[0054] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a motion device, which includes a first movable structure 10 and a second movable structure 20. Either the first movable end 11 of the first movable structure 10 or the second movable end 21 of the second movable structure 20 is movably disposed in a direction approaching or away from the other. The motion device also includes a gear 30, a first rack 40, and a second rack 50. Both the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 mesh with the gear 30. Both the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 extend along the extension direction from the first movable end 11 to the second movable end 21, and the teeth of the first rack 40 are arranged opposite to the teeth of the second rack 50. The first movable end 11 is connected to the first rack 40, and the second movable end 21 is connected to the second rack 50. The first movable structure 10 is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, and the second movable structure 20 is a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0056] The movement device provided by the embodiment one of the present application can ensure the precise synchronous movement of the first active end 11 of the first active structure 10 (pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) and the second active end 21 of the second active structure 20 (pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) even without the intervention of sensors or electrical elements, by adopting the design of the gear 30 meshing with the first rack 40 and the second rack 50. This mechanical synchronization method overcomes the limitations of electrical control in certain special environments, while avoiding the drawback of the decline in synchronization accuracy of mechanical synchronization mechanisms after long-term operation, ensuring the movement accuracy and equipment safety in complex or special environments. Such a setting is suitable for various types of pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, whether single-acting cylinders or double-acting cylinders, and can adapt to different stroke and load requirements by adjusting the meshing relationship of the gear 30 with the first rack 40 and the second rack 50. This flexibility makes the present solution widely applicable in different industrial fields. Moreover, the teeth of the first rack 40 and the teeth of the second rack 50 are oppositely arranged, and the precise meshing of the gear 30 ensures stability and reliability even under high speed, heavy load or complex working conditions, reduces vibration and displacement error during movement, and improves the working efficiency and product quality of the overall equipment. Therefore, the movement device provided by the present embodiment can solve the technical problem that the two active ends of the movement device in the prior art are difficult to accurately synchronize.
[0057] Specifically, the first active structure 10 and the second active structure 20 have the same cylinder diameter, the same stroke and the same load, but the moving directions of the first active end 11 and the second active end 21 are opposite.
[0058] Specifically, one of the first active end 11 and the second active end 21 is connected with one of the first rack 40 and the second rack 50, and the movement device further comprises a connecting structure 60, the connecting structure 60 is provided with a mounting slot 61, one of the first active end 11 and the second active end 21 is inserted in the mounting slot 61, and one of the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 is located on one side of the connecting structure 60 and connected with the connecting structure 60. By inserting and fixing the active end in the mounting slot 61 of the connecting structure 60, the structural stability between the active end and the rack can be effectively enhanced, the displacement and deformation during movement can be reduced, and thus the accuracy and reliability of the movement device can be improved. The design of the mounting slot 61 allows the first active end 11 or the second active end 21 to be easily inserted and fixed on the connecting structure 60, simplifying the installation steps and reducing the need for professional tools. At the same time, this modular connection method facilitates maintenance or replacement of parts, reduces equipment downtime and improves production efficiency.
[0059] It should be noted that the first movable end 11 is connected with the first rack 40, the first movable end 11 is inserted into the mounting groove 61, and the first rack 40 is located on one side of the connecting structure 60 and connected with the connecting structure 60; or the second movable end 21 is connected with the second rack 50, the second movable end 21 is inserted into the mounting groove 61, and the second rack 50 is located on one side of the connecting structure 60 and connected with the connecting structure 60.
[0060] Specifically, the connecting structure 60 includes a first connecting piece 62 and a second connecting piece 63, the mounting groove 61 is arranged on the first connecting piece 62, and one of the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 is connected with the second connecting piece 63. Wherein, the first connecting piece 62 and the second connecting piece 63 are arranged in extension along the extension direction of the first movable end 11 to the first rack 40, one of the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 is connected with one end of the first connecting piece 62, and the other end of the first connecting piece 62 is connected with the second connecting piece 63. By adopting such structure arrangement, the split type connection design improves the connection flexibility between the components of the motion device, so that the assembly can adapt to different sizes of pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, and the versatility and expandability of the motion device are enhanced. Ensuring that the first connecting piece 62 and the second connecting piece 63 extend along the extension direction of the first movable end 11 to the first rack 40 optimizes the force transmission path during the motion process, so that the pneumatic or hydraulic force can be smoothly transmitted to the gear 30 through the rack, and then transmitted to the rack on the other side and the pneumatic / hydraulic cylinder through the gear 30. This design improves the efficiency of force transmission and reduces energy loss. By accurately controlling the connection between the first connecting piece 62 and the second connecting piece 63, the vibration of the pneumatic cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder during the motion process can be effectively reduced, the close meshing between the rack and the gear 30 is maintained, and the stability and precision of the entire motion device are improved, so that the two movable ends can realize high-precision synchronous motion.
