In the transmission process, the lead screw generates heat due to friction or is affected by the temperature of the machining environment, which causes the lead screw to expand and stretch in the axial direction, resulting in a decrease in the machining accuracy of the machine tool.
[0003] At present, a mounting structure for reducing thermal deformation of a tool turret machine is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN113478273A, which comprises a mounting bracket mounted on a machine tool bed, a tool turret slidingly connected to the mounting bracket, and a driving motor mounted on the mounting bracket. The driving motor drives the tool turret to slide through a lead screw pair. The two ends of the lead screw are mounted on the rack through two bearing seats. A nut is threadedly connected to one end of the lead screw, and the nut is used to apply a pre-tension force to the lead screw through the bearing seat. In order to improve the structural strength between the bearing seat and the mounting bracket, a protrusion is provided at the bottom of the bearing seat, and the mounting bracket is provided with a groove, the protrusion and the groove are matched, and the protrusion is used to balance the tension received by the bearing seat.
[0004] However, during long-term use, the tool turret is closer to the lower bearing seat, so the lower bearing seat is subjected to the tension of the lead screw and also needs to withstand the vibration generated during the machining of the tool turret, which causes the bearing seat to easily deform, thereby affecting the pre-tensioning amount of the lead screw and causing the machining accuracy of the machine tool to decrease.

[0045] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 The present application will be described in further detail.
[0046] The present application discloses a reinforced lead screw pre-tension structure. Referring to Figure 1 , the lead screw pre-tension structure comprises:
[0047] A mounting seat 100 is slidably connected to the frame of a machine tool along a Y axis (not shown in the figure), and the Y axis is parallel to the main shaft of the machine tool in this embodiment;
[0048] A tool turret seat 200 is slidably connected to the mounting seat 100 along an X axis, wherein the X axis is perpendicular to the Y axis, and the X axis is inclined in this embodiment;
[0049] A driving structure is configured to drive the tool turret seat 200 to slide along the X axis direction.
[0050] The bottom of the mounting seat 100 is slidably connected to the rack through two pairs of slide rail pairs 102. The two pairs of slide rail pairs 102 are distributed along the X axis and are arranged at different heights. The bottom of the mounting seat 100 is integrally formed with a sleeve mounting portion 101. The sleeve mounting portion 101 is in the shape of a sleeve with an opening at the lower end, which is used to mount the sliding block of the lead screw pair that drives the mounting seat 100 to slide along the Y axis. The sleeve mounting portion 101 is located on the line connecting the two pairs of slide rail pairs 102, so that the sleeve mounting portion 101 can be close to the turret seat 200 to reduce the force arm in the force system of the mounting seat 100, thereby reducing the deformation amount of the mounting seat 100.
[0051] With reference to Figure 2 , the driving structure comprises:
[0052] a lead screw 300, the lead screw 300 being parallel to the X axis, and both ends of the lead screw 300 being provided with bearing seats, the bearing seats being mounted to the mounting seat 100;
[0053] a sliding block 400, the sliding block 400 being in the shape of a sleeve, the sliding block 400 being sleeved on the lead screw 300 and being threadedly connected with the lead screw 300, and the sliding block 400 being fixedly connected with the turret seat 200; and
[0054] a driving member 500, the driving member 500 being mounted to the mounting seat 100 and being used to drive the lead screw 300 to rotate, so as to control the sliding of the turret seat 200, the driving member 500 being a servo motor in the embodiment.
[0055] The bearing seats comprise an upper bearing seat 600 close to the driving member 500 and a lower bearing seat 700 located away from the driving member 500. The two bearing seats support the lead screw 300 and also apply a pre-tension to the lead screw 300, so as to pre-stretch the lead screw 300.
[0056] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lower bearing seat 700 comprises a first seat body 710 and a first ball bearing 720 mounted in the first seat body 710.
