Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of piston rod technology, and in particular to a piston rod assembly for a hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] A hydraulic cylinder is an actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, and it is widely used in engineering machinery, metallurgical equipment, shipbuilding, aerospace and other fields. The piston rod assembly is one of the core components of a hydraulic cylinder, mainly composed of a piston rod, piston head, seals and connecting parts. Its working principle is that the pressure of hydraulic oil drives the piston rod to reciprocate, thereby driving an external load.

[0003] Traditional hydraulic cylinders lack effective buffering devices at the end of their stroke, resulting in direct collision between the piston head and the cylinder body, causing impact and vibration that affects equipment stability and lifespan. Furthermore, insufficient buffering design leads to significant noise during high-frequency operation. Additionally, the high sliding friction between the piston rod and cylinder body results in increased energy loss and wear. Moreover, traditional lubrication methods (such as external oiling) have limited effectiveness and cannot meet the demands of long-term, high-intensity operation. Therefore, we propose a piston rod assembly for hydraulic cylinders. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Traditional hydraulic cylinders lack effective buffering devices at the end of their stroke, causing direct collisions between the piston head and the cylinder body, resulting in impacts and vibrations that affect equipment stability and lifespan. Furthermore, due to insufficient buffering structure design, the hydraulic cylinder generates significant noise during high-frequency operation. On the other hand, the sliding friction between the piston rod and the cylinder body is substantial, leading to increased energy loss and wear. Moreover, traditional lubrication methods (such as external oiling) have limited effectiveness and are insufficient to meet the demands of long-term, high-intensity operation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A piston rod assembly for a hydraulic cylinder includes a piston rod body and a piston head. The piston head is mounted on the piston rod body near the bottom end. An extension rod is provided in the middle of the piston rod body. The piston rod body is slidably connected to the extension rod. A buffer device is provided on the bottom end of the piston rod body near the hydraulic cylinder.

[0007] A self-lubricating bearing sleeve is provided on the outer wall of the piston head.

[0008] Furthermore, a first groove is provided on the outer wall of the extension rod, and a plurality of second grooves are provided on one side of the first groove, the second grooves being "L" shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​hole is provided at the end of the second groove away from the first groove, and a snap-fit ​​block is provided on the inner wall of one end of the piston rod body connecting to the extension rod. The snap-fit ​​block is cylindrical and is slidably connected in the first groove and the second groove. The snap-fit ​​block and the snap-fit ​​hole fit together.

[0010] Furthermore, the maximum tensile length of the piston rod body is the same as the length of the first groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the piston head is provided with a number of recessed patterns, and the inner wall of the self-lubricating bearing sleeve is provided with a number of raised strips, the raised strips and the recessed patterns matching each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the self-lubricating bearing sleeve is made of composite material, and a solid lubricant is provided inside the self-lubricating bearing sleeve.

[0013] Furthermore, the buffer device is equipped with several springs, and each spring contains a telescopic sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, a groove is formed at the bottom of the piston rod body, and a thread is provided in the groove. A buffer pad is provided on the side of the bottom of the piston rod body near the buffer device, and the piston rod body is threadedly connected to the buffer device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. A buffer device is installed on the bottom end of the piston rod body near the hydraulic cylinder. The design of the buffer device improves the working stability of the hydraulic cylinder, extends the service life of the equipment, and reduces noise during high-frequency operation, thus improving the working environment.

[0017] 2. A self-lubricating bearing sleeve is installed on the outer wall of the piston head. During the reciprocating motion of the piston rod, the self-lubricating bearing sleeve continuously releases lubricant, forming a low-friction interface, which significantly reduces the sliding friction between the piston rod and the cylinder. This design not only reduces energy loss but also reduces wear and extends the service life of the piston rod and the cylinder, making it particularly suitable for long-term, high-intensity working scenarios.

