The bottom of the first sealing gasket plate 43 and the top of the shell body 41 are connected by bolts, and a circular fitting cavity 44 is formed in the first sealing gasket plate 43. The top of the second sealing gasket plate 45 and the bottom of the shell body 41 are connected by bolts, and a sealing ring 46 is arranged in the second sealing gasket plate 45. The push spring 47 is arranged around the edge of the first sealing gasket plate 43, and the push spring 47 comprises a fixed plate 471 arranged at the bottom of the first sealing gasket plate 43, a spring body 472 connected with the fixed plate 471 and an abutting plate 474 abutting against the shaft sleeve 31. The fixed plate 471 is provided with an extension rod 473 in the middle, the spring body 472 is fixedly connected with the abutting plate 474, and the extension rod 473 can guide the spring body 472 during the extension and retraction of the spring body 472, so as to avoid the deformation of the spring body 472.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-4The transmission assembly 3 comprises a shaft sleeve 31 installed inside the inner cavity 42, a roller screw 34 and a nut 35 installed inside the shaft sleeve 31, and a transmission spring 39 sleeved between the roller screw 34 and the nut 35. The shaft sleeve 31 has a hollow cylindrical structure, the outer diameter of the shaft sleeve 31 is matched with the inner diameter of the shell 41, a sliding groove is formed in the inner part of the shell 41, and a sliding strip matched with the sliding groove is arranged on the outer wall of the shaft sleeve 31, so that the shaft sleeve 31 can slide inside the inner cavity 42. A sliding cavity 32 is formed at one end of the inner part of the shaft sleeve 31, and an abutting cavity 33 is formed at the other end. The roller screw 34 is arranged inside the shaft sleeve 31, one end of the roller screw 34 is connected with the speed reduction assembly 2, and the roller screw 34 can rotate synchronously with the speed reduction assembly 2. The nut 35 is sleeved on the outer wall of the roller screw 34, and during the rotation of the roller screw 34, the nut 35 can move along the direction of the roller screw 34, and finally drive the shaft sleeve 31 to slide, converting the rotary motion into linear motion. During the movement of the nut 35, the transmission spring 39 sleeved between the roller screw 34 and the nut 35 gradually changes from the compressed state to the relaxed state, the elastic force generated by the transmission spring 39 can further increase the friction force between the nut 35 and the roller screw 34, thereby partially compensating the thread gap between the roller screw 34 and the nut 35, reducing the backlash error during commutation, improving the repeat positioning accuracy; at the same time, the vibration energy is consumed, the low-frequency oscillation of the actuator in the heavy load environment is reduced, and the anti-interference ability of the actuator is improved. The nut 35 is embedded in the sliding cavity 32, the bottom of the nut 35 is fixedly connected with the shaft sleeve 31, and the nut 35 can drive the shaft sleeve 31 to slide synchronously during the sliding process. The abutting plate 474 abuts against the top of the shaft sleeve 31, and during the sliding process of the shaft sleeve 31 along the inner cavity 42 following the nut, the spring body 472 changes from the compressed state to the relaxed state, the elastic force generated by the spring body 472 is uniformly transmitted to the shaft sleeve 31 through the abutting plate 474, further increasing the friction force between the nut 35 and the roller screw 34. The height of the telescopic rod 473 is less than the distance between the shaft sleeve 31 in the initial state and the first sealing gasket plate 43, so that the shaft sleeve 31 can normally slide, and at the same time, the telescopic rod 473 can abut against the abutting plate 474 when the spring body 472 is in the compressed state, the pressure received by the abutting plate 474 is transmitted through the telescopic rod 473, and the service life of the spring body 472 is prolonged. One end of the shaft sleeve 31 is fixedly connected with the output shaft 38, the sealing ring 46 is sleeved on the outer side of the output shaft 38, and the shaft sleeve 31 can synchronously drive the output shaft 38 to slide during the sliding process.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-4The roller screw 34 is provided with an angular contact bearing 36 on the side close to the speed reduction assembly 2, and is provided with a buffer washer 37 on the side close to the output shaft 38. The angular contact bearing 36 is installed inside the first sealing gasket plate 43, specifically, the angular contact bearing 36 is installed inside the embedded cavity 44. The buffer washer 37 is installed inside the abutting cavity 33 on the shaft sleeve 31, and the bottom of the buffer washer 37 is flush with the bottom of the shaft sleeve 31. When the shaft sleeve 31 slides along the inner cavity 42 to contact the second sealing gasket plate 45, the buffer washer 37 can provide buffering for the shaft sleeve 31. The output shaft 38 is arranged inside the buffer washer 37, and the output shaft 38 penetrates the second sealing gasket plate 45 downward.