DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The utility model is described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0022] It is worth noting that the orientation words such as 'up' and 'down' involved in this paper are relative to the view angle of the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description, and cannot be understood as the limitation of the technical scheme.

[0023] The utility model discloses an oil cylinder with built-in hydraulic locker, which comprises an oil cylinder assembly and a locking assembly, the oil cylinder assembly comprises an oil cylinder piston 2 and a cylinder barrel 1, an installation groove 5 is arranged on one end of the oil cylinder piston 2 in the cylinder barrel 1 along the axial direction, the locking assembly is arranged in the cylinder barrel 1, the locking assembly comprises a taper head rod 3, an expansion sleeve rod 4 and a locking mechanism, the taper head rod 3 penetrates through the expansion sleeve rod 4, one end of the taper head rod 3 is provided with an expansion taper head 11, one end of the expansion sleeve rod 4 is an expansion port 12 matched with the expansion taper head 11, one end of the expansion sleeve rod 4 provided with the expansion port 12 extends into the installation groove 5 of the oil cylinder piston 2, the other end of the expansion sleeve rod 4 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 1, the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 1 connected with the expansion sleeve rod 4 is further provided with a locking cavity, one end of the taper head rod 3 away from the expansion taper head 11 penetrates through the inner wall of the cylinder barrel 1 and extends into the locking cavity, and one end of the taper head rod 3 in the locking cavity is provided with a piston piece, one side of the piston piece away from the taper head rod 3 forms a loosening oil cavity with the inner wall of the locking cavity, the cylinder barrel 1 is provided with an oil path 7 communicated with the loosening oil cavity, and the locking mechanism is arranged between the end of the taper head rod 3 extending into the locking cavity and the piston piece.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown in the utility model, the expansion sleeve rod 4 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 1 to form a whole, the oil cylinder piston 2 can move relative to the expansion sleeve rod 4, the taper head rod 3 penetrates the expansion sleeve rod 4, and the two can also move relative to each other, when the oil cylinder piston 2 is not locked by the locking assembly, when the rod cavity of the cylinder 1 is not communicated with hydraulic oil, the oil cylinder piston 2 is retracted, and when the rodless cavity of the cylinder 1 is communicated with hydraulic oil, the oil cylinder piston 2 is extended. Figure 1 The cavity on the left side of the cylinder 1 is communicated with hydraulic oil, the oil cylinder piston 2 is retracted, and the cavity on the right side of the cylinder 1 is communicated with hydraulic oil. Figure 1 The cavity on the left side of the cylinder 1 is communicated with hydraulic oil, the oil cylinder piston 2 is retracted, and the cavity on the right side of the cylinder 1 is communicated with hydraulic oil.

[0025] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the oil cavity is not communicated with hydraulic oil, under the action of the locking mechanism, the taper head rod 3 moves to the locking cavity direction, the expansion taper head 11 of the taper head rod 3 is pressed to the expansion sleeve 4, the expansion sleeve 4 is expanded at the expansion port 12 position, is contacted with the inner wall of the oil cylinder piston 2, and the two are locked by expansion, at this time, the oil cylinder piston 2 of the oil cylinder assembly cannot move any more; after the oil cavity is communicated with hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil pushes the taper head rod 3 to move, so that the taper head rod 3 is loosened with the expansion sleeve rod 4, at this time, the oil cylinder piston 2 restores the moving function.

[0026] It is easy to understand that in the utility model, the matching principle between the taper head rod 3 and the expansion sleeve rod 4 is similar to the principle of the existing locking device, when the expansion taper head 11 of the taper head rod 3 applies pressure to the expansion port 12 of the expansion sleeve rod 4, part of the expansion port 12 position of the expansion sleeve rod 4 is expanded, so that the purpose of locking the oil cylinder piston 2 is achieved.

