Definitions

  • Telescopic actuators for example hydraulic jacks comprising a body in which a rod is slidably mounted along a sliding axis, and comprising a locking member for automatically locking the rod on the body when the rod arrives in one. extreme positions.
  • locking members including claw, segment, or even finger locks.
  • the finger is movably mounted on the body along a locking axis perpendicular to the sliding axis between a locking position towards which it is pushed back by a spring to enter a groove in the rod, and a position retracted in which it is pushed against the spring by the pressurized fluid admitted into the chamber of the cylinder into which the finger opens.
  • a sleeve is movably mounted on the body along the sliding axis between a retracted position in which it is pushed by the rod when the latter approaches the locking position, and a position of retaining the finger in the retracted position in which the sleeve is pushed by a spring to be placed under the finger which has been retracted by the pressurized fluid.
  • the documents US 4,887,944 A , EP 2300319 B1 and CN 275 8546 Y disclose actuators with a movable locking finger in a locking direction perpendicular to the sliding axis of the piston rod.
  • the invention aims to provide a linear actuator with finger locking, the indication member of which makes it possible to detect a non-locking even if the finger appears to be in the locked position.
  • a telescopic actuator comprising a body in which a rod is slidably mounted along a sliding axis, the actuator comprising a locking member comprising a locking finger movable in a locking direction. perpendicular to the sliding axis between a locking position in which one end of the locking finger engages in a groove in the rod to lock the rod in position, and a retracted position in which the end of the finger is disengaged from the groove to release the rod, a locking indicator being mounted integral with the locking finger to be movable between a locking indicator position when the locking finger is in the locking position and an unlocking indicator position when the locking finger is in position retracted.
  • the locking indicator is secured to the locking finger by a connection capable of being broken when the end of the finger is severed when the rod is locked, a thrust spring being placed in the finger. lock to push the lock indicator to the unlock indicator position when said link is broken.
  • the locking indicator delivers reliable information even if the finger is broken, by appearing in the unlocking indicator position even though the end of the finger has been severed and the locking finger remains in the locking position.
  • the indicator is associated with a fragile support which extends in a bore of the locking finger to be linked to the end of the latter.
  • the severing of the end causes the breakage of the fragile support, and therefore the separation of the locking indicator, which can therefore be moved by the thrust spring.
  • a telescopic actuator in this case here a hydraulic cylinder 1 comprising a hollow body 2 in which a rod 3 associated with a piston 4 is mounted to slide tightly in the body 1 along a sliding axis X to define a solid chamber 5 extending between the piston 4 and a solid bottom of the body (not visible here), and an annular chamber 6 extending between the piston 4 and a drilled bottom 7 through which the rod 3 protrudes.
  • the piston 4 has a groove 8 for receiving the end 9 of a locking finger 10 mounted to slide sealingly along a locking axis Y perpendicular to the sliding axis X in a housing 11 of the body 1 between a locking position illustrated at figure 1 in which the end 9 is engaged in the groove 8 to block the rod 3 in the extended position, and a retracted position illustrated in figures 2 and 3 in which the end 9 is released from the groove 8, thus freeing the rod 3.
  • the locking finger 10 is returned to the locking position by a locking spring 12 resting on a plug 13 closing the housing 11.
  • the locking finger 10 is pushed into the retracted position when pressurized fluid is admitted into the annular chamber 6.
  • a sleeve 14 is disposed in the body 1 to slide along the sliding axis X between a retracted position towards which it is pushed by the piston 4 against a return spring 15 when the rod 3 is in the locked position, as illustrated in figure 1 , and a locking position shown in figure 3 in which the sleeve 14 is pushed by the return spring 15 while the locking finger 10 is in the retracted position to hold it there and block it in this position even though the annular chamber 6 is no longer under pressure.
  • the locking finger 10 is associated with a locking indicator 20 which, as visible on the figure 1 protrudes from the plug 13 to be visible from the outside.
  • the locking indicator 20 is integral with a rod 26 engaged in a central bore 21 of the locking finger 10.
  • the rod 26 is extended by a fragile support 22 of reduced section which ends in a foot 23 which is secured to the locking finger 10 at the level of the end 9 thereof by a ring 24.
  • a thrust spring 25 extends around the rod 26 in a housing 27 of the locking finger 10, resting on a bottom of the housing 27 and a shoulder of the indicator 10 to push the indicator 20 outwards. In the situation illustrated here, the ring 24 retains the locking indicator 20 against the thrust spring 25.
  • the rod 3 can move in the body 2, which has the effect of allowing the sleeve 14 to move towards the locking position under the action of the return spring 15 to keep the locking finger 10 in position. retracted, as shown in figure 3 .
  • the locking indicator 20 is thus maintained in the unlocking indicator position.
  • the rod 3 returns to the extended position, until the sleeve 14 is pushed against the spring 15 and thus allow the end 9 of the locking finger 10 to enter the groove 8 under the action of the locking spring 12 to lock the rod 3.
  • the locking indicator 20 returns to the locking indicator position.
  • the load coupled to the rod can exert a significant force on the rod 3 while rod 3 is in the locked position.
  • the force is so great that it causes the locking finger 10 to break by severing its end 9. The rod 3 is thus released, while the locking finger 10 remains in the locked position, as illustrated in the figure 4 .
  • the locking indicator 20 is used to actuate a return 30 carrying a target 31 which moves opposite a detector 32 between a position close to the detector 32, as illustrated in FIG. figure 6 , which corresponds to the locking indicator position, and a position remote from the detector 32, as illustrated in figures 7 to 9 , which corresponds to the unlocking indicator position, so that the detector 32 generates an electrical signal taking two distinct values, which makes it possible to distinguish the two indicator positions.
  • the return 30 is articulated on a pivot 33 integral with the stopper 13 and extending into an oblong opening 34 of the return 30.
  • the return 30 is moreover articulated on a collar 35 directly tightened on the outer end of the locking indicator. 20.
  • the movement of the locking indicator 20 causes the pivoting of the return 30, and hence the movement of the target 31 between its two positions near and far from the detector 32.
