[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a self-lubricating hydraulic cylinder piston rod assembly, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This self-lubricating hydraulic cylinder piston rod assembly incorporates a lubrication mechanism and a pressing mechanism. The lubrication mechanism's housing stores lubricant. Initially, the pressure plate, under the action of the return spring, is positioned near the right side of the housing's inner wall. At this point, the housing contains a certain amount of lubricant, and the sponge ring also absorbs a certain amount of lubricant. The sponge ring is in contact with the outer side of the piston rod, providing initial lubrication. When the piston rod moves to a certain position to the left, the pressing mechanism activates. The moving plate, located to the right of the vertical plate, pushes the vertical plate to the left as the piston rod continues to move to the left. The vertical plate, via a connecting rod, causes the pressure plate to slide to the left within the housing, compressing the lubricant. Under pressure, the lubricant enters the inner side of the ring through a connecting pipe and further penetrates into the sponge ring, causing the sponge ring to absorb more lubricant, thus continuously providing sufficient lubricant to the piston rod. The lubrication reduces friction and wear on the piston rod during movement. When the piston rod retracts to the right, the pressure of the moving plate on the vertical plate disappears. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the vertical plate moves to the right, causing the pressure plate to slide to the right and return to its initial position within the box. At the same time, a negative pressure is formed within the box, which facilitates the smooth entry of lubricant into the box and its compression output during the next press, thus achieving the purpose of having a lubrication structure. If lubrication is not required, the moving plate can be pulled to the left, causing the swing rod to move to the left, which compresses the connecting spring and slides on the outside of the crossbar. When it can no longer move, the swing rod is rotated upwards and moved to the inside of the slot. After releasing, the swing rod moves to the right under the tension of the connecting spring. At this time, the moving plate is in the position above the mounting box. When the piston rod moves, the moving plate no longer contacts the vertical plate, thus no longer squeezing the lubricating oil, and the hydraulic cylinder can be used normally.

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.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-lubricating hydraulic cylinder piston rod assembly, including a front end cover 1, a housing 2 movably mounted on the right side of the front end cover 1, a connecting pipe 3 movably mounted on the right side of the housing 2, a rear end cover 4 movably mounted on the right side of the connecting pipe 3, an oil inlet pipe 5 extending to its bottom fixedly mounted on the left side of the inner bottom wall of the housing 2, an oil return pipe 6 extending to its bottom fixedly mounted on the right side of the inner bottom wall of the housing 2, a piston rod assembly 7 penetrating the connecting pipe 3 and extending to the right side of the rear end cover 4, a lubrication mechanism 8 located outside the piston rod assembly 7 located on the inner side of the rear end cover 4, a pressing mechanism 9 located on the right side of the piston rod assembly 7, and a pull ring 10 located on the right side of the pressing mechanism 9.
[0024] The piston rod assembly 7 includes a piston rod 71. The piston rod 71, which is slidably installed on the inner side of the housing 2, passes through the connecting pipe 3 and extends to the right side of the rear end cover 4, and is the actuating component of the hydraulic cylinder. Under the action of hydraulic oil, it makes linear reciprocating motion in the housing 2 to realize the transmission of mechanical energy. It can be used to drive other mechanical equipment or complete specific work tasks. A piston block 72, which fits against the inner wall of the housing 2, is fixedly installed on the left side of the piston rod 71. A sealing ring 73 is movably installed on the outer side of the piston block 72 to play a sealing role, preventing hydraulic oil from leaking between the piston block 72 and the inner wall of the housing 2, ensuring that the hydraulic system can build up pressure normally, and improving the working efficiency and reliability of the hydraulic cylinder. A plug rod 74 is fixedly installed on the left side of the piston block 72.
[0025] The lubrication mechanism 8 includes a ring 801. A ring 801 extending to the inner side of the rear end cover 4 is fixedly installed on the right side of the ring 801. A sponge ring 802, which fits against the outer side of the piston rod 71, is movably installed on the inner side of the ring 801. This sponge ring absorbs lubricant and, when the piston rod 71 moves, applies lubricant to its surface, thus reducing friction and wear between the piston rod 71 and the rear end cover 4 and extending the equipment's service life. A mounting groove 803 is provided on the right side of the rear end cover 4. A box 804 extending to the right side of the rear end cover 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting groove 803. A cover 805 is movably installed on the right side of the inner wall of the box 804. A pressure plate is slidably installed on the inner side of the box 804. 806. A connecting pipe 807 extending to the inner side of the ring 801 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inner wall of the box 804. Two connecting rods 808 extending to the right side of the cover 805 are fixedly installed on the right side of the pressure plate 806. A vertical plate 809 is fixedly installed between the right sides of the two connecting rods 808. A return spring 810 fixedly connected to the cover 804 is fixedly installed on the left side of the vertical plate 809. The elastic coefficient of the return spring 810 can be set according to the requirements to provide a return force for the vertical plate 809, so that the vertical plate 809 can return to the initial position when no external force is applied. At the same time, it ensures that the lubrication mechanism 8 can return to normal state after the pressing mechanism 9 is released, ready for the next lubrication operation.
[0026] The inner wall of the box 804 has a circular hole on the rear side that matches the connecting pipe 807. The inner side of the ring 801 has an annular groove. The inner wall of the ring 801 has a circular hole on the front side that matches the connecting pipe 807. The cover 805 has a through hole inside. The size of the through hole matches the connecting rod 808. A rubber pad is fixedly installed on the right side of the vertical plate 809. There are two return springs 810.
