Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of ball screw assembly processing equipment, specifically a ball nut clamp for processing ball screw assemblies. Background Technology

[0002] A ball screw pair, also known as a ball screw assembly or ball screw assembly, consists of two matching parts: a screw and a nut. It is currently the most precise and commonly used transmission device in transmission machinery. The ball screw pair is a helical transmission element with steel balls as rolling elements between the screw and the nut. It can convert rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa. Therefore, the ball screw pair is both a transmission component and an element that converts between linear and rotary motion.

[0003] During the machining of ball screw assemblies, the ball nuts need to be clamped and limited. However, since the outer circumference of the ball nut is cylindrical rather than a typical hexagon, ordinary fixtures cannot effectively clamp and limit the ball nuts, thus affecting the machining accuracy of the ball nuts and causing inconvenience in the machining process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a ball nut fixture for machining ball screw assemblies. This invention utilizes the cooperation of two arc-shaped plates to initially limit and fix the sides of the ball nut. Furthermore, with the cooperation of an L-shaped plate and a pressure plate, the top of the ball nut is further limited and fixed, thereby improving the limiting effect of the ball nut, ensuring its stability during machining, and thus improving machining accuracy. Simultaneously, by adjusting the first and second screws, it can accommodate ball nuts of different sizes and dimensions, thereby increasing the practicality of the device, reducing operating costs, and facilitating the machining of ball nuts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0007] Furthermore, two guide rods distributed front to back are mounted on the top surface of the base via a fixing plate. Both guide rods pass through a sliding block, and the sliding block can slide left and right along the two guide rods.

[0008] Further, the top surface of each pressing plate is provided with two front and rear distributed limiting rods, and each limiting rod penetrates through the corresponding L-shaped plate and can slide up and down along the corresponding L-shaped plate.

[0009] Further, the surface of each guiding rod and each limiting rod is a smooth surface.

[0010] Further, the inner side surface of each arc-shaped plate is provided with an arc-shaped elastic pad.

[0011] Further, the top surface of the base is provided with mounting holes at four corners.

[0012] Further, one end of the first screw rod is provided with a connecting block, and the top end of each second screw rod is provided with a second connecting block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0014] 1.
