The gas enters the third air chamber 503 through the third air hole 403 to drive the pressurizing cylinder piston 12 to move, and when the front cylinder shaft 1 and the pressurizing cylinder shaft 9 are connected, the gas drives the front cylinder shaft 1 and the pressurizing cylinder shaft 9 to move; the gas enters the fourth air chamber 504 through the fourth air hole 404 to drive the pressurizing cylinder piston 12 to move, and when the front cylinder shaft 1 and the pressurizing cylinder shaft 9 are connected, the gas drives the front cylinder shaft 1 and the pressurizing cylinder shaft 9 to move.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the two-stroke cylinder includes an initial position, a pre-stroke position and a working position. When the two-stroke cylinder is in the initial position, the first air chamber 501 and the third air chamber 503 are at the position of maximum volume, and the second air chamber 502 and the fourth air chamber 504 are at the position of minimum volume; when the two-stroke cylinder is in the pre-stroke position, the third air chamber 503 is at the position of maximum volume, the fourth air chamber 504 is at the position of minimum volume, and the front cylinder shaft 1 and the pressurized cylinder shaft 9 are connected by a locking mechanism; when the two-stroke cylinder is in the working position, the first air chamber 501 and the third air chamber 503 are at the position of minimum volume, and the second air chamber 502 and the fourth air chamber 504 are at the position of maximum volume.

[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the working process of the double-stroke cylinder is as follows:

[0045] The initial position of the double-stroke cylinder is the rightmost end. When located at the initial position, the front cylinder piston 8 and the pressurizing cylinder piston 12 are both located at the rightmost end. This position is, for example, a "wide opening" state.

[0046] The two-stroke cylinder first moves from the initial position (large opening state) to the pre-stroke position (small opening state), and stays at the pre-stroke position (small opening state).

[0047] When the two-stroke cylinder performs work (for example, when welding), the two-stroke cylinder moves from the pre-stroke position to the working position (closed state) until the (front cylinder shaft 1) presses the workpiece and stops moving, and the equipment starts welding. When the work (welding) is completed, the two-stroke cylinder moves to the pre-stroke position and stays at the pre-stroke position; in this way, it makes a back-and-forth motion between the pre-stroke position and the working position, repeating the working (welding) action, and multiple repetitions of the working action constitute a working cycle.

[0048] After completing a working cycle, the two-stroke cylinder moves from the pre-stroke position to the initial position and stays at the wide opening position.

[0049] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the working principle of the double-stroke cylinder is as follows:

[0050] Step 1: From the initial position to the pre-travel position (from the large opening state to the small opening state)

[0051] Under the control of the air valve, the second air hole 402 and the third air hole 403 take in air, and the first air hole 401 exhausts air. The compressed gas pushes the front cylinder piston 8 to move to the left, and at the same time pushes the retaining ring plate 7 to move. When the intermediate shaft 5 contacts the end core shaft 4, it stops moving, and the ball 6 enters the groove of the (end core shaft 4). At the same time, the retaining ring plate 7 slides to the left to the end of the front cylinder shaft 1 under the action of the compressed air introduced through the air holes (ventilation pipeline 15) on the front cylinder piston 8 and the pressurized cylinder shaft 9, and forms a lock with the ball 6, the intermediate shaft 5 and the pressurized cylinder shaft 9. The front cylinder piston 8 is connected to the pressurized cylinder piston 12 (via the locking mechanism) as a whole. Since the diameter of the pressurized cylinder piston 12 is larger than the diameter of the front cylinder piston 8, the (force-bearing) area of ​​the pressurized cylinder piston 12 is larger than the (force-bearing) area of ​​the front cylinder piston 8. Under the action of the compressed air entering from the third air hole 403, the pressurized cylinder piston 12 and the front cylinder piston 8 can withstand the external force transmitted from the front cylinder shaft 1 and remain stationary.

[0052] Step 2: From the pre-travel position to the working position (from the small opening state to the closed state)

[0053] Keep the second air hole 402 in the air intake state, the first air hole 401 in the exhaust state unchanged, the fourth air hole 404 inlet air, and the third air hole 403 exhaust air. Under the action of compressed air, the pressurized cylinder piston 12 and the front cylinder piston 8 move to the left at the same time until the front cylinder shaft 1 contacts the workpiece. The output force of the double-stroke cylinder is the sum of the pressures generated by the front cylinder piston 8 and the pressurized cylinder piston 12 under the action of compressed gas.

[0054] Step 3: From the working position to the pre-travel position (from the closed state to the small opening state)

[0055] The second air hole 402 is kept for air intake, the first air hole 401 is kept for exhaust, the third air hole 403 is kept for air intake, and the fourth air hole 404 is kept for exhaust. Since the diameter of the booster cylinder piston 12 is larger than the diameter of the front cylinder piston 8, the booster cylinder piston 12 drives all moving parts to move to the right through the locking mechanism under the action of air pressure, and the locking mechanism remains in a locked state during this process.

[0056] Step 4: From the pre-travel position to the initial position (from the small opening state to the large opening state)

[0057] The first air hole 401 is for intake, the second air hole 402 is for exhaust, and the third air hole 403 and the fourth air hole 404 remain unchanged. The compressed air pushes the snap ring plate 7 to move rightward to release the locking position, and the gas between the snap ring plate 7 and the front cylinder piston 8 is discharged through the vent holes (vent line 15) on the front cylinder piston 8 and the pressurized cylinder shaft 9, and the gas in the slot (cavity) of the front cylinder shaft 1 is discharged through the vent holes (vent line 15) on the end core shaft 4 and the pressurized cylinder shaft 9. After the locking is released, the compressed gas continues to push the snap ring plate 7 to drive the front cylinder shaft 1, the intermediate shaft 5, the ball 6 and the front cylinder piston 8 to move rightward, and the ball 6 enters the empty groove on the snap ring plate 7 until the front cylinder piston 8 and the middle partition plate 10 come into contact and stop.
