[0003] The present invention belongs to the technical field of ship hydraulic systems, and in particular relates to a non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0004] When a non-retractable fin stabilizer is not in use, a locking cylinder drives a retractable pin into the pinhole of the fin shank, locking the device and preventing the fin from swinging unpredictably due to currents. The ability of the retractable pin, mounted on the locking cylinder, to smoothly insert into the pinhole of the fin shank is closely related to the accuracy of the fin shank pin reset control. Resetting the retractable pin to zero is typically done electro-hydraulically using a closed-loop control system involving a servo valve and angle sensor. This requires high precision from the servo valve, angle sensor, and reset control, and can sometimes prevent the pin from retracting properly due to accuracy issues.

[0026] When the fin handle rotates, the two fin rotating cylinders exert a force F on both ends of the fin handle. Lx The two fin cylinders apply a torque M to the fin handle in opposite directions. w is the sum of the torques on the left and right sides of the fin handle.

[0027] Furthermore, the oil tank and cooler assembly includes a motor, a plunger pump, a cooler, an oil return filter and an oil tank; the oil tank includes an oil outlet and an oil return port, the oil outlet of the oil tank is connected to the plunger pump through a pipeline, the plunger pump is connected through a motor drive, and the plunger pump is also connected to the P port of the first electromagnetic reversing valve; the oil return port of the oil tank is connected to the return oil filter, the return oil filter is connected to the cooler, and the cooler is connected to the return oil pipeline of the control valve group.

[0028] A control method for a non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system is provided, utilizing the non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system described above and operating the system in the following manner:

[0029] Step 1: Unlocking action; when the fin handle is not unlocked, the electromagnetic overflow valve, the first electromagnetic reversing valve, and the second electromagnetic reversing valve are all in a de-energized state. The B port and T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve are connected, and the hydraulic oil in the locking mechanism flows back to the oil tank. The motor is started to drive the plunger pump, which drives the hydraulic oil to charge the accumulator and build up system pressure. After the pressure is built up, the system is reset to zero and the locking mechanism is unlocked.

[0030] Step 2: Fin turning action; after the locking mechanism is unlocked, the first solenoid reversing valve is in the energized state, the P port and the B port of the first solenoid reversing valve are connected, and the A port and the T port of the first solenoid reversing valve are connected. Since two pipelines are connected in parallel on the connecting pipeline from the high-pressure filter to the electro-hydraulic servo valve, which are respectively connected to the first hydraulic-controlled check valve and the fifth hydraulic-controlled check valve, the second hydraulic-controlled check valve is connected to the fifth hydraulic-controlled check valve at the same time. The high-pressure oil flows from the P port and the B port of the first solenoid reversing valve through the high-pressure filter into the electro-hydraulic servo valve and flows to the first hydraulic-controlled check valve respectively. and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve, and then flows to the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve. The high-pressure oil opens the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve at the same time. The hydraulic oil in the three oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder passes through the B port and A port of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve, and flows through the A port and T port of the first solenoid reversing valve and then flows back to the oil tank. The electro-hydraulic servo valve receives the clockwise or counterclockwise fin-turning command of the electronic control equipment, and then controls the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder to push and pull the fin handle alternately, so that the fin handle drives the fin shaft to rotate.

[0031] Step 3: Locking action; when the equipment is shut down, the locking action is performed, the system issues a shutdown command, and the electro-hydraulic servo valve's fin rotation command is released. The passage from port B to port A of the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve is closed to form a hydraulic lock, closing the first and second oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder and the first and second oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder, reducing the swing of the fin handle; the first solenoid reversing valve and the second solenoid reversing valve are powered off, the P port of the first solenoid reversing valve is connected to the A port, and the high-pressure oil of the first solenoid reversing valve flows from the P port to the A port, and is also connected to the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve, opening the first and second oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder and the first and second oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder, and the high-pressure oil passes through the first solenoid The reversing valve enters the three oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder. The effective working area of ​​the three oil chamber pistons of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder is the same, so that the fin handle is in a horizontal state, and the pin hole of the fin handle is aligned with the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism; the motor stops rotating, and the electromagnetic overflow valve unloads the system pressure after being energized. The passage from port B to port A in the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve is closed, and the three oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder maintain the preset pressure, and the fin handle remains in a horizontal state; the B port and the T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve are connected, and the oil in the locking mechanism flows back to the oil tank through the B port and the T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve. Under the action of the internal spring force, the locking mechanism inserts the telescopic pin into the pin hole of the fin handle to lock the fin handle.

