- a ring-shaped packing 35b is attached to an outer circumferential part of the closing part 35c. When the closing part 35c is pushed into the large-diameter part 65a, the packing 35b comes into close contact with the large-diameter part 65a and thereby seals the communication path 34.
- a biasing member 35f is attached to the end side of the closing part 35c of the communication switching pin 35a.

- the switching valve 102 when the switching valve 102 is in the first position, the first port 102a is connected to the fourth port 102d, and the second port 102b is connected to the third port 102c.
- the switching valve 102 when the switching valve 102 is in the second position, the first port 102a is connected to the fifth port 102e, and the second port 102b is connected to the fourth port 102d.
- the switching valve 102 is switched between the first position and the second position by pilot pressure from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 or by a solenoid valve.
- the fourth check valve 86 allows air to flow from the head-side port 28 to the end-side port 30 and blocks air flowing from the end-side port 30 toward the head-side port 28.
- the throttle valve 88 which is an adjustable throttle valve of which path area can be changed to adjust the exhaust flow rate, limits the amount of air discharged from the first pressure chamber 38 through the exhaust port 106.
- An air tank may be disposed at a position along a pipe connecting the fourth check valve 86 and the fourth pressure chamber 44 to thereby accumulate air supplied from the head-side port 28 to the end-side port 30 during the return process.
- the air tank can accumulate air sufficient to fill the fourth pressure chamber 44 during the return operation, resulting in a stable return operation.
- the volume of the air tank may be set to, for example, about half the maximum volume of the first pressure chamber 38. The air tank is unnecessary in a case where the pipes have sufficient volume.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10 and the drive device 120 are configured as above. Next, the effects and operations thereof will be described.
- the second pressure chamber 40 and the third pressure chamber 42 are filled with high-pressure air.
- the high-pressure air refers to air at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10 is set in the start-of-stroke position as illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- the switching valve 102 of the drive device 120 is in the second position (see FIG. 4B ).
- the high-pressure-air supply source 104 is thus connected to the adjustment port 32.
- high-pressure air is introduced from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 into the second pressure chamber 40 via the second check valve 54.
- the high-pressure air introduced into the second pressure chamber 40 is also introduced into the third pressure chamber 42 via the communication path 34.

