Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of fluid transmission and control, and in particular to a hydraulic valve. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic valves are important and critical control components in hydraulic systems, controlling the flow rate, pressure, and flow direction of the hydraulic system to meet the functional requirements of the hydraulic system's actuators. The accuracy, reliability, and stability of hydraulic valves directly determine the performance of the entire hydraulic system. Therefore, to ensure system performance, it is necessary to improve the reliability of hydraulic valves and reduce their failure rate.

[0003] The key components of existing hydraulic valves are the cylindrical stepped valve core and valve body (or valve sleeve). Wear and eccentric clamping of the valve core and valve body are the main causes of failure of existing hydraulic valves. To ensure that the valve core and valve body can slide normally, the working gap between the two must be much larger than the diameter of the oil contaminant particles, which can easily allow impurities in the oil to enter the working gap, scratching the valve core surface during operation, causing wear and even jamming. Due to the existence of the jet angle at the valve core oil inlet, although the valve core cylindrical surface is provided with a pressure-equalizing groove and the valve body oil inlet annular cavity adopts a concentric structure, the valve core will still become eccentric during the movement under the action of hydraulic impact force, resulting in an unbalanced radial force on the valve core, increasing the friction resistance of movement, and easily causing the valve core to jam.

[0004] Therefore, the hydraulic valve in the above-mentioned prior art has at least the following technical problems: the valve core is easily worn by contaminants and is easily eccentrically stuck during movement.

The wide side of the first rectangle and the long side of the second rectangle are parallel and aligned, and the long side of the first rectangle and the wide side of the second rectangle are collinear.

[0057] Furthermore, the valve core 6 may be circular, elliptical or rectangular, and the boss may be cylindrical.

[0058] Furthermore, the driving device is a switching electromagnet, a proportional electromagnet or a pilot valve.

[0059] Specifically, when the drive device 1 is a switching electromagnet, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a switching valve; when the drive device 1 is a proportional electromagnet, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a proportional valve; when the drive device 1 is a pilot-stage valve, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a servo valve. Furthermore, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment can also serve as the pilot stage of other main valves, such as a servo valve.

[0060] The pressure compensation plate 3, the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7 are positioned by pin shafts, working planes and other means to ensure that the pressure compensation plate 3 can only float in the vertical direction and cannot rotate; the valve core 6 can only slide left and right and cannot rotate, thereby ensuring that the valve port of the valve core 6 (on the right side of the middle oil outlet groove n2) coincides with the opening edges of the upper valve body 2 and the lower valve body 7 (lower oil inlet groove m1 and upper oil inlet groove m3).

[0061] The working principle of the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] The high-pressure oil in the high-pressure chamber M0 flows into the low-pressure chamber N0 through the gap between the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7, and the gap between the valve core 6 and the pressure compensation plate 3 to form a pressure oil film; similarly, the oil in the working chamber N0 flows into the low-pressure chamber T0 through the gap between the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7, and the gap between the valve core 6 and the pressure compensation plate 3 to form a pressure oil film. The pressure oil film makes the gap pressures on the upper and lower end surfaces of the valve core 8 equal, thereby causing the valve core 8 to be suspended.

[0063] A pressure oil film forms between the lower end surface of the pressure compensation plate 3 and the upper end surface of the valve core 6. On the upper end surface of the pressure compensation plate 3, the oil in the low-pressure chamber T0 passes through the upper low-pressure hole t4 on the pressure compensation plate 3, covering the upper end surface of the pressure compensation plate 3 and forming a low-pressure oil film. On the other hand, the high-pressure control oil introduced through the second pressure adjustment hole U acts on the second adjustment piston 5, and the working pressure control oil introduced through the first pressure adjustment hole V acts on the first adjustment piston 4. Both the first and second adjustment pistons 4 and 5 act on the upper end surface of the pressure compensation plate 3, achieving pressure compensation.

[0064] When the driving device 1 is not in operation, the valve core 6 is in its original position, the valve core 6 is closed, the high-pressure chamber M0 is disconnected from the working chamber N0, that is, the oil inlet M is disconnected from the oil outlet N. The valve core 6 is in a suspended state due to the action of the oil film with equal pressure on its upper and lower end surfaces.

[0065] The lower end surface of the pressure compensation plate 6 is subjected to the vertical upward force of the pressure oil film, and the upper end surface of the pressure compensation plate 6 is subjected to the resultant force F of the vertical downward pressure of the first regulating piston 4 and the second regulating piston 5 and the pressure of the return oil port T on the lower end surface. The direction of the resultant force F is vertically downward. Here, the expression of the resultant force F of the upper and lower end surfaces of the pressure compensation plate 6 is ensured as follows:

[0066] F=P·S4+A·S3-P2·S2-A2·S1>0

[0067] In the above formula, P is the oil inlet pressure, A is the oil outlet pressure, P2 is the equivalent pressure of the pressure oil film distribution of the end surface clearance between the high-pressure chamber M0 and the low-pressure chamber T0 valve core 6, A2 is the equivalent pressure of the pressure oil film distribution of the end surface clearance between the working chamber N0 and the low-pressure chamber T0 valve core 6; S4 is the end surface area of ​​the second regulating piston 5, S3 is the end surface area of ​​the first regulating piston 4, S2 is the equivalent area of ​​the pressure oil film of the end surface clearance between the high-pressure chamber M0 and the low-pressure chamber T0 valve core 6, and S1 is the equivalent area of ​​the pressure oil film of the end surface clearance between the working chamber N0 and the low-pressure chamber T0 valve core 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 、 6 shown.

