Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electric cylinders, in particular to a heavy multi-stage telescopic electric cylinder. Background Art

[0002] Most traditional electric cylinders adopt a columnar structure design. When a multi-stage lifting structure design is adopted for ordinary electric cylinders, the multi-stage lifting electric cylinder is driven by a motor to move the lead screw. The lead screw rotates at the original position, and the top force generated by the rotation of the lead screw thread drives the nut sleeve to move up and down to realize the telescopic movement of the sleeve. At present, the multi-stage electric cylinders on the market mainly adopt a trapezoidal layout of multiple lead screws and require multiple motors to drive and operate. For example, in the Chinese invention patent with the publication number of "CN111503233A" and the patent name of "Multi-motor synchronous drive high-power four-stage telescopic electric cylinder", the multi-stage telescopic electric cylinder with such a structure has the disadvantages of complex structure, high production cost and low transmission efficiency. At the same time, the sliding telescopic structure of the cylinder barrel of the multi-stage electric cylinders on the market at present is only arranged inside one end of the electric cylinder. For example, in the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number of "CN216009439U" and the patent name of "A multi-stage telescopic cylinder", the electric cylinder with such a structure has the disadvantages of poor rigidity, poor shear resistance, poor stability, small bearing capacity, and poor perpendicularity and force-bearing of the whole device, resulting in low transmission efficiency and slow telescopic speed of the electric cylinder, which affects the production efficiency. At the same time, its transmission accuracy cannot be effectively guaranteed, increasing the production cost. In addition, the electric cylinder also has the problem of short extension stroke. To meet the demand for a large extension stroke, manufacturers often adopt a structure design of an ultra-long cylinder barrel. However, the structure design of the ultra-long cylinder barrel will make the electric cylinder too long, and its application is limited in a narrow space environment, resulting in poor versatility.

The lead screw group drives the third cylinder block to telescopically slide in the second cylinder block through the idle connection component. It can realize driving the second cylinder block and the third cylinder block to synchronously perform telescopic movements respectively from both ends of the electric cylinder, so as to ensure the consistency of the overall perpendicularity and ensure the uniform force of the whole, and improve the overall rigidity, stability, shear resistance, bearing capacity and transmission accuracy of the electric cylinder.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate through the motor transmission assembly. The first nut rises on the first lead screw. The rising first nut drives the second cylinder to rise synchronously through the first sliding part provided at the lower end of the second cylinder, so that the second cylinder makes an extending movement in the first cylinder. Conversely, when the servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate in the reverse direction through the motor transmission assembly, the first nut resets and descends on the first lead screw.

The second bearing is rotatably connected with the upper end of the first lead screw. The second bearing holds the upper end of the first lead screw. The first lead screw rotates freely in the second bearing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the piston is fixedly installed with the second bearing seat, and the piston is also fixedly installed with the second nut axially penetrating it, when the first lead screw drives the second lead screw to rotate in the same direction through the slider, the first lead screw can rotate freely in the second bearing. By setting the threads of the first lead screw and the second lead screw in the reverse direction, when the second lead screw rotates and rises in the second nut, the second lead screw can make an extending movement in the first lead screw.

[0015] Preferably, the idling connection assembly includes a third bearing seat installed under the third cylinder head. A third bearing is provided in the third bearing seat. The third bearing is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second lead screw, and the third bearing holds the upper end of the second lead screw, and the second lead screw rotates freely within the third bearing.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the third cylinder head is fixedly installed with the third bearing seat, and the third cylinder head is fixedly installed with the third cylinder barrel, and the second lead screw rotates freely within the third bearing, when the second lead screw moves upward or extends, it can drive the third bearing, the third bearing seat and the third cylinder head to rise synchronously. The raised third cylinder head drives the third cylinder barrel to rise synchronously, enabling the raised third cylinder barrel to extend within the second cylinder barrel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. By designing the structure of the cylinder barrel group, a first sliding portion is provided at the lower end of the second cylinder barrel in the cylinder barrel group, and a first nut is axially penetrated through the first sliding portion. The first nut is threadedly connected to the first lead screw. When the servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate through the motor drive assembly, the first nut can rise on the first lead screw. The raised first nut drives the second cylinder barrel to rise synchronously through the first sliding portion, enabling the second cylinder barrel to extend within the first cylinder barrel; conversely, when the servo motor drives the first lead screw to rotate in the reverse direction through the motor drive assembly, the first nut can lower on the first lead screw. The lowered first nut drives the second cylinder barrel to lower synchronously through the first sliding portion, enabling the second cylinder barrel to retract within the first cylinder barrel.

