[Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3]1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a vibration damping assembly according to the present invention; [Figure 4] 1 is a structural diagram of the present invention, showing the connection between the stroke head and the vibration damping assembly; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the present invention provides a tubular motor that includes a main body 1, one end of which is connected to an output shaft 2, and the other end of which is connected to a stroke head 3, and a vibration-damping assembly is provided at the connection between the main body 1 and the stroke head 3, and the vibration-damping assembly includes a flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and a hard connecting sleeve 5, and the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 is fitted onto the end of the stroke head 3 that is inserted into the main body 1, and the hard connecting sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outside of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4, and the main body 1 is fitted onto the hard connecting sleeve 5, thereby enabling vibration damping at the stroke head end.
[0018] In this invention, a vibration-damping assembly is installed at the connection between the main body 1 and the stroke head 3, and the direct contact between the main body 1 and the stroke head 3 is blocked by the internal and external fitting of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and the rigid connecting sleeve 5 in the vibration-damping assembly. The vibration generated by the main body 1 is filtered by the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4, and the transmission of vibration is reduced, thereby playing the role of vibration damping and noise reduction. Here, the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 can play the role of filtering and absorbing vibration, and the rigid connecting sleeve 5 can play the role of supporting the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and preventing its deformation.
[0019] Referring to Figure 2, the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 has a connecting groove 4.1 that runs through both ends along its length, and the end inserted into the main body 1 of the stroke head 3 has a connecting part 3.1 that is inserted into the connecting groove 4.1.
[0020] Here, the connecting portion 3.1 has at least one protrusion 3.2 protruding in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 3.2, and the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 has a mating groove 4.2 that mates with the protrusion 3.2, and the mating groove 4.2 is connected to the connecting groove 4.1. The mating between the protrusion 3.2 and the mating groove 4.2 can support the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and prevent deformation, thereby extending the service life of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4. See Figures 2 and 3. Preferably, the protrusions 3.2 can be two symmetrically arranged, three equally spaced apart, or four equally spaced apart, and the heights of adjacent protrusions 3.2 can be different, thereby better fulfilling the role of support and prevention of deformation.
[0021] 2 and 4, the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 is provided at both ends with a first extending edge 4.3 and a second extending edge 4.4 extending outward. The end of the connecting portion 3.1 facing the main body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 3.3 into which a screw is fastened. A gasket 6 is attached to the screw, and the gasket 6 is attached to the end face of the second extending edge 4.4 facing the main body 1. The outer diameter of the gasket 6 is larger than the inner diameter of the connecting groove 4.1 and smaller than the outer diameter of the second extending edge 4.4. As a result, the gasket 6 can prevent the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 from sliding toward the main body 1, and the gasket This ensures that the gasket 6 does not come into contact with the main body 1, preventing vibration transmission to the gasket 6. The stroke head 3 is provided with a ring-shaped stopper 3.4 against which the first extending edge 4.3 abuts, which can prevent the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 from sliding toward the stroke head 3. The combination of the ring-shaped stopper 3.4 and the first extending edge 4.3, as well as the combination of the screw, gasket 6 and the second extending edge 4.4, acts to restrict the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 in the axial direction, preventing axial movement of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and stabilizing the installation of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4.
[0022] 2 and 4, the rigid connecting sleeve 5 has a through-groove 5.1 for receiving the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4. One end of the rigid connecting sleeve 5 is attached to the end surface of the first extending edge 4.3 facing the rigid connecting sleeve 5, and the other end of the rigid connecting sleeve 5 is attached to the end surface of the second extending edge 4.4 facing the rigid connecting sleeve 5. As a result, the rigid connecting sleeve 5 is fitted onto the outside of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 by the through-groove 5.1, and both ends of the rigid connecting sleeve 5 do not extend beyond the ends of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 but are blocked by the first extending edge 4.3 and the second extending edge 4.4, respectively. This not only serves to limit the rigid connecting sleeve 5 in the axial direction, but also ensures that the rigid connecting sleeve 5 does not directly contact the stroke head 3. Vibrations generated by the main body 1 are absorbed and filtered by the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 without being directly transmitted to the stroke head 3, thereby providing vibration and noise control for the end of the stroke head 3 on the main body 1.
[0023] 2 and 3, the through groove 5.1 is provided with a limiting groove 5.2 extending longitudinally of the through groove 5.1, and the outer wall of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 is provided with a limiting rib 4.5 which engages with the limiting groove 5.2. The engagement between the limiting groove 5.2 and the limiting rib 4.5 prevents the rigid connecting sleeve 5 from rotating relative to the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4, while the rigid connecting sleeve 5 provides support and protection for the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and prevents deformation of the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4, thereby extending its service life. Preferably, the number of limiting grooves 5.2 may be two, four, or more, and the shape is not limited as long as the limiting rib 4.5 and the limiting groove 5.2 can engage with each other.
[0024] 2 and 4, a barrier edge 5.3 is protruded from the end of the rigid connecting sleeve 5 close to the first extending edge 4.3, and the end of the body 1 to which the rigid connecting sleeve 5 is fitted is attached to the end face of the barrier edge 5.3 facing the body 1, thereby ensuring that the body 1 does not come into direct contact with the stroke head 3. Vibrations generated by the body 1 are absorbed and filtered by the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 without being directly transmitted to the stroke head 3, thereby playing a role in vibration damping and noise reduction for the end of the stroke head 3 on the body 1.
[0025] 2 and 4, the rigid connecting sleeve 5 is provided with a positioning block 5.4 that is connected to the barrier edge 5.3 and is flush with the barrier edge 5.3, and the main body 1 is provided with a positioning groove 1.1 that engages with the positioning block 5.4, which facilitates quick insertion of the main body 1 and the rigid connecting sleeve 5 and plays a role in positioning and guiding.
[0026] Referring to FIG. 2, the rigid connection sleeve 5 has a first screw hole 5.5, and the main body 1 has a second screw hole 1.2 corresponding to the first screw hole 5.5. The first screw hole 5.5 and the second screw hole 1.2 are connected by a screw passing through them, thereby fixedly connecting the main body 1 to the rigid connection sleeve 5.
[0027] Here, the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 is made of rubber or silica gel and can filter and absorb vibrations, thereby reducing noise, and the hard connecting sleeve 5 is made of plastic and can support the flexible vibration-damping sleeve 4 and prevent its deformation.
[0028] Here, the main body 1 includes a tube, a motor core attached to the tube, a reducer, and a control plate, and the main body 1 has a general structure, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.
