Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder with a buffer structure is disclosed, comprising a cylinder body 1, a bottom cover 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cylinder body 1, a guide sleeve 5 threadedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder body 1, a reciprocating piston 6 disposed inside the cylinder body 1, a piston rod 7 vertically fixedly connected to the middle position of the upper end of the reciprocating piston 6, a connecting rod 8 fixedly connected to the middle position of the bottom end of the reciprocating piston 6, a slot 9 opened in the middle position inside the bottom cover 2, a first buffer assembly disposed inside the slot 9, a second buffer assembly disposed at the position outside the piston rod 7 at the upper end of the reciprocating piston 6, and a third buffer assembly disposed between the outer side of the bottom end of the reciprocating piston 6 and the outer ring of the upper end of the bottom cover 2.
[0023] As shown in the figure, the second connector 4 and the first connector 3 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the side of the cylinder 1, respectively.
[0024] As shown in the figure, the first buffer assembly includes a first spring 10 and a top plate 11. The first spring 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slot 9, and the top plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first spring 10. The reciprocating piston 6 rises along the cylinder 1, and the piston rod 7 rises with it. The first washer 16 on the second connecting ring 15 first contacts the bottom end of the guide sleeve 5. As the reciprocating piston 6 moves, the second spring 14 is compressed, thereby preventing the reciprocating piston 6 from hitting the lower end of the guide sleeve 5.
[0025] As shown in the figure, the second buffer assembly includes a first connecting ring 13 fixedly connected to the upper outer ring of the reciprocating piston 6. A second spring 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first connecting ring 13. The second spring 14 is sleeved and connected to the piston rod 7. A second connecting ring 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second spring 14. A first washer 16 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second connecting ring 15. The third buffer assembly includes a first permanent magnet 12 and a second permanent magnet 17. The first permanent magnet 12 is fixedly connected to the upper outer ring of the bottom cover 2. The second permanent magnet 17 is fixedly connected to the lower outer ring of the reciprocating piston 6. A second washer 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second permanent magnet 17. The reciprocating piston 6 descends along the cylinder 1. The connecting rod 8 contacts the upper end of the top cover. As the reciprocating piston 6 descends, the first spring 10 is compressed, which provides initial buffering. The opposite sides of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 17 are of the same pole and repel each other, which can provide further buffering and prevent the reciprocating piston 6 from hitting the bottom cover 2.
[0026] Working principle: During use, the first buffer component cushions the reciprocating piston 6 as it rises. Specifically, hydraulic oil enters the cylinder 1 through the first connector 3 and exits through the second connector 4, thus pushing the reciprocating piston 6 upwards along the cylinder 1. The piston rod 7 rises accordingly, and the first washer 16 on the second connecting ring 15 first contacts the bottom end of the guide sleeve 5. As the reciprocating piston 6 moves, the second spring 14 is compressed, preventing the reciprocating piston 6 from impacting the lower end of the guide sleeve 5. The first component and the third buffer component can buffer the reciprocating piston 6 as it descends. Specifically, hydraulic oil enters the cylinder 1 through the second connector 4, and the hydraulic oil in the cylinder 1 is discharged through the first connector 3, which can push the reciprocating piston 6 down along the cylinder 1. The connecting rod 8 is in contact with the upper end of the top cover. As the reciprocating piston 6 descends, the first spring 10 is compressed, which plays a preliminary role in buffering. The first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 17 are on the same pole and repel each other, which can play a secondary role in buffering and prevent the reciprocating piston 6 from hitting the bottom cover 2.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
