[0021] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present utility model and be able to implement it, but the illustrated embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, a low-weight buffer cylinder of the present utility model includes: a cylinder body, the cylinder body includes a first end cover 2, a second end cover 3, and a cylinder barrel 1 connected between the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 3. The first end cover 2 is provided with a through hole 21. The cylinder barrel 1 and the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 3 form an accommodating space 11. The thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increases from the first end cover 2 to the direction of the second end cover 3. A slide bar 4, the slide bar 4 penetrates through the through hole 21. One end of the slide bar 4 is connected to the stop block 41. The stop block 41 is located in the accommodating space 11, and the stop block 41 is in contact with the cylinder barrel 1. A sealed space 12 is formed between the second end cover 3 and the stop block 41.

[0023] In a low-weight buffer cylinder of this embodiment, a buffer object abuts against the end of the slide bar 4 far from the stop block 41 and pushes the slide bar 4 to move towards the second end cover 3, so that the stop block 41 compresses the liquid or gas in the sealed space 12, thereby forming a buffer for the buffer object. During the process of the stop block 41 moving towards the second end cover 3, the closer the distance between the stop block 41 and the second end cover 3 is, that is, the smaller the sealed space 12 is, the greater the pressure borne by the side wall of the sealed space 12 corresponding to the cylinder barrel 1 is. By making the thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increase from the first end cover 2 to the direction of the second end cover 3, the pressure that the cylinder barrel 1 can bear gradually increases towards the second end cover 3, so that the cylinder barrel 1 can bear the corresponding pressure at each position in the accommodating space 11. Compared with the prior art of a cylinder barrel in a straight cylinder shape, the cylinder barrel 1 of this embodiment has a lower weight, enabling the aerospace equipment to carry more cargo weight.

[0024] The cylinder body includes a first end cover 2, a second end cover 3, and a cylinder barrel 1 connected between the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 3. The first end cover 2 is located at the top of the cylinder barrel 1. A through hole 21 is provided at the middle position of the first end cover 2. The second end cover 3 is located at the bottom of the cylinder barrel 1. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the cylinder barrel 1 is in a circular ring shape. The cross-section of the cylinder barrel 1 can also be in a triangular ring shape, a quadrilateral ring shape, etc. The cylinder barrel 1 and the first end cover 2 and the second end cover 3 form an accommodating space 11.

[0025] The sliding rod 4 is arranged through the through hole 21. One end of the sliding rod 4 is connected to the stop block 41, and the stop block 41 is located within the accommodation space 11. The other end of the sliding rod 4 is located outside the accommodation space 11 and is used to abut against a buffer object. The side wall of the stop block 41 is in contact with the cylinder barrel 1, and the stop block 41 is slidably connected to the cylinder barrel 1, so that a sealed space 12 is formed between the stop block 41 and the second end cover 3. In this embodiment, gas can be arranged within the sealed space 12 to form a buffer cylinder, or liquid can also be arranged within the sealed space 12 to form a buffer hydraulic cylinder. The width of the stop block 41 is greater than the diameter of the through hole 21, so as to prevent the stop block 41 from detaching from the through hole 21 to the outside of the accommodation space 11. The sliding rod 4 is in contact with the side wall of the through hole 21, and the sliding rod 4 is slidably connected to the through hole 21, so that the through hole 21 has a guiding effect on the sliding rod 4. At the same time, the contact between the sliding rod 4 and the side wall can prevent foreign objects from entering the accommodation space 11.

[0026] The plane where the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 is located within the accommodation space 11 is perpendicular to the plane where the second end cover 3 is located, that is, the inner side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 is smooth, so that the stop block 41 can slide within the accommodation space 11. The thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increases from the first end cover 2 to the second end cover 3 direction, so that the pressure that the cylinder barrel 1 can withstand gradually increases in the second end cover 3 direction, and further enables the cylinder barrel 1 to withstand the corresponding pressure at each position where the stop block 41 is located within the accommodation space 11. Specifically, the cylinder barrel 1 includes a plurality of bumps 13 with different thicknesses. The bumps 13 are located on the side wall away from the accommodation space 11, that is, the bumps 13 are located on the outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1. The thickness of the bumps 13 gradually increases from the first end cover 2 to the second end cover 3 direction, so that the thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increases from the first end cover 2 to the second end cover 3 direction. The bumps 13 are arranged in sequence from the second end cover 3 to the first end cover 2 direction. The bump 13 with the largest thickness abuts against the second end cover 3, and the bumps 13 are arranged in a circle around the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1, so that the outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 is integrally stepped and the radial thickness at each height is the same. At the same time, the arrangement of the bumps 13 enables the cylinder barrel 1 to be clamped with an external card slot, facilitating the positioning and fixing of the cylinder barrel 1.

