Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of buffer sleeve design technology, and in particular to a design method, buffer structure, hydraulic cylinder and gate opener / closer for a labyrinth buffer sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] The main actuator of the fast hydraulic gate opener is a hydraulic cylinder. The piston is pushed by hydraulic oil to extend and retract the piston rod, thereby opening and closing the hydraulic gate opener.
[0003] Existing hydraulic lock hoists primarily focus on developing low-load, low-speed hydraulic cylinder buffering technology, and are largely limited to local optimization of traditional throttling groove or fixed damping orifice buffering structures. This makes it difficult to achieve smooth control of the opening and closing of fast hydraulic lock hoists. Furthermore, in fast hydraulic lock hoists, hydraulic cylinders need to achieve coordinated control of high speed and large load under long stroke conditions. This results in a nonlinear surge in dynamic impact force during the end buffering stage. Under such extreme conditions, conventional buffering structures, due to insufficient energy dissipation capacity or excessive throttling effect, are no longer able to effectively suppress the kinetic energy impact generated by the hydraulic cylinder during the buffering stage.
[0004] Although novel labyrinth-type buffer sleeves (such as a bidirectional buffer cylinder with a metal 3D-printed labyrinth-type buffer sleeve, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN116838664A) can overcome the shortcomings of traditional buffer structures, their design is very complex, and there are problems such as long optimization design cycle and difficulty in verifying design results.

[0029] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, the design method of the labyrinth-type buffer sleeve adopted in this invention includes the following steps: S1. Based on the parameters of the hydraulic cylinder and the law of conservation of energy, determine the length, inner diameter, and outer diameter of the buffer sleeve 3; S2. Based on the force balance equation and flow equation of the hydraulic cylinder piston, derive the throttling area curve of the outer surface of the buffer sleeve 3, and thus set the opening position of the damping hole 8 on the buffer sleeve 3. S3. Determine the number and diameter of damping orifices 8 based on the desired buffer pressure curve, speed curve and acceleration curve of the hydraulic cylinder; S4. Based on the energy dissipation mechanism and the mathematical model of buffer sleeve 3, determine the flow resistance series and flow channel structure on buffer sleeve 3. S5.

S6. If all the expected requirements are met, the actual buffer speed curve and the actual buffer pressure curve of the buffer sleeve 3 are obtained by test. If both the actual buffer speed curve and the actual buffer pressure curve meet the requirements, the design of the labyrinth buffer sleeve is completed.
[0030] The buffer sleeve 3 in this design is a labyrinth-style buffer sleeve, such as... Figure 2-4 As shown, its working principle is as follows: When piston 1 moves to the right to the end of its stroke, the buffer sleeve 3 fixed to piston rod 2 gradually approaches the lower end cover 4. The oil in buffer chamber 5 is squeezed out from the annular gap 6 between buffer sleeve 3 and lower end cover 4, that is, the flow area of oil from buffer chamber 5 to oil discharge chamber 7 decreases, resulting in an increase in pressure in buffer chamber 5. When piston 1 continues to move to the right, buffer sleeve 3 is inserted into lower end cover 4, forcing oil to flow in from the damping hole 8 on the outer circumference of buffer sleeve 3 and out from the outlet 9 of buffer sleeve 3. The oil discharge resistance increases, thereby effectively slowing down the running speed of the hydraulic cylinder and achieving buffering.
[0031] In S1, based on the hydraulic cylinder's free stroke, cylinder inner diameter, and piston rod 2 diameter, the length, inner diameter, and outer diameter of the buffer sleeve 3 are initially determined.

E 2. All of it is absorbed by the oil and converted into hydraulic energy. E 1. Determine whether the length of the buffer sleeve 3 meets the requirements, where, P 2 indicates the pressure in the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. bFor safety, a factor of 1.5 can be used.

R Indicates load capacity.
[0032] In S2, the force balance equation is: The flow equation is The throttling area curve of the outer surface of the buffer sleeve 3 is derived as follows: , is a parabolic curve, such as Figure 5 As shown, the flow area of the damping hole 8 of the buffer sleeve 3 is initially large, and then gradually decreases as the buffering process progresses. ρ Indicates the density of hydraulic oil. This represents the flow coefficient, which is calculated from a table by looking up the area ratio of the cross-sections before and after the contraction channel.

This indicates the annular gap 6 between the buffer sleeve 3 and the lower end cover 4. This indicates the diameter of buffer sleeve 3. Indicates the acceleration of the hydraulic cylinder. This indicates the displacement of the hydraulic cylinder after it enters the buffer zone.
[0033] In S3, the desired buffer pressure curve is expressed as follows: The desired velocity curve is expressed as follows: The desired acceleration curve is expressed as follows: ,in, d This indicates the diameter of piston rod 2. , , t The time is represented by the throttling area curve in S2 to obtain the total throttling area. The number and diameter of the damping orifices 8 are then set based on the total throttling area.

This represents the flow coefficient of damping orifice 8, which can be taken as 0.6~0.8 in calculations. N Indicates the number of damping orifices 8. This indicates the pressure difference between the buffer chamber 5 and the oil discharge chamber 7. The pressure in the oil discharge chamber 7 can be assumed to be atmospheric pressure. Q 2 indicates the flow rate in the second stage (entering the buffer stage). μ Indicates the viscosity of the hydraulic oil. M This indicates the number of damping orifices 8 that are completely uncovered. A This represents the area of the damping orifice 8 that is not yet covered. The flow resistance level is set according to the length of the buffer sleeve 3 in the mathematical model and considering the smoothness of the throttling curve. The cross-sectional shape and aperture of the flow channel structure are set according to the flow resistance level. Multiple buffer channels can be set along the circumference of the buffer sleeve 3 in each level. The number of buffer channels is limited by the size of the circumference diameter. In this embodiment, only the internal flow channel is circular. Other common cross-sectional shapes such as square, ellipse, and trapezoid can also be applied to the design of buffer channels.

Open the rod chamber ball valve to allow the rod chamber oil to flow back to the oil tank, even if YV4 is energized; S63. Continue lifting to extend piston rod 2 until the load end leaves the ground; S64. When the cylinder stroke is detected to be full stroke, continue lifting until the load end reaches the preset distance from the ground and then stop. The detection can be done using an opening meter. After the crane stops lifting, maintain the vertical stability of the cylinder. At this time, the cylinder should be in the state where the piston rod 2 is fully extended. S65. Start oil intake in the rod chamber. Stop oil intake when the piston rod 2 drives the counterweight to the preset height. That is, start the hydraulic system pump during the test, adjust the pressure of the relief valve, so that the electromagnet YV2 is energized. When the piston rod drives the weight to the design stroke, the oil pump stops working and all electromagnets are de-energized. At this time, the oil cylinder is at the design stroke position, and the oil cylinder is confirmed to be in a vertical and stable state. S66. Start data recording and perform buffer sleeve performance test. Electromagnet YV4 is energized, piston rod 2 falls freely, record the falling speed of piston rod 2 after entering the buffer and the real-time pressure data of the rod chamber, and plot the buffer speed curve and buffer pressure curve.
