The end away from the proportional electromagnet 3 serves as the working oil port A15.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the return port T13 is located on the valve sleeve 1 near the end of the proportional electromagnet 3, and the inlet port P12 is located on the valve sleeve 1 away from the end of the proportional electromagnet 3.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the valve sleeve 1 is also provided with a plurality of annular grooves 16, and a corresponding sealing ring 17 is fitted inside the annular grooves 16.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the valve sleeve 1 is also provided with a first connecting hole 18, and the two ends of the first connecting hole 18 are respectively connected to the oil return port T13 and the internal cavity of the proportional electromagnet 3.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the valve core 2 has a blind hole 24 along its length. The valve core 2 at the position of the control cavity 11 also has a first through hole 25 along the vertical direction. The first through hole 25 is connected to the blind hole 24. The first through hole 25 and the blind hole 24 are used to connect the working oil port A15 and the annular groove 23.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, a plurality of second through holes 26 are also provided along the length direction on the valve core 2 near the working oil port A15. The second through holes 26 are used to connect the working oil port A15 and the annular groove 23.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a return spring 21 is also sleeved on one end of the valve core 2 near the push rod 4.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a sealing ring 17 is also fitted at the connection between the valve sleeve 1 and the proportional electromagnet 3.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the valve core 2 is also provided with a retaining ring 27, which is located between the large and small diameters of the stepped through hole 14 inside the spring seat 22, thereby restricting the sliding position of the spring seat 22.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a housing 5 is also provided on the outside of the proportional electromagnet 3.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] When the proportional electromagnet 3 is not energized, the valve core 2 is located on the far right under the action of the return spring 21, and is in close contact with the push rod 4. At this time, the return port T13 is connected to the working port A15 through the annular groove 23 and the second through hole 26, and the control cavity 11 is connected to the working port A15 through the first through hole 25 and the blind hole 24. At this time, the pressure at the working port A15 is the minimum, which is equal to the pressure at the return port T13.

[0044] When the proportional electromagnet 3 receives an input current, it generates a corresponding electromagnetic force. Under the action of this electromagnetic force, the valve core 2 overcomes the spring force of the return spring 21 and moves to the left, causing the annular groove 23 to move to the oil inlet P12. The working oil port A15 is connected to the oil inlet P12 through the second through hole 26 and the annular groove 23, and also connected to the control chamber 11 through the blind hole 24 and the first through hole 25. The return oil port T13 is closed. At this time, the pressure in the working oil port A15 and the control chamber 11 will increase under the action of the oil inlet P12. When the pressure increases to a certain level, the valve core 2 moves to the right, and the spring force of the return spring 21, the electromagnetic force of the proportional electromagnet 3, the feedback fluid pressure at the working oil port A15, and the feedback fluid pressure at the control chamber 11 reach a new equilibrium at the new position. Figure 7 As shown. At this time, the working port A15, the return port T13, and the inlet port P12 are all in a cut-off state, and a certain pressure can be maintained at the working port A15. As the excitation current increases, the electromagnetic force output by the proportional electromagnet 3 also increases, eventually causing the pressure at the working port A15 to increase proportionally. Through the above process, the proportional pressure reducing valve achieves proportional control of the output pressure.

[0045] At this time, the force balance equation of the valve core 2 is:

[0046]

[0047] In the formula, F s The spring force F is the return spring 21. e p is the electromagnetic force output by proportional electromagnet 3. A The pressure at the working oil port A15 is denoted by D; the diameter of the large diameter end face of valve core 2 is denoted by d; and the height of control chamber 11 is denoted by d.

[0048] The electromagnetic force F generated by the proportional electromagnet 3 e The approximate relationship with the excitation current i is:

[0049] F e =k*i;

[0050] In the formula, k is the proportionality coefficient between the output electromagnetic force of the proportional electromagnet 3 and the excitation current, and its value is positive; i is the excitation current of the proportional electromagnet 3.

[0051] The spring force F of the reset spring 21 s for:

[0052] F s =k s *Δx2;

[0053] In the formula, k s Δx2 represents the spring stiffness of the return spring 21; Δx2 represents the compression of the return spring 21.

[0054] Therefore, the pressure at the working oil port A15 can be expressed as:

[0055]

[0056] Since the structures of valve core 2 and valve sleeve 1 are fixed, the large-diameter end face diameter D of valve core 2 and the height d of control cavity 11 are constant values.

[0057] Due to the compression Δx2 of the return spring 21 and the stiffness k of the return spring 21 s The force is very small, so the spring force of the return spring 21 can be approximated as constant.

[0058] Therefore, as the excitation current i of the proportional electromagnet 3 continuously increases, the pressure p at the working oil port A15 increases. A Increase proportionally.

[0059] The embodiments and descriptions above are merely illustrative of the principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
