DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The principles and features of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, this embodiment discloses a tractor hydraulic lifting system with automatic limit function, including a hydraulic oil tank 12, a lifting pump assembly and a multi-way output valve 13. The inlet of the lifting pump assembly is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 12 through a pipeline, the outlet of the lifting pump assembly is connected to the P port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a pipeline, and the R port of the multi-way output valve 13 is connected to the hydraulic oil tank 12 through a pipeline.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lifting pump assembly includes a main pump 4 and a booster pump 2. The hydraulic oil tank 12 is connected to the input end of the booster pump 2 through a first pipeline 17, and the output end of the booster pump 2 is connected to the input end of the main pump 4 through a second pipeline 18. By setting the booster pump 2, sufficient hydraulic oil can be provided for the use of multiple actuators to meet the pressure requirements of multiple actuators for simultaneous use. An initial oil suction filtering mechanism 1 is provided on the first pipeline 17, and a fine oil suction filtering mechanism 3 is provided on the second pipeline 18. The setting of the initial oil suction filtering mechanism 1 can preliminarily filter the hydraulic oil to avoid the influence of impurities on the use of each valve, and the setting of the fine oil suction filtering mechanism 3 can further purify the hydraulic oil and reduce the failure rate during the use of the hydraulic system.

[0033] The multi-way output valve 13 is internally provided with a lowering solenoid valve 6, a pressurizing solenoid valve 7, a floating solenoid valve 8 and a lifting solenoid valve 11. The inlet of the lifting solenoid valve 11 is connected to the P port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a lifting inlet pipeline, the outlet of the lifting solenoid valve 11 is connected to the inlet of a lifting cylinder 10 through a pipeline, the outlet of the lifting cylinder 10 is connected to the inlet of the lowering solenoid valve 6 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the lowering solenoid valve 6 is connected to the R port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a pipeline; the inlet of the pressurizing solenoid valve 7 is connected to the P port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a pipeline, the outlet of the pressurizing solenoid valve 7 is connected to the inlet of a limit rod cylinder 9 through a pipeline, the outlet of the limit rod cylinder 9 is connected to the inlet of the floating solenoid valve 8 through a pipeline, and the outlet of the floating solenoid valve 8 is connected to the P port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a pipeline.

[0034] In this embodiment, a shuttle valve 14 and a pressure compensation valve 15 are further provided in the multi-way output valve 13. The pressure compensation valve 15 is arranged on the lifting inlet pipeline. The oil outlet of the lifting solenoid valve 11 is connected to the pressure feedback channel 22 of the multi-way output valve 13 through the shuttle valve 14. The shuttle valve 14 conveys the selected load pressure to the spring side of the pressure compensation valve 15. Through the settings of the shuttle valve 14 and the pressure compensation valve 15, by setting the pressure compensation valve 15, it is possible to meet the simultaneous operation of multiple loads, thereby achieving the balance of each load, and making the adaptability, comfort, and safety of the tractor and the actuating element higher.

[0035] Preferably, a safety overflow valve 16 is further provided in the multi-way output valve 13. The oil outlet of the lifting solenoid valve 11 is communicated with the oil inlet of the safety overflow valve 16 through a pipeline. The oil outlet of the safety overflow valve 16 is communicated with the R port of the multi-way output valve 13 through a pipeline. The setting of the safety overflow valve 16 can perform overflow unloading when the oil pressure at the oil outlet of the lifting solenoid valve 11 is too high, and can also relieve pressure when the suspension collides during the lifting process, avoiding damage to the hanging arm caused by continuous lifting.

[0036] In this embodiment, a safety valve 5 is provided in the multi-way output valve 13. The oil inlet of the safety valve 5 is communicated with the P port of the multi-way output valve 13, and the oil outlet of the safety valve 5 is communicated with the R port of the multi-way output valve 13. The setting of the safety valve 5 can provide overload protection for the system. When the load exceeds the system setting value, the safety valve 5 opens for unloading to ensure the safe operation of the system.

