The multiple pistons are gradually inflated and deflated through the air distribution valve, thereby driving the output shaft to rotate. In this scheme, the output shaft is perpendicular to the plane formed by the multiple pistons, and the multiple pistons are arranged equidistantly in a ring with the output shaft as the center. The overall occupancy of the horizontal and vertical space is relatively large, which is insufficient. Summary of the invention

During actual use, the main components of the pneumatic motor (main piston drive cylinder, auxiliary piston drive cylinder / drive spring, crankshaft) are roughly located in the same plane and will not occupy a large amount of space in multiple directions at the same time, and has the advantage of a compact overall structure.
[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] An intelligent valve-controlled pneumatic motor includes a main piston drive cylinder and a drive spring or a secondary piston drive cylinder equipped with the main piston drive cylinder. The inflation and deflation processes of the main piston drive cylinder and the secondary piston drive cylinder are coordinated and controlled by multiple independent intelligent on-off valves, or uniformly controlled by a switching device; the combination of the main piston drive cylinder and the drive spring, and the combination of the main piston drive cylinder and the secondary piston drive cylinder, both achieve power output by driving the equipped crankshaft to rotate through alternating extension and contraction.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, an intelligent valve-controlled pneumatic motor is provided. The pneumatic motor uses the alternating extension and retraction of the main piston drive cylinder and the auxiliary piston drive cylinder or the drive spring to drive the crankshaft to rotate to achieve power output. During actual use, the main components of the pneumatic motor (main piston drive cylinder, auxiliary piston drive cylinder / drive spring, crankshaft) are roughly located in the same plane, and will not occupy a large amount of space in multiple directions at the same time, and has the advantage of a compact overall structure.
[0007] The present invention is further configured as follows: when the inflation and deflation processes of the main piston driving cylinder and the auxiliary piston driving cylinder are collaboratively controlled by multiple independent intelligent on-off valves, the controller controls the on-off of the corresponding intelligent on-off valve according to the relationship between the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the piston driving cylinder and the positive work stroke of the piston during the expansion and work of the gas in the piston driving cylinder.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the controller reasonably adjusts the opening and closing time and duration of the intelligent on-off valve on the air inlet and outlet pipes of the piston drive cylinder, which not only satisfies the stable outward power output of the pneumatic motor, but also improves the conversion rate of energy in the air source.
[0009] The present invention is further configured as follows: in the combination of the main piston driving cylinder and the driving spring, the main piston driving cylinder and the driving spring are arranged side by side or respectively on both sides of the crankshaft; when the main piston driving cylinder and the driving spring are arranged side by side, the driving spring is always in a compressed state; when the main piston driving cylinder and the driving spring are respectively arranged on both sides of the crankshaft, the driving spring is always in a stretched state.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a variety of combinations of the main piston drive cylinder and the drive spring are provided.
[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: the on-off of the intake pipe and the exhaust pipe at the bottom of the main piston driving cylinder is controlled by a switching device, which includes a sleeve and a switching member slidably arranged in the axial through hole of the sleeve, an inner through hole is provided on the switching member, and two transverse through holes corresponding to the inner through hole are vertically arranged on the sleeve, the upper end of the switching member is hinged to the crankshaft, and the rotation of the crankshaft can drive the switching member to slide up and down in the cavity of the sleeve, thereby realizing the alternating on-off of the intake pipe and the exhaust pipe, and the other end of the intake pipe is connected to the air source.

Through the alternating expansion and contraction of the main piston drive cylinder and the drive spring, the continuous rotation of the crankshaft can be achieved, and the continuously rotating crankshaft can continuously operate the switching device 1 to charge and discharge the cylinder body of the main piston drive cylinder. This solution is novel and ingenious, so that the combination of the main piston drive cylinder, the drive spring and the switching device 1 form a perfect closed loop. As long as the on-off valve on the intake pipe is opened to keep the intake pipe in a state where high-pressure gas can be provided to the main piston drive cylinder, the pneumatic motor can continuously output power and the switching device can be automatically switched, which has the advantages of low manufacturing cost and compact overall structure.

