Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the range of protection of the utility model.
[0021] WITH REFERENCE Figs. 1-2 The utility model provides an embodiment: a kind of rolling type guiding structure of electric cylinder, including cylinder 2, cylinder 2 upper portion is equipped with upper end cover 1, cylinder 2 lower portion is equipped with lower end cover 5, cylinder 2 outside is equipped with nut 3, cylinder 2 inside is equipped with ball 4, cylinder 2 inner wall is equipped with two straight grooves symmetrically, upper end cover 1 and lower end cover 5 are equipped with straight groove respectively, the surface of nut 3 is equipped with the straight groove matched with cylinder 2 groove symmetrically, nut 3 two sides are equipped with channel symmetrically, channel and cylinder 2, upper end cover 1 and lower end cover 5 jointly form closed groove loop, ball 4 is arranged in groove loop, and annular arrangement and circulation flow are formed in loop, upper end cover 1 and lower end cover 5 are fixed on nut 3 to shield groove slide, the cross section of groove slide is at an angle a with the axial center line of cylinder 2.
[0022] Specifically, when the electric cylinder works, the nut 3 moves axially along the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 2, and is guided and supported by the ball 4, the ball 4 is arranged in the closed loop formed by the groove of the cylinder barrel 2, the groove of the nut 3 and the groove of the end cover, and the movement of the ball 4 in the loop relies on rolling friction instead of sliding friction, and the contact form is point contact or line contact, which greatly reduces the frictional resistance compared with the traditional sliding friction, improves the movement efficiency, and the ball 4 transmits movement and force by rolling between the grooves, so that the axial movement of the nut 3 on the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 2 is more stable, the ball 4 realizes circulation through the hole on both sides of the nut 3, when the nut 3 moves forward, the ball 4 moves along the groove of the cylinder barrel 2 and provides support and guidance for the nut 3, when the ball 4 reaches the groove of the end cover, it is guided into the hole through the groove on the end cover, and then the ball 4 reenters the groove of the cylinder barrel 2 to continue to support and guide, in this way, the ball 4 is always in a continuous and closed loop, the closed groove loop ensures the stability of the ball 4 in the movement, and the point contact between the ball 4 and the groove reduces the contact friction coefficient, further improving the working efficiency of the electric cylinder, in addition, the angle design of the groove slide also optimizes the circulation path of the ball 4, avoiding the problems of jamming or uneven movement of the ball 4 in high-speed movement, ensuring that it can still maintain stability under high load and high speed conditions.
[0023] Working principle: when the electric cylinder works, the nut 3 moves axially along the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 2, and since the ball 4 is in the groove loop, the ball 4 relies on rolling friction instead of sliding friction in the movement, and forms point contact or line contact with the groove of the cylinder barrel 2, the groove of the nut 3 and the groove of the end cover, so that the ball 4 can circulate smoothly in the groove loop, while reducing the frictional resistance in the traditional sliding structure, the ball 4 circulates through the hole on both sides of the nut 3, when the nut 3 moves forward, the ball 4 moves along the groove of the cylinder barrel 2 and provides support and guidance for the nut 3; when the ball 4 reaches the groove of the end cover, it is guided into the hole through the groove on the end cover, and then returns to the groove of the cylinder barrel 2 to continue to support and guide, through the closed groove structure, the ball 4 can realize continuous circulation, so as to ensure the stability and efficiency of the movement.
