| Sumario: | The heat generated by the ball screw feed system will produce thermal errors, which will cause the positioning accuracy to decrease. The thermal simulation modeling of the ball screw feed system is the basis for compensating thermal errors. The current thermal characteristic modeling method simplifies the reciprocating movement of the nut pair on the screw shaft to varying degrees, which leads to a decrease in simulation accuracy. In this paper, the nut is regarded as a moving heat source, and a novel method is adopted to make the moving process of the heat source closer to the actual nut movement process. The finite difference method is used to simulate the temperature field and thermal error of the ball screw feed system under different working conditions. Firstly, based on the heat transfer theory, the heat conduction differential equation of the feed system is established and discretized. The thermal error model of the ball screw feed system is established. Then, the relationship between nut heat source position and operating time is established to simulate nut reciprocating motion. Finally, the temperature and thermal error experiments of the ball screw feed system were carried out, and the temperature experiment results were compared with the simulation results of the finite difference method. The results show that the maximum simulation error of the average temperature in the operating interval is 11.4%, and the maximum simulation error of thermal error is 16.4%, which verifies the validity and correctness of the method. The thermal characteristic modeling method of the ball screw feed system proposed in this paper has a substantial application value for accurately obtaining the temperature field of the feed system. |
