Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic damper, and more particularly to a pressure relief valve. Background Technology
[0002] The description in this section provides only background information related to the disclosure of this utility model and does not constitute prior art.
[0003] In automated equipment, linear motion machinery is generally equipped with hydraulic dampers. Taking elevators as an example, hydraulic dampers are used to protect the elevator from direct impacts from external components when it reaches a preset point during operation. Specifically, they buffer the elevator at one end, allowing it to smoothly reach the preset point.
[0004] During the installation of existing hydraulic shock absorbers, operators need to fill them with the appropriate amount of hydraulic oil according to the actual site requirements. However, in some cases, due to improper operation or changes in the equipment, the amount of hydraulic oil in the shock absorber may not meet the needs. Especially in cases of excessive hydraulic oil filling, the piston stroke of the shock absorber becomes shorter, leading to a sudden increase in internal pressure under impact and causing structural damage. Therefore, some existing hydraulic shock absorbers, to address these situations and for safety reasons, require an additional cavity to hold the hydraulic oil. However, this results in an excessively large shock absorber, increasing costs.
[0005] In some existing technologies, a pressure relief valve is installed on the outer cylinder of the hydraulic buffer to allow the high-pressure oil to be ejected, which indirectly reduces the size of the cylinder. However, the existing pressure relief valves are difficult to install and not easy to process.
[0006] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solutions of this utility model and facilitating understanding by those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that these technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because they have been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pressure relief valve that can be installed by squeezing an elastic component into the valve hole of the main body, which is convenient to install and the main body itself is easy to process.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a pressure relief valve, wherein the hydraulic damper includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, and a piston assembly. The outer cylinder is sleeved outside the inner cylinder, and the inner cylinder is provided with a throttling orifice. The end of the piston assembly passes through the outer cylinder and is installed in the inner cylinder, and the end of the piston assembly is used to move within the inner cylinder. The pressure relief valve includes:
[0009] The body includes a flange and a rod, which are connected together. The diameter of the flange is larger than the diameter of the rod, and the rod is provided with external threads. The body has a valve hole that passes through the flange and the rod. The rod is threaded into the outer cylinder, and the flange is used to abut against the outer wall of the outer cylinder.
[0010] An elastic component, the initial size of which is larger than the inner diameter of the valve orifice, is installed in the valve orifice. The elastic component is fixed to the valve orifice by means of the friction generated by elastic deformation, so that the valve orifice is sealed.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the body has a mounting hole at one end of the valve hole facing the flange, the inner diameter of the mounting hole is larger than the inner diameter of the valve hole, and the mounting hole is connected to the valve hole.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the mounting hole is configured as an internal hexagonal structure.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, an annular inclined surface is provided between the mounting hole and the valve hole, and the inner diameter of the annular inclined surface gradually increases from the valve hole to the mounting hole.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the initial shape of the elastic component is set as a sphere, and the elastic component installed in the valve hole is in contact with the inner wall surface of the valve hole.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, the elastic component is made of rubber.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the diameter of the elastic component is smaller than the length of the valve hole, so that the elastic component has a gap at the front and back in the valve hole.
[0017] This utility model also provides a hydraulic damper, which includes a hydraulic cylinder, an inner hydraulic cylinder, and a piston assembly. The outer hydraulic cylinder is sleeved outside the inner hydraulic cylinder. The inner hydraulic cylinder is provided with a throttling orifice. The end of the piston assembly passes through the outer hydraulic cylinder and is installed in the inner hydraulic cylinder. The end of the piston assembly is used to move in the inner hydraulic cylinder. The outer hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic damper is equipped with a pressure relief valve as described above, and there are multiple pressure relief valves.
