Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transmission protection and automatic adjustment of working stroke, specifically relating to an actuator that can autonomously deform in real time. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of robotics, actuators are essential structural components. They are commonly used in the manufacture of robot support arms or gripping arms. The most important function of an actuator is to transmit and execute the forces applied by the robot to external targets.
[0003] Transmission actuators are generally made of rigid structural components. The advantage of this design is that it ensures the actuator's strength and rigidity. However, this design also has a significant drawback: the length of the rigid structural components is often fixed. This requires the robot to have very high precision to ensure the actuator works accurately. If the robot's precision is insufficient, there is a high possibility that the actuator's working stroke will mismatch with the target stroke, which may damage the target object or prevent it from working precisely.
[0004] This requires an actuator that can adjust its working stroke, which can autonomously adjust the working stroke in real time. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the problems existing in the background technology, the present invention provides an actuator that can deform autonomously in real time. The actuator is designed and installed between the two ends of the extension and shortening, so that the working stroke can be automatically adjusted so that the working stroke is dynamically equal to or close to the target distance in real time.
[0006] This invention provides a method for real-time detection of whether the working stroke is appropriate. It can automatically adjust the working stroke in real time, specifically by automatically detecting whether the working stroke of the working end face is too long or too short, and automatically correcting it based on the deviation. It can be applied to the elongation and shortening of rigid or flexible robot actuators.
[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is:
[0008] The actuator comprises a housing, a shortening adjustment structure and an elongation adjustment structure located within the housing, and transmission rods and adjustment plates located at the front and rear ends of the housing, respectively. An adjustment cavity is provided in the rear part of the housing, with its rear end connected to the outside atmosphere via a through hole on the rear end face of the housing. Multiple cylindrical holes are provided in the front part of the housing, evenly spaced along the circumference of the housing. The front ends of the cylindrical holes extend through the front end face of the housing, and their rear ends connect to the adjustment cavity. Adjustment plates are installed sequentially from front to back within the adjustment cavity, and these plates can only move axially within the adjustment cavity and cannot rotate. A central cavity is provided in the middle part of the housing, with its rear end connected to the adjustment cavity. The shortening and elongation adjustment structures are installed in the central cavity, with their rear ends extending out of the central cavity and into the adjustment cavity, where they are threadedly connected to the adjustment plates. A transmission rod located at the front end of the housing is used to contact and output the applied pressure, and a portion of the transmission rod extends into the cylindrical holes and moves axially, thereby driving pressure changes in the cylindrical holes to be transmitted through the adjustment cavity to the shortening and elongation adjustment structures.
[0009] The transmission rod includes an impact disc, multiple transmission columns, and multiple isolation columns. The front end face of the impact disc is used to contact the external action surface and sense and receive the inclination of the external action surface. The front end of each transmission column is in contact with the rear end face of the impact disc. The rear end of each transmission column is axially movable and sealed into its corresponding cylindrical hole. An isolation column is axially movable and sealed in the middle of each cylindrical hole. The isolation column has a blind hole on its front end face facing forward as the inner cavity of the isolation column.
[0010] The outer circumferential surface of the adjusting plate is sealed to the cavity wall of the adjusting cavity, and the adjusting cavity is divided into a pressure cavity at the front end of the adjusting plate and a free cavity at the rear end of the adjusting plate by the adjusting plate. The outer circumferential surface of the isolation column is sealed to the wall of the cylindrical hole, and the cylindrical hole is divided into a compression cavity at the front and a transmission cavity at the rear by the isolation column. When the shortening adjustment structure / elongation adjustment structure is installed in the central cavity, it forms a relative seal with the rear cavity wall of the central cavity, so that the front cavity space of the central cavity forms a relatively independent motion cavity.
[0011] The shortening adjustment structure includes an adjustment shaft and a shortening assembly. The adjustment shaft is located on the central axis of the housing. One end of the adjustment shaft extends into the central cavity, and the other end of the adjustment shaft passes through the central cavity and extends into the adjustment cavity. It then passes through the inclined adjustment structure and the central hole of the adjustment plate and is threadedly connected. When the middle part of the adjustment shaft passes through the central cavity, it is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the central cavity, and is rotatably supported by a bearing, so that the front part of the central cavity forms a relatively closed motion cavity. The shortening assembly is installed inside the adjustment shaft in the motion cavity.
[0012] A radial fluid hole is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting shaft located in the pressure chamber between the tilting adjustment structure and the adjusting plate. A central fluid channel is provided in the center of the adjusting shaft. The rear end of the central fluid channel is connected to the pressure chamber through the fluid hole, and the front end is connected to the shortening component, which drives the shortening component to rotate the adjusting shaft, thereby causing the adjusting plate and the transmission rod to move to the rear end to achieve shortening.
[0013] The regulating shaft has a stepped shaft structure and is divided into five sections from front to rear: end section, clutch section, valve shaft section, long shaft section, and threaded section. The threaded section has external threads, which are threaded into the central hole of the regulating plate. The front part of the long shaft section is rotatably fitted into the rear end of the central cavity through a bearing. A central fluid channel is axially opened inside the long shaft section, and a fluid hole is opened at the rear end of the long shaft section near the threaded section. The valve shaft section is sealed in the central cavity. The valve shaft section has an inner cavity and flow channel that communicate with the front end of the central fluid channel. The clutch section has a strip groove near the rear end of the valve shaft section. The shortening component is installed in the inner cavity and flow channel of the valve shaft section and the strip groove of the clutch section.
[0014] The shortening assembly includes a large one-way valve, a small one-way valve, and a lever sleeve. The valve shaft section of the adjusting shaft has a small cavity and a large cavity sequentially formed along the axial direction from the front end to the rear end. The small cavity and the large cavity are coaxially connected, and the large cavity is connected to the central fluid channel. The clutch section of the adjusting shaft has a vertically penetrating strip groove in the middle of the rear end near the valve shaft section. A large one-way valve, allowing only forward passage, is installed within the space formed by the strip groove, the small cavity, and the large cavity. A small one-way valve, allowing only forward passage, is installed inside the large one-way valve. The clutch section has an outer flange near the end section. A lever sleeve is movably fitted on the clutch section between the outer flange and the strip groove. The rear stepped surface of the outer flange and the front end face of the lever sleeve form a coaxially rotating meshing connection when in close contact.
[0015] The large one-way valve includes a large T-shaped valve and a large spring. The small end of the large T-shaped valve is installed in the small cavity and the large cavity. The large end of the large T-shaped valve is installed in the strip-shaped groove and can only move axially along the strip-shaped groove. The very end of the small end of the large T-shaped valve is fixedly provided with an annular flange. A large spring is connected between the stepped surface between the small cavity and the large cavity and the annular flange. The large spring is also fitted outside the small end of the large T-shaped valve. The large T-shaped valve has a small valve cavity and an axial channel opened axially from the front end to the rear end in the center of the interior. The small valve cavity and the axial channel are connected. The axial channel and the central fluid channel are coaxially and directly connected. A small one-way valve is installed in the small valve cavity. A right-angle channel is provided in the large T-shaped valve on the front end face of the small valve cavity. One end of the right-angle channel is connected to the small valve cavity, and the other end is bent at a right angle and passes through the side wall of the large T-shaped valve.
