[0026] To make the above-mentioned contents, objectives, and beneficial effects of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a two-stage electric cylinder lead screw, including a lead screw 1, a lead screw nut 2, a lead screw guide head 3, a hollow lead screw 4, and a hollow lead screw nut 5.
[0029] In this design, a lead screw nut 1 is mounted on a lead screw 1, and the two are driven by ball joints to form a primary lead screw. A lead screw guide head 3 is fixed at the front end of the lead screw 1, serving as a guide between the lead screw 1 and the hollow lead screw 4. A hollow lead screw nut 5 is mounted on the hollow lead screw 4, and the two are driven by ball joints. The hollow lead screw 4 is fitted onto the lead screw 1 and is slidably connected to it via the lead screw guide head 3, thus forming a secondary lead screw together with the primary lead screw.
[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lead screw guide head 3 is fixed to the front end of the lead screw 1. The lead screw guide head 3 has a cylindrical body with a threaded boss at its front end, and the outer surface of the threaded boss is regularly threaded. Correspondingly, the front end of the lead screw 1 is regularly provided with a threaded hole that mates with the threaded boss. The lead screw guide head is locked in the threaded hole at the front end of the lead screw 1 by the threaded boss, thereby being installed and fixed at the very front end of the lead screw 1.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the side of the lead screw guide head 3 is regularly provided with several positioning protrusions 301. Correspondingly, the hollow lead screw 4 is arranged through the front and rear ends, forming a hollow hole 401, which passes through the front and rear ends of the hollow lead screw. Along the positions of the positioning protrusions 301, the inner wall of the hollow hole 401 is regularly provided with several guide grooves 402 that cooperate with them. The guide grooves are arranged in parallel and are set on the inner wall of the hollow lead screw 4 in the axial direction.
[0032] Furthermore, several positioning protrusions 301 are strip-shaped protrusions and are arranged parallel to the axial direction of the lead screw guide head 3, so that the lead screw 1 and the hollow lead screw 4 can be slidably connected by the several positioning protrusions 301 being engaged in the guide groove 402 on the inner wall of the hollow lead screw.
[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment, two sets of guide grooves 402 and positioning protrusions 301 are regularly arranged.
[0034] Furthermore, the lead screw guide head 3 is cylindrical, and the hollow hole 401 is also a circular through hole. When the hollow lead screw 4 is inserted into the lead screw 1 along several positioning protrusions on the outer surface of the lead screw guide head 3, the outer side surface of the lead screw guide head 3 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the hollow hole 401.
[0035] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the lead screw guide head 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the lead screw 1, which can prevent the outer surface of the threaded rod of the lead screw 1 from wearing against the inner wall of the hollow lead screw 1, thus avoiding wear on the outer surface of the lead screw 1.
[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the outer side surface of the hollow screw nut 5 is recessed inward along its radial direction, and several wear-resistant ring mounting grooves are regularly provided, and several wear-resistant rings for contacting the inner wall of the cylinder are regularly installed.
[0037] Furthermore, the screw nut 2 is preferably a nut with a flange structure, but a nut without a flange structure can also be used.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a number of ball bearings 9 and radial locking nuts 10 are regularly installed on the tail 403 of the hollow lead screw 4. The radial locking nuts 10 are used to lock the ball bearings 9 onto the tail 403 of the hollow lead screw.
[0039] Furthermore, a bearing sleeve 7 is provided around the periphery of several ball bearings 9. The left end of the bearing sleeve 7 has regularly arranged bearing grooves for arranging and installing the ball bearings 9. The ball bearings 9 are arranged and installed in the bearing grooves of the bearing sleeve 7, and are fitted onto the tail end 403 of the hollow lead screw 4 together with the bearing sleeve 7. Subsequently, the bearing sleeve 7 seals the ball bearings 9 within the bearing sleeve 7 through a bearing baffle 8. The bearing baffle 8 is locked and fixed to the left end of the bearing sleeve 7 by screws or other fasteners.
[0040] Furthermore, a connecting block 6 is regularly provided between the front part of the lead screw nut 2 and the tail part of the hollow lead screw 4, and the connecting block 6 is fixed to the front end of the lead screw nut 2 by fasteners.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting block 6 is cylindrical, and its front end is regularly provided with a baffle slot 601 to facilitate the insertion of the bearing baffle 8.
[0042] Furthermore, the tail end of the lead screw 1 is also regularly provided with several second ball bearings 11 and second radial locking nuts 12, which lock and fix the several second ball bearings 11 to the tail end of the lead screw 1. The several second ball bearings 11 are generally arranged and installed in the end cover at the rear end of the cylinder body, thereby enhancing the stability of the lead screw 1 during rotation.
[0043] The working principle of this two-stage electric cylinder lead screw is as follows:
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the motor drives the lead screw 1 to rotate inside the cylinder. The lead screw nut 2 converts the rotational motion of the lead screw 1 into linear motion, and the lead screw nut 2 slides forward. The lead screw nut 2 pushes the bearing sleeve 7 forward through the connecting block 6, and the bearing sleeve 7 drives the hollow lead screw 4 to slide forward. At the same time, the lead screw 1 drives the hollow lead screw 4 to rotate together through the lead screw guide head 3 at its front end. The hollow lead screw nut 5 converts the rotational motion of the hollow lead screw 4 into linear motion, and the hollow lead screw nut 5 slides forward.
[0045] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
