Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of casting clutches, and in particular to a clutch lowering speed control test device and a test method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The clutch is a common component in mechanical transmission, which can separate or engage the transmission system at any time. The basic requirements for it are: smooth engagement, quick and thorough separation. The winch clutch is composed of several parts, including friction plate, pressure plate, spring, clutch housing, etc. When the clutch is engaged, the distance between the clutch housing and the friction plate will increase. At this time, the friction plate will not be pressed on the pressure plate, and the winch can rotate freely. When the clutch is connected, the clutch housing moves toward the pressure plate, compacting the friction plate, so that the power is transmitted to the winch.
[0003] Existing clutch products can be applied to various types of winches. The main application scenarios include but are not limited to crawler crane equipment for various operations such as suspended double-wheel milling, suspended grab, and rammer. The clutch of the above winches not only needs to meet the basic needs of the winch, but also requires free fall functions in two modes: "controllable free fall" and "full release free fall", and random switching of the two modes is required according to working conditions. The lowering of heavy objects in the above two functional modes must be achieved through the clutch products in the winch. That is, the clutch needs to have a speed control function.
[0004] In order to ensure that the factory settings of the products meet the functional requirements of the market, existing clutch manufacturers need to study the test methods of automatic speed control / free lowering of clutch products to improve safety and reliability while ensuring product functions. It is also necessary to ensure that the clutch is at normal oil pressure and working temperature during the lowering process so that the clutch components can operate normally and avoid abnormal oil pressure and oil temperature, which will cause early wear of the components and affect the service life of the clutch. However, during the clutch lowering speed control test stage, existing clutch manufacturers can only study the fixed lowering speed of the clutch. For the autonomous speed control test under the random switching of the two modes according to the working conditions, the existing test equipment has a decrease in the accuracy of the test results and the safety of the test when the lowering speed changes. In addition, the existing test equipment also lacks test basis for the operation of components, which makes the accuracy of the design parameters of the clutch components easy to be too high or too low, which not only leads to a long design cycle of the existing clutch, but also makes the production cost of the clutch components high or the quality of the components low. In addition, for different specifications of winches with different usage requirements, it will further increase the difficulty of clutch design and increase the design cycle. Therefore, a clutch lowering speed control test device is urgently needed to solve the problems of high test difficulty, low test result accuracy, lack of test basis for clutch component operation, long clutch design cycle, high component production cost or low component quality when the existing clutch lowering test equipment is used to conduct a winch clutch lowering speed control test.

[0014] Preferably, the lowering modes of the heavy object include a full-release free-fall lowering mode and a controllable free-fall lowering mode; the heavy object is lowered at a uniform speed or uniform acceleration in the controllable free-fall lowering mode.
[0015] Preferably, when the weight is lowered in full-release free-fall mode, the test steps are as follows: the weight is lifted from the bottom of the test frame to the top of the test frame by the lifting force of the hydraulic motor, then the hydraulic motor stops, the clutch is locked, and the weight is suspended at the top of the test frame; then the controller starts the free-fall control mode: after setting the system pressure, the controller supplies power to the system pressure solenoid valve, the clutch output valve and the clutch control valve respectively; then the controller performs a logical judgment on the clutch oil pressure value, and when the clutch oil pressure value reaches the set pressure, the controller supplies power to the proportional pressure reducing valve to open the clutch drive oil circuit, otherwise the system pressure will be adjusted; the clutch is hydraulically driven to engage and disengage, and the weight falls freely, and the controller collects the drum speed, clutch cooling flow value, clutch cooling temperature value, and torque value during this process; when the controller detects that the drum speed is lower than the target set value, it indicates that the weight has landed under the action of gravity acceleration, at which time the system pressure solenoid valve, the clutch output valve and the clutch control valve lose power, the clutch resets and closes, and the free-fall test is completed; When the weight is lowered in a controlled free fall mode, the test steps are as follows: the weight is lifted from the bottom of the test frame to the top of the test frame by the lifting force of the hydraulic motor, then the hydraulic motor stops, the clutch is locked, and the weight is suspended at the top of the test frame; then the controller starts the controlled free fall lowering mode: after setting the system pressure, the controller supplies power to the system pressure solenoid valve, clutch output valve and clutch control valve respectively; then the controller performs a logical judgment on the clutch oil pressure value, and when the clutch oil pressure value reaches the set pressure, the controller supplies power to the proportional pressure reducing valve to open the clutch drive oil circuit, otherwise the system pressure will be adjusted; the clutch is hydraulically driven to engage and disengage, and the weight begins to fall; at this time, the controller establishes a clutch pressure-reel speed-input torque database , set the target speed of the reel.

