[0056] Furthermore, the limit assembly 7 includes a switch seat 71 and a switch plate 72 disposed on the switch seat 71, wherein the switch seat 71 is installed in the sleeve assembly 2, and the switch plate 72 is installed on the switch seat 71. Through the opening and closing of the switch plate, the feedback signal controls the start and stop of the power assembly, that is, when the driving nut is reset to the bottom, it touches the switch plate 72, so that the driving motor 31 stops working, that is, the telescopic tube of the electric push rod runs to the bottom.

[0057] As an improvement, Figure 2 As shown, the power assembly 3 includes: a driving motor 31, a reducer 32 connected to the output end of the driving motor 31, a transmission screw 33 connected to the output end of the reducer 32, a transmission nut 34 arranged on the outside of the transmission screw 33, and a nut sleeve 35 sleeved on the outside of the transmission nut 34, and the nut sleeve 35 is slidingly connected to the inner wall of the sleeve assembly 2.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] like Figure 3-Figure 10 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that:

[0062] In this embodiment, Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the self-locking component 5 includes:

[0063] A fixing seat 51, one end of which is connected to the reducer 32, preferably by fasteners, and the other end of which is provided with a regulating cavity 511 for regulating the opening and closing of the self-locking component 5;

[0064] A connecting shaft 52, one end of which is connected to the output end of the reducer 32;

[0065] A locking pin 53, wherein a plurality of locking pins 53 are arranged at intervals in the regulating cavity 511;

[0066] A release sleeve 54 is rotatably disposed in the regulating cavity 511, and the release sleeve 54 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 52 and rotates synchronously with the connecting shaft 52; a plurality of "T"-shaped release shovels 541 are arranged at intervals in the circumference of the release sleeve 54, and the locking pin 53 is arranged between two adjacent release shovels 541, and the release shovel 541 rotates to drive the locking pin 53 away from the inner wall of the fixing seat 51; in addition, the "T"-shaped release shovel 541 can realize that the electric push rod can scoop up the locking pin 53 in both forward and reverse rotations, and can operate normally in both forward and reverse rotations; protrusions are arranged on both sides of the release shovel 541 for shoveling up the locking pin 53, and the protrusions are a structure with a relatively small thickness;

[0067] The locking sleeve 55 is connected to the transmission screw 33 and rotates synchronously with the transmission screw 33. The outer circumference of the locking sleeve 55 is provided with a plurality of pushing parts 551 for pushing the locking pin 53 toward the inner wall of the fixing seat 51. The pushing parts 551 are arranged one by one with the locking pin 53.

[0068] Preferably, one group of pushing parts 551 and two adjacent groups of releasing shovels 541 enclose an activity space for the locking pin 53, and the position of the locking pin 53 is limited by the activity space, so that when the electric push rod needs to self-lock, the locking sleeve 55 quickly contacts the locking pin 53 and gets stuck on the inner wall of the fixing seat 51, reducing the rotation angle of the locking sleeve 55, thereby reducing the distance that the electric push rod can be reset, and realizing the self-locking of the electric push rod with the minimum distance, avoiding long-distance movement that affects the normal use of the electric push rod. At the same time, when it is necessary to release the self-locking, the releasing shovel 541 can quickly shovel the locking pin 53 away from the fixing seat 51, so as to realize the normal output of the electric push rod.

[0069] Further, such as Figure 8 As shown, the driving motor 31 rotates, driving the release sleeve 54 to rotate, and the release shovel 541 shovels the locking pin 53 in contact with the inner wall of the fixing seat 51 away from the fixing seat 51, and the electric push rod is normally transmitted;

[0070] like Fig. 9 As shown, when the electric push rod reaches the specified position, the driving motor 31 stops working, and the front end component 4 connected to the transmission screw 33 transmits force to the transmission screw 33, so that the transmission screw 33 has a tendency to rotate, and at the same time drives the locking sleeve 55 to rotate. The pushing part 551 on the locking sleeve 55 presses the locking pin 53 against the inner wall of the regulating cavity 511 to clamp it, preventing the locking sleeve 55 from continuing to rotate, thereby realizing the self-locking of the electric push rod.

[0071] As an improvement, Figure 7 As shown, the position where the top of the pushing portion 551 contacts the locking pin 53 is in an arc shape, thereby improving the stability of the operation of the locking pin 53.

[0072] In addition, the bottom of the release shovel 541 abuts against the outer diameter surface of the locking sleeve 55 between the adjacent pushing parts 551, thereby improving the rotation stability of the locking sleeve 55 and the release sleeve and improving the transmission accuracy.