[0016] The small one-way valve includes a small T-shaped valve and a small spring. The small end of the small T-shaped valve is installed in the axial channel, and the large end of the small T-shaped valve is installed in the small valve cavity and plugged to the connection between the front end face of the small valve cavity and the right-angle channel. A small spring is connected between the stepped surface between the large end and the small end of the small T-shaped valve and the rear end face of the small valve cavity. The small spring is also fitted outside the small end of the small T-shaped valve. A one-way valve cavity is provided inside the small end of the small T-shaped valve. A radial fluid hole is opened on the side wall of the small end of the small T-shaped valve near the large end. The rear end of the one-way valve cavity is coaxially and directly connected to the axial channel. The front end of the one-way valve cavity is connected to the small valve cavity through the fluid hole.
[0017] The aforementioned lever sleeve mainly consists of an annular portion and a lever fixedly connected to one side of the annular portion. The lever is magnetic. The annular portion is fitted onto the clutch section of the adjusting shaft. An arc-shaped lever space is provided on one side of the motion cavity surrounding the lever for the rotation of the lever sleeve and the swing of the lever. An arc-shaped shortening motion channel is provided on the other side of the motion cavity. An arc-shaped push rod is sealed in the middle of the shortening motion channel. The shortening motion channel is directly connected to the lever space at one end near the lever, and the other end is used to connect to the large cavity and the right-angle channel. Furthermore, two lever magnets are embedded inside the clutch sections on both sides of the shortening motion channel near the lever end for magnetically adsorbing the lever on the lever sleeve.
[0018] Meanwhile, a radial fluid channel and a transition fluid channel are opened inside the valve shaft section. The other end of the right-angle channel of the large T-shaped valve in the small cavity is connected to one end of the radial fluid channel. The rear end of the large cavity is connected to the middle of the transition fluid channel and the radial fluid channel. The other end of the radial fluid channel passes through the outer wall of the valve shaft section. An annular cavity is opened on the inner circumferential surface of the central cavity where the port of the radial fluid channel passes through the outer wall of the valve shaft section. The annular cavity is connected to the other end of the shortened connecting channel and the shortened moving channel opened inside the shell.
[0019] The elongation adjustment structure includes an adjustment shaft and an adjustment assembly. The adjustment shaft is located on the central axis of the housing. One end of the adjustment shaft extends into the central cavity, and the other end extends out of the central cavity into the adjustment cavity and then passes through the inclined adjustment structure and the central hole of the adjustment plate for threaded connection. The middle part of the adjustment shaft is sealed to the inner wall of the rear end of the central cavity when passing through it, and is rotatably supported by a bearing, so that the front part of the central cavity forms a relatively closed motion cavity. The adjustment assembly is installed at the front end of the adjustment shaft in the motion cavity. The isolation column is also provided with a connecting cavity and a connecting channel. The pressure of the cylindrical hole is transmitted to the motion cavity through the connecting cavity and the connecting channel, thereby driving the adjustment assembly to drive the adjustment shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the adjustment plate and the transmission rod to move towards the front end to achieve elongation.
[0020] The length adjustment assembly includes a ring sleeve, a shaped rod made of magnetic material, a ring magnet, a pull rod mechanism, and a stop. The ring sleeve is axially movable and rotatably fitted onto the end section. The ring magnet is fixedly fitted onto the end of the end section of the adjustment shaft. A radially upward-arranged shaped rod is fixedly arranged on the top circumference of the ring sleeve. A stop is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the motion cavity at the end of the end section of the adjustment shaft. The shaped rod is located on the side of the stop. A pull rod space is provided on the other side for the arrangement and movement of the pull rod mechanism. The pull rod mechanism is arranged inside the pull rod space. One end of the pull rod mechanism is movably inserted into the housing and connected to the cylindrical hole through a connecting cavity and a connecting channel. The side end face of the stop facing the pull rod mechanism and the pull rod space is set as a vertical plane. A square magnet is provided inside the stop for magnetically repelling the pull rod mechanism and magnetically attracting the shaped rod.
[0021] The diameter of the clutch section of the adjusting shaft is larger than the diameter of the end section. A stepped surface is formed between the end section and the clutch section of the adjusting shaft. The stepped surface and the rear end surface of the ring sleeve are provided with a clutch surface that engages with each other, so that the stepped surface and the rear end surface of the ring sleeve form a coaxial rotating meshing connection when they are in close contact with each other.
[0022] The pull rod mechanism includes a reciprocating rod, a magnet block, a first chuck, a second chuck, and a flat magnet. A magnet block for magnetically attracting the first chuck is fixedly installed at one end of the reciprocating rod. The first chuck is hinged to one end of the reciprocating rod via a horizontal pin, allowing the first chuck to swing and rotate up and down. A second chuck is hinged to one side of the first chuck via a vertical pin, forming a chuck clamping structure. The second chuck can swing and rotate horizontally left and right. A flat magnet for magnetic repulsion engagement with the square magnet is embedded inside the first chuck. A reset magnet for resetting the pull rod mechanism is embedded beside the housing into which the reciprocating rod of the pull rod mechanism extends.
[0023] The second jaw is hinged to the first jaw at its root, and one end of the second jaw is fixedly connected to a support lug near its root. The other end of the support lug is connected to the middle of the first jaw via a spring, so that under the action of the spring, the other end of the support lug abuts against the side of the first jaw, thereby keeping the second jaw close to the first jaw in a clamping posture under normal conditions. Under normal conditions, there is a clamping gap between the second jaw and the first jaw with a width smaller than the outer diameter of the irregular rod for clamping the irregular rod. The corner of the end of the first jaw near the second jaw is formed by beveling to form a wedge surface. The wedge surface is used to engage with and contact the irregular rod and drive the irregular rod to move backward. The root of the first jaw is hinged to the reciprocating rod. A local magnetic element or magnetic material is provided at the root of the first jaw near the magnet block. The magnetic element or magnetic material and the magnet block attract each other to provide the overall swinging and rotating restoring force of the first jaw and the second jaw.
[0024] The aforementioned tie rod space has an elongation movement channel on the side of the moving cavity wall away from the stop. The reciprocating rod seal of the tie rod mechanism is axially movable and inserted into one end of the elongation movement channel. The other end of the elongation movement channel is connected to the cylindrical hole through the connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column.
[0025] The connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column specifically include an elongated connecting cavity, an air hole, and an elongated connecting channel. The cylindrical hole wall at the isolation column is also provided with an annular elongated connecting cavity. The isolation column has an air hole on the inner wall of the isolation column, so that the inner cavity of the isolation column is connected to the elongated connecting cavity through the air hole. The elongated connecting cavity is connected to one end of the elongated connecting channel and the elongated movement channel opened inside the shell. The other end of the elongated movement channel is connected to the pull rod space.
[0026] The irregularly shaped rod mainly consists of a thick rod, a thin rod, and a positioning block. The thick rod and the thin rod are arranged coaxially at the top and bottom, respectively. The thick rod is used to cooperate with the pull rod mechanism and be driven to move. The lower end of the thin rod is fixed to the ring sleeve. A radially arranged positioning block is fixed between the bottom end of the thick rod and the thin rod. The positioning block is used to cooperate with the pull rod mechanism. In the pull rod mechanism, the second claw has a through groove machined near the root as a square empty slot. The square empty slot is used to cooperate with the positioning block of the irregularly shaped rod.
