[0019] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] The embodiment provides a plunger connecting structure with a deviation prevention function. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the plunger connecting structure with a deviation prevention function comprises a cross head 1, a ball head 3, a plunger rod 4 and a compression ring 5. One end of the cross head 1 is provided with a first connecting groove 2, the groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2 is in an arc structure which is curved from one end of the cross head 1 to the other end of the cross head 1. One end of the ball head 3 is attached to the groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2. The plunger rod 4 is connected to the end of the ball head 3 which is away from the cross head 1. The compression ring 5 is sleeved on the plunger rod 4, and a gap 6 is arranged between the compression ring 5 and the plunger rod 4, which is used for reserving space for the deviation of the plunger rod 4. The compression ring 5 is connected to the cross head 1, and a second connecting groove 7 is arranged on the side of the compression ring 5 which is close to the cross head 1. The groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 is in an arc structure which is curved from the cross head 1 to the plunger rod 4, and the groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 is attached to the end of the ball head 3 which is away from the cross head 1.

[0022] For example, in the implementation process, the first connecting groove 2 is opened at one end of the cross head 1, and the groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2 is arranged in an arc structure which is curved from one end of the cross head 1 to the other end of the cross head 1.

[0023] One end of the ball head 3 is fitted in the first connecting groove 2. That is, the curvature radius of the ball head 3 is the same as that of the groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2. Therefore, the ball head 3 can be attached to the groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2 and can rotate freely relative to the cross head 1.

[0024] The plunger rod 4 is connected to the end of the ball head 3 which is away from the cross head 1 by screwing, welding, clamping or other methods.

[0025] The compression ring 5 is sleeved on the plunger rod 4, and the compression ring 5 is connected to the cross head 1 by screwing, welding, clamping or other methods. The second connecting groove 7 is opened on the end face of the compression ring 5 which is close to the cross head 1, the groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 is arranged in an arc structure which is curved from the cross head 1 to the plunger rod 4, and the groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 is fitted to the end of the ball head 3 which is away from the cross head 1. That is, the curvature radius of the groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 is the same as that of the ball head 3. Therefore, the ball head 3 can be attached to the groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7 and can rotate freely relative to the compression ring 5. A certain gap 6 is reserved between the compression ring 5 and the plunger rod 4, which is used for reserving space for the deviation of the plunger rod 4, so as to reduce the risk of stress concentration caused by excessive constraint.

[0026] In use, the spherical head 3 is in contact with the arc-shaped groove bottom of the first connecting groove 2 and the arc-shaped groove bottom of the second connecting groove 7, so that the spherical head 3 can swing freely within a certain range, while the gap 6 between the compression ring 5 and the plunger rod 4 is reserved, so that the plunger rod 4 can be freely adjusted within a certain range. It is expected to effectively compensate for the perpendicularity error between the plunger rod 4 and the cross head 1, thereby reducing the risk of seal displacement and wear caused by perpendicularity error, and prolonging the service life of the seal. At the same time, the compression ring 5 adopts an integrated structure to improve the strength of the compression ring 5.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] In use, the end of the plunger rod 4 away from the cross head 1 is usually larger in diameter, or integrally formed with other connecting structures, so that the compression ring 5 cannot be easily fitted from the end of the plunger rod 4 away from the cross head 1. Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose of facilitating the user to fit the compression ring 5 on the plunger rod 4, as shown in the following embodiment. Figure 1 As shown in the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the spherical head 3 and the plunger rod 4 are detachably connected.

[0029] For example, a threaded hole is formed at the end of the spherical head 3 away from the cross head 1, an external thread is provided at the end of the plunger rod 4 close to the cross head 1, and the plunger rod 4 is screwed into the threaded hole on the spherical head 3 through the external thread, thereby achieving detachable connection between the spherical head 3 and the plunger rod 4.

