Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydraulic systems, and in particular to a hydraulic control system for a walking machine and the walking machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, wheel-driven sugarcane harvesters typically use front-wheel steering. This involves operating the hydraulic steering gear to control the left and right steering cylinders to swing the front wheels to different angles for steering. Due to structural and layout limitations such as feeding, undercutting, and conveying channels, a rigid connecting rod cannot maintain consistent steering angles between the two steering wheels of a sugarcane harvester. Excessive steering angle deviation between the two steering wheels significantly impacts the overall steering reliability, stability, and operator comfort. Therefore, controlling the steering accuracy of both steering wheels is crucial. However, manual adjustment is prone to errors, and internal cylinder leakage can also make it difficult to control the steering accuracy of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0038] Figure 1 The following schematically shows a structural diagram of a hydraulic control system for a walking machine according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a hydraulic control system for a walking machine, the hydraulic control system includes a hydraulic oil tank 10, a first hydraulic cylinder 20, a second hydraulic cylinder 30, a one-way valve 40, an electromagnetic reversing valve 50 and a controller. The rodless chambers between the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the second hydraulic cylinder 30 are in communication and are both connected to the one-way valve 40. The one-way valve 40 is connected to the electromagnetic reversing valve 50. The electromagnetic reversing valve 50 is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10 and the controller respectively, and the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 is usually in a disconnected state. The controller is configured as follows:

[0039] In the case of receiving a steering control signal for the walking machine, detecting whether a first difference between the stroke of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the stroke of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 is greater than a first preset threshold;

[0040] When the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold, the solenoid reversing valve 50 is controlled to be connected with the one-way valve 40, so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rodless chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 or the first hydraulic cylinder 20 through the one-way valve, so that the first difference is less than or equal to the first preset threshold.

[0041] It can be understood that the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the second hydraulic cylinder 30 can be single-rod piston cylinders or double-rod piston rods. The electromagnetic reversing valve 50 can also be a proportional valve, or a switch valve, or a servo valve. The connection between the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the second hydraulic cylinder 30 can be that the rodless cavity 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 is connected to the rodless cavity 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30, or that the rod cavity 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 is connected to the rod cavity 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30, or that the rodless cavity 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 is connected to the rod cavity 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30, etc. There is essentially no difference in the connection method between the rod cavity and the rodless cavity between the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the second hydraulic cylinder 30, and both drive the movement of the other hydraulic cylinder by moving one of the hydraulic cylinders.

[0042] If the oil cylinder leaks, the first difference between the stroke of the first hydraulic cylinder and the stroke of the second hydraulic cylinder will be greater than the first preset threshold value, so that after the steering wheel is returned to the center position, the two steering wheels will also be in an "outward-facing" position, and the steering operation cannot be completed effectively. Then, it is necessary to control the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 to open and connect it to the one-way valve 40, so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rodless cavity of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 or the first hydraulic cylinder 20 through the one-way valve, so that the first difference is less than or equal to the first preset threshold value. Since the one-way valve 40 cannot flow in the opposite direction, the rodless cavities of the two cylinders are one-way closed cavities in series, and the elastic modulus of the hydraulic oil is very large and almost incompressible. Therefore, the stroke of one cylinder extending and the stroke of the other cylinder retracting can basically be consistent. In this way, there is no need to manually fill the rodless cavities of the two steering cylinders with oil and adjust the angle of the steering wheel in this way, which can reduce manual errors, improve and control the accuracy of the equipment's travel and steering, and improve the reliability, stability and operating comfort of the steering. The first preset threshold refers to the error value preset by technicians based on technical experience. When the first difference is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, hydraulic oil no longer enters the two rodless chambers from the one-way valve 40, thereby improving operating efficiency.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the solenoid reversing valve 50 includes a first working position DT1. When the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold, controlling the solenoid reversing valve to be connected to the one-way valve includes: when the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold and there is no hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and / or the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder, controlling the first working position DT1 to open so that the solenoid reversing valve 50 is connected to the one-way valve 40, and at the same time allowing the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder to return to the hydraulic oil tank 10 through the solenoid reversing valve 50.

