DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present application, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] As some terms are used in the description and claims to refer to certain components, those skilled in the art should understand that hardware manufacturers can use different names to refer to the same components. The description and claims do not distinguish components by name difference, but by functional difference. As mentioned throughout the description and claims, "including" is an open term, which should be interpreted as "including but not limited to"; "approximately" means that persons skilled in the art can solve technical problems within a certain error range and basically achieve technical effects.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1The embodiment of the present application provides a test device 100, which is used for detecting the performance of a ball spline screw 200, for example, the test device 100 can be used for detecting the up-down moving precision, the rotating precision and the horizontal moving precision of the ball spline screw 200.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 The ball spline screw 200 is a composite unit in which the spiral raceway of the ball screw and the straight raceway of the rolling spline are designed on the same shaft and the screw mother and the spline mother are connected to the shaft. The linear and rotating movement of the shaft can be realized by the rotation or stop of the screw mother and the spline mother. In the embodiment, the ball spline screw 200 can include a spline screw shaft 201, a screw mother 203 and a spline mother 205, and the spline screw shaft 201 has an axis A. The screw mother 203 is connected to the spline screw shaft 201 through a threaded pair, the screw mother 203 and the spline mother 205 are sequentially arranged on the spline screw shaft 201, and the spline mother 205 is matched with the spline straight raceway on the spline screw shaft 201 through balls. In the application environment of the ball spline screw 200, the linear movement of the spline screw shaft 201 in the direction of the axis A can be realized by rotating the screw mother 203, and the rotating movement of the spline screw shaft 201 around the direction of the axis A can be realized by rotating the spline mother 205.

[0028] The ball spline screw 200 can be applied to a SCARA robot (assembly robot). As an example, the SCARA robot can include at least two joint arms, for example, a first joint arm and a second joint arm, the first joint arm and the second joint arm are rotatably connected, and the ball spline screw 200 is connected to one end of the second joint arm away from the first joint arm. When the SCARA robot works, the driving structure between the first joint arm and the second joint arm drives the second joint arm to rotate relative to the first joint arm, and the second joint arm drives the ball spline screw 200 to swing, so that the ball spline screw 200 has a movement in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the ball spline screw 200. If the ball spline screw 200 is vertically arranged during use, the movement in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the ball spline screw 200 is horizontal movement.

Details are described below.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2In the embodiment, the testing device 100 can include a base 10, a moving plate 30, a first driving mechanism 50, a second driving mechanism 70 and a third driving mechanism 90. In the actual application environment of the testing device 100, the base 10 can be fixed or placed on a water platform surface, the moving plate 30 is movably connected to the base 10, and the spline screw shaft 201 is connected to the moving plate 30. The first driving mechanism 50 is arranged on the base 10 and is drivingly connected to the moving plate 30, and the first driving mechanism 50 is used to drive the spline screw shaft 201 to move relative to the base 10 along a first direction X through the moving plate 30, and the first direction X intersects (for example, is perpendicular to) the direction of the axis A. The second driving mechanism 70 is arranged on the moving plate 30 and is drivingly connected to the screw nut 203, and the second driving mechanism 70 is used to drive the spline screw shaft 201 to move relative to the base 10 along a second direction Y through the screw nut 203, and the second direction Y is in the same direction as the direction of the axis A. The third driving mechanism 90 is arranged on the moving plate 30 and is drivingly connected to the spline nut 205, and the third driving mechanism 90 is used to drive the spline screw shaft 201 to rotate relative to the base 10 about the axis A through the spline nut 205.

[0031] During detection, the spline screw shaft 201 is connected to the moving plate 30, and the first driving mechanism 50 can drive the moving plate 30 to move along the first direction X, so as to drive the spline screw shaft 201 on the moving plate 30 to move along the first direction X. Wherein, the first direction X intersects the axis A, and the first driving mechanism 50 can drive the ball spline screw 200 to perform horizontal swing movement, so as to test the movement reliability of the ball spline screw 200 in the first direction X. The second driving mechanism 70 can test the movement reliability of the ball spline screw 200 in the second direction Y, and the third driving mechanism 90 can test the rotation movement reliability of the ball spline screw 200 about the axis A. The testing device 100 provided by the embodiment satisfies the performance and service life test of the up-down movement, the rotation movement and the horizontal movement of the ball spline screw 200, and comprehensively reflects the reliability of the ball spline screw 200. The testing device 100 covers the test of various movement forms of the ball spline screw 200, so that the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the performance test of the ball spline screw 200 are relatively improved.

[0032] In the present application, unless specifically defined or limited otherwise, the terms "mount", "connect", "connection", "fixed", and the like should be construed broadly. For example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or internal communication of two elements, or only surface contact. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3In the embodiment, the base 10 is used to mount other structures of the testing device 100.

