Definitions

• the invention relates to a pressure intensifier according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.
• Such pressure intensifiers are known to the applicant and are offered as a pneumatic / hydraulic component, for example according to the illustration in FIG. 1.
• pneumatic pressure is exerted on a piston with a larger area. This creates greater pressure on the piston with the smaller area.
• hydraulic oil can be used on the pressure side. With such pressure translators, prints in the ratio of 1:40 can be generated.
• This type of pressure intensifier can be used wherever high pressures are required for short strokes. Areas of application include punching, embossing, signing, deep drawing, clamping, shearing, bending and straightening.
• a movement of the piston of the cylinder (here the larger piston is meant) as a result of pressurization by a mechanical connection of this piston with a translation piston of a pressure cylinder (here the smaller piston is meant) is transmitted to the translation piston of the pressure cylinder.
• the translation piston of the pressure cylinder has a smaller area than the piston of the cylinder which is pressurized.
• Different media can be used for pressure transmission such as compressed air, oil, water or other gases and liquids. These media can also be different on the low pressure side compared to the high pressure side.
• the object of the present invention is to design a pressure intensifier in such a way that it can be used in a variety of ways with regard to its possible uses.
• this object is achieved in that at least one further piston of at least one further cylinder is present, this at least one further cylinder as well as the at least one associated piston being of hollow-cylindrical design, the pressure cylinder being arranged in the hollow-cylindrical recess.
• the at least one piston is mechanically connected to the pressure cylinder, the pressure being built up in the pressure cylinder by the movement of the pressure cylinder relative to the translation piston, the translation piston of the pressure cylinder having a smaller area than the at least one piston of the at least one cylinder, at least one further piston of at least one further cylinder being present, this at least one further cylinder as well as the at least one associated piston being of hollow-cylindrical design, the translation piston being arranged in the hollow-cylindrical recess.
• the pressure intensifier has a considerably more compact design compared to the designs known from the prior art.
• the pressure cylinder protrudes from the cylinder into which the pressure is fed.
• This pressure cylinder is significantly thinner than the other cylinder.
• the external dimensions of the component are therefore largely determined by the larger radius of the cylinder into which the pressure is fed. The space around the thinner pressure cylinder is wasted.
• the space surrounding the pressure cylinder is used as an additional cylinder space in order to supply pressure.
• the translation piston has a bore in the axial direction, which is designed as a channel for the pressure medium between the pressure cylinder and the working cylinder.
• the individual cylinders are separated by separating flanges which act as support surfaces for the respective pistons.
• the pressure can be introduced into the individual cylinders by the pistons then being supported accordingly in order to be able to pass on the movement into the pressure cylinder.
• the pressure is given pneumatically in the cylinders.
• the pressure cylinder is hydraulic.
• the pneumatic and hydraulic systems are separated from each other by a leak channel. This advantageously prevents oil from getting into the pneumatic part in the event of a leak in the hydraulic part and vice versa.
• the volume of the pressure cylinder is formed by an annular chamber, the translation piston being extended along the inner diameter of the annular chamber by a pull rod which is connected to a support flange.
• the translation piston forms a pressure cylinder on both sides of the piston surface, each of these pressure cylinders being connected via a check valve to a supply of the pressure medium and to an output line for the pressure medium, one of the cylinders moving when the piston is moving the printing cylinder compresses the printing medium to the output line and the other printing cylinder sucks in the printing medium.
• the proposed design has the advantage that pressure medium can be conveyed quasi continuously because two pressure cylinders are available, one of which is the pressure medium in each direction of movement compacted.
• both cylinders with the associated pistons are hollow-cylindrical, a transmission piston being connected on both sides by means of support rods with support flanges, the support rods being guided through the hollow-cylindrical recesses, two pressure cylinders being formed, one of which is in each case one Side of the translation piston is formed with an annular chamber in the cylinder wall.
• the translation piston is connected by means of a pull rod to one of the pistons of the cylinders, the pull rod running in the opening of an annular chamber which connects with the Translation piston forms a first pressure cylinder, wherein the side wall of the translation piston forms a second pressure cylinder with the support flange and the other side of the translation piston.
• a pressure relief valve is provided in the translation piston for feeding pressure medium into the first pressure cylinder.
• both pressure chambers of the pressure cylinder can advantageously be supplied with pressure medium via an external connection of the pressure booster.
• a plurality of pressure cylinders are coupled to one another with regard to their movable parts
• a pressure intensifier with at least one cylinder and at least one pressure cylinder has a sealing system such that consists of a first seal, a receiving chamber and a second seal, the first seal being arranged between the low-pressure chamber and the receiving chamber and at an overpressure Low-pressure chamber acts sealingly against the receiving chamber and continues to oppose the receiving chamber when there is overpressure the low pressure chamber is permeable, the second seal acting independently of the pressure conditions sealing between the receiving chamber and the chamber of the at least one pressure cylinder.
• the pressure medium in the low-pressure chamber can be held sealingly during compression by the first seal in the low-pressure chamber.
• the pressure medium in the low-pressure chamber leads to possible losses of the pressure medium flowing from the low-pressure chamber into the receiving chamber. If the pressure medium in the low-pressure chamber is relaxed again, the pressure medium flows from the receiving chamber back into the low-pressure chamber due to the first seal. Leakage losses can thus be largely avoided. Due to the second seal, the pressure medium in the pressure cylinder is sealed against the receiving chamber.
• a pressure intensifier with at least one cylinder and at least one pressure cylinder is configured such that a damping material is applied to the stop surface of the piston on the cylinder wall and / or to the surface in the end position of the piston, and that to the stop surface of the piston a lug is attached to the cylinder wall and / or to the surface abutting in the end position of the piston.

