[0069] The spring in the existing single-acting fork actuator is limited by the compression stroke, and can only be slender, such as the stroke of the push rod is 200mm, and the spring can only be compressed by 200mm; and since the compression stroke of the spring in this embodiment is reduced by a factor of two, a relatively short spring can be used, and the length is greatly shortened under the condition that the spring output force and torque remain unchanged.

[0070] In this scheme, the hydraulic proportional transmission based double-piston pneumatic fork actuator further nests the outer piston ring in the inner piston, and places the spring and the inner and outer pistons on the same side, further shortening the overall length of the actuator, improving the space utilization, and effectively reducing the use cost.

[0071] The embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same and similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed in the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the related parts can be referred to the method part.

[0072] The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to make or use the application. Modifications of these embodiments will occur to persons of skill in the art, and that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that do not depart from the true spirit and scope of the application.
