Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to gas spring technical field, concretely is a big stroke free adjustment gas spring. BACKGROUND

[0002] Gas spring, also known as support rod, gas support, angle adjuster, etc., is a kind of industrial accessories using gas compression and expansion principle to generate elastic force.Gas spring fills inert gas or oil-gas mixture in the closed pressure cylinder, so that the pressure in the cavity is several or several dozen times higher than atmospheric pressure.Because the cross-sectional area of the piston rod is smaller than that of the piston, a pressure difference is generated on both sides of the piston, and the movement of the piston rod is realized by using this pressure difference.Gas spring has multiple functions, including support, buffering, braking, height adjustment and angle adjustment, etc.Therefore, it has been widely used in many fields.

[0003] Common gas spring is usually composed of pressure cylinder, piston rod, piston, sealing guide sleeve, filler, control element and joint, etc.Gas spring fills inert gas or oil-gas mixture in the closed pressure cylinder, so that the pressure in the cavity is several or several dozen times higher than atmospheric pressure.Because the cross-sectional area of the piston rod is smaller than that of the piston, a pressure difference is generated on both sides of the piston, and the movement of the piston rod is realized by using this pressure difference.

[0004] In the use process of traditional gas spring, due to the fixed contraction stroke of the gas spring, different installation positions or different angles of the gas spring setting are required to select the appropriate contraction stroke of the gas spring for use according to the use conditions, which makes the use inconvenient.To solve the above problems, part of the gas spring first puts the rubber ring on the gas spring, puts the limiting ring on the inner rod of the gas spring, and adjusts the position of the limiting ring, which limits the contraction length of the inner rod of the gas spring by the contact of the limiting ring and the rubber ring when the gas spring contracts, adjusts the contraction stroke, and makes the use convenient.But this way, after adjusting the position of the limiting ring, rotating the threaded rod to push the square rod through the groove of the inner rod of the gas spring and inserting it into the connecting block, since the limiting ring needs to be adjusted according to the use condition, the threaded rod needs to be rotated many times before and after adjustment, which not only makes the position of the limiting ring inconvenient to adjust, but also accelerates the wear of the thread after rotating the threaded rod many times, which cannot guarantee the stability of the connection.Therefore, a big stroke free adjustment gas spring is proposed.
