[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-6The utility model is a nitrogen spring over-pressure and over-stroke protection mechanism, comprising a cylinder body 1 and an over-pressure protection assembly 6. The inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 is slidably connected to a piston 2, the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 is fixedly connected to a cylinder bottom 3, the inner cavity of the cylinder bottom 3 is threadedly connected to a screw plug 4, the inner cavity of the cylinder bottom 3 is fixedly connected to an inflation valve 5, a groove is provided on the top of the cylinder bottom 3, an air guide groove 7 is provided on the right side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove, an air guide hole 8 is provided on the bottom of the inner cavity of the air guide groove 7, and the right side of the inner cavity of the piston 2 is fixedly connected to a pneumatic valve 5. The telescopic rod 9 and the overpressure protection assembly 6 include a sealing plate 601, the bottom of the sealing plate 601 is fixedly connected to a fixing column 602, the bottom of the sealing plate 601 is movably connected to a fixing ring 603, the side of the fixing ring 603 close to the inner wall of the air guide groove 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air guide groove 7, the bottom of the sealing plate 601 is movably connected to four movable blocks 604, the inner cavity of the movable block 604 is movably connected to a fixing rod 605 through an axle pin, and the bottom of the fixing rod 605 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air guide groove 7.

[0027] Specifically: nitrogen is injected into the inner cavity of the cylinder 1 through the inflation valve 5. When the nitrogen is injected, the bottom of the inflation valve 5 is sealed by the screw plug 4. When the piston 2 is subjected to too much extrusion pressure, the bottom of the pneumatic telescopic rod 9 will contact the side opposite to the surface of the four movable blocks 604, and squeeze the movable block 604, so that the other side of the movable block 604 is tilted. When the other end of the movable block 604 is tilted, the sealing plate 601 is pushed upward. When the sealing plate 601 is pushed upward, it will drive the fixed column 602 and the sealing block 607 to move upward. At this time, the gas inside the cylinder 1 is discharged from the cylinder 1 through the air guide groove 7 and the air guide hole 8, thereby preventing the internal pressure of the cylinder 1 from being too high and causing a cylinder explosion.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] See also Figure 1-6On the basis of the first embodiment, an annular groove is provided on the top of the fixing ring 603, and the inner cavity of the annular groove is movably connected to the first sealing ring 606. The top of the first sealing ring 606 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 601, and the bottom of the sealing plate 601 is fixedly connected to three limiting rods 608. The bottom of the limiting rod 608 is fixedly connected to a movable plate 609. The surface of the movable plate 609 is movably connected to a shell 611. The bottom of the shell 611 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air guide groove 7. The bottom of the movable plate 609 is fixedly connected to a tension spring 610. The bottom of the tension spring 610 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 611. The shell 611 A through hole is provided at the top, and the inner cavity of the through hole is slidably connected to the limit rod 608. The bottom of the fixed column 602 is fixedly connected to a sealing block 607, and the side of the sealing block 607 close to the inner wall of the air guide hole 8 is sealed with the inner wall of the air guide hole 8.

The bottom of the movable ring 12 is fixedly connected to six springs 13, and the bottom of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the cylinder bottom 3.

[0030] Specifically: by setting a first sealing ring 606 inside the annular groove, the sealing effect of the sealing plate 601 is improved; by setting the limit rod 608, the movable plate 609, the tension spring 610 and the shell 611 for use in combination, the tension spring 610 cooperates with the shell 611 to pull the movable plate 609 and the limit rod 608 downward, and the limit rod 608 makes the sealing of the sealing plate 601 better during the downward movement; by setting a through hole, the movement of the limit rod 608 is facilitated; by setting a sealing block 607, the sealing block 607 plays a secondary sealing role on the inside of the cylinder body 1 when it contacts the air guide hole 8; by setting a second sealing ring 10, the sealing performance of the piston 2 is increased; by setting the positioning rod 11, the movable ring 12 and the spring 13 for use in combination, when the piston 2 moves downward, the movable ring 12 and the spring 13 play a buffering role before the piston 2 exceeds the compression stroke.

[0031] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: nitrogen is injected into the inner cavity of the cylinder body 1 through the inflation valve 5. When the nitrogen injection is completed, the bottom of the inflation valve 5 is sealed by the screw plug 4. When the piston 2 is subjected to excessive extrusion pressure, the bottom of the pneumatic telescopic rod 9 will contact the side opposite to the surface of the four movable blocks 604, and squeeze the movable block 604, so that the other side of the movable block 604 is tilted. When the other end of the movable block 604 is tilted, the sealing plate 601 is pushed upward. When the sealing plate 601 is pushed upward, it will drive the fixed column 602 and the sealing block 607 to move upward. At this time, the gas inside the cylinder body 1 is discharged from the cylinder body 1 through the air guide groove 7 and the air guide hole 8, thereby preventing the internal pressure value of the cylinder body 1 from being too high and the cylinder explosion phenomenon from occurring.
