Description
本發明與滾珠螺桿有關,特別是指一種內循環式滾珠螺桿。 The present invention relates to ball screws, in particular to an internal circulation ball screw.
對於內循環式滾珠螺桿來說,若應用在小導程的場合時,如圖1所示,迴流元件1之迴流槽2通常需要作跳牙設計,以避免因相鄰二迴流槽2之間的壁厚過薄而導致迴流元件1損壞失效。然而,具有跳牙設計的迴流元件1在配合滾珠3進行組裝時,組裝人員需要非常小心盡量讓滾珠3不能掉到迴流槽2以外的地方,即使如此,仍然會有一些滾珠3在組裝過程中跑到相鄰二迴流槽2之間的無效牙區4而形成無效珠3’,一旦無效珠3’卡在無效牙區4時便無法將其取出,如此將會造成後續運行時的阻力過大,甚至會對相關配件(例如螺桿軸或螺帽)造成磨損。換言之,傳統迴流元件1在配合滾珠3進行組裝時相當費時且不方便。
For internal circulation ball screws, if they are used in small-lead applications, as shown in Figure 1, the
日本特許第6444760號專利案所揭露的迴流元件在二個臂部分別具有一回收口和一排放口,其中的回收口用來回收潤滑油,而排放口則是用來排放潤滑油,兩者並非用來供滾珠通過,因此也沒有辦法解決上述關於在無效牙區發生卡珠的問題。 The return element disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 6444760 has a recovery port and a discharge port on two arms respectively. The recovery port is used to recover lubricating oil, and the discharge port is used to discharge lubricating oil. Both It is not used for balls to pass through, so there is no way to solve the above-mentioned problem of ball jamming in the ineffective tooth area.
本發明之主要目的在於提供一種內循環式滾珠螺桿,其能提升組裝效率。 The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an internal circulation ball screw that can improve assembly efficiency.
為了達成上述主要目的,本發明之內循環式滾珠螺桿包含一螺桿軸、一螺帽、一封閉件、一迴流元件,以及多個滾珠。該螺桿軸具有一外螺紋槽;該螺帽套設於該螺桿軸且能沿著該螺桿軸之軸向移動,該螺帽具有一內螺紋槽,該螺帽之該內螺紋槽與該螺桿軸之該外螺紋槽之間形成一負荷路徑,另外,該螺帽更具有一徑向連通該內螺紋槽之配件槽和一徑向連通該配件槽之排珠孔;該迴流元件設於該螺帽之該配件槽內,且該迴流元件之內側面具有一迴流槽,該迴流元件之該迴流槽銜接該螺帽之該內螺紋槽且與該螺桿軸之該外螺紋槽之間形成一非負荷路徑,該非負荷路徑銜接該負荷路徑而與該負荷路徑形成一供該等滾珠運行之循環路徑,另外,該迴流元件更具有一鄰接該迴流槽之排珠通道,該排珠通道貫穿該迴流元件之內外二側面,該排珠通道之一端銜接該螺帽之該內螺紋槽的一無效牙區,該排珠通道之另一端連通該螺帽之該排珠孔。 In order to achieve the above main purpose, the internal circulation ball screw of the present invention includes a screw shaft, a nut, a closing member, a return element, and a plurality of balls. The screw shaft has an external thread groove; the nut is sleeved on the screw shaft and can move along the axial direction of the screw shaft; the nut has an internal thread groove; the internal thread groove of the nut is in contact with the screw shaft. A load path is formed between the external thread grooves of the shaft. In addition, the nut has an accessory groove that is radially connected to the internal thread groove and a bead row hole that is radially connected to the accessory groove; the return element is located on the There is a return groove in the accessory groove of the nut, and there is a return groove on the inner surface of the return element. The return groove of the return element is connected with the internal thread groove of the nut and forms a gap with the external thread groove of the screw shaft. The non-load path is connected to the load path and forms a circulation path for the balls to run. In addition, the return element has a bead discharge channel adjacent to the return groove, and the bead discharge channel runs through the On the inner and outer sides of the return element, one end of the bead row channel is connected to an ineffective tooth area of the internal thread groove of the nut, and the other end of the bead row channel is connected to the bead row hole of the nut.
