Description

  The present invention relates to a fluid pressure cylinder and a cylinder body.

  In the fluid pressure cylinder, for example, a piston is linearly moved based on the supply of fluid pressure, and the workpiece transfer table is linearly moved along with the movement of the piston. Some of these fluid pressure cylinders include a buffer mechanism that gently reduces the moving speed of the table at the end of the moving stroke of the table in order to prevent damage to the workpiece due to a sudden stop of the table ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

  In the linear actuator of Patent Document 1, two cylinder holes extending in the axial direction (axial direction) are formed in parallel inside the base (cylinder body), and a piston is accommodated in each cylinder hole. . Two packings are attached to the outer peripheral surface of one piston, and one packing is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the other piston. Further, the head side end of each cylinder hole is closed by the head cover, and the rod side end is closed by attaching the rod cover. Furthermore, a piston rod is connected to each piston, and each piston rod is supported by a base so as to be able to protrude and retract through a rod cover. Each cylinder hole is partitioned into a head side pressure chamber and a rod side pressure chamber by a piston. The head-side pressure chambers and the rod-side pressure chambers communicate with each other through communication holes formed in the base.

  The base is provided with one port for separately supplying compressed air to one head side pressure chamber and one rod side pressure chamber. Further, an air cushion mechanism (buffer mechanism) is provided at a position adjacent to each port and closer to the head cover side or rod cover side than each port. Each air cushion mechanism restricts the flow rate of exhaust discharged from one head-side pressure chamber and one rod-side pressure chamber, and the exhaust port opening to one head-side pressure chamber and one rod-side pressure chamber, respectively. And a diaphragm means.

  For example, when compressed air is supplied from the port on the rod side to one rod side pressure chamber, each piston moves toward the head side. At this time, the compressed air in one head side pressure chamber is discharged through the head side port and the exhaust port, but one piston approaches the stroke end, and the packing on the front side in the moving direction of the two packings. When the head passes over the head-side port, the port and one of the head-side pressure chambers are blocked, and the compressed air in the head-side pressure chamber is exhausted only from the exhaust port. For this reason, the pressure in the head side pressure chamber rises, and this rise in pressure becomes a piston back pressure, decelerating each piston and reaching the stroke end.

The first to fourth speed controllers 51, 52, 53, 54 are externally attached to the cylinder body 12. Hereinafter, the configuration of the first speed controller 51 will be described.

  The first speed controller 51 includes a first throttle channel 51a connected to the first supply / exhaust hole 12a, and the first throttle channel 51a is connected to an air supply source (not shown). . Further, the first speed controller 51 has a first throttle valve 51b as a throttle section that throttles the flow rate of the air flowing through the first throttle channel 51a. The first speed controller 51 has a first branch channel 51c that branches from the first throttle channel 51a and bypasses the first throttle valve 51b, and a first check valve is provided in the first branch channel 51c. 51d is provided. The first check valve 51d allows air to flow from the supply source to the first supply / discharge hole 12a via the first branch flow path 51c, and from the first supply / discharge hole 12a to the first branch flow path 51c. The flow of the air to the outside through is blocked.

Since the flow paths 52c, 53c, 54c and the second to fourth check valves 52d, 53d, 54d have the same configuration as each of the first speed controller 51, description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the throttle amounts of the first and second throttle channels 51a and 52a are adjusted by the first and second throttle valves 51b and 52b, and the flow rate of the air flowing through the first throttle channel 51a is the second throttle valve. The flow rate of the air flowing through the flow path 52a is greater. In addition, the throttle amounts of the third and fourth throttle channels 53a and 54a are adjusted by the third and fourth throttle valves 53b and 54b, and the flow rate of the air flowing through the third throttle channel 53a becomes the fourth throttle channel 54a. The flow rate of air flowing through the air is increased. The movement speeds of the pistons 27 and 28 are adjusted by adjusting the throttle amounts of the throttle channels 51a, 52a, 53a and 54a by the throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b and 54b. Yes.

Next, the operation of the air cylinder 11 configured as described above will be described.
In a state where the piston rods 29 and 30 protrude from the cylinder body 12, first, the third supply / discharge hole 12c is supplied from the supply source via the third branch flow path 53c and the third throttle flow path 53a of the third speed controller 53. From this, air is supplied to the second pressure working chamber 25b. In addition, air is supplied from the supply source to the fourth pressure working chamber 26b from the fourth supply / discharge hole 12d through the fourth branch flow path 54c and the fourth throttle flow path 54a of the fourth speed controller 54. Then, the pistons 27 and 28 are pressed by the air supplied to the second pressure working chamber 25b and the fourth pressure working chamber 26b and moved toward the head covers 15 and 16, and the piston rods 29 and 30 are moved to the cylinder body 12. Move in the direction of immersion.

