Detailed Description
In order to make the technical means, creation features, achievement purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand and understand, the present invention is further explained by combining with the specific drawings.
The retainer is one of main parts of the linear guide rail, and the retainer mainly acts on a separation rolling body in the linear guide rail; the rolling body is kept; guiding the rolling bodies to roll on the correct tracks; the rolling bodies are oriented, and the friction force is reduced. Therefore, the holder material is required to have high wear resistance, but high hardness is required to prevent "cohesion"; higher fatigue strength; the necessary elasticity and toughness; the friction loss is small, and the impact of the rolling body entering and exiting the load area can be alleviated; the pressure processing performance is relatively good; the material has enough rigidity and flexibility; the friction coefficient is small, the chemical stability is high, and the rust is not easy to occur under the external magnetic field.
Based on the function of the retainer in the linear guide rail, the scheme designs different circumferential clearances of the retainer.
In order to reduce the friction and impact of the pockets caused by the offset of the rolling elements in the non-uniform speed state, the pocket clearance not less than the minimum pocket clearance must be ensured, and the maximum pocket clearance which does not influence the stability of the cage must be considered. When the ball pocket is too small, the rolling body is locked, so that the roller and the raceway slide; the ball pocket is too large, the retainer is unstable, and for the two cases, the scheme is realized by designing the ball pocket into a circle which is concentric with and slightly larger than the excircle of the roller, wherein the change range of the gap in the horizontal direction is 0.05-0.50mm, and the gap is increased along with the increase of the diameter of the roller. In use, if the cage pocket clearance is too small, friction between the circumferential surface of the roller and the cage pocket is increased, and lubrication inside the guide rail is not smooth. The clearance is too large, the collision of the roller to the retainer is increased, and the adjacent roller can form a stretching or compressing effect on the retainer seriously to cause the early damage of the retainer, so that the design can ensure high positioning precision and ensure good rotation flexibility of the roller.
Aiming at the problems of the nylon retainer in the prior art, such as non-wear resistance, easy aging, fracture and the like, the material of the retainer in the utility model adopts the elastic steel structure, can be bent at will, has the self-recovery function, is not influenced by external bending, eliminates the mutual acting force and stress inside, and avoids the phenomenon that the rolling body is clamped due to the bending of the traditional retainer; meanwhile, the change of the size of the pocket gap cannot be influenced by the shrinkage of the conventional injection molding material, the fatigue resistance of the material is far higher than that of the conventional nylon retainer product, and the condition that the retainer is damaged in advance is prevented.
Based on the function and design scheme of the retainer in the linear guide rail, the retainer in the scheme is specifically described below by combining specific figures.
Referring to fig. 1, there is shown a top view of an example of a steel chain roller cage for a roller linear guide in this example. The steel chain type roller retainer for the roller linear guide rail is formed by pressing an integral chain type base plate 10, and the chain type base plate is made of an elastic steel plate, has a bending elastic self-recovery function and prolongs the service life of the retainer.
Furthermore, a plurality of identical holder units 20 are arranged on the chain-type base plate 10 at equal intervals, the holder units 20 are connected in series through the chain-type base plate 10 to form a flexible strip-shaped structure, each holder unit 20 is provided with a mounting groove 20-1 for placing a roller, two ends of the mounting groove are respectively provided with arc surfaces for clamping two ends of the roller 30, and the roller 30 can be kept in the mounting groove by the arrangement of the structure.
Referring to fig. 2 to 3, which are a side view and an enlarged view of a chain type roller cage made of steel for a roller linear guide in this example, and a cage unit, respectively, each cage unit 20 is formed of two cages 21, two individual cages 21 are oppositely disposed, and a mounting groove 20-1 for holding a roller 30 is formed between the two cages.
Referring to fig. 4, there is shown a left side view of an exemplary steel chain roller cage for a roller linear guide shown in fig. 1.
As can be seen in the figure, each single retainer 21 is composed of an upper supporting claw 21-a, a middle supporting claw 21-b and a lower supporting claw 21-c, wherein the middle supporting claw 21-b is concave opposite to the cambered surfaces of the upper supporting claw 21-a and the lower supporting claw 21-c; wherein, the middle supporting claw 21-b is arranged at the middle part, is concave upwards and is used for clamping the arc surface at the middle of the roller 30; the upper supporting claw 21-a and the lower supporting claw 21-c are respectively arranged at two ends of the middle supporting claw 21-b, are concave downwards and are used for clamping arc surfaces at two ends of the roller 30.
Further, the camber curvature of the upper supporting claw, the middle supporting claw and the lower supporting claw is set to be 0.57 times of the diameter of the roller. The arrangement can give consideration to the contact point stress, the lubricating performance and the anti-friction performance of the retainer, and the ratio of the radius of the pocket of the retainer to the circumferential diameter of the roller is controlled to be 0.56-0.58 through experiments.
The upper support jaw 21-a, the middle support jaw 21-b and the lower support jaw 21-c thus arranged have good elastic properties, can be bent and can be self-restored due to the curved arc structures of the upper support jaw 21-a, the middle support jaw 21-b and the lower support jaw 21-c.
The single holder 21 thus constructed is arranged such that two single holders 21 are oppositely arranged to form one holder unit 20, where the upper support claws 21-a, the middle support claws 21-b and the lower support claws 21-c of the two single holders 21 are bent in opposite directions.
Referring to fig. 3, which is an enlarged view showing the cage unit in this example, the clearance between the cage pockets and the cylindrical surface is also designed as follows: the play is large along the direction of movement of the column center and small in the vertical direction. The purposes of ensuring high positioning precision and good rotation flexibility are achieved. Preferably, the vertical play is reduced from the horizontal by 13-25 microns, and the clearance is reduced as the diameter of the rollers is reduced.
The steel chain type roller retainer for the roller linear guide rail, which is formed according to the scheme, has the function of bending elasticity self-recovery, is not influenced by external bending and impact, is suitable for the motion state of a bent linear alternating pulsating circulation linear guide rail, avoids the phenomenon that a rolling body is clamped by a traditional retainer due to bending after the treatment of eliminating the internal stress of materials, and simultaneously avoids the size change of the plastic retainer after the plastic retainer is used for a period of time due to shrinkage; in particular to a plastic retainer which solves the problems of non-wear resistance and early fatigue fracture of the prior plastic retainer.
When the steel chain type roller retainer for the roller linear guide rail is applied, the abrasion caused by sliding friction can be reduced, and particularly under high-speed operation, the collision, the frictional abrasion and the heating of the inner rolling body and the retainer are relieved under the action of centrifugal force and inertia force, so that the early fatigue damage of the retainer is caused.
