AI Technical Summary
During the use of existing hydraulic cylinders, the high-frequency reciprocating motion of the piston increases the friction between the inner wall of the cylinder and the piston rod. The lubricating oil is consumed rapidly due to compression and high temperature. It is easy to neglect to add lubricating oil manually and regularly, resulting in insufficient oil at the joints, which increases the running resistance, causes the movement to be stuck, and shortens the life of the seals.
A hydraulic cylinder structure was designed, including a lubricating oil groove, a filter screen, and an air valve on the inner wall of the cylinder head. By pre-adding lubricating oil to the lubricating oil groove, the lubricating oil is automatically replenished by air pressure. Combined with a buffer pad and a docking column structure, automatic lubrication and buffering between the piston rod and the cylinder are achieved.
It achieves automatic lubrication between the piston rod and the cylinder, reduces friction, extends service life, avoids jamming and seal aging caused by insufficient lubrication, and improves the output accuracy and overall life of the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable technology, specifically relating to a hydraulic cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joints. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic cylinder, also known as a hydraulic cylinder, is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion) mechanical energy. It features simple structure, large output force, smooth operation, and fast response speed, and is widely used in engineering machinery, metallurgy, machine tools, shipbuilding, aerospace and other fields.
[0003] The high-pressure hydraulic oil supplied by the hydraulic pump enters the rodless chamber of the cylinder through the inlet. The pressure of the hydraulic oil acts on the effective area of the piston, generating thrust. The hydraulic oil in the other chamber is discharged through the return port, completing one reciprocating cycle.
[0004] Specifically, during the use of hydraulic cylinders, the high-frequency reciprocating motion of the piston will intensify the friction between the inner wall of the cylinder and between the piston and the piston rod, causing the internal lubricating oil to be consumed rapidly due to compression and high temperature. Currently, most hydraulic cylinders rely on manual periodic lubrication, but manual operation has significant drawbacks: the lubrication cycle is easily overlooked, resulting in short-term oil shortage at the joints. This not only increases the operating resistance of the hydraulic cylinder and causes the action to stall, but also accelerates the aging of the seals, ultimately affecting the output accuracy and overall service life of the hydraulic cylinder. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydraulic cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joints. It aims to solve the problem that during the use of hydraulic cylinders, the high-frequency reciprocating motion of the piston will aggravate the friction between the inner wall of the cylinder and between the piston and the piston rod, causing the internal lubricating oil to be consumed rapidly due to compression and high temperature. At present, most hydraulic cylinders rely on manual periodic lubrication, but manual operation has significant drawbacks: the lubrication cycle is easily overlooked, resulting in short-term oil shortage at joints. This not only leads to increased cylinder running resistance and jamming, but also accelerates the aging of seals, ultimately affecting the output accuracy and overall service life of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydraulic cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joint points, including a cylinder barrel and a tail collar installed at the tail end of the cylinder barrel, a piston rod connected inside the opening of the cylinder barrel, an end collar connected to one end of the piston rod, a piston connected to the other end of the piston rod, and a cylinder cover connected to the opening at one end of the cylinder barrel.
[0007] The cylinder head has a lubricating oil groove on its inner wall, a filter screen is installed at the opening of the cylinder head's inner wall, a stud is connected to the surface of the cylinder head near the lubricating oil groove, a valve is connected to the surface of the stud, and a sealing ring is connected to the inner wall of the valve.
[0008] To facilitate improved lubrication at joint points, the lubricating oil groove of this invention, which improves lubrication at joint points, is preferably annular in structure and has a rectangular cross-section.
[0009] To facilitate the automatic addition of lubricating oil, and as an oil cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joints in this utility model, preferably, the inner wall of the lubricating oil tank is provided with an oil filling groove, which has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0010] To facilitate the addition of lubricating oil, and as an oil cylinder of this utility model that can improve the lubrication effect of joint points, preferably, the filter screen is made of stainless steel, and the air valve is threadedly connected to the stud.
