Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tractor power shift clutch hydraulic systems, in particular to a power shift clutch and lubrication hydraulic system. Background Art

[0002] In power-shift tractors, the hydraulic oil and lubricating oil for the shift clutch are both supplied by the same hydraulic pump. Specifically, the hydraulic pump's outlet is equipped with a clutch control shunt and a lubrication shunt. The clutch control shunt provides driving hydraulic oil for the shift clutch, while the lubrication shunt provides lubricating oil to the lubrication system of the shift clutch and other moving parts. Because the shift clutch typically requires a high pressure exceeding 20 bar, and the lubrication system requires a continuous, high flow rate, the hydraulic pump operates at a constant pressure exceeding 20 bar and a high flow rate. This results in high energy consumption, uncontrollable flow and pressure in the lubrication system, and shortens the life of the clutch oil seal. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to reduce the hydraulic energy consumption of the shift clutch and how to control the flow and pressure of the lubrication system.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows:

[0005] The utility model provides a power shift clutch and lubrication hydraulic system, comprising a power pump, a lubrication pump, a pressure regulating valve, and a lubrication pipeline. The outlet of the power pump is provided with a clutch oil pipeline, and the clutch oil pipeline is connected to the inlet of the pressure regulating valve through a branch. The outlet of the lubrication pump is connected to the lubrication regulating valve, and the first outlet of the lubrication regulating valve and the outlet of the pressure regulating valve are both connected to one end of the lubrication pipeline, and the other end of the lubrication pipeline is provided with a lubrication branch. The second outlet of the lubrication regulating valve is provided with a pressure relief pipeline.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0007] By adopting the utility model, the power pump is used to supply high-pressure and low-flow pressure oil to drive the shift clutch, and the lubrication pump supplies oil to the lubrication system, thereby avoiding continuous high-pressure and high-flow output and reducing hydraulic energy consumption; the excess pressure of the clutch oil pipeline is unloaded to the lubrication pipeline through the pressure regulating valve, and the pressure of the lubrication pipeline is regulated by the lubrication regulating valve, so that the pressure of the shift clutch and the lubrication system can be controlled, thereby extending the service life of the shift clutch and the lubrication system components and reducing energy waste.

[0008] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0009] Furthermore, a radiator is provided in the middle of the lubrication pipeline.

[0010] It is convenient to dissipate the heat of lubricating oil and extend the service life of lubrication system parts.

[0011] Furthermore, the radiator is also connected in parallel with a first one-way valve.

[0012] When the pressure difference between the two ends of the radiator increases, the oil can flow out from the first one-way valve, avoiding overpressure in the radiator.

[0013] Furthermore, the other end of the lubrication pipeline is provided with an unloading branch, the unloading branch is connected to the pressure relief pipeline, and a second one-way valve is provided on the unloading branch.

[0014] When the pressure of the lubrication pipeline is high, the second one-way valve can allow excess oil to flow from the lubrication pipeline to the pressure relief pipeline in one direction, avoiding overpressure in the lubrication system and having good sensitivity.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve is connected to its own inlet, and the other end is connected to the pressure relief pipeline; the pressure regulating valve is a normally closed valve, and the pressure difference direction at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve is opposite to the direction of its own reset elastic force.

[0016] The pressure of the clutch oil pipeline determines the pressure difference at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve. When the pressure of the clutch oil pipeline is too high, the pressure difference at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve automatically drives the valve core to move, thereby increasing the opening of the pressure regulating valve, improving sensitivity, and increasing the pressure regulation speed.

[0017] Furthermore, a pressure measuring tube is provided at one end of the lubrication pipeline close to the lubrication branch; and a pressure measuring one-way valve is provided on the pressure measuring tube.

[0018] The pressure measuring tube can be used to connect the lubrication pressure sensor to monitor the lubricating oil pressure. When the pressure is too high, the lubrication regulating valve can be operated to unload in time, which has good controllability.

[0019] Furthermore, a filter is provided at one end of the clutch oil pipeline close to the power pump.

[0020] It is convenient to filter the pressure oil output from the power pump to the clutch oil pipeline, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pressure oil.

[0021] Furthermore, the filter is also connected in parallel with a third one-way valve.

