However, this traditional drive device has many drawbacks. It is bulky, taking up a lot of space; its components are numerous, increasing the probability of failure; the installation process is complex, requiring highly skilled technicians; and the cost is high, including equipment purchase costs and subsequent maintenance costs.

Example
[0038] See Figures 1-3As shown, a novel electric cylinder direct-drive piston cylinder device includes an electric cylinder 1 disposed below a mounting plate 13, which provides power output. A piston cylinder base 5 is disposed at the upper end of the mounting plate 13, and a piston cylinder 8 is securely mounted on the piston cylinder base 5. The upper end of the piston cylinder 8 is connected to a transition cylinder body 9, which serves as a transition connection. The upper end of the transition cylinder body 9 is fixedly connected to one end of a three-way rotary valve 10. Notably, the other end of the three-way rotary valve 10 is provided with a valve plate, which is driven by a cylinder 2 to open or close, thereby controlling the fluid passage.
[0039] A piston 7 is installed inside the piston cylinder 8, and a seal and a support ring are provided on the piston 7. The seal ensures the airtightness of the piston cylinder 8 and prevents liquid leakage; the support ring supports the piston 7 and keeps it stable during operation. The piston 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod 6, and the other end of the piston rod 6 passes downward through the piston cylinder base 5 and the mounting plate 13 and is connected to the electric cylinder piston rod on the electric cylinder 1 through a coupling 4.
[0040] In this novel electric cylinder direct-drive piston cylinder device, a spacer 3 is provided between the mounting plate 13 and the electric cylinder 1, which plays an important role. The spacer 3 not only provides a certain degree of isolation and buffering between the two, but also achieves precise positioning with the mounting plate 13 through a stop structure.
[0041] The stop structure specifically consists of a first stop located on the upper end of the spacer 3 and a second stop on the lower end face of the mounting plate 13. These two stops cooperate with each other. When the first stop is a convex stop (cylindrical protrusion), the second stop is correspondingly a concave stop (cylindrical groove), and vice versa, thereby achieving precise positioning of the spacer and the mounting plate.
[0042] Furthermore, the shape and size of the first and second stops can be adjusted according to actual installation requirements, as long as they can be tightly fitted and accurately positioned. This stop positioning method ensures the relative positional accuracy of the mounting plate 13 and the electric cylinder 1, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the entire device.
[0043] In this embodiment, the piston cylinder base 5 is bolted to the mounting plate 13. This connection method is simple and reliable, ensuring a tight fit between the two. Simultaneously, a third stop is provided at the bottom of the piston cylinder base 5, and a corresponding fourth stop is provided on the upper surface of the mounting plate 13. When the third stop is a convex stop (cylindrical protrusion), the fourth stop is a concave stop (cylindrical groove), and vice versa. Through this convex-concave fit, precise positioning of the piston cylinder base 5 and the mounting plate 13 is achieved.
[0044] Similarly, the dimensions and shapes of the third and fourth stops can be flexibly adjusted according to actual installation requirements and design standards, as long as the fitting accuracy of the two can be guaranteed and the positioning requirements can be met. This combination of stop fitting positioning and bolt locking makes the piston cylinder base 5 more securely installed on the mounting plate 13, effectively improving the structural stability and operational reliability of the entire device.
[0045] This invention uses the cooperation of the first stop and the second stop, as well as the cooperation of the third stop and the fourth stop, to position each component from different positions, thus ensuring the accuracy of the entire mechanical structure.
[0046] This precise positioning is a crucial prerequisite for ensuring the coaxiality of piston rod 6 and the electric cylinder piston rod. When the axis of piston rod 6 coincides with the axis of electric cylinder piston rod, the piston 6 experiences more even force during operation within piston cylinder 8. This not only makes piston 6 run more smoothly but also reduces additional friction and impact caused by misalignment. For piston cylinder 8 and its seals, stable operating conditions significantly extend their service life and reduce replacement frequency, thereby indirectly lowering equipment maintenance and overall operating costs, and enhancing the cost-effectiveness and market competitiveness of the device.
[0047] In the connection structure between piston cylinder 8 and transition cylinder 9, a sealing ring 11 is provided between them, and a clamp is used for connection. The function of the sealing ring 11 is to ensure the sealing of the connection between piston cylinder 8 and transition cylinder 9, prevent internal fluid leakage, and thus ensure the normal operation of the entire device. The clamp connection is simple and efficient, and can provide sufficient tightening force to make piston cylinder 8 and transition cylinder 9 tightly combined.
[0048] Furthermore, the sealing ring 11 can be made of different materials and models, but the sealing performance meets the standards. The clamp can also be made of other connecting parts with the same fastening effect, such as a clamp.
[0049] Similarly, a sealing ring 12 is also provided between the transition cylinder 9 and the three-way rotary valve 10, and they are connected by a clamp. The sealing ring 12 ensures the sealing performance at this connection, and the clamp provides a stable connection. This connection and sealing design effectively ensures the sealing performance and structural stability of the fluid passage within the device, meeting the usage requirements of the device under different operating conditions.
[0050] This invention uses an electric cylinder 1 as the core driving element, which generates precise and stable power output. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 1 is tightly connected to the piston rod 6 of the piston cylinder 8 via a coupling, ensuring efficient power transmission. The piston 7 inside the piston cylinder 8 is securely connected to the piston rod 6, and the piston 7 is equipped with a seal and a support ring. The seal and support ring can be made of different materials and specifications depending on the working environment and liquid properties, as long as they meet the functional requirements of sealing and support. These components work together to ensure that no liquid leakage occurs when the piston 7 moves up and down within the piston cylinder 8.
[0051] The upper part of the transition cylinder 9 is connected to the piston cylinder 8 via a clamp, with a sealing ring installed in the middle of the connection to ensure a tight seal. Similarly, the upper part of the transition cylinder 9 is also connected to the three-way rotary valve 10 via a clamp, with a sealing ring installed at the connection. When the three-way rotary valve 10 is open and the piston 7 is located at the lower part of the piston cylinder 8, the liquid can smoothly fill the entire piston cylinder. At this time, the electric cylinder 1 starts to move, the electric cylinder piston rod extends, driving the piston 7 upward, injecting the liquid in the piston cylinder into the bottle or can. By precisely controlling the stroke of the electric cylinder 1, the volume of liquid injected each time can be kept consistent, thus completing a precise filling operation. Subsequently, the electric cylinder piston rod retracts, the three-way rotary valve reopens to continue injecting liquid into the piston cylinder 8, preparing for the next filling. This cycle repeats continuously, according to a pre-set rhythm and control program, enabling efficient and stable batch automatic filling, greatly improving production efficiency and filling accuracy.
[0052] In this device, each electric cylinder and each set of piston cylinders constitutes an independent unit and can be controlled individually. This design offers significant advantages, allowing for precise adjustment of the electric cylinder stroke and piston cylinder operation to meet different filling needs, resulting in more convenient and accurate operation. For multi-head filling equipment, this structure demonstrates great flexibility. Without altering other structural elements, the number of units can be freely increased or decreased according to the customer's actual needs. Whether for small production lines or large filling workshops, it can be quickly adapted through free combination, effectively improving equipment applicability and production efficiency.
