Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic technology, and in particular to a double-rod hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] A double-rod hydraulic cylinder allows the piston rods on both sides to extend synchronously when oil is supplied through one port. However, for both piston rods to retract synchronously, oil must be supplied to the rod chambers on both sides simultaneously. Furthermore, to limit the retraction of the piston rods, traditional double-rod hydraulic cylinders typically use a small-diameter steel pipe in the middle, with additional steel pipes welded to the sides. However, when the cylinder structure is compact or the installation space is limited, this structure is difficult to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The diagram illustrates an embodiment of a double-rod hydraulic cylinder, comprising a cylinder body 9, which is a cylindrical structure with openings at both ends. A first oil port connector 10, a second oil port connector 11, and a third oil port connector 12 are evenly arranged along the length of the outer wall of the cylinder body 9, communicating with the interior of the cylinder body 9. Two piston assemblies are symmetrically and retractably installed in the openings at both ends of the cylinder body 9. A limiting block 14 is connected to the axial center of the outer side of the cylinder body 9, with one end penetrating into the interior of the cylinder body 9 and located between the two piston assemblies. An oil pipe 13 is also shown, with both ends connected to the side walls of the cylinder body 9 and communicating with the first oil port connector 10 and the third oil port connector 12, respectively.
[0031] In this embodiment, the portion of the limiting block 14 located inside the cylinder 9 restricts the retraction stroke of the piston assembly, while the portion located outside the cylinder 9 is used for external mechanical limiting.
[0032] In this embodiment, each piston assembly includes a piston rod 1, which is inserted into the opening of the cylinder 9; a piston 6, which is located inside the cylinder 9 and connected to the tail of the piston rod 1 by a nut 8; a dust seal 2 and a shaft seal 4, which are respectively located inside the cylinder 9 and at the opening, and are sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 1, with the shaft seal 4 located inside the dust seal 2; and an end cap 6, which is sealed and detachably connected to the end of the cylinder 9 and sleeved on the outside of the piston rod 1, with the end cap 3 located outside the dust seal 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the second oil port connector 11 is connected to the rodless chamber of the cylinder 9, and the first oil port connector 10 and the third oil port connector 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding rod chambers of the cylinder 9. Oil is introduced through the second oil port connector 11 to achieve synchronous extension of the two piston rods, and oil is introduced through the first oil port connector 10 or the third oil port connector 12 to achieve synchronous retraction of the two piston rods.
[0034] In this embodiment, the two pistons 6 are respectively provided with piston sealing rings 7, which are used to isolate the rod chamber and the rodless chamber in the cylinder 9.
[0035] In this embodiment, a rod chamber 15 is formed between the piston 6, piston rod 1, shaft seal ring 4 and cylinder 9.
[0036] In this embodiment, a rodless chamber 16 is formed between the two pistons 6 and the cylinder 9.
[0037] In this embodiment, the second oil port connector 11 is connected to the rodless chamber 16, and the first oil port connector 10 and the third oil port connector 12 are respectively connected to the two rod chambers 15.
[0038] The following description will further illustrate the characteristics and functions of this utility model.
[0039] This embodiment provides a double-rod hydraulic cylinder, including a cylinder body, piston rod, end cap, piston, nut, etc. The cylinder body has three oil port connectors on its outer circumference (i.e., first oil port connector 10, second oil port connector 11, and third oil port connector 12, the first oil port connector 10 and the third oil port connector 12 are connected by an oil pipe 13), oil pipe, limiting block, etc. The exposed part of the limiting block serves to limit the hydraulic cylinder, while the part inside the cylinder limits the retraction length of the piston rod. When located in the middle of the cylinder body, the stroke length on both sides is consistent. The oil pipe connects the left and right sides of the cylinder body, allowing the two rod chambers to communicate with each other. The piston rod is cylindrical, with an ear hole at one end for connecting a working device, and a threaded end for installing the piston and locking nut. The end cap is connected to the cylinder body to form a sealed working cavity and limits the extension length of the piston rod. This double-rod hydraulic cylinder solves the problems of fixed space and cumbersome connection of conventional hydraulic cylinders, and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0040] Specifically, the piston rod, piston, and end cap are all in pairs, installed on the left and right sides of the cylinder body respectively. The piston rod is cylindrical, with an ear hole at one end for connecting to the working device, and the other end for connecting to the piston and nut. The limiting block is welded and fixed after being perforated on the cylinder body. The part exposed on the outside of the cylinder body serves as a limiting function when the cylinder is working, while the part inside the cylinder body serves as a limiting function when the piston rod retracts. The limiting block is generally located at the center of the cylinder body's axis, ensuring consistent stroke on both sides. The oil pipe is welded to the left and right sides of the cylinder body, allowing the two rod-side working chambers to communicate with each other. There are three oil port connectors on the outer circumference of the cylinder body, which can be welded or directly machined. The middle oil port connects to the rodless chamber, and when oil enters through this port, the piston rods on both sides extend synchronously. Only one of the oil port connectors on the left and right sides needs to be filled with oil to achieve synchronous retraction of the two piston rods. The radial angle of the limiting block can be adjusted according to actual needs. When the axis is located at the center, the cylinder is not distinguished by left or right, and either the left or right oil port can be connected during use.
[0041] In summary, the double-rod hydraulic cylinder of this invention has a simple and compact structure, is easy to manufacture, and is convenient to use. It eliminates the need for modular hydraulic cylinders and allows for synchronous retraction of the pistons on both sides through a single oil port.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
