Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic cylinders, and in particular to a swing hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] A oscillating cylinder, as a special hydraulic actuator, primarily functions to achieve reciprocating oscillating motion. Specifically, while a piston-type actuator converts the linear motion of a piston into oscillation of a rotating shaft via a mechanical structure such as a rack and pinion, a oscillating cylinder provides efficient oscillating power within a limited space through the input and output of hydraulic oil.

[0003] The function of a swing cylinder is to achieve swing motion in a confined space, transmit power and torque, and achieve precise angle adjustment through hydraulic system control. It offers smooth transmission, high load-bearing capacity, and simplifies the structure and reduces the size and weight of equipment compared to electric motors and mechanical transmissions. It is used in fields such as engineering machinery, industrial automation, shipbuilding, and aerospace.

[0004] Although existing swing cylinders are widely used, in actual operation, especially when subjected to large loads or high-speed swing, they are prone to swing instability and decreased accuracy, which affects work efficiency. In severe cases, the valve core cannot be corrected, leading to the scrapping of the cylinder.

[0005] To address this issue, a swing cylinder is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where high-speed oscillation is prone to instability, this utility model provides an oscillating hydraulic cylinder.

[0007] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

The outer peripheral wall of the inner shaft is provided with a first toothed ring, the inner peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve is provided with a first toothed ring that meshes with the first toothed ring, the outer peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve is provided with a second toothed ring, and the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder body is provided with a second toothed ring that meshes with the second toothed ring. The intermediate sleeve is movable within the cylinder body and divides the cylinder body into a first oil chamber and a second oil chamber.

[0009] One end of the intermediate sleeve is provided with a contact, and a guide ring is provided inward from the contact. One end of the cylinder body is provided with at least one limiting member, and a piston rod is provided on the limiting member. A guide head matching the guide ring is provided on the piston rod, and the guide head moves within the guide ring.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, multiple damping springs are evenly distributed on the limiting member, and the multiple damping springs are connected to a contact plate, with the contact plate and the contact being a matching structure.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cylinder body is provided with an installation port inside, one end of the inner shaft is provided with a connector that matches the installation port, and the end of the inner shaft away from the connector is provided with a cover, which is fixed to the cylinder body by bolts.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the mounting port is equipped with a first bearing, which is located in the first oil chamber, and the inner wall of the cylinder body is provided with a second bearing, which is located in the second oil chamber.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cylinder body is provided with a first oil port, which communicates with the first oil chamber, and the cylinder body is provided with a second oil port, which communicates with the second oil chamber.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first annular opening is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve, and a second annular opening is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve. A first sealing ring is built into the first annular opening, and a second sealing ring is built into the second annular opening.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cylinder body is provided with a third ring opening near the inner end of the cover, and a third sealing rubber ring is built into the third ring opening.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. By providing a guide ring on the intermediate sleeve, when the oil pressure in the first oil chamber increases and the pressure in the second oil chamber decreases, the first gear ring and the second gear ring mesh with the first gear ring and the second gear ring respectively to realize the swing of the intermediate sleeve. At the same time as the intermediate sleeve swings, the guide ring will slide on the guide head on the piston rod to ensure stability and prevent the intermediate sleeve from deviating during the swing.

[0018] 2. When the pressure in the first oil chamber decreases and the pressure in the second oil chamber increases, the gear ring and gear ring mesh in opposite directions, the intermediate sleeve swings in the opposite direction, and the guide ring continues to slide along the guide head to ensure accurate swing. When the peak value is reached, the contact at the end of the intermediate sleeve contacts the contact plate, the damping spring is compressed, and the impact force is reduced.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cylinder body 1 is provided with a first oil port 13 and a second oil port 14. The first oil port 13 and the second oil port 14 are independent of each other. The first oil port 13 passes through the cylinder body 1 and is connected to the first oil chamber 11, and the second oil port 14 passes through the cylinder body 1 and is connected to the second oil chamber 12.

[0040] Specifically, a first annular opening 6 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve 4, and a second annular opening 62 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the intermediate sleeve 4.

[0044] The principle of this utility model is as follows: the inner shaft 3 is connected to the intermediate sleeve 4 through the first gear ring 31, and the intermediate sleeve 4 is fixed to the cylinder body 1 through the second gear ring 44. When the oil in the second oil chamber 12 enters, the intermediate sleeve 4 swings and drives the inner shaft 3 to rotate. The oil pressure in the first oil chamber 11 pushes the intermediate sleeve 4 to swing. When the intermediate sleeve 4 swings, the first gear ring 41 meshes with the first gear ring 31, and the second gear ring 17 meshes with the second gear ring 44. The swing angle of the intermediate sleeve 4 precisely controls the rotation of the inner shaft 3. When the intermediate sleeve 4 rotates, the guide head 54 is always located inside the guide ring 43, ensuring the stable movement of the piston rod 53 and avoiding deviation, thus achieving efficient and stable operation.
