[0045] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0046] Example 1
[0047] Combined with attachment Figure 1-7 This embodiment provides a composite piston, comprising: a support frame 1; a plurality of through holes 11 provided in the support frame 1; a rubber package 2 wrapped inside and outside the support frame 1; a plurality of rubber columns 3 correspondingly located in the plurality of through holes 11; wherein the plurality of rubber columns 3 are all connected to the rubber package 2.
[0048] Specifically, the support skeleton 1 is used to carry the rubber package 2 to increase the overall strength of the composite piston of the present application. The material of the support skeleton 1 can be aluminum alloy, stainless steel or other metals; the rubber package 2 is used to form the composite piston of the present application together with the support skeleton 1, etc., while ensuring that the volume of the composite piston of the present application remains unchanged, it has a smaller weight, thereby making the weight of the related hydraulic cylinder smaller, and thus making the installation of the related hydraulic cylinder convenient. At the same time, the support skeleton 1 is convenient to ensure high strength; a number of through holes 11 are used to carry a number of rubber columns 3. Since the several rubber columns 3 are all connected to the rubber package 2, it is convenient to increase the contact area between the rubber package 2 and the support skeleton 1, thereby facilitating the increase of the connection firmness between the two; wherein, the specific materials of the rubber columns 3 and the rubber package 2 can be silicone rubber, fluororubber, etc.
[0049] Further, such as Figure 2 The rubber package 2 includes a first package 21 that is sleeved inside the support frame 1 and a second package 22 that is sleeved outside the support frame 1. The first package 21 and the second package 22 are connected, and the rubber columns 3 are connected to both the first package 21 and the second package 22. Specifically, the first package 21 serves as the inner layer of the composite piston of the present application, while the second package 22 serves as the outer layer of the composite piston of the present application.
[0050] Further, such as Figure 2 The rubber package 2 also includes: a third package 23 connected to one end of the support frame 1; a fourth package 24 connected to the other end of the support frame 1; wherein the third package 23 is connected to one end of the first package 21 and one end of the second package 22, the fourth package 24 is connected to the other end of the first package 21 and the other end of the second package 22, one end of several rubber columns 3 is connected to the third package 23, and the other end of several rubber columns 3 is connected to the fourth package 24.
[0051] Specifically, the third enclosure 23 is used to wrap one end of the support frame 1 ; the fourth enclosure 24 is used to wrap the other end of the support frame 1 .
[0052] Further, such as Figure 2The connection between the first package 21, the second package 22, the third package 23, the fourth package 24 and the plurality of rubber columns 3 is an injection molding connection. Specifically, the injection molding connection facilitates the connection of the first package 21, the second package 22, the third package 23, the fourth package 24 and the plurality of rubber columns 3 to have good integrity; during injection molding, the support frame 1 is first placed in the injection mold and supported by the plurality of solid rubber columns so that there is a gap between the support frame 1 and the bottom of the injection mold, and then the fluid rubber is poured into the injection mold so that the fluid rubber completely wraps the support frame 1 and the fluid rubber and the plurality of solid rubber columns are fully combined into one. After a preset time, the mold is demolded to obtain the composite piston of the present application, wherein the number of the plurality of solid rubber columns is not limited and can be eight, ten, etc., and the plurality of solid rubber columns are evenly distributed along the circumference of the support frame 1, so that the force on the bottom of the support frame 1 is uniform, preventing the support frame 1 from moving during injection molding, and ensuring a good injection molding effect.
