Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic cylinder technology, specifically to a hydraulic cylinder buffer structure for mitigating the impact force generated when the hydraulic cylinder piston strikes the guide sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion. It has a simple structure and reliable operation. When used to achieve reciprocating motion, it eliminates the need for a speed reduction device, eliminates transmission backlash, and provides smooth movement. Therefore, it is widely used in the hydraulic systems of various machines.
[0003] In existing technologies, during the operation of a hydraulic cylinder, the rapid movement of the piston often generates a significant impact force on the guide sleeve. This not only damages the hydraulic cylinder but also shortens its service life. Therefore, designing a buffer structure that can effectively reduce the impact of the hydraulic cylinder piston on the guide sleeve is particularly important. Utility Model Content
[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder buffer structure. Through the gradual throttling effect formed when the buffer block enters the guide sleeve, the movement of the hydraulic cylinder is significantly reduced, thereby protecting the hydraulic cylinder from impact and achieving a buffering effect. This solves the technical problem of hydraulic cylinder damage caused by the rapid movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston impacting the guide sleeve.
[0006] (II) Technical Solution
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hydraulic cylinder buffer structure, including a hydraulic cylinder piston rod, on the outer circumference of which a guide sleeve and a bushing are fitted with a clearance fit. A buffer block is connected to the end of the piston rod, and a piston is connected to the other end of the buffer block. The outer diameter of the buffer block and the inner diameter of the guide sleeve form a clearance fit of 0.05-0.1mm. When the piston rod returns, the buffer block enters the guide sleeve to form a hydraulic oil throttling channel.
[0008] Furthermore, sleeves are fitted onto the outer diameter circumference of the guide sleeve, bushing, and piston using a clearance fit.
[0009] Furthermore, the buffer block is connected to the end of the piston rod with an interference fit of 0.02-0.03 mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the guide sleeve is provided with an annular oil storage groove, the depth of which is 1 / 8 to 1 / 5 of the diameter of the buffer block.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the buffer block is divided into a planar segment and a conical transition segment. The inclination angle of the conical transition segment is 30°-45°, and the length of the conical transition segment accounts for 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the total length of the buffer block.
[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the outer diameter of the guide sleeve and the bushing and the inner diameter of the sleeve.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a hydraulic cylinder buffer structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. The hydraulic cylinder buffer structure mainly consists of two parts: a guide sleeve and a buffer block. It has a simple structure, is easy to process and install, and does not require complicated tools and equipment during installation.
[0016] 2. The hydraulic cylinder buffer structure uses a buffer block fixed to the end of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod to first enter the inner cavity of the guide sleeve through a conical transition section. The conical structure design with an inclination angle of 30°-45° gradually reduces the cross-sectional area of the oil flow, forming a progressive throttling effect. Due to the throttling effect, the movement of the hydraulic cylinder is greatly reduced, thereby protecting the hydraulic cylinder from impact, achieving a buffering effect, improving the service life of the hydraulic cylinder, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-2A hydraulic cylinder buffer structure includes a hydraulic cylinder piston rod 1. A guide sleeve 2 and a bushing 3 are fitted onto the outer circumference of the piston rod 1 with a clearance fit. A buffer block 4 is connected to the end of the piston rod 1 with an interference fit of 0.02-0.03 mm. A piston 5 is connected to the other end of the buffer block 4. The outer diameter of the buffer block 4 and the inner diameter of the guide sleeve 2 form a clearance fit of 0.05-0.1 mm. When the piston rod 1 returns, the buffer block 4 enters the guide sleeve 2 to form hydraulic oil. Throttling channel; the inner wall of the guide sleeve 2 is provided with an annular oil reservoir 7, the depth of which is 1 / 8-1 / 5 of the diameter of the buffer block 4; the outer circumference of the buffer block 4 is divided into a flat section 401 and a conical transition section 402, the inclination angle of the conical transition section 402 is 30°-45°, and the length of the conical transition section 402 accounts for 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the total length of the buffer block 4; a sleeve 6 is fitted on the outer circumference of the guide sleeve 2, the bushing 3 and the piston 5 in a clearance fit; a sealing ring 8 is provided between the outer diameter of the guide sleeve 2 and the bushing 3 and the inner diameter of the sleeve 6.
[0022] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0023] In operation, when the hydraulic cylinder piston rod 1 begins its return stroke, the buffer block 4 fixed to the end of the piston rod 1 first enters the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 2 through a tapered transition section 402. The tapered structure design with an inclination angle of 30°-45° gradually reduces the cross-sectional area for oil flow, creating a progressive throttling effect. Then, the flat section 401 continues to enter the inner cavity of the guide sleeve 2. This throttling effect significantly reduces the movement of the hydraulic cylinder, thus protecting it from impact and achieving a buffering effect.
