[0026] In use, the four-position six-way directional valve 2 drives the corresponding lifting oil cylinder, the spool valve 23 is operated by the handle, the steel balls 29 are positioned in different positioning grooves, and the functions of lifting, mid-positioning, lowering and floating of the gantry can be realized, and the specific working process is as follows.

[0027] 1. Lifting position

[0028] When the handle is moved inward, the spool valve 23 moves to the corresponding stroke, and the spool valve 23 is in the position from the middle to the lifting position. At this time, the mechanical lock 57 is in the positive unlocking position, and the spool valve 23 is in the positioning state, as shown in Figure 6 The process is as follows:

[0029] (1) Positive unlocking: first move the spool valve 23 so that the oil inlet P is connected with the working oil port A in the valve body 22, and the pressure oil enters the front cavity d of the large spool valve 11, pushes away the large spool valve 11 to overcome the action force of the outer return spring 15, and the pressure oil passes through the front radial hole 13 of the valve sleeve 9, the annular cavity of the oil outlet 8 outside the valve sleeve 9, the rear radial hole 14 of the valve sleeve 9, and then reaches the rear cavity n of the limiting seat 10, and then enters the inner hole of the valve sleeve 9 through the axial through hole 16 of the limiting plug 12, and then enters the lifting oil cylinder to start the lifting action;

[0030] (2) Positioning: continue to move the spool valve 23 to overcome the action force of the return spring 33, and after the spool valve 23 moves to the corresponding stroke, the steel ball 29 is positioned in the positioning groove 46 of the positioning sleeve 45 under the action of the positioning spring 41. The positioning force can overcome the force value of the return spring 33. At this time, the handle is released, the spool valve 23 is in the positioning state, the hydraulic system continuously supplies oil to the lifting oil cylinder, and the lifting oil cylinder is in the continuous working state;

[0031] (3) Overpressure reset: when in the lifting position, the oil inlet P is connected with the working oil port A in the valve body 22, and the A cavity pressure (i.e. the load pressure) oil passes through the load pressure feedback oil way 44 in the spool valve 23 to introduce the load pressure signal to the front cavity of the push rod 43. After the push rod 43 is forced, it acts on the rear plunger 39. When the hydraulic pressure value of the front cavity of the push rod 43 is greater than the setting force value of the pressure adjusting spring 40 in the rear cavity of the plunger 39 and the force value of the positioning spring 41, the plunger 39 moves backward and transmits the force to the follow-up column 38. The follow-up column 38 moves backward, the steel ball 29 is in a free state without the support of the follow-up column 38, and the spool valve 23 starts to move backward under the action of the return spring 33. The steel ball 29 automatically enters the connecting sleeve 28 along the radial hole. The spool valve 23 is free from the restraint of the steel ball 29, automatically returns to the middle position under the action of the return spring 33, and is unloaded. The energy consumption can be reduced, and the safety of the equipment can be protected;

[0032] After lifting to the position, the spool valve 23 returns to the middle position (as shown in Figure 3 , the steel ball 29 is positioned in the positioning groove 47 of the positioning sleeve 45), and the mechanical lock 57 is closed. The oil in the lifting oil cylinder can be prevented from flowing back, so that the static settlement of the lifting mechanism is prevented;

