[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0021] Example 1: Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a nut-type gearless constant lead planetary roller screw, including a base plate 1, and a guide assembly 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1.

[0022] The base plate 1 serves as the foundation support platform for the entire device, ensuring structural stability.

[0023] The guide assembly 2 includes a guide post 201 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 by a bracket. The inner wall of the guide post 201 is provided with a first guide groove 202 and a second guide groove 203. A retainer 204 is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide post 201. Rollers 205 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the retainer 204. The rollers 205 are arranged in a staggered 90° pattern. A sliding post 206 is slidably connected to the outer side of the retainer 204. A third guide groove 207 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding post 206.

[0024] The guide post 201, as the core guiding structure, converts rotational motion into linear motion through the rolling engagement of the first guide groove 202 and the roller 205, while simultaneously constraining the movement trajectory of the cage 204. The cage 204 carries the roller 205 and guides its movement. The rollers 205 are arranged at 90° staggered intervals on the inner wall of the cage 204, evenly distributing the load and reducing friction. The sliding-rotational composite motion is achieved through the third guide groove 207 and the sliding post 206. The roller 205, as a rolling element, rolls within the first guide groove 202 and the third guide groove 207, replacing sliding friction with rolling friction, reducing motion resistance, and improving the service life of the rolling element. The second guide groove 203 is opened on the other side of the guide post 201 as a preparatory groove for assembling another set of cages 204 and rollers 205.

[0025] Example 2: This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0026] Specifically, the inner wall of the first guide groove 202 is in rolling connection with the outer side of the roller 205, and the outer side of the roller 205 is in rolling connection with the inner wall of the third guide groove 207.

[0027] The first guide groove 202 and the third guide groove 207 cooperate with each other to firmly hold the roller 205 in the inner wall of the first guide groove 202 and the third guide groove 207. Both of them are V-shaped grooves that cooperate with the roller 205 at a 90° angle to achieve rolling and improve the sliding efficiency of the sliding column 206.

[0028] Specifically, the inner wall of the base plate 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 3, and a protective plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1.

[0029] The first mounting hole 3 is used to fix the base plate 1 on the external equipment to ensure that the position of the entire device is fixed and stable. The base plate 1 is tightly connected to the object being installed by bolts or connectors passing through the first mounting hole 3. The preload of the bolts allows the base plate 1 to withstand various loads without loosening. The protective plate 4 is used to make direct contact with the base plate 1 when the planetary carrier 9 falls, so as to avoid the impact of the falling force on the planetary carrier 9.

[0030] Specifically, a drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 1 via a bracket. The output end of the drive motor 5 passes through the inner wall of the base plate 1 via a transmission shaft and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 6. The outer side of the threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective disc 4.

[0031] The drive motor 5 serves as the power source for the entire device, providing power for the rotation of the lead screw 6, thereby driving the movement of the entire device. The lead screw 6 serves as the core transmission component, converting the rotational motion of the drive motor 5 into linear motion or achieving force transmission and motion conversion through meshing with the driven column 14.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the threaded column 6 is rotatably connected to the limiting plate 7, and the bottom of the limiting plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide column 201.

[0033] The limiting plate 7 restricts axial movement to prevent the driven column 14, planetary carrier 9 and nut 15 from rotating excessively and going out of the end of the threaded column 6, thus ensuring their normal operation.

[0034] Specifically, a first bearing 8 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the screw 6, and a planetary carrier 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first bearing 8.

[0035] The first bearing 8 bears the radial load of the planetary carrier 9, ensuring its rotational stability. By utilizing the rolling motion of the rolling elements inside the bearing between the inner and outer rings, the sliding friction between the lead screw 6 and the planetary carrier 9 is transformed into rolling friction, thereby greatly reducing friction and improving transmission efficiency. At the same time, the bearing's structural design can withstand a certain radial force, ensuring that the planetary carrier 9 can still rotate normally under load. As an important component of the planetary transmission, the planetary carrier 9 provides mounting positions for the support column 10, support plate 11, second bearing 12, and driven column 14.

