[0023] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The preferred embodiments described are only examples. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the specific implementation adopts the following technical solution:
[0025] This specific embodiment includes a cylinder body 1, a cylinder head 2, a lifting seat 5, and a gasket 6. The cylinder head 2 covers the upper port of the cylinder body 1. A sealing ring groove 3 is formed on the end wall of the upper port of the cylinder body 1. The sealing ring groove 3 has a rectangular cross-section. A settling groove 4 is formed at the bottom of the sealing ring groove 3. The settling groove 4 has a rectangular cross-section, and its width is smaller than that of the sealing ring groove 3. Thus, the settling groove 4 and the sealing ring groove 3 form an inverted "convex" structure, that is, the sealing ring groove 3 and the settling groove 4 form a stepped sealing groove on the cylinder body 1. During installation, the sealing ring is placed in the sealing groove. The lifting seat 5 is set in the settling groove 4. The lifting seat 5 has a closed ring structure. A gasket 6 is set on the side of the lifting seat 5 facing the cylinder head 2. The gasket 6 is set in the settling groove 4. The gasket 6 has a closed ring structure and several guide holes 10 are distributed at equal angles on the gasket 6. The axis of the flow hole 10 is set at a certain angle to the axis of the gasket 6. A support ring 7 is sandwiched between the gasket 6 and the lifting seat 5, and the outer wall of the support ring 7 abuts against the inner wall of the outer side of the settling tank 4. The two sides of the support ring 7 abut against the lifting seats 5 and the gasket 6 on both sides, respectively. A mounting seat 8 is set in the settling tank 4 on one side of the inner ring of the support ring 7. Several fins 9 are fixedly arranged at equal angles on the side wall of the mounting seat 8 facing the gasket 6. A counterweight seat 11 is fixedly installed; several guide grooves 12 are opened on the inner wall of the cylinder body 1, and the guide grooves 12 are connected to the interior of the settling tank 4; a pin 13 is fixedly installed on the inner ring wall of the lifting seat 5, and the pin 13 is movably inserted in the guide groove 12; a support sleeve 14 is screwed into the cylinder body 1 through a bearing, and a support groove 15 is opened on the support sleeve 14, and the support groove 15 is set at an angle with the guide groove 12; the pin 13 is movably inserted in the support groove 15.
[0026] When using this device, rotate the support sleeve 14, thereby lowering the pin 13 to the bottom of the guide groove 12 through the cooperation of the guide groove 12 and the support groove 15. This pin 13 then drives the lifting seat 5, causing it to descend to the bottom of the settling tank 4. Next, place the support ring 7 and the mounting seat 8 into the settling tank 4, ensuring that the fins 9 on the mounting seat 8 face the sealing ring groove 3. Then, inject sealing oil into the settling tank 4 and the sealing ring groove 3. After injection, place the gasket 6 into the settling tank 4, with the support ring 7 pressing against it. Then, place the sealing ring into the sealing ring groove 3 and close the cylinder cover 2, completing the assembly of the air cylinder. In daily use, as the air cylinder follows the movement of the external device, the inertial kinetic energy of the counterweight 11 drives the mounting seat 8 to rotate, thereby causing the mounting seat 8 to rotate the fins 9. The fins 9 push the sealing oil in the settling tank 4 and discharge it through the guide hole 10. This ensures that the sealing oil maintains frequent contact with the sealing ring, thereby filling the gaps in the sealing connection of the equipment and achieving a seal for the air cylinder in conjunction with the sealing ring. During prolonged use, the sealing oil may oxidize and fail. When replacing the sealing ring or cleaning and preparing the cylinder body 1, the cylinder cover 2 is removed. Then, the support sleeve 14 is rotated, pushing the pin 13 through the support groove 15. The pin 13 slides within the guide groove 12, thereby lifting the lifting seat 5 towards one side of the sealing ring groove 3. The lifting seat 5 then pushes the support ring 7, mounting seat 8, and gasket 6 out of the settling groove 4, and moves the lifting seat 5 until its end face is flush with the bottom of the sealing ring groove 3. Next, the pushed-out mounting seat 8, support ring 7, and gasket 6 are removed, and the waste liquid that has exited into the sealing ring groove 3 is cleaned using tools. After cleaning, the support ring 7, mounting seat 8, gasket 6, and sealing ring are reinstalled, and new oil is injected.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0028] 1. This device is designed for air cylinders using stepped sealing grooves with high sealing performance. The sealing groove has an inverted "convex" structure, which consists of a sealing ring groove 3 with a wider cross section and a settling groove 4 with a narrower cross section, thus providing safe, reliable and stable sealing performance after the sealing ring is installed.
[0029] 2. This device is designed to meet the requirements of stable sealing in high-pressure environments. It uses a sealing oil and a sealing ring to achieve efficient sealing. Based on this, and considering the working environment of this device, a mounting base 8 structure that utilizes kinetic energy conversion is set in the settling tank 4. With the help of the fins 9 on it, this device can frequently raise the sealing oil to keep it in contact with the sealing ring during the movement of the equipment, thereby achieving long-term sealing.
[0030] 3. This device addresses the issue of auxiliary sealing oil being installed in the trapezoidal groove, and the need for routine maintenance due to oil aging. A liftable seat 5 is installed in the settling tank 4. This allows the waste liquid and structural components in the settling tank 4 to be pushed out by raising the lift seat 5 during cleaning of the settling tank 4 and the sealing ring groove 3, facilitating cleaning.
[0031] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
