Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of linear driving devices, in particular to a sectional reinforcement type linear motion device.
Background
A linear motor is a driving device that directly converts electric energy into mechanical energy for linear motion without any intermediate conversion mechanism. The linear motor can be regarded as a structural modification of the rotary motor, and can be regarded as a rotary motor which is split along the radial direction and then is flattened and evolved. With the rapid development of automatic control technology and microcomputers, higher requirements are put forward on the positioning accuracy of various automatic control systems, and under the condition, a linear motion driving device consisting of a traditional rotating motor and a set of conversion mechanism is far from meeting the requirements of modern control systems. For this reason, linear motors are being researched, developed and applied in many countries of the world, resulting in wider and wider application fields of linear motors.
However, the linear motor has extremely low dynamic rigidity, cannot play a role in buffering and damping, and easily causes resonance of other parts of the machine tool during high-speed motion; in addition, the linear motor cannot be locked automatically, and in order to ensure reliable operation, a moving shaft driven by the linear motor, particularly a vertical moving shaft, needs to be additionally provided with a locking mechanism, so that the complexity of the machine tool is increased; in addition, the thrust of the linear motor is not large enough, and the requirement of a heavy-load working condition is difficult to meet.
The cylinder is a pneumatic actuator for converting the pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy in pneumatic transmission. The cylinder comprises a cylinder barrel, an end cover, a piston rod, a sealing element and the like. The cylinder can reliably work under severe conditions, is simple to operate and can basically realize maintenance-free operation. The cylinder is good at reciprocating linear motion, and is particularly suitable for linear conveying of workpieces which are the most transmission requirements in industrial automation.
However, the cylinder is usually used with an air compressor, which increases the floor area of the equipment and increases the production cost. The air pressure may change during the air pressure transmission process, resulting in poor stability. Therefore, how to better realize the linear motion has become an important research direction for the development of mechanical equipment, and a novel linear motion device capable of avoiding the defects of a linear motor and an air cylinder is also needed in the market at present.

The front piston 6, the partition plate 4 and the cylinder barrel 1 enclose a first cavity 13, the partition plate 4, the rear piston 8 and the cylinder barrel 1 enclose a second cavity 14, and the rear piston 8, the rear cylinder cover 3 and the cylinder barrel 1 enclose a third cavity 15; a pipeline 16 is arranged on the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1, and the pipeline 16 is communicated with the second cavity 14 and the third cavity 15 of the cylinder barrel 1.
In the sectional reinforcement type linear motion device according to the embodiment of the invention, the cylinder barrel 1 is internally provided with the front piston 6, the partition plate 4 and the rear piston 8 in sequence from front to back, wherein the partition plate 4 is fixedly arranged in the cylinder barrel 1 and cannot move, and both the front piston 6 and the rear piston 8 can slide in the cylinder barrel 1. The front piston rod 7 is arranged at the first end of the front piston 6, the second end of the front piston rod 7 is fixedly connected with the front piston 6, the first end of the front piston rod passes through the through hole of the front cylinder cover 2 and is located outside the cylinder barrel 1, the front piston rod 7 slides in the through hole of the front cylinder cover 2 along with the front and back sliding of the front piston 6, and the first end of the front piston rod 7 moves to form linear motion output. A fixed partition plate 4 is arranged between the front piston 6 and the rear piston 8, a piston hole 5 is arranged on the partition plate 4, and a rear piston rod 9 is fixedly arranged at the first end of the rear piston 8 and is matched with the piston hole 5 in size. The force transmission of the compressed air can push the front piston 6 to move forwards when the rear piston 8 moves forwards, the rear piston rod 9 does not enter the piston hole 5 in the front section stroke of the forward movement of the rear piston 8, the second cavity 14 and the first cavity 13 are in a communicated state, and the sectional areas of the rear piston 8 and the front piston 6 are equal, so that the front piston 6 can rapidly move forwards at the same speed as the rear piston 8 under the action of air pressure, and the front piston is a rapid forward movement stage of the linear motion device, namely a first stroke stage. When the rear piston rod 9 enters the piston hole 5, the communication between the second cavity 14 and the first cavity 13 is cut off, the rear piston rod 9 pushes the front piston 6 to slowly move forwards in a reinforcement manner by compressed air, the pressure increasing ratio is equal to the ratio of the sectional areas of the front piston 6 and the rear piston rod 9 according to the Pascal principle, and the linear motion device enters a reinforcement advancing stage, namely a second stroke stage.
The stator 10 of the linear motor is fixedly arranged on the inner side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 and located at the second end of the rear piston 8, the rotor 11 is arranged between the stators 10, the first end of the stator is fixedly connected with the rear piston 8 through a connecting shaft, and when the stators 10 are electrified, the rotor 11 moves forwards under the action of an electromagnetic field to drive the rear piston rod 9 and the rear piston 8 to move forwards synchronously.
When the rear piston 8 moves forward, the air in the second chamber 14 is compressed and guided into the first chamber 13 from the piston hole 5, and the front piston 6 is pushed to move forward by the air pressure, and the air pressure at the first end of the rear piston 8 is equal to the air pressure at the second end of the front piston 6. Because the first end cavity of the front piston 6 is provided with the vent 17, the gas in the cavity can gradually overflow the cylinder barrel 1, the air pressure is always consistent with the outside, and the spring device 18 is compressed. When the rear piston rod 9 enters the piston hole 5 at the second stroke stage of the linear motion device, the rear piston rod 9 blocks the piston hole 5, the pipeline 16 communicates the second cavity 14 with the third cavity 15, and the compressed air in the second cavity 14 gradually enters the third cavity 15 along the pipeline 16, so that the air pressure of the first end and the air pressure of the second end of the rear piston 8 are consistent, and the rear piston 8 moves forwards and cannot be blocked due to air pressure difference. The rear piston rod 9 then forces the front piston 6 slowly forward through the compressed air in the first chamber 13.
