A brake can decelerate, stop, or maintain a stopped state of moving parts, serving functions such as braking and positioning. Clutches and brakes have wide applications in industry. For friction clutches and disc brakes, engagement and disengagement are often achieved by the control system supplying or cutting off high-pressure working oil. Existing control systems for clutches and brakes often employ complex control valve groups to generate the working oil pressure required for clutch or brake engagement, resulting in increased control system weight and more complex control logic.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The pressure control mechanism provided by this invention achieves the regulation of working oil pressure for power equipment, including clutches and brakes, in a simple and efficient manner, thereby realizing effective control of the engagement and disengagement processes of clutches and brakes. It also reduces the weight of the entire unit and simplifies the control logic. Specifically, two elastic elements with different stiffnesses are connected in series. One elastic element with greater stiffness is arranged around the outer periphery of the first valve body and abuts against the second flange on the first valve body, while the less stiff elastic element abuts against the second valve body. When the power equipment injects working fluid into the first cavity, the working fluid fills the first cavity and pushes the first valve body to move into the third cavity. At this time, the second flange of the first valve body compresses the elastic component. Due to the lower stiffness of the second elastic element, it preferentially experiences greater compression. The power equipment continuously injects working fluid into the first cavity. At this time, the second elastic element undergoes significant compression. As the working fluid continues to be injected, the elastic element is continuously compressed until the first cavity and the second cavity are connected. The working fluid in the first cavity will reach the first-level pressure value. The equipment receives a command and opens the fourth through hole, and the working fluid in the first cavity enters the third cavity. The working fluid compresses the first valve body and the second valve body at the same time. The second valve body moves towards the first cavity, continuously compressing the elastic element until the second elastic element reaches its compression limit. As the working fluid continues to be injected, the first valve body moves towards the third cavity. At this time, the first elastic element begins to undergo significant compression. When the first cavity and the second cavity are connected, the working fluid in the first cavity will reach the second-level pressure value. This achieves two-level pressure control for power equipment, including clutches and brakes.
[0019] 2. The pressure control mechanism provided by the present invention can adjust the working oil pressure of power equipment, including clutches and brakes, by using a combination of springs with different stiffnesses. It can meet the adjustment of working oil pressure for power equipment of different specifications and models, including clutches and brakes, simply by changing the stiffness of the springs, which has the advantages of simplicity and high efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] The present invention provides a pressure control mechanism, which will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the order of description of the following embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments of the present invention, and each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a pressure control mechanism includes: a housing 1, wherein a first cavity 11, a second cavity 12, and a third cavity 13 are sequentially and interconnected inside the housing, the first cavity 11 being used to communicate with a device; a first valve body, which is movably disposed through and in the first cavity 11, the second cavity 12, and the third cavity 13, and is fixedly provided with a first flange 21 and a second flange 22, the first flange 21 being movable between the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12, and the second flange 22 being movable between the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13; and a second valve body 3, which is movably disposed in the third cavity 13, one side of the second valve body 3 abutting against the first valve body. The other side abuts or faces the housing 1; an elastic component is located in the third cavity 13 and sleeved on the outer periphery of the first valve body, one end of the elastic component abuts against the second flange 22, and the other end abuts against the housing 1; wherein, the elastic component includes a first elastic element 41 and a second elastic element 42 connected to each other, the stiffness of the first elastic element 41 is greater than the stiffness of the second elastic element 42; a fourth through hole (not shown) is provided on the housing 1 for connecting the first cavity 11 and the third cavity 13, a feedback module is provided in the fourth through hole, the feedback module is electrically connected to the device, and opens or closes the fourth through hole according to the instruction received by the device. The pressure control mechanism provided by this invention achieves simple and efficient regulation of the pressure and working oil pressure of power equipment, including clutches and brakes, thereby realizing effective control of the engagement and disengagement processes of clutches and brakes. It also reduces the overall weight of the unit and simplifies the control logic. Specifically, two elastic elements with different stiffnesses are connected in series (end-to-end). One of the elastic elements with greater stiffness (i.e., the first elastic element 41) is arranged around the outer periphery of the first valve body and abuts against the second flange 22 on the first valve body. Simultaneously, the less stiff elastic element (i.e., the second elastic element 42) abuts against the second valve body 3. When the device injects working fluid into the first cavity 11, the working fluid fills the first cavity 11 and pushes the first valve body. Moving towards the third cavity 13, the second flange 22 of the first valve body compresses the elastic component. Due to the lower stiffness of the second elastic element 42, it preferentially undergoes greater