A buffer protection device, a hot
forging balancer, and a buffering method are disclosed, belonging to the technical field of hot
forging presses. The buffer protection device includes a sleeve for mounting on top of the balancer. A lower
piston rod is slidably disposed within the sleeve, with its lower end extending downwards out of the sleeve to contact the
piston ejected from the balancer. An anti-loosening steel wire connects the sleeve and the lower
piston rod. The tensioning and breakage of the anti-loosening steel wire dissipates some of the
impact energy, achieving primary buffering. An upper
piston rod is slidably disposed within the sleeve, coaxially arranged with the lower
piston rod. A buffer
bushing is fixed above the upper
piston rod, guiding the upper piston rod to undergo plastic deformation, achieving secondary buffering. Through multi-stage buffering and
energy absorption, the device smoothly blocks the ejected piston and piston rod after breakage, effectively preventing them from flying out while maximizing the absorption of
impact energy and avoiding damage to the balancer cylinder.
