[0002] In the field of industrial automation, cylinders are widely used in various automation equipment, such as machine tools, packaging machines, printing machines, etc. In the field of industrial automation, cylinders, as key components of internal combustion engines, usually use linear reciprocating motion for power transmission, thereby converting heat energy or pressure energy into mechanical energy to provide power for the device. However, with the development of the industrial field, the requirements for manufacturing and production have become more and more stringent, resulting in the emergence of small cylinders suitable for refined production. Existing small cylinders usually use a circular push rod structure for telescopic movement to generate thrust, but as the piston pushes the push rod back and forth, the push rod is prone to rotation in the cylinder telescopic groove, resulting in offset, and the push rod needs to be disassembled and adjusted from time to time. At the same time, the angle of the actuator connected to the push rod will change with the product, and it is very troublesome to manually adjust the push rod angle each time. Utility Model Content

At the same time, the first gear drives the limit shell to rotate, thereby causing the telescopic column to rotate synchronously, thereby changing the direction of the telescopic column's flatness.

[0008] Preferably, a piston groove is provided at the bottom of the air inlet groove in the main shell, and a through groove communicating with the outside is provided at the top of the piston groove in the main shell.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the piston groove reserves space for the lifting and lowering movement of the piston rod, and laterally limits the movement of the piston rod, so that the piston rod transmits the thrust generated by the movement to the subsequent rotating seat.

[0016] Preferably, a ring groove is provided on one side of the central through groove close to the piston groove, and the inner wall of the ring groove is plugged and fixed to the bottom of the limiting shell.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the annular groove is plugged into the bottom of the limiting shell, thereby preventing the limiting shell from deflecting when rotating.

[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The embodiment of the present application discloses a small telescopic cylinder with a flat rod limit.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3A flat rod limited small telescopic cylinder comprises a main shell 1, and four mounting holes 20 are provided around the center of the upper end surface of the main shell 1 for fixing external actuators. A conical air inlet groove 4 is provided inwardly on one side of the outer surface of the main shell 1, and a threaded seat 2 is glued and fixed at the groove around the air inlet groove 4 on the outer surface of the main shell 1. A through hole is formed in the middle of the threaded seat 2, and the through hole is conical and connected to the air inlet groove 4. A threaded groove connecting the through hole is provided inwardly on the side surface of the threaded seat 2 away from the main shell 1, and an air inlet 3 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove of the threaded seat 2, and the threaded connection gap of the air inlet 3 is filled with adhesive to increase the sealing. The air inlet 3 has a through hole in the middle, and the center of the through hole of the air inlet 3 is aligned with the center of the through hole of the threaded seat 2.

[0035] An air compression device is provided at the interface of the air inlet 3 located on the outside, and the air inlet 3 transmits the delivered compressed air to the threaded seat 2. The interfaces on both sides of the threaded seat 2 are respectively fixed to the air inlet 3 and the air inlet groove 4, thereby forming a sealed connection to prevent air leakage. At the same time, the air enters the conical groove of the threaded seat 2, the air flow space is reduced, and the conical surface of the air inlet groove 4 is combined to help increase the flow rate of the compressed air.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 The main housing 1 is provided with a piston groove 5 at the top of the end of the air inlet groove 4. The inner wall of the piston groove 5 is surrounded by a circular sealing layer 9. The middle of the sealing layer 9 is fixed with a piston rod 8, and the top of the piston rod 8 is set to a conical surface (such as Figure 2 As shown, the conical surface of the piston rod 8 is located above the sealing layer 9), and a central groove 6 is provided at the top of the piston groove 5 inside the main shell 1. The central groove 6 passes through the outer surface of the main shell 1 on the other side of the air inlet 3 to communicate with the outside, and an annular groove 19 is provided around the connecting port between the central groove 6 and the piston groove 5. The central groove 6 passes through the main shell 1 upward at the other end relative to the piston groove 5 to provide a rotating port 7, and the top of the rotating port 7 protrudes from the upper end surface of the main shell 1.

[0037] The lower end surface of the sealing layer 9 comes into contact with the compressed air delivered by the air inlet groove 4. The compressed air applies an upward thrust to the sealing layer 9, so that the sealing layer 9 drives the piston rod 8 to move upward. At the same time, the opening of the middle groove 6 and the rotating opening 7 reserves installation space for the extension and contraction of the telescopic column 14 and the rotation structure.

[0038] Reference Figures 2 to 5A rotating seat 10 is fixed to the top of the conical surface of the piston rod 8, and a rotating rod in the middle of the upper end surface of the rotating seat 10 is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 15 (the rotating seat 10 and the rotating disk 15 are in a longitudinal fixed state). The rotating disk 15 is fixed with a flat telescopic column 14 relative to the other end surface of the rotating seat 10. At the same time, the inner surface of the air inlet 3 fits against the limiting shell 11, and the upper end surface of the limiting shell 11 is flush with the upper end surface of the air inlet 3. A limiting hole 12 is opened inward in the middle of the upper end surface of the limiting shell 11, and the shape of the limiting hole 12 is consistent with the shape of the telescopic column 14. The bottom of the limiting hole 12 passes through the bottom surface of the limiting shell 11 and is provided with a circular bottom groove 13.