[0044] refer to Figure 1During equipment assembly and commissioning, after adjusting the center position of the left and right steering wheels, turn the steering wheel to the left. The controller receives the steering control signal for the walking machine, and the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder, causing the piston rod of the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract. However, since the rodless chambers of both hydraulic cylinders are empty of hydraulic oil at this time, the second hydraulic cylinder 30 does not move, that is, the second hydraulic cylinder 30 is not actuated. Therefore, the first difference at this time is greater than the first preset threshold, and the controller can control the solenoid reversing valve 50 to switch from the disconnected state to the first working position of the solenoid reversing valve 50, which is open. Through the first working position, the solenoid reversing valve 50 is connected to the one-way valve 40. Then, the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder through the one-way valve 40. At the same time, opening the first working position DT1 also allows the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder to communicate with the hydraulic oil tank 10. Then, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder returns to the hydraulic oil tank 10 through the electromagnetic reversing valve 50. It should be noted that the steering control signal that causes the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 10 to enter the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder is not limited to a left signal, but can also be a right signal.

[0045] As can be understood, due to the presence of the check valve 40, the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder cannot flow back into the hydraulic tank 10 through the oil path connected by the check valve 40 and the solenoid reversing valve 50. Therefore, the rodless chambers of the first and second hydraulic cylinders 20 and 30 form a one-way, closed chamber that prevents hydraulic oil from flowing back. As can be understood, turning the steering wheel to the right causes hydraulic oil from the hydraulic tank 10 to enter the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30. The same principle applies to turning the steering wheel to the left. Furthermore, the continued flow of hydraulic oil into the rodless chambers causes the inactive hydraulic cylinder to begin actuating, while simultaneously accelerating the hydraulic cylinder with the smaller stroke, either the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder or the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder. This ensures that the first difference between the stroke of the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the stroke of the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, thereby completing the steering maneuver. Since the one-way valve 40 cannot flow in the reverse direction, the rodless chambers of the two oil cylinders are one-way closed chambers in series, and the elastic modulus of the hydraulic oil is very large and almost incompressible, so the extension stroke of one oil cylinder and the retraction stroke of the other oil cylinder can basically be kept consistent. In this way, there is no need to manually inject oil into the rodless chambers of the two steering cylinders and adjust the angle of the steering wheel in this way, which can reduce manual errors, improve and control the accuracy of the equipment's travel and steering, and improve the reliability, stability and operating comfort of the steering. The first preset threshold refers to the error value pre-set by the technician based on technical experience. When the first difference is less than or equal to the first preset threshold, hydraulic oil will no longer enter the two rodless chambers from the one-way valve 40, thereby improving operating efficiency.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the hydraulic control system also includes a steering valve 60, which is respectively connected to the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic oil tank 10. When the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold, controlling the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 to be connected to the one-way valve 40 includes: when the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold and there is hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder, controlling the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 to be connected to the one-way valve 40; controlling the hydraulic oil 22 in the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder or the rod chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder to return to the hydraulic oil tank through the steering valve 60.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 includes a second working position DT2. When the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold value and hydraulic oil exists in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder, controlling the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 to be connected with the one-way valve 40 includes: when the first difference is greater than the first preset threshold value and hydraulic oil exists in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder, controlling the second working position DT2 to open so that the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 is connected with the one-way valve 40.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the hydraulic control system also includes a steering valve 60, which is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10. The steering valve 60 includes a first working oil port L and a second working oil port R. The first working oil port L is connected to the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder of the first hydraulic cylinder 20, and the second working oil port R is connected to the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder. The steering control signal includes a left turn control signal and a right turn control signal. The controller is also configured to: when a left turn control signal is received, control the first working oil port L to open so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder; when a right turn control signal is received, control the second working oil port R to open so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 enters the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder.

[0049] It is understood that the steering valve 60 can be a steering gear or a steering control valve. The steering valve 60 is a component used to control the direction of oil flow in a hydraulic system, also known as a directional control valve or directional valve. It is primarily used to control the direction of oil flow, thereby controlling the movement direction of the actuator. The steering valve 60 includes a first working oil port L and a second working oil port R. The first working oil port L is connected to the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder, and the second working oil port R is connected to the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder. It is understood that the first working oil port L can also be connected to the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder, and the second working oil port R can also be connected to the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder. In this case, the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder is connected to the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder. The function of the first working oil port L and the second working oil port R is to open the corresponding working oil port in response to different steering control signals, allowing hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 10 to enter the hydraulic cylinder connected to the open working oil port. The steering valve 60 can be connected to a controller. Upon receiving a left-turn control signal, it controls the opening of the first working oil port L, allowing hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 10 to enter the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder. Upon receiving a right-turn control signal, it controls the opening of the second working oil port R, allowing hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 10 to enter the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder. When the first difference is greater than a first preset threshold and hydraulic oil is present in the rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder, the second working position DT2 of the solenoid reversing valve 50 is controlled to open, connecting the solenoid reversing valve 50 to the check valve 40. However, since the second working position DT2 is open, the rod chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder is disconnected from the hydraulic oil tank 10. Consequently, hydraulic oil in the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder or the rod chamber 22 of the second hydraulic cylinder can be returned to the hydraulic oil tank through the steering valve 60 without returning through the solenoid reversing valve 50. It avoids steering errors caused by leakage of left and right steering cylinders due to wear and aging of cylinder seals, realizes automatic detection and correction of steering stroke, and ensures that steering accuracy meets use requirements.