[0022] When the filter resistance increases to exceed the opening pressure of the third one-way valve, the third one-way valve opens, allowing the oil to be output to the clutch oil pipeline through the third one-way valve, thereby ensuring the oil pressure of the clutch oil pipeline and preventing the filter from failing due to overpressure, with good reliability.

[0023] Furthermore, the filter is also connected in parallel with a flood alarm, and the alarm pressure of the flood alarm is lower than the opening pressure of the third one-way valve.

[0024] When impurities accumulate in the filter and the resistance increases, the flood control alarm will sound an alarm first, prompting the user to replace the filter element in time; if the user fails to replace the filter element in time, the filter resistance will continue to increase and the third one-way valve will open; it has good reliability.

[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a clutch control solenoid valve group and a return oil pipeline, wherein the end of the clutch oil pipeline away from the power pump is connected to the pressure oil port of the clutch control solenoid valve group, and the return oil pipeline is connected to the return oil port of the clutch control solenoid valve group.

[0026] It is convenient to drive multiple shift clutches at the same time, with compact structure, easy operation and good reliability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] This utility model refers to Figure 1-2 .

[0033] The utility model provides a power shift clutch and lubrication hydraulic system, comprising a power pump 1, a lubrication pump 2, a pressure regulating valve 3, and a lubrication pipeline 6. The outlet of the power pump 1 is provided with a clutch oil pipeline 5, and the clutch oil pipeline 5 is connected to the inlet of the pressure regulating valve 3 through a branch; the outlet of the lubrication pump 2 is connected to the lubrication regulating valve 4, the first outlet of the lubrication regulating valve 4 and the outlet of the pressure regulating valve 3 are both connected to one end of the lubrication pipeline 6, and the other end of the lubrication pipeline 6 is provided with a lubrication branch 7; the second outlet of the lubrication regulating valve 4 is provided with a pressure relief pipeline 8.

[0034] principle:

[0035] When installing, if Figure 2 As shown, clutch oil line 5 connects to the clutch control solenoid valve, which connects to the shift clutch and controls its engagement and disengagement. Both the clutch control solenoid valve and the shift clutch are known technologies. Lubrication branch line 7 connects to the lubrication system for the shift clutch and other moving parts. Power pump 1 can be a high-pressure, low-flow pump, while lubrication pump 2 can be a low-pressure, high-flow pump.

[0036] During operation, power pump 1 operates at high pressure and low flow, outputting pressurized oil from power pump 1 to clutch oil line 5. This maintains the required oil pressure in clutch oil line 5 to actuate the shift clutch, ensuring the clutch control solenoid valve is ready to actuate the shift clutch at all times. If the pressure in clutch oil line 5 is too high, the opening of pressure regulating valve 3 is controlled based on the actual rated pressure of the shift clutch, allowing some oil to flow from pressure regulating valve 3 to lubrication line 6. This maintains controllable pressure in clutch oil line 5 and prevents overpressure in the shift clutch. Oil from lubrication pump 2 enters lubrication line 6 through the first outlet of lubrication regulating valve 4, where it merges with the oil from pressure regulating valve 3. The oil in lubrication line 6 is then output to the lubrication system via lubrication branch line 7. The lubrication line 6 is in a low-pressure, high-flow state. When the lubrication system pressure is too high, it means that the flow of the lubrication line 6 is too large. At this time, the lubrication regulating valve 4 can be switched to the state where the first outlet and the second outlet discharge oil at the same time. Part of the oil flows from the second outlet of the lubrication regulating valve 4 to the pressure relief line 8, which is convenient for timely adjustment of the lubrication system pressure, avoids overpressure of the lubrication system, and has sufficient time to adjust the output power of the lubrication pump 2.

[0037] Preferably, the pressure regulating valve 3 and the lubrication regulating valve 4 are both solenoid valves.

[0038] By adopting the utility model, the power pump 1 supplies high-pressure, low-flow pressure oil for driving the shift clutch, and the lubrication pump 2 supplies oil to the lubrication system, thereby avoiding continuous high-pressure, high-flow output and reducing hydraulic energy consumption; the excess pressure of the clutch oil pipeline 5 is unloaded to the lubrication pipeline 6 through the pressure regulating valve 3, and the pressure of the lubrication pipeline 6 is adjusted by the lubrication regulating valve 4, so that the pressure of the shift clutch and the lubrication system can be controlled, thereby extending the service life of the shift clutch and the lubrication system components and reducing energy waste.