[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0028] This invention, through the ingenious design and coordination of mechanical structure, cavity, gas and fluid, can automatically shorten and lengthen the actuator when there is a deviation in the working stroke, thus achieving adaptive length adjustment correction.
[0029] In particular, all adjustment functions of this invention are automatically realized by the mechanical structure, without the need for manual intervention or external power source. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, a detailed description is provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0057] In practice, the working end face is usually uneven, not perpendicular to the axial direction, and usually inclined. The present invention can adaptively transmit pressure to the uneven and inclined end face through actuator 0.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the actuator 0 includes a housing 1, a shortening adjustment structure 3 and an extension adjustment structure 6 located within the housing 1, and transmission rods 4 and adjusting plates 5 located at the front and rear ends of the housing 1, respectively; as Figure 2 As shown, an adjustment cavity 101 is provided in the rear part of the housing 1. The rear end of the adjustment cavity 101 is connected to the outside atmosphere through a through hole on the rear end face of the housing 1. Multiple cylindrical holes 102 are provided in the front part of the housing 1. The multiple cylindrical holes 102 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the housing 1. The front end of the cylindrical holes 102 extends through the front end face of the housing 1, and the rear end of the cylindrical holes 102 is connected to the adjustment cavity 101. An adjustment plate 5 is installed in the adjustment cavity 101 from front to back. The adjustment plate 5 can only move axially within the adjustment cavity 101 and cannot rotate. In a specific implementation, a cylindrical boss can be fixedly provided at the rear end of the adjustment plate 5. The cylindrical boss of the adjustment plate 5 can be axially movably inserted into the through hole opened at the rear end of the housing 1, so that the adjustment plate 5 can be freely guided and moved along the axial direction of the housing 1, but cannot rotate. The housing 1 has a relatively independent central cavity 104 in the middle. The rear end of the central cavity 104 is connected to the adjustment cavity 101. The central cavity 104 is equipped with a shortening adjustment structure 3 and an elongation adjustment structure 6. The rear ends of the shortening adjustment structure 3 and the elongation adjustment structure 6 extend out of the central cavity 104 and into the adjustment cavity 101, and are connected to the adjustment plate 5 by threads.
[0059] The transmission rod 4 is located at the front end of the housing 1 to contact the output pressure, and a part of the transmission rod 4 extends into the cylindrical hole 102 and moves axially, thereby driving the pressure change in the cylindrical hole 102 to be transmitted to the shortening adjustment structure 3 and the lengthening adjustment structure 6 through the adjustment cavity 101. The rear end face of the housing 1 is used to receive the external pressure.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the transmission rod 4 includes at least an impact disc 401, multiple transmission columns 402, and multiple isolation columns 403; the impact disc 401 is made of magnetic material, and the front end face of the impact disc 401 is used to contact the external action surface and sense the inclination of the receiving external action surface.
[0061] The number of transmission posts 402, isolation posts 403, and cylindrical holes 102 are the same and correspond one-to-one. The front end of each transmission post 402 is in contact with the rear end face of the impact disc 401, and the rear end of each transmission post 402 is axially movable and sealed into its corresponding cylindrical hole 102.
[0062] An isolation post 403 is axially movable and sealed in the middle of each cylindrical hole 102. The isolation post 403 has a blind hole on its front end face facing forward as an inner cavity 407.
[0063] More specifically, the transmission rod 4 can also be equipped with a guide post, with the center of the rear end face of the impact disk 401 and the front end of the guide post being ball-jointed. The rear end of the guide post is axially movable and sealed into the guide hole; the impact disk 401 achieves axial guided movement through the guide post. Furthermore, a guide magnet can be embedded in the front end of each transmission post 402 for magnetic attraction to the impact disk 401, which is made of magnetic material. The guide magnet is used to magnetically attract the front end of the transmission post 402 to the impact disk 401.
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the outer circumferential surface of the adjusting plate 5 is sealed to the cavity wall of the adjusting cavity 101. The adjusting cavity 101 is divided into a pressure cavity S5 located at the front end of the adjusting plate 5 and a free cavity S6 located at the rear end of the adjusting plate 5 by the adjusting plate 5. The outer circumferential surface of the isolation column 403 is sealed to the wall of the cylindrical hole 102. The cylindrical hole 102 is divided into a compression cavity S1 at the front and a transmission cavity S2 at the rear by the isolation column 403. When the shortening adjusting structure 3 / extension adjusting structure 6 is installed in the central cavity 104, it forms a relative seal with the rear cavity wall of the central cavity 104, so that the front cavity space of the central cavity 104 forms a relatively independent and relatively closed motion cavity S3. The extension adjusting structure 6 is completely installed in the motion cavity S3.
[0065] In this invention, the motion chamber S3 and the free chamber S6 are connected to the outside atmosphere; the compression chamber S1, the transmission chamber S2, and the pressure chamber S5 are not connected to the outside atmosphere and are relatively closed chambers. The compression chamber S1 is filled with compressible gas and is a gas chamber, while the transmission chamber S2 and the pressure chamber S5 are filled with oil and are oil chambers.
[0066] An tilt adjustment structure 2 can also be installed inside the housing 1 of the actuator 0. The tilt adjustment structure 2 and the adjustment plate 5 are installed sequentially from front to back in the adjustment cavity 101. The front end of the tilt adjustment structure 2 extends into each cylindrical hole 102, and the rear end face is separated from the adjustment plate 5 by the pressure cavity S5. The rear end of the adjustment shaft 31 of the shortening adjustment structure 3 / lengthening adjustment structure 6 extends out of the central cavity 104 and then passes through the tilt adjustment structure 2 before connecting with the adjustment plate 5. The pressure change in the cylindrical hole 102 can also be transmitted to the tilt adjustment structure 2, and the tilt of the impact plate of the actuator 0 can be adjusted through the tilt adjustment structure 2.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the shortening adjustment structure 3 includes an adjustment shaft 31 and a shortening component 33. The adjustment shaft 31 is located on the central axis of the housing 1. One end of the adjustment shaft 31 extends into the central cavity 104, and the other end of the adjustment shaft 31 passes through the central cavity 104 and extends into the adjustment cavity 101. It then passes through the inclined adjustment structure 2 and the central hole of the adjustment plate 5 and is threadedly connected. When the middle part of the adjustment shaft 31 passes through the central cavity 104, it is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the central cavity 104, and is rotatably supported by the bearing 32, so that the front part of the central cavity 104 forms a relatively closed motion cavity S3. The shortening component 33 is installed inside the adjustment shaft 31 in the motion cavity S3 in front of the bearing 32. The bearing 32 is a double row angular contact ball bearing.
[0068] A radial fluid hole 3109 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting shaft 31 located in the pressure chamber S5 between the tilting adjustment structure 2 and the adjusting plate 5. A central fluid channel 3108 is provided in the center of the adjusting shaft 31. The rear end of the central fluid channel 3108 is connected to the pressure chamber S5 through the fluid hole 3109, and the front end is connected to the shortening component 33, thereby driving the shortening component 33 to drive the adjusting shaft 31 to rotate, thereby driving the adjusting plate 5 and the transmission rod 4 to move to the rear end to achieve shortening.
