Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic locks, and in particular to a two-way hydraulic lock. Background Technology

[0002] The role and importance of a two-way hydraulic lock in a hydraulic system cannot be ignored. Its primary function is to ensure unidirectional flow of hydraulic oil within the system, preventing reverse flow and thus protecting other components from damage. This type of lock is typically installed in the hydraulic system circuit, especially in applications requiring precise control of fluid direction. By using a two-way hydraulic lock, reverse flow of hydraulic oil due to pressure fluctuations or unexpected situations can be effectively avoided, ensuring system stability and reliability. Furthermore, it helps improve system efficiency because controlling the fluid flow direction reduces energy loss and optimizes the performance of the hydraulic system.

[0003] There is currently a Chinese patent document CN202322393632.6 regarding a bidirectional hydraulic lock for improving sealing performance. This patent describes a bidirectional hydraulic lock that improves sealing performance by providing buffer protection for the oil pipe when it sways, preventing pipe rupture. The bidirectional hydraulic lock includes a bidirectional hydraulic lock, fixed plates, fixing screws, and a first sealing ring. Fixed plates are located on both sides of the bidirectional hydraulic lock. Multiple fixing screws are rotatably connected to the opposite side of the fixed plates, and these screws are threadedly connected to the bidirectional hydraulic lock. A first sealing ring is connected to the adjacent side of the fixed plates. This invention achieves the effect of buffering and protecting the oil pipe when it sways, preventing pipe rupture, by connecting the oil supply pipe to a connecting guide screw threadedly. When the oil pipe sways, the connecting guide screw thread moves, causing a second spring to be compressed, contracted, and then rebound.

[0004] The aforementioned patent exhibits certain limitations in practical applications. Under high-intensity operating conditions, the spool valve reciprocates frequently in the bidirectional hydraulic lock to control the stability of the oil circuit. However, under high-intensity operating conditions, the spool valve may shift due to oil friction, resulting in incomplete locking and thus negatively impacting the stability of the hydraulic system.

[0005] To address this issue, a two-way hydraulic lock is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology in which the slide valve in the two-way hydraulic lock is often not locked tightly due to oil friction, this utility model provides a two-way hydraulic lock.

[0007] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0008] A two-way hydraulic lock, comprising

[0009] The lock body has a central cavity, and a first cavity and a second cavity are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central cavity. The central cavity has two symmetrical secondary cavities, and the two secondary cavities are provided with limiting rings. The inner wall of the central cavity is provided with a sliding groove.

[0010] The central cavity contains a lock cylinder, and the central peripheral wall of the lock cylinder is provided with a limiting block that matches the slide groove, and the limiting block is located in the slide groove. The peripheral wall of the lock cylinder is symmetrically provided with a first groove and a second groove, and an observation window is provided through the central cavity on one side of the lock body.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring valve core is installed in both the first cavity and the second cavity, and the spring valve core is provided with an installation recess near the peripheral wall of the first cavity and the second cavity. A sealing ring is installed in the installation recess, and a valve cover is provided at the end of the spring valve core near the lock cylinder.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the lock body is provided with an inlet a, the top of the inlet a is inclined and penetrates the first cavity to provide a channel a, and the top of the lock body penetrates the first cavity to provide an outlet a.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the top of the lock body is provided with an inlet b at the end away from outlet a, the top of the inlet b is inclined and penetrates the second cavity to provide a channel b, and the bottom of the lock body is provided with an outlet b at the end away from inlet a, penetrating the second cavity.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of positioning bolts are provided on one side of the outer wall of the spring valve core to fix it to the side wall of the lock body.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the grooves extend into the inner walls of the two secondary cavities.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both inlet a and inlet b have threaded inner walls.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. By setting a slide groove in the inner cavity, the limiting block on the peripheral wall of the lock cylinder is guided to move precisely through the slide groove, which effectively avoids the deviation caused by oil friction. At the same time, two secondary cavities are symmetrically set in the inner cavity. The limiting rings in the two secondary cavities limit the slider and ensure that the lock cylinder remains stable during reciprocating motion, thereby significantly improving the locking accuracy and system stability of the two-way hydraulic lock.

[0019] 2. An observation window is provided through the central cavity on one side of the lock body. Through the observation window, the positional changes of the first and second grooves on the peripheral wall of the lock cylinder can be monitored in real time, and the state of the lock cylinder can be detected and adjusted in a timely manner to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the hydraulic system.

[0020] 3. By setting channels a and b at an angle at inlet a and inlet b respectively, which are oil inlets, the oil is prevented from directly rushing into the first and second cavities of the lock body. Channels a and b optimize the oil flow path and reduce the impact force of the oil. At the same time, channels a and b connect the first and second cavities closer to the lock cylinder, ensuring uniform oil distribution and further reducing friction loss.

The a channel 61 is connected to the inside of the first cavity 3 and is inclined so that when the oil enters the first cavity 3, it does not directly impact the lock cylinder 2, but flows smoothly along the inclined surface, reducing pressure fluctuations and ensuring uniform oil distribution. The top of the lock body 1 is provided with an outlet 62 (a) that penetrates the first cavity 3 and is connected to the inside of the first cavity 3. The oil is discharged through the outlet 62.

[0037] Specifically, the top of the lock body 1 is provided with an inlet 7 (b) at the end away from outlet 62 (a).

Channel b 71 communicates with the interior of the second cavity 4 to ensure that the oil enters the second cavity 4 smoothly. Channel b 71 is inclined so that the oil flows along the slope when entering the second cavity 4, reducing impact. The bottom of the lock body 1, away from inlet a 62, penetrates the second cavity 4 to provide outlet b 72. Outlet b 72 communicates with the interior of the second cavity 4, and the oil is discharged through outlet b 72.

[0039] Specifically, a plurality of positioning bolts 54 are provided on one side of the outer wall of the spring valve core 5 to fix it to the side wall of the lock body 1.

When oil enters through inlet 6, the oil... The oil enters the first cavity 3 through channel a 61. The oil pushes the lock cylinder 2 to move into the second cavity 4. Under the push of the lock cylinder 2, the valve cover 53 located in the second cavity 4 is gradually squeezed, and the spring valve core 5 contracts. The oil flows from the inlet b 7 into channel b 71 and then into the second cavity 4. Under the action of the valve core, the oil is smoothly discharged from the outlet b 72. When the oil stops, under the action of the spring valve core 5, the lock cylinder 2 is pushed back to its original position. During the entire movement, the limiting block 23 on the peripheral wall of the lock cylinder 2 is always located in the slide groove 14. The limiting ring 13 in the secondary cavity 12 limits the displacement distance of the limiting block 23.
