TECHNICAL AREA
[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of the air pressure rod, in particular to the electric air pressure rod. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
[0002] The lifting chair is a new type of chair, mainly consisting of a seat plate, a backrest, a lifting mechanism, and chair legs. It can meet the seat height needs of different people. Existing lifting devices generally have electric, pneumatic, or manual structures. Manual lifting devices are often cumbersome to operate and have poor aesthetic performance, making it difficult to meet people's increasing lifestyle demands. Pneumatic lifting devices generally use gas springs with a self-locking structure. This structure is aesthetically pleasing, and the lifting process is relatively smooth. However, the lifting process requires manual operation, and the chair cannot bear excessively heavy loads during manual ascent.For example, with conventional lifting chairs, people must leave the seat cushion before standing up. When descending, they must sit on the chair and exert a certain load on the seat cushion before descending, which makes using the chair uncomfortable. The lifting device of the electric structure usually consists of the motor, the screw rod, the screw rod nut, and the liner. The device drives the screw rod through the motor to rotate for ascent and descent. The entire lifting process is driven by the motor, thereby achieving automatic ascent and descent. However, if the load weight of the seat plates is greater, the motor power must also be increased accordingly. The volume and noise of the high-power motor during operation also increase, which negatively affects the user experience. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] The present utility model has the following advantages: 1. In the electric air rod, the motor drives the threaded tube to rotate, allowing the outer tube of the lifting rod to move along the axis of the inner tube of the lifting rod, thus enabling the ascent or descent of the air rod. The threaded tube itself forms a gas spring with the piston rod and piston, so the gas spring has a certain output force and, under identical conditions, can reduce the load on the motor and increase the thrust force when the electric air rod is extended. The motor power of this device is lower than that of the motor in a conventional electric push rod, and a battery can be used for power supply, expanding the application range of the electric air rod. The motor is installed in the outer tube of the lifting rod, making the entire electric air rod compact, easy to install, and aesthetically pleasing. 2. In this electric air spring, the threaded tube, piston rod, and piston form a non-self-locking gas spring. By controlling the rotation of the motor, the rotation of the threaded tube can be limited, automatic locking of the gas spring can be achieved, and the stability of the electric air spring can be improved.

[0017] Casing tube 2, which is attached to the outside of the lifting rod, wherein the first guide sleeve 19 is provided between the casing tube 2 and the outer tube of the lifting rod 1.
[0018] There is no self-locking between the nut 10 and the threaded tube 7.
[0019] The outer wall of the inner tube of the lifting rod 3 is provided with the first convex strip 31, which is evenly distributed along its axis, and the inner wall of the inner tube of the lifting rod 3 is provided with evenly distributed first grooves 32 along its axis, wherein the second convex strip 101 is provided on the outer wall of the nut 10, which is adapted to the first groove 32, wherein the second guide sleeve 20 is provided between the outer tube of the lifting rod 1 and the inner tube of the lifting rod 3, wherein the second guide sleeve 20 is fixedly connected to the outer tube of the lifting rod 1, and wherein the second groove 201 is provided on the inner wall of the second guide sleeve 20, which is adapted to the second convex strip 101.
[0020] The drive unit comprises motor 4, gear box 5, and controller. The output end of motor 4 drives the threaded tube 7 for rotation through the gear box 5.
