Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hydraulic retarder, and particularly relates to a float type one-way valve of a hydraulic retarder. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hydraulic retarder is an auxiliary braking device, and the working chamber of the hydraulic retarder is composed of a rotor with vanes and a stator also with vanes. The braking is achieved by using a control medium to act on the working medium and press the working medium into the working chamber, and the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted into the heat energy of the working medium through the high-speed rotation of the rotor.

[0003] During the working of the retarder, the working medium (oil) needs to be pressed into the working chamber, and in order to ensure that the oil is fully filled, the air in the working chamber needs to be discharged. During the process of pressing the oil and discharging the gas in the working chamber, and during the working process of the retarder, part of the oil-gas mixture will be discharged through the exhaust hole. Only when the oil-gas mixture is fully and effectively separated, the use performance of the retarder can be ensured. However, how to completely and effectively separate the oil-gas mixture of the retarder has been a technical difficulty.

[0004] During the working of the hydraulic retarder, the working oil is pressed into the working chamber by using high-pressure gas, and the braking torque is generated through the interaction of the stator and the rotor in the working chamber. At the moment of pressing the oil, a small part of the oil-gas mixture will be discharged from the exhaust hole of the working chamber. The discharged oil-gas mixture needs to be separated, so that the oil flows back into the chamber, and only the gas is discharged to the outside. If effective oil-gas separation cannot be achieved, the oil will be sprayed from the exhaust port of the working chamber, and long-term serious oil spraying will result in a decrease in braking force, which affects the use performance of the retarder.

[0005] Therefore, an oil-gas separation device which is convenient to process and assemble is urgently needed to effectively separate the oil-gas mixture in the exhaust process of the working chamber of the retarder, and to reduce the probability of failure of the retarder.

[0006] At present, in the hydraulic retarder, in order to discharge the air in the working chamber of the stator and the rotor and the gas generated by vaporization, a float structure can be used, but the structure is complex, the diameter of the float is large, the space occupied is large, and the arrangement is not conducive. The float has a special lower shell to form a small subassembly, and the cost is high. The sealing surface of the float adopts a partial spherical shape, although the valve opening can be increased, the stress is not good, and the thickness of the float steel plate needs to be increased, so the volume of the float is large.
