Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic cylinder equipment technology, and in particular to a hydraulic cylinder with a buffer function. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic cylinders, as key actuators that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, are widely used in engineering machinery, metallurgical equipment, machine tools, and other fields. Their operational stability directly affects the working accuracy and service life of the entire machine. During the operation of a hydraulic cylinder, the relative movement between the piston plate and the cylinder bottom cover at the end of the return stroke can easily generate impacts due to inertia. These impacts not only produce harsh noises but also accelerate component wear and shorten the service life of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0003] Currently, commonly available hydraulic cylinders suffer from significant deficiencies in their cushioning design. Existing hydraulic cylinders often employ a single gap or fixed throttling method for cushioning, resulting in a rather harsh cushioning effect. During the return stroke, the sudden increase in oil discharge resistance as the piston plate approaches the cylinder bottom cover causes an instantaneous increase in cushioning force, making gradual kinetic energy absorption difficult. This "hard impact" leads to a violent collision between the piston plate and the cylinder bottom cover. Over time, the contact surfaces of these surfaces are prone to deformation and cracking, potentially causing hydraulic cylinder leaks and seal failures. Furthermore, the high-frequency noise generated by the violent impact pollutes the working environment and affects the physical and mental health of operators. In the field of precision machinery, the vibration caused by the impact can also affect the machining accuracy of equipment and reduce product quality. As industrial equipment demands increasing operational stability and durability, the cushioning deficiencies of traditional hydraulic cylinders can no longer meet practical needs, thus requiring urgent improvement.

This achieves a gradual buffering effect from weak to medium to strong, gradually absorbing the inertial kinetic energy of the piston plate and preventing a violent impact between the piston plate and the cylinder bottom cover. This greatly alleviates the impact at the end of the hydraulic cylinder's return stroke, effectively reducing impact noise and extending the service life of the hydraulic cylinder to some extent.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 10 An embodiment of a hydraulic cylinder with a buffer function according to the present invention will be further described.
[0049] A hydraulic cylinder with a buffer function includes a cylinder barrel 1, a cylinder top cover 2, a cylinder bottom cover 3, and a piston plate 4. The cylinder barrel 1 is fixedly disposed between the cylinder top cover 2 and the cylinder bottom cover 3. The piston plate 4 is slidably disposed inside the cylinder barrel 1. A bushing 26 is fixedly disposed on the surface of the piston plate 4 near the cylinder top cover 2, and the axis of the bushing 26 coincides with the axis of the piston rod 5. The surface of the bushing 26 has multiple fluid passage grooves 27 penetrating the end face of the bushing 26. During operation, when the hydraulic cylinder moves, the piston plate 4 and the cylinder top cover... The hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder top cover 2 first exits the hydraulic cylinder through the column groove 6 and the first inlet / outlet 7. When one end of the bushing 26 enters the column groove 6, the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder top cover 2 enters the column groove 6 through the fluid passage groove 27 on the bushing 26 and then exits the hydraulic cylinder through the first inlet / outlet 7. It should be noted that after the bushing 26 enters the column groove 6, the flow area of the hydraulic oil decreases, which increases the oil discharge resistance between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder top cover 2, thereby buffering the end of the hydraulic cylinder's progress.
[0050] A piston rod 5 is fixedly installed on the surface of the piston plate 4 near the cylinder top cover 2, penetrating the cylinder top cover 2. The piston rod 5 is slidably connected to the cylinder top cover 2. A column groove 6 is opened on the opposite side surface of the cylinder top cover 2 and the cylinder bottom cover 3. A first inlet and outlet 7 communicating with the column groove 6 is opened on the cylinder top cover 2. A slot 8 is opened on the opposite side surface of the cylinder bottom cover 3 and the cylinder top cover 2. An annular groove 9 is opened on the surface of the slot 8 away from the piston plate 4. A limit groove 10 is opened in the annular groove 9. A plurality of evenly distributed buffer chambers are also opened on the surface of the cylinder bottom cover 3 with the slot 8. The buffer chambers are connected by a first-level buffer chamber 16, a second-level buffer chamber 17 and a third-level buffer chamber 18. The inner diameter of the first-level buffer chamber 16, the second-level buffer chamber 17 and the third-level buffer chamber 18 decreases step by step. The third-level buffer chamber 18 is connected to the slot 8 through a first connecting groove 11.
