Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of transmission, and relates to a bidirectional buffer valve structure for a closed loop. BACKGROUND
[0002] In order to reduce or eliminate hydraulic impact caused by sudden change of working conditions, a conventional closed hydraulic system increases a throttling passage with a drain chamber on a single main oil passage. The throttling passage is used to achieve pressure relief when a pressure impact wave peak caused by sudden change of working conditions, and is used to achieve oil supplement when a pressure impact wave caused by sudden change of working conditions, so as to reduce or eliminate hydraulic impact caused by sudden change of working conditions, and the adjustment degree is determined by the size of the throttling hole. The throttling method of the single main oil passage of the conventional method can only adjust hydraulic impact in a single driving direction, and plays a positive role on the oil suction side, but when the reverse drive is performed, the throttling oil passage is directly communicated with the high-pressure side, direct efficiency loss is caused, and a negative effect is caused, so that the system / product is heated and energy is lost. SUMMARY

[0005] In the bidirectional buffer valve structure for a closed loop, first and second mid-grooves are respectively formed in the first and second oil grooves, and the first mid-groove is arranged in line with the second mid-groove.
[0006] In the above-mentioned bidirectional buffer valve structure for a closed circuit, the throttle valve assembly includes a valve body, a throttle orifice on the valve body, a throttle channel connected to the oil circuit on the valve body, a spring in the throttle channel, and a filter screen on the side of the throttle channel near the throttle orifice.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention sets up an oil circuit on the variable arm.

[0014] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Example
[0015] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a bidirectional buffer valve structure for a closed circuit includes an oil circuit body 1, on which an oil pump mounting surface and a motor mounting surface are provided, and the axes of the oil pump mounting surface and the motor mounting surface are arranged at right angles.
[0016] The oil circuit body 1 has a first oil circuit 2 and a second oil circuit 3. A first mounting hole 6 and a second mounting hole 7 are provided on one side of the oil circuit body 1. The first mounting hole 6 is connected to the first oil circuit 2, and the second mounting hole 7 is connected to the second oil circuit 3. Throttling valve assemblies are provided in both the first mounting hole 6 and the second mounting hole 7. The throttle valve assembly in the first mounting hole 6 and the second mounting hole 7 are respectively provided with a first throttle valve assembly and a second throttle valve assembly 5.
[0017] In this embodiment, the first throttle valve assembly 4 and the second throttle valve assembly 5 are the same. Taking the first throttle valve assembly 4 as an example, the throttle valve assembly includes a valve body 51 disposed in the first mounting hole 6. The valve body 51 has a throttle hole 52 and a throttle channel 53 connected to the first oil circuit 2. A spring 54 is disposed in the throttle channel 53. A filter screen 55 is also disposed on the side of the throttle channel 53 near the throttle hole 52. The filter screen 55 can filter the transmission medium to avoid contamination of the transmission medium and affect the normal operation of the valve body 51 and the hydraulic system. In this embodiment, the transmission medium is hydraulic oil or machine oil.
[0018] A variable arm 6 is provided on one side of the oil circuit body 1. The variable arm 6 has a first oil groove 7 and a second oil groove 8. The variable arm 6 has a left limit working position and a right limit working position. When the variable arm 6 is in the left limit working position, the first oil groove 7 is disconnected from the first throttle valve assembly 4, and the second oil groove 8 is connected to the second throttle valve assembly 5. The first oil circuit 2 is a high-pressure oil circuit. Conversely, when the variable arm 6 is in the right limit working position, the second oil groove 8 is disconnected from the second throttle valve assembly 5, and the first oil groove 7 is connected to the first throttle valve assembly 4. The second oil circuit 3 is a high-pressure oil circuit.
[0019] In this embodiment, the left limit position is the maximum angle position of the variable arm 6 rotating to the left, and the right limit position is the maximum angle position of the limiting arm rotating to the right.
[0020] The first oil tank 7 is connected to the first oil circuit 2 through the throttling hole 52 and throttling channel 53 on the valve body 51, and the second oil tank 8 is connected to the second oil circuit 3 through the throttling hole 52 and throttling channel 53 on the valve body 51.
[0021] The first oil tank 7 and the second oil tank 8 are respectively provided with a first neutral position groove 9 and a second neutral position groove 10. The first neutral position groove 9 and the second neutral position groove 10 are arranged in a straight line. When the variable arm 6 is working in the neutral position, the first throttle valve assembly 4 is connected to the first oil tank 7, and the second throttle valve is connected to the second oil tank 8. At this time, the hydraulic variable piston pump has no output, and the hydraulic system does not work, thus avoiding premature output of the piston pump due to the clearance of the variable mechanism, which could lead to malfunction of the hydraulic system. Figure 6 As shown, the angle θ between the tangents at the left and right extreme positions and the center of the variable arm is set to adjust the dead zone angle. In practice, operators can select variable arms with different angles θ according to the actual situation, avoiding premature output of the piston pump due to the clearance of the variable mechanism, which could cause malfunctions in the hydraulic system. Especially when applied to vehicle drive, a reasonable dead zone angle setting can prevent the vehicle from creeping.
[0022] Both the first oil tank 7 and the second oil tank 8 are arc-shaped. When the variable arm 6 is adjusted in angle, the throttling orifice 52 on the valve body 51 of the first throttling valve is always located on the arc-shaped path of the first oil tank 7, and the throttling orifice 52 on the valve body 51 of the second throttling valve is always located on the arc-shaped path of the second oil tank 8.
[0023] When the variable arm 6 is working at its left limit position, the first oil circuit 2 is the high-pressure oil circuit output by the plunger pump. The first throttle valve assembly 4 is separated from the first oil tank 7, and the first throttle valve circuit is disconnected to avoid system leakage and efficiency loss. The second oil circuit 3 is the low-pressure oil circuit input by the plunger pump. The throttle orifice 52 on the valve body 51 of the second throttle valve is located at the rightmost position of the second oil tank 8. The second throttle valve assembly 5 and the second oil circuit 3 are connected throughout their full stroke in this working direction. Opening the throttle valve circuit can reduce the hydraulic system shock caused by sudden load changes.
[0024] When the variable arm 6 is working at its right limit position, the first oil circuit 2 is the low-pressure oil circuit for the piston pump input. The throttle orifice 52 on the first throttle valve body 51 is located at the leftmost position of the first oil groove 7. The first throttle valve assembly 4 is fully connected to the first oil groove 7 in this working direction. Opening the circuit of the first throttle valve assembly 4 can reduce the hydraulic system shock caused by sudden load changes. The second oil circuit 3 is the high-pressure oil circuit for the piston pump output. The second throttle valve assembly 5 is separated from the second oil circuit 3. The throttle valve circuit is disconnected to avoid system leakage and efficiency loss.
[0025] The variable arm 6 is mechanically connected to an external variable handle, synchronously driving the variable swashplate to swing at a corresponding angle to adjust the variable angle of the hydraulic piston pump and the direction of the working oil circuit, thereby achieving high-low pressure switching between the first oil circuit 2 and the second oil circuit 3. As the working direction of the variable arm 6 changes, the working position of the throttle circuit also changes accordingly, always keeping the throttle circuit on the low-pressure side of the closed hydraulic system. This fulfills the buffering function requirement of the throttle valve while avoiding the efficiency loss problem caused by the throttle valve.

Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of the invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
