[0018] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0019] COMBINATION Figures 1 to 3 The digital piston motor of the first embodiment of the present application mainly comprises a piston motor 1, a reduction section 2, a coupling section 3, a digital valve 4 and a stepping motor 5 connected in series, and has a straight column shape as a whole.

[0020] The piston motor 1 is provided with a mounting seat 6 at the front end. The mounting seat 6 has a seat cover 61, a first seat plate 62 and a second seat plate 63 integrally formed on the outer periphery of the seat cover 61.

[0021] The seat cover 61 is provided with a bearing 64 for supporting the motor shaft 11. The seat cover 61 is positioned and fitted with the stepped surface of the front cover of the piston motor 1. For example, the mounting seat 6 is pressed and fitted on the stepped surface of the front cover after being heated, and an interference fit is formed between the seat cover 61 and the stepped surface of the front cover after cooling.

[0022] The first seat plate 62 and the second seat plate 63 are both quadrilaterals, and are arranged axially forward and backward and circumferentially staggered by 45°.

[0023] The first seat plate 62 is provided with mounting notches at the four corners, for mounting the digital piston motor on the main machine by screws. The second seat plate 63 is connected with the front cover of the piston motor 1 by four corner screws.

[0024] The structure design of the mounting seat 6 improves the installation stress condition of the slender structure (digital piston motor).

[0025] The deceleration section 2, the connecting section 3 and the digital valve 4 have equal outer contour sizes, preferably a regular quadrilateral contour. The deceleration section 2 is of a modular design, and the deceleration mechanism is a planetary gear deceleration mechanism to realize coaxial large transmission ratio deceleration, for example, a deceleration ratio of 20, and the plunger motor is 2000r / min, and after deceleration by the deceleration section, the speed is 100r / min.

[0026] The recessed areas 21 are formed on the four corners of the outer peripheral wall of the deceleration section 2, and are located at the middle position of the deceleration section 2, and are used for mounting front and rear screws.

[0027] The front screws are used for screwing the deceleration section with the plunger motor, and the rear screws are used for screwing the deceleration section with the connecting section 3. The front and rear outer peripheral walls of each recessed area are provided with lateral openings 22, so that the screws enter the screw holes through the lateral openings. By providing the lateral openings, the axial length of the recessed area is greatly shortened.

[0028] The connecting section 3 comprises a shell section 31 and a connecting piece 32, and the output shaft 23 of the deceleration section 2 is connected with the feedback shaft 41 of the digital valve 4 through the connecting piece 32.

[0029] The recessed areas 42 are also formed on the four corners of the outer peripheral wall of the digital valve 4, and are used for screw mounting, and the screws are used for screwing the digital valve 4 with the connecting section 3.

[0030] The digital valve has an oil inlet port P and an oil return port O, and working oil ports A and B. The A port and the B port of the digital valve are connected with the plunger motor oil ports K and H respectively through pipelines.

[0031] The driving motor controls the oil supply of the plunger motor by controlling the rotation of the valve core of the digital valve, and the motor speed is reduced through the deceleration section and is fed back to the nut sleeve of the digital valve through the feedback shaft. One end of the valve core is threadedly connected with the nut sleeve, and the motor speed and the rotation direction are controlled through the hydraulic oil by changing the driving rotation direction and the motor speed. If the rotation angle of the driving motor is controlled, the rotation angle of the plunger motor can be correspondingly controlled. The purpose of continuously adjusting the motor rotation direction, speed and angle according to the working condition requirements is achieved. The above-mentioned hydraulic valve can be purchased from Beijing Yimei Technology Co., Ltd.

[0032] Combined with reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the digital plunger motor of the second embodiment of the present application is sequentially connected by the plunger motor 1, the deceleration section 2, the connecting section 3, the digital valve 4 and the stepping motor 5, and the whole is in a right angle shape to adapt to the requirement of smaller installation space.

[0033] The deceleration section 2 is mainly composed of a right-angle decelerator and a right-angle adapter 2b, wherein the left end of the right-angle adapter 2b is connected with the plunger motor 1 in series, and the lower end of the right-angle adapter 2b is connected with the upper end of the connecting section 3 through a screw. The top and back of the right-angle adapter 2b are provided with installation grooves for installing the right-angle decelerator.

[0034] The deceleration mechanism of the right-angle decelerator is a planetary gear deceleration mechanism, so as to realize 90° rotation angle and large transmission ratio deceleration, for example, the deceleration ratio is 15.

[0035] The front end of the plunger motor 1 is provided with a mounting seat 6, the mounting seat 6 has a seat cover 65 and a seat plate 66, and the lengthened seat cover 65 is provided with a bearing 64 for supporting the lengthened motor rotating shaft 11. The left and right sides of the seat plate 66 are provided with lugs 67, and the lugs 67 are connected with an external main machine through screws.

[0036] According to the digital plunger motor, the hydraulic pump in the hydraulic system of the crawler crane delivers hydraulic oil to the plunger motor for controlling the rotating mechanism through the digital valve, the rotating direction, the rotating speed and the rotating angle of the motor can be continuously adjusted according to the working condition by operating the digital valve control rod, and the engineering requirement of the intelligent control of the rotating of the crawler crane is realized.

[0037] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
