Problems solved by technology

The sealing method must be more robust High pressure cylinders also introduce complexity as maintaining the seal and joint integrity at the same time is more challenging
Due to this high stress area created at the cylinder inlet, and thus deformation causing expansion and contraction, it is difficult to find a permanent attachment for the cylinder housing that is strong over time and will not loosen while maintaining a good inlet seal
Threaded applications tend to loosen and become self-loosening, and any internal locking mechanisms (such as press pins or snap rings) used inside the cylinder design in the pressurized area add to stress issues or make assembly too complicated and cost prohibitive

Abstract

An adaptor and an assembly including a cylinder and the adaptor are provided. The adaptor is used to mount the cylinder to a fluid channel. The adaptor is formed of a unitary wall including a first portion adapted to mount to the fluid channel, a second portion adapted to be engaged with a tool extending from the first portion, and a third portion extending from the second portion and seated within an inlet passageway of the cylinder. The third portion includes locking features for locking the adaptor to the cylinder, and a sealing feature for sealing the adaptor to the cylinder. The sealing feature is distal to the second portion such that when a torque is applied to the adaptor, the sealing feature does not cause the adaptor to shear. The cylinder and fluid channel may be capable of being swiveled relative to each other around the adaptor, such swiveling may be up to 360 degrees and may be 360 degrees.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an adapter capable of mounting a cylinder for a fluid dynamic linear actuator to a flow channel. Background technique [0002] Adapters are used to mount cylinders for linear actuators relative to the runners, which allow the cylinder and runners to rotate up to 360 degrees relative to each other. Cylinder inlets are often difficult to design because the requirement to minimize size and weight results in material reduction. The highest stresses are usually concentrated in the cylinder design at the inlet. Especially single-acting cylinders with an inlet on the rod side of the cylinder or pull cylinders which are often preferred for drilling applications. High-pressure cylinders, where the sealing method must be more robust, also introduce complications, as maintaining the seal and joint integrity at the same time is more challenging. Due to this high stress area created at the cylinder inlet, and thus deformation ca...
