Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and further to the field of buffer equipment technology. Specifically, it relates to a floating sleeve combination buffer device suitable for large-diameter hydraulic cylinders, which has a simple structure, is easy to install, and has reliable performance. Background Technology
[0002] A hydraulic cylinder is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, performing linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion). 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. Hydraulic cylinders are simple in structure and reliable in operation. When using hydraulic cylinders to achieve reciprocating motion, a reduction gear is unnecessary, and there is no transmission backlash, resulting in smooth movement. Therefore, hydraulic cylinders are widely used in machine tool industries, metallurgical industries, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, automotive industries, and light textile industries.
[0003] When a hydraulic cylinder is working, the piston drives the load (such as a robotic arm, machine tool slide, or lifting platform) to move at high speed, generating significant inertia. At the end of its stroke, when the piston directly impacts the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder (cylinder head or end cap), a rigid impact occurs. This impact force is even greater for large-diameter hydraulic cylinders. Rigid impacts can easily damage internal components of the hydraulic cylinder, and in severe cases, may render the cylinder unusable, thus paralyzing the entire transmission system. In critical working environments, this can inevitably lead to serious safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, the key to solving this problem is to research and develop a floating sleeve combination buffer device that is simple in structure, easy to install, and reliable in performance, suitable for large-diameter hydraulic cylinders. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a floating sleeve combined buffer device that is simple in structure, easy to install, and reliable in performance, suitable for large-diameter hydraulic cylinders.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: it includes a fixed outer sleeve and a floating sleeve. The fixed outer sleeve is disposed inside the cylinder bottom; the fixed outer sleeve and the cylinder bottom are connected by threads; a stepped through hole is provided inside the fixed outer sleeve; a floating sleeve is disposed inside the stepped through hole of the fixed outer sleeve; the floating sleeve is located between the stepped through hole of the fixed outer sleeve and the cylinder bottom; the floating sleeve and the fixed outer sleeve are clearance-fitted; several buffer holes are provided on the flange at one end of the floating sleeve; the buffer holes of the floating sleeve are connected to the oil outlet hole.
[0007] This utility model consists of a fixed outer sleeve and a floating sleeve; the fixed outer sleeve is connected to the cylinder bottom by a thread, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement; an installation process hole is provided on the outer end face of the fixed outer sleeve body to facilitate the installation of the fixed outer sleeve; the buffer hole on the floating sleeve is easy to process; by controlling the diameter and number of buffer holes, the flow rate of oil can be controlled to achieve a suitable buffering effect.
[0008] When the piston rod retracts, the piston moves towards the bottom of the cylinder. When one end of the piston rod enters the inner hole of the floating sleeve, the oil flows through the gap between the fixed outer sleeve and the floating sleeve, as well as the buffer holes on the floating sleeve, to the oil outlet at the bottom of the cylinder (see the oil flow arrow for details). By controlling the diameter and number of buffer holes, the flow rate of the oil can be controlled to achieve a suitable buffering effect.
