Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to nitrogen gas springs, and more specifically, it relates to wear-resistant nitrogen gas springs. Background Art
[0002] A nitrogen gas spring is a new type of elastic component with high-pressure nitrogen as the working medium. It has the advantages of small volume, large elastic force, long stroke, stable operation, precise manufacturing, long service life, gentle elastic force curve, and no need for pre-tightening during use, etc. It can easily achieve constant pressure and delay action in the system and is an ideal elastic component of a new generation with flexible performance. Nitrogen gas springs usually use piston rod guide sleeves and seals for sealing to ensure smooth movement of the piston rod in and out while preventing gas leakage. When the nitrogen gas spring is compressed, the internal pressure of the nitrogen gas spring is high. Under multiple high-intensity pressures, the sealing performance of the nitrogen gas spring will decline, easily causing gas leakage, weakening the buffering effect, and affecting the use. Since both the main cylinder body and the piston rod of the nitrogen gas spring are cylindrical structures, during actual use, relative rotation will occur between the piston rod and the main cylinder body, and the piston rod will receive radial shear force, posing a risk of piston rod fracture.
[0003] In view of this, the present utility model is specifically proposed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a wear-resistant nitrogen gas spring. To solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0005] The wear-resistant nitrogen gas spring includes a main cylinder body and a piston rod. A valve seat is installed below the main cylinder body, and a gas valve is installed at the middle position of the valve seat. A cylinder keyway is machined on the inner wall of the main cylinder body. A piston plate is integrally provided at the lower end of the piston rod, and a piston keyway is penetrated and machined on the outer diameter of the piston plate. A limit key is installed in the cylinder keyway. A scouring ring is provided at the mating position between the upper end of the main cylinder body and the piston rod. An arc-shaped collecting groove is provided on the scouring ring. A self-lubricating sealing ring is provided below the scouring ring. A guide sleeve I is provided below the self-lubricating sealing ring. A Y-shaped sealing ring is provided below the guide sleeve I. A guide sleeve II is provided below the Y-shaped sealing ring. A stop ring is provided on the inner wall of the main cylinder body, and a sealing ring sleeve is sleeved outside the stop ring. The sealing ring sleeve can effectively buffer the collision between the piston plate and the stop ring.
[0006] As a further solution of the present utility model: The sealing ring sleeve is a semi-surrounding structure. A mating protrusion is provided on the inner side of the sealing ring sleeve. Mating grooves are opened on the upper and lower surfaces of the stop ring. The position and specifications of the mating grooves correspond to those of the mating protrusion to ensure the stability of the installation of the sealing ring sleeve.
[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: the cylinder body keyway is symmetrically provided with two, the cylinder body keyway and the limit key are tightly fitted, and the limit key and the piston keyway are slidingly fitted, so that effective limiting is performed during the lifting and lowering movement of the piston rod.
[0008] As a further solution of the utility model: a sealing connection ring is provided at the upper position where the valve seat and the main cylinder body cooperate, a retaining ring is provided at the middle position, and a sealing ring is provided at the lower end position where the main cylinder body and the valve seat cooperate to ensure the stability of the valve seat installation.
[0009] As a further solution of the utility model: the surface of the piston rod is titanium-plated to enhance the corrosion resistance, surface hardness, high temperature resistance and wear resistance of the piston rod.
[0010] After adopting the above technical scheme, the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0012] Two guide sleeves are arranged between the piston rod and the inner wall of the main cylinder body of the utility model, and a Y-shaped sealing ring is arranged between the two guide sleeves. When the pressure received by the nitrogen spring is greater, the relative deformation of the Y-shaped sealing ring is greater, and the overall sealing performance is better. In combination with the self-lubricating sealing ring and the sealing ring sleeve, it is ensured that the nitrogen spring as a whole has good pressure resistance and service life.

Detailed implementation manners
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0023] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the wear-resistant nitrogen spring includes a main cylinder block 1 and a piston rod 2. A valve seat 4 is installed below the main cylinder block 1, an air valve 5 is installed at the middle position of the valve seat 4, a cylinder block keyway 10 is machined on the inner wall of the main cylinder block 1, a piston plate 3 is integrally provided at the lower end of the piston rod 2, a piston keyway 11 is penetrated and machined on the outer diameter of the piston plate 3, a limit key 9 is installed in the cylinder block keyway 10, a scaling ring 12 is arranged at the mating position of the upper end of the main cylinder block 1 and the piston rod 2, an arc-shaped collection groove 13 is arranged on the scaling ring 12, a self-lubricating sealing ring 14 is arranged below the scaling ring 12, a guide sleeve one 15 is arranged below the self-lubricating sealing ring 14, a Y-shaped sealing ring 16 is arranged below the guide sleeve one 15, a guide sleeve two 17 is arranged below the Y-shaped sealing ring 16, a stop ring 18 is arranged on the inner wall of the main cylinder block 1, a sealing ring sleeve 19 is sleeved outside the stop ring 18, and the sealing ring sleeve 19 can effectively buffer the collision between the piston plate 3 and the stop ring 18.
[0024] Among them, the sealing ring sleeve 19 is of a semi-surrounding structure. A mating protrusion 21 is provided on the inner side of the sealing ring sleeve 19. Mating grooves 20 are formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the stop ring 18. The positions and specifications of the mating grooves 20 correspond to those of the mating protrusion 21 to ensure the stability of the installation of the sealing ring sleeve 19.
[0025] Two cylinder block keyways 10 are symmetrically arranged. There is an interference fit between the cylinder block keyway 10 and the limit key 9, and a sliding fit between the limit key 9 and the piston keyway 11 to perform effective limiting during the lifting and lowering movement of the piston rod 2.

[0028] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: The surface of the piston rod 2 is treated with titanium plating to enhance its corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance and wear resistance, especially suitable for mining equipment or other equipment with poor operating environments. The mining equipment is in an environment with a large amount of dust.

When the pressure received by the nitrogen spring is greater, the relative deformation of the Y-shaped sealing ring 16 is greater and the overall sealing performance is better. In cooperation with the self-lubricating sealing ring 14 and the sealing ring sleeve 19, it is ensured that the nitrogen spring as a whole has good compressive capacity and service life.
