Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic control of agricultural machinery, and specifically to a hydraulic control system for a potato sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Potato sorting machines can experience mechanical vibrations or instability during operation. Excessive vibration can damage the potatoes, negatively impacting their storage quality. Therefore, to ensure reliable and stable operation and smooth adjustment of the working state, a hydraulic control system is adopted. This hydraulic control system features multiple oil circuits that do not interfere with each other. It also includes a radiator and filter to reduce oil consumption and the probability of operational instability, thereby improving work efficiency and stability. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a reliable hydraulic control system for a potato sorting machine that can effectively perform potato sorting and cleaning tasks.
[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: It includes a hydraulic pump station, a relief valve, a check valve, a manual directional valve A, a manual directional valve B, a throttle valve, a dual-hydraulic control check valve, a telescopic cylinder, speed control valve A, speed control valve B, speed control valve C, speed control valve D, hydraulic motor I, hydraulic motor II, hydraulic motor III, hydraulic motor IV, hydraulic motor V, hydraulic motor VI, conveyor motor I, conveyor motor II, a loading motor, a quick-connect coupling, a radiator, a filter, and an oil tank. The invention is characterized in that: the hydraulic pump station's oil circuit outlet is provided with three parallel control oil circuits; the first parallel oil circuit is connected to the relief valve, and the second parallel oil circuit is connected to the manual directional valve. The first oil port of the manual directional valve A is connected to the third oil circuit in parallel with the manual directional valve B. The manual directional valve A is a three-position six-way manual directional valve. The first oil port of the manual directional valve A is connected to the outlet of the second oil circuit in parallel. The second oil port of the manual directional valve A is connected to the outlet of the second oil circuit via a check valve. The third oil port of the manual directional valve A is connected to the return oil circuit. The fourth oil port of the manual directional valve A is connected to speed control valves A, B, C, and D. The fourth oil port of the manual directional valve A is also connected to the P inlet of speed control valve A. The A port of speed control valve A is connected to the sixth oil port of the manual directional valve A via a check valve and then connected to hydraulic motor I. Hydraulic motors III and V are then connected to the return oil circuit. The B port of speed control valve A is connected to the P inlet of speed control valve B. The A port of speed control valve B is connected to the 5th port of manual directional valve A via a check valve, then to hydraulic motors II, IV, and VI, and finally to the return oil circuit. The B port of speed control valve B is connected to the P inlet of speed control valve C. The A port of speed control valve C is connected to the feeding motor and then to the return oil circuit. The B port of speed control valve C is connected to the P inlet of speed control valve D. The A port of speed control valve D is connected to conveyor motor I via a quick-connect coupling and then to the return oil circuit via another quick-connect coupling. Speed control valve D... Port B of the manual directional valve is connected to the conveyor motor II via a quick-connect coupling, and then to the return oil circuit via another quick-connect coupling. The manual directional valve B is a three-position, six-way manual directional valve. Port 1 of the manual directional valve B is connected to the outlet of the third oil circuit in parallel. Port 2 of the manual directional valve B is connected to the outlet of the third oil circuit via a check valve. Port 3 and Port 4 of the manual directional valve B are connected to the return oil circuit. Port 5 of the manual directional valve B is connected to the rodless chamber port of the telescopic cylinder via a throttle valve. Port 6 of the manual directional valve B is connected to the rod chamber port of the telescopic cylinder via a throttle valve. Port P of the overflow valve is connected to the outlet of the first oil circuit in parallel, and port T of the overflow valve is connected to the return oil circuit.
[0005] The oil return circuit is connected to the radiator, filter and oil tank.
[0006] Its working principle is as follows: The hydraulic control system uses a hydraulic pump station as a power source and sets up three parallel oil circuits. The first parallel oil circuit is connected to an overflow valve to stabilize the pressure of the entire hydraulic system and increase the reliability of the system.
[0007] The second parallel hydraulic circuit connects to a three-position six-way manual directional valve A to regulate the operation of various parts of the potato conveying and sorting machine. When the hydraulic system's hydraulic pump station is powered on, the feeding motor rotates normally, as do hydraulic motors I, II, III, IV, V, and VI, and conveying motors I and II, ensuring that all lines of the potato conveying and sorting machine can transport potatoes normally. Four speed control valves are connected in series in the hydraulic circuit to facilitate speed adjustment of each conveying line during operation. Speed control valve A adjusts the speed of hydraulic motors I, III, and V; speed control valve B adjusts the speed of hydraulic motors II, IV, and VI; speed control valve C adjusts the speed of the feeding motor; and speed control valve D adjusts the speed of conveying motors I and II. When the circuits controlled by hydraulic motors I, III, and V become clogged or tangled, pressing down the A handle of the manual directional valve (connected in parallel) changes the hydraulic flow direction, directing all fluid to port B of manual directional valve A. This stops the feeding motor and conveyor motors I and II, while hydraulic motors II, IV, and VI remain stationary, and hydraulic motors I, III, and V accelerate. Conversely, when the circuits controlled by hydraulic motors II, IV, and VI become clogged or tangled, raising the A handle of manual directional valve changes the hydraulic flow direction, directing all fluid to port A of manual directional valve A. This again stops the feeding motor and conveyor motors I and II, while hydraulic motors I, III, and V remain stationary, and hydraulic motors II, IV, and VI accelerate. This controlled operation effectively avoids potato damage and poor impurity separation caused by clogging and tangling during potato sorting, laying a foundation for better storage quality after warehousing.
[0008] The third parallel hydraulic circuit connects to a three-position six-way manual directional valve B to control the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinders in the potato conveying and sorting machine. A throttle valve is connected in the circuit to control the cylinder's operating speed, and a double-hydraulic-controlled check valve ensures the stability of the hydraulic cylinder's extension and retraction position. The extension and retraction cylinder is mainly used to adjust the gap between the sorting rollers. When the handle of manual directional valve B is raised, the extension and retraction cylinder rises, increasing the gap between the sorting rollers; when the handle of manual directional valve B is pressed down, the extension and retraction cylinder descends, decreasing the gap between the sorting rollers. Adjusting the gap allows for the removal of soil clods and impurities from the potatoes, as well as the grading of the potatoes by size. Attached Figure Description