[0017] The bottoms of the main piston drive cylinder and the auxiliary piston drive cylinder are provided with an air intake pipe and an air exhaust pipe, wherein the air intake pipe and the air exhaust pipe of one piston drive cylinder are respectively connected to the openings of two transverse through holes arranged vertically on one side of the second sleeve body, and the air intake pipe and the air exhaust pipe of the other piston drive cylinder are respectively connected to the openings of two transverse through holes arranged vertically on the other side of the second sleeve body, and the transverse through holes connected to the air intake pipes and the air exhaust pipes of the two piston drive cylinders are staggered front to back, and when the air intake pipe of one piston drive cylinder is connected to the upper transverse through hole, the air intake pipe of the other piston drive cylinder is connected to the lower transverse through hole;
[0018] On both sides of the second sleeve body, the openings of the transverse through holes that are not connected to the air inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe on the same side, but correspond to the air inlet pipe on the other side, are connected to the air outlet pipe of the air source through two branch pipes; on both sides of the second sleeve body, the openings of the transverse through holes that are not connected to any of the aforementioned pipelines are the exhaust ports of the two piston drive cylinders.
[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, a switching device 2 is provided which is specially used in the combination of the main piston drive cylinder and the auxiliary piston drive cylinder. The switching operation of the switching device 2 for charging and discharging the two piston drive cylinders is directly realized by the crankshaft driven by the alternating extension and retraction of the two piston drive cylinders. During use, the alternating charging and discharging of the two piston drive cylinders can be realized by only continuously outputting high-pressure gas from the gas source. During the alternating charging and discharging of the two piston drive cylinders, the rotation of the crankshaft can be realized. The rotating crankshaft can not only output power, but also automatically realize the switching operation of the switching device 2. This scheme is novel and ingenious.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] Embodiment 1:
[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an intelligent valve-controlled pneumatic motor includes a main piston drive cylinder 2 and a drive spring 5. The inflation and deflation process of the main piston drive cylinder 2 can be coordinated and controlled by multiple independent intelligent on-off valves, or can be uniformly controlled by a switching device 1. The combination of the main piston drive cylinder 2 and the drive spring 5 drives the crankshaft 3 to rotate through the alternating expansion and contraction of the two, thereby realizing power output.
[0050] The main piston driving cylinder 2 and the driving spring 5 are arranged side by side or respectively on both sides of the crankshaft 3; when the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the driving spring 5 are arranged side by side, the driving spring 5 is always in a compressed state; when the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the driving spring 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the crankshaft 3, the driving spring 5 is always in a stretched state.
[0051] When the air inlet pipe 24 and the exhaust pipe 25 at the bottom of the main piston drive cylinder 2 are controlled by a plurality of independently configured intelligent on-off valves, the controller controls the on-off of the corresponding intelligent on-off valve according to the relationship between the internal and external pressure difference of the main piston drive cylinder 2 and the positive work stroke of the piston 21 during the gas expansion and work of the main piston drive cylinder 2. The piston positive work stroke ratio is the ratio of the actual positive work stroke of the piston to the maximum stroke of the piston drive cylinder after a single inflation. For example, when the gas is less, the piston is first directly pushed up a section in the piston drive cylinder by the gas expansion, and then moves up a section by the inertia of the piston. Then, the distance directly pushed by the gas expansion is the positive work stroke, and the distance only pushed up by inertia is the negative work stroke. In the negative work stroke, the gas does not do work to the outside, but consumes energy. In this case, the piston positive work stroke ratio is less than 1; only when the piston reaches the upper end of the maximum stroke of the piston drive cylinder under the pushing action of the gas expansion, the piston positive work stroke ratio is equal to 1. In general, in the piston positive work stroke, the pressure inside the piston drive cylinder is greater than the external pressure.
