[0071] When the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is equal to the first temperature value, the second reversing valve 120 is energized and the adjustment strategy is determined based on the instantaneous system pressure being equal to the first preset pressure.

[0072] When the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is greater than the first temperature value and less than or equal to the second temperature value, the second reversing valve 120 is energized and a regulation strategy is determined based on the instantaneous system pressure being greater than the first preset pressure and less than or equal to the second preset pressure.

[0073] If the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is less than the first temperature value, the second reversing valve 120 is de-energized, and the adjustment strategy is determined based on the instantaneous system pressure being equal to the first preset pressure.

[0081] If the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is less than the first temperature value, and the instantaneous system pressure is determined to be less than the first preset pressure, the displacement of the variable pump 90 increases until the instantaneous system pressure equals the first preset pressure.

[0082] If the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is less than the first temperature value, and the instantaneous system pressure is determined to be greater than the first preset pressure, the displacement of the variable pump 90 is reduced until the instantaneous system pressure equals the first preset pressure.

[0083] Specifically, this embodiment provides an implementation method for adjusting the instantaneous system pressure in the oil circuit until the preset system pressure is met. When the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is less than the first temperature value, the displacement of the variable pump 90 is adjusted accordingly based on the different instantaneous system pressures, so that the instantaneous system pressure can quickly meet the preset system pressure.

[0084] In a possible embodiment, if the instantaneous temperature indicated by the temperature parameter is less than the first temperature value, the hydraulic oil is delivered from the variable pump 90 and then flows back to the oil tank 60 through the first directional valve 110, the flow valve 100 and the first motor 70 in sequence.

[0098] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0099] In one application scenario, as shown in Figure 5, the hydraulic circuit calculation of the present invention is as follows:

[0100] 1. Set two values ​​T1 and T2 for the temperature sensor 30 to measure the temperature range. When the measured value T is in the range of T1≤T≤T2, the power requirement of the fan 21 of the heat sink 20 should vary within the range of P2≤P. 风 ≤P3.

[0101] Furthermore, when the hydraulic oil temperature in the oil tank 60 is T1, the minimum power requirement of the fan 21 in the radiator 20 is P2 (kW).

[0102] Furthermore, when the hydraulic oil temperature in the oil tank 60 is T2, the maximum power required by the fan 21 of the radiator 20 is P3 (kW).

[0103] Furthermore, the compressor 11 of the air conditioner 10 requires a constant power P4 (kW), and under normal excavator operating conditions, P3 > P2 > P4.

[0104] 2. The second motor 80 that drives the fan 21 has a rated pressure p2 (MPa), a rated displacement v2 (ml / r), a volumetric efficiency y2, and a coupling mechanical efficiency x2.

[0105] Furthermore, according to the power-speed curve of fan 21, when fan 21 reaches its minimum power P2 at speed n2 (r / min), the actual minimum power of the second motor 80 is: P 21 =P2*x2(kw).

[0106] Furthermore, when fan 21 reaches its maximum power P3 at a speed n3 (r / min), the actual maximum power of the second motor 80 is: P 31 =P3*x2(kw).

[0107] 3. Since the second motor 80 driving the fan 21 of the radiator 20 has a large power, the hydraulic circuit flow rate should be prioritized to meet the minimum power P of the second motor 80. 21 and maximum power P 31 .

[0108] Furthermore, since the loop flow rate of the second motor 80 is a variable value, the minimum required flow rate is Q2 = v2*n2 / (y2*1000) (L / min); in addition, the pressure difference p across the second motor 80 is... 21 =P 21 *60000 / (v2*n2)(Mpa).

[0109] Furthermore, since the loop flow rate of the second motor 80 is a variable value, the maximum loop flow rate required by the second motor 80 is Q3 = v2*n3 / (y2*1000) (L / min). The pressure difference p across the second motor 80 is... 31 =P 31 *60000 / (v2*n2)(Mpa).

[0110] 4. The first motor 70 that drives the compressor 11 has a rated pressure p4 (MPa), a rated displacement v4 (ml / r), a volumetric efficiency y4, a pulley mechanical efficiency x4, and a pulley transmission ratio i.

[0111] Furthermore, according to the compressor power-speed curve, the power P4 is achieved at a speed n4 (r / min). The actual speed n of the first motor 70 is... 41 =n4*i, the actual power of the first motor 70 is: P 41 =P4*x4(kw).

[0112] Furthermore, the circuit flow requirement of the first motor 70 is a fixed value, Q4 = n 41 *i*v4 / 1000(L / min).
