DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0019] First embodiment:

[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the first embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the first embodiment of the utility model.

[0021] The utility model provides a limiting mechanism for an electric actuator, comprising a housing 101, a rotating mechanism and a protective cover 102, wherein the rotating mechanism comprises a first gear 103, a second gear 104, a first spring 105, a rotating shaft 106, two connecting rods, a rotating ring 107, two terminals 108 and a reset assembly, wherein the reset assembly comprises a central axis 109 and a second spring 110, and the connecting rod comprises a connecting rod body 111 and a connecting block 112. The above-mentioned scheme solves the problem that the cam is offset by force and drives the baffle to move, so that the terminal 108 is connected, and the baffle and the terminal 108 will wear out after long-term use, thereby deteriorating the limiting effect of the electric actuator.

[0022] According to the present specific embodiment, the first gear 103 is rotatably connected to the housing 101 and is located at one side of the housing 101. The second gear 104 is rotatably connected to the housing 101 and is located at one side of the first gear 103. The first gear 103 is engaged with the second gear 104. One end of the rotating shaft 106 is fixedly connected to the second gear 104. The other end of the rotating shaft 106 is rotatably connected to the housing 101 and is located below the second gear 104. The two terminals 108 are fixedly connected to the housing 101 and are arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 106 in opposite directions. One end of the first spring 105 is fixedly connected to the second gear 104, and the other end of the first spring 105 is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 107. The rotating ring 107 and the first spring 105 are both sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 106. The two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the rotating ring 107 and are located on both sides of the rotating ring 107. The first gear 103 drives the second gear 104 to rotate, so that the rotating ring 107 rotates accordingly. The two connecting rods contact the corresponding terminals 108, and the second gear 104 continues to rotate. The first spring 105 twists to prevent the connecting rods from being broken.

[0023] Among them, the central axis 109 is fixedly connected to the first gear 103 and is located below the first gear 103. One end of the second spring 110 is fixedly connected to the first gear 103, and the other end of the second spring 110 is fixedly connected to the housing 101 and is sleeved on the surface of the central axis 109. When the first gear 103 rotates, the second spring 110 twists. After the moving part leaves, the second spring 110 twists to drive the first gear 103 to rotate, so that the second gear 104 rotates, and the connecting rod leaves the terminal 108.

[0024] Secondly, the connecting block 112 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod body 111 and is located at one end of the connecting rod body 111. The connecting block 112 is adapted to the terminal 108. When the connecting rod rotates, the connecting block 112 contacts the terminal 108 to connect the two terminals 108.

[0025] Meanwhile, the protective cover 102 is fixedly connected to the housing 101 and is located at one end of the housing 101 . The provision of the protective cover 102 facilitates external electrical connection with the terminal 108 .

[0026] When the utility model is used, the moving part moves, and the first gear 103 drives the second gear 104 to rotate, so that the rotating ring 107 rotates accordingly, and the two connecting rod bodies 111 contact the corresponding terminals 108 to connect the two terminals 108. The second gear 104 continues to rotate, and the first spring 105 twists to prevent the connecting rod body 111 from being broken. When the first gear 103 rotates, the second spring 110 twists. After the moving part leaves, the second spring 110 twists to drive the first gear 103 to rotate, so that the second gear 104 rotates, and the connecting rod body 111 leaves the terminal 108.

[0027] Second embodiment:

[0028] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the second embodiment of the utility model. Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the second embodiment of the utility model.

[0029] On the basis of the first embodiment, the utility model provides an electric actuator limiting mechanism, which also includes a transmission assembly, wherein the transmission assembly includes a rotating block 201, two rotating wheels 202 and a limiting block 203. Through the arrangement of the above structure, the problem of excessive rotation of the first gear 103 due to inertia when the second spring 110 drives the first gear 103 to reset is solved.

[0030] According to this specific embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a rotating block 201, two rotating wheels 202 and a limit block 203. The rotating block 201 is fixedly connected to the first gear 103 and is located above the housing 101. The rotating block 201 is arranged in a triangular shape. The two rotating wheels 202 are fixedly connected to the rotating block 201 and are located at both ends of the rotating block 201. The limit block 203 is fixedly connected to the housing 101 and is located on one side of the rotating block 201. The limit block 203 is in contact with the rotating block 201, and the moving part moves and presses on the corresponding rotating wheel 202. The rotating block 201 drives the first gear 103 to rotate. When the first gear 103 is reset, the limit block 203 blocks one side of the rotating block 201.

[0031] When the utility model is used, the moving part moves and presses on the corresponding rotating wheel 202, and the rotating block 201 drives the first gear 103 to rotate, so that the connecting rod body 111 drives the connecting block 112 to connect the two terminals 108. When the first gear 103 is reset, the limit block 203 blocks one side of the rotating block 201 to prevent the first gear 103 from excessive rotation.
