[0002] Compact ball screws for multi-degree-of-freedom robot joints, typically referring to planetary ball screws, are high-end precision transmission components that play a crucial role in the robotics field. Planetary ball screws offer numerous advantages, particularly in applications requiring precise control and high thrust output. They exhibit significant advantages in miniaturization, as their structural design allows for high thrust output within a relatively small volume. This is especially important for space-constrained multi-degree-of-freedom robot joints, helping robot designers integrate more functions within limited space and improve the overall performance of the robot.
[0003] Existing compact roller screws are widely used, but when using lubricating oil for lubrication, the existing devices can usually only apply the lubricating oil to the outside of the screw, and the rollers in the transmission seat cannot be coated with lubricating oil and cannot be fully lubricated. Therefore, to address the above problems, a compact roller screw for multi-degree-of-freedom robot joints is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0026] A compact roller screw for a multi-degree-of-freedom robot joint includes a drive screw 1 and a transmission seat 2 threadedly connected to the outside of the drive screw 1. A lubricating oil filling hole 3, communicating with the inside of the transmission seat 2, is provided on one side of the transmission seat 2. A filling tube 4, fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission seat 2, is provided on one side of the lubricating oil filling hole 3. A threaded groove 5 is provided on the top of the inner side of the filling tube 4. A threaded block 6 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded groove 5. An air intake assembly 7 is installed inside the threaded block 6. A piston 8 is installed at the bottom of the air intake assembly 7. A compression spring 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston 8. A limiter 10 is installed on the outside of the air intake assembly 7. The piston 8 is located inside the filling tube 4 and fits tightly against the inner side of the filling tube 4. The top of the compression spring 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded block 6. The air intake assembly 7 includes an air pipe 71 vertically disposed inside the threaded block 6 and passing through the threaded block 6. An air hole communicating with the bottom outer side of the air pipe 71 is provided. 72. The top end of the air pipe 71 is fixedly connected to an installation frame 73 that passes through the air pipe 71. A filter block 74 is provided inside the installation frame 73. The connection between the air pipe 71 and the threaded block 6 is a sliding connection, and the connection between the filter block 74 and the installation frame 73 is a snap-fit connection. Multiple air holes 72 are provided, and the air holes 72 are distributed in a polar axis on the outside of the air pipe 71. Through the provided lubricating oil filling hole 3, filling pipe 4, threaded groove 5, threaded block 6, air intake assembly 7, piston 8 and compression spring 9, when using the device, the threaded block 6 is unscrewed, an appropriate amount of lubricating oil is added to the inside of the filling pipe 4, the installation frame 73 is pulled and the threaded block 6 is screwed into the inside of the threaded groove 5, and then the installation frame 73 is released. At this time, the compression spring 9 continues to reset and press the lubricating oil into the inside of the transmission seat 2. This design can fill the space between the rollers in the transmission seat 2 with lubricating oil, making the lubrication more sufficient, and can prevent dust from entering the transmission seat 2.
[0027] The limiter 10 includes semi-open tubes 101 symmetrically arranged on the outside of the trachea 71. The semi-open tubes 101 are hinged together by spring hinges 102. A handle 103 is fixedly connected to the outside of the semi-open tubes 101. The inside of the semi-open tubes 101 is tightly fitted to the outside of the trachea 71. The top of the semi-open tubes 101 is tightly fitted to the bottom of the mounting frame 73. The bottom of the semi-open tubes 101 is tightly fitted to the top of the threaded block 6. By using the limiter 10, semi-open tubes 101, spring hinges 102 and handles 103, the mounting frame 73 is lifted and the limiter 10 is installed on the outside of the trachea 71 when adding lubricating oil, thereby limiting the trachea 71 and making it more convenient for operators to operate.
[0028] Workflow: When lubricating oil needs to be added, first lift the mounting frame 73, causing the air pipe 71 to slide inside the threaded block 6, which in turn causes the piston 8 to rise. The compression spring 9 is compressed, and the air between the piston 8 and the threaded block 6 enters the air pipe 71 through multiple air holes 72 and is discharged through the mounting frame 73 and the filter block 74. Then, press the handle 103 on the half-open pipe 101 to open the spring hinge 102, opening the two half-open pipes 101. Place the two half-open pipes 101 on the air pipe 73. 1. Release the handle 103 from the outside. The spring hinge 102 returns to its original position, clamping the two semi-open tubes 101 onto the outside of the air tube 71. Then, release the mounting frame 73. The compression spring 9 returns to its original position slightly, causing the air tube 71 to slide inside the threaded block 6 until the top of the semi-open tube 101 is tightly fitted with the bottom of the mounting frame 73 and the bottom of the semi-open tube 101 is tightly fitted with the top of the threaded block 6. Next, unscrew the threaded block 6 from the inside of the threaded groove 5. Add an appropriate amount of lubricating oil to the inside of the filling tube 4 and then screw the threaded block 6 back into the threaded groove. Inside the slot 5, press the handle 103 to remove the half-open tube 101 from the outside of the air tube 71. At this time, the compression spring 9 continues to reset, driving the air tube 71 and piston 8 to move. Outside air enters the air tube 71 through the filter block 74 in the mounting frame 73. The filter block 74 filters the dust in the air. The air entering the air tube 71 enters the inside of the filling tube 4 through the air hole 72. The piston 8 continues to move downward, pressing the lubricating oil into the inside of the transmission seat 2 through the lubricating oil filling hole 3. At this time, the drive screw 1 can be started, so that the transmission seat 2 reciprocates outside the drive screw 1. After the transmission seat 2 moves back and forth several times, the lubricating oil in the filling tube 4 can completely enter the transmission seat 2, so that the rollers in the transmission seat 2 are filled with lubricating oil. The design of the air intake component 7 and its connecting components can directly press the lubricating oil into the transmission seat 2, making the lubrication more sufficient and preventing dust from entering the transmission seat 2. The design of the limiter 10 can limit the air tube 71, making it more convenient for the operator to operate.
