[0041] A tractor chassis shift valve group of the present invention comprises:
[0042] Proportional pressure reducing valve 1, electromagnetic clutch valve 2, logic valve 3, overload valve 4 and logic valve pressure regulating valve 5; the logic valve 3 is arranged in the main oil circuit of the hydraulic system to control the system pressure; the logic valve pressure regulating valve 5 is connected to the logic valve 3 to adjust the working pressure of the logic valve 3; the proportional pressure reducing valve 1 is arranged in the main oil circuit to control the opening and closing state of the shift clutch; the electromagnetic clutch valve 2 is arranged in the main oil circuit to control the clutch of the shift system; the overload valve 4 is connected to the lubrication and heat dissipation oil circuit to provide pressure protection for the lubrication and heat dissipation system.
[0043] Furthermore, the logic valve of the present invention is arranged in the main oil circuit of the hydraulic system, and has a pressure oil supply port P, an oil return port T and multiple working oil ports. The pressure oil supply port P is connected to the external hydraulic pump oil supply pipeline, and the oil return port T is connected to the oil tank return pipeline. The logic valve is used to control the system working pressure of the entire valve group and replace the function of the traditional overflow valve; the first end of the logic valve pressure regulating valve is connected to the pressure control end of the logic valve, and the second end is connected to the control pressure oil circuit to adjust the working pressure setting value of the logic valve; five proportional pressure reducing valves are arranged in parallel, and each proportional pressure reducing valve has a pressure reducing valve. The oil inlet ends are connected to the working oil ports of the logic valves, and the oil outlet ends are connected to different shift clutch actuators respectively. The return oil ends of each proportional pressure reducing valve are connected to the return oil pipeline T; the electromagnetic clutch valve is arranged in series in the main pressure oil circuit between the logic valve and each proportional pressure reducing valve, and has an electromagnetic control part and a valve body part, which is used to perform overall clutch control of the entire shift system; the overload valve is arranged in the oil circuit of the lubrication and cooling system, and its oil inlet end is connected to the oil supply pipeline of the lubrication and cooling system, and the oil outlet end is connected to the oil return pipeline of the lubrication and cooling system, which is used to provide pressure protection for the lubrication and cooling system.
[0044] Among them, the proportional pressure reducing valve 1 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of proportional pressure reducing valves 1 are arranged in parallel on the main oil circuit and correspond one-to-one with the plurality of shift clutches, and are used to respectively control the opening and closing states of the plurality of shift clutches, and the oil inlet ends of the plurality of proportional pressure reducing valves 1 are connected to the main pressure oil circuit; wherein, each proportional pressure reducing valve 1 includes a proportional pressure reducing valve body, a proportional pressure reducing valve spool, a proportional pressure reducing valve spring and a proportional electromagnet, and the proportional electromagnet controls the valve spool position through an electric control signal, thereby adjusting the output pressure.
[0045] Furthermore, the multiple proportional pressure reducing valves of the present invention adopt a parallel arrangement structure, and each proportional pressure reducing valve establishes a one-to-one control relationship with the corresponding shift clutch through an independent oil circuit, ensuring completely independent control of each gear without mutual interference.
[0046] Specifically, the core operating principle of the proportional pressure reducing valve is based on precise current control of the proportional solenoid. When the controller applies current signals of varying amplitudes to the proportional solenoid, the solenoid generates a corresponding electromagnetic force acting on the proportional pressure reducing valve spool. The spool, balanced by the electromagnetic force and the proportional pressure reducing valve spring force, moves to a specific position, thereby precisely regulating the oil circuit opening and flow rate. The connection between the oil inlet and the main pressure oil circuit ensures that each proportional pressure reducing valve receives a stable pressure oil source. Precise control of the spool position enables linear regulation of the output pressure, which is directly proportional to the input current signal. Compared to traditional on-off control, this proportional control method enables gradual adjustment of the clutch engagement pressure, avoiding sudden pressure shocks and making the shifting process smoother. It also allows the clutch engagement force to be adjusted according to different operating conditions, ensuring reliable power transmission while avoiding energy waste and component wear caused by excessive engagement, significantly improving the service life and fuel economy of the transmission system.
