Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of hydraulic cylinder positioning devices, and discloses a hydraulic cylinder with mechanical positioning and locking. BACKGROUND

[0002] One of the core problems faced by traditional hydraulic cylinders in industrial applications is the insufficient dynamic stability of the output end. Especially in the case of frequent start-stop, high load or vibration environment, the output end is prone to circumferential deflection or axial movement, resulting in a decrease in equipment positioning accuracy and even causing safety accidents. In the prior art, the existing solutions for output end locking have the following significant defects:

[0003] Limitations of hydraulic locking:

[0004] The locking mode that relies on the hydraulic system to maintain pressure (such as a hydraulic control check valve) is prone to internal leakage due to aging of the sealing element or changes in oil temperature, and the locking force decays over time, which cannot meet the long-term static working condition requirements.

[0005] When the hydraulic pump is stopped, the oil line pressure is zero, and the output end is completely lost, which poses a risk of uncontrolled descent of heavy equipment.

[0006] Disadvantages of mechanical locking structure:

[0007] External brake device: additional brake pads, calipers and other components are required, which occupies a large space and is complex to install, and is difficult to adapt to compact equipment. For example, a certain type of crane hydraulic cylinder uses an external disc brake for locking, and the brake response delay is more than 0.5 seconds, which cannot meet the precise positioning requirements.

[0008] Gear rack limiting: the axial displacement is limited by the gear rack meshing, but the tooth surface contact can only inhibit one-way movement and cannot prevent the output end from circumferential deflection. In addition, the meshing gap is easy to occur after the rack wears, resulting in a decrease in positioning accuracy.

[0009] Therefore, the inventor has provided a hydraulic cylinder with mechanical positioning and locking to solve the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0010] The utility model aims at solving the problem that the output end of the existing hydraulic cylinder may be deflected.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model discloses a kind of hydraulic cylinder of mechanical positioning locking using, including the cylinder body with oil inlet and oil outlet being arranged in side wall, the output end being slidably connected with cylinder body, it is characterized in that, including the support strip being symmetrically arranged in both sides of cylinder body, telescopic rod being slidably connected on support strip and the fixed structure for fixing the height of telescopic rod, further including the locking structure for locking output end and preventing output end from deflecting, the locking structure includes the card and gear being coaxially connected on output end, the connecting frame being symmetrically fixed to the top of corresponding telescopic rod and the other end is all fixed to the top of card and gear, the card and groove ring being symmetrically slidably connected on connecting frame and can be fixed with card and gear, driving element is further provided on connecting frame and is slidably driven card and groove ring.

[0012] Further, the fixed structure includes a groove arranged in the corresponding support strip, a limiting groove vertically arranged on the telescopic rod, and a locking block that can be sequentially clamped into the limiting groove and the groove.

[0013] Further, the connecting frame is provided with a guide groove, and the top of the card and groove ring is fixedly connected with a connecting rod provided with an internal thread.

[0014] Further, the driving element includes a micro motor arranged on the side wall of the connecting frame and electrically connected with a controller, a threaded rod coaxially connected with the output shaft of the micro motor and located in the guide groove, and the connecting rod is threadedly connected with the threaded rod.

[0015] Further, the card and groove ring is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves that can be clamped with the card and gear, and the card and groove rings on both sides can be spliced into a locking ring that fixes the direction of the output end.

[0016] Further, the card and groove ring is provided with a rubber pad.

[0017] The principle and effect of the basic scheme are as follows:

[0018] 1. Full circumferential dynamic locking and anti-deflection capability:

[0019] The design of splicing the locking ring by the double-sided clamping groove ring can form a 360° circumferential constraint on the output end when the groove rings on both sides are driven by the micro motor to slide towards the center and spliced into a complete ring structure, completely eliminating the risk of deflection.

[0020] The multi-tooth surface engagement of the clamping gear and the groove ring provides distributed locking force, which improves the carrying capacity compared to single-point contact locking, and can adapt to higher torque load.

[0021] 2. Intelligent adaptive locking control:

[0022] The electrically controlled driving element realizes precise linkage between locking state and hydraulic action:

[0023] When the hydraulic system starts, the controller sends a signal to the micro motor synchronously, drives the threaded rod to separate the clamping groove ring, and the output end is free to move;

[0024] When the hydraulic system stops, the micro motor automatically reverses, and the groove ring is meshed and locked within 0.2 seconds, and the response speed is greatly improved compared with the traditional mechanical locking;

[0025] The rubber pad layer absorbs impact energy at the moment of locking, reduces meshing noise, and avoids micromotion wear caused by metal hard contact.

[0026] 3. Modular height adjustment and rapid adaptation:

[0027] The fixed structure adopts the plug-in design of the limiting groove and the locking block, and by replacing the locking blocks with different distances, the height adjustment of the telescopic rod can be completed within 30 seconds, and different stroke requirements can be adapted without disassembling the overall structure.

[0028] The symmetrical layout of the support strip and the cylinder body uniformly distributes the locking force, avoids deformation of the cylinder body caused by unilateral stress, and prolongs the service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
