The invention discloses a
hybrid power
system for recovering the
potential energy of a movable arm of an excavating
machine. A
check valve I, an auxiliary box, a motor, an
electricity storing unit, a
motor controller, a
pressure sensor I, a
pressure sensor II, a
hydraulic motor, a
clutch, a main controller and a
check valve II are added on the basis of the conventional excavating
machine; and an engine, the motor, the
hydraulic motor and a master variable pump are combined into a power
system through the auxiliary box. When the movable arm is lowered, oil flows back in two channels, a first oil
backflow channel is connected into the
hydraulic motor, a second oil
backflow channel is connected into the master variable pump, and the hydraulic motor and the master variable pump are used for transmitting power to the power
system respectively. The motor has an
electricity generating function; by controlling the motor, the function of generating
electricity through
absorbed energy or providing driving energy through output energy can be realized, and the aim of
energy conservation can be fulfilled; and the
hybrid power system has the advantages of a small number of used elements,
small element specification and low cost.