[0039] Furthermore, a radiator 9 is provided in the middle of the lubrication pipeline 6 .

[0040] It is convenient to dissipate the heat of lubricating oil and extend the service life of lubrication system parts.

[0041] Furthermore, the radiator 9 is also connected in parallel with a first one-way valve 10 .

[0042] When the pressure difference between the two ends of the radiator 9 increases, the oil can flow out from the first one-way valve 10, thereby preventing the radiator 9 from being over-pressurized.

[0043] Furthermore, the other end of the lubrication pipeline 6 is provided with an unloading branch, which is connected to the pressure relief pipeline 8 and is provided with a second one-way valve 11 .

[0044] When the pressure of the lubrication pipeline 6 is relatively high, the second one-way valve 11 can allow excess oil to flow from the lubrication pipeline 6 to the pressure relief pipeline 8 in one direction, thereby avoiding overpressure in the lubrication system and having good sensitivity.

[0045] Furthermore, one end of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve 3 is connected to its own inlet, and the other end is connected to the pressure relief line 8; the pressure regulating valve 3 is a normally closed valve, and the pressure difference direction at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve 3 is opposite to the direction of its own reset elastic force.

[0046] The pressure of the clutch oil pipeline 5 determines the pressure difference at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve 3. When the pressure of the clutch oil pipeline 5 is too high, the pressure difference at both ends of the valve core of the pressure regulating valve 3 automatically drives the valve core to move, thereby increasing the opening of the pressure regulating valve 3, improving sensitivity, and increasing the pressure regulation speed.

[0047] Furthermore, a pressure measuring tube 12 is provided at one end of the lubricating pipeline 6 close to the lubricating branch 7; and a pressure measuring one-way valve is provided on the pressure measuring tube 12.

[0048] The pressure measuring tube 12 can be used to connect the lubrication pressure sensor to monitor the lubrication oil pressure. When the pressure is too high, the lubrication regulating valve 4 can be operated in time to unload, which has good controllability.

[0049] Furthermore, a filter 13 is provided at one end of the clutch oil pipeline 5 close to the power pump 1 .

[0050] It is convenient to filter the pressure oil output from the power pump 1 to the clutch oil pipeline 5, thereby improving the cleanliness of the pressure oil.

[0051] Furthermore, the filter 13 is also connected in parallel with a third one-way valve 14 .

[0052] When the resistance of the filter 13 increases to exceed the opening pressure of the third one-way valve 14, the third one-way valve 14 opens, allowing the oil to be output to the clutch oil pipeline 5 through the third one-way valve 14, thereby ensuring the oil pressure of the clutch oil pipeline 5 and preventing the filter 13 from failing due to overpressure, thereby improving reliability.

[0053] Furthermore, the filter 13 is connected in parallel with a flood alarm 15 , and the alarm pressure of the flood alarm 15 is lower than the opening pressure of the third one-way valve 14 .

[0054] When impurities accumulate in the filter 13 and the resistance increases, the flood prevention alarm 15 will sound an alarm first, prompting the user to replace the filter element of the filter 13 in time; if the user does not replace the filter element of the filter 13 in time, the resistance of the filter 13 will continue to increase, and the third one-way valve 14 will open; it has good reliability.

[0055] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown: it also includes a clutch control solenoid valve group 16 and a return oil pipeline 17. The end of the clutch oil pipeline 5 away from the power pump 1 is connected to the pressure oil port of the clutch control solenoid valve group 16, and the return oil pipeline 17 is connected to the return oil port of the clutch control solenoid valve group 16.

[0056] Note: The clutch control solenoid valve group 16 includes multiple clutch control solenoid valves. The pressure oil port of each clutch control solenoid valve is connected to the clutch oil pipeline 5, and the return oil port of the clutch control solenoid valve is connected to the return oil pipeline 17; the working interface of each clutch control solenoid valve can be used to connect different shift clutches.

[0057] It is convenient to drive multiple shift clutches at the same time, with compact structure, easy operation and good reliability.