[0032] Furthermore, step 1 specifically includes:

[0033] Step 1.1: The P port and A port of the first solenoid reversing valve are connected. High-pressure oil enters the A port of the first solenoid reversing valve from the plunger pump and then splits into two branches. One branch enters the A and B channels of the first hydraulically controlled check valve, and from the B port of the first hydraulically controlled check valve, enters the three oil chambers of the first and second fin-turning cylinders. The other branch enters the connecting pipeline of the third and fourth hydraulically controlled check valves, opening the third and fourth hydraulically controlled check valves.

[0034] Step 1.2: After the high-pressure oil opens the third and fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valves, the hydraulic oil in the first oil chamber of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second oil chamber of the second fin-turning cylinder flows back to the oil tank through the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve. The hydraulic oil in the second oil chamber of the first fin-turning cylinder and the first oil chamber of the second fin-turning cylinder flows back to the oil tank through the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve.

[0035] Step 1.3: Based on steps 1.1 and 1.2, the first and second oil chambers of the first and second fin rotating cylinders are free of hydraulic oil, and the three oil chambers of the first and second fin rotating cylinders are filled with hydraulic oil of the same pressure. The forces exerted on the fin handle by the first and second fin rotating cylinders are in the same direction and equal in magnitude. At this time, the fin handle is in a horizontal state, and the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism is located in the pin hole of the fin handle;

[0036] Step 1.4: Since the second solenoid reversing valve is connected in parallel to the pipeline from the plunger pump to the first solenoid reversing valve, the second solenoid reversing valve is energized. The P port and B port of the second solenoid reversing valve are the same. The high-pressure oil enters the B port from the P port of the second solenoid reversing valve and flows to the locking mechanism, squeezing the spring in the locking mechanism and pulling the telescopic pin away from the pin hole of the fin handle. At this time, the locking mechanism completes the unlocking action. After unlocking, the second solenoid reversing valve keeps the P port and B port connected.

[0037] Furthermore, step 2 specifically includes:

[0038] Step 2.1: When the electro-hydraulic servo valve receives the clockwise fin rotation instruction from the electronic control device, the P port and B port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve are connected, and the A port and T port are connected. The high-pressure oil passes through the P port and B port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve and enters the fifth hydraulic-controlled one-way valve, and enters the two oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the one oil chamber of the second fin-turning cylinder through the fifth hydraulic-controlled one-way valve. The hydraulic oil in the one oil chamber of the first fin-turning cylinder and the two oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder enter the A port and T port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve through the second hydraulic-controlled one-way valve and then flows back to the oil tank. At this time, the high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder pushes the first piston and the first push rod, thereby generating thrust on one end of the fin handle. The high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder compresses the first piston and drives the first push rod to move into the oil chamber, thereby generating pulling force on the other end of the fin handle.

[0039] Step 2.2: When the electro-hydraulic servo valve receives the counterclockwise fin rotation instruction from the electronic control device, the P port and A port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve are connected, and the B port and T port are connected. The high-pressure oil passes through the P port and A port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve and enters the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve, and enters the first oil chamber of the first fin rotation cylinder and the second oil chamber of the second fin rotation cylinder through the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve. The hydraulic oil in the two oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder and the one oil chamber of the second fin rotation cylinder enters the B port and T port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve through the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve and then flows back to the oil tank. At this time, the high-pressure oil in the one oil chamber of the first fin rotation cylinder compresses the first piston and drives the first push rod to move into the oil chamber, thereby generating a pulling force on the other end of the fin handle. The high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder pushes the first piston and the first push rod, thereby generating a thrust on one end of the fin handle.

[0040] It should be noted that the P port, A port, and B port mentioned in the present invention are merely the numbers of the openings of the electro-hydraulic servo valve, and those skilled in the art may adopt other numbering methods.