compression. The device continuously injects working fluid into the first cavity 11, causing the second elastic element 42 to be continuously compressed. When the first cavity 11 is connected to the second cavity 12, the working fluid in the first cavity 11 reaches the first-level pressure value. If the device receives an instruction and opens the fourth through hole, the working fluid in the first cavity 11 enters the third cavity 13. The working fluid simultaneously compresses the first valve body and the second valve body 3, causing the first elastic element 41 to begin to undergo significant compression. When the first cavity 11 is connected to the second cavity 12, the working fluid in the first cavity 11 will reach the second-level pressure value, thus achieving two-level pressure control for the device.Understandably, after the feedback module connects the first cavity 11 and the third cavity 13, the working fluid from the device can sequentially enter the third cavity 13 through the first through hole 101, the first cavity 11, and the fourth through hole. The working fluid in the third cavity 13 will exert a force on the second valve body 3, pushing the second valve body 3 towards the first cavity 11 and / or the first valve body, thereby compressing the elastic component. This forms a secondary pressure on the working fluid in the first cavity 11, whereby the second valve body 3 and the first valve body compress the elastic component together. It is worth noting that the feedback module determines when to connect the fourth through hole based on the instructions received by the device. Furthermore, it is understood that the instructions received by the device can be manually issued by the operator or automatically issued by the detection module in the device after detecting changes in specific parameters.
[0026] It is worth noting that the "device" described in this invention specification can be a power device, and in some specific embodiments, the device can be a power device including clutches and brakes; the "working fluid" described in this invention specification can be lubricating oil; therefore, the pressure control mechanism provided by this invention can realize two-stage pressure control for power devices including clutches and brakes, and can conveniently and efficiently provide two-stage oil pressure to power devices including clutches and brakes.
[0027] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, springs with appropriate specifications and parameters may be selected as the first elastic element 41 and the second elastic element 42 according to the actual application scenario and specific design standards.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 has: a first through hole 101 communicating with the first cavity 11 and for connecting with the first module of the device; a second through hole communicating with the first cavity 11 and for connecting with the second module of the device; and a third through hole 201 communicating with the second cavity 12 and for connecting with the third module of the device. It is worth noting that in some embodiments of the present invention, the device can be a clutch or a brake. Accordingly, the first module can be the oil supply system of the clutch or brake, the second module can be the control oil circuit of the clutch or brake, and the third module can be the lubrication oil circuit of the clutch or brake.
[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, the feedback module includes a solenoid valve, which receives instructions from the device to open or close the fourth through-hole. It is understood that the specifications and parameters of the solenoid valve can be selected according to the actual application scenario.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure control mechanism further includes a limiting member 5, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of one end of the first valve body located within the third cavity 13 and abuts against the second valve body 3; the second elastic member 42 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the limiting member 5. Obviously, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hollow, tubular limiting member 5 allows at least a portion of the first valve body located at one end in the third cavity 13 to be inserted into the limiting member 5, thereby enabling the first valve body to move between the first cavity 11, the second cavity 12, and the third cavity 13. It is understood that the specific shape and size parameters of the limiting member 5 can be adjusted and selected according to actual application standards.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the second valve body 3 includes a base plate 31 and a cylindrical wall 32 that is connected to the outer edge of the base plate 31. The base plate 31 and the cylindrical wall 32 enclose a receiving cavity 30, which communicates with a portion of the third cavity 13. The cylindrical wall 32 is fitted to the inner wall of the third cavity 13. One end of the first valve body located in the third cavity 13 and the limiting member 5 are both received in the receiving cavity 30, and the limiting member 5 abuts against the base plate 31. Specifically, after the fourth through hole connects the first cavity 11 and the third cavity 13, a portion of the working fluid originally located in the first cavity 11 enters the third cavity 13. This portion of the working fluid then pushes the second valve body 3 toward the first cavity 11 and / or the first valve body, thereby enabling the two valve bodies to compress the elastic component together to pressurize the working fluid located in the first cavity 11.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a third flange 33 is provided around the side of the cylindrical wall 32 opposite to the receiving cavity 30. The third flange 33 abuts against the inner wall of the third cavity 13. The third flange 33 and the cylindrical wall 32 divide the third cavity 13 into a first region 131, a second region 132, and a third region 133. The first region 131 accommodates the second valve body 3, and the second region 132 is provided with the fourth through hole. The working fluid in the first cavity 11 enters the second region 132 through the fourth through hole. The working fluid in the second region 132 drives the third flange 33 to move in the third cavity 13, thereby driving the second valve body 3 to move toward the second flange 22. As a result, the volume of the first region 131 and the third region 133 decreases and the volume of the second region 132 increases, or the volume of the first region 131 and the third region 133 increases and the volume of the second region 132 decreases. Obviously, the third flange 33 increases the contact area between the second valve body 3 and the working fluid entering the third cavity 13, thereby improving the pressure on the second valve body 3 from this part of the working fluid, so that this part of the working fluid can push the second valve body 3.