[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model proposes a hydraulic cylinder with multi-stage stroke adjustment function, including a cylinder body 1 and a primary hydraulic chamber 101 disposed within the cylinder body 1. A slide column 2 is slidably installed in the primary hydraulic chamber 101, and multiple first sealing rings 201 are fixedly installed on the slide column 2. A slide groove 203 is provided inside the slide column 2, and an oil hole 202 communicating with the slide groove 203 is provided at the bottom of the slide column 2. The hydraulic oil entering the primary hydraulic chamber 101 first pushes the slide column 2 to move. After the slide column 2 moves to its limit position, the hydraulic oil will enter the slide groove 203 through the oil hole 202 under the action of oil pressure. A slider 3 is slidably installed in the slide column 2, and multiple second sealing rings 301 are fixedly installed on the slider 3. A return hole 5 is provided on the slide column 2 for return. One end of the hole 5 is connected to the slide groove 203, and the other end is connected to the primary hydraulic chamber 101. When hydraulic oil enters the slide groove 203, it will push the slider 3 to move, and the hydraulic oil on the other side of the slider 3 will flow out through the return hole 5. An output shaft 4 that passes through one end of the slide column 2 is fixedly installed on the slider 3. The movement of the slider 3 can drive the output shaft 4 to move, so that the object connected to the output shaft 4 can be moved through the output shaft 4. The two ends of the cylinder body 1 are respectively provided with a first oil port 102 and a second oil port 103. The first oil port 102 and the second oil port 103 are both connected to the primary hydraulic chamber 101. Hydraulic oil can enter or leave the two ends of the primary hydraulic chamber 101 through the first oil port 102 and the second oil port 103.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment also includes a storage chamber 6 fixedly installed on the cylinder body 1. A sealing block 601 is slidably installed inside the storage chamber 6. The storage chamber 6 is connected to the primary hydraulic chamber 101. When the slide column 2 moves to its limit position, and the hydraulic oil begins to push the slider 3 to move, some hydraulic oil will enter the storage chamber 6, and another part will enter the slide groove 203. Since the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the sealing block 601 and the slider 3 is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the slide column 2, the speed of the slider 3 when it moves can be kept consistent with the speed of the slide column 2 when it moves, thereby preventing sudden speed changes when the hydraulic cylinder extends and retracts. It also includes a valve 603 fixedly installed between the storage chamber 6 and the primary hydraulic chamber 101. By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 603, the hydraulic oil can be controlled to enter the storage chamber 6. Inside compartment 6, the timing of hydraulic oil entering the storage compartment 6 can be controlled by controlling the opening timing of valve 603. This allows the hydraulic oil to enter the storage compartment 6 simultaneously with pushing slider 3. A second spring 602 is fixedly installed inside the storage compartment 6, with the other end of the second spring 602 fixedly connected to sealing block 601. The second spring 602 can simulate the resistance encountered when output shaft 4 moves outward and can reset the position of sealing block 601. It can also directly connect the first sealing block 601 and output shaft 4, and this connecting shaft can extend and retract with the movement of sliding column 2. This ensures that the movement of sliding column 2 will not affect the first sealing block 601 again. At this time, the second spring 602 can be removed, so that the first sealing block 601 and output shaft 4 are subjected to the same amount of pressure.

[0027] The valve 603 includes a valve body 6031, a valve core 6032 rotatably mounted inside the valve body 6031, and a support shaft 6033 fixedly mounted on the valve core 6032 and passing through one side of the valve body 6031. The transmission rod 706 is fixedly connected to the support shaft 6033. By rotating the support shaft 6033, the valve core 6032 can be driven to rotate. The rotating valve core 6032 can control the open / closed state on both sides of the valve body 6031.

[0028] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a starting mechanism. The starting mechanism opens the valve 603 after the slide column 2 slides to the limit position and closes the valve 603 after the slide column 2 leaves the limit position. The cylinder body 1 is provided with a limiting block 104 to limit the slide column 2. The starting mechanism includes a hydraulic chamber 7 provided on the limiting block 104. A sealing block 701 is slidably installed in the hydraulic chamber 7. A detection rod 702 is fixedly installed on the sealing block 701. The detection rod 702 extends into the first-stage hydraulic chamber 101. First connecting holes 703 are provided on both sides of the hydraulic chamber 7. When the slide column 2 moves to the limit position, it will drive the detection rod 702 to move, and the hydraulic medium inside the hydraulic chamber 7 can be squeezed out through the sealing block 701.

[0029] Furthermore, the starting mechanism also includes a drive cylinder 704 rotatably mounted on the storage compartment 6. A sealing plate 705 is slidably mounted inside the drive cylinder 704. A transmission rod 706 passing through one end of the drive cylinder 704 is fixedly mounted on the sealing plate 705. Both ends of the drive cylinder 704 are provided with second connection holes 707. The first connection hole 703 and the second connection hole 707 correspond one-to-one and are connected through an oil pipe 708. A first spring 709 is fixedly mounted between the sealing plate 705 and the drive cylinder 704. When the hydraulic medium inside the hydraulic compartment 7 is forced out, the hydraulic medium will enter the drive cylinder 704 through the oil pipe 708 and drive the sealing plate 705 to move. This will drive the valve core 6032 to rotate through the transmission rod 706, thereby opening the valve 603 when the slider 3 starts to move.

[0030] In this embodiment, when the slide column 2 moves to its limit position, it will drive the detection rod 702 to move, and the hydraulic medium inside the hydraulic chamber 7 can be forced out through the sealing block 701. After the hydraulic medium inside the hydraulic chamber 7 is forced out, the hydraulic medium will enter the drive cylinder 704 through the oil pipe 708 and drive the sealing plate 705 to move, thereby driving the valve core 6032 to rotate through the transmission rod 706, so that the valve 603 is in the open state when the slider 3 starts to move. Since the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the sealing block 601 and the slider 3 is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom of the slide column 2, the speed of the slider 3 can be kept consistent with the speed of the slide column 2 when it moves, thereby preventing sudden speed changes when the hydraulic cylinder extends and retracts.

[0031] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