[0061] Specifically, the first connecting piece 62 includes a first connecting plate 621, a second connecting plate 622 and a third connecting plate 623 connected in sequence, the first connecting plate 621 and the third connecting plate 623 are oppositely arranged, and the first connecting plate 621, the second connecting plate 622 and the third connecting plate 623 surround the mounting groove 61.

[0063] Specifically, the second connecting piece 63 is connected to one of the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 near a side of the connecting structure 60; or, the second connecting piece 63 is connected to one of the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 away from a side of the connecting structure 60. With such a structure, the connection position of the second connecting piece 63 to the first rack 40 or the second rack 50 is flexible and adjustable, which increases the adaptability of the motion device in different application scenarios, and makes the connection mode of the rack to the pneumatic cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder more diversified, meeting the needs of different mechanical layouts.
[0064] In the embodiment, the connecting structure 60 is two, one of the two connecting structures 60 is connected to the first rack 40, and the other is connected to the second rack 50. The second connecting piece 63 of one of the two connecting structures 60 is connected to the first rack 40 away from a side of the one of the two connecting structures 60. The second connecting piece 63 of the other of the two connecting structures 60 is connected to the second rack 50 near a side of the other of the two connecting structures 60.
[0065] Specifically, the second connecting piece 63 is movably arranged in the direction of approaching or moving away from the first connecting piece 62. With such a structure, the second connecting piece 63 is movably arranged in the direction of approaching or moving away from the first connecting piece 62, and such dynamic adjustment capability enables the motion device to adapt to different working strokes and activity ranges, that is, even if the length of the rack is not enough, it can also be compensated by the movement of the second connecting piece 63, and the synchronous movement of the pneumatic cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder is maintained.
[0066] In the embodiment, the motion device further comprises a mounting member 70 arranged between the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20, the mounting member 70 is provided with an assembly slot 71 extending along the extension direction of the first movable end 11 to the second movable end 21, and the gear 30, at least part of the first rack 40 and at least part of the second rack 50 are arranged in the assembly slot 71. The assembly slot 71 has a first slot wall 711 and a second slot wall 712 arranged oppositely and spaced apart, at least part of the first rack 40 is arranged in abutment with the first slot wall 711, and at least part of the second rack 50 is arranged in abutment with the second slot wall 712. With such a structure, the assembly slot 71 of the mounting member 70 is designed to effectively integrate the layout of the gear 30, the first rack 40 and the second rack 50, not only saving the floor area of the overall motion device, but also providing good protection for these key motion components, avoiding direct damage to them by external environmental factors (such as dust, collision), prolonging the service life of the components. In addition, the first slot wall 711 and the second slot wall 712 in the assembly slot 71 limit the lateral displacement of the rack during movement by abutting the first rack 40 and the second rack 50, improving the meshing accuracy between the rack and the gear 30, thereby ensuring the stability and synchronization of the motion device during operation.
[0067] Specifically, the mounting member 70 comprises a first mounting plate 72, a second mounting plate 73 and a third mounting plate 74 connected in sequence, the first mounting plate 72 and the third mounting plate 74 are arranged oppositely, and the first mounting plate 72, the second mounting plate 73 and the third mounting plate 74 enclose the assembly slot 71; one side of the first mounting plate 72 close to the third mounting plate 74 forms the first slot wall 711, and one side of the third mounting plate 74 close to the first mounting plate 72 forms the second slot wall 712. With such a structure, not only the structural stability of the mounting member 70 is increased, but also the shape and size accuracy of the assembly slot 71 is ensured, providing a stable working environment for the rack and the gear 30.
[0068] Specifically, the first rack 40 is provided with a first guide member, and the first slot wall 711 is provided with a second guide member matched with the first guide member, and the first guide member and the second guide member extend along the extension direction of the first movable end 11 to the second movable end 21. In this way, the guide matching of the first guide member and the second guide member ensures the linear motion of the first rack 40 in the assembly slot 71, reduces the meshing error caused by rack deviation, and improves the motion accuracy. Moreover, the design of the guide member reduces the direct contact between the rack and the mounting member 70, reduces the wear during movement, thereby prolonging the service life of the first rack 40 and the mounting member 70 and reducing the maintenance cost.
