Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ball screw technology, specifically a ball screw circulating cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] A ball screw is a mechanical transmission device primarily used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa. It consists of a screw, a nut, and balls, and is characterized by its flexibility and smooth operation, thus finding wide application in machinery.

[0003] In actual use, when the ball screw is used for a long time, the friction between the balls and the screw will generate heat, causing the temperature of the ball screw to rise. This seriously affects the transmission accuracy of the ball screw and reduces its service life. Therefore, we propose a ball screw circulating cooling device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ball screw circulating cooling device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) The ball screw circulating cooling device is provided with an inlet channel, an outlet channel and a cooling channel in the nut seat, which can effectively cool the nut seat and the ball, thereby avoiding the adverse effects of friction and high temperature on the nut seat and the ball. The inlet channel, outlet channel and cooling channel are connected to the external circulating cooling device to rotate the coolant and achieve circulating cooling.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a ball screw circulating cooling device, including a screw 1, a nut seat 2 sleeved on the screw 1, a ball 7 installed between the nut seat 2 and the screw 1, the ball 7 circulates between the nut seat 2 and the screw 1, a sealing ring 12 is installed on the inner side of both ends of the connection between the nut seat 2 and the screw 1, and a retaining spring 13 is provided on the outer side of the sealing ring 12, the retaining spring 13 is engaged in the nut seat 2.

[0024] A heat exchange fin 3 is installed on the outside of the nut seat 2, and a fan 4 is fixed to the end of the heat exchange fin 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 3 and the nut seat 2 are connected by bolts to form a disassembly structure, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the heat exchanger 3 and the fan 4. The heat exchanger 3 and the fan 4 are symmetrically arranged in two sets on the left and right sides of the nut seat 2. The air inlet of the fan 4 faces the side of the heat exchanger 3, and the air outlet of the fan 4 faces the lead screw 1, so that the fan 4 can blow the cold air between the heat exchanger 3 to the lead screw 1, ensuring that the lead screw 1 receives a comprehensive air-cooling effect.

[0026] The nut seat 2 is equipped with a coolant inlet 5 and a coolant outlet 6. The coolant inlet 5 and the coolant outlet 6 are connected to an external circulating cooling device. The cooling circuit device includes a coolant tank, a hydraulic pump, an electrical control box, a vapor compression refrigeration system, and a liquid delivery pipe. The vapor compression refrigeration system includes a refrigeration compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and a throttle valve.

[0027] The coolant in the coolant tank is pumped by a hydraulic pump through the evaporator in the vapor compression refrigeration system. The coolant is cooled by the heat absorbed by the evaporator and then connected to the coolant inlet 5 via a delivery pipe. The coolant flows in the inlet channel 8, cooling channel 10, and outlet channel 9 and flows out from the coolant outlet 6. It is then sent back to the coolant tank through another delivery pipe, so that the coolant can be recycled, thereby achieving continuous cooling of the ball screw.

[0028] In a vapor compression refrigeration system, the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant in the evaporator, vaporizing into low-temperature, low-pressure vapor. This vapor is then drawn into the compressor, compressed into high-pressure, high-temperature vapor, and discharged into the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant releases heat to the cooling medium (water or air), condensing into a high-pressure liquid. This liquid is then throttled through a throttling valve to become low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant, which re-enters the evaporator to absorb heat from the coolant and vaporize, thus achieving the purpose of refrigerating the coolant in a cycle. In this way, the refrigerant completes one coolant refrigeration cycle in the system through four basic processes: evaporation, compression, condensation, and throttling.

[0029] The nut seat 2 has an inlet channel 8, an outlet channel 9 and a cooling channel 10. The coolant inlet 5 is connected to the inlet channel 8, the coolant outlet 6 is connected to the outlet channel 9, and the inlet channel 8 and the outlet channel 9 are connected to the cooling channel 10.

[0030] Furthermore, multiple sets of liquid inlet channel 8, liquid outlet channel 9 and cooling channel 10 are provided in the nut seat 2 to achieve sufficient cooling of the nut seat 2, and the cooling channel 10 surrounds the outside of the ball 7 to ensure normal cooling of the ball 7.

[0031] The nut seat 2 has an oil inlet on its lower side, and an oil inlet sealing plug 11 is installed inside the oil inlet.

[0032] Furthermore, the oil filling port sealing plug 11 is threadedly connected to the oil filling port on the nut seat 2, and the oil filling port is located between the balls 7, which facilitates the removal of the oil filling port sealing plug 11 to inject lubricating oil into the nut seat 2.

[0033] Specifically, when the ball screw is working, first remove the oil filling port sealing plug 11 on the nut seat 2, and inject lubricating oil between the screw 1 and the nut seat 2 through the oil filling port on the nut seat 2 to reduce the friction between the ball 7 and the screw 1 and the nut seat 2, thereby reducing the heat generated by friction.

[0034] When the ball screw starts working, the external circulating cooling device injects low-temperature coolant into the coolant inlet 5. The low-temperature coolant flows through the inlet channel 8, cooling channel 10 and outlet channel 9 in the nut seat 2, thereby cooling the nut seat 2 and the ball 7.

[0035] When the low-temperature coolant cools down the nut seat 2, the outer surface of the nut seat 2 is in a low-temperature state. The fan 4 on the outside of the nut seat 2 starts, the outer surface of the nut seat 2 is in a low-temperature state, and the heat exchange plate 3 in contact with the nut seat 2 is also in a low-temperature state. The fan 4 blows the low-temperature air between the heat exchange plate 3 toward the lead screw 1 to cool down the lead screw 1.

[0036] The above describes the cooling process of the ball screw during operation. Any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
