- the safety of the blocking unit (100) can be further reinforced with appropriate dimensioning which can possibly exploit, as already mentioned above, the action of a same hydraulic fluid over various devices.
- the first elastic means (91) and the second elastic means (92) can respectively be incorporated in the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (1a, 1b) or in the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2), i.e. they can comprise first elastic means (91) or second elastic means (92), or, more preferably can be a separate device, as also illustrated in the appended figures.
- first elastic means (91) or second elastic means (92) or, more preferably can be a separate device, as also illustrated in the appended figures.
- flexibility in the positioning thereof increases with a consequent possibility of exploiting spaces to the maximum; further, plunger cylinders can be used.
- the presence of a first head (111) and a second head (131) facilitates the positioning of the first elastic means (91) or of the second elastic means (92) separated from the hydraulic cylinders.
- the blocking unit (100) comprises first other elastic means (95) which oppose the first further chamber (52) so as to oppose the extension of the first further chamber (52) up to a respective first pressure thereof, i.e. at rest or in the absence of pressurisation and/or comprises second other elastic means (96) which oppose the second further chamber (62) so as to oppose the extension of the second further chamber (62) up to a respective first pressure thereof, i.e. at rest or in the absence of pressurisation.
- the first other elastic means (95) and the second other elastic means (96) can be incorporated or not respectively in the first hydraulic safety cylinder (5) and in the second hydraulic safety cylinder (9).
- the first other elastic means (95) are preferably interposed between the first movable part (51) and the support (101), as illustrated by way of example in figure 6 . In this way the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (1a, 1b) must not overcome even the action of the first other elastic means (95).
- the second other elastic means (96) are preferably interposed between the second movable part (61) and the support (101), as illustrated by way of example in figure 7 . In this way the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2) must not overcome even the action of the second other elastic means (96).
- the blocking unit (100) preferably comprises first other elastic means (95) which oppose the extension of the at least a first further chamber (52) up to a respective first pressure thereof and the force applicable by the first hydraulic safety cylinder (5) and by the first elastic means (91) on the first engaging part (110) is greater than the force applicable by the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (1a, 1b) and/or by the first other elastic means (95).
- the blocking unit (100) preferably comprises second other elastic means (96) which oppose the extension of the second further chamber (62) up to a respective first pressure thereof and the force applicable by the second hydraulic safety cylinder (6) and by the second elastic means (92) on the first movement part (130) is greater than the force applicable by the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2) and the second other elastic means (96).
- the inequalities introduced in the above can easily be satisfied by operating on the thrusting area of the cylinders, typically on the diameters thereof (D1, D2, D3, D4), possibly by taking account of the fact that the first elastic means (91) usually offer a greater contribution than the first other elastic means (96) and that the second elastic means (92) usually offer a greater contribution than the second other elastic means (97).
- the thrusting area of the first further chamber (52) is preferably equal to or greater than the thrusting area of the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (1a, 1b).
- the thrusting area of the second further chamber (62) is preferably equal to or greater than the thrusting area of the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2).
- the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2) or the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (1a, 1b) comprises two or more units it is necessary to take account of the overall thrusting area, as shown by way of example in the following.
- a first diameter (D1) of the first hydraulic safety cylinder (5) of 22 millimetres a second diameter (D2) of the at least a first hydraulic cylinder (11a, 11b) of 14 millimetres and a third diameter (D3) of the second hydraulic safety cylinder (6) and a fourth diameter (D4) of the at least a second hydraulic cylinder (2) of 20 millimetres.
- the square of 22 is more than double the square of 14.
- the blocking unit (100) preferably comprises third elastic means (93), fourth elastic means (94), third other elastic means (97) and fourth other elastic means (98) and the other characteristics detailed in the foregoing.
- the blocking unit (100) typically comprises position sensors for detecting the position of the first engaging part (110) and/or of the second engaging part (120) and/or of the first movement part (130) and/or of the second movement part (140).
- the position sensors can, for example, be of the inductive type and are schematically illustrated in the appended figures which show second positions (s) or engaged positions (imp) ( locked ) or which show first positions (p) or the disengaged positions (dis) ( unlocked ) .
- the first chamber (11a, 11b) and/or the second chamber (22) and/or the third chamber (31a, 31b) and/or the fourth chamber (41) are thrust chambers, thus enabling further reduction of the size of the blocking unit (100).
- the hydraulic fluid is preferably hydraulic oil, for example ISO 46 oil.
- the first direction (A) and the second direction (B) can differ from one another, for example perpendicular, and the first engaging part (110), the second engaging part (120), the first movement part (130) and the second movement part (140) can operate in different areas from those shown by way of example in the appended figures; by way of example they might have positions, with respect to the support (101), that are in inverse order to those illustrated.
- the invention also relates to a hydraulic cylinder (200) for telescopic systems (1000).
- An embodiment of the hydraulic cylinder (200) comprises a cylinder (201) and a rod (202), movable with respect to one another, a blocking unit (100) according to the present description which is borne by the rod (202) or by the cylinder (201), a telescopic conduit (203) connected to the hydraulic circuit and valves (204) arranged between the telescopic conduit (203) and the hydraulic circuit.
- the blocking unit (100) is preferably borne by the cylinder (201).
- the valves (204) are preferably electrically-commanded valves, as in the examples of the figures in which the voltage is indicated as follows (24 V DC ).
- the valves (204) preferably comprise a two-spool directional valve and a blocking directional valve arranged between the first above mentioned valve and the telescopic conduit (203).
- the two-spool directional valve alternatively connects the blocking directional valve to the first connection (99c) or to the second connection (99d).
- the invention also relates to a telescopic system (1000).
- An embodiment of the telescopic system (1000) comprising telescopic sections (300), blocking pins (400), each movable between a blocked position (bl) in which it blocks telescopic sections (300) to one another and an unblocked position (sb) in which it frees telescopic sections (300) from one another and a blocking unit (100) according to the present description.
- the blocking unit (100) is movable internally of the telescopic sections (300) between a plurality of positions in such a way that the first movement part (130) moves different blocking pins (400) into the blocked position (bl) and into the unblocked position (sb) and in such a way that the first engaging part (110) can engage different telescopic sections (300).
- the telescopic system (1000) preferably comprises a hydraulic cylinder (200) according to the present description which moves the blocking unit (100) internally of the telescopic sections (300).