In the embodiment, the base 10 is a welded metal base, and the testing device 100 can also include shockproof foot pads 101, which are arranged at the bottom of the base 10. The shockproof foot pads 101 can reduce the vibration caused by other driving structures during testing, so that the base 10 remains relatively stable. The number of shockproof foot pads 101 can be set to be multiple, and the multiple shockproof foot pads 101 are connected to the bottom of the base 10 along the circumference of the base 10. The bottom of the base 10 can be provided with multiple mounting structures for mounting the shockproof foot pads 101. The multiple shockproof foot pads 101 can further improve the buffering stability effect on the one hand, and improve the stability of placing the base 10 on the other hand. The weight of the welded metal base 10 and the buffering of the shockproof foot pads 101 enable the base 10 to remain stable in the movement state of the ball screw 200, and the position does not move, thereby improving the stability of the test.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the moving plate 30 is slidably connected to the base 10, and the moving plate 30 is used to cooperate with the first driving mechanism 50 to realize the movement test of the ball screw 200 in the first direction X. The first direction X can be the length direction of the base 10, or the width direction of the base 10. In the embodiment, the first direction X is the length direction of the base 10. The present specification does not limit the specific connection mode between the moving plate 30 and the base 10. For example, the moving plate 30 and the base 10 can be connected by the cooperation of a sliding groove and a sliding block, or can be connected by a sliding rail structure. In the embodiment, the base 10 includes a body 12 and a guide rail 14, the guide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the body 12, and the guide rail 14 extends along the first direction X.

The moving plate 30 and the base 10 are slidably connected through the cooperation of the sliding block 34 and the guide rail 14.

[0035] To facilitate the installation of the moving plate 30 and the guide rail 14, the base 10 further comprises a mounting plate 16 which is detachably connected to the body 12, and the guide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 16. During installation, the moving plate 30 and other structures thereon can be first installed on the mounting plate 16 through the guide rail 14, and then the mounting plate 16 is fixed to the body 12, for example, by screws, bolts or other fasteners.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The ball screw 200 is connected to the moving plate 30, where the "connection" can be fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; can be direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or only surface contact. In the embodiment, the moving plate 30 can further comprise a mounting portion 36 for mounting the ball screw 200, and the mounting portion 36 is connected to the side of the plate body 32 away from the mounting plate 16. The screw shaft 201 is movably arranged in the mounting portion 36, the screw nut 203 is rotatably connected to the mounting portion 36, and the spline nut 205 is also rotatably connected to the mounting portion 36. As an example, the number of mounting portions 36 can be two, and the mounting portions 36 are arranged in the direction of the axis A, and the screw nut 203 and the spline nut 205 are arranged in the direction of the axis A and are rotatably connected to the two mounting portions 36, respectively.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first driving mechanism 50 can comprise a first rotary driving member 52 and a link transmission assembly 54, the first rotary driving member 52 is arranged on the base 10, and the link transmission assembly 54 is movably connected between the first rotary driving member 52 and the moving plate 30. The first rotary driving member 52 is used to drive the moving plate 30 to move along the guide rail 14 through the link transmission assembly 54. The link transmission assembly 54 and the guide rail 14 convert the rotary motion output by the first rotary driving member 52 into linear motion, realizing the swing motion test of the ball screw 200 in the first direction X.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The base 10 can further include a first mounting portion 13 and a second mounting portion 15 arranged on the body 12 along the first direction X. The body 12, the first mounting portion 13 and the second mounting portion 15 can be integrally connected or welded. The mounting plate 16 is arranged on the first mounting portion 13, and the first rotary driving member 52 is arranged on the second mounting portion 15. The specific type of the first rotary driving member 52 is not limited in the present specification. The first rotary driving member 52 can be a rotary motor, a rotary cylinder, a motor or the like driving source. In the present embodiment, the first rotary driving member 52 is a rotary motor.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the connecting rod transmission assembly 54 can include a first transmission member 541, a crankshaft 543 and a transmission rod 545. The first transmission member 541 is transmissionally connected between the crankshaft 543 and the first rotary driving member 52. The transmission rod 545 is movably connected between the moving plate 30 and the crankshaft 543. The first rotary driving member 52 is configured to drive the crankshaft 543 to rotate through the first transmission member 541. The crankshaft 543 is a rotating shaft with an eccentric portion, and is configured to convert the rotary motion into the linear reciprocating motion. The first rotary driving member 52 drives the crankshaft 543 to rotate through the first transmission member 541. The crankshaft 543 converts the rotary motion into the linear reciprocating motion through the transmission rod 545 and the guide rail 14, so that the transmission rod 545 drives the moving plate 30 to move linearly and reciprocally along the guide rail 14, thereby realizing the linear reciprocating swing motion test of the ball spline screw 200.

