When hydraulic oil drives a movable switch and a fixed switch to be energized, the first magnet, the second magnet, and the third magnet are magnetically connected. This causes the second magnet and the third magnet to compress the hydraulic oil, which in turn applies radial outward pressure to the sealing ring, greatly improving the sealing performance between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the cylinder body.

A locking assembly is disposed along the movement path of the movable switch. A switching assembly is disposed within the cylinder body. The pressure application assembly is used to energize the movable switch while the oil inlet assembly drives the hydraulic oil into the oil chamber, causing the first and second magnets to become magnetically connected and apply radially outward pressure to the sealing ring.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a military composite carbon fiber hydraulic cylinder includes a cylinder body 1, a piston 2 that is slidably disposed within the cylinder body 1, and a sealing ring 4 disposed on the piston 2. The piston 2 is provided with an oil inlet assembly 5, a pressure application assembly 6 driven by the oil inlet assembly 5, and an opening / closing assembly 7. The oil inlet assembly 5 includes an oil chamber 51 located below the sealing ring 4. The pressure application assembly 6 includes a movable switch 61, a first magnet 62, and a second magnet 63. A locking assembly 8 is disposed along the movement path of the movable switch 61. A switching assembly 9 is disposed within the cylinder body 1. The pressure application assembly 6 is used to apply pressure to the sealing ring 4 by energizing the movable switch 61 simultaneously with the hydraulic oil entering the oil chamber 51 driven by the oil inlet assembly 5, thereby energizing the first magnet 62 and the second magnet 63. The opening / closing assembly 7 is used to switch the oil inlet state of the oil inlet assembly 5, and the switching assembly 9 is used to switch the energized state of the first magnet 62 and the second magnet 63.
[0033] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 7As shown, the oil inlet assembly 5 also includes several oil inlet holes 52 opened on the piston 2, a rotating plate 53 rotatably disposed in the piston 2, and several connecting holes 54 opened on the rotating plate 53. The oil inlet holes 52 are connected to the oil chamber 51, and the oil inlet holes 52 and the connecting holes 54 are matched. The initial state of the connecting holes 54 is connected to the oil inlet holes 52. When oil is introduced into the oil inlet on the cylinder body 1, the hydraulic oil flows from the oil inlet holes 52 into the oil chamber 51, and the hydraulic oil fills the space between the second magnet 63 and the oil chamber 51.
[0034] It needs to be emphasized that, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the pressure application assembly 6 also includes a receiving groove 64 located in the middle of the piston 2, a fixed switch 65 fixedly disposed within the receiving groove 64, a third magnet 66 slidably disposed within the oil chamber 51, and an oil passage 67 disposed between the oil chamber 51 and the receiving groove 64. A first magnet 62 is fixedly disposed within the piston 2, and a second magnet 63 is slidably disposed within the oil chamber 51. The second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 are in sliding engagement. The fixed switch 65 is electrically connected to a movable switch 61, and the movable switch 61 is electrically connected to the first magnet 62. The first magnet 62 is magnetically connected to the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66. Both the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 are magnetically attracted to the first magnet. Therefore... The second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 are initially in a retracted state, and the movable switch 61 is not in contact with the fixed switch 65. During use, after the hydraulic oil fills the space between the second magnet 63, the third magnet 66 and the oil chamber 51, the hydraulic oil flows into the receiving groove 64 through the oil passage 67. The hydraulic oil pushes the movable switch 61 to move. After the movable switch 61 contacts the fixed switch 65, it is energized, so that the first magnet 62 is magnetically connected to the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66, achieving the effect of opposite repulsion. The second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 unfold outward, squeezing the hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil applies radial outward pressure to the sealing ring, improving the sealing performance between the sealing ring 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 1.
