A second conduit 1609 is fixedly connected to the top of the water pump 1608. A third conduit 1610 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water pump 1608.

[0024] The outer surface of the worm wheel 6 is meshed with the outer surface of the worm 7 , the outer surface of the connecting rod 8 passes through the first housing 1 and extends to the outside, and the hand wheel 9 is arranged on the outside of the first housing 1 .

[0025] The outer surface of the telescopic cylinder 12 extends to the inner cavity of the first housing 1 , and the outer surface of the first gear 5 meshes with the outer surface of the second gear 13 .

[0026] The outer surface of the telescopic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to a second bearing 14 , and the outer surface of the second bearing 14 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the second housing 2 .

[0027] A first bolt 1506 is provided in the mounting hole on the outer surface of the stator 1501 , and the stator 1501 is connected to the bottom of the motor 10 via the first bolt 1506 . The outer surface of the friction plate 1502 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the stator 1501 .

[0028] The leaf spring 1504 is arranged on the upper surface of the wheel hub 1503 , the armature 1505 is arranged on the upper surface of the leaf spring 1504 , a second bolt 1507 is arranged in the mounting hole of the wheel hub 1503 , and the wheel hub 1503 , the leaf spring 1504 and the armature 1505 are connected by the second bolt 1507 .

[0031] When in use, when the electric actuator receives a start signal from the control module 17, the control module 17 will output current to the motor 10 to rotate the motor 10. When the motor 10 rotates, torque will be generated, thereby driving the second gear 13 to rotate, and the first gear 5 will rotate accordingly, and drive the connecting shaft 3 to rotate to achieve mechanical action. The control module 17 can also control the speed and torque of the motor 10 by adjusting the current and voltage of the motor 10, thereby achieving precise automatic control. A large amount of heat is generated during the operation of the electric actuator. The first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity. Water is provided inside the water storage cylinder 1602. The cooling plate 1607 is energized to turn the water in the water storage cylinder 1602 into cold water, and the water pump 1608 is started, so that the cold water in the water storage cylinder 1602 is drawn out by the second conduit 1609 and introduced into the cooling chamber 1603 in the cooling shell 1601 through the third conduit 1610. According to the principle of heat conduction, heat will be transferred from the part with higher temperature of the object along the object to the part with lower temperature, thereby causing the electric actuator to produce The heat generated is absorbed by the cold water in the cooling chamber 1603 to achieve the purpose of cooling and heat dissipation. When the temperature sensor 1604 detects that the temperature in the cooling chamber 1603 rises to a preset value, the one-way valve 1606 automatically opens. Since the pressure in the cooling chamber 1603 is greater than the pressure in the water storage cylinder 1602, the heated water in the cooling chamber 1603 returns to the water storage cylinder 1602 through the first conduit 1605 under the action of the pressure difference. After the water is cooled again by the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration plate 1607 in the water storage cylinder 1602, it is cooled again. The water pump 1608 introduces cold water into the cooling chamber 1603 to achieve water recycling and thus efficient cooling. When the electric actuator is powered off, the backup battery 18 provides power to the brake module 15 and the telescopic cylinder 12. The telescopic cylinder 12 shortens so that the second gear 13 leaves the first gear 5. The coil 1508 in the stator 1501 generates electromagnetic force and attracts the armature 1505, so that the connecting shaft 3 stops rotating immediately, thereby achieving an emergency stop of the electric actuator and reducing the wear on the internal structure of the electric actuator.
