Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of double-piston gas springs, in particular to a double-piston gas spring. Background Art

[0002] As a key component widely used in furniture, automobiles, medical equipment and other fields, the performance stability and service life of gas springs are directly related to the overall quality of the product and user experience.

[0003] The reference patent (publication number: CN214742958U; publication date: 2021-11-16) discloses a double-piston gas spring in the field of gas springs, including a cylinder body, a piston rod installed at the lower end of the cylinder body, the piston rod and the cylinder body are slidably connected, a bottom plate is installed at the lower end of the piston rod, and a lower sliding plate is installed at the upper end of the piston rod. Pistons are installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the lower sliding plate, and the upper end of the piston is connected to the upper sliding plate. The upper front end of the cylinder body is connected to the air intake pipe, and the inner end of the air intake pipe is connected to the cylinder body; the spring performs elastic movement, and the fixed plate squeezes the piston rod to prevent leakage of gas inside the cylinder body, does not affect the operation of the device, and brings convenience; by unscrewing the locking bolt, the connecting plate is opened, and the inside of the cylinder body is cleaned to avoid dust pollution inside, does not affect the operation of the device, and improves the service life of the device.

[0004] Two sets of piston rods are set inside the double-piston gas spring, which are respectively connected to the telescopic rod and the inner wall of the cylinder to ensure stability during extension and contraction. The double-piston gas spring is filled with high-pressure inert gas or oil-gas mixture in a closed pressure cylinder, and uses the pressure difference generated by the difference in cross-sectional area between the piston seat and the piston to push the telescopic rod to move.

[0005] Based on the above patent, when the existing double-piston gas spring is used in the later stage, after the telescopic rod slides outward from the inside of the cylinder, the outer wall of the telescopic rod is generally directly exposed to the outside of the air. Therefore, dust in the air often adheres to the outer wall of the telescopic rod, causing dust accumulation. As the dust accumulates, when the telescopic rod is retracted in the later stage, dust can easily enter the interior of the equipment, causing damage to the cylinder body, making it inconvenient to clean. In addition, when the piston seat of the double-piston gas spring is compressed and slides inside the cylinder body, it will come into direct contact with the inner wall of the cylinder, generating a large collision force and friction. The direct metal collision will not only cause damage to the inner wall of the cylinder, but also accelerate the wear of the piston seat and the cylinder body. For this reason, the present invention provides a double-piston gas spring. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a double-piston gas spring, which solves the problem that in the existing double-piston gas spring, when the telescopic rod slides outward from the inside of the cylinder, the outer wall of the telescopic rod is generally directly exposed to the air. Therefore, dust in the air often adheres to the outer wall of the telescopic rod and causes dust accumulation. As the dust accumulates, when the telescopic rod is later contracted, the dust easily enters the interior of the equipment, causing damage to the cylinder body, making it inconvenient to clean. In addition, when the piston seat of the double-piston gas spring is compressed and slides inside the cylinder body, it will come into direct contact with the inner wall of the cylinder, generating a large collision force and friction. The direct metal collision will not only cause damage to the inner wall of the cylinder, but also accelerate the wear of the piston seat and the cylinder body.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: A double-piston gas spring includes a cylinder body, on which a telescopic mechanism for the double-piston gas spring is provided, the telescopic mechanism including:

[0008] The buffer assembly includes a cavity formed inside the cylinder body, an inner wall of the cavity being provided with a piston seat connected via a piston assembly, a side wall of the piston seat being fixedly connected to a damping spring, an end of the damping spring being fixedly connected to a limit plate, and a telescopic rod being slidably connected to the interior of the cavity;

[0010] Preferably, a first rubber ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate, and one end of the telescopic rod passes through the interior of the first rubber ring and is fixedly connected to the limiting plate.

[0011] Preferably, a damping rod is provided inside the shock-absorbing spring, one end of the damping rod is fixedly connected to the piston seat, and a second rubber ring is fixedly connected to the edge of the outer wall of the piston seat.

[0012] Preferably, the piston assembly comprises two piston rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the telescopic ends of the piston rods are fixedly connected to the piston seat.

[0013] Preferably, the movable component includes an annular groove opened inside the mounting ring, a slider is slidably connected inside the annular groove, the side wall of the slider is movably connected to a connecting shaft, the other end of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cylinder body, and the mounting ring forms a rotating structure with the cylinder body through the annular groove, the slider and the connecting shaft.

[0014] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the annular bracket, the mounting plate is attached to the side wall of the mounting ring, bolts are provided inside the mounting plate, and an air inlet for air intake is provided outside the cylinder body.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] The utility model provides a double-piston gas spring. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0017] First, the utility model engages the annular bracket inside the mounting ring, and then the mounting plate is fitted on the side wall of the mounting ring and locked by bolts. The cleaning cotton on the inner wall of the annular bracket is fitted on the outer wall of the telescopic rod and is used for cleaning when the telescopic rod and the cylinder body are telescopically slid. As the telescopic rod is telescopically slid, the cleaning cotton can effectively wipe off the dust and impurities on the outer wall of the telescopic rod to avoid entering the interior of the cylinder, thereby protecting the internal structure and function of the cylinder body and extending the service life of the gas spring. At the same time, the mounting ring is movable with the cylinder body through the annular groove, the slider and the connecting shaft, and is used to manually rotate the mounting ring to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning cotton on the outer wall of the telescopic rod, and the annular bracket can be disassembled and separated from the mounting ring by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning of the cleaning cotton.

[0018] Secondly, the limit plate provided in the present invention performs shock absorption and buffering on the piston seat through the shock-absorbing spring and the damping support rod. When the piston seat is compressed and slides inside the cylinder body, it buffers when it contacts the inner wall of the cylinder body, absorbs part of the impact energy, and reduces the collision force when the piston seat contacts the inner wall of the cylinder body, thereby protecting the inner wall of the cylinder from damage and extending the service life of the gas spring. At the same time, the first rubber ring on the limit plate and the cylinder body perform contact buffering. The soft material of the rubber ring can effectively reduce the direct friction between metal parts, thereby reducing wear and extending the service life of the gas spring, and ensuring close contact between the telescopic rod and the cylinder body to prevent gas leakage or external impurities from entering.
