Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a winch hose pressure control system and method, and belongs to the field of engineering machinery testing. Background Art

[0002] When the internal oil pressure of the hydraulic hose increases rapidly, the hose body expands under the action of the internal oil pressure, and the length of the hose will be shortened by 1%-2%. During normal construction of the underground continuous wall hydraulic grab, an upward lifting force will be applied to the winch hose to keep the hose in a taut state. When the underground continuous wall hydraulic grab is constructed in hard strata, the internal oil pressure of the winch hose will increase rapidly, and the hose will expand and contract, resulting in increased tension on the hose and severe friction with the reel. If no special control is performed, the winch hose will be quickly damaged and leak oil under the action of tension and friction. At the same time, mud will enter the hydraulic system from the damaged hose, polluting the hydraulic system and damaging other hydraulic components, thereby causing huge economic losses and environmental pollution.

[0028] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Example 1

[0029] It should be noted that winch hoses are generally suitable for construction machinery such as hydraulic grabs. They are used to transport hydraulic oil between the main pump and the main push cylinder. They are respectively connected to the rodless chamber oil inlet and the rod chamber oil inlet of the main push cylinder. During normal construction, higher pressure is required to achieve rapid extension and retraction of the piston rod.

[0030] This embodiment provides a winch hose pressure control system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a main push cylinder 1, a pressure sensor, a main pump displacement adjustment device, a winch hose, a winch, a reversing valve 8, a main pump 12, an engine 13 and a controller 14.

[0031] Specifically, the engine 13 is connected to the main pump 12 via a coupling. Port S of the main pump 12 is connected to the fuel tank, while port A is connected to port P of the reversing valve 8. The main pump 12 supplies oil to the main thrust cylinder 1 through the reversing valve 8, which controls the extension and retraction of the main thrust cylinder 1. The reversing valve 8 and the main thrust cylinder 1 are connected via a capstan hose wrapped around a winch. A pressure sensor is located at the oil inlet of the main thrust cylinder 1 to detect the real-time oil pressure within the hose and transmit it to the controller.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, the reversing valve 8 is provided with two oil outlets: oil outlet A and oil outlet B. Oil outlet A is connected to the rodless chamber oil inlet of the main push cylinder 1 via a capstan hose 14 wrapped around a capstan 6, while oil outlet B is connected to the rod chamber oil inlet of the main push cylinder 1 via a capstan hose 25 wrapped around a capstan 27. Simultaneously, the rodless chamber oil inlet and the rod chamber oil inlet of the main push cylinder 1 are provided with a pressure sensor 12 and a pressure sensor 23, respectively. The pressure sensor 12 is used to detect the pressure of the rodless chamber of the main push cylinder 1 and the oil pressure inside the capstan hose 14, and to feed back the signal to the controller 14. The pressure sensor 23 is used to detect the pressure of the rod chamber of the main push cylinder 1 and the oil pressure inside the capstan hose 25, and to feed back the signal to the controller 14.

[0033] In some more specific embodiments, the length of the capstan hose 1 4 and the capstan hose 2 5 is generally 60-110 m; both are wound on the capstan in a single-row multi-layer form.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the reversing valve 8 is a load-sensitive reversing valve provided with an LS feedback oil port, and the main pump is a load-sensitive pump provided with a control oil port; the oil inlet of the reversing valve 8 is connected to the oil outlet of the main pump 12; the LS feedback oil port of the load-sensitive reversing valve is connected to the control oil port of the load-sensitive pump to form a feedback oil circuit.

[0035] It should be noted that the pressure difference between the oil outlet and the control oil port of the load sensing pump is negatively correlated with its displacement, that is, the smaller the pressure difference between the oil outlet and the control oil port of the load sensing pump, the greater its displacement.

[0036] The main pump displacement regulating device is used to regulate the main pump displacement according to the control signal of the controller 14 .

[0037] In an embodiment where the reversing valve 8 is a load-sensitive reversing valve and the main pump 12 is a load-sensitive pump, the main pump displacement adjustment device is a proportional relief valve 11 connected between the feedback oil circuit and the return oil circuit. The control oil port of the main pump 12, the LS port of the reversing valve 8, and the P port of the proportional relief valve 11 are connected. The T port of the proportional relief valve 11 directly returns oil. The proportional relief valve 11 is connected to a controller 14.

[0038] In some specific embodiments, the proportional relief valve is an inversely proportional relief valve, and the pressure output by the proportional relief valve is inversely proportional to the input current of the proportional relief valve.

[0039] The controller 14 is used to collect the real-time oil pressure of the pressure sensor, and calculate the main pump displacement that can increase the internal oil pressure of the hose at a preset rate of change based on the real-time oil pressure, and generate a corresponding control signal to send to the main pump displacement adjustment device.

[0040] In an embodiment where the reversing valve is a load-sensitive reversing valve and the main pump is a load-sensitive pump, the controller includes three input terminals and one output terminal. The three input terminals receive oil pressure data from pressure sensor 1 2 and pressure sensor 2 3 respectively, and the one output terminal is used to output a control current to the proportional relief valve 11.

