Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a hydraulic control device, and more particularly to an underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to its high technology, high investment, and high risk, marine oil and gas underwater equipment faces increasingly stringent environmental and energy constraints, leading to higher requirements for the equipment and greater difficulty in design and manufacturing as the various components become more interconnected.

[0003] With the emergence of new technologies, control technology has gradually evolved from electro-hydraulic to fully electro-controlled. However, current underwater electro-control system technology is still unstable. Therefore, underwater hydraulic control technology remains the mainstream development direction for current marine oil and gas underwater equipment.

[0004] For the curved movements of moving parts of underwater equipment (such as hatch opening), current methods often control them by extending or retracting a single hydraulic cylinder. This control structure has advantages such as stability, reliability, simple operation, high efficiency, and overload protection, but it still has the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Conventional hydraulic cylinders have simple movements. When faced with curved movement trajectories, the arc of the movement is limited due to the constraints of the weight and stroke of the hydraulic cylinder, making it difficult to achieve large-arc movements.

[0006] 2. Conventional hydraulic cylinders extend and retract in a straight line, usually intersecting with the circle containing the arc of the motion trajectory. This results in low transmission efficiency and a tendency to jam during operation.

[0007] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of this application and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as small arc radius and easy jamming during operation, and to provide an underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device with a larger arc radius and less prone to jamming during operation.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0010] An underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device, the relay device comprising: an arc-shaped bracket, a relay slide, a left hydraulic cylinder, a right hydraulic cylinder, and a relay mechanism;

[0011] The arc-shaped support has a relay slide rail on its arc-shaped surface. A left hydraulic cylinder and a right hydraulic cylinder are respectively hinged to both ends of the arc-shaped support. The left and right hydraulic cylinders are respectively located on opposite sides of the arc-shaped support. A relay mechanism that can slide along the relay slide rail is provided in the relay slide rail. The relay mechanism is a relay pin. The relay pin is a double-headed pin. The relay pin is set perpendicular to the arc-shaped support. The middle part of the relay pin slides in cooperation with the relay slide rail. The two ends of the relay pin are respectively inserted into the lugs of the left and right hydraulic cylinders. The distance between the lugs of the left and right hydraulic cylinders and the sum of the thickness of a single lug are equal to the length of the relay pin.

[0012] The relay slide includes a left slide and a right slide that are parallel to each other. The left slide and the right slide are opened from the left end of the arc-shaped support to the right end of the arc-shaped support. The left slide is located near the left hydraulic cylinder and the right slide is located near the right hydraulic cylinder. The opposite ends of the left slide and the right slide are arc-shaped transition sections. The two arc-shaped transition sections are tangent to each other, and the connection point of the two arc-shaped transition sections coincides with the midpoint of the arc-shaped support.

[0013] The arc-shaped bracket is a hollow frame structure with a rectangular cross-section. The relay mechanism is set in the inner cavity of the arc-shaped bracket and slides with the inner wall of the arc-shaped bracket. The two side walls of the arc-shaped bracket are provided with pin slots that cooperate with the pins of the relay mechanism. The left slide and the right slide are both opened on the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped bracket.

[0014] Each end of the arc-shaped bracket is provided with a hydraulic cylinder support leg. The hydraulic cylinder support leg located at the left end of the arc-shaped bracket is located near the left slide rail, and the hydraulic cylinder support leg located at the right end of the arc-shaped bracket is located near the right slide rail. The left hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the hydraulic cylinder support leg located at the left end of the arc-shaped bracket, and the right hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the hydraulic cylinder support leg located at the right end of the arc-shaped bracket. When the telescopic rods of the left and right hydraulic cylinders are fully extended, the line connecting the earrings on them coincides with the connection point of the two arc-shaped transition sections.

[0015] Both the left and right hydraulic cylinders have conical relay grooves for corresponding relay pins on their lugs, and both the left and right hydraulic cylinders have rubber pads fitted on their cylinder seats.

[0016] The relay mechanism also includes a limiting rod, which is an integral structure with the relay pin. The middle part of the relay pin is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod, and the other end of the limiting rod is inserted into the relay slide and slides with the relay slide.

[0017] The relay device also includes a positioning slider, which is a block structure that cooperates with the inner cavity of the arc-shaped bracket. The positioning slider has interconnected pin holes and limit rod grooves. The pin holes and limit rod grooves are both perpendicular to the plane of the arc-shaped bracket. Both ends of the pin holes and limit rod grooves protrude through the side wall of the positioning slider. The pin holes are corresponding to the relay pins, and the limit rod grooves are corresponding to the limit rods.

[0018] The arc-shaped bracket is also provided with two cylinder mounting plates, which are respectively fixedly mounted on the two cylinder legs. The cylinder mounting plates are also provided with two cylinder mounting ears that cooperate with the left or right hydraulic cylinder.