[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] The pressure relief valve of this invention can be easily installed by pressing an elastic component into the valve hole of the main body, and the main body itself is easy to manufacture. Specifically, during installation, the main body of the pressure relief valve can be pre-installed as a fastener on the outer cylinder, and then the elastic component can be directly inserted into the valve hole of the main body. Since the size of the elastic component is larger than the inner diameter of the valve hole, the pressed elastic component can be firmly fixed in the valve hole by friction, thus achieving closure of the valve hole. After releasing the oil pressure and ejecting the elastic component, the elastic component of the pressure relief valve can still be quickly reinstalled from the outside of the valve, significantly reducing maintenance costs. In this embodiment, the main body itself can be manufactured by a mature process using ordinary bolt fasteners through perforation, reducing costs.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment provides a pressure relief valve for installation on a hydraulic buffer. The hydraulic buffer includes an outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 2, and a piston assembly 3. The outer cylinder 1 is sleeved outside the inner cylinder 2. The inner cylinder has a throttling orifice 21. The end of the piston assembly 3 passes through the outer cylinder 1 and is installed in the inner cylinder 2. The end of the piston assembly 3 is used to move within the inner cylinder 2. The pressure relief valve includes:
[0034] The body 4 includes a flange 41 and a rod 42, which are connected together. The diameter of the flange 41 is larger than the diameter of the rod 42, and the rod 42 is provided with an external thread 43. The body 4 has a valve hole 44 that passes through the flange 41 and the rod 42. The rod 42 is threaded 43 and installed in the outer cylinder 1, and the flange 41 is used to abut against the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1.
[0035] The elastic component 5 has an initial size larger than the inner diameter of the valve hole 44. The elastic component 5 is installed in the valve hole 44 and is fixed to the valve hole 44 by means of the friction generated by the elastic deformation, so that the valve hole 44 is sealed.
[0036] by Figure 2 For example, the hydraulic buffer contains hydraulic oil. Before use, the operator only needs to fill the inner cylinder 2 with a preset amount of hydraulic oil and then tightly fit the end of the piston assembly 3 into the inner cylinder 2, preventing the hydraulic oil from flowing out of the inner cylinder 2 towards the piston assembly 3. During use, the other end of the piston assembly 3 is subjected to force and flows towards... Figure 2 As the piston moves downward, the end piston structure at the bottom of the piston assembly 3 exerts downward pressure on the hydraulic oil in the inner cylinder 2. The hydraulic oil provides stable resistance to the piston assembly 2. At the same time, some of the hydraulic oil flows from the throttle hole 21 of the inner cylinder 2 to the outer cylinder 1. The piston assembly 3 continues to move downward until the force at the top of the piston assembly 3 weakens or disappears. The piston assembly 3 is then reset by means of the return spring in the piston assembly 3. One end of the return spring abuts against the top of the outer cylinder, and the other end abuts against the bottom side of the top of the piston assembly 3.
[0037] In extreme cases, when the piston assembly 3 is subjected to a large force at its top, the hydraulic oil level in the outer cylinder 1 becomes too high, even filling it completely. In this situation, some of the hydraulic oil may flow to... Figure 1 The pressure relief valve rod 42 is inserted into the valve hole 44, and outward pressure is applied to the elastic member 5 in the valve hole 44. At this time, the friction between the elastic member 5 and the inner wall of the valve hole 44 is insufficient to cope with the pressure of the hydraulic oil. The elastic member 5 and the valve hole 44 are in motion and friction. The elastic member 5 is pushed towards the flange 41 until the elastic member 5 is finally ejected. The hydraulic oil can also be ejected from the body 4, and the oil pressure is released, avoiding damage to the structure caused by excessive oil pressure.
[0038] After resetting, the valve hole 44 in the body 4 can be cleaned, and then the elastic component 5 can be reinstalled into the valve hole 44 to reset the sealing function of the pressure relief valve.
[0039] The method described above for pressing the elastic component 5 into the valve hole 44 of the main body 4 is convenient to install, and the main body 4 itself is easy to process. Specifically, in the installation of the pressure relief valve of this utility model, the main body 4 of the main body can be directly installed on the outer oil cylinder 1 as a fastener in advance, and then the elastic component 5 can be directly inserted into the valve hole 44 of the main body 4. Since the size of the elastic component 5 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve hole 44, the pressed elastic component 5 can be firmly fixed in the valve hole 44 by friction, thus achieving the closure of the valve hole 44 before and after. After releasing the oil pressure and ejecting the elastic component 5, the elastic component 5 of the pressure relief valve can still be quickly reinstalled from the outside of the pressure relief valve, significantly reducing maintenance costs. In this embodiment, the main body 1 itself can be manufactured by a mature process using ordinary bolt fasteners through perforation, reducing costs.
