[0019] The locking assembly includes a fixed block 11 and a spring 12; two fixed blocks 11 are slidably connected to the movable block 4, the fixed block 11 is in contact with the cylinder body 1, and the fixed block 11 is in contact with the corresponding fixed block 7; each fixed block 7 is provided with an avoidance groove 71; each fixed block 11 is fixedly connected to a spring 12, and the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the movable block 4.

[0020] The rubber pad 10 is provided with a plurality of grooves 95 .

[0021] The side surface of the rubber pad 10 close to the movable block 4 is set as an inclined surface for guiding the fixed block 7.

[0022] First, two external pipes are manually connected to through hole 1 91 and through hole 2 92 respectively. When an extension operation is required, the external pipe delivers hydraulic oil to through hole 1 91, and the hydraulic oil flows into the cavity on the right side of piston 6 through through hole 1 91. Then, piston 6 is pushed to the left by the hydraulic oil, and piston 6 drives linkage block 9 to move to the left. Linkage block 9 applies a leftward thrust to fixed block 1 7, while fixed block 1 7 is blocked by fixed block 2 11 and cannot move upward, so that linkage block 9 pushes fixed block 1 7 to move to the left, fixed block 1 7 pushes movable block 1 4 to move to the left, and movable block 1 4 drives movable rod 3 to move to the left, and the left part of movable rod 3 is pushed out of cylinder body 1 to complete the extension operation.

[0023] During the extension operation, the movable block 4 drives the parts thereon to move to the left together. In the final stage of the extension operation, the left side of the fixed block 11 contacts the cylinder body 1, and the movable block 4 drives the fixed block 7 to continue to move to the left, while the fixed block 11 is blocked by the cylinder body 1 and remains stationary, so that the avoidance groove 71 on the fixed block 7 is aligned with the raised portion at the right end of the fixed block 11, and the spring 12 is compressed. At this time, the fixed block 11 stops blocking and limiting the fixed block 7, and the piston 6 drives the linkage block 9 to move to the left, so that the linkage block 9 pushes the fixed block 7 to move away from the center line of the movable block 4, and stretches the spring 8, so that the fixed block 11 is The fixed block 7 squeezes the rubber pad 10 on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, and the piston 6 continues to move to the left, causing the rubber pad 10 to slide to the left in a damping manner on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, thereby buffering and decelerating the piston 6 until the left side of the movable block 4 contacts the cylinder body 1. At this time, the movable rod 3 has been extended to the limit position, and the fixed block 7 is just aligned with the groove 94. The piston 6 drives the linkage block 9 to continue to move to the left, so that the linkage block 9 pushes the fixed block 7 to move toward the corresponding groove 94, thereby inserting the fixed block 7 into the groove 94. At this time, the movable block 4 is locked on the cylinder body 1 through the fixed block 7, thereby locking the movable rod 3 on the cylinder body 1, completing the self-locking operation.

[0024] When shortening operation is required, the external pipeline connected with through hole 1 91 starts to release pressure, and the external pipeline connected with through hole 2 92 delivers hydraulic oil to through hole 2 92, and the hydraulic oil flows into the inner side of cylinder body 1 through through hole 2 92, and then flows into the left cavity of piston 6 through transparent groove 93, and then the piston 6 is pushed to move rightward by the hydraulic oil, and piston 6 drives linkage block 9 to move rightward, so that spring 18 rebounds and drives fixed block 17 to move toward the center line of movable block 14, and then the fixed block 17 is moved away from groove 194, completing the unlocking operation. During the unlocking process, piston 6 also The connecting rod 5 will be driven to move rightward. After the connecting rod 5 slides to the rightward to the limit position in the movable block 4, the movable block 4 is pulled to move rightward by the connecting rod 5. The movable block 4 drives the fixed block 2 11 and the spring 2 12 to move rightward. After the fixed block 2 11 stops contacting the cylinder body 1, the spring 2 12 drives the fixed block 2 11 to move back to its original position, so that the raised part at the right end of the fixed block 2 11 contacts the fixed block 7 again, so that the fixed block 2 11 locks the fixed block 7 again, and the movable block 4 drives the movable rod 3 to move rightward, and the right part of the movable rod 3 is received in the cylinder body 1, completing the shortening operation.

[0025] When the fixing block 1 7 squeezes the rubber pad 10 onto the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 , the hydraulic oil in the groove 2 95 can be squeezed out, thereby sucking the rubber pad 10 onto the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 , which is beneficial to increase the resistance of the rubber pad 10 when sliding on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 , thereby improving the buffering and deceleration effect on the piston 6 .

