[0002] The rack and pinion swing hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator, which is mainly used in working occasions to realize reciprocating swing, indexing or intermittent motion. Its basic working principle is that the high-pressure liquid generated by the hydraulic cylinder pushes the piston rod to reciprocate, and the rack on the piston rod meshes with the gear, thereby driving the gear to rotate. The rotation of the gear is transmitted to the working part through the transmission mechanism to complete the required action;

[0003] During use, depending on the working scenario, sometimes the gear swings at a larger angle and the rack stroke is longer, requiring a longer cylinder, while sometimes the gear only needs to swing at a smaller angle and only a shorter cylinder is required. However, the cylinder lengths of some swing hydraulic cylinders on the market are fixed and cannot be adjusted, so their use is subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, an adjustable gear rack swing hydraulic cylinder is proposed. Utility Model Content