[0041] According to the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0042] First, the present invention utilizes the lever principle. When the fins are reset to zero, hydraulic oil of the same pressure is applied to the bottom of the two fin-turning cylinders at the same time through the control valve group. The hydraulic oil enters the fin-turning cylinders and pushes the pistons in the fin-turning cylinders, so that the effective working areas of the pistons of the two fin-turning cylinders are the same. The pistons of the fin-turning cylinders drive the push rods of the fin-turning cylinders to apply the same thrust to the two ends of the fin handle, so that the fin handle is in a reset state; when the fins are working, the control valve group controls the fin-turning cylinder on one side to apply thrust to the fin handle, and the control valve group controls the fin-turning cylinder on the other side to apply tension to the fin handle, and the control valve group controls the two fin-turning cylinders alternately to realize the rotational movement of the fin handle; the torque acting on the two ends of the fin handle can be accurately controlled to achieve balance, so that the fins are accurately reset to zero, and ensure that the fin handle after reset can be locked or unlocked in place by the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism, thereby avoiding the fin handle being unable to be locked or unlocked due to reset deviation;

[0043] Second, the fin-turning cylinder of the present invention has three oil chambers and multiple working modes. The three oil chambers are respectively one oil chamber, two oil chambers and three oil chambers. When the fin is reset to zero, the one oil chamber and the two oil chambers of the two fin-turning cylinders are drained synchronously, and the effective working area of ​​the pistons of the three oil chambers is the same. When the fin reciprocates, the fin-turning cylinder on one side of the fin handle works based on the mode of oil intake from the one oil chamber and oil drainage from the two and three oil chambers, and the fin-turning cylinder on the other side of the fin handle works based on the mode of oil intake from the two oil chambers and oil drainage from the one and three oil chambers. The two working modes of the two fin-turning cylinders are alternated with each other to accurately realize the reciprocating rotation of the fin.

[0044] Third, the control valve assembly of the present invention has an accumulator, which can be charged with hydraulic oil with a preset pressure when the non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system is under pressure;

[0045] Fourth, the oil tank and cooler assembly of the present invention can deliver hydraulic oil to the control valve group and collect the hydraulic oil in the fin cylinder group that is controlled by the control valve group to flow back. The oil tank and cooler assembly includes a cooler and a return oil filter. The cooler and the return oil filter are installed on the return oil pipeline of the control valve group. The cooler can cool the hydraulic oil after work to ensure that the non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system is at a suitable working temperature and the system pressure is guaranteed. The return oil filter can filter out wear impurities in the fin cylinder, control valve group and pipeline to ensure smooth operation of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The corresponding positional relationships may vary depending on the drawings, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection.

[0057] In this application, the terms "installed," "connected," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense.

They can also be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. They can also refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0058] Example 1:

[0059] Referring to Figures 1-2 of the specification, a non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system includes a locking mechanism 1, a fin shank 2, a finning cylinder assembly 3, a control valve assembly 4, and an oil tank and cooler assembly 5. The finning cylinder assembly 3 includes two symmetrically arranged finning cylinders, one end of which has a push rod and the other end has an oil inlet for the control valve assembly. The fin shank 2 has a center hole with mounting holes symmetrically arranged at both ends. The fin shaft of fin A is inserted into the center hole of the fin shank 2 for fixation. The outer edge of the fin shank 2 is provided with a pin hole, the central axis of which is perpendicular to the line connecting the center points of the mounting holes at both ends of the fin shank 2 and intersecting the axis of the fin shaft. The two fin-turning cylinders and the locking mechanism 1 are located on either side of the fin handle 2. The two fin-turning cylinders have push rods at one end connected to the mounting holes at both ends of the fin handle 2. The two fin-turning cylinders are used to alternately push and pull the two ends of the fin handle 2, so that the fin handle 2 drives the fin axis of fin A to rotate along the axial direction. The two fin-turning cylinders have oil inlet ports at one end connected to the control valve group 4, which is used to input hydraulic oil to the two fin-turning cylinders. The locking mechanism 1 includes a telescopic pin. The telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 matches the pin hole of the fin handle 2. When fin A is reset to zero, the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 extends into the pin hole of the fin handle 2 to secure the fin handle 2. The locking mechanism 1 is also connected to the control valve group 4, which controls the extension or retraction of the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 to achieve locking or unlocking of fin A. The oil tank and cooler assembly 5 is connected to the control valve group 4 and is used to deliver hydraulic oil to the control valve group 4 and collect the hydraulic oil in the fin cylinder group 3 that is controlled to flow back by the control valve group 4.

