DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The present invention will be described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a motor-driven rotary actuator structure includes a fixed bracket 1, a stepper motor 2, and a driving worm gear 3. The stepper motor 2 is fastened to the fixed bracket 1. The rotor of the stepper motor 2 is provided with a driving worm 4 extending horizontally forward, and the driving worm 4 is engaged with the driving worm gear 3.
[0027] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 is rotatably mounted above the driving worm 4 with a metal shaft 5 extending horizontally in the left-right direction, and the metal shaft 5 is perpendicular to the driving worm 4 .
[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plastic part 6 is sheathed on the periphery of the metal shaft 5 , and the plastic part 6 and the metal shaft 5 are injection-molded into an integral structure. The plastic part 6 is provided with a driving swing arm 61 extending radially outward from the metal shaft 5 .
[0029] It needs to be explained that if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving worm gear 3 is coaxially arranged with the metal shaft 5 , and the driving worm gear 3 is sleeved and fastened to the metal shaft 5 or the plastic part 6 .
[0030] During the operation of the motor-driven rotary actuator structure of the first embodiment, the stepper motor 2 is in operation and the rotor of the stepper motor 2 drives the driving worm 4 to rotate synchronously. Since the driving worm 4 is engaged with the driving worm wheel 3, the rotor of the stepper motor 2 drives the metal shaft 5 to rotate through the above-mentioned worm gear mechanism. The rotating metal shaft 5 drives the plastic part 6 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the driving swing arm 61 of the plastic part 6 to swing vertically, thereby realizing vertical swing output.
[0031] In summary, it can be seen that, through the above structural design, the motor-driven rotary actuator structure of the first embodiment can effectively achieve vertical swing output and has the advantage of novel structural design.
[0032] Example 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the fixed bracket 1 includes a bracket base plate 11 arranged horizontally and laterally, the front edge of the bracket base plate 11 is provided with a front support portion 12 extending vertically upward, and the rear edge of the bracket base plate 11 is provided with a rear support portion 13 extending vertically upward, and the front support portion 12 and the rear support portion 13 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0033] The housing of the stepping motor 2 is welded and mounted on the rear support portion 13 , and the front end portion of the driving worm 4 is rotatably connected to the front support portion 12 via a front bushing 71 .
[0034] Example 3, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that the left edge portion of the bracket base plate 11 is provided with a left support portion 14 extending vertically upward, and the right edge portion of the bracket base plate 11 is provided with a right support portion 15 extending vertically upward, and the left support portion 14 and the right support portion 15 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0035] The left end of the metal shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the left support portion 14 via the left shaft sleeve 72 , and the right end of the metal shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the right support portion 15 via the right shaft sleeve 73 .
[0036] It should be noted that the front sleeve 71, the left sleeve 72, and the right sleeve 73 are stainless steel sleeves respectively; of course, the above-mentioned stainless steel material does not constitute a limitation to the third embodiment, that is, the sleeves of the third embodiment can also be made of other materials.
[0037] It should be explained that the various supporting parts of the present embodiment three can adopt an integrated structural design, specifically: the front support part 12, the rear support part 13, the left support part 14, the right support part 15, and the bracket base plate 11 are an integrated structure; of course, the various supporting parts of the present embodiment three can also adopt a split structural design, specifically: the front support part 12, the rear support part 13, the left support part 14, and the right support part 15 are respectively components independent of the bracket base plate 11, and the front support part 12, the rear support part 13, the left support part 14, and the right support part 15 can be respectively installed on the bracket base plate 11 by screwing.
[0038] Example 4, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the fixing bracket 1 is equipped with a positioning column 8, and the plastic component 6 is provided with a positioning stop 62 corresponding to the positioning column 8, and the positioning stop 62 and the plastic component 6 are an integrated structure.
[0039] During the process of the metal shaft 5 rotating and driving the swing arm 61 to swing vertically, the fourth embodiment uses the positioning column 8 to block and limit the positioning stop 62 of the plastic part 6 so that the driving swing arm 61 can swing accurately to the desired position.
[0040] Example 5, as Figure 3 As shown, the difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that an annular groove 51 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the metal shaft 5 , and the plastic component 6 covers the annular groove 51 of the metal shaft 5 .
[0041] During the injection molding process of the plastic part 6 , part of the plastic part 6 is filled into the annular groove 51 of the metal shaft 5 . By providing the annular groove 51 on the outer circumferential surface of the metal shaft 5 , the fifth embodiment can effectively improve the stability of the combination of the plastic part 6 and the metal shaft 5 .
[0042] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
