Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a hydraulic control system, a battery box protection system and a wide-body vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Off-road dump trucks, such as wide-body mining dump trucks, are widely used in open-pit coal mines, metal mines, stone mines and other mines. During use, they travel back and forth between mining sites and unloading sites. Since their routes are relatively fixed, battery swap stations can be set up, providing the basis for electric operation.

[0003] However, due to its complex working conditions and large transport slope, stones falling from the road or ore transported by the vehicle itself have the risk of falling from the battery exchange channel reserved on the vehicle, such as the upper battery exchange channel or the side battery exchange channel, and damaging the battery box, posing a safety hazard. Although there are solutions in the related art to protect the battery exchange channel with a protective cover, the protective cover is generally set as a detachable fixed structure or set to be opened or closed by hydraulic drive. The detachable structure requires manual disassembly and assembly, which is inconvenient to use. The hydraulic drive method does not require manual disassembly and assembly of the protective cover, but there is a risk that the hydraulic source does not work, resulting in the battery exchange channel not being able to open or close smoothly.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hydraulic control system, which includes:

[0041] A hydraulic actuator 101 is used to drive and connect with the protective cover 3 of the vehicle and move the protective cover 3 relative to the battery box of the vehicle to open or close the battery replacement channel of the vehicle;

[0042] The reversing valve 102 is connected to the hydraulic actuator 101 and is used to control the action of the hydraulic actuator 101;

[0043] The accumulator 103 is connected to the oil supply passage 110 of the reversing valve 102 .

[0044] It should be noted that the installation position of the protective cover 3 on the vehicle is determined according to the layout of its battery exchange channel. The hydraulic actuator 101 can drive the protective cover 3 to move to open or close the battery exchange channel. For example, the hydraulic actuator 101 can be a rotary cylinder or a telescopic cylinder.

[0045] Specifically, the two working oil ports of the reversing valve 102 are respectively connected to the two oil ports of the hydraulic actuator 101, the oil inlet of the reversing valve 102 is used to communicate with the hydraulic source 109 through the oil supply line 110, and the oil return port of the reversing valve 102 is used to communicate with the oil tank 100 through the oil return line 120.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, for example, taking the hydraulic actuator 101 as an example of a telescopic oil cylinder, when the Y1 electromagnet of the reversing valve 102 is energized and the Y2 electromagnet is de-energized, the valve core moves to the right, oil enters the rodless chamber of the telescopic oil cylinder, oil exits the rod chamber, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic oil cylinder extends, the Y1 electromagnet of the reversing valve 102 is energized and the Y2 electromagnet is energized, the valve core moves to the left, oil enters the rod chamber of the telescopic oil cylinder, oil exits the rodless chamber, and the telescopic rod of the telescopic oil cylinder retracts. These two states correspond to the states of opening or closing the protective cover 3 for power exchange, which will be explained later by way of example.

[0047] Thus, in the present invention, a hydraulic control system is used to control the opening or closing action of the protective cover 3. Specifically, a hydraulic actuator 101 is used to drive the movement of the protective cover 3 of the vehicle, and a reversing valve 102 is used to realize the movement reversal of the protective cover 3, so that the protective cover 3 can open or close the battery exchange channel. When the battery exchange channel is opened, the battery exchange operation can be performed. When the battery exchange channel is closed, protection can be formed for the battery box 92 at the battery exchange channel to prevent external stones from moving through the battery exchange channel to the battery box 92 and colliding with the battery box 92, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery box 92. In addition, an accumulator 103 is provided on the oil supply line 110 of the reversing valve 102. In special circumstances, such as when the hydraulic source 109 has no liquid pressure, hydraulic oil can be supplied through the accumulator 103, so that the hydraulic actuator 101 can still move or maintain the action state, thereby improving the endurance of the hydraulic control system; at the same time, the accumulator 103 can also stabilize the pressure of the oil supply circuit 110 to a certain extent, and avoid excessive fluctuations in the pressure difference between the two working oil ports of the reversing valve 102, which causes the protective cover 3 to move too much and collide with other components or even be damaged; the hydraulic control system of the present invention can quickly and stably drive the protective cover 3 of the vehicle to open or close the power exchange channel, and can work normally even when the hydraulic source 109 has no liquid pressure, and has strong endurance.

