[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] The utility model provides a retention type gas spring. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] (1) The retention type gas spring pulls the piston rod to make the piston slide inside the cylinder. The sliding of the piston squeezes the gas in the lower cavity. At this time, the gas in the lower cavity squeezes the sealing plug through the circulation groove, thereby separating the sealing plug from the circulation groove, causing the sealing block and the top rod to slide upward synchronously, so that the reset spring is compressed, and the gas in the lower cavity enters the upper cavity through the circulation groove. When the length of the piston rod and the cylinder body is adjusted, the reset spring begins to reset, so that the sealing block and the sealing plug re-seal the circulation groove to avoid the circulation of gas and maintain the length of retention, so that the piston rod can stop at any position. By providing a piston assembly, the gas spring device can stop at any position when extending or compressing, so that it is suitable for equipment or instruments with different angles or height adjustments, thereby improving the practicality of the gas spring device.
[0016] (2) The retention type gas spring drives the control rod to slide to the left by pulling the control block, and then rotates the control block to drive the control rod and the limit rod to rotate, and then releases the control block. At this time, under the influence of the elasticity of the control spring, the sliding block slides on the surface of the positioning rod, thereby driving the positioning block to slide synchronously, so that the positioning block slides to the inner surface of the positioning groove, realizes the clamping and fixing, and positions the push rod. By providing a positioning component, the positioning operation of the push rod in the stopped state at any position is realized, so that the sealing plug is always located inside the circulation groove, avoiding gas circulation between the upper cavity and the lower cavity, so that the gas spring device always maintains the required length, and improves the stability of the gas spring device.

[0026] The positioning assembly 32 is provided at the other end of the piston rod 2 and is used to position the push rod 313 .
[0027] A sealing ring is also provided at the connection between the push rod 313 and the piston 311; the sealing plug 315 is an inverted conical block.

[0029] The return spring 5 ensures that the sealing plug 315 is always located inside the flow groove 312 without being affected by external forces.
[0030] The positioning assembly 32 includes a connecting block 321 installed at the other end of the piston rod 2, the inner wall of the connecting block 321 is fixedly connected to a symmetrical positioning rod 322, the surface of the positioning rod 322 is slidably connected to a sliding block 323, the left side of the sliding block 323 is rotatably connected to a control rod 324, the surface of the control rod 324 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 325, one end of the control rod 324 is fixedly connected to a control block 326, the right side of the sliding block 323 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 327, the right side of the sliding block 323 is fixedly connected to a control spring 328, one end of the control spring 328 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 321, the inner wall of the connecting block 321 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 329, and the inner part of the limiting plate 329 is snapped into the surface of the limiting rod 325.
[0031] The positioning rod 322 is used to limit the sliding of the sliding block 323. A limiting groove is provided inside the limiting plate 329. The limiting rod 325 is engaged with the inside of the limiting groove. The control spring 328 is controlled without being affected by external forces, so that the positioning block 327 is always engaged with the inside of the positioning groove 6.
[0032] The surface of the push rod 313 is slidably connected to the interior of the piston rod 2 , and the other end of the push rod 313 extends through to the outside of the connecting block 321 .

[0036] After the cam 314 is in the air, the gas in the air 2 is released, and the air in the air 2 is released, so that the air in the air 2 is released, and the air in the air 2 is released, so that the air in the air 2 is released, and the gas in the air 2 is released.
[0037] The retained gas spring drives the control rod 324 to slide to the left by pulling the control block 326. Then, the control block 326 is rotated to drive the control rod 324 and the limit rod 325 to rotate, and then the control block 326 is released. At this time, under the influence of the elasticity of the control spring 328, the sliding block 323 slides on the surface of the positioning rod 322, thereby driving the positioning block 327 to slide synchronously, so that the positioning block 327 slides to the inner surface of the positioning groove 6 to achieve card-connected fixation and position the push rod 313.

[0038] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
[0039] When working, by pulling the piston rod 2, the piston 311 slides inside the cylinder 1. The sliding of the piston 311 will squeeze the gas in the lower chamber. At this time, the gas in the lower chamber will squeeze the sealing plug 315 through the circulation groove 312, thereby separating the sealing plug 315 from the circulation groove 312, causing the sealing block 314 and the push rod 313 to slide upward synchronously, so that the return spring 5 is compressed, and the gas in the lower chamber enters the upper chamber through the circulation groove 312. When the length of the piston rod 2 and the cylinder 1 is adjusted, the return spring 5 will start to reset, so that the sealing block 314 and the sealing plug 315 will re-seal the circulation groove 312 to prevent the circulation of gas and maintain the length retention, so that the piston rod 2 can stop at any position. At this time, if the cylinder 1 is subjected to downward pressure, the gas in the upper chamber will be compressed, thereby squeezing the seal. The sealing block 314 and the sealing plug 315 further maintain the sealing of the circulation groove 312, so that the length of the piston rod 2 will not change. At the same time, the piston rod 2 continues to be subjected to tension, causing the length to change. The control block 326 can be pulled to drive the control rod 324 to slide to the left. Then, the control block 326 is rotated to drive the control rod 324 and the limit rod 325 to rotate, and then the control block 326 is released. At this time, under the influence of the elasticity of the control spring 328, the sliding block 323 slides on the surface of the positioning rod 322, thereby driving the positioning block 327 to slide synchronously, so that the positioning block 327 slides to the inner surface of the positioning groove 6, achieving card-connected fixation, and positioning the push rod 313, so that the sealing plug 315 is always located inside the circulation groove 312, avoiding gas circulation between the upper cavity and the lower cavity, so that the piston rod 2 always maintains the required length.
