AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing electric cylinders cannot automatically return to the normally closed brake state when the power is off, which makes them inconvenient to use.

Method used

Design an energy storage electric cylinder that uses a motor to drive a reducer to rotate a ball screw, compressing an energy storage spring. This causes the ball nut to push a push rod to store energy. The ball screw also utilizes its non-self-locking function to automatically return to its original position when power is off, thus achieving normally closed braking.

Benefits of technology

In the event of a power outage, the electric cylinder can automatically return to the normally closed position of the brake, ensuring a long-term braking effect and improving the reliability and convenience of the electric cylinder.
