Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball screw technology, and more specifically, to a novel planetary ball screw for robots. Background Technology

[0002] Planetary roller screws are precision rolling helical transmission mechanisms that convert rotary motion into linear motion. However, the alloy materials used in existing planetary roller screws are prone to wear, affecting the accuracy of robot movements and resulting in a short service life.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of a new type of planetary roller screw for robots. By using carbon fiber composite roller screws and applying a nano-hard alloy coating to the surface of the main screw, the service life of the equipment can be improved, while at the same time, the screw nut part can be sealed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a novel planetary roller screw for robots. By using a carbon fiber composite roller screw and applying a nano-hard alloy coating to the surface of the main screw, the service life of the equipment can be improved, and at the same time, the screw nut part can be sealed.

[0005] This utility model achieves its purpose through the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel planetary roller screw for robots, characterized by comprising: a main screw, typically a multi-start threaded shaft, connected to the output end of a motor or reducer to provide rotational power; a screw nut, coaxially arranged with the main screw, having a multi-start internal thread, which can be used for both fixing and linear motion output; symmetrically fixed gear rings that mesh with gears to ensure synchronous rotation of all roller screws and prevent slippage; a set of roller screws, each with a single-start thread, which rotates on its own axis and revolves around the axis of the main screw, forming planetary motion, thereby converting the rotational motion of the main screw into the linear displacement of the screw nut; a transmission mechanism positioned between the main screw and the screw nut, with gears fixedly connected to both ends of each roller screw, each gear meshing with the corresponding screw nut; and symmetrical guide plates, each with mounting grooves corresponding to a set of roller screws, with each roller screw mounted on the guide plates, the roller screws evenly distributed in the circumferential direction and their spacing maintained.

[0007] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the lead screw nut is provided with symmetrical slots, and retaining rings are respectively provided in the symmetrical slots to realize the axial positioning of the guide plate, effectively prevent the guide plate from moving in the axial direction, and enhance the stability of the structure.

[0008] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the retaining ring is fixedly connected to at least two perforated plates at the notch. By using a tool to clamp the perforated plates, the retaining ring undergoes elastic deformation, facilitating its installation and removal.

[0009] As a further limitation of this technical solution, end caps are fixedly connected to both ends of the lead screw nut. Impurities or residues on the lead screw nut are cleaned to ensure its normal operation.

[0010] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the end cap is made of wear-resistant material, which can effectively resist wear during long-term operation and extend its service life.

[0011] As a further limitation of this technical solution, symmetrical sealing grooves are provided at both ends of the lead screw nut, and symmetrical end caps are provided with positioning steps. Two sealing rings are respectively installed in the areas formed by the corresponding positioning steps and sealing grooves. The sealing rings are made of elastic material, have good sealing performance, and can effectively prevent external impurities from entering the interior of the lead screw nut.

[0012] As a further limitation of this technical solution, each of the symmetrical end caps is provided with a spring groove, and each of the symmetrical spring grooves is provided with a disc spring and a pressure ring. Each of the symmetrical disc springs is fixedly connected to a corresponding pressure ring, and each of the symmetrical disc springs contacts a corresponding end cap. Each of the symmetrical pressure rings contacts a corresponding sealing ring. The disc springs provide continuous elastic pressure, ensuring tight contact between the sealing ring and the end cap and the lead screw nut, further enhancing the sealing effect. The pressure rings, as supports for the disc springs, effectively disperse the pressure generated by the disc springs, preventing excessive local pressure from damaging the sealing rings.

[0013] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the end cap is fixedly connected to a set of positioning round blocks, and the set of positioning round blocks respectively match the round holes on the perforated plate.

[0014] As a further limitation of this technical solution, the ball screw is made of carbon fiber composite material, and the surface of the main ball screw is coated with a nano-hard alloy coating.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) The roller material of this utility model is improved by using carbon fiber composite material and a nano hard alloy coating is applied to the surface of the lead screw to reduce inertia and improve wear resistance. It is 30% lighter and its service life is doubled.

[0017] (2) This utility model uses a disc spring and a sealing ring to ensure tight contact between the sealing ring and the end cap and the lead screw nut, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect. The pressure ring, as a support for the disc spring, effectively disperses the pressure generated by the disc spring and avoids damage to the sealing ring due to excessive local pressure.
