  • Patent number: 11835116
    Abstract: An inner circulation ball screw includes a screw shaft, a nut, and a return member. The nut is disposed on the screw shaft to form a load path with the screw shaft. The return member is disposed in an accessory slot of the nut to form a non-load path connected with the load path to form a circulation path for circulation of balls. The return member has a ball-discharging channel provided with one end connected with an ineffective thread section of the nut and the other end communicating with a ball-discharging hole of the nut. Therefore, the balls are allowed to move to the outside of the nut through the ball-discharging channel and the ball-discharging hole for preventing the balls from being stuck in the ineffective thread section, thereby solving the problems of high resistance and damaging to related accessories.

  • Patent number: 11668378
    Abstract: A linear transmission device includes a screw, a moving member, a return element, and a sensor. The moving member is set in the screw to form a load path therebetween. The return element is set in the moving member and has a return path connected to the load path. The return path and the load path constitute a circulating path for balls to run. The moving member has an internal thread with an ineffective thread section. The moving member has a receiving groove adjacent to the ineffective thread section. The sensor is embedded in the receiving groove of the moving member without affecting the operation of the balls. Thus, the linear transmission device of the present invention can solve the problem of the sensor protruding from the moving member, so that the configuration of the surrounding space and the stroke of the moving member will not be affected.

  • Patent number: 10612634
    Abstract: A dustproof device is provided for use with a ball screw which includes a screw rod and a nut mounted around the screw rod. The dustproof device includes an annular body and an elastic valve plate. The annular body is disposed inside the nut and penetrated by the screw rod and has an outer annular surface provided with a debris exit. The debris exit has one end in communication with a spiral passage formed between the screw rod and the nut. The elastic valve plate, which is provided at the opposite end of the debris exit of the annular body, can be pushed open by a fluid and thus opens the debris exit, allowing the debris generated by the ball screw to be discharged through the debris exit along with the fluid, thereby contributing to extending the service life of the ball screw.

  • Patent number: 10533902
    Abstract: A split detection device includes: a detection unit, which includes a detection casing and a sensor that is mounted inside the detection casing; a processing unit, which includes a processing casing and a processor that is mounted inside the processing casing; a connection unit, which is electrically connected between the sensor of the detection unit and the processor of the processing unit; and a transmission unit, which is electrically connected between the processor of the processing unit and an external device. By setting up the sensor and the processor inside different casings to be separate from each other, influence of the processor on the sensor can be reduced to thereby improve accuracy of detection.

  • Patent number: 10006487
    Abstract: A sensor assembly includes: a base with an installation space; an electrical connection member disposed on the base; a sensing unit including at least two physical sensors and one integrated circuit board; and a contact member disposed at one end of the base. The sensor assembly is a combination of the temperature sensor and the vibration sensor, the main physical parameters (including back clearance, collision, thermal displacement and lubrication) regarding the operation of the linear motion transmission device can be calculated based on the temperature signal and vibration signals, without requiring the installation of separate different sensors. Therefore, installation space is reduced. The sensor assembly is directly abutted against the linear motion transmission device to detect the change of various physical values in a most direct manner.
