Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball nut technology, and in particular to a ball nut storage mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] A ball nut, sometimes called a ball screw nut, is an important component used in conjunction with a ball screw. It is mainly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa. It achieves this conversion process through internal balls that roll in helical grooves between the ball screw and the ball nut, thereby reducing friction and providing higher efficiency, precision and durability.
[0003] Currently, most common ball nut storage devices are open or drawer-type designs, with relatively simple structures and functions. In actual use, they have problems such as inconvenience in picking up and putting down the nuts and cumbersome operation steps. Especially in automated production or assembly scenarios that require frequent switching of ball nuts of different specifications, such storage methods cannot meet the needs of quick access and efficient management, thus affecting overall production efficiency and ease of operation.
[0004] To address the existing problems, there is a need to provide a ball nut storage mechanism that allows for quick retrieval and placement. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the drawer-type structure's inconvenience in quickly retrieving and placing various ball nuts, this utility model provides a ball nut storage mechanism.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a ball nut storage mechanism, comprising an installation frame, sleeves, sliding rods, a first spring, a connecting plate, a moving frame, a connecting block, a placement box, an installation bracket, a sliding frame, a wedge block, a second spring, a synchronization plate, and a push plate. Multiple sleeves are installed inside the installation frame, each sleeve has a sliding rod slidably connected inside it, each sliding rod is connected to a corresponding sleeve by a first spring, each sliding rod has a connecting plate connected to its front side, a moving frame is connected between every two connecting plates, each moving frame has a connecting block connected to it, and a placement box is placed inside each moving frame. Installation brackets are symmetrically installed on the installation frame, each installation bracket has a sliding frame slidably connected inside it, each sliding frame has a wedge block connected to its bottom, each wedge block is symmetrically connected to a corresponding installation bracket by a second spring, a synchronization plate is connected between two sliding frames, and a push plate is connected between the front sides of three connecting blocks.
[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, and a magnet. The first mounting plate is symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the mounting frame, the second mounting plate is symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the mounting frame, and a magnet is embedded in the rear side of the mounting frame.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a protective cover, which is fitted onto the synchronization board.
[0009] Furthermore, it also includes sponge pads, with sponge pads symmetrically connected on the left and right sides of the push plate.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes indicator panels, with multiple indicator panels connected to each placement box.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the first and second mounting plates has multiple mounting holes.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the synergistic action of the first and second springs, combined with the limiting structure of the wedge block and the push plate, the moving frame can be quickly ejected when needed, facilitating the insertion and removal of the ball nuts. In the stored state, the moving frame can be stably locked to prevent accidental ejection, ensuring the sealing and safety of the device. At the same time, this structure supports the classified storage of ball nuts of various specifications. With the addition of a storage box with partitioned areas, it further improves management efficiency and ease of use. It is especially suitable for automated production or assembly scenarios that require frequent replacement of ball nuts of different specifications, significantly improving work efficiency and operational reliability.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] 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.