[0069] Specifically, the second rack 50 is provided with a third guide, and the second slot wall 712 is provided with a fourth guide that is adaptively guided by the third guide. Both the third guide and the fourth guide extend along the extension direction of the first movable end 11 to the second movable end 21. In this way, the precise guidance of the second rack 50 is achieved, ensuring the linear motion of the second rack 50 on the second slot wall 712, forming symmetry with the motion of the first rack 40, and enhancing the synchronization performance of the entire motion device.
[0070] Specifically, the first guide and the third guide are both guide protrusions, and the second guide and the fourth guide are both guide grooves.
[0071] Specifically, the gear 30 is detachably arranged in the assembly slot 71, and one of the first mounting plate 72 and the second mounting plate 73 is movably arranged in the direction of approaching or moving away from the other. With such a structure, the detachable design of the gear 30 makes it easy to replace the worn or damaged gear 30 during maintenance and upgrading, without the need to disassemble the entire motion device, greatly reducing maintenance costs and time. At the same time, the movability of one of the first mounting plate 72 and the second mounting plate 73 provides the possibility of fine-tuning the position of the gear 30, which helps to maintain the precise engagement between the gear and the rack after a long time of operation, improving the precision and stability of the motion. Allowing the first mounting plate 72 or the second mounting plate 73 to move in the direction of approaching or moving away from the other under the guidance of the assembly slot 71, this design increases the flexibility of the structure, allowing the space in the assembly slot 71 to be fine-tuned without changing the layout of the main components, to accommodate gears 30 or racks of different sizes, while maintaining the structural stability and mechanical strength of the entire motion device.
[0072] In this embodiment, the mounting member 70 is provided with a lubrication channel that is in communication with a lubricating medium source and is in communication with the assembly slot 71. In this way, the lubrication channel provided on the mounting member 70 can ensure that key motion components such as the gear 30, the first rack 40, and the second rack 50 are adequately lubricated. This design not only improves the lubrication efficiency of the motion components, reducing friction and wear during motion, but also enhances the protection of the components, prolongs the service life of the motion device, and reduces maintenance costs. By being in communication with the lubricating medium source, automated lubrication can be achieved, reducing the need for manual lubrication and avoiding the risk of direct contact with the motion components by the operator, improving operational safety. At the same time, the automated lubrication system helps to maintain the stability and reliability of the motion device under various working conditions.
[0073] Specifically, the motion device further comprises a control member and a distance detection member connected with each other, the distance detection member is arranged on the mounting member 70, a detection end of the distance detection member is located on a side of the mounting member 70 away from the gear 30 and is used to detect the interval between the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21, the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20 are both connected with the control member, and the control member is used to control the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20 to be in a running state in which the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 are both moved or a static state in which the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 are both stationary according to the detection result of the distance detection member. By adopting such a structure, the interval between the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 can be monitored in real time through the distance detection member, and such a real-time monitoring capability provides key feedback information for the control member, so that the control member can accurately control the motion state of the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20 according to the real-time detection result, and the synchronization precision and control efficiency of the motion device are improved. This provides a safety mechanism for the motion device, and when it is detected that the interval between the movable ends exceeds a preset threshold, the control member can immediately stop the motion of the pneumatic cylinder or the hydraulic cylinder, preventing mechanical damage or operation accidents that may be caused by synchronization motion disorder, and ensuring the safety of the equipment and the operator.
[0074] Specifically, when the distance detection member detects that the interval between the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 is less than a preset threshold, the first movable structure 10 is in a first static state in which the first movable end 11 is stationary, and the second movable structure 20 is in a second static state in which the second movable end 21 is stationary; when the distance detection member detects that the interval between the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the first movable structure 10 is in a first running state in which the first movable end 11 is moved, and the second movable structure 20 is in a second running state in which the second movable end 21 is moved.
[0075] Specifically, the gear 30 is a helical gear, and the first rack 40 and the second rack 50 are both helical racks. In this way, the engagement between the helical gear and the helical rack can effectively improve the efficiency and stability of power transmission. Compared with a spur gear, the helical gear can reduce noise and vibration during engagement, so that the motion is more stable, and is particularly suitable for occasions requiring high-precision synchronous motion. During work, the tooth surface contact of the helical structure is gradual, which can avoid the instantaneous impact of a spur gear, prolong the service life of the rack and the gear 30, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the reliability and durability of the entire motion device.