[0048] At this time, the accumulator 103 can be used to provide hydraulic pressure during battery replacement, and the independent power supply equipped on the vehicle outside the battery box 92 does not need to be set with a large capacity to meet the power demand for the hydraulic source 109, such as the hydraulic pump drive, during battery replacement.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the hydraulic control system also includes a first one-way valve 104, which is arranged on the oil supply circuit 110, and the outlet of the first one-way valve 104 is arranged toward the reversing valve 102, and the accumulator 103 is connected to the oil supply circuit 110 at one end of the outlet of the first one-way valve 104.

[0050] It should be noted that the number and capacity of the accumulators 103 are determined according to specific needs. For example, two 10-liter accumulators 103 are used in the present invention.

[0051] In this way, when there is no hydraulic pressure at the hydraulic source 109, or the hydraulic pressure is less than the hydraulic pressure at the accumulator 103, the first one-way valve 104 can prevent the hydraulic oil flowing out of the accumulator 103 from flowing back to the hydraulic source 109, thereby avoiding the loss of hydraulic energy of the accumulator 103.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the hydraulic control system also includes a logic valve 105 and a pressure relief valve 106; the inlet of the logic valve 105 is connected to the oil supply circuit 110 at the inlet end of the first one-way valve 104, the outlet of the logic valve 105 is connected to the return oil circuit 120 of the reversing valve 102, the control port of the logic valve 105 is connected to the inlet of the pressure relief valve 106, the outlet of the pressure relief valve 106 is connected to the return oil circuit 120, and the control port of the pressure relief valve 106 is connected to the oil supply circuit 110 at the outlet end of the first one-way valve 104.

[0053] For example, taking the required working fluid pressure of the hydraulic actuator 101 as the first pressure value, at this time, the control port of the pressure relief valve 106 is connected to the oil supply line 110. When the fluid pressure at the outlet of the first one-way valve 104 exceeds the first pressure value, the inlet and outlet of the pressure relief valve 106 are connected, and the fluid at the control port of the logic valve 105 flows back to the oil tank 100 through the pressure relief valve 106 and the return oil line 120. Then, the inlet and outlet of the logic valve 105 are connected, and the hydraulic oil at the inlet of the first one-way valve 104 flows back to the oil tank 100 through the logic valve 105 and the return oil line 120 until the fluid pressure at the outlet of the first one-way valve 104 is restored.

[0054] In this way, the system pressure at the outlet of the first one-way valve 104 can be maintained at the first pressure value through the pressure relief valve 106 and the logic valve 105, so that the telescopic cylinder can respond quickly when it needs to move.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the hydraulic control system also includes a relief valve 108; the inlet of the relief valve 108 is connected to the oil supply circuit 110 at a second connecting position, the second connecting position is located between the connecting point where the oil supply circuit 110 is connected to the inlet of the logic valve 105 and the hydraulic source 109, and the outlet of the relief valve 108 is connected to the return oil circuit 120.

[0056] In this manner, the hydraulic oil exceeding the safety pressure of the logic valve 105 can be overflowed through the relief valve 108. For example, when the pressure of the hydraulic oil output by the hydraulic source 109 exceeds a second pressure value (the second pressure value is greater than the first pressure value), the relief valve 108 opens to prevent damage to components in the subsequent oil circuit. The second pressure value and the first pressure value can be selected as needed and are not explained here.

[0057] like Figure 1As shown, optionally, the hydraulic control system also includes a throttle valve 107; one end of the throttle valve 107 is connected to the oil supply circuit 110 at a first connecting position, the first connecting position is located between the connecting point where the oil supply circuit 110 is connected to the control port of the pressure relief valve 106 and the reversing valve 102, and the other end of the throttle valve 107 is connected to the oil return circuit 120.