[0051] The buffer chamber has a first communicating groove 11 communicating with the slot 8. The cylinder bottom cover 3 has an adjusting groove 12 on its surface away from the cylinder top cover 2. The axis of the adjusting groove 12 coincides with the axis of the slot 8. The cylinder bottom cover 3 has a second inlet / outlet 13 communicating with the slot 8. Fasteners are provided on the cylinder bottom cover 3, including:
[0052] There are four fastening rods 14, and the two ends of the four fastening rods 14 pass through the cylinder top cover 2 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 respectively, and the ends of the fastening rods 14 are provided with threads;
[0053] Nut 15 is provided at both ends of fastening rod 14, and nut 15 is threadedly connected to the end of fastening rod 14.
[0054] A first buffer mechanism is provided on the surface of the piston plate 4 near the cylinder bottom cover 3, and the first buffer mechanism includes:
[0055] Multiple buffer bosses are evenly distributed on the surface of the piston plate 4 near the cylinder bottom cover 3, and the buffer bosses are fixedly connected to the piston plate 4. The number of buffer bosses is equal to the number of buffer chambers. The buffer bosses are formed by sequentially and fixedly connecting a primary buffer platform 20, a secondary buffer platform 21, and a tertiary buffer platform 22. The outer diameters of the primary buffer platform 20, the secondary buffer platform 21, and the tertiary buffer platform 22 are respectively adapted to the inner diameters of the primary buffer chamber 16, the secondary buffer chamber 17, and the tertiary buffer chamber 18.
[0056] The insert post 19 is fixedly disposed on the surface of the piston plate 4 near the cylinder bottom cover 3, and the axis of the insert post 19 coincides with the axis of the slot 8. A through cavity 23 is formed on the surface of the insert post 19 near the slot 8. A plurality of evenly distributed stroke grooves 24 are formed on the surface of the insert post 19 with the through cavity 23. A plurality of second connecting grooves 25 are formed on the surface of the insert post 19 to connect the stroke grooves 24 and the through cavity 23.
[0057] During operation, when the hydraulic cylinder returns, the piston plate 4 slides towards the cylinder bottom cover 3, causing the insert post 19 and buffer boss on the piston plate 4 to slide towards the cylinder bottom cover 3. This allows the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 to be discharged from the hydraulic cylinder through the buffer chamber, the first connecting groove, the slot 8, and the second inlet / outlet 13. When the third-stage buffer platform 22 enters the first-stage buffer chamber 16, the flow area of the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 entering the slot 8 through the buffer chamber decreases, thus creating a certain resistance to the return stroke of the piston plate 4. When the second-stage buffer platform 21 enters the first-stage buffer chamber 16, the flow area of the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 entering the slot 8 through the buffer chamber further decreases, thus further increasing the resistance to the return stroke of the piston plate 4.
[0058] This device incorporates a first buffer mechanism, which allows the buffer boss to gradually enter the buffer chamber during the hydraulic cylinder's return stroke. This gradually reduces the gap between the buffer boss and the buffer chamber, causing the hydraulic cylinder's oil discharge resistance to gradually increase. This achieves a gradual buffering effect from weak to medium to strong, gradually absorbing the inertial kinetic energy of the piston plate 4 and preventing a violent impact between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3. This greatly alleviates the impact at the end of the hydraulic cylinder's return stroke, effectively reducing impact noise and extending the service life of the hydraulic cylinder to some extent.
[0059] A second buffer mechanism is provided on the cylinder bottom cover 3, and the second buffer mechanism includes:
[0060] An annular plate 28 is slidably disposed within the annular groove 9;
[0061] There are multiple buffer springs 29, and the multiple buffer springs 29 are evenly distributed in the annular groove 9. The buffer springs 29 are always in a compressed state.
[0062] The buffer sleeve 30 is slidably connected to the annular groove 9, and the surface of the buffer sleeve 30 near the buffer spring 29 abuts against the buffer spring 29. An annular limiting block 31 is fixedly provided on the surface of the buffer sleeve 30, and the annular limiting block 31 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 10.
[0063] An adjusting component, disposed on the cylinder bottom cover 3, is used to adjust the initial deformation of the buffer spring 29 to buffer and adapt to the load of the hydraulic cylinder under different working conditions. The adjusting component includes:
[0064] A threaded sleeve 34 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cylinder bottom cover 3 away from the cylinder top cover 2, and the axis of the threaded sleeve 34 coincides with the axis of the adjusting groove 12.
[0065] An adjusting screw 35 is inserted into the adjusting groove 12 at one end and threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 34. A rotating rod 36, which is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 33, is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting screw 35 away from the adjusting groove 12. A push plate 37 is fixedly provided on the rotating rod 36. The push plate 37 is always in contact with the transmission plate 33. An adjusting block 38 is fixedly provided on the end of the rotating rod 36 away from the adjusting screw 35. An internal hexagonal groove 39 is provided on the adjusting block 38.
