Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to hydraulic clamp accessories, and in particular, to a hydraulic clamp cylinder assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Electric hydraulic pliers offer significant convenience for electrical system installation and maintenance due to their small size, light weight (one-handed operation), high output force, and built-in battery. Currently available electric hydraulic pliers typically feature a pressure regulating valve. During oil return, the hydraulic oil must first lift the valve's pin to open the return oil path, allowing the cylinder piston to reset. However, actual testing has shown that after the pin is lifted, relying solely on the pressure regulating spring's thrust often results in a slow reset, requiring the power piston to fully retract. When the electric hydraulic pliers are in continuous operation, waiting for the power piston to fully retract leads to decreased work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0020] The oil pumping device is used to pump hydraulic oil from the oil sac 2 into the piston chamber through the oil inlet channel 11. Specifically, the oil pumping device includes a plunger assembly 10 and a drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 is mounted on the outside of the cylinder body 1 via a bracket 4. The cylinder body 1 is provided with a plunger chamber 13 communicating with the oil inlet channel 11. The plunger assembly 10 is installed in the plunger chamber 13. The drive motor 3 is connected to the plunger assembly 10 to drive the plunger assembly 10 to work, thereby pumping hydraulic oil into the piston chamber. The working principle of the oil pumping device is prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0021] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the cylinder body 1 is provided with a pressure regulating chamber 14 that communicates with the oil return channel. A pressure regulating valve 5 is installed in the pressure regulating chamber 14. The pressure regulating valve 5 is used to control the opening and closing of the oil return channel according to the oil pressure of the oil return channel.
[0022] The pressure regulating valve 5 includes a pressure regulating piston 53, a valve seat 54, a ejector pin 52, a pressure regulating cap 51, and a pressure regulating spring 55. The pressure regulating cap 51 is threadedly connected to the upper end of the pressure regulating chamber 14. The ejector pin 52 is movably inserted through the pressure regulating cap 51. The pressure regulating piston 53 is located below the pressure regulating cap 51 and is fixedly sleeved with the ejector pin 52. A gap is left between the pressure regulating piston 53 and the inner wall of the pressure regulating chamber 14, dividing the pressure regulating chamber 14 into a first upper chamber and a first lower chamber. One end of the pressure regulating spring 55 abuts against the pressure regulating cap 51, and the other end abuts against the pressure regulating piston 53.
[0023] An upper sealing ring 56 is provided between the pressure regulating cap 51 and the pressure regulating spring 55, and a lower sealing ring 57 is provided between the pressure regulating cap 51 and the side wall of the pressure regulating chamber 14 to achieve a better sealing effect.
[0024] The valve seat 54 is installed at the lower end of the first lower chamber via a threaded connection. A sealing gasket 58 is provided at the bottom of the valve seat 54 to achieve a good sealing effect. The valve seat 54 has a pressure regulating hole 541. The valve seat 54 divides the first lower chamber into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, and an oil passage connecting the upper and lower chambers is provided between the valve seat 54 and the side wall of the first lower chamber. Specifically, at least one straight surface 542 is provided on the side of the valve seat 54, and an oil passage is formed between this straight surface 542 and the side wall of the first lower chamber.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the oil return channel includes channel 121, channel 22 and channel 323. One end of channel 121 is connected to the piston chamber and the other end is connected to the lower end of the pressure regulating chamber 14. One end of channel 22 is connected to the first upper chamber and the other end is connected to the oil sac 2. One end of channel 3123 is connected to the first lower chamber and the other end is connected to the oil sac 2.
[0026] When the power piston 7 retracts, the ejector pin 52 is pushed open, the pressure regulating port 541 opens, and hydraulic oil enters the pressure regulating chamber 14, then returns to the oil bladder 2 through the return oil channel. Afterwards, the ejector pin 52 gradually descends under the pushing action of the pressure regulating spring 55, and the hydraulic oil in the first lower chamber flows back to the oil bladder 2, finally closing the pressure regulating port 541. When the oil pumping device operates, hydraulic oil enters the piston chamber, propelling the power piston 7 forward.
[0027] The cylinder block 1 is also provided with a pressure relief chamber for connecting the pressure regulating chamber 14 and the oil inlet channel 11 to form a pressure relief channel. The pressure relief chamber includes a second upper chamber 151 and a second lower chamber 152. The inner diameter of the second lower chamber 152 is smaller than that of the second upper chamber 151. The second upper chamber 151 is penetrated by the oil inlet channel 11, that is, the oil inlet channel 11 is connected to the second upper chamber 151. The second lower chamber 152 is connected to the upper chamber or the lower chamber, as shown in the figure, which is connected to the lower chamber.
[0028] A pressure relief valve 6 is installed inside the pressure relief chamber, and the pressure relief valve 6 preferably adopts a one-way valve structure. The pressure relief valve 6 includes a steel ball 63, a pressure relief spring 62, and a valve block 61; the valve block 61 is threadedly connected to the opening of the pressure relief chamber; the steel ball 63 is located at the lower end of the second upper chamber 151, and one end of the pressure relief spring 62 abuts against the valve block 61, and the other end abuts against the steel ball 63. When the oil pumping device is working, hydraulic oil enters the piston chamber from the oil inlet channel 11. At this time, the pressure difference between the oil pressure in the oil inlet channel 11 and the first lower chamber reaches a preset value (depending on the pressure relief spring 62), the steel ball 63 is pushed up, that is, the pressure relief valve 6 opens, and the hydraulic oil in the first lower chamber enters the oil inlet channel 11 through the pressure relief chamber, thereby enabling the oil in the first lower chamber to be discharged quickly.
[0029] Of course, the above are just typical examples of this utility model. In addition, this utility model may have many other specific implementation methods. All technical solutions formed by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
