[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a dust-proof mechanism for a nitrogen spring, comprising a nitrogen cylinder 1, a plunger rod 2 movably mounted on the top of the nitrogen cylinder 1, a nylon dust cover 3 provided on the upper end of the nitrogen cylinder 1, the nylon dust cover 3 being sleeved on the outside of the plunger rod 2, a docking circular opening being provided in the middle of the top end of the nylon dust cover 3, the cross-section of the nylon dust cover 3 being a U-shaped structure, and the nylon dust cover 3 being a circular structure when viewed from above.
[0019] The cross-section of the docking circular opening at the top of the nylon dust cover 3 is an arc-shaped structure, and a snap-on mounting groove 4 is opened on the upper end of the outer periphery of the plunger rod 2. The snap-on mounting groove 4 for mounting the nylon dust cover 3 has a snap-on mounting opening and an elastic interference fit, which fully interferes with the snap-on mounting groove 4 opened at the top of the plunger rod 2 to prevent condensed water from leaking into the inside of the nylon dust cover 3 and corroding the plunger rod 2.
[0020] The buckle mounting groove 4 is annular in structure, and the nylon dust cover 3 is made of nylon;
[0021] An air hole 5 is provided in the middle of the upper left end of the nylon dust cover 3. The air hole 5 is inclined. The downwardly inclined air hole 5 prevents the air pressure generated during movement from causing the nylon dust cover 3 to fall off or break out of the dust seal installed below. At the same time, the downwardly inclined design of the outer opening can effectively prevent condensed water from flowing into the inside of the nylon dust cover 3.
[0022] The upper end of the nylon dust cover 3 is designed in a sloped manner, so that the condensed water can flow down quickly to prevent stagnation and corrosion of the plunger rod 2;
[0023] A docking ring groove 6 is provided at the upper end of the exterior of the nitrogen cylinder 1, a dustproof sealing ring 7 is installed in the inner cavity of the docking ring groove 6, and elastic lips 8 are installed around the exterior of the dustproof sealing ring 7. This specially designed mounting and fixing structure can effectively prevent falling off and rolling when installed in conjunction with the nitrogen cylinder 1. The elastic lip 8 can fully contact the nylon dust cover 3 when in conjunction with it, preventing deposited oxide scale and other dust from being sucked back into the nylon dust cover 3 to damage the nitrogen cylinder seal.
[0024] Working principle: During use, the utility model forms a physical barrier by fitting the nylon dust cover 3 onto the upper end of the nitrogen cylinder 1 and covering the outside of the plunger rod 2, and clamping and installing it through the snap-fit mounting groove 4 processed on the top end of the nitrogen spring plunger rod. It can effectively block the oxide scale and condensed water generated during the operation of the hot pressing mold and prevent them from entering the interior of the spring.