[0066] A transmission component, disposed on the cylinder bottom cover 3, cooperates with an adjusting component to adjust the initial deformation of the buffer spring 29. The transmission component includes:
[0067] Multiple transmission rods 32 are evenly distributed on the cylinder bottom cover 3, and one end of the transmission rod 32 extends into the annular groove 9 and abuts against the annular plate 28. The transmission rod 32 is slidably connected to the cylinder bottom cover 3.
[0068] The transmission plate 33 is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission rod 32 away from the cylinder top cover 2.
[0069] When the insert 19 enters the slot 8 and contacts the buffer sleeve 30 and impacts the buffer sleeve 30, the force of the insert 19 on the buffer sleeve 30 pushes the buffer sleeve 30 to slide in the annular groove 9, thereby compressing the buffer spring 29 and relieving the impact of the insert 19 on the buffer sleeve 30. Combined with the buffering effect of the first buffer mechanism, this further alleviates the impact at the end of the return stroke of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0070] The operator can also adjust the buffering effect of the hydraulic cylinder according to the actual load of the hydraulic cylinder. The specific process is as follows: The operator inserts an Allen wrench into the Allen groove 39 on the adjusting block 38, and rotates the Allen wrench to drive the adjusting block 38 to rotate. This causes the rotating rod 36, which is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 38, to rotate, and the adjusting screw 35, which is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 36, to rotate. Through the threaded transmission between the adjusting screw 35 and the threaded sleeve 34, the adjusting screw 35 moves into the adjusting groove 12, which in turn causes the rotating rod 36, which is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 35, to move towards the adjusting groove 12. This causes the push plate 37, which is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 36, to push the transmission plate 33 towards the cylinder bottom cover 3, which in turn causes the transmission rod 32, which is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 33, to push the annular plate 28 to slide in the annular groove 9. This pressurizes the buffer spring 29 in the annular groove 9, thereby changing the initial deformation of the buffer spring 29 and increasing the initial force of the buffer spring 29 on the buffer sleeve 30.
[0071] This device incorporates a second buffer mechanism, which further buffers the hydraulic cylinder, significantly reducing the impact at the end of the return stroke and extending its service life. Furthermore, the second buffer mechanism can flexibly adjust the cylinder's buffering capacity based on its actual load conditions, making the device suitable for different load conditions and thus expanding its applicability.
[0072] Working principle: During operation, when the hydraulic cylinder returns, the piston plate 4 slides towards the cylinder bottom cover 3, which in turn causes the insert 19 and buffer boss on the piston plate 4 to slide towards the cylinder bottom cover 3. This allows the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 to be discharged from the hydraulic cylinder through the buffer chamber, the first connecting groove, the slot 8, and the second inlet / outlet 13. When the third-stage buffer platform 22 enters the first-stage buffer chamber 16, the flow area of the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 entering the slot 8 through the buffer chamber decreases, thus creating a certain resistance to the return stroke of the piston plate 4. When the second-stage buffer platform 21 enters the first-stage buffer chamber 16, the flow area of the hydraulic oil between the piston plate 4 and the cylinder bottom cover 3 entering the slot 8 through the buffer chamber further decreases, thus further increasing the resistance to the return stroke of the piston plate 4.
[0073] When the insert 19 enters the slot 8 and contacts the buffer sleeve 30 and impacts the buffer sleeve 30, the force of the insert 19 on the buffer sleeve 30 pushes the buffer sleeve 30 to slide in the annular groove 9, thereby compressing the buffer spring 29 and relieving the impact of the insert 19 on the buffer sleeve 30. Combined with the buffering effect of the first buffer mechanism, this further alleviates the impact at the end of the return stroke of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0074] The operator can also adjust the buffering effect of the hydraulic cylinder according to the actual load of the hydraulic cylinder. The specific process is as follows: The operator inserts an Allen wrench into the Allen groove 39 on the adjusting block 38, and rotates the Allen wrench to drive the adjusting block 38 to rotate. This causes the rotating rod 36, which is fixedly connected to the adjusting block 38, to rotate, and the adjusting screw 35, which is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 36, to rotate. Through the threaded transmission between the adjusting screw 35 and the threaded sleeve 34, the adjusting screw 35 moves into the adjusting groove 12, which in turn causes the rotating rod 36, which is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 35, to move towards the adjusting groove 12. This causes the push plate 37, which is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 36, to push the transmission plate 33 towards the cylinder bottom cover 3, which in turn causes the transmission rod 32, which is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 33, to push the annular plate 28 to slide in the annular groove 9. This puts pressure on the buffer spring 29 in the annular groove 9, thereby changing the initial deformation of the buffer spring 29 and increasing the initial force of the buffer spring 29 on the buffer sleeve 30.