[0047] Among them, the first end of the logic valve 3 is connected to the main pressure oil supply pipeline, the second end of the logic valve 3 is connected to the oil inlet end of multiple proportional pressure reducing valves 1, and the third end of the logic valve 3 is connected to the return oil pipeline; the logic valve 3 includes a logic valve body, a logic valve main valve core, a logic valve pilot valve core and a logic valve pressure regulating spring, the logic valve main valve core is arranged in the main oil channel of the logic valve body, the logic valve pilot valve core is arranged in the pilot oil channel of the logic valve body, the first end of the logic valve pressure regulating spring acts on the logic valve main valve core, and the second end of the logic valve pressure regulating spring is connected to the output pressure of the logic valve pressure regulating valve, so that stable control of the system pressure is achieved through pilot control.
[0048] Furthermore, the logic valve utilizes a pilot control principle, the core of which is to achieve precise and stable control of system pressure through the coordinated cooperation of the logic valve main spool and the logic valve pilot spool. The main pressure supply line delivers high-pressure oil to the logic valve through its first end. The logic valve main spool plays the primary role in pressure regulation in the main oil passage, while the logic valve pilot spool provides precise pressure sensing and control signal transmission in the pilot oil passage. The logic valve pressure-regulating spring, a key component of the entire control system, directly acts on the logic valve main spool at its first end to provide a preset pressure, while its second end is connected to the output pressure of the logic valve pressure regulating valve, forming a closed-loop pressure control circuit. When the system pressure falls below the set value, the logic valve pressure-regulating spring pushes the main spool to open a larger channel area, increasing the oil supply to the proportional pressure reducing valve. When the system pressure rises above the set value, the pilot spool senses the pressure change and adjusts the main spool position, reducing the oil supply channel area.
[0049] The above-mentioned pilot control method has outstanding technical advantages over traditional relief valves: higher pressure control accuracy, smaller pressure fluctuations, faster response speed, less energy loss during pressure regulation, significantly reduced system heat generation, improved energy efficiency and working stability of the entire hydraulic system, and provided a reliable pressure foundation for precise shifting control.
[0050] Among them, the first end of the logic valve pressure regulating valve 5 is connected to the control end of the logic valve 3, and the second end of the logic valve pressure regulating valve 5 is connected to the control pressure oil circuit; the logic valve pressure regulating valve 5 is an adjustable pressure reducing valve structure, including a logic valve pressure regulating valve body, a logic valve pressure regulating valve regulating valve core, a logic valve pressure regulating valve regulating spring and a manual adjustment mechanism. The manual adjustment mechanism changes the pressure setting value of the logic valve 3 through the pre-compression amount of the logic valve pressure regulating valve regulating spring to adapt to hydraulic systems with different pressure levels.
[0051] Furthermore, the logic valve pressure regulating valve is an adjustable pressure reducing valve structure, which can realize flexible adjustment of the system pressure setting value through a manual adjustment mechanism, thereby realizing the combination of mechanical adjustment and hydraulic control.
[0052] Specifically, the manual adjustment mechanism adjusts the output control pressure by varying the pre-compression of the logic valve's pressure regulating spring. When the operator turns the adjustment mechanism, the compression of the logic valve's pressure regulating spring changes, which in turn alters the spring force acting on the logic valve's pressure regulating spool. The pressure signal provided by the control pressure oil circuit balances the spring force. When the spring pre-compression increases, higher oil pressure is required to overcome the spring force and move the spool, thereby increasing the output control pressure; conversely, a decrease in pre-compression reduces the output control pressure. This output control pressure directly acts on the logic valve's pressure control terminal, affecting the equilibrium state of the logic valve's pressure regulating spring and ultimately changing the operating pressure setpoint of the entire system.