從上述可知,本發明之內循環式滾珠螺桿在組裝過程中允許跑到該迴流槽以外的無效珠從該排珠通道到達該排珠孔,再由該排珠孔排出至該螺帽外,等到全部滾珠組裝完畢之後,再將該封閉件封住該排珠孔,如此即可解決無效珠卡在該螺帽內部而產生阻力過大及對相關配件造成磨損的問題。 It can be seen from the above that during the assembly process of the internal circulation ball screw of the present invention, the ineffective beads that run out of the return groove are allowed to reach the bead discharge hole from the bead discharge channel, and then be discharged from the bead discharge hole to the outside of the nut. After all the balls are assembled, the sealing member is used to seal the row of ball holes. This can solve the problem of excessive resistance caused by invalid balls stuck inside the nut and wear of related accessories.
較佳地,該迴流元件具有二該排珠通道,該等排珠通道之延伸方向相反且相互錯開,如此可以允許該無效珠進入其中一該排珠通道內,有助於將該無效珠確實排出至該螺帽外。 Preferably, the return element has two bead row channels, and the extending directions of the bead row channels are opposite and staggered with each other. This allows the ineffective beads to enter one of the bead row channels, which helps to ensure that the ineffective beads are drain out of the nut.
較佳地,該排珠通道具有一入口和一出口,該入口形成於該迴流元件之內側面,該出口形成於該迴流元件之外側面且連通該螺帽之該排珠孔。藉此,該無效珠從該入口進入該排珠通道,再由該出口到達該排珠孔。 Preferably, the bead discharge channel has an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is formed on the inner side of the return element, and the outlet is formed on the outer side of the return element and communicates with the bead discharge hole of the nut. Thereby, the ineffective beads enter the bead row channel from the inlet, and then reach the bead row hole from the outlet.
較佳地,該迴流元件更具有一鄰接該入口之導引凸部,藉由該導引凸部導引該無效珠進入該排珠通道內。 Preferably, the return element has a guide protrusion adjacent to the inlet, and the ineffective beads are guided into the bead discharge channel by the guide protrusion.
較佳地,該螺帽之內周面具有一第一凹槽,該迴流元件之內側面具有一第二凹槽,該第一凹槽和該第二凹槽相互銜接而形成該排珠通道之一入口,該排珠通道更具有一出口,該出口形成於該迴流元件之外側面且連通該螺帽之該排珠孔。藉此,該無效珠從該入口進入該排珠通道,再由該出口到達該排珠孔。 Preferably, the nut has a first groove on its inner surface, and the return element has a second groove on its inner surface. The first groove and the second groove are connected with each other to form the bead discharge channel. An inlet, the bead discharge channel has an outlet, the outlet is formed on the outer side of the return element and communicates with the bead discharge hole of the nut. Thereby, the ineffective beads enter the bead row channel from the inlet, and then reach the bead row hole from the outlet.
較佳地,本發明之內循環式滾珠螺桿更包含一設於該螺帽之該排珠孔內的封閉件,用以封閉該排珠孔。 Preferably, the internal circulation ball screw of the present invention further includes a closing member disposed in the bead row hole of the nut for closing the bead row hole.

