DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0019] In the related technology, the automatic transmission does not need to shift gears frequently. During the time when the automatic transmission does not need to shift gears, the oil pressure in the main oil circuit gradually increases with the oil supply of the pump, so the pump needs to be turned off and then turned on again after the oil pressure drops to a certain level. As a result, the pump in the main oil circuit needs to be frequently started and closed, affecting the service life of the pump in the main oil circuit.

[0020] In view of this, if Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention provide an oil supply device, including a high-pressure oil pump 1, a low-pressure oil pump 2 and a switching valve 3; the two ends of the high-pressure oil pump 1 are respectively connected to the oil pool 6 and the high-pressure oil circuit 4, the two ends of the low-pressure oil pump 2 are respectively connected to the oil pool 6 and the lubricating oil circuit 5, the switching valve 3 is respectively connected to the high-pressure oil pump 1, the high-pressure oil circuit 4 and the lubricating oil circuit 5, and the switching valve 3 can control the high-pressure oil pump 1 to be connected to the high-pressure oil circuit 4 or the lubricating oil circuit 5.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 can be respectively arranged on the gearbox of the automobile. The high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 can use oil pumps with different parameters. An oil pool 6 is arranged at the bottom of the gearbox. The oil pool 6 contains lubricating oil. The high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 respectively extract lubricating oil from the oil pool 6, and then the high-pressure oil pump 1 pumps the lubricating oil to the switching valve 3, and the low-pressure oil pump 2 pumps the lubricating oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5. The switching valve 3 is provided with three interfaces. The high-pressure oil pump 1, the high-pressure oil circuit 4 and the lubricating oil circuit 5 are respectively connected to the three interfaces on the switching valve 3. The switching valve 3 can connect the high-pressure oil pump 1 with the high-pressure oil circuit 4, or the high-pressure oil pump 1 with the lubricating oil circuit 5, so that when the high-pressure oil pump 1 needs to supply oil to the high-pressure oil circuit 4, The high-pressure oil pump 1 is connected to the high-pressure oil circuit 4 through the switching valve 3. The high-pressure oil pump 1 cannot be connected to the lubricating oil circuit 5, while the low-pressure oil pump 2 is always connected to the lubricating oil circuit 5 and supplies oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5. After the oil pressure of the high-pressure oil pump 1 reaches a certain value, the switching valve 3 is switched, and the high-pressure oil pump 1 is connected to the lubricating oil circuit 5 through the switching valve 3, so that the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 pump oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5 at the same time, avoiding the frequent opening and closing of the high-pressure oil pump 1 and resulting in a reduction in the service life. At the same time, when the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 supply oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5 at the same time, the rotation speed of the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2, improving the efficiency of the hydraulic system, and extending the service life of the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2.

Alternatively, one drive motor can be provided, and the drive motor can be respectively connected to the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 through a drive shaft, so that the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 can be driven to rotate synchronously by a single drive motor, thereby reducing the number of motors and saving costs. The controller can be connected to the drive motor electrical signal, and the controller can adopt a PLC control module. The controller can control the speed of the drive motor so that when the high-pressure oil pump 1 supplies oil to the high-pressure oil circuit 4, the controller controls the drive motor to adopt a higher speed to meet the needs of the low-pressure oil pump 2 supplying oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5 alone, and the high-pressure oil pump 1 supplies oil to the high-pressure oil circuit 4. When both the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 are connected to the lubricating oil circuit 5, the drive motor can be controlled by the controller to adopt a lower speed so that the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the low-pressure oil pump 2 meet the flow rate and flow requirements of the lubricating oil circuit 5.

The controller controls the switching of the switching valve 3 according to the flow of the lubricating oil circuit 5 and the oil pressure of the high-pressure oil circuit 4 transmitted by the flow detector and the oil pressure detector, so as to realize the switching of the high-pressure oil pump 1 to be connected with the high-pressure oil circuit 4 or the lubricating oil circuit 5.

The two ends of the valve plate 402 are respectively connected to the clutch 403 and the switching valve 3. The valve plate 402 can make the lubricating oil flowing from the accumulator 401 or the switching valve 3 to the clutch 403 flow in one direction, thereby avoiding the oil pressure at the clutch 403 from being lost through the switching valve 3 or the accumulator 401.

The valve body 301 can also connect the interface of the high-pressure oil pump 1 and the lubricating oil circuit 5 after moving, so that the high-pressure oil pump 1 can supply oil to the lubricating oil circuit 5.