[0040] The specific structure of the first transmission member 541 is not limited in the present specification. For example, the first transmission member 541 can include gears, racks or the like structures matched with each other, or can include synchronous belts and synchronous pulleys matched with each other. In the present embodiment, the first transmission member 541 can include a transmission belt 5412 and a transmission pulley 5414. The transmission pulley 5414 is rotatably connected to the second mounting portion 15, and is arranged between the moving plate 30 and the first rotary driving member 52. The transmission belt 5412 is wound around the transmission pulley 5414 and the output shaft of the first rotary driving member 52. The crankshaft 543 is connected to the rotating shaft of the transmission pulley 5414. In order to improve the mounting stability of the crankshaft 543, the crankshaft 543 can be rotatably connected to the base 10. As an example, the base 10 further includes a mounting seat 17 fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 15. The transmission pulley 5414 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 17, and the crankshaft 543 is connected between the transmission pulley 5414 and the mounting seat 17.

[0041] The first rotary driving member 52 drives the transmission pulley 5414 to rotate through the transmission belt 5412. The transmission pulley 5414 drives the crankshaft 543 to rotate. The crankshaft 543 converts the rotary motion into the linear reciprocating motion through the transmission rod 545 and the guide rail 14.

[0042] In order to improve the transmission stability of the first driving mechanism 50, in the embodiment, the first driving mechanism 50 can further comprise a tension adjusting member 56. The tension adjusting member 56 is connected between the base 10 and the first rotating driving member 52, and the tension adjusting member 56 is movably connected to the base 10. The movement of the tension adjusting member 56 relative to the base 10 can change the position of the first rotating driving member 52, so as to change the center distance between the output shaft of the first rotating driving member 52 and the rotating shaft of the crankshaft 543. The movement of the tension adjusting member 56 relative to the base 10 can change the center distance between the output shaft of the first rotating driving member 52 and the rotating shaft of the crankshaft 543, so as to adjust the tension of the transmission belt 5412 and improve the transmission stability.

[0043] Specifically, the second mounting portion 15 is provided with a mounting slope 152, and the distance from the upper surface of the mounting slope 152 to the upper surface of the body 12 decreases from the first mounting portion 13 to the second mounting portion 15. The first rotating driving member 52 is slidably connected to the mounting slope 152 through the tension adjusting member 56. As an example, the tension adjusting member 56 can comprise a base plate 561 and a sliding rail 563, the sliding rail 563 is fixedly connected to the mounting slope 152 and extends along the inclined arc of the mounting slope 152. The base plate 561 is slidably connected to the sliding rail 563, and the first rotating driving member 52 is fixedly arranged on the base plate 561. When the base plate 561 drives the first rotating driving member 52 to slide away from the crankshaft 543 along the sliding rail 563, the distance between the output shaft of the first rotating driving member 52 and the rotating shaft of the crankshaft 543 is increased, so as to tighten the transmission belt 5412 and achieve the effect of tensioning.

[0044] In the embodiment, one end of the transmission rod 545 is movably connected to the crankshaft 543, and the other end is movably connected to the moving plate 30. The moving plate 30 can be provided with a fixing block, and the end of the transmission rod 545 away from the crankshaft 543 is rotatably connected to the fixing block on the moving plate 30. When the crankshaft 543 rotates, the end of the transmission rod 545 away from the moving plate 30 performs a circular arc motion, so as to drive the other end of the transmission rod 545 to reciprocatingly push and pull the moving plate 30. Under the guiding and limiting action of the guide sliding rail 14, the reciprocating linear motion of the ball screw 200 on the moving plate 30 is realized.

[0045] The first driving mechanism 50 can further comprise an encoder 58, and the encoder 58 is connected to the rotating shaft of the crankshaft 543. The encoder 58 is used for monitoring the rotating speed of the crankshaft 543. The encoder 58 can convert mechanical motion into electrical signals or digital signals, and feedback the angle information of the crankshaft 543, so as to help the first rotating driving member 52 control the speed and ensure the accurate operation of the test process.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4In the embodiment, the second driving mechanism 70 is configured to drive the ball screw shaft 201 to move linearly along the second direction Y. In the embodiment, the second direction Y is the height direction of the base 10, and the second direction Y is substantially perpendicular to the first direction X. Since the base 10 is placed on the water surface in the application scenario, the second direction Y is the vertical direction in the embodiment. The second driving mechanism 70 can include a second rotating driving member 72 and a second transmission member 74. The second rotating driving member 72 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 30, and the second transmission member 74 is transmissionally connected between the ball screw nut 203 and the second rotating driving member 72. The second rotating driving member 72 drives the ball screw nut 203 to rotate relative to the moving plate 30 through the second transmission member 74.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the test device 100 can further include a plurality of load members 20. At least one of the plurality of load members 20 is arranged to be detachably connected to one end of the spline screw shaft 201. The plurality of load members 20 have different mass distributions.
