[0020] The following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model to describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in detail. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] Combined with Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a door closer includes a guide rail (not shown), a rocker arm (not shown), and a driving device. The guide rail and the driving device are respectively fixed to the door frame and the door leaf. One end of the rocker arm is drivingly connected to the driving device, and the other end is slidably hinged to the guide rail. The driving device includes a door closer housing 1, a plurality of pistons 2 slidably arranged in the door closer housing 1, and a rotating shaft 3 drivingly connected to the plurality of pistons 2. One end of the rotating shaft 3 close to the guide rail is connected to the rocker arm.

[0022] In this technical solution, both the guide rail and the rocker arm can utilize existing structures. The door closer extends along its height direction (the direction of being embedded in the door leaf / door frame, the length direction of the door leaf), and is provided with a plurality of oil cavities arranged in parallel. Each oil cavity is provided with a sliding piston. The rotating shaft is simultaneously drivingly connected to all the pistons. Without changing the thickness of the door closer (in the thickness direction of the door leaf), it can still be embedded in the door leaf or the door frame. Its door closer housing is an integral structure, which is beneficial to reducing the volume and avoiding external splicing structures, etc. The structure of this door closer is simple. Multiple pistons are arranged in the door closer housing at the same time, which improves the power of the door closer. The plurality of oil cavities and the corresponding pistons are arranged in parallel, without changing the thickness of the door closer housing, and the force is evenly distributed to multiple pistons, extending the service life of the pistons.

[0023] Exemplarily, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, a plurality of oil cavities 11 arranged in parallel are opened in the door closer housing 1. The pistons 2 are slidably arranged in the corresponding oil cavities 11. Both ends of the oil cavity 11 are blocked by a front end cover 4 and a rear end cover 5 respectively. A spring 6 is arranged between the piston 2 and the rear end cover 5.

[0024] In this technical solution, the front end cover, the rear end cover, and the spring are all conventional structures. The front end cover and the rear end cover are disassembled and assembled to the ends of the corresponding oil cavities through a threaded structure, and a conventional sealing ring is configured to seal both ends of the oil cavity. Conventional oil channels, pressure relief valves / check valves, etc. are also arranged in the piston. When opening the door, multiple pistons simultaneously pressurize the corresponding springs. After the external force for opening the door is removed, the springs release elastic potential energy, pushing the pistons to reset, thereby realizing automatic door closing.

[0025] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of regulating valves 7 communicating with the oil cavities 11 are arranged on the door closer housing 1.

[0026] In this technical solution, a conventional control oil channel (not shown) is arranged in the door closer housing, and a conventional regulating valve is configured to regulate the flow rate of the oil in the oil cavity, etc., so as to regulate the closing speed of the door. The regulating valve is arranged on the exposed surface (the side exposed to the air) of the door closer housing, which is convenient for operation.

[0027] Exemplarily, refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a plurality of communication holes 12 are arranged between adjacent oil cavities 11.

[0028] In this technical solution, the oil cavities are interconnected through communication holes, and all the oil cavities are synchronously connected to the control oil passage and the regulating valve.

[0029] Exemplarily, referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a driving cavity 21 is formed in the piston 2, a plurality of internal teeth 211 are provided on the side wall of the driving cavity 21, and external teeth 31 meshing with the internal teeth 211 are provided on the surface of the rotating shaft 3.

[0030] In this technical solution, the piston can directly utilize the existing structure. One end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the door closer housing through a conventional bearing, etc., and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding side wall of the door closer housing through a conventional end cover and bearing and protrudes from the door closer housing. It is connected to the rocker arm. The external teeth of the rotating shaft are simultaneously meshed with all the pistons to synchronously drive the pistons or be synchronously driven by the pistons.

[0031] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 3 is integrally formed.

[0032] In this technical solution, the rotating shaft is integrally formed, which is convenient for installation.

[0033] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 3 is a multi-section structure.

[0034] In this technical solution, the rotating shaft is formed by splicing multi-section shafts. External teeth are processed on the surface of each section of the shaft. Adjacent rotating shafts are connected by structures such as protruding prisms and corresponding polygonal blind holes, or threaded structures, or through couplings, etc., as long as the synchronous rotation of the rotating shaft can be achieved. The multi-section structure is convenient for processing.

[0035] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, mounting pieces 8 are respectively connected to both ends of one side of the door closer housing 1 close to the rocker arm.

[0036] In this technical solution, the mounting piece is determined according to the actual installation conditions of the door closer housing, and the door closer housing can be fixed at the corresponding position of the door leaf / door frame.

[0037] In summary, the door closer of the present utility model has a simple structure. Multiple pistons are arranged in the door closer housing at the same time to improve the power of the door closer. Multiple oil cavities and the corresponding pistons are arranged in parallel, without changing the thickness of the door closer housing, evenly distributing the force to multiple pistons, and prolonging the service life of the pistons.

[0038] It should be noted that in this text, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the said element.

[0039] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
