[0026] The utility model discloses a water-cooling cylinder with sealing monitoring function.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water-cooled cylinder with seal monitoring includes a cylinder body 1 and a piston rod 2. An oil chamber 11 is formed in the cylinder body 1. The piston rod 2 is inserted into the oil chamber 11 and can move relative to the cylinder body 1 along its own axial direction. A first oil port 111 and a second oil port 112 are provided on the cylinder body 1. The first oil port 111 and the second oil port 112 are both connected to the oil chamber 11 so that hydraulic oil can be input into the oil chamber 11 through the first oil port 111 or the second oil port 112, or hydraulic oil can be output from the oil chamber 11. A piston head 21 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 2. After the oil enters the oil chamber 11 from the first oil port 111 or the second oil port 112, it pushes the piston head 21 to move to drive the piston rod 2 to move along its own axial direction.

[0028] In this embodiment of the water-cooled cylinder with seal monitoring, a cooling chamber 16 is formed in the sidewall of the cylinder body 1. A cooling port is provided in the cylinder body 1, communicating with the cooling chamber 16. This allows for the input and output of cooling medium into and out of the cooling chamber 16 via the cooling port. A sealing assembly is provided between the cylinder body 1 and the piston rod 2, which is used to form a seal between the piston rod 2 and the cylinder body 1. Furthermore, a sealed cold chamber is provided in the cylinder body 1, communicating with the cooling chamber 16. The sealed cold chamber covers at least a portion of the sealing assembly along the radial direction of the cylinder body 1, enabling the sealed cold chamber to cool the sealing assembly.

[0029] Specifically, the sealing assembly includes a first guide sleeve 3, a second guide sleeve 4, a first seal 5, and a second seal 6. The first guide sleeve 3 and the second guide sleeve 4 are both sleeved on the piston rod 2. The first seal 5 is disposed between the first guide sleeve 3 and the piston rod 2, and the second seal 6 is disposed between the second guide sleeve 4 and the piston rod 2. A mounting cavity 19 is defined within the cylinder body 1. The first guide sleeve 3 and the second guide sleeve 4 are both inserted into the mounting cavity 19 and are both connected to the cylinder body 1.

[0030] More specifically, the sealed cold chamber includes a first sealed cold chamber 12 and a second sealed cold chamber 13. The first sealed cold chamber 12 is formed between the first guide sleeve 3, the second guide sleeve 4, and the inner wall of the mounting chamber 19. A second communicating hole 15 is provided in the cylinder body 1. One end of the second communicating hole 15 communicates with the cooling chamber 16, and the other end communicates with the first sealed cold chamber 12 within the mounting chamber 19. A second sealed cold chamber 13 is formed between the second guide sleeve 4 and the piston rod 2. The second sealed cold chamber 13 is located between the first seal 5 and the second seal 6. The first sealed cold chamber 12 communicates with the second sealed cold chamber 13 through a first communicating hole 14. Multiple first communicating holes 14 are provided along the circumference of the second guide sleeve 4. The cooling ports include a first cold port 17 and a second cold port 18. The first cold port 17 communicates with the cooling chamber 16, and the second cold port 18 communicates with the first sealed cold chamber 12, allowing the cooling medium to pass through the cooling chamber 16, the first sealed cold chamber 12, and the second sealed cold chamber 13. The cooling medium flowing into the first sealed cold chamber 12 and the second sealed cold chamber 13 not only cools the sealing assembly and guide parts but also removes the oil film, preventing hydraulic oil accumulation and pollution of the operating environment. The cooling medium in the cooling chamber 16, the first sealed cold chamber 12, and the second sealed cold chamber 13 can be cooling water.

[0031] When the cooling medium is working, a lower cold port is set as the inlet of the cooling medium so that the cooling medium can fully cool the cylinder body 1 and the sealing assembly. That is, if the height of the first cold port 17 is lower than the height of the second cold port 18, the cooling medium enters from the first cold port 17; if the height of the second cold port 18 is lower than the height of the first cold port 17, the cooling medium enters from the second cold port 18. When the cooling medium enters from the first cold port 17, the cooling medium first enters the cooling cavity 16, then enters the first sealed cold cavity 12 and the second sealed cold cavity 13, and finally flows out from the second cold port 18, completing the cooling cycle. When the cooling medium enters from the second cold port 18, the cooling medium first enters the first sealed cold cavity 12 and the second sealed cold cavity 13, then enters the cooling cavity 16, and finally flows out from the first cold port 17, completing the cooling cycle.

[0032] Specifically, the first sealing element 5 includes a first waterproof ring 51, a first rod oil sealing ring 52, and a second rod oil sealing ring 53. These rings are all positioned between the first guide sleeve 3 and the piston rod 2. These rings are arranged sequentially from the second guide sleeve 4 toward the first guide sleeve 3. Three first sealing ring grooves 55 are defined on the inner wall of the first guide sleeve 3 to accommodate the first waterproof ring 51, the first rod oil sealing ring 52, and the second rod oil sealing ring 53. The first waterproof ring 51 is used to prevent the coolant in the second sealed cold chamber 13 from entering the oil chamber 11. The second rod oil sealing ring 53 is used for primary oil pressure sealing, while the first rod oil sealing ring 52 is used for secondary oil pressure sealing, thereby separating the oil chamber from the cooling chamber.

[0033] The second sealing member 6 includes a dust ring 61, a second waterproof ring 62, and a third waterproof ring 63. These three rings are positioned between the second guide sleeve 4 and the piston rod 2, and are arranged sequentially from the second guide sleeve 4 toward the first guide sleeve 3. Three second sealing ring grooves 66 are defined on the inner wall of the second guide sleeve 4 to accommodate the dust ring 61, the second waterproof ring 62, and the third waterproof ring 63. The dust ring 61 prevents dust and foreign matter from entering the cylinder body 1. The third waterproof ring 63 provides primary waterproofing for the second sealed cold chamber 13, and the second waterproof ring 62 provides secondary waterproofing for the second sealed cold chamber 13.

[0034] A leakage detection port is provided between the sealing assembly and the piston rod. In this embodiment, the leakage detection port 64 is provided on the second guide sleeve 4. One end of the leakage detection port 64 communicates with the inner hole of the second guide sleeve 4, and the other end is connected to a liquid level bottle. The leakage detection port is located between the second waterproof ring 62 and the third waterproof ring 63. The leakage detection port can monitor the amount of leakage through the liquid level bottle and thus detect whether the sealing assembly has failed due to high temperature.

[0035] In addition, an oil-proof static seal 54 is provided between the first guide sleeve 3 and the cylinder body 1. The oil-proof static seal 54 is used to prevent the oil in the oil chamber 11 from mixing with the cooling medium in the first sealed cold chamber 12. A waterproof static seal 65 is provided between the second guide sleeve 4 and the cylinder body 1. The waterproof static seal 65 is used to prevent the cooling medium in the second sealed cold chamber 13 from leaking.

[0036] Based on the above-mentioned ideal embodiment of the present invention, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the content of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
