Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder internal pressure transmission for force multiplication.
  • Hydraulic cylinders are needed in many places where a fast stroke with little force and then a short, slow stroke with great force are important. Hydraulic cylinders with hydraulic transmission are used in fixture construction, manufacturing machines and presses, in civil engineering for piling and pulling devices. Such cylinders are more compact and lighter than single-stage hydraulic cylinders with the same effective force.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate these disadvantages. This is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of independent claim "I.
  • a single-stage primary piston 2 and a two-stage secondary piston 3 are arranged in the cylinder 1, a piston rod 4 connected to the primary piston 2 passing through the secondary piston 3.
  • the primary piston 2 has a circumferential groove 5 with a sealing ring 6 provided therein.
  • the secondary piston comprises the parts 7 and 8 which form the two stages and which have a different diameter from one another.
  • a circumferential groove 9 and 10 with seals 11 and 12 provided therein are provided in part 7 and in part 8.
  • a circumferential groove 14 with a seal 15 provided therein is also provided in the bore 13 provided in part 8 of the secondary piston 3 for the passage of the piston rod.
  • the cylinder 1 is closed on the side of the secondary piston 3 by a cylinder cover 16, through which the piston rod 4 is guided.
  • a circumferential groove 18 is provided with a seal 19 attached therein.
  • a first shut-off piston 22 acted upon by a first, weak spring 21 and a second shut-off piston 24 acted upon by a second strong spring 23.
  • Both the first and the second shut-off piston are designed in two stages, each with a part 25 or. 26 with a larger diameter and a part 27 respectively. 28 are provided with a smaller diameter. With parts 27 and 28 with a smaller diameter is a piston rod 29, respectively. 30 connected, each in a chamber 31 opposite the shut-off piston. 32 lead.
  • Opening pistons 33 and 34 are provided in the chambers 31 and 32.
  • a supply line 35 for the pressure medium leads into the chamber 31 in the area between the piston rod 29 and the end face of the opening piston 33, the two chambers 31 and 32 being connected by a line 36.
  • the chamber 37 surrounding the front part 27 of the first shut-off piston 22 is connected via a line 38 to a first pressure chamber 39 between the primary piston and the cylinder wall. From the line 38 leads a branch line 40 into a step chamber 41 between the part 7 of the secondary piston 3 and the inner wall of the cylinder 1. This step chamber 41 is laterally by a shoulder 42 on the outer circumference of the secondary piston 3 and by a shoulder 43 on the inner wall of the Cylinder 1 limited.
  • the chamber surrounding the front part 28 of the second shut-off piston 24 is connected via a line 44 for the pressure medium to a second pressure chamber 45 between the boundary surface 46 of the secondary piston opposite the cylinder cover and the cylinder cover.
  • the chamber 47 between the primary and secondary pistons is connected via a line 48 to the chambers on the right-hand side of the opening pistons 33 and 34 according to the FIG.
  • the pressure medium is conveyed from the unpressurized chamber 47 via the line 48 into a container (not shown).
