Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of loaders, and particularly relates to a control system for a quick-change oil cylinder of a loader. Background Art

[0002] In order to endow loaders with more functions, their connecting rods need to be replaced with various attachments such as cross, rotary drill, breaker, excavating bucket, and quick-change shovels with different bucket capacities. To improve work efficiency, increase the added value of products, and meet different requirements of customers, various quick-change mechanisms can be used to quickly replace various attachments. Existing quick-change mechanisms include manual mechanical quick-change and hydraulic quick-change.

[0003] Most loaders on the market are configured with a multi-way directional control valve when configuring attachments with hydraulic quick-change. Among them, the first stage valve controls the lifting of the boom, the second stage controls the flipping of the bucket, the third stage controls the telescoping of the attachment oil cylinder, and the hydraulic oil of the quick-change oil cylinder is separately led out from the P1 port on the multi-way directional control valve and connected to the quick-change oil cylinder through a three-position four-way solenoid valve. When the working device does not act, the P1 port of the multi-way directional control valve is communicated with the T port, and the T port is connected to the fuel tank, resulting in a relatively low hydraulic oil pressure input into the quick-change oil cylinder. When the pin connected to the piston rod of the quick-change oil cylinder is poorly lubricated, it is easy to cause the failure of attachment replacement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the defects or deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a control system and method for a quick-change oil cylinder of a loader, which can ensure the hydraulic oil pressure input into the quick-change oil cylinder and avoid affecting the normal replacement of loader attachments due to insufficient hydraulic oil pressure.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control system for a quick-change oil cylinder of a loader, including a multi-way directional control valve, a shuttle valve, and a three-position four-way directional control valve. The A3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is connected to the A port of the shuttle valve, the B3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is connected to the B port of the shuttle valve, and the C port of the shuttle valve is connected to the P port of the three-position four-way solenoid valve.

[0006] Further, the A3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is also communicated with the rod chamber of the attachment oil cylinder, and the B3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is also communicated with the rodless chamber of the attachment oil cylinder.

[0008] Further, it further includes a hydraulic oil tank, and the oil outlet of the hydraulic oil tank is respectively connected to the main pump and the pilot pump group through oil pipes.

[0009] Further, the main pump and pilot pump group includes a main pump and a pilot pump, both of which are connected to the engine.

[0010] Further, the main pump is connected to the main pipeline of the multi-way directional control valve through an oil pipe, and the pilot pump is connected to the pilot valve through an oil pipe.

[0011] Further, the pilot valve is connected to the pilot pipeline of the multi-way directional control valve through an oil pipe.

[0012] Further, the A1 oil outlet and B1 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve are respectively connected to the rod chamber oil port and rodless chamber oil port of the bucket cylinder.

[0013] Further, the A2 oil outlet and B2 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve are respectively connected to the rod chamber and rodless chamber of the boom cylinder.

[0014] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a quick-change cylinder of a loader, which uses a control device for a quick-change cylinder of a loader as described above, and includes the following steps: When replacing the old attachment, Y1 of the three-position four-way solenoid valve is energized, and the hydraulic oil output from the C port of the shuttle valve passes through the A port of the three-position four-way solenoid valve and is connected to the rod chamber of the quick-change cylinder. At this time, the piston rod of the quick-change cylinder retracts, and the pin shaft connected to the piston rod is withdrawn, and the attachment is separated from the loader; When installing a new attachment, Y2 of the three-position four-way solenoid valve is energized, and the hydraulic oil output from the C port of the shuttle valve is connected to the rodless chamber of the quick-change cylinder through the B port of the three-position four-way solenoid valve. At this time, the piston rod of the quick-change cylinder extends, and the pin shaft connected to the piston rod extends, and the attachment is connected to the loader.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By arranging a shuttle valve between the multi-way directional control valve and the three-position four-way solenoid valve, the A3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is respectively connected to the rod chamber of the attachment cylinder and the A port of the shuttle valve, and the B3 oil outlet of the multi-way directional control valve is respectively connected to the rodless chamber of the attachment cylinder and the B port of the shuttle valve.

[0018] Embodiment 1 A typical implementation mode of the present invention is as Figure 1 shown. A quick-change oil cylinder control system for a loader includes a hydraulic oil tank 1. The oil outlet of the hydraulic oil tank 1 is respectively connected to a main pump and a pilot pump group 3 through oil pipes. The main pump and the pilot pump group 3 are connected to an engine 2, and the engine 2 drives the main pump and the pilot pump group 3 to move.
