[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0029] like Figure 1The utility model discloses electric cylinder structure, including the drive motor that is constituted by stator subassembly 1 and rotor subassembly 2, still including installation base 40, stator subassembly 1 is fixedly installed on installation base 40, installation base 40 has installation flange 41, and can be fixedly installed on the fixed device of use field through this installation flange 41. Rotor subassembly 2 is placed in the inner ring of stator subassembly 1, and the rear end 201 of rotor shaft 20 of rotor subassembly 2 is rotatablely installed on installation base 40 through bearing etc. subassembly, similarly, the front end 202 of this rotor shaft 20 is installed on the front end cover 3 of drive motor through bearing etc. subassembly. The lead screw 10 or the lead screw nut 11 is fixedly installed on the front end of rotor shaft 20, and the lead screw 10 or the lead screw nut 11 can be driven to rotate by rotor shaft 20. That is, the lead screw 10 or the lead screw nut 11 can be fixedly installed on the front section of rotor shaft 20 in alternative mode, namely, if the lead screw 10 is fixedly installed on the front section of rotor shaft 20, then the lead screw nut 11 installed on the lead screw 10 is installed on the driven member, and the lead screw nut 11 can be driven to make linear reciprocating motion together with the driven member by rotor shaft 20 driving the lead screw 10 to rotate. Similarly, the lead screw nut 11 can be fixedly installed on the front section of rotor shaft 20, and the lead screw 10 is installed on the driven member, and the lead screw 10 can be driven to make linear reciprocating motion together with the driven member by rotor shaft 20 driving the lead screw nut 11 to rotate. As above, the utility model discloses electric cylinder structure, and the lead screw 10 or the lead screw nut 11 is installed in drive motor, which can effectively reduce the overall volume of electric cylinder, make the layout of each component more reasonable and compact, and installation base 40 is the component part of drive motor, so that drive motor forms integral structure, the overall structure is optimized, and mechanical strength is obviously improved.

[0030] Further, also can be like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, a braking permanent magnet and a braking electromagnetic coil (not shown) are disposed within the mounting base 40. A braking armature 42 may also be disposed therein, and the braking armature 42 is connected to the rear end of the rotor shaft 20 (specifically, a connecting disk 43 may be fixedly connected to the rear end 201 of the rotor shaft 20, and the braking armature 42 and the connecting disk 43 may be connected by a spring piece 423). The spring piece 423 causes the braking armature 42 to rotate synchronously with the connecting disk 43 and the rotor shaft 20 in the circumferential direction, while having a certain movement clearance in the axial direction of the rotor shaft 20. Thus, when the braking electromagnetic coil is de-energized, the braking armature 42 is attracted by the braking permanent magnet and moves axially and adheres to the braking permanent magnet (i.e., the mounting base 40), thereby keeping the rotor shaft 20 in its current position without rotating or shifting, which is beneficial for precise positioning. When the braking electromagnetic coil is energized, the magnetic field force generated by the braking electromagnetic coil cancels the magnetic force of the braking permanent magnet, allowing the braking armature 42 to detach from the braking permanent magnet (i.e., the mounting base 40) and rotate synchronously with the rotor shaft 20 to ensure the linear motion drive function of the electric cylinder.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the electric cylinder structure of this utility model also includes a front end cover 3, which is fixedly installed on the front end of the mounting base 40, and the front end cover 3 and the mounting base 40 form an inner space for setting the stator assembly 1. That is, as... Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 40 has an axially extending wall 401, a platform 402 extending towards the center, and a wall 403 extending axially from the end of the platform 402 towards the rear end. The wall 401, the platform 402, and the front end cover 3 form a concave inner space, and the stator assembly 1 is disposed within this concave inner space. This structure is more refined and can effectively improve the overall strength of the electric cylinder and increase production efficiency.

[0032] In practical applications, it can also be like... Figure 3 As shown, a housing 8 is provided on the outer ring of the stator assembly 1. The stator assembly 1 is fixedly mounted to the mounting base 40 via the housing 8, and the stator assembly 1 is located on the outer ring of the rotor assembly 2. As described above, the front end cover 3 is fixedly mounted to the front end of the housing 8. The front end cover 3, the housing 8, and the mounting base 40 (specifically, a platform 402 extending from the center of the mounting base 40) form an inner space for mounting the stator assembly 1.

[0033] In the electric cylinder structure of this utility model, a first mounting step 21 and a second mounting step 22 are sequentially arranged on the outer wall of the middle part of the rotor shaft 20 from front to back. The front end 202 of the rotor shaft 20 is connected to the front end cover 3 by an angular contact bearing 92; the first mounting step 21 is connected to the first fixed step 401 opened on the front end face of the mounting base 40 by a thrust bearing 96; and the second mounting step 22 is connected to the second fixed step 402 opened in the middle part of the mounting base 40 by a deep groove ball bearing 97.

[0034] In the electric cylinder structure described in this utility model, the lead screw 10 can be driven to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw nut 11 to perform linear reciprocating motion; conversely, the lead screw 10 can be driven to rotate, thereby causing the lead screw nut 11 to perform linear reciprocating motion. Therefore, as follows... Figure 5 As shown, the mounting flange 112 of the lead screw nut 11 can be fixed by screwing the bolt 111 into the mounting hole 93 on the front end face of the rotor shaft 20, thereby driving the lead screw nut 11 to rotate through the rotor shaft 20 and driving the lead screw to perform linear reciprocating motion. Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting flange 101 of the lead screw 10 is fixed by screwing the bolt 102 into the mounting hole 94 of the concave stepped platform 203 at the front end of the rotor shaft 20, and then the rotor shaft 20 drives the lead screw 10 to rotate, thereby driving the lead screw nut 11 to perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0035] In the electric cylinder structure described in this utility model, an encoder 7 is also provided to achieve precise position control of the drive motor. The encoder 7 is fixedly installed relative to the mounting base 40. That is, as... Figure 1 As shown, the encoder 7 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting base 40, or as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the encoder 7 is fixedly mounted on the cover 5 at the rear end of the mounting base 40 (the cover 5 is fixed relative to the mounting base 40, and also encloses the mounting base 40, brake armature 42, and connecting plate 43). Furthermore, an encoder cover 6 can also be provided to enclose the encoder 7.

Furthermore, by setting the brake armature 42, the rotor shaft of the electric cylinder can be kept stationary in the event of a sudden power outage or sudden malfunction, improving the safety of the electric cylinder, preventing the shaft system of the electric cylinder from moving due to external vibration in the non-working state, and improving the overall accuracy and stability of the electric cylinder.