[0019] 2. By designing the structure of the lead screw group, a slider is provided at the lower end of the second lead screw in the lead screw group. The transverse section of the slider is set to be elliptical and the inner wall of the first lead screw is set to be adapted to the external shape of the slider, so that the slider can slide back and forth in the first lead screw. When the first lead screw rotates, the second lead screw can be driven to rotate in the same direction through the slider, and the first lead screw rotates freely in the second bearing. The threads of the first lead screw and the second lead screw are set in the reverse direction. When the second lead screw rotates in the second nut and moves upward, the second lead screw can move out in the first lead screw. It also connects a lead screw transmission component to the upper end of the first lead screw and designs the structure of the lead screw transmission component. A third cylinder head is fixedly installed at the upper end of the third cylinder barrel, and a third bearing seat is fixedly installed under the third cylinder head. The second lead screw rotates freely in the third bearing in the third bearing seat. When the second lead screw rises, it can drive the third bearing, the third bearing seat and the third cylinder head to rise synchronously. The rise of the third cylinder head drives the third cylinder barrel fixedly installed with it to rise synchronously. When the third cylinder barrel rises, it can move out in the second cylinder barrel. And when the second cylinder barrel moves out in the first cylinder barrel, the third cylinder barrel can move out synchronously in the second cylinder barrel, so that it can greatly improve the overall extension speed of the electric cylinder and make its extension speed the fastest. It has the advantage of high transmission efficiency. In addition, the third cylinder barrel realizes a double-stroke extension relative to the first cylinder barrel, and it greatly improves the extension stroke of the electric cylinder to solve the problems of slow extension speed and short extension stroke of multi-stage electric cylinders on the market currently.

[0020] 3. By providing a first sliding part at the lower end of the second cylinder barrel and a piston in the third cylinder barrel, a second bearing seat is provided under the piston, a second bearing is provided in the second bearing seat, and the second bearing is rotationally connected to the upper end of the first lead screw. The second bearing holds the upper end of the first lead screw, and the first lead screw rotates freely in the second bearing. When the first sliding part of the second cylinder barrel makes a piston expansion and contraction movement in the first cylinder barrel, the piston can be driven to make a piston expansion and contraction movement synchronously in the third cylinder barrel through the lead screw transmission component. It ensures that the electric cylinder will not shake during the expansion and contraction movement, so as to ensure high precision of the linear movement of the electric cylinder. It further improves the stability of the electric cylinder, makes the electric cylinder stronger in rigidity, shear resistance and bearing capacity. And it adopts a multi-stage expansion and contraction structure design, so that it has the advantages of small volume but long extension stroke, and is suitable for application and installation in narrow space environments to achieve the purpose of strong versatility, and it improves the efficiency of industrial production.

[0021] 4. The overall structural design enables the second cylinder barrel to perform telescopic or lifting movements within the first cylinder barrel, while the third cylinder barrel can synchronously perform telescopic or lifting movements within the second cylinder barrel, enabling it to greatly improve the telescopic or lifting speed of the overall electric cylinder and ensure that its telescopic or lifting speed is maximized. It has the advantage of high transmission efficiency. In addition, it also enables driving the second cylinder barrel and the third cylinder barrel to synchronously perform telescopic movements from both ends of the electric cylinder, so as to ensure the consistency of the overall verticality and the even distribution of the overall force, and improve the rigidity, stability, shear resistance, load-bearing capacity and transmission accuracy of the overall electric cylinder, effectively solving the problems of the multi-stage electric cylinders currently on the market, mainly including the trapezoidal layout design of multiple lead screws and the sliding telescopic structure of the cylinder barrel only arranged within one end of the electric cylinder, resulting in complex structure, low transmission efficiency, poor rigidity, poor shear resistance, poor stability, poor verticality, small load-bearing capacity, short extension stroke and poor versatility.

[0041] In another embodiment, the present utility model further provides a control principle for a heavy multi-section telescopic electric cylinder: the servo motor 4 can drive the motor transmission assembly 3 to rotate forward and backward through the speed reducer 35. By connecting and installing the coupling 33 in the motor transmission assembly 3 to the lower end of the first lead screw 21 in the lead screw group 2, the coupling 33 can rotate freely within the first bearing 32. The forward and backward rotating motor transmission assembly 3 can drive the first lead screw 21 in the lead screw group 2 to rotate synchronously forward and backward through the coupling 33. And by providing a first sliding part 14 at the lower end of the second cylinder 12 in the cylinder group 1, and axially penetrating the first sliding part 14 with a first nut 16, the first nut 16 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 21; when the first lead screw 21 rotates under the drive of the servo motor 4 and drives the first nut 16 to move upward on the first lead screw 21, the first nut 16 drives the second cylinder 12 to rise through the first sliding part 14 to realize the extension movement of the second cylinder 12 within the first cylinder 11. Conversely, when the first lead screw 21 rotates reversely under the drive of the servo motor 4, it can drive the first nut 16 to move downward on the first lead screw 21, and the first nut 16 drives the second cylinder 12 to reset and descend through the first sliding part 14 to realize the retraction movement or contraction movement of the second cylinder 12 within the first cylinder 11.

