[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 、 2 、3, 4, and 5, the suspension front axle hydraulic system for tractors in this embodiment includes a suspension cylinder 1, a large chamber inlet pipeline 2, a small chamber inlet pipeline 3, a large chamber return pipeline 4, and a small chamber return pipeline 5. One end of the above-mentioned large chamber inlet pipeline 2 is connected to the large chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the pump. The inlet of the above-mentioned pump is connected to the fuel tank. One end of the above-mentioned small chamber inlet pipeline 3 is connected to the small chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1, and the other end is connected to the outlet of the pump. One end of the above-mentioned large chamber return pipeline 4 is connected to the fuel tank, and the other end is connected to the large chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1. One end of the above-mentioned small chamber return pipeline 5 is connected to the fuel tank, and the other end is connected to the small chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1. The large chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1 is connected to the first accumulator 6, and the small chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1 is connected to the second accumulator 7. A lift valve 21 is provided on the above-mentioned large chamber inlet pipeline 2, a booster valve 31 is provided on the above-mentioned small chamber inlet pipeline 3, a lowering valve 41 is provided on the above-mentioned large chamber return pipeline 4, and a pressure reducing valve 51 is provided on the above-mentioned small chamber return pipeline 5. The above-mentioned large chamber inlet pipeline 2 and the small chamber inlet pipeline 3 are respectively connected to the inlet of the shuttle valve 8 through pipelines, and the outlet of the shuttle valve 8 is connected to the LS control port of the pump through a pipeline.

[0029] The specific process of using the suspension front axle hydraulic system for tractors in this embodiment is as follows:

[0030] Automatic mode: In the automatic mode, the system can automatically adjust the height of the front axle and the pressure of the suspension cylinder 1 according to the tractor load and road conditions. When the suspension cylinder 1 exceeds its stroke position by 50% (+ / -5%), the control system will adjust the pressure of the large and small chambers of the suspension cylinder 1 and perform the suspension control function. Specific implementation process: When the automatic mode switch is pressed or the vehicle speed exceeds a specific value, the suspension cylinder 1, the first accumulator 6, and the second accumulator 7 jointly perform the suspension control function. When the suspension requires oil replenishment, the accumulator supplies oil (the large chamber is replenished by the first accumulator 6, and the small chamber is replenished by the second accumulator 7, and the lift valve 21 and the booster valve 31 are both de-energized and open). When the oil in the suspension cylinder 1 is discharged, the accumulator absorbs the oil (the first accumulator 6 absorbs the oil discharged from the large chamber, and the second accumulator 7 absorbs the oil discharged from the small chamber). After the system has been stable for a certain period of time, if the system detects the pressure in the large chamber of the suspension cylinder 1, the lift valve 21 is energized at this time to make the large chamber inlet pipeline 2 unblocked, and the pressure oil will enter the large chamber of the suspension cylinder 1, so that the front axle height is stabilized at 50% (+ / -5%) of the cylinder stroke position.

[0031] Manual mode: In the manual mode, the system can adjust the height of the front axle according to the user's needs. Specific implementation process: When it is necessary to raise the height of the front axle, the lift valve 21 can be controlled to be energized, and the oil enters the large chamber inlet pipeline 2 through the pump (that is, the P port in the figure), and enters the large chamber of the suspension cylinder 1 through the lift valve 21, thereby realizing the increase in the front axle height (as Figure 2 shown). When it is necessary to lower the height of the front axle, the lowering valve 41 can be controlled to be energized, and the oil in the large chamber flows back into the fuel tank (as Figure 3 shown).

[0032] Of course, the height and stiffness of the suspension bridge can also be adjusted by pressurizing or decompressing the small chamber. Specifically, during pressurization (as Figure 4 shown), the oil enters the small chamber inlet pipeline 3 through the P port, and then enters the small chamber of the suspension cylinder 1, thereby realizing the lowering of the front axle height. The pipeline where the shuttle valve 8 is located continuously feeds back the small chamber pressure information. During this process, the load pressure in the small chamber is fed back to the pump through the shuttle valve 8 and the pipeline, and the pressure and flow can be adjusted adaptively according to the load. At the same time, this process is also for... During decompression (as Figure 5 shown), the pressure reducing valve 51 is energized, and the oil in the small chamber returns to the fuel tank through the small chamber return pipeline 5.

[0033] Overall, the structural design is simple and reasonable, and it can adjust the height and stiffness of the suspended front axle according to the load of the tractor's front axle. At the same time, the lift valve, lowering valve, booster valve, and pressure reducing valve are respectively set, and the control is relatively convenient and the stability is high.

[0034] It should be supplemented and explained that: Figures 1-5 The thick black lines refer to partially unblocked hydraulic routes.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, two of the above-mentioned suspension cylinders 1 are provided. One end of the large chamber oil inlet pipeline 2 is respectively connected to the large chamber interfaces of the two suspension cylinders 1, one end of the small chamber oil inlet pipeline 3 is respectively connected to the small chamber interfaces of the two suspension cylinders 1, the other end of the large chamber oil return pipeline 4 is respectively connected to the large chamber interfaces of the two suspension cylinders 1, and the other end of the small chamber oil return pipeline 5 is respectively connected to the small chamber interfaces of the two suspension cylinders 1.

[0036] In the above-mentioned implementation scheme, two suspension cylinders 1 are adopted, and the double cylinders realize the stable lifting of the front axle.

[0037] In this embodiment, one of the above-mentioned second accumulators 7 is provided and is respectively connected to the small chamber interfaces of the two suspension cylinders 1 through pipelines. The two cylinders share one second accumulator 7, which simplifies the structural design and makes it more compact.

[0038] In this embodiment, a pressure monitor 71 is provided at the connection between the second accumulator 7 and the pipeline. The pressure change of the second accumulator 7 and the pipeline is monitored in real time through the pressure monitor 71 to ensure effective monitoring of this hydraulic circuit.

[0039] In this embodiment, a first filter 22 is provided on the large chamber oil inlet pipeline 2, a second filter 32 is provided on the small chamber oil inlet pipeline 3, a third filter 42 is provided on the large chamber oil return pipeline 4, and a fourth filter 52 is provided on the small chamber oil return pipeline 5. Filters are provided on each main pipeline, which can effectively filter impurities in the oil and avoid damage to components caused by impurities.

[0040] In this embodiment, throttle valves are respectively provided on the large chamber oil inlet pipeline 2, the small chamber oil inlet pipeline 3, the large chamber oil return pipeline 4 and the small chamber oil return pipeline 5.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the large chamber interface of the above-mentioned suspension cylinder 1 is also connected to the fuel tank through an overflow pipe, and an overflow valve 9 is provided on the overflow pipe.

[0042] In the above-mentioned implementation scheme, when the load in the large chamber of the suspension cylinder 1 exceeds the spring pressure of the overflow valve 9, the oil in the large chamber will flow back to the fuel tank through the overflow valve 9, thereby protecting the system components.

[0043] In this embodiment, check valves are respectively provided on the large chamber oil inlet pipeline 2, the small chamber oil inlet pipeline 3, the large chamber oil return pipeline 4 and the small chamber oil return pipeline 5. The design of the check valve limits the flow direction of the oil in the pipeline where it is located and avoids reverse flow.

[0044] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned pump adopts a variable pump of a suitable model.