[0060] The two fin-turning cylinders and the fin handle 2 form a lever structure, the fin handle 2 is the lever of the lever structure, and the center hole of the fin handle 2 is the fulcrum of the lever structure. The installation points of the two fin-turning cylinders and the fin handle 2 are both the resistance points of the lever structure and the thrust points of the lever structure. The length from the installation points of the two fin-turning cylinders and the fin handle 2 to the center of the center hole of the fin handle 2 is the lever arm of the lever structure, and the lengths of the two lever arms of the lever structure are the same.

[0061] In this embodiment, the torque M applied by the two fin turning cylinders 3 to the fin handle 2 is w Determined by the following formula:

[0062] Where:

[0063] M w ─Torque applied by the fin turning cylinder on the fin handle, Nm;

[0064] F Lx ─The force exerted by the fin turning cylinder on the fin handle, N;

[0065] L x ─The force arm of the fin turning cylinder acting on the fin handle, m.

[0066] Taking Figure 3 as an example, when fin A is reset, the force F exerted by the two fin rotating cylinders 3 on the fin handle 2 is L3 and F L4 The magnitude and direction are the same, the force arms L3 and L4 are equal, and the torques exerted by the cylinder on the fin handle 2 are equal and opposite in direction, achieving the comprehensive torque M w The torque M applied by the two fin rotating cylinders to the fin handle 2 is zero, so that the line connecting the center of the circle of the pin hole on the outer edge of the fin handle 2 is horizontal. The telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 smoothly extends into the pin hole of the fin handle 2 to achieve locking. w Determined by the following formula:

[0067] Taking FIG4 as an example, when the fin A rotates clockwise along the axis, one fin rotating cylinder 3 releases pressure on one end of the fin handle 2, and the other fin rotating cylinder 3 applies pressure to the other end of the fin handle 2, so that the force F exerted by the two fin rotating cylinders 3 on the fin handle 2 is L5 and F L6 The torque M applied by the two fin turning cylinders to the left and right sides of the fin handle 2 is in opposite directions. w Determined by the following formula:

[0068] Taking Figure 5 as an example, when the fin A rotates counterclockwise along the axis, the force exerted by the two fin-turning cylinders 3 on the fin handle 2 is opposite to that when the fin A rotates clockwise along the axis. One fin-turning cylinder 3 releases pressure on one end of the fin handle 2, and the other fin-turning cylinder 3 applies pressure on the other end of the fin handle 2, so that the force F exerted by the two fin-turning cylinders 3 on the fin handle 2 is L7 and FL8 The torque M applied by the two fin turning cylinders to the left and right sides of the fin handle 2 is in opposite directions. w Determined by the following formula:

[0069] This embodiment utilizes the lever principle. When fin A is reset, hydraulic oil of equal pressure is simultaneously applied to the bottom of the two fin-turning cylinders through the control valve group 4. The hydraulic oil enters the fin-turning cylinders and pushes the pistons in the fin-turning cylinders, making the effective working areas of the pistons of the two fin-turning cylinders equal. The pistons of the fin-turning cylinders drive the push rods of the fin-turning cylinders to apply equal thrust to the two ends of the fin handle 2, so that the fin handle 2 is reset to zero. When fin A is working, the control valve group 4 controls the fin-turning cylinder on one side to apply thrust to the fin handle 2, and the control valve group 4 controls the fin-turning cylinder on the other side to apply tension to the fin handle 2. By alternately controlling the two fin-turning cylinders by the control valve group 4, the rotation of the fin handle 2 is achieved. The structural method of this embodiment can accurately control the torque acting on the two ends of the fin handle 2 to achieve balance, so that fin A is accurately reset to zero. It ensures that the fin handle 2 can be locked or unlocked in place with fin A through the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 after the reset, avoiding the fin handle 2 from being unable to be locked or unlocked due to reset deviation.