[0052] When the opening and closing of the air intake pipe 24 and the exhaust pipe 25 at the bottom of the main piston driving cylinder 2 is controlled by the switching device 1, the switching device 1 includes a sleeve 41' and a switching member 42' slidably arranged in the axial through hole of the sleeve 41', the switching member 42' is provided with an inner through hole 421, and the sleeve 41' is vertically arranged with two transverse through holes 411 corresponding to the inner through hole 421. The upper end of the switching member 42' is hinged to the crankshaft 3, and the rotation of the crankshaft 3 can drive the switching member 42' to slide up and down in the cavity of the sleeve 41', thereby realizing the alternating opening and closing of the air intake pipe 24 and the exhaust pipe 25. The other end of the air intake pipe 24 is connected to the gas source through the sleeve 41', and the gas source provides high-pressure gas to the sleeve 41' through the gas outlet pipe with an intelligent on-off valve.
[0053] The inner cavity of the sleeve 41' is a wedge-shaped inner cavity, and the switching piece 42' is a wedge-shaped block corresponding to the wedge-shaped inner cavity. The two slopes of the wedge-shaped block are penetrated by an inner through hole 421. The side wall of the inner cavity of the sleeve 41' where the slope is set is penetrated by a transverse through hole 411. The inner cavity of the sleeve 41' is provided with a pushing structure for pushing the switching piece 42' toward the two slopes of the inner cavity. The pushing structure includes a pressing block 44 and a pressing spring 45 that can push the pressing block 44 laterally. The outer surface of the pressing block 44 and the two slopes of the inner cavity of the sleeve 41' form a channel for the wedge block to slide.
[0054] The upper end of the switching member 42′ is hinged to the pull rod 43, and the upper end of the pull rod 43 is slidably connected to the crankshaft 3 through a bar hole 431. Blocks 432 are provided on the edges of the two ends of the bar hole 431. The bar hole 431 is parallel to the axis of the pull rod 43, and the rod body of the crankshaft 3 is provided with push protrusions 31 corresponding to the two blocks 432.
[0055] How it works:
[0056] When the inflation and deflation of the main piston drive cylinder 2 are controlled by multiple independent intelligent on-off valves, the inlet pipe 24 and the exhaust pipe 25 of the main piston drive cylinder 2 are respectively provided with independent intelligent on-off valves. The controller can realize the inflation and deflation of the main piston drive cylinder 2 by independently controlling the on-off of the two intelligent on-off valves. The inflation and deflation processes are not simultaneous. The specific control method is as follows:
[0057] 1. Startup: In the initial state, the controller first calculates the basic inflation volume according to basic parameters such as the pressure in the air source 1 and the size of the inflation chamber in the main piston drive cylinder 2 (after the pneumatic motor is started, except for the initial calculation of the basic inflation volume, the basic inflation volume will not be calculated repeatedly later).
[0058] 2. Inflation: The controller first instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the exhaust pipe 25 to close, and then instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the intake pipe 24 to perform the inflation operation. As the gas is filled in, the piston 21 gradually moves upward along the stroke from the initial position to perform work. After the inflation is completed, the controller instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the intake pipe 24 to close. In this process,
[0059] When the injected gas makes the piston positive stroke ratio less than 1, the controller instructs the corresponding intelligent on-off valve to vent the gas in the main piston driving cylinder 2, and the next gas volume injected into the main piston driving cylinder 2 increases accordingly until the piston positive stroke ratio is equal to or approximately equal to 1 (when the piston moves to the highest point, the positive stroke ratio is judged to be approximately equal to 1 based on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the piston driving cylinder. If this pressure difference is within the preset range, it means that the positive stroke ratio is approximately equal to 1. If it deviates from this range, it means that the positive stroke ratio is not approximately equal to 1), and when the pressure difference between the internal pressure of the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the pressure greater than the external atmospheric pressure reaches the preset range (0 Pa-100 Pa, 0 Pa-1000 Pa or 0 Pa-3000 Pa), the controller stops adjusting the inflation.
