Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic cylinder, and more specifically, to a hydraulic cylinder and engineering machinery. Background Technology

[0002] A hydraulic cylinder includes a cylinder barrel, a piston, and a piston rod. The piston is located inside the cylinder barrel, and one end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the piston, while the other end extends out from the inner hole of a guide sleeve fixed at the end of the cylinder barrel.

[0003] The piston's circumferential surface has a clearance fit with the cylinder's inner wall. A support ring and a sealing ring are installed on the piston's circumferential surface. The support ring improves the hydraulic cylinder's load-bearing capacity and resistance to lateral forces, while the sealing ring reduces oil leakage between the large and small chambers of the cylinder. The support ring is usually located to one side of the sealing ring, which abuts tightly against the cylinder's inner wall. When the piston moves relative to the cylinder, the sealing ring wipes away or breaks the oil film on the cylinder's inner bore wall. Some hydraulic cylinders have multiple support rings on the piston. When the piston moves, the support rings contact the cylinder's inner bore wall; this contact and sliding action of the support rings also wipes away or breaks the oil film on the cylinder's inner bore wall.

[0004] When the piston slides relative to the cylinder, the support ring will come into contact with the inner wall of the cylinder bore, which has no oil film or an incomplete oil film, resulting in dry friction. Dry friction will cause rapid wear of the support ring and damage to the inner wall of the cylinder bore, shortening the maintenance cycle of the hydraulic cylinder, increasing maintenance costs, and even shortening the service life of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0005] In some engineering machinery or operating conditions, hydraulic cylinders need to extend and retract rapidly due to operational requirements. When the piston moves rapidly, the inner surface of the cylinder bore, where the oil film has been damaged or wiped away by the seals and support rings, comes into contact with the support rings before a new oil film can be formed. Therefore, in rapidly extending and retracting hydraulic cylinders, the inner surface of the cylinder bore and the support rings often experience dry friction and damage.

[0006] The piston rod extends from the inner hole of the guide sleeve. A support ring and a sealing ring are provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve to cooperate with the piston rod. Dry friction often occurs between the guide sleeve and the piston rod when the hydraulic cylinder extends and retracts rapidly. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific implementation plan is described below with reference to the attached diagram.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the hydraulic cylinder includes a cylinder barrel 10, a piston 30 located inside the cylinder barrel, and a piston rod 20 with one end fixedly connected to the piston. The other end of the piston rod 20 extends out from the inner hole of the guide sleeve 50 fixed at the end of the cylinder barrel 10. A piston support ring 32 and a piston sealing ring 31 are provided on the circumferential surface of the piston 30. A piston lubricating oil groove 35 is provided around the piston 30 on the circumferential surface of the piston. A piston lubricating oil passage 33 is provided inside the piston 30 and communicates with the piston lubricating oil groove 35. The piston lubricating oil passage 33 communicates with the small cavity 12 of the cylinder at the end face of the piston 30.

[0033] The piston 30 is arranged inside the cylinder 10, which divides the internal space of the cylinder 10 into a large cavity (rodless cavity) 11 and a small cavity (rod cavity) 12. A large cavity interface communicating with the large cavity of the cylinder is provided on the cylinder head, and a small cavity interface communicating with the small cavity of the cylinder is provided on the cylinder barrel.

[0034] like Figure 1 Figure 3 As shown, four piston support rings 32 and one piston seal ring 31 are provided on the circumferential surface of the piston 30. The four piston support rings 32 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the piston 30, and all piston support rings 32 are located on one side of the piston seal ring 31.

[0035] A sealing ring mounting groove 36 for accommodating the piston sealing ring 31 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the piston 30 near the large cylinder chamber 11. Support ring mounting grooves 34 for accommodating the piston support ring 32 are arranged on the side of the sealing ring mounting groove 36 facing the small cylinder chamber 12. Piston lubricating oil grooves 35 on the circumferential surface of the piston 30 include a first piston lubricating oil groove 351 and a second piston lubricating oil groove 352. The first piston lubricating oil groove 351 is located between the sealing ring mounting groove 36 and an adjacent support ring mounting groove 34, while the second piston lubricating oil groove 352 is located between two adjacent support ring mounting grooves 34 in the middle.

