Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of hydraulic control system technology, specifically an integrated pressure loss protection valve group for a deep-sea hydraulic manipulator. Background Technology
[0002] Deep-sea hydraulic manipulators are a key component of deep-sea exploration and operation equipment. The joints of deep-sea hydraulic manipulators are typically driven by hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic motors controlled by servo valves. To ensure that the deep-sea hydraulic manipulator can stably remain in a designated position during operation, a hydraulically controlled check valve is usually installed in the hydraulic circuit to achieve pressure holding and locking functions.
[0003] However, in the extreme environment of the deep sea, the hydraulic system may suddenly lose pressure for various reasons (such as pump failure, pipeline rupture, etc.). When the hydraulic system loses pressure, the hydraulically controlled check valve will fail to open due to the loss of control pressure, causing the joints of the deep-sea hydraulic manipulator to lock in the current position. This uncontrolled locking state can cause serious damage to the submersible to which the deep-sea hydraulic manipulator belongs, such as the inability to release the gripper holding the heavy object.
[0004] Furthermore, the servo valve spool exhibits zero drift when in the neutral position, causing the actuator to move slowly (creep) when there is no control signal. Addressing zero drift typically requires adding sensors and complex electronic control systems for compensation, which increases the complexity and cost of the hydraulic system and poses reliability challenges in high-pressure deep-sea environments.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a servo control valve assembly that can integrate underpressure protection and anti-zero drift functions, and has a compact structure and high reliability, in order to meet the demanding working requirements of deep-sea hydraulic manipulators.

[0039] In this embodiment, the control oil circuits of the first hydraulic check valve 3 and the second hydraulic check valve 6 are cross-connected. That is, the first hydraulic check valve 3 is connected to the first hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 34, and the second hydraulic check valve 6 is connected to the second hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 35. The first hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 34 is connected to the oil inlet of the second hydraulic check valve 6, and the second hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 35 is connected to the oil inlet of the first hydraulic check valve 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, the control oil circuit 34 of the first hydraulic check valve is T-shaped. One end of one side (the horizontal side of the T-shape) of the control oil circuit 34 of the first hydraulic check valve is connected to the oil circuit (second oil circuit 22) of the oil inlet of the second hydraulic check valve 6. The other end of one side (the horizontal side of the T-shape) of the control oil circuit 34 of the first hydraulic check valve opens to the side of the valve body 1 and an oil circuit process plug 20 is installed at the opening. The other side (the vertical side of the T-shape) of the control oil circuit 34 of the first hydraulic check valve passes through the first hydraulic check valve 3 and opens to the other side of the valve body 1, and an oil circuit process plug 20 is installed at the opening. The control oil passage 35 of the second hydraulic check valve is T-shaped. One end of one side (the horizontal side of the T-shape) of the control oil passage 35 of the second hydraulic check valve is connected to the oil passage (first oil passage 21) of the oil inlet of the first hydraulic check valve 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 has a control piston valve hole 16 for installing the control piston 5. The fifth oil port A2, which connects to the oil passage (first oil passage 21), and the sixth oil port B2, which connects to the oil passage (second oil passage 22), are respectively connected to the control piston valve hole 16. The control piston 5 in this embodiment is provided with two sealing rings 17. One sealing ring 17 is located at the end of the control piston valve hole 16 near the side of the valve body 1, and the other sealing ring 17 is located between the fifth oil port A2 connecting to the oil passage (first oil passage 21) and the sixth oil port B2 connecting to the oil passage (second oil passage 22).
[0042] In this embodiment, the damping orifice inside the control piston 5 includes an interconnected axial central hole 19 and a radial hole 18. The axial central hole 19 is axially located along the control piston 5, with one end being a closed end inside the control piston 5 and the other end extending to the end of the control piston 5. The radial hole 18 is radially located along the control piston 5, with both ends extending to the outer surface of the control piston 5. The radial hole 18 is perpendicularly connected to the axial central hole 19. The diameter and length of the damping orifice need to be large enough to ensure that the dynamic response is not affected when the servo valve 2 is operating normally; however, they also need to be small enough to allow the small flow generated by zero drift to pass through, thereby achieving the anti-zero drift function. In this embodiment, the diameter of the axial central hole 19 is 0.4 mm and the length is 14 mm, while the diameter of the radial hole 18 is 1 mm and the length is 5 mm.
