This first valve 9 can be check valve.In embodiment illustrated in fig. 2, this first valve 9 is the ball valve 92 by bias spring 91 effects.Under original state, the bias spring 91 in this first valve 9 applies biasing force by the ball valve 92 to for example steel ball, makes ball valve 92 sealing the first cavitys 14 lead to the entrance of bypass channel 16, thereby bypass channel 16 is closed.When the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the first cavity 14 increases to predetermined value, this hydraulic pressure acts on ball valve 92 and overcomes the biasing force of bias spring 91, thereby make ball valve 92 lead to the entrance of bypass channel 16 away from the first cavity 14, thereby open bypass channel 16.Can select to have according to described predetermined value the bias spring 91 of suitable biasing force.In other embodiments, this first valve 9 also can be selected the valve of other form.
Be provided with the part of the first valve 9 in bypass channel 16, the horizontal-extending part of L shaped bypass channel 16 as shown in Figure 2 preferably can be led to the straight line bearing of trend outside of body 1, and its size is suitable for this first valve 9 turnover bodies 1.Like this, in assembling during this hydraulic floating supporting arrangement, can be easily the first valve 9 be externally mounted to it in the installation site of body 1 inside from body 1.In the exit of body 1, this leakage hole 8 can be set in the part that is provided with the first valve 9 of bypass channel 16.This leakage hole 8 is communicated with bypass channel 16, in order to discharge hydraulic fluid from bypass channel 16 when end-of-job.As previously mentioned, this leakage hole 8 can be limited by the joint that removably is threaded onto body 1.This leakage hole 8 is arranged to dismountable form, and this also is convenient to the installation of the first valve 9.In other embodiments, replaceable or additionally, also can the leakage hole that be communicated with it be set at the second cavity 15 places.
8 places can arrange second valve 81 at this leakage hole, in order to open and close this leakage hole 8.This second valve 81 can be solenoid directional control valve, this solenoid directional control valve work normality is closure state, after the workpiece completion of processing, automatically send signal by the controller (not shown) to this solenoid directional control valve, make solenoid directional control valve open, like this, the hydraulic fluid in the second cavity 15 and bypass oil duct 16 can be discharged from this leakage hole 8.
Can be at the interior first piston 2 that arranges of the first cavity 14.First piston 2 can contact with the first cavity 14 sealing, and moves to bearing position along the first cavity 14 from initial position under the pressure-acting of hydraulic fluid that can be in the first cavity 14.The upper end of first piston 2 can be shaped as pressure head 18.In other embodiments, pressure head 18 can arrange with first piston 2 is independent, and is driven by first piston 2.The initial position of first piston 2 can be hydraulic fluid when not entering the first cavity 14, first piston 2 residing position.Fig. 2 exemplarily shows an initial position of first piston 2.The bearing position of first piston 2 can be hydraulic fluid when entering the first cavity 14, and first piston 2 moves under the effect of hydraulic pressure, thereby drives or band dynamic head 18 is moved into and presses and when supporting workpiece to be processed, first piston 2 residing position.Fig. 3 exemplarily shows a bearing position of first piston 2.Can strengthen sealing between them by the first sealing ring 12 is set between first piston 2 and the first cavity 14.
This first piston 2 position therebetween has the expansion section 19 that diameter increases, thereby the first side 191 and the second side 192 are provided respectively in the both sides of this expansion section 19.This first cavity 14 preferably can lead to the straight line bearing of trend outside of body 1, and its size is suitable for this first piston 2 these first cavitys 14 of turnover.Like this, in assembling during this hydraulic floating supporting arrangement, can be easily this first piston 2 be externally mounted to it in the installation site of the first cavity 14 inside of body 1 from body 1.
Automatically return to its initial position in order to be convenient to first piston 2 when the end-of-job, back-moving spring 4 can be set apply a reset force to first piston 2.Can spring compressor 5 be set in the exit that the first cavity 14 leads to body 1 outside, and this back-moving spring 4 be arranged between second side 192 of expansion section 19 of this spring compressor 5 and first piston 2.This spring compressor 5 is provided with the opening that stretches out for pressure head 18.Like this, when work, when the promotion of the hydraulic pressure in the first cavity 14 first piston 2 moves from its initial position to bearing position, will be by its second side 192 these back-moving springs 4 of compression.After end-of-job, due to the reduction of the first cavity 14 interior hydraulic pressures, this back-moving spring 4 will apply reset force to first piston 2 by this second side 192, thereby it is back into initial position.
The first cavity 14 can have the stage portion 141 relative with the first side 191 of the expansion section 19 of first piston 2.By this stage portion 141, can limit the initial position of first piston 2.
For the stability that keeps first piston 2 to move along the first cavity 14, for example in order to prevent that first piston 2 is in the first interior rotation of cavity 14, thereby affect machining accuracy, first piston 2 can have the locating slot 193 that extends along its moving direction, body 1 can be provided with alignment pin 6, and this alignment pin 6 can extend in locating slot 193.Like this, by the collaborative work of locating slot 193 and alignment pin 6, can allow first piston 2 to prevent that it from rotating with respect to the first cavity 14 when the first cavity 14 moves.
