Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically to a method, device, and directional valve for detecting the displacement of the valve stem of a directional valve. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, cranes rely on directional valves to achieve lifting, luffing, and telescopic movements. Individual directional valves are configured as multi-way directional valves, either in segmented or integral forms. When the crane performs a single movement, the valve stem displacement of the directional valve is related to the flow rate through the valve stem, thus affecting the crane's load movement speed. When the crane performs multiple movements, the valve stem displacements of different directional valves also affect the flow distribution relationship of each movement of the crane. Therefore, real-time monitoring and comparison of valve stem displacement can improve the control performance of the directional valves.
[0003] Existing technologies for detecting the displacement of directional valve stems mainly include two methods: using displacement sensors to acquire the valve stem displacement, or using the principle of electromagnetic induction to obtain the valve stem displacement. However, using displacement sensors to acquire the valve stem displacement requires complex components, is costly, and cannot effectively monitor the valve stem displacement in real time while the crane is operating. Furthermore, obtaining the valve stem displacement using the principle of electromagnetic induction requires two processes: motion mode conversion and motion-to-electrical signal conversion, which necessitates more mechanical components and is also costly. Summary of the Invention

[0050] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0051] Existing technologies for detecting the displacement of directional valve stems mainly include two methods: using displacement sensors to obtain the valve stem displacement, or using the principle of electromagnetic induction to obtain the valve stem displacement. However, using displacement sensors to obtain the valve stem displacement requires complex components and cannot effectively monitor the valve stem displacement in real time while the crane is operating. On the other hand, obtaining the valve stem displacement using the principle of electromagnetic induction requires two processes: motion mode conversion and motion-to-electrical signal conversion, which requires more mechanical components and is more expensive.
[0052] Based on this, this application provides a method for detecting the displacement of a directional valve stem, which is applied to a directional valve. The directional valve includes a first return spring, a second return spring, a first solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, a first force sensor disposed on the first return spring, and a second force sensor disposed on the second return spring. Figure 1 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for detecting the displacement of a directional valve stem according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a directional valve 200 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the directional valve 200 includes a first force sensor 201, a second force sensor 202, a first return spring 203, a valve stem 204, a flow sensor 205, a second return spring 206, a first solenoid valve 207, and a second solenoid valve 208. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0053] Step S101: Obtain the first initial force on the first reset spring through the first force sensor, and obtain the second initial force on the second reset spring through the second force sensor.
[0054] In practical applications, the first and second force sensors consist of three main parts: one or more elastic bodies capable of deformation under stress, a Wheatstone bridge circuit composed of strain gauges that sense this deformation, an adhesive that fixes the strain gauges to the elastic body and conducts the strain, and a sealant that protects the electronic circuitry. The first initial force is the initial force on the first return spring measured by the first force sensor when the first solenoid valve is neither energized nor de-energized. The second initial force is the initial force on the second return spring measured by the second force sensor when the second solenoid valve is neither energized nor de-energized.
[0055] Specifically, when neither the first solenoid valve 207 nor the second solenoid valve 208 is energized or de-energized, the first initial force of the first reset spring 203 is obtained by the first force sensor 201 installed on the first reset spring 203, and the second initial force of the second reset spring 206 is obtained by the second force sensor 202 installed on the second reset spring 206.
[0056] Step S102: Control the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to make the valve stem translate until it is in a balanced position.
[0057] In practical applications, after measuring the first and second initial forces, controlling the energization or de-energization of the first solenoid valve 207 and the second solenoid valve 208 can cause the valve stem 204 to move to the equilibrium position. Specifically, when the first solenoid valve 207 is energized and the second solenoid valve 208 is de-energized, pressurized oil enters the left end of the valve stem 204, and pressurized oil exits the right end of the valve stem 204, realizing the reversal of the directional valve 200. At this time, the valve stem 204 moves from left to right, the first return spring 203 gradually extends, the force measured by the first force sensor 201 decreases, the second return spring 206 is gradually compressed, and the force measured by the second force sensor 202 increases. When the spring force of the first return spring 203 and the second return spring 206 and the generated frictional force are balanced with the oil pressure, the valve stem 204 is in the equilibrium position.
