Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rescue and safety equipment, specifically to a dual-cylinder linkage hydraulic device. Background Technology
[0002] Earthquakes, mudslides, and other natural disasters are major events that seriously threaten human life and property. When these disasters occur, they often cause a large number of buildings to collapse instantly, trapping people in the rubble, making rescue work extremely urgent. In such emergency rescue scenarios, the currently widely used rescue methods and equipment have many drawbacks.
[0003] While traditional excavators, loaders, and other construction machinery have a certain advantage in rescue operations, their operational characteristics make them prone to causing rocks to slide when clearing rubble. This not only poses a significant risk of secondary injury to trapped individuals, such as being hit or buried by falling rocks, but can also damage the already unstable structure of the rubble, causing a more severe collapse, making the rescue work even more difficult, and even directly threatening the lives of rescue personnel.
[0004] In theory, hoisting can prevent horizontal movement of the stones and reduce the risk of secondary collapse. However, the actual situation after an earthquake is extremely complex, with mountains of debris and severely twisted and deformed building structures, making it extremely difficult to find a suitable location for the hoisting hook. Rescue workers often need to spend a lot of time painstakingly searching for safe and stable footholds in the rubble, which, in the race against time, could very likely cause trapped people to miss the best rescue opportunity, putting their lives at greater risk.
[0005] Manual excavation, while a basic rescue method and sometimes unavoidable, is inefficient and time-consuming. Rescuers, armed only with simple tools, struggle to dig through the rubble amidst vast amounts of debris and complex structures, resulting in slow progress. Furthermore, in unstable rubble structures, manual excavation itself can trigger further collapses, posing a serious threat to the lives of both trapped individuals and rescuers. It can also lead to missed opportunities during crucial rescue periods, resulting in rescue failure.
[0006] Hydraulic jacks are commonly used in rescue operations. However, they face numerous challenges in complex rubble environments. In narrow and complex spaces, their large size makes it difficult to position them correctly, hindering their hydraulic operation. In low-ceilinged spaces, their handles cannot be fully extended, making it difficult for operators to apply sufficient force. Even in larger spaces where jacks can be placed, uneven ground or smooth stone surfaces often cause slippage, making it difficult to find a stable fulcrum. This results in ineffective force transmission when lifting stones, leading to easy displacement. Even when a fulcrum is found, there may be concentrated stress, causing uneven stress on the rubble and potentially cracking walls, thus limiting the jack's lifting capacity.
[0007] Currently, one type of integrated hydraulic demolition tool, the electric spreader, exists in rescue equipment. While it is easy to carry and operate, and is commonly used to cut steel bars in metal and cement, helping to expand maneuverable space, its sharp cutting edges pose a serious safety hazard when rescuing trapped personnel. During the removal of rubble and obstacles, even slight carelessness could result in cuts to those being rescued, leading to a low safety factor, a high risk of secondary injuries, and hindering the smooth progress of rescue operations.
[0008] In conclusion, existing rescue methods and equipment have revealed numerous problems when facing complex earthquake rubble environments. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a compact rescue device capable of operating in confined spaces to improve rescue success rates, reduce secondary injuries, and buy more precious time to save the lives of trapped individuals.

[0035] Example:
[0036] A specific embodiment of this utility model provides a dual-cylinder linkage hydraulic device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0037] Axial hydraulic cylinders are used to realize the axial pushing function of hydraulic devices. Axial hydraulic cylinders are double-acting, double-piston rod cylinders with equal stroke and constant speed, possessing bidirectional pushing capability. They can precisely control the pushing and lowering actions to adapt to different needs. Several radial hydraulic cylinders are arranged on the side of the cylinder body; through the coordinated work of both, they can stably cope with complex rubble structures and rescue scenarios.
[0038] The radial hydraulic cylinder, located to the side of the axial hydraulic cylinder, is a double-acting, single-piston-rod type, with the piston rod capable of bidirectional movement. It is used to achieve the radial pushing function of the hydraulic device. Its main function is to ensure close contact with the inner wall of the rock during rescue operations, providing radial support and preventing the rock from shifting or sliding during axial pushing, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the rescue work.
[0039] The axial hydraulic cylinder includes an axial hydraulic cylinder head 1 and an axial cylinder barrel 2. The axial hydraulic cylinder head 1 is fixed to the end face of the axial cylinder barrel 2 by means of flange connection. This connection method is simple, strong and reliable, easy to process and assemble, and ensures the overall structural stability of the axial hydraulic cylinder.