[0043] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 has two hydraulically controlled check valve holes 7 and two check valve holes 14. The two hydraulically controlled check valve holes 7 are opened at the same height and are blind holes, and each hydraulically controlled check valve hole 7 has a hydraulically controlled check valve process plug 8 at its open end. The two check valve holes 14 are opened at the same height and are blind holes, located below the two hydraulically controlled check valve holes 7, and each check valve hole 14 has a check valve process plug 15 at its open end. The hydraulically controlled check valve holes 7 and check valve holes 14 are opened inward from the same side of the valve body 1, and the axial center line of the hydraulically controlled check valve hole 7 is parallel to the axial center line of the check valve hole 14. The control piston valve hole 16 on which the control piston 5 is installed is opened inward from the adjacent side of the valve body 1, and the axial center line of the control piston valve hole 16 is perpendicular to but does not intersect with the axial center lines of the hydraulically controlled check valve hole 7 and the check valve hole 14.
[0044] In this embodiment, the other end of one side (T-shaped horizontal edge) of the first hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 34, the other end of one side (T-shaped horizontal edge) of the second hydraulic check valve control oil circuit 35, the end of the eleventh oil circuit 31, the opening ends of the two hydraulic check valve holes 7, and the opening ends of the two check valve holes 14 are all located on the same side of the valve body 1 (e.g., Figure 14 The openings at the other end of the twelfth oil passage 32, the other side (T-shaped vertical side) of the first hydraulic check valve control oil passage 34, and the opening of the control piston valve hole 16 are all located on the other identical side of the valve body 1 (e.g., the front of the valve body 1). Figure 14 On the left side of the valve body 1), the opening on the other side (the T-shaped vertical side) of the control oil circuit 35 of the second hydraulic check valve is located on another identical side of the valve body 1 (e.g., on the left side of the valve body 1). Figure 14 (Right side of valve body 1).
[0045] In this embodiment, the valve body 1 is preferably machined from a single piece of high-strength aluminum alloy to withstand high-pressure environments. The servo valve 2 is fixed to the machined surface on the top of the valve body 1 by four mounting screws and achieves static sealing through an O-ring.
[0046] The first hydraulic control check valve 3 and the second hydraulic control check valve 6 of the present invention are both commercially available products, purchased from KEPNER Corporation in the United States, model number 2741.
[0047] During operation, the first hydraulically controlled check valve 3 and the second hydraulically controlled check valve 6 are used to maintain pressure and lock the joints of the robotic arm. The control oil circuits 34 and 35 of the first and second hydraulically controlled check valves are cross-connected, allowing the valve assembly to lock securely during normal operation and to release smoothly when action is required. The first check valve 4 and the second check valve 13 constitute the core components of the pressure loss protection system.
[0048] Anti-servo valve zero drift: When servo valve 2 is in the neutral position and zero drift occurs, a small amount of leaking oil will flow slowly from the higher pressure oil path (such as the first oil path 21 connected to the fifth oil port A2) through the damping orifice in the control piston 5 to the lower pressure oil path (such as the second oil path 22 connected to the sixth oil port B2), and finally flow back to servo valve 2. This process creates a dynamic balance between the first oil path 21 connected to the fifth oil port A2 and the second oil path 22 connected to the sixth oil port B2, eliminating the pressure difference caused by zero drift in the fifth oil path 25 connected to the first oil port A1 or the eighth oil path 28 connected to the second oil port B1, thereby avoiding slow movement (crawling) of the robot joint without the need for additional sensors and electronic control compensation.
[0049] System pressure loss protection: When the hydraulic system is working normally, the third port P1 always maintains the system pressure, and the first check valve 4 and the second check valve 13 are closed under pressure. When a sudden system failure causes the pressure at the third port P1 to drop to 0, the first check valve 4 connected to the first port A1 and the second check valve 13 connected to the second port B1 will be quickly pushed open by the residual pressure at the first port A1 or the second port B1 due to the disappearance of their shut-off pressure. This allows the high-pressure oil locked in the fourth oil circuit 24, the fifth oil circuit 25, the seventh oil circuit 27, and the eighth oil circuit 28 by the first hydraulically controlled check valve 3 and the second hydraulically controlled check valve 6 to be released. In this way, the manipulator joint is no longer in a rigid locked state and can move slowly under external force, thus avoiding structural locking and realizing the pressure loss protection function.
[0050] This invention achieves four major functions—servo control, pressure holding and locking, pressure loss protection, and zero drift resistance—simultaneously on a single valve group through ingenious oil circuit design and structural integration. It is particularly suitable for deep-sea hydraulic manipulator systems with extremely high reliability requirements.
[0051] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
