Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of hydraulic cylinder technology, and more particularly to a cylinder head for a hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] The cylinder head is the upper cover of a hydraulic cylinder, also known as the cylinder head or cylinder top cover. It is located on top of the hydraulic cylinder and is connected to the cylinder body to form a complete hydraulic cylinder structure. The function of the cylinder head is to seal the top of the hydraulic cylinder and provide the function of connecting and supporting other components of the hydraulic cylinder. It is usually made of strong metal materials, such as cast iron, aluminum alloy or steel, to provide sufficient strength and durability.
[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN221942871U provides a hydraulic cylinder head, including a cylinder head body. The outer surface of the cylinder head body has threaded holes, and a heat-conducting plate is attached to the outer surface of the cylinder head body. The surface of the heat-conducting plate has perforations. This invention solves the problem that existing hydraulic cylinder heads typically lack active heat dissipation structures. When the hydraulic cylinder is used at high frequency, the cylinder head temperature rises, and high temperatures can cause the seals to age, harden, or deform, thereby reducing sealing performance and increasing the risk of leakage.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned patent still has some defects. If the position where the cylinder head contacts the piston is the end point of the hydraulic cylinder's stroke, and the position where the bottom of the cylinder contacts the piston is the start point of the hydraulic cylinder's stroke, when the hydraulic cylinder moves from the start point to the end point, the piston has a large kinetic energy under high-speed movement, which may cause mechanical collision with the cylinder head, resulting in impact, noise, or even damage to the cylinder head and piston.

[0042] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 9This application provides a cylinder head for a hydraulic cylinder, which is mainly installed on the cylinder body 1 of a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder also includes a piston 2, which is located inside the cylinder body 1 and its rod passes through the cylinder head. The cylinder head includes a cylinder head body 3, in which several oil chambers 4 are formed and interconnected. One of a first buffer plug 51 or a second buffer plug 52 is installed in each oil chamber 4. A connecting rod 6 is fixed to the side of the first buffer plug 51 near the piston 2 and passes through the cylinder head body 3. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder head body 3. The connecting plate 7 is annular. A first compression spring 81 is provided in the oil cavity 4 where the first buffer plug 51 is installed, and the first compression spring 81 is located on the side of the first buffer plug 51 away from the connecting rod 6. A second compression spring 82 is provided in the oil cavity 4 where the second buffer plug 52 is installed. The second compression spring 82 is fixedly connected to the side of the second buffer plug 52 near the piston 2. Hydraulic oil is injected into the part of the oil cavity 4 where the first buffer plug 51 is away from the piston 2 and the part of the oil cavity 4 where the second buffer plug 52 is away from the piston 2.
[0044] The following description, using a specific application scenario, further illustrates the hydraulic cylinder's operation. When piston 2 moves towards the cylinder head, it first contacts and pushes abutment plate 7. During this movement, abutment plate 7, driven by connecting rod 6, causes the first buffer plug 51 to move away from piston 2, thus compressing the first compression spring 81. Simultaneously, this causes hydraulic oil in the oil chamber 4 containing the first buffer plug 51 to move towards the oil chamber 4 containing the second buffer plug 52, pushing the second buffer plug 52 closer to piston 2. This process also compresses the second compression spring 82. It should be noted that the first and second buffer plugs 51 and 52 should have good sealing properties with the inner wall of the oil chamber 4. When piston 2 impacts abutment plate 7, the elastic force of the first compression spring 81 and the second compression spring 82, as well as the friction between the first buffer plug 51, the second buffer plug 52 and the oil chamber 4, can effectively improve the force relief effect on piston 2, reduce the collision intensity between piston 2 and cylinder head, effectively protect piston 2 and cylinder head, and improve the service life of hydraulic cylinder.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 As a specific embodiment of this application, the oil chambers 4 in the cylinder head body 3 are distributed in a circular array, and the positions of the first buffer plug 51 and the second buffer plug 52 are alternately arranged. That is, if the first buffer plug 51 is provided in one of the oil chambers 4, the second buffer plug is provided in the two adjacent oil chambers 4.
[0046] Based on specific usage scenarios, by arranging the oil chambers 4 in a circular array within the cylinder head body 3, and by alternately setting the first buffer plug 51 and the second buffer plug 52, the structure of the cylinder head body 3 can be made more symmetrical, thereby making the force and movement of the first buffer plug 51 and the second buffer plug 52 more uniform and balanced, thus improving the stability of the cylinder head body 3 in use.
