[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a servo motor 1 is included. The servo motor 1 serves as a power source and can provide stable and adjustable power output. A drive box 2 is provided at one end of the servo motor 1. The drive box 2 is used to perform preliminary processing and transmission of the power output by the servo motor 1. A multi-stage gearbox 3 is installed at one end of the drive box 2. The multi-stage gearbox 3 can realize multi-stage speed change to meet the requirements of the electric cylinder output speed and torque under different working conditions. A power cylinder 4 is installed at the other end of the multi-stage gearbox 3. The power cylinder 4 is a key component for the electric cylinder to achieve linear motion. A floating flange 5 is provided at one end of the power cylinder 4. The floating flange 5 facilitates the connection of the electric cylinder with the vehicle leveling leg or other components, and can adapt to certain installation errors and angle changes. The drive box 2 is equipped with a gear set 10, which transmits and converts power within the drive box 2. The power cylinder 4 is equipped with a lead screw 6, which is the core component that converts rotary motion into linear motion. A large bevel gear 22 is externally sleeved at one end of the lead screw 6. One end of the gear set 10 meshes with the large bevel gear 22, transmitting power from the drive box 2 to the lead screw 6 through the meshing of the gear set 10 and the large bevel gear 22. The large bevel gear 22 meshes with a small bevel gear 21, which further changes the direction and speed of power transmission. A gear 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the small bevel gear 21. A first interface 33 is installed on the upper end of the gear 34, which can be used to connect external control equipment or other transmission components. A gear 32 is meshed with one end of the gear 34, and a second interface 31 is installed on the upper end of the gear 32, which can also be used to connect to external equipment and transmit power.

[0021] The gearbox has two input interfaces. The first interface directly drives the small bevel gear 21, and the second interface 31 drives two-stage or multi-stage gears. When driving the first interface 33, the electric cylinder has a faster extension and retraction speed. When driving the second interface 31, the extension and retraction speed of the electric cylinder is slower, but the driving force is smaller. When retracting or extending at high speed under no-load conditions, the first interface 33 can be used. When under load, the second interface 31 can be used to reduce the driving force and increase the adjustment accuracy. A lead screw nut 15 is installed on the lead screw 6. The lead screw nut 15 cooperates with the lead screw 6. When the lead screw 6 rotates, the lead screw nut 15 moves linearly along the axis of the lead screw 6. An anti-rotation baffle 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw nut 15. The anti-rotation baffle 14 is used to prevent the lead screw nut 15 from rotating during the movement and to ensure the accuracy of its linear movement. An anti-rotation block 12 is provided on the outer side of the anti-rotation baffle 14. An anti-rotation strip 13 is installed on one side of the anti-rotation block 12 on the inner wall of the power cylinder 4. The anti-rotation strip 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the power cylinder 4 by bolts. A groove is opened on the side wall of one end of the anti-rotation strip 13. The anti-rotation block 12 slides up and down inside the groove. The cooperation between the anti-rotation block 12 and the anti-rotation strip 13 further enhances the anti-rotation effect. The anti-rotation baffle 14 includes an anti-rotation area 141 and a positioning area 142. Two anti-rotation areas 141 and two positioning areas 142 are provided, arranged opposite each other. The lead screw nut 15 has grooves that match the anti-rotation areas 141 and 142. This structural design can more effectively restrict the rotation of the lead screw nut 15 and achieve precise positioning. The exterior of the anti-rotation baffle 14 has a slot for installing the anti-rotation block 12, and the upper end of the anti-rotation baffle 14 has a slot for fixing the power shaft 11. The power shaft 11 is located outside the lead screw 6, and a supporting spherical surface 16 is provided on the top of the power shaft 11. A floating flange 5 is installed on one side of the supporting spherical surface 16. Through the cooperation of the power shaft 11 with the anti-rotation baffle 14 and the connection between the supporting spherical surface 16 and the floating flange 5, stable support and transmission of the output force of the electric cylinder are achieved. A thrust bearing 9 is installed at the contact point between the lead screw 6 and the drive housing 2. The thrust bearing 9 can withstand the axial force of the lead screw 6, ensuring its stable operation. A cylindrical sleeve is installed behind the thrust bearing 9, which is fitted over the lead screw 6. A radial support bearing 7 is installed on the outside of the cylindrical sleeve. One end of the small bevel gear 21 is inserted into the radial support bearing 7, which supports the small bevel gear 21 and reduces its radial runout during rotation. One end of the lead screw 6 is inserted into the gear set 10 for internal connection, and the gear set 10 drives the lead screw 6 to rotate. A tension bearing 8 is installed on one side of the large bevel gear 22, which can withstand the tension generated by the large bevel gear 22 during transmission, improving the stability of the transmission system.

[0022] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Servo motor 1 serves as the core power source, outputting stable and adjustable rotational power. This power is first transmitted to drive box 2, and the processed power from drive box 2 is transmitted to multi-stage gearbox 3. Multi-stage gearbox 3 utilizes internal gear combinations of different specifications to achieve multi-stage speed change. The output speed and torque can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual working conditions of vehicle leveling, ensuring stable operation of the electric cylinder under different loads and precision requirements. Afterward, power is transmitted from multi-stage gearbox 3 to power cylinder 4. The lead screw 6 inside power cylinder 4 is a key component for motion conversion. One end of the lead screw 6 is sleeved with a large bevel gear 22, which meshes with the gear set 10 inside drive box 2, receiving the transmitted rotational power. Simultaneously, the large bevel gear 22 meshes with the small bevel gear 21. The small bevel gear 21, through gear one 34, gear two 32, and corresponding first interface 33 and second interface 31, can connect to external control equipment or transmission components. When the lead screw 6 receives rotational power, the lead screw nut 15, due to its threaded structure, converts the rotational motion of the lead screw 6 into linear motion along the lead screw axis, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the electric cylinder and driving the vehicle leveling leg to rise and fall. To ensure the accuracy of the linear motion of the lead screw nut 15, an anti-rotation and positioning structure is set. The anti-rotation baffle 14 fixed at one end of the lead screw nut 15 has an anti-rotation area 141 and a positioning area 142 that cooperate with the groove on the lead screw nut 15 to restrict the rotational freedom of the lead screw nut 15. At the same time, the anti-rotation block 12 on the outer side of the anti-rotation baffle 14 cooperates with the anti-rotation strip 13 on the inner side wall of the power cylinder 4. The groove of the anti-rotation strip 13 provides guidance for the anti-rotation block 12, further preventing the lead screw nut 15 from rotating and ensuring the accuracy of linear motion. In addition, the anti-rotation baffle 14 is connected to the power shaft 11 through a slot. The support ball 16 on the top of the power shaft 11 and the floating flange 5 cooperate to achieve stable support and transmission of the output force of the electric cylinder, ensuring the stability of the leveling process.