[0026] During use, when the movable rod 3 is extended to the maximum value, the movable rod 3 can be locked on the cylinder body 1 by the fixing block 17. In the final stage of the extension operation, the fixing block 17 can also cooperate with the rubber pad 10 to buffer and decelerate the piston 6 to prevent the movable rod 3 and the parts thereon from stopping at a high speed, thereby reducing structural damage. At the same time, by providing a groove 295 on the rubber pad 10, the rubber pad 10 is sucked tightly on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 to increase the resistance of the rubber pad 10 when sliding on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, thereby improving the buffering and deceleration effect on the piston 6.

[0027] Example 2 On the basis of Example 1, Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a movable block 13; two movable blocks 13 are slidably connected to the movable block 14, and a chamber 96 is formed between the movable block 13 and the movable block 4; two channels 97 are opened on the movable block 4, and the channels 97 are connected to the corresponding chambers 96; a chamber 98 is formed between each fixed block 7 and the movable block 4, and the chamber 98 is connected to the corresponding channel 97.

[0028] The movable block 13 is provided with an inclined surface. When the hydraulic oil flows through the transparent groove 93 , it will impact the inclined surface of the movable block 13 , thereby pushing the movable block 13 toward the inside of the chamber 1 96 .

[0029] The movable block 2 13 is provided with a protrusion, the movable block 1 4 is provided with a slide groove, and the movable block 1 4 is located outside the corresponding protrusion to prevent falling off.

[0030] During the shortening operation, during the unlocking stage of the fixed block 7, if the piston 6 moves to the right too quickly, before the spring 8 has taken the fixed block 7 away from the groove 94, the piston 6 will pull the movable block 4 to move to the right through the connecting rod 5, so that the movable block 4 applies a rightward thrust to the fixed block 7, pressing the fixed block 7 against the side wall of the groove 94, so that the spring 8 cannot take the fixed block 7 away from the groove 94, resulting in the problem of unlocking failure. Therefore, during the shortening operation, the external pipe connected to the through hole 2 92 is pushed toward the through hole 2 92 transports hydraulic oil, which flows into the inner side of the cylinder body 1 through the through hole 92, and then flows into the left cavity of the piston 6 through the transparent groove 93, so that the hydraulic oil pressure in the left cavity of the piston 6 increases, thereby pushing the movable block 13 to move through the hydraulic oil, and the movable block 13 squeezes the pressure oil originally sealed in the chamber 1 96, so that the pressure oil in the chamber 1 96 flows into the chamber 2 98 through the channel 1 97, and then pushes the fixed block 7 to move away from the groove 1 94, assisting the fixed block 7 to perform the unlocking operation.

[0031] When the hydraulic oil flows through the transparent groove 93 into the left cavity of the piston 6, the hydraulic oil flows through the inclined surface of the movable block 13, thereby applying a thrust to the movable block 13 toward the center of the movable block 14, providing a starting force for the movement of the movable block 13, which is beneficial to improving the sensitivity of the movable block 13 when starting, and is beneficial to improving the unlocking speed of the fixed block 7.

[0032] When in use, hydraulic oil is used to push the movable block 13 to move, so that the movable block 13 pressurizes the pressure oil in the chamber 98, thereby pushing the fixed block 7 to move away from the groove 94 through the pressure oil, and assisting the fixed block 7 to perform the unlocking operation. At the same time, when the hydraulic oil flows through the inclined surface of the movable block 13, it can apply a thrust to the movable block 13 toward the center of the movable block 4, providing a starting force for the movement of the movable block 13, which is beneficial to improve the sensitivity of the movable block 13 when starting, and is beneficial to improve the unlocking speed of the fixed block 7.

[0033] Example 3 On the basis of Example 2, Figure 3 As shown, two channels 99 are provided on the cylinder body 1 , and the channels 99 are connected to the corresponding grooves 94 , and the hydraulic oil flows from the channels 99 into the grooves 94 .

[0034] The fixed block 7 and the linkage block 9 are both made of wear-resistant materials to increase their service life.

[0035] The outer surface of the cylinder body 1 is coated with anti-corrosion paint to prevent rust.

[0036] During the shortening operation, in the unlocking stage of the fixed block 7, the external pipe connected to the through hole 2 92 transports hydraulic oil to the through hole 2 92, and the hydraulic oil flows into the inner side of the cylinder body 1 through the through hole 2 92, and part of the hydraulic oil flows into the groove 1 94 through the channel 2 99, and then pushes the fixed block 7 to move away from the groove 1 94, and cooperates with the spring 1 8 and the pressure oil in the chamber 2 98 to unlock the fixed block 7, thereby greatly improving the unlocking efficiency of the fixed block 7 and avoiding the problem of failure of unlocking the fixed block 7 due to the excessively fast movement of the piston 6.
