Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic systems, and particularly to an electro-hydraulic multi-way valve with integrated slewing control and a crane. Background Art
[0002] For medium and small tonnage cranes, a load sensing system controlled by a load sensing pump + load sensing valve is mostly adopted at present. The load sensing valve mostly adopts post-valve compensation and integrates four working connections, namely telescopic, luffing up and down, main hoist rope winding and unwinding, and auxiliary hoist rope winding and unwinding. Some multi-way valves integrate additional functions such as motor brake valves and telescopic integrated valves.
[0003] Since the slewing is supplied with oil separately by a gear pump, the slewing mechanism has separate control valves, slewing buffer valves, and free slewing valves for control, and a dedicated make-up oil pump is required to supply oil for the hoisting operation. However, this method has its technical defects: the hydraulic system is complex, the integration degree is low, the occupied space is large, the types of valve groups are numerous, the pipeline connections are messy, and the economic cost is high. In this regard, the control oil circuit generally sets up an independent auxiliary pump to provide control oil. In most cases, the crane is in standby operation, and at this time, the auxiliary pump is not required for adjustment and control. However, if the auxiliary pump runs all the time, it will inevitably cause energy loss, and adding an auxiliary pump will also increase the economic cost. Summary of the Invention

The post-valve compensation valve is a three-position three-way valve. The oil in the main oil circuit and the load-sensing oil circuit acts on both ends of the post-valve compensation valve. A spring is also provided on the side of the post-valve compensation valve close to the load-sensing oil circuit.

The secondary overflow valve is connected in parallel with the first working oil port and the second working oil port of the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve to protect the load.
[0045] Moreover, the secondary overflow valve adds an oil replenishment function to overcome the condition of insufficient oil flow supply during load movement.
[0046] It can be understood that the auxiliary hoisting working union 5 is similar in function to the telescopic working union 2. The difference between them is that the secondary overflow valve of the auxiliary hoisting working union 5 adds an oil replenishment function, which can meet the condition of insufficient oil flow supply during load movement.
[0047] The main hoisting working union 6 includes: an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve, a secondary overflow valve, a hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve, and a post-valve compensation valve.

[0049] It can be understood that the main hoisting working union 6 is similar in function to the auxiliary hoisting working union 5. The difference between them is that the main hoisting working union 6 is equipped with a third shuttle valve.
[0050] The slewing working union 7 includes: an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve, a hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve, a safety valve, a buffer valve, a free slewing valve, and a fourth shuttle valve. Among them, the inlet port of the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve is connected to the pilot oil circuit, and the working oil port of the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve is connected to the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve. Thus, by changing the control current value of the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve, the pilot control pressure of the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve can be changed, and further the main spool stroke and the flow rate of the working oil port can be controlled. For example, when the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve is in the neutral position, the inlet port communicates with the return port. The return port is connected to the main return port of the system return oil circuit, and at the same time, it can supply oil to the main hoist and auxiliary hoist. The inlet port of the safety valve is connected to the first outlet port of the fourth shuttle valve, and the outlet port of the safety valve is connected to the main return port of the system return oil circuit for protecting the system.

When the value exceeds the spring setting value, the first working oil port A and the second working oil port B communicate to balance the flow rate and pressure between the balance oil ports and reduce the impact. The free slewing valve 42 is a two-position two-way solenoid valve. When the free slewing valve 42 is energized, the working oil circuits controlled by the free slewing valve 42 at both ends can be made to communicate.
[0052] The third oil supply port P3 is connected to the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve, and an external power source can supply oil to the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve separately through the third oil supply port P3 to achieve separate control.

The integrated rotary control electro-hydraulic multi-way valve according to claim 4, characterized in that, The auxiliary hoisting working unit includes: an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve, a secondary overflow valve, a hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve, and a post-valve compensation valve. Among them, the inlet port of the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve is connected to the pilot oil circuit, the working oil port of the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve is connected to the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve, the post-valve compensation valve is a three-position three-way valve, the oil in the main oil circuit and the load-sensing oil circuit acts on both ends of the post-valve compensation valve, and a spring is further arranged on the side of the post-valve compensation valve close to the load-sensing oil circuit. The post-valve compensation valve is used to compare the oil pressures between the main oil circuit and the load-sensing oil circuit to ensure that the pressure difference between the two is a fixed value. The secondary overflow valve is connected in parallel with the first working oil port and the second working oil port of the hydraulically controlled proportional main spool valve to protect the load. Moreover, the secondary overflow valve adds an oil replenishing function to overcome the condition of insufficient oil supply for the load movement.
