[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 and2 As shown, the hydraulic dual-circuit trailer control valve with preloading function of this embodiment includes a valve body, a three-position two-way valve 1 and a control valve 2 are arranged in the valve body, and the two ends of the valve core movement direction of the three-position two-way valve 1 respectively form a non-spring side cavity and a spring side cavity equipped with a spring, and the valve body is provided with a first air port a connected to the non-spring side cavity of the three-position two-way valve 1, and the control valve 2 is provided with a first interface b, a second interface c and a third interface d, and when the valve core in the control valve 2 moves, the third interface is selectively connected to the first interface or the second interface, and the valve body is provided with a first air port a connected to the non-spring side cavity of the three-position two-way valve 1, and the second interface is connected to the third interface. The inlet of the two-way valve 1 is connected to the air inlet e, the outlet f of the above-mentioned three-position two-way valve 1 is connected to the above-mentioned first interface, the above-mentioned valve body is provided with a control port 22 connected to the above-mentioned third interface, and the two ends of the valve core movement direction of the above-mentioned control valve 2 respectively form a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber, and the above-mentioned first pressure chamber is provided with a first hydraulic chamber and a preload chamber that are independent of each other, the above-mentioned valve body is provided with a brake oil port g connected to the above-mentioned first hydraulic chamber, the above-mentioned valve body is provided with an internal air cut-off port h connected to the above-mentioned preload chamber, the above-mentioned control port 22 is connected to the above-mentioned second pressure chamber, and the above-mentioned valve body is provided with an air supply port 21 connected to the above-mentioned first interface.

[0025] In the hydraulic dual-circuit trailer control valve with preload function of this embodiment, the brake oil port is connected to the oil circuit of the tractor's brake pedal, the air inlet of the valve body is connected to the internal air supply pipeline of the tractor, the internal air shut-off port is connected to the internal air supply pipeline of the tractor, the first air port is also connected to the internal air supply pipeline of the tractor, and the control port 22 and the air supply port 21 are respectively connected to the air circuit of the trailer. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0026] When driving, the spool of the three-position, two-way valve 1 is at the end away from the spring-side chamber (in this embodiment, it is assumed that the spool of the three-position, two-way valve 1 is in the left position), and the air inlet e is always connected to the air supply port 21. When the foot pedal is pressed, oil flows into the brake oil port g into the first hydraulic chamber, pushing the spool of the control valve 2 to move (to the right). Simultaneously, the internal air shut-off port h is connected, and air enters the preload chamber for preloading. At this time, the air path flows from the air inlet e to the control port 22. The control port 22 is connected to the air source, and the trailer brakes. Simultaneously, the air flow from the control port 22 is diverted to the second pressure chamber. Simultaneously, the air inlet of the first air port pushes the spool of the three-position, two-way valve 1 to move (to the right), reducing the amount of air entering the three-position, two-way valve 1. When the foot pedal is released, the air in the second pressure chamber pushes the spool of the control valve 2 to move (to the left) and reset, and exhaust is exhausted through the second port c. When parking, apply the parking brake, disconnecting brake oil port g. The air flow is from air inlet e to control port 22. Control port 22 is connected to the air source, and the trailer brakes are applied. The overall structural design is simple and rational, enabling dual-circuit trailer preloading, ensuring consistency between the main and trailer brakes, and significantly improving braking safety.

[0027] It should be noted that: since the hydraulic dual-circuit trailer control valve with preloading function in this embodiment is provided with a control port 22 and an air supply port 21, both of which supply air to the trailer, if any of these two ports fails, a signal can be fed back to the control system, thereby greatly improving the safety factor.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the first air port is connected to the internal shut-off port through a flow channel. The air source of the first air port comes from the internal shut-off port h, and the air is divided into the preload chamber and the non-spring side chamber of the three-position two-way valve 1, respectively, making the air path layout more concise.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, the second pressure chamber is provided with a second hydraulic chamber and an air chamber which are independent of each other, the control port 22 is connected with the air chamber, and the valve body is provided with a hydraulic handbrake oil port m which is connected with the second hydraulic chamber.

[0030] In the above embodiment, when no braking is performed, the valve core of the control valve 2 is in the left position, the air supply port 21 supplies air normally, and the brake hydraulic oil of the parking brake will enter the second hydraulic chamber, acting on the valve core of the control valve 2 to force it to the left position, and the valve core always remains in the left position. When the brake pedal is stepped on, the valve core of the control valve 2 moves to the right position and overcomes the force of the brake hydraulic oil of the parking brake on the valve core. The air supply port 21 and the control port 22 are both connected. When the handbrake is pulled up, the hydraulic handbrake oil port m disconnects the oil supply.

[0031] In this embodiment, two first hydraulic chambers are provided in parallel, and two brake oil ports are provided, one for the left brake oil port and one for the right brake oil port. The left brake oil port and the right brake oil port are connected to the two first hydraulic chambers in a one-to-one correspondence. The two brake oil ports correspond to the left and right brake pedals, respectively, enabling flexible control.

[0032] In this embodiment, the spring-side chamber of the three-position, two-way valve 1 communicates with the air inlet of the valve body. The third port communicates with the non-spring-side chamber of the three-position, two-way valve 1. These two pressures maintain equilibrium when the air inlet e, the control port 22, remains open, ensuring that the valve core of the three-position, two-way valve 1 is in the left position.

[0033] In this embodiment, the valve body is provided with an exhaust port n, which is communicated with the second interface. When the valve core of the control valve 2 is in the left position, air is exhausted smoothly through the exhaust port.

[0034] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor is connected to the air supply port 21. The pressure sensor monitors the pressure information at the air supply port 21 in real time and feeds it back to the control system.

[0035] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor is connected to the control port 22. The pressure sensor monitors the pressure information at the control port 22 in real time and feeds back to the control system.
