Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The technical features of each embodiment of the present invention can be combined accordingly, provided that there is no mutual conflict.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a hydraulically driven constant-pressure ball head pressurizing device, which is used for working under constant pressure. The device mainly includes a movable crossbeam module and a constant hydraulic system module. The movable crossbeam module has a machined ball head for rolling contact with the lower end face of the sample, and also includes a linear bearing to restrict the freedom of the machined ball head and the movable crossbeam in the horizontal plane. The constant hydraulic system module includes a stepped-shaft hydraulic cylinder and an oil circuit system. The stepped-shaft hydraulic cylinder is connected to the movable crossbeam module and provides constant pressure through the oil circuit system, applying this pressure to the machined ball head, ultimately applying the load to the surface of the machined part through the ball head. The oil circuit system controls the working pressure inside the stepped-shaft hydraulic cylinder through the interaction of an electromagnetic proportional pressure reducing valve and two pressure gauges, and promptly replenishes pressure when a loss occurs.

[0031] The structure and connection method of each module will be explained in detail below.

[0032] The movable crossbeam module mainly includes a movable crossbeam 4 and a machined ball head 1. The machined ball head 1 is fixed to the movable crossbeam 4 by a ball head retainer 2 for rolling contact with the lower end face of the sample. In this embodiment, the ball head retainer 2 is fixed to the upper end face of the movable crossbeam 4 by three M10 bolts. The movable crossbeam module also includes linear bearings 3 and connecting parts 5. Two linear bearings 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper end face of the movable crossbeam 4. Each linear bearing 3 is connected to the outside through a guide post to limit the vertical movement of the movable crossbeam 4, so that the movable crossbeam 4 can only move in the vertical direction. The movable crossbeam 4 is connected to a constant hydraulic system module that can provide vertical lifting force. The constant hydraulic system module can change the vertical load force between the machined ball head 1 and the sample.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the stepped shaft hydraulic cylinder mainly includes a piston rod 6, an end cap 9, a piston sleeve 8, and a sealing ring 10. The piston rod 6 has a stepped shaft structure, including a continuous top section, a middle section, and a bottom section from top to bottom, with the cross-section of the middle section being larger than that of the bottom section. The top section is fixedly connected to the movable crossbeam 4 via a connector 5, which is fixed to the bottom of the movable crossbeam 4. In this embodiment, the connector 5 can be a rotating body structure with internal threaded holes, and the piston rod 6 is interconnected with the movable crossbeam module via the connector 5. A bearing is installed inside the ball head 1, and a small ball is embedded in the top. The small ball can roll freely on the surface of the ball head 1 under the action of the bearing, thereby achieving rolling contact with the sample.

[0034] The middle section of piston rod 6 is coaxially spaced inside piston sleeve 8, with a sealing ring 10 between them. Piston rod 6 can slide vertically in a sealed manner under the constraint of piston sleeve 8. End cap 9 is located at the bottom of piston sleeve 8. The upper part of the bottom section is coaxially spaced inside end cap 9, with a sealing ring 10 between them. Piston rod 6 can slide vertically in a sealed manner under the constraint of end cap 9. Sealing ring 10 can be an O-ring. Piston sleeve 8, end cap 9, bottom surface of the middle section, and bottom section form an annular closed hydraulic pressure action zone. An axially oriented hole is formed in the bottom section. One end of the hole connects to an oil circuit system for providing constant oil pressure, and the other end connects to the action zone. The oil pressure within the hydraulic pressure action zone provides a vertical force to piston rod 6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the hole can be configured as an L-shaped hole structure, that is, the hole includes an interconnected vertical section and a horizontal section. One end of the vertical section is connected to the oil circuit system, and the other end is connected to the horizontal section. One end of the horizontal section is connected to the vertical section, and the other end is connected to the oil pressure application area. The piston sleeve 8 can be fixed to the table via the flange 7 to achieve multi-directional fixed positioning. The end cap 9 and the piston sleeve 8 are fixedly connected by threads. The lower end of the piston rod 6 has a tapered threaded hole for fixed connection with the oil circuit system.

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, the oil circuit system includes an oil tank 21, a first oil circuit, a second oil circuit, and a third oil circuit. The oil tank 21 is connected to one end of an orifice via the first oil circuit. Along the oil flow direction, the first oil circuit sequentially includes a metering pump 19, a one-way valve 18, a throttle valve 17, a proportional pressure reducing valve 12, and a first pressure gauge 11. The metering pump 19 is connected to an external motor 20, which can be a DC motor; the proportional pressure reducing valve 12 can be an electromagnetic proportional pressure reducing valve. The first oil circuit also includes an accumulator 13 and a second pressure gauge 14, located between the throttle valve 17 and the proportional pressure reducing valve 12. The first oil circuit located between the throttle valve 17 and the proportional pressure reducing valve 12 also includes a second oil circuit and a third oil circuit, both connected to the oil tank 21. The second oil circuit includes a high-pressure ball valve 15, and the third oil circuit includes an overflow valve 16. The first oil circuit is used to supply oil to the stepped shaft hydraulic cylinder under normal working conditions; the second oil circuit is used to release excess oil in the first oil circuit after the work is completed; and the third oil circuit is used to release some oil when the first oil circuit is over-pressurized, so as to maintain the first oil circuit within the safe oil pressure range.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressurization method using the above-mentioned hydraulically driven constant pressure ball head pressurization device is as follows:

[0038] 1) Before pressurizing, bring the machined ball head 1 into contact with the sample to be pressurized, so that the two can roll into contact. Close the high-pressure ball valve 15, and open the overflow valve 16, check valve 18, throttle valve 17 and proportional pressure reducing valve 12.

[0039] 2) During pressurization, the motor 20 is turned on to provide power to the metering pump 19, which then raises the pressure in the first oil circuit to the set pressure P of the relief valve 16. Hmax Then, motor 20 is shut off. The relief valve 16 acts as a protection circuit in this system; when the high-pressure oil circuit pressure exceeds P... Hmax When this happens, the relief valve will automatically release pressure. The system pressure P of the first oil circuit is monitored in real time by the first pressure gauge 11. H If P H Not exceeding the set value P H0 At that time, restart motor 20 to provide pressure to the first oil circuit. If P H Greater than the set value P H0 At that time, the pressure is reduced to the set pressure P through the proportional pressure reducing valve 12. L .

[0040] Keep the pressure constant at P L Hydraulic oil is introduced into the oil pressure zone through the hole at the bottom of the piston rod 6. The oil pressure generates an upward force on the annular area at the bottom of the middle section located in the oil pressure zone. The piston rod 6 drives the movable crossbeam 4 to rise, and then applies a load to the sample through the processed ball head 1.

[0041] 3) After the pressurization work is completed, open the high-pressure ball valve 15 to release pressure in the first oil circuit.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, all technical solutions obtained through equivalent substitution or transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
