Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a linear walking system and a full-electric control linear walking valve, belonging to the technical field of engineering machinery. BACKGROUND

[0002] Excavators are widely used in almost all engineering fields due to high technology integration, high efficiency, energy saving, good controllability and multi-functionality. With the development of engineering construction, the working conditions of excavators are becoming more and more complex, which puts forward higher and higher requirements for the controllability of excavators. For medium and large-sized hydraulic excavators above 13T, a double-pump double-circuit hydraulic multi-way main valve is usually used, and when the excavator is in a combined action, reasonable flow distribution is required. Most of the main valves used in excavators use one main pump to supply oil to the left walking, boom 1, bucket and stick 2, and the other main pump to supply oil to the right walking, slewing, boom 2, standby and stick 1. When the two main pumps supply oil to the left and right walking motors respectively, straight-line walking can be easily realized. However, when the excavator is in a working state, since the main pump needs to supply oil to the walking motor and the executing cylinder or slewing motor, it is difficult to ensure equal flow to the left and right walking motors, so it is difficult to realize the straight-line walking function of the excavator, and the deviation is serious.

[0003] For the bucket combined flow working condition, a bucket built-in or externally connected bucket combined flow valve (valve core) is usually used to realize double-pump flow supply to the bucket association, which increases the difficulty of valve body casting. Excavators often work in harsh and complex working conditions, such as excavators sinking in a pit, walking (forward, backward) on a slope with a large slope while working (boom lifting and lowering, bucket digging, stick retracting and swinging, etc.). At this time, the walking speed of the excavator is very slow or the walking stops, and the walking function and coordination of the whole machine are greatly challenged.

[0004] Excavators have many executing mechanisms and complex action working conditions. In order to realize the functions of bucket combined flow, straight-line walking, walking anti-deviation and walking priority, more working associations need to be set and more logic control blocks need to be built-in or externally connected in the valve body to realize the redistribution of system flow and ensure the coordination and controllability of the whole machine. For example, a bucket combined flow association (valve), a priority valve core, a straight-line walking valve core, a bucket logic valve block, a slewing logic valve block and a stick logic valve block are added to the main valve of the excavator.

[0005] The current straight-line walking and walking priority technologies of excavators have the following shortcomings:

[0006] 1. The addition of main valve working associations will cause the main valve structure to be complex, increase the processing difficulty, especially for the throttle control system multi-way valve. At the same time, the addition of main valve working associations will increase the volume of the main valve and increase the manufacturing cost.

[0007] 2. In the existing throttling system, the bucket flow is achieved by the internal bypass cut-off valve and the bucket flow valve, which causes the main valve structure to be complex and the main valve volume to be increased;

[0008] 3. In the load sensing system, the bucket flow is achieved by adding a flow valve block, which causes the main valve structure to be complex and increases the difficulty of the main valve logic control;

[0009] 4. The addition of priority valve cores, bucket logic valve blocks, swing logic valve blocks, and stick logic valve blocks causes the main valve structure to be complex, increases the main valve body volume, and increases the manufacturing cost;

[0010] 5. In the throttling system or load sensing system, the straight travel valve core adopts a long valve core structure and does not have a bucket flow function, the valve core utilization rate is low, and the valve body space is large;

[0011] 6. In the throttling control system multi-way valve, the travel priority function is achieved by setting a travel priority throttling valve, which causes the travel priority throttling valve to always be in a throttling state, reduces the system efficiency, and increases the use cost of the whole machine. SUMMARY

[0012] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a straight travel system and a full electric control straight travel valve applied to a double pump double circuit hydraulic system, which can complete the bucket flow function inside the straight travel valve core, ensure the bucket digging speed, reasonably control the flow according to the speed demand of each actuator of the excavator during straight travel under complex working conditions, ensure the straight travel and anti-deviation of the whole machine, utilize the hydraulic travel priority valve to make more flow flow into the travel association, and ensure the travel priority function. The straight travel valve adopts electro-hydraulic proportional control, has multiple function transition positions including an initial position, a bucket flow position, a transition position and a straight travel position during the whole stroke of the valve core, can realize functions such as bucket flow inside the valve core, travel anti-deviation and coordinated control of the upper and lower vehicles under straight travel working conditions, simplifies the main valve structure, optimizes the overall size and reduces the manufacturing cost, and improves the controllability of the excavator.

