Abstract
A valve mounting mechanism, for mounting a mount valve on a cylinder tube of a hydraulic cylinder, includes: an attachment structure that attaches the mount valve to the hydraulic cylinder; a connection structure that connects a second end part of a hydraulic pipe, whose first end part is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, to a cylinder port of the mount valve; and an adjustment mechanism that adjusts relative positions of a pipe fastening portion, where the hydraulic pipe is fastened to the connection structure, and the mount valve.
Claims8
A valve mounting mechanism for mounting a mount valve on a cylinder tube of a hydraulic cylinder, the valve mounting mechanism comprising:
- an attachment structure that attaches the mount valve to the hydraulic cylinder;
- a connection structure that connects a second end part of a hydraulic pipe, whose first end part is connected to the hydraulic cylinder, to a cylinder port of the mount valve;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism that adjusts relative positions of a pipe fastening portion, where the hydraulic pipe is fastened to the connection structure, and the mount valve,
- wherein the connection structure includes, as the adjustment mechanism,
- a first pipe fitting whose first end part is rotatably fastened to the hydraulic pipe,
- a second pipe fitting that is disposed at a position where an axial direction of the second pipe fitting is parallel to an axial direction of the first pipe fitting and where the second pipe fitting is offset from the first pipe fitting in a direction perpendicular to the axial directions and that has a first end part connected to the cylinder port, and
- an intermediate-connection member to which a second end part of the first pipe fitting and a second end part of the second pipe fitting are connected,
- wherein the attachment structure includes, as the adjustment mechanism,
- a clamp member that is attached to the cylinder tube of the hydraulic cylinder so that a position of the clamp member is adjustable in a circumferential direction,
- an attachment base that is fixed to the clamp member, and
- an attachment plate to which the mount valve is to be attached,
- wherein an axis of the first pipe fitting and an axis of the second pipe fitting extend in a direction parallel to an axis of the cylinder tube, and
- wherein the attachment base has an attachment surface to which the attachment plate is attached so that a position of the attachment plate is adjustable in an adjustment direction parallel to a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the first pipe fitting.
