At present, the medium-tonnage vehicles generally adopt a large-displacement single pump to supply oil. The maximum flow of the system is designed according to the lifting demand. However, the flow demand of steering and tilting is far less than that of lifting. In actual work, the flow of steering and tilting is excessive, and energy is wasted seriously.

When they are operated jointly, there is mutual interference, and problems such as steering lag and tilting speed reduction occur, and the operation comfort is poor. At the same time, in order to meet the stringent emission requirements, the engine can only output large torque at high speed. At low speed, the torque is small, and the power response is slow. However, the industrial vehicle requires the engine to provide sufficient torque at low speed to drive the hydraulic system to complete the full-load operation. At this time, the engine is prone to stall, which causes the vehicle to be unable to work normally. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 In the embodiments of the present application, a double-pump hydraulic system for flow dividing and combining includes a hydraulic oil tank 1, an oil suction filter 2, a first oil pump 3 and a second oil pump 5, a multiplex valve 6, an inclination oil cylinder 7, a lifting oil cylinder 8, a steering oil cylinder 9, a steering gear 4, and the multiplex valve 6 includes a steering priority valve 61, a flow detection valve 62, a flow dividing valve 63, an unloading valve 64, a lifting valve 65, and an inclination valve 66.

[0022] The multiplex valve 6 is provided with an oil port P1, the oil port P1 is communicated with an oil outlet end of the first oil pump 3, the oil liquid is supplied to the steering gear 4 through the steering priority valve 61 as needed, the excess oil liquid flows to an a oil port of the flow detection valve 62 through an EF oil port, the flow detection valve 62 is used for detecting the flow of the EF oil port, a b oil port of the flow detection valve 62 is connected with a supply oil pipeline and a return oil pipeline, the supply oil pipeline is provided with a one-way valve, the one-way valve is communicated with the lifting valve 65 and the inclination valve 66 after the one-way valve, the hydraulic oil can only flow from the flow detection valve 62 to the lifting valve 65 and the inclination valve 66 through the one-way valve, the return oil pipeline is provided with the flow dividing valve 63, a spring cavity of the flow dividing valve 63 is provided with the unloading valve 64, an oil inlet of the unloading valve 64 is connected with the spring cavity of the flow dividing valve 63, the a oil port of the flow detection valve 62 is connected with a left cavity of the unloading valve 64, a right cavity of the unloading valve 64 is provided with a spring and connected with the b oil port of the flow detection valve 62, a valve core of the unloading valve 64 is in a normal open position, the multiplex valve 6 is provided with an oil port P2, the oil port P2 is connected with the second oil pump 5, and the oil liquid is supplied to the lifting valve 65 and the inclination valve 66, the multiplex valve 6 is provided with a return oil port T, one end of the return oil port T is connected with the hydraulic oil tank 1, and the other end of the return oil port T is communicated with the steering priority valve 61, the return oil pipeline, the lifting valve 65 and the inclination valve 66.

[0023] When the vehicle is running, the first oil pump 3 outlet oil first passes through the multi-way valve 6 oil port P1 into the priority valve 61, due to the CF oil port of the steering gear 4 is closed, under the action of the differential pressure △P1 on the steering priority valve 61, the valve core of the steering priority valve 61 moves upward, the P1 port oil flows to the flow detection valve 62 through the EF port, and finally returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the lifting valve 65 and the tilt valve 66. The second oil pump 5 outlet oil directly returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the lifting valve 65 and the tilt valve 66.

[0024] When the vehicle needs to steer, the P oil port of the steering gear 4 is connected with the L or R port of the steering cylinder 9, and the load pressure of the steering cylinder 9 is fed back to the spring cavity of the steering priority valve 61 through the Ls oil port of the multi-way valve 6, pushing the valve core of the steering priority valve 61 to move downward, the steering priority valve 61 supplies oil to the steering gear 4, and the vehicle steering is completed.

[0025] When the lifting is operated at low speed of the engine, the oil flows from the a oil port to the b oil port of the flow detection valve 62, and the differential pressure through the flow detection valve 62 is zero due to the small flow, the pressures of the a oil port and the b oil port are equal, the unloading valve 64 is always in the always-on position under the action of the spring force, the feedback pressure of the lifting cylinder 8 is connected with the T oil port of the multi-way valve 6, and under the action of the high pressure of the b port, the valve core of the split-flow valve 63 moves rightward, connecting the b port with the T oil port of the multi-way valve 6. At this time, the first oil pump 3 outlet oil returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 directly from the split-flow valve 63 through the EF oil port of the steering priority valve 61, so that the first oil pump 3 only works at low pressure of steering, and the second oil pump 5 outlet oil supplies lifting alone. At low speed and low torque of the engine, the second oil pump 5 works at large torque, the first oil pump 3 works at low torque, the driving torque of the hydraulic system is reduced, and the engine is prevented from stalling at low speed.

[0026] When the lifting is operated at high speed of the engine, the oil flows from the a oil port to the b oil port of the flow detection valve 62, and the differential pressure △P is formed between the a port and the b port, at this time, the pressure of the a oil port is introduced to the left cavity of the unloading valve 64, and the pressure of the b oil port is introduced to the spring cavity of the unloading valve 64. Under the action of the differential pressure △P, the valve core moves rightward to compress the spring, the feedback pressure of the lifting cylinder 8 is disconnected with the T oil port, and the feedback pressure is connected with the spring cavity of the split-flow valve 63 at the same time, pushing the valve core of the split-flow valve 63 to move leftward, disconnecting the P1 port with the hydraulic oil tank 1. At this time, the oil of the P1 and P2 oil ports of the multi-way valve 6 is forced to flow together, realizing the maximum flow output of the lifting valve 65, and meeting the requirement of the maximum lifting speed of the vehicle.

[0027] When the tilt is operated, the second oil pump 5 outlet oil passes through the tilt valve 66 to the tilt cylinder 7 through the lifting valve 65, the split-flow valve 63 spring cavity is connected with the T oil port of the multi-way valve 6 through the c port of the lifting valve 65, under the action of the high pressure of the b oil port, the spool of the split-flow valve 63 moves to the right, the b oil port is connected with the T oil port of the multi-way valve 6, at this time, the first oil pump 3 oil passes through the steering priority valve 61 and then directly returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the split-flow valve 63, the second oil pump 5 is used for tilting alone, the first oil pump 3 is unloaded and returned to the hydraulic oil tank, the original single pump system is a large displacement oil pump for tilting, and the excess oil is overflowed back to the tank through the safety valve, the system is seriously heated, and the split-flow system of the embodiment can reduce the system energy consumption.

[0028] When the steering and tilt are combined, the first oil pump 3 outlet oil flows to the steering gear 4 through the steering priority valve 61, the excess oil directly returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the split-flow valve 63, and the second oil pump 5 outlet oil flows to the tilt cylinder 7 through the tilt valve 66, so that the steering and tilt are independently supplied by two independent oil pumps, and the problems of steering blockage and tilt speed reduction in the single pump system during combined operation of the steering and tilt are avoided.
