  • Patent number: 8448540
    Abstract: An assembling mechanism of a self-locking linear actuator includes a gearbox, a one-piece rear retainer seat and a casing. The gearbox is composed of two half pieces, which are mated with each other for accommodating and locating a transmission mechanism of the actuator. The rear retainer seat is fixedly held in the gearbox for supporting a bearing of a threaded rod of the transmission mechanism and bearing the stress from the threaded rod. The contact faces of the rear retainer seat and the gearbox are regular polygonal to facilitate adjustment of fixing angle of the rear retainer seat. The casing is composed of two half casings, which are mated with each other to accommodate the transmission mechanism, the gearbox and the rear retainer seat. The mating faces of the half casings are parallel to the axis of the output shaft of a motor to facilitate connection operation of the casing.

  • Publication number: 20110061480
    Abstract: A quick-release mechanism of an actuator, including: a worm wheel having a circular body section, a shaft hole extending through the body section along a curvature center line thereof; a rod-like push body coaxially fitted through the shaft hole; and a clutch unit having a first clutch section and a second clutch section. The first clutch section is integrally formed on an end face of the body section. The second clutch section is slidably and relatively unrotatably fitted on the push body. The second clutch section is movable along an axis of the push body between a disengaging position and an engaging position. When positioned in the engaging position, the first and second clutch sections are engaged to drivingly couple the push body with the worm wheel. When positioned in the disengaging position, the first and second clutch sections are disengaged to uncouple the push body from the worm wheel.
