[0029] Working principle: In use, two sets of accumulator cylinder assemblies work together with a hydraulic cylinder to form a hydraulic drive assembly, such as... Figure 8During operation, the one-way inflation valve 3 is connected to an external air source, supplying high-pressure gas of appropriate pressure to the telescopic bladder 7. As the telescopic bladder 7 expands, hydraulic oil in the cylinder liner 1 is supplied into the cylindrical channel 402, thereby extending the movable column 4 from the cylinder liner 1. In excavator boom drives, when the pressure of the excavator boom compresses the movable column 4, and with the return hydraulic oil to the cylinder liner 1, the telescopic bladder 7 contracts. If the excavator boom needs to be lifted in this state, only a force less than the excavator boom pressure needs to be applied to the hydraulic cylinder, thus reducing the working pressure of the hydraulic system and saving effort. During the disassembly and assembly of the telescopic bladder 7, the lower plug 2 is separated from the cylinder liner 1, and the fixing pin 8021 is pulled, causing the push rod 802 to pull down, separating the one-way valve block 801 and the second retaining ring 2071, allowing external air intake. This releases the pressure of the perforated pressure plate 807 on the telescopic bladder 7, allowing it to be pulled... The telescopic bladder 7 removes the porous pressure plate 807, guide rod 805, and piston ring 806 together. Since the annular rubber ring 702 has a soft and elastic structure, the porous pressure plate 807 can be pulled out from the annular rubber ring 702. After replacing the telescopic bladder 7, the piston ring 806 is inserted into the inner tube 207. Then, the lower plug 2 is fixed to the cylinder liner 1. During the process of introducing gas through the one-way inflation valve 3, as the pressure of the telescopic bladder 7 increases, it will drive the piston ring 806 to continue to press down along the inner tube 207 for a distance, forcing out the gas between the piston ring 806 and the second retaining ring 2071. With the action of the one-way valve block 801 and the second spring 803, the gas can be restricted from entering the inner tube 207, thereby restricting the piston ring 806 from moving back. In actual use, a stop block can be installed in the rectangular hole 204 to press the push rod 802 tightly, thereby restricting the gas from passing through the second retaining ring 2071 into the inner tube 207.
