[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a stepper motor with a lead screw assembly that is not easily shaken, comprising a housing 11 and a lead screw body 2. A first cavity 12 is provided on the end face of the housing 11. An installation cylinder 3 is provided inside the first cavity 12. A threaded cylinder 4 is threadedly connected inside the installation cylinder 3. A limit cylinder 5 is provided on the threaded cylinder 4. The lead screw body 2 is rotatably disposed in the limit cylinder 5.

[0030] In the above technical solution, by using the limiting cylinder 5, the lead screw body 2 installed in the housing 11 is supported and limited, thereby minimizing the shaking of the lead screw body 2 relative to the housing 11. Furthermore, by using the mounting cylinder 3 and the threaded cylinder 4 in the first cavity 12, the limiting cylinder 5 installed on the end face of the housing 11 can be quickly disassembled and installed, thus facilitating the quick disassembly and replacement of the limiting cylinder 5 according to different types of lead screw bodies 2, thereby improving the adaptability of the limiting cylinder 5.

[0031] Specifically, an abutment plate is fixedly installed on the end face of the threaded cylinder 4. The abutment plate abuts against the end face of the housing 11, and the cross-section of the abutment plate is annular.

[0032] Furthermore, multiple reinforcing plates 51 are fixedly installed on the abutment plate, and each reinforcing plate 51 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the limiting cylinder 5.

[0033] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the mutual contact between the abutting plate and the housing 11, the screw body 2 can avoid the deflection of the limiting cylinder 5 during rotation. Furthermore, by utilizing the reinforcing plate 51, the fixing effect of the limiting cylinder 5 is further improved, thereby enhancing the supporting and limiting effect of the first support ring 6 in the limiting cylinder 5 on the screw body 2 to a certain extent.

[0034] Specifically, the lead screw body 2 includes a threaded section 21, and a threaded ring 7 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded section 21. The threaded ring 7 is rotatably disposed in the first cavity 12.

[0035] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the threaded ring 7 in the first cavity 12, when the lead screw body 2 is assembled with the housing 11, the threaded section 21 on the lead screw body 2 can be quickly assembled with the housing 11 by rotating the lead screw body 2.

[0036] Specifically, the limiting cylinder 5 is provided with a first support ring 6 inside, and a first connecting section 22 is rotatably provided inside the first support ring 6. The first connecting section 22 is coaxially connected to the end face of the threaded section 21, and a lead screw head section 24 is also coaxially connected to the end face of the first connecting section 22.

[0037] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the first support ring 6 in the limiting cylinder 5, the first connecting section 22 on the lead screw body 2 is supported. Furthermore, by utilizing the first support ring 6 and the threaded ring 7 to install and support the lead screw body 2, the shaking of the lead screw body 2 in the housing 11 is minimized, thereby preventing damage to the lead screw body 2.

[0038] Specifically, a screw 8 is rotatably mounted on the limiting cylinder 5, and a slider 9 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the screw 8. The slider 9 is fixedly mounted on the circumferential surface of the first support ring 6.

[0039] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the screw 8 on the limiting cylinder 5, the slider 9 is driven to slide along the axial direction of the screw 8 by rotating the screw 8, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the distance between the first support ring 6 and the threaded ring 7 as needed.

[0040] Specifically, a groove is provided along the axial direction on the circumferential surface of the limiting cylinder 5, and the slider 9 is slidably disposed in the groove.

[0041] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the sliding groove opened on the circumferential surface of the limiting cylinder 5, the sliding direction and sliding distance of the first support ring 6 can be limited.

[0042] Specifically, a second cavity 13 is provided at the other end of the housing 11. A second support ring 10 is rotatably arranged inside the second cavity 13. Multiple clips 102 are slidably arranged inside the second support ring 10. An elastic element 103 is provided between each clip 102 and the second support ring 10.

[0043] Furthermore, the other end of the threaded section 21 is coaxially connected to a second connecting section 23, which is located between multiple clips 102.

[0044] Furthermore, the two ends of the clips 102 that correspond to each other are chamfered, and anti-slip pads are fixedly installed on the clips 102.

[0045] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the second support ring 10 set in the second cavity 13, the second connecting section 23 on the lead screw body 2 is clamped and limited, thereby further improving the support effect on the lead screw body 2.

[0046] Specifically, the elastic element 103 is a spring, with one end of the spring fixedly mounted on the second support ring 10 and the other end fixedly mounted on the clamping plate 102.

[0047] Furthermore, a limit rod 104 is fixedly installed on the clamp 102, and a spring is sleeved on the limit rod 104.

[0048] By utilizing the spring, when the end face of the second connecting section 23 comes into contact with the chamfered end faces of the multiple clamping pieces 102, the movement of the lead screw body 2 causes the multiple clamping pieces 102 to slide radially along the second support ring 10. At this time, the spring is in a compressed state. Therefore, after the lead screw body 2 is installed at the corresponding position on the housing 11, the elastic force of the spring allows the multiple clamping pieces 102 to clamp the second connecting section 23 on the lead screw body 2, thereby achieving the effect of clamping and limiting the lead screw body 2. The limiting rod 104 on the clamping piece 102 is used to limit the sliding direction of the clamping piece 102.

[0049] Specifically, a rotating ring 101 is fixedly installed on the circumferential surface of the second support ring 10, and the rotating ring 101 is rotatably disposed in the second cavity 13.

[0050] In the above technical solution, by utilizing the rotating ring 101 in the second cavity 13, it is possible to conveniently drive multiple clamped lead screw bodies 2 to rotate.

[0051] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
