Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a linear reciprocating mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Linear reciprocating mechanisms are widely used in production and daily life, and their structural forms are diverse, basically meeting various application requirements. However, in practical use, each type of linear reciprocating mechanism has its own shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that to achieve reciprocating motion over a distance of more than two meters, the mechanical structure would need to be very large, or advanced control systems such as stepper motors would need to be used. However, this results in a significant increase in mechanical and control costs under the same load. Therefore, the market urgently needs a mechanical mechanism that is compact, inexpensive, and can meet the requirements of long-distance reciprocating motion. A linear reciprocating mechanism has been designed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a compact and low-cost linear reciprocating mechanism to solve the problem of limited stroke in existing linear reciprocating mechanisms.
[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a linear reciprocating mechanism, comprising a gear shaft 1, a synchronous belt pulley 1, a gear shaft 2, a gear shaft 3, a gear shaft 4, a synchronous belt pulley 2, a base plate, a cam shaft, a tension spring, a cam, a synchronous belt 1, a synchronous belt pulley 3, a synchronous belt pulley 4, a synchronous belt pulley 5, a synchronous belt 2, a V-shaped pulley, a guide rail slider, a guide rail, an internal gear support, a reduction motor, a spring shaft 1, a spring shaft 2, an external gear support, a gear shaft 5, a gear shaft 6, a gear shaft 7, a stop block, a synchronous belt 3, a driven shaft, a synchronous belt pulley 6, a driven support, a sliding plate, and gears 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
[0005] Furthermore, the external gear bracket, driven bracket, and stop block are fixed to the base plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the two ends of the camshaft are respectively mounted on the external gear bracket and the base plate, and the cam and the timing pulley three are fixed on the camshaft; the geared motor is fixed on the external gear bracket, the timing pulley four is fixed on the lower output shaft of the geared motor, and the timing pulley five is fixed on the side output shaft of the geared motor; the guide rail is fixed on the external gear bracket, and the guide rail slider is mounted on the guide rail.
[0007] Furthermore, gear shafts five, six, and seven are respectively mounted on the external gear bracket. Synchronous pulley two and gear two are fixed to gear shaft five, gear four is fixed to gear shaft six, and synchronous pulley one and gear six are fixed to gear shaft seven. Spring shaft one is fixed to the external gear bracket, with one end of the tension spring mounted on spring shaft one and the other end mounted on spring shaft two. The driven shaft is mounted on the driven bracket, and synchronous pulley six is fixed to the driven shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, the internal gear bracket is fixed to the guide rail slider. The V-shaped wheel is fixed to the internal gear bracket, and its wheel is always tangent to the cam, so that the entire internal gear bracket can reciprocate along the shape of the cam; the second spring shaft is fixed to the internal gear bracket, and its two ends pass through the waist-shaped hole on the external gear bracket, so that the V-shaped wheel on the internal gear bracket can always keep in contact with the cam.
[0009] Furthermore, gear shaft one, gear shaft two, gear shaft three, and gear shaft four are respectively mounted on the internal gear bracket. Gear seven is fixed to gear shaft one; gear five is fixed to gear shaft two; gear three is fixed to gear shaft three; and gear one is fixed to gear shaft four.
[0010] Furthermore, synchronous pulleys three and four are driven by synchronous belt one, synchronous pulleys two and five are driven by synchronous belt two, and synchronous pulleys one and six are driven by synchronous belt three.
[0011] Furthermore, the slide is fixed to the timing belt three and moves as the timing belt three moves.
[0012] Furthermore, when gear one meshes with gear two, gear six also meshes with gear seven. At this time, the output direction of synchronous pulley one is opposite to that of the geared motor. When gear one does not mesh with gear two or gear four, gear six does not mesh with any gear. At this time, synchronous pulley one does not rotate. When gear one meshes with gear four, gear six also meshes with gear three. At this time, the output direction of synchronous pulley one is the same as that of the geared motor.
[0013] Furthermore, by changing the number of teeth on gear five and gear seven, the skateboard can be precisely controlled to move forward and backward at different speeds.
[0014] Furthermore, by designing the cam shape, the ratio of the skateboard's forward time, backward time, and interval time can be changed to achieve precise control of the skateboard.
[0015] Furthermore, by changing the reduction ratio of synchronous pulleys three and four, as well as the reduction ratio of synchronous pulleys two and five, the mechanism can precisely control the speed and stroke of the slider using only one motor.
[0016] This invention modularizes the control mechanism, eliminating the need to design different mechanisms based on the travel distance, thus greatly improving design efficiency. It also offers the advantages of compact space and low cost while meeting the requirements for long-distance round-trip functionality. Attached Figure Description

[0023] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2As shown, the external gear bracket, driven bracket, and stop block are fixed to the base plate. The two ends of the camshaft are respectively mounted on the external gear bracket and the base plate; the cam and synchronous pulley three are fixed to the camshaft; the geared motor is fixed to the external gear bracket; synchronous pulley four is fixed to the lower output shaft of the geared motor; synchronous pulley five is fixed to the side output shaft of the geared motor; the guide rail is fixed to the external gear bracket, and the guide rail slider is mounted on the guide rail.

The internal gear bracket is fixed to the guide rail slider. The V-shaped wheel is fixed to the internal gear bracket, and its wheel is always tangent to the cam, allowing the entire internal gear bracket to reciprocate along the shape of the cam. Spring shaft two is fixed to the internal gear bracket, and its two ends pass through the oblong holes on the external gear bracket, ensuring that the V-shaped wheel on the internal gear bracket remains in contact with the cam. Gear shafts one, two, three, and four are respectively mounted on the internal gear bracket.
