[0005] Therefore, how to provide a valve core of a hydraulic valve to reduce the flow change when the valve core is small and alleviate the impact of the hydraulic force on the valve core during the startup process is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by skilled technicians.

[0034] The utility model discloses a valve core of a hydraulic valve, which reduces flow rate variation when the valve core is slightly opened, thereby alleviating the impact of hydraulic force on the valve core during startup. In addition, the utility model also discloses a hydraulic valve having the valve core and a hydraulic control system having the hydraulic valve.
[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0036] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the quantity of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.
[0037] Directional valves are widely used as hydraulic components that control the opening and closing of oil circuits and the direction of reversing. When a directional valve is in operation, the valve core slides within the valve body, achieving the valve core reversal, connecting or closing different oil ports.
[0038] The working characteristics of the hydraulic control system depend to a large extent on the cylindrical slide valve, and the shape of the throttle groove of the cylindrical slide valve determines the flow control performance of the hydraulic cylindrical slide valve.
[0039] At present, there are many shapes of throttle grooves. However, the current throttle groove shapes will result in poor flow curve characteristics through the reversing valve during the startup of the hydraulic control system. That is, the flow has a large slope change when the valve core is slightly opened, resulting in a large flow through the reversing valve during the startup of the hydraulic control system, causing the hydraulic force to impact the valve core, affecting the operator's experience; in addition, the current flow curve characteristics through the reversing valve will have inflection points at certain positions during the movement of the valve core, reducing the efficiency of the overall machine debugging and resulting in increased overall machine costs.
[0040] Based on the above technical problems, this application discloses a valve core of a hydraulic valve, which sets the shape of the throttle valve to reduce the flow change when the valve core is small, thereby alleviating the problem of the impact of the hydraulic force on the valve core during the startup process.
[0041] The hydraulic valves in this application include but are not limited to reversing valves. Any valve that requires the valve core to move to achieve liquid conduction is within the scope of protection. This application uses the reversing valve as an example for explanation. Other valve structures can be found in the following description.
[0042] Specific, combined Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hydraulic valve disclosed in the embodiment of the present application includes a valve body 1 and a valve core 2.
[0043] The valve body 1 includes but is not limited to a rectangular shell, with a first oil outlet 12 and a second oil outlet 13 on one side of the valve body 1, and an oil inlet 11 on the other side of the valve body 1. The valve core 2 is located in the middle of the valve body 1, and the valve core 2 can move in the valve body 1 in the axial direction of the valve core 2. It should be noted that the position of the valve body 1 used to set the valve core 2 is a slide (not marked in the figure), that is, the valve core 2 moves in the slide, and the first oil outlet 12, the second oil outlet 13 and the oil inlet 11 are all channels set by the valve core 2 on both sides of the slide in the radial direction. When the valve core 2 is not set in the valve body 1, the first oil outlet 12, the second oil outlet 13 and the oil inlet 11 are all connected to the slide; after the valve core 2 is set in the valve body 1, the valve core 2 is in sealing contact with the wall of the slide, which can achieve the blocking of the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13. However, as the valve core 2 moves, the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13 can be communicated with the oil inlet 11 respectively.
[0044] The following Figure 3 Taking the direction in FIG. 1 as an example, the manner of switching the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13 to be connected to the oil inlet during the movement of the valve core 2 is described.
[0045] along Figure 3 Pushing the valve core 2 to the right can connect the oil inlet 11 with the second oil outlet 13 , and pushing the valve core 2 to the left can connect the oil inlet 11 with the first oil outlet 12 .
[0046] For the communication between the oil inlet 11 and the first oil outlet 12 and between the oil inlet 11 and the second oil outlet 13, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The throttle groove on the valve core 2 shown in FIG.
[0047] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The valve core 2 includes a valve core main body section 22 and a shoulder closed end 21.
[0048] The shoulder-enclosed end 21 is coaxially connected to the valve core main section 22. Optionally, the shoulder-enclosed end 21 and the valve core main section 22 are integrally formed. The circumferential surface of the shoulder-enclosed end 21 is configured to form a seal with the wall surface of the slideway of the hydraulic valve body 1, thereby sealing the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13. Specifically, the diameter of the shoulder-enclosed end 21 is larger than the diameter of the valve core main section 22. The diameter of the shoulder-enclosed end 21 only needs to match the slideway of the valve body 1. The corresponding diameter of the valve core main section 22 can be set according to different needs and is not specifically limited here.
