Title: Lightweight hydraulic cylinder
Inventor: LEE DAVID SCREATION
IPC: F16J10/02
Filed: 2019-07-09
Abstract: A hydraulic cylinder with a 3d printed jacket comprises a structurally loaded jacket 200, an unloaded diffusion barrier or sleeve 300, head assembly 400, end cap assembly 500, piston assembly 600, bolt assembly 700 and oilways. The jacket surrounds the diffusion barrier and is mounted between the head assembly and end cap assembly, secured by the bolt assembly. The piston assembly is translatably disposed within the diffusion barrier and through the end cap and comprising of multiple components assembled along a rod that extend and retract along a longitudinal axis. The oil pathways allow the movement of oil to increase and decrease oil pressure within chambers to cause the piston assembly to translate in a longitudinal fashion to the diffusion barrier based on the pressure differential between the entering and exiting oil. The use of 3D manufacturing processes allows the jacket to be designed such that it features optimized structures and void spaces to eliminate unstressed elements. In combination with a diffusion barrier, the jacket can be constructed from porous materials or in a structural manner that would not readily contain the fluid within the assembly or serve as a suitable bearing surface for the piston to pass across.
