Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead screw and nut technology, and specifically to an angle compensation structure for lead screw and nut. Background Technology

[0002] "Angle compensation" in ball screw and nut systems is a technique used in double-nut preload structures of ball screws. It utilizes the phase difference (angular offset) between the starting points of the external threads of the two nuts to automatically generate the required axial preload during assembly and tightening, thereby eliminating axial backlash in the screw and nut pair. It is a key design element for achieving high-precision, high-rigidity ball screw drives. Its core lies in using precise angular design differences to achieve axial displacement, thus realizing preload. Therefore, an angle compensation structure for the screw and nut is needed to address the above situation. Utility Model Content

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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an angle compensation structure for a lead screw nut, including a main nut 1. A protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the main nut 1, and one side of the protrusion 11 is fixedly connected to one side of a connecting ring block 2. A first insert 7 is horizontally positioned between the protrusion 11 and the connecting ring block 2. A preload nut 3 is fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting ring block 2, and a second insert 701 is vertically positioned between the connecting ring block 2 and the preload nut 3. An opening 201, an internal threaded hole 202, and a through hole 203 are respectively opened on the side of the connecting ring block 2. 1. The internal threaded hole 202 and the through hole 203 are integrated. The opening 201, the internal threaded hole 202 and the through hole 203 are all inserted with hexagonal screws 4, springs 5 ​​and balls 6. One end of the hexagonal screw 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 5. At the same time, the other end of the spring 5 and one side of the through hole 203 are respectively in contact with the side of the ball 6 and roll in contact. The connecting ring block 2 has a placement hole 204 in the middle. The other side of the ball 6 passes through the inner side of the placement hole 204. A screw is inserted into the placement hole 204, and the side of the ball 6 is placed in the thread groove of the screw.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first insertion hole 101 is provided on both sides of the middle of the end face of the protrusion 11 in the horizontal direction, and a first insertion post 7 is inserted into the first insertion hole 101. At the same time, the other ends of the two first insertion posts 7 are inserted into the middle of the horizontal part of one side end face of the connecting ring block 2.

[0026] Furthermore, the end face of the protrusion 11 is in close contact with one end face of the connecting ring block 2, and the diameter of the protrusion 11 and the connecting ring block 2 are the same.

[0027] Furthermore, the other end face of the connecting ring block 2 is vertically connected to the upper and lower parts of the middle section, and the preload nut 3 is vertically provided with the upper and lower parts of the middle section of the side.

[0028] Furthermore, the second insertion post 701 is inserted into the second insertion hole 301, and the side of the preload nut 3 is tightly fitted with the other end face of the connecting ring block 2. At the same time, the preload nut 3 and the connecting ring block 2 have the same diameter.

[0029] A horizontal first insert 7 is inserted into the protrusion 11 of the main nut 1, so that the main nut 1 and the connecting ring block 2 are connected as one unit. Then, the vertical second insert 701 on the other side of the connecting ring block 2 is inserted into the second insertion hole 301 on the side of the preload nut 3, so that the connecting ring block 2 and the preload nut 3 are integrated. In this way, the main nut 1, the connecting ring block 2, and the preload nut 3 are integrated as one unit, and a lead screw is inserted inside this unit.

[0030] In this embodiment, the head of the internal hexagon screw 4 is placed inside the opening 201, and the internal hexagon screw 4 is provided with an external thread 401, while the external thread 401 engages with the internal thread hole 202.

[0031] Furthermore, both the spring 5 and the ball 6 are placed inside the through hole 203, and the side of the ball 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the through hole 203.

[0032] An internal hexagon screw 4, a spring 5, and a ball 6 are respectively provided in the opening 201, the internal threaded hole 202, and the through hole 203. After the internal hexagon screw 4 rotates, it presses the spring 5 to press the ball 6 into the threaded groove of the lead screw.

[0033] In this embodiment, a top cap 8 is provided in the middle of one side of the main nut 1.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] A protrusion 11 is provided on one side of the main nut 1, and a first insert 7 on the side of the connecting ring block 2 is inserted into a first insertion hole 101 in the horizontal direction at the center of the side of the protrusion 11. A second insert 701 in the vertical direction at the center of the other side of the connecting ring block 2 is inserted into a second insertion hole 301 on the side of the preload nut 3. Since the two first inserts 7 and the two second inserts 701 form a cross shape, the main nut 1, the connecting ring block 2, and the preload nut 3 remain integrated even when the lead screw is inserted. The ring block 2 has multiple openings 201, multiple internally threaded holes 202, and multiple through holes 203 on its side. At any given point, the openings 201, internally threaded holes 202, and through holes 203 are connected as a single unit, and their interiors are interconnected. A rotatable hexagonal socket screw 4 is inserted into the opening 201 and the internally threaded hole 202, with the external thread 401 of the hexagonal socket screw 4 engaging with the internally threaded hole 202. A spring 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the hexagonal socket screw 4, and the other end of the spring 5 presses against... The ball 6 is positioned on the side of the through hole 203, and its side extends beyond the through hole 203 into the placement hole 204. When the lead screw passes through the main nut 1, connecting ring 2, and preload nut 3, the ball 6 is pushed into the through hole 203. After the lead screw is in place, the internal hex screw 4 can be rotated to compress the spring 5, so that the side of the ball 6 is placed in the thread groove of the lead screw. At the same time, the multiple balls 6 provided on the side of the connecting ring 2 correspond to the thread groove. However, since there are multiple balls 6 on the side of the connecting ring 2, each ball 6 will not be fully in contact with the thread groove due to gravity. Then, the internal hex screw 4 is rotated to adjust the ball 6 to the most suitable position. Then, the side of the ball 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the thread groove, and the ball 6 forms a small angle with the bottom of the thread groove. In this way, the starting point of the thread is deliberately offset by a small angle (e.g., a fraction of a degree to a few degrees). This offset angle is called angle compensation.