[0058] Specifically, the throttle valve 107 has a normally closed valve body 200 structure. During normal use, the throttle valve 107 is in a closed state. When maintenance is required, the throttle valve 107 can be opened, allowing the hydraulic oil in the oil inlet circuit to flow through the throttle valve 107 and the oil return circuit 120 into the oil tank 100, completing the pressure relief of the hydraulic oil in the oil inlet circuit below the first pressure value, facilitating inspection and system maintenance. At this time, the hydraulic source 109 generally stops providing hydraulic pressure to the oil inlet circuit. For example, an on-off valve is provided near the hydraulic source 109 in the oil inlet circuit (this solution is not shown).

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the hydraulic control system further includes a valve body 200 ( Figure 1 The valve body 200 is provided with multiple oil circuits and multiple sub-valves, the multiple sub-valves including a first check valve 104, a logic valve 105 and a pressure relief valve 106; the multiple oil circuits include a main oil inlet oil circuit 210, a main oil return oil circuit 220, a first oil circuit 230, a second oil circuit 240 and a third oil circuit 250;

[0060] One end of the main oil inlet circuit 210 is provided with a first external connection interface 211 for communicating with (the oil inlet of) the reversing valve 102, and the other end is provided with a second external connection interface 212 for communicating with the hydraulic source 109. The first one-way valve 104 is provided on the main oil inlet circuit 210 (for example, the main oil inlet circuit 210 extends along a first direction and forms the first external connection interface 211 and the second external connection interface 212 at both ends, respectively);

[0061] One end of the main oil return line 220 is provided with a third external connection interface 221 for communicating with (the oil return port of) the reversing valve 102, and the other end is provided with a fourth external connection interface 222 for communicating with the oil tank 100 (for example, the main oil return line 220 is extended along the first direction);

[0062] One end of the second oil circuit 240 is connected to the main oil inlet circuit 210 at the inlet of the first one-way valve 104, and the other end is connected to the main oil return circuit 220. The second oil circuit 240 is provided with a logic valve 105;

[0063] The third oil circuit 250 is connected to the main oil return circuit 220 and is connected to the control port of the logic valve 105. The pressure relief valve 106 is provided on the third oil circuit 250.

[0064] The first oil circuit 230 is connected to the main oil inlet circuit 210 at the outlet of the first one-way valve 104, and the first oil circuit 230 is connected to the control port of the pressure relief valve 106. The first oil circuit 230 is correspondingly provided with a fifth external connection interface 231, and the fifth external connection interface 231 is used to communicate with the accumulator 103.

[0065] Illustratively, the main oil inlet circuit 210 and the main oil return circuit 220 are both extended in the first direction, and the first oil circuit 230, the second oil circuit 240 and the third oil circuit 250 are all extended in the second direction. The first direction and the second direction can be arranged at right angles.

[0066] It should be understood that the valve body 200 can be designed as a split structure or an integral structure. The split structure can reduce costs, while the integral structure can improve reliability.

[0067] In this way, the valve body 200 can integrate the main oil inlet circuit 210, the main oil return circuit 220, the first one-way valve 104, the logic valve 105 and the pressure relief valve 106, etc., which can reduce space occupancy and can provide interface quality to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of leakage.

[0068] Furthermore, the multiple sub-valves also include the aforementioned throttle valve 107 and / or overflow valve 108, and correspondingly, the multiple oil circuits also include a fourth oil circuit 260 and / or a fifth oil circuit 270; the fourth oil circuit 260 and the fifth oil circuit 270 are both extended along the second direction, and the two ends of the fourth oil circuit 260 are respectively connected to the main oil inlet circuit 210 and the main oil return circuit 220, the overflow valve 108 is arranged on the fourth oil circuit 260, and the two ends of the fifth oil circuit 270 are respectively connected to the main oil inlet circuit 210 and the main oil return circuit 220, and the throttle valve 107 is arranged on the fifth oil circuit 270.

