It is hereby declared that the orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, rear, inner, and outer that appear or will appear in the text of the present utility model are only based on the drawings of the present utility model, and they do not specifically limit the present utility model.

[0022] See Figure 1, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a piston valve device for a gas spring, which is arranged in the oil chamber of the gas spring. The oil chamber includes a first chamber 4 and a second chamber 5, and the oil flows between the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5 through the piston valve device. The piston valve device can control the communication between the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5. Specifically, the piston valve device for the gas spring includes a piston 1, a valve needle 2 and a communication cover 3. The piston 1 is hermetically arranged between the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5. A valve hole 12 is provided at the end of the piston 1. The valve needle 2 controls the opening and closing of the valve hole 12. A fixed chamber 11 is arranged in the piston 1. The communication cover 3 is arranged in the fixed chamber 11. The valve needle 2 passes through the communication cover 3 and is movably connected to the piston 1. The valve needle 2 moves in the communication cover 3 to realize the opening and closing of the valve hole 12. When the valve hole 12 is opened, the valve hole 12 can communicate with the second chamber 5, and the communication cover 3 can communicate between the valve hole 12 and the first chamber 4, so that the first chamber 4 communicates with the second chamber 5.

[0023] In order to limit the valve needle 2, a limiting cavity 31 is arranged in the communication cover 3, and a limiting convex block 21 is arranged on the valve needle 2. The limiting convex block 21 is fixed on the side wall of the valve needle 2. When the valve needle 2 slides in the communication cover 3, the limiting cavity 31 can limit the moving range of the limiting convex block 21, so as to achieve the limiting effect. In order to ensure the stability of the limiting convex block 21, the limiting convex block 21 and the valve needle 2 are an integrally formed integral structure.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the present utility model are as follows:

[0025] In the piston valve device for a gas spring according to an embodiment of the present utility model, there are a piston 1, a valve needle 2, and a connecting cover 3. Among them, the piston 1 is sealingly arranged between the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5. An end portion of the piston 1 is provided with a valve hole 12, and the valve hole 12 can communicate with the second chamber 5. The valve needle 2 controls the opening and closing of the valve hole 12. The connecting cover 3 can be connected between the valve hole 12 and the first chamber 4. The connecting cover 3 plays a role in connecting the first chamber 4 and the second chamber 5. At the same time, the connecting cover 3 also plays a role in limiting. A limiting chamber 31 is arranged inside the connecting cover 3. A limiting protrusion 21 is arranged on the valve needle 2, and the limiting protrusion 21 is fixed on the side wall of the valve needle 2. When the valve needle 2 slides in the piston 1 to control the opening and closing of the valve hole 12, the limiting chamber 31 can limit the moving range of the limiting protrusion 21. In the piston valve device for a gas spring of the present utility model, by using the limiting protrusion 21 to cooperate with the connecting cover 3 that plays a connecting role, the function of front and rear limiting is realized, which can be more stable than the traditional structure of placing a limiting rubber ring, can form stable limiting, avoid the phenomenon that the limiting part 22 comes out, and reduce the risk of the valve needle 2 falling off.

[0026] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , one side of the limiting chamber 31 close to the first chamber 4 is a first limiting surface 311, and one side of the limiting chamber 31 close to the second chamber 5 is a second limiting surface 312. When the valve needle 2 moves in the fixed chamber 11, the limiting protrusion 21 can respectively abut against the first limiting surface 311 and the second limiting surface 312. Among them, when the limiting protrusion 21 abuts against the first limiting surface 311, the valve hole 12 is in a closed state, and when the limiting protrusion 21 abuts against the second limiting surface 312, the valve hole 12 is in an open state.

[0027] The valve needle 2 includes a limiting part 22. The limiting protrusion 21 and the limiting part 22 are integrally formed. The limiting protrusion 21 is arranged on the limiting part 22 and protrudes from the side wall of the limiting part 22. The position of the connecting cover 3 corresponds to the position of the limiting part 22, so as to be able to limit the limiting part 22. An inner communication hole 32 is arranged on the side wall of the connecting cover 3. The valve hole 12 can communicate with the inner communication hole 32 through the limiting chamber 31. The connecting cover 3 includes a first limiting ring 33 and a second limiting ring 34, and the first limiting ring 33 and the second limiting ring 34 enclose the limiting chamber 31.

