[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment

[0029] Refer to Figures 1-4, An embodiment provided by the present utility model: A linear motor dedicated for a dispensing machine, comprising a dispensing machine body 1. The dispensing machine body 1 is the main structure of the dispensing machine, carrying all functional components and providing a stable working platform for the dispensing operation. Above the dispensing machine body 1, a motor structure 3 is fixedly arranged. The motor structure 3 is the core driving part of the dispensing machine, responsible for providing precise linear motion to achieve high-precision dispensing operation. The motor structure 3 includes a linear motor body 301. The linear motor body 301 directly converts electrical energy into linear motion without an intermediate conversion link, thus achieving motion control with high precision and high response speed. Around the outer surface of the linear motor body 301, a protective shell 2 is fixedly arranged. The protective shell 2 protects the linear motor body 301 from the influence of the external environment and provides structural support to ensure the stable operation of the motor. Around the lower end face of the linear motor body 301, a rubber seat 302 is snap-connected. The rubber seat 302 plays a role in shock absorption and sound insulation, reducing the vibration and noise during the operation of the linear motor body 301 and improving the operation stability of the equipment. At the center position of the lower end face of the linear motor body 301, a connecting shaft 7 is fixedly arranged. The connecting shaft 7 is a key component for the power output of the linear motor body 301. Through the sliding connection with the working frame 6, the transmission of linear motion is realized. Above the outer surface of the connecting shaft 7, a fixing seat 4 is fixedly arranged. The fixing seat 4 provides additional support for the connecting shaft 7, enhancing its structural stability and at the same time providing a connection point for the slide rail 5. One side of the fixing seat 4 is slidably connected with a slide rail 5. The slide rail 5 guides and restricts the movement path of the working frame 6, ensuring the precise movement of the dispensing head on the predetermined trajectory. Below the outer surface of the connecting shaft 7, a shaft seat 8 is fixedly arranged. The shaft seat 8 provides guidance and support for the sliding of the working frame 6, ensuring the stability and precision of the dispensing head in the vertical direction. The working frame 6 is slidably connected to the center position of the outer surface of the connecting shaft 7. The working frame 6 carries execution elements such as a dispensing head. Driven by the linear motor body 301 and guided by the slide rail 5 and the shaft seat 8, high-precision linear motion is achieved to complete the dispensing operation.

[0030] On one side of the inner wall of the linear motor body 301, near the front position, an encoder 303 is fixedly installed. The encoder 303 monitors the motion position and speed of the motor in real time, provides accurate feedback signals, and ensures that the linear motor body 301 can achieve high-precision linear motion control. The encoder 303 is a high-resolution absolute encoder 303. Compared with the incremental encoder 303, the absolute encoder 303 can directly provide the absolute value information of the current position without a reference point or initialization, thus improving the stability and reliability of the system. On one side of the inner wall of the linear motor body 301, near the rear position, a microprocessor 305 is fixedly installed. The microprocessor 305 is the core of the control system of the linear motor body 301, responsible for receiving the feedback signals of the encoder 303, executing control algorithms, and outputting drive signals to the linear motor body 301 to achieve precise control of the motion of the linear motor body 301. The microprocessor 305 is equipped with an intelligent control unit. The integration of the intelligent control unit enables the linear motor body 301 to automatically adjust speed, acceleration, and position according to the requirements of the dispensing operation, and achieve high-precision execution of complex paths. On the other side of the inner wall of the linear motor body 301, a magnet 306 is fixedly installed. The magnet 306, together with the stator and the mover, constitutes the electromagnetic drive system of the linear motor body 301. There are magnetic circuits of the stator and the mover on both sides of the magnet 306. The magnetic field generated by the magnet 306 interacts with the current in the stator or the mover to generate electromagnetic force, directly pushing the mover or the stator to move in a straight line direction. On the upper position of the inner wall of the linear motor body 301, an air cooler 304 is fixedly installed. The air cooler 304 uses air cooling technology to dissipate heat from the linear motor body 301. The air cooler 304 quickly removes the heat generated during the operation of the motor by forcing air flow, keeping the motor within a suitable working temperature range and avoiding performance degradation and shortened lifespan caused by overheating. The efficient operation of the air cooling system plays an important role in ensuring the stable operation and extending the service life of the linear motor body 301. The linear motor body 301 uses a brushless DC motor. The adoption of the brushless DC motor eliminates the brushes and commutators in traditional motors, improving the efficiency, lifespan, and reliability of the motor.

[0031] Working principle: The microprocessor 305 identifies the instruction to start the linear motor body 301. The linear motor body 301 drives the connecting shaft 7 to rotate. The working frame 6 on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 7 moves through the slide rail 5. The encoder 303 identifies the working position of the working frame 6 and transmits it to the microprocessor 305 for mechanical energy feedback. The air cooler 304 cools the linear motor body 301 by air cooling. The rubber seat 302 buffers the vibration generated by the linear motor body 301 and weakens the noise.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