[0058] In practical applications, when the first solenoid valve 207 is de-energized and the second solenoid valve 208 is energized, pressurized oil enters the right end of the valve stem 204, and pressurized oil exits the left end, thus reversing the directional valve 200. At this time, the valve stem 204 moves from right to left, the second return spring 206 gradually extends, the force measured by the second force sensor 202 decreases, the first return spring 203 is gradually compressed, and the force measured by the first force sensor 201 increases. When the spring forces of the first return spring 203 and the second return spring 206, along with the resulting frictional force, are balanced with the oil pressure, the valve stem 204 is in an equilibrium position.
[0059] Step S103: When the valve stem is in the equilibrium position, the first equilibrium force of the first reset spring is obtained through the first force sensor, and the second equilibrium force of the second reset spring is obtained through the second force sensor.
[0060] In practical applications, the first balancing force is the force on the first return spring measured by the first force sensor when the valve stem is in the equilibrium position, and the second balancing force is the force on the second return spring measured by the second force sensor when the valve stem is in the equilibrium position.
[0061] In practical applications, when the valve stem 204 is in the equilibrium position, the first equilibrium force on the first reset spring 203 is obtained by the first force sensor 201, and the second equilibrium force on the second reset spring 206 is obtained by the second force sensor 202.
[0062] Step S104: Calculate the displacement of the valve stem based on the first initial force, the second initial force, the first equilibrium force, and the second equilibrium force.
[0063] In practical applications, when valve stem 204 along Figure 2 When the middle moves from left to right, the first displacement of the first return spring 203 is calculated by the first initial force and the first balanced force, and the second displacement of the second return spring 206 is calculated by the second initial force and the second balanced force.
[0064] In practical applications, when valve stem 204 moves along... Figure 2 When the middle moves from right to left, the first displacement of the first return spring 203 is calculated by the first initial force and the first balanced force, and the second displacement of the second return spring 206 is calculated by the second initial force and the second balanced force.
[0065] Furthermore, the displacement of the valve stem 204 can be determined by the first displacement and the second displacement.
[0066] Through the above embodiments, this method is applied to a directional valve, which includes a first return spring, a second return spring, a first solenoid valve, a second solenoid valve, a first force sensor disposed on the first return spring, and a second force sensor disposed on the second return spring. The method includes: obtaining a first initial force on the first return spring through the first force sensor, and obtaining a second initial force on the second return spring through the second force sensor; controlling the first and second solenoid valves to cause the valve stem to translate until it reaches an equilibrium position; when the valve stem is in the equilibrium position, obtaining a first equilibrium force on the first return spring through the first force sensor, and obtaining a second equilibrium force on the second return spring through the second force sensor; and calculating the valve stem displacement based on the first initial force, the second initial force, the first equilibrium force, and the second equilibrium force. This process improves the efficiency of valve stem displacement detection and reduces the cost of displacement detection by measuring the force on the return spring using force sensors and calculating the valve stem displacement based on the force.
[0067] In the above embodiments, step S104 includes:
[0068] The first displacement of the first return spring is calculated based on the first initial force, the first balanced force, and the first preset stiffness coefficient of the first return spring.
[0069] The second displacement of the second return spring is calculated based on the second initial force, the second balanced force, and the second preset stiffness coefficient of the second return spring.
[0070] Determine whether the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are equal;
[0071] If the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are equal, the absolute value of the first displacement is taken as the displacement of the valve stem.
[0072] In practical applications, the first preset stiffness coefficient k1 of the first return spring 203 is known, and the second preset stiffness coefficient k2 of the second return spring 206 is known. The first initial force measured by the first force sensor 201 is F1, and the first equilibrium force measured by the first force sensor 202 is F2. The second initial force measured by the second force sensor 202 is f1, and the second equilibrium force measured by the second force sensor 202 is f2.
