[0035] In this example, by connecting the multi-way pipe fitting in parallel to the high-pressure pipeline, multi-mode dynamic switching of high-pressure, high-frequency, and electric energy conversion is realized. Among them, the multi-way pipe fitting adopts a stainless steel four-way structure, and the inlet end is connected to the high-pressure pipeline through a flange, and the outlet ends are respectively connected to the high-pressure module, the high-frequency module, and the power generation module.

The set pressure of the relief valve 54 is 120% of the rated pressure of the hydraulic motor 51. Among them, the hydraulic motor 51 can be an axial piston motor, such as the Bosch Rexroth A2FM series, with a rated pressure of 35 MPa.

[0052] Step S2. Pressure change rate calculation: The microcontroller of the main control module calculates according to the formula d P / d t =(P t -Pt-1 ) Calculate the pressure change rate through ΔP / Δt and perform Kalman filtering on the signal to remove noise;

[0053] Step S3. Threshold comparison and module switching decision:

[0054] If P ≥ 15 MPa and d P / d t < 5 MPa / s, then open the first solenoid valve 33 of the high-pressure module and close the second solenoid valve 43 of the high-frequency module;

[0056] If P 储 ≥ 20 MPa, then open the third solenoid valve 55 of the power generation module and close the first solenoid valve 33 of the high-pressure module;

[0057] If P > 15 MPa and d P / d t ≥ 10 MPa / s, then open the first solenoid valve 33 and the second solenoid valve 43 simultaneously;

[0058] Step S4. Feedback optimization and fault handling:

[0059] The main control module records the historical operating condition data and optimizes the pressure threshold through a machine learning algorithm; when a module leakage is detected, the faulty module is forced to close and an alarm signal is triggered.

[0064] If T high < 50 °C, turn off the cooling fan 72 to save energy.

[0065] Embodiment 2

[0066] Based on Embodiment 1, during the pressure-holding stage of the stamping head of the stamping machine, the working process of this embodiment:

[0067] 1. The main control module detects that P = 18 MPa, and the microcontroller calculates d P / d t = 3 MPa / s, and it is determined to be a high-pressure slow-change working condition.

[0068] 2. Open the first solenoid valve 33 of the high-pressure module, and close the second solenoid valve 43 and the third solenoid valve 55 of the high-frequency module and the power generation module.

[0069] 3. The bladder accumulator 31 absorbs energy through the first throttle valve 32, and the pressure change rate is stabilized at 3 MPa / s.

[0070] 4. The temperature sensor 73 detects that the temperature of the accumulator rises to 58 °C, starts the cooling fan 72 (rotation speed 1500 rpm), and the temperature drops below 50 °C.

[0071] In this embodiment, during the pressure-holding stage of the stamping head, the system pressure is high but changes slowly, meeting the adaptation conditions of the high-pressure module. The bladder accumulator 31 absorbs energy at a constant rate through the adjustment of the first throttle valve 32, avoiding hydraulic shock caused by sudden pressure drop. The temperature sensor 73 and the cooling fan 72 form a closed-loop temperature control system, maintaining the temperature of the accumulator below 55 °C through the PID algorithm to ensure the service life of the seal and the bladder accumulator 31.

[0072] Embodiment Three

[0073] Based on Embodiment One, when the stamping head of the stamping machine quickly descends and contacts the workpiece instantaneously, the working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0074] 1. The main control module detects that P = 12 MPa, dP / dt = 15 MPa / s, and it is determined to be a medium-low pressure high-frequency working condition.

[0075] 2. Open the second solenoid valve 43 of the high-frequency module, and the second throttle valve 42 adjusts the opening degree to absorb the instantaneous impact.

[0076] 3. The diaphragm accumulator 41 responds within 50 ms, and the pressure fluctuation drops to 4 MPa / s.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the stamping head quickly contacts the workpiece, although the system pressure is not high, the pressure change rate is extremely large. The diaphragm accumulator 41 of the high-frequency module, with a fast response ability of ≤50 ms, cooperates with the dynamic adjustment of the piezoelectric ceramic second throttle valve 42 to suppress the pressure fluctuation from 15 MPa / s to 4 MPa / s. The main control module eliminates sensor noise through Kalman filtering to ensure the accuracy of the switching instruction.

[0078] Embodiment Four

[0079] Based on Embodiment One, in the working condition of superposition of high pressure and impact during continuous operation of the stamping machine, the working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0080] 1. When the main control module detects that P = 17 MPa and dP / dt = 12 MPa / s, it is determined as a mixed working condition.

[0081] 2. At the same time, the first solenoid valve 33 of the high-pressure module and the second solenoid valve 43 of the high-frequency module are opened. The bladder accumulator 31 absorbs the steady high pressure, and the diaphragm accumulator 41 suppresses the high-frequency pulsation.

[0082] 3. The main control module adjusts the opening degrees of the first throttle valve 32 and the second throttle valve 42 through the PID algorithm.

[0083] In this embodiment, during continuous stamping operations, both high pressure and high-frequency pulsation exist in the system. The main control module uses a parallel control strategy to enable the bladder accumulator 31 of the high-pressure module to absorb the steady pressure, and the diaphragm accumulator 41 of the high-frequency module to suppress the instantaneous fluctuations. The PID algorithm adjusts the opening degrees of the first throttle valve 32 and the second throttle valve 42 of the two modules to achieve hierarchical energy recovery.

[0084] Embodiment Five

[0085] Based on Embodiment One, this is the working process of this embodiment when the accumulator pressure exceeds the limit during continuous operation of the stamping machine.

[0086] 1. When the main control module detects that P_storage = 22 MPa, it closes the first solenoid valve 33 of the high-pressure module and opens the third solenoid valve 55 of the power generation module.

[0087] 2. The hydraulic motor 51 drives the generator 52, and the remaining energy in the high-pressure pipeline is converted into electrical energy and stored in the energy storage battery 53.

[0088] 3. The overflow valve 54 opens when the pressure > 42 MPa to protect the hydraulic motor 51.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the accumulator pressure exceeds the limit, the main control module forcibly switches to the power generation module. The hydraulic motor 51 (axial piston type, rated pressure 35 MPa) drives the generator 52 to convert the remaining hydraulic energy into electrical energy for storage. The overflow valve 54 is set at 42 MPa (120% of the rated pressure of the hydraulic motor 51) to prevent overpressure damage. The third solenoid valve 55 of the power generation module adopts a pilot-operated structure, and the opening time ≤ 15 ms to ensure rapid energy release. When the power generation module is operating, the high-pressure module automatically closes to avoid waste of energy circulation.

[0090] Through multi-condition adaptation and module coordination, the present invention achieves an overall cycle energy recovery efficiency > 85% in the application of the stamping machine, while significantly improving the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.