[0020] Example: A ball nut storage mechanism, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a mounting frame 1, sleeves 2, sliding rods 3, a first spring 4, a connecting plate 5, a moving frame 6, a connecting block 601, a placement box 7, a mounting bracket 8, a sliding bracket 9, a wedge block 10, a second spring 11, a synchronization plate 12, a push plate 13, a first mounting plate 14, a second mounting plate 15, a magnet 16, a protective sleeve 17, a sponge pad 18, and an indicator plate 19. Multiple sleeves 2 are installed inside the mounting frame 1, and each sleeve 2 has a sliding rod 3 slidably connected inside. Each sliding rod 3 is connected to a corresponding sleeve 2. A first spring 4 is connected to each sliding rod 3. A connecting plate 5 is connected to the front side of each sliding rod 3. A movable frame 6 is connected between every two connecting plates 5. The movable frame 6 is used to accommodate the placement box 7. A connecting block 601 is connected to each movable frame 6. The placement box 7 is placed inside each movable frame 6. The placement box 7 is used to classify and store ball nuts of different specifications. Mounting frames 8 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1. A sliding frame 9 is slidably connected inside each mounting frame 8. A wedge block 10 is connected to the bottom of each sliding frame 9. Each wedge block 10 is connected to a corresponding... Each mounting bracket 8 is symmetrically connected with a second spring 11, which provides a restoring force for the sliding bracket 9 and the wedge block 10. A synchronization plate 12 is connected between the two sliding brackets 9. A push plate 13 is connected between the front sides of the three connecting blocks 601. A first mounting plate 14 is symmetrically connected to the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1. A second mounting plate 15 is symmetrically installed on the mounting frame 1. Each first mounting plate 14 and second mounting plate 15 has multiple mounting holes for fixing the device in the working area. A magnet 16 is embedded in the rear side of the mounting frame 1. The magnet 16 is used to fix the device to the metal surface by magnetic adsorption. A protective sleeve 17 is fitted on the synchronization plate 12 to protect the synchronization plate 12 and the surrounding structure. Sponge pads 18 are symmetrically connected to the push plate 13 to cushion the contact between the push plate 13 and the external structure, prevent collision damage and improve operating comfort. Multiple indicator plates 19 are connected to each placement box 7 to indicate the specifications of the stored ball nuts for quick identification and retrieval.
[0021] When this device is needed, the operator first secures the mounting frame 1 in the operator's work area using any one of the following methods: the first mounting plate 14, the second mounting plate 15, or the magnet 16. After installation, the device can be put into use. Subsequently, the operator pulls the synchronous plate 12 upwards, which drives the two sliding frames 9 and the wedge blocks 10 connected to them to move upwards synchronously. During this process, multiple second springs 11 are compressed. When the two wedge blocks 10 rise to the point where they no longer contact the push plate 13, the first spring 4 loses its restraint and begins to return to its original position, driving the sliding rod 3, connecting plate 5, moving frame 6, and connecting block connected to it. 601 and the push plate 13 move forward as a whole. At this time, the three moving frames 6 automatically pop out under the action of spring force, making it easy to put the placement box 7 in. After the three moving frames 6 have fully popped out, the operator can release the synchronization plate 12. At this time, the second spring 11 returns to its original position, driving the sliding frame 9 and the wedge block 10 to move downwards and return to their original positions, preparing for the next operation. Next, the operator puts the placement box 7, which is used to store ball nuts, into the three moving frames 6 in sequence. The placement box 7 can be designed as needed to have a structure with multiple partitioned areas, which is convenient for classifying and storing ball nuts of different specifications. Then, various types of ball nuts are put into the corresponding placement box 7 according to their specifications. During the loading process, the worker pushes the push plate 13 backward. The push plate 13 drives the connecting block 601, the moving frame 6, the connecting plate 5, and the sliding rod 3 to move backward as a whole. At this time, the first spring 4 is compressed, accumulating reset energy. When the push plate 13 continues to move backward and contacts the inclined surface of the wedge block 10, the push plate 13 applies an upward thrust to the wedge block 10, causing the wedge block 10 to slide upward along the sliding frame 9, simultaneously driving the sliding frame 9 and the synchronous plate 12 to move upward. At this time, the second spring 11 is compressed. After the push plate 13 passes the top of the inclined surface of the wedge block 10, the wedge block 10 quickly resets under the action of the second spring 11 and returns to the push plate. The push plate 13 is positioned on the front side and contacts the synchronous plate 12. At this time, the push plate 13 is limited and fixed by the wedge block 10, thereby locking the moving frame 6 and the placement box 7 to prevent them from accidentally popping out when not in operation, ensuring the sealing and safety of the device. After the above operation is completed, the three placement boxes 7 are stably stored inside the mounting frame 1, realizing the centralized storage and sealed protection of the ball nuts. When the ball nuts need to be used again, the operator only needs to pull the synchronous plate 12 upward again to release the wedge block 10 from limiting the push plate 13. The first spring 4 will then push the moving frame 6 to pop out quickly, realizing the quick access of the ball nuts. The operation is efficient and convenient.
[0022] 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.
