Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of ball screws, in particular to a screw nut cooling sleeve and a screw rod transmission mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] A ball screw pair is a kind of high-precision and high-stability transmission device. In some high-precision equipment, the screw rod will be elongated to a certain extent due to thermal expansion and cold contraction of the screw rod during long-time operation, thereby affecting the running accuracy of the ball screw pair.

[0003] A screw rod cooling system is a device for controlling the working temperature of a screw rod. In many high-precision mechanical equipment, the running accuracy of the screw nut is crucial to the overall performance of the equipment, and temperature changes will significantly affect the accuracy of the screw nut. The screw rod cooling system removes the heat generated by the operation of the screw nut through a cooling medium, thereby stabilizing the temperature of the screw nut.

[0004] The existing screw rod cooling system usually makes the screw rod hollow, and cools it by circulating cooling liquid in the screw rod. For example, application No. 202410565848.2 discloses a screw rod constant temperature cooling system, which comprises a screw rod assembly, a driving motor and a liquid cooling machine.

The screw rod is sealingly connected with the motor shaft, and the screw rod through hole is in communication with the shaft through hole. The liquid cooling machine is used for making the cooling liquid flow through the screw rod through hole and the shaft through hole. The liquid cooling machine can make the cooling liquid flow through the screw rod through hole and the shaft through hole, remove the heat generated by the high-speed rotation of the motor and the friction between the screw nut and the screw rod, and keep the screw rod in a constant temperature state.

[0005] Since the screw rod needs to rotate during operation, the cooling liquid circulation pipeline needs to be rotationally sealed with the screw rod, which increases the overall manufacturing difficulty of the device and greatly increases the manufacturing cost and service life.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present embodiment provides a cooling sleeve for screw nut, which comprises a cooling sleeve 100 and two fastening parts 200. The cooling sleeve 100 defines a hollow cavity 120 for embedding a screw nut 300, and has an opening 130 extending through the entire cooling sleeve 100 along the axial direction of the cooling sleeve 100. The two fastening parts 200 are respectively located on both sides of the opening 130, and are used to close the opening 130.

[0041] Referring to Figure 3In the embodiment, the nut cooling sleeve is arranged on the screw nut 300 of the screw driving mechanism, and the nut cooling sleeve can utilize the circulating cooling medium to take away the heat generated by the screw nut 300 due to friction during operation through heat exchange, so as to ensure that the screw nut 300 works in a suitable temperature range and maintain its accuracy and performance.

[0042] The cooling sleeve 100 has an opening 130 penetrating through the cooling sleeve 100 along the axial direction of the cooling sleeve 100, and two fastening parts 200 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the opening 130. When the cooling sleeve 100 is installed, the cooling sleeve 100 can be sleeved on the predetermined position of the screw nut 300, and then the two fastening parts 200 can be fixed by bolts to tightly fix the cooling sleeve 100 on the screw nut 300. The structure is simple, convenient to install, and reliable. The opening 130 can greatly simplify the installation process and improve work efficiency. At the same time, the fastening part 200 can ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection between the cooling sleeve 100 and the screw nut 300, and thus can ensure that the cooling sleeve 100 can effectively cool the screw nut 300 and ensure the machining accuracy of the screw.

[0043] Therefore, the screw nut 300 is cooled and controlled by the nut cooling sleeve in the embodiment, the rapid cooling of the screw is realized, the deformation of the screw during machining is avoided, the machining accuracy of the screw is improved, and the opening 130 of the cooling sleeve 100 is provided with the fastening part 200 on both sides. The cooling sleeve 100 can be tightly fixed on the screw nut 300 by the fastening part 200, which is convenient to install and reliable.

[0044] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 The fastening body 210 extends radially outwardly, and the mounting hole 220 is arranged in the fastening body 210 and is used for fixed connection with a bolt to close the opening 130.

[0045] In the embodiment, the mounting hole 220 is arranged on the fastening body 210 and is used for fixed connection with a bolt. It can be understood that the mounting hole 220 can be a threaded hole. When the nut cooling sleeve and the screw nut 300 are installed, the size of the hollow cavity 120 of the nut cooling sleeve is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the screw nut 300. The nut cooling sleeve can be sleeved on the screw nut 300, and then the bolt and the mounting hole 220 are connected together to lock the fastening part 200, so that the fastening body 210 is tightly fixed on the screw nut 300. The installation is convenient, and the heat dissipation effect is good.

[0046] Specifically, referring to Figure 2The fastening part 200 further comprises a gradual connection part 230 connected to the fastening body 210 and the cooling sleeve 100, and the cross-sectional size of the gradual connection part 230 gradually increases from the cooling sleeve 100 to the opening 130 side.

[0047] In the embodiment, the gradual connection part 230 can significantly reduce the stress concentration of the cooling sleeve 100, so that the stress distribution of the fastening part 200 position is more uniform, and the local stress is avoided to be too high.