[0069] When the transmission rod 4 extends too far out of the housing 1, the pressure is transmitted to the pressure chamber S5 each time the transmission rod 4 squeezes into the housing 1. Then, the pressure is transmitted to the shortening component 33 through the central fluid channel 3108. The shortening component 33 is connected and drives the adjustment shaft 31 to rotate. The rotation of the adjustment shaft 31 drives the adjustment plate 5 to move axially to the rear end through the threaded sliding pair, thereby expanding the pressure chamber S5. After the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 decreases, the pressure is transmitted and finally causes the transmission rod 4 to move to the rear end, thus completing the adaptive retraction movement.
[0070] like Figure 3As shown, the adjusting shaft 31 has a stepped shaft structure and is divided into five sections from the front end to the rear end: an end section 3101, a clutch section 3102, a valve shaft section 3103, a long shaft section 3104, and a threaded section 3105. The threaded section 3105 is provided with external threads, which are threaded into the central hole of the adjusting plate 5. The front part of the long shaft section 3104 is rotatably fitted into the rear end of the central cavity 104 through a bearing 32. A central fluid channel 3108 is axially opened in the center of the long shaft section 3104, near the threaded section 3105. The long shaft section 3104 has a fluid hole 3109 at its rear end, and the central fluid channel 3108 is connected to the fluid hole 3109; the valve shaft section 3103 is sealed and fitted in the middle of the central cavity 104, and the valve shaft section 3103 has an inner cavity and flow channel that are connected to the front end of the central fluid channel 3108; the clutch section 3102 has a strip-shaped through groove near the rear end of the valve shaft section 3103, and the shortening component 33 is installed in the inner cavity and flow channel of the valve shaft section 3103 and the strip-shaped through groove of the clutch section 3102; the end section 3101 is used to install the elongation adjustment structure 6.
[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, the shortening assembly 33 includes a large one-way valve, a small one-way valve, and a lever sleeve 3301.
[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, the valve shaft section 3103 of the regulating shaft 31 has a small cavity 3106 and a large cavity 3107 sequentially opened along the axial direction from the front end to the rear end. The small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107 are coaxially connected. A step is formed between the small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107 due to the difference in their inner diameters. The large cavity 3107 is connected to the central fluid channel 3108 through a conical surface.
[0073] The clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31 has a vertically penetrating strip groove 3110 in the middle of the rear end near the valve shaft section 3103. A large one-way valve that can only be opened from back to front is installed in the space formed by the strip groove 3110, the small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107. A small one-way valve that can only be opened from front to back is installed in the large one-way valve. The clutch section 3102 has an outer flange at the end near the end section 3101. A lever sleeve 3301 is movably fitted on the clutch section 3102 between the outer flange and the strip groove 3110.
[0074] The rear step surface of the outer flange and the front end face of the lever bushing 3301 each have a engagement surface. When the rear step surface of the outer flange and the front end face of the lever bushing 3301 are in close contact, they form a coaxial rotating meshing connection.
[0075] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the large one-way valve includes a large T-shaped valve 3303 and a large spring 3304. The large T-shaped valve 3303 is an irregularly shaped valve body. The small end of the large T-shaped valve 3303 is installed in the small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107. The large end of the large T-shaped valve 3303 is installed in the strip-shaped through groove 3110 and can only move axially along the strip-shaped through groove 3110 and cannot rotate. The very end of the small end of the large T-shaped valve 3303 is fixedly provided with an annular flange. The large spring 3304 is connected between the stepped surface between the small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107 and the annular flange. The large spring 3304 is also fitted into the step between the small cavity 3106 and the large cavity 3107. Outside the small end of the large T-shaped valve 3303 between the face and the annular flange; inside the center of the large T-shaped valve 3303, a small valve chamber 3312 and an axial channel 3313 are sequentially opened along the axial direction from the front end to the rear end. The small valve chamber 3312 and the axial channel 3313 are connected. The axial channel 3313 and the central fluid channel 3108 are coaxially and directly connected. A small check valve is installed in the small valve chamber 3312. A right-angle channel 3311 is provided in the large T-shaped valve 3303 at the front end of the small valve chamber 3312. One end of the right-angle channel 3311 is connected to the small valve chamber 3312, and the other end is bent at a right angle and passes through the side wall of the small end of the large T-shaped valve 3303.
[0076] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the small one-way valve includes a small T-valve 3306 and a small spring 3307. The small end of the small T-valve 3306 is installed in the axial channel 3313, and the large end of the small T-valve 3306 is installed in the small valve cavity 3312 and plugs the connection between the front end face of the small valve cavity 3312 and the right-angle channel 3311. The small spring 3307 is connected between the stepped surface between the large end and the small end of the small T-valve 3306 and the rear end face of the small valve cavity 3312. The small spring 3307 is also fitted into the small valve cavity 3312. Outside the small end of the small T-valve 3306, between the stepped surface between the large end and the small end and the rear end face of the small valve cavity 3312; a one-way valve cavity 3309 is provided inside the small end of the small T-valve 3306. A radial fluid hole 3310 is opened on the side wall near the large end of the small end of the small T-valve 3306. The rear end of the one-way valve cavity 3309 and the axial channel 3313 are coaxially and directly connected. The front end of the one-way valve cavity 3309 is connected to the small valve cavity 3312 through the fluid hole 3310.
[0077] The lever sleeve 3301 has a sleeve magnet 3308 embedded in its rear face near the large T-valve 3303 for magnetic attraction with the magnetic material of the large T-valve 3303. The large T-valve 3303 has a ball bearing 3305 embedded in its front face near the lever sleeve 3301 for rolling connection with the end face of the lever sleeve 3301. The front face of the large T-valve 3303 and the rear face of the lever sleeve 3301 are connected by the ball bearing 3305. This structure allows the lever sleeve 3301 to rotate and move axially around the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31.Figure 8 As shown, the large T-valve 3303 can only move axially along the adjusting shaft 31 and cannot rotate, while the lever sleeve 3301 and the large T-valve 3303 can rotate relative to each other.
[0078] like Figure 9 As shown in (a), for the large one-way valve: Under normal conditions, the rear end face of the large T-valve 3303 is pressed by the large spring 3304 to the end face of the connection between the large cavity 3107 and the central fluid channel 3108, preventing the oil in the central fluid channel 3108 from flowing into the large cavity 3107. When the pressure in the central fluid channel 3108 is greater than the pressure in the large cavity 3107 and the right-angle channel 3311, and the pressure difference is greater than the spring force of the large spring 3304, the large one-way valve will open, pushing the large T-valve 3303 against the spring force of the large spring 3304 towards the front end. A gap is created between the front end face of the large T-valve 3303 and the connection, allowing the oil in the central fluid channel 3108 to flow into the large cavity 3107 through the gap, achieving conduction from back to front.
[0079] like Figure 9 As shown in (b), for the small check valve: Under normal conditions, the front end face of the small T-valve 3306 is pressed against the front end face of the small valve chamber 3312 by the small spring 3307, blocking the connection between the right-angle channel 3311 and the small valve chamber 3312, preventing the oil in the right-angle channel 3311 from flowing into the small valve chamber 3312. When the pressure difference between the right-angle channel 3311 and the small valve chamber 3312 is greater than the spring force of the small spring 3307, the small check valve will open, pushing the small T-valve 3306 against the spring force of the small spring 3307 to the rear end. A gap is created between the front end face of the small T-valve 3306 and the connection point, allowing the oil in the right-angle channel 3311 to flow into the small valve chamber 3312 through the gap, achieving front-to-back conduction.
