The above description is merely illustrative of the applications and not restrictive.

[0032] In the description of the present application, it needs to be understood that the use of the words "first", "second", and the like words of similar meaning to define parts are only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding parts, and the above words have no special meaning unless otherwise stated, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the hydraulic oil pumping device includes a drive motor 1, a variable pump assembly 4, and a fixed displacement pump 5 that rotates coaxially with the variable pump assembly 4. The variable pump assembly 4 includes a variable pump body 4.1, a pump variable small plunger cylinder 4.5 for adjusting the displacement of the variable pump, a pump variable large plunger cylinder 4.6, a pump control electro-proportional control valve 4.4 for controlling the flow of hydraulic oil into the pump variable small plunger cylinder 4.5 and the pump variable large plunger cylinder 4.6, a shuttle valve 4.2 whose inlet is connected to the fixed displacement pump 5 and the variable pump body 4.1 respectively and whose outlet is connected to the pump control electro-proportional control valve 4.4, and an oil filter device 4.3 connected between the shuttle valve 4.2 and the pump control electro-proportional control valve 4.4.

[0037] The overflow valve 7.1 is connected between the variable pump assembly 4 and the oil tank.

[0038] Hydraulic actuators are used to perform actions such as moving loads and lifting loads. A hydraulic actuator includes a hydraulic actuator, a proportional directional valve, a check valve, and a first pressure sensor 8.1.

[0039] The hydraulic actuator includes a first working oil port b1 and a second working oil port b2 for controlling different actuation actions. The hydraulic actuator includes hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic motor and other hydraulic actuating devices. The proportional directional valve includes a first oil port and a second oil port connected with the variable pump assembly 4 and the tank respectively, and the proportional directional valve further includes a third oil port and a fourth oil port connected with the first working oil port b1 and the second working oil port b2 of the hydraulic actuator respectively. The proportional directional valve has a first valve position, a second valve position and a third valve position; in the first valve position of the proportional valve, the first oil port and the third oil port are communicated, and the second oil port and the fourth oil port are communicated; in the second valve position of the proportional valve, the first oil port and the fourth oil port are communicated, and the second oil port and the third oil port are communicated; in the third valve position of the proportional valve, the second oil port, the third oil port and the fourth oil port are all communicated, and the first oil port is not communicated with the second oil port. The check valve, in the first valve position and the third valve position of the proportional directional valve, the inlet of the check valve is connected with the third oil port of the proportional directional valve, and in the second valve position of the proportional directional valve, the inlet of the check valve is connected with the second oil port of the proportional directional valve; the first pressure sensor 8.1 is used for detecting the pressure of the inlet of the check valve. In the embodiment as shown in the figure, two sets of hydraulic actuating devices are included, the hydraulic actuators of the two sets of hydraulic actuating devices are respectively the telescopic cylinder 11 and the bidirectional motor 9, the proportional directional valves of the two sets of hydraulic actuating devices are respectively the first electromagnetic proportional directional valve 7.5 and the second electromagnetic proportional directional valve 7.7, and the check valves of the two sets of hydraulic actuating devices are respectively the first check valve 7.4 and the second check valve 7.6.

[0040] The inlet and the outlet of the first valve 7.2 are connected with the variable pump assembly 4 and the tank respectively, the first valve 7.2 includes a first elastic control end and a first hydraulic control port a1. The first elastic control end provides an elastic force for moving the valve body of the first valve 7.2 to a direction of closing the communication passage between the inlet and the outlet of the first valve 7.2, and the first hydraulic control port a1 provides a hydraulic oil pressure for moving the valve body of the first valve 7.2 to a direction of closing the communication passage between the inlet and the outlet of the first valve 7.2. The first hydraulic control port a1 is connected with the outlet of the check valve of the hydraulic actuating device, and the first valve 7.2 further includes a second hydraulic control port a2. The second hydraulic control port a2 provides a hydraulic oil pressure for moving the valve body of the first valve 7.2 to a direction of opening the communication passage between the inlet and the outlet of the first valve 7.2, and the second hydraulic control port a2 of the first valve 7.2 is communicated with the inlet of the first valve 7.2.

