Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of loader hydraulic systems, in particular to a loader confluence control hydraulic system. Background Art
[0002] As a widely used construction machinery, loaders have different uses and complex working conditions, which determine the complexity of their hydraulic systems. Currently, common loader hydraulic systems mainly include dual fixed-displacement pump systems, combined fixed-displacement pump and variable-displacement pump systems, and dual variable-displacement pump systems.
[0003] There is a semi-variable confluence hydraulic system for loaders disclosed in Chinese patent announcement number CN218148627U. In this scheme, the variable pump and gear pump are controlled to merge, which can improve work efficiency. However, when the working pressure is high, the confluence of large flow and high pressure will cause large power consumption and waste energy; moreover, when the pilot valve handle is slightly moved (the expected working speed is slow), the variable pump has a large flow confluence, the mid-position loss is large, and the micro-movement performance of the operation is poor; moreover, when the boom is lowered, the variable pump and the gear pump merge to participate in the descent. At this time, as long as the handle is moved and the reversing valve core is opened, the large flow will participate in the descent work. Due to the impact of the large flow, the front section of the descent will be smashed, the driver's operation experience is poor, and the large flow loss causes excess energy loss.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0033] An oil outlet of the steering constant power variable displacement piston pump 2a is simultaneously connected to the P port of the flow control conversion valve, the P1 port of the pressure reducing valve 7, the pilot oil supply valve 13 and the P3 port of the control valve.
[0034] The EF port of the flow control conversion valve 6 is connected to the oil circuit between the unloading valve 9 and the multi-way valve 10, forming a confluence of the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a and the working quantitative gear pump 3a and supplying oil to the multi-way valve 10.
[0035] The oil outlet P2 of the pressure reducing valve 7 is connected to the a port and the b port of the flow control conversion valve 6 through the high-pressure steering gear 5 , and the A port and the B port of the flow control conversion valve 6 are connected to the rodless chamber of the steering cylinder 8 .
[0036] The pilot oil supply valve 13 is connected to the P port of the pilot valve 12;
[0037] The oil ports a1 and b1 of the pilot valve 12 are connected to the oil ports a1 and b1 of the shuttle valve 11, and the oil ports a1 and b1 of the shuttle valve 11 are connected to the oil ports b1 and a1 of the multi-way valve 10. The two oil outlets of the multi-way valve 10 corresponding to the oil ports b1 and a1 are connected to the rodless chamber of the bucket cylinder 15, thereby forming a circulating oil circuit for controlling the action of the bucket cylinder 15.
[0038] The oil port b2 of the pilot valve 12 is connected to the oil port b2 of the shuttle valve 11, and the oil port b2 of the shuttle valve 11 is connected to the oil port a2 of the multi-way valve 10. At the same time, the oil port a2 of the pilot valve 12 bypasses the shuttle valve 11 and is directly connected to the oil port b2 of the multi-way valve 10, and the two oil outlets of the multi-way valve 10 corresponding to the oil ports a2 and b2 are connected to the rodless chamber of the boom cylinder 14, thereby forming a circulating oil circuit for controlling the movement of the boom cylinder 14.
[0039] The oil inlet P1 of the control valve 4 is connected to an oil outlet c of the shuttle valve 11 to collect the pressure signal from the shuttle valve 11; an oil outlet P4 of the control valve 4 is connected to an oil inlet of the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a to control the flow of the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a; the other two oil outlets P5 and P2 of the control valve 4 are respectively connected to the LS port of the flow control conversion valve 6 and the LS port of the high-pressure steering gear 5; the T port of the control valve 4 is connected to the T port of the flow control conversion valve 6.

[0041] In combination with the above, the working principle of the utility model is:
[0042] The confluence control hydraulic system of the utility model comprises a steering hydraulic system and a working hydraulic system.
[0043] The steering hydraulic system is mainly composed of a steering constant power variable piston pump 2a, a flow control conversion valve 6, a high-pressure steering gear 5, a pressure reducing valve 7, a control valve 4 and a steering cylinder 8. When steering, the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a supplies oil on demand according to the steering speed and angle change, and the high-pressure signal oil output by the high-pressure steering gear 5 and the high-pressure oil output by the flow control conversion valve 6 enter the steering cylinder 8 together to participate in steering, thereby reducing energy consumption loss.