[0013] Meanwhile, the system also has a travel priority function, improves the self-rescue ability of the excavator under complex working conditions, and when the excavator encounters complex working conditions such as deep mud and cross ditch during the working process, the flow is more into the upper vehicle actuator when the travel and the upper vehicle are combined, which causes the travel to be blocked and the whole vehicle to be difficult to complete self-rescue. The system can complete the redistribution of the flow of the travel and the upper vehicle actuator through the hydraulic travel priority valve, make more flow flow into the travel association when the excavator in the mud is combined, improve the self-rescue ability of the excavator, and reduce the throttling loss and improve the system energy efficiency when it is not in the travel priority working condition.

[0077] To improve the coordination of complex actions, linear travel valves are needed in excavating machinery to control linear travel under complex working conditions. This allows for more reasonable flow distribution, prevents travel deviation, and also has a bucket merging function, thereby better controlling the speed of each actuator. A hydraulic travel priority valve is also installed to distribute more flow to the travel linkage, giving priority to the travel function.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the linear travel valve core is a hollow short valve core composed of different throttling orifices, throttling ports, and a built-in check valve, specifically:

[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, the linear travel valve core is a hollow short valve core composed of different throttling orifices, throttling ports, and a built-in check valve, specifically:

The left end return spring and the stroke limit device are installed on the right valve core 116 by a limit screw 121. The right valve core 116 has a first necking groove 117 and a second necking groove 118. The first necking groove 117 is located to the left of the second necking groove 118.

[0082] Several oblique holes 103 are opened at the left end of the second necking groove 118 toward the valve core axis. The oblique holes 103 are located inside the third non-full circumference throttling orifice 108. Some of the oblique holes 103 are connected to the third non-full circumference throttling orifice 108. The number of oblique holes 103 is less than that of the third non-full circumference throttling orifice 108.

[0083] A first radial hole 102 and a fourth radial hole 106 are provided on the right valve core 116.

[0090] The fully electric linear travel valve moves through the linear travel valve core 1. The throttling port and throttling orifice on the linear travel valve core 1 are connected to different oil passages of the valve body, thereby realizing the different working position functions of the linear travel valve under different strokes.

[0091] like Figure 2As shown, the main valve includes a first valve body 2 and a second valve body 3, with the first valve body 2 located below the second valve body 3. The first valve body 2 includes a first pilot unloading oil passage 201, an unloading first-connection oil inlet oil passage 203, a first return oil passage 202, a second return oil passage 204, a third return oil passage 207, a first oil chamber 205, a P1 parallel main oil passage 206, a connecting oil passage 208, a P1 bypass oil passage 209, a P1 main oil passage 210, a first connecting oil passage 211, a fourth return oil passage 212, a second pilot unloading oil passage 213, and a second connecting oil passage 214; the first return oil passage 202, the second return oil passage 204, the third return oil passage 207, and the fourth return oil passage 212 are connected inside the first valve body 2; the P1 parallel main oil passage 206, the P1 bypass oil passage 209, the P1 main oil passage 210, and the unloading first-connection oil inlet oil passage 203 are connected inside the first valve body 2.

[0092] The second valve body 3 oil passage includes a third pilot unloading oil passage 301, a fifth return oil passage 302, a left travel actuator port A 303, a P2 bypass oil passage 304, a P2 parallel main oil passage 305, a second oil chamber 306, a P2 main oil passage 307, a left travel actuator port B 308, a sixth return oil passage 309, a fourth pilot unloading oil passage 310, and a third connecting oil passage 311.

The upper end of the second oil chamber 306 is connected to the P2 parallel main oil passage 305.

