Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic gate hoist cylinder technology, specifically a hydraulic gate hoist cylinder with an anti-bend structure. Background Technology
[0002] The hydraulic cylinder is the core actuator of a hydraulic gate hoist, and its performance directly affects the reliability, stability, and service life of the hoist. A hydraulic gate hoist is an integrated electromechanical-hydraulic device composed of a hydraulic system and hydraulic cylinders, primarily used for gate opening and closing control in water conservancy, hydropower, flood control and drainage, and river management projects. This equipment converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy through a hydraulic pump, driving a piston to move the gate linearly, and can adapt to various working conditions such as planar gates and curved gates.
[0003] Existing hydraulic cylinder structures often experience flexural deformation under long-term high-load operation due to the following reasons: thin cylinder walls and insufficient rigidity make them prone to radial bending under lateral forces. Flexural deformation can lead to increased wear of cylinder seals, causing oil leakage and affecting the working efficiency of the hoist. An unreasonable design of the fit clearance between the piston rod and the cylinder can result in uneven stress. Structural deformation may cause the piston rod to jam, or even lead to safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a hydraulic gate cylinder with an anti-bending structure to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic gate hoist cylinder with an anti-bending structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that existing cylinder structures often undergo bending deformation under long-term high-load operation due to the following reasons: the cylinder wall is thin and lacks rigidity, making it prone to radial bending under lateral force. Bending deformation will lead to accelerated wear of the cylinder seals, causing oil leakage and affecting the working efficiency of the gate hoist; the unreasonable design of the fit clearance between the piston rod and the cylinder barrel will lead to uneven force, and structural deformation may cause the piston rod to jam, or even cause safety accidents.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hydraulic cylinder for a gate opener with an anti-bend structure, comprising:

The hollow rod is slidably connected to the connecting rod, thereby limiting the further radial displacement of the piston rod and avoiding uneven force due to excessive gap, thereby improving the overall anti-bending ability of the cylinder.

[0025] 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.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a hydraulic gate cylinder with an anti-bending structure, comprising: cylinder body 1, slot 2, bushing 3, piston rod 4, end cap 5, fastening screw 6, reinforcing rib 7, annular sleeve 8, hollow rod 9, first bolt 10, connecting rod 11, connecting sleeve 12, second bolt 13, and guide sleeve 14.
[0027] Existing hydraulic cylinder structures often experience flexural deformation under long-term high-load operation due to the following reasons: thin cylinder walls and insufficient rigidity make them prone to radial bending under lateral forces. Flexural deformation can lead to increased wear of cylinder seals, causing oil leakage and affecting the working efficiency of the hoist. An unreasonable design of the clearance between the piston rod 4 and the cylinder can result in uneven stress. Structural deformation may cause the piston rod to jam, or even lead to safety accidents.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the cylinder body 1 has a slot 2 inside. The slot 2 is located in the middle or in the area where the force is concentrated. A bushing 3 is provided inside the slot 2. The piston rod 4 is slidably connected to the cylinder body 1 through the bushing 3. The piston rod 4 forms a rigid support point to distribute the lateral load, thereby achieving the effect of preventing deflection.
[0029] In addition, a reinforcing rib 7 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder body 1. The reinforcing rib 7 can be connected to the cylinder body 1 by welding or the cylinder body 1 and the reinforcing rib 7 can be integrally formed. The reinforcing rib 7 improves the bending resistance by increasing the moment of inertia of the cross section. An annular sleeve 8 is provided on the outer side of the cylinder body 1. The annular sleeve 8 is located outside the reinforcing rib 7. The annular sleeve 8 can further reinforce the reinforcing rib 7 and can also connect the hollow rod 9. In addition, the reinforcing rib 7 enhances the rigidity of the cylinder. The guide sleeve 14 on the lower side of the end cover 5 can limit the radial swing of the piston rod 4 and effectively prevent deflection.
[0030] In addition, the end cover 5 is connected to the cylinder body 1 through the guide sleeve 14. When it is necessary to replace or repair 4, the fastening screw 6 on the upper side of the end cover 5 can be removed for replacement.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a hollow rod 9 is provided on the upper side of the annular sleeve 8. The hollow rod 9, the first bolt 10, the connecting rod 11, and the second bolt 13 are all symmetrical about the vertical central axis of the cylinder body 1. The hollow rod 9 is threaded to the first bolt 10, and the first bolt 10 is slidably connected to the annular sleeve 8. The hollow rod 9 and the annular sleeve 8 can be fixedly connected by the first bolt 10. The connecting rod 11 is slidably connected inside the hollow rod 9, and the connecting rod 11 is threaded to the second bolt 13. The second bolt 13 is slidably connected to the connecting sleeve 12. Therefore, the connecting rod 11 and the connecting sleeve 12 can be fixedly connected by the second bolt 13. In addition, the connecting sleeve 12 is fixedly connected to the piston rod 4. When the piston rod 4 slides in the cylinder body 1, the piston rod 4 will allow the connecting rod 11 to slide in the hollow rod 9 through the connecting sleeve 12. The hollow rod 9 and the connecting rod 11 can limit the further radial displacement of the piston rod 4, avoid uneven force due to excessive clearance, and thus improve the overall anti-bending ability of the cylinder.
[0032] It should be noted that when the hollow rod 9 or the connecting rod 11 is found to be bent or deformed, it can be replaced by removing the first bolt 10 and the second bolt 13, which is a relatively simple operation.
