Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 The present invention discloses a two-actuator hydraulic system with an interlocking function, comprising:
[0033] Oil supply system, used to provide hydraulic pressure;
[0034] Clutch: There are two clutches, one of which is connected to the oil supply system through a first clutch control valve 2, and the other clutch is connected to the oil supply system through a second clutch control valve 3.

[0036] When in use, the oil supply system is started to provide hydraulic pressure to drive the clutch to operate. The first clutch control valve 2 and the second clutch control valve 3 respectively control the opening and closing of the corresponding clutch and the oil supply system oil circuit. When the first clutch control valve 2 or the second clutch control valve 3 is opened, the hydraulic oil drives the clutch to engage. When the first clutch control valve 2 or the second clutch control valve 3 is closed, the clutch is separated due to lack of oil pressure. In actual working conditions, since only one of the two clutches is in the engaged state, by setting the interlock valve 4, when a fault occurs, the first clutch control valve 2 and the second clutch control valve 3 are both in the open state, and when the hydraulic oil enters the second clutch control valve 3 to open it, part of the hydraulic oil is diverted to the interlock valve 4, driving the interlock valve 4 to cut off the passage between the oil supply system and the first clutch control valve 2, so that the first clutch control valve 2 is naturally closed in the state of lack of oil pressure, and the oil supply to the clutch connected to the first clutch control valve 2 is stopped, thereby ensuring that only one clutch is in the engaged state to avoid mechanical interference.
[0037] As an optional implementation, the first clutch control valve 2 is connected to the first pilot solenoid valve 6 through the first branch, and the first pilot solenoid valve 6 is connected to the oil supply system;
[0038] The interlocking valve 4 is arranged in the middle of the first branch, and the interlocking valve 4 is used to control the on-off of the first branch.
[0039] As an optional implementation, the second clutch control valve 3 is connected to a second pilot solenoid valve 7 through a second branch, and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 is connected to the oil supply system;
[0040] The interlocking valve 4 is arranged in parallel in the middle of the second branch through the third branch;
[0041] The second pilot solenoid valve 7 is used to control the opening and closing of the interlock valve 4 and the second clutch control valve 3 .
[0042] As an optional implementation, the oil supply system includes an oil supply unit, a main pressure valve 1, an oil pressure regulating drive unit, a main oil circuit and a control oil circuit;
[0043] The oil supply part is used to provide hydraulic oil and is connected with the main oil circuit;
[0044] The main pressure valve 1 is connected to the main oil circuit and is used to adjust the oil pressure in the main oil circuit;
[0045] The main oil circuit is connected in parallel with the first clutch control valve 2, the second clutch control valve 3 and the oil pressure regulating drive unit;
[0046] The oil pressure regulating driving unit is used to drive the main pressure valve 1 to adjust the oil supply pressure in the main oil circuit;
[0047] The control oil circuit is connected to the main oil circuit through the oil pressure regulating drive unit;
[0048] The control oil circuit is connected in parallel with the interlock valve 4 , the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 .
[0049] As an optional embodiment, the oil pressure regulating driving unit includes a pressure reducing valve 5, one end of the pressure reducing valve 5 is connected to the main oil circuit, and the other end of the pressure reducing valve 5 is arranged in parallel on the control oil circuit;
[0050] The control oil circuit is connected to the interlock valve 4 through the fourth parallel branch;
[0051] One end of the third pilot solenoid valve 8 is connected in parallel to the control oil circuit, and the other end of the third pilot solenoid valve 8 is communicated with the main pressure valve 1 .
[0052] As an optional implementation, the oil supply unit includes a hydraulic oil tank and a hydraulic oil pump, and the oil outlet of the hydraulic oil pump is connected to the main oil circuit.
[0053] The device is composed of a first pilot solenoid valve 6, a second pilot solenoid valve 7, a third pilot solenoid valve 8, a main pressure valve 1, a first clutch control valve 2, a second clutch control valve 3, an interlock valve 4 and a pressure reducing valve 5, and includes a main oil circuit and a control oil circuit.
[0054] The main pressure valve 1, the pressure reducing valve 5 and the third pilot solenoid valve 8 constitute the main oil circuit oil pressure control circuit, and the third pilot solenoid valve 8 realizes stepless regulation of the main oil circuit pressure. The first clutch control valve 2, the second clutch control valve 3, the interlocking valve 4, the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 constitute the clutch control circuit to realize the control of the pressure of the two clutches.
[0055] The overflow circuit of the main pressure valve 1 constitutes a cooling and lubrication circuit, and the overflow flow goes directly to cooling and lubrication after passing through the radiator.
[0056] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0057] When the device is in operation, oil is supplied to the main oil circuit through the oil pump, and the oil outlet pressure of the main oil circuit is adjusted through the main pressure valve 1. The hydraulic oil in the main oil circuit is divided, and a part of it enters the control oil circuit through the pressure reducing valve 5. The hydraulic oil in the control oil circuit is divided and enters the third pilot solenoid valve 8. The opening size of the third pilot solenoid valve 8 is adjusted to act on the oil pressure in the main pressure valve 1. The oil pressure is used to cooperate with the spring in the main pressure valve 1 to push the piston to move. At the other end of the piston, a balanced oil pressure is generated by the main oil circuit diversion to maintain the piston position. When the piston moves, the size of the upper oil drain port of the main pressure valve 1 is adjusted, and then the oil pressure in the main oil circuit is regulated by diverting the oil pressure in the main oil circuit.
[0058] The oil pressure in the main oil circuit acts on the corresponding clutches through the first clutch control valve 2 and the second clutch control valve 3 respectively. The principle is as follows: the hydraulic oil entering the control oil circuit through the pressure reducing valve 5 is divided into the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7. One of the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 is in an open state and the other is in a closed state. When the first pilot solenoid valve 6 or the second pilot solenoid valve 7 is opened, the oil pressure acts on the corresponding first clutch control valve 2 or the second clutch control valve 3 to open it, so that the corresponding clutch is connected to the main oil circuit to realize clutch engagement. Under normal working conditions, only one of the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 is in an open state. One is in the open state and the other is in the closed state. When a problem occurs, that is, the first pilot solenoid valve 6 and the second pilot solenoid valve 7 are both in the open state, at this time, the hydraulic oil in the control oil circuit is diverted to the interlock valve 4, pushing the piston of the interlock valve 4 to move, blocking the oil circuit between the first clutch control valve 2 and the first pilot solenoid valve 6. The first clutch control valve 2 pushes its piston to return under the action of the spring due to lack of oil pressure, automatically closing the first clutch control valve 2 to avoid the two clutches being in the engaged state at the same time. The end of the interlock valve 4 away from the second pilot solenoid valve 7 is connected to the control oil circuit through the fourth oil circuit, which is used to push the piston in the interlock valve 4 to overcome the spring action and open it after the system is restored. Each valve body returns the hydraulic oil to the oil tank through the return oil pipeline.