[0027] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the locking mechanism comprises a spring 10, the spring 10 is sleeved on one end of the taper head rod 3 in the locking cavity, and the two ends of the spring 10 are respectively abutted with the inner wall of the locking cavity and the piston piece, and the cylinder 1 side is provided with a communication port 6 in communication with the spring 10. When the oil cylinder is not communicated with hydraulic oil, the spring 10 will apply a pushing force to the piston piece, the taper head rod 3 moves to the locking cavity direction, after the oil cylinder is communicated with hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil pushes the piston piece, so that the spring 10 is compressed, and the communication port 6 plays a role of exhaust.

[0028] Further, the locking mechanism comprises an oil pump, not shown in the drawing, one end of the taper head rod 3 in the locking cavity and the locking cavity form an expansion oil cavity, the side of the cylinder 1 is provided with a communication port 6 in communication with the expansion oil cavity, and the oil pump is connected with the expansion oil cavity through the communication port 6. When the oil cylinder is not communicated with hydraulic oil, the oil pump communicates hydraulic oil into the expansion oil cavity, pushes the piston piece to move, and locks the oil cylinder piston 2, when the oil cylinder is communicated with hydraulic oil, the expansion oil cavity discharges hydraulic oil through the communication port 6, and the hydraulic oil pushes the piston piece to loosen the oil cylinder piston 2.

[0029] As can be easily understood, no matter whether the locking mechanism is the spring 10 or the oil pump, the locking chamber is divided into left and right parts by the piston member, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 The locking mechanism affects the left cavity of the locking chamber and pushes the piston member to move rightward to achieve the purpose of locking the oil cylinder piston 2.

[0030] In the left cavity of the locking chamber, only the spring 10 can be arranged, or only the hydraulic oil is introduced through the oil pump, or both of them are used in cooperation to achieve the effect of rapid starting.

[0031] Further, the cylinder barrel 1 is further provided with a first proximity switch 8 for detecting the position of the piston member to detect the unlocking state of the locking assembly. Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the first proximity switch 8 detects whether the piston member moves to the position when moving leftward, and thus the first proximity switch 8 is arranged outside the position of the piston member when moving to the unlocking state in the direction of the locking mechanism to detect whether the piston member moves to the position.

[0032] Further, the cylinder barrel 1 is further provided with a second proximity switch 9 for detecting the position of the piston member to detect the locking state of the locking assembly. Figure 1 As shown in the drawings, the second proximity switch 9 detects whether the piston member moves to the position when moving rightward, and thus the second proximity switch 9 is arranged outside the position of the piston member when moving to the locking state in the direction away from the locking mechanism to detect whether the piston member moves to the position.

[0033] The first proximity switch 8 and the second proximity switch 9 are conventional sensors for detecting the position of the piston member, and thus the utility model will not be described in detail.

[0034] Further, the end of the oil cylinder piston 2 is provided with a first connecting member, the end of the cylinder barrel 1 is provided with a second connecting member, and the oil cylinder assembly is connected with external equipment through the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0035] In the utility model, the positions needing to be sealed in the oil cylinder assembly and the locking assembly are all provided with sealing members, which is a conventional setting in the field, and thus the utility model will not be described in detail.

[0036] The hydraulic locker, i.e. the locking assembly, of the utility model does not lock the outer surface of the oil cylinder piston 2, but locks the inner wall of the oil cylinder piston 2, the taper head rod 3 and the expansion sleeve rod 4 of the locking assembly are combined and placed in the mounting groove 5 of the oil cylinder piston 2, and the inner wall of the oil cylinder piston 2 can adopt various measures for strengthening and hardening, so that it can bear greater expansion force, even if there is local damage, it also does not affect the normal work of the oil cylinder, and thus greater locking force can be obtained.

[0037] In addition, since the locking assembly is built in the oil cylinder piston 2, no additional hydraulic locker mounting seat is needed, the hydraulic locker does not occupy additional space, and the oil cylinder assembly has no requirement for the use environment, so that the oil cylinder with the built-in locking assembly can be used in a more severe environment.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present application have been described above, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, any technical scheme falling within the idea of the present application belongs to the protection scope of the present application. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled in the art, some improvements and decorations without departing from the principles of the present application can also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