[0077] On the connecting pipeline from the high-pressure filter 42 to the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41, two parallel pipelines are respectively connected to the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, and the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 is also connected to the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, so that high-pressure oil can flow between the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 and open the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404.

[0078] The B ports of the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 are connected, and the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403 are installed in series on the connecting pipeline.

The third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403 are connected through two parallel connecting pipelines, one of which is connected to the pipeline from the first solenoid reversing valve 440 to the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, and the other connecting pipeline is connected to the return oil end of the oil tank and the cooler assembly 5 through the hydraulic pipe.

[0079] Port B of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 is connected to the three oil chambers 302 of the first fin-turning cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder 31 through two branches in parallel via hydraulic pipes, respectively, for applying the same pressure to the three oil chambers 302 of the first fin-turning cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder 31 at the same time.

[0080] The B port of the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 is connected to the first oil chamber 300 of the first fin cylinder and the two oil chambers of the second fin cylinder 31 through two branches in parallel through hydraulic pipes, and is used for the hydraulic oil to act on the first piston of the first fin cylinder 30 with one end of the rod chamber and the first piston of the second fin cylinder 31 with one end of the rodless chamber, so that the hydraulic oil of the first fin cylinder 30 pushes the first piston to move toward the third oil chamber 302 of the first fin cylinder, thereby driving the first push rod of the first fin cylinder 30 to pull the fixed end with the fin handle 2, and at the same time, the hydraulic oil in the second fin cylinder 31 fills the space between the first piston and the second piston of the second fin cylinder 31 and pushes the first piston to move away from the second piston, thereby driving the first push rod of the second fin cylinder 31 to push the fixed end with the fin handle 2, so that the fin handle 2 rotates counterclockwise along its center axis.

[0082] It should be noted that those skilled in the art should understand that each chamber of the fin turning cylinder can be controlled by a corresponding control valve, or can be controlled by the control valve group 4 in the embodiment of the present invention. The structure of the fin turning cylinder group 3 and the piping arrangement framework of the control valve group 4 in this embodiment are merely illustrative. The structure of the fin turning cylinder group 3 and the piping arrangement framework of the control valve group 4 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. Using the lever principle of this embodiment, the fin turning cylinder group 3 and the control valve group 4 can achieve precise zero-reset control of the fin handle 2.

[0083] By adopting this structure of the present embodiment, when the fin is reset to zero, the effective working area of ​​the pistons in the three oil chambers 302 of the first fin rotating cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin rotating cylinder 31 are the same, and the fin handle 2 is in a horizontal posture, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the telescopic pin of the locking cylinder 1 into the pin hole of the fin handle 2.

[0084] By adopting the structure of the present embodiment, when the non-retractable fin stabilizer hydraulic system is unloading oil, the three oil chambers of the first fin rotating cylinder 300 and the second fin rotating cylinder 31 can be maintained at a predetermined pressure through the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, so that the horizontal posture of the fin handle 2 is stabilized.

[0085] By adopting this structure of the present embodiment, the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403 are used in conjunction. When the high-pressure oil passes through the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 to the three oil chambers 302 of the first fin cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin cylinder 31, the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403 are opened by the high-pressure oil circuit of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, and the second piston of the first fin cylinder 31 and the second piston of the second fin cylinder 31 can smoothly push the first piston of the first fin cylinder 31 and the first piston of the second fin cylinder 31, so that the first oil chamber 300 of the first fin cylinder, the second oil chamber 301 of the first fin cylinder, the first oil chamber 31 of the second fin cylinder 31 and the second oil chambers of the second fin cylinder 31 can return oil smoothly.

[0086] By adopting the structure of the present embodiment, when working, the hydraulic oil of the P port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 is connected with the control oil circuit of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the control oil circuit of the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the control oil circuit of the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, so that the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 are always in the open state, keeping the three oil chambers of the first fin cylinder 300 and the second fin cylinder 31 always discharging the oil into the oil tank and the cooler assembly 5 through the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 and the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440, ensuring the normal operation of the first fin cylinder 31 and the second fin cylinder 31.