[0037] A pressure reducing valve 19 is provided in the multi-way output valve 13. The oil inlet of the pressure reducing valve 19 is communicated with the P port of the multi-way output valve 13, and the oil outlet of the pressure reducing valve 19 is communicated with the R port of the multi-way output valve 13. The setting of the pressure reducing valve 19 can achieve the pressure reduction of the system as needed, further ensuring the use safety of the system.

[0038] An LS interface 20 communicated with the pressure feedback channel 22 of the multi-way output valve 13 is provided on the multi-way output valve 13. The LS interface 20 is communicated with the LS control valve 21 of the main pump 4 through a pipeline (the setting of the LS control valve 21 on the main pump 4 is prior art in the art, and the specific structure and principle will not be described). The setting of the LS interface 20 facilitates the communication between the LS control valve 21 of the main pump 4 and the pressure feedback channel 22 of the multi-way output valve 13.

[0039] Working principle: The boost pump 2 sucks oil from the hydraulic oil tank 12 through the suction coarse filter and supplies the clean hydraulic oil to the inlet of the main pump 4 (piston pump) through the suction fine filter. The main pump 4 supplies the pressurized oil to the control valve group. The safety valve 5 provides overload protection for the system. When the load exceeds the system set value, the safety valve 5 opens for unloading to ensure the safe operation of the system. The lowering solenoid valve 6, the pressurizing solenoid valve 7, the floating solenoid valve 8, and the lifting solenoid valve 11 are all solenoid valves controlled by the tractor controller. According to the driver's working requirements, the tractor is operated to make the tractor controller control whether the solenoid valve is energized. When the lifting solenoid valve 11 is energized, the pressurized oil of the main pump 4 is supplied to the large chamber of the lifting cylinder 10 through the lifting solenoid valve 11, and the lifting cylinder 10 extends. When the lifting solenoid valve 11 is de-energized, the lifting cylinder 10 stops extending. When the lowering solenoid valve 6 is energized, the oil in the large chamber of the lifting cylinder 10 returns to the hydraulic oil tank 12 through the lowering solenoid valve 6, and the lifting cylinder 10 retracts. When the pressurizing solenoid valve 7 is energized, the pressurized oil of the main pump 4 is supplied to the large chamber of the limit rod cylinder 9 through the pressurizing solenoid valve 7, and the limit rod cylinder 9 extends. When the pressurizing solenoid valve 7 is de-energized, the limit rod cylinder 9 stops extending. When the floating solenoid valve 8 is energized, the large chamber of the limit rod cylinder 9 returns to the hydraulic oil tank 12 through the floating solenoid valve 8, and the limit rod cylinder 9 enters the floating state. The extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 10 can control the rise and fall of the working device. The extension and floating of the limit rod cylinder 9 can control the span of the limit rod and whether it can swing (automatic attachment of the implement, implement limit).

[0040] This system is combined with an electronic control strategy. To meet the working conditions of all implements, there are two modes, side swing and no side swing, set on the cab control screen. When the tractor is transporting with the implement and the implement is raised to the transport position, to prevent pitching and yaw movements and there should be no lateral clearance. At this time, the pressurizing solenoid valve 7 is energized, and the pressurized oil enters the limit rod cylinder 9, and the limit rod cylinder 9 extends to limit the implement. When the tractor is attaching and working with the implement, the side swing and no side swing modes can be selected according to the attached implement. In the no side swing mode, the floating solenoid valve 8 is energized, and the limit rod cylinder 9 is in the floating state. At this time, the three-point hitch and the mechanical limit three-point hitch work in the same state. When the no side swing mode is selected, the tractor ECU control strategy will automatically control the switching between the side swing and no side swing states of the three-point hitch according to the lifting height of the three-point hitch (the lifting set height calibrated before leaving the factory), which will greatly improve the operation efficiency, driving experience of the tractor and the service life of the three-point hitch. When the tractor is attaching the implement, automatic attachment can be achieved by controlling the limit rod cylinder 9.
