[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this application or its application or use.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses an embodiment of a spraying cylinder, which includes a cylinder assembly 4, a piston 5, and a nozzle 7. The piston 5 is movably disposed inside the cylinder assembly 4, and one end of the piston 5 is connected to the cylinder assembly 4 through an elastic element. The nozzle 7 is fixed at the end of the cylinder assembly 4 away from the elastic element, and a first piston rod 30 is provided between the nozzle 7 and the piston to fix the piston 5. The cylinder assembly 4 is externally connected to a hydraulic oil circuit, and the oil pressure on both sides of the piston 5 is adjusted to drive the position of the first piston rod 30 to switch, thereby realizing the switching of the size of the nozzle 7 opening.

[0020] In use, the hydraulic circuit supplies oil to both sides of the piston 5, adjusts the pressure of the piston 5, and completes the movement of the piston 5. Ultimately, the first piston rod 30 moves to change the size of the nozzle 7 opening, thereby adjusting the spray volume. As the deformation of the elastic element changes, its potential energy gradually changes, and the pressure on the first piston rod 30 side of the cylinder assembly 4 needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0021] In some embodiments, a spray cylinder is specifically designed such that the spray volume of the nozzle 7 in the spray cylinder can be adjusted, avoiding the drawback of traditional nozzles 7 only being able to open and close, which affects the uniformity of spraying.

[0022] Continue to observe the appendix Figure 1In this embodiment, the piston 5 divides the cylinder assembly 4 into a first cavity 41 and a second cavity 42. The first piston rod 30 is arranged in the first cavity 41, and the elastic element is installed in the second cavity 42. The second cavity 42 is also provided with a second piston rod 3, which passes through the cylinder assembly 4. An end cap 1 is fixed at the tail of the cylinder assembly 4, and part of the second piston rod 3 is placed in the end cap 1. The second piston rod 3 is fixedly connected to the piston 5. The elastic element here is a spring 2, which is sleeved on the second piston rod 3 and connected at both ends to the cylinder assembly 4 and the rod body of the second piston rod 3, respectively. In order to facilitate the directional movement of the first piston rod 30, a guide sleeve 6 is radially installed in the first cavity 41 of the cylinder assembly 4. The first piston rod 30 is connected to the guide sleeve 6 with clearance fit, but it is necessary to ensure that hydraulic oil does not leak out of the first cavity 41 during installation.

[0023] In this embodiment, the nozzle 7 is fixed at the end of the cylinder assembly 4 away from the end cover 1. The nozzle 7 is fixedly installed together with the guide sleeve 6 and the cylinder assembly 4. The nozzle 7 has a medium inlet 10 on its side. The spraying medium is transported into the nozzle 7 through this inlet and sprayed out from the medium outlet 11 at the end of the nozzle 7. During use, the external medium has a certain pressure during transmission, which allows the medium to flow. Under normal circumstances, the medium can be water, mortar, asphalt, etc. It should be noted that when the medium is a material that is easy to adhere to and solidify, such as mortar or asphalt, the residual mortar or asphalt on the nozzle 7 can be removed by fully extending the first piston rod 30 to ensure the normal use of the nozzle 7.

[0024] In a further embodiment, the first piston rod 30, the piston 5, and the second piston rod 3 are coaxially arranged, which facilitates the movement of the piston 5 and minimizes the occurrence of bias stress.

[0025] In this embodiment, the oil ports on the cylinder assembly 4 are arranged. The cylinder assembly 4 is provided with a cylinder bottom oil port 8 and a piston rod oil port 9. The cylinder bottom oil port 8 is connected to the second cavity 42, and the piston rod oil port 9 is connected to the first cavity 41. In use, the cylinder bottom oil port 8 and the piston rod oil port 9 are connected to the external oil circuit.

[0026] This application provides another embodiment, which discloses a control system that includes the spray cylinder, drive module and controller in the above embodiment; The controller is configured to adjust the oil pressure in the chambers on both sides of the piston 5 according to the drive module, switch the position of the first piston rod 30, and control the size adjustment of the nozzle 7 opening. As attached Figure 1 and 2As shown, in this embodiment, the drive module includes a pressure reducing valve 12 and a proportional valve 13 connected together. The P port of the pressure reducing valve 12 is connected to the P port of the proportional valve 13, the T port of the pressure reducing valve 12 is connected to the T port of the proportional valve 13, the A port of the pressure reducing valve 12 is connected to the bottom oil port 8 of the spray cylinder, the A port of the proportional valve 13 is connected to the piston rod oil port 9 of the spray cylinder, the P port of the pressure reducing valve 12 is connected to the oil outlet of the power source, and the T port of the pressure reducing valve 12 is connected to the oil return port of the oil tank.

[0027] When using, During spraying operations, the controller inputs pressurized oil through the P port of the pressure reducing valve 12, and then through the A port of the pressure reducing valve 12 to input pressurized oil with a fixed pressure value to the bottom port 8 of the spraying cylinder. At the same time, pressurized oil enters through the P port of the proportional valve 13, and through the A port of the proportional valve 13, inputs continuously varying pressure oil to the piston rod port 9 of the spraying cylinder.

[0028] When the pressure value of the oil in the first chamber 41 is less than the pressure value of the oil in the second chamber 42, the piston rod in the nozzle 7 of the spray cylinder can extend out of the nozzle 7 to clean the nozzle 7.

[0029] When the pressure value of the oil in the first chamber 41 is equal to the pressure value of the oil in the second chamber 42, the nozzle 7 of the spray cylinder returns to the closed state.

[0030] When the pressure of the oil in the first chamber 41 is greater than that in the second chamber 42, the first piston rod 30 gradually retracts into the cylinder, the nozzle 7 gradually opens, and the input medium is sprayed out. During the process, the output pressure value of the proportional valve 13 can be controlled to set the amount of medium sprayed by the nozzle 7, thereby achieving precise control of the spraying volume.

[0031] This application also provides an embodiment relating to engineering equipment that includes the control system described in the above embodiment.
