Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep the accuracy of a table from being infuenced by ascillation of a shaft caused by rotation of a male screw and an error in screw machining accuracy by reducing the radial rigidity of a feed screw device. CONSTITUTION:Through air supplied from an air feed groove 5 is about to be jetted from the whole surface of a female screw 2 formed by prous material, filling-up 6 material is applied to the surface 2b of the valey diameter portion and the surface 2e of the inside diameter portion so that the air is not jetted to produce no radial rigidity due to air jetting. The air jetted from the flank surface 2c of the female screw increases the pressure in a gap 7, and then flows into gas 8, 9. Though the pressure in the gaps 8, 9 is about to increase, the gaps 8, 9 are about 0.5-1mm., so that the pressure will not increase. Accordingly, even if radial rigidity is produced, it is a very small amount. Thus, changes in interval of the gaps 8, 9 caused by oscillation of a shaft of a male screw or an error in machining the form of the screw in case of rotating a male screw 1 will not have an effect upon the accuracy of a table.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a hydrostatic air feed screw mechanism used in a table feed mechanism of a machine tool, a measuring instrument, or the like.

A conventional static pressure screw of this type will be explained with reference to FIG. In the figure, ■ is a male screw that drives a female screw 2 made of a porous material, and both ends 2a of the female screw 2 are shown.

Here, the female thread flank surface 2c and the male thread flank surface 1a
the gap between the female screw root diameter surface 2d and the male screw outer diameter surface 1b, and the gap between the female screw root diameter surface 2e and the male screw root diameter surface 1c.
The gap between the two is approximately several micrometers, and the air is injected from the entire surface of the female thread. Therefore, the radial rigidity of the feed screw device increases due to the static pressure of the jetted air, and its magnitude reaches a value of several kFVItm. Therefore, in a static pressure screw with such a structure, if axial runout occurs in the male thread l due to rotation or there is a machining error in the thread shape of the male thread 1, the female thread 2 will also be displaced correspondingly. As a result, the table (not shown) that is fixed to the female screw 2 has the disadvantage of causing pitching and yawing.

The object of the present invention is to provide a static pressure screw that does not exert excessive force.

\ \ That is, in the embodiment of the present invention described later, in a feed screw device that converts rotational motion into linear motion, A large gap is provided between the thread root diameter surface and the female thread inner diameter surface, the thread angles of the male thread and the female thread are made small, and the female thread root diameter surface of the ventilation portion formed in the female screw is made large. By closing the vents near the inner diameter of the female thread and preventing fluid from ejecting from these areas, the radial rigidity of the feed screw device is reduced, and the axial runout caused by the rotation of the male thread and the machining accuracy are reduced. This static pressure screw is constructed so that even if there are errors, these do not affect the accuracy of the table.

In such a configuration, the air supplied from the spiral air supply groove 5 tries to be injected from the entire surface of the female thread 2, which is a porous material, but the air is injected from the entire surface of the female thread 2, which is a porous material. Since the blind 6 is provided on the surface 2e, no air is ejected, and the static pressure does not increase, so that no radial stiffness is generated by the air injection. Furthermore, the air injected from the female thread flank surface 2c increases the pressure in the gap 7 and then flows into the gaps 8 and 9, trying to increase the pressure in these gaps 8.9, but the air in the gap 8.9 0.5
Since it is large, about 1 m, the pressure hardly increases, and therefore even if radial stiffness occurs, its magnitude will be very small. On the other hand, gaps 8 and 9
If it is made large, a portion 2f that does not face the male threaded flank surface 1a will be created on the female flank surface 2c, and when air is injected through this portion 2f, radial rigidity will occur, but in this embodiment, the portion 2f is Since the blinds '6 are provided and no air injection is performed, no radial stiffness occurs. In this way, since no radial rigidity occurs in gaps 8 and 9, the radial rigidity of the static pressure screw is only the radial rigidity generated in gap 7, and the size in this case is
It is only the 5in2 (OA) component of the total stiffness at . Therefore, the radial rigidity can be significantly reduced compared to conventional static pressure screws. Furthermore, here, the thread angle θ
is set below 302' from the conventionally usual 60', so the radial stiffness component 5 in2 (OA) can be reduced from the conventional 25 inches for the total stiffness at 60 degrees to about 17 inches or less. can.

When rotating the male screw 1 with reduced radial rigidity, the male screw 1 and the female screw 2 may be rotated due to axial runout of the male screw and machining errors in the thread shape of the male screw 1. Even if the distance between the gaps 8 and 9 changes, the female screw 2 will hardly be displaced in the radial direction due to the extremely small radial rigidity mentioned above and the very large gaps 8 and 9. Therefore, the table (not shown) fixed to the female screw 2 will not cause pitching or yawing.

In addition, since the gaps 8 and 9 are set to be large, about 1 mm from 05■, the root diameter and inner diameter of the female screw and the outer diameter and root diameter of the male screw are processed so that the gap is several μm, as in the conventional method. In contrast, the radial dimension of the screw can be somewhat rough and can be easily processed.

In addition, in the above explanation, we have described the case where the female screw is made of a porous material and the specified areas on its surface are closed. However, when using an orifice-type or aperture-type ventilation part, It is clear that the same effect as described above can be achieved if it is installed only near the center of the screw flank surface.

Next, FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention in which the thread shape is rectangular. That is, the thread angle θ in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is set to zero. In this embodiment, all the pressure generated in the gap 7 has an axial component, so the radial rigidity is zero. Therefore, in this case, the accuracy of the male screw 1 does not affect the accuracy of the table (not shown) fixed to the female screw 2 at all.

As explained above, the present invention increases the radial gap between the male thread and the female thread, reduces the thread angle, and closes the root diameter surface and inner diameter surface of the female thread. Since the radial rigidity of the screw device is reduced, it has the advantage that axial runout due to the rotation of the male screw and errors in precision machining will not have a negative effect on the accuracy of the table fixed to the female screw. At the same time, there is an advantage that the radial direction machining of the screw can be made much more simply and easily than in the past.
