Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parts, specifically to a zero-backlash lead screw nut. Background Technology

[0002] In mechanical transmission systems, the lead screw and nut pair is a commonly used mechanism for converting rotary motion into linear motion. However, traditional lead screw and nut pairs generally suffer from backlash issues. These backlashes primarily originate from thread machining errors in the lead screw and nut, assembly errors, and wear after long-term use. The presence of backlash leads to decreased transmission accuracy, causes idle strokes during reverse motion, affects the overall performance of the equipment and the quality of machining, and traditional metal nuts require regular lubrication and maintenance, increasing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a zero-backlash lead screw nut to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a zero-backlash lead screw nut, comprising a first lead screw nut, a second lead screw nut provided on one side of the first lead screw nut, and one end of the first lead screw nut contacting one end of the second lead screw nut, a fixing corner block fixedly connected to the end of the first lead screw nut away from the second lead screw nut, a plurality of mounting and positioning holes being formed on the surface of the fixing corner block, a central support spring sleeved in the middle of the first lead screw nut, a nut washer connected to one side of the central support spring, and the nut washer sleeved on the other side of the first lead screw nut, one side of the nut washer contacting one end of the second lead screw nut.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the diameter of the first lead screw nut matches the diameter of the second lead screw nut, and the inner diameter of the nut washer matches the outer diameter of the first lead screw nut.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the first lead screw nut has a first threaded track inside, and the second lead screw nut has a second threaded track corresponding to the first threaded track inside. The first threaded track and the second threaded track facilitate the connection of the lead screw.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the central support spring includes a raw material layer, an anti-corrosion layer and a scratch-resistant film. The outer side of the raw material layer is coated with an anti-corrosion layer, and the outer side of the anti-corrosion layer is fixedly connected with a scratch-resistant film. The raw material layer is made of stainless steel, and the anti-corrosion layer is made of polyurethane coating.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first lead screw nut, the second lead screw nut, and the fixing corner block all include a base material layer, a reinforcing layer, an anti-corrosion surface layer, and a lubricating layer. The outer side of the base material layer is coated with a reinforcing layer, the outer side of the reinforcing layer is coated with an anti-corrosion surface layer, and the inner side of the base material layer is coated with a lubricating layer.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the substrate layer is made of polyethylene plastic, the reinforcing layer is made of ceramic coating, the anti-corrosion surface layer is made of epoxy resin, and the lubrication layer is made of lubricating oil film. The reinforcing layer and the anti-corrosion surface layer improve the surface's corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

A central support spring is fitted onto the first lead screw nut, and then a nut washer is fitted onto the first lead screw nut to compress the central support spring. The second lead screw nut is then threaded onto the lead screw. The rebound action of the central support spring creates elastic force on the fixed corner block and the nut washer, indirectly acting on the first and second lead screw nuts. This rebound ensures that both the first and second lead screw nuts fit snugly against the lead screw thread, eliminating any gap between the lead screw and the nut, resulting in more precise machining. Furthermore, the first and second lead screw nuts, as well as the fixed corner block, are all made of plastic, eliminating the need for lubrication and maintenance compared to metal nuts, thus saving costs.

A fixing corner block 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the first lead screw nut 1 away from the second lead screw nut 2. A plurality of mounting positioning holes 8 are opened on the surface of the fixing corner block 5. A central support spring 4 is sleeved in the middle of the first lead screw nut 1. A nut washer 3 is connected to one side of the central support spring 4, and the nut washer 3 is sleeved on the other side of the first lead screw nut 1. One side of the nut washer 3 is in contact with one end of the second lead screw nut 2.

[0020] See Figure 1-5 The diameter of the first lead screw nut 1 matches the diameter of the second lead screw nut 2, the inner diameter of the nut washer 3 matches the outer diameter of the first lead screw nut 1, the first lead screw nut 1 has a first thread 6 inside, the second lead screw nut 2 has a second thread 7 corresponding to the first thread 6 inside, the central support spring 4 includes a raw material layer 9, an anti-corrosion layer 10 and a scratch-resistant film 11, the outer side of the raw material layer 9 is coated with the anti-corrosion layer 10, and the outer side of the anti-corrosion layer 10 is fixedly connected with the scratch-resistant film 11, the raw material layer 9 is made of stainless steel, and the anti-corrosion layer 10 is made of polyurethane coating;

[0021] In this embodiment, a nut washer 3 and a central support spring 4 are clamped between the first lead screw nut 1 and the second lead screw nut 2. The nut washer 3 presses the central support spring 4 tightly. Under the rebound action of the central support spring 4, an elastic force can be formed on the fixed corner block 5 and the nut washer 3, thereby indirectly acting on the first lead screw nut 1 and the second lead screw nut 2. In turn, the rebound can make the first lead screw nut 1 and the second lead screw nut 2 fit against the thread of the lead screw, eliminating the gap between the lead screw and the nut.

[0022] See Figure 1-5 The first lead screw nut 1, the second lead screw nut 2, and the fixed corner block 5 all include a base layer 12, a reinforcing layer 13, an anti-corrosion surface layer 14, and a lubricating layer 15.

Finally, the second lead screw nut 2 is threaded onto the lead screw, such that one end of the second lead screw nut 2 is flush with one side of the nut washer 3. With close contact, the nut washer 3 presses the central support spring 4 tightly. Under the rebound action of the central support spring 4, it can form an elastic force on the fixed corner block 5 and the nut washer 3, thereby indirectly acting on the first lead screw nut 1 and the second lead screw nut 2. In turn, through the rebound, the first lead screw nut 1 and the second lead screw nut 2 can be made to fit against the thread of the lead screw, eliminating the gap between the lead screw and the nut, making the machining more precise.
