Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hydraulic components, in particular to a hydraulic thruster. Background Art

[0002] Hydraulic thruster is a hydraulic component that controls the movement of piston rods through hydraulic power. Hydraulic components are widely used in industry, especially in the field of linear motion, because of their heavy-duty, smooth, impact-resistant and reliable performance. With the rapid development of science and technology, automation and digitalization have become a mainstream, and digital cylinders as such hydraulic components are also increasingly used.

[0003] Digital cylinder technology has been proposed in recent years with the development of information technology and the rise of intelligent manufacturing. Its ingenious structural design combines cylinders, valves, feedback and control organically to form a completely digital motion characteristic. Not only does its composition simplify the original hydraulic system engineering into one component, but it also greatly simplifies the design, debugging, use and maintenance. It reduces the impact of the use environment through a set of mechanical internal feedback devices, realizes the precise and stable control of the stroke of the large-load hydraulic cylinder by a small-power motor, and greatly reduces the application threshold and cost of high-performance motion control systems.

[0004] Therefore, the digital cylinder is the technical core of the hydraulic thruster. At present, there are two most widely used digital cylinder technologies: one is to change the driving unit of the traditional electromagnetic control valve from electromagnetic to motor, one end of the valve core is connected to the servo motor, and the other end is directly controlled by connecting to the ball screw of the mechanical feedback device of the digital cylinder through the screw rod. The other is to add a valve sleeve to the control valve of the digital cylinder, so that multiple radially rotatable oil chambers are made between the valve core and the valve sleeve, the valve sleeve is connected to the screw rod in the digital cylinder, and the valve core is connected to the motor.

[0005] The control oil circuit of the first type of hydraulic thruster requires the valve core to rotate and move in a straight line to complete the switching action. Since the device uses two sets of screw connections and there is a certain space matching requirement between the screws, poor matching will cause the digital cylinder to not work properly or the valve to be damaged. Therefore, it is difficult to assemble and has poor control accuracy. The control oil circuit of the second type of hydraulic thruster only requires the valve core to rotate to complete the switching, but because the oil chambers in the oil circuit are arranged radially, its oil chamber separation seal cannot directly use a sealing ring, but needs to customize a special shape of seal or use an oil film seal. There are many restrictions on use, and the maintenance cost is high after long-term use. Summary of the invention

The oil grooves include: a first oil groove 51, a second oil groove 52, a third oil groove 53, and a fourth oil groove 54.

[0040] Specific working principle: When using this device, first connect the valve body 30 of the control valve 3 of this device and the oil pump, that is, connect the oil inlet 31 and the oil outlet 32 ​​to the oil pump, and the hydraulic oil of the oil pump enters from the oil inlet 31 and is withdrawn from the oil outlet 32. Connect the rear connecting oil port 33 and the front connecting oil port 34 to the digital cylinder 9 respectively, and the inlet and outlet oil of the rear connecting oil port 33 and the front connecting oil port 34 will control the piston rod 901 of the digital cylinder 9 to extend or retract, and power on the motor 1. At this time, the oil circuits of the control valve 3 of the present device are as follows: the oil inlet 31 is connected to the third annular groove 431 and the third oil hole 43 in the third annular groove 431; the oil outlet 32 ​​is connected to the first annular groove 411, the fifth annular groove 451 and the first oil hole 41 in the first annular groove 411 and the fifth oil hole 45 in the fifth annular groove 451; the rear connecting oil port 33 is connected to the second annular groove 421 and the second oil hole 42 in the second annular groove 421; the front connecting oil port 34 is connected to the fourth annular groove 441 and the fourth oil hole 44 in the fourth annular groove 441. After the above process is completed, the valve sleeve 4 in the valve body 30 is connected to the screw rod 907 in the digital cylinder 9, and the screw rod 907 is connected to the piston 904 through the screw nut 908, that is, the forward and backward movement of the piston 904 will drive the screw rod 907 to rotate, and at the same time, the forward and backward movement of the piston 904 will drive the piston rod 901 connected thereto to extend or retract, and the output end of the motor 1 controls the rotation of the valve core 5 in the valve sleeve 4.

[0041] When it is necessary to drive the piston rod 901 of the device to advance, the valve core 5 in the control valve 3 is controlled by the motor 1 to rotate until the second oil groove 52 on the valve core 5 is connected to the first oil hole 41 and the second oil hole 42, the third oil groove 53 is connected to the third oil hole 43 and the fourth oil hole 44, the first oil groove 51 is not connected to any oil hole and the fourth oil groove 54 is connected to the fifth oil hole 45; the control oil circuit is switched as follows: the oil inlet 31 takes in oil and the oil is discharged from the front connecting oil port 34 to enter the digital cylinder 9, driving the piston rod 901 to advance; the rear connecting oil port 33 returns oil, that is, the oil in the digital cylinder 9 is squeezed out with the movement of the piston rod 901, and is pumped back to the oil pump from the oil discharge port 32, forming an oil circuit for the control valve 3 to positively control the digital cylinder 9 to advance.

[0042] When it is necessary to drive the piston rod 901 of the device to retract, the valve core 5 in the control valve 3 is controlled by the motor 1 to rotate until the second oil groove 52 on the valve core 5 is connected to the second oil hole 42 and the third oil hole 43, the third oil groove 53 is connected to the fourth oil hole 44 and the fifth oil hole 45, the fourth oil groove 54 is not connected to any oil hole and the first oil groove 51 is connected to the first oil hole 41; the control oil circuit is switched as follows: oil enters the oil inlet 31 and exits from the rear connecting oil port 33 to enter the digital cylinder 9, driving the piston rod 901 to retract; oil returns from the front connecting oil port 34 and is pumped back to the oil pump from the oil discharge port 32, completing the oil circuit of the control valve 3 to reversely control the retraction of the digital cylinder 9.

[0043] When the piston rod 901 of the digital oil cylinder 9 of the device needs to stop, the valve core 5 in the control valve 3 is controlled by the motor 1 to rotate until the first oil groove 51 on the valve core 5 is connected to the first oil hole 41, the second oil groove 52 is connected to the second oil hole 42, the third oil groove 53 is connected to the fourth oil hole 44, the fourth oil groove 54 is connected to the fifth oil hole 45, and the third oil hole 43 on the valve sleeve 4 is blocked by the part between the second oil groove 52 and the third oil groove 53, that is, the third oil hole 43 is not connected to any oil groove; the control oil circuit is switched as follows: the oil inlet 31 is closed because the third oil hole 43 is blocked and cannot take in oil, so the oil outlet 32, the rear connecting oil port 33, and the front connecting oil port 34 are all closed, the oil circuit is cut off, and the digital oil cylinder 9 cannot take in or out oil, completing the oil circuit for the control valve 3 to control the digital oil cylinder 9 to stop moving.

[0044] In summary, the oil groove of the valve core 5 of the control valve adopts an inclined design, so that the movable connection between the valve core 5 and the valve sleeve 4 can be sealed and separated by a sealing ring, reducing the subsequent maintenance cost; by controlling the rotation of the oil groove of the valve core 5 to match the oil hole on the valve sleeve 4, the oil circuit of the device can be freely switched to accurately and flexibly control the digital cylinder 9; the problem that the valve core 5 needs to rotate and move in a straight line to switch the oil circuit is solved, one set of screw rods is eliminated, and the accuracy problem caused by the tolerance of the screw rod itself is reduced, while making the assembly and maintenance work simpler and improving the control accuracy.