[0027] The pressing mechanism 9 includes a mounting box 91. The mounting box 91 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the piston rod 71. The pull ring 10 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the mounting box 91. A crossbar 94 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the inner wall of the mounting box 91. A limit hole 92 is opened on the front side of the inner wall of the mounting box 91. A slot hole 93 is opened on the inner top wall of the mounting box 91. A movable cylinder 95 is slidably mounted on the right side of the crossbar 94. A connecting spring 96 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the movable cylinder 95, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 91 and sleeved on the outside of the crossbar 94. The spring coefficient of spring 96 can be set according to requirements. The right side of the movable cylinder 95 is rotatably connected to a swing rod 97 extending to the front side of the mounting box 91. A movable plate 98 is fixedly installed at the front end of the swing rod 97. The movable plate 98 is located on the right side of the vertical plate 809. The rotation setting of the swing rod 97 facilitates changing the state of the movable plate 98. When the movable plate 98 is located in front of the mounting box 91, it can contact the vertical plate 809. When the movable plate 98 is located above the mounting box 91, it cannot contact the vertical plate 809 and the lubricant cannot be squeezed out.
[0028] The left side of the movable cylinder 95 is provided with a circular groove that matches the crossbar 94, and one end of the swing rod 97 is rotatably connected to the movable cylinder 95 through a support shaft.
[0029] During use, install the front cover 1, housing 2, connecting pipe 3, and rear cover 4 in sequence, ensuring tight and sealed connections between components to prevent hydraulic oil leakage. Connect the inlet pipe 5 and return pipe 6 to the corresponding pipes of the external hydraulic system, ensuring secure connections to prevent loosening that could lead to hydraulic oil leakage or unstable pressure. Add an appropriate amount of lubricant to the housing 804 of the lubrication mechanism 8 to ensure sufficient lubrication for the piston rod 71 during its movement. Start the external hydraulic system and control the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil as needed. When piston rod 71 extends, hydraulic oil enters housing 2 from oil inlet pipe 5, pushing piston rod 71 to the right. When piston rod 71 needs to retract, hydraulic oil flows out from oil return pipe 6, causing piston rod 71 to move to the left under internal pressure and external load. During the movement of piston rod 71, lubrication mechanism 8 automatically provides lubrication to piston rod 71. When piston rod 71 moves to the right to the trigger position of pressing mechanism 9, pressing mechanism 9 pushes the pressure plate 806 of lubrication mechanism 8 to compress lubricant, thereby replenishing the lubricant supply and ensuring that piston rod 71 is always in a good lubrication state.
[0030] Regularly check the connections of each component to ensure that there are no loose connections or leaks between the front cover 1, housing 2, connecting pipe 3, and rear cover 4. Check the connection between the oil inlet pipe 5 and the oil return pipe 6 to ensure they are secure and that the pipes are not damaged or aged. Replace them promptly if necessary. Regularly check the lubricant level in the lubrication mechanism 8. When the lubricant is insufficient, add lubricant to the housing 804 in time to ensure lubrication. Check the wear of the sealing ring 73. If the sealing ring 73 is found to be damaged or aged, it should be replaced in time to prevent hydraulic oil leakage from affecting the normal operation of the hydraulic system.
[0031] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0032] In summary, this self-lubricating hydraulic cylinder piston rod assembly, through the provision of a lubrication mechanism 8 and a pressing mechanism 9, utilizes a housing 804 within the lubrication mechanism 8 to store lubricant. Initially, the pressure plate 806, under the action of the return spring 810, is positioned near the right side of the inner wall of the housing 804. At this time, the housing 804 stores a certain amount of lubricant, and the sponge ring 802 also absorbs a certain amount of lubricant. The sponge ring 802 is in contact with the outer side of the piston rod 71, providing initial lubrication for the piston rod 71. When the piston rod 71 moves to a certain position to the left, the pressing mechanism 9... Mechanism 9 begins to function. The movable plate 98 is located to the right of the vertical plate 809. As the piston rod 71 continues to move to the left, the movable plate 98 pushes the vertical plate 809 to the left. The vertical plate 809, via the connecting rod 808, causes the pressure plate 806 to slide to the left within the housing 804, compressing the lubricant inside. Under pressure, the lubricant enters the inner side of the ring 801 through the connecting pipe 807 and further penetrates into the sponge ring 802, causing the sponge ring 802 to absorb more lubricant. This continuously provides sufficient lubrication to the piston rod 71, reducing the risk of piston rod 71 failure. 1. During the movement, friction and wear occur. When the piston rod 71 retracts to the right, the pressure of the moving plate 98 on the vertical plate 809 disappears. Under the elastic force of the return spring 810, the vertical plate 809 moves to the right, causing the pressure plate 806 to slide to the right within the housing 804 and return to its initial position. At the same time, a negative pressure is formed within the housing 804, which facilitates the smooth entry of lubricant into the housing 804 and its compression and output during the next press, thus achieving the purpose of having a lubrication structure. If lubrication is not required, the moving plate 98 can be pulled to the left, causing the swing rod 97 to move to the left, thereby compressing and connecting the moving cylinder 95. Spring 96 slides on the outside of crossbar 94. When it can no longer move, rotate swing rod 97 to move it up to the inside of slot 93. After releasing, the swing rod 97 moves to the right under the tension of connecting spring 96. At this time, moving plate 98 is above mounting box 91. When piston rod 71 moves, moving plate 98 no longer contacts vertical plate 809, so the lubricating oil is no longer squeezed. The hydraulic cylinder can be used normally, which solves the problem of insufficient lubricating oil on piston rod after long-term use due to the lack of a lubrication structure, which affects the use of hydraulic cylinder.
