TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of screw module, especially a closed screw module. BACKGROUND
[0002] The screw module is a mechanical device, and its core function is to convert the rotary motion of the motor into linear motion. This conversion mechanism has been widely used in the field of automation equipment and precision machinery. It is composed of several key components, including ball screws, linear guides, support seats, couplings, and motors.
[0003] In the mechanical transmission system, the screw module plays an important role, but different structural designs also bring different challenges. Although the open structure of the screw module is more flexible in design and use, it is vulnerable to external environmental influences due to the lack of closed protection. Specifically, dust and particulate matter can easily enter the friction surface between the screw and the nut, which not only accelerates wear and shortens the module's life, but also affects the motion accuracy and reduces the system performance. Therefore, in order to maintain its normal operation, regular cleaning is required, which undoubtedly increases the maintenance cost and workload.
[0004] In contrast, the closed structure of the screw module can effectively prevent dust and particulate matter from entering and protect the internal components from external environmental influences. However, this design also brings new problems. The closed structure restricts the dissipation of heat, causing the internal temperature of the module to rise. In a high-temperature environment, the performance of the lubricating grease will decrease, accelerating the wear process, and even possibly causing the lubricating grease to deteriorate. In addition, high temperatures can also cause thermal expansion of the screw and nut, further affecting the motion accuracy and stability. If the internal temperature is too high, it may also cause damage to the internal parts of the module, and even cause safety accidents such as fires. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the technical means, creation characteristics, achieve purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.
[0026] Embodiment one
[0027] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, we introduce a carefully designed closed screw module in detail, which mainly includes: base 1, sliding groove 2, connecting table 3, screw assembly 5, sliding seat 6 and other key components. The sliding groove 2 is ingeniously arranged at the bottom of the cavity of the base 1, and the connecting table 3 is stably seated in the sliding groove 2. What is particularly important is that the screw assembly 5 is accurately connected at the opening position of the connecting table 3, and the sliding seat 6 is ingeniously installed on the connecting table 3, which ensures the stability and efficient operation of the whole system.
[0028] In order to further improve the closure and functionality of the system, the connecting part 7 is specially designed on both sides of the sliding seat 6, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also facilitates subsequent installation and debugging. In addition, the first end cover 9 and the second end cover 10 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the base 1, and the closing cover 8 is equipped at the top of the base 1. The three work together to realize the complete closure of the opening of the base 1, effectively preventing the intrusion of external impurities. At the same time, the sliding seat 6 and its connecting part 7 can move flexibly along the tiny gap between the closing cover 8 and the base 1, ensuring the smooth operation of the system.
[0029] In terms of power transmission, this embodiment adopts an advanced combination of driving motor 12 and speed reducer 16. Specifically, the output end of the driving motor 12 is connected closely with the screw assembly 5 through the speed reducer 16. In order to improve the heat dissipation effect and prolong the service life of the motor, the output end of the driving motor 12 is specially installed with a heat dissipation fan 13. When the motor is running, the heat dissipation fan 13 will rotate, introducing fresh air into the inner cavity of the base 1 through the guide plate 15. This design not only realizes the air flow and equipment cooling inside the base 1, but also effectively blows out dust particles in the gap, maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of the system.
[0030] The sliding seat 6 and the connecting table 3 are firmly connected by bolts. The sliding seat 6 and the connecting part 7 adopt an integrated design, and the cross section presents a unique "U" shape design. Such design not only looks beautiful and elegant, but also enhances the stability and carrying capacity of the structure. In addition, the end face of the connecting part 7 is ingeniously provided with screw holes, which is convenient for subsequent installation and debugging work.
[0031] This embodiment also demonstrates a very high level. For example, the screw rod assembly 5 is cleverly erected on the second end cover 10 through the bearing assembly, and is tightly connected with the output end of the speed reducer 16 through the clamp. Such design not only ensures the stable operation of the screw rod assembly 5, but also greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process. At the same time, the sliding seat 6, the connecting part 7 and the base 1 in contact with them are designed to be smooth, further reducing the friction resistance and wear degree.
[0032] In terms of installation and fixation of the driving motor 12, this embodiment also shows a high professionalism. The driving motor 12 is firmly installed on the fixed cover 14 and the shell 11 through bolts. The cooling fan 13 is cleverly clamped on the block at the output end of the driving motor 12 and is limited and fixed by bolts. In addition, in order to further improve the stability and safety of the system, bearings are specially arranged between the driving motor 12 and the fixed cover 14 to bear radial and axial loads.
