Definitions
- This invention relates to a hydraulic cylinder and more particular to a hydraulic cylinder having an intrascopic arrangement of a co-axial cylindrical hollow rod within it acting as a piston-rod thereby enabling it to produce a multitude of variations in forces, speeds, pressures and flows for its application in areas beyond the scope of conventional hydraulic cylinders.
- 0002 Hydraulic cylinders are used extensively in a variety of industrial applications to provide linear motion control. These cylinders are composed of a cylindrically shaped metal case with a piston-rod assembly that moves back and forth within the case. The piston and rod assembly divides the volume inside the cylinder case to two separate chambers, for example front chamber and rear chamber. For a single rod cylinder, these two volumes are called: the rod end volume (front chamber), where the rod end is the end of the cylinder from which the rod protrudes, and the cap end volume (rear chamber), where the cap end does not have a rod.
- the conventional double acting hydraulic cylinders which have a rear chamber and a front chamber essentially function by extending and retracting the piston-rod assembly within the internal surface of cylinder case.
- the speed with which piston-rod assembly extends is larger than when it retracts. This means that it moves in either direction at different speeds.
- the reason for this difference can be understood by considering the fact that when the pump pushes certain amount of fluid, it goes through the valve either to the rear end or to the front end. As it is, there is much more fluid required in the rear chamber to push the piston to extend than there is fluid required in the front chamber to push it for retraction.
- a dominant pressure is introduced to the rear of the cylinder the rod extends slowly and when a similar pressure is applied to the front of the cylinder then it would retract much more quickly.
- RO/AU input may not work where greater force is required.
- greater force it is required to replace the smaller cylinder by a relatively larger cylinder.
- the larger cylinder will be slower to extend and retract. Therefore, there is a felt need for an efficient and compact hydraulic cylinder that can work over a broad range of required force.
- the intrascopic cylinder of this invention can work quickly as a small cylinder does but has the added ability to produce enormous force when needed. In most applications a hydraulic cylinder will only use a small amount of its potential strength but it needs to be large enough to produce occasional peak loads. This invention allows for a cylinder to be smaller, lighter, and faster but still have the ability to produce great force when needed.
- the intrascopic hydraulic cylinder of this invention can be used for variety of applications where conventional hydraulic cylinders are used and beyond where standard hydraulic cylinders are found inadequate.
- the major uses of the invention are intensification, variable speed, variable loads, variable forces and greater forces than are possible with the same size conventional hydraulic cylinder.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of the intrascopic hydraulic cylinder of this invention in one embodiment.
- Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the intrascopic hydraulic cylinder of this invention in second embodiment.
- Figure 3 shows the test results of a hydraulic cylinder prototype of this invention.
- Figure 4 shows the graphical representation of the test results shown in Figure 3.
- Reference Numerals in the drawings are referred to in Figure 3.
- the intrascopic cylinder of this invention has been conceived as a combination of two hydraulic cylinders integrated into one whose outer casing or envelope is virtually similar to a standard cylinder.
- an inverted smaller hydraulic cylinder inside the outer cylinder acts like a piston-rod assembly of a conventional hydraulic cylinder.
- This contraption allows one to have more than two chambers (front and rear chambers) as in conventional hydraulic cylinder with attendant more number of hydraulic ports.
- This contraption when pressure is applied to one of the chambers, its internal rod would extend into the opposite chamber displacing its mass and dramatically increasing the pressure inside it.
- This displacement is effectively an internal pump which can be activated multiple times within a given stroke of the modified rod (i.e. inverted smaller cylinder inside the outer cylinder).
- Figure 1 shows one possible embodiment of this invention where smaller cylinder termed as‘Cylinder Hollow Rod’, 1 acts like a rod of conventional hydraulic cylinder inside the outer cylinder 10 and base 5 which is more or less like an outer casing of a conventional hydraulic cylinder.
- This contraption and the conventional hydraulic cylinder being that the embodiment of Figure 1 now has multiple ports for
- RO/AU fluid 1 1 , 12 and 13 corresponding to four chambers, 6 & 7, 8 and 9.
- the rod end of the smaller inner cylinder, 1 is hollow and contains a piston, 2 a gland 3 and an internal rod 4.
- the outer cylinder, 10 is similar to conventional double acting cylinder. When pressure is applied to chamber 7, the internal rod 4 extends into the chamber 6, displacing its mass and dramatically increases the pressure in Chamber 6. This displacement is effectively an internal pump which can be activated multiple times within a given stroke of rod 1.
- rod 4 By introducing pressure in to chamber 6 and then upon challenge, subsequently into chamber 7, rod 4 will displace the existing pressurized chamber 6 and increase the pressure in that chamber.
- the cylinder, 10 will produce more force transmitted through rod 1 than a conventional cylinder of the same bore size.
- rod 4 By introducing pressure to chamber 7 after chamber 6 has reached its maximum force potential at system pressure or pre-determined pressure, rod 4 will displace fluid in chamber 6 increasing the pressure in chamber 6 beyond what was previously introduced by the hydraulic supply or "system pressure". This enables the intrascopic cylinder to create forces previously not achievable within normal size envelopes and in a hydraulic system which cannot offer unlimited pressure.
- Figure 2 depicts another embodiment of this invention wherein the internal rod, 4 slides inside a hollow rod, 15.
- piston 2 forces rod 4 into chamber 6 and subsequently forces hollow rod, 15 into chamber 6 producing multiple speeds and forces.
- the intrascopic cylinder of this invention creates its own pressure higher than
- FIG. 1 In order to demonstrate the industrial applicability of this invention, a laboratory scale prototype cylinder was fabricated as per the design shown in Figure 1.
- the chambers 6 and 7 of the cylinder were equipped with appropriate pressure gauges to monitor the pressure inside these chambers when fluid was allowed to go inside through the port at chamber 6 at a given outside pressure.
- the pressures in chambers 6 and 7 were observed with respect to the supply pressure to chamber 6 as shown in Figure 3.
- Figure 4 shows a graphical representation of the observed pressure in chamber 6 due to intrascopic augmentation of pressure in this cylinder. It can be seen that with a relatively lower pressure of about 50 bar, it is possible to achieve a pressure as large as 135 bar.