[0039] It should be noted that the diameter of the limit shell 11 is consistent with the diameter of the annular groove 19 and a movable gap is reserved. The bottom of the limit shell 11 is inserted into the annular groove 19 to form a limit. The diameter of the rotating seat 10 is consistent with the diameter of the bottom groove 13 and a movable gap is reserved. Under normal circumstances, the piston rod 8, the rotating seat 10 and the rotating disk 15 are located in the piston groove 5, the telescopic column 14 is inserted into the limit hole 12, and the telescopic column 14 is flush with the upper end surface of the limit shell 11.

[0040] The piston rod 8 translates upward and applies an upward thrust to the bottom of the rotating seat 10, so that the rotating seat 10 lifts the rotating disk 15 to transmit the thrust to the bottom of the telescopic column 14, so that the top of the telescopic column 14 protrudes from the top of the limit shell 11. At the same time, the inner wall of the limit hole 12 fits with the telescopic column 14 to perform lateral limitation, preventing the telescopic column 14 from deflecting during the extension and retraction process.

[0041] Reference Figures 2 to 5 A first gear 17 is fixed around the portion of the outer surface of the limit shell 11 located in the middle through groove 6. At the same time, a rotating rod 16 is fixed in the middle through groove 6 on the other side relative to the first gear 17. The surface of the rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected to a second gear 18, and the tooth surface of the second gear 18 is meshed and abutted with the first gear 17. The side of the second gear 18 away from the first gear 17 protrudes from the main shell 1 and is located on the outside. The tooth surface of the second gear 18 located on the outside is meshed and connected with a motor device that provides rotational force.

[0042] The second gear 18 is connected to the external motor device and rotates, thereby driving the first gear 17 to rotate synchronously. The first gear 17 drives the limit housing 11 to rotate in the middle groove 6 and the rotating mouth 7, so that the telescopic column 14 rotates synchronously. At the same time, as the telescopic column 14 rotates, the rotating disk 15 is driven to rotate in the rotating seat 10, forming a limit connection to fix it longitudinally, preventing the telescopic column 14 from deflecting during rotation. The first gear 17 is located in the middle groove 6 to form a longitudinal fixation, preventing the piston rod 8 from pushing up and causing the limit housing 11 to protrude from the rotating mouth 7 and cause deflection.

[0043] The implementation principle of a flat rod limited small telescopic cylinder in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when using this device, a person starts an externally arranged air compression device through a microcomputer, so that the compressed air is delivered from the air inlet 3 to the air inlet groove 4. During the delivery process, the air passes through the conical groove in the middle of the threaded seat 2, reducing the flow area and thereby increasing the flow speed. After entering the air inlet groove 4, the air is delivered to the piston groove 5, and generates a thrust on the bottom of the piston rod 8 and the bottom surface of the sealing layer 9, so that the piston rod 8 as a whole moves upward along the piston groove 5. As the piston rod 8 moves upward, a thrust is applied to the bottom of the rotating seat 10. The rotating seat 10 transmits the thrust from the rotating disk 15 to the telescopic column 14, so that the telescopic column 14 moves upward along the limiting hole 12, and finally protrudes from the rotating port 7 and the outside. At the same time, the bottom groove 13 limits the upward movement height of the rotating disk 15, and stops rising when the upper end surface of the rotating disk 15 abuts against the bottom of the bottom groove 13.

[0044] Similarly, the external air compression device extracts air, changing the piston groove 5 to a vacuum state, generating a pulling force to move the piston rod 8 downward, thereby retracting the telescopic column 14 into the limiting hole 12. Repeated operations allow the telescopic column 14 to interact with the external actuator, and the telescopic column 14 is flat and engaged with the limiting hole 12, thereby preventing the telescopic column 14 from accidentally rotating during the telescopic process.

[0045] When the telescopic column 14 performs telescopic movement, the personnel drives the second gear 18 to rotate through the microcomputer-controlled motor device. The second gear 18 rotates around the rotating rod 16, thereby driving the first gear 17 to rotate. The first gear 17 is longitudinally fixed by the upper and lower inner walls of the middle through groove 6. When the rotating disk 15 abuts against the bottom groove 13, the first gear 17 limits the limit housing 11 to prevent the limit housing 11 from protruding from the rotating opening 7 as a whole. At the same time, the first gear 17 drives the limit housing 11 to rotate around the center. As the limit housing 11 rotates, the telescopic column 14 is driven to rotate, so that the direction of the telescopic column 14 can be manually adjusted, which is convenient for adjustment and interaction with actuators at different angles.

[0046] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
