Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of actuators, in particular to an actuator with a transparent automobile shell capable of being visually detected. Background Art

[0002] With the advent of the new energy vehicle era, the requirements for automotive electrification are getting higher and higher. Most automotive components require electric control, and the functions and application range of actuators are also constantly innovating. In particular, how to more quickly and directly determine whether it is a mechanical problem or an electronic problem in an application is a major problem. The actuators currently on the market cannot be judged intuitively, and complex electrical tests are required to infer whether it is a mechanical problem or an electrical problem.

[0003] The actuators in the existing market generally need to control the rotation of the output shaft to control the opening of the valve. However, after long-term use, the lubrication of the contact part between the output shaft and the actuator is easy to reduce, affecting the normal use of the actuator. In addition, the vibration force generated when the car is driving acts on the actuator, which is easy to cause damage to the actuator. In addition, the actuators in the existing market are mainly black shells, which can meet functional requirements, but cannot intuitively judge the problems in the actuator. For this reason, we propose an actuator with a transparent car shell that can be intuitively detected. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an actuator with a transparent shell for automobiles that can be visually detected, comprising an actuator body, a connecting shell is fixedly installed near the lower position of the outer wall of the actuator body, a connecting column is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting shell, an output shaft is movably inserted inside the connecting column, a valve is fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft, a lubrication mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the connecting shell, and a protective mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the actuator body;

[0006] The lubrication mechanism includes an oil storage tank and an L-shaped support plate. The oil storage tank is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the connecting shell. The L-shaped support plate is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the connecting shell near the bottom surface. The upper end surface of the oil storage tank is fixedly connected with an oil filling pipe.

[0010] A plurality of groups of nozzles are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the annular bin, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the oil storage tank, and one end of the connecting pipe away from the oil storage tank is arranged inside the annular bin.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A liquid pump is arranged inside the oil storage tank, and an output end of the liquid pump is connected to one end of the connecting pipe.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The protection mechanism includes two groups of protection plates 1 and two groups of protection plates 2. The two groups of protection plates 1 are both arranged outside the actuator body near the upper position, and the two groups of protection plates 2 are both arranged outside the actuator body near the lower position.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The inner walls of the two groups of protective plates are fixedly connected with several groups of telescopic push rods one near the middle position, and the ends of the several groups of telescopic push rods one away from the protective plates are fixedly connected to the actuator body; the inner walls of the protective plates are rotatably connected with several groups of spring sheets one, and the ends of the several groups of spring sheets one away from the protective plates are rotatably connected to the actuator body.

A plurality of groups of spring sheets 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second protective plate, and the ends of the plurality of groups of spring sheets 2 away from the second protective plate are rotatably connected to the actuator body.

[0019] Effective effects:

[0020] The utility model provides an actuator with a transparent car shell that can be visually detected. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] In the actuator whose transparent shell can be visually inspected, the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank is pumped into the annular bin through the connecting pipe by the liquid pump in the lubrication mechanism, and is sprayed onto the output shaft and the connecting column by each group of nozzles, which can lubricate the output shaft and avoid poor rotation due to insufficient lubrication between the two during long-term use, thus affecting the normal use of the actuator.

[0022] In the actuator whose transparent shell of the automobile can be visually detected, when the vibration generated by the driving of the automobile acts on the outer wall of the actuator body, the protective plate one moves closer to the outer wall of the actuator body, and under the action of the elastic force of the buffer spring, the telescopic push rod one extends, pushing the protective plate one to move away from the actuator body. At the same time, the elastic force of several groups of spring sheets one can also drive the protective plate one to move away from the actuator body, effectively reducing the vibration force on the upper part of the actuator body. Similarly, the vibration force on the lower part of the actuator body acts on the protective plate two. Through the telescopic push rod two, the buffer spring sleeved on the telescopic push rod two and the elastic force of each group of spring sheets two, the vibration force on the lower part of the actuator body can be well reduced, thereby effectively reducing the vibration force generated during the driving of the car acting on the actuator body, causing influence or even damage to the actuator body, and effectively extending the service life of the actuator.

[0023] The actuator of the car's transparent shell can be visually inspected. The shell of the actuator body is made of transparent material, which greatly improves the engineers' more intuitive judgment on whether there is a problem with the internal structure of the actuator, and can quickly make modifications and countermeasures, thereby greatly reducing the subsequent maintenance and problem-solving time and cost.