Can be at interior second piston 7 that arranges of the second cavity 15.The second piston 7 can contact with the second cavity 15 sealings, and can move to latched position along the second cavity 15 from the off-position under the pressure-acting of hydraulic fluid.When this off-position can hydraulic fluid enter the second cavity 15, the second piston 7 residing position.Fig. 2 exemplarily shows an off-position of the second piston 7.This latched position can be hydraulic fluid when entering the second cavity 15, the second piston 7 under the effect of hydraulic pressure when the direction of first piston 2 moves and first piston 2 is locked in its bearing position, the second piston 7 residing position.Fig. 3 exemplarily shows a latched position of the second piston 7.Can strengthen sealing between them by the second sealing ring 13 is set between the second piston 7 and the second cavity 15.
This second cavity 15 preferably can lead to the straight line bearing of trend outside of body 1, and its size is suitable for this second piston 7 these second cavitys 15 of turnover.Like this, in assembling during this hydraulic floating supporting arrangement, can be easily this second piston 7 be externally mounted to it in the installation site of the second cavity 15 inside of body 1 from body 1.Can arrange in the exit that the second cavity 15 leads to the outside of body 1 and bury bolt 11 and seal, prevent leakage of hydraulic fluid.
One side of this second piston 7 has the section that dwindles 71 of reduced, thereby a pressurized side 72 is provided at this root place that dwindles section 71.This dwindles section 71 and is used for preventing that the second piston 7 from disconnecting (that is, not being communicated with) with the second cavity 15 and bypass channel 16, and this length of dwindling section 71 is arranged so that the hydraulic pressure that this pressurized side 72 can be accepted all the time from the hydraulic fluid of the second cavity 15.As shown in Figure 2, even the second piston 7 moves to its most left position, namely, the section that dwindles 71 of the second piston 7 with bury bolt 11 against (at this moment, bury bolt 11 as the left side stop part of the second piston 7), because this dwindles section 71, make the second piston 7 can not seal the entrance that bypass channel 16 leads to the second cavity 15, make the hydraulic fluid from bypass channel 16 still can enter into the second cavity 15; And the hydraulic fluid in the second cavity 15 can be by applying hydraulic pressure on pressurized side 72, and make the second piston 7 move right.
The second cavity 15 can move and extend in the first cavity to allow the second piston 7 towards the first cavity 14 openings, from the voussoir 3 of side direction promotion as locking member, in order to first piston 2 is locked in its bearing position, as shown in Figure 3.Voussoir 3 can be arranged in the first cavity 14, and first piston 2 can be formed with the inclined-plane 194 that matches with voussoir 3 in the face of on the side of voussoir 3.When the second piston 7 promotes voussoirs 3 against the inclined-plane 194 of first piston 2, can prevent that first piston 2 from moving away bearing position, move to the direction of its initial position.
In other embodiments, also can adopt the locking member of other type that is different from voussoir 3, and by the second piston 7, it be driven.In another unshowned embodiment, this locking member for example can be formed in the right-hand end of the second piston 7, and is rendered as concaveconvex structure; Simultaneously the concaveconvex structure that matches can be set on the surface of first piston 2, thereby make the second piston 7 move right and stretch into the first cavity 14 when interior, the second piston 7 and first piston 2 concaveconvex structure separately can be mutually chimeric, lock realizing.
In addition, the outside of body 1 preferably can be led in the vertical extension of L shaped bypass channel 16 with the straight line bearing of trend, can be convenient to like this processing of body 1.The exit that can lead in the vertical extension of bypass channel 16 body 1 outside arranges buries bolt 10 and seals, and prevents leakage of hydraulic fluid.
The course of work of this hydraulic floating supporting arrangement is described below with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.Under original state shown in Figure 2, when hydraulic fluid enters body 1 from hydraulic fluid source via inlet 17, at first be filled with hydraulic fluid at the first cavity 14.First piston 2 is under the hydraulic pressure effect and overcome the elastic force of back-moving spring 4 and leave as shown in Figure 2 initial position and move up, by pressure head 18 against and support the workpiece to be processed (not shown), arrive its bearing position as shown in Figure 3.Should be appreciated that when first piston 2 moves up from initial position, it may separate certain distance with voussoir 3.
After workpiece, the trend that first piston 2 advances is obstructed when pressure head 18.At this moment, the hydraulic pressure that further injects in the first cavity 14, the first cavitys 14 along with hydraulic fluid increases thereupon.After the hydraulic pressure of the first cavity 14 had been elevated to predetermined hydraulic pressure value, the first valve 9 was opened bypass channel 16, and hydraulic fluid enters the second cavity 15 via bypass channel 16.At this moment, second valve 81 is in closed condition.
Under the effect of the hydraulic pressure in the second cavity 15, the second piston 7 begins to move right from the off-position, support on voussoir 3, and continuation promotion voussoir 3 moves right, until voussoir 3 engages and lock with the inclined-plane 194 of first piston 2, thereby first piston 2 is locked in its bearing position.At this moment, the second piston 7 is in its latched position, as shown in Figure 3.
After the workpiece completion of processing, open second valve 81, the second cavitys 15 and the hydraulic fluid in bypass channel 16 at leakage hole 8 places and can discharge via leakage hole 8.Hydraulic fluid in the first cavity 14 can be back to hydraulic fluid source via inlet 17.First piston 2 is got back to its initial position under the effect of the elastic force of back-moving spring 4.And in the process that first piston 2 resets, first piston 2 also promotes voussoir 3 and the second piston 7 resets, and makes the second piston return to its off-position.Like this, whole hydraulic floating supporting arrangement has recovered original state for example shown in Figure 2, works preparing next time.