[0093] The first connecting oil passage 211 connects to the interior of the second valve body 3 via the second connecting oil passage 214 and the third connecting oil passage 311. The first connecting oil passage 211 is connected to the P2 parallel main oil passage 305. The P2 main oil passage 307 is connected to the connecting oil passage 208. The third pilot unloading oil passage 301 is connected to the first pilot unloading oil passage 201. The right valve core 116 is inserted into the third return oil passage 207, the connecting oil passage 208, the P1 bypass oil passage 209, the P1 main oil passage 210, the first connecting oil passage 211, the fourth return oil passage 212, and the second pilot unloading oil passage 213.

[0094] This linear travel valve is used in a dual-pump dual-circuit system, which includes a first valve body 2 and a second valve body 3. By setting the main oil port P to be independently arranged and the main oil supply passage to be a vertically connected passage, the system pressure loss is reduced. By setting positive and negative action check valves to isolate the main oil port P from the actuator in opposite phases, the stability of the system operation is ensured. At the same time, different working links distributed in parallel are equipped with different plug-ins according to different working requirements.

[0095] The P1 side in the prior art includes a first electronic control pilot section, a straight travel link, a P1 unloading link, a right travel link, a boom link, a bucket link, and a stick link.

[0096] The P2 side in the prior art includes the second electronic control pilot section, left travel link, P2 unloading link, boom confluence link, boom second link, boom third link, slewing link, and stick first link.

[0097] During operation, the electronically controlled linear travel valve's full stroke includes the initial position, bucket merging position, transition position, and straight-line position. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the initial function of this linear travel valve is:

[0098] Hydraulic pump P1 outputs working oil into the first valve body 2. A portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the hydraulic travel priority valve CT1. The P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 supplies oil to the boom linkage, bucket linkage and stick linkage, which are the actuators.

[0099] Another portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the linear travel valve core 1 through the P1 main oil passage 210, and enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209 through the first radial hole 102 and the inclined hole 103. The working oil flows into the linear travel link, right travel link, boom link, bucket link, and stick link through the P1 bypass oil passage 209. The P1 main oil passage 210 and the unloading link inlet oil passage 203 are connected, and the oil enters the P1 unloading link for unloading through the unloading link inlet oil passage 203.

[0100] The hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil into the second valve body 3. A portion of the working oil in the second valve body 3 flows into the left travel linkage via the P2 main oil passage 307. A portion of the working oil in the left travel linkage is diverted to the P2 parallel main oil passage 305 via the CP2 check valve, supplying oil to the boom confluence linkage, slewing linkage, and stick linkage, which serve as actuators. Another portion of the working oil in the second valve body 3 flows into the slewing linkage and stick linkage via the P2 bypass oil passage 304.

[0101] In the initial working condition, the hydraulic pump P1 supplies working oil only to the actuator connected to the first valve body, and the hydraulic pump P2 supplies working oil only to the actuator connected to the second valve body.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the working function of the linear travel valve at the bucket confluence position is:

[0103] The hydraulic pump P1 outputs working oil into the first valve body 2. A portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the hydraulic travel priority valve CT1. The P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 supplies oil to the boom confluence, boom 2nd link, bucket link and stick 1st link, which are the actuators.

[0104] Another portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the first radial hole 102, the oblique hole 103 and the third non-full circumference throttling port 108 through the P1 main oil passage 210 and then enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209.

[0105] The working oil entering the P1 bypass oil circuit 209 supplies oil to the right travel link; a portion of the working oil in the right travel link enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 via the check valve CP1. The other portion of the working oil in the right travel link enters the P1 unloading link for unloading through the unloading link inlet oil passage 203.

[0106] Hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil to supply oil to the first valve body 2 and the second valve body 3. A portion of the working oil in the second valve body 3 flows into the left travel linkage via the P2 main oil passage 307. A portion of the working oil in the left travel linkage is diverted to the P2 parallel main oil passage 305 via the CP2 check valve, supplying oil to the boom confluence linkage, slewing linkage, and stick linkage, which serve as actuators. Another portion of the working oil in the second valve body 3 flows into the slewing linkage and stick linkage through the P2 bypass oil passage 304.

