[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0046] This embodiment provides a specific implementation of a pneumatic valve damping and shock absorption system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a cylinder 1, a valve 2, a first main air circuit 3, a second main air circuit 4 and a buffer circuit. The cylinder 1 has a piston 6 and a pneumatic rod 7 connected to the piston 6, and one end of the pneumatic rod 7 extends toward the valve 2. The cylinder 1 adopts a speed regulating cylinder 1 with buffer valves 8 at both ends, and the running speed of the piston 6 can be adjusted within a suitable range through the buffer valves 8 at both ends. Vents for connecting to an air source 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the cylinder 1. When the pneumatic rod 7 is driven forward, one of the two vents is an air inlet and the other is an air outlet, wherein the air inlet is connected to the first main air circuit 3, and the air outlet is connected to the second main air circuit 4. Both the first main gas circuit 3 and the second main gas circuit 4 are provided with one-way speed regulating valves, wherein the first main gas circuit 3 is provided with a second one-way speed regulating valve 10, and the second main gas circuit 4 is provided with a third one-way speed regulating valve 11. The above two one-way speed regulating valves are used to adjust the exhaust speed on the first main gas circuit 3 and the second main gas circuit 4 respectively.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the inlet ends of the first main gas path 3 and the second main gas path 4 away from the cylinder are respectively adapted to be connected to the gas source 9 and the buffer circuit through a two-position five-way solenoid valve 12. When the first main gas path 3 is connected to the gas source 9, the second main gas path 4 is connected to the buffer circuit; when the second main gas path 4 is connected to the gas source 9, the first main gas path 3 is connected to the outside. In addition, as an alternative embodiment, when the second main gas path 4 is connected to the gas source 9, the first main gas path 3 can also be connected to the buffer circuit.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the buffer circuit includes: a first regulating branch and a second regulating branch arranged in parallel, a first one-way speed regulating valve 15 is arranged on the first regulating branch, and a solenoid valve 16 is arranged on the second regulating branch. The first one-way speed regulating valve 15 is used to adjust the exhaust speed on the first regulating branch, and the speed adjusted by the first one-way speed regulating valve 15 is further reduced on the basis of the speed adjusted by the second one-way speed regulating valve 10 and the third one-way speed regulating valve 11. The speed adjustment size of the first one-way speed regulating valve 15, the second one-way speed regulating valve 10 and the third one-way speed regulating valve 11 is adjustable. The solenoid valve 16 is used to cut off or conduct the second regulating branch. In addition, silencers 17 are respectively arranged at the outlets of the first regulating branch and the second regulating branch.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, a magnetic switch 18 is provided on the cylinder 1 near the air outlet, and the magnetic switch 18 is connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 16. That is, when the piston 6 in the cylinder 1 moves downward to near the magnetic switch 18, the controller receives a signal, and at this time the controller controls the solenoid valve 16 to close, so that the exhaust of the cylinder 1 is switched from the second regulating branch to the first regulating branch, thereby increasing the exhaust pressure of the cylinder 1 and buffering the piston 6 in the cylinder 1.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the valve 2 includes: a housing 5, a drive frame 13 and a valve plate 14, wherein the housing 5 is arranged opposite to the cylinder 1, the drive frame 13 is slidably arranged inside the housing 5, the drive frame 13 is connected to the pneumatic rod 7 of the cylinder 1, and a first buffer structure 19 is provided between the drive frame 13 and the housing 5. The first buffer structure 19 includes: a drive frame positioning device and a limit buffer block 21, the drive frame positioning device is elastically arranged on the drive frame 13, and the limit buffer block 21 is arranged on the housing 5. In addition, as Figure 2 As shown, a buffer body 22 is provided on the limit buffer block 21 in the direction toward the driving frame positioning device.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the valve plate 14 is slidably disposed in the housing 5, the valve plate 14 and the driving frame 13 are rotatably connected via a connecting rod, and a second buffer structure 20 is provided between the valve plate 14 and the housing 5. The second buffer structure 20 includes: a valve plate seat 24 disposed on the valve plate 14, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the valve plate positioning seat 24 includes: a positioning wheel 23 and positioning blocks 25 arranged on both sides of the positioning wheel 23. The positioning wheel 23 is rotatably arranged on the valve plate positioning seat 24, and the installation space of the positioning wheel 23 is formed between the two positioning blocks 25.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the positioning block 25 has a buffer pad facing the housing, and the buffer pad has a first buffer pad 26, a second buffer pad 27 and a third buffer pad 28 arranged in sequence. The first buffer pad 26 is located at the bottom layer, and the first buffer pad 26 is a double-layered rubber material; the second buffer pad 27 is located at the upper layer of the first buffer pad 26, and the second buffer pad 27 is a double-layered polyurethane material; the third buffer pad 28 is located at the upper layer of the second buffer pad 27, and the third buffer pad 28 is a single-layered polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0053] How to use

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 1 drives the valve plate 14 toward Figure 1When moving in the downward direction shown in , first, the two-position five-way solenoid valve 12 is actuated to connect the first main gas path 3 with the gas source 9 and to connect the second main gas path 4 with the buffer circuit.

[0055] The air source 9 takes in air from above the piston 6 in the cylinder 1 through the first main air path 3, and the piston 6 drives the pneumatic rod 7 to move downward, and the pneumatic rod 7 drives the driving frame 13 and the valve plate 14 of the valve 2 to move downward; at the same time, the gas in the cavity below the piston 6 in the cylinder 1 is discharged toward the second main air path 4. On the second main air path 4, the exhaust gas in the cylinder 1 first passes through the third one-way speed regulating valve 11 for speed regulation, and then passes through the two-position five-way solenoid valve 12 and the solenoid valve 16 in sequence, and is discharged to the outside from the second regulating branch through the muffler 17.

[0056] When the piston 6 of the cylinder 1 moves to the magnetic switch 18, the controller receives the signal of the magnetic switch 18, and sends a control signal to the solenoid valve 16 to close the solenoid valve 16. At this time, the exhaust gas in the cylinder 1 cannot be discharged from the second regulating branch, but can only be discharged from the first regulating branch, and the first one-way speed regulating valve 15 is provided on the first regulating branch. The exhaust gas is further regulated by the first one-way speed regulating valve 15, so that the exhaust speed of the cylinder 1 can be further reduced.

[0057] When the drive frame 13 moves into position, the first buffer structure 19 on the shell 5 takes effect. Specifically, when the drive frame positioning device contacts the limit buffer block 21, part of the aerodynamic force is offset by the drive frame positioning device, so that the drive frame 13 is positioned in place without impact.

[0058] In this embodiment, the valve plate 14 needs to move in a vertical direction before the driving frame 13 moves downward and is about to be in place, that is, the valve plate 14 moves in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the driving frame 13. In this process, the second buffer structure 20 on the valve plate 14 acts, specifically, firstly, the positioning block 25 on the valve plate 14 contacts with the housing 5, and the valve plate 14 is smoothly in place through the buffer pad on the positioning block 25, and then the positioning wheel 23 contacts with the housing, and then the valve plate 14 is driven by the connecting rod to move in a vertical direction under the action of the driving frame 13.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. However, the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