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure control mechanism further includes a partition 6; the partition 6 has a through hole through which the first valve body passes. The partition 6 is disposed between the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42 to make the matching and connection relationship between the two elastic members more stable and reliable, and to avoid problems such as incorrect matching and connection between the two elastic members, such as insertion, embedding, and misalignment. It is understood that the shape and diameter of the through hole, the radial and thickness dimensions of the partition 6, and the material of the partition 6 can all be selected and adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure control mechanism further includes an adjusting member 7, which is attached to the side of the second flange 22 opposite to the first flange 21, and abuts against the adjusting member 7. The function of the adjusting member 7 is to finely adjust the pressure of the working fluid in the first cavity 11 by replacing the specifications of the adjusting member 7 when the elastic component has been selected, so that the pressure control mechanism provided by the present invention has better versatility and ease of operation for more practical application scenarios. Obviously, the parameters of the adjusting member 7, including shape, size, and material, can be selected and adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 has a first port 102 and a second port 103 at its two ends, respectively. The first port 102 is connected to the first cavity 11, and the second port 103 is connected to the third cavity 13. The pressure control mechanism also includes a first end cap 81 and a second end cap 82, with the first end cap 81 covering the first port 102 and the second end cap 82 covering the second port 103. Specifically, the first end cap 81 and the first port 102 are detachably connected, for example, by a threaded connection; the second end cap 82 and the second port 103 are also detachably connected, for example, by a threaded connection. This design facilitates the operator's disassembly or installation of the pressure control mechanism provided by the present invention, and facilitates the removal of various valve bodies, elastic components, partitions 6, and adjusting components 7 from inside the housing 1, thereby facilitating the replacement of new components. Obviously, the dimensions of the first port 102, the second port 103, the first end cap 81, and the second end cap 82 can be selected or adjusted according to actual needs.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 is provided with a first enclosure structure 14, which is disposed between the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12.

The first flange 21 abuts against the free end of the first enclosure structure 14. The first enclosure structure 14 serves to distinguish the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 and prevents the working medium in the first cavity 11 from freely exchanging with the working medium in the second cavity 12, so that the flow trend and pressure of the working medium in this pressure control mechanism are precisely controllable. It is understood that the specific dimensional parameters of the first enclosure structure 14 can be selected and adjusted according to actual design standards.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 1 is provided with a second enclosure structure 15, which is disposed between the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13. The root of the second enclosure structure 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13, and the free end of the second enclosure structure 15 extends away from the inner wall of the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13. The second flange 22 abuts against the free end of the second enclosure structure 15. The second enclosure structure 15 serves to distinguish the second cavity 12 and the third cavity 13 and prevents the working medium in the second cavity 12 from freely exchanging with the working medium in the third cavity 13, so that the flow trend and pressure of the working medium in this pressure control mechanism are precisely controllable. It is understood that the specific size and shape of the second enclosure structure 15 can be designed, selected and adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a fourth flange 23 is provided around the circumferential surface of the end of the first valve body opposite to the third cavity 13. The fourth flange 23 is received in the first port 102 and fits against the housing 1. Annular grooves 24 are provided around the outer circumferential surfaces of both the second flange 22 and the fourth flange 23, with the openings of the annular grooves 24 facing the housing 1. This design allows the first valve body to move back and forth inside the housing 1, wherein the fourth flange 23 can move back and forth between the first port 102 and the first cavity 11, enabling the first valve body to compress and release the restoring elastic component. Obviously, the shape and size of the fourth flange 23 can be selected and adjusted according to the actual application scenario.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the pressure control mechanism has a first direction 01 and a second direction 02 that are perpendicular to each other. Obviously, the first direction 01 is the same as the axial direction of the entire pressure control mechanism, the same as the axial direction of the first valve body, the same as the axial direction of the second valve body 3, and the same as the axial direction of the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42. The first end cap 81 and the second end cap 82 are arranged opposite each other at their ends in the first direction 01, and the first port 102 and the second port 103 are arranged opposite each other at their ends in the first direction 01.
