Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of oil cylinder processing, in particular to a high-performance sealing mechanism and sealing method for a hydraulic excavator oil cylinder. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hydraulic excavator oil cylinder is the core power execution component of the excavator, which converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy through the sealing mechanism to drive the excavator working device to realize digging, pushing and pulling actions. The oil cylinder sealing mechanism is an important component of the hydraulic excavator oil cylinder, which can ensure the efficient and reliable operation of the hydraulic excavator oil cylinder.

[0003] Referring to the sealing mechanism for a hydraulic oil cylinder disclosed in the patent application with publication number CN222760031U, the elastic force exerted by the first spring on the pressure ring can ensure that the pressure ring tightly fits the connection between the cylinder body and the telescopic rod. The connection between the cylinder body and the telescopic rod is sealed by the sealing gasket, and the sealing of the connection between the cylinder body and the telescopic rod is further enhanced by the design of the first and second sealing rings, greatly increasing the sealing effect of the traditional hydraulic oil cylinder.

[0004] The sealing mechanism for the hydraulic oil cylinder in the prior art described above has the following defects in actual use:

[0005] 1) When the hydraulic oil cylinder is running, the piston continuously rubs against the inner wall of the cylinder, causing the inner wall of the cylinder to wear and the metal debris falling off to contaminate the hydraulic oil. When the piston reciprocates, the metal particles in the oil can embed or scratch the surface of the sealing ring, greatly increasing the frictional resistance. This not only accelerates the wear of the sealing ring, causing it to age prematurely, crack or damage the lip, but also damages the precise dynamic seal between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the cylinder. Ultimately, the hydraulic oil in the high-pressure chamber leaks through the sealing failure to the low-pressure chamber, forming an internal leakage channel, making it difficult to effectively establish system pressure and affecting the normal operation of the equipment;

[0006] 2) When the hydraulic oil pressure in the oil cylinder changes rapidly, pressure impact occurs, which causes the sealing ring to withstand alternating pressure loads in a very short time. The material of the sealing ring is prone to fatigue or plastic deformation and cannot fully recover to its original state, resulting in uneven contact of the sealing surface and failure to achieve effective sealing effect.

[0062] In the embodiment, the oil filter assembly 57 includes a bearing cylinder 571 which is sealingly arranged in the mounting hole, a plurality of oil inlet holes 572 are uniformly arranged on the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 571 and located in the oil passage 53, a filter hole area 575 is arranged on the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 571 and located in the inner cylinder 52, a tapered tube 573 is fixedly arranged inside the oil inlet hole 572 to prevent impurities from overflowing, and a sealing cover 574 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the bearing cylinder 571. The opening at one end of the tapered tube 573 inside the bearing cylinder 571 is much smaller than the other end, so that the impurities filtered inside the bearing cylinder 571 are difficult to overflow back through the tapered tube 573. The bearing cylinder 571 is detachably connected through the bolt and the taking and placing hole 7.

[0063] In the embodiment, the backwashing assembly comprises a long cylinder 58 fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 52, an oil pushing plate 59 is sealingly and slidably arranged in the long cylinder 58, one end of the oil pushing plate 59 is fixedly provided with a pushing rod 510, the pushing rod 510 slidably penetrates through the long cylinder 58 and is fixedly provided with a pressure bearing plate 511, a second spring 512 is slidably arranged in the long cylinder 58 and located at one side of the oil pushing plate 59, a plurality of oil inlet nozzles 513 are uniformly fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the long cylinder 58 away from the pressure bearing plate 511, a third one-way valve allowing only hydraulic oil to enter the long cylinder 58 is fixedly arranged in each oil inlet nozzle 513, a plurality of oil discharge pipes 514 are also uniformly fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the long cylinder 58 and communicate with the inside of the long cylinder 58, a connecting pipe 515 is sealingly and rotatably sleeved on the outside of the oil discharge pipe 514, a U-shaped pipe 516 communicating with the inside of the connecting pipe 515 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the connecting pipe 515, a first oil injection nozzle 517 and a second oil injection nozzle 518 having opposite oil injection directions are fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the U-shaped pipe 516.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application also provides a hydraulic excavator oil cylinder sealing method for the high-performance sealing mechanism of the hydraulic excavator oil cylinder, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0065] Step 1, when hydraulic oil enters the flow channel 6 through the first oil port 2 and enters the inner cavity of the cylinder barrel 1 through the oil filter mechanism 5 during the operation of the hydraulic excavator, the piston mechanism 4 on the side close to the oil filter mechanism 5 is moved by the hydraulic oil thrust, and the piston mechanism 4 automatically strengthens the sealing between the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 1 by the pressure of the hydraulic oil;