[0049] The shoulder closed end 21 has a throttling groove 211 and a baffle 212 .
[0050] The throttling groove 211 is a triangular groove arranged axially along the closed shoulder end 21, with the bottom of the triangular groove along the axial direction being the vertex of the triangle. The throttling groove 211 extends radially along the closed shoulder end 21 until it is flush with the surface of the valve core main section 22. This can be understood as: the throttling groove 211 is a triangular groove excavated radially at the step formed by the cylindrical closed shoulder end 21 and the valve core main section 22.
[0051] Due to the provision of the throttle grooves 211, baffles 212 are formed between adjacent throttle grooves 211 on the closed end 21 of the shoulder. In the present application, an axially extending groove is excavated between the baffles 212 and the valve core main section 22. That is, a communication gap 213 is formed between the side of the baffle 212 radially close to the valve core main section 22 and the valve core main section 22. The communication gap 213 is connected to the throttle grooves 211, thereby forming a circumferential flow space.
[0052] Combine Figures 3 to 5 As shown, after the valve core 2 is installed in the valve body 1, the shoulder closed end 21 is in contact with the circumferential inner wall of the slideway of the valve body 1, thereby blocking the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13. The valve core main section 22 is connected to the oil inlet 11. After the oil enters the oil inlet 11 and flows through the throttle groove 211 and the communication gap 213, it flows out through the throttle groove 211 of the shoulder closed end 21.
[0053] It can be understood that, in the initial state of the hydraulic valve, the throttle groove 211 is located between the oil outlet and the oil inlet in the axial direction of the valve core 2 .
[0054] In combination with the above-mentioned configuration, it can be seen that the valve core 2 of the hydraulic valve in the present application adopts a triangular throttling groove 211. During the movement of the valve core 2, the top corner of the throttling groove 211 first faces the oil outlet (the first oil outlet 12 or the second oil outlet 13), that is, the small opening of the throttling groove 211 is connected to the oil outlet, thereby achieving a small flow rate when the valve core is slightly opened. In addition, during the continuous movement of the valve core 2, the area of the triangular throttling groove 211 relative to the oil outlet gradually increases, and the area change at the top corner of the triangle is very small, thereby avoiding the startup shock problem caused by excessively rapid flow changes in the initial startup of the hydraulic control system. In addition, in the present application, a connecting gap 213 is set between the baffle 212 and the valve core main section 22, and the connecting gap 213 is connected to the throttling groove 211. The connecting gap 213 can be used to reduce the pressure of the oil rushing in from the oil inlet 11, thereby further reducing the startup shock problem.
[0055] from Figure 4 It can be seen that there is space between the baffle 212 and the valve core main section 22 in the radial direction, and the volume of the connecting gap 213 gradually increases along the first direction. Specifically, the first direction is defined in this application as the direction from the axial bottom of the throttling groove 211 to the groove mouth.
[0056] In this application, the volume of the baffle communication gap 213 is configured to gradually increase along the first direction. This can be understood as gradually decreasing the volume of the communication gap 213 in the axial direction of the valve core 2 from the oil inlet 11 toward the first oil outlet 12. This allows the oil rushing in from the oil inlet 11 to be quickly buffered, which helps to reduce the impact force of the oil, that is, reduce the hydraulic force. In addition, during the movement of the valve core 2, the oil at the small volume end enters the oil outlet through the throttle groove 211, which can reduce the flow rate when the valve core is at a small opening. As the valve core 2 moves, the area of the triangular throttle groove 211 relative to the oil outlet gradually increases, avoiding the startup shock problem caused by excessively rapid flow changes during the initial startup of the hydraulic control system.
[0057] In some embodiments, to achieve volume changes in the communication gap 213, a side surface of the baffle 212 radially proximal to the valve core main section 22 is configured as an inclined arc surface, with the inclined arc surface being inclined such that, along a first direction, the inclined arc surface gradually moves away from the valve core main section 22. It can be understood that the distance between the first end of the baffle 212 and the valve core main section 22 is greater than the distance between the second end of the baffle 212 and the valve core main section 22. The first end of the baffle 212 is located on the same side as the notch of the throttling groove 211, and the second end of the baffle 212 is located on the same side as the bottom of the throttling groove 211.
