[0037] In an embodiment, the compensation chamber second part 4 is an annular chamber, which is sleeved on the outer side of the working chamber 2.

[0038] More specifically, referring to

[0039] More specifically, referring to Figure 1The second part 4 of the compensation cavity is always in communication with the first part 3 of the compensation cavity and has the same outer diameter as the first part 3 of the compensation cavity.

[0040] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The piston rod assembly 1 comprises a piston assembly 11 and a piston rod 12, the piston assembly 11 being located in the working cavity 2. The first end of the piston rod 12 is located outside the working cavity 2, and the second end of the piston rod 12 is located in the working cavity 2 and connected with the piston assembly 11.

[0041] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The gas spring comprises an outer cylinder 6 and an inner cylinder 7 sleeved in the outer cylinder 6. One end of the outer cylinder 6 is a closed end 61, and the other end is an open end 62. The open end 62 of the outer cylinder 6 is provided with an inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 and a guide sealing assembly 9. The guide sealing assembly 9 is located on the side of the inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 close to the open end 62 of the outer cylinder 6. A temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 is installed in the outer cylinder 6. The two ends of the inner cylinder 7 are fixed on the inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 and the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5, respectively. A piston assembly 11 is arranged in the inner cylinder 7. The first end of the piston rod 12 is located outside the outer cylinder 6, and the second end of the piston rod 12 is fixedly connected with the piston assembly 11 after passing through the inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 and the guide sealing assembly 9.

The outer cylinder 6 and the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 form the first part 3 of the compensation cavity. The inner cylinder 7, the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5, and the inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 form the working cavity 2.

[0043] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The inner side of the outer cylinder 6 is provided with a limiting rolling groove 63 for limiting the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 from one end. The position of the limiting rolling groove 63 is determined based on the product stroke of the gas spring.

[0044] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The open end 62 of the outer cylinder 6 is provided with a folding part 64,

[0045] Referring to Figure 1 When installed, the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5, the inner cylinder 7, the piston rod assembly 1, the inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8, and the guide sealing assembly 9 are loaded into the outer cylinder 6 from the open end 62 of the outer cylinder 6, and then the open end 62 of the outer cylinder 6 is bent inward to form the folding part 64. The folding part 64 limits the guide sealing assembly 9 to form effective sealing and guiding.

[0046] Specifically, when the piston rod assembly 1 is fully pressed in, the gas pressure in the working chamber 2 is equal to the gas pressure in the compensation chamber first part 3 and the compensation chamber second part 4; when the piston rod assembly 1 is fully extended, the gas pressure in the working chamber 2 is less than the gas pressure in the compensation chamber first part 3 and the compensation chamber second part 4.

[0047] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 comprises a valve shell body 51, a large sealing member 52, a temperature control sheet 53, a small sealing member 54 and a reinforcing gasket 55.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2 , the valve shell body 51 is located in the inner cylinder barrel 7 and the outer wall of the valve shell body 51 is gap-fitted with the inner wall of the inner cylinder barrel 7. The large sealing member 52 is arranged between the outer wall of the valve shell body 51 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder barrel 7. Specifically, the large sealing member 52 can be a sealing ring.

[0049] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the valve shell body 51 is connected with a limiting flange 56, the outer diameter of the limiting flange 56 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the outer cylinder barrel 6, realizing radial limiting and effectively avoiding the radial wobble amount between the inner cylinder barrel 7 and the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5. The side of the limiting flange 56 close to the closed end 61 of the outer cylinder barrel 6 is fixed or supported in the limiting rolling groove 63, realizing axial limiting of one end. Preferably, referring to Figure 3 , the limiting flange 56 is integrally formed with the valve shell body 51. The limiting flange 56 is provided with a communication channel 57 for communicating the compensation chamber first part 3 and the compensation chamber second part 4. The valve shell body 51 is provided with a fluid channel 511, one end of the fluid channel 511 is communicated with the working chamber 2, the other end of the fluid channel 511 is isolated from the compensation chamber first part 3 through the small sealing member 54 and the temperature control sheet 53; the valve shell body 51 is provided with a limiting buckle 512, the temperature control sheet 53 is buckled and connected to the valve shell body 51 through the limiting buckle 512, and the small sealing member 54 is abutted between the valve shell body 51 and the temperature control sheet 53, forming the sealing of the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5.

[0050] When the temperature of the temperature control sheet 53 decreases to a deformation threshold, the temperature control sheet 53 deforms, and the deformed temperature control sheet 53 is separated from the small sealing member 54, so that the fluid channel 511 is communicated with the compensation chamber first part 3.

[0051] Specifically, the valve shell body 51 is provided with a boss 513, and the small sealing member 54 is sleeved on the boss 513 and tightly connected with the boss 513.

[0052] Further, in order to avoid deformation of the limiting flange, the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 further comprises a reinforcing gasket 55, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the valve shell body 51, and one side end face of the reinforcing gasket 55 is connected with the one side end face of the inner cylinder 7 close to the first part of the compensation cavity, and the other side end face of the reinforcing gasket 55 is completely attached to the limiting flange 56.

[0053] In this embodiment, the reinforcing gasket 55 is arranged to enable the limiting flange 56 to bear the high-pressure gas load in the compensation cavity, and at the same time, the limiting flange 56 plays a limiting role together with the limiting flange 56, thereby avoiding displacement of the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5.

