[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a hydraulic cylinder, including a cylinder body. The cylinder body includes a cylinder barrel 100 and a cylinder bottom 200. A piston rod 400 is disposed inside the cylinder barrel 100. One end of the piston rod 400 extends from an end cap 600 on the opposite side of the cylinder bottom 200. The other end of the piston rod 400 divides the inner cavity of the cylinder body into a rodless cavity and a rod cavity. The piston rod 400 and the cylinder bottom 200 form the rodless cavity within the cylinder barrel 100. A sensor device 300 is mounted on the cylinder bottom 200. The sensor device 300 includes... A first housing 301 is connected to the cylinder bottom 200. The axis of the first housing 301 is perpendicular to the axis of the piston rod 400. A radar probe 302 is installed inside the first housing 301. A radar wave passage 303 is provided on the cylinder bottom 200 between the radar probe 302 and the piston rod 400 to allow ultrasonic waves, millimeter waves, etc., emitted by the radar probe 302 to pass through the radar wave passage 303. The sound waves emitted by the radar probe 302 are reflected back by the piston rod 400 after passing through the radar wave passage 303, thereby measuring the position information of the piston rod 400.
[0042] In this invention, the sensor device 300 is mounted on the cylinder bottom 200, and the first housing 301 is perpendicular to the piston rod 400. The radar probe 302 does not need to be installed in contact with the piston rod 400, which reduces the amount of machining required for the piston rod 400. At the same time, compared with the prior art, the sensor device 300 is easier to remove from the cylinder bottom 200.
[0043] To further improve the accuracy of the radar probe 302 in measuring the position of the piston rod 400, a temperature probe 304 and a pressure probe 305 are also provided inside the first housing 301. The temperature probe 304 can measure the temperature of the liquid inside the rodless cavity, and the pressure probe 305 can measure the pressure of the liquid inside the rodless cavity. The sound wave velocity is corrected based on the temperature and pressure. The product of the corrected sound wave velocity and the sound wave propagation time is then divided by two to obtain the distance between the piston rod 400 and the radar probe 302. This invention considers the influence of medium temperature and pressure on the sound wave velocity, using the temperature and pressure measured by the temperature probe 304 and the pressure probe 305 to correct the sound wave velocity, thereby improving the accuracy of the measured position of the piston rod 400. Specifically, the sound velocity-temperature-pressure formula is as follows:
[0044] V(P,t)=V0+5.0383T-0.0579T 2 +3.34*10 -4 T 3 +(1.60+A*T)(P-101325) / 101325;
[0045] Where V is the corrected speed of sound; V0 is the initial speed of sound of the radar probe 302; P is the pressure; T is the temperature; and A is an empirical constant with a value range of -0.01 to 0.015.
[0046] Specifically, a first mounting hole 306 is provided on the side of the first housing 301 near the radar wave port 303. A pressure-isolating plate 307 is installed on the first mounting hole 306 to prevent liquid in the rodless cavity from entering the first housing 301. The sound waves emitted by the radar probe 302 can pass through the pressure-isolating plate 307 and interfere with the piston rod 400 before being reflected back. The pressure-isolating plate 307 is made of a material that allows ultrasonic waves to pass through, such as ceramic, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), stainless steel, carbon fiber, etc. The pressure-isolating plate 307 is connected to the first mounting hole 306 by a retaining spring 330.
[0047] Specifically, the first housing 301 is further provided with a second mounting hole 308, which is used to install the pressure probe 305. The liquid in the rodless cavity can contact the pressure probe 305 to achieve pressure measurement. More specifically, the pressure probe 305 is installed on an auxiliary pressure measuring element 309, which is installed in the second mounting hole 308. The auxiliary pressure measuring element 309 is provided with a pressure measuring channel 310 for the liquid in the rodless cavity to pass through. The pressure measuring channel 310 is connected to the inside of the first housing 301. The pressure probe 305 is installed at the end of the pressure measuring channel 310 away from the inside of the first housing 301. After the liquid enters the pressure measuring channel 310, it contacts the pressure probe 305 to achieve pressure measurement.
