[0023] A linear shaft heat dissipation protection mechanism of a numerical control machine tool, as shown in the drawings, mainly comprises an organ protection cover 1, an axial flow fan 6 and a machine base 5 for mounting the axial flow fan 6. Figure 1
[0024] As shown in the drawings, the organ protection cover 1 is composed of an organ sleeve 1.1 and T-shaped end sleeves 1.2 arranged at both ends of the organ sleeve 1.1. Figure 1
[0025] The organ sleeve 1.1 is a flexible and retractable structure, which is made of a spiral steel wire framework and nylon cloth or glass fiber cloth wrapped outside, has the characteristics of oil resistance, corrosion resistance, impact resistance, long service life, good sealing, stable walking, firmness and durability, etc. The structure of the organ sleeve 1.1 is a known structure of the existing organ protection cover 1, which will not be described here.
[0026] Two T-shaped end sleeves 1.2 are respectively provided with an air inlet joint 4 and an air outlet joint 2, which are in communication with the inside of the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2. Air can enter the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 through the air inlet joint 4, and then flow out from the air outlet joint 2 through the organ sleeve 1.1 to take away the heat generated by the lead screw 9 in the organ sleeve 1.1, thereby cooling the lead screw 9.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, the machine base 5 is installed on the workbench 12 of the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool and can move synchronously with the ball nut 10, which can facilitate the arrangement of the air supply pipe 8, shorten the length of the air supply pipe 8, and avoid problems such as winding, disturbance and falling of the air supply pipe 8 during operation of the numerical control machine tool. Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the machine base 5 is installed on the workbench 12 of the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool and can move synchronously with the ball nut 10, which can facilitate the arrangement of the air supply pipe 8, shorten the length of the air supply pipe 8, and avoid problems such as winding, disturbance and falling of the air supply pipe 8 during operation of the numerical control machine tool.
[0028] As shown in the drawings, the machine base 5 is installed on the workbench 12 of the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool and can move synchronously with the ball nut 10, which can facilitate the arrangement of the air supply pipe 8, shorten the length of the air supply pipe 8, and avoid problems such as winding, disturbance and falling of the air supply pipe 8 during operation of the numerical control machine tool. Figure 1
[0029] Preferably, in the present embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the machine base 5 is installed on the workbench 12 of the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool and can move synchronously with the ball nut 10, which can facilitate the arrangement of the air supply pipe 8, shorten the length of the air supply pipe 8, and avoid problems such as winding, disturbance and falling of the air supply pipe 8 during operation of the numerical control machine tool. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the air inlet joint 4 is arranged on the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 screwed with the straight shaft ball nut 10, and air is sent into the organ protective cover 1 to ventilate and cool the lead screw 9. When the air is inhaled from the end close to the ball nut 10, the heat generated by the movement friction between the lead screw 9 and the ball nut 10 can improve the heat dissipation effect of the lead screw 9.
[0030] One of the T-shaped end sleeves 1.2 is provided with a plurality of air inlet joints 4 uniformly distributed in a ring shape with the axis as the center. The air is sent into the organ protective cover 1 through the plurality of air inlet joints 4, which can improve the air circulation on the outside of the lead screw 9 and improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0031] Another T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 is provided with a plurality of air outlet joints 2 uniformly distributed in a ring shape with the axis as the center. The air is sent into the organ protective cover 1 through the plurality of air inlet joints 4, and the air is discharged through the plurality of air outlet joints 2, which can improve the axial circulation of the air between the organ protective cover 1 and the lead screw 9 and improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0032] Preferably, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 Each of the air outlet joints 2 is connected to an air outlet pipe 3, and the length of the air outlet pipe 3 is 2-5 cm, which can prolong the air outlet channel and reduce the probability of damage to the lead screw 9 by the chips generated during the operation of the numerical control machine tool entering the organ protective cover 1 through the air outlet joint 2.
[0033] The working principle of the heat dissipation protection mechanism is as follows:
[0034] The lead screw 9 and the bearing 14 are key components of the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool. In addition, as shown in Figure 2 The linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool also includes a bearing seat 13 for mounting the bearing 14 to support the lead screw 9, a servo motor 15 for driving the lead screw 9 to rotate, a shaft coupling 16 for connecting the lead screw 9 and the power output end of the servo motor 15, a sliding block 11 matched with the ball nut 10, a workbench 12 mounted on the sliding block 11, a linear guide rail, and other components. The above-mentioned components are well-known technologies for the linear shaft of the numerical control machine tool, and will not be described here.
[0035] When the screw 9 of the linear axis of the numerical control machine tool is shielded and cooled, the heat dissipation protection mechanism is provided with two, the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms are sleeved on the screw 9, and are located on the two sides of the ball nut 10, respectively. When the ball nut 10 moves on the screw 9, one of the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms is extended, and the other is retracted, so as to shield and protect the screw 9. However, the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms share one axial flow fan 6. The axial flow fan 6 is a micro axial flow fan 6, such as AGE02006-12H type axial flow fan 6. Other types of axial flow fans 6 can also be selected. The size and flow of the axial flow fan 6 are selected according to the size of the screw 9 of the numerical control machine tool and the size of the workbench 12.
[0036] The specific installation structure of the heat dissipation protection mechanism is shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 One end of the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 of one of the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms is screwed on the bearing seat 13 near the servo motor 15, and the other end of the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 is screwed on the left end of the ball nut 10 and the left end of the sliding block 11. The T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 of the other heat dissipation protection mechanism is screwed on the right end of the sliding block 11, and the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 of the other heat dissipation protection mechanism is screwed on the bearing seat 13 away from the servo motor 15. The two heat dissipation protection mechanisms form an annular space between the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms and the screw 9. The two heat dissipation protection mechanisms shield and protect the screw 9 from iron filings, cooling liquid and tools. The axial flow fan 6 is installed on the workbench 12 through the machine base 5. The multiple air inlet joints 4 on the T-shaped end sleeve 1.2 of the two heat dissipation protection mechanisms are connected to the multiple shunt joints 7 on the side wall of the air supply bin 5.1 through the air supply pipe 8. Based on the temperature rise between the screw 9 and the ball nut 10 due to movement and friction during the operation of the numerical control machine tool, the axial flow fan 6 sends air to each air supply pipe 8, so that the air enters the annular space between the heat dissipation protection mechanism and the screw 9 through the air inlet joint 4 of the heat dissipation protection mechanism, and then flows out from the air outlet joint 2. The axial flow fan 6 can increase the air flow rate in the annular space, improve the air inlet from the end close to the ball nut 10 (i.e. the source of heat generation between the screw 9 and the ball nut 10), and improve the heat dissipation effect of the screw 9, thereby reducing the thermal elongation error of the screw 9 due to movement and friction, and ensuring the position accuracy and machining accuracy of the workpiece on the workbench.
