TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a mechanical and electromagnetic integrated multi-way directional valve. BACKGROUND
[0002] Agricultural machinery equipment is an indispensable tool to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, and plays a very important role in promoting agricultural yield and efficiency. Higher requirements are put forward for the scientization and intelligentization of agricultural equipment. However, the control mode of domestic tractor hydraulic suspension system is still mainly manual multi-way valve. This mechanical operation mode not only consumes a lot of physical strength of the operator, but also has low production efficiency, and hinders the intelligentization of the whole vehicle.
[0003] Foreign advanced tractors have entered the era of full electric-hydraulic control operation. The popularization of full electric control operation of multi-way valve is not very realistic for the current tractor industry. First, the cost increase brought by full electric control operation of hydraulic system is relatively high. Second, according to the actual working condition of tractors, not all operations need to be electrically controlled. Therefore, a new design idea is needed to solve this problem. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is a mechanical and electromagnetic integrated multi-way directional valve to meet the use requirements of various types of tractor attachments.
[0005] To this end, the present application provides a mechanical and electromagnetic integrated multi-way directional valve, which comprises an oil inlet body, one or more manual directional valve pieces, one or more electric control valve pieces one, one electric control valve piece two, and an oil return cover plate. The manual directional valve piece is a three-position six-way middle O-type manual directional valve piece. The electric control valve piece one is a three-position four-way middle O-type electromagnetic directional valve piece. The electric control valve piece two is a three-position four-way middle H-type unloading electromagnetic directional valve piece, and its corresponding A port oil channel and B port oil channel are respectively connected in series with a double stop electromagnetic valve. The double stop electromagnetic valve is normally closed and conducts when powered. The electric control valve piece one cooperates with the directional action of the electric control valve piece two when it is actuated.
[0006] The multi-way directional valve of the present application can realize any combination operation of mechanical and electromagnetic control of large horsepower tractor attachment work, realize the control design of mechatronic multi-way valve, take into account the practicability and intelligent control, and avoid cost waste. The valve body cavity adopts mechanical-electromagnetic control integrated design, has the characteristics of platformization, high universality, simple and reliable structure, etc.

[0016] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0017] In the process of implementing the present application, the present inventors found that various implements of the tractor can be divided into frequently operated implements and less frequently operated implements. Therefore, the present application controls the operation of the frequently operated implements by electromagnetism and controls the operation of the less frequently operated implements by hand. Through such combined operation, both cost saving and liberation of the operator from frequent mechanical operation are achieved.
[0018] In combination with reference Figures 1 to 3 to the accompanying drawings, the multi-way directional valve of the present application comprises an oil inlet body 1, one or more manual directional valve discs 2 / 3, one or more electric control valve discs one 4, one electric control valve disc two 5, and an oil return cover plate 6.
[0019] The functions of each valve disc are set as follows: the mechanical operation valve disc (manual directional valve disc) can realize the up, middle, and down control of the implement; the electric control operation valve disc is divided into two groups, one group (electric control valve disc one) realizes the up, middle, and down control of the implement, and the other group (electric control valve disc two) realizes the up, middle, and down, and floating control of the implement.
[0020] In order to realize the design requirements of simple and reliable reversing valve structure, platformization and high universality, we select specific structure of valve and combine these valves together to form a multi-way reversing valve which can meet the different operation frequency requirements of tractor accessories.
[0021] An overflow valve 11 is arranged on the oil inlet body 1, and the structure of the oil inlet body is shown in Figure 4 .
[0022] The manual reversing valve 2 is more than one joint, and in this embodiment, it is two joints, each of which selects a three-position four-way O-type oil valve core. The manual reversing valve 2 includes a valve body 21, a valve core 22, a one-way valve 23, a valve core elastic recovery assembly 24, and additionally, a bypass oil passage 25 is arranged between the corresponding A port oil passage and the oil return passage, and an oil passage switch 26 is arranged on the bypass oil passage. When the oil passage switch is operated to open, the A1 port is communicated with the T port, thereby controlling the accessories to rely on the gravity to drop, which is very useful when plowing in soft soil. The structure of the manual reversing valve is shown in Figure 5 .
[0023] The electric control valve one 4 is more than one joint, and in this embodiment, it is one joint. The valve core of the electric control valve one is a three-position four-way O-type electromagnetic reversing valve. The electric control valve one 4 includes a valve body 41, a valve core 42, plugs 43 / 44, an electromagnetic valve DT1 and an electromagnetic valve DT2. The structure of the electric control valve one is shown in Figure 6 .
[0024] The electric control valve two is one joint, and the valve core of the electric control valve two is a three-position four-way H-type unloading electromagnetic reversing valve. The reversing valve two includes a valve body 51, a valve core 52, an electromagnetic valve DT3 and an electromagnetic valve DT4. The corresponding A port oil passage and B port oil passage are respectively connected in series with double block electromagnetic valves DT5 / DT6. The structure of the electric control valve two is shown in Figure 7 .
[0025] The valve body structures of the electric control valve one and the electric control valve two are the same, and the difference lies in that the double block electromagnetic valves (cartridge valves) of the electric control valve two are replaced by plugs, and the lengths of the two symmetrical oil passage sealing sections in the middle of the valve cores of the electric control valve one and the electric control valve two are different. The lengths of the two symmetrical oil passage sealing sections in the middle of the valve core of the electric control valve one are longer, and the middle position oil inlet passage and the oil return passage are not communicated, while the lengths of the two symmetrical oil passage sealing sections in the middle of the valve core of the electric control valve two are shorter, and the middle position oil inlet passage and the oil return passage are communicated.
[0026] The electric control valve two is sealed by the oil return cover plate 6, which is a solid plate without any oil passage arranged thereon.
[0027] The operation of each valve is as follows: Due to the flow limitation of the multi-way directional valve, only one valve is allowed to operate at a time. When the manual directional valve is activated, the other subsequent valves stop operating, i.e., no oil is supplied to the other valves. When the electrically controlled valve one is activated, DT3 of the electrically controlled valve two is energized. When the electrically controlled valve two is activated, the double-stop solenoid valves DT5 / DT6 are activated, opening the corresponding ports A and B.
[0028] The sequence of solenoid valve actions during the reversing action of the electronically controlled valve plate is shown in Table 1 below.
[0029] Table 1
[0030]
[0031] The sequence of solenoid valve actions during the reversing action of the second electrically controlled valve plate is shown in Table 2 below.
[0032] Table 2
[0033]
[0034] The multi-way directional valve in the above embodiments can realize any combination of mechanical and electromagnetic control operations for the operation of attachments of high-horsepower tractors, realize the mechatronics integrated multi-way valve control design, and the multi-way directional valve has the advantages of high platformization, strong versatility, and simple and reliable structure.
[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
