Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of linear actuators, and in particular to a bidirectional extending linear actuator based on hollow-solid lead screw transmission. Background Art

[0002] The working stroke of conventional linear actuators is often limited by their dimensions. For applications requiring a larger working stroke, a larger linear actuator must be selected to ensure the desired dexterity within the mechanism's workspace. However, oversizing a linear actuator can lead to assembly difficulties and reduced component life. Therefore, in certain specific applications, the use of a multi-stage linear actuator is essential.

[0003] In order to increase the stroke of existing linear actuators, most of them use a multi-stage rod that is extended sequentially to increase the working stroke of the linear actuator. Although this method can significantly increase the stroke of the linear actuator, the speed of the linear actuator is not improved because the rods at each stage are extended sequentially. In addition, the large size of this type of linear actuator makes it difficult to install and use, and has certain limitations.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to design a linear actuator that does not extend sequentially but can still improve its working stroke and working speed. It has certain practical value and research significance. Summary of the Invention
