Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydraulic system applications, and in particular to a double-redundant overflow valve in a hydraulic system. Background Art

[0002] Safety relief valves are essential components in hydraulic systems, providing safety protection. When the hydraulic system pressure exceeds a specified threshold, the relief valve opens, discharging some of the hydraulic fluid into the hydraulic tank, thereby reducing the system pressure and preventing accidents caused by excessive pressure. However, if a relief valve malfunctions during hydraulic system operation, it can no longer guarantee the safety of the hydraulic system. Existing relief valves generally exhibit two fault states. Fault state 1: When the relief valve's main spool wears continuously, it can become sluggish or even become stuck in the closed position, preventing it from opening properly. This prevents the hydraulic system from properly unloading, leading to excessive system pressure and potentially serious consequences such as hydraulic line ruptures, hydraulic equipment, or actuator damage. Fault state 2: When the relief valve's main spool repeatedly operates, breaking or bending the return spring, preventing the valve from closing, the hydraulic system cannot maintain or limit pressure. Pressure cannot be fully applied to the terminal actuator, or cannot be applied at all. This disrupts the hydraulic system's normal operation and, in severe cases, can cause irreversible accidents.

[0003] When a hydraulic system is operating, if the relief valve has the above two faults, it will cause the hydraulic system to malfunction, the actuator to fail to bear the load, and even cause a major safety accident. Therefore, how to improve the safety margin of the relief valve and ensure the normal operation of the hydraulic system is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a double-redundant overflow valve in a hydraulic system, which can be used to solve the technical problem that after a overflow valve fails, it can only be replaced immediately, which affects the work progress.

[0005] The present application provides a double-redundant overflow valve in a hydraulic system, the overflow valve comprising:

[0006] It includes a housing, a first overflow mechanism, a second overflow mechanism, a piston, a piston spring, a piston end cover, a second end cover, a first liquid inlet, a second liquid inlet, a piston cavity, and a liquid outlet;

[0007] The shell is in a cubic shape, with a first liquid inlet and a second liquid inlet provided on the bottom surface. Both liquid inlets are oriented longitudinally, and the pressure at both locations is the same.

[0008] A lateral piston cavity is arranged above the first liquid inlet and the second liquid inlet, the piston cavity is provided with a variable diameter at a step cavity, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of the A side of the piston cavity is smaller than that of the B side; wherein, one side of the first liquid inlet is regarded as the A side; one side of the second liquid inlet is regarded as the B side;

[0009] The A side of the piston cavity is connected to the B side of the piston cavity above the first liquid inlet; the B side of the piston cavity is connected to the B side of the piston cavity above the second liquid inlet, and the B side of the piston cavity is provided with an internal thread connection area;

[0010] A longitudinal first overflow passage is arranged above the A side of the piston cavity, and the first overflow passage is connected to the A side of the lateral piston cavity below; a longitudinal second overflow passage is arranged above the B side of the piston cavity, and the second overflow passage is connected to the B side of the lateral piston cavity below, and the first overflow passage and the second overflow passage are provided with an internal thread connection area above;

[0011] A longitudinal liquid outlet is arranged above the shell, the liquid outlet is arranged between the first overflow passage and the second overflow passage, the liquid outlet is connected to the first overflow passage and the second overflow passage through a through-type lateral passage, and the lateral passage is provided with an internal thread connection area on both sides; the lateral passage is located above the piston cavity; the second end cover is provided with an external thread connection area, and the two second end covers are installed on the left and right sides of the lateral passage through threaded connection.

[0012] Further, the first overflow mechanism includes a first steel ball, a first spring, a first overflow passage, and a first end cover; wherein, the first steel ball and the first spring are installed in the first overflow passage, the first spring is located above the first steel ball, and the first end cover is located above the first spring; the first end cover is provided with an external thread and is connected to the internal thread above the first overflow passage; the central axis of the first steel ball, the first spring, and the first overflow passage coincides with the central axis; when the first spring is in a compressed state, the first steel ball blocks the first overflow passage under the action of the spring force.

[0013] Further, the second overflow mechanism includes a second steel ball, a second spring, a second overflow passage, and a first end cover; the second steel ball and the second spring are installed in the second overflow passage, the second spring is located above the second steel ball, and the first end cover is located above the second spring; the first end cover is provided with an external thread and is connected to the internal thread above the second overflow passage; the central axis of the second steel ball, the second spring, and the second overflow passage coincides with the central axis; when the second spring is in a compressed state, the second steel ball blocks the second overflow passage under the action of the spring force.

[0014] Further, the piston is a stepped piston, horizontally placed, with a variable diameter, the same shape as the inner shape of the horizontal cavity, the force receiving areas of the two ends of the piston are S1 and S2 respectively, the force receiving area S1 of the A side is smaller than the force receiving area S2 of the B side; the piston is installed in the horizontal piston cavity, the piston end cover is provided with external threads, connected with the internal threads of the piston cavity and arranged on the B side of the piston passage; the piston can move linearly along its axis in the cavity under the action of hydraulic pressure and spring force, used for switching between the first overflow mechanism and the second overflow mechanism.