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The speed reduction assembly 2 includes a box body 21 and a first transmission gear 22, a second transmission gear 23 and a third transmission gear 25 arranged inside the box body 21. The box body 21 is arranged in a hollow structure, and the bottom of the box body 21 is connected with the top of the first sealing gasket plate 43. The first transmission gear 22, the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25 are meshed with each other, and the speed reduction ratio between the first transmission gear 22 and the second transmission gear 23 and between the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25 is 5:1. By increasing the number of gears on the basis of increasing the speed reduction ratio between the gears, the overall speed reduction ratio of the speed reduction assembly 2 can be effectively increased, so that the speed reduction assembly 2 can output greater torque, thereby providing greater driving force for the transmission assembly 3. The third transmission gear 25 is arranged above the first sealing gasket plate 43 and coaxially arranged with the roller screw 34. The third transmission gear 25 is connected with a second rotating shaft 26 inside the third transmission gear 25, and the second rotating shaft 26 is rotatably installed inside the box body 21 and connected with the roller screw 34 downward. The angular contact bearing 36 is arranged on the side of the roller screw 34 close to the third transmission gear 25, and the second rotating shaft 26 penetrates the angular contact bearing 36. The second transmission gear 23 is connected with a first rotating shaft 24 inside the second transmission gear 23, and the first rotating shaft 24 is rotatably installed inside the box body 21, and the second transmission gear 23 can rotate relative to the box body 21.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The driving assembly 1 includes a motor 11 and a motor shaft 12. The motor 11 is installed on the top of the box body 21, the motor shaft 12 penetrates the box body 21 and is connected with the first transmission gear 22 downward. The operation of the motor 11 can drive the first transmission gear 22 to rotate synchronously through the motor shaft 12, and then drive the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25 to rotate synchronously through the meshing between the first transmission gear 22, the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25. During the rotation process, greater torque can be output through the transmission of the speed reduction ratio between the first transmission gear 22, the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear25.

[0032] Specifically, when the linear actuator is running, the motor 11 runs through the motor shaft 12 to drive the first transmission gear 22 to rotate, further drive the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25 to rotate, in the rotating process, through the transmission of the speed reduction ratio between the first transmission gear 22, the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25, a larger torque is output. The torque output by the third transmission gear 25 is synchronously transmitted to the roller screw 34 through the second rotating shaft 26, and the roller screw 34 is driven to rotate. In the rotating process of the roller screw 34, the nut 35 sleeved on the outer wall of the roller screw 34 generates rolling friction with the roller screw 34, so that the nut 35 moves along the roller screw 34, drives the shaft sleeve 31 to slide, converts the rotary motion into linear motion, and then drives the output shaft 38 to slide through the shaft sleeve 31, thereby completing the output of the actuator. In the moving process of the nut 35, the transmission spring 39 gradually changes from the compressed state to the relaxed state, and the spring body 472 changes from the compressed state to the relaxed state. The elastic force generated by the transmission spring 39 and the spring body 472 can further increase the friction between the nut 35 and the roller screw 34, thereby partially compensating for the thread gap between the roller screw 34 and the nut 35, reducing the backlash error during reversing, improving the repeat positioning accuracy, and at the same time consuming vibration energy, reducing the low-frequency oscillation of the actuator in the heavy load environment, and improving the anti-interference ability of the actuator.

[0033] The first transmission gear 22, the second transmission gear 23 and the third transmission gear 25 are arranged to replace the traditional belt pulley for speed reduction, and on the basis of increasing the speed reduction ratio between the gears, the number of gears is further increased, so that the overall speed reduction ratio of the speed reduction assembly 2 can be effectively increased, and the speed reduction assembly 2 can output a larger torque to provide a larger driving force for the transmission assembly 3.