[0053] The present invention is based on a logic valve pressure regulating valve, which improves the overall adaptability and can be adjusted within a wide pressure range of 8-25MPa. The same set of valve group products can be adapted to tractor models with different power levels and different working pressure requirements. This not only reduces the manufacturer's product development costs and inventory pressure, but also provides users with greater flexibility in selection. It is particularly suitable for application scenarios of mass production and multi-model sharing.
[0054] Among them, the electromagnetic clutch valve 2 is arranged in series in the oil circuit between the logic valve 3 and multiple proportional pressure reducing valves 1; the electromagnetic clutch valve 2 is a two-position two-way solenoid valve structure, including an electromagnetic clutch valve body, an electromagnetic clutch valve valve core, an electromagnetic clutch valve return spring and an electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet, and the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet is used to control the on-off state of the oil circuit.
[0055] Furthermore, the electromagnetic clutch valve adopts a two-position two-way structural design, which plays a key role as the master switch in the entire gear shift control system. Its series arrangement in the oil circuit between the logic valve and multiple proportional pressure reducing valves ensures unified control capabilities for all gears.
[0056] The working state of the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet includes:
[0057] In the power-off state, when the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet is in the power-off state, the electromagnetic clutch valve spool is in the closed position under the action of the electromagnetic clutch valve return spring to cut off the oil circuit; in the power-on state, when the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet is in the power-on state, the electromagnetic clutch valve spool overcomes the spring force of the electromagnetic clutch valve return spring and moves to the open position to connect the oil circuit, thereby realizing safe clutch control of the entire shifting system.
[0058] Furthermore, the working principle of the electromagnetic clutch valve is based on the on-off state control of the electromagnet. When the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet is in the power-off state, the electromagnetic clutch valve spool is maintained in the closed position under the push of the electromagnetic clutch valve return spring. At this time, the oil circuit is completely cut off, and all proportional pressure reducing valves cannot obtain the pressure oil source. The clutches of all gears are in a disengaged state, realizing the safe disconnection of the entire transmission system; when the control system applies current to the electromagnetic clutch valve electromagnet to make it power-on, the electromagnet generates sufficient electromagnetic force to overcome the spring force of the electromagnetic clutch valve return spring, and pushes the electromagnetic clutch valve spool to the open position. After the oil circuit is connected, the pressure oil begins to flow to each proportional pressure reducing valve. At this time, the gear shift control system enters normal working state.
[0059] In abnormal situations such as system failure, emergency shutdown or power outage, the electromagnetic clutch valve will automatically disconnect all power transmission to prevent accidental gear engagement from causing equipment damage or personal injury; at the same time, it provides reliable safety protection for system maintenance and overhaul. Maintenance personnel can ensure that the system is in a completely safe state by disconnecting the electromagnetic clutch valve.
[0060] Among them, the first end of the overload valve 4 is connected to the oil inlet pipeline of the lubrication and cooling system, and the second end of the overload valve 4 is connected to the oil return pipeline of the lubrication and cooling system; the overload valve 4 is a relief valve structure, including an overload valve body, an overload valve main valve core, an overload valve pilot valve and an overload valve pressure regulating spring. When the pressure of the lubrication and cooling system exceeds the set value, the overload valve main valve core opens the overflow channel under the action of pressure, and guides excess oil back to the oil tank to protect the lubrication and cooling system from falling below the overpressure threshold.
[0061] Furthermore, the overload valve of the present invention employs a relief valve design for pressure protection in the lubrication and cooling system. The first end of the overload valve is connected to the lubrication and cooling system's oil inlet line, continuously monitoring the system's actual operating pressure. The second end is connected to the lubrication and cooling system's oil return line, providing a channel for oil discharge in the event of overpressure.
