AI Technical Summary
The hydraulic systems of current mid-range loaders have complex oil circuits due to their dual-pump design, which takes up a lot of space and is not conducive to miniaturization design.
The hydraulic control valve system, which combines a variable displacement piston pump and a fixed displacement pump, integrates the control valve assembly, relief valve assembly, and working valve assembly onto a single valve body. This achieves dual-pump confluence in a constant-variable system, reducing installation space and lowering costs.
This simplifies and miniaturizes the hydraulic system, reducing installation space requirements and costs, while ensuring stable operation of the system at different power levels.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application disclose a hydraulic control valve system and a loader for simplifying the hydraulic system of the loader and reducing the use volume of the hydraulic system.
[0028] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 In a first aspect, the present application provides a hydraulic control valve system, comprising: a variable piston pump body 9, a constant pump body 10 and a valve device;
[0030] The variable piston pump body 9 and the constant pump body 10 are respectively communicated with the valve device, and the valve device is communicated with an oil tank 11;
[0031] The valve device comprises a control valve assembly, an overflow valve assembly, a working valve assembly and a connecting pipeline assembly;
[0032] The connecting pipeline assembly has a first inlet and a second inlet, wherein the first inlet is communicated with the variable plunger pump body 9, and the second inlet is communicated with the fixed displacement pump body 10; the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly are communicated through the connecting pipeline assembly, and when the plunger pump body flow meets the demand of the connecting pipeline assembly, the plunger pump body is communicated with the working valve assembly through the connecting pipeline assembly; when the plunger pump body flow cannot meet the demand of the connecting pipeline assembly, the fixed displacement pump body 10 is communicated with the control valve assembly through the connecting pipeline assembly, and is communicated with the working valve assembly through the control valve assembly to supplement the flow demand in the connecting pipeline assembly.
[0033] The application is additionally provided with a valve body device, wherein the valve body device comprises a control valve assembly, an overflow valve assembly, a working valve assembly, and is additionally provided with a connecting pipeline assembly, and the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly are communicated through the connecting pipeline assembly; in addition, the variable plunger pump body 9 and the fixed displacement pump body 10 are also respectively communicated with the valve body device; when the hydraulic system of the application is in standby or small power operation, the flow supplied by the variable plunger pump body 9 to the valve body device can meet the demand of the hydraulic system; when there is high power operation, the demand of the connecting pipeline assembly is greater than the flow supplied by the variable plunger pump body 9 to the valve body device, at this time, the fixed displacement pump body 10 starts to operate, and the fixed displacement pump supplements the remaining flow through the control valve assembly to ensure the stable operation of the whole system; in the above structure, the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly are integrated on one valve body, realizing the combination of the variable displacement system and the fixed displacement system, and the required installation space is small and the cost is lower.
[0034] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The valve body device further comprises an oil return pipeline 14, which is communicated with the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly, and is communicated with the oil tank 11; as shown in the figure, the oil return pipeline 14 is the pipeline with the reference number T, which is mainly used to connect with the oil tank 11 to return the excess oil in the connecting pipeline assembly to the inside of the oil tank 11 in use; in addition, the oil return pipeline 14 in the application is communicated with the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly, that is, the overall structure of the valve body device of the application returns the excess oil to the inside of the oil tank 11 through the oil return pipeline 14 to reduce the cost.
[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2The connecting pipeline assembly includes a first oil path 12, a second oil path 13 and a connecting oil passage, the first inlet is arranged on the first oil path 12, and the second inlet is arranged on the second oil path 13; the first oil path 12 is communicated with the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly; the second oil path 13 is communicated with the control valve assembly; and the connecting oil passage is used for communicating the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly. As shown in the figure, the variable plunger pump body 9 is connected with the PV port, and the fixed displacement pump body 10 is connected with the Pf port, that is, the first inlet is the PV port in the figure, and the second inlet is the Pf port in the figure. When the whole machine is in the standby state, the swing angle of the variable plunger pump body 9 is the smallest at this time, and the fixed displacement pump body 10 hardly provides flow. The fixed displacement pump body 10 is unloaded through the merging valve 1 in the middle position. When the whole machine works, the variable plunger pump body 9 preferentially provides flow through the first oil path 12. When the required flow of the system is greater than the flow provided by the variable plunger pump body 9, the fixed displacement pump body 10 supplements the remaining flow through the merging valve 1 along the second oil path 13 at this time. The above process is the merging system of variable and fixed displacement, and the connecting oil passage in the application has a plurality of connecting oil passages, which are mainly used for connecting the control valve assembly, the overflow valve assembly and the working valve assembly, so that the logic valve, the shuttle valve and the working valve in the application are integrated on a valve body, and the installation space of the whole system of the application is further reduced.
[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The control valve assembly includes the merging valve 1, one end of the merging valve 1 is communicated with the variable plunger pump body 9 through the first oil path 12, the other end of the merging valve 1 is communicated with the fixed displacement pump body 10 through the second oil path 13, and the merging valve 1 is communicated with the overflow valve assembly.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The connecting pipeline assembly further includes an oil drain pipeline, the oil drain pipeline is communicated with the overflow valve assembly and the oil return pipeline 14. In the above structure, the oil drain pipeline in the application is mainly used for returning the excess oil to the oil tank 11. Specifically, when the system pressure abnormally rises, that is, the state is that the oil input into the whole system is too much, resulting in excess, and when the overflow pressure of the safety valve 2 is reached, the safety valve 2 overflows to the oil drain pipeline. At this time, the pressure difference on both sides of the merging valve 1 becomes large, so that the swing angle of the variable plunger pump body is small, and the flow is reduced. The fixed displacement pump body 10 unloads oil to the oil tank 11 through the merging valve 1, so as to achieve the purpose of energy saving.
[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The overflow valve assembly includes a main overflow valve 6, a safety valve 2 and a port overflow valve 4.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The working valve assembly comprises a bucket three-position six-way valve core 7 and a boom four-position six-way valve core 8, the bucket three-position six-way valve core 7 is communicated with the port overflow valve 4, the bucket three-position six-way valve core 7 is communicated with the boom four-position six-way valve core 8 through the connecting oil passage, and the bucket three-position six-way valve core 7 and the boom four-position six-way valve core 8 are communicated with the oil leakage pipeline and the oil return pipeline 14 respectively.
[0042] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The valve body device further comprises a pressure compensator 5 arranged in the connecting oil passage and used for controlling the opening and closing of the bucket three-position six-way valve core 7 and the boom four-position six-way valve core 8.
[0043] It is worth noting that the boom four-position six-way valve core 8 in the application also has a floating position function, so that the bucket can freely float with the ground and its own weight, thereby realizing the automatic leveling function of the bucket on uneven ground.
[0044] Further, please refer to Figure 2The valve body device further comprises a back pressure valve 3 arranged in the connecting oil path and communicated with the oil return pipeline 14. In the above structure, the back pressure valve 3 is arranged in the connecting oil path, and when the whole machine operates and returns oil, the back pressure valve 3 is used to improve the oil supplement efficiency and achieve the energy saving effect.
[0045] Further, in a second aspect, the application also provides a loader, comprising a loader body and the hydraulic control valve system according to any one of the above, the hydraulic control valve system is arranged in the loader body.
