MECHATRONIC SPRING DRIVE Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B25J9/10 F03G7/08 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to machine building, namely to transmissions with accumulation and recycling energy, and is intended for oscillating back-and-forth movement in horizontal plane. Mechatronic spring drive comprises base with guide, movable carriage, pneumatic cylinder with spring, distributor, position sensor and control unit. Carriage is movably mounted on pair of symmetric guides mounted to base. Rod of pneumatic cylinder is pivotally connected with movable carriage. Lower part of the pneumatic cylinder body is hingedly mounted between the holders fixedly connected to the base. Between the upper part of the pneumatic cylinder body and the pneumatic cylinder rod hinged connection symmetrically relative to the guides the springs are mounted, by size and maximum force corresponding to size and force of pneumatic cylinder with due allowance for preliminary deformation of said springs with possibility of reducing energy consumption for movement of carriage. Springs to the upper part of the pneumatic cylinder body are mounted hingedly on one axis of rotation. Sensors of the drive position connected to the control unit are mounted to the base symmetrically relative to the central position of the carriage.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at increasing specific capacity of a drive.
