DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figures 1-8 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0030] A hydraulic press pressure relief and unloading system includes a pressure relief and unloading system, which includes a power unit 1, an execution unit 2, a control unit 3, a pressure relief and unloading unit 4, and an auxiliary unit 5. The output end of the power unit 1 is fixedly connected to the input end of the execution unit 2, the execution unit 2 and the control unit 3 are bidirectionally connected, the output end of the auxiliary unit 5 is fixedly connected to the input end of the power unit 1, and the output end of the pressure relief and unloading unit 4 is fixedly connected to the input ends of the power unit 1 and the auxiliary unit 5 respectively;

[0031] The control unit 3 includes a pressure sensor array 31, an edge computing module 32, an intelligent prediction module 33 and a PLC main controller 34. The output end of the pressure sensor array 31 is fixedly connected to the input end of the edge computing module 32, the output end of the edge computing module 32 is fixedly connected to the input end of the intelligent prediction module 33, and the output end of the intelligent prediction module 33 is fixedly connected to the input end of the PLC main controller 34.

[0032] Through AI prediction in the intelligent prediction module 33, pressure relief is triggered 10-50ms in advance, reducing invalid pressure holding time and lowering the energy consumption of the main motor by 12%-18%. By dynamically adjusting the pressure relief threshold, the pressure peak fluctuation range is reduced by 40%, and the service life of pipelines and seals is extended by more than 30%.

[0033] In this embodiment, the power unit 1 includes a variable frequency speed regulation main motor 11, a variable pump 12 and a multi-way pressure sensor 13. The output end of the variable frequency speed regulation main motor 11 is fixedly connected to the input end of the variable pump 12, and the output end of the variable pump 12 is fixedly connected to the input end of the multi-way pressure sensor 13.

[0034] The variable frequency speed regulation main motor dynamically adjusts its speed according to load demand, reducing ineffective power consumption at no load or low load by 10% to 15%. The variable pump 12 uses a pressure-flow composite control algorithm to match the execution unit requirements in real time and reduce overflow losses. The multi-channel pressure sensor 13 covers the main oil circuit and branch nodes to ensure comprehensive collection of pressure data and provide high-precision input for AI prediction.

[0035] In this embodiment, the execution unit 2 includes a hydraulic cylinder 21 and a proportional reversing valve 22 , and an output end of the hydraulic cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to an input end of the proportional reversing valve 22 .

[0036] The proportional reversing valve 22 achieves millimeter-level precision error of the movement speed and position of the hydraulic cylinder 21 less than 0.1mm through closed-loop control displacement sensor feedback, and the proportional valve electromagnetic drive response time is less than 10ms, avoiding the lag problem of traditional switching valves and improving production cycle efficiency.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pressure relief and unloading unit 4 includes a multi-stage unloading valve group 41 and an accumulator and energy recovery module 42 . The output end of the multi-stage unloading valve group 41 is fixedly connected to the input end of the accumulator and energy recovery module 42 .

The accumulator and energy recovery module 42 absorb the transient pressure fluctuation. The turbine power generation component 421 converts the remaining energy into electrical energy. The comprehensive energy recovery rate is ≥65%. The energy of the pressure relief process is quickly transferred through the recovery module, avoiding the sudden increase in oil temperature caused by excessive pressure relief in traditional systems.

[0039] In this embodiment, the auxiliary unit 5 includes a high-precision filter 51 and an oil cooling system 52 , and the output end of the high-precision filter 51 is fixedly connected to the input end of the oil cooling system 52 .

The oil temperature cooling system 52 adjusts the speed of the variable frequency fan according to the oil temperature sensor data, with an oil temperature fluctuation range of ±2°C and a viscosity stability improvement of 50%.

