DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the present application can be implemented in various different ways as defined and covered by the following description.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a preferred embodiment of the present application provides a shield machine cutter drive hydraulic energy recovery system, which comprises a cutter drive system for driving the cutter to rotate in forward and reverse directions, a detector group, an energy conversion recovery system, and a controller 18 connected to the cutter drive system, the detector group, and the energy conversion recovery system. The cutter drive system comprises a cutter drive motor 8 for driving the cutter to rotate, and an electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 for changing the oil supply direction to correspondingly control the cutter drive motor 8 to rotate in forward or reverse directions. The detector group is used to detect the oil pressure on the high pressure side of the cutter drive motor 8 and the rotational speed of the cutter, respectively, and feed back to the controller 18. The controller 18 is used to start the cutter drive energy recovery mode when the oil pressure and the rotational speed both meet the system set requirement values, so as to move the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 to the neutral position and turn on the energy conversion recovery system. The energy conversion recovery system is connected to the high pressure side of the cutter drive motor 8, so as to turn on the high pressure oil on the high pressure side of the cutter drive motor 8 in the cutter drive energy recovery mode, and convert and recover the pressure energy of the extracted high pressure oil.

[0022] The working principle of the present application is shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and 2 Detailed description is given as follows, and the working principle is shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 1 and the accompanying drawings Figure 2 As shown in the accompanying drawings, the detector group feeds back the oil pressure of the high pressure side of the cutter driving motor 8 and the rotating speed of the cutter to the controller 18, and the controller 18 is used to start the cutter driving energy recovery mode when the received oil pressure value and rotating speed value meet the preset trigger value, at this time, the controller 18 drives the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 to move to the middle position, and makes the energy conversion recovery system conductive, in this mode, the energy of the cutter can be recovered and stored, and the specific working principle is described as follows: When the cutter is in the positive rotation state, and the detector group detects that the cutter is in the deceleration state or braking state through the feedback of the detection value, the controller 18 judges whether the cutter driving energy recovery mode condition is met, and enters the cutter driving energy recovery mode when the condition is met. The controller 18 outputs the control signal to the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the energy conversion recovery system, at this time, the cutter driving motor 8 continues to rotate in the positive direction under the action of inertia, and the energy conversion recovery system is powered on and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 is moved to the middle position. At this time, the flow direction of the high pressure side oil is that the oil of the high pressure oil port of the cutter driving motor 8 flows into the energy conversion recovery system under the action of the inertia torque, and the energy conversion recovery system is used for energy conversion and storage, and the flow direction of the low pressure side oil is that the oil flows into the low pressure oil port of the cutter driving motor 8 through the container for storing oil in the cutter driving system and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6. When the cutter driving motor 8 completely stops, the detector group feeds back the detected signal to the controller 18, and the controller 18 automatically exits the cutter driving energy recovery mode after program judgment, at this time, the cutter driving energy recovery mode ends. When the cutter is in the reverse rotation state, the working process is similar to that in the positive rotation state, except that the high pressure oil side and the low pressure oil side of the cutter driving motor 8 are transposed, and the rest of the working process is the same, which is not repeated here.

[0023] The cutter head needs a certain time from starting braking to completely stopping in the cutter head deceleration or braking condition, and the kinetic energy changes in the cutter head during deceleration or braking. In order to fully utilize the kinetic energy of the cutter head during braking, the hydraulic energy recovery technology is used to convert and recover the kinetic energy of the cutter head to improve the energy utilization efficiency of the shield machine. During work, the detector group first identifies the running state change of the cutter head drive motor 8 and transmits it to the controller 18. After the program of the controller 18 is judged, the recoverable state of the energy of the cutter head drive motor 8 is determined and the energy recovery mode is defined. The kinetic energy of the cutter head drive deceleration and braking is recovered and stored in the energy recovery mode, so that the program operation has high automation degree, the cutter head drive energy recovery mode is opened in time, and the energy recovery is timely and efficient. In the cutter head drive energy recovery condition, the on-off of the energy recovery oil circuit is controlled through the switching of the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the energy conversion recovery system, so as to avoid that the high-pressure oil on the high-pressure side of the cutter head drive motor 8 is consumed by the cutter head drive system and then recovered, but the high-pressure oil on the high-pressure side of the cutter head drive motor 8 is directly led out through the energy conversion recovery system and then recovered, so that the recoverable energy of the high-pressure oil is maximized and the energy recovery efficiency is improved. When the cutter head drive motor 8 is in the recoverable energy area and the energy recovery mode is used in the cutter head deceleration or braking condition, the deceleration action of the cutter head drive does not consume additional energy of the system, but uses the kinetic energy of the cutter head deceleration or braking itself to act, and the kinetic energy is recovered and stored during the action process, so as to achieve the purpose of energy recovery. Therefore, the hydraulic system of the present scheme is more energy-saving and efficient than the existing scheme.

