TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydraulic control, in particular to a gravity energy storage multi-stage pressure hydraulic control system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the gravity energy storage power generation system, there is a demand for lifting and carrying heavy objects. In order to realize the lifting of large-scale heavy objects from low to high positions and the orderly placement, a lifting system is needed. The system can lift / descend heavy objects, and can place the heavy objects on the high / low load beam through the horizontal moving system. The system requires the functions of lifting / descending heavy objects, horizontal moving of heavy objects and horizontal precise positioning.
[0003] For example, patent CN201820620050.3 "Unloading machine hydraulic system" discloses an unloading machine hydraulic system, which comprises an oil tank, a first reversing valve, a second reversing valve, a third reversing valve, a fourth reversing valve, a fifth reversing valve, a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder. The unloading machine hydraulic system can open the warehouse door to send the goods into the warehouse while weighing, reducing the error caused by the intermediate link, saving time, and achieving the integration of taking goods, weighing and entering the warehouse; but the working pressure of each oil cylinder in the system is the same, and multiple oil cylinders cannot work at different pressures, nor does it have a pressure maintaining function.
[0004] In the gravity energy storage power generation system, the main generator is connected to the elevator equipment through a transmission shaft system, which includes a hydraulic clutch and a hydraulic brake. These devices are controlled by multiple oil cylinders for power transmission;
[0005] Since the gravity energy storage system requires high-speed vertical lifting of heavy objects weighing dozens of tons, the hydraulic clutch and the hydraulic brake need to move simultaneously and work in a certain time sequence to achieve the disconnection of the power clutch between the lifting equipment and the main generator, hydraulic braking and hydraulic brake release-closing of the clutch, and the working period of each oil cylinder is within 0.5s;
[0006] In addition, since the working pressure of the hydraulic clutch oil cylinder is usually only 0.4MPa-1.1Mpa, while the working pressure of the hydraulic brake oil cylinder reaches 10-15MPa, both oil cylinders need to work normally in the same hydraulic system, and the hydraulic system needs to accurately supply hydraulic oil of different pressure levels;
[0007] Finally, the capacity of the hydraulic clutch and the hydraulic brake is small, both within 0.5L, so the conventional flow control system will cause the oil cylinder pressure to be too high in a very short time, damaging the seal of the low-pressure oil cylinder. Therefore, a hydraulic system is needed to realize the simultaneous and independent control of multiple oil cylinders at different pressures. SUMMARY
[0008] The application aims to provide a gravity energy storage multi-stage pressure hydraulic control system, which can realize simultaneous and independent control of multiple oil cylinders under different pressures, and can accurately control the working pressure of each oil cylinder to reach the target value in a short time.
[0009] The above technical purpose of the application is achieved by the following technical scheme:
[0010] A gravity energy storage multi-stage pressure hydraulic control system comprises an oil tank, the oil tank is connected to an oil pump, the oil outlet end of the oil pump is connected to a low-pressure circuit and a high-pressure circuit,
[0011] The low-pressure circuit is connected to a first pressure reducing valve, the outlet end of the first pressure reducing valve is connected to at least two low-pressure branches, the high-pressure circuit is connected to a branch valve for controlling opening and closing, the other end of the branch valve is connected to a corresponding branch proportional pressure valve, and the branch proportional pressure valve is connected to the oil inlet of a corresponding working oil cylinder.
[0012] The oil inlet of the corresponding working oil cylinder is also connected to a throttle valve, the other end of the throttle valve is also connected to a circuit valve for controlling opening and closing, and the other end of the circuit valve is connected to the oil tank.

[0014] Further, the oil outlet end of the oil pump is connected to a first branch and a second branch, the second branch is connected to the low-pressure circuit and the high-pressure circuit, and the first branch is connected to a supplementary oil switch valve for controlling opening and closing, and the other end of the supplementary oil switch valve is connected to an energy accumulator.
[0015] Further, a gas pressure sensor is installed on the energy accumulator.
[0016] Further, the oil inlets of the working oil cylinders and the oil tank are connected and controlled by unloading valves.
[0017] Further, a second overflow valve is connected between the branch proportional pressure valve in the high-pressure circuit and the oil cylinder.
[0018] Further, the circuit valve in the high-pressure circuit is connected to a return oil filter away from the throttle valve, and the oil tank is connected to the other end of the return oil filter.
[0019] Further, one end of the overflow valve is connected to the branch proportional pressure valve in the high-pressure circuit, and the other end is connected to the inlet end of the return oil filter.
[0020] Further, the outlet end of the high-pressure filter is also connected in parallel with a hand pump, and the other end of the hand pump is connected to the oil tank.
[0021] Further, the oil inlet of the working oil cylinder is also connected with a pressure sensor to monitor the working pressure at the oil inlet of the oil cylinder.
[0022] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:
[0023] 1. The present application uses the first pressure reducing valve to realize the simultaneous work of two-stage oil pressure in the system, and the working pressure of the first branch and the second branch oil cylinder can be set according to the needs, and the number of oil cylinders is not limited.
[0024] 2. In the high-pressure circuit and the low-pressure circuit, the first branch proportional pressure valve, the second branch proportional pressure valve and the third branch proportional pressure reducing valve are used for proportional fine adjustment of the working pressure, realizing accurate pressure control, and the cooperative control of devices such as clutches and brakes that require accurate control of output can be realized.
[0025] 3. Through the combination of the first circuit valve and the first throttle valve, when the first branch valve and the first branch proportional pressure valve are turned on, the first circuit valve is opened synchronously, so that the oil pressure entering the oil cylinder is further reduced by discharging oil through the first throttle valve, and the overloading of the oil cylinder is prevented.
[0026] The flow capacity of the first throttle valve can be set in advance, so that the system can quickly establish appropriate pressure during operation; similarly, the second throttle valve and the third throttle valve also have similar effects, and are respectively used for oil cylinders under different working pressures to realize accurate pressure control of different pressure levels.
[0027] 4. The hydraulic oil is directly connected back to the oil tank through the first unloading valve, which can realize rapid pressure unloading of the system and ensure that the equipment can quickly act under special circumstances.

The accumulator can provide power oil for the system; when used, first connect the oil supplementing switch valve (solenoid valve), supplement the accumulator with the oil pump, and when the set working pressure is reached, the oil pump can stop working, and the accumulator provides pressure to the system. Since the present system is a pressure control system, it does not require a large amount of oil, so the use of the accumulator can save energy consumption; the gas pressure relay can detect the gas pressure in the accumulator and alarm when the gas pressure is insufficient, realizing automatic control of the entire system.
[0029] The hydraulic system designed in the present application is used to drive a transmission shaft system with multiple different working pressures.

This system has the advantages of high control accuracy, low cost, and simple control, and is particularly suitable for gravity energy storage, power generation, lifting and other fields.