[0107] The hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil into the first valve body 2 through the connecting oil passage 208. The working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the linear travel link. The working oil in the linear travel link pushes the valve core plunger 110 through the fourth radial hole 106. The working oil in the valve core plunger 110 enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209 through the third radial hole 105. As the valve core stroke continues to open, the working oil directly enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209 through the second non-full circumference throttling port 107.

[0108] The working oil in the P1 bypass oil circuit 209 is input to the right travel link; the working oil in the right travel link enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the one-way valve CP1, and the working oil of hydraulic pump P1 and hydraulic pump P2 completes the dual pump confluence at the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206.

[0109] When the linear travel valve is in the working condition of the bucket confluence position, the working oil of hydraulic pump P1 is only supplied to the actuator on the first valve body side; the working oil of hydraulic pump P2 is supplied to both the actuator on the first valve body side and the actuator on the second valve body side. The working oil of hydraulic pump P2 enters the parallel main oil circuit 206 of P1 through the linear travel link and the right travel link, completing the confluence of the two pumps and improving the bucket digging speed.

[0110] like Figure 5 As shown, the working function of this linear travel valve in the transition position is:

[0111] When the linear travel valve is in the transition position, the left travel linkage, right travel linkage, and any one of the upper actuators have been activated. The hydraulic pump P1 outputs working oil into the first valve body 2. A portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the hydraulic control travel priority valve CT1. The P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 supplies oil to the actuator boom linkage, bucket linkage, and stick linkage.

[0112] Another portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the linear travel link through the P1 main oil passage 210. A portion of the working oil in the linear travel link enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209 through the first radial hole 102, the oblique hole 103, and the third non-full circumference throttling port 108; the working oil in the P1 bypass oil passage 209 replenishes the right travel link, and at the same time, the P1 bypass oil passage 209 is connected to the connecting oil passage 208, and the connecting oil passage 208 replenishes the left travel link;

[0113] Another part of the working oil in the straight-line travel joint enters the oil passage 311 of the second valve body 3 through the first non-full-circuit throttle port 101, the first connecting oil passage 211 and the second connecting oil passage 214.

[0114] Oil passage 311 enters the P2 parallel main oil passage 305 via check valve CT2, supplying oil to the boom confluence, slewing, and stick linkages, which serve as actuators.

[0115] Hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil to supply oil to the first valve body 2 and the second valve body 3. The working oil entering the second valve body 3 travels to the left via the P2 main oil passage 307 for joint oil supply. The working oil in the P2 main oil passage 307 enters the first valve body 2 via the connecting oil passage 208. At this time, the P1 bypass oil passage 209 is connected to the connecting oil passage 208, and a portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 travels to the right for joint oil replenishment.

[0116] Another part of the working oil of the first valve body 2 enters the P1 bypass oil passage 209 through the inclined hole 103, the first radial hole 102, and the third non-full circumference throttling port 108, and enters the third connecting oil passage 311 of the second valve body 3 through the first non-full circumference throttling port 101, the first connecting oil passage 211, and the second connecting oil passage 214.

[0117] The third connecting oil passage 311 enters the P2 parallel main oil passage 305 via the one-way valve CT2, supplying oil to the boom confluence, slewing, and stick linkages, which serve as actuators.

[0118] When the linear travel valve is in the transition position, hydraulic pump P1 outputs hydraulic oil to power the upper actuator and can replenish oil to the left and right travel links of the lower vehicle via the linear travel link; hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil to power the left and right travel links of the lower vehicle and can supply oil to the upper actuator of the second valve body via the linear travel link; the linear travel valve effectively replenishes oil to the lower travel link by electro-proportional control of the working oil of hydraulic pump P1, which has a good effect on preventing the travel from deviating.

[0119] like Figure 6 As shown, the working function of this linear travel valve in the linear travel position is as follows:

[0120] When the linear travel valve is in the straight travel position, the left travel linkage, right travel linkage, and any one of the upper actuators have been activated. The hydraulic pump P1 outputs working oil into the first valve body 2. A portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the hydraulic control travel priority valve CT1. The P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 supplies oil to the boom linkage, bucket linkage, and stick linkage, which serve as actuators.

