DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same technical meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a hydraulic control system for the pitching mechanism of a stacker, wherein the hydraulic control system includes a circuit composed of a main power element unit, a control element unit and an execution element unit connected via an oil circuit, and the hydraulic control system also includes an emergency power element unit, which is arranged in parallel with the main power element unit.

[0018] The main power element includes a swash plate variable piston pump 3, the control element unit includes a two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 5, a three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6, a one-way throttle valve 7, a hydraulically controlled two-way lock 8, and a relief valve 9, and the actuator includes a symmetrically arranged double oil cylinder 10, the piston rod of the double oil cylinder 10 can be extended and retracted.

[0019] The swash plate variable piston pump 3 draws oil from the oil tank 15 through a pipeline to provide power for the stacker's pitch mechanism movement; the oil of the swash plate variable piston pump 3 passes through the two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 5, the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6, the one-way throttle valve 7, the hydraulically controlled two-way lock 8, and the relief valve 9 to the rodless chamber of the oil cylinder 10, and the rod chamber of the oil cylinder 10 passes through the relief valve 9, the hydraulically controlled two-way lock 8, the one-way throttle valve 7, and the three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 back to the oil tank.

[0020] The two-position, two-way solenoid directional valve 5 controls the switching of the power oil circuit between the main power element unit and the emergency power element unit; the three-position, four-way solenoid directional valve 5 controls the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the dual oil cylinder 10, and the one-way throttle valve 7 adjusts the speed of extension and retraction of the piston rod of the dual oil cylinder 10; when the internal cavity pressure value of the dual oil cylinder 10 is too high, the relief valve 9 starts to overflow, controlling the internal cavity pressure value of the dual oil cylinder; A one-way valve 4 is provided on the oil path between the swash plate variable displacement plunger pump 3 and the two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 5 .

[0021] The emergency power element includes a hydraulic motor 11, a permanent magnet generator 12, a supercapacitor 13 and a gear directional pump 2 connected in sequence. The hydraulic motor is driven by the return oil pressure. The output of the hydraulic motor is connected to the permanent magnet generator 12, which drives the permanent magnet motor 12 to charge the supercapacitor 13. The supercapacitor 13 supplies power to the gear directional pump 2. The gear directional pump 2 draws oil from the oil tank 15 through a pipeline. The oil of the gear directional pump 2 is connected to the two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 5.

[0022] An oil inlet filter 1 is respectively provided on the pipelines between the swash plate variable displacement piston pump 3 and the gear directional pump 2 and the oil tank 15 , and an oil return filter 14 is provided on the pipeline between the three-position four-way solenoid reversing valve 6 and the oil tank 15 .

[0023] A one-way valve 4 and an accumulator 16 are further provided on the oil circuit between the gear directional pump 2 and the two-position two-way electromagnetic reversing valve 5 .

[0024] The hydraulic control system also includes a monitoring and protection unit, which includes a pressure transmitter 17 arranged on the cylinder 10 for monitoring the pressure value of the inner cavity of the cylinder 10, a displacement sensor 18 built into the piston rod of the cylinder 10, a temperature sensor 19 for monitoring the temperature of the oil in the oil tank 15, and a three-axis acceleration sensor 20 arranged on the oil tank 15 for monitoring the vibration value of the system.

[0025] In one embodiment, the swash plate variable piston pump 3 sucks oil through the oil inlet filter 1 to provide hydraulic power for the oil circuit. The one-way valve 4 prevents the hydraulic oil in the oil circuit from flowing back. The three-position four-way electromagnetic reversing valve 6 controls the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 10. The one-way throttle valve 7 controls the extension and retraction speed of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 10. The hydraulically controlled two-way lock 8 controls the piston rod of the oil cylinder 10 to be fixed in one position. When the pressure value in the inner cavity of the oil cylinder 10 is too high, the overflow valve 9 starts to overflow and controls the pressure value in the inner cavity of the double oil cylinder. The return oil pressure drives the hydraulic motor 11, which drives the permanent magnet motor 12 to charge the supercapacitor 13. The return oil returns to the oil tank through the return oil filter 14, and the oil circuit forms a closed loop.

[0026] In one embodiment, when the swash plate variable displacement piston pump 3 fails and is unable to provide hydraulic power to the oil circuit, the two-position, two-way solenoid reversing valve 5 switches positions, and the gear directional pump 2, powered by the supercapacitor 13, provides hydraulic power to the oil circuit. Simultaneously, the accumulator 16 releases pressure to maintain the pressure level throughout the oil circuit when the hydraulic power is switched.

[0027] In one embodiment, a pressure transmitter 17 monitors the pressure value in the oil cylinder 10; a displacement sensor 18 is built into the piston rod of the oil cylinder 10 to monitor the displacement of the piston rod of the oil cylinder 10 when it is extended and retracted; a temperature sensor 19 monitors the temperature of the oil in the oil tank 15; and a triaxial acceleration sensor 20 monitors the vibration value of the system. When the above monitoring values ​​exceed the normal range, the system is shut down for inspection to reduce maintenance costs. The hydraulic control system for the stacker's pitch mechanism, provided by the present invention, includes a main power element unit, a control element unit, an actuator unit, an auxiliary element unit, an emergency power element unit, and a monitoring and protection unit. The main power element unit includes a swash plate variable displacement piston pump, which provides hydraulic power for extending and retracting the piston rods of the actuator unit's dual oil cylinders. The control element unit's three-position, four-way solenoid directional valve adjusts the extension and retraction speed of the dual oil cylinders' piston rods, a one-way throttle valve adjusts the speed of piston extension and retraction, and a hydraulically controlled two-way lock secures the piston rods of the dual oil cylinders in a fixed position. When the internal pressure of the dual oil cylinders is excessive, the relief valve initiates overflow flow, controlling the internal pressure. The hydraulic motor in the emergency power unit drives a permanent magnet generator to charge a supercapacitor, which provides power for the fixed-displacement gear pump. If the main power element unit fails, the two-position, two-way solenoid directional valve switches the oil supply to the emergency power unit. Rapidly switching to a backup power source in the event of a main pump failure significantly reduces the risk of cantilever belt conveyor loss of control.

[0028] The monitoring and protection unit of this invention features a pressure transmitter that monitors the pressure within the dual oil cylinders; a displacement sensor built into the dual oil cylinder piston rods that monitors the distance they extend and retract; a temperature sensor that monitors the temperature of the oil in the tank; and a triaxial acceleration sensor that monitors the system's vibration. When these monitored values ​​exceed the normal range, the system is shut down for inspection, reducing maintenance costs.

[0029] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the overall concept of the present invention, and these should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
