Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of connector interfaces, and in particular relates to an oil port flange quick-insertion interface structure with an oil collector. Background Art

[0002] As an important control module of the hydraulic control system, the hydraulic valve has higher requirements in terms of installation, maintenance, adjustment and versatility. At present, the connection between the hydraulic valve and the oil cylinder is generally threaded and tightened with a wrench. This connection method not only causes wear on the working port of the valve body, but also makes the disassembly process very troublesome and the versatility of the valve is relatively low. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, new quick-connect connectors have appeared on the market, which not only improve the versatility of the valve, but also greatly improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly, and increase the service life of the valve body.

[0003] The present invention proposes a new quick-connect connector flange with a replaceable oil collector. The interface is connected by a flange, which greatly improves the stability of the connection, and the use of quick-connect plugs improves the efficiency of replacing the oil port. When disassembling the oil port of a general quick-connect connector, some hydraulic oil residue will pollute the ground, cause harm to the environment, and affect the disassembly work. The present invention adds an oil collector. When disassembling the oil port, the switch of the oil collector is turned on, and the residual oil enters the oil collector through the pipeline, which reduces pollution to the environment and is more environmentally friendly. In addition, the oil collector is replaceable, which is more convenient to disassemble than the integral type. Utility Model Content

During assembly, the connector 2 is connected and fixed to the hydraulic valve 1 through the connecting assembly, and the hydraulic valve 1 is connected to the external hydraulic oil circuit through the connector 2. When the oil pump outputs hydraulic oil to work, the hydraulic valve 1 is in an open state, and the hydraulic oil is discharged along the hydraulic oil output oil circuit of the hydraulic valve 1 and flows to the actuator through the external oil circuit. When the actuator is reset, the hydraulic oil in the external hydraulic oil circuit flows back to the hydraulic oil tank through the hydraulic oil recovery oil circuit. When the hydraulic valve 1 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, first ensure that the hydraulic valve 1 is in a closed state, then control the first oil collecting channel 5 to be in an open state through the first control valve, and control the second oil collecting channel 7 to be in an open state through the second control valve, so that the hydraulic oil remaining in the hydraulic valve 1 and the upstream and downstream channels of the hydraulic valve 1 can enter the oil collecting part through the first oil collecting channel 5 and the second oil collecting channel 7 for storage, so as to avoid the hydraulic oil remaining in the hydraulic valve 1 from flowing out during the disassembly of the hydraulic valve 1, firstly, to avoid waste caused by hydraulic oil seepage, and secondly, to avoid hydraulic oil dripping on the clothes, skin, and nearby ground of the staff, which is difficult to clean up. The hydraulic oil collected in the oil collecting part can also flow back to the hydraulic system after the hydraulic valve 1 is assembled, and be reused. When all the hydraulic oil in the oil collecting part flows back to the hydraulic system, the first oil collecting channel 5 is controlled to be in a closed state through the first control valve, and the second oil collecting channel 7 is controlled to be in a closed state through the second control valve, so as to avoid the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil output oil circuit and the hydraulic oil recovery oil circuit from entering the first oil collecting channel 5 and the second oil collecting channel 7 to cause flow loss, thereby ensuring the sensitivity of the entire hydraulic drive system.

[0033] As a specific embodiment of the hydraulic valve 1 and the connecting member 2 in the above embodiment, the hydraulic valve 1 includes a valve housing, on which a first oil circuit 101 and a second oil circuit 102 are arranged, and the connecting member 2 includes a third oil circuit 202 connected to the first oil circuit 101 and a fourth oil circuit 203 connected to the second oil circuit 102, the first oil circuit 101 and the third oil circuit 202 are connected to form a hydraulic oil output circuit, and the second oil circuit 102 and the fourth oil circuit 203 are connected to form a hydraulic oil recovery circuit. This assembly method makes the structure more compact and the layout reasonable, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the whole machine and is suitable for mass production.

[0034] It should be noted that the connector 2 can be designed according to different models of the hydraulic valve 1 and different external oil circuit interfaces, which greatly increases the adaptability range of the hydraulic valve 1.

[0035] As a specific implementation of the connection component in the above implementation, refer to Figure 1 The connecting piece 2 and the hydraulic valve 1 are fixedly connected via a connecting assembly.

