The invention relates to a
hydraulic cylinder mechanical locking device which comprises a secondary
piston, a secondary rod and a nut holding frame. The secondary rod is mounted in a mounting through hole of the secondary
piston, a positioning ring of the secondary rod and a positioning step of the secondary
piston are mutually matched and positioned, one end of the nut holding frame with a counter bore can axially translate along the secondary rod and is inserted into or drawn out of a cavity between a baffle ring of the secondary piston and the outside of the secondary rod, and a
steel ball in the nut holding frame can be clamped into or drawn out of an annular groove of the secondary rod in the translation process of the nut holding frame. The invention further discloses a mechanically-locked
hydraulic cylinder base don the
hydraulic cylinder mechanical locking device and a locking method of the hydraulic cylinder. According to the locking device, the
steel ball cannot contact with the hydraulic cylinder, the hydraulic cylinder cannot be damaged, unlocking pressure ranges from 0.5MPa to 1MPa and is low and uniform,
synchronism in the unlocking process is good, force bearing points are positioned on the
steel ball and the nut holding frame, locking force is large,
impact loads can be born, the locking device is high in positioning accuracy, service life is prolonged, and the locking effect of the hydraulic cylinder is improved.
