[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention discloses a multi-stage transmission device with a large telescoping ratio, comprising: a motor, a reduction unit, a support cylinder, a first guide cylinder, a second guide cylinder, a third guide cylinder, a first-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, a second-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, a third-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, and several support flanges. The motor transmits power to the first-stage lead screw assembly mechanism through a planetary reducer and a gear reduction mechanism, and then uses the transmission principle of a multi-stage combined transmission mechanism to achieve multi-stage transmission. Each stage of this combined transmission device consists of a ball screw, a ball spline, and a gear mechanism.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0041] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is:

[0042] 1) Multi-stage transmission is achieved by utilizing the transmission principle of a multi-stage combined transmission mechanism. Each stage of this combined transmission device consists of a ball screw, a ball spline, and a gear mechanism. The ball screw bears the load, the ball spline prevents rotation and transmits torque to the next stage, and the gear mechanism enables speed regulation and motion reversal.

[0043] 2) Each stage of transmission adopts a design method of two sets of transmission mechanisms symmetrically designed along the axis to ensure that the lead screw is subjected to uniform force during the transmission process and avoid bending load.

[0044] 3) The output speed of each stage is determined by the number of teeth of the ball spline nut gear of the previous stage and the end gear of the lead screw shaft of the next stage. If the output speed of each stage is required to be the same, the number of teeth of the ball spline nut gear of the previous stage and the number of teeth of the end gear of the lead screw shaft of the next stage are the same.

[0045] This invention discloses a multi-stage transmission device with a large telescoping ratio, comprising: a motor 9, a reduction unit, a support cylinder 4, a first guide cylinder 5, a second guide cylinder 6, a third guide cylinder 7, a first-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, a second-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, a third-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, and several support flanges; the reduction unit and the support cylinder 4 are both fixedly connected to the support flanges, and the support cylinder 4, the first guide cylinder 5, the second guide cylinder 6, and the third guide cylinder 7 are respectively fixedly connected to the support flanges; the first-stage lead screw assembly mechanism is disposed inside the support cylinder 4, one end of which is connected to the reduction unit and simultaneously positioned and connected to the support flange, and the other end is sequentially connected to the second-stage lead screw assembly mechanism and the third-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, and support flanges are provided between the first-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, the second-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, and the third-stage lead screw assembly mechanism; the first guide cylinder 5 is located outside the second-stage lead screw assembly mechanism, and the second guide cylinder 6 is located outside the third-stage lead screw assembly mechanism;

[0046] The first-stage, second-stage, and third-stage lead screw assembly mechanisms all include a ball screw for bearing the load, a ball spline for preventing rotation and transmitting torque to the next stage, and a gear mechanism for speed regulation and motion reversal.

[0047] like Figures 1-10As shown, the gearbox 2 is fastened to the first support flange 3 and the lower support lug 1 by screws; the support cylinder 4 is fastened to the first support flange 3 by screws; the first guide cylinder 5 is fastened to the second support flange 11 by screws; the second guide cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the third support flange 12 by screws; the third guide cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the fourth support flange 13 by screws; and the upper support lug 8 is fixedly connected to the third guide cylinder 7 by screws. The motor 9 transmits power to the motor gear 24 through the planetary reducer 10. The motor gear 24 transmits power to the intermediate large gear 25. The intermediate large gear 25 and the intermediate small gear 26 are coaxially fixedly connected. The intermediate small gear 26 transmits power to the main bearing large gear 27. The main bearing small gear 28 is coaxially fixedly connected to the main bearing large gear 27. The main bearing small gear 28 simultaneously transmits power to the end gear 30 of the first-stage ball screw I and the end gear 32 of the first-stage ball screw II. The end gear 30 of the first-stage ball screw I is locked to the first-stage ball screw I 15 by the ball screw end locking nut 51. The end gear 32 of the first-stage ball screw II is locked to the first-stage ball screw II 16 via the end lock nut 51. The end gear 30 of the first-stage ball screw I transmits power to the end gear 29 of the first-stage ball spline I. The end gear 32 of the first-stage ball screw II transmits power to the end gear 31 of the first-stage ball spline II. The end gear 29 of the first-stage ball spline I is locked to the first-stage ball spline I 14 via the end lock nut 49. The end gear 32 of the first-stage ball screw II is locked to the first-stage ball spline II 17 via the end lock nut 49. The first-stage ball screws I 15 and II 16 are positioned and connected to the first support flange 3 via ball screw support bearings I 52 and II 53. The first-stage ball spline I 14 and II 17 are positioned and connected to the first support flange 3 via two identical ball spline support bearings 50. Because the first-stage ball spline I 14 and first-stage ball spline II 17 rotate simultaneously in linear motion, the first-stage ball spline nut I gear 33 and the first-stage ball spline I end gear 29 rotate synchronously, and the first-stage ball spline nut II gear 37 and the first-stage ball spline II end gear 31 rotate synchronously. The second support flange reciprocates linearly under the combined action of the first-stage ball screw nut I 36 and the first-stage ball screw nut II 40. The first-stage ball spline I 14 and first-stage ball spline II 17 guide and prevent rotation during the linear reciprocating motion of the second support flange. The first-stage ball spline nut I gear 33 transmits power to the second-stage ball screw I end gear 34, driving the second-stage ball screw I 18 to rotate. The second-stage ball screw I end gear 34 transmits power to the second-stage ball spline I end gear 35, driving the second-stage ball spline I 19 to rotate.The first-stage ball spline nut II gear 37 transmits power to the second-stage ball screw shaft end gear II 38, driving the second-stage ball screw II 21 to rotate. The second-stage ball screw shaft end gear II 38 transmits power to the second-stage ball spline end gear II 39, driving the second-stage ball spline II 20 to rotate. Simultaneously with the rotation of the second-stage ball screws I 18 and II 21, the second-stage ball screw nuts I 41 and II 44, guided by the second-stage ball splines I 19 and II 20, drive the third support flange 12 in linear reciprocating motion. The second-stage ball spline nut gears I 142 and II 45 rotate while following the linear motion of the second-stage ball splines I 19 and II 20, respectively. The second-stage ball spline nut gear I 42 transmits power to the third-stage ball screw I 43, driving the third-stage ball screw I to rotate. The secondary ball spline nut gear II 45 transmits power to the tertiary ball screw II gear 46, driving the tertiary ball screw II to rotate. The tertiary ball screw nut I 47 and the tertiary ball screw nut II 48 drive the fourth support flange to reciprocate linearly.

