Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic cylinders, specifically to a single-path hydraulic rotary joint with multiple oil chambers. Background Technology

[0002] According to their working principle, swing hydraulic cylinders can be classified into single-acting swing hydraulic cylinders and double-acting swing hydraulic cylinders. Among them, vane-type swing hydraulic cylinders are widely used in various industrial production and robot joint design due to their compact structure, small moment of inertia, smooth movement, and strong load capacity. To meet operational requirements, the technology is developing towards multi-condition, multi-joint, and multi-degree-of-freedom robots. However, for hydraulic cylinders with multiple actuators, a hydraulic pump needs to connect hydraulic pipes to each hydraulic cylinder. Too many or too long hydraulic pipes during operation will cause the hydraulic system to become too large. The random swinging of the oil pipes will interfere with the execution motion, reduce the effective output torque of the hydraulic cylinder, and affect the working efficiency of the swing hydraulic cylinder. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems and, in conjunction with practical production considerations, propose a multi-chamber single-path hydraulic rotary joint. The output shaft features axial blind holes and radial through holes, reducing the inertia of the working shaft while simultaneously forming an oil circuit with the auxiliary cylinder. This ensures that the oil pipes and support plate remain relatively stationary, preventing arbitrary oscillations of the oil pipes that could affect movement and cause interference. It simplifies the oil pipes in multi-condition working spaces, avoiding excessive or long oil pipes that could negatively impact joint movement and improve safety. It significantly reduces the volume of the hydraulic system and, to a certain extent, reduces pressure loss in the oil pipes, thereby improving the efficiency of the hydraulic rotary cylinder. Furthermore, the use of multiple sealing methods ensures excellent sealing performance for the hydraulic cylinder, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional rotary cylinders in terms of volumetric efficiency. This results in advantages such as simple structure, good sealing, high efficiency, long service life, and high safety.

5. The working method of a multi-chamber single-path hydraulic rotary joint according to claim 1, characterized in that: High-pressure oil enters two hydraulic oil circuits through the diverter valve connector (16) and the valve guide connector respectively into port A and port E. High-pressure oil enters the second auxiliary cylinder (13) through port A of connector (16) and flows out from port B of the working shaft, connecting to the next hydraulic cylinder with the oil pipe. Low-pressure oil of the next hydraulic cylinder enters the first auxiliary cylinder through the oil pipe from port D of the working shaft connector (36) and flows out from port C of the oil chamber connection assembly, forming an oil circuit. High-pressure oil enters the working chamber of the swing cylinder through port E, and low-pressure oil enters the working chamber through port F, forming an oil circuit. A pressure difference will be generated between the two working chambers at both ends of the moving blade (24), and the movement of the hydraulic cylinder will be controlled by the valve guide. When the hydraulic cylinder is working, the oil pipe and the support plate are relatively stationary, avoiding the oil pipe from swinging randomly and affecting the movement and interference. In addition, the moving blade (24) drives the working shaft (20) and the reading head (32) to rotate together. The angle signal received by the magnetic grating ruler is sent to the PC in the later stage. The logic signal issued by the PC controls the servo valve.
