Abstract

A nut screw conveying device includes a nut and a screw to convert rotational movement into translational movement. In the nut screw conveying device, a plurality of different threads is spirally formed on an inner circumferential surface of the nut, and the screw is provided with a plurality of rotating media to be respectively engaged with the different threads.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A nut screw conveying device comprising:
a nut having a plurality of threads spirally formed on an inner surface of the nut; and
a screw having a plurality of rotating media,
wherein
each rotating media of the plurality of the rotating media is engaged with a corresponding thread of the plurality of threads, coupling the nut with the screw,
each thread of the plurality of the threads is separated from an adjacent thread of the plurality of threads by a pitch,
one or more of the pitches separating the threads of the plurality of the threads is different from at least one other pitch separating the threads of the plurality of threads,
the nut or the screw is configured to be rotated, and the other of the nut or the screw is configured to translate based on a rotation of the nut or based on a rotation of the screw,
the nut has a first section and a second section, a first pitch separating threads of the plurality of the threads in the first section is less than a second pitch separating threads of the plurality of the threads in the second section, and
a difference between the first pitch and the second pitch is configured to cause an output stroke of the nut or the screw that is configured to translate to be decreased, and a torque of the nut or the screw that is configured to translate to be increased, based on a constant rotating speed of the other of the nut or the screw as the nut or the screw configured to translate moves from the second section to the first section, wherein the number of rotating media is equal to the number of threads formed on the inner circumference of the nut, and wherein each of the rotating media includes a bearing rotatably mounted on a rod, an axis of each of the rods extending at an angle from a central axis of the screw, the angle being less than 90 degrees.

2. The nut screw conveying device according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating media are disposed spaced a constant angle from each other.

3. The nut screw conveying device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of the threads of the nut are formed in a shape corresponding to the rotating media.
