Furthermore, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the application are for descriptive purposes only.
[0039] First embodiment
[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides an underwater hydraulic hoist, comprising a power assembly, a hydraulic cylinder, a flexible protective assembly, and a filter assembly. The power assembly includes a hydraulic pump and an oil tank. The hydraulic cylinder includes a cylinder body 32, an end cap 33, a piston rod 34, and a piston. One end of the piston rod 34 is sealed to the cylinder body 32 via the end cap 33, and the other end extends out of the hydraulic cylinder to form an external action portion. The tail end of the external action portion is provided with a lifting lug 35.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the flexible protective assembly includes a flexible protective sleeve 51 and connecting covers, which include a front cover 52 and a rear cover 53. One end of the flexible protective sleeve 51 is sealed to the ear 35 on the outer portion of the piston rod 34 via the front cover 52, and the other end is sealed to the end cover 33 via the rear cover 53. The flexible protective sleeve 51 is a retractable structure with a certain strength. The flexible protective assembly, the end cover of the cylinder body, and the outer portion of the piston rod 34 are sealed together to form a flexible chamber. The flexible chamber contains water, and its volume can expand or contract with the movement of the piston rod 34.
[0042] In other embodiments not shown, the flexible protective sleeve may not be provided with a connecting cover, and one end may be directly and sealedly connected to the piston rod connector, and the other end may be directly and sealedly connected to the end cover or cylinder body, which can also form a sealed flexible chamber and serve to isolate it from external water bodies.
[0043] like Figure 3-4 As shown, a filter assembly is mounted on the cylinder body 32. The filter assembly comprises a primary filter 41, a secondary filter 42, a check valve 43, and a pipeline. The primary filter inlet 41 is provided with a water inlet and outlet. Check valves 43 are positioned at the inlet and outlet of the primary filter 41, and are arranged in opposite directions to form an inlet check valve and an outlet check valve. These valves are used to prevent aquatic organisms such as shellfish and algae from entering the filter when the hydraulic cylinder is not operating. One end of the secondary filter 42 is connected to the primary filter 41 via a pipeline. The other end, serving as the filter outlet, is sealed via a pipeline to a water hole provided in the rear cover 53, thereby communicating with the flexible chamber.
[0044] In other embodiments not shown, the filter assembly may not be provided, and the flexible protective cover may be directly and sealedly connected to the piston rod and the hydraulic cylinder. The flexible chamber contains water medium or other liquids. The flexible protective cover is made of rubber material and has good elasticity. When the piston rod performs telescopic movement, the flexible protective cover deforms accordingly following the movement of the piston rod.
[0045] The first filter 41 is provided with a filter screen to isolate and filter small aquatic organisms and garbage in the water, and the second filter 42 is provided with a diaphragm to filter heavy metals, calcium and other substances that are easily attached and accumulated in the water body, thereby softening the water quality.
[0046] Driven by the internal and external pressure differential, check valve 43 at the water inlet allows liquid to flow into the filter assembly while restricting outflow. Check valve 43 at the water outlet allows liquid to flow out of the filter assembly while restricting inflow. The check valves ensure that the filter only exchanges water with the outside world when the flexible chamber expands or contracts, thus avoiding unnecessary filter operation that could reduce its actual service life. After water passes through the filter assembly, impurities are reduced or even eliminated, ensuring continuous contact between piston rod 34 and clean water. This prevents or mitigates damage to the piston rod 34 caused by scaling and rusting, thereby extending its service life.
[0047] When the oil cylinder contracts, the water medium in the flexible bin passes through the primary and secondary filters. The flow of water can drive the filtered substances to move in the reverse direction and leave the filters, playing a reverse flushing function and achieving the effect of extending the service life.