[0015] Further, the overflow pressures of the two overflow mechanisms can be adjusted for pressure adjustment; the opening pressures of the two overflow mechanisms are the same.

[0016] Both the first overflow mechanism and the second overflow mechanism have independent overpressure overflow functions, and when the pressure is not over, the first steel ball and the second steel ball will block the first overflow passage and the second overflow passage under the action of the spring force.

[0017] Further, when the overflow valve is working normally, the liquid pressures p0 received by the two ends of the piston are the same.

[0018] At this time, the spring compression amount x1 satisfies the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0, so the forces received by the two ends of the piston are the same at this time, the first overflow mechanism is put into work, and the second overflow mechanism does not work; wherein the spring elastic coefficient of the piston is k, and the compression amount x1 under the normal working condition of the hydraulic system; the force receiving areas of the two ends of the piston are S1 and S2 respectively.

[0019] Further, when the pressure of the hydraulic system exceeds the set opening pressure, the overpressure oil enters from the first liquid inlet, flows along the first overflow passage, opens the first steel ball and the first spring of the first overflow mechanism, and finally flows back to the tank from the liquid outlet along the horizontal passage to realize pressure relief.

[0020] Further, when in the first fault state, the system pressure exceeds the rated working pressure, the first overflow mechanism is blocked and cannot release the overpressure oil, and the system pressure continues to rise, at this time, p0 in the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0 continues to increase.

[0021] When P0 increases to P1, since S1<S2, at this time the equation becomes S1*p1+kx1<S2*p1, the hydraulic pressure received by the B side of the piston is greater than the combined force of the hydraulic pressure received by the A side and the spring force, the piston moves to the A side under the action of the unbalanced force, when P1 increases to P2, under the action of the pressure P2, the piston continues to move to the A side to the position where the second overflow passage is just opened, the overpressure oil enters from the second liquid inlet, flows along the second overflow passage, opens the second steel ball and the second spring of the second overflow mechanism, and finally flows back to the tank from the liquid outlet along the horizontal passage to realize pressure relief, ensuring the safety of the system.

[0022] Further, when in the second failure state, the first spring breaks, at this time the first overflow mechanism is in the open state, the liquid pressure on the side of piston A drops to p3, the pressure on the side of piston B remains unchanged, still p0.

[0023] At this time, the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0 becomes the inequality S1*p3+kx<S2*p0, then the hydraulic pressure on the side of piston B is greater than the combined force of the hydraulic pressure on the side of piston A and the spring force, the piston moves to the side A under the action of the unbalanced force until it moves to the limit position on the side A; at this time, the first overflow passage and the first liquid inlet are blocked by the piston, the first overflow mechanism is cut off, and the second overflow mechanism is put into the system; when the system pressure exceeds the set pressure, the overpressure oil enters from the second liquid inlet, flows along the second overflow passage, pushes open the second steel ball and the second spring of the second overflow mechanism, and finally flows back to the tank from the liquid outlet along the transverse passage to realize pressure relief, ensuring the safety of the system.

[0024] Further, if the piston spring breaks before the first spring, k in the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0 becomes 0, and the equation becomes the inequality S1*p0<S2*p 0, The piston moves to the limit position on the side A under the action of the unbalanced force, and at this time the state changes to the working state in the second failure state.

[0025] When the system is working normally, only the first overflow mechanism participates in the work; when the first spring breaks or the first steel ball is stuck, the first overflow mechanism is automatically cut off from the hydraulic system, and then the second overflow mechanism is put into work to continue to realize the overpressure overflow function, ensuring the safety of the system; the two overflow mechanisms have a time sequence logical relationship and cannot be put into the system at the same time, so the safety margin of the hydraulic system is doubled, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the hydraulic system; in addition, the present application has a simple structure and strong applicability, can be used in hydraulic systems with different functions, and does not need electric control, improving the reliability of the present application itself.

At this time, the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0 becomes the inequality S1*p3+kx<S2*p0, then the liquid pressure on the piston 8B side is greater than the resultant force of the liquid pressure on the A side and the spring force, and the piston moves toward A under the action of the unbalanced force until it moves to the extreme position on the A side; at this time, the first overflow passage (22) and the first liquid inlet (24) are blocked by the piston (8), the first overflow mechanism is cut off, and the second overflow mechanism is put into the system; when the system pressure exceeds the set pressure, the overpressure oil enters from the second liquid inlet (25), flows along the second overflow passage (23), pushes open the second steel ball (6) and the second spring (4) of the second overflow mechanism, and finally flows back to the oil tank from the liquid outlet (21) along the transverse passage (26) to achieve pressure relief, ensuring system safety.

7. The relief valve according to claim 6, characterized in that If the piston spring (7) breaks before the first spring (2), then k in the equation S1*p0+kx1=S2*p0 becomes 0, and the equation becomes the inequality S1*p0<S2*p 0, The piston (8) moves to the A side to the limit position under the action of the unbalanced force, and the state at this time is converted into the working state of the second fault state.
