[0035] The back-up clamp clamping hydraulic cylinder is connected to the first working oil port A and the second working oil port B of the three-position six-way reversing valve I through the first connecting pipe module. The first connecting pipe module includes a first connecting oil pipe, a second connecting oil pipe, a first overflow valve group and a first detection module. The two hydraulic oil ports of the back-up clamp clamping hydraulic cylinder are respectively connected to the first working oil port A and the second working oil port B through the first connecting oil pipe and the second connecting oil pipe. The first overflow valve group includes a plurality of first overflow pipes. The two ends of the first overflow pipe are respectively connected to the first connecting oil pipe and the second connecting oil pipe.

If they are inconsistent, hydraulic oil leakage may occur, and an early warning is carried out for investigation). When the clamping operation is completed After that, the hydraulic oil pressure in the pipeline increases, and the first overflow pipe overflows. At this time, the detection values of flow sensor III and flow sensor IV are inconsistent, that is, the controller obtains the first safety signal; when the safety door is closed, the working hydraulic oil of the three-position six-way reversing valve II enters from the second working oil port B and returns from the first working oil port A (the detection values of flow sensor V, flow sensor VI, flow sensor VII, and flow sensor VIII are consistent). After the safety door is closed, the hydraulic oil pressure in the pipeline increases, and the second overflow pipe overflows. At this time, the detection values of flow sensor VII and flow sensor VIII are inconsistent, that is, the controller obtains the second safety signal. In the second step, after the controller obtains the first safety signal and the second safety signal, the controller controls the second switching outlet of the switching valve to close and the first switching outlet to open, synchronously controls the three-position six-way reversing valve III, starts the main clamp hydraulic motor to rotate forward or reverse, and performs the buckling and unbuckling operations respectively.
[0040] In one of the real-time methods, in the second step, the controller controls the first working oil port A and the second working oil port B of the three-position six-way reversing valve II to be closed, the safety door remains statically closed, and the three-position six-way reversing valve II is controlled to continuously clamp the back-up clamp clamping hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic oil enters from the second working oil port B and returns from the first working oil port A. Most of the hydraulic oil directly passes through the first overflow pipe to ensure dynamic and continuous clamping of the back-up clamp.
