[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below.
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a top-expansion rotary cylinder includes a cylinder body 1, with a bottom end cap 2 and a side end cap 3 connected to both sides of the cylinder body 1. A piston rod 4 is disposed inside the cylinder body 1, and a piston head 5 is machined on the piston rod 4. A piston ring 6 and two sealing rings 7 are disposed between the piston head 5 and the cylinder body 1, with the two sealing rings 7 located on both sides of the piston ring 6. A sealing ring 8 is disposed between the side end cap 3 and the cylinder body 1, and a sealing ring 9 is disposed between the side end cap 3 and the piston rod 4. An air inlet 10 is machined on the cylinder body 1, located between the side end cap 3 and the piston head 5. An air inlet 11 is machined on the bottom end cap 2. The air inlet 10 and the air inlet 11 exchange air intake, causing the piston rod 4 to move inside the cylinder body 1.
[0018] The piston rod 4 has a shaft hole machined inside. A piston front cover 12 and a piston tail cover 13 are respectively installed at both ends of the shaft hole. A bearing is installed inside the shaft hole, and a rotating shaft 14 passes through the bearing. In this embodiment, the bearing includes a ball bearing 15 and a thrust bearing 16. A stepped hole one and a stepped hole two are machined at both ends of the shaft hole. The ball bearing 15 is installed in the stepped hole one, and the thrust bearing 16 is installed in the stepped hole two. A pull pad 17 is installed at the tail of the rotating shaft 14 to block the ball bearing 15. A retaining ring 18 and a shoulder 19 are provided at the front end of the rotating shaft 14 to fix the thrust bearing 16.
[0019] The rotating shaft 14 is provided with an expansion sleeve 20 at its front end. A spring 21 is provided between the expansion sleeve 20 and the rotating shaft 14. An expansion block 22 is provided around the expansion sleeve 20. A cone is machined at the front end of the rotating shaft 14 to fit with the cone surface of the expansion block 22. A T-shaped groove 23 is machined around the front end of the rotating shaft 14. A T-shaped seat 24 is machined at the mating surface between the expansion block 22 and the rotating shaft 14. The T-shaped seat 24 is inserted into the T-shaped groove 23.
[0020] The expansion sleeve 20 has a guide groove 25 machined on its side, and a guide screw 26 is installed at the front end of the rotating shaft 14. The guide screw 26 is inserted into the guide groove 25.
[0021] The top expansion sleeve 20 is machined with a baffle 27 at its tail. When the cylinder is working, the top expansion sleeve 20 is inserted into the tapered holes at both ends of the winding shaft. The baffle 27 blocks the top expansion sleeve 20, and the second air inlet 11 is vented, causing the piston rod 4 to move forward with the rotating shaft 14. The rotating shaft 14 pushes the top expansion block 22 outward and locks the winding shaft. When the equipment finishes working, the first air inlet 10 is vented, causing the piston rod 4 to move backward with the rotating shaft 14. The top expansion block 22 retracts and releases the winding shaft.
[0022] This utility model is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can still make some modifications or changes without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
