Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A six-axis electric cylinder device includes a first fixed base 1, a servo motor 2 fixed inside the first fixed base 1, a second fixed base 3 fixed to the left side of the servo motor 2, and the servo motor 2 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first fixed base 1 through the second fixed base 3 to ensure the stability of the servo motor 2 during operation and prevent interference from the vibration of the servo motor 2. The left side of the second fixed base 3 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the first fixed base 1. A coupling 4 is fixed to the output end of the servo motor 2, and the function of the coupling 4 is to fix the right end of the lead screw 9 to the output end of the servo motor 2. An outer cylinder 5 is fixed to the left side of the first fixed base 1, a third fixed base 6 is fixed to the right end of the outer wall of the outer cylinder 5, and a fourth fixed base 7 is fixed to the left end of the outer wall of the outer cylinder 5. A connecting rod 8 evenly arranged is fixed between the third fixed base 6 and the fourth fixed base 7. The connecting rod 8 can ensure that the electric cylinder has better overall force distribution and is safer during use.

[0027] A lead screw 9 is horizontally arranged inside the outer cylinder 5. A symmetrical angular contact bearing 10 is fixedly sleeved on the right end of the lead screw 9. The lead screw 9 can rotate inside the outer cylinder 5 through the angular contact bearing 10, which improves stability. The right end of the lead screw 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 2 through the coupling 4. A first locking nut 11 is fixed on the right end of the lead screw 9 located on the angular contact bearing 10, and a second locking nut 12 is fixed on the left end of the lead screw 9 located on the angular contact bearing 10. The first locking nut 11 and the second locking nut 12 are used to limit the position of the angular contact bearing 10 to prevent position movement during use.

[0028] The lead screw 9 has an external threaded lead screw nut 13. A bushing 14 is fixed to the right side of the lead screw nut 13. The outer wall of the bushing 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 5. This ensures that when the lead screw 9 rotates, the bushing 14 can move to the left without rotating with the lead screw 9 due to the threaded connection between them. A push tube 15 is fixed to the left side of the lead screw nut 13. The push tube 15 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 9 and its left end is slidably connected to the fourth fixed seat 7.

[0029] Connectors 16 are fixed to the left end of the push tube 15 and the right side of the first fixed seat 1. Universal joints 17 are fixed to the side wall of connectors 16. By setting universal joints 17, the electric cylinder can be ensured to be subjected to more even force during use. Even with large-scale movement, the electric cylinder will not be pulled, ensuring its smooth movement. Sound-absorbing cotton 19 is fixed to the outside of the lead screw nut 13. By setting sound-absorbing cotton 19, the transmission of noise is prevented, making the noise less during operation.

[0030] A buffer rubber 18 is fixed on the left side of the second locking nut 12. By setting the buffer rubber 18, when the lead screw nut 13 and bushing 14 move to the right, the buffer rubber 18 can effectively buffer them and prevent damage to the lead screw nut 13 and bushing 14.

[0031] The inner wall of the fourth fixing seat 7 is fixed with a hard oil seal 21 to increase the sealing performance and prevent oil leakage.

[0032] The number of evenly distributed connecting rods 8 is four, and they are evenly distributed to ensure force balance.

[0033] A wear-resistant bushing 20 is fixed to the left end inside the outer cylinder 5. The outer wall of the push tube 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the wear-resistant bushing 20 in order to prevent the outer cylinder 5 from being damaged due to long-term wear between the push tube 15 and the outer cylinder 5.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Start the servo motor 2. The servo motor 2 drives the lead screw 9 to rotate through the coupling 4. The lead screw 9 drives the external lead screw nut 13 to move. Under the limiting action of the bushing 14, the lead screw nut 13 moves to the left end. The lead screw nut 13 drives the push tube 15 at the left end to move to the left end, thereby realizing the telescopic movement. When the push tube 15 moves to the leftmost end, the servo motor 2 reverses and the push tube 15 moves to the right end, thereby realizing the reciprocating telescopic movement of the push tube 15.
