AI Technical Summary
Existing piston accumulators lack a buffer structure in hydraulic systems with high frequency, high pressure, or impact loads, causing the piston to impact the cylinder block or cylinder head, resulting in noise, vibration, and damage. At the same time, they cannot effectively absorb high frequency fluctuations, affecting system stability.
A piston-type accumulator with a buffer function was designed. By sleeved with a rubber ring and a buffer block on the outside of the piston, and set an air cavity and an air cushion hole inside the piston, combined with a high-strength steel shell, a buffer protection structure is formed to absorb impact kinetic energy.
It effectively reduces impact force, improves system operation stability and equipment lifespan, avoids hard impacts, and enhances the buffering performance of piston accumulators.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of piston accumulators, and more specifically, it relates to a piston accumulator with a buffer function. Background Technology
[0002] A piston accumulator is an energy storage device that uses a piston to separate liquid from compressed gas, and it is widely used in hydraulic systems. It stores hydraulic energy through compressed gas and releases it when needed by the system to balance pressure, absorb shocks, and stabilize flow. It has a simple structure, rapid response, and is suitable for high-pressure, high-flow applications, commonly used in engineering machinery, wind power equipment, and hydraulic control systems.
[0003] Current piston accumulators have poor buffering performance when in use. In high-frequency, high-pressure or impact-load hydraulic systems, when the piston moves at high speed and approaches the two ends of the cylinder, it lacks a deceleration mechanism and is prone to hitting the cylinder bottom or cylinder head, generating noise, vibration and even damage. At the same time, when there is pressure pulsation or hydraulic shock in the system, the piston accumulator cannot effectively absorb high-frequency fluctuations because it has no buffer throttling structure, which affects the stability of the system.
[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we will study and improve the existing structure and its shortcomings to provide a piston-type accumulator with buffering function, in order to achieve a more practical value. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a piston-type accumulator with a buffer function, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:
[0006] A piston-type accumulator with a buffer function includes a housing, a gas chamber on one side of the housing, the gas chamber extending through both sides of the housing, a piston disposed inside the gas chamber, a pair of rubber rings fitted around the outside of the piston, a buffer block disposed on one side of the piston, and a rubber block disposed on the other side of the piston. A first sealing cover and a second sealing cover are respectively connected to the two ends of the housing located at the gas chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, an inflation valve is connected to one side of the first sealing cover, and a hydraulic interface is connected to one side of the second sealing cover. Both the inflation valve and the hydraulic interface are connected to the gas chamber.
[0008] Furthermore, an air cavity is provided inside the piston.
[0009] Furthermore, the rubber block has air cushion holes corresponding to the air cavity.
[0010] Furthermore, the shell is made of high-strength steel.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] In this invention, the rubber ring, buffer block, and rubber block effectively cushion and protect the piston. The air cavity and air cushion hole effectively absorb impact kinetic energy and further reduce impact force. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0020] Example:
[0021] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:
[0022] This utility model provides a piston-type accumulator with a buffer function, including a housing 1, a gas chamber 2 opened on one side of the housing 1, the gas chamber 2 passing through both sides of the housing 1, a piston 3 is arranged in the gas chamber 2, a pair of rubber rings 4 are sleeved on the outside of the piston 3, a buffer block 5 is arranged on one side of the piston 3, and a rubber block 6 is arranged on the other side of the piston 3. A first sealing cover 7 and a second sealing cover 8 are respectively connected to the two ends of the housing 1 located in the gas chamber 2.
[0023] The first sealing cover 7 has an inflation valve 9 connected to one side, and the second sealing cover 8 has a hydraulic interface 10 connected to one side. Both the inflation valve 9 and the hydraulic interface 10 are connected to the gas chamber 2.
[0024] The piston 3 has an air cavity 11 inside, which can effectively absorb impact kinetic energy.
[0025] Among them, the rubber block 6 has an air cushion hole 12 corresponding to the air cavity 11, and the air cushion hole 12 can effectively relieve the impact force of the piston 3.
[0026] Among them, the shell 1 is made of high-strength steel. High-strength steel can withstand high pressure, has a hard texture, and has a long service life.
[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: This utility model is a piston-type accumulator. In use, nitrogen is first introduced into the gas chamber 2 through the inflation valve 9 on the first sealing cover 7 to pre-charge it. Then, the second sealing cover 8 is connected to the hydraulic system through the hydraulic interface 10. When the system pressure increases, the hydraulic oil pushes the piston 3 to compress the gas and store energy. When the pressure decreases, the gas expands and pushes the piston 3 to release energy. Unlike the traditional piston 3 structure, the piston 3 of this accumulator is equipped with a buffer block 5 and a rubber block 6, which can effectively absorb the impact force at the end of the movement. It is equipped with an air chamber 11 and an air cushion hole 12 inside, which form an air cushion buffer when the piston 3 moves at high speed, significantly reducing the impact and avoiding hard impacts, thereby improving the stability of system operation and the service life of equipment.
