DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a technique for reducing the resonance of a feed screw caused by the fact that the critical speed of the feed screw is in a low rotation speed range when the distance between supports of the feed screw is long. In order to avoid this, the present invention relates to a feed screw support device for supporting an intermediate portion of a feed screw shaft.

It is dangerous that the vibration caused by the rotation of the screw shaft of the feed screw resonates with the natural frequency of the screw shaft. This critical speed is inversely proportional to the square of the support span of the screw shaft. When the table stroke is long, such as in an NC-controlled surface grinder, the screw shaft becomes long and the supporting span of the screw shaft becomes long, so that the critical speed becomes low. As the feed speed increases, the number of revolutions of the feed screw increases, and it may be necessary to use it in a critical speed range.In such a case, an intermediate support is provided to shorten the support span, and the natural frequency of the screw shaft is increased. Means for increasing the pressure are known.

When the screw shaft 1 is rotated in a predetermined direction by being driven by the rotation drive device M, the nut 2 moves leftward in FIG.
Along with this, the machine table 8 moves smoothly while being guided on both sides by the linear guide device. At this time,
When distance between supporting points L of the screw shaft 1 is long, the value of the critical speed u is inversely proportional to the value of L 2 is small, the screw shaft 1 is likely to resonate relatively low speed. However, intermediate support 20A, 20B
The distance between fulcrums (support span) is the maximum value
L / 2 is obtained, and as a result, the critical speed is greatly increased to four times u, and resonance is difficult.

From this state, the machine table 8 moves to the left, and accordingly the nut 2 moves to the left while the intermediate supports 20A, 20A move through the rope 24 of the pulley device 22 (not shown in FIG. 2) and the moving pulley 23B.
Pull B. Due to the action of the moving pulley, the intermediate supports 20A and 20B also move at a rate of 1/2 of the moving amount of the nut 2. Thus, when the nut 2 reaches the point P to L / 4 moves from the right end, the support span a between the left end of the bearing 5 and the intermediate support 20A becomes a = 3 / 8L, L / 2 in the case of the conventional It is even shorter (FIG. 2 (b)). Further when the nut 2 reaches the two points P moves to the L / 4 leftward, intermediate supports 20A is L / 8
And proceeding to the left, is the positioning of the P 3-point, support span a
Is reduced to a = L / 4 (FIG. 2 (c)). When it reaches the P 3 points further nut 2 now moves to the L / 4 leftward, and further proceeds to L / 8 leftward intermediate supports 20A, P 3
Becomes an intermediate position to P 4-point, support span a is reduced to a = L / 8 (FIG. 2 (d)). Still further when the nut 2 reaches the left end of the P 4 points go to L / 4 leftward, intermediate supports 20
A is also proceeding further to the left by L / 8, which is the position of the leftmost P 4 points. At this time, the support span a becomes a = 0. On the other hand, the right side of the intermediate support 20B becomes two points P, support span d between the right end P 0 point is the longest L / 2 (FIG. 2 (e)).

Thus, the left support span a gradually decreases with the leftward movement of the nut 2 and becomes zero at the left end, while the right support span d sequentially increases with the leftward movement of the nut 2. , And the maximum is L / 2.

When the nut 2 reaches the left end of the screw shaft 1 and abuts on the intermediate support 20A on the left side, a limit switch (not shown) is operated to stop the rotation drive device M, and at the same time the rotation of the screw shaft 1 is stopped and the mechanical table is stopped. It goes without saying that the intermediate supports 20A and 20B of the eighth unit are also stopped, thereby ensuring safety.

The feed of the machine table 8 and the intermediate supports 20A and 20B is performed not only by the ball nut 2 but also by the linear guide device 10 in particular.
Since the movement is performed through the operation of the slider 12 in the above, the movement is extremely smooth and has good followability even at a high speed, and the vibration of the screw shaft 1 in the vertical and horizontal directions is suppressed and the precision is high. In the linear guide device 10, the guide rail 11 and the slider
12 are combined with high rigidity and high precision through a number of balls rolling in ball rolling grooves provided opposite to both side surfaces, and the linear movement of the slider 12 is very light and Because it is stable.

As described above, according to the present invention, the nut is screwed, and both ends of the screw shaft are rotatably supported, and the intermediate support of the screw shaft is disposed movably in the screw axis direction. In the feed screw support device, the intermediate support is supported by a linear guide device, and a pulley device having a moving pulley is provided between the intermediate support, the machine base, and the nut.
In the linear guide device, the slider straddled on the guide rail is firmly restrained in the vertical and horizontal directions of the guide rail, but can move very lightly in the front and rear direction of the guide rail,
The effect that the intermediate support can support the upward vibration load and the followability of the high-speed movement is extremely improved is obtained.

In addition, since the intermediate support is interlocked with the nut via the pulley device, the effect is obtained that the support span of the screw shaft is sequentially reduced as the nut moves.