[0058] To achieve an inclined arcuate surface on the side of the communication baffle 212 radially proximate to the valve core main section 22, in some embodiments, the baffle 212 can have a variable radial thickness. Specifically, the outer surface of the baffle 212 is a circular arc surface that aligns with the circumferential surface of the slideway, and the thickness of the baffle 212 gradually decreases along a first direction in the radial direction, thereby forming an inclined arcuate surface on the side of the baffle 212 proximate to the valve core main section 22.
[0059] In some embodiments, two closed shoulder ends 21 are symmetrically arranged about the valve core main section 22. Each closed shoulder end 21 corresponds to an oil outlet. When the hydraulic valve is not in operation, the two closed shoulder ends 21 are located between the first oil outlet 12 and the second oil outlet 13. As the valve core 2 moves, the throttle grooves 211 on the closed shoulder ends 21 communicate with the corresponding oil outlets.
[0060] In some embodiments, there are multiple throttling grooves 211 on the shoulder closed end 21 , and the throttling grooves 211 are distributed along the circumference of the shoulder closed end 21 . Exemplarily, the throttling grooves 211 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the shoulder closed end 21 .
[0061] Combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an annular groove 214 is provided at the connection between the shoulder closed end 21 and the valve core main body section 22 disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. The axial depth of the annular groove 214 on the shoulder closed end 21 is greater than the axial depth of the throttle groove 211 on the shoulder closed end 21. It should be noted that the axial depth of the throttle groove 211 on the shoulder closed end 21 is the dimension of the throttle groove 211 extending in the axial direction on the shoulder closed end 21, and this dimension is the same as the dimension of the baffle 212 extending in the axial direction.
[0062] During the processing of the valve core 2, a triangular throttling groove 211 can be opened on the side of the cylindrical shoulder closed end 21 near the valve core main section 22, with the throttling groove 211 having a depth along the radial direction of the shoulder closed end 21. Then, a wedge-shaped space, i.e., a connecting gap 213, is machined axially at the baffle 212 formed between adjacent throttling grooves 211, so that adjacent throttling grooves 211 are connected through the connecting gap 213. Finally, an annular groove 214 is excavated on the radial bottom of the throttling groove 211, away from the valve core main section 22, and circumferentially around the valve core main section 22. The annular groove 214, the throttling groove 211, and the connecting gap 213 are all connected, which is equivalent to increasing the axial dimension of the throttling groove 211.
[0063] The basic formula for calculating steady-state fluid force is: F = p*q*v*cosα, where F is the fluid force, p is the oil pressure differential, q is the liquid density, v is the fluid velocity, and α is the jet angle. This formula shows that the fluid force is related to the jet angle, and the larger the jet angle, the smaller the fluid force.
[0064] See also Figure 8 As shown, the valve core 2 in the present application increases the axial size of the throttle groove 211 by adding the annular groove 214, so that the jet angle when the valve core 2 supplies oil to the oil outlet through the throttle groove 211 is increased, thereby reducing the liquid force flowing through the valve core 2 in the present application.
[0065] The following combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 The relationship between the equivalent area of the throttle groove 211 and the oil outlet when the valve core 2 is moving will be described.
[0066] During the process of the throttle groove 211 and the oil outlet gradually becoming opposite to each other, the equivalent shape of the connection between the throttle groove 211 and the oil outlet can be: Figure 9 The triangle shape in the.
[0067] Combine Figure 10 It can be seen that when the displacement of the valve core 2 is less than 2 mm, as the displacement of the valve core 2 increases, the area of the throttle groove 211 relative to the oil outlet gradually increases, and the flow through the valve core 2 changes in a small slope. The valve core 2 realizes a small opening transition to avoid startup shock.
[0068] When the displacement of the valve core 2 is greater than 2mm, the equivalent area of the valve core 2 is the triangular opening area formed by the valve core 2 and the valve body 1. According to Q=K*S*(△P) (1 / 2) , where Q is the flow rate, K is a constant value, and △P is the pressure loss value. When △P is constant, the flow rate Q is proportional to the equivalent opening area S of the valve core 2. That is, as the valve core 2 moves, the equivalent area of the valve core 2 is proportional to the displacement of the valve core 2, that is, the linear change of the flow curve is achieved, thereby improving the debugging efficiency of the whole machine and reducing costs.
[0069] In addition, the present application also discloses a hydraulic control system, including a hydraulic valve, wherein the hydraulic valve is the hydraulic valve disclosed in the above embodiment. Therefore, the hydraulic control system with the hydraulic valve also has all the above technical effects, which will not be repeated here.
[0070] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.
[0071] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