[0069] like Figure 1 As shown, optionally, a pressure measuring connection interface and / or a temperature measuring connection interface is further provided on the valve body 200; wherein, the pressure measuring connection interface is used to connect to the first pressure sensor 4 or to connect to the pressure measuring joint 5, and the temperature measuring connection interface is used to connect to the temperature switch 6 or the plug. When the temperature switch 6 is triggered, corresponding protection operations can be performed, etc., which can adopt relevant technologies.

[0070] Furthermore, the pressure measurement connection interface includes one or more of a sixth external connection interface 251, a seventh external connection interface 261, an eighth external connection interface 271, and a ninth external connection interface 232; wherein the sixth external connection interface 251 (located at one end of the third oil circuit 250 and) is connected to the control port of the logic valve 105; the seventh external connection interface 261 is connected to the main oil inlet oil circuit 210, and the connection position is located between the connection point where the main oil inlet oil circuit 210 is connected to the second oil circuit 240 and the second external connection interface 212 (for example, the fourth oil circuit 260 is close to the end of the main oil inlet oil circuit 210 and penetrates the valve body 200 to form the seventh external connection interface). The eighth external connection interface 271 is in communication with the main oil inlet circuit 210, and the communication position is between the connection point between the main oil inlet circuit 210 and the first oil circuit 230 and the first external connection interface 211 (for example, one end of the fifth oil circuit 270 near the main oil inlet circuit 210 passes through the valve body 200 to form the eighth external connection interface 271); the ninth external connection interface 232 is in communication with the first oil circuit 230 (for example, both ends of the first oil circuit 230 pass through the valve body 200 to form the fifth external connection interface 231 at one end near the connection point with the main oil inlet circuit 210, and the ninth external connection interface 232 at the other end);

[0071] The temperature measurement connection interface includes a tenth external connection interface 272 and / or an eleventh external connection interface 262. The tenth external connection interface 272 is connected to the main return oil circuit 220, and the connection position is located between the connection point where the third oil circuit 250 is connected to the main return oil circuit 220 and the third external connection interface 221 (for example, one end of the fifth oil circuit 270 close to the main return oil circuit 220 passes through the valve body 200 and forms the tenth external connection interface 272); the eleventh external connection interface 262 is connected to the main return oil circuit 220, and the connection position is located between the connection point where the third oil circuit 250 is connected to the main return oil circuit 220 and the fourth external connection interface 222 (for example, one end of the fourth oil circuit 260 close to the main return oil circuit 220 passes through the valve body 200 and forms the eleventh external connection interface 262).

[0072] In this way, when necessary, pressure measurement operations can be performed at each pressure measurement connection interface to provide a reliable basis for determining the location of the hydraulic oil leakage inside the valve body 200, thereby facilitating rapid locating of the leakage point.

[0073] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides a battery box protection system, which includes a protective cover 3 and a hydraulic control system as described in the above embodiment. The protective cover 3 can be movably arranged at the battery exchange channel of the vehicle, and the hydraulic actuator 101 of the hydraulic control system is driven and connected to the protective cover 3.

[0074] The battery box protection system has all the beneficial effects of the hydraulic control system and will not be described in detail here.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the battery box protection system also includes a cargo box 7, which includes a box body 71 and a brim 72 arranged at the front end of the box body 71. The front end of the brim 72 is formed with a first protective portion 721 and a battery-exchange gap 722 distributed along the left and right directions of the vehicle. The lower part of the first protective portion 721 is used to set the vehicle's cab 91, and the battery-exchange gap 722 is used to form a battery-exchange channel. The protective cover 3 is rotatably connected to the brim 72.

[0076] In this case, the cab 91 and battery box 92 are distributed along the left and right directions of the wide-body vehicle. For example, the cab 91 is only provided on the left front end of the wide-body vehicle, and the battery box 92 and other components are arranged on the right side of the cab 91. However, it should be understood that if the wide-body vehicle is wide enough, the wide-body vehicle can also be equipped with two cabs 91 on the left and right, and the battery box 92 is arranged between the two cabs 91. This will not be explained in detail here.