[0041] The control device 6 is signal connected with the proportional directional valve, the first pressure sensor 8.1 and the variable pump assembly 4, and the control device 6 is used for controlling the actions of the proportional directional valve, the first pressure sensor 8.1 and the variable pump assembly 4.

[0042] The construction machinery pump-controlled hydraulic system of the embodiment can realize the advantages of high efficiency and low energy consumption when only one hydraulic actuator of at least two sets of hydraulic actuators is in action, for example, driving a light load. At this time, the first valve 7.2 is not opened, that is, the oil inlet and outlet of the first valve 7.2 are not communicated, and the volumetric speed of the load can be adjusted by changing the output flow of the variable pump assembly 4. When the hydraulic actuators of multiple sets of hydraulic actuators are in action at the same time, the output flow of the variable pump assembly 4 can be adjusted to make the oil inlet and outlet of the first valve 7.2 communicated, so as to maintain the constant pressure difference between the oil inlet and outlet of the proportional directional valve of each hydraulic actuator. The action speed of each hydraulic actuator is proportional to the opening area between the oil inlet and outlet of the proportional directional valve, so that proportional speed regulation can be realized by the proportional directional valve, and the system is stable and reliable, and has good control performance. At the same time, since the first pressure sensor 8.1 is arranged, when the hydraulic actuator of a single set of hydraulic actuators is in action, the action speed of the hydraulic actuator can be calculated by combining the detection result of the first pressure sensor 8.1 of the other hydraulic actuators with the size data of the oil return pipeline. For example, a back pressure valve is arranged on the oil return pipeline leading to the oil tank. Since the proportional directional valve of the non-acting hydraulic actuator is in the third valve position, the detection result of the first pressure sensor of the non-acting hydraulic actuator is the return oil pressure of the hydraulic actuator of the acting hydraulic actuator, which is also the pressure difference on both sides of the throttle of the back pressure valve. According to the size of the throttle flow area of the back pressure valve, the return flow can be calculated according to the structure size of the back pressure valve combined with the throttle flow formula, so that the action speed of the acting hydraulic actuator can be obtained according to the structure size data of the acting hydraulic actuator (such as the piston area of the hydraulic cylinder). Therefore, the control device 6 can accurately control the action speed of the hydraulic actuator according to the calculation result.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The construction machinery pump-controlled hydraulic system further comprises a first throttle valve 7.8 arranged between the oil outlet of the check valve and the first hydraulic control port a1, and a second throttle valve 7.3 connected between the first throttle valve and the oil tank. Through the arrangement, the oil circuit where the check valve is arranged can be unloaded when the construction machinery pump-controlled hydraulic system is not working.

[0044] In some embodiments, the working machine pump-controlled hydraulic system further comprises a second pressure sensor 8.2 connected to the control device 6 for detecting the pressure of the first oil port of the proportional directional valve. The second pressure sensor is arranged to detect the pressure of the first oil port of the proportional directional valve of each hydraulic actuator, and in combination with the detection result of the first pressure sensor 8.1, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of each proportional directional valve can be obtained, and in combination with the structural size data of each proportional directional valve, the flow rate of the hydraulic oil to each hydraulic actuator of each proportional directional valve can be calculated according to the orifice flow formula, and thus the action speed of the hydraulic actuator of each hydraulic actuator can be calculated.

[0045] In some embodiments, the proportional directional valve, the second valve, and the overflow valve of each hydraulic actuator are integrated into a multi-way valve 7, the multi-way valve 7 is provided with a Ls1 port, a Ls2 port, and the like connected to the first pressure sensor, the multi-way valve 7 is provided with an Mp port connected to the second pressure sensor 8.2, the multi-way valve 7 is provided with a P port connected to the variable pump assembly, and the multi-way valve 7 is provided with a T port connected to the oil tank.

