Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to hydraulic cylinder technology, specifically a safety buffer device for a large hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic cylinders are widely used industrial automation devices. They are hydraulic actuators that convert hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, performing linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion). They are simple in structure and reliable in operation. When used to achieve reciprocating motion, they eliminate the need for a speed reduction device and have no transmission backlash, resulting in smooth movement. Therefore, they are widely used in the hydraulic systems of various machines.

[0003] When a hydraulic cylinder experiences a sudden power outage during hydraulic operation, the hydraulic cylinder's oil supply system and electronic components such as solenoid valves will cease to function. At this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder will lock up. When the hydraulic cylinder is in a dead position, a gap will form between the piston and the cylinder wall, leading to oil leakage and pressure drop. Furthermore, prolonged stillness will cause the sealing elements to be subjected to additional pressure, resulting in aging, wear, or deformation, which in turn will cause oil leakage, thereby affecting the normal operation of the hydraulic system and the lifespan of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] Preferably, the fixing unit includes a mounting base and several spring seats. The mounting base is fixed to the piston rod or to the base plate by a locking pin. The several spring seats are evenly distributed on the mounting base, and the spring seats are fixed to the ends of the tension springs.

[0007] Preferably, the piston rod has an oil cavity on the side facing the base plate, and the two fixing units and several tension springs are all located in the oil cavity.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a large hydraulic cylinder safety buffer device is installed inside the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder includes a base plate 2, a cylinder body 1, and a piston rod 3. The base plate 2 is located at the bottom of the cylinder body 1. The bottom end of the piston rod 3 is located inside the cylinder body 1, and the top end of the piston rod 3 passes through a sealing ring 4. The sealing ring 4 is fixed to the top of the cylinder body 1. It includes two fixing units and several tension springs 9. The two fixing units are respectively located at the bottom of the piston rod 3 and the top of the base plate 2. The several tension springs 9 are evenly distributed between the two fixing units. The piston rod 3 is provided with a pressure relief pipe 14, and the top end of the pressure relief pipe 14 is threaded with a pressure relief bolt. The bottom side wall of the cylinder body 1 is provided with an oil inlet 13.

[0024] The large hydraulic cylinder safety buffer device in this embodiment uses a pressure relief pipe 14. When the power is off, the operator can manually unscrew the pressure relief bolt to discharge the hydraulic oil. In conjunction with the tension spring 9 set between the piston rod 3 and the base plate 2, it provides the power for the piston rod 3 to reset, so that the piston rod 3 can slowly return to the initial state when the power is off.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing unit includes a mounting base 7 and several spring seats 8. The mounting base 7 is fixed to the piston rod 3 or to the base plate 2 by a locking pin 16. Several spring seats 8 are evenly distributed on the mounting base 7, and the spring seats 8 are fixed to the ends of the tension springs 9.

[0026] The piston rod 3 has an oil chamber 12 on the side facing the base plate 2. Two fixing units and several tension springs 9 are located in the oil chamber 12. The oil chamber 12 can effectively utilize the space inside the piston rod 3 and cylinder 1, making the cylinder 1 structure compact and the stroke longer. At the same time, it can shorten the length of the pressure relief pipe 14 and reduce the processing difficulty.

[0027] Both sides of the cylinder body 1 are provided with lifting lugs 10; the lifting lugs 10 can facilitate the hoisting of the entire cylinder and the accurate movement of the cylinder to the installation position.

[0028] The cylinder body 1 is provided with a mounting flange 5 on its top; the mounting flange 5 is used to facilitate the installation of the cylinder body 1 on the mounting surface of the machine tool, base, etc.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