[0048] Specifically, the first housing 301 is made of metal and is a good conductor of heat. The temperature probe 304 is installed on the inner wall of the first housing 301. When the liquid in the rodless cavity comes into contact with the first housing 301, it can transfer heat to the first housing 301, thereby enabling the temperature probe 304 to measure the temperature of the liquid.
[0049] Furthermore, to prevent the first housing 301 from oscillating due to uneven force distribution and collision between the first housing 301 and the cylinder bottom 200, which could damage the equipment, a third mounting hole 311 is provided on the cylinder bottom 200. The first housing 301 is installed in the third mounting hole 311. A first sealing element 312 and a second sealing element 313 are installed on the outer walls of the first housing 301 on both radial sides of the radar wave aperture. The diameters of the first sealing element 312 and the second sealing element 313 are equal, thus ensuring that the pressure on the first housing 301 is equal and that the first housing 301 is in a state of force balance. Compared with the situation of concentrated force on one side of the sensor equipment in the prior art, the first housing 301 in this utility model has less vibration, higher reliability, avoids equipment damage, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0050] In this embodiment, to prevent liquid leakage into the third mounting hole 311 due to damage to the seal installed on the first housing 301, which could cause a pressure buildup hazard, a pressure relief channel 314 is provided below the third mounting hole 311. Leaking liquid can flow out through the pressure relief channel 314. To prevent liquid backflow through the pressure relief channel 314, a pressure relief element 315 is installed in the pressure relief channel 314. Specifically, the pressure relief element 315 is a one-way valve. Furthermore, an annular groove 332 is provided at the connection between the third mounting hole 311 and the radar wave aperture 303, so that the first housing 301 is radially balanced, reducing the vibration of the first housing 301; the radar wave aperture 303 coincides with the central axis of the piston rod 400.
[0051] Furthermore, to prevent the first housing 301 from rotating during operation, the hydraulic cylinder also includes an anti-rotation plate 316. The anti-rotation plate 316 is engaged with the end of the first housing 301 away from the cylinder bottom 200. Specifically, a locking block 317 is provided at the end of the first housing 301 away from the cylinder bottom 200, and a locking groove 318 is provided on the anti-rotation plate 316 to cooperate with the locking block 317, thereby preventing the first housing 301 from rotating in the second mounting hole 308. Specifically, the locking block 317 has a strip-shaped structure, and the shape of the locking groove 318 matches the shape of the locking block 317.
[0052] To facilitate the removal of the first housing 301 from the second mounting hole 308, the anti-rotation plate 316 is also connected to the first housing 301 by a fastener, such as a pin 327. The first housing 301 can be pulled out by removing and installing the anti-rotation plate 316, saving manpower and time.
[0053] To measure the distance, pressure, and temperature of the radar probe 302, pressure probe 305, and temperature probe 304, the sensor device 300 further includes a ranging circuit board 319, a sensor digital communication connector 331, and a controller 320. The ranging circuit board 319 is electrically connected to the sensor digital communication connector 331, and the sensor digital communication connector 331 is electrically connected to the controller 320. The ranging circuit board 319 is connected to the radar probe 302, temperature probe 304, and pressure probe 305 via a communication cable 328. The controller 320 can measure the distance, pressure, and temperature by controlling the sensor digital communication connector 331 and the ranging circuit board 319. The controller 320 has a built-in distance compensation method calculation program, which includes the aforementioned sound velocity-temperature-pressure formula. The distance compensation method calculation program uses temperature and pressure data to correct the ultrasonic velocity and then calculates the distance between the piston rod and the radar probe.
