Locking electric cylinder and locking and unlocking method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a locking electric cylinder and a locking and unlocking method thereof. The locking electric cylinder comprises a locking mechanism, a linear motion generating mechanism and a locking action generating mechanism adjacent to the linear motion generating mechanism. The locking mechanism reciprocates between the linear motion generating mechanism and the locking action generating mechanism under the driving of the power source; the locking mechanism converts rotary motion generated by the power source into linear reciprocating motion through a linear motion generating mechanism; the locking mechanism is driven by the power source to rotate at the locking action generating mechanism, and the locking action generating mechanism locks the rotating angle of the locking mechanism to achieve locking or unlocking action. Through the structural arrangement, the push rod can complete linear and rotary movement only by arranging one power source, stretching and retracting actions of the electric cylinder are completed through forward and reverse rotation of the power source, locking and unlocking operations of the electric cylinder are achieved through the locking head capable of rotating by 360 degrees, operation is easy, and the electric cylinder locking device is suitable for various working conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of locking devices, in particular to a locking electric cylinder and a locking and unlocking method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the higher and higher requirements of factory automation, electric cylinders came into being. The so-called electric cylinder (also known as electric actuator) is to use various motors (such as servo motors, stepping motors, electric motors) to drive various screws (such as sliding screws, ball screws) to rotate, and convert them into linear motion through nuts, and push The slide table makes a reciprocating linear motion like a cylinder along various guide rails (such as sliding guide rails, ball guide rails, and high-rigidity linear guide rails). [0003] The interface of the traditional electric cylinder is fixed and cannot be adjusted. It can only complete the linear extension or retraction of the push rod. The use is limited. In the case of various working cond...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The interface of the traditional electric cylinder is fixed and cannot be adjusted. It can only complete the linear extension or retraction of the push rod. The use is limited. In the case of various working conditions and space constraints, the traditional electric cylinder needs to be equipped with multiple powers. source, and the volume is too large to meet the requirements of use