[0048] The motor transmits power to the primary screw assembly mechanism via a planetary reducer 10 and a gear reduction mechanism. The primary screw assembly mechanism consists of two independent screw drive units, each consisting of a ball screw and a ball spline. The ball screw bears the axial load, and the ball spline prevents the screw nut from rotating with the screw shaft. During the movement of the ball screw, the screw nut supports the linear movement of the first support flange 3. Power is transmitted between the ball screw shaft and the ball spline shaft via gears of the same parameters, ensuring that the screw speed and the ball spline shaft speed are the same. The ball spline nut is fixedly connected to the primary flange. Because the ball spline can achieve both linear movement of the spline nut along the spline shaft and movement at the same speed as the ball spline shaft, when the motor moves, the ball spline nut can achieve both movement at the same speed as the screw shaft and linear movement along with the primary flange. The secondary screw assembly mechanism consists of two independent screws. A gear with the same parameters as the first-stage ball screw shaft is installed on the ball spline nut, and a gear with the same parameters is installed on the second-stage ball screw shaft. Through the meshing of the gears, the torque transmitted by the first-stage ball screw is transmitted to the second-stage ball screw through the ball spline nut. The second-stage ball screw drives the second-stage guide cylinder to move linearly through the ball screw nut.

[0049] Multi-stage transmission devices are primarily subjected to pressure and tension along the axis. Spherical plain bearings are mounted at both ends of the mechanism, with the bearing stress points all along the axis of the mechanism. If only one lead screw is designed for each stage, bending torque will occur because the lead screw cannot be positioned at the center of the transmission mechanism. To overcome this bending torque, two lead screws are designed for each stage, with their axes symmetrically arranged around the axis of the electric cylinder. The force on the multi-stage transmission mechanism is evenly distributed across the two lead screws, effectively avoiding bending torque.

[0050] A power-off brake is installed between the motor and the reducer. During operation, the motor transmits power to the reduction mechanism via the power-off brake, and the reduction mechanism transmits power to the multi-stage lead screw assembly, thus converting the motor's rotational motion into the linear reciprocating motion of the multi-stage lead screw pair. In the event of a power outage, the power-off brake self-locks, achieving self-locking of the multi-stage transmission mechanism.

[0051] In summary, current multi-stage transmission design technologies mostly employ multi-stage hollow screws. However, limitations in the hollow screw manufacturing and assembly processes result in high technical difficulty in product processing, complex assembly, and low yield. This invention utilizes ball screws, ball splines, and gear mechanisms to achieve combined transmission. The manufacturing processes for these components are mature, facilitating engineering applications. Because hollow screw assemblies are thin-walled structures, they suffer from low load-bearing capacity and poor rigidity. This invention employs two symmetrically distributed ball screw and ball spline combinations at each stage. Both the ball screws and ball splines are solid components, resulting in a combined transmission device with high load-bearing capacity and good rigidity within the same volume.

[0052] The above content is only for illustrating the technical concept of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed in this invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this invention.
