Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engineering vehicles, in particular to a cab height control circuit. Background Art

[0002] The statements herein only provide background art related to the utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Generally, due to working conditions, in order to have a better view, the cabs of engineering vehicles are set very high. When getting on and off the cab, for welcoming guests to visit, or putting materials in the cab, it is not easy for non-professionals to get on and off the vehicle, and due to the excessive height of the cab, it is dangerous for non-professionals to get on and off the vehicle.

[0004] To solve the above problems, engineering vehicles are designed with liftable cabs. The bottom of the cab is connected to an auxiliary chassis through a hydraulic cylinder, and the height of the cab is adjusted by controlling the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder. Existing engineering vehicles generally adopt an electro-hydraulic system, with a special lift control switch set in the cab. By activating the electro-hydraulic pump through the lift control switch, the pump station provides stable pressure to drive the hydraulic cylinder to act to complete the lifting and lowering of the cab.

[0005] However, there is a risk of accidental touch when solely relying on the lift control switch to control the cab height, which is dangerous for non-professionals; and there is a lack of operation monitoring of the hydraulic system, which is likely to damage the hydraulic system. For example, if the hydraulic pipeline valve block is blocked, resulting in too high pressure in the hydraulic system, and if it is still used continuously at this time, it is likely to cause hydraulic system failures and pose safety risks. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the embodiments of the utility model is to provide a cab height control circuit and an engineering vehicle, which use the cab lift function switch and the key panel to realize the lift control of the cab, and at the same time use the pressure switch to monitor the pressure of the hydraulic system, improve the safety of height control, and avoid damaging the hydraulic system.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the utility model provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] A cab height control circuit includes a cab lift function switch, a normally closed relay, a pressure switch, a key panel, and a controller;

[0009] The cab lifting function switch is electrically connected to the first end of the normally closed relay. The second end of the normally closed relay is electrically connected to the key panel. The key panel is communicatively connected to the controller. The controller is electrically connected to a first normally open relay and a second normally open relay respectively. The first normally open relay is electrically connected to a rising electromagnetic valve. The second normally open relay is electrically connected to a falling electromagnetic valve.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cab lifting function switch is closed and the rising button or the falling button on the key panel is pressed, the first normally open relay or the second normally open relay can be closed, thereby controlling the corresponding electromagnetic valve oil circuit to realize the lifting of the cab, and avoiding the safety risk brought by the non-professional personnel accidentally touching the switch to cause the cab to lift. At the same time, the pressure of the hydraulic system is detected by the pressure switch. When the pressure is too high, the pressure switch is closed, the normally closed relay is disconnected, and the lifting control of the cab is stopped, avoiding damage to the hydraulic system caused by overuse.

[0015] The first end of the normally closed switch is electrically connected to the cab lifting function switch. The second end of the normally closed switch is electrically connected to the key panel. The first end of the first coil is grounded. The second end of the first coil is electrically connected to the pressure switch.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure of the hydraulic system exceeds the preset threshold, the pressure switch is closed, the first coil is powered on, the normally closed switch is disconnected, and the cab height control circuit stops running, avoiding overuse of the hydraulic system. At the same time, a diode is provided in the normally closed relay to prevent reverse current and improve the safety of the circuit.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first normally open relay includes a first normally open switch and a second coil, and a second diode is connected in parallel with the second coil;

[0018] A first output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to a first end of the second coil, a second end of the second coil is grounded, and the first normally open switch is electrically connected to the rising electromagnetic valve.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when an electrical signal is output from the first output terminal of the controller, the second coil is energized, the first normally open switch is closed, and the rising electromagnetic valve is activated, thereby controlling the rise of the cab; at the same time, a diode is provided in the first normally open relay to prevent reverse current and improve the safety of the circuit.

[0020] In some embodiments, the second normally open relay includes a second normally open switch and a third coil, and a third diode is connected in parallel with the third coil;

[0021] A second output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to a first end of the third coil, a second end of the third coil is grounded, and the second normally open switch is electrically connected to the descending electromagnetic valve.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when an electrical signal is output from the second output terminal of the controller, the third coil is energized, the second normally open switch is closed, and the descending electromagnetic valve is activated, thereby controlling the descent of the cab; at the same time, a diode is provided in the second normally open relay to prevent reverse current and improve the safety of the circuit.

[0023] In some embodiments, the rising electromagnetic valve is disposed on a rising hydraulic pipeline, and the descending electromagnetic valve is disposed on a descending hydraulic pipeline.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting control of the cab is realized by controlling the on / off of the hydraulic pipeline by the electromagnetic valve.

[0025] In some embodiments, an alarm is further included. A first end of the pressure switch is electrically connected to a power supply, the power supply is electrically connected to a first end of the alarm, and a second end of the alarm is electrically connected to a second end of the pressure switch.

[0026] In some embodiments, the alarm is a buzzer.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure of the hydraulic system is too high, an alarm signal is emitted by the buzzer to prompt the operator to perform safety maintenance on the hydraulic system in time.

[0028] In some embodiments, the pressure switch is a normally open pressure switch, and the controller is a PLC controller.

[0029] The present utility model also provides an engineering vehicle, including the cab height control circuit described above.

[0030] One or more technical solutions provided by the present utility model have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0031] 1. For the technical solution provided by the present utility model, the start control of the cab height control circuit is carried out through the cab lifting function switch and the key panel. The cab height control circuit is started only when both the cab lifting function switch and the up or down button are pressed, reducing the safety risk caused by accidental touch by non-operating personnel in the cab.

[0032] 2. For the technical solution provided by the present utility model, the pressure of the hydraulic system is monitored through a pressure switch and is cooperated with a normally closed relay to control the cab height control circuit.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] As introduced in the background art, the lifting of the cab in the prior art is mostly controlled by a single switch, which has the risk of accidental touch; and the operating state of the hydraulic system is not considered, which has safety risks. To solve the above technical problems, the present utility model proposes a cab height control circuit.
