Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fluid transmission technology, especially the field of hydraulic transmission technology, and particularly relates to a control valve, a reversing valve and a control system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fluid transmission technology is widely used in various industries. It is particularly widely used in the field of engineering machinery. Engineering machinery (such as loaders, excavators, cranes, concrete pump trucks, etc. with hydraulic systems) has the advantages of high work efficiency and strong work capacity and is widely used. It can be said that the emergence of engineering machinery makes the operation of building high-rise buildings, erecting high-speed rails, and installing some special equipment simpler, more efficient, more labor-saving, and cost-saving, and even can complete the work that was previously impossible. In the process of modernization, engineering machinery plays a vital role. Although the existing engineering machinery can meet the requirements of most engineering, most of the existing engineering machinery needs to be operated by the operator on site to implement the relevant work. In some special working conditions and high-risk application scenarios, it may even pose a great threat to the life of the operator. Even if individual hydraulic systems can be remotely operated by artificial means through sensing technology, due to the nonlinear relationship between flow and pressure at the throttle, it is difficult to establish a linear correspondence between the flow or pressure and the modern electric control pulse signal, thereby making it difficult to achieve intelligent control through the control program of the chip. At most, it can achieve remote analog control by a specific person. Taking excavators as an example, hydraulic control excavators are indispensable mechanical equipment in various earthwork construction, especially in special working conditions such as earthquake relief, toxic environment, dangerous tunnel, fire fighting and rescue, cliff opening, and explosion site cleaning. It poses a great danger to the operator. If the remote and intelligent control operation of engineering machinery can be realized, the engineering machinery will not only liberate labor and improve work safety, but also greatly improve the work capacity of the engineering machinery and reduce the cost of use and maintenance. However, to realize the intelligent control of equipment containing a hydraulic control system, it is necessary to first realize the discretization and digitization of the hydraulic system. The existing hydraulic control system is limited by the structure, function defects of the constituent elements and the combination defects between the components, which makes the various functions of the hydraulic control system coupled and restricted with each other, making it difficult to realize the discretization and digitization of the hydraulic medium. Under the existing technical strength, the intelligent control of the hydraulic control system is only a fitting algorithm that is constantly adjusted, and it is not easy to realize quantitative control. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink and redesign the various constituent elements and the combination between the elements contained in the existing hydraulic control system.

[0003] The existing reversing valve all comprises a valve body and a valve core matched with the valve body, and the number of working positions of the valve core staying in the valve body is two, three or the like, and the number of oil passages connected with the valve body is two, three, four and six or the like. However, no matter what kind of reversing valve is, the two working substance inlets and outlets of the executing element are mostly simultaneously associated and coupled, and the executing element cannot be in the on state at one working substance inlet and outlet, and the other working substance inlet and outlet can be in any state including the off state, the on state and the state between the two states, which can be flexibly selected. Therefore, the existing reversing valve only has the linkage reversing function, and does not have the advantage of independent controllability of the two load ports of the executing element. In some working conditions, due to the existence of liquid power, when the executing element is braked, the hydraulic impact damage of the hydraulic system pipeline or element is often caused. In addition, the existing independent oil port control valve still adopts the spool valve structure, and the reversing valve often has the phenomenon of hydraulic clamping, the reversing dead zone is large, and the requirement for the cleanliness of oil is high, which is one of the important reasons affecting the application of the reversing valve in the control system.

[0004] In order to adapt to the high pressure, discretization, digitization and intelligent control of the hydraulic control system, a new type of discretization and digitization control system needs to be combined to innovatively conceive and design the existing reversing valve, so as to overcome the problems of the existing reversing valve, such as large reversing dead zone, many coupling factors in control and lack of flexible adaptation to the variable working conditions of the executing element. Therefore, the applicant proposes a reversing valve capable of independently controlling the two inlets and outlets of the executing element and having a brake function.

[0005] It should be noted that the above content belongs to the technical cognition range of the inventor, and does not necessarily constitute the prior art. SUMMARY