[0048] In other embodiments not shown, the filter assembly can be configured as a filter, one end of which is sealedly connected to the flexible protective assembly via a pipe or directly, and the other end of which has an inlet check valve 43 and an outlet check valve 43 arranged in opposite directions. The inlet check valve 43 and the outlet check valve 43 control the flow of water in the filter through a one-way action, thereby achieving internal and external pressure balance between the filter and the water environment and preventing unnecessary water exchange.
[0049] In the underwater hydraulic gate opening and closing machine of this embodiment, when the piston rod 2 needs to be extended, the hydraulic cylinder is driven by the hydraulic pump to act on the piston rod 34 to extend. At this time, the volume of the flexible chamber formed between the hydraulic cylinder, the external acting part of the piston rod 34 and the flexible protection component increases, the internal pressure of the flexible chamber and the filter decreases, and the water flows into the flexible chamber through the inlet check valve and is replenished to the flexible chamber after being filtered by the first and second level filters 42; when the piston rod 2 needs to be retracted, the hydraulic cylinder drives the piston rod 34 to contract, the volume of the flexible chamber formed between the piston rod 34 and the flexible protection component decreases, the internal pressure increases, and the water in the flexible chamber is discharged through the outlet check valve 43 through the first and second level filters 42, thus re-establishing a relative balance between the internal and external pressures. During this process, the piston rod 34 is always in contact with the filtered water through the action of the flexible protection component and the filter component, and is not affected by external water impurities or aquatic organisms.
[0050] like Figure 1 and 6 As shown, the underwater hydraulic gate hoist in this embodiment includes a cable assembly 6, which includes a cable 61, a breathing tube 62, and a protective layer 63. The breathing tube 62 and the cable are disposed together within the protective layer 63. When the cable 61 is connected, it controls the operation of the power assembly. The first end of the breathing tube is connected to the oil tank, and the second end is connected to the water surface to communicate with the outside air. When the power assembly is operating, the gate hoist is disposed underwater, and the air pressure in its oil tank will tend to change with the movement of the gate hoist. Under the action of the breathing tube and the external air pressure, the pressure can be kept constant.
[0051] Regarding the overall configuration of the breathing tube 62, in other embodiments not shown, the breathing tube 62 can be separately encased in the outer layer of the cable. Regarding the port connection of the breathing tube 62, in other embodiments not shown, a gas filter can be installed at the second end of the breathing tube 62 to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the fuel tank during intake and exhaust, thereby ensuring service life while achieving the effect of balancing the internal and external pressures of the fuel tank.
[0052] Second embodiment
[0053] The structure of this embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, except that Figure 7-8In this embodiment, a guide assembly 7 is formed at the connection position between the hydraulic cylinder end cover 33 and the cylinder body 32. The guide assembly 7 includes an end cover and a guide sleeve. The piston rod is telescopically connected to the hydraulic cylinder via the guide assembly. The end cover part and the guide sleeve part of the guide assembly 7 are respectively provided with sealing grooves 71, and a sealing ring 72 is respectively provided in the sealing grooves 71.
[0054] Figure 8 The sealing ring 72 on the right side of the center is responsible for maintaining internal pressure to prevent hydraulic oil leakage. The sealing ring 72 on the left side is used to withstand the liquid pressure from the flexible chamber outside the hydraulic cylinder and the water body at a certain depth, preventing the liquid in the flexible chamber from entering the hydraulic cylinder and causing pressure relief and damage. The two sealing rings 72 provide a bidirectional seal. In other embodiments not shown, both sealing rings can also be provided on the guide assembly formed by the guide sleeve.
[0055] In addition, the power assembly 74 of this embodiment also includes a hydraulic pump and an oil tank, and a sealed cabin 75 is provided on the outside. One end of the cable assembly 6 is connected to the sealed cabin, and the other end extends above the water surface. The cable assembly includes a cable, a breathing tube and a protective layer. The breathing tube and the cable are arranged together in the protective layer, thereby realizing the connection between the sealed cabin and the oil tank and the outside world and air pressure compensation.
[0056] The above describes the specific embodiments of the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of the technical concept of this utility model.