In a reset stroke stage after the linear motion device completes forward linear motion, namely a third stroke stage, the stator 10 is electrified reversely, so that the rotor 11 moves backwards reversely, and the rear piston rod 9 and the rear piston 8 are driven to move backwards synchronously. The air pressure in the first chamber 13 will gradually decrease and the front piston 6 will be moved back under the action of the compressed spring means 18. When the rear piston rod 9 is moved further backward and out of the piston bore 5, the first chamber 13 communicates with the second chamber 14, and the front piston 6 and the rear piston 8 will continue to move backward to the initial position, ready for the next round of forward linear motion.
The outer diameters of the front piston 6 and the rear piston 8 are equal, and the front piston 6, the rear piston 8 and the inner side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 are in clearance fit. The front piston 6 and the rear piston 8 can slide in the cylinder barrel 1 in a fitting mode, and have high stability and transmit air pressure through compressed air. In the stage of rapid forward movement of the linear motion device, because the outer diameter and the sectional area of the rear piston 8 are equal to those of the front piston 6, the front piston 6 can rapidly move forward at the same speed after the rear piston 8 is under the action of air pressure, and the characteristic of rapid working speed of the linear motion device in the first stroke stage is embodied.
Wherein, clearance fit is adopted between the rear piston rod 9 and the piston hole 5. The rear piston rod 9 is insertable into the piston bore 5 and slidable along the inside wall of the piston bore 5 to block the piston bore 5 and block the communication between the first chamber 13 and the second chamber 14 to ensure that the linear motion device transfers air pressure to the rear face of the front piston 6 through the first end of the rear piston rod 9 during energisation in the second stroke stage.
And sealing rings 19 are arranged around the outer side walls of the front piston 6, the rear piston 8 and the piston hole 5. The sealing performance of the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 14 is improved through the sealing ring 19, and the effect of air pressure force transmission is ensured.
Wherein, before the rear piston rod 9 is not inserted into the piston hole 5, the maximum distance between the first end of the rear piston rod 9 and the rear surface of the partition plate 4 is equal to the thickness of the rear piston 8, and the distance between the two communication ports of the pipeline 16 is equal to the maximum distance between the front surface of the rear piston 8 and the rear surface of the partition plate 4. When the linear motion device is in the first stroke stage, the first end of the rear piston rod 9 moves forward to be gradually close to the rear surface of the partition plate 4, and since the thickness of the rear piston 8 is equal to the maximum distance between the first end of the rear piston rod 9 and the rear surface of the partition plate 4, when the rear piston rod 9 does not enter the piston hole 5 of the partition plate 4, the side wall of the rear piston 8 blocks the communication port of the pipeline 16 positioned at the rear, so that the second cavity 14 and the first cavity 13 are communicated to form a sealed integral cavity, and the air pressure is transmitted from the front surface of the rear piston 8 to the rear surface of the front piston 6. When the linear motion device enters the second stroke stage, the rear piston rod 9 enters the piston hole 5, and at this time, the side wall of the rear piston 8 is integrally positioned in front of the communication port at the rear of the pipeline 16, so that the pipeline 16 communicates the second chamber 14 with the third chamber 15, compressed air in the second chamber 14 flows back to the third chamber 15 when the rear piston 8 moves forward continuously, the air pressure of the front surface and the air pressure of the rear surface of the rear piston 8 are kept consistent at this stage, and the air pressure difference is prevented from forming to prevent the rear piston 8 from moving forward continuously. At this time, the air pressure on the rear surface of the front piston 6 is transmitted through the first end of the rear piston rod 9 located in the piston hole 5, and the pressurization effect is generated according to the pascal principle.
The second end of the mover 11 is further fixedly connected with a motor shaft 12, the motor shaft 12 is slidably disposed in a through hole of the rear cylinder cover 3, a bearing 20 is further disposed in the through hole of the rear cylinder cover 3, the motor shaft 12 is inserted in the bearing 20, and the outer end of the motor shaft 12 is disposed outside the cylinder barrel 1. The motor shaft 12 mainly plays a guiding role, so that the mover 11, the rear piston 8 and the rear piston rod 9 move axially along the cylinder barrel 1, and the motor shaft 12 is supported and further guided by the bearing 20, so that the movement linearity and stability of the mover 11 are improved.
The stator 10 is electrically connected with a power supply, the stator 10 generates a magnetic field after being electrified, the rotor 11 is driven to do linear motion along the axial direction of the cylinder barrel 1, the stator 10 is electrified reversely, the direction of the magnetic field can be changed, the rotor 11 is driven to do reverse motion, and the stroke stage of the linear motion device is changed.
In summary, the segmented force-increasing linear motion device according to the above embodiment of the present invention forms a two-segment linear forward process of the linear motion device by a matching manner of structures such as the rear piston 8, the rear piston rod 9, and the partition plate 4 in the cylinder barrel 1, where the first segment is a fast forward stage with a higher speed, the second segment is a force-increasing forward stage during force application driving, and the device further includes a reset stroke stage of the third segment, and a segmented multi-stroke manner is adopted, so that the device has the advantages of high working speed and large driving force.
