[0002] In the field of hydraulic transmission technology, hydraulic cylinders, as core actuators, are widely used in various types of mechanical equipment.

[0003] Traditional hydraulic cylinders have significant drawbacks in actual operation. When the transmission rod extends and retracts, the lack of effective hydraulic oil flow control often results in excessive impact force. This not only damages the internal structure of the cylinder, shortening its service life, but also affects the operational stability and precision of the entire mechanical system, increasing equipment maintenance costs and the risk of failure. Simultaneously, during operation, the circulation of hydraulic oil and mechanical friction generate a large amount of heat, causing the cylinder surface temperature to rise. Excessive temperature alters the viscosity of the hydraulic oil, reducing its lubricating performance, accelerating the aging of cylinder seals, and potentially even causing thermal deformation of internal cylinder components, severely impacting the normal operating performance and longevity of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0004] Therefore, a hydraulic cylinder with buffering and flow limiting capabilities is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

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.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This embodiment describes a hydraulic cylinder with buffering and flow-limiting capabilities, comprising a cylinder body 1. A flow-limiting mechanism is installed on the cylinder body 1 to effectively control the flow of hydraulic oil, achieving a better buffering effect and solving the problem of excessive impact force during the extension and retraction of the transmission rod in traditional hydraulic cylinders. An oil pipe 4 is installed on the flow-limiting mechanism for transporting hydraulic oil. A heat dissipation mechanism and a controller 5 are installed on the cylinder body 1. The heat dissipation mechanism monitors the surface temperature of the hydraulic cylinder. When the temperature is too high, the controller 5 can activate a fan 26 to effectively cool the cylinder, facilitating its long-term operation. The flow-limiting mechanism includes a conduit 32, which is fixedly installed on the cylinder barrel of the cylinder body 1. The conduit 32 serves to support the housing. The installation of 31: One end of the conduit 32 is fixedly installed with a housing 31. The housing 31 is designed to support the rotation of the rotating block 36. The oil pipe 4 is fixedly installed on the side of the housing 31. The top of the housing 31 is fixedly installed with a bracket 35. The bracket 35 is arched and is designed to support the installation of the motor 37. The inner wall of the bracket 35 is fixedly installed with the motor 37. The motor 37 is designed to drive the rotating block 36 to rotate, thereby controlling the size of the opening of the through hole 34 and facilitating the control of the flow of hydraulic oil. The shaft end of the motor 37 passes through the inner wall of the housing 31 and is fixedly installed with the rotating block 36. The rotating block 36 rotates on the inner wall of the housing 31. The rotating block 36 has a through hole 34. The through hole 34 facilitates the hydraulic oil to enter the conduit 32 through the through hole 34.

[0026] The heat dissipation mechanism includes a housing 21, which is fixedly installed on the cylinder of the cylinder body 1. The housing 21 is used to support the installation of the air guide pipe 24. The air guide pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the side of the housing 21. The cross-sectional shape of the air guide pipe 24 is an isosceles trapezoid. The air guide pipe 24 is connected to the housing 21. A housing 25 is fixedly installed at one end of the air guide pipe 24. The housing 25 is a square frame. The housing 25 is used to support the installation of the fan 26. The fan 26 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 25. The fan 26 has a blowing function.

[0027] A pressure sensor 33 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cylinder body 1. The probe end of the pressure sensor 33 is located in the inner wall of the cylinder barrel of the cylinder body 1. The pressure sensor 33 is set to monitor the pressure inside the cylinder body 1 so as to control the opening and closing of the through hole 34.

[0028] The housing 31 is spherical in shape, and the inner cavity of the housing 31 is spherical. The housing 31 is designed to support the rotation of the rotating block 36. The rotating block 36 is spherical in shape, and its size is adapted to the inner cavity size of the housing 31. The rotating block 36 is designed to support the opening of the through hole 34.

[0029] A heat-conducting plate 28 is fixedly installed on the cylinder body 1. The heat-conducting plate 28 is designed to absorb the heat of the cylinder body 1 and increase the contact area with the airflow. It also facilitates the formation of a channel to allow the airflow to circulate and dissipate heat from the cylinder body 1. The heat-conducting plate 28 is annular in shape and there are several heat-conducting plates 28 arranged linearly.

[0030] The side of the box 21 is provided with an air outlet 22. The air outlet 22 is square in shape. The air outlet 22 is designed to facilitate the discharge of gas inside the box 21. Both the air outlet 22 and the inner wall of the shell 25 are provided with dustproof nets to prevent debris from entering the box 21.

[0031] A temperature sensor 23 is installed on the cylinder body 1. The temperature sensor 23 facilitates the monitoring of the surface temperature of the cylinder body 1. A guide vane 27 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air duct 24. The guide vane 27 is rectangular in shape. The guide vane 27, under the action of the fan 26, facilitates the expansion of the air blowing range.

[0032] When the hydraulic cylinder is in use, when the transmission rod of the cylinder body 1 needs to move upward, hydraulic oil will enter the cylinder body 1 through the oil pipe 4, through hole 34 and conduit 32, and move upward by lifting the transmission rod through the piston. During this process, the pressure sensor 33 will monitor the pressure change of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder body 1. When the pressure is too high, the pressure sensor 33 will transmit a signal to the controller 5. After receiving the signal, the controller 5 will start the motor 37. The motor 37 drives the rotating block 36 to rotate. When the rotating block 36 rotates, it will drive the through hole 34 to rotate, so as to control the opening size of the through hole 34, thereby controlling the flow of hydraulic oil and avoiding the problem of excessive hydraulic oil pressure in the hydraulic cylinder, which would lead to excessive impact force during the extension process. Similarly, when the transmission rod is retracted, the motor 37 can be controlled by the pressure sensor 33 and the controller 5 to avoid the problem of excessive impact force during the retraction process.

[0033] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 23 is provided to facilitate monitoring of the surface temperature of the hydraulic cylinder. When the temperature is too high, the temperature sensor 23 transmits a signal to the controller 5. After receiving the signal, the controller 5 will start the fan 26. The fan 26 guides the airflow into the air duct 24 and diffuses it through the air guide vanes 27 in the air duct 24. The diffused airflow will enter the channel formed by the heat-conducting plates 28 and finally be discharged from the air outlet 22. The heat-conducting plates 28 are designed to absorb the heat of the cylinder body 1 and increase the contact area with the airflow. They also facilitate the formation of a channel to allow the airflow to circulate and flow, so as to fully blow and dissipate heat from the cylinder body 1.