At this time, the system pressure solenoid valve, clutch output valve and clutch control valve lose power, the clutch resets and closes, and the controlled free fall test is completed. Beneficial Effects
[0016] The test device of the present invention is provided with a reel assembly, a hydraulic assembly and a control assembly, wherein the reel assembly is installed on the top of the test frame, with a weight as the test input end and a clutch as the output end, and the reel is driven to rotate by lowering the weight, and then the clutch oil pressure is adjusted to achieve the lowering of the weight in two modes of speed: controllable free fall and full release free fall. The lowering of the weight drives the reel to rotate, and a speed sensor is installed on the reel, and a reel speed threshold is set. When the reel speed is higher than the threshold, the clutch pressure regulating port is adjusted by the controller to quickly respond to the pressure drop, and the clutch opening degree becomes smaller, so that when the reel speed is controlled to be ≤ the set threshold, the clutch pressure drop is closed. The test process of the test device of the present invention is low in difficulty and the test results are highly accurate. On the other hand, the present invention realizes the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall of heavy objects through the clutch, collects the dynamic torque value of the clutch in the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall process in a time series through a torque sensor, and collects the dynamic oil pressure value of the clutch in the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall process in a time series through a pressure sensor. The sampling rates of the oil pressure value and the torque value are consistent, and a relationship curve between the clutch oil pressure and the dynamic torque in a time series can be established to complete the closed loop of the clutch automatic speed control lowering test to establish a clutch pressure-drum speed-input torque database. Through the test method of the present invention, for clutches of different specifications, weights of different weights can be configured for testing. Through a large amount of sampling data, the clutch pressure-drum speed-input torque database can be improved, providing a test basis for the product design of the clutch and the reliability design of the whole vehicle system control, thereby improving the safety and economy of the whole vehicle system.
[0017] The present invention establishes a clutch pressure-reel speed-input torque database, realizes the weight on the test stand, and controls the current / voltage of the proportional pressure reducing valve in the hydraulic assembly to realize the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall of the weight under the action of the clutch. In this test process, the reliability of the control assembly is tested, and the dynamic torque value of the clutch under different oil pressures is collected, which provides a test basis for realizing the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall of the product. Compared with the traditional test, the present invention controls the uniform speed / uniform acceleration / free fall of the weight by setting the relationship logic between the target speed threshold of the reel and the actual speed of the reel, and can achieve the target function. In addition, the torque value will change dynamically within a certain range during the process of lowering the weight, and the clutch oil pressure value will have instantaneous impact during the process of lowering, etc., which poses certain safety risks. On this basis, the present invention sets a torque sensor to collect the torque value of the clutch, realizes the relationship logic among the reel speed, clutch oil pressure and clutch torque, reduces the instantaneous impact during the process of lowering the weight, and improves the safety of the test device.
[0018] The present invention can ensure the accuracy and precision of the input by dynamically adjusting the clutch oil pressure value by using the clutch proportional pressure reducing valve current / voltage. Compared with the test device in the prior art, which uses a disc spring / round spring brake clutch, there is a problem of data leakage due to the short disc spring / round spring travel distance and insufficient input oil pressure accuracy. By using a torque sensor to output the dynamic torque value of the clutch, the accuracy of the clutch torque value can be guaranteed.
[0019] The present invention realizes process monitoring of lowering speed control by pre-arranging oil pressure, temperature, flow, speed, and torque sensors in each channel, can feedback product information in the first time, and realize self-adjustment of the system without manual intervention, so as to realize uniform speed / uniform acceleration lowering of heavy objects. The present invention can adapt to different usage requirements of winches of different specifications, that is, sampling from the clutch pressure-drum speed-input torque database, and feeding back the collected data to the database, so as to automatically improve the sample in this way, thereby realizing the self-correction and self-monitoring functions of system control. On the other hand, the clutch pressure-drum speed-input torque database contains clutch operating parameter data, which can provide data support for clutch component design, facilitate improving the accuracy of clutch component design parameters, improve component design quality and reduce component design costs.

The test method of the clutch lowering speed control test device according to claim 9, characterized in that: When the weight adopts the full-release free-fall lowering mode, the test steps are as follows: the weight is lifted from the bottom of the test frame to the top of the test frame by the lifting force of the hydraulic motor, then the hydraulic motor stops, the clutch is locked, and the weight is suspended at the top of the test frame; then the controller starts the free-fall control mode: after setting the system pressure, the controller supplies power to the system pressure solenoid valve, the clutch output valve and the clutch control valve respectively; then the controller performs a logical judgment on the clutch oil pressure value, and when the clutch oil pressure value reaches the set pressure, the controller supplies power to the proportional pressure reducing valve to open the clutch drive oil circuit, otherwise the system pressure will be adjusted; the clutch is hydraulically driven to engage and disengage, and the weight falls freely. During this process, the controller collects the reel speed, clutch cooling flow value, clutch cooling temperature value, and torque value; when the controller detects that the reel speed is lower than the target set value, it indicates that the weight has landed under the action of gravity acceleration, at which time the system pressure solenoid valve, the clutch output valve and the clutch control valve lose power, the clutch is reset and closed, and the free-fall test is completed; When the weight adopts the controllable free fall lowering mode, the test steps are as follows: the weight is lifted from the bottom of the test frame to the top of the test frame by the lifting force of the hydraulic motor, then the hydraulic motor stops, the clutch is locked, and the weight is suspended at the top of the test frame; then the controller starts the controllable free fall lowering mode: after setting the system pressure, the controller supplies power to the system pressure solenoid valve, the clutch output valve and the clutch control valve respectively; then the controller performs a logical judgment on the clutch oil pressure value, and when the clutch oil pressure value reaches the set pressure, the controller supplies power to the proportional pressure reducing valve to open the clutch drive oil circuit, otherwise the system pressure will be adjusted; the clutch is hydraulically driven to engage and disengage, and the weight begins to fall; at this time, the controller establishes the clutch pressure-reel speed-input torque data The target speed of the reel is set in the database. When the reel speed collected by the controller is higher or lower than the set reel target speed, the controller feeds back the data to the proportional pressure reducing valve, and after retrieving the clutch pressure-reel speed-input torque database data, dynamically adjusts the current or voltage value of the proportional pressure reducing valve until the reel speed reaches the set reel target speed, and the speed control is completed; in addition, during the lowering of the heavy object, the controller collects the reel speed, clutch cooling flow value, clutch cooling temperature value and torque value; when the controller detects that the reel speed is lower than the target setting value, it indicates that the heavy object has landed under the action of gravity acceleration. At this time, the system pressure solenoid valve, clutch output valve and clutch control valve lose power, the clutch resets and closes, and the controlled free fall test is completed.
