[0003] The hydraulic cylinder is an important actuating mechanism of the electro-hydraulic servo system. The double-acting symmetrical hydraulic cylinder is widely used in electro-hydraulic servo systems because the two cavities have equal action areas, and the system dynamic characteristics are symmetrical when moving forward and backward. Among them, the actuator cylinder is a key part that contains and stores hydraulic medium. It needs to withstand high oil pressure during work and requires sufficient strength and stiffness. The piston rod is in a high-pressure, high-load, and high-speed working environment, and has high load-bearing strength and is a moving part. Therefore, the piston rod requires high hardness, excellent wear resistance, certain corrosion resistance, and good stiffness.

[0004] CFRP is an anisotropic composite material. The winding angle and thickness of the pre-impregnated carbon fiber reinforced resin have a great influence on the performance of the composite material base cylinder and piston rod. The performance requirements of the cylinder and piston rod are high, and the design scheme of the winding angle and thickness of the fiber reinforced resin is particularly important and will directly affect the strength, surface quality, and other properties of the composite material cylinder and piston rod. Therefore, the winding angle and thickness of the fiber reinforced resin need to be analyzed and considered from multiple dimensions such as material properties, product structure, layup process, and strength simulation to select the optimal layup structure design.
