Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oil cylinders, in particular to a propulsion oil cylinder with a fixed piston rod direction. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of shield machines and TBM equipment, the forward movement is achieved by the thrust cylinder acting on the segments, which in turn pushes the shield machines and TBM equipment forward. Since the cylinder barrel, piston, piston rod, and guide sleeve of the thrust cylinder are all circular and the direction cannot be controlled, the piston rod will rotate when it is extended and retracted during the advancement process, which will cause the position of the support device for pushing the segment to deflect, and it will not fit well with the end face of the segment, resulting in poor force, easy damage to the segment, and may also touch the inner wall of the equipment shell and cause interference.
[0003] In order to correct the deflection, some construction workers manually correct it on site, some connect two oil cylinders side by side, and some install support legs on the top support device. However, the manual correction by construction workers on site will increase the labor intensity of workers and reduce the advancement speed of construction; connecting two oil cylinders side by side cannot solve the problem of piston rod rotation of a single oil cylinder; installing support legs on the top support device makes it difficult to control the support strength and gap, and cannot completely solve the problem of piston rod rotation of the oil cylinder.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0017] The utility model realizes the piston movement of the piston assembly through the oil return mechanism. When oil is fed into the oil inlet, the oil enters the rodless cavity at the rear of the piston pad for filling. When the oil return port returns the oil, the piston rod extends toward the front end of the shell tube. When oil is fed into the oil return port, the oil enters the hollow cavity for filling. When the oil return port returns the oil, the piston rod contracts toward the end of the shell tube, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the piston rod. When the piston rod is telescoped, the guide wheel rolls back and forth in the middle, so that the direction of the piston rod is fixed and rotation will not occur. Moreover, when the guide wheel rolls, it is not continuous direct friction between surfaces, but rolling friction, so the resistance is very small, and the telescopic movement of the piston rod will not be restricted, and the friction damage to the piston rod can also be reduced.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model:
[0037] During operation, the piston movement of the piston assembly 300 is realized by the oil return mechanism 600. When oil is introduced into the oil inlet 102, the oil enters the rodless cavity at the rear of the piston pad 302 for filling. When the oil return port 603 returns the oil, the piston rod 301 extends toward the front end of the shell tube 101. When oil is introduced into the oil return port 603, the oil enters the hollow cavity 303 for filling. When the oil return port 102 returns the oil, the piston rod 301 contracts toward the end of the shell tube 101, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the piston rod 301. When the piston rod 301 is telescoped, the guide wheel 702 rolls back and forth in the slide rail 305, so that the direction of the piston rod 301 is fixed and no rotation occurs. When the guide wheel 702 rolls in the slide rail 305, it is not a continuous direct friction between the surfaces, but a rolling friction. Therefore, the resistance is very small, and the telescopic movement of the piston rod 301 will not be restricted, and the friction damage to the piston rod 301 can also be reduced.
