[0019] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below. The structure, proportion, size, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the content disclosed in the specification, so that people familiar with this technology can understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions that can be implemented in the utility model, so they have no technical substantive significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effect that can be produced by the utility model and the purpose that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and so on quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of narration, and are not used to limit the scope that can be implemented. The change or adjustment of its relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope that can be implemented in the utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0020] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 A single-acting quick-retraction cylinder includes a cylinder body 1, a piston 2 and a piston rod 3 are arranged in the cylinder body 1, an air inlet 4 connected to the rod chamber is opened at the front end of the cylinder body 1, and an exhaust port connected to the rodless chamber is opened at the rear end. The front end of the piston rod 3 extends out of the cylinder body 1 and is connected to the rod head. In order to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the seal after damage, the existing welding structure is changed to a disassembly structure, and the cylinder body 1 and the cylinder bottom 11 are connected by screw disassembly, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance. The surface of the piston 2 adopts a grid ring hole seal and a wear-resistant lubricating coating, and the inner hole of the guide sleeve 5 adopts a grid ring hole seal and a wear-resistant lubricating coating, which can effectively resist wear.

[0021] A guide sleeve 5 is provided at the front end of the cylinder body 1, and a lubricating oil passage 6 is opened on the guide sleeve 5. The grease in the lubricating oil passage 6 flows to the surface of the piston rod 3. The grease can be used to lubricate the seal to effectively resist wear.

[0022] The end of the piston rod 3 is sleeved with a buffer plate 7, and the buffer plate 7 and the piston 2 are spaced apart. The end of the piston rod 3 is connected with a nut 8, and the nut 8 contacts the buffer plate 7 to position the buffer plate 7. The buffer plate 7 is fixed by the nut 8 to prevent the buffer plate 7 from falling off the piston rod 3. The cylinder bottom 11 at the rear end of the cylinder body 1 is provided with a groove body that cooperates with the nut 8. When the piston is retracted, the nut 8 enters the groove body. The depth of the groove body should be greater than the thickness of the nut 8 to prevent the nut 8 from colliding with the cylinder bottom 11 first.

[0023] A spring 9 is embedded in the buffer plate 7, and the other end of the spring 9 is in contact with the piston. An annular mounting cavity is provided inside the buffer plate 7, and a plurality of springs 9 are arranged in the annular mounting cavity. When the piston 2 is retracted, the buffer plate 7 first contacts the cylinder bottom 11 to achieve a buffering effect. At the same time, due to the effect of the spring 9, the impact force of the piston 2 is further offset by the elastic force of the spring 9, thereby preventing the piston 2 from hitting the cylinder bottom 11 at high speed.

[0024] A plurality of guide rings 10 are provided between the buffer plate 7 and the piston rod 3 , and the buffer plate 7 is supported by the guide rings 10 , thereby ensuring the stability of the buffer plate 7 and helping to improve the buffering effect.

[0025] The bottom 11 of the cylinder is provided with an exhaust port connected to the rodless chamber. The air pressure in the rodless chamber is quickly discharged into the atmosphere through the exhaust port, ensuring that there is no back pressure on the piston 2 before it enters the buffer distance, thus ensuring the retraction effect. The cylinder is fully extended in the initial state, and the air inlet 4 is connected to the high-pressure air source of the accumulator. The piston rod 3 retracts at high speed with load. A buffer is set at the end of the stroke, and a spring 9 is used to buffer the small chamber pressure and load kinetic energy. The gas in the rod chamber is directly discharged into the atmosphere. The aperture of the exhaust port is equivalent to the air intake volume of the air inlet 4, and there is no resistance to the movement of the piston rod 3 due to the back pressure of the stroke. The piston rod 3 is pulled out by external force during the extension of the piston rod 3.

[0026] Different from the prior art, the utility model single-acting fast-retracting cylinder can buffer the piston through a spring and a buffer plate to prevent the piston from hitting the cylinder bottom at high speed. It has a simple structure, good buffering effect, and reduces the machining accuracy requirements of the cylinder.

[0027] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