- the startup process may be performed only once before the first stroke of the fluid pressure cylinder 10.
- the switching valve 102 of the drive device 120 is set in the first position as illustrated in FIG. 4A .
- High-pressure air is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 to the head-side port 28 via the first port 102a of the switching valve 102.
- High-pressure air does not flow toward the fourth check valve 86 since the fourth check valve 86 is connected to the fifth port 102e.
- the fourth pressure chamber 44 is connected to the exhaust port 106 via the third check valve 56, the adjustment port 32, and the second port 102b.
- high-pressure air from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 flows into the first pressure chamber 38 as indicated by an arrow B.
- Force exerted on the working piston by the high-pressure air in the second pressure chamber 40 and force exerted on the booster piston 22 by the high-pressure air that fills the third pressure chamber 42 are equal in magnitude and balanced in the opposite direction.
- the forces do not contribute to thrust force.
- thrust force corresponding to a difference between the pressure in the first pressure chamber 38 adjoining the working piston 20 and the pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 adjoining the booster piston 22 acts on the piston rod 18, and the piston rod 18 moves toward the end side.
- high-pressure air of an amount equal to the volume of the first pressure chamber 38 is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 (see FIG. 4A ) to the fluid pressure cylinder 10.
- the high-pressure air inside the second pressure chamber 40 moves to the third pressure chamber 42 via the communication path 34.
- the pressure of the high-pressure air stored in the second pressure chamber 40 and the pressure of the high-pressure air stored in the third pressure chamber 42 are kept constant.
- air in the fourth pressure chamber 44 is discharged from the fourth pressure chamber 44 as the booster piston 22 moves.
- the air in the fourth pressure chamber 44 passes through the adjustment port 32 via the third check valve 56 and the auxiliary path 76, and is discharged from the exhaust port 106 through the second port 102b of the switching valve 102 as illustrated in FIG. 4A .
- the closing part 35c of the communication switching pin 35a is inserted into the large-diameter part 65a of the through-hole 65.
- the packing 35b on the closing part 35c seals the gap between the large-diameter part 65a and the closing part 35c, thereby blocking the communication path 34. That is, the communication switching valve 35 blocks the communication of air between the second pressure chamber 40 and the third pressure chamber 42 via the communication path 34.
- the packing 37d that has sealed the gap between the detection pin 37a and the detection-pin accommodating hole 67 moves to the recessed opening part 71a.
- This movement opens the exhaust path 36, and the adjustment port 32 and the second pressure chamber 40 communicate with each other via the exhaust path 36.
- the high-pressure air stored in the second pressure chamber 40 is discharged from the exhaust port 106 via the first check valve 52 and the adjustment port 32.
- the internal pressure in the second pressure chamber 40 drops, and thrust force corresponding to a difference between the internal pressure in the second pressure chamber 40 and the internal pressure in the first pressure chamber 38 acts on the working piston 20.
- thrust force corresponding to a difference between the pressure of the high-pressure air stored in the third pressure chamber 42 and the pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 acts on the booster piston 22.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10 can increase the thrust force near the stroke end.
- the thrust force is increased by the discharge of the high-pressure air in the second pressure chamber 40 while the communication switching valve 35 and the exhaust switching valve 37 are being actuated.
- the switching valve 102 of the drive device 120 is set in the second position as illustrated in FIG. 4B .
- High-pressure air is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 to the adjustment port 32 via the second port 102b of the switching valve 102.
- the first port 102a of the switching valve 102 is connected to the fifth port 102e, and thereby the head-side port 28 is connected to the end-side port 30 via the fourth check valve 86.
- the head-side port 28 is also connected to the exhaust port 106 via the throttle valve 88.
- part of the air stored in the first pressure chamber 38 is supplied to the fourth pressure chamber 44 via the route with the fourth check valve 86.
- the remaining part of the air stored in the first pressure chamber 38 is discharged from the exhaust port 106.
- high-pressure air from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 is supplied to the adjustment port 32 of the fluid pressure cylinder 10 as indicated by an arrow B.
- the high-pressure air supplied to the adjustment port 32 flows into the second pressure chamber 40 through the supplementary channel 78 and the second check valve 54.
- the volume of the high-pressure air supplied to the second pressure chamber 40 is equal to the volume of the high-pressure air discharged from the second pressure chamber 40 during the boosting process. That is, high-pressure air required for the boosting process is supplemented during the return process.
- the amount of high-pressure air supplied at this moment is small compared with the volume of the high-pressure air required for movement of the working piston 20, and thus only a small addition of high-pressure air is required.
- part of the high-pressure air discharged from the first pressure chamber 38 flows into the fourth pressure chamber 44 as indicated by an arrow A.
- the difference between the pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 and the pressure in the first pressure chamber 38 increases, and the working piston 20, the booster piston 22, and the piston rod 18 start moving toward the head side.
- the communication switching valve 35 returns to its original position, and the second pressure chamber 40 and the third pressure chamber 42 communicate with each other through the communication path 34.
- the exhaust switching valve 37 seals the exhaust path 36 and blocks the communication between the adjustment port 32 and the second pressure chamber 40.

- the exhaust path 36 may be provided with the first check valve 52 allowing air to flow only in a direction from the second pressure chamber 40 toward the adjustment port 32 and blocking air flowing in the opposite direction. This prevents malfunctions of the exhaust switching valve 37 during the return process.

- the supplementary channel 78 may be provided with the second check valve 54 allowing air to flow only in a direction from the adjustment port 32 toward the second pressure chamber 40 and blocking air flowing in the opposite direction.

- the fluid pressure cylinder 10 may further include the auxiliary path 76 communicating with the fourth pressure chamber 44 and the adjustment port 32. This enables the air in the fourth pressure chamber 44 to be discharged through the adjustment port 32 during the working process and the boosting process.
- the auxiliary path 76 may be provided with the third check valve 56 allowing air to flow only in a direction from the fourth pressure chamber 44 toward the adjustment port 32 and blocking air flowing in the opposite direction.

This causes the closing part 35c and a packing 35b on an outer circumferential part of the closing part 35c to be inserted into the through-hole 122 to thereby close the through-hole 122. As a result, the communication between the third pressure chamber 42 and the fourth pressure chamber 44 is blocked.

