Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydraulic system technology, specifically relating to a skid steer loader hydraulic system, its control method, and the skid steer loader. Background Technology

[0002] A skid steer loader is a wheeled, specialized chassis-mounted machine that uses the difference in linear speed between its two wheels to achieve steering. It is primarily used in situations with limited space, uneven terrain, and frequently changing tasks. To meet diverse operating conditions, skid steer loaders are equipped with various implements, such as sweepers, milling machines, and snow blowers. Each implement places different demands on the overall machine's control.

[0003] There are generally three types of control methods for skid steer loaders: mechanical control, electronic control, and hydraulic pilot control. Specifically:

[0004] (1) Mechanical operation is divided into hand and foot operation and hand-only operation. Its characteristics are low cost, but large operating force and high labor intensity for drivers during long-term operation;

[0005] (2) The electric control is a dual-handle control, usually divided into two modes: H mode and ISO mode. The electric control is usually based on the controller to easily switch between H mode and ISO mode to cope with different working tools and working conditions. Its characteristics are sensitive operation and high degree of customization, but the system cost is high.

[0006] (3) Hydraulic pilot control is also a dual-handle control, and is usually in ISO mode. Its characteristics are small operating force, sensitive action, and cost between mechanical control and electric control. However, the control mode is single and cannot be switched independently. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a hydraulic system for a skid steer loader, its control method, and a skid steer loader. This system retains the characteristics of sensitive and convenient hydraulic pilot control, while also providing two operating modes, ISO and H, which users can freely switch according to actual needs. This enhances the adaptability of the machine to different working conditions, improves work efficiency, and has cost advantages.

[0008] This invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] In one aspect, a hydraulic system for a skid steer loader is provided, comprising a travel pump, a first travel motor, a second travel motor, a working pump, a multi-way valve, a left hydraulic pilot handle, a right hydraulic pilot handle, a left handle oil circuit switching valve, and a right handle oil circuit switching valve.

[0010] The oil outlet of the working pump is connected to the oil inlet of the multi-way valve, and the oil outlet of the multi-way valve is respectively connected to the first tool cylinder and the second tool cylinder.

[0011] The oil outlet of the travel pump is connected to the oil inlet of the first travel motor and the second travel motor, and the control oil outlet of the travel pump is connected to the oil inlet of the left hydraulic pilot handle and the right hydraulic pilot handle through the first electromagnetic reversing valve.

[0012] The four control oil circuits of the left hydraulic pilot handle (front, back, left, right) are connected to the control oil inlet of the travel pump and the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve through the oil circuit switching valve of the left handle.

[0013] The left and right control oil circuits of the right hydraulic pilot handle are connected to the second tool control oil port of the multi-way valve. The front and rear control oil circuits of the right hydraulic pilot handle are connected to the control oil inlet of the travel pump and the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve through the right handle oil circuit switching valve.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a second electromagnetic reversing valve, through which the control oil outlet of the travel pump is connected to the brake oil ports of the first travel motor and the second travel motor respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a hydraulic oil tank, with the suction ports of the travel pump and the working pump connected to the hydraulic oil tank, and the return ports of the first solenoid directional valve, the second solenoid directional valve, the left hydraulic pilot handle, the right hydraulic pilot handle and the multi-way valve connected to the hydraulic oil tank, and the drain ports of the travel pump, the first travel motor and the second travel motor connected to the hydraulic oil tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the traveling pump is equipped with a filter, which is installed on the oil line connected to the oil inlet of the traveling pump.

[0017] Furthermore, the left handle oil circuit switching valve includes a third solenoid directional valve and four first check valves and four shuttle valves connected to the third solenoid directional valve.

[0018] Furthermore, the right-hand handle oil circuit switching valve includes a fourth solenoid directional valve and four first check valves connected to the fourth solenoid directional valve.

[0019] In a second aspect, a control method for the hydraulic system of a skid steer loader as described in any one of the first aspects is provided, comprising:

[0020] When the left and right hydraulic circuit switching valves are not energized, the left hydraulic pilot handle can be moved forward, backward, left, and right to control the travel pump to drive the first and second travel motors. The right hydraulic pilot handle can be moved forward and backward to control the multi-way valve to drive the first tool cylinder to retract and extend. The right hydraulic pilot handle can be moved left and right to control the multi-way valve to drive the second tool cylinder to retract and extend, thus achieving ISO control mode.

[0021] When the left and right hydraulic circuit switching valves are energized, manipulating the left hydraulic pilot handle's forward and backward two paths can control the travel pump to drive the first travel motor, and manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle's forward and backward two paths can control the travel pump to drive the second travel motor. Manipulating the left and right two paths of the left hydraulic pilot handle can control the multi-way valve to drive the first tool cylinder to retract and extend, and manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle's left and right two paths can control the multi-way valve to drive the second tool cylinder to retract and extend, thus achieving the H control mode.