[0087] Furthermore, the oil tank and cooler assembly 5 of this embodiment includes a motor 50 , a plunger pump 51 , a cooler 52 , an oil return filter 53 and an oil tank 54 .

[0088] The oil tank 54 includes an oil outlet and an oil return port. The oil outlet of the oil tank 54 is connected to the plunger pump 51 via a pipeline. The plunger pump 51 is driven by the motor 50 and is also connected to the check valve of the control valve assembly 4. The oil return port of the oil tank 54 is connected to the return oil filter 53 via a pipeline. The return oil filter 53 is connected to the cooler 52 via a pipeline. The cooler 52 is connected to the T port of the electromagnetic overflow valve 45, the T port of the electromagnetic reversing valve assembly 44, the T port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve, and the connecting pipelines between the A ports of the third hydraulically controlled check valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled check valve 403.

[0089] In this embodiment, the A-port connecting pipeline of the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403 and the hydraulic pipe connected to the cooler 52 are the main return pipeline, and the T-port of the electromagnetic overflow valve 45, the T-port of the electromagnetic reversing valve group 44 and the T-port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve are respectively connected to the main return pipeline through pipelines, thereby straightening the pipeline direction and making the pipeline structure of the overall control valve group 4 neat.

[0090] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the working method of the present invention is described as follows:

[0091] Step 1: Unlocking action; when the fin handle 2 is not unlocked, the electromagnetic overflow valve 45, the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 and the second electromagnetic reversing valve 441 are all in the power-off state, the B port and the T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve 441 are connected, the hydraulic oil in the locking mechanism 1 flows back to the oil tank 54, the starting motor 50 drives the plunger pump 51, and the plunger pump 51 drives the hydraulic oil to fill the accumulator 43 and build up the system pressure. After the pressure is built up, the system is reset to zero and the locking mechanism 1 is unlocked.

[0092] Step 1.1: The P port of the first solenoid reversing valve 440 is connected to the A port. After the high-pressure oil enters the A port of the first solenoid reversing valve 440 from the plunger pump 51, it is divided into two branches. One branch enters the A and B channels of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, and enters the three oil chambers of the first fin cylinder and the second fin cylinder from the B port of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400. The other branch enters the connecting pipeline of the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403, and opens the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403.

[0093] Step 1.2: After the high-pressure oil opens the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403, the hydraulic oil in one oil chamber of the first fin-turning cylinder and two oil chambers of the second fin-turning cylinder flows back to the oil tank 54 through the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402, and the hydraulic oil in the two oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and one oil chamber of the second fin-turning cylinder flows back to the oil tank 54 through the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403.

[0094] Step 1.3: Based on steps 1.1 and 1.2, there is no hydraulic oil in the first and second oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder, and there is hydraulic oil with the same pressure in the three oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder. The forces exerted by the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder on the fin handle 2 are of the same direction and equal magnitude. At this time, the fin handle 2 is in a horizontal state, and the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1 is located in the pin hole of the fin handle 2.

[0095] Step 1.4: Since the second solenoid reversing valve 441 is connected in parallel to the pipeline from the plunger pump 51 to the first solenoid reversing valve 440, the second solenoid reversing valve 441 is energized, and the P port of the second solenoid reversing valve 441 is connected to the B port. The high-pressure oil enters the B port from the P port of the second solenoid reversing valve 441 and flows to the locking mechanism 1, squeezing the spring in the locking mechanism 1, pulling the telescopic pin away from the pin hole of the fin handle 2. At this time, the locking mechanism 1 completes the unlocking action. After unlocking, the second solenoid reversing valve 441 keeps the P port and the B port connected.