[0033] Embodiment two
[0034] On the basis of keeping all the advantages of embodiment one, embodiment two also makes a series of innovative improvements and enhancements. First of all, in order to further improve the stability and moving precision of the connecting table 3, we specially add limiting blocks 4 to the side wall of the connecting table 3. These limiting blocks 4 can be accurately erected in the limiting grooves of the side wall of the sliding groove 2, effectively limiting the shaking and deviation of the connecting table 3 during movement. This design not only improves the overall performance and reliability of the system, but also brings users a smoother and more accurate use experience.
[0035] In addition, we have also further optimized and innovated the design of the guide plate 15. The guide plate 15 is cleverly divided into a connecting frame and a plurality of inclined drainage plates. These inclined drainage plates are equally distributed on the end face of the connecting frame, forming a unique air flow channel. When the fresh air is introduced into the inner cavity of the base 1 through the guide plate 15, these inclined drainage plates can guide the airflow to flow in a specific direction, thereby achieving a more efficient and uniform heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the connecting frame is firmly fixed on the fixed cover 14 through bolts, and the guide plate 15 and the connecting plate 17 are fixed by welding to ensure their stability. The connecting plate 17 is fixed on the first end cover 9 by bolts to form a complete air flow system.
[0036] Embodiment two further improves the overall performance and reliability of the closed screw rod module by a series of innovative improvements and enhancements on the basis of keeping the original advantages. No matter from the aspects of structural design, power transmission or detail processing, it shows a very high level and professionalism.
[0037] Use process: Place the base 1 in the predetermined position and make sure it is stable. Install the sliding groove 2 at the bottom of the cavity of the base 1, make sure it is installed flat. Place the connecting table 3 in the sliding groove 2, and cooperate with the limiting block 4 and the limiting groove of the sliding groove 2 to ensure the stability of the connecting table 3. Install the lead screw assembly 5 on the second end cover 10 through the bearing assembly, and connect it with the output end of the reducer 16 through the clamp. Install the driving motor 12 on the fixed cover 14 and the shell 11 through bolts, and install the cooling fan 13 on the output end of the motor. Install the first end cover 9, the second end cover 10 and the closure cover 8 to ensure that the opening of the base 1 is completely closed.
[0038] Start the driving motor 12, and the motor drives the lead screw assembly 5 to rotate through the reducer 16. The rotation of the lead screw assembly 5 drives the sliding seat 6 to move along the sliding groove 2 on the connecting table 3, realizing precise position control. The sliding seat 6 and its connecting part 7 move flexibly in the gap between the closure cover 8 and the base 1, ensuring smooth operation.
[0039] When the motor is running, the cooling fan 13 rotates to introduce fresh air into the inner cavity of the base 1 through the guide plate 15. The fresh air flows in the inner cavity of the base 1, carrying away the heat generated by the motor and the lead screw assembly 5, realizing the cooling effect. At the same time, the airflow blows through the gap, carrying out the dust particles, keeping the system clean.
[0040] When cooling and dust removal: when the driving motor 12 starts to work, the cooling fan 13 starts synchronously. The rotation of the cooling fan 13 generates wind power, which guides fresh air into the inner cavity of the base 1 through the guide plate 15. The fresh air flows in the inner cavity of the base 1, forming air circulation. The flowing air carries away the heat generated by the motor, the reducer 16 and the lead screw assembly 5, realizing the cooling of the equipment. Especially for the motor part, the direct blowing effect of the cooling fan 13 is particularly significant, effectively prolonging the service life of the motor. In the process of air flow, the airflow blows through the gap between the sliding seat 6 and the connecting part 7. The dust particles that may accumulate in these gaps are carried out by the airflow and discharged out of the system through the opening or exhaust port of the base 1. Especially under the optimization design of the guide plate 15, the inclined guide plate can guide the airflow to flow in a specific direction, improving the dust removal efficiency. During the continuous operation of the equipment, the cooling and dust removal system remains in working condition. Regularly check and clean the dust on the inner cavity of the base 1 and the guide plate 15 to ensure the cleanliness and efficient operation of the system. If necessary, the speed of the cooling fan 13 or the angle of the guide plate 15 can be adjusted to optimize the cooling and dust removal effect.