[0047] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of this application, the cylinder head body 3 includes a base 31 mounted on the cylinder body 1 by a plurality of third screws 102, and an oil chamber 4 is opened in the base 31. A cover 32 is installed on the side of the base 31 away from the piston 2 by a plurality of first screws 100. An annular cavity 321 is opened in the cover 32, and all the oil chambers 4 are interconnected through the annular cavity 321.
[0048] Based on specific usage scenarios, the cylinder head body 3 is designed as a split style of base 31 and cover 32, which facilitates the installation of the first buffer plug 51, the second buffer plug 52, the first compression spring 81, and the second compression spring 82, as well as subsequent maintenance and replacement.
[0049] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 An oil injection hole 322 is provided on the cover 32, and the oil injection hole 322 is connected to the annular cavity 321. An oil injection screw 14 is threadedly connected to the cover 32 at the oil injection hole 322. After the cylinder head is assembled, the oil injection screw 14 is loosened, and then hydraulic oil is added into the annular cavity 321 from the oil injection hole 322 to fill the oil cavity 4. Finally, the oil injection screw 14 is tightened to ensure that the hydraulic oil does not leak.
[0050] Further, refer to 2- Figure 6 The cover 32 or the base 31 has a mating flange 91 and a mating groove 92. After the cover 32 and the base 31 are installed, the mating flange 91 is inserted into the mating groove 92. A baffle 11 is installed on the base 31 by several second screws 101. After the cylinder head of the oil cylinder is assembled, the baffle 11 is located in the mating groove 92. Several limiting holes 111 are opened on the baffle 11. The limiting holes 111 correspond one-to-one with the oil chamber 4. The diameter of the limiting holes 111 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first compression spring 81. A sealing rubber gasket 12 is provided in the mating groove 92. The sealing rubber gasket 12 is located on the side of the baffle 11 away from the base 31. A through hole 121 corresponding one-to-one with the position of the limiting hole 111 is opened on the sealing rubber gasket.
[0051] In combination with specific application scenarios, the setting of the mating groove 92 and the mating flange 91 and their cooperation can increase the connection area between the base 31 and the cover 32, making the cylinder head body 3 more robust and stable. In addition, the cooperation of the mating flange 91 and the mating groove 92, as well as the setting of the baffle 11 and the sealing rubber gasket 12, can also increase the connection sealing between the cover 32 and the base 31.
[0052] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The sealing rubber gasket 12 has at least two circular alignment protrusions 122, and the alignment protrusions 122 correspond to the positions of the limiting holes 111. The outer diameter of the alignment protrusions 122 is equal to the diameter of the limiting holes 111.
[0053] In specific application scenarios, when installing the sealing rubber gasket 12, the alignment protrusion 122 is aligned with the limiting hole 111, and the alignment protrusion 122 is inserted into the limiting hole 111. In this way, the cooperation of at least two alignment protrusions 122 with the limiting hole 111 can fix the sealing rubber gasket 12 on the baffle 11, so that the sealing rubber gasket 12 will not change position during the installation process. This ensures that the corresponding position of the alignment limiting hole 111 and the adjusting hole on the sealing rubber gasket 12 will not deviate, and that hydraulic oil will not be blocked at the sealing rubber gasket 12, thereby making the hydraulic cylinder more stable in use.
[0054] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 A first buffer rubber pad 131 is installed on the side of the abutment plate 7 near the piston 2. The first buffer rubber pad 131 can reduce the collision intensity between the piston 2 and the abutment plate 7, thereby improving the protection effect on the piston 2 and the abutment plate 7 to a certain extent, and thus improving the stability of their use.
[0055] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 A second buffer rubber pad 132 is installed on the side of the abutment plate 7 away from the piston 2. The second buffer rubber pad 132 can reduce the collision intensity between the abutment plate 7 and the cylinder head body 3, and further improve the protection effect of the cylinder head body 3.
[0056] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 As a specific embodiment of this application, a third compression spring 83 is installed between the abutment plate 7 and the cylinder head body 3, and the third compression spring 83 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 6.
[0057] By incorporating a third compression spring 83, the impact and collision resistance between the abutment plate 7 and the cylinder head body 3 can be further enhanced, thus improving the force relief effect on the piston 2, enhancing the protection of the cylinder head and piston 2, and consequently extending the service life of the hydraulic cylinder. It should be understood that the various processes described above can be used, with steps rearranged, added, or deleted. For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application is achieved; no limitation is imposed herein.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0059] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