[0035] It should be further explained that, such as Figure 8As shown, the opening and closing assembly 7 includes a turntable 71 rotatably disposed within the piston 2, several arc-shaped grooves 72 formed on the turntable 71, a movable rod 73 slidably disposed within the piston 2, a slide rod 74 fixedly disposed on the movable rod 73, a limiting plate 75 fixedly disposed on the slide rod 74, a first inclined surface 76 formed on the movable rod 73, a moving rod 77 fixedly disposed on the movable switch 61, and a second inclined surface 78 formed on the moving rod 77. The slide rod 74 cooperates with the arc-shaped grooves 72, the limiting plate 75 cooperates with the turntable 71, the first inclined surface 76 cooperates with the second inclined surface 78, and the movable rod 73 cooperates with the piston 2. A spring is installed between the turntable 71 and the rotating plate 53. In use, when the movable switch 61 moves and contacts the fixed switch 65, the movable switch 61 drives the movable rod 77 to move synchronously. The movable rod 77 pushes the movable rod 73 to slide through the cooperation of the second inclined surface 78 and the first inclined surface 76. The movable rod 73 drives the turntable 71 and the rotating plate 53 to rotate through the sliding rod 74. The rotating plate 53 causes the connecting hole 54 to be misaligned with the oil inlet hole 52, thus sealing the oil inlet hole 52. This prevents the hydraulic oil from flowing out of the oil chamber 51 when the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 squeeze the hydraulic oil.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking assembly 8 includes several through slots 81 formed on the receiving groove 64, a locking block 82 slidably disposed in the through slots 81, and a third inclined surface 83 formed on the locking block 82. A spring is provided between the locking block 82 and the through slots 81. The locking block 82 is provided with an arc surface and cooperates with the movable switch 61. In the initial state, the locking block 82 is located below the movable switch 61 and locks the movable switch 61. In use, when the hydraulic oil pushes the movable switch 61 to move and contact the fixed switch 65, the movable switch 61 pushes the locking block 82 to move into the through slots 81. After the movable switch 61 contacts the fixed switch 65, the locking block 82 slides out from the through slots 81 and relocks the movable switch 61.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the switching component 9 includes a push groove 91 formed on the through groove 81, a push rod 92 fixedly set in the cylinder body 1, and a fourth inclined surface 93 formed on the push rod 92. The fourth inclined surface 93 cooperates with the third inclined surface 83. In use, when the cylinder body 1 is not in use, the piston 2 moves to the end of the cylinder body 1, and the push rod 92 is inserted into the push groove 91. Through the cooperation of the fourth inclined surface 93 and the third inclined surface 83, the locking block 82 slides into the through groove 81, unlocking the lock on the movable switch 61. The movable switch 61 is reset under the action of the spring and disengages from the fixed switch 65. Then the locking block 82 slides out of the through groove 81 and locks the movable switch 61 again. After the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 are no longer magnetic, the pressure applied to the hydraulic oil is canceled, improving the service life of the sealing ring 4.
[0038] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the piston 2 has several oil outlet grooves 10 and the oil outlet grooves 10 are connected to the push groove 91. When the push rod 92 is inserted into the push groove 91, the hydraulic oil will flow out from the oil outlet grooves 10.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, the push rod 92 and the push groove 91 are fitted together and there is a gap between them, so that the hydraulic oil in the push groove 91 can flow out from the push groove 91.
[0040] Work process
[0041] When hydraulic oil enters through the oil inlet on the cylinder body 1, it flows from the inlet hole 52 into the oil chamber 51, filling the space between the second magnet 63 and the oil chamber 51. The hydraulic oil then flows through the oil passage 67 into the receiving groove 64. This hydraulic oil pushes the movable switch 61 to move. Simultaneously, the movable switch 61 contacts the fixed switch 65 and energizes it, causing the movable rod 77 to move synchronously. The movable rod 77, through the cooperation of the second inclined surface 78 and the first inclined surface 76, pushes the movable rod 73 to slide. The movable rod 73, through the sliding rod 74, drives the turntable 71 and the rotating plate 53 to rotate. The rotating plate 53 causes the connecting hole 54 to be misaligned with the oil inlet hole 52, thus sealing the oil inlet hole 52. The first magnet 62 is then energized with the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66. The second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 extend outwards, squeezing the hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil applies radial outward pressure to the sealing ring, improving the sealing performance between the sealing ring 4 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 1. When the cylinder body 1 is not in use, the piston 2 moves to the end of the cylinder body 1, and the push rod 92 is inserted into the push groove 91. Through the cooperation of the fourth inclined surface 93 and the third inclined surface 83, the locking block 82 slides into the through groove 81, unlocking the lock on the movable switch 61. The movable switch 61 resets under the action of the spring and disengages from the fixed switch 65. Then, the locking block 82 slides out of the through groove 81 and relocks the movable switch 61. After the second magnet 63 and the third magnet 66 are no longer magnetized, the pressure applied to the hydraulic oil is removed, improving the service life of the sealing ring 4.
