The invention discloses an enclosed cylinder structure
catapult, mainly consisting of an ejection cylinder, a
piston, a
cylinder head, a telescopic sealing device, a high-strength steel cable and a reciprocating vehicle. Wherein, the ejection cylinder is in enclosed
pipe-shaped structure consisting of a plurality of cylinder sections which are connected with flanges; a
cylinder head is arranged at the starting end of the ejection cylinder where an air
inlet valve and a steel cable hole is arranged; the telescopic sealing device consists of sleeves telescopically sleeved together from small internal
diameter to large internal
diameter; the head end of the most-inner sleeve is arranged on the
piston and the
tail of the most-outer sleeve extends out of the cylinder through the steel cable hole on the
cylinder head. One end of the
high strength steel cable passes through the telescopic sealing device and is connected with the
piston in the cylinder by the steel cable hole in the cylinder head; the other end of the
high strength steel cable is connected with the reciprocating vehicle; the invention adopts the enclosed cylinder, the
high strength steel cable and the telescopic sealing device, etc., therefore, the invention has the advantages of high strength, light structural weight, simple sealing, high reliability and low production cost.
