Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball screw technology, and more specifically, to a wear-resistant ball screw. Background Technology
[0002] A ball screw is a mechanical transmission device that converts rotary motion into linear motion. It is widely used in various applications requiring precise linear positioning, such as CNC machine tools, automated production lines, and industrial robots. During the use of a ball screw assembly, the steel balls cause the nut to reciprocate on the screw, thus converting rotary motion into linear motion. However, after prolonged use, friction is generated between the steel balls and the screw in most ball screw assemblies, causing damage to the surfaces of both the steel balls and the screw. Generally, this is addressed by spraying softening oil onto the surfaces of the steel balls and the screw to reduce friction.
[0003] However, most existing ball screw assemblies require the softened oil to be delivered to the nut through an oil hole when spraying softened oil. If multiple lubrications are needed, the softened oil needs to be added to the nut multiple times, making it inconvenient to add softened oil to the nut. This makes the use of the ball screw assembly inconvenient. At the same time, if there are impurities in the softened oil during the addition process, it is very easy to clog the addition hole. The screw is exposed to the atmosphere, allowing dust to come into contact with the balls through the surface of the screw, increasing the friction between the balls and the screw, causing the screw to wear and develop gaps. There is also a lack of dust cleaning devices. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a wear-resistant ball screw to solve the technical problems of inconvenient lubrication and cleaning of ball screws mentioned in the background art.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5A wear-resistant ball screw includes a screw body 1, a movable sleeve 2 and steel balls 3 on the screw body 1, a wear-resistant mechanism on the screw body 1 and the movable sleeve 2, an oil injection chamber 4 on the movable sleeve 2, an oil injection rod 5 slidably mounted on the oil injection chamber 4, an oil injection plate 6 at one end of the oil injection rod 5, an oil injection spring 7 between the oil injection plate 6 and the oil injection chamber 4, a lubrication chamber 8 connected to one side of the oil injection chamber 4, a plurality of lubrication holes 9 at the bottom of the lubrication chamber 8, and a cleaning sleeve 10 on one side of the movable sleeve 2. The cleaning sleeve 10 is provided with a support sleeve 11, and a support rod 12 is slidably provided inside the support sleeve 11. A cleaning brush 13 is provided on the support rod 12, and a support plate 14 is provided on the support rod 12. A support spring 15 is provided between the support plate 14 and the cleaning sleeve 10. An installation sleeve 22 is provided on one side of the cleaning sleeve 10. The installation sleeve 22 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the movable sleeve 2. A pressure pad 23 is provided between the cleaning sleeve 10 and the movable sleeve 2. Lubricating cotton 24 is attached to the inside of the installation sleeve 22.
[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the oil injection rod 5 and oil injection plate 6 in the oil injection chamber 4 compress the oil injection spring 7, giving the oil injection plate 6 a downward elastic force, thereby ensuring that the lubrication hole 9 is always filled with lubricating oil. The lubricating oil enters the movable sleeve 2 through the lubrication hole 9 to lubricate the steel ball 3, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation of the steel ball 3. The cleaning sleeve 10 is installed on the movable sleeve 2 by the installation sleeve 22, and the thread engagement force between the installation sleeve 22 and the movable sleeve 2 is improved by the clamping pad 23, thereby making the cleaning sleeve 10 installed stably. The support spring 15 gives the support plate 14 a stable elastic force, thereby causing the support rod 12 and the cleaning brush 13 to abut against the lead screw body 1. When the lead screw body 1 rotates, the threads of the lead screw body 1 are cleaned by the cleaning brush 13. At the same time, the lubricating cotton 24 facilitates the wiping of the surface of the lead screw body 1, improving the surface lubrication of the lead screw body 1.
[0029] Please see Figure 3-5 As one embodiment of the filter cylinder 16: the filter cylinder 16 is connected to one side of the oil filling chamber 4, the filter cylinder 16 is provided with a feed hole 17 on one side, the feed hole 17 is provided with a feed sleeve 18 on one side, the feed sleeve 18 is threadedly connected with a plug 19, the filter cylinder 16 is provided with a first magnet 20, the movable sleeve 2 is provided with a second magnet 21, and the wear-resistant mechanism includes a protective coating 25, a high-temperature resistant layer 26 and a wear-resistant layer 27.
[0030] More specifically, when injecting oil into the oil injection chamber 4, the plug 19 is opened, and the oil injection rod 5 and oil injection plate 6 are pulled upwards. Oil is injected into the filter cylinder 16 through the feed sleeve 18. The lubricating oil is filtered through the filter cylinder 16, so that the lubricating oil is injected into the oil injection chamber 4 after filtration. After the oil injection is completed, the feed sleeve 18 is sealed again through the plug 19. When cleaning the filter cylinder 16, it is pulled upwards directly. After cleaning, the filter cylinder 16 is reinstalled on the moving sleeve 2 through the cooperation of the first magnet 20 and the second magnet 21. The wear-resistant layer 27 is a ceramic nano wear-resistant coating, and the high-temperature resistant layer 26 is a nano high-temperature resistant coating, which improves the wear resistance and high-temperature resistance of the moving sleeve 2 and the lead screw body 1.
[0031] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: During use, the oil injection rod 5 and oil injection plate 6 in the oil injection chamber 4 compress the oil injection spring 7, giving the oil injection plate 6 a downward elastic force. This ensures that the lubrication hole 9 is always filled with lubricating oil. The lubricating oil enters the movable sleeve 2 through the lubrication hole 9 to lubricate the steel ball 3, thereby improving the smoothness of the steel ball 3's rotation. The cleaning sleeve 10 is installed on the movable sleeve 2 via the installation sleeve 22, and the clamping pad 23 increases the thread engagement force between the installation sleeve 22 and the movable sleeve 2, thus stabilizing the installation of the cleaning sleeve 10. The support spring 15 provides a stable elastic force to the support plate 14, causing the support rod 12 and the cleaning brush 13 to abut against the lead screw body 1. When the lead screw body 1 rotates, the cleaning brush 13 cleans the threads of the lead screw body 1. Simultaneously, the lubricating cotton 24 facilitates wiping the surface of the lead screw body 1, improving the surface lubrication of the lead screw body 1.
[0032] When injecting oil into the oil filling chamber 4, open the plug 19, pull the oil filling rod 5 and the oil filling plate 6 upward, and inject oil into the filter screen cylinder 16 through the feed sleeve 18. The filter screen cylinder 16 filters the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil is injected into the oil filling chamber 4 after filtration. After the oil filling is completed, the feed sleeve 18 is sealed again through the plug 19. When cleaning the filter screen cylinder 16, pull it directly upward. After cleaning, the filter screen cylinder 16 is reinstalled on the moving sleeve 2 by the cooperation of the first magnet 20 and the second magnet 21. The wear-resistant layer 27 is a ceramic nano wear-resistant coating, and the high-temperature resistant layer 26 is a nano high-temperature resistant coating, which improves the wear resistance and high-temperature resistance of the moving sleeve 2 and the lead screw body 1.
