[0037] The cylinder barrel and the connecting cover are both provided with mutually connected air inlet and outlet ports, and the air inlet and outlet ports are located in front of the upper ends of the front piston and the locking piston;

[0038] The jacket has a conical outer wall, the locking sleeve has a conical inner wall, the outer wall width of the jacket close to the front cover is smaller than the outer wall width of the jacket close to the rear cover, and the inner wall width of the locking sleeve close to the front cover is larger than the inner wall width of the locking sleeve close to the rear cover.

[0039] Wherein, a steel wire retaining ring for the shaft is arranged on the outer surface of the front end of the support rod close to the front cover.

[0040] Among them, the inner wall of the connecting cover is a raised block, which is used to isolate the front piston from the locking piston; a sealing ring is provided between the raised block and the locking piston.

[0041] Wherein, a sealing ring is provided between the top of the front piston and the connecting cover, and the sealing ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting cover.

[0043] Wherein, a sealing ring is arranged between the front piston and the support rod.

[0045] Wherein, a sealing ring is arranged between the connecting cover and the front cover.

[0046] Working principle:

[0047] The double-boost pneumatic support cylinder is mainly composed of a cylinder body (including a front cover, a connecting cover, a cylinder barrel and a rear cover), a support rod, a jacket, a locking sleeve, a locking piston and a front piston. A closed space is formed inside the cylinder body. The support rod passes through the front cover and is connected to the rear cover through a first spring, which plays a supporting and resetting role. The jacket and the outer surface of the support rod are in clearance, and the locking sleeve is slidably connected to the outer surface of the jacket through a steel ball, forming an adjustable locking mechanism.

[0048] When gas is introduced into the gas inlet and outlet, the gas first pushes the front piston upward. Since the front piston is in contact with the front end of the locking piston, the upward movement of the front piston will push the locking piston upward as well. As the locking piston rises, the locking sleeve is subjected to an upward pulling force, so that the gap between the tapered outer wall of the jacket and the tapered inner wall of the locking sleeve gradually decreases. When the gap is small enough, the inner wall of the locking sleeve tightly hugs the outer wall of the jacket, thereby realizing the locking function of the support rod. At this time, since the support rod is fixed, the entire support cylinder can provide a stable supporting force.

[0049] When the support rod needs to be released, it is only necessary to stop ventilating or releasing gas to the air inlet and outlet. The front piston starts to move downward under the action of the reduction or disappearance of the gas pressure above and the tension of the first spring. The downward movement of the front piston drives the locking piston to move downward as well. The tension on the locking sleeve is reduced, and the gap between the jacket and the locking sleeve is increased. The locking sleeve no longer tightly holds the jacket, and the support rod is thus released.

[0050] During the entire working process, the sealing rings between the components ensure the gas tightness and prevent gas leakage. The raised block on the inner wall of the connecting cover not only isolates the front piston and the locking piston, but also plays a role in strengthening support and positioning. The threaded design at the connection between the jacket and the support rod provides additional locking or adjustment possibilities. In addition, the steel wire retaining ring for the shaft ensures that the support rod will not completely fall out of the front cover, increasing the safety and reliability of the device.

[0051] In summary, the double-boost pneumatic support cylinder drives the movement of the front piston and the locking piston through the change of air pressure, thereby controlling the locking and releasing between the locking sleeve and the clamping sleeve, thereby realizing the fixing and loosening functions of the support rod.

[0052] The utility model uses air pressure control to enable the support cylinder to quickly lock and release the support rod, thereby providing a stable and adjustable supporting force in various applications. The internal design is excellent, and the cooperation of the conical sleeve and the locking sleeve as well as the elasticity of the spring are utilized to ensure the stability of locking and the smoothness of releasing. At the same time, the sealing ring between the components effectively prevents gas leakage, thereby ensuring the sealing and durability of the support cylinder. In addition, the threaded design at the connection between the sleeve and the support rod provides additional locking or adjustment possibilities, further enhancing the practicality and adaptability of the support cylinder. The entire support cylinder has a compact structure and simple operation, and can complete the fixing and loosening of the support rod in a short time, thereby greatly improving work efficiency and safety. Whether in industrial production lines, automation equipment or other occasions requiring stable support, the double-boosted pneumatic support cylinder can exert its excellent performance and reliability, and provide strong support for work.

This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should be aware that the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