[0044] The working hydraulic system is mainly composed of a working quantitative gear pump 3a, an unloading valve 9, a pilot oil supply valve 13, a pilot valve 12, a shuttle valve 11, a control valve 4, a multi-way valve 10, a boom cylinder 14, a bucket cylinder 15, a flow control conversion valve 6 and a steering constant power variable piston pump 2a. When the working system pressure reaches a high level, a high pressure and a small flow rate can meet the normal operation of the system, and the working quantitative gear pump 3a is unloaded by low pressure to avoid high pressure overflow loss.
[0045] The utility model can have at least the following benefits:
[0046] 1. The steering constant power variable piston pump 2a can be controlled to a kw. When the power consumption of the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a of the confluence control hydraulic system is less than a kw, at this time (a kw (power consumption) = P (pressure) * Q (flow) / 600 < akw) the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a will not adjust the output flow Q due to the change of load P. When the power consumption of the hydraulic system reaches akw, at this time (a kw = P * Q / 600 = a kw) the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a will adjust the output flow Q according to the real-time load P change to maintain the hydraulic system a kw constant. If the load P increases, the flow Q decreases, and if the load P decreases, the flow Q increases.
[0047] The constant power control function of the constant power variable piston pump 2a can adjust the output flow Q of the constant power variable piston pump 2a according to the real-time load P, maintain constant power consumption, reduce the mid-position bypass energy loss, and improve the energy consumption economy.
[0048] 2. The output pressure of the pilot valve 12 is 0 - Px bar. By adjusting the opening pressure of the control valve 4 to be Py bar (0 < Py < Px), as long as the handle of the pilot valve is slightly moved (the output pressure of the pilot valve 12 is less than Py bar), the shuttle valve 11 will feedback the pilot pressure signal to the control valve 4 (through the oil circuit between port c of the shuttle valve 11 and port P1 of the control valve 4). At this time, the pilot pressure is less than the opening pressure of the control valve 4, and the control valve 4 does not open, and the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a operates at the minimum displacement. If the handle is moved significantly (the output pressure of the pilot valve 12 is greater than Py bar), the shuttle valve 11 will feedback this pilot pressure signal to the control valve 4. At this time, the pilot pressure is greater than the opening pressure of the control valve 4, and the spool of the control valve 4 moves leftward, and the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a confluences at the maximum displacement. In this way, when the handle is slightly moved (expecting a slower working speed), the confluence flow of the variable pump 2 can be reduced, and the energy consumption waste of the middle bypass can be reduced. When the handle is moved significantly (expecting a faster working speed), the two pumps can confluence at the maximum displacement, enabling fast operation and improving production efficiency.
[0049] 3. Since the oil port a2 of the pilot valve 12 bypasses the shuttle valve 11 and is directly connected to the oil port b2 of the multi-way valve 10, that is, the descending pilot pressure signal of the pilot valve 12 does not access the shuttle valve 11, and the descending pilot pressure signal will not be feedback to the control valve 4, that is, the control valve 4 does not open, and the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a operates at the minimum displacement, avoiding the slamming phenomenon that occurs in the front section of the descent due to the large-flow impact when the reversing spool of the multi-way valve 10 just opens, improving the driver's operating experience and reducing the redundant energy consumption caused by flow loss. At the same time, when the boom descends rapidly, it can achieve rapid descent only by relying on the self-weight of the working device, and the flow of the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a will not confluence into the working hydraulic system, reducing the energy consumption waste of the middle bypass.
[0050] In this state, when the boom descends rapidly, since the steering constant power variable piston pump 2a does not participate in the confluence operation, it may cause the rod chamber of the boom cylinder 14 to have a suction void (negative pressure) phenomenon. However, through actual testing, no suction void (negative pressure) occurred in the rod chamber during the whole process. The test data is as Figure 2 shown. During the peak segment (10 - 12) of the pilot pressure in the small chamber of the boom, the corresponding value of the pressure in the small chamber of the boom is always greater than 0 and does not drop below 0, thus proving that no suction void situation occurred.
[0051] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, equivalent changes and modifications made without departing from the principle of the present invention should still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