[0033] 2, Lowering position

[0034] As shown in Figure 7As shown, when the control handle is moved outward from the neutral or lifting position, the slide valve 23 overcomes the force of the return spring 33, causing the slide valve 23 to move within the inner hole of the reversing valve body 22. The steel ball 29 is located in the slide groove 50 or the positioning groove 48. The conical surface 24 of the slide valve 23 pushes the push rod 21 to open the small valve core 18 in the opposite direction. At the same time, the working oil port A and the return oil port T are connected, performing reverse unlocking: the oil from the actuator cylinder first reaches the rear end of the inner hole of the valve sleeve 9, and then passes through the rear radial hole 14. The oil flows through the axial through-hole 16, the rear cavity n of the limiting seat 10, the annular cavity of the oil outlet 8 outside the valve sleeve 9, and the front radial hole 13 to reach the front cavity d of the large cone valve 11. Then, it enters the inner hole of the large cone valve 11 through the radial damping hole 20. At this time, the oil flows from the inner hole of the large cone valve 11 into the front cavity d of the large cone valve 11, and then enters the return port T through the working oil port A. Due to the flow of the oil, a pressure difference is generated when it flows through the radial damping hole 20 on the large cone valve 11. The pressure in the rear cavity of the large cone valve 11... The hydraulic oil connects to the low-pressure return chamber through the open gap of the small valve core 18, thus also becoming a low-pressure chamber, achieving pilot unlocking. Since the rear chamber of the large cone valve 11 is a low-pressure chamber, there is an area difference between the sealing surface of the large cone valve 11 and the valve sleeve 9 and the large-diameter surface of the rear chamber of the large cone valve 11. Because the rear chamber of the large cone valve 11 is already at low pressure, the thrust generated by this area difference causes the large cone valve 11 to open backward, achieving differential pressure unlocking. The front chamber of the large cone valve 11 communicates with the front radial hole 13; that is, achieving... The pilot valve core 18 is opened by the pilot differential pressure, which opens the pilot differential pressure unlock of the large cone valve 11. This allows the slide valve 23 to be easily pushed to achieve reverse unlocking, improving operating comfort and micro-motion controllability. The inner hole 58 of the inner screw plug 17 can be used to drain oil from the rear chamber of the large cone valve 11 when unlocking and to enter oil when locking. In the descending position, manual operation must be maintained. After releasing the operating handle, the slide valve 23 returns to the neutral position under the action of the return spring 33, meeting the needs of specific operating modes and improving safety.

[0035] 3. Floating position

[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, when the control handle moves the slide valve 23 outward, overcoming the force of the return spring 33, after the slide valve 23 moves the corresponding stroke, the steel ball 29 is positioned in the positioning groove 49 under the action of the positioning spring 41. This positioning force can overcome the force of the return spring 33. At this time, the control handle is released, and the slide valve 23 is in the positioning state. The two working ports A and B of the floating position are connected and the pressure is equal. At this time, the lifting mechanism is always in the follow-up state, which can realize the floating adjustment tillage depth control mode. The floating position needs to be returned to the middle position by the control handle being returned to the lower position and then returning to the middle position under the action of the return spring 33.

[0037] The four-position six-way directional valve 2 is a Q-type four-position valve, without changing the original operating mode, without external hydraulic lock, solving the problem of static settlement and large operating force of the lifting mechanism of the tractor, improving the comfort and controllability of the operation; At the same time, the end cover 27 integrates a four-position positioning overpressure recoil reset valve 26, without external oil source, through the load feedback oil pressure to push the spool 23 to reset automatically, to protect the equipment safety when overpressure, energy saving, simplify the system pipeline, at the same time, reduce the labor intensity of the operator; By adjusting the compression amount of the pressure adjusting screw 35 to adjust the compression amount of the pressure adjusting spring 40, the reset pressure can be adjusted, and after adjustment, it can be locked by the locking nut 37 to prevent pressure change;

[0038] When the working system suddenly breaks down due to failure, i.e. no power oil is provided for the hydraulic system, and the three three-position six-way directional valves 3, 4 and 5 drive the actuator to stay in the working position in the air, as shown in the figure, at this time, adjust the adjusting valve rod 54, rely on the oil passage hole 61 to make the working oil port B and the return oil port T communicate, and then operate the spool 59 to make the other working oil port A and the return oil port T also communicate, so that the two cavities of the actuator oil cylinder are in unloading state, and the actuator can be lowered under the action of its own gravity and external force, and the tool can also be lowered by operating the directional valve when there is no power, improving safety and facilitating maintenance; Figure 9

[0039] When each directional valve 2 to 5 is in the middle position, the bridge oil port P2 of the bridge valve body 6 can provide oil source for other valve groups of the main machine hydraulic system.​