[0060] When the gas charged makes the piston positive stroke ratio equal to or approximately equal to 1, but the pressure difference between the pressure inside the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the external atmospheric pressure exceeds the preset range value (0 Pa-100 Pa, 0 Pa-1000 Pa or 0 Pa-3000 Pa), the next amount of gas charged into the main piston driving cylinder 2 is reduced accordingly until the piston positive stroke ratio is equal to or approximately equal to 1, and the pressure difference between the pressure inside the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the external atmospheric pressure reaches the preset range value (0 Pa-100 Pa, 0 Pa-1000 Pa or 0 Pa-3000 Pa), the controller stops adjusting the inflation.
[0061] When the gas charged makes the piston positive stroke ratio equal to or approximately equal to 1, and the pressure difference between the pressure in the main piston driving cylinder 2 and the external atmospheric pressure is within the preset range (0 Pa-100 Pa, 0 Pa-1000 Pa or 0 Pa-3000 Pa), the controller will no longer repeatedly calculate and adjust the next inflation amount, but directly continue to repeat the last inflation method;
[0062] 3. Deflation: As long as any of the following conditions is met, the controller instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the exhaust pipe 25 to perform the deflation operation.
[0063] a. When the gas charged makes the piston positive work stroke ratio less than 1, when the piston 21 finishes its positive work, the controller immediately instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the exhaust pipe 25 to perform the deflation operation;
[0064] b. When the injected gas makes the piston positive stroke ratio equal to 1 or approximately equal to 1, and the piston 21 reaches the maximum stroke position of the main piston drive cylinder 2, the controller immediately instructs the intelligent on-off valve on the exhaust pipe 25 to perform the deflation operation.
[0065] For scenarios that require high power, deflate at the highest point of the piston drive cylinder stroke and inflate at the lowest point. The amount of inflation each time is adjusted according to the piston movement speed. If the speed is lower than the expected value, increase the inflation time until the expected speed is reached.
[0066] When the inflation and deflation of the main piston drive cylinder 2 are uniformly controlled by the switching device 1, the gas source 1 is first placed in a state where the main piston drive cylinder 2 can be inflated at any time. When the pull rod 43 is moved up to the highest position by the push protrusion 31, the inner through hole 421 of the switching member 1 42' is connected to the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe 24 of the gas source, and the high-pressure gas in the gas source instantly fills the cylinder body of the main piston drive cylinder 2. In this process, the piston 21 of the main piston drive cylinder 2 moves up, causing the driving spring 5 to be further compressed. When the piston 21 of the main piston drive cylinder 2 moves up to the highest position, the pull rod 43 is moved down to the lowest position by the push protrusion 31. At this time, the inner through hole 421 of the switching member 1 42' is connected to the outlet pipe 25. Under the action of the thrust of the driving spring 5, the high-pressure gas in the cylinder body of the main piston drive cylinder 2 is discharged. The main piston drive cylinder 2 and the driving spring 5 reciprocate and expand and contract in this way, so that the crankshaft 3 can be driven to rotate uninterruptedly to achieve power output.
[0067] Embodiment 2:
[0068] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, another intelligent valve-controlled pneumatic motor includes a main piston drive cylinder 2 and a secondary piston drive cylinder 2', which are arranged side by side. The inflation and deflation processes of the main piston drive cylinder 2 and the secondary piston drive cylinder 2' can be coordinated and controlled by multiple independent intelligent on-off valves, or can be uniformly controlled by a switching device 2. The combination of the main piston drive cylinder 2 and the secondary piston drive cylinder 2' drives the crankshaft 3 to rotate through the alternating extension and contraction of the two piston drive cylinders, thereby realizing power output.
