[0014] Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the outer side of the small cylindrical structure, and a first sealing ring is provided inside the annular groove. Furthermore, an annular groove is provided on the outer side of the guide member, and a second sealing ring is provided inside the annular groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the V-shaped seal is flared, with the upper end face smaller than the lower end face.

[0016] Furthermore, air holes are provided on the side of the tail plug.

[0024] The specific solutions and embodiments of this utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] As shown in the figure, a tension gas spring for a charging pile cantilever includes a cylinder body 7, an inner tube 11 inside the cylinder body 7, and a piston rod 9 inside the inner tube 11. A V-shaped seal 13, a piston pad 10, a tension spring piston 2, and a rear sealing member 8 are sequentially fitted onto the front end of the piston rod 9. A sleeve 14, a rear sealing member 1, and a guide member 6 are sequentially fitted onto the rear end of the piston rod 9, with the rear sealing member 1 located inside the guide member 6. A tail plug 5 is provided at the outer end of both the sealing member 8 and the guide member 6. The bottom of the sealing member 8 and the bottom of the sleeve 14 are located inside the inner tube 11. Both the cylinder body 7 and the inner tube 11 are filled with nitrogen. This structure is not limited in length.

[0026] A third sealing ring 12 is provided between the end of the piston rod 9 and the V-shaped seal 13.

[0027] The tension spring piston 2 has an annular groove on its outer circumference, and a first sealing ring 3 is provided in the annular groove.

[0028] The sealing structure includes a large cylindrical structure formed in one piece and a small cylindrical structure located at the bottom of the large cylindrical structure. The small cylindrical structure is located inside the inner tube 11.

[0029] The outer side of the large cylindrical structure is provided with an annular groove, and a second sealing ring 4 is provided inside the annular groove.

[0030] The small cylindrical structure has an annular groove on its outer side, and a first sealing ring 3 is installed inside the annular groove. The guide member 6 has an annular groove on its outer side, and a second sealing ring 4 is installed inside the annular groove.

[0031] The V-shaped seal 13 is flared, with the upper end face smaller than the lower end face.

[0032] The tail plug 5 has air holes on its side. The holes on the side of the tail plug 5 allow air to enter and exit when the gas spring piston 2 is stretched. After drilling the holes on the side, a sealing process is used to hide the air holes, making the product more aesthetically pleasing.

[0033] There are multiple annular grooves, usually two or three, and the corresponding number of first sealing rings 3 or second sealing rings 4 are also set accordingly.

[0034] After the piston rod 9 is stretched, the gas compression provides the stretching force. The inner chamber (inner chamber) of the stretching gas spring tube 11 and the outer chamber (outer chamber) of the cylinder 7 are used to store gas. A small gas compression ratio results in a smaller linear change in stress value. The V-shaped seal 13 serves as the first seal to prevent gas leakage. The piston uses a double-groove design and is equipped with a sealing ring to prevent leakage from the outside. As the second seal to prevent gas leakage, the sealing member 8 at the piston riveting joint is also equipped with a sealing ring to prevent gas leakage from the inside. The guide member 6 and the sleeve 14 at the end are further sealed at the tail end.

[0035] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention.