[0036] Specifically, the connecting member 2 is a flange 201 , and the connecting assembly includes a plurality of bolts. The flange 201 is fixedly connected to the valve housing of the hydraulic valve 1 through the plurality of bolts, and a sealing ring is provided between the flange 201 and the valve housing of the hydraulic valve 1 .

[0037] The flange 201 can be designed into a rectangular or other non-circular structure, and the installation position of the flange 201 can be determined by the shape of the flange 201, which is convenient for improving installation efficiency. Connecting the flange 201 to the hydraulic valve 1 and the external oil circuit by bolts can improve the stability and mechanical strength of the connection, and the sealing effect of the connection can be increased by setting a sealing ring.

[0038] As a specific implementation of the oil collecting part, refer to Figure 1 The oil collecting part includes an oil collecting tank 3, which is arranged on both sides of the hydraulic valve 1. The two oil collecting tanks 3 are respectively connected to the first oil collecting channel 5 and the second oil collecting channel 7. An oil pump is provided in the oil collecting tank 3 for pumping the internal hydraulic oil to the third oil circuit 202 and / or the fourth oil circuit 203.

[0039] Before the hydraulic valve 1 is disassembled, the first oil collecting channel 5 is converted from a closed state to an open state through the first control valve, and the second oil collecting channel 7 is converted from a closed state to an open state through the second control valve. The hydraulic oil remaining in the inner cavity of the hydraulic valve 1 enters the oil collecting tank 3 for storage under the action of negative pressure. When the hydraulic valve 1 is reinstalled on the hydraulic oil circuit, the hydraulic oil in the oil collecting tank 3 is pumped into the third oil circuit 202 and / or the fourth oil circuit 203 by starting the oil pump, so that the hydraulic oil collected in the oil collecting tank 3 flows back to the hydraulic system, ensuring that the weight of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system does not decrease.

[0040] As another embodiment of the above-mentioned implementation, an oil guide pipe connected to the oil cavity is provided at the bottom of the oil collecting tank 3. Similarly, before the hydraulic valve 1 is disassembled, the first oil collecting channel 5 is switched from a closed state to an open state through the first control valve, and the second oil collecting channel 7 is switched from a closed state to an open state through the second control valve. The hydraulic oil remaining in the inner cavity of the hydraulic valve 1 enters the oil collecting tank 3 for storage under the action of negative pressure, and the hydraulic oil entering the oil collecting tank 3 directly flows back to the oil cavity of the hydraulic cylinder through the oil guide pipe. During the process, the total amount of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system will not leak out due to the disassembly of the connector 2.

[0042] When the first oil collecting channel 5 needs to be open, the first valve stem 4 can be driven to slide from the first position to the second position. Conversely, when the first oil collecting channel 5 needs to be closed, the first valve stem 4 can be driven to reset from the second position to the first position. The first valve stem 4 can adopt an electric telescopic rod. The end of the electric telescopic rod is provided with a closing plug that matches the inner cross-section of the first oil collecting channel 5. When the first valve stem 4 is in the first position, the closing plug is in contact with the inner wall of the first oil collecting channel 5 to cut off the passage of the first oil collecting channel 5.

[0043] Likewise, the second control valve comprises a second valve stem 6 , which is telescopic so as to have a first position closing the second oil collecting channel 7 and a second position opening the second oil collecting channel 7 .

[0044] When the second oil collecting channel 7 needs to be open, the second valve stem 6 can be driven to slide from the second position to the second position. Conversely, when the second oil collecting channel 7 needs to be closed, the second valve stem 6 can be driven to reset from the second position to the second position. The second valve stem 6 can adopt an electric telescopic rod. The end of the electric telescopic rod is provided with a closing plug matching the inner cross-section of the second oil collecting channel 7. When the second valve stem 6 is in the second position, the closing plug is in contact with the inner wall of the second oil collecting channel 7 to cut off the passage of the second oil collecting channel 7.

[0045] In addition, as another preferred embodiment of the first control valve and the second control valve, the first control valve and the second control valve are both stop valves, and the stop valves are electrically driven. The electric control of the stop valve has a faster response, and this control method has better stability and convenience.
