DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model provides a powerful clamping cylinder with a clamping and one-way pressure-maintaining function, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a strong clamping cylinder base 1, a cylinder barrel 2 is provided in the middle of its upper end, and a sealing connector 7 is provided on the inner side of the cylinder barrel 2 at the upper end of the strong clamping cylinder base 1. The outer end surface of the sealing connector 7 is in contact with the inner end surface of the cylinder barrel 2. The sealing connector 7 is a rubber material component, which can effectively increase the sealing performance of the installation of the strong clamping cylinder base 1 and the cylinder barrel 2;

[0021] An upper cylinder cover 6 is provided at the upper end of the cylinder barrel 2, and the strong clamping cylinder base 1 is connected to the upper cylinder cover 6 by a long rod screw 3. A shell 4 is provided on the outside of the upper end of the upper cylinder cover 6, and a sensor assembly 17 is provided on one side of the outer end surface of the shell 4. A mounting protrusion 9 is provided at the lower end of the upper cylinder cover 6, and a sealing gasket 10 is provided on the outer end surface of the mounting protrusion 9. The outer end surface of the sealing gasket 10 is fitted with the inner end surface of the cylinder barrel 2. The sealing gasket 10 is a rubber component, which can effectively increase the sealing performance of the installation of the upper cylinder cover 6 and the cylinder barrel 2.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, an output shaft 5 and a rack connector 12 are provided inside the housing 4. The output shaft 5 is provided on one side of the rack connector 12, and the output shaft 5 and the rack connector 12 are transmission-connected via a connecting plate 13. An elliptical hole 20 is provided at the upper end of the rack connector 12. A rotary connector 18 is provided at one end of the output shaft 5. A connecting rod 19 is provided on the outer end surface of the connecting plate 13 away from the rotary connector 18. The upper end of the rack connector 12 is processed into an inclined surface on the side close to the rotary connector 18.

[0023] Conventional cylinders have an oval hole 20 and a flat surface on one side of the upper end of the rack connector 12. Consequently, when the cylinder is in upward motion, there is only one clamping position, making it impossible to clamp plates of varying thicknesses. The present invention, however, incorporates an oval hole 20 and an inclined surface, creating an adjustable clamping position. This allows for a wide range of workpiece thickness variations, enabling the clamping of plates of varying thicknesses. This powerful clamping cylinder provides a compensating function, meeting customer design requirements for flexibility.

[0024] Then, if Figure 2 and 3 As shown, a piston rod 14 is provided inside the cylinder 2, and the piston rod 14 passes through the mounting protrusion 9 and the upper cylinder cover 6. The rack connecting member 12 is provided at the top of the piston rod 14 and extends into the interior of the piston rod 14. A mounting block 16 is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 14. The mounting block 16 is provided inside the housing 4, and a pressing tooth 11 and a pressing block 15 are provided inside the mounting block 16. The pressing tooth 11 is slidably connected to the mounting block 16, and the pressing block 15 is threadedly connected to the mounting block 16. The pressing block 15 is rotatably connected to the pressing tooth 11, and the pressing tooth 11 is engaged with the gear teeth on the outer wall of the rack connecting member 12;

[0025] Different engagement lengths can be adjusted between the rack connector 12 and the piston rod 14. After the adjustment is completed, the pressure block 15 is twisted to drive the pressure tooth 11 to move, so that the pressure tooth 11 engages with the rack connector 12, making it easy to adjust the clamping cylinder to the desired opening angle and achieve infinitely adjustable angle.

[0026] Finally, if Figure 2 As shown, the utility model further provides a pilot-operated one-way valve 8 in the air circuit at the bottom of the strong clamping cylinder base 1, so that the clamping cylinder can still maintain the clamping state when the air circuit loses pressure, thereby ensuring the safety of customer use.
