Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead screw protection technology, specifically to a pre-tensioning device for lead screws. Background Technology

[0002] Ball screws are ideal products for converting rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa. They are the most commonly used transmission components in machine tools and precision machinery. Their main function is to convert rotary motion into linear motion, or torque into axial reciprocating force, while also possessing the characteristics of high precision, reversibility, and high efficiency. Due to their very low frictional resistance, ball screws are widely used in various industrial equipment and precision instruments.

[0003] In existing traditional lead screw drive structures, the lack of a crucial component—the butterfly spring washer—leads to significant stability defects during operation. When the lead screw is in continuous motion, the tightness between the washer and bearing at the connection point repeatedly fluctuates—sometimes loosening due to vibration, and other times localized overtightness due to uneven force. These frequent tightness variations exacerbate component wear and displacement over long operating cycles. Over time, the originally precise transmission accuracy of the lead screw gradually decreases, manifesting as increased positioning errors and reduced operational smoothness. The decrease in precision directly affects subsequent processing steps, potentially leading to quality issues such as workpiece dimensional deviations and insufficient surface finish. This not only increases the scrap rate but also requires additional time for rework and adjustments. For on-site workers, this instability brings numerous inconveniences: on the one hand, they need to frequently stop the machine to check the lead screw connection status, which increases maintenance workload and downtime, reducing overall production efficiency; on the other hand, due to the large fluctuations in processing precision, workers need to constantly monitor equipment operating parameters, increasing operational difficulty and mental stress, and may even cause safety hazards due to sudden precision deviations.

Both bearings 4 are sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 2.

[0026] Multiple butterfly-shaped spring pads 5 are fitted on the outer side of the crossbar 2. The butterfly-shaped spring pads 5 are fitted on one side of the bearing 4. A washer 6 is provided on one side of the frame 3. The washer 6 is provided on one side of the butterfly-shaped spring pads 5. An observation groove 7 is provided on the front side of the frame 3. A moving component is provided on the top of the frame 3. The moving component extends into the observation groove 7.

[0027] In this implementation scheme, the butterfly-shaped spring pad 5 can effectively increase the elasticity, playing a role in tensioning and rebounding, thus ensuring the accuracy of part processing. The setting of the moving component allows for easy observation of the status of the butterfly-shaped spring pad 5, enabling timely replacement.

[0028] To enable observation of the state of the butterfly-shaped spring pad 5, the device employs the following technical solution: The moving component includes a vertical plate 8, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 3. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate 8, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the rear of the connecting plate 9. A cylinder 10 is located on the rear of the vertical plate 8, penetrating the vertical plate 8 and connected to it via a bearing. A push rod 11 is located inside the cylinder 10, extending to the outside of the cylinder 10 and threadedly connected to it. A moving plate is fixedly connected to the front of the push rod 11, and a stop block 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate, matching the observation slot 7. An anti-slip ring 13 is fixedly fitted on the outer side of the cylinder 10. A sliding groove 14 is opened on the rear of the connecting plate 9, and a slider is embedded inside the sliding groove 14. The slider is slidably connected to the slide groove 14. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rear side of the slider. A pressure plate 15 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting rod. A retaining frame 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 15. The retaining frame 16 is located outside the anti-slip ring 13. The inner side of the retaining frame 16 is in contact with the outer side of the anti-slip ring 13. A telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 15. A spring 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 17. One end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 15. The other end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the vertical plate 8.

[0029] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, first, the bearing 4 is placed on the crossbar 2, and then the butterfly spring washer 5 is placed on the crossbar 2. Next, the lead screw body 1 is passed through the frame 3, so that the crossbar 2, the butterfly spring washer 5, and the bearing 4 enter the frame 3. Then, the washer 6 is installed. In this way, when the lead screw is working, the butterfly spring washer 5 can be tightened and rebounded, preventing the bearing 4 and the washer 6 from loosening. When it is necessary to observe the state of the butterfly spring washer 5, first pull the pressure plate 15 to lock the frame. 16 moves upward without contacting the anti-slip ring 13. At the same time, the pressure plate 15 moves, causing the connecting rod and slider to move. Simultaneously, the movement of the pressure plate 15 causes the telescopic rod 17 to retract and the spring 18 to compress. Then, the anti-slip ring 13 is rotated, causing the cylinder 10 to rotate. Since the push rod 11 is threadedly connected to the cylinder 10 and under the action of the limiting rod and the limiting block 19, the rotation of the cylinder 10 causes the push rod 11 to move and drive the moving plate to move. At the same time, the stop block 12 is moved out of the observation slot 7, making it convenient to observe the butterfly spring pad 5.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
