[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0030] First, combine Figures 1-2 This invention describes a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to provide the driving force for telescopic extension and retraction and has a wide range of applications.

[0031] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100, a rear cover 200, a front cover 300, a frameless motor, a planetary nut 500, a planetary screw 600, a mounting base 701, and an encoder 702.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the housing 100 has openings on both the front and rear sides; the rear cover 200 is located at the rear opening of the housing 100; and the front cover 300 is located at the front opening of the housing 100.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the frameless motor is located inside the housing 100. The stator 401 of the frameless motor is connected to the inner wall of the housing 100. The frameless motor has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is lightweight, thus reducing the overall weight.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the planetary nut 500 is located inside the housing 100 and is connected to the rotor 402 of the frameless motor. It rotates along with the rotor 402 of the frameless motor to transmit power.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rear end of the planetary screw 600 engages with the planetary nut 500, and the front end of the planetary screw 600 extends through the front cover 300 to the outside. The planetary screw 600 moves linearly under the action of the planetary nut 500.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mounting base 701 is connected to the rear end of the planetary nut 500, and the encoder 702 is connected to the mounting base 701. The encoder 702 is used to drive the rotation of the planetary nut 500 by the frameless motor.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a front connector 801 and a rear connector 802. The front connector 801 is connected to the front end of the planetary screw 600; the rear connector 802 is connected to the rear cover 200. The front connector 801 and the rear connector 802 are used for connecting to external equipment.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the front connector 801 and the rear connector 802 are equipped with fisheye bearings 803, which have high load-bearing capacity and wear resistance.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a pressure sensor 804, which is connected between the rear cover 200 and the rear connector 802, for detecting the pressure experienced by the electric cylinder during operation, and thereby adjusting the operating state of the electric cylinder.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: two angular contact bearings 805 and a bearing pressure plate 806. The two angular contact bearings 805 are both disposed between the housing 100 and the planetary nut 500, and are close to each other, reducing friction and having a large load-bearing capacity; the bearing pressure plate 806 fixes the two angular contact bearings 805 between the housing 100 and the planetary nut 500.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a deep groove ball bearing 807, which is disposed between the planetary nut 500 and the rear cover 200 to reduce friction and wear.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: an optical axis nut 808 and a pressure cap 809. The optical axis nut 808 is disposed between the front cover 300 and the planetary screw 600, and is used to support and guide the planetary screw 600 to ensure the movement state of the planetary screw 600; the pressure cap 809 fixes the optical axis nut 808 between the front cover 300 and the planetary screw 600.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The stator 401 of the frameless motor drives the rotor 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary nut 500 to rotate. Under the action of the planetary nut 500, the planetary screw 600 moves linearly.

[0045] Above, refer to Figures 1-2 This invention describes a telescopic electric cylinder according to an embodiment of the present invention. Its overall internal structure is not only simple, intuitive, compact, and orderly, but also greatly facilitates disassembly and maintenance for users.
