[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a lightweight hydraulic cylinder piston rod mechanism.

[0045] A piston rod mechanism for a lightweight hydraulic cylinder includes a cylinder body 1 and a moving mechanism disposed within the cylinder body 1 for hydraulic operation. The moving mechanism includes: a cylinder bottom 2 disposed within the cylinder body 1 and fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1; an end cap 3 disposed on the cylinder body 1 and fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1; a guide block 4 disposed within the cylinder body 1 and fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1; a piston rod 5 disposed within the cylinder body 1 for connecting components; a piston assembly 6 disposed on the piston rod 5 and fixedly connected to the piston rod 5; an oil inlet 7 disposed on the cylinder bottom 2 and fixedly connected to the cylinder bottom 2; an oil outlet 8 disposed on the cylinder body 1 and fixedly connected to the cylinder body 1; and a shock absorption mechanism disposed on the cylinder bottom 2 for mitigating the impact of the piston assembly 6 on the cylinder bottom 2.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the shock absorption mechanism includes: a mounting part disposed on the cylinder bottom 2 for mounting the component; and a shock absorption part disposed on the mounting part for mitigating impact.

[0047] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the mounting part includes: a damping cavity 9 disposed on the cylinder bottom 2 for filling with liquid; a liquid inlet cavity 10 disposed on the cylinder bottom 2 for liquid to enter; and a damping frame 11 disposed inside the damping cavity 9 and slidably connected to the damping cavity 9.

[0048] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the shock-absorbing part includes: a shock-absorbing spring 12, which is disposed on the shock-absorbing frame 11 and the cylinder bottom 2 and is fixedly connected to the cylinder bottom 2; a fixing column 13, which is disposed in the liquid inlet chamber 10 and is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet chamber 10; and a piston ring 14, which is disposed on the fixing column 13 and is fixedly connected to the fixing column 13.

[0049] In this configuration, the cylinder body 1 is made of carbon fiber, which has extremely high strength and is lightweight, effectively reducing the overall weight of the device. The piston rod 5 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and has good thermal conductivity, reducing not only the overall weight but also the total mass and force required for starting and accelerating the piston rod 5. The end cap 3 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and has good thermal conductivity, reducing the overall weight while working effectively with the piston rod 5. The end cap 3 is equipped with a sealing ring 16 and a dust cover 15, which effectively prevents oil leakage and dust from entering the cylinder body 1. The damping chamber 9 and the liquid inlet chamber 10 are interconnected, allowing liquid to flow between them. The device is equipped with multiple sealing rings 16. A sealing ring 16 is provided between the piston rod 5 and the end cap 3 and the guide block 4, between the piston assembly 6 and the cylinder body 1, and between the cylinder bottom 2 and the damping frame 11.

[0050] This device features a moving mechanism that ensures effective hydraulic operation. Large components within the moving mechanism are made of lightweight materials, significantly reducing the device's weight and making it easy to carry and install. Furthermore, a shock-absorbing mechanism effectively protects the device, preventing damage from excessive impact to the cylinder bottom 2 caused by the piston assembly 6's rapid movement during operation.

[0051] Working principle: When this device is in use, hydraulic oil enters the cylinder 1 through the oil inlet 7, causing the piston assembly 6 to push the piston rod 5 to perform hydraulic work. After the hydraulic work is completed, the hydraulic oil is discharged from the cylinder 1 through the oil outlet 8. The piston assembly 6 drives the piston rod 5 to quickly return to the initial position and impact the shock absorber 11. The shock absorber 11 moves within the shock absorber chamber 9 by compressing the shock absorber spring 12. The shock absorber spring 12 provides shock absorption through compression. The shock absorber chamber 9 is buffered by the liquid squeezed by the shock absorber 11, allowing the liquid in the shock absorber chamber 9 to enter the liquid inlet chamber 10 and push the piston ring 14 to move closer to the end cap 3 on the fixed column 13. When the piston assembly 6 leaves the shock absorber 11, the liquid in the liquid inlet chamber 10 no longer compresses the piston ring 14. At the same time, the shock absorber spring 12 rebounds, allowing the liquid in the liquid inlet chamber 10 to flow back into the shock absorber chamber 9, and the piston ring 14 also returns to the initial position.

[0052] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
