DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in further detail below through specific implementation.

[0026] For example Figure 1 And Figure 2The utility model discloses an impact resistance electro-hydraulic integrated heavy load electric cylinder, including electric cylinder body, the bottom of electric cylinder body is provided with integrated overload protection device, and the integrated overload protection device includes floating cylinder body 1, buffer cylinder body 2 and floating piston 3, floating cylinder body 1 is coaxially sealed slidingly inserted in buffer cylinder body 2, and the cylinder mouth of buffer cylinder body 2 is fixedly installed with the guide sleeve 4 of the outer circumference of floating cylinder body 1, the top of floating cylinder body 1 is fixedly connected in the bottom of electric cylinder body, floating piston 3 is sealingly slidably installed in floating cylinder body 1, and the bottom of floating cylinder body 1 and the inner bottom of buffer cylinder body 2 form first cavity, and the inner bottom of floating cylinder body 1 and floating piston 3 form second cavity, and floating piston 3 and the bottom of electric cylinder body form third cavity, and the bottom of floating cylinder body 1 is equipped with the through hole 5 of the communication of first cavity and second cavity, and first liquid medium 6 is filled in first cavity and second cavity, and second liquid medium 7 is filled in third cavity, and the bottom of buffer cylinder body 2 is installed with the first safety valve 8 of the communication of first cavity, and the top of floating cylinder body 1 is installed with the second safety valve 9 of the communication of third cavity, and the compression coefficient of first liquid medium 6 is less than the compression coefficient of second liquid medium 7, and the valve value of first safety valve 8 is less than the valve value of second safety valve 9.

[0027] The through hole 5 is arranged at the center of the bottom of floating cylinder body 1.

[0028] The side wall of buffer cylinder body 2 is provided with the first one-way liquid supplementing port of the communication of first cavity.

[0029] The side wall of floating cylinder body 1 is provided with the second one-way liquid supplementing port of the communication of third cavity.

[0030] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the impact load acts on the electric cylinder body, the overload impact force is transmitted to the floating cylinder body 1 through the cylinder barrel of the electric cylinder body, the cylinder bottom of the floating cylinder body 1 acts on the first liquid medium 6 in the first cavity, and then converts the overload impact force into the liquid pressure of the first liquid medium 6. Since the first cavity and the second cavity are communicated through the through hole 5, the pressure of the first liquid medium 6 in the first cavity and the second cavity is the same, and then the first liquid medium 6 in the second cavity pushes the floating piston 3 to move (a certain floating amount is generated), so that the floating piston 3 pushes the second liquid medium 7 in the third cavity to generate compression energy storage (volume deformation to absorb energy and store). When the impact load intensity is low, usually high-frequency impact, the pressure of the first liquid medium 6 generated by the impact load is less than the valve value of the first safety valve 8, and then the second liquid medium 7 in the third cavity absorbs the overload energy by compression energy storage, and then filters the impact load from the electric cylinder in real time, and plays a filtering and stabilizing role on high-frequency impact. When the load returns to normal, the compression energy storage of the second liquid medium 7 pushes the floating piston 3 to reset, and the floating piston 3 pushes the first liquid medium 6 in the second cavity back to the first cavity, so that the electric cylinder returns to normal, and the effective protection of the high-frequency impact of the electric cylinder is realized, and the automatic reset can be realized. When the impact load intensity is high, usually high-speed impact, the pressure of the first liquid medium 6 generated by the impact load is greater than the valve value of the first safety valve 8, and then the first liquid medium 6 releases the impact pressure by realizing large-flow liquid leakage through the first safety valve 8, and then solves the problem of high-speed impact overload, and protects the overload safety of the electric cylinder.

[0031] Since the impact load is short time, the liquid leakage amount of the first liquid medium 6 is small relative to the total liquid amount. If the pressure of the first liquid medium 6 generated by the impact load of high-speed impact is greater than the valve value of the second safety valve 9, then the second liquid medium 7 also leaks through the second safety valve 9.

[0032] In order to ensure the working reliability of the anti-impact electric hydraulic integrated heavy load electric cylinder, the first liquid medium 6 can be supplemented into the first cavity through the first one-way liquid supplementing port, and the second liquid medium 7 can be supplemented into the third cavity through the second one-way liquid supplementing port.