[0096] Step 2: fin turning action; after the locking mechanism 1 is unlocked, the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 is energized, the P port and the B port of the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 are connected, and the A port and the T port of the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 are connected. Since two pipelines are connected in parallel on the connecting pipeline from the high-pressure filter 42 to the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41, which are respectively connected to the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 is connected to the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 at the same time, the high-pressure oil flows from the P port and the B port of the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 through the high-pressure filter 42 into the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 and flows to the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 respectively. The high-pressure oil flows through the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, and then flows to the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401. The high-pressure oil opens the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 at the same time. The hydraulic oil in the three oil chambers of the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder passes through the B port and the A port of the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400, and flows through the A port and the T port of the first electromagnetic reversing valve 440 and then flows back to the oil tank 54. The electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 receives the clockwise or counterclockwise fin-turning instruction of the electronic control equipment, and then controls the first fin-turning cylinder and the second fin-turning cylinder to push and pull the fin handle 2 alternately, so that the fin handle 2 drives the fin shaft to rotate.

[0097] Step 2.1: When the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 receives the clockwise fin rotation instruction from the electronic control equipment, the P port and B port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 are connected, and the A port and T port are connected. The high-pressure oil passes through the P port and B port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 and enters the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404, and enters the two oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder and the one oil chamber of the second fin rotation cylinder through the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404. The hydraulic oil in the one oil chamber of the first fin rotation cylinder and the two oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder enters the A port and T port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 through the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and then flows back to the oil tank 54. At this time, the high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder pushes the first piston and the first push rod, thereby generating thrust on one end of the fin handle 2. The high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder compresses the first piston and drives the first push rod to move into the oil chamber, thereby generating pulling force on the other end of the fin handle 2.

[0098] Step 2.2: When the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 receives the counterclockwise fin rotation instruction from the electronic control device, the P port and the A port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 are connected, and the B port and the T port are connected. The high-pressure oil passes through the P port and the A port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 and enters the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401, and enters the first oil chamber of the first fin rotation cylinder and the second oil chamber of the second fin rotation cylinder through the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401. The hydraulic oil in the two oil chambers of the first fin rotation cylinder and the one oil chamber of the second fin rotation cylinder enters the B port and the T port of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 through the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 and then flows back to the oil tank 54. At this time, the high-pressure oil in the one oil chamber of the first fin rotation cylinder compresses the first piston and drives the first push rod to move into the oil chamber, thereby generating a pulling force on the other end of the fin handle 2. The high-pressure oil in the two oil chambers of the second fin rotation cylinder pushes the first piston and the first push rod, thereby generating a thrust on one end of the fin handle 2.

[0099] Step 3: Locking action; the locking action is performed when the equipment is shut down, the system issues a shutdown command, the fin turning command of the electro-hydraulic servo valve 41 is released, and the passage from port B to port A of the second hydraulically controlled one-way valve 401 and the fifth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 404 is closed, forming a hydraulic lock, closing the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber of the first fin turning cylinder, the first oil chamber and the second oil chamber of the second fin turning cylinder 31, reducing the swing of the fin handle 2; the first solenoid reversing valve 440 and the second solenoid reversing valve 441 are powered off, the P port of the first solenoid reversing valve 440 is connected to the A port, and the high-pressure oil of the first solenoid reversing valve 440 flows from the P port to the A port, and the high-pressure oil passes through the first solenoid reversing valve 440 into the three oil chambers of the first fin turning cylinder and the second fin turning cylinder, and is also connected to the third hydraulically controlled one-way valve 402 and the fourth hydraulically controlled one-way valve 403, opening the first fin turning cylinder The first and second oil chambers of the oil cylinder, the first and second oil chambers of the second fin rotating cylinder 31, and the effective working area of ​​the three oil chamber pistons of the first fin rotating cylinder and the second fin rotating cylinder are the same, so that the fin handle 2 is in a horizontal state, and the pin hole of the fin handle 2 is aligned with the telescopic pin of the locking mechanism 1; the motor 50 stops rotating, and the electromagnetic overflow valve 45 unloads the system pressure after being energized, and the passage from port B to port A in the first hydraulically controlled one-way valve 400 is closed. The three oil chambers of the first fin rotating cylinder and the three oil chambers of the second fin rotating cylinder maintain the preset pressure, and the fin handle 2 remains in a horizontal state; the B port and the T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve 441 are connected, and the oil in the locking mechanism 1 flows back to the oil tank 54 through the B port and the T port of the second electromagnetic reversing valve 441, and the locking mechanism 1 inserts the telescopic pin into the pin hole of the fin handle 2 under the action of the internal spring force to lock the fin handle 2.