[0066] Step 2, when the hydraulic oil enters the inside of the cylinder barrel 1 through the second oil port 3, the outer wall of the piston mechanism 4 close to the second oil port 3 is subjected to the pressure action of the hydraulic oil, so that the piston mechanism 4 is close to the oil filter mechanism 5, and at the same time, the side wall of the piston mechanism 4 automatically strengthens the sealing between the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 1 by the pressure of the hydraulic oil;

[0067] Step 3, in the process of the piston mechanism 4 close to the oil filter mechanism 5, the hydraulic oil enters the flow channel 6 after being filtered by the oil filter mechanism 5 and is discharged through the first oil port 2, and at the same time, when the end of the piston rod 8 approaches the oil filter mechanism 5, the oil filter mechanism 5 immediately hinders the advancing speed of the piston mechanism 4, and the buffering action on the piston mechanism 4 is completed;

[0068] When the hydraulic oil is input through the first oil port 2, the hydraulic oil first enters the flow channel 6 and then enters the cylinder 1 through the oil delivery pipe 54. The piston mechanism 4 is driven by the hydraulic oil pressure to move away from the oil filter mechanism 5. At the same time, the annular pressure plate 49 on the side close to the oil filter mechanism 5 is moved to the inside of the annular pressure groove 44 under the action of the hydraulic oil pressure. When the driving rod 410 moves synchronously with the annular pressure plate 49, the two sliding blocks 415 slide along the corresponding guide grooves 413 from the lower position to the higher position, so that the height of the lifting column 414 is gradually jacked up. The top plate 416 pushes the reinforced sealing element 47 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, so as to enhance the sealing between the reinforced sealing element 47 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1. Since the top plates 416 at multiple positions act at the same time, each position of the reinforced sealing element 47 can stably contact the inner wall of the cylinder 1.

[0069] Similarly, when the hydraulic oil is input into the cylinder 1 through the second oil port 3, the annular pressure plate 49 on the side away from the first oil port 2 is pushed by the hydraulic oil pressure to push the top plates 416 at multiple positions to push the reinforced sealing element 47 to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, so as to enhance the sealing between the reinforced sealing element 47 and the cylinder 1.

[0070] When the piston mechanism 4 moves towards the first oil port 2, the hydraulic oil enters the oil passage 53 through the multiple oil return ports 55, and then enters the inside of the bearing cylinder 571 through the oil inlet 572 on the outer wall of the oil filter assembly 57. The impurities in the hydraulic oil are blocked in the inside of the bearing cylinder 571, and the clean hydraulic oil passes through the filter hole area 575 to enter the inside of the inner cylinder body 52. Then, the hydraulic oil enters the flow channel 6 through the oil discharge port 56 and is finally output through the first oil port 2.

[0071] When the piston rod 8 contacts the pressure plate 511 on one end close to the outer cylinder body 51, the pressure plate 511 is driven by the piston rod 8 to push the oil pushing plate 59 to move to the inside of the long cylinder body 58. The second spring 512 is compressed and elastically deformed. The hydraulic oil in the long cylinder body 58 enters the U-shaped pipe 516 through the oil discharge pipe 514 and the connecting pipe 515. The hydraulic oil is sprayed on the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 571 through the first oil nozzle 517 and the second oil nozzle 518 which are oppositely arranged. The impurities attached to the inner wall of the bearing cylinder 571 are separated from the filter hole under the washing action of the external hydraulic oil, and the oppositely sprayed hydraulic oil from the first oil nozzle 517 and the second oil nozzle 518 drives the U-shaped pipe 516 to continuously rotate, so that the first oil nozzle 517 and the second oil nozzle 518 continuously change around the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 571, and the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 571 is completely washed.

[0072] By dismounting the bolt between the bearing cylinder 571 and the taking and placing through hole 7, the oil filter assembly 57 can be separated from the outer cylinder 51 and the inner cylinder 52 as a whole, then the sealing cover 574 is rotated and dismounted from the bearing cylinder 571, and the impurities in the bearing cylinder 571 can be cleaned.
