When the worm rotates, it will drive the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the gear to rotate, and through the meshing relationship between the gear and the rack, the two racks are driven away from each other, so that the two blocks are away from each other. Then, the fixing block on the joint is clamped into the installation groove, and the positioning column is clamped into the positioning groove. Then, rotate the knob in the opposite direction, and through the mutual cooperation of the worm wheel, worm and gear, the two blocks are driven to move toward the middle at the same time, so that they can be clamped into the clamping slot, and the fixing block can be locked, thereby achieving effective fixation of the joint. In the fixed state, the self-locking performance of the worm gear can be used to make the clamping block stably clamped in the clamping slot without moving. In this way, different types of joints can be quickly replaced according to actual usage needs, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0015] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: a positioning column is fixedly connected to the side wall of the joint, and a positioning groove adapted to the positioning column is opened on the side wall of the installation groove.

[0016] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: there are two clamping blocks, and the two clamping blocks are located in the installation slot, one on the left and one on the right.

[0017] In a preferred example, the present invention can be further configured as follows: the end of the clamping block is configured as an arc surface.

[0018] The nouns, conjunctions or adjectives involved in the above technical solution are explained as follows:

[0019] A fixed connection is a connection in which parts or components are fixed without any relative movement. There are two types of connections: detachable and non-detachable.

[0020] (1) A removable connection is a method of fastening components together using screws, splines, wedge pins, etc. This type of connection allows for disassembly during maintenance without damaging the components. However, the connectors used must be of the correct specifications (e.g., length of bolts, keys, wedge pins) and properly tightened.

[0021] (2) Non-detachable connections mainly refer to welding, riveting and tenoning.

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict.

[0033] According to the concept of this application, Figures 1 to 4 The following describes an embodiment of a hydraulic cylinder for applying a hydraulic driving force and facilitating the replacement of joints. Specifically, the hydraulic cylinder for facilitating the replacement of joints is constructed as a split structure, which has three components: a cylinder body, a gear, and a joint. Through the mutual cooperation of the provided worm gear, fixed block, gear, clamping block and other structures, the joint can be quickly disassembled, replaced and installed without the aid of professional tools, and the operation is simple. It not only facilitates the improvement of replacement efficiency and reduces downtime, but also facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the disassembled joint. By utilizing the fixed block to be inserted into the clamping slot and the self-locking performance between the worm gear and worm, the joint and the mounting seat can be effectively fixed, and the joint will not fall off or loosen during use.

[0034] Combine Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder that is easy to replace joints, comprising:

[0035] A cylinder body, wherein a piston rod is installed inside the cylinder body, the end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to a mounting seat, a mounting groove is opened on the side wall of the mounting seat, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the mounting groove, a worm gear is installed in the middle of the rotating shaft, and the outer surface of the worm gear is meshed with a worm;

[0036] The gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft, and racks are meshed and connected on both sides of the gear, and a clamping block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rack;

[0037] The connector is detachably mounted in the mounting groove, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector, and both sides of the fixing block are provided with a slot that matches the block.

[0038] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, the top end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting groove through a bearing, one end of the worm is rotatably connected to the mounting groove through a bearing, and the other end passes through the mounting seat and is equipped with a knob. The worm can be driven to rotate by rotating the knob from the outside.

[0039] According to the technical solution of this embodiment, there are two racks, which are located on both sides of the gear respectively, and the two racks are arranged symmetrically along the center of the gear. When the worm rotates, it drives the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the gear to rotate, and through the meshing relationship between the gear and the rack, the two racks are driven closer to or away from each other.

[0040] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rack, and a guide groove adapted to the guide rod is opened on the side wall of the mounting groove. The provided guide rod and guide groove are used to provide support and guidance for the rack when it moves.

[0041] Regarding the technical solution of this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a positioning column is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector, and a positioning groove adapted to the positioning column is opened on the side wall of the mounting groove. When the fixed block is inserted into the mounting groove, the positioning column on the connector will also be inserted into the positioning groove, which not only facilitates positioning, but also enhances the connection strength between the connector and the mounting seat.

[0042] Regarding the technical solution of this embodiment, Figure 3-4 As shown, there are two clamping blocks, one on the left and one on the right, which are located in the installation groove. The ends of the clamping blocks are set as arc surfaces. When the gear rotates and drives the two racks to approach each other, they can be clamped into the clamping slot of the fixed block, locking the fixed block, thereby achieving effective fixation of the joint. In the fixed state, the self-locking performance of the worm gear can be utilized to make the clamping block stably clamped in the clamping slot and will not move. When the knob is rotated in the opposite direction, the mutual cooperation of the worm gear, worm gear and gear can drive the two clamping blocks to move to both sides at the same time, so that they can be disengaged from the clamping slot, and the fixed block can be unlocked, which is convenient for replacing other types of joints and improving the practicality of the device.

[0043] Specifically, when the connector needs to be replaced, first rotate the knob from the outside to drive the worm to rotate. When the worm rotates, it will drive the worm wheel to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate. When the rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the gear to rotate, and through the meshing relationship between the gear and the rack, the two racks are driven away from each other, so that the two blocks are away from each other. Then, the fixing block on the connector is inserted into the installation groove, and the positioning column is inserted into the positioning groove. Then, rotate the knob in the opposite direction, and through the mutual cooperation of the worm wheel, worm, and gear, the two blocks are driven to move toward the middle at the same time, so that they can be stuck in the slot, and the fixing block can be locked, thereby achieving effective fixation of the connector. In the fixed state, the self-locking performance of the worm gear can be used to make the block stably stuck in the slot and will not move. In this way, different types of connectors can be quickly replaced according to actual usage needs, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0048] The connector is detachably mounted in the mounting groove, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector, and both sides of the fixing block are provided with a slot that matches the block.

[0049] The working principle and usage process of the utility model are as follows: when the joint needs to be replaced, first rotate the knob from the outside to drive the worm to rotate.
