[0026] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the differential control system for the oil cylinder of the present invention includes: a valve block, a hydraulic pump 4, and an electromagnetic reversing valve 5. The valve block is mounted on the oil cylinder and is equipped with a balancing valve 1, a first non-return valve 2, and a hydraulically controlled non-return valve 3. The hydraulic pump 4 is used to provide a power source for the telescopic movement of the oil cylinder. The electromagnetic reversing valve 5 is connected to the hydraulic pump 4. Among them, the first port of the balancing valve 1 is connected to the rod chamber of the oil cylinder, the second port of the balancing valve 1 is connected to the rodless chamber of the oil cylinder, the third port of the balancing valve 1 is a pilot port, the fourth port of the balancing valve 1 is connected to the inlet of the first non-return valve 2, and the outlet of the first non-return valve 2 is connected to the rod chamber of the oil cylinder. One end of the hydraulically controlled non-return valve 3 is connected to the oil tank, and the other end of the hydraulically controlled non-return valve 3 is connected to the rodless chamber of the oil cylinder.

[0027] That is to say, the utility model adopts a four-port balancing valve 1, a first one-way valve 2 and a hydraulically controlled one-way valve 3 to cooperate with each other to realize differential control. No electrical components are involved, and it can be used together with the oil cylinder in an underwater environment. The four-port balancing valve 1 allows the oil to flow freely from the second port to the first port. With the assistance of the pilot, the oil can flow from the first port to the second port. The third port is the pilot port, and the fourth port can return oil separately. The electromagnetic reversing valve 5 (not installed on the oil cylinder and will not enter underwater) is used to change the direction of oil flow, and the hydraulic pump 4 is connected to the oil tank to provide hydraulic power. The utility model realizes differential through structural improvement and adopts a pure hydraulic control method, which can be suitable for use in underwater environments. For the rapid retraction of the oil cylinder with a large area ratio, the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 3 can share part of the flow, which is conducive to reducing the specifications of the electromagnetic reversing valve 5 and saving costs.

[0028] Specifically, the differential control system also includes a pressure reducing valve 6, a proportional relief valve 7, and an accumulator 10. The first port of the pressure reducing valve 6 is connected to the electromagnetic reversing valve 5, the second port of the pressure reducing valve 6 is connected to the hydraulic pump 4, the third port of the pressure reducing valve 6 is connected to the oil tank, the proportional relief valve 7 is connected to the fourth port of the pressure reducing valve 6, the proportional relief valve 7 is connected to the oil tank, and the accumulator 10 is connected to the second port of the pressure reducing valve 6. When the cylinder is operating normally and stopped at a certain intermediate position, a certain pressure needs to be maintained. In this case, the pressure reducing valve 6 can adjust the cylinder pressure to a fixed value. The pilot port (i.e., the fourth port) of the pressure reducing valve 6 is connected to the proportional relief valve 7. Due to different working media, the required tension of the cylinder varies. In this case, the proportional relief valve 7 can be used to adjust the appropriate pressure. When the cylinder pressure is high, oil can be drained through the third port of the pressure reducing valve 6. When the cylinder pressure is low, the accumulator 10 can be used to replenish the pressure. The combination of the pressure reducing valve 6 and the proportional relief valve 7 can achieve constant tension control of the cylinder.

[0029] The differential control system further includes a third relief valve 12, a first port of which is connected to the inlet of the second one-way valve 11, and a second port of which is connected to the oil tank. When the output pressure of the hydraulic pump 4 is too high, oil can be drained through the third relief valve 12.

[0030] The valve block also houses a first relief valve 8 and a second relief valve 9. The first port of the first relief valve 8 is connected to the rod chamber of the cylinder, while the second port is connected to the rodless chamber. The first port of the second relief valve 9 is connected to the rodless chamber of the cylinder, while the second port is connected to the rod chamber of the cylinder. The first relief valve 8 limits the maximum pressure in the rod chamber of the cylinder, while the second relief valve 9 limits the maximum pressure in the rodless chamber of the cylinder, thus protecting the cylinder.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] During differential cylinder extension: Y2 of solenoid directional valve 5 is energized in the parallel position (P to A), allowing oil to enter the rodless chamber of the cylinder. Simultaneously, pressure builds up at the third port of counterbalance valve 1. Due to the area ratio between the third port and the first port of counterbalance valve 1, the third port can be opened at very low pressure, causing the cylinder to extend. The oil in the rod chamber of the cylinder cannot flow back to the tank due to the action of first check valve 2. Instead, it flows through counterbalance valve 1 to the rodless chamber, achieving differential cylinder extension.

[0033] When the cylinder retracts quickly: Y1 of the electromagnetic reversing valve 5 is energized and in the cross position (P to B), the oil can enter the rod chamber of the cylinder through the first one-way valve 2. Since the pressure setting value of the balancing valve 1 is high, under low pressure conditions, the third port of the balancing valve 1 cannot be opened, and the oil cannot flow into the rodless chamber through the balancing valve 1, and the cylinder retracts.

[0034] In summary, the differential control system of the present invention adopts a four-port balancing valve 1, a first one-way valve 2 and a hydraulically controlled one-way valve 3 to cooperate with each other to realize differential control. No electrical components are involved, and it can be used together with the oil cylinder in an underwater environment. The four-port balancing valve 1 allows the oil to flow freely from the second port to the first port. With the assistance of the pilot, the oil can flow from the first port to the second port. The third port is the pilot port, and the fourth port can return oil separately. The electromagnetic reversing valve 5 is used to change the flow direction of the oil, and the hydraulic pump 4 is connected to the oil tank to provide hydraulic power. The present invention realizes differential by means of pure hydraulic control through structural improvement, and can be suitable for use in underwater environments. For the rapid retraction of the oil cylinder with a large area ratio, the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 3 can share part of the flow, which is conducive to reducing the specifications of the electromagnetic reversing valve 5 and saving costs.

[0035] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and in accordance with the above description, relevant personnel are fully capable of making various changes and modifications without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