[0062] The main valve core of the overload valve is the core component of pressure sensing. When the pressure of the lubrication and heat dissipation system is within the normal operating range, the preset force of the overload valve pressure regulating spring is greater than the oil pressure force, the main valve core of the overload valve remains closed, and the lubricating oil in the system circulates normally. When the system pressure exceeds the safety threshold due to filter blockage, excessive oil viscosity or other faults, the oil pressure on the main valve core of the overload valve exceeds the preset force of the overload valve pressure regulating spring. Under the coordinated control of the overload valve pilot valve, the main valve core of the overload valve is pushed open, forming an overflow channel from the oil inlet line to the oil return line, and directly directing the excess high-pressure oil back to the oil tank, thereby quickly reducing the system pressure. The overload valve of the present invention not only effectively prevents the lubrication and heat dissipation system from serious faults such as seal damage, pipeline rupture or pump overload caused by overpressure, greatly reduces equipment maintenance costs and downtime, but also ensures the stable operation of the lubrication and heat dissipation system under various working conditions, provides reliable lubrication and heat dissipation guarantees for the engine and transmission system, and extends the service life of the entire machine.
[0063] Among them, also include:
[0064] Multiple pressure test interfaces and multiple sensor installation interfaces;
[0065] The multiple pressure test interfaces are respectively arranged on the main pressure oil circuit of the logic valve 3, the oil outlet ends of the multiple proportional pressure reducing valves 1, the oil inlet end of the overload valve 4 and the oil circuit of the lubrication and cooling system. The multiple sensor installation interfaces are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple pressure test interfaces, and are used to install pressure sensors to realize real-time monitoring of the system pressure.
[0066] Furthermore, strategically placed pressure test ports and sensor installation interfaces at key pressure points enable comprehensive monitoring of system status, forming a pressure monitoring network covering the entire valve manifold system. The pressure test ports operate based on a standardized test connection design, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly connect dedicated pressure gauges or test equipment to obtain real-time pressure data at each test point. Comparative analysis of these pressure values allows for rapid identification of system operating status and fault locations.
[0067] The one-to-one correspondence between the sensor installation interface and the pressure test interface enables the system to install permanent pressure sensors for continuous pressure monitoring and data recording. After the pressure sensor is installed, the system can transmit the real-time pressure signal to the controller or monitoring system to realize intelligent functions such as digital display of pressure, historical data recording, abnormal alarm and automatic protection. The setting of the above interface not only greatly simplifies the system debugging process, but also allows engineers to monitor the pressure changes of multiple key points at the same time and quickly optimize the system parameters. It also significantly improves the efficiency of fault diagnosis. Through comparative analysis of pressure data, the faulty components and the cause of the fault can be accurately located. It provides a scientific basis for preventive maintenance. Through long-term pressure data monitoring, the wear trend and replacement time of components can be predicted to avoid economic losses caused by sudden failures.
[0068] The tractor chassis shift valve group of the present invention is suitable for tractor chassis systems of power shift models and CVT continuously variable transmission models.
[0069] The tractor chassis shift valve group provided by the present invention can meet the pressure requirements of different systems. Its scope of application includes power shift (reversing) models, CVT continuously variable transmission models, etc. The valve group of the present invention uses a logic valve instead of a conventional overflow valve to control the working pressure, ensuring that the system pressure and flow changes are more stable and the system heat is reduced. The working pressure of the logic valve can be adjusted to adapt to systems with different pressure levels. For safety reasons, the valve group is equipped with an electromagnetic clutch valve, which can disconnect and reset each gear through electronic control as needed. In view of the increasing system integration, the valve group of the present invention can be connected to lubrication, heat dissipation and other systems without the need for separate lubrication and heat dissipation valves, and is equipped with an overload valve for protecting the lubrication and heat dissipation system, and sufficient pressure testing and sensor installation interfaces are reserved to facilitate the debugging and testing of the entire machine.