[0041] In actual control operations, the controller continuously collects the pressure values ​​of pressure sensor 1 2 and pressure sensor 2 3, and through logical operations and judgment control, finally outputs a control current from the output end to the proportional relief valve 11 to change the pressure output from the proportional relief valve 11 to the control oil port of the load-sensing pump. The pressure change of the control oil port of the load-sensing pump causes the pressure difference between the oil outlet and the control oil port of the load-sensing pump to change. Due to the characteristics of the load-sensing pump itself, changing the pressure difference between the oil outlet and the control oil port of the load-sensing pump means changing its displacement.

[0042] This design enables the controller 14 to adjust the displacement of the load-sensitive pump in time according to the real-time oil pressure inside the hose, so as to achieve a smooth change in the oil pressure inside the hose, avoiding the expansion and contraction of the hose caused by the rapid increase in the oil pressure inside the hose, resulting in an increase in the tension on the hose and severe friction with the capstan. Example 2

[0043] Based on Example 1, this example provides a winch hose pressure control system equipped with a starting unit.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the reversing valve 8 in this embodiment is further provided with two pilot control ports: port a and port b, for receiving control signals from the pilot oil circuit to achieve reversing of the reversing valve 8 .

[0045] Because in the actual oil supply process, the internal oil pressure of the hose will rise rapidly, causing the hose to expand and contract, only when the main push cylinder 1 switches to extend or retract, that is, when the oil outlet of the reversing valve 8 switches from port A to port B or from port B to port A.

[0046] Therefore, this embodiment sets a starting unit at the pilot control port of the reversing valve 8 to capture the reversing action of the reversing valve 8 and feeds back the reversing action of the reversing valve 8 to the controller 14. After receiving the starting signal from the starting unit, the controller 14 starts to monitor the oil pressure data of the pressure sensor 1 2 and the pressure sensor 2 3, and then controls the displacement of the main pump 12.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the starting unit includes: a shuttle valve 10 and a pressure switch 9 .

[0048] Specifically, the ports on either side of shuttle valve 10 connect to pilot control ports a and b, respectively, to transmit high-pressure signals from the pilot control ports to controller 14 when reversing valve 8 is in operation. The center port of shuttle valve 10 is connected to pressure switch 9, which is in signal communication with controller 14. Pressure switch 9 detects the presence of oil pressure at the center port of shuttle valve 10. When a high-pressure signal is generated at port a or b, indicating that reversing valve 8 is about to reverse, pressure switch 9 activates, outputting the high-pressure signal from pilot control port a or b through the center port to controller 14.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, the pressure switch 9 is a normally closed switch, and the pressure switch 9 is opened when a high-pressure signal is detected. Example 3

[0050] This embodiment provides a method for controlling the pressure of a winch hose. The method adopts the winch hose pressure control system described in Example 1 or Example 2, and the method includes:

[0051] S1: Collect the pressure value of the pressure sensor and calculate the oil pressure change rate inside the hose;

[0052] In response to the rate of change of the oil pressure inside the hose being less than a preset threshold, not performing the adjusting step;

[0053] In response to the rate of change of the oil pressure inside the hose being not less than a preset threshold, performing an adjusting step;

[0054] The adjusting step comprises:

[0055] S2: Sending a control signal for adjusting the displacement of the main pump to the main pump displacement regulating device to reduce the displacement of the main pump;

[0056] S3: Collect the real-time pressure of the pressure sensor and calculate the real-time change rate of the oil pressure inside the hose;

[0057] In response to the real-time rate of change of the oil pressure inside the hose being less than a preset threshold, maintaining the current displacement of the main pump;

[0058] In response to the real-time rate of change of the oil pressure inside the hose being not less than a preset threshold, the process jumps to S2.

[0059] The method provided in this embodiment periodically calculates the oil pressure change rate inside the hose based on the pressure value of the pressure sensor, and compares the oil pressure change rate inside the hose with a preset upper limit threshold. Once the upper limit threshold is reached or exceeded, the adjustment program is awakened.

[0060] The adjustment procedure refers to controlling and adjusting the displacement of the main pump through the main pump displacement adjustment device to make it smaller, so as to achieve the effect of slowing down the increase of the oil pressure inside the hose.

[0061] In an embodiment where the main pump displacement regulating device is a proportional relief valve, the regulating procedure is to send an input current that increases with a preset slope to the proportional relief valve.

[0062] In the embodiment of configuring the pressure switch, before S1, it also includes: S0: collecting status information of the pressure switch; in response to the pressure switch being actuated, jumping to S1; in response to the pressure switch not being actuated, jumping to S0.

[0063] After the pressure switch 9 is turned on, it transmits an on signal back to the controller 14, which then outputs an initial current to the proportional relief valve 11 to prevent the pressure output to the main pump 12 from changing significantly in a short period of time. Subsequently, the controller 14 adjusts the current output to the proportional relief valve 11 based on the pressure values ​​of the pressure sensors 1 and 2, 3, causing the pressure of the main pump 12 to rise slowly, that is, gradually increasing the displacement of the main pump 12. This solves the problem of the capstan hose rapidly contracting due to the drastic changes in the internal hydraulic pressure when the main push cylinder 1 is rapidly extended and retracted under heavy load. This increases the tension on the hose and causes severe friction with the capstan, which can easily damage the hose.

[0064] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
