Detailed description of the invention
The present invention as Figure 1-4, comprise fixed mount 1, bent axle 2, connecting rod 3, slide block 4 and core motor 5, described slide block 4 is slidably connected at the bottom of fixed mount 1 by moving sets, described bent axle 2 comprises crank throw 21 and is located at the axle journal of crank throw 21 both sides, wherein an axle journal is also provided with away from the side of described crank throw 21 outrigger shaft 22 be connected as a single entity with axle journal, axle journal described in two is by the top of bearing hinge connection at described fixed mount 1, and outrigger shaft 22 is positioned at outside fixed mount 1, described connecting rod 2 top by bearing hinge connection on crank throw 21, and connecting rod 3 bottom is hinged on slide block 4, slide block 4 is pumped under the drive of bent axle 2,
Described core motor 5 comprises the double stator 51 doing shell and the rotor 52 be located in stator 51, described rotor 52 empty set is on described outrigger shaft 22, connected by synchronous rotary assembly 6 between described rotor 52 and outrigger shaft 22, make rotor 52 and outrigger shaft 22 synchronous rotary; Described stator 51 is fixedly connected on the outside of fixed mount 1, and bent axle 2 is rotated under the driving of core motor 5.
Described rotor 52 away from one end of described fixed mount 1 and stator 51 hinged away from one end of described fixed mount 1.Make the rotation of rotor more stable.
Due to servo-pressing machine, operationally to have the slide block working time short, greatly stressed, thus cause outrigger shaft very easily to produce vibration under the impact of bent axle; Like this, will bring great additional load to servomotor, serious even trains off the rotor of servomotor, and servomotor is scrapped.
To this, this case adds synchronous rotary assembly between rotor and outrigger shaft, and carries out representativeness explanation with following two kinds of embodiments:
Embodiment one:
Described synchronous rotary assembly 6 is expansion sleeve.This case adds expansion sleeve between rotor and outrigger shaft, make while guarantee coupling stiffness, structural damping by expansion sleeve is absorbed by the vibration of outrigger shaft, thus effectively alleviate the impact of the position on rotor produced because of the vibration of outrigger shaft, effectively improve stability and the reliability of operation of equipment.
Embodiment two, as shown in figures 5-9:
Described synchronous rotary assembly 6 comprises inner sleeve 61, drive socket 62, outer sleeve 63, at least one group of disc spring 64, some viscous damping blocks 65 and some transmission steel balls 66; Described inner sleeve 61 is socketed on described outrigger shaft 22, and rotor 52 is socketed on described outer sleeve 63, and described drive socket 62 is located between described inner sleeve 61 and outer sleeve 63, and described inner sleeve 61, drive socket 62, outer sleeve 63 all concentric are arranged;
The outer wall of described inner sleeve 61 offers some strip grooves one, the inwall of described drive socket 62 offers some strip grooves two, described strip groove one is corresponding with strip groove 211 and width is equal, described viscous damping block 65 is contained between described strip groove one and strip groove two, makes to leave gap between the inwall of the outer wall of inner sleeve 61 and drive socket 62; Like this, by the setting of " viscous damping block " and " gap ", while making to be unlikely to produce excessive relative displacement guarantee transmission accuracy between inner sleeve and outer sleeve, by the viscous damping block be made up of viscous damping material, the mechanical energy (kinetic energy) that vibration produces is converted into heat energy (being the process of a power consumption, vibration damping), serves the effect of buffering, vibration damping.
The middle part of the inwall of described outer sleeve 63 is provided with annular protrusion 1, the two ends of the outer wall of described drive socket 62 are respectively equipped with annular protrusion 2 68 and annular protrusion 3 69, and described annular protrusion 3 69 is towards the end face of described annular protrusion 1 in external diameter progressively increases from annular protrusion 1 side inclined plane shape and annular protrusion 3 69 is evenly equipped with some ball-and-sockets three on the end face of described annular protrusion 1; Described annular protrusion 1 is towards the end face of described annular protrusion 3 69 in internal diameter progressively reduces from annular protrusion 3 69 side inclined plane shape and annular protrusion 1 is evenly equipped with some ball-and-sockets one on the end face of described annular protrusion 3 69, described ball-and-socket one and ball-and-socket three one_to_one corresponding, described transmission steel ball 66 is contained between described ball-and-socket one and ball-and-socket three; Disc spring 64 described at least one group is against between described annular protrusion 1 and the end face of annular protrusion 2 68, and transmission steel ball 66 is pressed between annular protrusion 1 and annular protrusion 3 69.Like this, once rotor loading is excessive, the annular protrusion one of outer sleeve inside will oppress disc spring, thus make ball-and-socket one and transmission steel ball " disengagement ", and then rotor is dallied, and provide effective overload protection to core motor; And when overload is eliminated, ball-and-socket one is fitted continuing under the compressing of disc spring with transmission steel ball, thus proceed effective transmission.And in prior art, there is no overload protection, when surprisingly there is overload in lathe, drift stops instantaneously owing to transshipping, in transmission system, all parts are rigid element, the elastic strain potential energy that very large kinetic energy all needs to be converted into system unit can be produced because transmission system is in High Rotation Speed state, 1, internal system part can produce very large stress, very easily damages; 2 or system relied on the link of frictional force transmission (as expansion sleeve) easily to produce relative sliding, " zero point " of lathe is caused to lose (the respective function relation between punch stroke and electric machine rotation angle, when drift is in bottom dead centre, the phase angle of corresponding motor is " zero point " of lathe).
For the problems referred to above 1, can effectively be solved by the overload protection function of synchronous rotary assembly; For the problems referred to above 2, because transmission steel balls some in this case are uniformly distributed (namely spacing is equal), therefore, when there is overload, the angle of relative rotation between inner sleeve with outer sleeve will be the integral multiple of a fixed value (angle of the line in the axle center of adjacent drive steel ball and drive socket), thus make system be easy to reorientate zero point after overload.
Described synchronous rotary assembly comprises disc spring 64 described in two groups of disc springs 64, two groups and is oppositely arranged.On the one hand, the two groups of disc springs be oppositely arranged provide enough large rigidity; On the other hand, also by promoting the mode of compression travel, space is left to the relative motion of outer sleeve and drive socket.
Described transmission steel ball 66 is in cylindric, and the side surface of described cylinder is in the arc surfaced outwards arched upward and the axle center of cylinder is parallel towards the end face of annular protrusion one with annular protrusion three.Thus bring significant lifting with this type of " special-shaped spherical shape " to the bearing capacity of synchronous rotary assembly.
Described fixed mount 1 is provided with annular protrusion towards the end face of described crank throw 21, described annular protrusion and described axle journal concentric, and described crank throw 21 offers arc groove on the end face of described annular protrusion, described arc groove and described annular protrusion adaptation.Like this, rotary inertia when bent axle runs effectively can be reduced, thus while reducing energy consumption further, the elastic deformation of the line shaft that further reduction brings the impact of line shaft because of bent axle.
