Background technique
In various linear transmission systems, often, convert rotation into linear transmission through the screw rod of ball screw device and cooperating of nut.In addition, ball through driving capable of circulation and ball nut and screw rod are arranged in pairs or groups each other again, reduce the frictional force between ball nut and the screw rod, make linear transmission system more smooth-going when operation.
Please with reference to shown in Figure 1, it is the ball screw device 2 of existing linear transmission system 1 and the schematic representation of cooling unit 3.Existing linear transmission system 1 comprises ball screw device 2 and cooling unit 3, and both are connected to each other.Ball screw device 2 comprises screw rod 21 and ball nut 22, and ball nut 22 is sheathed and be slidedly arranged on the screw rod 21.
Cooling unit 3 imports the cooling channel 223 in cooling liquid 31 to ball nut 22 wall thickness, and after cooling liquid 31 flows through cooling channel 223 and absorbs heat, is back to cooling unit 3 via cooling hole 222 again via the cooling hole 221 of ball nut 22.The heat that is produced when therefore, existing ball screw device 2 can move part ball nut 22 sheds.
Yet in existing ball screw device 2, cooling channel 223 is positioned at the wall thickness of ball nut 22, and therefore, cooling liquid 31 does not directly flow through between screw rod 21 and the ball nut 22.In other words, cooling liquid 31 produces heat when not having directly with ball nut 22 operations heating source contacts, and the heat that is produced during only indirectly with ball nut 22 operations sheds.
So; Also cause the radiating effect of ball screw device 2 not good; And make screw rod 21 can produce the problem (typical temperature rises 1 ℃, and screw rod 21 every 1m can extend 12 μ m) of thermal distortion, and cause the making tolerance of the processing system of using ball screw device 2 to increase because of temperature variation.
Therefore, how to design a kind of linear transmission system that can keep temperature stabilization between screw rod and ball nut, become one of important topic gradually.