[0057] The first seat body 710 comprises a connecting portion 711 and a mounting portion 712, which are integrally forged and formed. In the embodiment, the connecting portion 711 is in the shape of a cuboid as a whole, and the upper end of the connecting portion 711 is provided with chamfered corners on both sides. The connecting portion 711 is provided with a stepped hole for mounting the first ball bearing 720.
[0058] The mounting portion 712 is in a cuboid shape and has two, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting portion 711, and are fixedly connected with the mounting base 100 through a plurality of bolts. A tapered pin 713 for positioning is arranged between the mounting portion 712 and the mounting base 100. The first seat body 710 is first positioned by the tapered pin 713, and then the bolts are fixed, so that the mounting position of the first seat body 710 is more accurate, the stress of the bolts is more uniform, and the stability of the first seat body 710 is improved.
[0059] In order to facilitate the processing of the mounting surface of the mounting base 100 which is in contact with the first seat body 710, the mounting base 100 is integrally formed with a backing plate 103. The backing plate 103 is in a U shape, and the lower surface of the first seat body 710 is in contact with the backing plate 103. The mounting base 100 is integrally formed with a shoulder 104, and the backing plate 103 is connected with the shoulder 104. The mounting portion 712 and the connecting portion 711 are flush and abut against the shoulder 104 on the side facing the shoulder 104.
[0060] The first ball bearing 720 has three and is located in the stepped hole. The outer ring of the innermost first ball bearing 720 abuts against the step of the stepped hole of the first seat body 710. The first seat body 710 is threadedly connected with a fixing ring 730, and the fixing ring 730 abuts against the outer ring of the outermost first ball bearing 720.
[0061] One end of the lead screw 300 is threadedly connected with a first adjusting block 740, and the first adjusting block 740 is extruded to the inner ring of the first ball bearing 720 on the end facing the sliding block 400. The first adjusting block 740 is rotated to adjust the pre-tension of the lead screw 300 and control the pre-stretching length of the lead screw 300.
[0062] In order to improve the axial bearing capacity, the first ball bearing 720 is an angular contact bearing. The angular contact bearing has a front surface and a back surface. The front surface of the angular contact bearing is the thinner side of the outer ring, and the back surface is the thicker side of the outer ring. Among them, the front surfaces of the two first ball bearings 720 located in the deep part of the stepped hole face the fixing ring 730, and the back surface of the outer first ball bearing 720 is in contact with the fixing ring 730.
[0063] Referring to Figure 5 The upper bearing seat 600 includes a second seat body 610, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100 through a bolt. The second seat body 610 is also provided with a stepped hole, and two second ball bearings 620 are installed in the stepped hole of the second seat body 610. The two second ball bearings 620 are angular contact bearings and are installed in the same direction. The lead screw 300 is threadedly connected with a second adjusting block 630, and the second adjusting block 630 abuts against the inner ring of the outer second ball bearing 620. The second adjusting block 630 is rotated to adjust the pre-tension of the lead screw 300 and control the pre-stretching length of the lead screw 300.
[0064] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows:Figure 6 The first seat body 710 is abutted against the shoulder 104 under the pulling force of the screw rod 300, and the shoulder 104 supports the pulling force of the screw rod 300 on the first seat body 710. Compared with the prior art, the first seat body 710 is subjected to compressive stress, and the force structure of the first seat body 710 is changed.
[0065] Firstly, the two force receiving surfaces of the first seat body 710 are closer. The force receiving surface A 714 is the force receiving surface of the pressure applied by the first ball bearing 720 on the first seat body 710, and the force receiving surface B 715 is the force receiving surface of the support force applied by the shoulder 104 on the first seat body 710. The distance between the force receiving surface A 714 and the force receiving surface B 715 is smaller. When the deformed part has a smaller length, the deformation is smaller under the same pulling force.
[0066] Secondly, the force receiving cross-sectional area is larger. Because the two forces are not on the same line, shear force is generated, and the shear stress generated by the shear force is transversely through the first seat body 710. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the cross-sectional area of the shear stress in the present application is larger, and the shear stress is smaller, so that the deformation is not easy to occur.
[0067] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made on the basis of the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
