Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the prevention of a partial load fluctuation even if a feed screw has curvature, by connecting a female screw member to a feed member via a bent link so formed as to be freely rotatable about the axial line of a feed direction. CONSTITUTION:When a feed screw 5 has been turned, a female screw member 6 moves along the feed screw 5 and drives a table 1 via a bent link 9. Therefore, the table 1 gives a linear motion along a straight guide track 2, thereby giving a suitable feed. Consequently, as the female screw member 6 moves along the feed screw 5, slight mis-alignment in parallelism between the straight guide track 2 and the feed screw 5, and the slight bend of the feed screw 5 are absorbed by the slight turning of primary and secondary links 11 and 12, thereby preventing a load fluctuation and the irregularity of feed precision.

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a linear feed mechanism used in various machine tools, precision measuring devices, etc. (Prior Art and Object of the Invention) Various machine tools. A linear feed mechanism in a precision measuring device or the like uses a rotation of a feed screw installed parallel to the linear guide track to move a member such as a table that is movable along a linear guide track. Therefore, a mechanism is widely used in which the feed screw is fed linearly via a female screw member screwed into the feed screw. However, it is impossible to reduce the parallelism error between the linear guide track and the feed screw to zero due to the processing accuracy and assembly accuracy of the parts, and it is also extremely difficult to make the feed screw completely linear. Therefore, in the conventional linear feed mechanism in which the female threaded member screwed into the feed screw 9 is simply fixed to the workpiece, the load may partially change during the feed operation, and due to this influence, the feed accuracy may be uneven. The disadvantage is that it becomes

In a mechanism for linearly feeding via female threaded members that are fitted together, the female threaded member and the fed member are connected via a bending link configured to be rotatable around an axis in the feeding direction, so that, for example, linear Even if the parallelism between the guide track 2 and the feed screw 5 is slightly off, or if the feed screw 5 is slightly curved, the load will partially change during the feed operation. There is a special effect that the feeding accuracy can be maintained uniformly in the feeding range. ζTherefore, the present invention has the effect that a highly accurate linear feed mechanism can be constructed at low cost.
