Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of swing cylinders, in particular to a swing cylinder suitable for high-frequency working conditions. Background Art

[0002] For working conditions that require reciprocating swing, a swing cylinder is usually selected as the driving component. The output shaft of the swing cylinder can directly drive the load to swing back and forth. The existing swing cylinders are mainly spiral swing cylinders and gear rack swing cylinders. For some working conditions that require high-frequency reciprocating swing, these two types of swing cylinders cannot meet the use requirements. Therefore, for high-frequency working conditions, a blade swing cylinder is usually selected. However, the existing blade swing cylinder has the following disadvantages:

[0003] (1) When the swing cylinder is running, under the condition of partial load, the eccentricity of the output shaft cannot be avoided, and the wear problem of the rolling bearing cannot be ignored. After the rolling bearing is worn, it will cause unilateral metal contact between the stator and the rotor, thereby causing the gap leakage to increase and the volume ratio to decrease, which will have an adverse effect on the control.

[0004] (2) Most of the existing blade-type swing cylinders use packing seals. In high-frequency reciprocating swing, the seal material wears quickly and the product life is short. High-frequency operation causes the temperature of the swing cylinder to rise, which easily causes the seal to age and cannot meet the fatigue test conditions. The packing seal will generate a large friction resistance when the swing cylinder is working. This friction resistance is a multi-value nonlinear load and has a great impact on the performance of the swing cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the swing cylinder suitable for high-frequency working conditions of the utility model comprises: a cylinder body 1, a front cover 2, a rear cover 3 and an output shaft 4. The front cover 2 and the rear cover 3 are respectively connected to the front end and the rear end of the cylinder body 1. The output shaft 4 is installed in the cylinder body 1, and the front and rear ends of the output shaft 4 respectively penetrate the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. Among them, a static pressure oil inlet port 101 and a static pressure oil return port 102 are provided on the cylinder body 1, and a static pressure oil inlet channel and a static pressure oil return channel are provided on the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. The static pressure oil inlet channel is connected to the static pressure oil inlet port 101, and the static pressure oil return channel is connected to the static pressure oil return port 102.

[0030] After the hydraulic oil is introduced into the static pressure oil inlet port 101, the hydraulic oil can flow into the space between the front end cover 2 and the cylinder body 1, between the rear end cover 3 and the cylinder body 1, between the front end cover 2 and the output shaft 4, and between the rear end cover 3 and the output shaft 4 through the static pressure oil inlet channel, so that a stable oil film is formed between the mating surfaces of the front end cover 2, the rear end cover 3 and the cylinder body 1, and a stable oil film is formed between the mating surfaces of the front end cover 2, the rear end cover 3 and the output shaft 4, and the oil film acts as a static pressure bearing. In this way, when the output shaft 4 rotates, the output shaft 4 is equivalent to a "floating" state, and there is no friction between the front and rear end covers and the output shaft 4, and the axial force and radial force can be withstood.

[0031] Specifically, the static oil inlet passage includes: a first oil inlet branch channel 131, a second oil inlet branch channel 132 and a third oil inlet branch channel 133. The first oil inlet branch channel 131 and the third oil inlet branch channel 133 are both arranged along the axial direction of the output shaft 4, and the second oil inlet branch channel 132 is arranged along the radial direction of the output shaft 4.

The static pressure oil return channel includes: a first oil return branch channel 141, a second oil return branch channel 142 and a third oil return branch channel 143. The second oil return branch channel 142 is arranged along the axial direction of the output shaft 4.

The second oil return branch channel 142 is connected to the static pressure oil return port 102, the second oil return branch channel 142 is connected to the first oil return branch channel 141, and the third oil return branch channel 143 is connected to the second oil return branch channel 142.

[0032] Specifically, a thrust static pressure chamber 5 is provided at one end of the front end cover 2 and the rear end cover 3 near the cylinder body 1, and the thrust static pressure chamber 5 is connected to the static pressure oil inlet channel. A thrust oil return chamber 7 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the front end cover 2 and the rear end cover 3, and the thrust oil return chamber 7 is connected to the static pressure oil return channel. For example, the thrust static pressure chamber 5 is connected to the third oil inlet branch 133, and the thrust oil return chamber 7 is connected to the first oil return branch 141. A centripetal static pressure chamber 6 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the front end cover 2 and the rear end cover 3, and the centripetal static pressure chamber 6 is connected to the static pressure oil inlet channel. A centripetal oil return chamber 8 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the front end cover 2 and the rear end cover 3, and the centripetal oil return chamber 8 is connected to the static pressure oil return channel. For example, the centripetal static pressure chamber 6 is connected to the second oil inlet branch 132, and the centripetal oil return chamber 8 is connected to the third oil return branch 143.

