Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic systems for scrap steel briquetting unpacking machines, and more specifically, to a hydraulic flow self-distribution hydraulic system for a hydraulic scrap steel briquetting unpacking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In converter steelmaking, 20-30% scrap steel is usually added directly for smelting to reduce costs. Purchased scrap steel is usually made by pressing loose scrap steel into cubic blocks using a hydraulic system, which ensures safe transportation while reducing transportation costs. During steelmaking, it is essential to prevent sealed containers from entering the converter to avoid safety accidents caused by converter blasting. Therefore, the cubic blocks arriving on site must be randomly inspected and unpacked.

[0003] Currently used scrap steel bale unpacking machines typically employ four hydraulic cylinders to clamp the scrap steel bales, followed by a pulling cylinder to separate them. The hydraulic system corresponding to these machines, such as the hydraulic scrap steel bale unpacking system disclosed in patent number N202021739951.8, includes an oil tank. The oil tank is connected in parallel to a first and second pumping system via oil pipes. Following the first and second pumping systems are a unpacking cylinder control system, a rear clamping cylinder control system, and a front clamping cylinder control system. This hydraulic system can handle the unpacking of high-density scrap steel bales. It utilizes a combination of control valve groups and pressure sensors, along with an electrical system, to rationally calculate and distribute the operating flow of each cylinder, ensuring stable operation of each cylinder.

[0004] However, in the existing hydraulic system of the unpacking machine, during actual use, when the pulling cylinder is activated, the scrap steel block clamped by the clamping cylinder will stretch and become thinner. At this time, most of the system flow is directed to the pulling cylinder, causing the clamping cylinder to be unable to clamp completely and the unpacking cannot be completed in one go.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of hydraulic self-distribution hydraulic system for a hydraulic scrap steel briquetting unpacking machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art. One of its objectives is to provide a hydraulic system for self-distributing flow in a hydraulic scrap steel briquetting unpacking machine, which realizes self-distribution and self-adaptation of flow and pressure during the unpacking process, thereby improving the unpacking efficiency of the scrap steel unpacking machine.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A hydraulic self-distributing hydraulic system for a hydraulic scrap steel briquetting unpacking machine includes a first pump oil circuit and a second pump oil circuit connected in parallel, as well as a first control oil circuit, a second control oil circuit, and a third control oil circuit connected in parallel. One end of the first pump oil circuit and the second pump oil circuit are both connected to an oil tank, and the other end is connected to a common confluence oil circuit. One end of the first control oil circuit is connected to a front clamping cylinder, one end of the second control oil circuit is connected to a rear clamping cylinder, and one end of the third control oil circuit is connected to a pulling cylinder. The other ends of the first, second, and third control oil circuits are all connected to the confluence oil circuit. A hydraulically controlled check valve is provided on the confluence oil circuit between the second and third control oil circuits. The system is electrically connected to an electromagnetic directional valve; the first control oil circuit includes a first electro-hydraulic directional valve, a first dual hydraulically controlled check valve, and a first dual one-way throttle valve, which are sequentially installed on the oil line between the manifold oil circuit and the front clamping cylinder; the second control oil circuit includes a second electro-hydraulic directional valve, a second dual hydraulically controlled check valve, and a second dual one-way throttle valve, which are sequentially installed on the oil line between the manifold oil circuit and the rear clamping cylinder; the third control oil circuit includes a third electro-hydraulic directional valve, the output end of which is connected to the pulling cylinder, and the input end of which is connected to the manifold oil circuit.

[0008] As a further improvement, a first pressure gauge is provided on the oil lines between the front clamping cylinder and the first double one-way throttle valve, the rear clamping cylinder and the second double one-way throttle valve, and the pulling cylinder and the third electro-hydraulic directional valve.

[0009] Furthermore, a first overflow valve is provided in the oil circuit between the front clamping cylinder and the first double one-way throttle valve, the rear clamping cylinder and the second double one-way throttle valve, and the pulling cylinder and the third electro-hydraulic directional valve. The first overflow valve is connected to the oil tank.

[0010] Furthermore, a second pressure gauge is also provided on the aforementioned oil manifold.

[0011] Furthermore, the first pump oil circuit includes a first oil pump and a first check valve, which are sequentially installed on the oil circuit between the oil tank and the manifold oil circuit; the second pump oil circuit includes a second oil pump and a second check valve, which are sequentially installed on the oil circuit between the oil tank and the manifold oil circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, a second overflow valve is provided in the oil line between the first oil pump and the first check valve, and between the second oil pump and the second check valve, and the second overflow valve is connected to the oil tank.

[0013] Furthermore, a third pressure gauge is provided on the oil lines between the first oil pump and the first check valve, and between the second oil pump and the second check valve.

[0014] Furthermore, the first electro-hydraulic directional valve, the second electro-hydraulic directional valve, and the third electro-hydraulic directional valve are all connected to a return oil circuit, which is connected to the oil tank, and a third check valve is provided on the return oil circuit.

[0015] Furthermore, the oil tank is equipped with a dual-barrel return oil filter, a temperature sensor, an air filter, and a level gauge, and the return oil circuit is connected to the dual-barrel return oil filter.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The flow self-distribution hydraulic system of the present invention provides pressure and flow to three control circuits through two pump oil circuits. A hydraulically controlled check valve is installed on the confluence oil circuit between the second and third control oil circuits. When the third electro-hydraulic directional valve corresponding to the pulling cylinder is energized, the flow rate of the third control oil circuit increases and the pressure decreases due to hydraulic characteristics. At this time, the hydraulically controlled check valve automatically closes. The first pump oil circuit provides pressure and flow to the front clamping cylinder and the rear clamping cylinder separately, and the second pump oil circuit provides pressure and flow to the pulling cylinder separately. This realizes the self-distribution and self-adaptation of flow and pressure during the unpacking process. When the scrap steel block is no longer deformed after being pulled, the hydraulically controlled check valve can be opened by controlling the solenoid directional valve to improve the unpacking efficiency of the scrap steel unpacking machine.

[0019] 2. The flow self-distribution hydraulic system of the present invention is equipped with dual hydraulically controlled check valves and dual one-way throttle valves in both the first and second control oil circuits. This not only enables the opening and clamping of the front and rear clamping cylinders, but also allows the locking of the front and rear clamping cylinders through the dual hydraulically controlled check valves, improving clamping safety. At the same time, the operating speed of the front and rear clamping cylinders is controlled by the dual one-way throttle valves, improving clamping stability. Attached Figure Description

A hydraulic check valve 6 is provided on the manifold 2 between the second and third control oil circuits. The hydraulic check valve 6 is electrically connected to a solenoid directional valve 7.

[0024] The self-distributing hydraulic system of this invention provides pressure and flow to three control circuits through two pump oil circuits. A hydraulically controlled check valve 6 is installed on the confluence oil circuit 2 between the second and third control oil circuits. When the third electro-hydraulic directional valve 14 corresponding to the pulling cylinder 3 is energized, the flow rate of the third control oil circuit increases and the pressure decreases due to hydraulic characteristics. At this time, the hydraulically controlled check valve 6 automatically closes. The first pump oil circuit provides pressure and flow to the front clamping cylinder 3 and the rear clamping cylinder 4 separately, and the second pump oil circuit provides pressure and flow to the pulling cylinder 5 separately. This realizes self-distribution and self-adaptation of flow and pressure during the unpacking process.