[0040] An axial piston rod 6 is arranged in the axial cylinder 2. The axial piston rod 6 is a key component for realizing the axial pushing action, and its smooth sliding in the cylinder is essential for the normal operation of the device.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, an axial piston 8 is arranged on the axial piston rod 6. The axial piston 8 is tightly fitted with the axial piston rod 6. When hydraulic oil enters the corresponding chamber, the axial piston 8 drives the axial piston rod 6 to slide axially under the action of oil pressure, thereby realizing the pushing and retracting action of the axial hydraulic cylinder. The axial piston 8 is an important device that slides along the inner wall of the cylinder under the thrust of the oil, and it needs to be properly matched with the cylinder barrel 2 of the axial hydraulic cylinder. The diameter of the axial piston 8 is the same as the inner diameter of the axial cylinder barrel 2. The sealing method is a C-type skeleton oil seal, i.e., a vehicle-type combination seal, and the piston is an integral piston. The integral piston has grooves cut into its circumference to facilitate the installation of the sealing ring.
[0042] The axial piston 8 is fixed to the axial piston rod 6 by a stop pin 7. The connection between the axial piston 8 and the axial piston rod 6 is a threaded connection, with the stop pin 7 inserted in the middle to fix the axial piston 8 and prevent axial misalignment. The stop pin 7 effectively prevents the axial piston 8 from axially displacing or rotating during operation, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the piston rod movement and ensuring precise control of operation.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the axial cylinder 2 is divided into an axial oil inlet chamber 20 and an axial oil outlet chamber 21 by the axial piston 8. The axial oil inlet chamber 20 is connected to an axial oil inlet pipe 12. When pressurized oil is introduced into the axial oil inlet pipe 12, the oil enters the axial oil inlet chamber 20, pushing the axial piston rod 6 to extend outward, realizing the axial pushing function, which can lift stones upward during rescue.
[0044] The axial oil outlet chamber 21 is connected to the axial oil outlet pipe 13. When the reversing valve switches, the pressurized oil enters the axial oil outlet chamber 21 from the axial oil outlet pipe 13, which can drive the axial cylinder 2 to move in the opposite direction, causing the stone to fall back or perform other corresponding operations to meet the needs of different rescue stages.
[0045] Axial piston rod guide sleeves 9 are installed at the two ends of the axial hydraulic cylinder head 1 and axial cylinder barrel 2 that are not connected to each other. The axial piston rod guide sleeves 9 are bushing-type structures, installed at the ends of the axial hydraulic cylinder head 1 and axial cylinder barrel 2, providing precise guidance for the reciprocating motion of the axial piston rod 6. This ensures that the piston rod maintains good coaxiality during movement, reducing friction and wear, and improving the working efficiency and service life of the device. The axial piston rod 6 slides within the axial piston rod guide sleeve 9 to ensure the coaxiality of the outer circle of the axial piston rod 6 with the outer circle of the cylinder body. The axial piston rod guide sleeve 9 is a bushing type, and a sealing device is installed on the guide sleeve. A dustproof ring is installed on its outer side to prevent impurities and dust in the air from being brought to the seal when the piston rod finishes its stroke, which could shorten the life of the sealing device or even damage it. The guide sleeve 9 is threadedly connected to the axial hydraulic cylinder head 1.
[0046] A sealing device is installed on the guide sleeve 9 to effectively prevent hydraulic oil leakage. At the same time, a dustproof ring is also installed on the outside. When the piston rod finishes its work and exits its stroke, the dustproof ring can prevent impurities and dust in the air from being carried to the seal, avoiding damage to the sealing device due to impurities and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the device.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the radial hydraulic cylinder includes a radial hydraulic cylinder barrel 10 and a radial piston rod 11. The radial hydraulic cylinder barrel 10 is connected to the side of the axial hydraulic cylinder through a flange. A sealing ring is provided at the connection to ensure a firm connection and good sealing, prevent hydraulic oil leakage, and ensure that the radial hydraulic cylinder and the axial hydraulic cylinder can work together stably.
[0048] The radial piston rod 11 has a piston integrally formed on it. This integrated design enhances the integrity and reliability of the structure. It adopts a vehicle-type combined seal, and the sealing ring is installed in the circumferential groove of the piston to ensure good sealing performance. This allows the radial hydraulic cylinder to withstand greater working pressure and stably provide radial support force during rescue operations.
