[0002] In the field of mechanical drive and motion control, reciprocating motion trajectory is widely used in various mechanical equipment, and its performance is directly related to the stability and service life of the equipment. Especially in high-precision and complex working conditions, it is particularly important to conduct in-depth research on the motion characteristics and wear behavior of moving parts. However, the currently available experimental equipment is mostly limited to testing single motion mode, and the performance testing and research means of parts under complex motion conditions (such as reciprocating motion and variable speed loading) are not satisfactory.

[0003] Cam mechanism, as a common control device in mechanical transmission, is often used to realize periodic and reciprocating motion due to its simple structure and smooth motion characteristics. Unfortunately, although cam mechanism has these advantages, experimental devices combining cam mechanism with reciprocating motion test have not been widely used. Currently, crank mechanism and hydraulic cylinder are still the main transmission mechanisms for linear reciprocating motion, but they still have certain limitations in meeting complex test requirements, such as lack of special experimental equipment for testing the transmission performance and wear performance of reciprocating motion parts, low test precision difficult to evaluate dynamic performance and long-term reliability, and insufficient flexibility of motion trajectory difficult to meet complex experimental requirements.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a reciprocating motion mechanism based on cylindrical cam drive, which can realize accurate motion control and performance test, provide a reliable platform for research on transmission efficiency, friction characteristics and wear law, and meet the complex experimental requirements, thereby providing strong support for technical research and innovation in related fields.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a reciprocating cylindrical cam transmission device, including a cylindrical cam 1, which is a rotating component with a special surface shape. An undulating guide rail 2 is formed on the surface of the cylindrical cam 1, extending circumferentially along its surface. The cylindrical cam 1 is the core component of the transmission device; it rotates to drive a cylindrical follower 3 to move along the guide rail 2, thereby achieving reciprocating motion. The undulating grooved track provides precise guidance for the cylindrical follower 3, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the motion.

[0025] A cylindrical follower 3 is embedded in the guide rail 2. The cylindrical follower 3 is a moving component that contacts the surface of the cylindrical cam 1. A guide member 4 is provided on the shaft of the cylindrical follower 3, and a ball bearing 5 is provided on one side of the guide member 4. The ball bearing 5 is typically composed of inner and outer rings, rolling elements, and a cage. In this device, the ball bearing 5 is used to connect the cylindrical follower 3 and the guide member 4. The cylindrical follower 3 moves along the guide rail 2 of the cylindrical cam 1 to achieve reciprocating motion. The ball bearing 5 reduces friction and wear during the motion through rolling contact, extending the service life of the device and improving the smoothness and efficiency of the motion.

[0026] The guide component 4 comprises two parts: a guide post 7 and a guide sleeve 8. The guide post 7 is positioned between the cylindrical follower 3 and the ball bearing 5, while the guide sleeve 8 is fitted over the outer side of the guide post 7. The guide sleeve 8 has an inverted T-shaped surface with a threaded hole at the bottom and annular protrusions distributed inside. The guide component 4 guides and supports the movement of the cylindrical follower 3, ensuring its stable movement on the surface of the cylindrical cam 1. A notch is provided at the bottom of the guide post 7, the shape and size of which match the outer ring of the ball bearing 5, combining the guiding function of the guide post 7 with the rotational flexibility of the ball bearing 5, resulting in smoother and more precise movement. The design of the guide sleeve 8 increases the stability of the connection with the installation position, while the protrusions reduce friction and enhance the guiding effect.

[0027] A drive motor 6 is located below the cylindrical cam 1, and the output shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the cylindrical cam 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the cylindrical cam 1 via a key connection, providing rotational power to the cylindrical cam 1, thereby driving the entire transmission device to achieve reciprocating motion. The key connection method is not only robust and reliable, but also makes the driving method more flexible, allowing for the selection of appropriate motor type and power according to actual needs.

[0028] Therefore, this utility model adopts the above-mentioned cylindrical cam transmission device for reciprocating motion. Through the cooperation of the cylindrical cam and the cylindrical follower, a highly efficient reciprocating motion mechanism is realized. The introduction of ball bearings reduces friction and wear, and extends the service life of the device. The key connection between the drive motor and the cylindrical cam makes the driving method more flexible.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