[0041] In this embodiment, the multi-stage unloading valve group 41 includes a modular self-cleaning valve core 411, an impurity monitoring sensor 412 and an ultrasonic vibration unit 413. The output end of the modular self-cleaning valve core 411 is fixedly connected to the input end of the impurity monitoring sensor 412, and the output end of the impurity monitoring sensor 412 is fixedly connected to the input end of the ultrasonic vibration unit 413.

[0042] The ultrasonic vibration unit 413 periodically removes impurities from the valve core surface with a cleaning efficiency of >90%, reducing the sticking failure rate by 80%. The impurity monitoring sensor 412 detects the oil particle concentration in real time, triggering cleaning or replacement of the valve core to avoid sudden failures. The modular self-cleaning valve core 411 can be replaced within 5 minutes, reducing downtime by 95% and ensuring production continuity.

[0043] In this embodiment, the accumulator and energy recovery module 42 includes a turbine power generation component 421, a hybrid energy storage component 422 and an energy scheduling controller 423. The output end of the turbine power generation component 421 is fixedly connected to the input end of the hybrid energy storage component 422, and the output end of the hybrid energy storage component 422 is fixedly connected to the input end of the energy scheduling controller 423.

[0044] The efficiency of the turbine power generation component 421 is ≥65%, which is 25% higher than the recovery rate of traditional accumulators. The hybrid energy storage component 422 is composed of a supercapacitor with a transient response of <5ms + a lithium battery for long-term energy storage, which can meet the periodic high-power demand of the hydraulic press. The energy scheduling controller 423 allocates electricity according to the peak and valley of grid electricity prices and the equipment load priority, and the comprehensive energy saving rate is increased to 35%.

[0045] In this embodiment, the intelligent prediction module 33 trains the AI model through historical pressure data, with a prediction error of less than 2%, and supports cloud-based model parameter updates.

[0046] The prediction error is less than 2%, and the pressure relief trigger time error is less than 10ms, avoiding energy waste caused by overpressure or premature pressure relief. The model is continuously optimized through historical data and cloud updates, and the adaptation time to different molds and material working conditions is shortened to within 1 hour.

[0047] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0048] During operation, the variable frequency speed regulation main motor 11 drives the variable pump 12, and the oil enters the hydraulic circuit through the high-precision filter 51 to ensure the cleanliness of the oil. The PLC main controller 34 reads the preset working parameters such as target pressure and stroke, and the AI coprocessor synchronously loads the trained pressure prediction model. The edge computing module 32 completes the sensor calibration, and the proportional reversing valve 22 receives the PLC instruction to control the hydraulic cylinder to advance the workpiece at the set speed. The displacement sensor feeds back the position information in real time. The variable pump 12 dynamically adjusts the output according to the pressure-flow composite control algorithm to balance the load demand and energy consumption. The pressure sensor array 31 is distributed in the main oil circuit and the cylinder inlet and outlet to collect multi-position pressure data in real time and transmit it to the edge The computing module 32 uses machine learning algorithms such as LSTM time series prediction to analyze pressure change trends, predict the pressure peak within the next 10-50ms, and dynamically adjust the pressure relief trigger threshold. When the predicted pressure approaches the dynamic threshold, the PLC sends a command to the pressure relief unloading unit, synchronously opening the multi-stage unloading valve group 41. The accumulator and energy recovery module 42 instantly absorb the impact of the high-pressure oil and suppress pressure fluctuations. The high-pressure oil flows through the parallel-arranged turbine generator assembly 421, driving the generator to convert the fluid kinetic energy into electrical energy. The energy scheduling controller 423 distributes electricity according to load demand. The ultrasonic vibration unit 413 activates 20-40kHz ultrasonic waves every four hours or based on the impurity monitoring sensor feedback that the oil particle size is greater than ISO 18 / 16 to remove impurities attached to the valve core surface. The edge computing module 32 uploads pressure, energy consumption, and fault data to the cloud in real time. The AI model optimizes prediction accuracy through incremental learning. The energy scheduling controller 423 dynamically adjusts the energy storage strategy based on historical load data.
