AI Technical Summary
In existing hydraulic pump systems, traditional split-type valve assemblies suffer from delayed switching response, high leakage rate of sealing structures, complex pipeline topology, and large space occupation, which limits system reliability and flight safety.
An oil circuit on/off control device is adopted. Through the precise flow distribution design of the valve core and valve body, combined with the electromagnet driving the valve core to move left and right, the oil inlet and the target outlet are connected or disconnected synchronously. When the dual electromagnets are de-energized, the spring automatically resets, reducing switching time and oil circuit leakage. The integrated design reduces the size of the device.
It achieves zero-window switching from a single oil inlet to multiple oil outlets, reduces actuator vibration caused by hydraulic shock, lowers leakage risk, and meets the requirements of aviation hydraulic systems for instantaneous response and compact layout.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic pump technology, specifically to an oil circuit on / off control device and control method. Background Technology
[0002] As the power component of the aircraft hydraulic system, the hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. In the aircraft hydraulic system, actuators (such as servos and actuators) and pressure regulating mechanisms often need to dynamically switch the high-pressure oil (3000-5000psi) from a single pump source to different outlets. Traditional solutions use separate valve groups to achieve oil circuit distribution, but they have core defects such as delayed switching response leading to oil circuit interruption and pressure fluctuation, high leakage rate of multi-valve sealing structure, complex pipeline topology occupying too much space, and reliance on secondary valve action for emergency switching, which seriously restrict the reliability of the system and flight safety.
[0003] To overcome the above problems, there is an urgent need for a highly integrated multi-outlet switching device that can achieve zero-window switching from a single inlet to multiple outlets, minimize sealing paths, and simplify topology design, so as to meet the stringent requirements of aviation hydraulic systems for instantaneous response, compact layout, and redundancy tolerance. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention proposes an oil circuit on / off control device and control method, the specific solution of which is as follows:
[0005] An oil circuit on / off control device includes: a valve seat, a valve body, a valve core, a spring, and two electromagnets. The two electromagnets are located on the left and right sides of the valve seat, respectively. A cylindrical hole is formed along the axis in the middle of the valve seat. The valve body is fitted into the cylindrical hole in the valve seat. A cylindrical hole is formed along the axis in the middle of the valve body. The valve core is installed in the cylindrical hole in the valve body. The outer diameters of the two ends of the valve core are smaller than the outer diameter of the middle section. The middle section of the valve core is in contact with the inner wall of the valve body. The two ends of the valve core pass through the valve body and the valve seat in sequence, located within the electromagnet area. Springs are wound around the smaller outer diameter ends of the valve core inside the valve seat. The two ends of the valve seat are sealed. The upper end face of the valve seat has three oil ports from left to right: a return oil port T1, an inlet oil port P, and a return oil port T2. The P port branches into three oil ports inside the valve seat. The lower end face of the valve seat has three oil outlet ports from left to right: a port P3, a port P1, and a port P2. The valve body has holes A and B from left to right. Holes C, D, E, F, and G are radially through holes in the valve body. From left to right, the middle section of the valve core's large outer diameter has non-through annular holes a, b, c, d, and e on its outer circumference. Holes a and b are connected internally within the valve core, as are holes d and e. Hole c is radially through. Hole A connects to port T1. Hole B corresponds to the area between holes a and b and connects to port P3. Hole C is located to the right of hole b and connects to the leftmost oil port branching off from port P. Hole D connects to hole c, the middle oil port branching off from port P, and port P1. Hole E is located to the left of hole d and connects to the rightmost oil port branching off from port P. Hole F corresponds to the area between holes d and e and connects to port P2. Hole G connects to T2. Holes A and G correspond to the two ends of the valve core's small outer diameter, and the space between the two ends of the valve core's small outer diameter forms a return oil tank.
[0006] Furthermore, the valve seat, valve body, and valve core are all cylindrical.
[0007] Furthermore, a screw plug is installed at one end of the valve seat, and the screw plug is sealed to the valve seat by a second sealing ring. The two ends of the small outer diameter of the valve core pass through the valve seat and the screw plug respectively and are sealed by the first sealing ring.
[0008] Furthermore, annular sealing rings are installed between holes A and B, between holes B and C, between holes E and F, and between holes F and G.
[0009] Furthermore, an annular countersunk hole is provided on the valve body, and a through hole that runs radially through the valve body communicates with the annular countersunk hole near the outer cylindrical surface.
[0010] Furthermore, the passages between holes a and b inside the valve core are intersecting passages, as are the passages between holes d and e inside the valve core.
[0011] Furthermore, a return oil T-port is provided on the lower end face of the valve seat, and the T-port is connected to the hole G.
[0012] The control method of the above-mentioned oil circuit on / off control device maintains that the electromagnets on both sides of the valve seat are not energized, the valve core is kept in the neutral position in the oil circuit on / off control device, the P port is connected to the P1 port through holes D and c, the valve core isolates the hole C on the valve body from the hole b on the valve core, isolates the hole E on the valve body from the hole d on the valve core, and disconnects the P port from the P3 and P2 ports, thus realizing the oil circuit connection from P to P1; the electromagnets on both sides of the valve seat are the left electromagnet and the right electromagnet, respectively, maintaining... When the left electromagnet is de-energized and the right electromagnet is energized to generate thrust, the valve core moves to the left and is in the left position. Port P is connected to port P2 through holes E, d, and e, while port P is disconnected from ports P3 and P1, thus achieving oil circuit connection from P to P2. When the right electromagnet is de-energized and the left electromagnet is energized to generate thrust, the valve core moves to the right and is in the right position. Port P is connected to port P3 through holes C, b, and a, while port P is disconnected from ports P1 and P2, thus achieving oil circuit connection from P to P3.
[0013] This invention achieves precise flow distribution between the pre-set connecting channels (ab, de) inside the valve core and the radial holes in the valve body. When the valve core is moved left and right by the electromagnet, the connection / disconnection of the oil inlet P and the target outlets P1 / P2 / P3 is completed synchronously, eliminating the oil circuit interruption window of traditional valve serial opening and closing and avoiding actuator vibration caused by hydraulic shock. Furthermore, when both electromagnets are de-energized, the spring forces the valve core to automatically reset to the neutral position, unconditionally connecting the P→P1 channel, which can serve as the main control oil circuit, reducing switching time. Additionally, this invention relies solely on a single sliding sealing interface between the middle section of the valve core and the inner wall of the valve body to control all high-pressure oil circuits, and annular sealing rings are installed between the oil circuits to reduce oil leakage. Moreover, this device integrates the functions of oil inlet distribution (P-port branching), outlet selection (P1 / P2 / P3), and return oil management (T1 / T2) into a coaxially nested valve seat-valve body-valve core assembly, eliminating intersecting external pipelines, achieving high integration, and reducing the size of the device.
