The patent US12012977B2 describes an innovative auto-lock hydraulic hoist cylinder device designed to enhance safety and efficiency in load handling. The device comprises a lock actuator, a lock transmission mechanism, and a load-bearing mechanism. The load-bearing mechanism features a locking shaft equipped with a load-bearing nut and protrusions that interact with a locking cover. The lock actuator, positioned on the upper end cover of the main hydraulic hoist, drives the locking shaft through the transmission mechanism, ensuring secure load management. The design includes a positioning system with sensors to monitor the locking and unlocking states, enhancing operational safety.

Additionally, the patent outlines a control method for transitioning the device between locked and unlocked states. This method involves a series of steps that utilize hydraulic oil to manipulate the piston and locking cover, facilitating the alignment and misalignment of the locking components. The control process is further enhanced by an electromagnetic bolt that provides position feedback, ensuring that the load-bearing mechanism is securely locked or unlocked as needed. The design's precision, including the specific arrangement of sensors and the mechanical interactions between components, aims to improve the reliability and functionality of hydraulic hoist systems in various applications.
