Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic cylinder technology, and more specifically, to a sequential telescopic combination hydraulic cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic cylinder, also known as a hydraulic cylinder, is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy to perform linear reciprocating or oscillating motion. A hydraulic cylinder mainly consists of a cylinder body, a piston sleeve, and a piston. When hydraulic oil enters the cylinder body, the piston, which passes through the piston sleeve and is embedded in the cylinder body, is pushed outward by hydraulic pressure, thus generating mechanical motion. When hydraulic oil is discharged from the cylinder body, the piston is pushed back into the cylinder cavity by external force, completing the linear reciprocating motion of the cylinder.
[0003] However, the movement path and speed of a hydraulic cylinder are limited by factors such as the oil flow rate and piston area within the cylinder. The stroke and speed of a single hydraulic cylinder are usually fixed. In complex working conditions, there are often requirements to use different speeds and ultra-long strokes depending on the stage and scenario. Based on this, a method of combining multiple hydraulic cylinders in parallel has been proposed. This allows for a certain degree of control over one or more cylinders to change and expand the total output force, speed, and movement path of the piston. For example, patent CN207073498U provides a parallel hydraulic cylinder, including a main cylinder and branch cylinders that are fixedly connected vertically. A main piston rod runs through the main cylinder, and a main piston disc that seals the bottom of the main cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the main piston rod. Each branch cylinder has at least two sets of branch cylinders that provide different output forces. The lower outer wall of each branch cylinder is fixed to an end plate. Each branch cylinder has a branch piston rod with a branch piston at its end. The outer end of the branch piston rod of each branch cylinder is fixedly connected to the main piston disc. A combined hydraulic cylinder is formed by using two piston-type hydraulic cylinders: the piston rod of one piston-type hydraulic cylinder serves as the cylinder body of the other piston-type hydraulic cylinder, thereby increasing the total stroke of the cylinder's extension and retraction.
[0004] However, in existing combined hydraulic cylinders as described above, the positional stability between multiple associated hydraulic cylinders is poor. During use, problems such as discontinuous and uneven movement of the rod's entire motion trajectory can easily occur due to swaying in the connection or positional relationship between multiple adjacent hydraulic cylinders. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in existing combined hydraulic cylinders where the movement trajectory of the rod is discontinuous and uneven due to swaying in the connection or position of multiple adjacent cylinders. This application provides a sequential telescopic combined hydraulic cylinder, composed of parallel-connected large and small hydraulic cylinders. The large and small cylinders are not only connected by the outer walls of their respective cylinder bodies, but also by movable cylinders in the same direction, ensuring that the connection and positional relationship between the parallel cylinders remain stable during operation.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the cylinder rod away from the cylinder piston head is a sliding thick rod, and the end of the cylinder rod close to the cylinder piston head is a venting thin rod, so that when the cylinder rod moves to a position away from the inner cavity of the cylinder, the side wall of the venting thin rod is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cylinder through hole.
[0011] Preferably, a rod connecting channel is provided on one side of the movable cylinder, and a cylinder connecting channel is provided on the opposite side of the movable cylinder.

The outer walls of the small hydraulic cylinder 2 and the movable cylinder 3 are detachably connected side by side. One end of the large cylinder piston rod 12 passes through the inner cavity of the large cylinder body 11, and the other end of the large cylinder piston rod 12 passes through the inner cavity of the large cylinder body 11 and the inner cavity of the movable cylinder 3 in sequence. When the large cylinder piston rod 12 moves to a position away from the large cylinder body 11, the inner cavity of the large cylinder body 11 and the inner cavity of the movable cylinder 3 can be connected through a vent pipe.
[0022] In this embodiment, the large cylinder piston rod 12 includes a large cylinder rod body 121 and a large cylinder piston head 122. The large cylinder piston head 122 is located at the end of the large cylinder rod body 121 within the inner cavity of the large cylinder body 11. A large cylinder through hole 111 is provided at the position through which the large cylinder piston rod 12 passes. A venting channel 112 is also provided near the large cylinder through hole 111 in the large cylinder body 11. One end of the venting channel 112 communicates with the inner cavity of the large cylinder body 11, and the other end of the venting channel 112 can communicate with the inner cavity of the movable cylinder 3. The end of the large cylinder rod body 121 furthest from the large cylinder piston head 122 is a sliding thick rod 123. One end of the rod 121 near the piston head 122 of the large cylinder is a venting rod 124. When the rod 121 moves to a position away from the inner cavity of the large cylinder 11, the side wall of the venting rod 124 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the large cylinder through hole 111. A rod connecting hole 31 is provided on one side of the movable cylinder 3, and a cylinder connecting hole 32 is provided on the other opposite side of the movable cylinder 3.

[0024] The sequential telescopic combination cylinder of this embodiment mainly consists of parallel large and small cylinders 2. The large and small cylinders 2 are not only connected by the outer walls of their respective cylinder bodies, but also connected in the same direction by movable cylinders 3, etc. This ensures that the connection and positional relationship between the parallel cylinders remain stable during operation, solving the problem of poor positional stability among multiple associated cylinders in existing combination cylinders. Similarly, those skilled in the art can also configure more cylinders for parallel combination based on the above concept, achieving the same range extension effect with stable positional structure.
[0025] Furthermore, the technical focus of this embodiment is mainly on the specific connection method and working method of the connecting component between the large hydraulic cylinder 1 and the small hydraulic cylinder 2. Therefore, the basic structural components of the large hydraulic cylinder 1 and the small hydraulic cylinder 2 are not described in detail above. However, those skilled in the art should understand from common knowledge that the large hydraulic cylinder 1 and the small hydraulic cylinder 2, in addition to the large cylinder body 11 or the small cylinder body 21 (i.e., cylinder barrel), the large cylinder piston rod 12 or the small cylinder piston rod 22, should also include known components such as end caps, piston rod seals, guide sleeves, and filling and exhaust mechanisms. Moreover, their working methods and principles can be directly applied to the commonly used sleeve piston cylinders on the market.
