This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010291657.3, filed on Apr. 14, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a jack, and more particularly, to a jack with a protecting structure of a pump piston and a method for using the same.
There are generally two types of jacks, vertical and horizontal. Many components are arranged on the jack depending on the application. A pump piston is a crucial component of the horizontal jack. The pump piston is lifted for pumping the oil. When the pump piston is being lifted, the pump piston and a spring are exposed and susceptible to the external environment, causing an amount of dust to accumulate on the pump piston and the spring. In addition, in wet humid environments, it makes the pump piston and spring more likely to rust, which seriously affects the normal work of the jack, and even causes the jack to lose its lifting function. Additionally, the service life of the spring is shortened due to long-term operation and rust, and the pump piston cannot work normally after the spring is worn, which also causes the jack to lose its lifting function.
Chinese patent CN201080418Y discloses a push-pull adjustable hydraulic horizontal jack, which includes a base, a main bracing arm, an auxiliary bracing arm, a cylinder base, a press rod base, a top base, an oil cylinder, an oil pump, an oil discharge valve, a press roller, a press rod, an oil cylinder piston, and an arm base. Specifically, the main bracing arm, the auxiliary bracing arm, the cylinder base, and the press rod base are arranged on the base, respectively. The top base is installed on the tops of the main bracing arm and the auxiliary bracing arm. The oil cylinder, the oil pump, and the oil discharge valve are arranged on the cylinder base, respectively. The press roller is arranged on the press rod base and corresponds to the oil pump. The press rod is installed on the press rod base and connected to the oil discharge valve. The oil cylinder piston is arranged on the oil cylinder. The arm base is connected to the oil cylinder piston In the working process, the press rod is pressed, and the oil pump is pressed by the press roller on the back of the press rod, so that the oil pump pumps oil to push the oil cylinder piston in the oil cylinder to move forward, and then the oil cylinder piston drives the arm base to move forward together. The oil pump of this patented horizontal jack, however, is not equipped with a dustproof structure, it is easily damaged in a severe environment due to its lack of protection.
Chinese patent CN207483247U discloses a transportable horizontal jack capable of protecting a pump piston, including a handle for easily carrying the horizontal jack and protecting the pump piston, an oil pump component, a wall panel, a lifting arm component, a hand-press portion, the pump piston, a front wheel, a rear wheel, and a rear wheel protecting frame. The handle is fixed on the rear wheel protecting frame or the wall panel by bolting or welding or snap-fitting. The handle is not only used as a traditional handle in the actual use process, and but also can effectively protect the pump piston of the oil pump from being damaged by other external objects, so as to effectively prolong the service life of the oil pump. This set up, however, protects only the oil pump from damage caused by contact with external objects. It does not protect the oil pump from dust and moisture.
It is, therefore, highly desirable to provide an improved jack with a protecting structure of a pump piston and a method for using the same.
In order to solve the above problems, an objective of the present invention is to provide a jack with a protecting structure of a pump piston and a method for using the same.

A jack with a protecting structure of a pump piston and a method for using the same according to the present invention will be further described below in combination with the drawings.
As shown in
Step 1: the spring 10 is installed on the base 2 where the pump body 4 is already installed.
Step 2: the press plate 13, the dustproof sleeve 6 and the cushion plate 12 are successively sleeved on the stop protrusion 11 of the pump piston 5.
Step 3: the wool felt 9 is plugged into the vent 8 of the base 2.
Step 4: the pump piston 5 is installed on the pump body 1, wherein the press plate 13, the dustproof sleeve 6 and the cushion plate 12 have been already installed on the pump piston 5.
Step 5: the press ring 7 is sleeved into the dustproof sleeve 6, and the press ring 7 and the dustproof sleeve 6 are fixed on the base 2 through the fastener.