[0077] It should be noted that in some methods, when replacing the battery, the battery box 92 is directly lifted out from the battery replacement gap 722, but in other methods, it is also possible to only lift the battery rack and battery inside the battery box 92 for replacement. This is not a limitation, and this manual will take the former case as an example for explanation.

[0078] In this way, the brim 72 of the cargo box 7 is used to form a first protective part 721 and a battery-exchange gap 722. The first protective part 721 can form a protection for the cab 91, and the battery-exchange gap 722 can form a battery-exchange channel. The first protective part 721 and the battery-exchange gap 722 are distributed along the left and right directions of the wide-body vehicle. At this time, the wide-body vehicle uses the space in the left and right directions where the front cab 91 is located to arrange the battery box 92, avoiding arranging the battery box 92 between the cab 91 and the front plate of the cargo box 7, and avoiding compressing the space of the wide-body vehicle in the front and rear directions. The spatial structure is reasonably arranged, and there is no need to significantly adjust the size of the wide-body vehicle cargo box 7 in the front and rear directions, and it is highly practical.

[0079] Optionally, the battery box protection system also includes a pressure alarm switch (not shown in the figure), and the pressure detection unit of the pressure alarm switch is arranged at the edge of the battery replacement gap 722 and / or the bottom of the protective cover 3.

[0080] For example, the detection value of the pressure detection unit of the pressure alarm switch set at the edge of the battery exchange gap 722 can reflect the collision between the battery box 92 or battery rack hoisted during battery exchange and the edge of the battery exchange gap 722. When the detection value exceeds the first preset value, an alarm can be issued to remind the battery exchange personnel to be careful. The detection value of the pressure detection unit of the pressure alarm switch at the bottom of the protective cover 3 can reflect the collision between the protective cover 3 and the lower components. For example, when the battery box 92 is deformed due to a wide-body vehicle collision and contacts the bottom of the protective cover 3, and the detection value exceeds the second preset value, an alarm can be issued. The hydraulic actuator 101 can also be controlled to move so that the protective cover 3 moves upward relative to the battery box 92 so that the detection value is within the preset range, thereby avoiding the protective cover 3 from forming excessive obstruction to the battery box 92 from above, causing the battery box 92 to bulge in other directions again and affecting the battery safety performance.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the battery box protection system also includes a position detection sensor 8, which is arranged on the brim 72 and located on the movement path of the protective cover 3 to detect the position of the protective cover 3 relative to the battery replacement gap 722.

[0082] Exemplarily, the hydraulic actuator 101 is a telescopic oil cylinder. A notch is provided on the rear side wall of the brim 72 at the battery-swap notch 722. One end of the telescopic oil cylinder is hingedly connected to a first support provided in the notch, and the other end is hingedly connected to a second support provided at the bottom of the protective cover 3. A third support is provided on the protective cover 3, extending rearward beyond the rear edge of the protective cover. A fourth support is provided on the top of the brim 72, and the third and fourth supports are hingedly connected. The telescopic oil cylinder drives the protective cover 3 to switch between a first position that opens the battery-swap notch 722 and a second position that closes the battery-swap notch 722.

[0083] The position detection sensor 8 corresponds to the first position setting and / or the second position setting, which can avoid the telescopic cylinder from being overdriven and affecting its service life, or can avoid the telescopic cylinder from being driven into insufficient position and failing to play the expected protective role, or can avoid the protective cover 3 from colliding due to the battery replacement operation when the telescopic cylinder is not driven into sufficient position.

[0084] It should be understood that at this time, the side walls at the battery exchange gap 722 and the bottom of the protective cover 3 can be provided with anti-collision structures such as rubber pads, which will not be explained here.

[0085] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a wide-body vehicle, which includes the battery box protection system of the above embodiment.

[0086] Although the present disclosure is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