[0073] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the first displacement x1 of the first return spring 203 is as follows: The formula for calculating the second displacement x2 of the second return spring 206 is as follows:
[0074] In practical applications, after calculating the first and second displacements, it is determined whether the absolute values of the first and second displacements are equal. If the absolute values of the first and second displacements are equal, it indicates that the displacement calculation of the valve stem 204 is accurate, and the absolute value of the first displacement is taken as the displacement of the valve stem 204.
[0075] Through the above embodiments, the first displacement of the first return spring and the second displacement of the second return spring are calculated using the initial force, balanced force, and spring constant, respectively. The absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are compared. If the absolute value of the first displacement is equal to the absolute value of the second displacement, the displacement of the valve stem is accurately calculated. The absolute value of the first displacement is then used as the displacement of the valve stem, thereby improving the accuracy of the valve stem displacement calculation and reducing the complexity of the valve stem displacement calculation.
[0076] In one embodiment, after determining whether the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are equal, the method further includes:
[0077] If the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are not equal, recalculate the first preset stiffness coefficient of the first reset spring and the second preset stiffness coefficient of the second reset spring.
[0078] In practical applications, the displacement calculation of the valve stem 204 may be incorrect due to component aging of the first return spring 203 and the second return spring 206 of the directional valve 200. If the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are not equal, the displacement calculation of the valve stem 204 is incorrect. It is necessary to recalculate the first preset stiffness coefficient of the first return spring 203 and the second preset tension coefficient of the second return spring 206 on both sides of the directional valve 200. The displacement of the valve stem 204 should then be recalculated based on the recalculated first and second preset stiffness coefficients.
[0079] Through the above embodiments, by comparing the first displacement and the second displacement, when the absolute value of the first displacement is not equal to the absolute value of the second displacement, the first preset stiffness coefficient of the first return spring and the second preset stiffness coefficient of the second return spring are adjusted, and the displacement of the valve stem is recalculated, thereby improving the accuracy of the calculated valve stem displacement result.
[0080] In one embodiment, the directional valve further includes a throttle orifice and a flow sensor disposed at the throttle orifice;
[0081] If the absolute values of the first displacement and the second displacement are equal, after taking the absolute value of the first displacement as the displacement of the valve stem, the following is also included:
[0082] The actual operating flow rate of the throttling orifice is obtained through a flow sensor;
[0083] Calculate the predicted working flow rate of the throttle orifice based on the valve stem displacement;
[0084] Determine whether the actual workload and the predicted workload meet the preset conditions;
[0085] Under the premise of meeting the preset conditions, the accuracy of the displacement calculation is determined;
[0086] If the preset conditions are not met, it is determined that the displacement calculation is incorrect, and information is generated to prompt the replacement of the first and second reset springs.
[0087] In practical applications, the directional valve 200 is equipped with a flow sensor 205 at the throttling orifice to obtain the working flow rate at the orifice. When the absolute value of the first displacement is equal to the absolute value of the second displacement, the actual working flow rate Q1 at the throttling orifice is obtained according to the flow sensor 205. The predicted working flow rate Q2 at the throttling orifice is calculated based on the first or second displacement. Specifically, the formula for calculating the predicted working flow rate Q2 is as follows: Among them, C d It is generally a fixed value, set to 0.7. A(x) is the formula for calculating the cross-sectional area of the throttle orifice based on the displacement. A(x) is determined according to the shape of the cross-section of the throttle orifice. Δp is the pressure difference before and after passing through the throttle orifice. ρ is the density of the pressurized oil.
[0088] In practical applications, it is determined whether the predicted workload and the actual workload meet preset conditions. Specifically, the preset conditions are: If the preset conditions are met, the displacement calculation of valve stem 204 is accurate. If the preset conditions are not met, the first and second return springs are faulty or have failed, the displacement calculation of valve stem 204 is incorrect, and information is needed to prompt the replacement of the first and second return springs so that the staff can replace the first return spring 203 and the second return spring 206.
[0089] Through the above embodiments, when the absolute value of the first displacement is equal to the absolute value of the second displacement, the actual working flow of the throttling orifice is obtained by setting a flow sensor, and the actual working flow is compared with the predicted working flow to further ensure the accuracy of the first or second displacement.
