Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic cylinder, specifically a hydraulic cylinder with an external leakage oil reuse structure. Background Technology

[0002] Injection molding machines, also known as injection molding machines, are the main molding equipment used to create various shapes of plastic products from thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics using plastic molds. The injection cylinders of injection molding machines are prone to oil leakage due to their high operating frequency. The main area of ​​oil leakage is the seals between the cylinder head and piston rod. The reciprocating motion over a long period causes oil to accumulate at the seals. If not drained promptly, the accumulated oil can eventually break through the seals, leading to continuous leakage at the cylinder's dust seal. This pollutes the environment, damages the dust seal, and reduces the sealing effect of the U-ring, which plays a crucial role in high-pressure sealing. Therefore, the current approach is usually to replace the seals and dust seals after leakage occurs. This only provides a remedial effect but causes serious environmental pollution and is difficult to detect. Another method involves adding an oil drain device. Existing drain devices typically involve connecting a long hose from the bottom of the cylinder head to the oil tank. Because it's a leak, the amount of oil leaking is small, and the oil flows down to the tank under its own weight, resulting in significant resistance. The hose cannot be twisted during assembly, and it's usually quite long, leading to high costs. This is detrimental to the overall aesthetics and economic efficiency of the machine. Over time, the hose is also prone to damage, which is difficult to detect. This structure has the following problems during use: 1. High economic cost and unsightly appearance; 2. Difficulty in achieving uniformity in hose tightening and binding, hindering mass production; 3. Excessive hose length can lead to twisting and compression, obstructing oil flow; 4. Over time, the hose is prone to damage, which is difficult to detect. Utility Model Content

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] Depend on Figure 1 Combination Figure 2-3 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder with an external leakage oil recycling structure includes a cylinder body 1, and further includes:

[0025] Piston 2 is disposed inside cylinder 1 and slides with piston 2. The piston 2 divides the space inside cylinder 1 into rod chamber 11 and rodless chamber 12.

[0026] Piston rod 3 is mounted on piston 2 and is linked with piston 2;

[0027] The first cover 4 is connected to the cylinder 1; the piston rod 3 passes through the first cover 4 and is located outside the cylinder 1; the first cover 4 is provided with a sealing ring 41 and a dustproof ring 42, and an annular groove 43 is provided between the sealing ring 41 and the dustproof ring 42; the first cover 4 is provided with an oil drain hole 44 that communicates with the annular groove 43.

[0028] A connector 5 is disposed on the first cover 4. At least one end of the connector 5 is connected to the oil drain hole 44 and cooperates with the first cover 4 to form a sealed cavity 51. The advantages of this invention are that the connector catches leaked oil from the first cover, preventing oil waste and environmental pollution. The structure is simple, does not affect the machine, and is suitable for mass production. This invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable operation, and long service life.

[0029] There are two oil drain holes 44. The two ends of the connector 5 are connected to different oil drain holes 44. The different oil drain holes 44 are all provided on the first cover and connected to the annular groove 43.

[0030] The first cover has two oil drain holes that are interconnected (via a connector). Lubrication connectors are installed at two points on the first cover, and these connectors are screwed onto the cylinder head for sealing. In practice, the lubrication connectors can be detachably connected to the first cover. The two lubrication connectors are connected by a transparent nylon tube (connector). This transparent nylon tube is hollow; when oil leakage accumulates to a certain level, the oil flows into the transparent nylon tube, effectively increasing the volume of the annular oil groove. Its functions are as follows: 1. It can accommodate more leaked oil, effectively increasing the volume of the annular groove; 2. It allows direct observation of the rate at which the oil level rises in the transparent nylon tube, enabling accurate assessment of the extent of damage to the internal U-ring (sealing ring). In other words, if the oil level rises rapidly within a few days or a short period, it indicates that the U-ring is damaged and needs to be replaced; conversely, a slow rise indicates a good seal. Thirdly, the leaking oil in the annular groove lubricates the piston rod. Fourthly, it solves the problem of the previously required long hoses connecting the first cover to the oil tank, which made oil drainage difficult and complicated. Long hoses were necessary and prone to leaks that polluted the environment. This invention reduces costs and eliminates the problem of aging and damage to the nylon hoses. Fifthly, it has a simple and aesthetically pleasing design; the transparent nylon tube is easy to observe and doesn't take up much space. Sixthly, when the transparent nylon tube is full of oil, the oil can be easily and quickly drained by disconnecting the lubrication connector above the first cover, even without stopping the machine. Because the leaked oil is minimal and requires a long accumulation period to fill the transparent nylon tube, there's no need to frequently disconnect the tube to drain oil; draining is very convenient once full. Seventhly, it improves the overall quality and economic efficiency of the machine.

[0031] The connecting member 5 is connected to the first cover 4 via a lubrication connector 52. Specifically, both ends of the connecting member 5 are provided with the lubrication connector 52, and the connecting member 5 is detachably connected to at least one lubrication connector 52. In practice, the detachable connection can be achieved by using the lubrication connector to the first cover, or the connecting member can be detachably connected to the lubrication connector to facilitate the emptying of leaked oil from the hollow connecting member during oil drainage.

[0032] The two oil drain holes 44 are located on the upper and lower sides of the first cover 4. The connector 5 is located outside the first cover 4 and is detachably connected to the oil drain holes 44, creating a height difference between the two ends of the connector 5. Specifically, the detachable connection can be achieved by a lubrication connector to the first cover, or the connector can be detachably connected to the lubrication connector, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the connector and the oil drain holes. This allows the upper end of the connector to be separated from the lubrication connector, while the leaked oil remains within the sealed cavity and is concentrated at the lower end of the connector, facilitating the collection and reuse of the leaked oil.

[0033] The first cover 4 has a working hole 45 through which the piston rod 3 passes. An annular groove 43 surrounds the working hole 45. There are at least two oil drain holes 44, each connected to the annular groove 43. These drain holes 44 are connected outside the first cover 4 by a connector 5, which cooperates with the drain holes 44 to form the sealing cavity 51. This structure facilitates the collection of leaked oil. In practice, the preferred embodiment of this invention is to have two oil drain holes, although three, four, or even more can also be used.

[0034] The connector 5 is integrally molded from nylon material. Specifically, the connector 5 is a transparent tubular fitting. This structure makes the connector easy to process, easy to install, and easy to observe oil leakage, thereby determining whether the sealing ring needs to be replaced.

[0035] The sealing ring 41 is a U-shaped ring, and the dustproof ring 42 includes a first support 421, a second support 422, and a third support 423. The first support 421 and the second support 422 are V-shaped and fit against the outer surface of the piston rod 3, while the third support 423 fits against the first cover 4. This structure ensures reliable sealing and a simple design.

[0036] This utility model also includes a second cover 6. The first cover 4 has a first oil inlet 46, and the second cover 6 has a second oil inlet 61. The first oil inlet 46 is connected to the rod chamber 11, and the second oil inlet 61 is connected to the rodless chamber 12. This structure makes the piston movement smooth and facilitates oil intake and discharge.
