[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a ball screw, including a threaded screw 1, a nut 2 threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded screw 1, a ball body 3 disposed between the threaded screw 1 and the nut 2, the threaded screw 1 having a helical raceway, and the nut 2 also having a corresponding raceway. When the threaded screw 1 and the nut 2 rotate relative to each other, due to the action of the helix, the nut 2 will generate linear motion along the axis of the screw. A fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the nut 2, a connecting block 9 is inserted into the inside of the fixing ring 5, and a positioning component 4 is disposed inside the connecting block 9. The inner side wall of the fixing ring 5 is fixed. A lubricating pad 7 is connected, and the inner wall of the lubricating pad 7 is in contact with the outer surface of the threaded screw 1. The lubricating pad 7 is supported by a sponge and absorbs the lubricating fluid. The lubricating pad 7, which absorbs the lubricating fluid, lubricates the outer surface of the threaded screw 1. A lubricating tank 10 is fixedly connected inside the fixing ring 5. The outer surface of the lubricating pad 7 is connected to the bottom of the lubricating tank 10 through a connecting pipe. The lubricating tank 10 is used to place the lubricating fluid. The connecting pipe is used to transport the lubricating fluid inside the lubricating tank 10 to the inside of the lubricating pad 7. A pushing mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the top of the lubricating tank 10.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The pushing mechanism 6 includes a push rod 61, which is piston-connected to the top of the lubrication tank 10. The push rod 61 is slidably connected inside the fixed ring 5. Pushing the push rod 61 causes it to slide within the fixed ring 5 and the lubrication tank 10. The push rod 61 is elastically connected to the outer surface of the fixed ring 5 via a return spring 62. The side wall of the push rod 61 is fixedly connected to one end of the return spring 62, and the other end of the return spring 62 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed ring 5. During the pushing process, the push rod 61 compresses the return spring 62, causing it to deform. During reset, the return spring 62 rebounds, causing the push rod 61 to rebound and reset. A push plate 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the push rod 61 and slidably connected inside the lubrication tank 10. The push rod 61 then drives the push plate 63 to slide stably within the lubrication tank 10.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4 The positioning component 4 includes a positioning block 41, which is slidably connected inside the connecting block 9 and inserted into the fixing ring 5. A moving rod 42 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioning block 41, passing through and slidably connected inside the connecting block 9. The fixing ring 5 has a connecting groove that matches the size of the connecting block 9, and a positioning hole is formed on the side wall of the connecting groove. By inserting the positioning block 41 into the positioning hole, the stability of the connection between the connecting block 9 and the fixing ring 5 is improved. The side wall of the positioning block 41 is elastically connected to the connecting block 9 through a positioning spring 43. One end of the spring 43 is fixedly connected, and the other end of the positioning spring 43 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 5. After pushing the moving rod 42, the positioning block 41 is driven to squeeze the positioning spring 43, causing the positioning spring 43 to deform. When resetting, the rebound of the positioning spring 43 drives the positioning block 41 to slide and reset. The bottom of the connecting block 9 is fixedly connected to the cleaning ring 8. The inner wall of the cleaning ring 8 is provided with a cleaning pad. The inner wall of the cleaning pad is in contact with the outer surface of the threaded screw 1. During the movement of the connecting block 9, the cleaning ring 8 is driven to slide on the outer surface of the threaded screw 1, and the cleaning pad is used to clean the outer surface of the threaded screw 1.

[0034] Working principle: During use, the nut 2 rotates on the outer surface of the threaded screw 1, which drives the fixed ring 5 to move. The movement of the fixed ring 5 drives the cleaning ring 8 to move. The cleaning ring 8 cleans the outer surface of the threaded screw 1. When the cleaning ring 8 is damaged after long-term use and needs to be replaced, the moving rod 42 is pushed to drive the positioning block 41 to squeeze the positioning spring 43 and enter the interior of the connecting block 9. Then the connecting block 9 and the cleaning ring 8 are removed from the interior of the fixed ring 5, which satisfies the effect of disassembling and replacing the cleaning ring 8.

[0035] Meanwhile, when the threaded screw 1, nut 2, and ball body 3 generate friction during long-term operation, the operator pushes the push rod 61 to compress the reset spring 62, which in turn drives the push plate 63 to slide inside the lubrication tank 10. During the sliding process, the push plate 63 pushes the lubricant inside the lubrication tank 10 out of the through hole at the bottom and pushes it into the lubrication pad 7. Then, the lubrication pad 7 contacts the threaded screw 1 and the ball body 3 to achieve a lubrication effect, thereby improving the lubrication effect and service life between the threaded screw 1 and the ball body 3.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
