Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ball screw deflector installation, and in particular relates to a ball screw deflector installation device. Background Technology

[0002] Ball screws are a common linear transmission element widely used in machine tools, aerospace, automotive and other fields. Because the transmission medium is steel balls, which undergo rolling friction between the screw and nut, ball screws offer high transmission accuracy and efficiency.

[0003] Common ball screw types include internal circulation type, insert type, and end cap type, with the appropriate type chosen based on different space requirements. The principle of the end cap type ball screw is similar to that of the insert type, but the difference lies in that the end cap type ball screw uses a deflector instead of an insert to guide the steel balls into the return groove between the nut and the end cap, allowing the steel balls to circulate between the screw, nut, and end cap. The deflector is generally fixed to the nut by an interference fit between its outer surface and the nut's helical groove. The installation position of the deflector is crucial for ensuring smooth, unobstructed circulation of the steel balls. Furthermore, to prevent the deflector from changing position under the impact of the steel balls, the relative motion resistance between the two must be very high. This means that installing the deflector into the nut is very difficult, which is detrimental to the conversion efficiency and cost control of the end cap type ball screw.

[0004] Therefore, addressing the shortcomings of the existing technologies has become the focus of efforts for those skilled in the field. Utility Model Content

[0030] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. While example embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, a ball screw deflector mounting device comprises a guide rail base, a guide rail 1 is installed on the guide rail base, a support block 2 is detachably installed on the guide rail base through a screw, a fixed seat 3 is arranged on the top of the support block 2, a horizontal mounting hole 4 is arranged on the fixed seat 3, two positioning holes 5 and one auxiliary positioning hole 6 are arranged on the top surface of the fixed seat 3 and communicate with the horizontal mounting hole 4, the two positioning holes 5 are arranged at the two ends of the horizontal mounting hole 4, a positioning block 7 is arranged on the top of the fixed seat 3, two positioning pins 71 and one auxiliary positioning pin 72 are arranged on the bottom of the positioning block 7, the positioning pins 71 are matched with the positioning holes 5, the auxiliary positioning pin 72 is matched with the auxiliary positioning hole 6, and a positioning mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed seat 3.

[0032] In the embodiment, the horizontal mounting hole 4 is used for clamping the nut 8, and a gap 9 is arranged on the top surface of the fixing base 3 and communicated with the horizontal mounting hole 4. A locking screw 10 is arranged on the fixing base 3 corresponding to the gap 9. The nut 8 is fixed in the horizontal mounting hole 4 by screwing the locking screw 10. See Figure 7 A pin hole 11 is arranged on the fixing base 3 and communicated with the horizontal mounting hole 4. The pin hole 11 and the pin hole on the outer circle of the nut 8 are matched to axially position the nut 8. When the outer circle of the nut 8 has no pin hole, a stop can be arranged on the horizontal mounting hole 4 to position the nut 8.

[0033] When the deflector 28 is assembled, the two positioning pin rods 71 are inserted into the back bead holes 12 at both ends of the nut 8 to determine the mounting position of the deflector 28, and the auxiliary positioning pin 72 is inserted into the positioning hole 13 on the surface of the nut to prevent the positioning pin rod 71 from tilting during the mounting of the deflector 28 to cause the mounting position to change, thereby improving the mounting accuracy of the deflector 28. Specifically, since the back bead hole 12 of the nut 8 has a tolerance, the outer diameter of the positioning pin rod 71 needs to be smaller than the lower tolerance of the back bead hole 12 to enable the positioning pin rod 71 to be inserted into the back bead hole 12. Therefore, during actual assembly, there is a gap between the two positioning pin rods 71 and the back bead hole 12. When the deflector 28 is placed on the positioning pin rod 71, the positioning pin rod 71 will tilt to a certain extent. The embodiment adds the auxiliary positioning pin 72 to form a three-point positioning plane, and the gap between the auxiliary positioning pin 72 and the positioning hole 13 is smaller than the gap between the positioning pin rod 71 and the back bead hole 12, thereby preventing the positioning pin rod 71 from tilting and improving the positioning accuracy.