請參閱圖2及圖3,本發明第1實施例之內循環式滾珠螺桿10包含有一螺桿軸20、一螺帽30、一封閉件38、一迴流元件40,以及多個滾珠50。
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 , the internal circulation ball screw 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a
螺桿軸20之外周面具有一沿其軸向延伸之外螺紋槽22。
The outer peripheral surface of the
螺帽30套設於螺桿軸20且能沿著螺桿軸20之軸向移動。螺帽30之內周面具有一內螺紋槽32和一徑向連通內螺紋槽32之配件槽34,螺帽30之內螺紋槽32與螺桿軸20之外螺紋槽22之間形成一負荷路徑52(如圖4所示)。此外,螺帽30還具有一貫穿內外周面之排珠孔36,排珠孔36徑向連通配件槽34。
The
封閉件38可以用緊配、黏合或其他方式安裝於螺帽30之排珠孔36內,用以封閉排珠孔36。
The closing
迴流元件40設於螺帽30之配件槽34內。如圖5及圖6所示,迴流元件40之內側面41具有三間隔設置之迴流槽43,迴流元件40之該等迴流槽43銜接螺帽30之內螺紋槽32且與螺桿軸20之外螺紋槽22之間形成一銜接負荷路徑52之非負荷路徑54(如圖4所示),使得非負荷路徑54和負荷路徑52形成一供該等滾珠50運行之循環路徑56(如圖4所示)。此外,如圖5及圖6所示,迴流元件40在相鄰二迴流槽43之間具有二排珠通道44(實際上只要至少一個即可),各排珠通道44之一端銜接螺帽30之內螺紋槽32的無效牙區58(如圖7所示),另一端連通螺帽30之排珠孔36,該等排珠通道44之延伸方向相反且以前後位置相互錯開的
方式設置,各排珠通道44貫穿迴流元件40之內外二側面41、42,且各排珠通道44具有一入口45和一出口46,在本實施例中,入口45形成於迴流元件40之內側面41,出口46形成於迴流元件40之外側面42。再如圖5所示,迴流元件40之內側面具有四導引凸部47,該等導引凸部47以一對一的方式鄰接該等入口45。此處,如圖7所示,無效牙區58指的是滾珠50在螺帽30與螺桿軸20之間循環滾動時不會流經的區域,反之,有效牙區59指的是滾珠50在螺帽30與螺桿軸20之間循環滾動時會流經的區域。
The
由上述可知,在配合滾珠50進行組裝時,一旦有滾珠50跑到相鄰二迴流槽43之間的無效牙區58時,這些滾珠50即視為無效珠50’,如圖7及圖8所示,上述無效珠50’會受到導引凸部47的導引而從入口45進入排珠通道44內,接著從出口46抵達排珠孔36,最後再由排珠孔36直接排出至螺帽30外,如此即可解決無效珠50’卡在無效牙區58的問題,等到所有滾珠50都組裝完畢之後,最後再將封閉件38封住排珠孔36,以避免螺帽30外部的異物入侵。
It can be seen from the above that when assembling with the
另一方面,為了讓無效珠50’可以更順利的排出,如圖9所示,可以進一步將一中空管60經由出口46***排珠通道44內,並對排珠通道44進行吹氣或吸氣,藉由氣體的壓力將無效珠50’更快的排出至螺帽30外,以提升組裝效率。
On the other hand, in order to allow the invalid beads 50' to be discharged more smoothly, as shown in Figure 9, a
在此需要補充說明的是,在上述實施例中,排珠通道44之入口45形成於迴流元件40之內側面41,然而實際上,排珠通道44之入口45亦可形成於螺帽70和迴流元件80之間,如圖10所示,螺帽70之內周面具有一第一凹槽72,迴流元件80之內側面具有一第二凹槽82,第一凹槽
72和第二凹槽82相互銜接而形成排珠通道44之入口45,如此的結構設計也能讓無效珠50’從入口45進入排珠通道44內來達到排珠效果。
What needs to be supplemented here is that in the above embodiment, the
綜上所陳,本發明之內循環式滾珠螺桿10在組裝過程中允許跑到無效牙區58的無效珠50’從排珠通道44經由排珠孔36排出至螺帽30外,如此即可解決因無效珠50’卡在無效牙區58所產生之阻力過大及對相關配件造成磨損的問題,進而達到提升組裝效率的功效。