[0036] Example 3: This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0037] Specifically, the inner wall of the planetary carrier 9 is fixedly connected with support columns 10 and support plates 11, and there are six sets of support columns 10 and support plates 11 arranged at equal intervals.

[0038] The support column 10 and support plate 11 enhance the structural strength and stability of the planetary carrier 9, provide installation support for other components, and ensure that the planetary carrier 9 does not deform or get damaged during load and movement.

[0039] Specifically, a second bearing 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the planetary carrier 9, and a connecting column 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second bearing 12.

[0040] The second bearing 12 supports the connecting column 13, reduces the frictional resistance of the connecting column 13 during rotation, ensures the smooth rotation of the connecting column 13, and bears the radial load of the connecting column 13. Similar to the first bearing 8, it uses the rolling motion of the rolling elements between the inner and outer rings to transform the sliding friction between the connecting column 13 and the planetary carrier 9 into rolling friction, reducing frictional force, improving transmission efficiency, and bearing the radial force of the connecting column 13 to ensure its normal rotation. The connecting column 13 connects the second bearing 12 and the driven column 14, and connects the driven column 14 and the planetary carrier 9 through the second bearing 12. When the driven column 14 rotates around the screw 6, it can drive the planetary carrier 9 to rotate around the screw 6. It should be noted that the second bearing 12 and the first bearing 8 should be tapered rolling element bearings or angular contact ball bearings, both of which can bear the radial and axial loads of the planetary carrier 9 and the driven column 14, improving the overall operational stability.

[0041] Specifically, a driven post 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post 13, and the outer side of the driven post 14 is engaged with the outer side of the threaded post 6.

[0042] The driven pin 14, as the driven component of the planetary transmission, meshes with the lead pin 6. Driven by the lead pin 6, it rotates and revolves. At the same time, it transmits motion to the nut 15 through a threaded connection, achieving linear motion output. The threads on the outer surface of the driven pin 14 mesh with the threads of the lead pin 6. When the lead pin 6 rotates, the driven pin 14 begins to rotate under the action of friction and the threaded pair. Simultaneously, the driven pin 14 revolves around the lead pin 6, thus realizing a complex planetary transmission. The rotational motion of the driven pin 14 is transmitted to the nut 15 through the threaded connection, causing the nut 15 to produce linear motion.

[0043] Specifically, a nut 15 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the driven column 14, and a second mounting hole 16 is provided on the inner wall of the nut 15. The outer side of the nut 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 206 through a bracket.

[0044] As the output component of the device, the nut 15 converts the rotational motion of the driven column 14 into its own linear motion through a threaded connection with the driven column 14. The fixed connection with the sliding column 206 restricts the rotation of the nut 15. The guide component 2 assists in guiding the nut 15. The second mounting hole 16 is used to tightly connect the nut 15 to the working component through bolts or connectors, so that the linear motion of the nut 15 can drive the working component to move together, thereby completing a specific work task.

[0045] In use, the drive motor 5 is started to rotate, causing the lead screw 6 to rotate. When the lead screw 6 rotates, it drives the driven screw 14, which meshes with it, to rotate under the support of the planetary carrier 9. The driven screw 14 rotates on its own axis and revolves around the lead screw 6. It also drives the planetary carrier 9 to rotate on its own axis around the axis of the lead screw 6 through the first bearing 8. The driven screw 14 rises or falls around the axis of the lead screw 6 while rotating on its own axis and revolving around the axis. When the driven screw 14 rotates on its own axis and revolves around the axis, it drives the nut 15, which is threaded to it, to move. The sliding column 206 restricts the movement of the nut. The rotational motion of nut 15 causes nut 15 to only perform linear motion. Because sliding column 206 is slidably connected to cage 204, cage 204 is slidably connected to guide column 201, and nut 15 is fixedly connected to sliding column 206, when nut 15 moves, it will drive sliding column 206 to move accordingly. Since the roller 205 in cage 204 rolls on the inner wall of first guide groove 202 and third guide groove 207, the frictional resistance is reduced, which can assist the linear movement of nut 15 and provide guidance, ensuring the stability of its linear movement.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