[0068] When F>0, the pressure on the upper end surface of the pressure compensation plate 3 is greater than the pressure on the lower end surface, and the pressure compensation plate 3 moves vertically downward to press the valve core 6, and its pressing force is F.

[0069] Assuming that the pressures at the oil inlet M and the oil outlet N remain unchanged, the required resultant force F, i.e., the clamping force of the pressure compensation plate 3 on the valve core 6, can be obtained by controlling the pressure variables P2, A2 and the area variables S4, S3, S2, and S1. This allows the clearances between the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7 and the upper and lower end surfaces of the pressure compensation plate 3 to be adjusted to be smaller than the order of magnitude of the diameter of pollutant particles, thereby preventing the entry of oil pollutants and particulate matter. At the same time, the plate-shaped valve core 6 is not prone to eccentric jamming due to being compressed during operation.

[0070] When the drive device 1 is activated, it pushes the valve core 6 to the right, the valve port is opened (i.e., the first working gap and the second working gap appear), and the high-pressure chamber M0 is connected to the working chamber N0, that is, the oil inlet M is connected to the oil outlet N. The movement of the valve core 6 has no effect on the oil film pressure distribution on the upper and lower end surfaces of the valve core 6. The valve core 6 is compressed under the action of the resultant force F under the set conditions. At this time, the end surface gap between the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7 and the pressure compensation plate 3 is very small. When the oil passes through the valve port, pollutants or particulate matter cannot enter the end surface gap, which will not cause the valve core 6 to be scratched, worn or even stuck by pollutants, thereby improving the anti-pollution ability. The valve core 6, the lower valve body 7, and the pressure compensation plate 3 are all made of ceramics and other materials with high hardness, wear resistance, low friction coefficient, and high surface finish. The end surface friction coefficient is small, and the friction and shear force that the valve core 6 needs to overcome to open and slide is small, requiring less thrust from the drive device 1.

[0071] When the drive device 1 returns to its original position, the valve core 6 slides to the left under the action of the spring 9, closing the valve port (i.e., the first and second working gaps disappear). The forces acting on the upper and lower end surfaces of the valve core 6 remain the same as at the initial moment, and the oil inlet M and the oil outlet N are disconnected, completing one working cycle. The above operation is repeated to achieve continuous operation of the hydraulic valve.

[0072] The right side of the middle oil outlet groove n2 is the valve port of the valve core 6, or the projection of the valve port on the upper surface of the valve core 6 is an oblique line, a broken line or a curve.

[0073] The geometric curve of the valve port of the plate-type valve core 6 of the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment (the projection shape of the valve port on the upper surface of the valve core 6) can be designed from a straight line to various curves such as a slant line, a broken line, a special-shaped line, a function curve, etc., to change the valve port opening gradient, thereby changing the valve port opening flow gain.

[0074] The hydraulic valve described in this embodiment can be configured as different hydraulic valves depending on the positioning of the drive device 1. When the drive device 1 is a switch solenoid, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a switch valve; when the drive device 1 is a proportional solenoid, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a proportional valve; when the drive device 1 is a pilot stage valve, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment is a servo valve, and so on. Furthermore, the hydraulic valve described in this embodiment can also serve as the pilot stage of other main valves, such as a servo valve.

[0075] A hydraulic valve described in an embodiment of the present application is provided with a pressure compensation device on the floating valve core 6, and the pressure compensation device is used to adjust the size and direction of the resultant force acting on the pressure compensation plate 3, so as to cause the pressure compensation plate 3 to move vertically downward and press the valve core 6, so that the gap between the valve core 6 and the lower valve body 7, and the valve core 6 and the pressure compensation plate 3 is smaller than the order of magnitude of the diameter of the pollutant particles, thereby preventing the entry of oil pollutants and particulate matter. At the same time, the compressed valve core is also less likely to be eccentric; it effectively solves the technical problem in the prior art that the valve core of the hydraulic valve is easily worn by pollutants and is prone to eccentric jamming during movement, so that the valve core 6 is not easily scratched, worn, or jammed by pollutants, and is not prone to eccentric jamming during movement, thereby achieving the technical effect of the hydraulic valve being durable and easy to use.

[0076] The above one or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application have at least one or more of the following technical effects:

[0077] A hydraulic valve described in an embodiment of the present application is configured to provide a pressure compensation plate on a floating valve core, and a pressure compensation device on the pressure compensation plate. The pressure compensation device is adjusted to cause the pressure compensation plate to move downward and press the valve core, so that an infinitely small gap can be achieved between the upper and lower end surfaces of the valve core, thereby preventing oil contaminants and particulate matter from entering the working gap. At the same time, the compressed valve core is also less likely to become eccentric. This effectively solves the technical problem in the prior art that the valve core of the hydraulic valve is easily worn by contaminants and is prone to eccentric jamming during movement, so that the valve core 6 is not easily scratched, worn, or jammed by contaminants and is not prone to eccentric jamming during movement, thereby achieving the technical effect of a durable and easy-to-use hydraulic valve.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
