Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field, specifically a direct-drive servo motor for resistance spot welding. Background Technology
[0002] When direct-drive servo motors are used in robotic resistance welding, there is a need for anti-rotation guidance of their push rods. Existing direct-drive servo motors require an external anti-rotation guidance mechanism, which is relatively complex in structure and has high requirements for the processing and assembly accuracy of parts and the final debugging. At the same time, it also makes the structure of the robotic resistance welding equipment larger and occupies more space. Therefore, it is necessary to design a direct-drive servo motor with an internal anti-rotation guidance mechanism. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a direct-drive servo motor for resistance spot welding to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A direct-drive servo motor for resistance spot welding includes a power actuator, a motor, a support base, a cylinder, and a bearing housing; the cylinder is placed between the support base and the bearing housing, the motor is connected to the power actuator, and the motor drives the power actuator system to perform reciprocating linear motion through an anti-rotation guide mechanism.
[0006] In this embodiment of the invention, the power actuator includes a lead screw disposed inside the cylinder, the rear end of the lead screw is connected to an output shaft disposed at the front end of the motor via a flat key, a bearing is fitted on the outer side of the lead screw, and a bearing seat is rotatably connected to the end of the bearing facing the motor.
[0007] Both the output shaft and the lead screw have keyways, which are then used in conjunction with a flat key to ensure the connection between the lead screw and the output shaft.
[0008] The bearing is fixed by a lock nut, and its front end is positioned by a snap ring. A push rod is set at the front end of the lead screw, and a shaft hole is opened inside the push rod. One end of the lead screw extends into the shaft hole with a gap distribution. A lead screw nut is threaded onto the lead screw. A lead screw nut guide seat is connected to the outside of the lead screw nut by a flat key. The flat key is positioned by screws and locking blocks to prevent loosening and ensure smooth transmission. The front end of the lead screw nut guide seat is locked to the tail end of the push rod by screws. At the same time, an anti-rotation guide mechanism is set on the outside of the lead screw nut to guide the linear movement of the lead screw nut. When the motor starts, the control output shaft drives the lead screw to rotate. At this time, the lead screw nut synchronously drives the lead screw nut guide seat to reciprocate linearly along the lead screw, thereby driving the push rod to reciprocate and extend.
[0009] Specifically, a set of support seats is movably installed on the outer side of the push rod, and the push rod moves through the support seats to extend and retract.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by directly connecting the lead screw to the motor output shaft and using a flat key to transmit torque, intermediate transmission losses are reduced;
[0011] The precise fit between the guide rod and the guide bushing ensures that the lead screw nut moves only in a straight line, preventing rotational deviation.
[0012] The direct-connect design saves space and is suitable for scenarios with strict requirements on equipment size, such as resistance spot welding. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 A direct-drive servo motor for resistance spot welding includes a power actuator, a motor 17, a support base 6, a cylinder 8, and a bearing housing 16. The cylinder 8 is placed between the support base 6 and the bearing housing 16. The motor 17 is connected to the power actuator and drives the power actuator system to perform reciprocating linear motion through an anti-rotation guide mechanism.
[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the power actuator includes a lead screw 7 disposed inside the cylinder 8. The rear end of the lead screw 7 is connected to an output shaft 28 disposed at the front end of the motor 17 via a flat key 9. A bearing 14 is fitted on the outer side of the lead screw 7. A bearing seat 16 is rotatably connected to one end of the bearing 14 facing the motor 17.
[0024] Both the output shaft 28 and the lead screw 7 have keyways, which are then used in conjunction with the flat key 9 to ensure the connection between the lead screw 7 and the output shaft 28.
[0025] The bearing 14 is fixed by the locking nut 15, and its front end is locked and positioned by the snap ring 13. The front end of the lead screw 7 is provided with a push rod 1, and the push rod 1 has a shaft hole. One end of the lead screw 7 extends into the shaft hole with a gap distribution. The lead screw 7 is threadedly connected to the lead screw nut 27. The lead screw nut 27 is connected to the outside of the lead screw nut 27 by a flat key 9. The flat key 9 is positioned by the screw 29 and the locking block 10 to prevent it from loosening and ensure smooth transmission. The front end of the lead screw nut guide seat 11 is locked to the tail end of the push rod 1 by the screw 26. At the same time, an anti-rotation guide mechanism is provided on the outside of the lead screw nut 27 to guide the linear movement of the lead screw nut 27. The lead screw nut 27 and the lead screw 7 are threadedly engaged and rotate at the same time. That is, when the motor 17 starts, the control output shaft 28 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw nut 7 synchronously drives the lead screw nut guide seat 11 to reciprocate linearly along the lead screw 7, thereby driving the push rod 1 to reciprocate telescopic movement.
[0026] Specifically, a set of support seats 6 is movably provided on the outer side of the push rod 1, and the push rod 1 moves through the support seats 6 to extend and retract.
[0027] In one embodiment of the present invention, the anti-rotation guide mechanism includes two grooves formed at the diagonal corners of the bottom side of the lead screw nut guide seat 11. A guide sleeve 22 is embedded in the grooves, and a guide rod 20 passes through the inside of the guide sleeve 22. That is, the guide rod 20 passes through the guide sleeve 22, and the end of the guide rod 20 facing the inside of the guide sleeve 22 is fixed on the bearing seat 16. The other end of the guide rod 20 is fixed inside the support seat 6, and a precision fit is made. The guide rod 20 is fixed on the lead screw nut guide seat 11 through the guide sleeve 22 to prevent the lead screw nut 27 from rotating when it is moving in a straight line, that is, to play the function of guiding and anti-rotation.
[0028] When the guide sleeve 22 is inserted into the groove, a washer 21 is fitted on the outer side for compression to increase the stability of the connection.
[0029] The front end of the support base 6 is provided with a bushing 5 for supporting the push rod 1. At the same time, a scraper 3 is provided on the outside of the push rod to remove impurities encountered by the push rod 1 during operation. A sealing ring 4 is provided inside the telescopic connection between the push rod 1 and the support base 6 to prevent impurities from entering the interior and affecting the operation of the motor.
[0030] A buffer pad 12 is placed between the bearing housing 16 and the lead screw nut guide seat 11 to buffer the impact force generated when the push rod 1 reciprocates.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the lead screw nut guide seat 11 and the cylinder 8 are provided with inlets on both sides. An oil nozzle 25 is installed on the inlet on the upper side of the lead screw nut 27 to perform oiling and maintenance on the lead screw 7. The cylinder 8 is wrapped with a dust cover 18 to prevent impurities from entering the cylinder 8 and affecting the motor performance.
[0032] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