  When the pistons 27 and 28 pass through the rod side communication passage 42, the first pressure action chamber 25 a and the third pressure action chamber 26 a are in communication with each other through the head side communication passage 41. At this time, the air in the first pressure working chamber 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a is discharged from the first supply / discharge hole 12a to the first throttle channel 51a and to the outside through the first throttle valve 51b. A flow that is discharged from the second supply / discharge hole 12b to the second throttle channel 52a and discharged to the outside via the second throttle valve 52b is generated simultaneously. Therefore, the pressure in the first pressure working chamber 25a and the pressure in the third pressure working chamber 26a are the same, and the pressure in the first pressure working chamber 25a and the pressure in the third pressure working chamber 26a are the same. Is determined by the throttle amount of the first throttle channel 51a by the first throttle valve 51b.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the pistons 27 and 28 move to positions where the second seal members 34 and 35 of the pistons 27 and 28 overlap with the head side communication passage 41. Then, the sealing performance between the first pressure working chamber 25a and the second pressure working chamber 25b and between the third pressure working chamber 26a and the fourth pressure working chamber 26b by the second seal members 34 and 35 is lost. However, the first seal members 32 and 33 ensure sealing performance between the first pressure working chamber 25a and the second pressure working chamber 25b and between the third pressure working chamber 26a and the fourth pressure working chamber 26b. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the second seal members 34, 35 of the pistons 27, 28 pass through the head side communication passage 41, the first pressure action chamber 25 a and the head side communication passage 41 are moved by the second seal member 34. Between the third pressure action chamber 26a and the head side communication passage 41 is sealed by the second seal member 35. Thereby, the communication between the first pressure working chamber 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a via the head side communication passage 41 is blocked.

  At this time, the second throttle channel 52a is narrower than the first throttle channel 51a. Therefore, the pressure in the third pressure action chamber 26a becomes higher than the pressure before the communication between the first pressure action chamber 25a and the third pressure action chamber 26a via the head side communication passage 41 is blocked. That is, the pressure in the third pressure working chamber 26a is higher than the pressure in the first pressure working chamber 25a. Due to the pressure change in the third pressure working chamber 26a, the moving speed of the pistons 27 and 28 toward the head covers 15 and 16 is reduced.

  Then, the air in the first pressure working chamber 25a is discharged from the first supply / discharge hole 12a to the first throttle channel 51a and is discharged to the outside through the first throttle valve 51b, and the third pressure working chamber 26a. The inside air is discharged from the second supply / discharge hole 12b to the second throttle passage 52a and is discharged to the outside through the second throttle valve 52b. Then, the pistons 27 and 28 further move toward the head covers 15 and 16, and the pressure in the first pressure working chamber 25 a gradually increases, and the pressure in the third pressure working chamber 26 a also gradually increases. It will become. As a result, the moving speed of the pistons 27 and 28 toward the head covers 15 and 16 is gradually reduced. When the pistons 27 and 28 are moved until the end surfaces of the pistons 27 and 28 on the head cover 15 and 16 side come into contact with the end surfaces of the head covers 15 and 16, the movement of the pistons 27 and 28 toward the head covers 15 and 16 is performed. Stopped.

  In the present embodiment, when the second seal members 34, 35 of the pistons 27, 28 pass through the head side communication passage 41, the end surfaces of the pistons 27, 28 on the head cover 15, 16 side to the end surfaces of the head covers 15, 16. Is a desired cushion stroke length required for decelerating the moving speed of the pistons 27 and 28. The cushion stroke length is determined by the position where the head side communication passage 41 is formed.

  In the above description, the case where the air is supplied from the third supply / exhaust hole 12c and the fourth supply / exhaust hole 12d to move both pistons 27 and 28 in the immersion direction has been described. Since the description about the case where air is supplied from the second supply / discharge hole 12b and the both pistons 27 and 28 are moved in the protruding direction is also generally the same as the above description, the description is omitted. Further, when the pistons 27 and 28 are moved in the protruding direction, the rod covers 17 and 28 in the pistons 27 and 28 when the first seal members 32 and 33 of the pistons 27 and 28 pass through the rod-side communication passage 42. The distance from the end face on the 18th side to the end faces of the rod covers 17 and 18 is a desired cushion stroke length required to reduce the moving speed of the pistons 27 and 28. The cushion stroke length is determined by the position where the rod side communication passage 42 is formed.

In the above embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) A head-side communication passage 41 and a rod-side communication passage 42 for communicating adjacent cylinder chambers 25 and 26 are formed at positions in the cylinder body 12 in the middle of the strokes of both pistons 27 and 28. Further, the first to fourth supply / discharge holes 12a, 12b, 12c, and 12d are provided with first to fourth throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, and 54b that are independently throttled so that the flow rate of the discharged air is different. It has been. The first pressure working chamber is caused by the passage of the first seal members 32 and 33 through the head side communication passage 41 or the passage of the second seal members 34 and 35 through the rod side communication passage 42 as the pistons 27 and 28 move. The communication between 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a, or the communication between the second pressure working chamber 25b and the fourth pressure working chamber 26b is blocked. At this time, since the throttle amounts of the throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, and 54b are different from each other, between the first pressure working chamber 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a or the second pressure working chamber 25b. A pressure difference is generated between the fourth pressure working chamber 26b, and the moving speed of the pistons 27 and 28 is reduced by this pressure difference. Therefore, as in the background art, the cylinder body 12 is not enlarged in the axial direction, and the head side communication passage 41 and the rod side communication passage 42 are formed in the cylinder body 12, and the supply / discharge holes 12a, 12b, By providing the throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, 54b at 12c, 12d, the moving speed of both pistons 27, 28 when both pistons 27, 28 move to near the stroke end can be reduced.

