Abstract

[0002] As a key component in the field of modern industrial automation and precision control, linear actuators are widely used for their excellent performance advantages. They can convert the rotary motion of the motor into linear motion, provide precise position control and powerful thrust output. However, although ordinary linear drives perform well in many applications, they still have some limitations. Linear actuators usually use a combination of motor and ball screw, which is often bulky in terms of space requirements. In reciprocating motion applications, the space requirements are large, making it difficult for traditional designs to adapt to space-constrained occasions. For example, the motor assembly is usually connected to one end of the screw, which not only increases the overall length of the actuator unit, but also limits its application capabilities in compact environments; although the ball screw is favored for its precise linear motion, its performance may be limited in applications that require high speed or high acceleration, and it cannot meet the needs of fast movement or fast stopping, limiting its use in high-performance applications; in addition, ordinary linear drives require additional sensors and complex wiring, which increases the complexity of the system and installation costs.

[0023] Embodiment 2:
[0024] The scheme in Example 1 is further introduced below in combination with a specific working method, as described below for details: an elastic retaining ring 5 is provided on the front side of the torque sensor 19, and the elastic retaining ring 5 is clamped on the outer wall of the common-speed connector 6. The rear end of the common-speed connector 6 is fixedly connected to the nut 15 by a screw, and an angular contact ball bearing 10 is sleeved on the rear side of the nut 15.
[0025] Embodiment 3:
[0026] The scheme in Example 2 is further introduced below in combination with the specific working method, as described below for details: the transmission assembly 8 includes a fixed disk 801, a fixed shaft 802 and a roller 803. There are two fixed disks 801, and a plurality of equidistant fixed shafts 802 are passed through the opposite sides of the two fixed disks 801. The two ends of the plurality of fixed shafts 802 are respectively connected to the bearings of the fixed disks 801, and the outer walls of the plurality of fixed shafts 802 are respectively sleeved with rollers 803. The two fixed disks 801 are respectively sleeved on the front end outer walls of the screw rod 12, and the plurality of rollers 803 are respectively meshed and connected with the nuts 15, and the plurality of rollers 803 are respectively meshed and connected with the screw rod 12. The rear end of the screw rod 12 passes through the copper sleeve 11 and is sleeved with a tail connector 13.
[0027] The reverse planetary roller screw is composed of a screw 12, a roller 803 and a nut 15. The roller 803 is meshed with the screw 12 and the nut 15 at the same time. The frameless torque motor 9 is sleeved on the nut 15 to provide power for the rotation of the nut 15. There is an angular contact ball bearing 10 at the right end of the screw 12 and the left and right of the common speed connector 6. The common speed connector 6 is connected to the nut 15 by bolts. The common speed connector 6 is provided with an encoder mounting plate 17, a torque sensor mounting plate 18 and a torque sensor 19. The torque sensor mounting plate 18 is connected to the common speed connector 6 by screws. The left end of the torque sensor 19 is limited by an elastic retaining ring 5. There is an end cover at each of the front and rear ends before driving, which are the front end cover 1 and the rear end cover 14 respectively. The tension and pressure sensor 4 is connected to the front end cover 1, and the outside is wrapped with a head shell 2, and is connected to the front end cover 1 by bolts; the head and tail are provided with a head connector 3 and a tail connector 13 respectively.
[0028] It is composed of a frameless torque motor 9, which drives the rotor to rotate by energizing the frameless torque motor 9, eliminating the limitations of the traditional motor frame, making the entire power source more compact and lightweight. The screw 12, roller 803 and nut 15 form a reverse planetary roller screw, which converts the rotation of the nut 15 into the linear motion of the screw 12. This design effectively improves the transmission efficiency, and due to the planetary arrangement of the roller 803, a higher load-bearing capacity and smoother movement are achieved. The reverse planetary roller screw has a smaller volume and higher rigidity, which is suitable for occasions with limited space and high precision requirements. The encoder is arranged on the encoder mounting plate 17. The encoder is used to accurately measure the position and speed of the rotor and provide the necessary feedback signal for the closed-loop control system. The torque sensor 19 monitors the output torque in real time to ensure that the drive operates within a safe and effective working range. The tension and pressure sensor 4 is used to detect the external force acting on the drive to provide additional safety protection for the system. The phase, output torque and force conditions of the rotor system are fully detected, providing the drive with self-diagnosis and predictive maintenance functions, which helps to discover potential problems in advance and reduce downtime.