[0050] refer to Figure 1In one embodiment, the steering valve 60 further includes: a first relief valve 61, installed at the first working oil port L, for limiting the pressure of the hydraulic oil flowing through the first working oil port L; a second relief valve 62, installed at the second working oil port R, for limiting the pressure of the hydraulic oil flowing through the second working oil port R; and a third relief valve 63, installed at the valve core of the steering valve 60, for limiting the pressure of the hydraulic oil within the valve core of the steering valve 60. The first relief valve 61, the second relief valve 62, and the third relief valve 63 are all connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10, returning the hydraulic oil from the relief valves to the hydraulic oil tank 10. This can resolve the problem of excessive hydraulic oil pressure in a certain area of ​​the steering valve 60 and protect the steering valve 60.

[0051] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment, the hydraulic control system further includes: a first displacement sensor A, installed on the first hydraulic cylinder 20, and the first displacement sensor A is used to detect the stroke of the first hydraulic cylinder 20; a second displacement sensor B, installed on the second hydraulic cylinder 30, and the second displacement sensor B is used to detect the stroke of the second hydraulic cylinder 30.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 The first oil circuit: The rodless chamber 22 of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 and the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 are connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10 via a one-way valve 40 and a solenoid reversing valve 50. The second oil circuit: The rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 is also connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10 via the solenoid reversing valve 50. The third oil circuit: The rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30 is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 10 via a steering valve 60. The solenoid reversing valve 50 includes a first working position DT1 and a second working position DT2. When the first working position DT1 is open, the first oil circuit is connected for oil inflow and the second oil circuit is connected for oil return. When the second working position DT2 is open, the first oil circuit is connected for oil inflow, the second oil circuit is disconnected, and oil is returned through the third oil circuit. Specifically, when a steering control signal for the mobile machine is received and the rodless chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder and / or the second hydraulic cylinder are depleted of hydraulic oil, the first difference between the strokes of the first and second hydraulic cylinders is greater than a first preset threshold. Then, the first working position DT1 is controlled to be open so that the electromagnetic reversing valve 50 is connected to the first oil circuit corresponding to the one-way valve 40 for oil replenishment operation. At the same time, the first working position DT1 is opened to connect the second oil circuit so that the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber 31 returns to the hydraulic oil tank 10 through the electromagnetic reversing valve 50.

[0053] Upon receiving a steering control signal for the mobile machine and hydraulic oil being present in the rodless chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder and / or the rodless chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder, if the first difference between the stroke of the first hydraulic cylinder and the stroke of the second hydraulic cylinder is greater than a first preset threshold, the second working position DT2 is controlled to open, thereby connecting the solenoid reversing valve 50 to the one-way valve 40 for oil replenishment. The opening of the second working position DT2 also disconnects the second oil circuit, allowing the third oil circuit to be used for oil return, that is, the hydraulic oil in the rod chamber 31 is returned to the hydraulic oil tank 10 through the steering valve 60. Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder with the smaller stroke, either the rod chamber 21 of the first hydraulic cylinder 20 or the rodless chamber 32 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30, can be driven to accelerate, thereby driving the mobile machine to complete the steering movement. The hydraulic control system also includes: a first displacement sensor A, mounted on the first hydraulic cylinder 20, for detecting the stroke of the first rod chamber 21; and a second displacement sensor B, mounted on the second hydraulic cylinder 30, for detecting the stroke of the rod chamber 31 of the second hydraulic cylinder 30. Therefore, during subsequent steering operations, it is possible to detect in real time whether the first difference is greater than a first preset threshold. This reduces steering errors caused by internal leakage in the left and right steering cylinders due to wear and aging of cylinder seals, enabling automatic detection and correction of steering stroke, thereby improving steering accuracy and meeting operational requirements.

[0054] In this embodiment of the present application, the hydraulic control system further includes a priority valve 70, connected to the reversing valve and hydraulic oil tank 10, respectively, to regulate the flow of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank 10 to the steering valve 60 and the solenoid reversing valve 50. The priority valve 70 is also connected to other circuits, allowing the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank 10 to flow into other circuits.