[0080] like Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the lever sleeve 3301 mainly consists of an annular part and a lever fixedly connected to one side of the annular part. The lever is magnetic and can be attracted. The annular part is fitted onto the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31. A limited arc-shaped lever space 106 is provided on one side of the motion cavity S3 around the lever for the rotation of the lever sleeve 3301 and the swing of the lever. The lever space 106 is essentially an arc-shaped rotation space for the lever to swing within a limited range.
[0081] An arc-shaped shortening motion channel 109 is provided on the other side of the motion cavity S3. The shortening motion channel 109 and the lever space 106 should be located on both sides of the lever. An arc-shaped push rod 3302 is sealed in the middle of the shortening motion channel 109. The shortening motion channel 109 is directly connected to the lever space 106 at one end near the lever, and the other end is used to connect to the large cavity 3107 and the right-angle channel 3311. Specifically, it is connected to the annular cavity 105 through the shortening connecting channel 107. Two lever magnets 3314 for magnetically adsorbing the lever of the lever bushing 3301 are embedded in the clutch section 3102 on both sides of the shortening motion channel 109 near the lever.
[0082] Meanwhile, a radial fluid channel 3111 and a transition fluid channel 3112 are opened inside the valve shaft section 3103. The other end of the right-angle channel 3311 of the large T-shaped valve 3303 in the small cavity 3106 is connected to one end of the radial fluid channel 3111. The rear end side of the large cavity 3107 is connected to the middle part of the radial fluid channel 3111 via the transition fluid channel 3112. The other end of the radial fluid channel 3111 passes through the outer wall of the valve shaft section 3103. An annular cavity 105 is opened on the inner circumferential surface of the central cavity 104 where the port of the radial fluid channel 3111 passes through the outer wall of the valve shaft section 3103 is located. The annular cavity 105 is connected to the other end of the shortened connecting channel 107 and the shortened movement channel 109 opened inside the housing 1. This structure allows the shortened motion channel 109 to pass through the shortened connecting channel 107, and then through the radial fluid channel 3111 and the transition fluid channel 3112 to the right-angle channel 3311 and the large cavity 3107, thereby cooperating with the drive valves of different sizes.
[0083] Whenever the length of the transmission rod 4 extending beyond the housing 1 is too long, the following adjustment to reduce the extension length is performed. The specific shortening process is as follows:
[0084] like Figure 10 As shown, the working status is as follows:
[0085] Each time the transmission rod 4 presses into the housing 1, the pressure is transmitted to the pressure chamber S5 through the cylindrical hole 102. The pressure in the pressure chamber S5 increases, and then the pressure is transmitted through the central fluid channel 3108 to the axial channel 3313 of the shortening component 33 and the inner cavity 3309 of the one-way valve. The pressure in the inner cavity 3309 of the one-way valve is then transmitted to the small valve chamber 3312 through the fluid hole 3310. At this time, since the pressure in the small one-way valve is in the same direction as the spring force of the small spring 3307, the small one-way valve cannot open. However, the pressure in the overall cavity formed by the small valve chamber 3312, the inner cavity 3309 of the one-way valve, and the axial channel 3313 is greater than the pressure in the right-angle channel 3311, causing the large T-shaped valve 3303 to move forward.
[0086] On the one hand, after the large T-shaped valve 3303 moves forward, it will push the front end face of the lever sleeve 3301 to press against the outer flange of the clutch section 3102, forming a coaxial rotating meshing connection, that is, the lever sleeve 3301 and the adjusting shaft 31 rotate coaxially.
[0087] On the other hand, as the large T-valve 3303 moves forward, the large one-way valve also opens. The oil in the central fluid channel 3108 flows through the gap into the large cavity 3107, then through the transition fluid channel 3112 and the radial fluid channel 3111, and finally into the shortened connecting channel 107. After passing through the shortened connecting channel 107, it flows into the shortened movement channel 109, driving the arc-shaped push rod 3302 in the shortened movement channel 109 to push the lever sleeve 3301 in the lever space 106. This causes the lever of the lever sleeve 3301 to overcome the magnetic force between itself and the lever magnet 3314 and swing within the lever space 106. As a result, the swinging of the lever sleeve 3301 drives the adjusting shaft 31 to rotate. Then, the rotation of the adjusting shaft 31 drives the adjusting plate 5 to move axially to the rear end via the threaded sliding pair, thereby expanding the pressure chamber S5. After the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 decreases, the pressure is transmitted through the cylindrical hole 102, ultimately causing the transmission rod 4 to move to the rear end. Figure 12 As shown, the total length LX of actuator 0 becomes shorter, thereby completing the adaptive retraction motion.
[0088] Therefore, the thread direction relationship between the adjusting shaft 31 and the adjusting plate 5 should be such that when the adjusting shaft 31 is pushed in the forward direction by the arc-shaped push rod 3302 along with the lever sleeve 3301, the adjusting plate 5 is limited and cannot rotate, but can move backward.
[0089] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the return state:
[0090] Each time the transmission rod 4 moves outward from the housing 1 without pressing, the process is basically the opposite of the above. The pressure in the pressure chamber S5 is released, and the pressure in the overall cavity formed by the small valve chamber 3312, the one-way valve inner cavity 3309, and the axial channel 3313 is also released, and the pressure is greatly reduced. The pressure in the overall cavity formed by the small valve chamber 3312, the one-way valve inner cavity 3309, and the axial channel 3313 is then greater than the pressure in the right-angle channel 3311. The large T-valve 3303 moves backward, and under the action of the large spring 3304, the large one-way valve closes quickly, but... This is because the oil in the integral cavity formed by the right-angle channel 3311, the transition fluid channel 3112, the radial fluid channel 3111, and the large cavity 3107 cannot be discharged. After the large check valve is quickly closed, the pressure in the integral cavity formed by the right-angle channel 3311, the transition fluid channel 3112, the radial fluid channel 3111, and the large cavity 3107 will be greater than the pressure in the integral cavity formed by the small valve cavity 3312, the check valve inner cavity 3309, and the axial channel 3313. Therefore, it will push the small T-valve 3306 to move backward, causing the small check valve to open.
[0091] After the small one-way valve opens, the lever magnet 3314 exerts a magnetic force on the lever sleeve 3301. Under the magnetic force of the lever magnet 3314, the lever sleeve 3301 returns to its original position, close to the step surface between the lever space 106 and the shortening movement channel 109. This causes the arc-shaped push rod 3302 to retract. The retraction of the arc-shaped push rod 3302 pushes the oil in the shortening movement channel 109 and the shortening connecting channel 107 back into the overall cavity formed by the right-angle channel 3311, the transition fluid channel 3112, the radial fluid channel 3111, and the large cavity 3107. Then, the oil in the right-angle channel 3311 flows through the gap into the small valve cavity 3312. The oil in the small valve cavity 3312 then flows through the one-way valve inner cavity 3309 and the axial channel 3313 into the central fluid channel 3108, and finally returns to the pressure chamber S5.
