Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ship lift safety technology, and in particular to a water-utilizing environmentally friendly hydraulic thread self-locking device. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the safe operation of ship lifts, a nut and safety screw are typically used as a locking mechanism to prevent safety risks caused by the descent of the ship compartment due to sudden shutdown. For example, CN119618093A discloses a device and method for detecting the thread clearance of a ship lift's accident safety mechanism. In this installation mechanism, an integral safety screw rotates synchronously within the nut, achieving synchronous lifting. The pitch of the installation screw in this self-locking structure is fixed. During locking, it relies primarily on the external thread of the safety screw and the internal thread of the nut for support and locking. Since the pitch of the safety screw cannot be adjusted, a certain gap will exist between the external thread of the safety screw and the internal thread of the nut when locking is required, leading to unreliable locking.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See Figure 1-7A water-saving and environmentally friendly hydraulic threaded self-locking device includes a plunger 1. A left cylinder 7 is slidably mounted at one end of the plunger 1, forming a first oil chamber 12. A right cylinder 9 is slidably mounted at the other end of the plunger 1, forming a second oil chamber 15. The left cylinder 7 and right cylinder 9 are connected by a double-ended screw 3, with spring clamping mechanisms installed at both ends of the double-ended screw 3 for pressing the left cylinder 7 and right cylinder 9 together. The plunger 1 has an oil passage structure that communicates with the first oil chamber 12 and the second oil chamber 15 respectively. External threads 22 are machined on the outer surfaces of the left cylinder 7 and right cylinder 9. This self-locking device adopts a half-and-half configuration of the left cylinder 7 and right cylinder 9 with a reliable thread pitch. This ensures that when locking is required, high-pressure oil is introduced to open the left cylinder 7 and right cylinder 9, allowing the external threads 22 on the cylinders to fully contact the internal threads, preventing gaps and ultimately ensuring the reliability of the locking mechanism, thus guaranteeing the safety of the self-locking mechanism.

[0035] Furthermore, multiple first sealing rings 11 and second sealing rings 13 are respectively provided between the two ends of the left cylinder body 7 and the plunger 1. The aforementioned first sealing rings 11 and second sealing rings 13 can be used to achieve a seal between the left cylinder body 7 and the plunger 1.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple third sealing rings 20 and fourth sealing rings 14 are respectively provided between the two ends of the right cylinder body 9 and the plunger 1. The aforementioned third sealing rings 20 and fourth sealing rings 14 can be used to achieve a seal between the right cylinder body 9 and the plunger 1.

[0037] Furthermore, an end face flange 10 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the right cylinder body 9. The end face flange 10 is used to connect with the drive device, thereby driving the right cylinder body 9 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the external threads 22 of the entire left cylinder body 7 and the right cylinder body 9 to engage with the internal threads.

[0038] Furthermore, the spring clamping mechanism includes springs 6 symmetrically mounted on the double-ended screw 3. The inner ends of the springs 6 contact and limit the mounting cavities 16 of the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9, respectively, while the outer ends of the springs 6 contact the annular pressure plate 5. The annular pressure plate 5 is fixed and limited by a nut 4 mounted on the double-ended screw 3. This spring clamping mechanism enables the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9 to be locked together in their natural state, ensuring that they form a complete external thread 22. The compression of the springs 6 provides clamping force to the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9, and the nut 4 can be used to adjust the magnitude of the clamping force. Simultaneously, the studs prevent relative rotation between the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9.

[0039] Furthermore, the oil passage structure includes a first oil passage 24 and a second oil passage 23 machined on the plunger 1. The first oil passage 24 is connected to the first oil chamber 12, and the second oil passage 23 is connected to the second oil chamber 15. Oil can be supplied to the first oil chamber 12 and the second oil chamber 15 respectively through the first oil passage 24 and the second oil passage 23, thereby providing opening power.

[0040] Furthermore, the first oil passage 24 and the second oil passage 23 are connected to a hydraulic pump station, and supply oil to the first oil chamber 12 and the second oil chamber 15 respectively to drive the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9 to open. The aforementioned hydraulic pump station can be used to provide hydraulic power.

[0041] Furthermore, the contact surfaces of the left cylinder block 7 and the right cylinder block 9 are provided with a first telescopic sealing structure. This first telescopic sealing structure includes a central bellows 8. One end of the central bellows 8 is pressed and fixed to the end of the left cylinder block 7 by a first clamp 17, and the other end of the central bellows 8 is pressed and fixed to the end of the right cylinder block 9 by a second clamp 18. This first telescopic sealing structure can be used to seal the contact surfaces of the left cylinder block 7 and the right cylinder block 9, thereby effectively preventing oil leakage and subsequent water and soil pollution.

[0042] Furthermore, a second telescopic sealing structure is provided between the outer end face of the left cylinder 7 and the plunger 1. This second telescopic sealing structure includes an end-face bellows 2. One end of the end-face bellows 2 is fixed to the outer end face of the left cylinder 7 by an annular pressure plate 21, and the other end is fixed to the outer surface of the plunger 1 by a third clamp 19. This second telescopic sealing structure can be used to seal the contact surfaces of the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9, effectively preventing oil leakage and subsequent water and soil pollution.

[0043] Furthermore, the first oil passage 24 adopts a U-shaped structure. The U-shaped structure allows high-pressure oil to be introduced into the first oil chamber 12.

[0044] Furthermore, the second oil passage 23 adopts a through-type structure. By adopting a through-type structure, it can be used to introduce high-pressure oil into the second oil chamber 15.

[0045] Furthermore, when the left cylinder block 7 and the right cylinder block 9 are joined together, the externally machined external thread 22 is a continuous structure, see... Figure 5 As shown, it rotates perfectly in conjunction with the nut column.

[0046] The specific working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0047] When oil enters through the oil port, plunger 1 remains stationary. High-pressure oil enters through the first oil chamber 12 and the second oil chamber 15. The hydraulic pressure overcomes the preload of spring 6, driving the left cylinder 7 to move to the left and the right cylinder 9 to move to the right. At this time, the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9 disengage, and the threads on the cylinders are no longer a continuous structure until the gap between the external threads of the cylinders and the internal threads of the nut is completely eliminated, thereby achieving reliable locking and fixation of the two. See Figure 7 As shown, the oil circuit is closed at this time, and the entire cylinder stops operating due to the threaded locking. The volume of the first oil chamber 12 and the second oil chamber 15 increases, and the spring 6 is further compressed. The end bellows 2 is compressed due to the relative displacement between the plunger 1 and the left cylinder 7, and the middle bellows 8 is expanded due to the displacement between the left cylinder 7 and the right cylinder 9. At this time, even if there is hydraulic oil leakage, it will be collected by the bellows and will not affect the environment.