[0076] Specifically, the motion device further comprises a visual detection member and a control member, the visual detection member is arranged on one side of the gear 30, a detection end of the visual detection member is arranged towards the gear 30 and is used to detect the meshing condition between the first rack 40 and the gear 30 and the meshing condition between the second rack 50 and the gear 30. The first movable structure 10, the second movable structure 20 and the visual detection member are all connected with the control member, so as to control the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20 to be in the running state of moving the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 or the static state of keeping the first movable end 11 and the second movable end 21 static according to the detection result of the visual detection member. By adopting such a structure, key information support is provided for the intelligent control of the motion device, and the precision of synchronous motion is ensured. When the visual detection member detects that there is an abnormal meshing condition between the rack and the gear 30 (such as rack deviation, gear wear, etc.), the control member can quickly respond according to the detection result, adjust the motion state of the first movable structure 10 and the second movable structure 20, and make it be in the static state, so as to prevent further mechanical failure and equipment damage, improve the operation safety and stability of the equipment. The monitoring data of the visual detection member can be used for intelligent maintenance of the equipment, the change trend of the meshing condition is analyzed, potential faults of the gear 30 and the rack are predicted, maintenance or replacement is carried out in advance, unplanned equipment downtime is avoided, maintenance cost is reduced, and the operation efficiency of the equipment is improved.
[0077] Specifically, the detection end of the visual detection device is equipped with a high-resolution industrial camera and a corresponding lighting system, such as an LED light source, to ensure that the details between the rack and the gear 30 are clearly captured. The detection end is set in a position that can fully cover the area of the gear 30 and the rack engaged with it, and the angle is ensured to ensure that the light can be perpendicular to the engagement surface of the rack and the gear 30, reducing the influence of shadows and uneven brightness on image quality. According to the running speed of the motion device, the capture frequency of the industrial camera is set to ensure that each engagement of the rack and the gear 30 can be recorded and analyzed. Using image processing techniques such as gain control, image sharpening, background subtraction, etc., to ensure that the captured images are clear and have high contrast, facilitating subsequent analysis. Through image processing algorithms such as feature point detection, image alignment technology, to ensure that each captured image can be accurately aligned and preprocessed, removing noise in the image and improving analysis accuracy. According to the obtained image, by identifying the relative position change of the rack edge and the gear 30 tooth surface, it is judged whether the rack is offset, to ensure the accuracy of synchronous motion. According to the obtained image, analyze the profile change of the gear 30 tooth surface, identify the degree of wear, and warn of possible gear damage that may affect synchronous motion performance. When serious engagement abnormalities are detected, such as severe rack offset or severe gear 30 wear, the control device should immediately stop the motion of the pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder to avoid further equipment damage.

[0078] Embodiment two of the present application provides a machine tool, which includes the motion device provided in embodiment one.
[0079] The machine tool provided by the second embodiment of the present application ensures that the first movable end 11 of the first movable structure 10 (pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) and the second movable end 21 of the second movable structure 20 (pneumatic cylinder or hydraulic cylinder) maintain precise synchronous movement even without the intervention of sensors or electrical elements, through the design of the gear 30 meshing with the first rack 40 and the second rack 50. This mechanical synchronization method overcomes the limitations of electrical control in certain special environments, while avoiding the drawback of the mechanical synchronization mechanism that the synchronization accuracy decreases after a long time of operation, ensuring the movement accuracy and equipment safety in complex or special environments. Such a setup is suitable for various types of pneumatic cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, whether single-acting cylinders or double-acting cylinders, and can adapt to different stroke and load requirements by adjusting the meshing relationship of the gear 30 with the first rack 40 and the second rack 50. This flexibility makes the present solution widely applicable in different industrial fields. Moreover, the teeth of the first rack 40 are oppositely arranged with the teeth of the second rack 50, plus the precise meshing of the gear 30, ensuring stability and reliability even under high speed, heavy load or complex working conditions, reducing vibration and displacement error during movement, and improving the overall equipment work efficiency and product quality. Therefore, through the machine tool provided by the present embodiment, the technical problem that the two movable ends of the movement device in the prior art are difficult to accurately synchronize movement can be solved.
[0080] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects: In the case where sensors and other electrical elements are not supported, two pneumatic / hydraulic cylinders with the same cylinder diameter, the same stroke and the same load but opposite directions are made to realize synchronous movement, such as double-door driving cylinders.
