Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of slide transmission of a forming machine, in particular to a precision slide transmission mechanism using a ball spline. Background Art

[0002] In the current existing technology, the slide of the forming machine generally adopts guide plates installed on both sides and above and below the moving pair to provide guidance. The linear motion error generated by the slide mainly comes from the matching clearance between the guide plate and the slide, which directly affects the forming accuracy of the product; in order to improve the motion accuracy of the slide, a secondary guide rail is often set, which makes the overall structure of the slide and the bed complicated, and the sliding friction generated by the slide pair formed by the guide plate and the secondary guide rail is also relatively large, which is not conducive to the sliding of the slide. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned technology and to provide a precision slide transmission mechanism which reduces the linear motion error of the slide during the linear reciprocating motion and improves the product forming accuracy.

[0004] The axle up and down groove at two ends embeds respectively in two guide rails up and down of being made up of the groove on the attachment piece, and the tooth on the attachment piece is meshed with tooth on upper sprocket wheel, the lower sprocket.

[0005] To reduce the impact of the slide's weight on its movement, a support structure is provided between the slide's bottom and the bed. The support structure includes a guide plate fixed to the bed and a flat roller bearing fixed to the slide's bottom corresponding to the guide plate. The flat roller bearing fixed to the slide's bottom can be provided with a bearing support at the slide's bottom, with the flat roller bearing mounted on the bearing support. A second adjustment pad can also be provided on the bearing support to facilitate adjustment of the flat roller bearing's vertical clearance and horizontal position in the direction of movement. Alternatively, the guide plate can be provided at the slide's bottom, the bearing support can be provided on the bed, and the flat roller bearing can be provided on the bearing support.

[0006] The precision slide transmission mechanism designed in this utility model utilizes a ball spline for guidance. In combination with the drive characteristics of the forming machine, the driving force acting on the slide is not parallel to the spline shaft, but rather has a vertical downward component. Therefore, a support structure is provided at the bottom of the slide to balance this component, improving structural rigidity while reducing the load on the ball spline and extending the spline's service life. In a ball spline, rolling friction between the balls and the raceway is significantly reduced compared to the sliding friction generated by the existing slide pair. As a result, the overall motion resistance of the slide is reduced, and the required driving force and heat generation are significantly reduced, enabling high-speed and smooth linear motion.

[0007] Compared to existing slide structures using guide plates, the slide mechanism designed in this utility model achieves a smaller gap between the ball bearings and the raceway, significantly improving the slide's motion accuracy and, consequently, the product's forming precision. Conventional slides require auxiliary guide rails to enhance motion accuracy, which complicates the overall structure of the slide and bed. This mechanism eliminates the need for auxiliary guide rails, reducing the manufacturing and assembly costs of the slide and guide plates while also simplifying and simplifying the design of the lubrication system. The structure also facilitates installation, maintenance, and inspection, and offers excellent interchangeability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