[0024] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 , the energy conversion recovery system includes a high-pressure oil leading-out circuit and an energy conversion recovery circuit. The inlet end of the high-pressure oil leading-out circuit is connected to the high-pressure side of the cutter head drive motor 8, and the outlet end of the high-pressure oil leading-out circuit is connected to the inlet end of the energy conversion recovery circuit to conduct when the cutter head drive energy recovery mode is used to lead out the high-pressure oil on the high-pressure side of the cutter head drive motor 8. The energy conversion recovery circuit is used to convert the pressure energy of the high-pressure oil into electrical energy storage, and to recover the low-pressure oil formed after energy conversion, or the energy conversion recovery circuit is used to directly store the pressure energy of the high-pressure oil, and to recover the low-pressure oil formed after energy conversion.

[0025] In this optional scheme, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the high-pressure oil outlet circuit includes a first outlet oil path and a second outlet oil path. The first outlet oil path includes an L-port connecting the cutter head drive motor 8 and a first outlet pipe connected to the energy conversion and recovery circuit, and a first solenoid ball valve 9 installed in the first outlet pipe. The second outlet oil path includes an R-port connecting the cutter head drive motor 8 and a second outlet pipe connected to the energy conversion and recovery circuit, and a second solenoid ball valve 10 installed in the second outlet pipe. During operation, since the cutter head can rotate forward or backward under the action of the cutter head drive system, the two oil ports of the cutter head drive motor 8 can be correspondingly high-pressure oil ports. In this optional scheme, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the L port of the cutter head drive motor 8 is defined as the high-pressure oil port when the cutter head rotates forward, and the R port of the cutter head drive motor 8 is defined as the high-pressure oil port when the cutter head rotates backward. At this time, the high-pressure oil lead-out circuit needs to include two circuits, namely the first lead-out oil circuit and the second lead-out oil circuit. When the cutter head rotates forward for energy recovery, the first lead-out oil circuit is opened to lead out high-pressure oil, while the second lead-out oil circuit is closed so that the oil can enter from the low-pressure side of the cutter head drive motor 8 for replenishment. Similarly, when the cutter head rotates backward for energy recovery, the second lead-out oil circuit is opened to lead out high-pressure oil, while the first lead-out oil circuit is closed so that the oil can enter through the low-pressure oil port for replenishment.

[0026] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detector group includes a first pressure detector 16 and a second pressure detector 15 for detecting the pressure at the L and R oil ports on both sides of the cutter head drive motor 8, respectively, and a speed detector 17 for detecting the rotational speed of the cutter head. The first pressure detector 16, the second pressure detector 15, and the speed detector 17 are respectively connected to the controller 18. When the cutter head rotates forward, the first pressure detector 16 works in conjunction with the speed detector 17 to detect whether the cutter head is in a deceleration or braking state; when the cutter head rotates in reverse, the second pressure detector 15 works in conjunction with the speed detector 17 to detect whether the cutter head is in a deceleration or braking state.

[0027] Optionally, a first embodiment of the energy conversion and recovery loop, such as Figure 1 As shown, the energy conversion and recovery circuit includes an energy conversion motor 11 for converting the pressure energy of high-pressure oil into mechanical energy, a generator 12 for generating electricity driven by the energy conversion motor 11, and a capacitor 13 for storing electrical energy. The oil inlet side of the energy conversion motor 11 is connected to the outlet ends of both the first and second outlet pipes via a first oil outlet pipe. The oil outlet side of the energy conversion motor 11 is connected to an oil storage tank 14 for low-pressure oil storage. The generator 12 is connected to the energy conversion motor 11, and the capacitor 13 is connected to the generator 12.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the working principle of Embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows: When the cutterhead is in the positive rotation state, and the second pressure detector 15, the first pressure detector 16 and the speed detector 17 detect that the cutterhead is in the deceleration state or the braking state, the controller 18 judges whether the cutterhead driving energy recovery mode condition is met, and enters the cutterhead driving energy recovery mode when the condition is met. The controller 18 outputs the control signal to the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the first electromagnetic ball valve 9, and the cutterhead driving motor 8 continues to rotate in the positive direction under the action of the inertia. The electromagnet a1 of the first electromagnetic ball valve 9 is powered, and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the second electromagnetic ball valve 10 are in the power-off state. The first leading oil circuit is connected, the second leading circuit is closed, and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 works in the middle state. ① The flow direction of the oil liquid on the high-pressure side is that the oil liquid in the L oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 flows under the action of the inertial torque, wherein the oil liquid in the L oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 enters the A3 oil port and the B3 oil port of the energy conversion motor 11 through the L1 oil port and the L2 oil port of the first electromagnetic ball valve 9, and then returns to the oil tank 14 and drives the energy conversion motor 11 to rotate. The rotating energy conversion motor 11 drives the generator 12 to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is stored in the capacitor 13 and then used by other power-consuming elements. ② The flow direction of the oil liquid on the low-pressure side is that the oil liquid enters the R oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 through the T2 oil port and the A2 oil port of the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 to supplement the oil. When the cutterhead driving motor 8 completely stops, the motor signals detected by the second pressure detector 15, the first pressure detector 16 and the speed detector 17 are fed back to the controller 18, the controller 18 automatically exits the energy recovery mode after program judgment, and the first leading oil circuit is closed again. At this time, the energy recovery mode ends.

