Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] like Figs. 1-3This is a schematic diagram of a thin-film cylinder according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a thin-film cylinder with a compact structure and stable installation is provided. The cylinder mainly includes a cylinder body 8 and a mounting plate 4. The cylinder body 8 consists of a cylinder body 1, a front cover 2, and a rear cover 3. The front end of the cylinder body 1 is fixedly connected to the front cover 2 by multiple bolts 7. The rear end of the cylinder body 1 is fixedly connected to the rear cover 3 by multiple bolts 7. To ensure sealing, sealing rings 9 are provided at the mating surfaces of the cylinder body 1 with the front cover 2 and the rear cover 3. A cylindrical movable cavity 12 is machined inside the cylinder body 1. The front cover 2 has a movable opening 31 at its center for the piston rod to pass through. The mounting plate 4 is placed outside the rear cover 3, allowing the connecting cylinder 42 to be precisely inserted into the corresponding countersunk hole 21. The outer wall of the connecting cylinder 42 contacts the inner wall of the countersunk hole 21, serving to position and increase the connection strength. Multiple countersunk holes 21 are machined on the end of the rear cover 3 facing the mounting plate 4. The mounting plate 4 is made of metal sheet and is used to install the entire cylinder onto the equipment base. A through-hole-shaped connecting hole 41 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 4 at a position corresponding to the countersunk holes 21 of the rear cover 3. A connecting sleeve 42 is welded or integrally formed at each connecting hole 41 on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 4 facing the cylinder body 8. The connecting sleeve 42 is a short cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is designed to match the inner diameter of the countersunk hole 21 on the rear cover 3, forming a small interference fit. In actual use, bolts 7 are passed sequentially through the connecting holes 41 and the inner hole of the connecting sleeve 42 of the mounting plate 4, and finally screwed into the pre-set internal thread at the bottom of the countersunk hole 21 of the rear cover 3 and tightened. The tightening force of the bolts 7 achieves a rigid fixed connection between the mounting plate 4 and the rear cover 3 of the cylinder body 8. This connection method significantly improves the bending rigidity and connection reliability of the mounting plate 4, and is especially suitable for thin cylinders with high requirements for installation stability. This utility model adopts a split installation as the core, realizing the immediate use and quick replacement of thin cylinders, while ensuring structural rigidity and load capacity. It is particularly suitable for fields with stringent requirements for equipment maintenance efficiency, such as automated production lines and robots.

[0026] In this embodiment, air inlets 6 are provided on the top of the front cover 2 and the top of the rear cover 3. Both air inlets 6 are connected to the movable chamber 12 inside the cylinder 1 and are used to drive the piston to reciprocate.

[0027] In this embodiment, guide grooves 11 are machined along the axial direction on both sides of the outer wall of the cylinder body 1, which can be used for guidance during the overall installation of the cylinder or for the installation of additional sensors.

[0028] In this embodiment, the piston assembly 5 includes a piston rod 51 and a piston ring 52. The piston ring 52 is sleeved and fixed to the middle of the piston rod 51. The piston assembly 5 is installed into the movable cavity 12 of the cylinder 1, so that the outer circumferential surface of the piston ring 52 maintains a sliding sealing contact with the inner wall of the movable cavity 12. The front end of the piston rod 51 extends out of the cylinder body through the movable opening 31 of the front cover 2. This extended end of the piston rod 51 is machined with external threads for threaded connection of the connecting piece 53. The rear end of the piston rod 51 is located inside the movable cavity 12 near the rear cover 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, to provide additional mounting points, fixing blocks 43 are symmetrically welded onto the surface of the mounting plate 4. Each fixing block 43 has a fixing hole 44. The fixing holes 44 can be used to pass bolts through to further fix the mounting plate 4 to the base or to connect other accessories, enhancing the flexibility and stability of the installation.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] When compressed air enters the rear end of the piston in the movable chamber 12 through the air inlet 6 at the top of the rear cover 3, it pushes the piston assembly 5 forward, and the piston rod 51 extends. When compressed air enters the front end of the piston in the movable chamber 12 through the air inlet 6 at the top of the front cover 2, it pushes the piston assembly 5 backward, and the piston rod 51 retracts. The piston ring 52 ensures the airtightness of the front and rear chambers of the movable chamber 12. The guide groove 11 can assist in the installation and positioning of the cylinder or the installation of sensors such as magnetic switches. The connector 53 is used to connect an external load.

[0032] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
