The present invention belongs to the technical field of door closers, and particularly relates to a novel
cam action hydraulic door closer wherein gear and rack structure is excluded, that greatly simplifies the structure and volume of the door closer. The bidirectional
piston (200) is consistently flexibly abutted against the outer
peripheral surface of the transmission
camshaft (300) by the drive spring (400). The transmission
camshaft (300), when working, drives the bidirectional
piston (200) to tightly press the drive spring (400), thereby realizing the force storing of the drive spring (400). Meanwhile, the overload valve (500) realizes hydraulic oil flowing between the main shaft chamber (111) and the spring chamber (112). Therefore, during the rotation of the door closer housing (100), the transmission
camshaft (300) receives the damping effect generated from the bidirectional
piston (200) to the transmission camshaft (300) and the damping effect of the hydraulic oil, that lowers the transient door closing speed, thereby realizing that the
cam action hydraulic door closer achieves sufficient buffering when the door closes. It can be seen that the
cam action hydraulic door closer of the present invention is simple in structure, convenient in
assembly, and has the advantages of high production efficiency, low
failure rate and stable performance.
