By arranging the second balancing valve group 6, the flow of the hydraulic oil flowing through the first oil outlet pipeline 33 is stabilized.
[0027] As shown in Figure 2 , the control ends of the first overflow valve 51 and the second overflow valve 61 are connected to the oil tank 3 through a balance reversing valve 7. The P end of the balance reversing valve 7 is connected to the oil tank. The T end of the balance reversing valve 7 is connected to the oil tank. The A end of the balance reversing valve 7 is connected to the control end 53 of the first overflow valve 51. The B end of the balance reversing valve 7 is connected to the control end 63 of the second overflow valve 61. The flow of the first overflow valve 51 is greater than the flow of the second overflow valve 61. By arranging two overflow valves with different flows, different balancing valves can be switched according to actual needs, thereby controlling the flow of the hydraulic oil of the first oil outlet pipeline 33.
[0028] As shown in Figure 2 , a second switch valve 13 is arranged between the first oil outlet pipeline 33 and the oil inlet end of the pilot overflow valve 1. The two ends of the second switch valve 13 are respectively connected to the first oil outlet pipeline 33 and the pilot overflow valve 1.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the brake valve group includes a brake reversing valve 81 and a brake valve 82, the brake valve 82 is arranged on the motor 2, the P end of the brake reversing valve 81 is connected to the oil tank 3, the T end of the brake reversing valve 81 is connected to the oil tank 3, the A end of the brake reversing valve 81 is connected to the control end of the brake valve 82, and the control end 83 of the brake reversing valve 81 is connected to the first oil outlet pipeline 33 and the first oil return pipeline 34.

[0031] The working principle of the present application: by arranging the pilot overflow valve 1, when the winch needs to collect the cable, the oil tank delivers hydraulic oil to one end of the motor through the first oil outlet pipeline 33 to drive the motor to rotate, thereby realizing the collection of the cable. During the process of collecting the cable, if the motor rotates too fast, the oil pressure of the hydraulic oil delivered by the oil tank rises, and since the first oil outlet pipeline 33 is connected to the pilot oil way 11 of the pilot overflow valve 1, a control oil pressure is formed on the pilot oil way 11 of the pilot overflow valve 1 by the inflow of hydraulic oil. At this time, the control oil pressure is greater than the oil pressure of the hydraulic oil in the first oil outlet pipeline 33, and the pilot overflow valve 1 cannot be opened. When the first on-off valve 12 reverses, part of the hydraulic oil in the pilot oil way 11 of the pilot overflow valve 1 flows back to the oil tank through the first on-off valve 12, thereby reducing the control oil pressure. When the oil pressure of the hydraulic oil in the first oil outlet pipeline 33 is greater than the control oil pressure of the pilot oil way 11 of the pilot overflow valve 1, the pilot overflow valve 1 can be opened, so that the hydraulic oil in the first oil outlet pipeline 33 can flow to the first oil return pipeline 34 through the pilot overflow valve 1, and then the hydraulic oil flows back to the oil tank through the first oil return pipeline 34, thereby preventing the oil pressure of the hydraulic oil in the first oil outlet pipeline 33 from being too high, so that the motor rotates stably, and the cable maintains a constant tension state, preventing the cable from being pulled tight and broken.
