Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of solenoid valves, and in particular to a cylinder with a buffer device. Background Art

[0002] The pneumatic solenoid valve is one of the solenoid valves commonly used in production. After the pneumatic solenoid valve is usually connected to the air source, the movement of the piston is controlled by the electromagnetic coil, thereby achieving the purpose of inflating the cylinder.

[0003] At present, when using a pneumatic cylinder, it is easy for the piston to hit the front or rear end cover due to the load on the piston rod or the inertial force when the cylinder moves under the pressure of the air pressure.

[0004] In actual use, an external auxiliary device is usually set up for buffering to reduce the impact force. However, the external buffer device often increases the overall installation position, and the buffer device installed inside the cylinder often has a complex structure and cannot achieve effective buffering effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a cylinder with a buffer device, by arranging buffer air chamber A and buffer air chamber B at the front and rear ends of the cylinder. When the piston moves, the buffer piston A and buffer piston B are pushed, and the air in the buffer air chamber A and buffer air chamber B is squeezed by the buffer piston A or the buffer piston B, thereby compressing the buffer spring A or the buffer spring B to decelerate and avoid impact damage to the cylinder.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0007] A cylinder with a buffer device, comprising:

[0008] A cylinder body, wherein a piston rod is provided in the cylinder body, a piston is fixedly connected to the piston rod, a front end cover is fixedly connected to the front end of the cylinder body, and a rear end cover is fixedly connected to the rear end of the cylinder body, and a free end of the piston rod passes through the front end cover;

[0009] A front buffer device, comprising a buffer piston A and a buffer spring A. The buffer piston A is fixedly connected to a coaxially arranged guide column A. A through hole A is provided at the center of the buffer piston A and the guide column A along the length direction. The piston rod is connected to the through hole A. A buffer air chamber A is formed between the buffer piston A and the front end cover. The buffer spring A is provided between the free end of the guide column A and the front end cover.

[0010] A rear buffer device, comprising a buffer piston B and a buffer spring B. The buffer piston B is fixedly connected to a coaxial guide post B. A through hole B is provided at the center of the buffer piston B and the guide post B along its length. A buffer air chamber B is formed between the buffer piston B and the rear end cover. The buffer spring B is provided between the free end of the guide post B and the rear end cover.

[0011] The front end cover is provided with an air hole A connected to the front end air chamber of the piston, and the rear end cover is provided with an air hole B connected to the rear end air chamber of the piston.

[0012] Furthermore, a mounting groove A is provided on the inner wall of the front end cover near the buffer piston A, and a one-way sealing ring A is provided in the mounting groove A. A vent A and a vent B are provided on the front end cover. The vent A connects the buffer air cavity A with the mounting groove A, and the vent B connects the buffer air cavity A with the buffer air outlet A on the outer wall of the front end cover.

[0013] Furthermore, a regulating valve A is installed in the buffer air outlet A.

[0014] Furthermore, a mounting groove B is provided on the inner wall of the rear end cover near the buffer piston B, a one-way sealing ring B is provided in the mounting groove B, and a vent C and a vent D are provided on the rear end cover. The vent C connects the buffer air cavity B with the mounting groove B, and the vent D connects the buffer air cavity B with the buffer air outlet B on the outer wall of the rear end cover.

[0015] Furthermore, a regulating valve B is installed in the buffer air outlet B.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner wall of the front end cover is symmetrically fixedly connected to a limit pin A, the guide column A is provided with a slide groove A along the length, the limit pin A is inserted into the slide groove A, and the inner wall of the rear end cover is symmetrically fixedly connected to a limit pin B, and the guide column B is provided with a slide groove b along the length.

[0017] Furthermore, a bidirectional sealing ring A is installed on the piston, a bidirectional sealing ring B is installed on the buffer piston A, and a bidirectional sealing ring C is installed on the buffer piston B.

[0018] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0019] 1. The overall structure of this patent is relatively simple to process. Compared with the existing cylinder with a buffer device, this patent does not require a complicated processing procedure and only requires the processing of straight holes. Compared with other special-shaped buffer structures, it is more convenient, simple and quick.

[0020] 1. This patent sets a front buffer device and a rear buffer device. When the cylinder is running, the piston squeezes the buffer piston A in the front buffer device and the buffer piston B in the rear buffer device to achieve the effect of reducing the impact force by squeezing the buffer piston A or the buffer piston B through the buffer spring A and the buffer spring B.

[0021] 2. In order to perform buffering more effectively, a mounting groove A is provided on the front end cover, and a one-way sealing ring A is provided in the mounting groove and sleeved on the guide column A, so that most of the gas entering the air hole A enters the air chamber of the piston through the gap between the piston rod and the through hole A, and a small part can enter the mounting groove A through the one-way sealing ring A, and then enter the buffer air cavity A through the air hole A connecting the mounting groove A and the buffer air cavity A. When air enters the air hole A, the buffer piston A can be effectively pushed to reset under the action of the buffer spring A. When the buffer piston A is squeezed, the gas in the buffer air cavity A can enter the buffer outlet hole A through the air vent B and be discharged, thereby achieving better buffering.

[0022] 3. By installing the regulating valve A, the air outlet volume at the buffer outlet A can be effectively controlled to achieve a better buffering effect.

[0023] Fourth, by setting a mounting groove B on the rear end cover and setting a one-way sealing ring B in it, the one-way sealing ring B is sleeved on the guide column B, so that when air is taken in from the air hole B, most of the air flow is used to push the piston to move, and a small amount of air flow enters the buffer air chamber B through the vent hole C to drive the buffer piston B to reset.

[0024] 5. By setting the limit pin A and the limit pin B, it is ensured that the buffer piston A and the buffer piston B will not rotate during use, thereby ensuring stable operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