[0092] It should be noted that the entire process described above is automatically adjusted by the system.
[0093] like Figure 3As shown, the elongation adjustment structure 6 includes an adjustment shaft 31 and an adjustment assembly 61. The adjustment shaft 31 is located on the central axis of the housing 1. One end of the adjustment shaft 31 extends into the central cavity 104, and the other end of the adjustment shaft 31 passes through the central cavity 104 and extends into the adjustment cavity 101. It then passes through the tilt adjustment structure 2 and the central hole of the adjustment plate 5 and is threadedly connected. When the middle part of the adjustment shaft 31 passes through the central cavity 104, it is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the central cavity 104, and is rotatably supported by the bearing 32, so that the front part of the central cavity 104 forms a relatively closed motion cavity S3. The adjustment assembly 61 is installed at the front end of the adjustment shaft 31 in the motion cavity S3 in front of the bearing 32. The bearing 32 is a double row angular contact ball bearing.
[0094] The isolation column 403 is also provided with a connecting cavity and a connecting channel. The pressure of the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column of the cylindrical hole 102 is transmitted to the motion cavity S3 through the connecting cavity and the connecting channel, thereby driving the length adjustment component 61 to drive the adjustment shaft 31 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustment plate 5 and the transmission rod 4 to move towards the front end to achieve elongation.
[0095] When the length of the transmission rod 4 extending out of the housing 1 is too short, each time the transmission rod 4 presses into the housing 1, the pressure is transmitted to the cylindrical hole 102, and then transmitted to the length adjustment component 61 through the connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column 403. This drives the length adjustment component 61 to move and rotate the adjustment shaft 31. The rotation of the adjustment shaft 31 then drives the adjustment plate 5 to move axially towards the front end through the threaded sliding pair, thereby reducing the volume of the pressure chamber S5. After the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 increases, the pressure is transmitted and finally causes the transmission rod 4 to move towards the front end, thus completing the adaptive elongation movement.
[0096] like Figure 13As shown, the length adjustment assembly 61 includes a ring sleeve 611, a shaped rod 612 made of magnetic material, a ring magnet 614, a pull rod mechanism 615, and a stop 616. The ring sleeve 611 is axially movable and rotatably fitted onto the end section 3101 near its end. The ring magnet 614 is fixedly fitted onto the end of the end section 3101 of the adjustment shaft 31. The ring sleeve 611 is located between the ring magnet 614 and the clutch section 3102. A radially upward-arranged shaped rod 612 is fixedly arranged on the top circumference of the ring sleeve 611. The shaped rod 612 and the ring sleeve 611 move together. The top side of the motion cavity S3 at the end of the end section 3101 of the adjustment shaft 31 is fixed... A baffle 616 is fixedly provided, and the irregular rod 612 is located on the side of the baffle 616. The baffle 616 is fixed to the housing 1. A pull rod space 108 is provided on the other side for the arrangement and movement of the pull rod mechanism 615. The pull rod mechanism 615 is arranged inside the pull rod space 108. One end of the pull rod mechanism 615 is movably inserted into the housing 1 and is connected to the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column of the cylindrical hole 102 through a connecting cavity and a connecting channel. The side end face of the baffle 616 facing the pull rod mechanism 615 and the pull rod space 108 is set as a vertical plane. A square magnet 613 is provided inside the baffle 616 for magnetically repelling the internal structure of the pull rod mechanism 615 and magnetically adsorbing the irregular rod 612.
[0097] The square magnet 613 of this invention has two functions: one is to magnetically attract the irregularly shaped rod 612, and the other is to magnetically repel the flat magnet 6156 in the pull rod mechanism 615, thus achieving a dual function and effect. Under normal conditions, the irregularly shaped rod 612 is attracted by the square magnet 613 and pressed tightly against the vertical plane of the baffle 616.
[0098] The diameter of the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31 is larger than the diameter of the end section 3101. A stepped surface is formed between the end section 3101 and the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31. The stepped surface and the rear end face of the ring sleeve 611 are provided with a clutch surface that engages and disengages with each other, so that the stepped surface and the rear end face of the ring sleeve 611 form a coaxial rotational meshing connection when they are in close contact with each other, that is, the ring sleeve 611 and the adjusting shaft 31 rotate coaxially.
[0099] like Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, the lever mechanism 615 includes a reciprocating lever 6151, a magnet block 6152, a first pawl 6153, a second pawl 6154, and a flat magnet 6156. One end of the reciprocating lever 6151 is fixedly fitted with a magnet block 6152 for magnetically attracting the first pawl 6153 to return it to its horizontal position. The other end of the reciprocating lever 6151 is inserted into the housing 1 of the lever space 108. One end of the reciprocating lever 6151 is hinged to the first pawl 6153 via a horizontal pin, allowing the first pawl 6153 to swing and rotate up and down around the horizontal pin. A second pawl 6154 is hinged to one side of the first pawl 6153 via a vertical pin, forming a scissor-like clamping structure. The second pawl 6154 can swing and rotate horizontally left and right around the vertical pin. A flat magnet 6156 is embedded inside the first pawl 6153 for magnetically repelling engagement with the square magnet 613.
[0100] A reset magnet 617 for resetting the pull rod mechanism 615 is embedded beside the housing 1 into which the reciprocating rod 6151 of the pull rod mechanism 615 extends. In a specific implementation, a reset magnet 617 for providing reset power is also provided, and the reset magnet 617 can be installed in... Figure 5 The marked location. The function of the reset magnet 617 is: when the pressure in the elongated connecting channel 111, the elongated connecting cavity 110, and the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column decreases, the reset magnet 617 attracts the magnet block 6152, thereby driving the entire pull rod mechanism 615 to reset. The magnet block 6152 also has two functions, enabling it to be used for multiple purposes.
[0101] The second claw 6154 is hinged to the first claw 6153 at its root, and one end of the second claw 6154 is fixedly connected to the support lug 6158 near its root. The other end of the support lug 6158 is connected to the middle of the first claw 6153 via a spring 6155, so that under the action of the spring 6155, the other end of the support lug 6158 abuts against the side of the first claw 6153, so that the second claw 6154 moves toward the first claw 6153 to maintain a clamping posture under normal conditions. Under normal conditions, there is a clamping gap between the second claw 6154 and the first claw 6153 with a width smaller than the outer diameter of the irregular rod 612 for clamping the irregular rod 612.
[0102] like Figure 15 As shown, the corner of the outer end of the first jaw 6153 near the second jaw 6154 is formed by beveling to create a wedge surface 6159. The wedge surface 6159 is used to engage with and contact the irregular rod 612, and to drive the irregular rod 612 to move backward. Figure 16As shown, the root of the first jaw 6153 is hinged to the reciprocating rod 6151. A localized magnetic element or material is provided at the root of the first jaw 6153 near the magnet block 6152. The magnetic element or material attracts the magnet block 6152, providing the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 with an overall swing-rotational reset force. This allows the magnet block 6152 to magnetically attract the magnetic element or material, ensuring that the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 return to a horizontal position after swinging and rotating. In the initial state, under the action of the magnet block 6152, both the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 remain horizontal with the reciprocating rod 6151.
