[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention are explained and described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, but the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, not all. Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] In the following description, terms such as "inside", "outside", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc. that indicate orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] Embodiment 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the preferred structure of the emergency stop self-locking circuit of the DC motor of this embodiment includes a primary screw rod 1 and a secondary screw rod 2, wherein the primary screw rod 1 is nested in the secondary screw rod 2 and the two maintain synchronous circumferential rotation and axial relative sliding, the primary screw rod 1 is provided with a primary nut 3, and a bearing 4 is connected between the secondary screw rod 2 and the primary nut 3 so that the two maintain axial relative fixation and circumferential relative rotation, the secondary screw rod 2 is a plastic screw rod, and an elastic buckle 5 is provided at the end of the secondary screw rod 2, and the bearing 4 is mounted on the secondary screw rod 2 and axially positioned by the elastic buckle 5.

[0035] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0036] The secondary screw rod 2 is a plastic screw rod. Compared with the aluminum screw rod or iron screw rod in the prior art, the plastic screw rod is cheap, has a low cost, is simple to process, and is simple and convenient to install, making the processing and assembly of the transmission screw rod more convenient. The bearing 4 is connected to the secondary screw rod 2 by deformation of the elastic buckle 5, making it more convenient to disassemble and assemble the bearing 4. Axial positioning by the elastic buckle 5 can prevent the bearing 4 from falling off.

[0037] Among them, the primary screw rod 1 is usually connected to a driving device, and the driving device drives the primary screw rod 1 to rotate. When the primary screw rod 1 rotates, it drives the secondary screw rod 2 to rotate synchronously, and at the same time drives the primary nut 3 to move along the axis. When the secondary nut 8 moves, it drives the secondary screw rod 2 to move synchronously through the bearing 4, so that the secondary screw rod 2 moves while rotating, so that the secondary screw rod 2 can be extended and retracted, and then drive the secondary sleeve 9 to extend and retract, so that the lifting column can be lifted and lowered.

[0038] In addition, the elastic buckle 5 made of plastic material has a stronger deformation ability, which is convenient for installing the bearing 4 and also makes it more convenient to process the elastic buckle 5 on the plastic screw rod.

[0039] At the same time, the primary screw rod 1 may also be a plastic screw rod, and the primary nut 3 and / or the secondary nut 8 may also be a plastic nut.

[0040] In order to prevent the elastic buckle 5 from deforming and causing the bearing 4 to loosen or fall off, in this embodiment, the transmission assembly preferably also includes a positioning ring 6 nested in the secondary screw rod 2, and the outer surface of the positioning ring 6 contacts the elastic buckle 5 to limit the deformation of the elastic buckle 5. The ring body of the positioning ring 6 presses the elastic buckle 5 so that the positioning ring 6 can limit the elastic buckle 5 from deforming and moving toward the axis of the secondary screw rod 2, so that the bearing 4 will not loosen or fall off relative to the secondary screw rod 2 due to the deformation of the elastic buckle 5, thereby making the installation of the bearing 4 more stable and firm. At the same time, the positioning ring 6 can also prevent the plastic screw rod itself from being deformed and damaged.

[0041] In order to further prevent the elastic buckle 5 from being deformed, in this embodiment, the secondary screw rod 2 is preferably provided with a plurality of elastic buckles 5 along the circumferential direction, and the positioning ring 6 is provided with a guide column 12 which is inserted between adjacent elastic buckles 5 after the bearing 4 is installed to limit the deformation of the elastic buckle 5. When the elastic buckle 5 is deformed, in addition to moving toward the axis of the secondary screw rod 2, the distance between two adjacent elastic buckles 5 will also be reduced. The guide column 12 is filled between two adjacent elastic buckles 5 to further prevent the elastic buckle 5 from being deformed. At the same time, by providing a plurality of elastic buckles 5, the movement of the bearing 4 can be limited in multiple directions along the circumference of the secondary screw rod 2 to prevent the bearing 4 from falling off.

[0042] In order to facilitate the installation and fixation of the positioning ring 6, the positioning ring 6 is preferably provided with a buckle 13 which is clamped with the secondary screw rod 2 in this embodiment. The positioning ring 6 can be installed on the secondary screw rod 2 through the buckle 13, which facilitates the installation of the positioning ring 6. A slot can be provided on the elastic buckle 5, and the buckle 13 can be positioned relative to the secondary screw rod 2 by being clamped in the slot.