[0033] When hydraulic oil is introduced into the static pressure oil inlet port 101, the hydraulic oil enters the centripetal static pressure chamber 6 through the first oil inlet branch channel 131 and the second oil inlet branch channel 132. The hydraulic oil in the centripetal static pressure chamber 6 can enter the centripetal oil return chamber 8 through the gap, and then flow to the static pressure oil return port 102 through the third oil return branch channel 143 and the second oil return branch channel 142, thereby forming a stable oil film between the output shaft 4 and the inner walls of the front and rear end covers.

[0034] When hydraulic oil is introduced into the static pressure oil inlet port 101, the hydraulic oil enters the thrust static pressure chamber 5 through the first oil inlet branch channel 131, the second oil inlet branch channel 132, and the third oil inlet branch channel 133. The hydraulic oil in the thrust static pressure chamber 5 can enter the thrust oil return chamber 7 through the gap, and then flow to the static pressure oil return port 102 through the first oil return branch channel 141 and the second oil return branch channel 142, thereby forming a stable oil film between the output shaft 4 and the end faces of the front and rear end covers.

[0035] Specifically, the output shaft 4 is provided with a first blade 401 and a second blade 402, which are centrally symmetrically arranged, and the output shaft 4 is provided with a first channel 403 and a second channel 404. The inner peripheral wall of the cylinder body 1 is provided with a first step portion 103 and a second step portion 104, which are arranged opposite to each other, wherein a first cavity 9 is formed between the first blade 401 and the first step portion 103, a second cavity 10 is formed between the first blade 401 and the second step portion 104, a third cavity 11 is formed between the second blade 402 and the second step portion 104, and a fourth cavity 12 is formed between the second blade 402 and the first step portion 103. The two ends of the first channel 403 are respectively connected to the first cavity 9 and the third cavity 11, and the two ends of the second channel 404 are respectively connected to the second cavity 10 and the fourth cavity 12. A forward oil passage 105 and a reverse oil passage 106 are provided on the cylinder body 1 . The forward oil passage 105 is communicated with the first chamber 9 , and the reverse oil passage 106 is communicated with the fourth chamber 12 .

[0036] When hydraulic oil is introduced into the forward oil passage 105, the hydraulic oil enters the first chamber 9 and enters the third chamber 11 through the first passage 403, thereby the hydraulic oil can push the first blade 401 and the second blade 402 to rotate clockwise. When hydraulic oil is introduced into the reverse oil passage 106, the hydraulic oil enters the fourth chamber 12 and enters the second chamber 10 through the second passage 404, thereby the hydraulic oil can push the first blade 401 and the second blade 402 to rotate counterclockwise.

[0037] It should be noted that a gap seal is formed between the end face of the front end cover 2 and the end face of the cylinder body 1, a gap seal is formed between the end face of the rear end cover 3 and the end face of the cylinder body 1, and a gap seal is formed between the first blade 401 and the second blade 402 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 1. The gap size of the gap seal is 0.03mm to 0.05mm. That is to say, in this embodiment, the front and rear end covers and the end face of the cylinder body 1, as well as the two blades and the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 are not sealed by a sealing ring, but a gap seal is formed by designing the gap size. Under high-frequency (e.g., 50Hz, 100Hz) swinging conditions, the hydraulic oil in the first chamber 9, the second chamber 10, the third chamber 11, and the fourth chamber 12 will not leak through such a small gap. Through the gap seal, not only can the problem of easy wear of the sealing ring be improved, but also the friction force when the output shaft 4 rotates can be reduced, thereby improving the swing performance.

[0038] In addition, a U-shaped retaining ring 13 and a dust ring 14 are embedded on the inner walls of the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. The U-shaped retaining ring 13 is used to prevent the hydraulic oil inside the swing cylinder from leaking to the outside, and the dust ring 14 is used to prevent external dust from entering the swing cylinder. A flat key 15 is also provided on the output shaft 4 to facilitate connection with the load.

[0039] In summary, the utility model is suitable for the swing cylinder of high-frequency working conditions. After the hydraulic oil is introduced into the static pressure oil inlet port 101, the hydraulic oil can flow into the space between the front end cover 2 and the cylinder body 1, between the rear end cover 3 and the cylinder body 1, between the front end cover 2 and the output shaft 4, and between the rear end cover 3 and the output shaft 4 through the static pressure oil inlet channel, so that a stable oil film is formed between the mating surfaces of the front end cover 2, the rear end cover 3 and the cylinder body 1, and a stable oil film is formed between the mating surfaces of the front end cover 2, the rear end cover 3 and the output shaft 4, and the oil film acts as a static pressure bearing. In this way, when the output shaft 4 rotates, the output shaft 4 is equivalent to a "floating" state, and there is no friction between the front and rear end covers and the output shaft 4, and the axial force and radial force can be borne. By means of gap sealing, not only can the problem of easy wear of the sealing ring be improved, but also the friction when the output shaft 4 rotates can be reduced, and the swing performance can be improved. The swing cylinder of the utility model is suitable for use under high-frequency swing conditions.