[0103] like Figure 13 As shown, the pull rod space 108 has an elongation movement channel on the wall of the motion cavity S3 on the side away from the stop 616. The reciprocating rod 6151 of the pull rod mechanism 615 is axially movable and sealed in one end of the elongation movement channel. The other end of the elongation movement channel is connected to the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column of the cylindrical hole 102 through the connecting cavity and the connecting channel on the isolation column 403.
[0104] like Figure 17 As shown, the connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column 403 specifically include an elongated connecting cavity 110, an air hole 406, and an elongated connecting channel 111. An annular elongated connecting cavity 110 is also provided on the wall of the cylindrical hole 102 at the isolation column 403. At least one isolation column 403 has an air hole 406 on at least one side wall of its inner cavity 407, allowing the inner cavity 407 to connect with the elongated connecting cavity 110 via the air hole 406. The elongated connecting cavity 110 is connected to one end of the elongated moving channel via the elongated connecting channel 111 inside the housing 1, and the other end of the elongated moving channel connects to the pull rod space 108. This allows the gas pressure inside the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column to be transmitted sequentially through the air hole 406, the elongated connecting cavity 110, and the elongated connecting channel 111 to the elongated moving channel, pushing the reciprocating rod 6151 in the elongated moving channel towards the irregular rod 612 and the baffle 616. When the reciprocating rod 6151 moves toward the irregular rod 612, the stop blocks the irregular rod 612, and the ring sleeve 611 does not rotate.
[0105] like Figure 23As shown, the irregular rod 612 mainly consists of a thick rod 6121, a thin rod 6122, and a positioning block 6123. The thick rod 6121 and the thin rod 6122 are arranged coaxially at the top and bottom, respectively. The thick rod 6121 is used to cooperate with the pull rod mechanism 615 and be driven to move. The lower end of the thick rod 6121 and the upper end of the thin rod 6122 are coaxially connected. The lower end of the thin rod 6122 is fixed to the ring sleeve 611. A positioning block 6123 is fixedly installed between the bottom end of the thick rod 6121 and the thin rod 6122, and is arranged radially perpendicular to both the thick rod 6121 and the thin rod 6122. The positioning block 6123 is used to cooperate with the square slot 6157 in the pull rod mechanism 615. The size of the positioning block 6123 is slightly smaller than the size of the square slot 6157. The lower plane of the positioning block 6123 coincides with the lower plane of the thick rod 6121. The positioning block 6123 is used to abut against the claw of the pull rod mechanism 615 at the appropriate time. The function of the positioning block 6123 is: when the square magnet 613 and the flat magnet 6156 generate repulsive force, the first claw 6153 and the second claw 6154 tend to rotate downward. The positioning block 6123 is used to hold the second claw 6154 in place, thereby preventing the two claws from rotating downward at an inappropriate time.
[0106] During operation, the thick rod 6121 is positioned in the gap between the second jaw 6154 and the first jaw 6153, and is clamped and driven by the second jaw 6154 and the first jaw 6153. In the lever mechanism 615, the second jaw 6154 has a vertically through-groove near its root, serving as a square slot 6157. This square slot 6157 is used to engage with the positioning block 6123 of the irregular rod 612. Specifically, when the lever mechanism 615 is radially pushed to its limit and moves close to the irregular rod 612 and the stop 616, the square magnet 613 magnetically repels the flat magnet 6156, causing the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 to swing downwards as a whole. This allows the positioning block 6123 of the irregular rod 612 to freely pass through the square slot 6157 without being obstructed from passing through the second jaw 6154.
[0107] Whenever the length of the transmission rod 4 extending out of the housing 1 is too short, the following extension length adjustment is performed, and the specific extension movement process is as follows:
[0108] In its original state, the ring sleeve 611 and the irregular rod 612 are magnetically attracted and fixed by the annular magnet 614 at the far end of the adjusting shaft 31. At the same time, the irregular rod 612, made of magnetic material, is magnetically attracted and pressed against the side of the baffle 616 by the square magnet 613 inside the baffle 616. The magnet block 6152 of the pull rod mechanism 615 will magnetically attract the root of the first claw 6153, so that the first claw 6153 and the second claw 6154 cannot rotate and remain horizontally arranged.
[0109] like Figure 22 As shown, the working status is as follows:
[0110] Each time the transmission rod 4 presses into the housing 1, the pressure is transmitted through the cylindrical hole 102 to the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column 403. The gas pressure in the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column is transmitted sequentially through the air hole 406, the elongation connecting cavity 110, and the elongation connecting channel 111 to the elongation movement channel, pushing the reciprocating rod 6151 and the overall tie rod mechanism 615 in the elongation movement channel to move closer to the irregular rod 612 and the stop 616.
[0111] If the pull rod mechanism 615 moves toward the irregular rod 612, the irregular rod 612 will first contact the inclined wedge surface 6159 of the first pawl in the pull rod mechanism 615, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, it slides into the clamping gap between the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 and is clamped by the jaws, and then pulled by the clamping gap. The specific process is as follows:
[0112] First, the wedge surface 6159 pushes the irregular rod 612 towards the rear end. The irregular rod 612 and its ring sleeve 611, as a whole, overcome the magnetic attraction force of the ring magnet 614 and move towards the rear end until they mesh and engage with the stepped surface of the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31. Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the ring sleeve 611 and the adjusting shaft 31 are connected to rotate synchronously;
[0113] Then, with the ring sleeve 611 and the adjusting shaft 31 maintaining an engaged connection, the shaped rod 612 has slid into the clamping gap between the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 and is clamped by the jaws. The pull rod mechanism 615 continues to move towards the shaped rod 612, and the shaped rod 612 continues to move horizontally deeper into the clamping gap. At this time, the shaped rod 612 overcomes friction in the clamping gap and is blocked by the stop 616, preventing it from moving, thus keeping the ring sleeve 611 stationary. At this time, the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154 maintain a horizontal posture, and the positioning block 6123 of the shaped rod 612 will always remain below the second jaw 6154.
[0114] like Figure 22 As shown, the return state:
[0115] When the transmission rod 4 returns to its original position outside the housing 1, the pressure in the cylindrical hole 102 and the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column decreases significantly and is released. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnet block 6152 of the pull rod mechanism 615 by the reset magnet 617, the pull rod mechanism 615 moves back to its original position. The pressure in the extension movement channel is relatively high. After passing through the extension connecting channel 111, the extension connecting cavity 110, and the air hole 406, it returns to the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column and is lowered and released, thereby driving the reciprocating rod 6151 to perform a return movement, so that the pull rod mechanism 615 is pulled back.
[0116] When the pull rod mechanism 615 is returned to its original position, the irregular rod 612 remains clamped within the clamping gap and maintains a certain horizontal depth. Since there are no obstructions such as the stop 616, the return of the pull rod mechanism 615 will also pull the irregular rod 612 away from the stop 616 and closer to the pull rod space 108. At this time, the movement of the irregular rod 612 drives the overall rotation of the irregular rod 612 and the ring sleeve 611, thereby driving the adjusting shaft 31 to rotate synchronously. Then, the rotation of the adjusting shaft 31 drives the adjusting plate 5 to move axially towards the front end via the threaded sliding pair, realizing the reduction of the pressure chamber S5. After the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 increases, the pressure is transmitted through the cylindrical hole 102, ultimately causing the transmission rod 4 to move towards the front end. Figure 25 As shown, the total length LX of actuator 0 increases, thereby completing the adaptive elongation motion and compensating for the working stroke. Therefore, the thread direction relationship between adjusting shaft 31 and adjusting plate 5 should be such that when adjusting shaft 31 is rotated by ring sleeve 611, adjusting plate 5 is limited and cannot rotate but can move forward.
