The tops of the rear end cover 1 and the front end cover 4 are both provided with pneumatic joints 3. A magnetic component that enables the L-shaped frame 17 to move is provided in the slide groove 14. Air is introduced into the cylinder 2 through the air intake component. At this time, the piston head 9 is pushed to move under the action of air pressure, and the piston head 9 drives the piston rod 5 to move. When the piston rod 5 moves to the annular groove 16 and is aligned with the L-shaped frame 17, the L-shaped frame 17 is moved under the action of the magnetic component so that the L-shaped frame 17 is inserted into the annular groove 16, thereby fixing the piston rod 5. After the cylinder is de-energized, the piston rod 5 is self-locked to prevent the piston rod 5 from sliding down under the action of gravity, thereby improving the safety of the cylinder.

[0022] In the present invention, the air intake component is a first L-shaped air passage 11, which is opened in the rear end cover 1, one end of the first L-shaped air passage 11 is connected to the cylinder 2, and the other end of the first L-shaped air passage 11 is open upward, and the pneumatic joint 3 is connected to the first L-shaped air passage 11. When in use, air is blown into the first L-shaped air passage 11 through the pneumatic joint 3 on the rear end cover 1, and the gas enters the cylinder 2 through the first L-shaped air passage 11. The elastic component is a spring 10, which is set in the cylinder 2. The two ends of the spring 10 are respectively fixed to the rear end cover 1 and the piston head 9. When the piston head 9 pushed by the air pressure moves, the piston head 9 will stretch the spring 10. The blowing component includes a second L-shaped air passage 13, a second L-shaped air passage 14, and a second L-shaped air passage 15. The air passage 13 is opened in the front cover 4, one end of the second L-shaped air passage 13 is connected to the slide groove 14, the other end of the second L-shaped air passage 13 is upwardly open, and the pneumatic joint 3 is connected to the second L-shaped air passage 13, and a cylinder 15 is welded to the bottom of the L-shaped frame 17, and the cylinder 15 is inserted into the second L-shaped air passage 13. When the cylinder is used up, air is blown into the second L-shaped air passage 13 through the pneumatic joint 3 on the front cover 4. At this time, the air pressure will push the cylinder 15 to move out of the second L-shaped air passage 13, and the cylinder 15 will push the L-shaped frame 17 to move in the slide groove 14, so that the L-shaped frame 17 is separated from the annular groove 16. At this time, under the action of the spring 10, the piston head 9 will be pulled to reset, thereby resetting the piston rod 5;

[0023] In particular, the magnetic assembly includes a second magnetic block 18, which is embedded in the top of the L-shaped frame 17, and the top of the slide groove 14 is embedded with the first magnetic block 12, and the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18 repel each other. When the annular groove 16 on the piston rod 5 moves to align with the L-shaped frame 17, the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18 repel each other. Therefore, under the action of the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18, the L-shaped frame 17 will move so that the L-shaped frame 17 is inserted into the annular groove 16. At the same time, under the action of the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18, the L-shaped frame 17 will be stably inserted into the annular groove 16. A plurality of pull rods 8 are provided between the rear end cover 1 and the front end cover 4, and the cylinder barrel 2 is located between the plurality of pull rods 8. The rear end cover 1 and the front end cover 4 are fixed to a fixing frame 6 on the opposite side by bolts, and two mounting holes 7 are provided at the bottom of the fixing frame 6.

[0024] Working principle: When it is needed, air is blown into the first L-shaped air channel 11 through the pneumatic connector 3 on the rear end cover 1, and the gas enters the cylinder 2 through the first L-shaped air channel 11. At this time, the piston head 9 is pushed to move under the action of air pressure, and the piston head 9 drives the piston rod 5 to move. The piston head 9 will stretch the spring 10 during the movement. When the annular groove 16 on the piston rod 5 moves to be aligned with the L-shaped frame 17, the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18 repel each other. Therefore, under the action of the first magnetic block 12 and the second magnetic block 18, the L-shaped frame 17 will move and be inserted into the annular groove 16, thereby fixing the piston rod 5. After the cylinder is cut off from air, the piston rod 5 will be self-locked to prevent the piston rod 5 from sliding under the action of gravity, thereby improving the safety of the cylinder.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral structures; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
