Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of locking cylinder relates to a push rod fork adjustable locking cylinder. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the automobile steering system, the locking cylinder is a key component, which is usually installed on the follow-up bridge of a large trailer and bears the important responsibility of steering locking of the follow-up bridge. The existing locking cylinder has two major problems. On the one hand, the distance of the internal push rod fork is fixed and cannot be adjusted. During the actual installation of the vehicle, due to the differences in the structural design of different vehicle models, the requirements for the distance of the push rod fork of the locking cylinder are also different. This unadjustability results in the need to spend a lot of time and effort to adapt during installation, and even may affect the overall assembly progress of the vehicle, greatly reducing the installation convenience. On the other hand, the front cover and the cylinder body of the locking cylinder are connected by bolts at the connection, which is a rigid connection. Although rigid connection can provide a certain fastening effect, small gaps are easily produced on the connection surface. When the locking cylinder is working, the internal gas pressure is large, and these small gaps will become a channel for gas leakage, thereby affecting the air tightness of the locking cylinder. Poor air tightness will reduce the working efficiency of the locking cylinder and make it unable to accurately realize the steering locking function of the follow-up bridge, and in severe cases, may also affect the safety and stability of the vehicle during driving.

[0028] As Figures 1-7 The utility model uses the principle as shown in the figure: the working principle is based on the cooperation of gas pressure drive and mechanical structure. When the outside gas enters into the cylinder body 2 through the air inlet 21, the gas pressure acts on the left side of the piston 31, pushes the piston 31 to slide right in the cylinder body 2, and the piston 31 drives the push rod disc 32 to move synchronously, and the push rod disc 32 drives the push rod 42 to stretch out right through the push rod seat 41. In this process, the spring 34 is compressed. When the air inlet 21 stops air intake, the air outlet 11 starts to exhaust, the spring 34 releases the elastic potential energy, pushes the piston 31 to reset left, and realizes the retraction of the push rod 42.

[0029] First, the adjustable function of the push rod fork assembly 4 is realized: the middle part of the connecting rod 43 is threadedly connected with the right end of the push rod 42, by rotating the connecting rod 43, the position of the connecting fork 44 relative to the push rod 42 can be changed, and then the overall length of the push rod fork assembly 4 is adjusted, the diversified demand for distance when installing different vehicles is met, and the installation convenience is improved.

[0030] Secondly, the combined slip ring 6 arranged at the internal connection between the front cover 1 and the cylinder body 2 can effectively fill the gap at the connection, enhance the air tightness, and ensure the stable and efficient work of the locking cylinder.

[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, the left side of the front cover 1 is provided with an annular guide groove one 13 for assembling the dustproof sleeve 7, the left end and the right end of the dustproof sleeve 7 are both provided with an annular guide groove two 71, and the annular guide groove two 71 is internally installed with a clamp 72.

[0036] The ball rod part 411 cooperates with the ball groove 315, and when the piston 31 moves to the right end limit position, the piston 31 is still closely attached to the left end surface of the push rod seat 41, and the push rod fork assembly 4 cannot move axially again; the buffer O-ring 414 plays a buffering role, reducing the impact between components. The conical ball part 412 cooperates with the conical hole 321 to transmit the thrust, and the steel wire 314 ensures that the push rod disc 32 and the piston 31 move synchronously, effectively transmitting power.

[0040] The Y-shaped sealing ring 311 utilizes its special shape to closely fit the inner wall of the cylinder body 2 under the action of gas pressure, achieving good sealing, and the shaft steel wire 313 ensures that the Y-shaped sealing ring 311 moves synchronously with the piston 31, effectively preventing the gas in the cylinder body 2 from leaking from the gap between the piston 31 and the inner wall of the cylinder body 2, and ensuring the stability of the internal pressure of the locking cylinder.

[0041] As a further preferred embodiment, the right side of the piston 31 is provided with a spring rebound positioning ring 312, the left side of the spring rebound positioning ring 312 abuts against the right end surface of the push rod disc 32, and the left side of the spring 34 is sleeved on the left end protruding ring 3121 of the spring rebound positioning ring 312.