[0040] In the above structure, the rod portion 42 of the body 4 is slightly longer than the flange portion 41, thus allowing the valve hole 44 to have a certain travel space for the elastic component 5 to slide. This prevents the elastic component 5 from being directly ejected by accidental, brief, non-destructive impacts, which would affect maintenance efficiency and increase maintenance burden. In this embodiment, the length of the rod portion 42 is approximately 1-2 times that of the flange portion 41.
[0041] The body 4 has a mounting hole 45 at the end of the valve hole 44 facing the flange 41. The inner diameter of the mounting hole 45 is larger than the inner diameter of the valve hole 44, and the mounting hole 45 communicates with the valve hole 44. The mounting hole 45 is located on the outer side, while the valve hole 44 is located on the inner side. Therefore, the mounting hole 45 can serve as a guide hole for installing the elastic member 5 into the valve hole. It has a larger diameter, making it easier for the operator to insert the elastic member 5 into the mounting hole 45. Since the mounting hole 45 communicates with the valve hole 44, which is ultimately used to position the elastic member 5, only a certain amount of additional pressure is needed to squeeze the elastic member 5 from the mounting hole 45 into the valve hole 44. Compared to a structure with only the valve hole 44, it is easier to install the elastic member 5.
[0042] In another embodiment, based on the above-mentioned mounting hole 45 structure, the mounting hole 45 is set as an internal hexagon structure. Therefore, the pressure relief valve can also function as a fixing fastener, which can assist in the stability of the external cylinder 1 structure and directly assist in the installation of the internal hexagon fastener.
[0043] Please see Figure 1An annular inclined surface 46 is provided between the mounting hole 45 and the valve hole 44. The inner diameter of the annular inclined surface 46 gradually increases from the valve hole 44 to the mounting hole 45. The annular inclined surface 46 actually serves as a transition guide surface between the mounting hole 45 and the valve hole 44. Its purpose is to facilitate the installation of the elastic component 5 in the embodiment described above, where "applying additional pressure allows the elastic component 5 to be squeezed from the mounting hole 45 into the valve hole 44, making the installation of the elastic component 5 easier compared to a structure with only the valve hole 44." By utilizing the annular inclined surface 46, the installation process experiences less resistance and is easier to install stably and evenly in the valve hole 44 compared to a right-angle connection.
[0044] Furthermore, the initial shape of the elastic component 5 is set as a sphere, and the elastic component 5 installed in the valve hole 44 contacts the inner wall surface of the valve hole 44. Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic component 5 is set as an elastic rubber ball with a diameter of approximately 1.5 of the valve hole 44, which can produce the following after compression: Figure 1 The surface that is in annular contact with the valve hole 44, as shown, has greater frictional resistance and is therefore more stable.
[0045] In another embodiment, the diameter of the elastic member 5 is smaller than the length of the valve hole 44, so that there is a gap between the elastic member 5 and the valve hole 44. That is, in this embodiment, the elastic member 5 can move at least a certain distance in the valve hole 44 when subjected to external force, so as to avoid the elastic member 5 detaching from the valve hole 44 due to a short but ineffective hydraulic shock, which would increase the maintenance workload.
[0046] This utility model also protects a hydraulic damper, which includes a hydraulic cylinder 1, an inner hydraulic cylinder 2, and a piston assembly 3. The outer hydraulic cylinder 1 is sleeved outside the inner hydraulic cylinder 2. The inner hydraulic cylinder 2 is provided with a throttling orifice 21. The end of the piston assembly 3 passes through the outer hydraulic cylinder 1 and is installed in the inner hydraulic cylinder 2. The end of the piston assembly 3 is used to move in the inner hydraulic cylinder 2. The outer hydraulic cylinder 1 of the hydraulic damper is equipped with a pressure relief valve as described in the above embodiment. There are multiple pressure relief valves, so the release of hydraulic oil in the outer hydraulic cylinder 1 can be more uniform and stable.