[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ranging circuit board 319 is disposed in the second housing 321, which is connected to the anti-rotation plate 316. Preferably, the second housing 321 is installed above the anti-rotation plate 316, and the two are connected as one unit by bolts 322. To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second housing 321, the anti-rotation plate 316, and the first housing 301, a through hole 323 is provided through the second housing 321 and the anti-rotation plate 316. By inserting a tool such as a screw into the through hole 323, with the screw contacting the surface of the cylinder bottom 200 near the anti-rotation plate 316, and by continuing to rotate the screw or other tool, the first housing 301, the second housing 321, and the anti-rotation plate 316 can be removed from the cylinder bottom 200. When not disassembling, a dust cap 324 is installed on the through hole 323.
[0055] Specifically, the ranging circuit board 319 includes a temperature detection circuit, a boost excitation pulse circuit, a signal amplification and shaping circuit, a pressure sensing element, a processor, etc. This part belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here. In addition, in order to avoid liquid leakage in the rodless cavity, a plug 329 is installed on the side of the first housing 301 opposite to the radar wave port 303.
[0056] In this embodiment, a first inlet hole 325 communicating with the rodless chamber is provided on the cylinder bottom 200, and a second inlet hole 326 communicating with the rod chamber is provided on the cylinder barrel 100. The first inlet hole 325 and the second inlet hole 326 are connected to a reversing valve 500, which is connected to a controller 320. The controller 320 can control the reversing valve 500 to reverse.
[0057] Specifically, the control method for the piston rod 400 of the hydraulic cylinder is as follows: the controller 320 sets the target position of the piston rod 400, and the directional valve 500 is given a command to control the piston rod 400 to extend and retract. The radar probe 302 emits ultrasonic waves to the piston rod 400. The temperature probe 304 detects the temperature of the medium in the rodless cavity, and the pressure probe 305 detects the pressure in the rodless cavity. The controller 320 obtains the position information of the piston rod based on the initial velocity of the ultrasonic waves, the return time of the ultrasonic waves, the medium temperature, and the medium pressure.
[0058] When the piston rod 400 reaches the set position, the controller 320 controls the reversing valve 500 to reset, and the hydraulic cylinder stops its extension and retraction movement, thus realizing the control and application of the sensor device 300, including the radar probe 302, on the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder in the downhole working face.
[0059] This invention mounts the sensor device 300 on the cylinder bottom 200, with the first housing 301 perpendicular to the piston rod 400. The radar probe 302 does not need to be installed in contact with the piston rod 400, reducing the machining workload of the piston rod 400. Furthermore, compared to existing technologies, the sensor device 300 is easier to remove from the cylinder bottom 200. This invention considers the influence of medium temperature and pressure on sound wave velocity, using temperature probe 304 and pressure probe 305 to measure the temperature and pressure to correct for the sound wave velocity, thereby improving the accuracy of the measured position of the piston rod 400. A first seal 312 and a second seal 313 are installed on the outer wall of the first housing 301. The diameters of the first seal 312 and the second seal 313 are equal, ensuring that the first housing 301 experiences equal vertical pressure. The first housing 301 is in a state of force balance. Compared to the situation in existing sensor devices where force is concentrated on one side, the first housing 301 in this invention experiences less vibration, has higher reliability, avoids equipment damage, and extends the equipment's service life. This invention features a pressure relief channel 314 below the third mounting hole 311, allowing leaked liquid to flow out and preventing pressure buildup. An anti-rotation plate 316 is engaged with the first housing 301, preventing rotation of the first housing 301 and ensuring probe functionality. The anti-rotation plate 316 is also connected to the first housing 301 via a fastener, facilitating disassembly of the first housing 301. A through hole 323 is provided, connecting the second housing 321 and the anti-rotation plate 316. Workers can remove the first housing 301, second housing 321, and anti-rotation plate 316 from the cylinder bottom 200 by inserting a tool such as a screw into the through hole 323, with the screw contacting the surface of the cylinder bottom 200 near the anti-rotation plate 316, and by rotating the tool. This process is time-saving and labor-saving.