One end of the dustproof sleeve 6 is fixed between the press plate 13 and the cushion plate 12 through the spring 10 mounted on the pump body 4 and the stop protrusion 11 located on the pump piston. Since the spring has elasticity, the upward resilience of the spring can fix the dustproof sleeve 6 between the press plate 13 and the cushion plate 12. The stop protrusion plays a role in limiting the position of the press plate 13. The other end of the dustproof sleeve 6 is fixed on the base 2 by the fastener and the press ring 7.
The present invention provides a method for using the jack with the protecting structure of the pump piston. Firstly, the jack is manually moved to the workplace through the wheels 15, and then one end of the handle 36 is inserted into the hand-press portion socket 35. The handle 36 is pressed repeatedly by hands, and the handle 36 drives the pump piston 5 and the spring 10 through the hand-press portion rollers to perform the retractile action, while the pump piston 5 drives the dustproof sleeve 6 to perform the synchronous retractile action, so that the dustproof sleeve 6 plays a dustproof role. In the process of the synchronous retractile action of the dustproof sleeve 6, since the dustproof sleeve 6 is retractable and has elasticity, the reaction force of the spring 10 can be alleviated to prolong the service life of the spring. When the pump piston 5 performs the retractile action, the hydraulic oil is injected into the oil cylinder 3, and the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the oil cylinder 3 pushes the piston rod 16. The piston rod 16 pushes the connecting rod 17, and the connecting rod 17 drives the lifting arm 19 to move through the short connecting rods 18. The lifting arm 19 moves to drive the pallet base 25 and the pallet 27 to move upward through the action of the long connecting rods 23, thereby lifting the pallet 27 upward and playing the role of jacking up.
The present invention has the following advantages. The jack is provided with the dustproof sleeve 6, and the shape of the dustproof sleeve 6 is designed to be wavy. One end of the dustproof sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the base 2, and the press ring 7 is added to press the bottom end of the dustproof sleeve 6 when the dustproof sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the base 2, and then is fixed through a fastener. The tightness of the connection between the bottom end of the dustproof sleeve 6 and the base 2 is increased through the press ring 7, so as to increase the seal to prevent dust from entering the gap at the bottom end. The other end of the dustproof sleeve 6 is connected to an end portion of the pump piston 5. First, the dustproof sleeve 6 is connected to the pump piston 5 by interference fit, which increases the tightness of the connection between an end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 and the pump piston 5. The cushion plate 12 and the press plate 13 are arranged at both ends of the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6. One end of the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 is in contact with the spring 10 through the cushion plate 12, and the other end of the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 is in contact with the stop protrusion 11 through the press plate 13. In the process of the retractile action of the dustproof sleeve 6, the cushion plate 12 and the press plate 13 are configured to ensure the interference connection between the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 and the pump piston 5, so as to avoid the occurrence of a gap at the connection between the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 and the pump piston 5 due to the deformation of the end portion of the dustproof sleeve 6 caused by the retractile action. By installing the spring 10 on the pump piston 5, in the process of the retractile action of the pump piston 5, the dustproof sleeve 6 can effectively retract and stretch within the whole stroke of the pump piston 5 through the reset force of the spring 10 to effectively prevent dust. When the pump piston 5 is lifted to drive the dustproof sleeve 6 to move upward, the vent 8 is arranged in the base 2 to draw the air into the dustproof sleeve 6 and cause the dustproof sleeve 6 to stretch, which avoids the retraction of the dustproof sleeve 6 due to lack of internal air. When the pump piston 5 retracts, the air in the dustproof sleeve 6 is discharged through the vent 8. The wool felt 9 is installed in the vent 8 to prevent dust from entering the dustproof sleeve 6 via the vent 8 to effectively prevent secondary contamination. The reinforcing plate 29 is installed on the lifting arm 19, the web plate 20 and the pallet base 25, so as to increase the firmness and stability of the structure of the jack. The hand-press portion limit rod 31 is installed on the housing 1 to prevent the handle 36 from being pressed reversely.
The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and the transformations thereof. General modifications and replacements made by those skilled in the art based on the contents of the embodiments of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
