Abstract Transmission accuracy is one of the most important parameters in ball screw mechanism (BSM), however, very few researches can be found on the transmission accuracy modelling for BSM. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel model to predicate the transmission accuracy of BSM considering the manufacturing errors, installation errors, as well as the errors due to the contact deformation under different loading status. Meanwhile, the transmission accuracy of a typical BSM under five different preloading levels is measured on the basis of a transmission accuracy measuring system. The experimental results show that the difference is 21.6% under no preload condition, and is less than 11% under different preload conditions, largely owing to the uneven distribution of clearance can increase the travel deviation. Further analysis shows that the eccentricity error, which belongs to the installation error, is the most important factor, mainly generating the periodic fluctuation and amplitude of the transmission error. More importantly, the travel deviation increases with the increase of the preload, which indicates that the transmission accuracy of the BSM deteriorates when the load is increased.

Based on the theory of thermal transmission, this article provides a new method to acquire the friction coefficient in ball screw mechanism. While the screw is in thermal equilibrium, the heat absorption is equal to the heat dissipation. The heat absorption is able to be achieved by calculating the heat energy due to the friction at the contact area and the heat dissipation can be calculated by the law of thermodynamics. When the temperature rise is determined, the heat dissipation can be obtained and the friction coefficient in ball screw mechanism can be calculated further. In order to confirm the validity of this method, a measuring system is constructed to obtain the temperature rise of ball screws. The experimental results show that the temperature rise has the same tendency with the theoretical values depending on this model. Therefore, it can be exploited to predict the temperature rise of ball screws in the rated life cycle when the ball screw is under the condition of thermal equilibrium. Furthermore, this model can be used to evaluate the mechanical efficiency, which is an important parameter for the performance of the ball screw.

This paper studies the kinematics of the Ball Screw Mechanism (BSM) with the aim of developing a foundation for understanding the motion of the balls and their contact patterns with the contacting elements. It is shown that there is always slip between the balls and the nut or screw, and therefore, the no-slip condition assumed in the BSM literature is not attainable. The effect of contact deformation on the motion of the balls is also studied and is used to develop the pattern of the constant sliding lines of contact between the ball and the screw or the nut. The results have applications in efficiency analysis, design, wear evaluation and finite element modeling of the BSM.

With the rapid development of e-commerce, whether network intelligent recommendation can attract customers has become a measure of customer retention on online shopping platforms. In the literature about network intelligent recommendation, there are few studies that consider the difference preference of customers in different time periods. This paper proposes the dynamic network intelligent hybrid recommendation algorithm distinguishing time periods (DIHR), it is a integrated novel model combined with the DEMATEL and TOPSIS method to solved the problem of network intelligent recommendation considering time periods. The proposed method makes use of the DEMATEL method for evaluating the preference relationship of customers for indexes of merchandises, and adopt the TOPSIS method combined with intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN) for assessing and ranking the merchandises according to the indexes. We specifically introduce the calculation steps of the proposed method, and then calculate its application in the online shopping platform.

This paper focuses on the development of a 3D-printed threadless ball screw (TLBS) for the applications that require miniaturization, customization, and accuracy controllability. To enhance the efficiency of the TLBS, a novel model of the TLBS for analyzing the mechanical efficiency is presented to obtain the key affecting factors. From these factors, the design parameters for fabrication are determined. For miniaturization, a novel 3D-printed one-piece preloaded structure of light weight of 0.9 g is implemented as the TLBS nut part. Experimental results show that the measured mechanical efficiency of TLBS is close to that predicted by the theoretical model with a normalized root mean square error of 3.16%. In addition, the mechanical efficiency of the present TLBS (maximum efficiency close to 90%) is better than that of the lead screw and close to the ball screw. The unique characteristic of the present TLBS is that its total torque loss is a weak function of the load, a phenomenon not observed in either the ball screw or the lead screw. This characteristic is advantageous in enhancing the controllability of accuracy at different loads.

As an important parameter to distinguish noncircular gear from cylindrical gear, eccentricity is very important for the meshing characteristics and transmission error of noncircular gear. In order to study the transmission characteristics of the elliptic gear, a pair of elliptic gear in the reversing device of a new type of drum pumping was taken as the research object. Based on the analysis of the transmission pressure angle and instantaneous contact ratio of the elliptic gear, the eccentricity error was introduced into the analysis model of transmission error. The influences of the eccentricity on the transmission pressure angle, instantaneous contact ratio, and transmission error were analyzed, and the analysis accuracy is verified by the finite element method. The results show that the eccentricity has a great influence on the transmission pressure angle, instantaneous contact ratio, and transmission error of the elliptic gear, and the eccentricity error has a significant influence on the transmission error. In order to ensure the normal meshing condition of the elliptic gear, the eccentricity should be less than 0.7071, and the maximum instantaneous contact ratio is 1.809. The research results can provide some guidance for the following noncircular spur gear transmission test and transmission error research.
