Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic cylinder technology, specifically to a welded cylinder body structure. Background Technology

[0002] A hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, performing linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion). It has a simple structure and reliable operation. When used to achieve reciprocating motion, it eliminates the need for a speed reduction device, eliminates transmission backlash, and provides smooth movement, thus finding wide application in the hydraulic systems of various machines. The output force of a hydraulic cylinder is directly proportional to the effective area of ​​the piston and the pressure difference between its two sides. A hydraulic cylinder basically consists of a cylinder barrel and cylinder head, a piston and piston rod, a sealing device, a cushioning device, and a venting device. The cushioning and venting devices are optional depending on the specific application, while the other devices are essential.

[0003] The original general-purpose cylinder block manufacturing process typically uses gray cast iron and ductile iron as materials and employs casting technology. However, this has the following drawbacks: the product is heavy under the same strength, resulting in material waste; molds are required, making it unsuitable for single-piece production; cylinder blocks produced using traditional welding methods are generally directly welded, which leads to easy breakage at the weld seam or a large amount of waste, affecting the aesthetics. Therefore, we have proposed an improvement and a welded cylinder block structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a welded cylinder structure, solving the problem of manufacturing using casting processes as mentioned in the background section. However, it has the following drawbacks: under the same strength, the product is heavy, resulting in material waste; molds are required, making it unsuitable for single-piece production; cylinders produced using traditional welding methods are generally directly welded, which leads to easy breakage at the weld seam or a large amount of waste.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a welded cylinder structure, including a cylinder body, a front mounting end cap welded to the front end of the cylinder body, a rear mounting end cap welded to the rear end of the cylinder body, a front end cap detachably connected to the front mounting end cap by bolts, and a rear end cap detachably connected to the rear mounting end cap by bolts. The use of a split welding method can reduce the cost of molds and the difficulty of mold preparation, and facilitate the preparation of large hydraulic cylinder bodies.

[0006] Optionally, the side walls of the front end cover and the rear end cover are respectively equipped with injection connectors, which are connected to the cylinder body. The injection connectors can inject hydraulic oil to drive the piston movement.

[0007] Optionally, one end of the cylinder has an insertion protrusion, and the inner wall of the rear mounting end cover has a slot. A sealing ring is engaged between the insertion protrusion and the slot. A buffer rubber sheet is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rear end cover. The buffer rubber sheet can play a role in shock absorption and buffering when the piston slides. The insertion protrusion and the slot are engaged and fixed, which facilitates installation.

[0008] Optionally, the insertion protrusion has an outer cutting surface facing outward, and the slot has an inner cutting surface inclined towards the inner wall. The mutual contact between the outer and inner cutting surfaces can improve the stability of the welding and ensure the tightness of the overall welding.

[0009] Optionally, the inner wall of the rear end cover has an inwardly opening first overflow groove, and the outer wall of the insertion protrusion has an outwardly opening second overflow groove. A receiving chamber can be formed between the first overflow groove and the second overflow groove, and welding waste can overflow into the first overflow groove and the second overflow groove, thereby improving the stability and aesthetics of the welding.

[0010] Optionally, the front mounting end cap includes a left half-ring and a right half-ring. The inner sidewall of the left half-ring and the right half-ring, as well as one end of the outer wall of the cylinder body, have outwardly extending protruding teeth. The cross-section of the protruding teeth is trapezoidal. The left half-ring, the right half-ring, and the outer wall of the cylinder body are respectively provided with snap-fit ​​grooves that are adapted to the protruding teeth. The protruding teeth are snapped and fixed with the snap-fit ​​grooves, which can improve the stability of installation and reduce the risk of separation.

[0011] Optionally, the inner walls of the left and right half rings also have mounting grooves, and a sealing ring is snapped into the inner wall of the mounting groove. After the left and right half rings are welded to the cylinder body, the sealing ring is squeezed to make the sealing ring change to seal the gap between the left and right half rings and the cylinder body. Through the action of the sealing ring, the risk of weld leakage can be reduced.

[0012] This utility model provides a welded cylinder structure, which has the following beneficial effects: This welded cylinder structure comprises a cylinder body, a front mounting end cap, a front end cap, a rear mounting end cap, and a rear end cap. The rear and front mounting end caps are welded to the cylinder body, allowing for individual fabrication and reducing the difficulty of overall fabrication.

[0020] The insertion protrusion 7 has an outer cutting surface 11 facing outward, and the slot 8 has an inner cutting surface 12 inclined towards the inner wall. The outer cutting surface 11 and the inner cutting surface 12 abut against each other, which can improve the stability of the welding and ensure the tightness of the overall welding. The inner side wall of the rear cover 5 has a first overflow groove 14 opening inward, and the outer wall of the insertion protrusion 7 has a second overflow groove 13 opening outward. A receiving chamber can be formed between the first overflow groove 14 and the second overflow groove 13, and welding waste can overflow into the first overflow groove 14 and the second overflow groove 13, improving the stability and aesthetics of the welding.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the front mounting end cover 2 further includes a left half ring 21 and a right half ring 22.