[0054] Referring to Figure 2 The reinforcing gasket 55 is made of hard metal material to avoid the valve shell from creeping towards the inner cylinder 7 under the action of the gas pressure in the first part 3 and the second part 4 of the compensation cavity during long-term storage of the product.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The limiting flange 56 is arranged on one side of the valve shell body 51 close to the closed end 61 of the outer cylinder 6.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The outer edge of the limiting flange 56 is provided with an array of annular notches in the circumferential direction, forming a communication channel 57 that communicates the first part 3 and the second part 4 of the compensation cavity. The communication channel 57 looks like a flower in overall from the side.

[0057] The working principle of the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 is as follows:

[0058] Since the first part 3 and the second part 4 of the compensation cavity are always in communication, for the sake of description, the cavity formed by the first part of the compensation cavity and the second part of the compensation cavity together will be referred to as the compensation cavity.

[0059] In the normal temperature state, the temperature control sheet 53 forms a sealing fit with the small sealing member 54, the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 is closed, the large sealing member 52 forms a sealing fit with the inner cylinder 7, and the two sealing fits form an isolation between the compensation cavity and the working cavity, realizing no compensation force in the normal temperature state.

[0060] In the low-temperature state, the temperature control sheet 53 is deformed by contraction, and the small sealing member 54 is not sealed with the temperature control sheet 53, the temperature compensation control valve assembly 5 is opened, the working cavity 2 and the compensation cavity are communicated, the high-pressure gas in the compensation cavity participates in the work, the product stiffness is reduced, the gas spring support force is increased, and the temperature compensation is realized.

[0061] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 4The inner-outer cylinder fixed sealing assembly 8 comprises a fixed block main body 81, an outer cylinder barrel matching sealing element 82 and an inner cylinder barrel matching sealing element 83. The outer wall of the fixed block main body 81 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the outer cylinder barrel 6 through a riveting structure. The side of the fixed block main body 81 close to the closed end 61 of the outer cylinder barrel 6 is provided with an inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811, the groove bottom of the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 abuts against the outer wall of the inner cylinder barrel 7, and the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 is used for limiting the inner cylinder barrel 7. The groove wall of the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 is tightly matched with the outer wall of the inner cylinder barrel 7. The outer cylinder barrel matching sealing element 82 abuts against between the outer wall of the fixed block main body 81 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder barrel 6, so as to realize the sealed connection between the fixed block main body 81 and the inner cylinder barrel 7. The inner cylinder barrel matching sealing element 83 abuts against between the groove wall of the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 and the outer wall of the inner cylinder barrel 7. The fixed block main body 81 is provided with a piston rod through hole 812 for the piston rod 12 to pass through.

[0062] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 A point riveting fixing groove 813 is formed in the outer wall of the fixed block main body 81. When riveting, the inner wall of the outer cylinder barrel 6 forms an inward protruding structure 65 which is embedded in the point riveting fixing groove 813, so as to realize the axial limiting between the outer cylinder barrel 6 and the fixed block main body 81.

[0063] In the embodiment, since the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 is formed in the fixed block main body 81, the concentricity between the inner cylinder barrel 7 and the outer cylinder barrel 6 is more easily ensured through the concentricity between the inner cylinder barrel limiting groove 811 and the outer wall of the fixed block main body 81, and the radial swing of the inner cylinder barrel 7 is effectively avoided.

[0064] The inner cylinder barrel matching sealing element 83 and the outer cylinder barrel matching sealing element 82 jointly ensure the separation between the working cavity 2 and the first part 3 of the compensation cavity.

[0065] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The gas spring further comprises a joint 10, and the closed end 61 of the outer cylinder barrel 6 and one end of the piston rod 12 located outside the working cavity 2 are respectively connected with the joint 10.

[0066] In the application, the guide sealing assembly 9 can adopt the existing structure and is not the main improvement point of the application, and thus is not described herein.

[0067] The temperature compensation principle of the application will be described below.

[0068] Referring to Figure 5 The volume of the working cavity 2 is V, the volume of the first part of the compensation cavity is V1, the volume of the second part of the compensation cavity is V2, and the volume of the stroke section piston rod is V p The product stroke of the gas spring is s.

[0069] Normal temperature state product stiffness = V / (V-Vp )

[0070] Low temperature state product stiffness = (V+V1+V2) / (V+V1+V2-V p ) = 1+V p / (V+V1+V2-V p )

[0071] It can be known that, compared with the gas spring with only the first part of the compensation cavity, the gas spring has smaller stiffness in the low temperature state. According to the principle that the greater the product stiffness is, the smaller the supporting force is, it can be known that the gas spring has greater supporting force in the low temperature state.

[0072] The traditional temperature compensation gas spring is a single cylinder compensation structure, and for the application occasions with long stroke and large low temperature compensation force, the traditional temperature compensation gas spring cannot meet the low temperature supporting function. However, the second part of the compensation cavity is additionally arranged on the circumference of the working cavity, so that the stroke design requirement can be met and the low temperature compensation force can be provided under the same installation space, the greater compensation force can be realized under the same installation stroke condition, the low temperature supporting effect is consistent with the normal temperature state, and the low temperature supporting force is avoided.

[0073] The utility model provides a kind of temperature compensation gas spring's thought and method, the method and approach of specifically realizing this technical scheme are many, above-mentioned is only preferred implementation mode of the utility model, it should be pointed out, for the ordinary skilled in the art of this technology, under the premise of not departing from the principle of the utility model, still can make several improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements also should be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model. The components not specified in the embodiment can be realized by prior art.
