When in the second valve position, the oil inlet B is communicated with the third working oil port B2, and the oil return port A is communicated with the fourth working oil port A2;

[0041] A first hydraulic lock 2, arranged on the valve body of the two-position six-way valve 1, and having a first oil inlet passage 21 and a first oil outlet passage 22.

[0042] The second hydraulic lock 3 is arranged on the valve body of the two-position six-way valve 1, and has a second oil inlet channel 31 and a second oil outlet channel 32. The oil inlet end of the second oil inlet channel 31 is directly connected to the third working oil port B2, and the oil outlet end of the second oil outlet channel 32 is directly connected to the fourth working oil port A2.

[0043] The switching control valve group of the present embodiment can be applied to the hydraulic system of agricultural machinery.

The first hydraulic lock 2 is connected to the original actuator, specifically, the original actuator is connected to the oil outlet end of the first oil inlet channel 21 and the oil inlet end of the first oil outlet channel 22. When the agricultural machinery needs to add a new actuator, the new actuator is connected to the second hydraulic lock 3, specifically, the new actuator is connected to the oil outlet end of the second oil inlet channel 31 and the oil inlet end of the second oil outlet channel 32. In this way, the new actuator can be connected to the hydraulic system of the agricultural machinery. With this arrangement, there is no need to add more hydraulic pipelines and redesign the hydraulic pipeline layout of the hydraulic system.

In addition, the switching control valve group is integrated with a two-position six-way valve 1, a first hydraulic lock 2 and a second hydraulic lock 3. The overall structure is compact and has strong versatility. Moreover, the first hydraulic lock 2 and the second hydraulic lock 3 have the characteristic of being able to lock the circuit hydraulic oil, so that the switching control valve group can be used in situations where the actuator needs to maintain pressure. For example, through the locking effect of the first hydraulic lock 2 and the second hydraulic lock 3, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder can be maintained in a predetermined extended position.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first hydraulic lock 2 is a one-way hydraulic lock. When the first oil inlet channel 21 is filled with oil, the first oil outlet channel 22 is connected. When the first oil inlet channel 21 stops filling with oil, the first oil outlet channel 22 is blocked.

[0045] The second hydraulic lock 3 is a one-way hydraulic lock. When the second oil inlet channel 31 is supplied with oil, the second oil outlet channel 32 is connected. When the second oil inlet channel 31 stops supplying oil, the second oil outlet channel 32 is blocked.

[0046] It can be understood that the switching control valve group of this embodiment is suitable for an actuator that needs to lock the hydraulic oil output side during operation.

[0047] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the first hydraulic lock 2 and the second hydraulic lock 3 are both single hydraulic controlled one-way valves. The structure and working principle of the single hydraulic controlled one-way valve are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described here.

[0048] In one embodiment, the first hydraulic lock 2 is a bidirectional hydraulic lock. When the first oil inlet channel 21 is filled with oil, the first oil outlet channel 22 is connected. When the first oil inlet channel 21 stops filling with oil, both the first oil inlet channel 21 and the first oil outlet channel 22 are closed.

[0049] The second hydraulic lock 3 is a one-way hydraulic lock. When the second oil inlet channel 31 is filled with oil, the second oil outlet channel 32 is connected. When the second oil inlet channel 31 stops filling with oil, both the second oil inlet channel 31 and the second oil outlet channel 32 are blocked.

[0050] It can be understood that the switching control valve group of this embodiment is suitable for an actuator that needs to lock the input side and the output side of the hydraulic oil during operation.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first hydraulic lock 2 is a double hydraulically controlled one-way valve. The structure and working principle of the double hydraulically controlled one-way valve are well known to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the valve body of the two-position six-way valve 1 has a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to each other, the first working oil port B1 and the second working oil port A1 are both arranged on the first side surface, the third working oil port B2 and the fourth working oil port A2 are both arranged on the second side surface, the first hydraulic lock 2 is arranged on the first side surface, and the second hydraulic lock 3 is arranged on the second side surface. In this way, the first hydraulic lock 2 and the second hydraulic lock 3 are separated by a large space to avoid mutual interference between the pipelines connected to the actuators.

[0053] Of course, in some other embodiments, the arrangement of the first working oil port B1, the second working oil port A1, the third working oil port B2 and the fourth working oil port A2 is not limited thereto and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0054] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 2 As shown, sealing rings are respectively provided at the connection between the first hydraulic lock 2 and the valve body of the two-position six-way valve 1 and at the connection between the second hydraulic lock 3 and the valve body of the two-position six-way valve 1. Such a configuration effectively improves the hydraulic oil sealing of the switching control valve group and avoids oil leakage.

[0055] In one embodiment, the switching control valve group is an integral casting structure, which is formed by casting. Compared with a conventional plate-type valve group, it has a smaller size and a lower manufacturing cost.

[0056] Of course, in some other embodiments, the switching control valve group can also be formed by machining.

[0057] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown, the two-position six-way valve 1 is a solenoid valve. When energized, it switches to the first valve position, and when de-energized, it switches to the second valve position. With such a setting, in actual application, the operator can control the two-position six-way valve 1 to switch between the first valve position and the second valve position through the controller, so as to control the switching connection of the agricultural machinery between the original actuator and the newly added actuator.