[0028] An outer communication hole 13 is arranged on the side wall of the piston 1, and the outer communication hole 13 can be connected to the inner communication hole 32. When the valve hole 12 is open, the oil in the second chamber 5 can enter and exit through the connecting cover 3, and enter and exit the first chamber 4 through the inner communication hole 32 and the outer communication hole 13.

[0029] The connecting cover 3 is formed by fitting the first limiting ring 33 and the second limiting ring 34. The first limiting ring 33 is arranged on one side of the fixed cavity 11 close to the first cavity 4, the second limiting ring 34 is arranged on one side of the fixed cavity 11 close to the second cavity 5, the first limiting surface 311 is arranged on the inner side of the first limiting ring 33, and the second limiting surface 312 is arranged on the inner side of the second limiting ring 34.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 2 , the first limiting ring 33 includes a first ring body 331, a first flange 332 and a first clamping platform 333. The first flange 332 protrudes from the outer wall of the first ring body 331 and abuts against the inner wall of the fixed cavity 11. The first flange 332 forms a fixed connection with the fixed cavity 11. The first clamping platform 333 protrudes from the inner wall of the first ring body 331. The first limiting surface 311 is arranged on the first clamping platform 333. The first clamping platform 333 can form a clamping position for the limiting bump 21, and the first clamping platform 333 encloses a first through hole 334.

[0031] The second limiting ring 34 includes a second ring body 341, a second flange 342 and a second clamping platform 343. The second flange 342 protrudes from the outer wall of the second ring body 341 and abuts against the inner wall of the fixed cavity 11. The second flange 342 forms a fixed connection with the fixed cavity 11. The second clamping platform 343 protrudes from the inner wall of the second ring body 341. The second limiting surface 312 is arranged on the second clamping platform 343. The second clamping platform 343 can form a clamping position for the limiting bump 21, and the second clamping platform 343 encloses a second through hole 344. The valve needle 2 can pass through the first through hole 334 and the second through hole 344 and slide in the first through hole 334 and the second through hole 344.

[0032] Referring to Figure 3 , the valve needle 2 further includes a blocking portion 23 and a sliding portion 24. The blocking portion 23 and the sliding portion 24 are respectively arranged at both ends of the limiting portion 22. The blocking portion 23 can be inserted into the valve hole 12, and the sliding portion 24 can pass through the first through hole 334 and slide in the first through hole 334. Due to the limitation of the limiting boss, the sliding portion 24 cannot enter the second through hole 344, and the limiting portion 22 and the blocking portion 23 cannot enter the first through hole 334.

[0033] Referring to Figure 4, the limiting bump 21 includes a first abutting surface 211 and a second abutting surface 212. The first abutting surface 211 can abut against the first limiting surface 311, and the second abutting surface 212 can abut against the second limiting surface 312. The first abutting surface 211 is parallel to the sliding direction of the valve needle 2. In this way, when subjected to the hydraulic pressure from the second chamber 5, the vertical reaction force formed by the direct contact between the first abutting surface 211 and the first limiting surface 311 can achieve a good blocking effect. The second abutting surface 212 is inclined, and the shape of the second through hole 344 corresponds to the shape of the second abutting surface 212. The hydraulic pressure in the first chamber 4 acts radially on the limiting portion 22 through the internal communication hole 32. When the hydraulic pressure acts on the inclined second abutting surface 212, a component force pointing to the first limiting surface 311 can be generated, thereby increasing the abutting and sealing effect of the first limiting surface 311 on the first abutting surface 211.

[0034] The diameters of the blocking portion 23 and the sliding portion 24 are both larger than the diameter of the limiting portion 22, and the diameter of the limiting bump 21 is larger than the diameters of the first through hole 334 and the second through hole 344. In this way, the limiting portion 22 can pass through the second through hole 344 to realize the communication between the second chamber 5 and the communication cover 3, and the first through hole 334 and the second through hole 344 can limit the limiting bump 21.

[0035] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