[0022] Furthermore, the specific method for implementing the ISO control mode includes: when the left and right handle oil circuit switching valves are not energized, the four control oil channels of the left hydraulic pilot handle (front, back, left, and right) are connected to the four control oil inlets of the travel pump through the left handle oil circuit switching valve. By manipulating the left hydraulic pilot handle to move forward, backward, left, and right, the travel pump oil output is controlled, driving the first and second travel motors to achieve the functions of forward, backward, left turn, and right turn of the entire machine. Simultaneously, the two control oil channels of the right hydraulic pilot handle (front and back) are connected to the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve through the right handle oil circuit switching valve. By manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle to move forward, backward, and left, the first tool control oil output of the multi-way valve is controlled, driving the first tool cylinder to retract and extend, achieving the function of the first tool. The two control oil channels of the right hydraulic pilot handle (left and right) are connected to the second tool control oil port of the multi-way valve. By manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle to move left and right, the second tool control oil output of the multi-way valve is controlled, driving the second tool cylinder to retract and extend, achieving the function of the second tool.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific method for implementing the H control mode includes: when the left and right hydraulic control switch valves are energized, the two control oil paths of the left hydraulic pilot handle are connected to the two control oil inlets of the travel pump through the left hydraulic control switch valve, controlling the first travel motor to operate; the two control oil paths of the right hydraulic control pilot handle are connected to the two control oil inlets of the travel pump through the right hydraulic control switch valve, controlling the second travel motor to operate. By combining the actions of the left and right hydraulic control pilot handles, the machine's forward, backward, left turn, and right turn functions are achieved. The left hydraulic pilot handle has two control oil channels, one for left and one for right, connected to the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve via the left handle oil circuit switching valve. By manipulating the left and right movements of the left hydraulic pilot handle, the output of the first tool control oil of the multi-way valve is controlled, driving the first tool cylinder to extend and retract, thus realizing the function of the first tool. The right hydraulic pilot handle has two control oil channels, one for left and one for right, connected to the second tool control oil port of the multi-way valve. By manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle, the output of the second tool control oil of the multi-way valve is controlled, driving the second tool cylinder to retract and extend, thus realizing the function of the second tool.

[0024] Furthermore, the control timing of the left and right handle oil circuit switching valves is consistent, meaning they are either energized or de-energized simultaneously.

[0025] Thirdly, a skid steer loader is provided, comprising the skid steer loader hydraulic system of any one of the first aspects or a control method for executing the skid steer loader hydraulic system of any one of the second aspects.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] (1) In this invention, the working pump supplies oil to the multi-way valve, and the traveling pump supplies control oil to the left and right hydraulic pilot handles through the first electromagnetic reversing valve. When the electromagnet of the first electromagnetic reversing valve is energized, the actions of the left and right hydraulic pilot handles are activated. By controlling whether the left and right handle oil circuit switching valves are energized, the control handles of the multi-way valve can be switched. When the left and right handle oil circuit switching valves are not energized, the function of the multi-way valve driving the first tool cylinder is controlled by the right hydraulic pilot handle. When the left and right handle oil circuit switching valves are energized, the function of the multi-way valve driving the first tool cylinder is controlled by the left hydraulic pilot handle. At the same time, the control of the traveling pump can be switched to control by the left hydraulic pilot handle alone, or by the combined control of the left and right hydraulic pilot handles. That is, the whole machine operation mode can be autonomously switched between ISO mode and H mode.

[0028] (2) Compared with the skid steer loader with conventional ISO mode hydraulic pilot control system, the skid steer loader hydraulic system with switchable control mode proposed in this invention enriches the operation mode of hydraulic skid steer products. Moreover, when dealing with working conditions that require high straightness of the whole machine, such as sweeping, ditching, and plowing, the two-hand control mode of the whole machine in H mode is more conducive to adjusting the working posture and improving the overall working efficiency.

[0029] (3) Compared with the skid steer loader with a conventional H-mode mechanical control system, the skid steer loader hydraulic system with switchable control mode proposed in this invention can greatly reduce the operator's workload. In ISO mode, the single handle control of the first implement and the first implement's operation mode is more conducive to the flexible movement of implements such as combined buckets and garden grabs.

[0030] (4) Compared with skid steer loaders with electronic control operation mode, the skid steer loader hydraulic system with switchable operation mode proposed in this invention realizes the autonomous switching between ISO and H operation modes in a low-cost manner without changing the travel pump and multi-way valve control method, which has significant cost advantages.

[0031] (5) The skid steer loader hydraulic system provided by the present invention has a reasonable structure, does not change the travel pump and multi-way valve control mode, has cost advantages, retains the characteristics of sensitive and convenient hydraulic pilot control, and has two operating modes, ISO and H, which users can switch freely according to actual needs, enhancing the adaptability of the whole machine to working conditions and improving work efficiency.