[0036] A piston lubrication passage 33 is provided inside the piston 30. The piston lubrication passage 33 communicates with both the first piston lubrication groove 351 and the second piston lubrication groove 352. Simultaneously, the piston lubrication passage 33 communicates with the small cavity of the oil cylinder at the end face of the piston 30. Preferably, the piston lubrication passage 33 has three passages, such as... Figure 2 As shown, three piston lubrication channels 33 are arranged centrally symmetrically on the piston 30. Optionally, the effective flow diameter of the piston lubrication channels 33 is less than or equal to 2 mm. The 2 mm effective flow diameter of the piston lubrication channels ensures sufficient oil flow to each piston lubrication groove, while also forming effective hydraulic damping to prevent excessive internal leakage caused by excessive pressure in the gap between the piston and cylinder.

[0037] In some embodiments, the piston lubricating oil groove 35 may be provided only on the circumferential surface between the sealing ring mounting groove 36 and the adjacent support ring mounting groove 34; or, the piston lubricating oil groove 35 may be provided only on the piston circumferential surface between two adjacent piston support rings.

[0038] In this embodiment, the piston 30 moves inside the cylinder 10. In the direction of movement of the piston 30, the piston support ring 32 or the piston sealing ring 31 scrapes off the oil film on the inner surface of the cylinder bore. The oil stored in the piston lubricating oil groove 35 on the piston circumferential surface can quickly form a new oil film on the inner wall of the cylinder bore, thereby avoiding dry friction between the support ring and the inner wall of the cylinder bore.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, one end of the piston rod 20 is fixedly connected to the piston 30 by a threaded connection. A pin 21 is provided at the connection point to fix the piston 30 and the piston rod 20, preventing the piston rod 20 from rotating relative to the piston 30. The other end of the piston 30 extends out from the inner hole of the guide sleeve at the end of the cylinder 10.

[0040] In the extension direction of the piston rod 20, multiple guide sleeve support rings 53, guide sleeve sealing rings 51, and guide sleeve dustproof rings 52 are sequentially arranged on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 50. A guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 57 is provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 50, and a guide sleeve lubricating oil channel 54 is provided inside the guide sleeve, communicating with the guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 57. The guide sleeve lubricating oil channel 54 communicates with the small cavity of the oil cylinder at the end of the guide sleeve.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, a second guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 572 is provided on the inner wall of the guide sleeve 50 between a pair of adjacent guide sleeve support rings 53. A first guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 571 is provided between the guide sleeve sealing ring 51 and the adjacent guide sleeve support ring 53. Both guide sleeve lubricating oil grooves are connected to the guide sleeve lubricating oil channel 54 inside the guide sleeve. The guide sleeve lubricating oil channel 54 is connected to the small cavity at the end of the guide sleeve.

[0042] In other embodiments, the guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 57 may be arranged only on the inner wall of the guide sleeve between the guide sleeve sealing ring 51 and the guide sleeve support ring 53; or the guide sleeve lubricating oil groove 57 may be arranged only on the inner wall of the guide sleeve between two adjacent guide sleeve support rings 53.

[0043] The guide sleeve lubrication channel 54 can be provided with multiple channels inside the guide sleeve. Each guide sleeve lubrication channel is arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner on the guide sleeve, and the effective flow diameter of each guide sleeve lubrication channel is less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0044] The guide sleeve lubrication passage 54 is formed by machining a connecting axial hole and a radial hole on the guide sleeve. A plug 55 is installed or welded to the radial outer end of the radial hole and the axial outer end (the shorter end facing away from the small cavity) of the axial hole. A radial starting oil passage is provided on the end face of the axial inner end (the end facing the small cavity) of the guide sleeve, and the end of the guide sleeve lubrication passage 54 is located in the starting oil groove.

[0045] This embodiment also provides an engineering machine having the aforementioned hydraulic cylinder. The engineering machine can be a loader, excavator, grader, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, an oil passage is provided on the piston to connect the small cavity of the oil cylinder with the piston lubricating oil groove on the piston circumferential surface, so as to provide sufficient hydraulic oil to form an oil film on the inner surface of the cylinder barrel in a timely and rapid manner, effectively reducing the possibility of dry friction between the piston support ring and the inner surface of the cylinder barrel. Similarly, a guide sleeve lubricating oil groove and a guide sleeve lubricating oil passage are provided on the guide sleeve, which effectively reduces the possibility of dry friction between the guide sleeve support ring and the piston rod surface.
