Description

Technical Field

[0002] Electric cylinders can convert the rotary motion output by a motor into linear motion and are widely used in industrial and automated equipment. With the continuous development of automation, there is an increasing demand for highly integrated electric cylinders that can achieve small size, high precision, and high thrust, especially in the lithium battery coating industry. In the coating die head, many micrometer-like devices are often installed side by side. The uniformity of coating is improved by manually adjusting the gap on the die head. The coating quality mainly depends on the density of the micrometers installed side by side and the adjustment accuracy of the micrometers. At the same time, the micrometers need to be self-locking after adjustment to resist the pressure inside the die head cavity.

[0003] Existing manual micrometer adjustment devices have many shortcomings:

[0004] 1) Due to the influence of human factors, the adjustment error is relatively large, and it is easy to make the adjustment insufficient or excessive, resulting in uneven coating thickness and poor coating quality.

[0005] 2) Manual operation and adjustment lead to low adjustment efficiency and long time consumption.

[0006] 3) Unable to achieve automated and intelligent remote control.

[0007] 4) Repeated manual adjustments will generate a lot of waste, resulting in low slurry utilization and poor economic efficiency.

[0008] Therefore, how to develop a small-sized, high-thrust, and high-precision electric device to replace the manual micrometer has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
