Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric linear actuator technology, and in particular to an electric linear actuator. Background Technology
[0002] An electric linear actuator is an electrically driven device that converts the rotary motion of an electric motor into the linear reciprocating motion of a linear actuator. It can be used as an actuator in various simple or complex processes to achieve remote control, centralized control, or automatic control.
[0003] Most existing electric linear actuators use a lead screw with a gear, which transmits the rotational power of the drive motor to rotate the gear on the lead screw, thus achieving the effect of rotating the lead screw. The linear reciprocating motion of the actuator is controlled by a nut fitted on the lead screw. However, in long-term use, it has been found that excessive up-and-down movement of the nut on the lead screw can cause the nut to rotate away from the lead screw, resulting in the actuator failing to operate.
[0004] For the reasons mentioned above, it is necessary to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0009] A gearbox, wherein a first helical gear is provided inside the gearbox and connected to one end of a lead screw;

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention sets a travel bar on the square tube, and sets a limiting device at both ends of the travel bar with the same length as the lead screw.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an electric push rod, including a lead screw telescopic device 1, wherein the lead screw telescopic device 1 includes a square tube 10, a lead screw 11 disposed in the inner cavity of the square tube 10, and a nut 12 movably disposed on the lead screw 11;
[0027] Gearbox 2, wherein a first helical gear 20 is provided inside the gearbox 2 and is connected to one end of the lead screw 11;
[0028] A drive motor 3 is disposed on one side of the gearbox 2;
[0029] The transmission device 4 is disposed in the internal cavity of the gearbox 2 and is used to drive the first helical gear 20 and the drive motor 3.
[0030] The square tube 10 is provided with a travel bar 101. Limiting devices 102 are fixedly provided at both ends of the travel bar 101. A switch 103 for controlling the drive motor 3 to turn off is provided on the limiting device 102. A protrusion 121 for cooperating with the switch 103 is provided on one side of the nut 12.
[0031] In the above scheme, when the electric push rod is working, the force of the drive motor is transmitted to the first helical gear through the transmission device, causing the first helical gear located at one end of the lead screw to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the nut mounted on it to perform a linear reciprocating motion of up and down. A travel bar of the same length as the lead screw is provided on one side of the lead screw, and limit devices are provided at both ends of the travel bar. The limit devices are equipped with switches for controlling the drive motor to turn off. When the nut rotates to the position of the limit device, the protrusion on the nut presses against the switch, causing the drive motor to turn off. The drive motor turning off causes the lead screw to stop rotating, thereby stopping the nut from moving up and down, effectively preventing the nut from moving excessively and detaching from the lead screw.
[0032] Specifically, the transmission device 4 includes a worm sleeve 40 disposed at one end of the drive motor 3 and a second helical gear 41 disposed in the gearbox 2 via a shaft pin 1000. A worm wheel 42 is sleeved and fixed on the shaft pin 1000. The worm wheel 42 meshes with the worm sleeve 40, and the second helical gear 41 meshes with the first helical gear 20. Using gears as the transmission device has a better transmission effect.
[0033] Specifically, two bearings 13 are sleeved on the lead screw 11. The bearings 13 are respectively set at both ends of the first helical gear 20. The gearbox 2 is provided with bearing grooves 21 for accommodating the bearings 13. The bearings set in the bearing grooves are used to hold the position of the first helical gear, which plays a limiting role. At the same time, the bearings can support the first helical gear and reduce the friction during the rotation of the first helical gear.
[0034] Specifically, the first helical gear 20 and the second helical gear 41 are made of plastic. Using plastic can reduce the noise generated by gear meshing and rotation, and also reduce costs.
[0035] Specifically, the nut 12 has a protruding slider 120, and the square tube 10 has a groove 100 inside that works with the slider 120. The groove and the slider work together to guide the movement of the nut.
[0036] Specifically, the square tube 10 is provided with a limiting groove 104, and the two ends of the travel bar 101 are provided with protrusions 1010 that cooperate with the limiting groove 104. The limiting groove and the protrusions are used to limit the position of the travel bar on the square tube and prevent the travel bar from shifting.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
