Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spring cylinders, specifically to a spring cylinder bottom. Background Technology

[0002] A nitrogen spring, also known as a nitrogen cylinder, is a new type of elastic component that uses nitrogen as the working medium to provide constant pressure and delayed action for corresponding parts. A nitrogen spring is a flexible elastic device. Nitrogen springs are ideal for tire-mounted construction machinery that frequently operates on uneven terrain, where elastic suspension is unsuitable. Rigid suspension, on the other hand, relies solely on the pressure of the tires for partial damping. However, construction machinery with rigid suspension experiences bouncing even at slightly increased speeds. Nitrogen springs, with their superior damping effect, small size, and light weight, are increasingly widely used.

[0003] Existing spring cylinders typically consist of a cylinder body, with a certain amount of nitrogen gas filling the spherical chamber within the cylinder body and a certain amount of oil filling the working cylinder, separated by an oil-gas diaphragm. A piston assembly is used; when pressure is applied to one end of the piston assembly, the nitrogen gas and oil create a counter-pressure, achieving vibration damping. However, existing spring cylinders have independent oil and gas filling holes at the bottom for replenishing nitrogen and oil. In practical use, spring cylinders in different positions require different damping effects, and adjacent spring cylinders are usually independently configured, resulting in a fixed damping effect after nitrogen replenishment, making adjustment difficult.

[0004] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a spring cylinder bottom to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the above description, this utility model provides a spring cylinder bottom to solve the problem of existing spring cylinders having independent oil filling holes and air filling holes at the bottom for nitrogen and oil replenishment. In practical use, spring cylinders in different positions require different buffering effects, and adjacent spring cylinders are usually set independently, resulting in a fixed buffering effect after nitrogen replenishment, which is difficult to adjust.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A spring cylinder bottom includes at least two cylinder bottom components, each of the cylinder bottom components includes a base and a nitrogen storage chamber disposed on the base, the base is provided with a nitrogen connection hole, the nitrogen connection hole is used to connect with the spring cylinder; one end of the base is connected to two nitrogen regulating chambers, the two nitrogen regulating chambers are respectively connected to the nitrogen storage chamber, and nitrogen through holes are connected to both sides of the base, the two nitrogen through holes are respectively connected to the two nitrogen regulating chambers; two adjacent cylinder bottom components are connected through the nitrogen through holes.

[0007] Furthermore, the base is provided with a connecting slide, and the base is connected with a first through hole and a second through hole. The first through hole is connected to one of the nitrogen regulating chambers, and the second through hole is connected to the other nitrogen regulating chamber.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a venting switch, which includes a switch slider slidably connected within the connecting slide. The switch slider is provided with a third through hole, a fourth through hole, and a fifth through hole. The third through hole communicates with the nitrogen storage chamber. When the fourth through hole is in a first position, it communicates with the first through hole to connect the nitrogen storage chamber with one of the nitrogen regulating chambers. When the fifth through hole is in a second position, it communicates with the second through hole to connect the nitrogen storage chamber with the other nitrogen regulating chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the ventilation switch includes a first drive connected to the base, the telescopic end of the first drive being connected to the switch slider, and the first drive being used to drive the switch slider to move.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is externally connected to the switch slider.

[0011] Furthermore, the switch slider is provided with a spring groove, and a lifting block and a spring with one end connected to the spring groove and the other end connected to the lifting block are slidably connected in the spring groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is provided with a ball bearing groove, and the ball bearing groove is provided with a first groove, a second groove, a third groove and a fourth groove in sequence from front to back. When the lifting block slides to the first groove, it is in the first sealing position; when the lifting block slides to the second groove, it is in the position where the fourth through hole communicates with the first through hole; when the lifting block slides to the third groove, it is in the position where the fifth through hole communicates with the second through hole; when the lifting block slides to the fourth groove, it is in the second sealing position.

[0013] Furthermore, pressure sensors are connected to the first, second, third, and fourth grooves.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a regulating chamber switch, which includes a sealing piston slidably connected to the nitrogen regulating chamber and an regulating drive connected to the base, wherein the telescopic end of the regulating drive is connected to the sealing piston.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is also connected to a pressure detection port, which is used to connect a pressure gauge to detect the pressure in the nitrogen storage chamber.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] Two nitrogen regulating chambers are located at the end of the base furthest from the nitrogen storage chamber. These chambers communicate with the nitrogen regulating chambers of adjacent cylinder bottom components or serve as nitrogen filling or releasing components. Nitrogen through-holes are located on both sides of the base, communicating with the two nitrogen regulating chambers respectively. Nitrogen can flow between the nitrogen regulating chambers through these through-holes or exchange nitrogen with adjacent cylinder bottom components. Adjacent cylinder bottom components are connected via nitrogen through-holes, allowing nitrogen to circulate among multiple cylinder bottom components, forming a unified nitrogen system. This solves the problem of existing spring cylinders requiring separate oil and air filling holes at the cylinder bottom for nitrogen and oil replenishment. In practical use, spring cylinders in different positions require different buffering effects. Adjacent spring cylinders are usually set independently, resulting in a fixed buffering effect after nitrogen replenishment, making adjustment difficult. Attached Figure Description