  (2) Two cylinder chambers 25 and 26 are formed in the cylinder body 12, a head side communication passage 41 is formed on the head covers 15 and 16 side, and a rod side communication passage 42 is formed on the rod covers 17 and 18 side. Has been. The head side communication passage 41 is formed at a position where the cushion stroke length in the direction in which the piston rods 29 and 30 are immersed in the cylinder body 12 becomes a desired cushion stroke length. Further, the rod side communication passage 42 is formed at a position where the cushion stroke length in the direction in which the piston rods 29 and 30 protrude from the cylinder body 12 becomes a desired cushion stroke length. For example, when only one communication passage is formed at the middle position of the stroke length of each piston 27, 28, the cushion stroke length becomes longer than the desired cushion stroke length, and the movement time of both pistons 27, 28 is long. It may become. However, in the present embodiment, the head side communication passage 41 and the rod side communication passage 42 are formed so that the cushion stroke lengths in the immersion direction and the protruding direction of the piston rods 29 and 30 are the desired cushion stroke lengths. Therefore, there is no loss in the movement time of both pistons 27 and 28, and both pistons 27 and 28 can be moved efficiently.

  (3) A head-side communication passage 41 and a rod-side communication passage 42 for communicating the cylinder chambers 25 and 26 with each other are formed at positions in the middle of the strokes of the pistons 27 and 28 in the cylinder body 12. In the cylinder body 12 having this configuration, the first to fourth throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, 54b are provided in the first to fourth supply / discharge holes 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, so that the pistons 27, 28 are provided. It is possible to decelerate the moving speeds of the pistons 27 and 28 when is moved to near the stroke end.

  (4) The first to fourth speed controllers 51, 52, 53, 54 include the first to fourth branch flow paths 51c, 52c, 53c that bypass the first to fourth throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, 54b. , 54c, and first to fourth check valves 51d, 52d, 53d, 54d are provided in the middle of the first to fourth branch flow paths 51c, 52c, 53c, 54c. Therefore, when supplying air from the supply source to the first to fourth pressure working chambers 25a, 25b, 26a, and 26b, the first to fourth check valves 51d, 52d, 53d, and 54d are the first to fourth. In order to allow the air flow to the supply / discharge holes 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, the first to fourth throttle valves 51b, 52b, 53b, 54b do not restrict the air flow, so Air can be supplied to the fourth pressure working chambers 25a, 25b, 26a, and 26b.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, a bypass passage 61 that branches off from the second throttle passage 52 a and bypasses the second throttle valve 52 b and the second branch passage 52 c is provided, and the bypass passage 61 is turned on / off. An off valve 62 is provided. The on / off valve 62 can be switched on / off by an external control signal. Specifically, when the on / off valve 62 is turned on, the air flow in the bypass passage 61 is allowed, and when the on / off valve 62 is turned off, the air flow in the bypass passage 61 is blocked. It has become so. According to this, when it is desired to move the pistons 27 and 28 in a short time, the air discharged from the second supply / discharge hole 12b is directed toward the bypass passage 61 by turning on the on / off valve 62. Therefore, the second throttle valve 52b does not restrict the air flow. Therefore, even if each piston 27, 28 moves to near the stroke end, the moving speed of each piston 27, 28 is not decelerated, and each piston 27, 28 can be moved quickly. The bypass passage 61 may be provided so as to bypass the first, third, and fourth throttle valves 51b, 53b, 54b, and the first, third, and fourth branch flow paths 51c, 53c, 54c, respectively. .

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the first and second throttle passages 51a and 52a are arranged closer to the first and second supply / discharge holes 12a and 12b than the first and second throttle valves 51b and 52b. A supply throttle valve 71 is provided as a supply throttle section that throttles the flow rate of the air flowing through the second check valves 51d and 52d. In addition, a discharge passage 72 is provided so as to bypass the supply throttle valve 71. The discharge passage 72 blocks the flow of air supplied from the supply source, and the first and second supply / discharge holes. There is provided a check valve 73 that allows the flow of air to flow outward from 12a, 12b. When air is supplied from the supply source to the first pressure working chamber 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a, the air is supplied to the first pressure working chamber 25a and the third pressure working chamber 26a via the supply throttle valve 71. Is supplied. According to this, the start of movement of the pistons 27 and 28 can be moderated, and the speed at which the pistons 27 and 28 start to move can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the throttle amount of the supply throttle valve 71. Can do.
