Abstract
A pressurizing device comprising a connection mechanism (5) capable of connecting an output shaft (2) to an input shaft (3) so that they are not moved relative to each other and a fluid pressure mechanism (6) capable of hydraulically connecting the output shaft (2) to the input shaft (3) and increasing the energization of the input shaft (3) by the Pascal's principle when the output shaft (2) and the input shaft (3) are moved relative to each other to pressurize the output shaft (3) with high thrust. The connection mechanism (5) detects the contact of the output shaft (2) on the pressurized object and releases the connection of the output shaft (2) to the input shaft (3).
Claims16
A pressure apparatus, comprising:
- a) stationary part;
- b) an output shaft supported on the stationary part to be slidable in an axial direction;
- c) an input shaft supported on the output shaft to be slidable coaxially with the output shaft;
- d) a drive mechanism capable of moving the input shaft in the axial direction;
- e) a connecting mechanism capable of connecting the output shaft and the input shaft to each other so as to inhibit relative movements;
- and,
- f) a hydraulic pressure mechanism which connects the output shaft and the input shaft hydraulically to each other and can increase energization of the input shaft according to Pascal's principle to subject the output shaft to high-thrust pressurization when the output shaft and the input shaft move relative to each other,
- wherein, when the input shaft moves the output shaft connected thereto by the connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism releases connection of the output shaft and the input shaft detecting that the output shaft abuts against a pressurized object.
A pressure apparatus, comprising:
- a) a stationary part including a hollow cylinder body formed on both ends thereof in a direction of cylinder axis with a first through-hole and a second through-hole;
- b) an output shaft including a hollow cylinder body slidably supported by the first through-hole and the second through-hole and defining a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber between the output shaft and the stationary part;
- c) a pressure receiving piston formed integrally on the output shaft to compartment the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber and provided with a communication passage, which provides a communication between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber;
- d) an input shaft slidably supported on the output shaft to form a third fluid chamber which is communicated to the second fluid chamber between the input shaft and the output shaft;
- d) pressure applying piston integrally formed on the input shaft to expand and contract the third fluid chamber as the input shaft reciprocates, the pressure applying piston having a smaller pressure applying area than a pressure receiving area of the pressure receiving piston;
- e) a drive mechanism capable of moving the input shaft in a slide direction;
- f) a connecting mechanism capable of connecting the output shaft and the input shaft to each other so as to inhibit relative movements;
- and,
- g) a control mechanism which maintains the communication passage open when connection by the connecting mechanism is provided, and closes the communication passage when connection by the connecting mechanism is released;
- and,
- wherein, when the input shaft moves the output shaft connected thereto by the connecting mechanism, the connecting mechanism releases connection of the output shaft and the input shaft detecting that the output shaft abuts against a pressurized object thereby putting the output shaft in a state capable of high-thrust pressurization.
