The dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8 is equipped with a synchronously rotating first pump / motor 81 and a second pump / motor 82. The first pump / motor 81 is connected between the reversing device and the output end of the first reversing valve 3; the accumulator 6 is used to temporarily store the energy recovered by the dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8; the energy-saving valve group 7 is used to connect the dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8 and the accumulator 6; the recovery check valve 15... The input end is connected to the output end of the reversing device, and the output end of the recovery check valve 15 is connected to the input end of the first pump / motor 81. When the slewing device brakes, the hydraulic oil flows through the reversing device and the recovery check valve 15 in sequence, driving the first pump / motor 81 to rotate. The second pump / motor 82 is driven by the first pump / motor 81 to rotate synchronously, storing the kinetic energy of the second pump / motor 82 in the accumulator 6. When the slewing device accelerates, the hydraulic oil flows through the first reversing valve 3, the first pump / motor 81, and the reversing device in sequence. The accumulator 6 releases energy to make the second pump / motor 82 rotate. The second pump / motor 82 drives the first pump / motor 81 to rotate, so as to cooperate with the hydraulic pump 2 to drive the slewing device to rotate.

[0059] In the process of using the rotary energy recovery and reuse system provided in this specific embodiment, when the rotary device rotates and is in an accelerated state, the hydraulic oil flows sequentially through the first reversing valve 3, the first pump / motor 81, the reversing device, and enters the rotary device, driving the rotary device to rotate. The accumulator 6 releases energy to make the second pump / motor 82 rotate. The second pump / motor 82 drives the first pump / motor 81 to rotate. The hydraulic oil flows through the first pump / motor 81, and the kinetic energy of the first pump / motor 81 is converted into the kinetic energy of the hydraulic oil to work with the hydraulic pump 2 to drive the rotary device to rotate. This can effectively reduce the output energy of the hydraulic pump 2 during the rotation process and achieve the effect of energy saving.

[0060] When the slewing device brakes, the speed of the slewing device decreases. During the hydraulic oil return process, it flows through the reversing device and the recovery check valve 15 in sequence, and drives the first pump / motor 81 to rotate. The second pump / motor 82 is driven by the first pump / motor 81 to rotate synchronously. The rotational kinetic energy of the second pump / motor 82 is stored in the accumulator 6 through the energy-saving valve group 7, realizing the energy recovery during the braking process of the slewing device.

[0062] In summary, the rotary energy recovery and reuse system provided in this specific embodiment can effectively reduce the energy output of the hydraulic pump 2 during rotation. By utilizing the dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8 for braking energy recovery and pressure regulation, it can achieve stable and complete recovery of braking energy under pressure regulation conditions in the energy storage system, improving the efficiency of braking energy recovery under transient high loads. Furthermore, the dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8 in this specific embodiment maintains a consistent rotation direction during state switching, ensuring a stable and efficient rotational state without requiring reverse acceleration during braking; this solves the problem of operational stability of the dual-variable hydraulic coupler 8 during the transition from rotary energy release to energy recovery.

Both the first anti-reverse valve 131 and the second anti-reverse valve 132 are connected in parallel with the rotary motor 11, and the first anti-reverse valve 131 and the second anti-reverse valve 132 are connected in opposite directions. Specifically, the oil inlet of the first anti-reverse valve 131 can be connected to the left side of the rotary motor 11, and the oil inlet of the second anti-reverse valve 132 can be connected to the right side of the rotary motor 11.
