Abstract

A hydraulic cylinder includes a rod inner passage that is formed in a piston rod along an axial direction and communicates a fluid pressure source and an interior of a cylinder tube; a plug that is inserted from an open end that opens to the interior of the cylinder tube of the rod inner passage; a lateral hole that is formed in the piston rod along a radial direction and extends so as to cross the rod inner passage; and a pin that is inserted into the lateral hole. In the piston rod, an inner-circumference screw portion is formed on an inner circumference of the rod inner passage, and on the plug, an outer-circumference screw portion that is screwed into the inner-circumference screw portion and an engagement portion that is engaged with the pin and locks rotation of the plug are formed.

Claims (29)

1. A fluid pressure cylinder in which a piston rod moves in an axial direction by working-fluid pressure guided from a fluid pressure source to an interior of a cylinder tube, comprising:

a rod inner passage that is formed in the piston rod along the axial direction and communicates the fluid pressure source with the interior of the cylinder tube;

a plug that closes an open end that opens to the interior of the cylinder tube of the rod inner passage;

a lateral hole that is formed in the piston rod along a radial direction and opens to the rod inner passage;

a pin that is inserted into the lateral hole; and

a piston assembly that is linked to the piston rod, wherein

an inner-circumference screw portion is formed on an inner circumference of the rod inner passage,

the plug has

an outer-circumference screw portion that is screwed into the inner-circumference screw portion and

an engagement portion that is engaged with the pin and locks rotation of the plug,

the pin is disposed at inside of the piston assembly, and

the pin is prevented from falling off by an inner circumferential surface of the piston assembly.

2. A fluid pressure cylinder in which a piston rod moves in an axial direction by working-fluid pressure guided from a fluid pressure source to an interior of a cylinder tube, comprising:

a rod inner passage that is formed in the piston rod along the axial direction and communicates the fluid pressure source with the interior of the cylinder tube;

a plug that closes an open end that opens to the interior of the cylinder tube of the rod inner passage;

a lateral hole that is formed in the piston rod along a radial direction and opens to the rod inner passage;

a pin that is inserted into the lateral hole; and

a piston assembly that is fastened to the piston rod, wherein

an inner-circumference screw portion is formed on an inner circumference of the rod inner passage,

the plug has

an outer-circumference screw portion that is screwed into the inner-circumference screw portion and

an engagement portion that is engaged with the pin and locks rotation of the plug, and

the piston assembly has an engagement portion that is engaged with the pin and locks rotation of the piston assembly.

3. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , wherein the pin is inserted into the lateral hole so as to cross the rod inner passage.

4. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 1 , further comprising a seal ring that is interposed between the inner circumference of the rod inner passage and the plug, wherein

the plug has an outer circumference groove into which the seal ring is interposed, and a space between the plug and the rod inner passage is sealed by the seal ring.

5. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 2 , wherein the pin is inserted into the lateral hole so as to cross the rod inner passage.

6. The fluid pressure cylinder according to claim 2 , further comprising a seal ring that is interposed between the inner circumference of the rod inner passage and the plug, wherein

the plug has an outer circumference groove into which the seal ring is interposed, and a space between the plug and the rod inner passage is sealed by the seal ring.
