[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electric cylinder of this embodiment includes: a motor, a reducer 1, a motion unit 2, a transmission assembly 3 and a potentiometer 4. The reducer 1 is connected to the motor in a transmission manner, and the motion unit 2 is connected to the reducer 1. When the motor is started, the motion unit 2 can be moved through the reducer 1. The transmission assembly 3 is connected to the reducer 1, and the potentiometer 4 is connected to the transmission assembly 3.

[0029] The reducer 1 includes: a front housing 11, a rear housing 12 and a reduction gear 13. The front housing 11 is connected to the rear housing 12 to form a storage space. The reduction gear 13 is arranged in the storage space. The reduction gear 13 is connected to the motion unit 2, and the reduction gear 13 is connected to the transmission assembly 3. A potentiometer mounting plate 6 is provided on the side of the rear housing 12 away from the reduction gear 13, and the potentiometer 4 is mounted on the potentiometer mounting plate 6. A protective cover 7 is also connected to the rear housing 12. A wiring harness connector 8 is also provided on the rear housing 12, and the potentiometer 4 is connected to the controller through the wiring harness connector 8. The connecting wire at one end of the wiring harness connector 8 passes through the protective cover 7 and is connected to the external controller. The protective cover 7 is used to protect the potentiometer 4 and the transmission assembly 3.

[0030] The motion unit 2 includes a screw assembly and a piston rod, and the reduction gear 13 is connected to the screw assembly. When the motor is started, the reduction gear 13 can drive the screw of the screw assembly to rotate. The rotation of the screw causes the nut of the screw assembly to move linearly, and the nut can drive the piston rod to move linearly, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder.

[0031] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 3 includes: a worm 31 and a worm wheel 32, the worm 31 is connected to the reducer 1, the worm wheel 32 is meshed with the worm 31 for transmission, and the worm wheel 32 is connected to the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 4. The worm 31 is connected to the reduction gear 13. When the electric cylinder is working, the reduction gear 13, the lead screw and the worm 31 rotate synchronously. At this time, the rotation of the worm 31 will be transmitted to the potentiometer 4 through the worm wheel 32. That is, the potentiometer 4 can detect the number of rotations of the worm 31, and the number of rotations of the worm 31 is the same as the number of rotations of the lead screw. In this embodiment, the potentiometer 4 is a resistor feedback type potentiometer. The number of rotations detected by the potentiometer 4 can be converted into a resistance value for the controller. The potentiometer 4 sends the resistance value to the controller, and the controller can obtain the real-time motion stroke of the electric cylinder.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the potentiometer 4 is a voltage feedback type potentiometer, and the electric cylinder further includes a step-down power supply board 5, which is connected to the potentiometer 4. The step-down power supply board 5 can adapt to the voltage of different working vehicles, and the potentiometer 4 does not need to be connected to other voltages. The voltage on the working vehicle can be converted into the voltage required by the potentiometer 4 after passing through the step-down power supply board 5.

[0034] Embodiment 3

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the transmission assembly 3 includes a connecting shaft 33, a feedback gear 34, a gear set 35 and a ring gear 36, the connecting shaft 33 is connected to the reducer 1, the feedback gear 34 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 33, the gear set 35 is meshed with the feedback gear 34 for transmission, the ring gear 36 is meshed with the gear set 35 for transmission, and the ring gear 36 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 4. The gear set 35 includes a front cover plate 351, a primary gear 352, a secondary gear 353, a tertiary gear 354 and a rear cover plate 355, the primary gear 352, the secondary gear 353 and the tertiary gear 354 are all located between the front cover plate 351 and the rear cover plate 355, the primary gear 352 is meshed with the feedback gear 34, the secondary gear 353 is meshed with the primary gear 352, the tertiary gear 354 is meshed with the secondary gear 353, and the ring gear 36 is meshed with the tertiary gear 354.

[0036] That is to say, the connecting shaft 33 is connected to the reduction gear 13. When the electric cylinder is working, the reduction gear 13, the connecting shaft 33 and the lead screw rotate synchronously. When the connecting shaft 33 rotates, it drives the gear set 35 to transmit, and then drives the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 4 to rotate through the ring gear 36. The potentiometer 4 can detect the number of rotations of the connecting shaft 33, and the number of rotations can be converted into a resistance value and sent to the controller, so that the controller can obtain the real-time motion stroke of the electric cylinder.

[0037] When the aerial work vehicle is lifted back and forth, a transmission structure of a worm 31 and a worm wheel 32 is used. Due to the existence of backlash, the value of the potentiometer 4 may fluctuate, which in turn causes the movement stroke error of the dual electric cylinder to exceed an acceptable range. Therefore, this embodiment uses a gear transmission structure to improve the deficiencies of the worm wheel 32 and the worm 31, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the feedback of the potentiometer 4.

[0038] Embodiment 4

[0039] like Figure 6As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that the potentiometer 4 is a voltage feedback type potentiometer, and the electric cylinder further includes a step-down power supply board 5, which is connected to the potentiometer 4. The step-down power supply board 5 can adapt to the voltage of different working vehicles, and the potentiometer 4 does not need to be connected to other voltages. The voltage on the working vehicle can be converted into the voltage required by the potentiometer 4 after passing through the step-down power supply board 5.

[0040] To sum up, the electric cylinder of the utility model, by arranging a potentiometer 4 on the electric cylinder, the potentiometer 4 can detect the number of rotations of the screw rod and feed back to the controller, so that the two electric cylinders of the lifting aerial work vehicle can be controlled synchronously, thereby being able to more accurately control the movement stroke of the two electric cylinders, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the table of the lifting aerial work vehicle, increasing the lifting speed of the lifting aerial work vehicle, reducing noise, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0041] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the utility model, the relevant staff can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the utility model through the above description. The technical scope of the utility model is not limited to the content of the specification, and its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