• FIG. 2 shows a pressure intensifier with two low-pressure pistons 2, which are firmly connected to one another by the pressure cylinder 5.
• the achievable high pressure is almost doubled with the same installation space.
• the translation piston 4 is extended as a tie rod 12 and screwed to the low-pressure support flange 10. On the opposite side, the translation piston 4 is guided through the intermediate flange 11 and screwed to the nut 54.
• the tie rod extension 12 of the translation piston 4 enables a translation to almost infinite, which is not possible with the known pressure intensifier due to an extremely thin translation piston.
• the translation piston 4 itself can be designed particularly advantageously as shown here as a tie rod 12, which significantly reduces the pressure intensifier.
• the pressure cylinder 5 is designed as an annular chamber between the connection of the two low-pressure cylinders 2 and the extension of the pull rod 12.
• a high-pressure duct 8 is guided through the pull rod 12, via which the pressure medium can be discharged to a working cylinder.
• a sealing system is shown in the pressure intensifier shown in FIG. 2.
• the sealing system is designed for the return of leakage in such a way that leakage from the low-pressure chamber 50 is held back by the double-acting (second) seal 52 via the single-acting (first) seal 51 and initially collects in the receiving chamber 53 and builds up pressure.
• the pressure in the receiving chamber 53 decreases via the (first) seal 51, which opens like a check valve, into the receiving chamber 53.
• the pressure medium for example oil
• the system is reset by pressurizing port 13, a spring, not shown here, or by pushing the oil back through a working cylinder, not shown here.
• the leakage feedback system of the first seal 51 and the second seal 52 replaces the otherwise cost-intensive pressure medium separation by a channel to the free atmosphere.
• the pressure intensifier can also be equipped with an oscillation control as will be explained in the following figures.
• the pressure intensifier shown in Figure 3 is double-acting. This means that the high-pressure medium is displaced in each of the two directions of movement, high-pressure medium being sucked in on the other side at the same time.

The direction is determined by the starting position of the control valve. The pressure medium is sucked in from one side via the suction valve 18 and delivered to the consumer via the pressure valve 19 on the other. After the low-pressure piston 2 has touched the pilot valve 16, the control valve 15 is switched over by the signal pressure and the pistons move in the opposite direction until the signal venting valve on the opposite side is touched and the signal pressure is vented and the control valve switches back.
• the illustrated nose 55 of the low-pressure piston 2 in connection with the stop damping 14 brings not only the extremely short damping but also a rebound effect, which results in a higher stroke frequency and longer life.

• a defined operating point of the control valve is therefore always reached without it "hanging" between the operating points.
• the pressurization of the control valve 57 moves the low-pressure piston 2 in the direction of the low-pressure support flange 10.