[0011] To improve the buffering effect, as a hydraulic cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joints in this utility model, preferably, the piston rod is connected to a docking post at one end near the piston, and a buffer pad is connected to one end of the docking post. The buffer pad is made of silicone.
[0012] To facilitate quick assembly of the buffer pad, and as an oil cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joint points according to this utility model, preferably, one side of the buffer pad is connected to an installation strip, and the surface of the docking post near the installation strip is provided with an installation groove, and the installation strip and the installation groove on the surface of the docking post form an interference fit structure.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This invention pre-fills the lubricating oil groove inside the cylinder head with lubricating oil. When the piston rod drives the piston to reciprocate inside the cylinder, the lubricating oil groove is simultaneously pre-pressurized. As the piston reciprocates, the amount of lubricating oil inside the cylinder decreases, causing the pressure to drop. At this point, the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil groove is pressurized and enters the space between the cylinder and the piston rod, achieving the effect of adding lubricating oil with each movement, thus achieving automatic addition. This improves the lubrication effect at the joint between the cylinder and the piston rod, thereby extending the service life. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a hydraulic cylinder that can improve the lubrication effect of joint points, including a cylinder barrel 1 and a tail collar 2 installed at the tail end of the cylinder barrel 1. A piston rod 3 is connected inside the opening of the cylinder barrel 1. One end of the piston rod 3 is connected to an end collar 4. The other end of the piston rod 3 is connected to a piston 5. A cylinder cover 6 is connected to the opening at one end of the cylinder barrel 1.
[0023] The inner wall of the cylinder head 6 is provided with a lubricating oil groove 7, a filter screen 8 is installed at the opening of the inner wall of the cylinder head 6, a stud 9 is connected to the surface of the cylinder head 6 near the lubricating oil groove 7, a valve 10 is connected to the surface of the stud 9, and a sealing ring 11 is connected to the inner wall of the valve 10.
[0024] Preferably, the lubricating oil groove 7 has a ring structure and a rectangular cross-section.
[0025] Preferably, the inner wall of the lubricating oil tank 7 is provided with an oil filling groove, which has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. In actual use, the use of an oil filling groove with a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom facilitates the oil filling effect.
[0026] Preferably, the filter screen 8 is made of stainless steel, and the air valve 10 is threadedly connected to the stud 9. In actual use, by threading the air valve 10 to the stud 9, it is convenient to fill the lubricating oil, and the filter screen 8 can filter the added lubricating oil, improving the performance.
[0027] Preferably, the piston rod 3 is connected to a mating post 12 at one end near the piston 5, and a buffer pad 13, made of silicone, is connected to one end of the mating post 12. In practical use, the buffer pad 13 prevents impact when the piston rod 3 moves to the end, thus extending its service life.
[0028] Preferably, a mounting strip 14 is connected to one side of the buffer pad 13, and a mounting groove 15 is formed on the surface of the mating post 12 near the mounting strip 14. The mounting strip 14 and the mounting groove 15 on the surface of the mating post 12 form an interference fit structure. In actual use, the buffer pad 13 can be easily and stably installed by using the mounting strip 14 and the mounting groove 15 on the surface of the mating post 12.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, lubricating oil is pre-added to the lubricating oil groove 7 inside the cylinder head 6. When the piston rod 3 drives the piston 5 to reciprocate inside the cylinder 1, the lubricating oil groove 7 is pre-pressurized. When the piston 5 reciprocates, the lubricating oil inside the cylinder 1 decreases, causing the pressure to drop. At this time, the lubricating oil inside the lubricating oil groove 7 is pressurized and enters between the cylinder 1 and the piston rod 3, achieving the effect of adding lubricating oil with each movement, thus achieving automatic addition and improving the lubrication effect of the joint between the cylinder 1 and the piston rod 3, thereby increasing the service life. In addition, by connecting the buffer pad 13 to the docking post 12, the mounting strip 14 on one side of the buffer pad 13 is connected to the mounting groove 15 on the surface of the docking post 12. This facilitates the stable installation of the buffer pad 13 and prevents violent impact when the piston rod 3 moves to the end, improving the movement effect of the piston rod 3.