[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the radial hydraulic cylinder barrel 10 is connected to a third radial oil inlet pipe 16, and the other end of the third radial oil inlet pipe 16 is connected to a second radial oil inlet pipe 15. The second radial oil inlet pipe 15 is also connected to a first radial oil inlet pipe 14. Hydraulic oil enters the bottom of the radial hydraulic cylinder barrel 10 through this series of oil inlet pipes, pushing the radial piston rod 11 to extend outward and press against the inner wall of the stone, providing stable radial support for axial pushing.
[0050] The bottom of the radial hydraulic cylinder barrel 10 is also connected to a third radial oil outlet pipe 19. The other end of the third radial oil outlet pipe 19 is connected to a second radial oil outlet pipe 18. The second radial oil outlet pipe 18 is also connected to a first radial oil outlet pipe 17. When the radial piston rod 11 needs to retract, pressurized oil enters from the oil outlet pipe, causing the piston rod to retract and complete a working cycle. This design of the oil inlet and outlet pipes enables precise control of the radial piston rod movement and adapts to the operational needs of different rescue scenarios.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the dual-cylinder linkage hydraulic device also includes a support device, which is connected to the axial hydraulic cylinder. The support device includes a universal joint 4, which is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is bolted to the bottom of the axial piston rod 6, effectively restricting the degree of freedom of the axial piston rod and keeping it stable during the pushing process. The lower part is bolted to the support foot 5.
[0052] The bottom of the support foot 5 is provided with a protrusion, which can effectively prevent slipping on uneven ground. The pivots are fixed with bolts and nuts and shims are added to ensure that the pivots can rotate smoothly. This allows the entire device to remain stable under different terrain conditions, providing a reliable support foundation for the device to work effectively in complex rubble rescue environments, ensuring the smooth progress of rescue operations, and improving rescue efficiency and safety.
[0053] In actual earthquake rescue scenarios, the working process of this dual-cylinder linkage hydraulic device is as follows:
[0054] First, rescuers adjust the position and angle of the device according to the location and shape of the rubble stones, so that the axial cylinder 2 is close to the stone that needs to be pushed, and ensure that the support foot 5 is in stable contact with the ground. Through the adaptive adjustment of the universal joint 4, it adapts to the uneven ground conditions.
[0055] Next, pressurized oil is introduced into the oil inlet pipe of the radial hydraulic cylinder through the first radial oil inlet pipe 14, the second radial oil inlet pipe 15, and the third radial oil inlet pipe 16 in sequence, causing the radial piston rod 11 to extend outward until the end of the piston rod is in close contact with the inner wall of the stone. Through the adaptive design of the radial hydraulic cylinder, it is ensured that the piston rod is fully in contact with the inner wall of the stone, providing sufficient friction and support force to prevent the stone from sliding or deviating during the subsequent axial pushing process.
[0056] Then, pressurized oil is introduced into the axial hydraulic cylinder's inlet pipe, i.e., the axial inlet pipe 12. The pressurized oil enters the axial inlet chamber 20, pushing the axial piston rod 6 to the left. Here, the pushing direction is set to the left, causing the stone to rise and realizing the axial pushing function. During the pushing process, the axial piston rod guide sleeve 9 ensures the movement accuracy and stability of the piston rod. At the same time, the good sealing between the axial piston 8 and the axial cylinder 2, as well as the fixing effect of the stop pin 7, ensure the reliable execution of the pushing operation.
[0057] When the rescue mission is completed and the device needs to be withdrawn, first switch the reversing valve to allow pressurized oil to enter the oil outlet pipe of the axial hydraulic cylinder, namely the axial oil outlet pipe 13. The pressurized oil enters the axial oil outlet chamber 21, pushing the hydraulic cylinder barrel 2 to move the stone downwards together and fall back to the initial position.
[0058] Finally, the directional valve is switched again, so that the oil outlet pipe of the radial hydraulic cylinder passes through the first radial oil outlet pipe 17, the second radial oil outlet pipe 18, and the third radial oil outlet pipe 19 in sequence to introduce pressurized oil, which pushes the radial piston rod 11 to retract, separating the cylinder body from the inner wall of the rock, completing the entire rescue operation process, and the device is ready for the next rescue mission.
[0059] In addition, the hydraulic cylinder can adapt to jacking in various directions. If the rubble is complex and jacking is not possible, the hydraulic cylinder can be placed in reverse and the return stroke of the piston rod can be used to lift the stones.
[0060] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