[0047] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the control oil outlet G1 of the travel pump 1 is connected to the oil inlet P7 of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 and the oil inlet P8 of the right hydraulic pilot handle 8 through the first solenoid directional valve 15; wherein, the first solenoid directional valve 15 is provided with a first electromagnet 15-S.

[0048] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the control oil outlet G1 of the travel pump 1 is connected to the brake oil port Z2 of the first travel motor 2 and the brake oil port Z3 of the second travel motor 3 through the second electromagnetic reversing valve 14; wherein, the second electromagnetic reversing valve 14 is provided with a second electromagnet 14-S.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figures 4-6 As shown, the four control oil circuits (front, rear, left, and right) of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 are connected to the control oil inlet of the travel pump 1 and the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve 6 via the left handle oil circuit switching valve 9. Specifically, the left handle oil circuit switching valve 9 includes a third solenoid directional valve and four first check valves and four shuttle valves connected to the third solenoid directional valve. The third solenoid directional valve is equipped with a third solenoid 9-S, and the four shuttle valves are the first shuttle valve 9-1, the second shuttle valve 9-2, the third shuttle valve 9-3, and the fourth shuttle valve 9-4. The four shuttle valves are respectively connected to the control oil inlets X1, X2, X3, and X4 of the travel pump. Two of the first check valves are connected to the control oil inlets X3 and X4 of the travel pump, and the other two first check valves are connected to the first tool control oil ports a1 and b1 of the multi-way valve 6.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the left and right control oil circuits of the right hydraulic pilot handle 8 are connected to the second tool control oil ports a2 and b2 of the multi-way valve 6. The front and rear control oil circuits of the right hydraulic pilot handle 8 are connected to the control oil inlet of the travel pump 1 and the first tool control oil port of the multi-way valve 6 through the right handle oil circuit switching valve 10. Specifically, the right handle oil circuit switching valve 10 includes a fourth solenoid directional valve and four second check valves connected to the fourth solenoid directional valve. The fourth solenoid directional valve is equipped with a fourth solenoid 10-S. Two of the second check valves are connected to the control oil inlets X1 and X2 of the travel pump 1, and the other two second check valves are connected to the first tool control oil ports a1 and b1 of the multi-way valve 6.

[0051] like Figures 1-4 and Figure 6 As shown, the return ports T14, T15, T7, T8, and T6 of the first solenoid directional valve 15, the second solenoid directional valve 14, the left hydraulic pilot handle 7, the right hydraulic pilot handle 8, and the multi-way valve 6 are connected to the hydraulic oil tank 5.

[0052] The control logic of the skid steer loader hydraulic system provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] When the vehicle is started, the working pump 4 supplies oil to the multi-way valve 6, and the travel pump 1 supplies control oil to the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 and the right hydraulic pilot handle 8 through the first solenoid directional valve 15.

[0054] By controlling the energization of the third electromagnet 9-S and the fourth electromagnet 10-S, the control handle of the multi-way valve 6 can be switched. When the third electromagnet 9-S and the fourth electromagnet 10-S are not energized, the function of the multi-way valve 6 driving the first tool cylinder 13 is controlled by the right hydraulic pilot handle 8.

The front and rear control oil of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 is connected to the two control oil inlets X3 and X4 of the travel pump 1 through the left handle oil circuit switching valve 9, controlling the rotation of the first travel motor 2. At the same time, the right handle oil circuit switching valve 10 operates in the left position under the thrust of the fourth electromagnet 10-S. The front and rear control oil of the right hydraulic pilot handle 8 is connected to the two control oil inlets X1 and X2 of the travel pump 1 through the right handle oil circuit switching valve 10, controlling the rotation of the second travel motor 3. By combining the actions of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 and the right hydraulic pilot handle 8, the functions of forward, backward, left turn and right turn of the whole machine are realized. Additionally, the left and right control oil channels of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7 are connected to the first implement control oil ports a1 and b1 of the multi-way valve 6 via the left handle oil circuit switching valve 9. By manipulating the left and right movements of the left hydraulic pilot handle 7, the output of the first implement control oil of the multi-way valve 6 is controlled, driving the first implement cylinder 13 to extend and retract, thus realizing the function of the first implement, namely, the lifting and lowering of the entire boom.

By manipulating the right hydraulic pilot handle 8, the output of the second implement control oil of the multi-way valve 6 is controlled, driving the second implement cylinder 12 to retract and extend, thus realizing the function of the second implement, namely, the retraction and tilting of the entire bucket. At this time, the left and right hydraulic pilot handles 7 and 8 are in H control mode, such as... Figure 8 As shown in Table 2.
