DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0022] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and is intended to provide further explanation of the present utility model. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs.

[0023] When the excavator is operating, it can perform fine leveling. Lower the boom of the excavator slightly so that the stick is perpendicular to the ground, and the movement range of the stick is about 45 degrees. Open the bucket so that the bucket mouth is basically horizontal with the second arm. After the bucket touches the ground, retract the second arm and raise the boom to pull the soil backward; after finishing one shovel width, move the fuselage and complete the leveling in sequence. At this time, slow control of the stick is required to ensure the accurate final position of the bucket.

[0024] The following combines the attached drawings to describe the present utility model in detail. An excavator stick retraction mechanism disclosed in this embodiment is as Figure 1As shown in the figure, it includes a boom control valve 1. The valve port at the lower part of the boom control valve 1 is connected to an oil circuit system 2. The valve port at the upper part of the boom control valve 1 is connected to a pilot pressure speed regulating valve, and the pilot pressure speed regulating valve is connected to a boom cylinder 7. A boom proximity induction plate 9 is arranged on the hydraulic rod of the boom cylinder 7. At one end of the upper part of the boom cylinder 7, a boom retraction contact head 10 is arranged, and at the other end, a boom extension contact head 8 is arranged. The boom retraction contact head 10 and the boom extension contact head 8 are connected to a boom proximity switch, the boom proximity switch is connected to a relay, the relay is electrically connected to an electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve, and the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve is connected in parallel with the pilot pressure speed regulating valve.

[0025] Through the extension contact head and the retraction contact head on the boom cylinder 7 contacting the boom proximity induction plate 9, after the contact, the proximity switch senses that the hydraulic rod of the boom cylinder 7 enters the speed regulation state, the proximity switch disconnects to make the relay close, the electro-hydraulic proportional pressure reducing valve gets electricity, and according to the retraction or extension state, it supplies oil or discharges oil to the oil cavity of the boom cylinder 7, thereby reducing the valve port of the pilot pressure speed regulating valve and reducing the oil flow at the oil inlet of the hydraulic cylinder, and further slowing down the boom during extension or retraction.

[0026] The pilot pressure speed regulating valve includes a first pilot pressure speed regulating valve 3 and a second pilot pressure speed regulating valve 5. One valve port at the upper part of the boom control valve 1 is connected to one end of the first pilot pressure speed regulating valve 3, and the other valve port is connected to one end of the second pilot pressure speed regulating valve 5.

In the retraction state, the boom retraction contact head 10 contacts the boom proximity induction plate 9, making the boom retraction proximity switch 12 disconnect. In the extension state, the boom extension contact head 8 contacts the boom proximity induction plate 9, making the boom extension proximity switch 11 disconnect. When the boom retraction proximity switch 12 or the boom extension proximity switch disconnects, the relay closes, and then the pressure reducing valve gets electricity for pressure reduction, thereby realizing the speed reduction of the boom during extension or retraction.

[0028] A relay is an electronic control device that has a control system (also known as the input circuit) and a controlled system (also known as the output circuit), and is usually applied to an automatic control circuit. The boom retraction proximity switch 12 is connected to the first relay 13, and the boom extension proximity switch 11 is connected to the second relay 14; the upper ends of the boom retraction proximity switch 12 and the boom extension proximity switch 11 are connected by a first wire 20, and the lower ends are connected by a second wire 21.

The first relay 13 and the second relay 14 have the same structure. The opening and closing states of the first electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 4 or the second electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 6 are controlled by the first relay 13 and the second relay 14, thereby achieving pressure reduction.

[0030] The oil circuit system 2 includes a hydraulic pump 202, an oil filter 203, a relief valve 201, and an oil tank 204.

One end of the relief valve 201 is connected to the upper end of the oil pump, and the other end of the relief valve 201 is connected to the oil tank 204. The oil circuit system 2 is used to convey pressure oil into the boom control valve, thereby controlling the oil inlet or oil outlet state of the chamber of the boom cylinder 7, and further causing the hydraulic rod to retract or extend to drive the boom to retract or extend.

[0031] Usage method:

[0032] At the positions where the telescopic hydraulic cylinder is close to the maximum stroke and the minimum stroke, Hall-type proximity switches that need speed regulation recognition are installed, namely the boom extension contact switch and the boom retraction proximity switch 12. Through the boom retraction contact head 10 or the boom extension contact head 8 contacting the boom proximity induction plate 9, the boom extension contact switch or the boom retraction contact switch is opened or closed, and then the first relay 13 or the second relay 14 is opened, and then the first electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 4 or the second electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 6 is opened for speed regulation, that is, the retraction or extension state of the boom is decelerated according to the contact situation between the boom proximity induction plate 9 fixed on the hydraulic rod and the contact head;

[0033] When the stroke of the boom cylinder 7 is in the middle position, the proximity switch sends a signal to make the two normally closed proximity relays in the off state. At this time, the boom runs at a normal speed;

[0034] The slow operation of the boom is divided into two states, one is the retraction state and the other is the extension state; the boom cylinder 7 is divided into two chambers, and the end where the hydraulic rod is located is the large chamber end, and the other end is the small chamber end; the boom control valve 1 is a three-position four-way directional control valve with three valve positions;

[0035] When the boom extends outwards, the boom control valve 1 is in the left valve position, and the hydraulic oil enters from the large chamber end and flows out from the small chamber end. When the boom extension proximity switch 11 senses that the hydraulic rod enters the speed regulation stroke, the boom extension proximity switch 11 disconnects, making the second relay 14 close, making the second electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 6 energized, filling the second pilot pressure speed regulating valve 5 at the oil inlet of the large chamber end, reducing the valve port of the second pilot pressure speed regulating valve 5, reducing the oil inlet flow rate of the boom cylinder 7, and slowing down the extension movement of the boom;

[0036] When the boom continues to retract inwards, the boom control valve 1 is in the right valve position, and the hydraulic oil enters from the small chamber end and flows out from the large chamber end. When the boom retraction proximity switch 12 senses that the hydraulic rod enters the speed regulation stroke, the boom retraction proximity switch 12 disconnects, making the first relay 13 close, making the first electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve 4 energized, filling the first pilot speed regulating valve at the oil inlet of the small chamber end, reducing the valve port of the first pilot speed regulating valve, reducing the oil inlet flow rate of the boom cylinder 7, and slowing down the retraction movement of the boom.

[0037] Although the specific implementation manners of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that based on the technical solutions of the present invention, various modifications or deformations that can be made by those skilled in the art without creative efforts are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
