Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic cylinder lug structure, belonging to the field of hydraulic cylinder technology. Background Technology
[0002] Telescopic hydraulic cylinders are a type of hydraulic cylinder frequently used in aerial work platforms. They are connected and fixed to the main unit via lugs. Their function is to both support the work platform and ensure its overall stability, making them a crucial component of the main unit. Therefore, the main unit places high demands on the strength of the hydraulic cylinder lug connection points. To meet the high strength requirements of main unit customers, improving the strength of the hydraulic cylinder lugs is essential.
[0003] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, current aerial work platforms achieve high-intensity operations by thickening the overall lugs, which requires changes to the overall structure of the main unit, resulting in increased workload, higher production costs, and longer delivery cycles. Summary of the Invention

[0025] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] The previous hydraulic cylinder lug structure, due to the relatively thin lug connection part, was only suitable for main units with low strength and small tonnage, and could no longer meet the needs of main unit customers. In order to meet the working environment requirements of customers with high intensity operation, and also for the research and development of large tonnage main units, the lug structure had to be improved.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the existing hydraulic cylinder lug structure consists of a cuboid structure 1 and a cylindrical structure 2. The strength is increased by thickening the lug as a whole. This requires the overall structure of the main unit to change accordingly, resulting in increased workload, higher production costs, and longer delivery cycles.
[0031] like Figure 2As shown, a hydraulic cylinder clevis structure includes a cuboid structure and a cylindrical structure. The cylindrical structure is fixed to the middle area of one side of the cuboid structure. Both ends of the cuboid structure along the length of the side where the cylindrical structure is installed are stepped structures, and the corners of the stepped structures are rounded. This effectively increases the clevis thickness without affecting the installation of the main unit. The rounded corners can effectively reduce stress concentration and greatly improve the working strength of the clevis. This solves the problem of increased workload and production costs caused by changing the installation structure of the main unit, meets the needs of the main unit customer, and also realizes the development of large-tonnage main units.
[0032] A further proposed solution involves using rounded corners to create a smooth transition between the cuboid and cylindrical structures.
[0033] A further proposed design involves the hydraulic cylinder lug structure being integrally cast from a cuboid and a cylindrical structure.
[0034] A further design involves a hydraulic cylinder lug structure that is symmetrical about the central axis of a cylindrical structure.
[0035] A further design involves dividing the cube structure along its length into a left region, a middle region, and a right region; wherein the width of the middle region gradually decreases towards the left and right regions.
[0036] In summary, this utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder lug structure that achieves the following functions and effects:
[0037] (1) Stepped structures are provided at both ends of the hydraulic cylinder lug structure to improve the working strength and stability of the hydraulic cylinder;
[0038] (2) The corners of the stepped structure are rounded to reduce stress concentration.