[0027] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, the thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 away from the accommodation space 11 gradually increases from the first end cover 2 to the second end cover 3 direction, and the surface of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 away from the accommodation space 11 is smooth, that is, the outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 is integrally conical, so that the pressure that the cylinder barrel 1 can withstand from the first end cover 2 to the second end cover 3 direction increases linearly, and can match the pressure borne by the cylinder barrel 1 during the movement of the stop block 41. According to the different pressures borne by the cylinder barrel 1 during the movement of the stop block 41, the outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 can also be arc-shaped.

[0028] Refer to Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment, the cylinder barrel 1 includes a plurality of first reinforcing members 14. The first reinforcing members 14 are detachably connected to the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 on the side away from the accommodation space 11. The detachable connection between the first reinforcing members 14 and the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 enables the cylinder barrel 1 to replace the first reinforcing members 14 with different thicknesses according to the actual conditions at various positions on the cylinder barrel 1, thereby making the applicable range of a low-weight buffer cylinder in this embodiment wider. Preferably, the first reinforcing members 14 are sleeved on the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1, and the first reinforcing members 14 are in a circular ring shape. The thicknesses of the plurality of first reinforcing members 14 gradually increase in the direction from the first end cap 2 to the second end cap 3. The first reinforcing member 14 with the largest thickness abuts against the second end cap 3, so that the radial thicknesses of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 at various heights are equal. The plurality of first reinforcing members 14 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the second end cap 3 to the first end cap 2, and the ends of adjacent first reinforcing members 14 abut against each other, so that the overall outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 is in a stepped shape, and there is no gap between adjacent first reinforcing members 14, preventing cracks from occurring at the gap position due to the unstable pressure borne by the cylinder barrel 1 caused by the gap between the first reinforcing members 14.

[0029] In another embodiment, the cylinder barrel 1 includes a second reinforcing member (not shown in the figure). The second reinforcing member is sleeved on the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 on the side away from the accommodation space 11, and the second reinforcing member is detachably connected to the cylinder barrel 1. The second reinforcing member is in a conical shape as a whole, so that the thickness of the second reinforcing member gradually increases from the first end cap 2 to the second end cap 3. The second reinforcing member abuts against and is connected to the second end cap 3. While the second reinforcing member can fit the outer side wall of the cylinder barrel 1, it can also prevent weak positions such as gaps from appearing on the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1. Through the detachable connection between the second reinforcing member and the cylinder barrel 1, the cylinder barrel 1 can replace the second reinforcing members with different thicknesses according to the actual conditions, and the replacement speed is relatively fast.

[0030] During use, the buffer object abuts against and pushes the slide rod 4 towards the second end cap 3 at the end of the slide rod 4 away from the stopper 41, so that the stopper 41 compresses the liquid or gas in the closed space 12. During the movement of the stopper 41 towards the second end cap 3, the closer the distance between the stopper 41 and the second end cap 3 is, the greater the pressure borne by the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1. By making the thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increase in the direction from the first end cap 2 to the second end cap 3, the cylinder barrel 1 can withstand the pressure when the stopper 41 is at various positions.

[0031] A low-weight buffer cylinder of the present utility model has the thickness of the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1 gradually increasing from the first end cover 2 towards the second end cover 3, so that the pressure that the cylinder barrel 1 can withstand gradually increases towards the second end cover 3. As a result, the cylinder barrel 1 can withstand the corresponding pressure at various positions where the stopper 41 is located within the accommodation space 11. Compared with the prior art where the cylinder barrel 1 is in a straight cylinder shape, the cylinder barrel 1 in this embodiment has a lower weight, enabling the aerospace equipment to carry more cargo weight. By the detachable connection between the first reinforcing member 14 and the side wall of the cylinder barrel 1, the cylinder barrel 1 can replace the first reinforcing member 14 with different thicknesses according to the actual conditions at various positions on the cylinder barrel 1, thereby making the low-weight buffer cylinder of the present utility model have a wider application range.

[0032] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present utility model.