[0018] 3. The piston rod body and the extension rod are connected by a snap-fit ​​block and a groove, which makes the piston rod length adjustable. Users can adjust the extension length of the piston rod according to actual needs, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the hydraulic cylinder. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a piston rod assembly for a hydraulic cylinder, including a piston rod body 1 and a piston head 2. The piston head 2 is installed near the bottom end of the piston rod body 1. An extension rod 101 is provided in the middle of the piston rod body 1, and the piston rod body 1 is slidably connected to the extension rod 101. The user can adjust the length of the piston rod body 1 according to actual needs through the extension rod 101. A buffer device 102 is provided on the bottom end of the piston rod body 1 near the hydraulic cylinder. When the piston rod body 1 approaches the end of its stroke, the buffer device 102 starts to work, absorbing impact energy and reducing vibration and noise. This design improves the working stability and service life of the hydraulic cylinder. A self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 is provided on the outer wall of the piston head 2. The self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 is used to reduce friction and wear.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a first groove 103 is formed on the outer wall of the extension rod 101. Several second grooves 104 are formed on one side of the first groove 103. The second grooves 104 are L-shaped. A snap-fit ​​hole 105 is formed at the end of the second groove 104 away from the first groove 103. A snap-fit ​​block 106 is provided on the inner wall of the piston rod body 1 at the end connected to the extension rod 101. The snap-fit ​​block 106 is cylindrical and slidably connected within the first groove 103 and the second grooves 104. The snap-fit ​​block 106 and the snap-fit ​​hole 105 are mutually engaged. This engagement design ensures a stable connection and avoids stress concentration problems that may occur with traditional threaded connections or welding methods. The maximum extension length of the piston rod body 1 is the same as the length of the first groove 103. Users can adjust the extension length of the piston rod body 1 according to actual needs, improving the versatility and adaptability of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0033] The outer wall of the piston head 2 is provided with several recessed patterns 202, and the inner wall of the self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 is provided with several raised strips 203. The raised strips 203 and the recessed patterns 202 fit together. The self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 is made of composite material and contains solid lubricant. The raised strips 203 on the inner wall of the self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 and the recessed patterns 202 on the outer wall of the piston head 2 fit together, which not only enhances the sealing performance, but also further optimizes the lubrication effect. This integrated design reduces the risk of hydraulic oil leakage, while reducing the maintenance frequency and cost.

[0034] The buffer device 102 has several springs 107 installed inside, and telescopic sleeves 108 are installed inside the springs 107. A groove is opened at the bottom of the piston rod body 1, and the groove is threaded. A buffer pad 109 is provided on the bottom of the piston rod body 1 near the buffer device 102. The piston rod body 1 is threadedly connected to the buffer device 102. When the piston rod body 1 approaches the end of its stroke, the buffer device 102 absorbs the impact energy through the elastic deformation of the springs 107, which significantly reduces the direct collision between the piston head 2 and the cylinder, and reduces the impact and vibration.

[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When using a piston rod assembly for a hydraulic cylinder, the length of the piston rod is first adjusted according to the user's actual needs by sliding the position of the piston rod body 1 on the extension rod 101. The locking block 106 slides within the first groove 103 and the second groove 104, and finally engages with the locking hole 105 to ensure a stable connection.

[0036] When the piston rod body 1 approaches the end of its stroke, the buffer device 102 begins to function. The spring 107 and the telescopic sleeve 108 absorb impact energy through elastic deformation, reducing direct collision between the piston head 2 and the cylinder body, thus reducing impact and vibration. The solid lubricant in the self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201 is continuously released during the reciprocating motion of the piston rod, forming a low-friction interface and reducing friction and wear. The matching design of the raised strip 203 and the recessed pattern 202 enhances the sealing performance and reduces hydraulic oil leakage. Through the synergistic effect of the buffer device 102 and the self-lubricating bearing sleeve 201, the hydraulic cylinder operates more smoothly at high frequencies, with lower noise, less energy loss, and extended service life of the equipment.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