[0043] In order to enable the bearing 4 to be axially positioned, in this embodiment, the secondary screw rod 2 is preferably provided with a shoulder, and the two sides of the bearing 4 are limited by the elastic buckle 5 and the shoulder respectively, so that the bearing 4 can be axially positioned under the limiting action of the elastic buckle 5 and the shoulder.

[0044] In order to enable the bearing 4 to be axially positioned relative to the primary nut 3, in this embodiment, a nut buckle 14 is preferably provided at the end of the primary nut 3, and the bearing 4 includes an outer ring and an inner ring, the inner ring is sleeved on the secondary screw 2 and is axially positioned by the elastic buckle 5, and the outer ring is located in the primary nut 3 and is axially positioned by the nut buckle 14. By providing the nut buckle 14, it can be made more convenient to install the bearing 4 on the primary nut 3.

[0045] In order to prevent the deformation of the nut buckle 14 and cause the bearing 4 to loosen or fall off, in this embodiment, the outer sleeve of the first-level nut 3 is preferably provided with a first-level sleeve 7 for limiting the deformation of the nut buckle 14 after the bearing 4 is installed. The first-level sleeve 7 is used for limiting the nut buckle 14 to prevent the nut buckle 14 from moving outward and deforming, thereby preventing the bearing 4 from loosening or falling off. At the same time, the inner ring of the bearing 4 limits the deformation of the elastic buckle 5 through the positioning ring 6 and the guide column 12, and the outer ring of the bearing 4 limits the deformation of the nut buckle 14 through the first-level sleeve 7, so that the bearing 4 is more stable and firm when positioned, and the disassembly and assembly of the bearing 4 is also more convenient.

[0046] In order to make the secondary screw rod 2 more stable, in this embodiment, the secondary screw rod 2 is preferably threadedly matched with a secondary nut 8 and connected to a secondary sleeve 9 through the secondary nut 8. An elastic sliding ring 10 is provided between the secondary screw rod 2 and the secondary sleeve 9 to prevent the secondary screw rod 2 from shaking. The elastic sliding ring 10 and the secondary screw rod 2 maintain axial relative positioning and circumferential relative rotation, and maintain circumferential relative positioning with the secondary sleeve 9 and axial relative sliding. The elastic sliding ring 10 can prevent the secondary screw rod 2 from shaking, making the secondary screw rod 2 more stable. The elastic sliding ring 10 includes a positioning ring and an elastic claw. Through the cooperation of the positioning ring and the elastic claw, the elastic sliding ring 10 can both limit the shaking of the secondary screw rod 2 and ensure that the elastic sliding ring 10 will not affect the movement of the secondary screw rod 2 and the secondary sleeve 9.

[0047] In order to enable the secondary screw rod 2 to rotate synchronously circumferentially and slide axially relative to the primary screw rod 1, in this embodiment, the primary screw rod 1 is preferably provided with a spline 11, and the spline 11 and the primary screw rod 1 are detachably connected or are an integral structure, the spline 11 is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the secondary screw rod 2 is provided with a positioning groove engaged with the positioning protrusion, and the positioning groove extends along the axial direction of the secondary screw rod 2. The secondary screw rod 2 rotates synchronously circumferentially and slides axially relative to the primary screw rod 1 by engaging the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion. The engagement of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove of the spline 11 makes the secondary screw rod 2 rotate synchronously circumferentially and slide axially relative to the primary screw rod 1. When the spline 11 and the primary screw rod 1 are an integral structure, the processing and installation of the spline 11 can be more convenient.

[0048] Embodiment 2:

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the secondary screw rod 2 is provided with a plurality of elastic buckles 5 along the circumferential direction, and the transmission assembly further comprises a positioning column which is inserted between adjacent elastic buckles 5 after the bearing 4 is installed to limit the deformation of the elastic buckles 5. With this structure, the deformation of the elastic buckles 5 can be limited only by the positioning column, and this embodiment can also achieve the technical effect described in the first embodiment.

[0050] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments.