[0030] When installing, first, the end of the plunger rod 4 for connecting with the spherical head 3 is inserted into the compression ring 5 from the end of the compression ring 5 not provided with the second connecting groove 7, so that the compression ring 5 is fitted on the plunger rod 4. Secondly, the spherical head 3 is connected to the plunger rod 4. Thirdly, the end of the spherical head 3 away from the plunger rod 4 is fitted into the first connecting groove 2 on the cross head 1. Finally, the compression ring 5 is connected to the cross head 1, and the second connecting groove 7 on the compression ring 5 is adapted to the spherical head 3. It is expected to achieve the purpose of reducing the risk that the compression ring 5 cannot be directly fitted due to the larger size of the end of the plunger rod 4 away from the spherical head 3 or the presence of additional connecting structures, by detachable connection between the spherical head 3 and the plunger rod 4.

[0031] Embodiment 3

[0032] During prolonged use of the plunger connection structure, significant wear may occur between the ball head 3 and the bottom of the first connecting groove 2, or between the ball head 3 and the bottom of the second connecting groove 7. This can lead to significant wobble in the ball head 3, affecting the stability of the connection between the plunger rod 4 and the crosshead 1. Therefore, to facilitate user separation of the crosshead 1 from the clamping ring 5 for checking the fit between the ball head 3 and the bottom of the first connecting groove 2, and between the ball head 3 and the bottom of the second connecting groove 7, as follows... Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, a first connecting hole 8 is provided on the end face of one end of the crosshead 1; a second connecting hole 9 is provided on the end face of the clamping ring 5 near the crosshead 1, the second connecting hole 9 extends along the end of the clamping ring 5 near the crosshead 1 to the end of the clamping ring 5 away from the crosshead 1, and the second connecting hole 9 corresponds to the first connecting hole 8; the plunger connection structure also includes a connector 10; the connector 10 is connected in the first connecting hole 8 and the second connecting hole 9.

[0033] For example, during implementation, a first connecting hole 8 is provided on the end face of one end of the crosshead 1.

[0034] A second connecting hole 9 is provided on the end face of the clamping ring 5 near the crosshead 1. The second connecting hole 9 extends from the end of the clamping ring 5 near the crosshead 1 to the end away from the crosshead 1, and the second connecting hole 9 corresponds to the first connecting hole 8 on the crosshead 1.

[0035] The connector 10 can be a bolt, pin, or similar structure. One end of the connector 10 is inserted into the first connecting hole 8 from the end of the second connecting hole 9 away from the crosshead 1, thus connecting the connector 10 to both the first and second connecting holes 8 and 9. This achieves the purpose of detachably connecting the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5 together. On the one hand, this aims to ensure the stability of the connection between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5. On the other hand, it aims to facilitate the user's inspection and maintenance of the ball head 3, the bottom of the first connecting groove 2, and the bottom of the second connecting groove 7 when it is necessary to check the fit between them. This allows the user to easily remove the connector 10 to separate the crosshead 1 from the clamping ring 5.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] To further improve the stability of the connection between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, such as... Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 3, in this embodiment, the number of the first connecting holes 8 is set to several; the several first connecting holes 8 are evenly distributed around the axis of the plunger rod 4.

[0038] For example, in implementation, a plurality of first connecting holes 8 are provided, and these plurality of first connecting holes 8 are evenly distributed around the axis of the plunger rod 4. Correspondingly, a plurality of second connecting holes 9 are formed on the end face of the clamping ring 5 near the crosshead 1, and the position and number of the plurality of second connecting holes 9 are matched with the first connecting holes 8. A plurality of connectors 10 pass through a connecting hole group (consisting of a first connecting hole 8 and a second connecting hole 9 corresponding to the first connecting hole 8) to detachably connect the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5.

[0039] Multiple connection points are evenly distributed around the axis of the plunger rod 4, which makes the force applied to the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5 more uniform, in order to reduce the risk of local stress concentration and thus improve the connection stability between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5.

[0040] Example 5

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the plunger connection structure further includes a protective washer 11; the protective washer 11 is disposed between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5.