[0046] In some embodiments, the at least two sets of hydraulic actuators include a heavy load hydraulic actuator, the hydraulic actuating element of the heavy load hydraulic actuator includes a heavy load lifting actuating element for lifting a heavy load, the first working oil port b1 of the heavy load lifting actuating element is used for inputting hydraulic oil to lift the heavy load, the second working oil port b2 of the heavy load lifting actuating element is used for inputting hydraulic oil to lower the heavy load, the heavy load hydraulic actuator further includes a second valve 10 connected between the heavy load lifting actuating element and the proportional directional valve of the heavy load hydraulic actuator, the first valve port of the second valve 10 is connected with the third oil port of the proportional directional valve of the heavy load hydraulic actuator, the second valve port of the second valve 10 is connected with the first working oil port b1 of the heavy load lifting actuating element, the second valve 10 has two valve positions, in the first valve position of the second valve 10, the second valve port and the first valve port of the second valve 10 are connected through an internal one-way valve 10.1, the second valve port of the second valve 10 is connected with the oil outlet of the internal one-way valve 10.1, the first valve port of the second valve 10 is connected with the oil inlet of the internal one-way valve 10.1, in the second valve position of the second valve 10, the second valve port and the first valve port of the second valve 10 are connected through an internal throttle valve 10.2, the second valve 10 further includes a second elastic control end for moving the valve body of the second valve 10 to the first valve position and an oil control port for moving the valve body of the second valve 10 to the second valve position, the oil control port is connected with the second working oil port b2, and the flow area of the internal throttle valve 10.2 gradually increases during the switching of the second valve 10 to the second valve position. The internal one-way valve 10.1 and the internal throttle valve 10.2 can be separate valve assemblies in the second valve 10 or integrated structures capable of achieving the same function. In the embodiment, when the heavy load lifting actuating element is used to lift the heavy load, the hydraulic oil output by the proportional directional valve of the heavy load hydraulic actuator enters the second valve 10 through the first valve port of the second valve 10, at this time the second valve is in the first valve position, the hydraulic oil enters the internal one-way valve 10.1, and then flows out of the internal one-way valve 10.1, and then flows out of the second valve port of the second valve and enters the heavy load lifting actuating element through the first working oil port b1, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the heavy load lifting actuating element is a hydraulic oil cylinder, at this time the lifting speed of the heavy load can be smoothly controlled by adjusting the flow of the hydraulic oil entering the second valve 10 through the first valve port of the second valve 10. When the heavy load is lowered, the hydraulic oil output by the proportional directional valve of the heavy load hydraulic actuator directly enters the heavy load lifting actuating element through the second working oil port b2, and at the same time the hydraulic oil acts on the oil control port of the second valve, when the hydraulic oil pressure is small, the flow area of the internal throttle valve 10.2 is small, the second valve is closer to the first valve position, the hydraulic oil flowing out of the first working oil port b1 of the heavy load lifting actuating element enters the second valve through the second valve port of the second valve, and the hydraulic oil does not pass through or passes through a small amount of the second valve, at this time the lowering speed of the heavy load is slow.When the hydraulic oil pressure increases, the flow area of the internal throttle valve 10.2 increases at this time, the second valve is closer to the second valve position state, the hydraulic oil flowing out of the first working oil port b1 of the heavy load lifting actuator enters the second valve from the second valve port of the second valve, and then flows out from the first valve port of the second valve through the internal throttle valve 10.2 more quickly, that is, the heavy load descending speed is faster at this time, that is, the pressure of the hydraulic oil directly entering the heavy load lifting actuator through the second working oil port b2 from the proportional directional valve output of the heavy load hydraulic actuator can directly control the heavy load descending speed, and accurate and smooth control of the heavy load descending speed is realized.