[0073] Furthermore, Fig.10 As shown, the self-locking component 5 also includes a gasket 56 arranged on the side of the release sleeve 54 and the locking sleeve 55; the gasket 56 closes the regulating cavity 511, and grease is provided in the regulating cavity 511 to lubricate the release sleeve 54 and the locking sleeve 55. At the same time, the position of the locking pin 53 is kept relatively constant and displacement will only occur under the action of a larger external force.

[0074] Embodiment 3

[0075] like Figure 11-13 As shown, the components identical or corresponding to those in the first embodiment are marked with the corresponding reference numerals in the first embodiment. For the sake of simplicity, only the differences from the first embodiment are described below. The differences between the third embodiment and the first embodiment are as follows:

[0076] In this embodiment, the electric push rod also includes a quick release component 6 arranged between the telescopic tube 41 and the connecting head 42. The quick release component 6 is used to manually and quickly change the position of the telescopic tube 41. It should be noted that by dividing the telescopic tube 41 and the connecting head 42 into two separately rotating parts, the telescopic tube 41 is manually driven to reciprocate, thereby realizing the rapid adjustment of the position of the telescopic tube 41.

[0077] As an improvement, the quick release assembly 6 comprises:

[0078] A lower fixing sleeve 61, wherein the lower fixing sleeve 61 is connected to the telescopic tube 41;

[0079] A support shaft 62, the support shaft 62 is rotatably disposed at one end of the lower fixed sleeve 61, and a limiting protrusion 621 is provided on the support shaft 62;

[0080] An upper fixing sleeve 63, wherein the upper fixing sleeve 63 is rotatably connected to the other end of the support shaft 62;

[0081] An intermediate sleeve 64, one end of which is fixedly connected to the lower fixed sleeve 61, preferably by threaded connection and set screws, to achieve the fixation of the intermediate sleeve 64, and the other end is connected to the limiting protrusion 621. It should be noted that thrust bearings are provided on both sides of the limiting protrusion 621, and the support shaft 62 is rotatably limited on the lower fixed sleeve 61 through the intermediate sleeve 64; a plurality of fifth guide portions 641 are axially provided on the outer diameter surface of the intermediate sleeve 64 and the outer diameter surface of the upper fixed sleeve 63;

[0082] The manual sliding sleeve 65 is slidably arranged on the outer diameter surfaces of the lower fixed sleeve 61, the middle sleeve 64 and the upper fixed sleeve 63, and its inner diameter surface is axially provided with a sixth guide portion 651 adapted to the fifth guide portion 641; the fifth guide portion 641 and the sixth guide portion 651 preferably adopt a guide groove and a protrusion that cooperate with each other.

[0083] It should be noted that if Fig.12 As shown, when the sixth guide portion 651 contacts the fifth guide portions 641 of the intermediate sleeve 64 and the upper fixed sleeve 63 at the same time, the lower fixed sleeve 61 and the upper fixed sleeve 63 are connected to form an integral transmission structure.

[0084] like Fig.13 As shown, when the sixth guide portion 651 is separated from the fifth guide portion 641 of the upper fixing sleeve 63, the lower fixing sleeve 61 and the upper fixing sleeve 63 are relatively rotatable. When the upper fixing sleeve 63 is subjected to a leftward thrust, under the guidance of the transmission screw 33, the transmission nut 34 is self-rotated, driving the telescopic tube 41 to be retracted, thereby realizing manual resetting of the electric push rod. It should be noted that the premise for realizing manual resetting is that the transmission screw 33 is a non-self-locking screw, that is, the transmission nut 34 can be self-rotated by external force acting vertically on the transmission nut 34.

[0085] Furthermore, the inner diameter surface of the manual sleeve 65 is provided with two groups of positioning grooves 652 along the circumferential direction, and the two groups of positioning grooves 652 are located on one side of the sixth guide portion 651; the outer diameter surface of the lower fixed sleeve 61 is provided with a plurality of elastic limiting portions 611 for limiting the position of the manual sleeve 65, and the positioning grooves 652 are in a V-shaped structure, so that the elastic limiting portions 611 can be smoothly inserted into the positioning grooves 652 to achieve the positioning of the manual sleeve 65 during movement; the elastic limiting portions 611 preferably adopt a ball-matching spring method, the spring is installed in the lower fixed sleeve 61, the ball is arranged at the top of the spring, and the ball is positioned on the lower fixed sleeve by a limiting ring.

[0086] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