- the switching valve 102 when the switching valve 102 is in the second position, the first port 102a is connected to the fifth port 102e, and the second port 102b is connected to the fourth port 102d.
- the switching valve 102 is switched between the first position and the second position by pilot pressure from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 or by a solenoid valve.
- the fourth check valve 86 allows air to flow from the head-side port 28A toward the end-side port 30A and blocks air flowing from the end-side port 30A toward the head-side port 28A.
- the fifth check valve 108 blocks high-pressure air flowing from the second port 102b toward the end-side port 30A.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10A according to this embodiment and the drive device 120A are configured as above. Next, the effects and operations thereof will be described.
- the switching valve 102 of the drive device 120A is set in the first position as illustrated in FIG. 11A .
- High-pressure air is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 to the head-side port 28A via the first port 102a of the switching valve 102.
- High-pressure air does not flow toward the fourth check valve 86 since the fourth check valve 86 is connected to the fifth port 102e.
- the second pressure chamber 40 is connected to the exhaust port 106 via the end-side port 30A and the fifth check valve 108.
- the adjustment port 32A is also connected to the exhaust port 106.
- high-pressure air of an amount equal to the volume of the first pressure chamber 38 is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 (see FIG. 11A ) to the fluid pressure cylinder 10A.
- the pressure of the high-pressure air stored in the third pressure chamber 42 and the pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 are kept constant.
- air in the second pressure chamber 40 is discharged from the second pressure chamber 40 as the working piston 20 moves. In this case, the air in the second pressure chamber 40 is discharged from the exhaust port 106 through the end-side port 30A and the fifth check valve 108 as illustrated in FIG. 11A .
- the communication switching pin 35a of the communication switching valve 35A is pushed toward the head side, while the detection pin 37a of the exhaust switching valve 37A is pushed toward the end side.
- the closing part 35c of the communication switching pin 35a is inserted into the through-hole 122 and closes the through-hole 122. This blocks the communication of high-pressure air between the third pressure chamber 42 and the fourth pressure chamber 44.
- the packings 141 and 142 that have sealed the gap between the detection pin 37a and the through-hole 139 are separated from the channel 143, whereby the adjustment port 32A communicates with the fourth pressure chamber 44.
- the high-pressure air stored in the fourth pressure chamber 44 is discharged from the exhaust port 106. That is, the internal pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 drops while the high-pressure air is kept in the third pressure chamber 42.
- thrust force corresponding to a difference between the internal pressure in the fourth pressure chamber 44 and the internal pressure in the third pressure chamber 42 acts on the booster piston 22A.
- the thrust force in the fluid pressure cylinder 10A increases near the stroke end. In this manner, in the fluid pressure cylinder 10A, the thrust force is increased by the discharge of the high-pressure air in the fourth pressure chamber 44 while the communication switching valve 35A and the exhaust switching valve 37A are being actuated.
- the switching valve 102 of the drive device 120A is set in the second position as illustrated in FIG. 11B .
- High-pressure air is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 to the adjustment port 32A via the second port 102b of the switching valve 102.
- the first port 102a of the switching valve 102 is connected to the fifth port 102e, and thereby the head-side port 28A is connected to the end-side port 30A via the fourth check valve 86.
- the head-side port 28A is also connected to the exhaust port 106 via the throttle valve 88.
- part of the air stored in the first pressure chamber 38 is supplied to the second pressure chamber 40 via the route with the fourth check valve 86.
- the remaining part of the air stored in the first pressure chamber 38 is discharged from the exhaust port 106.
- high-pressure air is supplied from the high-pressure-air supply source 104 to the adjustment port 32A of the fluid pressure cylinder 10A.
- the high-pressure air supplied to the adjustment port 32A flows into the fourth pressure chamber 44.
- high-pressure air discharged during the boosting process is supplemented.
- the amount of high-pressure air supplemented at this moment is small compared with the volume of the high-pressure air required for the stroke movement of the working piston, only a small addition of high-pressure air is required.
- part of the high-pressure air discharged from the first pressure chamber 38 flows into the second pressure chamber 40.
- the air inside the first pressure chamber 38 continues to be discharged, a difference between the pressure in the second pressure chamber 40 and the pressure in the first pressure chamber 38 increases, and the working piston 20 starts moving toward the head side. Subsequently, the working piston 20 and the booster piston 22A return to the start-of-stroke position, and the return process is completed.
- the second pressure chamber 40 does not need to be supplied with high-pressure air since air required for the working piston 20 to return to the start-of-stroke position is supplied from the first pressure chamber 38.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10A according to this embodiment produces the following advantageous effects.
- a boost switching mechanism 33A includes the communication switching valve 35A provided in the booster piston 22A and the exhaust switching valve 37A provided in the rod cover 48A.
- the fluid pressure cylinder 10A can increase the thrust force at the stroke end without any complicated locking mechanisms. Moreover, since a mechanical locking mechanism for connecting the piston and the piston rod is not required, nonconformity is less likely to occur due to an axial impact, resulting in excellent reliability.
- the diameter of the booster piston 22A can be made larger than the diameter of the working piston 20. Due to the booster piston 22A with an increased diameter, it is possible to reduce the diameter of the working piston 20 while maintaining the thrust force at the stroke end, and thus it is possible to further reduce the consumption of high-pressure air.
- the drive devices 120 and 120A of the fluid pressure cylinders 10 and 10A are disposed outside the fluid pressure cylinders 10 and 10A.
- the present invention is not limited in particular to this. Part or all of the members constituting the drive devices 120 and 120A may be included inside the cylinder body 12.
