Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A gas spring with overload protection function, including gas spring main body 1 provided with overload protection device, the inside of gas spring main body 1 is provided with retractable piston rod 11, piston rod 11 front end fixedly connected with top 12, gas spring main body 1 outer surface fixedly provided with sleeve 13 with adjustable function, sleeve 13 outer wall is provided with thread, overload protection device includes end and tail, tail is connected with sleeve 13 by screw thread, and the position of overload protection is adjusted by screw thread mode, the distance between end and gas spring main body 1 output is less than the distance between top 12 and gas spring main body 1 output, the distance is the distance between top 12 and overload protection device end when top 12 loses control and rebounds when gas spring main body 1 main body inside reaches limit due to external force, so as to achieve overload protection effect, when using, when piston rod 11 in the inside of gas spring main body 1 is overloaded, the pressure in the inside of gas spring main body 1 reaches limit value, then it will cause piston rod 11 to rebound, the overload protection device located at the rear end of top 12 plays a role, and the overload protection block 3 of the end of overload protection device can limit support rebounding top 12, prevent it from further compressing and hitting cylinder body, and also can avoid that the pressure in the inside of cylinder body cannot be released, so as to damage cylinder body, cause cylinder body and support to be damaged, so as to achieve overload protection effect.

[0027] Further, the tail of the overload protection device is a nut-shaped connecting piece 2, the inner wall of which is provided with internal threads 21 that are threadedly adapted to the sleeve 13. The connecting piece 2 is a nut-like structural member, and the threads provided on the inner wall thereof are adapted to the threads on the outer surface of the sleeve 13. In use, the connecting piece 2 is screwed into the sleeve 13 from the rear end of the air spring body 1, so that the connecting piece 2 is installed. By screwing the connecting piece 2, the position of the connecting piece 2 can be adjusted, so that the position of the overload protection block 3 can be flexibly adjusted, and the position of the overload protection can be arbitrarily changed. This prevents the limiting device from prematurely interfering, limiting the normal elastic extension and contraction range of the air spring, and reducing the working efficiency. Therefore, the device is suitable for various working conditions.

[0028] Further, the outer wall of the connecting piece 2 is annularly fixedly connected with a plurality of fixed blocks 22. In use, the plurality of fixed blocks 22 are annularly distributed, which is conducive to supporting the overload protection block 3 and increasing the stability thereof.

[0029] Further, the end surface of the fixed block 22 is fixedly connected with a fixed rod 23, and the front end of the fixed rod 23 is fixedly connected with the end of the overload protection device. In use, the fixed rod 23 is arranged according to the number and position of the fixed blocks 22, and also increases the stability of supporting the overload protection block 3.

[0030] Further, the end of the overload protection device is an annular overload protection block 3. In use, the annular overload protection block 3 is adapted to the circular air spring body 1, and has a certain aesthetic appearance.

[0031] Further, the inside of the overload protection block 3 is a hollow structure. In use, the hollow part in the center of the overload protection block 3 can facilitate the extension and contraction of the piston rod 11.

[0032] Further, the diameter of the overload protection block 3 is smaller than that of the top 12. In use, when the top 12 rebounds out of control, the overload protection block 3 can support the top 12, thereby forming overload protection.

[0033] Further, the end surface of the overload protection block 3 is fixedly provided with a rubber gasket 31. In use, the rubber gasket 31 is located on the end surface of the overload protection block 3.
