Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of mechanical equipment, and particularly relates to a gearbox refueling control structure. Background Art
[0002] The statements herein merely provide background art related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Construction machinery transmission fluid plays multiple roles within the transmission system, including torque transmission, cooling and lubrication, and gear control. The amount of transmission fluid significantly impacts the transmission. Excessive fluid can cause overheating due to churning losses within the internal gears. This can also affect the oil's cooling effect on the internal gears and bearings, leading to lubrication failure and excessive wear on mechanical parts. Too little fluid can lead to insufficient internal lubrication, incomplete lubrication film on component surfaces, and component sintering. Furthermore, insufficient fluid can cause insufficient torque converter pressure, resulting in low torque transmission and ultimately insufficient overall machine power.
[0004] The transmission oil level varies significantly between when the engine is turned off and when it's started. This is because the torque converter operates while the transmission cools and filters when the engine is idling. These actions can cause the transmission oil level to drop. Currently, transmission oil refilling is primarily performed during maintenance, during which the engine is turned off. Refilling according to the marked oil level presents the risk of underfilling. To address this issue, secondary refilling and overfilling are often implemented during maintenance. Secondary refilling involves initially adding a small amount of transmission oil to meet the basic requirements for starting the engine, followed by additional oil at engine idle. Overfilling involves filling the transmission oil above the level mark, then refilling or draining the oil based on the idle level mark after the engine is started.
[0005] The inventors have discovered that the above solution has problems such as the refueling amount is not accurate enough, and there is a problem of over-refueling or under-refueling. Utility Model Content

[0026] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present invention have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
[0027] As introduced in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art and to provide a transmission refueling control structure, which uses the transmission turbine speed sensor signal to feedback the actual vehicle status, directly transmits or delays the refueling stop signal, controls the delayed stop of the refueling pump, and does not solely determine the refueling amount based on the liquid level meter signal, thereby achieving accurate refueling of the transmission oil.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a transmission refueling control structure, including: a first normally open relay 1, which is connected to a normally closed relay 2 and a refueling pump 6 in sequence to control the operation of the refueling pump 6; the input end of the normally closed relay 2 is also connected to a turbine control selection relay 3, and the turbine control selection relay 3 controls the normally closed relay 2 to open the circuit according to the turbine state and the liquid level state, so that the refueling pump 6 stops working and completes refueling.
[0030] The first normally-open relay 1 is connected to the normally-closed relay 2 and the refueling pump 6 in sequence to control the operation of the refueling pump 6. Specifically, the coil input of the first normally-open relay 1 is connected to a refueling switch 5, the contact output is connected to the contact input of the normally-closed relay 2, and the contact output of the normally-closed relay 2 is connected to the refueling pump 6. During refueling, the refueling switch 5 closes, driving the first normally-open relay 1 to close and conduct, allowing current to flow through the normally-closed relay 2 to drive the refueling pump 6 to fill the transmission.
[0031] The coil input end of the normally closed relay 2 is connected to the turbine control selection relay 3, and the coil input end of the normally closed relay 2 is grounded. The output signal of the turbine control selection relay 3 controls the conduction of the coil of the normally closed relay 2, and the control contact is disconnected, so that the action circuit of the refueling pump 6 is disconnected, the gearbox refueling action is stopped, and the refueling is completed.
[0032] Turbine status includes start and stop. Turbine speed sensor 9 collects and outputs a signal from turbine speed sensor 9, which is used to determine whether engine power is input. Liquid level status includes reaching the set level and not reaching the set level. Liquid level gauge 7, located within the gearbox, collects and outputs a signal from liquid level gauge 7, which is used to determine whether the oil level within the gearbox has reached the set level. Turbine control selector relay 3 is a selector relay driven by the turbine speed sensor signal and the liquid level gauge signal. Its contact input is connected to liquid level gauge 7, and its two contact outputs are a normally closed contact output and a normally open contact input. The normally open contact output is directly connected to the coil input of normally closed relay 2, while the normally closed contact output is connected to a time relay and then to the coil input of normally closed relay 2. The time relay selector 8 is a power-on delay time relay. An AND gate circuit is set at the coil input end of the turbine control selection relay 3. The two input ends of the AND gate circuit are respectively connected to the liquid level meter and the turbine sensor, and the output end is connected to the turbine control selection relay coil input end. When the turbine sensor signal and the liquid level meter signal exist at the same time, the contact switch of the turbine control selection relay 3 is switched from the normally closed contact to the normally open contact.
