[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides an electric cylinder with a bidirectional buffer device, which mainly includes an electric cylinder body 1, a bidirectional buffer 2 and an accumulator 3.

[0036] The bidirectional buffer 2 includes a cylinder body 23 with a second oil chamber 232. The second piston rod 22 is mounted in the second oil chamber 232 of the cylinder body 23; the second piston rod 22 and the cylinder body 23 form a primary cylinder. A first oil chamber 221 is defined at the end of the second piston rod 22 away from the cylinder body 23. The first piston rod 21 is mounted in the first oil chamber 221 of the second piston rod 22; the first and second piston rods 21 and 22 form a secondary cylinder. The end of the first piston rod 21 is fixed to the bottom end of the electric cylinder body 1. The second piston rod 22 and the first piston rod 21 are coaxially arranged with the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder body 1.

[0037] During operation, the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder body 1 is connected to the component to be controlled, while the cylinder body 23 is relatively fixed. The first oil chamber 221 and the second oil chamber 232 are both connected to the accumulator 3 via a hydraulic oil pipe 31. The second oil chamber 232, the first oil chamber 221, and the accumulator 3 are filled with hydraulic oil at a certain pressure. The hydraulic oil in the second oil chamber 232 applies pressure to the second piston rod 22 in the opposite direction to the pressure applied by the hydraulic oil in the first oil chamber 221 on the first piston rod 21. The primary and secondary oil cylinders provide opposite buffering forces to the electric cylinder body 1, achieving a bidirectional buffering effect for the electric cylinder body 1.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Based on the above embodiment 1, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an implementation form of a cylinder body 23, a first piston rod 21 and a second piston rod 22.

[0040] The cylinder body 23 comprises a first cylindrical body 231, which is open on the left end and has a first bottom cover 233 fixed to the right end. A connecting lug 235 is fixed to the side of the first bottom cover 233 for secure connection to the base. A spacer cover 234 is fixed to the center of the inner wall of the first cylindrical body 231 and has a through hole in its center.

[0041] The second piston rod 22 includes a second piston 222, which is slidably mounted in the first cylinder 231. The second rod 223 slides through a through hole in the center of the spacer plate 234, and the inner end of the second rod 223 is fixedly connected to the second piston 222. A second oil chamber 232 is defined between the second piston 222 and the spacer plate 234. The hydraulic oil in the second oil chamber 232 provides the force for the second piston 222 to move rightward.

[0042] The outer end of the second rod body 223 is provided with a second cylinder body 224;

[0043] The right end of the second cylinder 224 is partially slidably mounted within the first cylinder 231. A second bottom cover 225 is secured to the right end of the second cylinder 224, and the outer end of the second rod 223 is fixedly connected to the center of the second bottom cover 225. A cover plate 226 is secured to the left end of the second cylinder 224, with a through hole defined in the center of the cover plate 226.

[0044] The first piston rod 21 includes a first piston 211, which is slidably mounted within the second cylinder 224. A first rod 212 slides through a through-hole in the center of the cover plate 226. The outer end of the first rod 212 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the electric cylinder body 1 via a flange 213, while the inner end of the first rod 212 is fixedly connected to the first piston 211. A first oil chamber 221 is located between the first piston 211 and the second bottom cover 225. The hydraulic oil in the first oil chamber 221 provides a force for the first piston 211 to move leftward.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during operation, when the tension and compression loads on the electric cylinder body are less than the set value, the first oil chamber 221 and the second oil chamber 232 are filled with hydraulic oil and achieve balance. At this time, the first piston rod 21 and the second piston rod 22 are both in the initial position, and the electric cylinder can achieve precise transmission.

[0047] When the pressure load exceeds the set value, the first piston rod 21 moves to the right, and the hydraulic oil in the first oil chamber 221 is pressed toward the accumulator by the first piston 211, achieving buffering through throttling;

[0048] When the tensile load exceeds the set value, the first piston rod 21 and the second piston rod 22 move leftward as a whole, and the hydraulic oil in the second oil chamber 232 is pressed toward the accumulator by the second piston 222, achieving buffering through throttling;

[0049] When the impact load decreases below the set value to the working load, the first piston rod 21 and the second piston rod 22 return to their initial positions under the action of the accumulator 3 .

[0050] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
