Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing ring arrangement with a lid and a sealing ring for a pneumatic cylinder.
  • Sealing rings that are used in pneumatic cylinders for application and seal end caps against the cylinder tube of the pneumatic cylinder, are well known, for example from the EP 1 447 571 B1 .
  • the sealing rings which seal the frontal cover in each case with respect to the cylinder tube, are formed by conventional O-rings.
  • the piston has the front side on both sides in each case a dynamically stressed seal, for mutual sealing of the acted upon by a pressure medium spaces.
  • At least partially iron metallic stop element is provided, which is fixed in a piston near basic position by the magnetic force of at least one permanent magnet on the piston and which in a piston remote working position for cushioning in the respective adjacent Protruding pressure chamber, wherein an externally arranged on the cylinder housing adjustable magnetic element for generating a relative to the magnetic field of the permanent magnet substantially inverted magnetic field is provided to achieve a change in position of the stop element from the basic position to the working position when the piston shortly before reaching the end position Magnetic element happens.
  • the previously known pneumatic cylinder has a variety of items, which is unsatisfactory in manufacturing and economic terms.
  • a generic sealing ring assembly is made FR 2658872 known.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a sealing ring, a lid with a sealing ring and a pneumatic cylinder with cover and sealing ring such that the respective parts are simple and inexpensive to produce.
  • the sealing ring should be multifunctional with a simple structure. Due to the small number of parts, the risk of assembly errors should be reduced to a minimum.
  • the material of the sealing ring which is not the subject of the invention, can be formed by a sealing material known per se and can thus be adapted to the particular circumstances of the application,
  • the damping buffer, the static seal and the dynamic seal may be integral with each other and formed of the same material. By combining in one component, the risk of assembly errors is kept to a minimum.
  • the static seal is bead-shaped and can be snapped into a congruently formed undercut of the lid.
  • the static seal and the lid are thus captive connected to each other and form a preassembled unit that can be easily installed.
  • the sealing lip may comprise a first sealing edge, wherein the first sealing edge is sealingly applied to the cover when the sealing lip is applied to the sealing lip.
  • the sealing of the sealing edge on the lid is required for that builds up a sufficiently high pressure within the sealed space for the cushioning and then the piston moves damped in its final position until it applies to the damping buffer.
  • the sealing lip may comprise a second sealing edge which is sealingly applied to the cover when the sealing lip is applied to the sealing lip, wherein the second sealing edge of the first sealing edge is connected upstream in the direction of the pressurized cylinder tube.
  • the first sealing edge may be enclosed at a radial distance on the outside of the second sealing edge.
  • the sealing edges can limit an axially opposite the piston open, C-shaped groove.
  • the sealing lip may be bulged axially in the direction of the piston.
  • This lip design has a pressure-activating effect. The pressure-facing portion of the seal and the lid can be carried out so that no gap extrusion can occur.
  • connection opening may comprise at least one bore arranged on the front side on the circumference and, on the other hand, an annular channel on the face side which can be fluidically connected to a throttle bore in the cylinder tube.
  • the connection opening within the sealing ring can be formed immediately with the production of the sealing ring, so that it no longer requires complicated, subsequent process steps for the preparation of the connection opening.
  • the end faces of the sealing ring can be connected by a ventilation opening, wherein the ventilation opening connects the cylinder tube and the cylinder tube facing side of the second sealing edge in a flow-conducting manner.
  • the sealing lip is acted upon by the overpressure to be sealed so that the pressure on both sealing edges compensates and create these sealing and without risk of lifting on the surfaces to be sealed by damping pin and cover.
  • the medium that is sealed is air.
  • the invention relates to a sealing ring assembly with a cover for a pneumatic cylinder, which is connected to a sealing ring, as described above, and forms with this a preassemblable unit.
  • the undercut in the cover may be formed by a radially outwardly open groove in which the bead-shaped static seal is sealingly arranged.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 show the sealing ring according to the invention, the lid according to the invention and the pneumatic cylinder in different operating states.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment is in Fig. 4 shown.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a section of a pneumatic cylinder is shown schematically. Due to the inventive design of the Sealing ring consists of the pneumatic cylinder only a few parts, which is advantageous in manufacturing technology and economic terms. The risk of assembly errors is reduced by the low-part construction.
  • the sealing ring is multifunctional and comprises a damping buffer 1, which from the piston 2, when this is in its end position ( Fig. 3 ) is touched adjacent.
  • the sealing ring has a static seal 4, with which the front side of the pneumatic cylinder arranged cover 5 is sealed relative to the cylinder tube 3.
  • the sealing ring has a dynamic seal 6 with a dynamically stressed sealing lip 7, which can be applied to the surface 8 to be sealed of the damping pin 9 ( Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ).
  • the sealing ring has a flow-conducting connection opening 10 which connects the end faces 11, 12 of the sealing ring, wherein the connecting opening 10 in the embodiment shown here consists of a bore 16, which the piston 2 axially facing end face 11 of the sealing ring with an annular channel 17th connects, which is arranged on the cover 5 facing the end face 12 and is flow-conducting with the throttle bore 18 in communication.
  • Fig. 1 the piston 2 and the damping pin 9 are shown in a position shortly before the onset of cushioning. At the end of the stroke of the damping pin 9 dives into the dynamic seal 6 with its sealing lip 7, thereby closing off the remaining pressure chamber to be vented, which only via the connection opening 10, which consists of the bore 16 and the annular channel 17, and via the throttle bore 18 of the pneumatic cylinder can be relaxed.
  • connection opening 10 can be given, for example, by the fact that the bore 16, as described above, forms part of the sealing ring, the annular channel 17 but not in the sealing ring but in the lid 5 is located.
  • Such a design is significantly more complicated compared to the described as advantageous, since it requires a machining of the cover 5 for producing an annular channel or a precise shaping of the lid.
  • the annular channel 17, preferably as part of the sealing ring, is advantageous because it does not require the sealing ring to be positioned at an exact angular position in its installation space.
  • At least one ventilation opening 19 is provided, wherein preferably a plurality of evenly distributed in the circumferential direction arranged ventilation openings can be provided.
  • the static first seal 4 is snapped by its bead-shaped holding portion positively and sealingly into a congruently formed undercut 13 of the lid 5 and forms with this a preassembled unit.
  • the dynamic seal 6 comprises the dynamically stressed sealing lip 7, which has two sealing edges 14, 15, wherein the second sealing edge 15 shuts off the flow of air through the ventilation openings 19 during retraction into the end position.
  • the second sealing edge 15 When applied to the damping pin 9 sealing lip 7, the second sealing edge 15 is sealingly applied to the lid 5, wherein the second sealing edge 15 of the first sealing edge 14 is connected upstream in the direction of the pressurized cylinder tube 3.
  • Fig. 2 the piston 2 is shown, the end position damping has already used and the piston 2 at a significantly reduced speed in the direction of its in Fig. 3 moved shown end position.
  • Fig. 3 the piston 2 is shown in its end position on the damping buffer 1 fitting.
  • Fig. 4 a deviating embodiment is shown, in which the sealing lip 7 is bulged axially in the direction of the piston 2.
