Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of servo electric cylinder technology, specifically a servo electric cylinder with buffer protection function. Background Technology
[0002] Servo electric cylinders are modular products that integrate servo motors and lead screws, converting the rotary motion of the servo motor into linear motion. Because servo electric cylinders use closed-loop servo control, they have high control precision, low cost, and flexible configuration, making them the best alternative to hydraulic cylinders and pneumatic cylinders. They are widely used in military, entertainment facilities, automobile manufacturing and other industries.
[0003] According to CN211557060U, a servo electric cylinder with buffer protection function is provided. By cooperating with a first buffer column and a second buffer column, when the moving rod extends out of the cylinder body, the moving plate contacts the object but does not cause damage to the object. When the moving rod retracts into the cylinder body, the moving plate will not collide with the sealed cylinder cover. By providing a first spring and a second spring, the servo electric cylinder has a buffer function, which reduces the impact of impact load on the performance and accuracy of the servo electric cylinder and increases the service life of the servo electric cylinder. The bearing is fixedly connected inside the mounting cover plate, and the inside of the bearing is movably connected to the surface of the lead screw.
[0004] By setting a first spring and a second spring inside the cylinder, the servo electric cylinder can have a buffering function. However, the spring has a certain elastic limit, and the frequent operation of the electric cylinder can easily cause the stiffness of the spring to decrease over time, thereby reducing the buffering capacity of the electric cylinder.

At the same time, the slider 3 drives the piston rod 6 and the sliding piston 8 to move inside the buffer cylinder 7.

During the flow, the movement of the moving rod 4 is buffered. In addition, high-pressure gas is provided between the floating piston 11 and the buffer cylinder 7. The change in gas volume can play a certain buffering role, thereby improving the buffering effect of the servo electric cylinder.

The buffer cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 1. A spring is provided between the sliding piston 8 and the compression pad 9 and the rebound pad 10.

[0033] In use, the servo motor 15 is started, causing the first bevel gear 16 to work. The second bevel gear 19 drives the rotating rod 18 to rotate, the third bevel gear 20 rotates accordingly, and the fourth bevel gear 21 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate. The moving rod 4 rotates on its surface and moves inside the slide groove 2 through the slider 3 to limit the movement, causing the moving rod 4 to move linearly. At the same time, the connecting spring 5 is compressed and contracted. The slider 3 drives the piston rod 6 and the sliding piston 8 to move inside the buffer cylinder 7. The pressure generated by the sliding piston 8 causes the oil above it to flow through the piston valve to the bottom of the sliding piston 8. During the flow, the movement of the moving rod 4 is buffered. High-pressure gas is provided between the floating piston 11 and the buffer cylinder 7. The change in gas volume can play a certain buffering role, thereby avoiding collision between the moving rod 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1. After the servo electric cylinder has been working for a period of time, the oil pump 24 is started, so that the lubricating oil in the oil tank 23 enters the connecting pipe 26 through the conduit 25 and is sprayed out through the oil outlet plate 27, thereby lubricating the components inside the mounting base 17.
