[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides an embodiment: an overpressure prevention structure of a nitrogen spring, comprising a cylinder body 1, a bushing 2 is arranged at the top of the cylinder body 1, and a piston rod 3 is passed through the bushing 2, the bottom end of the piston rod 3 extends to the inside of the cylinder body 1, a cross pressure plate 13 is welded to the bottom end of the piston rod 3, and a buffer ring 5 is evenly installed at the bottom end of the inner wall of the cylinder body 1 below the piston rod 3;

[0023] The buffer ring 5 is provided with 3 piston rods, and the buffer rings 5 ​​are distributed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1. The inner diameter of the buffer ring 5 gradually increases from top to bottom, and the inner diameter of the buffer ring 5 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the piston rod 3;

[0024] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, when in use, the buffer ring 5 is used to provide a certain buffering effect on the falling of the piston rod 3, so as to slow down the falling speed of the piston rod 3 and reduce its falling impact, so as to prevent the internal gas of the cylinder body 1 from being compressed too quickly and causing expansion;

[0025] A plurality of buffer rings 5 ​​are provided, an air charging channel 10 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 1, and an air charging valve 9 is provided inside the air charging channel 10, L-shaped pressure relief channels 7 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cylinder body 1, and pressure relief plates 8 are installed at the top of the L-shaped pressure relief channels 7;

[0026] One side of the pressure relief plate 8 forms a flip structure with the L-shaped pressure relief channel 7 through a connecting shaft, and a sealing sleeve is provided on the outside of the pressure relief plate 8 to increase the sealing between the pressure relief plate 8 and the L-shaped pressure relief channel 7. The magnet 12 is located on the side of the bottom end of the pressure relief plate 8 away from the connecting shaft;

[0027] The inner wall of the L-shaped pressure relief channel 7 below the pressure relief plate 8 is installed with a magnet 12, and the top of the magnet 12 and the bottom of the pressure relief plate 8 are attracted and fit each other. The top of the cylinder body 1 is provided with a pressure relief start mechanism 6, so that when the piston rod 3 is over-pressured downward, the pressure relief plate 8 can be driven to flip, thereby releasing pressure;

[0028] The pressure relief start mechanism 6 includes support plates 601 installed on both sides of the bottom end of the cylinder body 1, and the tops of the two support plates 601 are connected to support rings 602, the tops of the support rings 602 are installed with balls 603, and the tops of both sides of the balls 603 are installed with pull ropes 604, and one end of the pull rope 604 is connected to one side of the top of the pressure relief plate 8;

[0029] The inner diameter of the support ring 602 decreases from top to bottom, the diameter of the ball 603 is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the support ring 602, and the pull rope 604 is located on the top of the pressure relief plate 8 near the magnet 12;

[0030] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when in use, the support ring 602 is used to pre-fix the position of the ball 603 to ensure that the pull rope 604 is in a taut state. When the piston rod 3 falls to the pre-overpressure distance, it squeezes the ball 603 downward to adjust the position of the ball 603, so that it generates a pulling force on the pull rope 604, and then the pull rope 604 pulls the pressure relief plate 8 to flip upward, so as to discharge the multi-pressure gas outward and reduce the pressure;

[0031] The top ends of both sides of the cylinder body 1 are provided with limited locking mechanisms 4;

[0032] The limit locking mechanism 4 includes a flip plate 401 installed at the top of one side of the cylinder body 1, and a spring 404 is installed at the top of the flip plate 401 close to the piston rod 3, and one end of the spring 404 is connected to the outer wall of the cylinder body 1, and a pressure plate 402 is installed on one side of the flip plate 401 above the spring 404, and a roller 403 is installed on the top of the pressure plate 402 close to the piston rod 3, and one side of the roller 403 is against the outer wall of the piston rod 3;

[0033] The included angle between the flip plate 401 and the pressing plate 402 is an obtuse angle, and the spring 404 generates an inward pulling force on the flip plate 401 to ensure that the roller 403 always presses against the outer wall of the piston rod 3;

[0034] A locking groove 11 is correspondingly provided on the outer side of the piston rod 3 on one side of the limit locking mechanism 4, and a flexible locking ring 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the piston rod 3 above the locking groove 11. The limit locking mechanism 4 is used to limit the maximum compression distance of the piston rod 3 to further avoid overpressure of the piston rod 3.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, when in use, the elastic effect of the spring 404 is utilized to make the roller 403 always abut against the outer wall of the piston rod 3, and cooperate with the locking groove 11 and the flexible locking ring 14 to further limit the falling distance of the piston rod 3, so as to further prevent it from being over-pressurized and causing the cylinder body 1 to burst.

[0036] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, first, when the piston rod 3 is moved downward by pressure, the bottom end of the piston rod 3 first contacts the uppermost buffer ring 5 as it falls. Since the inner diameter of the buffer ring 5 is smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom end of the piston rod 3, and since the buffer ring 5 is made of a flexible material, a certain buffering effect is then exerted on the downward pressure of the piston rod 3, so as to reduce the downward pressure speed of the piston rod 3, so as to avoid the piston rod 3 from being pressed down too quickly, and reduce the excessive compression of the gas inside the cylinder body 1;

[0037] Secondly, when the piston rod 3 is pressed down to a certain extent, it drives the cross pressure plate 13 to contact the top of the ball 603, and uses the downward pressure to make the cross pressure plate 13 penetrate the inside of the support ring 602, so that the top of the ball 603 moves to the bottom of the support ring 602, and then the ball 603 drives the pull rope 604 to produce a certain inward pull, so that the other end of the pull rope 604 pulls the pressure relief plate 8 to flip upward, so that the bottom end of the pressure relief plate 8 and the top of the magnet 12 are separated from each other, so that the L-shaped pressure relief channel 7 is connected with the inside of the cylinder body 1, so as to produce a self-draining effect on the compressed gas inside the cylinder body 1 when it is about to be over-pressurized, so as to help reduce the pressure inside the cylinder body 1 and prevent the cylinder body 1 from bursting;

[0038] Finally, during the downward pressing process of the piston rod 3, due to the elastic effect of the spring 404, the top of the flip plate 401 is pulled closer to the piston rod 3, and then the roller 403 is always in contact with the outer wall of the piston rod 3. When the cylinder body 1 is in the process of depressurization, the roller 403 is just stuck into the inside of the locking groove 11, and the flexible locking ring 14 is used to prevent the pressure plate 402 from continuing to move along the outer wall of the piston rod 3, thereby avoiding further downward pressing of the piston rod 3, preventing the piston rod 3 from exceeding the preset stroke and causing damage to the cylinder body 1, thereby improving the protection of the cylinder body 1.