[0019] A cylinder support plate is also fixedly installed on the cylinder mounting plate. One side of the cylinder support plate is fixedly connected to the side edge of the cylinder mounting plate near the inner arc surface of the arc bracket. A cylinder receiving groove is opened on the other side of the cylinder support plate. The two cylinder receiving grooves are set opposite to the rubber pads on the left or right hydraulic cylinder. When the left or right hydraulic cylinder contacts the cylinder receiving groove, the conical relay groove on it is set opposite to the connection of the two arc transition sections.

[0020] A limit device connecting plate is also fixedly installed on the cylinder mounting plate. One side of the limit device connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side edge of the cylinder mounting plate near the outer arc surface of the arc bracket, and a limit device is fixedly installed on the other side of the limit device connecting plate.

[0021] The limiting device includes a spring cylinder, a spring fixing rod, a spring, an annular pressure plate, a limiting head, and a limiting ring.

[0022] The spring cylinder is fixedly mounted on the connecting plate of the limiting device. The open end of the spring cylinder faces the rubber pad. The open end of the spring cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the annular pressure plate. A spring fixing rod is fixedly mounted inside the spring cylinder. A spring is sleeved on the spring fixing rod. A blind hole that mates with the spring fixing rod is opened inside the limiting head. A limiting ring is fixedly mounted at the end of the limiting head. After the limiting head is inserted into the inner hole of the annular pressure plate, it is sleeved on the spring fixing rod. The limiting ring on the limiting head is in limiting engagement with the annular pressure plate. The limiting head is pressed into one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is pressed into the spring cylinder. The limiting head is pressed into engagement with its corresponding hydraulic cylinder receiving groove through a hydraulic cylinder.

[0023] The arc-shaped bracket is also provided with a slider connecting groove, which is opened directly opposite the positioning slider. The width of the slider connecting groove is smaller than the width of the positioning slider, and the two ends of the slider connecting groove are respectively located close to the two ends of the arc-shaped bracket.

[0024] The cylinder support leg is provided with a relay pin mounting hole, which is a strip-shaped hole, and the end of the relay pin mounting hole is connected to the pin groove.

[0025] The relay mechanism also includes a limiting plate. A limiting plate is fixedly installed on one end of the limiting rod, and the other end of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the relay pin. The diameter of the limiting plate is greater than the width of the left slide and the right slide.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0027] 1. In the underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device of the present invention, a relay slide is provided on the arc-shaped support. The relay slide includes a left slide, a middle slide, and a right slide that are connected end to end. The left slide and the right slide are respectively located near the two side walls of the arc-shaped support. The opposite ends of the left slide and the right slide are arc-shaped transition sections, and the two arc-shaped transition sections are tangent. A hydraulic cylinder is hinged to each end of the arc-shaped support. The two hydraulic cylinders are located near the slide on their corresponding side. When fully extended, the two hydraulic cylinders are located on the extension line of the middle slide. A relay mechanism is provided in the relay slide. The two ends of the relay mechanism are respectively inserted and engaged with the lugs of the two hydraulic cylinders. In use, when one of the hydraulic cylinders drives the relay mechanism to move to the arc-shaped transition section, the relay mechanism enters the other slide along the arc-shaped transition section. At the same time, the relay mechanism disengages from the original hydraulic cylinder and inserts into the other hydraulic cylinder, thereby expanding the range of motion of the relay mechanism to twice that of a single cylinder. Therefore, this design allows the relay mechanism to achieve relay between two hydraulic cylinders through a relay slide, effectively expanding the operating range of the relay device.

[0028] 2. In the underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device of the present invention, the arc-shaped bracket is a frame structure with an arc. The arc of the arc-shaped bracket coincides with the required motion trajectory. The inner cavity of the arc-shaped bracket cooperates with the positioning slider, so that the arc-shaped bracket can guide the positioning slider and prevent the relay device from jamming during the action. Therefore, this design can guide the positioning slider through the arc-shaped bracket, preventing the relay device from jamming during the action and effectively improving the reliability of the relay device.

[0029] 3. In the underwater hydraulic cylinder arc relay device of the present invention, a hydraulic cylinder support plate is fixedly installed on the cylinder mounting plate, and a hydraulic cylinder buffer pad is fixedly installed on the cylinder support plate. This can prevent the hydraulic cylinder from colliding with the cylinder mounting plate during operation. Simultaneously, when the left or right hydraulic cylinder contacts the cylinder buffer pad, its conical relay groove is positioned directly opposite the connection point of the two arc-shaped transition sections. When the relay device performs the relay, the relay pin can be accurately inserted into the conical relay groove. Therefore, this design, through the hydraulic cylinder support plate, allows the relay pin to be accurately inserted into the conical relay groove, effectively improving the relay success rate.