[0042] For example, in implementation, the plunger connection structure also includes a protective washer 11. The protective washer 11 can be made of rubber, plastic, or other materials with appropriate elasticity and wear resistance. The protective washer 11 is connected between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, with both sides of the protective washer 11 respectively abutting the ends of the clamping ring 5 and the crosshead 1 that are close to each other. On one hand, the protective washer 11, positioned between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, effectively reduces the risk of direct contact between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, aiming to reduce the wear rate between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, thereby extending the service life of the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5. On the other hand, the protective washer 11 can effectively seal the connection seam between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5, aiming to reduce the entry of external impurities from the connection seam between the crosshead 1 and the clamping ring 5 into the interior of the plunger connection structure, and to reduce their impact on the contact surfaces between the ball head 3 and the first connecting groove 2, and between the ball head 3 and the second connecting groove 7. On the other hand, it is hoped that the protective gasket 11 will absorb the vibration and impact generated during operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the plunger connection structure.

[0043] Example 6

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the plunger connection structure further includes an elastic ring sleeve 12; the elastic ring sleeve 12 is adapted to the gap 6, and the elastic ring sleeve 12 is used to extend and retract along the plunger rod 4 toward the compression ring 5.

[0045] For example, in implementation, the plunger connection structure also includes an elastic ring 12, which can be made of rubber, polyurethane, or other elastic and wear-resistant materials. The elastic ring 12 is installed within the gap 6 between the plunger rod 4 and the clamping ring 5. The inner side of the elastic ring 12 is in contact with the plunger rod 4, and the outer side is in contact with the clamping ring 5. The elastic ring 12 can extend and retract along the plunger rod 4 towards the clamping ring 5. On one hand, the elasticity of the elastic ring 12 effectively ensures that the plunger rod 4 can be adjusted within a certain range. This is intended to effectively compensate for the perpendicularity error between the plunger rod 4 and the crosshead 1, thereby reducing the risk of seal misalignment and wear due to perpendicularity error, and extending the service life of the seal. On the other hand, the elastic ring 12 effectively reduces the risk of direct contact and friction between the plunger rod 4 and the clamping ring 5, while effectively absorbing vibration and impact during use. The aim is to reduce the wear rate of the plunger rod 4 and the clamping ring 5, thereby extending their service life. Furthermore, the elastic sleeve 12 can effectively seal the connection seam between the plunger rod 4 and the clamping ring 5, thereby reducing the entry of external impurities into the plunger connection structure through this seam and their impact on the contact surfaces between the ball head 3 and the first connecting groove 2, and between the ball head 3 and the second connecting groove 7.

[0046] Example 7

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment 6, in this embodiment, the plunger rod 4 is provided with an installation groove 13; the installation groove 13 is an annular structure arranged around the periphery of the plunger rod 4; the elastic ring sleeve 12 is connected in the installation groove 13, and the side of the elastic ring sleeve 12 away from the installation groove 13 is attached to the clamping ring 5.

[0048] For example, in implementation, the plunger rod 4 has a mounting groove 13, which is an annular structure surrounding the circumference of the plunger rod 4. An elastic ring 12 is connected to the mounting groove 13 on the plunger rod 4 by means of screwing, gluing, or nesting, with the side of the elastic ring 12 away from the mounting groove 13 tightly fitted to the clamping ring 5. Securely connecting the elastic ring 12 to the plunger rod 4 aims to reduce the risk of the elastic ring 12 falling off or shifting during the insertion of the plunger rod 4 into the clamping ring 5. Simultaneously, it aims to reduce the risk of displacement of the elastic ring 12 due to vibration or impact during use.

[0049] Example 8

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, in this embodiment, the space between the ball head 3 and the first connecting groove 2, and the space between the ball head 3 and the second connecting groove 7 are both filled with a lubricating layer 14.

[0051] For example, in the implementation process, a lubricating layer 14 is filled between the ball head 3 and the first connecting groove 2, and between the ball head 3 and the second connecting groove 7. This lubricating layer 14 can be made of grease, solid lubricant (such as molybdenum disulfide), or other lubricating and high-temperature resistant materials. The aim is to significantly reduce the coefficient of friction between the ball head 3 and the first connecting groove 2, and between the ball head 3 and the second connecting groove 7, thereby reducing the wear rate between them and extending the service life of the ball head 3, the first connecting groove 2, and the second connecting groove 7.

[0052] Although the present invention has been described herein with reference to several illustrative embodiments, it should be understood that many other modifications and implementations can be devised by those skilled in the art, which will fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed herein. More specifically, various variations and modifications can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of the disclosure, drawings, and claims.
