DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the technical scheme better understood by the person skilled in the art, the utility model will be described in detail below in combination with embodiments, and the description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not have any limiting effect on the protection scope of the utility model.

[0031] As Figures 1-6 shown, the specific scheme of the embodiment is: a U-shaped stretching type electric gas spring, comprising an inflation assembly 10, a driving assembly 11 and a transmission box 12, the inflation assembly 10 and the driving assembly 11 are arranged on one side of the transmission box 12 at the same time, and the driving assembly 11 is transmissionally arranged between the inflation assembly 10, as Figure 1 shown, the inflation assembly 10 and the driving assembly 11 are arranged on one side of the transmission box 12, constituting a U shape, which can reduce the occupied space of the whole electric gas spring extension stroke, thereby facilitating installation, the driving assembly 11 comprises a driving motor and a fixing sleeve for fixing the motor and the like;

[0032] The transmission box 12 comprises a first shell 121 which is mutually mounted with the inflation assembly 10, and the transmission box 12 further comprises a second shell 124 which is fixed below the first shell 121, specifically, the first shell 121 is a hollow shell structure, the second shell 124 is a plate structure, and the two are mutually fastened and fixed through bolts, and the second shell 124 is provided with a first universal joint 14 which is on the same axis as the inflation assembly 10.

[0033] As Figure 2 shown, as a preferred mode of the above embodiment, the first shell 121 is detachably mounted with an oil inlet cap 13 which fixes the inflation assembly 10 and facilitates injection of lubricating oil into the inflation assembly 10, specifically, the middle hollow structure of the oil inlet cap 13, after the lubricating oil is injected, a rubber plug can be installed on the end of the oil inlet cap 13 for sealing, so that direct maintenance can be carried out without the need to disassemble the whole electric gas spring, which is more convenient.

[0034] The first shell 121 is fixedly provided with a support seat 122 which supports the inflation assembly 10, and the support seat 122 is provided with a cavity 123 which can accommodate lubricating oil, specifically, the oil inlet cap 13 and the support seat 122 are connected through threads, and the inside is in communication with the cavity 123.

[0035] The inflation assembly 10 comprises an outer shell 101 fixed with the first shell 121, and the oil inlet cap 13 passes through the outer shell 101. After the oil inlet cap 13 and the support seat 122 are fixed by screwing, the first shell 121, the support seat 122 and the outer shell 101 can be fixed and pressed together to start the fixed function. The inner cavity of the outer shell 101 is slidably provided with a first sleeve 102, and the outer shell 101 and the first sleeve 102 are mutually sealed. Specifically, a sealing ring is arranged on the first sleeve 102 close to the transmission box 12. The inner cavity of the first sleeve 102 is slidably and sealingly provided with a second sleeve 103. The end of the outer shell 101 away from the transmission box 12 is provided with a sliding sleeve slidably connected with the second sleeve 103. The sliding sleeve is provided with a sealing ring. The end of the first sleeve 102 away from the transmission box 12 is close to the sliding sleeve on the second sleeve 103. The second sleeve 103 and the first sleeve 102 are mutually sealed. The cavity surrounded by the outer shell 101, the first sleeve 102 and the second sleeve 103 is filled with high-pressure gas to form a high-pressure area. Specifically, in order to maintain the performance of the spring, the high-pressure gas is usually nitrogen. The filled nitrogen pushes the second sleeve 103 to be in a contracted state in the outer shell 101.

[0036] The inflation assembly 10 further comprises a threaded shaft 107 connected with the output shaft of the driving assembly 11 through gear transmission. The threaded shaft 107 is provided with a sliding sleeve 104 connected with the second sleeve 103 through a connecting piece 105. The threaded shaft 107 is located inside the second sleeve 103. The second sleeve 103 is provided with a second universal joint 106 at the extending end for connection with the automobile. Therefore, when the driving assembly 11 is started, the threaded shaft 107 can be driven to rotate through gear transmission, thereby driving the sliding sleeve 104 to drive the connecting piece 105 and the second sleeve 103 to output linearly. When the driving assembly 11 is stopped, the sliding sleeve 104, the connecting piece 105 and the second sleeve 103 have a tendency to retract inwardly under the pushing of the high-pressure gas. The retraction is mainly based on the friction between the sliding sleeve 104 and the threaded shaft 107. When the friction is small, the sliding sleeve 104 can be automatically retracted through the pressure difference of the high-pressure gas without reverse rotation of the driving assembly 11. However, when the friction is large, the sliding sleeve 104 still needs to be retracted through the driving of the driving assembly 11.

[0037] As Figure 4 , 5As shown in Figure 6, in a preferred embodiment, the second sleeve 103 is provided with a sleeve end 1031 for easy engagement with the connector 105. The sleeve end 1031 is a part extending from the second sleeve 103, and its diameter is smaller than the outer ring size on which the sealing ring is installed. The sleeve end 1031 is provided with a concave snap-fit ​​groove 1032. Specifically, the snap-fit ​​groove 1032 is an arc-shaped groove. The snap-fit ​​groove 1032 engages with the snap-fit ​​platform 1051 provided on the connector 105. The snap-fit ​​platform 1051 is an arc-shaped boss that protrudes inward on the inner ring of the connector 105. The second sleeve 103 is inserted into the connector 105, and is prevented from disengaging after the snap-fit ​​groove 1032 and the snap-fit ​​platform 1051 are engaged with each other.

[0038] The socket end 1031 is also provided with a raised first limiting platform 1033; the connector 105 is provided with a first limiting groove 1052 to facilitate mutual docking and limiting with the first limiting platform 1033. Through the limiting of the first limiting platform 1033 and the first limiting groove 1052, the second sleeve 103 and the connector 105 are prevented from rotating relative to each other.

[0039] The sliding sleeve 104 is provided with a plug groove 1041 for easy insertion of the connector 105. The connector 105 is provided with a plurality of through connecting holes 1053. The sliding sleeve 104 is provided with a pin through the connecting holes 1053 to fix the sliding sleeve 104 and the connector 105 to each other.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the above, the second housing 124 is provided with a through hole 126, and a bolt 127 is provided in the through hole 126 to be threadedly fastened to the first universal connector 14. By screwing the bolt 127 into the first universal connector 14, the first universal connector 14 and the second housing 124 are fixed to each other.

[0041] The first universal joint 14 is provided with a plurality of second limiting grooves 141, and the lower side of the second housing 124 is provided with a second limiting platform 125 that cooperates with the second limiting grooves 141. By the mutual fastening and cooperation of the second limiting grooves 141 and the second limiting platform 125, the rotation of the first universal joint 14 can be prevented when the rotating bolt 127 is tightened, and the orientation of the first universal joint 14 can be restricted, thereby facilitating installation with the mounting position on the vehicle.