[0117] Then, when the shaped rod 612 overcomes the frictional force of the clamping gap and disengages from the clamping gap, it is released from the clamping gap. Once the shaped rod 612 is released, the shaped rod 612 and the ring sleeve 611 are magnetically attracted in two directions by the square magnet 613 and the ring magnet 614 inside the stop 616, respectively. At the same time, the ring sleeve 611 disengages from the step surface of the clutch section 3102 of the adjusting shaft 31, and the shaped rod 612 is attracted to the side of the stop 616 and returns to its position for the next operation.
[0118] It should be noted that the entire process described above is automatically adjusted by the system. Repeating the above actions multiple times allows for multiple adjustments to the actuator length.
[0119] like Figure 24 As shown, the limiting state:
[0120] When the transmission rod 4 presses into the housing 1 each time, if the pressure transmitted to the cylindrical hole 102 via the impact disc 401 and the transmission column 402 is too high, the excessive pressure in the cylindrical hole 102 will be transmitted sequentially through the inner cavity 407 of the isolation column, the air hole 406, the elongation connecting cavity 110, and the elongation connecting channel 111 to the elongation movement channel. This will push the reciprocating rod 6151 and the overall tie rod mechanism 615 in the elongation movement channel to move towards the extreme position close to the irregular rod 612 and the stop 616. That is, the irregularly shaped rod 612 extends horizontally into the innermost part of the clamping gap. In this case, the flat magnet 6156 inside the first claw 6153 of the pull rod mechanism 615 is located directly below the square magnet 613 inside the stop 616, and the fixed square magnet 613 will generate a repulsive force on the flat magnet 6156. This causes the first claw 6153 and the second claw 6154 to overcome the magnetic force of the magnet block 6152 and swing rapidly downward in the pull rod mechanism 615. During the swinging process,
[0121] The positioning block 6123 on the irregular rod 612 will pass through the square slot 6157 on the second claw 6154. After the positioning block 6123 passes through the square slot 6157, the pull rod mechanism 615 will return to its original position. During the return motion of the lever mechanism 615, the positioning block 6123 will always remain on the second jaw 6154. This prevents the thicker part 6121 of the shaped rod 612 from being in the clamping gap between the first jaw 6153 and the second jaw 6154. Meanwhile, the diameter of the thinner part 6122 of the shaped rod 612 is smaller than the initial gap between the first jaw 6153 and the jaw 6154. Therefore, the shaped rod 612 cannot be clamped and moved. As a result, when the pressure in the cylindrical hole 102 is too high, the shaped rod 612 and the ring sleeve 611 cannot be rotated, and the adjusting plate 5 cannot be moved axially to the front end. This prevents the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 from continuously increasing, ensuring work safety and effectively solving the pressure problem in the ultimate state.
[0122] The effect achieved under the above extreme conditions is that when the length of the actuator is appropriate, although the lever mechanism 615 still reciprocates, it will not clamp the irregular rod 612 to rotate, and therefore will not drive the adjusting shaft 31 to rotate, and thus will not adjust the length of the actuator.
[0123] In specific implementation, the adjustment shaft 31 of the elongation adjustment structure 6 and the adjustment shaft 31 of the shortening adjustment structure 3 use the same shaft. The shortening adjustment structure 3 and the elongation adjustment structure 6 can work together. Generally, each time the transmission rod 4 presses into the housing 1, the elongation adjustment structure 6 works once to perform an elongation movement. During this period, the elongation adjustment structure 6 performs multiple elongation movements. Then, when the elongation reaches a certain extent and the pressure in the pressure chamber S5 is sufficiently high, the shortening adjustment structure 3 works once to perform a shortening movement. Then, the elongation adjustment structure 6 performs multiple elongation movements, thereby continuously and adaptively adjusting the elongation of the transmission rod 4 in real time to adapt to the internal pressure and improve the life of the device.
[0124] In specific implementation, the elongation adjustment structure 6 can work once to perform an elongation movement, and then the shortening adjustment structure 3 can work once to perform a shortening movement. The shortening adjustment structure 3 and the elongation adjustment structure 6 can work once each to perform a continuous cycle for real-time adaptive adjustment, thereby adjusting and balancing the internal pressure and improving the lifespan of the device.

The other end of the support lug (6158) is connected to the middle of the first claw (6153) via a spring (6155), so that under the action of the spring (6155), the other end of the support lug (6158) abuts against the side of the first claw (6153), so that under normal conditions, the second claw (6154) moves closer to the first claw (6153) to maintain a clamping posture; under normal conditions, there is a clamping gap between the second claw (6154) and the first claw (6153) with a width smaller than the outer diameter of the shaped rod (612) for clamping the shaped rod (612); The corner of the first claw (6153) near the second claw (6154) is formed by beveling to form a wedge surface (6159). The wedge surface (6159) is used to engage with and contact the shaped rod (612) and drive the shaped rod (612) to move backward. The root of the first claw (6153) is hinged to the reciprocating rod (6151). The root of the first claw (6153) is provided with a local magnetic component or magnetic material near the magnet block (6152). The magnetic component or magnetic material and the magnet block (6152) attract each other to provide the overall swing rotation and reset force of the first claw (6153) and the second claw (6154). The irregular rod (612) is mainly composed of a thick rod (6121), a thin rod (6122), and a positioning block (6123). The thick rod (6121) and the thin rod (6122) are arranged coaxially at the top and bottom respectively. The thick rod (6121) is used to cooperate with the pull rod mechanism (615) and be driven to move. The lower end of the thin rod (6122) is fixed on the ring sleeve (611). A radially arranged positioning block (6123) is fixed between the bottom end of the thick rod (6121) and the thin rod (6122). The positioning block (6123) is used to cooperate with the pull rod mechanism (615). The second claw (6154) of the pull rod mechanism (615) has a through groove near the root as a square empty slot (6157). The square empty slot (6157) is used to cooperate with the positioning block (6123) of the irregular rod (612).
9. The actuator capable of real-time autonomous deformation according to claim 8, characterized in that: The pull rod space (108) has an elongation movement channel on the wall of the motion cavity (S3) on the side away from the stop (616). The reciprocating rod (6151) of the pull rod mechanism (615) is axially and movably inserted into one end of the elongation movement channel. The other end of the elongation movement channel is connected to the cylindrical hole (102) through the connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column (403). The connecting cavity and connecting channel on the isolation column (403) specifically include an elongated connecting cavity (110), an air hole (406) and an elongated connecting channel (111). The cylindrical hole (102) at the isolation column (403) is also provided with an annular elongated connecting cavity (110). The isolation column (403) has an air hole (406) on the side wall of the inner cavity (407) of the isolation column, so that the inner cavity (407) of the isolation column is connected to the elongated connecting cavity (110) through the air hole (406). The elongated connecting cavity (110) is connected to one end of the elongated connecting channel (111) opened inside the shell (1) and the elongated movement channel. The other end of the elongated movement channel is connected to the pull rod space (108).