[0033] During the refueling pump 6's transmission refueling process, the liquid level gauge 7 generates a signal change. Once the oil reaches a predetermined level, the liquid level gauge 7 provides feedback. This signal is affected by the turbine speed. When there's no turbine speed sensor signal, the engine is shut down. In this state, the transmission oil is stagnant, requiring overfilling. Therefore, the liquid level gauge signal is passed through a time-delayed energizing device to facilitate overfilling while the engine is off. When the turbine speed sensor signals in, the engine is started, and the transmission oil is circulating. The oil level in this state can be used as the normal operating level for the transmission. Therefore, meeting the oil level gauge's requirements in this state is considered sufficient for refueling under normal operation. Therefore, an AND gate circuit is provided at the coil input of the turbine control selector relay 3. When both the turbine sensor signal and the liquid level gauge signal are present, the control contact switch switches from normally closed to normally open, transmitting the liquid level gauge signal directly through the normally open contact circuit to the normally closed relay 2, disconnecting the refueling pump 6's operating circuit, stopping the transmission refueling operation, and completing refueling. Through this refueling control structure, over-refueling can be achieved when the engine is stopped, and accurate refueling can be performed according to the idle oil level mark after the engine is started, thereby accurately controlling the oil level, ensuring the accuracy of the refueling amount, and avoiding the problems of over-refueling or under-refueling.
[0034] Turbine control select relay 3 is also connected to second normally open relay 4 to control the operation of second normally open relay 4. Specifically, the coil input end of second normally open relay 4 is connected to the contact output end of turbine control select relay 3, and the coil terminal of second normally open relay 4 is connected to display meter 10, which feeds back the refueling completion signal.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] In the solution of embodiment 1, the precise control of the refueling amount is achieved by adjusting the refueling signal fed back by the liquid level meter 7. This embodiment discloses another transmission refueling control structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, it is possible to achieve precise control of the refueling amount by directly controlling the state of the refueling pump 6 .
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, unlike the structure of Example 1, this embodiment places turbine control selection relay 3 between normally closed relay 2 and fuel pump 6. The contact output of normally closed relay 2 is connected to the contact input of turbine control selection relay 3, which in turn is connected to fuel pump 6. The normally closed contact output of turbine control selection relay 3 is connected to power-on delay relay 8 and then to fuel pump 6, while the normally open contact output is directly connected to fuel pump 6. In this embodiment, the coil input of the normally closed relay is connected to liquid level gauge 7 to receive its signal, and the liquid level gauge 7 is also connected to the coil input of a second normally open relay.
[0038] When the refueling switch 5 is closed for refueling, if the turbine speed sensor 9 has no signal, the refueling pump 6 will start with a delay. When the liquid level gauge 7 feeds back a liquid level gauge signal, the normally closed relay control contact is disconnected. After the power-on delay time relay 8 realizes a delayed stop, thereby achieving over-refueling of the gearbox. If the turbine speed sensor 9 has a signal, the refueling pump 6 will start immediately. When the liquid level gauge 7 feeds back a liquid level gauge signal, the normally closed relay control contact is disconnected, and the refueling pump 6 will stop working immediately, thereby achieving accurate refueling.
[0039] This utility model provides a transmission refueling control structure that uses the transmission turbine speed sensor's signal to provide feedback on the actual vehicle status. This, in turn, coordinates with the liquid level gauge signal to control the refueling pump's delayed stop. This eliminates the need to rely solely on the liquid level gauge signal to determine refueling volume, thus achieving precise transmission oil refueling. Furthermore, by varying the model of the power-on delay switch and the displacement of the refueling pump (6), the system can be applied to a wide range of engineering machinery using transmissions.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