[0048] Specifically, the cooling sleeve 100 and the two fastening parts 200 are integrally formed, the structural strength is high, and the production process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

[0049] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the cooling sleeve 100 comprises a sleeve body 110, a first liquid cooling channel 140, a first liquid inlet 150 and a first liquid outlet 160. The first liquid cooling channel 140 is arranged in the sleeve body 110, the first liquid inlet 150 is arranged in the sleeve body 110, the first liquid inlet 150 is in communication with the first liquid cooling channel 140, the first liquid outlet 160 is arranged in the sleeve body 110, and the first liquid outlet 160 is in communication with one end of the first liquid cooling channel 140 away from the first liquid inlet 150.

[0050] In the embodiment, the first liquid cooling channel 140 is arranged in the sleeve body 110, and the first liquid cooling channel 140 is in communication with the first liquid inlet 150 and the first liquid outlet 160, respectively. It can be understood that the cooling liquid can enter the first liquid cooling channel 140 from the first liquid inlet 150 and flow out from the first liquid outlet 160, so as to take away the heat on the sleeve body 110, so as to realize the cooling of the screw nut 300, and ensure that the screw nut 300 works in a suitable temperature range, so as to maintain its precision and performance.

[0051] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the first liquid cooling channel 140 comprises a left liquid cooling channel 141 and a right liquid cooling channel 142 in communication with the left liquid cooling channel 141. The left liquid cooling channel 141 is located on the left side of the cooling sleeve 100, and the right liquid cooling channel 142 is located on the right side of the cooling sleeve 100.

[0052] In the embodiment, the first liquid cooling flow channel 140 includes a left liquid cooling flow channel 141 and a right liquid cooling flow channel 142. It can be understood that the cooling sleeve 100 has a proximal end and a distal end. Taking the case where the first liquid inlet 150 is located at the proximal end, the first liquid inlet 150 can be in communication with the left liquid cooling flow channel 141, the left liquid cooling flow channel 141 extends from the proximal end to the distal end, the right liquid cooling flow channel 142 is in communication with the left liquid cooling flow channel 141 at the distal end, and the right liquid cooling flow channel 142 extends from the distal end to the proximal end. The right liquid cooling flow channel 142 is in communication with the first liquid outlet 160 at the proximal end, that is, the first liquid inlet 150 and the first liquid outlet 160 are both located at the proximal end, which can facilitate the arrangement of pipelines and the installation and maintenance.

[0053] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the left liquid cooling flow channel 141 includes a plurality of S-shaped flow channels 143 in sequence; and the right liquid cooling flow channel 142 includes a plurality of S-shaped flow channels 143 in sequence.

[0054] In the embodiment, the S-shaped flow channel 143 can prolong the flow path of the cooling liquid, increase the area of contact between the screw nut and the cooling surface, and improve the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the S-shaped flow channel 143 causes more turbulent flow of the cooling liquid when flowing, breaks the laminar boundary layer, and improves the heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the S-shaped flow channel 143 can make the cooling liquid more uniformly distributed, avoid local overheating, and ensure the overall temperature consistency of the screw nut 300.

[0055] Specifically, the pipeline diameter of the first liquid cooling flow channel 140 is 3-5 mm.

[0056] In the embodiment, the pipeline size of the first liquid cooling flow channel 140 directly affects the flow rate and pressure of the cooling liquid. For example, under the same pumping power, an increase in the pipeline diameter increases the flow rate of the cooling liquid, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation capacity. However, an increase in the pipeline diameter leads to a decrease in flow resistance and a decrease in pressure drop, thereby reducing the power consumption of the pump. Therefore, the pipeline diameter needs to be designed to meet the balance point between the flow rate and the pressure drop. In the embodiment, the pipeline diameter of the first liquid cooling flow channel 140 is 3-5 mm, which is reasonable in design and can achieve efficient liquid cooling heat dissipation effect.

[0057] Specifically, the distance between two adjacent flow channels in the S-shaped flow channel 143 is 5-7 mm.

[0058] In the embodiment, the distance between two adjacent flow channels in the S-shaped flow channel 143 is small, the flow channels are dense, the number of flow channels per unit area is increased, the heat dissipation area is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. However, the dense flow channels increase the flow resistance, leading to an increase in pressure drop and an increase in pump power demand. In the embodiment, the distance between two adjacent flow channels in the S-shaped flow channel 143 is 5-7 mm, which is moderate and helps to uniformly distribute heat and reduce local overheating, thereby achieving high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0059] Embodiment 2:

[0060] The application also provides a lead screw transmission mechanism comprising the lead nut cooling sleeve of the above embodiments. The lead screw transmission mechanism can have all the technical features and advantages of the lead nut cooling sleeve described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0061] In summary, the application discloses a lead nut cooling sleeve and a lead screw transmission mechanism. The lead nut cooling sleeve comprises a cooling sleeve and two fastening parts. The cooling sleeve defines a hollow cavity for embedding a lead screw nut. The cooling sleeve has an opening extending through the cooling sleeve along the axial direction of the cooling sleeve. The two fastening parts are respectively located on both sides of the opening and used to close the opening. The lead nut cooling sleeve can cool and control the heat generated by the lead screw nut, realize the rapid cooling of the lead screw, avoid the deformation of the lead screw during the machining process, and thus improve the machining precision of the lead screw. The opening of the cooling sleeve is provided with fastening parts on both sides, which can tightly fix the cooling sleeve on the lead screw nut, and the installation is convenient, firm and reliable.