[0042] Since a second lead screw 22 is axially penetrated through the first lead screw 21, by providing a slider 24 at the lower end of the second lead screw 22 and setting the transverse section of the slider 24 to be elliptical, and setting the inner wall of the first lead screw 21 to be adapted to the outer shape of the slider 24, the slider 24 can slide back and forth within the first lead screw 21, and the first lead screw 21 can drive the second lead screw 22 to rotate in the same direction through the slider 24. And by providing a piston 51 within the third cylinder 13, axially penetrating the piston 51 with a second nut 53, the second nut 53 in the lead screw transmission assembly 5 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 22, a second bearing seat 54 is provided below the piston 51, a second bearing 55 is provided within the second bearing seat 54, and the second bearing 55 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the first lead screw 21, and the second bearing 55 clamps the upper end of the first lead screw 21, enabling the first lead screw 21 to rotate freely within the second bearing 55 to ensure the perpendicularity and good force distribution of the first lead screw 21; and the threads of the first lead screw 21 and the second lead screw 22 are set in the reverse direction. When the second lead screw 22 rotates within the second nut 53 under the drive of the first lead screw 21 and makes an extension movement or an upward movement, the second lead screw 22 can realize an extension movement or an upward movement within the first lead screw 21. Conversely, when the second lead screw 22 rotates reversely within the second nut 53 under the drive of the first lead screw 21 and makes a downward movement, the second lead screw 22 can make a retraction movement or a downward movement within the first lead screw 21.

[0043] It is provided with a third cylinder 13 inside the second cylinder 12. A third cylinder head 131 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the third cylinder 13. The third cylinder head 131 is fixedly installed with the third bearing seat 61. A third bearing 62 is provided inside the third bearing seat 61. The third bearing 62 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the second lead screw 22. The third bearing 62 clamps the upper end of the second lead screw 22, enabling the second lead screw 22 to freely rotate inside the third bearing 62. When the second lead screw 22 makes an extending movement or a rising movement, it can drive the third bearing 62, the third bearing seat 61, and the third cylinder head 131 to extend or rise synchronously. The extension or rise of the third cylinder head 131 can drive the third cylinder 13 to extend or rise synchronously, enabling the third cylinder 13 to make an extending movement or a rising movement inside the second cylinder 12.

[0044] When the second lead screw 22 makes an extending movement or a rising movement inside the first lead screw 21, the first lead screw 21 is relatively stationary along the axial direction relative to the first cylinder 11. While the first lead screw 21 drives the second cylinder 12 to make an extending movement or a rising movement inside the first cylinder 11 through the first nut 16, the third cylinder 13 can simultaneously make an extending movement or a rising movement inside the second cylinder 12. This enables the third cylinder 13 to achieve a double-stroke extension or rise relative to the first cylinder 11, greatly increasing the stroke of the electric cylinder and thus solving the problem of the short extension stroke of multi-stage electric cylinders on the market currently.

[0045] When the first sliding part 14 of the second cylinder 12 makes a piston 51 expansion and contraction movement or a lifting and sliding movement inside the first cylinder 11, the piston 51 makes a piston 51 expansion and contraction movement or a lifting and sliding movement inside the third cylinder 13, ensuring that the electric cylinder does not wobble during the expansion and contraction movement or the lifting and sliding movement, thus ensuring that the electric cylinder can achieve high-precision linear motion. In addition, by providing an idling connection component 6 at the other end connected to the servo motor 4 and fixedly installing the third cylinder head 131 and the third bearing seat 61 to drive the third cylinder 13 to make an expansion and contraction movement or a lifting and sliding movement inside the second cylinder 12, it improves the perpendicularity and force-bearing capacity of the double-end drive multi-stage cylinder to make an expansion and contraction movement or a lifting and sliding movement. It has the advantages of higher transmission precision, better stability, better rigidity, stronger shear resistance, and greater load-bearing capacity, solving the problems of low transmission precision, poor stability, poor rigidity, weak shear resistance, small load-bearing capacity, and low perpendicularity of the sliding and telescoping structure of the cylinder of multi-stage electric cylinders on the market currently, where the structure is only arranged inside one end of the electric cylinder.

[0046] The overall structural design not only enables the second cylinder 12 to perform telescopic or lifting movements within the first cylinder 11, but also enables the third cylinder 13 to perform synchronous telescopic or lifting movements within the second cylinder 12. This allows it to greatly increase the telescopic or lifting speed of the overall electric cylinder and ensure that its telescopic or lifting speed is maximized. It has the advantage of high transmission efficiency and solves the problem of slow telescopic speed of multi-stage electric cylinders on the market. Moreover, its multi-stage telescopic structure and multi-stage synchronous telescopic operation mode enable it to achieve a long extension stroke, simple structure, strong versatility, and suitability for environmental applications and installations in narrow spaces without using an ultra-long cylinder body structure. It also has the advantage of a small volume, thus solving the problems of long length, poor versatility, and limited application in narrow spaces of electric cylinders with large stroke lengths that require an ultra-long cylinder body structure design on the market. In addition, it can control multiple cylinders to perform multi-stage telescopic or multi-stage lifting synchronously with only one power source (servo motor), reducing the power source and enabling it to reduce production costs.