[0037] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a spring cylinder bottom includes at least two cylinder bottom components 1. Each cylinder bottom component 1 includes a base 2 and a nitrogen storage chamber 21 disposed on the base 2. The base 2 is provided with a nitrogen connection hole 22 for connecting to the spring cylinder. One end of the base 2 is connected to two nitrogen regulating chambers 23, which are respectively connected to the nitrogen storage chamber 21. Nitrogen through holes 24 are connected to both sides of the base 2, and the two nitrogen through holes 24 are respectively connected to the two nitrogen regulating chambers 23. Two adjacent cylinder bottom components 1 are connected through the nitrogen through holes 24.

[0038] In this embodiment, a nitrogen storage chamber 21 is disposed on the base 2 for storing nitrogen. A nitrogen connection hole 22 is connected to the base 2, which is used to connect to the spring cylinder and supply nitrogen to it, enabling nitrogen flow between the nitrogen storage chamber 21 and the spring cylinder. Two nitrogen regulating chambers 23 are provided at the end of the base 2 away from the nitrogen storage chamber 21, for communication with the nitrogen regulating chambers 23 of adjacent cylinder bottom components 1, or for use as nitrogen filling or releasing components. Nitrogen through holes 24 are disposed on both sides of the base 2, communicating with the two nitrogen regulating chambers 23 respectively. Nitrogen can flow between the nitrogen regulating chambers 23 through the nitrogen through holes 24, or exchange nitrogen with adjacent cylinder bottom components 1. Adjacent cylinder bottom components 1 are connected through the nitrogen through holes 24, allowing nitrogen to flow between multiple cylinder bottom components 1, forming a unified nitrogen system. This solves the problem of existing spring cylinders requiring separate oil filling holes and air filling holes at the cylinder bottom for nitrogen and oil replenishment. In practical use, spring cylinders in different positions require different buffering effects. Two adjacent spring cylinders are usually set independently, which results in a fixed buffering effect after nitrogen is added, making it difficult to adjust.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a connecting slide 25, and the base 2 is connected with a first through hole 26 and a second through hole 27.

[0042] In this embodiment, the switch slider 31 is slidably connected within the connecting slide 25. Movement within the connecting slide 25 switches the flow path of nitrogen. A third through-hole 311 is formed on the switch slider 31 and is always connected to the nitrogen storage chamber 21. The third through-hole 311 serves as a fixed interface for the nitrogen storage chamber 21, ensuring that nitrogen can flow to the switch slider 31. A fourth through-hole 312 is formed on the switch slider 31. In the first position, it connects to the first through-hole 26, connecting the nitrogen storage chamber 21 to one of the nitrogen regulating chambers 23, and disconnects from the first through-hole 26, cutting off the nitrogen flow in this path. A fifth through-hole 313 is formed on the switch slider 31. In the second position, it connects to the second through-hole 27, connecting the nitrogen storage chamber 21 to another nitrogen regulating chamber 23, and disconnects from the second through-hole 27, cutting off the nitrogen flow in this path.

[0043] In some embodiments, the ventilation switch 3 includes a first drive 32 connected to the base 2, the telescopic end of the first drive 32 being connected to the switch slider 31, and the first drive 32 being used to drive the switch slider 31 to move.

[0048] In this embodiment, a spring groove 314 is formed on the switch slider 31, serving as a space to accommodate the lifting block 34 and the spring 35, providing a sliding track for the lifting block 34 and a mounting position for the spring 35. The lifting block 34 is slidably connected within the spring groove 314, and under the action of the spring 35, it can move up and down relative to the switch slider 31. One end of the spring 35 is connected to the spring groove 314, and the other end is connected to the lifting block 34 to provide a restoring force.

[0049] In some embodiments, the base 2 is provided with a ball bearing groove 28, and the ball bearing groove 28 is provided with a first groove 281, a second groove 282, a third groove 283 and a fourth groove 284 in sequence from front to back.

[0050] In this embodiment, the ball bearing groove 28 is formed on the base 2, serving as the sliding track for the lifting block 34. Precise positioning of the lifting block 34 is achieved through internal grooves. The first groove 281, the second groove 282, the third groove 283, and the fourth groove 284 are arranged sequentially from front to back within the ball bearing groove 28. Each groove corresponds to a different operating position of the lifting block 34, thereby regulating the nitrogen gas.

[0051] In some embodiments, pressure sensors 29 are connected to the first groove 281, the second groove 282, the third groove 283 and the fourth groove 284.

[0052] In this embodiment, pressure sensors 29 are connected to the first groove 281, the second groove 282, the third groove 283, and the fourth groove 284 to detect the position of the lifting block 34. Additionally, connecting the controller to the pressure sensors 29 is a common technique in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0053] In some embodiments, the device further includes a regulating chamber switch 4, which includes a sealing piston 41 slidably connected to the nitrogen regulating chamber 23 and an regulating drive 42 connected to the base 2.
