DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1The figure shows a cylinder sealing ring comprising a ring body 1, which is a rubber member having a rectangular longitudinal cross-section. For ease of illustration, the centerline of ring body 1 is vertically positioned. An annular groove 16 is defined on the top surface of ring body 1, within which is located an elastic metal ring 2. This elastic metal ring 2 supports ring body 1 and improves the sealing stability of the outer ring of ring body 1 against the cylinder.

[0026] The structure of ring 1 is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a lower ring body 11 and an upper ring body 12 that are arranged adjacent to each other. The outer diameter of the upper ring body 12 is larger than that of the lower ring body 11. The annular groove 16 is provided in the upper ring body 12. The portion of the upper ring body 12 outside the annular groove 16 forms a sealing ear 13, which seals the cylinder. The structure of the annular groove 16 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the inner side wall 161 (the side wall close to the center of the ring body 1) is vertically arranged, and the outer side wall 162 (the side wall away from the center of the ring body) is inclined, so that the annular groove 16 is a tapered annular groove with the opening facing upward.

[0027] The elastic metal ring 2 is made of elastic steel sheet or copper sheet, and its shape corresponds to the ring groove 16. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the elastic metal ring 2 includes an inner ring 21 and an outer ring 22. The inner ring 21 is vertically arranged, while the outer ring 22 is inclined. The inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 are connected at their lower edges, forming an annular space with an upward opening. After installation, the inner ring 21 of the elastic metal ring 2 abuts the inner sidewall 161 of the annular groove 16, while the outer ring 22 abuts the outer sidewall 162 of the annular groove 16.

[0028] To facilitate the installation of the elastic metal ring 2 into the annular groove 16, a plurality of grooves 23 are uniformly formed along the circumference of the outer ring 22 of the elastic metal ring 2. The upper ends of the grooves 23 are open and extend beyond the upper edge of the outer ring 22, while the lower ends of the grooves 23 are closed and located at the junction of the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 of the elastic metal ring 2. The plurality of grooves 23 divide the outer ring of the elastic metal ring 2 into several sections, each of which is connected to the inner ring 21 to form a plurality of spring plates. Each spring plate can be deformed independently, thereby facilitating the installation of the elastic metal ring 2 into the annular groove 16. The formed plurality of spring plates also supports the annular groove 16, thereby improving the support of the elastic metal ring 2 for the upper ring body 12, thereby enhancing the sealing stability and sealing effect of the upper ring body 12 on the cylinder.

[0029] Furthermore, to enhance the installation stability of the elastic metal ring 2, several positioning protrusions 24 are provided on the upper portion of the inner ring 21 of the elastic metal ring 2, circumferentially outward (toward the center of the elastic metal ring). Positioning grooves 163 corresponding to these protrusions 24 are formed on the inner sidewall 161 of the annular groove 16, and the positioning protrusions 24 snap into place within these corresponding positioning grooves 163. Simultaneously, a raised ring 165 is integrally formed at the top of the outer sidewall 162 of the annular groove 16. A slot 164 corresponding to the outer ring 22 of the elastic metal ring 2 is provided at the bottom where the raised ring 165 and the outer sidewall 162 meet, and the top of the outer ring 22 is inserted into the slot 164. This structure enhances the installation stability of the elastic metal ring 2 and prevents it from falling out of the annular groove 16.

[0030] In the present invention, an anti-slip groove 15 is provided at the center of the inner ring of the ring body 1, which is matched and assembled with the clamping convex ring on the cylinder shaft to prevent the ring body 1 from sliding on the cylinder shaft, so as to achieve good sealing of the cylinder body in the present invention.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