[0121] Another portion of the working oil in the first valve body 2 enters the third connecting oil passage 311 of the second valve body 3 through the P1 main oil passage 210, the first non-full circumference throttle port 101, the first connecting oil passage 211, and the second connecting oil passage 214. The working oil in the third connecting oil passage 311 enters the P2 parallel main oil passage 305 after passing through the check valve CT2, and supplies oil to the boom confluence, slewing, and stick linkages, which serve as actuators.

[0122] Hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil to supply oil to the first valve body 2 and the second valve body 3. A portion of the working oil output by hydraulic pump P2 enters the second valve body 3, and the P2 main oil circuit 307 of the second valve body 3 supplies oil to the left. The working oil from the P2 main oil circuit 307 enters the first valve body 2 via the connecting oil passage 208. The P1 bypass oil circuit 209 is connected to the connecting oil circuit 208 and supplies oil to the right. When the linear travel valve is in the straight travel position, hydraulic pump P1 outputs hydraulic oil to supply hydraulic oil for the upper actuator; hydraulic pump P2 outputs working oil to supply hydraulic oil for the lower actuator.

[0123] Figure 7 This is an outline drawing of the cone valve core assembly. Figure 8 This is a cross-sectional view of the hydraulically controlled travel priority valve CT1. The working function of the non-travel priority position is as follows:

[0124] With no pilot pressure at the pilot oil port PCt, a portion of the working oil in the P1 main oil circuit 210 enters the pilot stage oil circuit of the hydraulic travel priority valve CT1 through the inner cone valve 410, reaches the inside of the cone valve core 408, and then enters the pilot valve body 404 through the second throttle hole b of the inner cone valve 410, the third throttle hole c of the main valve plug 407, the first oil groove d of the cone valve core 408, the second oil groove e of the cone valve core 408, and the bottom hole i of the cone valve spring seat 405. The working oil in the pilot valve body 404 returns to the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the sixth connecting oil passage h, the fifth connecting oil passage g, and the fourth connecting oil passage f. With no pressure buildup at the right end of the cone valve core assembly, the working oil in the P1 main oil circuit 210 pushes open the cone valve core 408 and enters the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206. At this time, the cone valve core 408 acts as a one-way cone valve.

[0125] like Figure 9 As shown, the working function of the walking priority position is:

[0126] Pilot pressure is provided to the pilot oil port PCt, and the pilot valve core 403 reverses. The fifth connecting oil passage g and the sixth connecting oil passage h are no longer connected under the action of the pilot valve core 403. Part of the working oil in the P1 main oil passage 210 enters the pilot stage oil passage of the hydraulic travel priority valve CT1 through the inner cone valve 410, and reaches the inside of the cone valve core 408. The working oil in the cone valve core 408 then enters the pilot valve body 404 through the second throttle orifice b of the inner cone valve 410, the third throttle orifice c of the main valve plug 407, the first oil groove d of the cone valve core 408, the second oil groove e of the cone valve core 408, and the bottom hole i of the cone valve spring seat 405. At this time, the fifth connecting oil passage g and the sixth connecting oil passage h are connected by the pilot valve core 403. When the connection is broken under the action of 03, the right end of the cone valve core 408 assembly is pressurized and the cone valve core 408 is closed under pressure. The working oil in the P1 main oil circuit 210 can only enter the P1 parallel main oil circuit 206 through the first throttle hole a of the cone valve core 408. At this time, the cone valve core 408 acts as a one-way throttle cone valve. When the right travel linkage, boom linkage 1 linkage and stick linkage 2 linkage are combined, it is beneficial for the working oil in the P1 main oil circuit 210 to flow into the right travel linkage, thereby playing the role of travel priority and improving the excavator's self-rescue capability.

[0127] The hydraulic travel priority valve CT1 and CP2 check valve are among the many models that can be used in the prior art. Those skilled in the art can select the appropriate model according to actual needs. This embodiment will not list them all.

