[0029] When in use, the gas valve of the present invention is connected to the upstream of the cylinder 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, the piston of the cylinder 1 divides the cylinder 1 into a chamber 11 and a chamber 2 12, and the telescopic rod 13 is arranged on the piston. The pilot chamber 1 31 and the main valve A 2 The chamber 53 is connected to the chamber 11, the pilot chamber 2 32 and the main valve B2 Cavity 54 is connected to chamber 2 12; pilot P 1 Cavity 36 is connected to the pilot air source, main valve P 2 The main gas source is introduced into the chamber 51. The left and right movement of the pilot valve core 3 triggers the movement of the main valve core 5, and the movement of the main valve core 5 realizes the reciprocating motion of the cylinder 1, and the reciprocating motion of the cylinder 1 promotes the movement of the pilot valve core 3. The specific process is as follows: After the piston in the chamber 11 is compressed, the gas in the chamber 11 flows into the pilot chamber 31 through the pilot air inlet 21, and the pilot chamber 31 is filled with pressurized gas and enters the first working state, so that the pilot P 1 Cavity 36 and pilot A 1 Cavity 35 is conducting, pilot P 1 The pilot air source of chamber 36 is supplied through pilot A 1 The gas flows into the main valve chamber 6 through the cavity 35 and the channel 45. The main valve chamber 6 is filled with pressurized gas and pushes the main valve core 5 to move rightward, so that the main valve P 2 Chamber 51 and main valve A 2 Chamber 53 is open, main valve P 2 The main gas source entering chamber 51 passes through main valve A 2 Cavity 53, A 2 The cavity gas port 26 enters the cavity 11; the cavity 11 is filled with the main gas source and then pushes the piston to move toward the cavity 2 12. After the cavity 2 12 is squeezed, the gas therein flows into the pilot cavity 2 32 through the pilot gas inlet 23. After the pilot cavity 2 32 is filled with pressurized gas, the pilot piston 33 and the pilot valve core 3 move leftward and enter the second working state, realizing the pilot P 1 Cavity 36 and pilot B 1 Cavity 37 is open, and the pilot gas source passes through the pilot P 1 Air inlet 22, pilot P 1 Cavity 36, pilot B 1 The main valve cavity 27 is filled with pressurized gas, which pushes the main valve core 5 to move leftward, so that the main valve P 2 Chamber 51 and main valve B 2 Chamber 54 is connected, main valve P 2 The main gas source entering chamber 51 passes through main valve B 2 Cavity 54, B 2 The cavity air port 27 enters the second chamber 12, and after the second chamber 12 is filled with the main air source, the telescopic rod 13 moves toward the first chamber 11 again to make the pilot valve core 3 enter the first working state. Such a reciprocating cycle realizes the reciprocating motion of the cylinder 1.

[0030] Here is a supplementary reasoning about how to achieve fast switching: The structure of the control valve of the present invention is to control the sliding of the main valve core 5 through the pilot valve core 3, and finally complete the reversal of the air circuit. Since the volume ratio of the pilot chamber 1 31 to the main valve chamber 1 6 is about 1:10, and the volume ratio of the pilot chamber 2 32 to the main valve chamber 2 7 is about 1:10. Then lower air pressure and smaller air consumption can be used to control the reversal of the air circuit. If the system air supply pressure and flow rate remain unchanged, the pilot air control valve of the present invention has a faster response speed and smoother reversal than ordinary air control valves. When the system air supply pressure is low, the performance of the air control valve of the present invention is more stable than that of ordinary air control valves. S 1 S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the pilot valve core 3 in the pilot chamber 1 31; 2 The cross-sectional area of ​​the main valve core 5 in the main valve cavity 1 6; the flow of the pilot air inlet 1 21 and the pilot air inlet 23 acts on the pilot cavity 1 31 and the pilot cavity 2 32, instead of directly acting on the main valve cavity 1 6 and the main valve cavity 2 7. It can be inferred from the formula v = Q / S, v is the speed, Q is the intake flow, S is the force cross-sectional area, and when the pilot intake flow remains unchanged, S is set 2 =10S 1 , then the movement speed of the pilot valve core 3 will be much higher than that of the main valve core 5; once the pilot valve core 3 works, it will open a larger flow of control gas to control the movement of the main valve core 5, so that the main valve core 5 moves quickly.

[0031] The cylinder control valve of the present invention integrates the pilot valve and the main valve in the same valve body, which solves the problems of poor sealing and slow response speed of the split-type air valve, reduces the risk of leakage, and improves the switching efficiency; the volume ratio design of the pilot chamber and the main valve chamber (1:10) drives the large-flow air circuit through a small air pressure, saving the air source while achieving an increase in the cylinder switching speed; manual push rods are arranged at both ends of the pilot valve core to provide a manual reset function when the air pressure is insufficient, thereby enhancing the reliability and applicability of the system; the symmetrical design of the spring chambers at both ends of the main valve core ensures that the main valve core automatically resets in the neutral state; the technical solution of the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems well, and has strong innovation and practicality.
