Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball screws, specifically to high-reliability ball screws. Background Technology
[0002] A ball screw typically consists of a screw and a ball screw assembly. The ball screw assembly has a through hole with threaded grooves on its inner wall, into which balls are embedded. The screw has external threaded grooves. The ball screw assembly and the screw are screwed together to form the ball screw. However, the stability of existing ball screws is not very good, and the reason lies in the ball screw assembly. For example, Chinese utility model patent application number CN202421378639.9 discloses a precision ball screw, including a screw body. The outer wall of the screw body is threadedly connected to an mounting sleeve. The inner wall of the mounting sleeve has a groove, and a set of ball bodies are arranged on the inner wall of the groove. In this invention, when the lead screw body rotates, it drives the mounting base one and the mounting sleeve on its surface to rotate. At this time, the mounting base one causes the two mounting bases two to rotate, and the two cleaning brushes slide on the surface of the lead screw body to remove contaminants, reducing the impact of contamination on the performance of the ball screw. Simultaneously, this device enables automatic cleaning of the lead screw body while it rotates, effectively reducing cleaning costs and downtime, thereby improving the production efficiency of related equipment. However, the small connection area between the mounting sleeve (equivalent to the ball screw pair) and the lead screw body in this patent leads to lower stability. Summary of the Invention