[0029] When the second pressure detector 15, the first pressure detector 16 and the speed detector 17 detect that the cutterhead is in deceleration or braking state through the feedback of the detected values, the controller 18 judges whether the cutterhead driving energy recovery mode condition is met, and enters the cutterhead driving energy recovery mode when the condition is met. The controller 18 outputs control signals to the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the second electromagnetic ball valve 10, and the cutterhead driving motor 8 continues to rotate reversely under the action of inertia. The electromagnet a2 of the second electromagnetic ball valve 10 is powered, and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 and the first electromagnetic ball valve 9 are in the unpowered state. The second leading oil circuit is connected, the first leading oil circuit is closed, and the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 works in the middle state. ① The flow direction of the high-pressure oil is that the oil in the R oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 flows under the action of the inertial torque, wherein the oil in the R oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 enters the A3 oil port and the B3 oil port of the energy conversion motor 11 through the R1 oil port and the R2 oil port of the second electromagnetic ball valve 10, returns to the oil tank 14 and drives the energy conversion motor 11 to rotate, the rotating energy conversion motor 11 drives the generator 12 to generate electricity, and the generated electricity is stored in the capacitor 13 and then used by other power-consuming elements. ② The flow direction of the low-pressure oil is that the oil enters the L oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 through the T2 oil port and the B2 oil port of the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6 to supplement the oil. When the cutterhead driving motor 8 completely stops, the motor signals detected by the second pressure detector 15, the first pressure detector 16 and the speed detector 17 are fed back to the controller 18, the controller 18 automatically exits the energy recovery mode after program judgment, the second leading oil circuit is closed again, and the energy recovery mode ends.

[0030] Alternatively, the second embodiment of the energy conversion recovery circuit is shown in Figure 2 The energy conversion recovery circuit includes an accumulator 19 for storing high-pressure oil and a first overflow circuit for overflowing the excess high-pressure oil.

The first overflow circuit includes a first overflow pipe, the oil tank 14 connected to the oil outlet end of the first overflow pipe, and a first overflow valve 21 arranged in the first overflow pipe. The oil inlet end of the first overflow pipe is connected to the second oil outlet pipe. When the cutterhead rotates forward, the oil in the L oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 enters the accumulator 19 for storage through the L1 oil port and the L2 oil port of the first electromagnetic ball valve 9 and the second oil outlet pipe, and the excess high-pressure oil overflows to the oil tank 14 through the first overflow valve 21 in the first overflow circuit; when the cutterhead rotates reversely, the oil in the R oil port of the cutterhead driving motor 8 enters the accumulator 19 for storage through the R1 oil port and the R2 oil port of the second electromagnetic ball valve 10 and the second oil outlet pipe, and the excess high-pressure oil overflows to the oil tank 14 through the first overflow valve 21 in the first overflow circuit.

[0031] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 The energy conversion recovery circuit further comprises a pressure relief circuit, which comprises a pressure relief pipe, an oil storage tank 14 connected to the oil outlet end of the pressure relief pipe, a pressure gauge 20 and a pressure relief ball valve 22 arranged in the pipeline of the pressure relief pipe in sequence. The oil inlet end of the pressure relief pipe is connected to the second oil outlet pipe. In operation, when the accumulator 19 malfunctions, the high-pressure oil can be directly discharged to the oil storage tank 14 through the pressure relief circuit, thereby protecting the entire system.

[0032] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cutter head driving system comprises a hydraulic oil tank 1 for containing hydraulic oil, a variable pump 3 for pumping hydraulic oil, a driving motor 4 for driving the variable pump 3 to operate, a filter 5 for filtering the pumped hydraulic oil, an electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6, a balance valve group 7 for preventing the cutter head from rotating under load, and a cutter head driving motor 8.

The two output ends of the balance valve group 7 are respectively connected to the L oil port and the R oil port on both sides of the cutter head driving motor 8, and the oil outlet side of the cutter head driving motor 8 is communicated with the hydraulic oil tank 1. The driving motor 4 is connected to the variable pump 3. When the cutter head rotates forward, the oil flow direction on the low-pressure side is: the oil in the hydraulic oil tank 1 flows through the T2 and A2 oil ports of the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6, enters the R oil port of the cutter head driving motor 8 through the V1 and C1 oil ports of the balance valve group 7, and performs oil supplement; when the cutter head rotates reversely, the oil flow direction on the low-pressure side is: the oil in the hydraulic oil tank 1 flows through the T2 and B2 oil ports of the electro-hydraulic reversing valve 6, enters the L oil port of the cutter head driving motor 8 through the V2 and C2 oil ports of the balance valve group 7, and performs oil supplement. In this optional scheme, in order to improve the energy recovery efficiency, the balance valve oil circuit of the cutter head driving motor 8 is short-circuited in the cutter head driving energy recovery mode, that is, the high-pressure oil on the high-pressure side of the cutter head driving motor 8 is directly led out through the first leading oil circuit or the second leading oil circuit without passing through the balance valve group 7 again, thereby avoiding the consumption of energy by the balance valve group 7, making the energy as much as possible to be recovered, and further improving the energy recovery efficiency.