[0128] The purpose of this invention is to provide a linear travel valve and its subsystem adapted to the energy regeneration system of a fully electro-hydraulic excavator. This linear travel valve and subsystem are applied to a dual-pump, dual-circuit hydraulic system. They enable bucket merging within the linear travel valve core, ensuring bucket digging speed; they allow for reasonable flow control based on the speed requirements of each actuator during linear travel under complex excavator operating conditions, ensuring straight-line travel and preventing deviation; and they utilize a hydraulically controlled travel priority valve to allow more flow into the travel linkage, ensuring travel priority functionality. This linear travel valve employs electro-hydraulic proportional control and features multiple functional transition positions throughout the valve core's movement, including an initial position, bucket merging position, transition position, and straight-line position. The stroke process enables functions such as bucket merging within the valve core, travel deviation prevention, and coordinated control of loading and unloading during linear travel. Simultaneously, it simplifies the main valve structure, optimizes overall dimensions, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the excavator's maneuverability.

[0129] This system also features a travel priority function, enhancing the excavator's self-rescue capability in complex working conditions. When an excavator encounters difficult situations such as being deeply mired in mud or ditches, and the travel and overhead mechanisms are engaged in a combined operation, the heavier travel load can cause more flow to the overhead actuators, obstructing travel and making self-rescue difficult. This system, through a hydraulically controlled travel priority valve, redistributes the flow between the travel and overhead actuators, ensuring that when the excavator is engaged in a muddy situation, more flow flows to the travel linkage, improving the excavator's self-rescue capability. Furthermore, in non-travel priority operating conditions, it reduces throttling losses and improves system energy efficiency.

[0130] This invention provides a linear travel valve and linear travel system adapted to the energy regeneration system of a fully electro-hydraulic excavator. The linear travel valve and system are applied to a dual-pump, dual-circuit hydraulic system. They can complete the bucket merging function within the linear travel valve core, ensuring bucket digging speed; they can perform reasonable flow control according to the speed requirements of each actuator during linear travel under complex working conditions of the excavator, ensuring the machine's linear travel and preventing deviation; and they can utilize a hydraulically controlled travel priority valve to allow more flow into the travel linkage, ensuring the travel priority function.

[0131] The linear travel valve of this invention adopts electro-hydraulic proportional control. During the entire stroke of the valve core, it has multiple functional transition positions, including the initial position, the bucket merging position, the transition position, and the straight travel position. During the stroke, it can realize functions such as bucket merging inside the valve core, anti-deviation control during travel, and coordinated control of getting on and off the vehicle under linear travel conditions. At the same time, it simplifies the main valve structure, optimizes the overall size, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the maneuverability of the excavator.

[0132] In complex working conditions such as when the excavator is deeply stuck in mud or ditches, and the traveling and overhead mechanisms are operating simultaneously, the heavy load on the traveling mechanism causes more flow to flow into the overhead mechanism, obstructing travel and making it difficult for the excavator to extricate itself. This invention addresses this by using a hydraulically controlled traveling priority valve to redistribute the flow between the traveling and overhead mechanisms. This ensures that when the excavator is in mud, more flow flows into the traveling mechanism, improving its self-rescue capability. Furthermore, in non-traveling priority conditions, it reduces throttling losses and improves system energy efficiency.

[0133] Key term definitions:

[0134] Flow confluence --- For hydraulic systems supplied with oil by two or more main pumps, in order to meet the speed requirements of the actuator, it is usually necessary for two or more pumps to supply oil to the actuator at the same time, that is, to achieve flow confluence.

[0135] Travel Priority – When travel is combined with working devices such as boom, stick, and bucket, in order to ensure travel speed, the system flow is preferentially allocated to the travel linkage through priority valves and other devices, thereby achieving travel priority.

[0136] Linear travel valve – When the left and right travel and boom and other overhead devices are operated simultaneously, the valve core actuates to ensure that the flow rate supplied to the left and right travel motors is equal, and the motors rotate at the same speed, ensuring that the whole machine travels in a straight line and preventing deviation.

[0137] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
