Piston rod 2 is installed inside cylinder 1. A guiding and sealing assembly is set on piston rod 2 at the right end of cylinder 1, including a first lip seal 11, an intermediate seal spacer 14, and a second lip seal guide sleeve 15. A buffer pressure-free sealing area is formed between the first lip seal 11 and the intermediate seal spacer 14, as well as between the intermediate seal spacer 14 and the second lip seal guide sleeve 15.

Intermediate seal spacer 14 is firmly riveted between the outer wall of intermediate seal spacer 14 and the inner wall of cylinder 1.
Piston rod 2 is installed inside cylinder 1, with piston 7 and piston plate 10 set on piston rod 2. Piston 7 divides the inner cavity of cylinder 1 into a rod cavity and a rodless cavity, with the rod cavity on the right side of the rodless cavity. Piston 7 and piston plate 10 are tightly riveted on piston rod 2. A fit clearance 12 is set between the inner wall of cylinder 1 and the outer wall of piston 7. A sealing groove 9 is set between the right side of piston 7 and the left side of piston plate 10. Damping hole 8 and O-ring seal are set on piston 7, with ventilation groove 13 set on piston plate 10.
Ventilation groove 13 is set in a radial groove shape, dividing piston plate 10 into three or more odd or even blade structures. Ventilation groove 13 is set in a radial arc or curved long groove.
Left connector 4 is installed at the left end of rear plug 5, while right connector 3 is installed at the right end of piston rod 2.

Detailed Implementation Mode
The piston structure of this utility model is reasonable and operates stably. The central hole (13) divides the piston plate (10) into spiral blade structures, improving its rigidity and ensuring smoother ventilation.
This utility model adopts post-inflation closing and pressing riveting. The rear plug (5) is enhanced with two O-rings. When the rear plug (5) and the cylinder (1) are separated, high-pressure sealing inflation is performed on the empty cylinder (1) cavity, ensuring consistent inflation volume and meeting the precise force requirements of the gas spring. At the moment of inflation completion, the closing molds of the high-pressure inflation equipment, namely the left closing mold (112) and the right closing mold (115), push the rear plug (5) into the cylinder (1) while closing, ensuring the precision consistency of the gas spring’s inflation force value, improving the sealing performance and service life of the guiding sealing assembly.
The piston plate (10) is a new type of five-point daisy piston plate. The five points of the daisy piston improve the concentricity of the piston rod (2), guiding sealing assembly, cylinder (1), piston body (7), and piston plate (10), making the gas spring run more stably. The guiding sealing assembly adopts secondary pressureless sealing, which means there is no initial air pressure between the two sealing components. The first sealing component blocks air pressure, while the second sealing component, due to the absence of pressure, exerts negligible friction on the piston rod. As the gas spring extends and retracts, a reasonable accumulation of oil on the piston rod surface gradually applies pressure to the second sealing component’s lip, thereby improving the sealing performance and service life of the guiding sealing assembly.
This utility model can be widely applied to any category of gas springs.

According to different customer requirements for the closing size and shape, the connection root can be set with an internal chamfer or internal rounded corners. The assembly stroke of the rear plug (5) is less than the distance between the inner side surface of the stepped hole and the mold seal ring, ensuring the continuity and rationality of the assembly work.

This utility model can achieve interchangeable connections through various means, such as threaded connections, socket pin assembly, tapered fit, or slot ring assembly.
The intermediate relay, time controller, or PCL logic controller sets the on/off timing and sequence of each valve group. The gas spring (101) to be assembled is placed on the lower half-round replaceable frame (106). The clamping pump (121) is activated, and the three-position four-way solenoid valve (122) for clamping is powered on. The lower pressure cylinder or hydraulic cylinder (103) drives the upper half-round replaceable frame (105) downward through the movable lower pressure seat (104) to clamp the gas spring (101) to be assembled. Once clamped, at the specified time A, the three-position four-way solenoid valve (122) for clamping is powered off to retain pressure, and the compensation check valve (124) quickly replenishes oil.
The two-position four-way solenoid valve (120) for closing push is powered on for the first time, starting the left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107) with the closing oil pump (119). The left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107) drives the replaceable left push-in inflation seat (108) to move rightward. The cylinder (1) enters the stepped hole of the left closing mold (112) and achieves axial sealing through the seal ring. At the specified time B, the two-position four-way solenoid valve (120) for closing push is powered off, stopping the movement. The two-position three-way solenoid valve (117) and high-pressure inflation air pump (116) are activated. The high-pressure inflation air pump (116) inflates the rodless cavity of the cylinder (1) through the two-position three-way solenoid valve (117) and the inflation through hole (110), achieving precise inflation.
At the specified time C, the two-position three-way solenoid valve (117) and high-pressure inflation air pump (116) are powered off. The two-position four-way solenoid valve (120) for closing push of the left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107) is powered on for the second time, starting the closing oil pump (119) of the left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107). The left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107) continues to drive the rear plug (5) rightward and pushes it to the left end of the cylinder (1). Then, the replaceable left push-in inflation seat (108) continues to move rightward while the right pushing and closing hydraulic cylinder (114) moves leftward. Under the action of the left push-in hydraulic cylinder (107) and the right pushing and closing hydraulic cylinder (114), the left closing mold (112) and the right closing mold (115) close the cylinder (1).
At the specified time D, the two-position three-way solenoid valve (117) is powered on and changes direction, releasing air from the inflation through hole (110). The two-position four-way solenoid valve (120) for closing push is powered on and changes direction, releasing the cylinder (1). The three-position four-way solenoid valve (122) for clamping is powered on and changes direction, allowing the cylinder (1) to be removed. The left closing mold (112) and right closing mold (115) are sleeved on the closed end of the cylinder (1), achieving simultaneous removal. As a structural variation, one oil pump can be used to simultaneously control the linkage of the valve groups through combination. Compared to this integrated linkage control scheme, the control system of this embodiment, where each oil pump controls its valve group, avoids mutual interference, facilitates maintenance and troubleshooting, and reduces pump oil load.
This utility model has an advanced structure, high automation degree, high work efficiency, sturdy and durable structure, convenient use, good quality of assembled products, low cost, and reasonable process.
