Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hydraulic systems, in particular to a high-stability hydraulic system. Background Art
[0002] The hydraulic station is a hydraulic source system composed of a hydraulic pump, motor, oil tank, directional valve, throttle valve, relief valve, etc. When in use, the motor drives the oil pump to rotate, and the pump draws oil from the oil tank and pumps oil, converting mechanical energy into the pressure energy of hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil is adjusted in direction, pressure and flow by the hydraulic valve through the integrated block (or control valve group) and then transmitted to the oil cylinder or oil motor of the hydraulic machinery through the external pipeline, thereby controlling the action of the hydraulic machine.
[0003] Our company recently purchased a hydraulic station for machine tool processing, which frequently triggered alarms during use. This was primarily due to the fact that fluids are susceptible to friction and resistance during transportation, causing pressure fluctuations in the system. These fluctuations directly affected the movement of the actuator cylinders, which in turn caused machine tool alarms and disrupted normal processing. Currently, accumulators are commonly used for pressure regulation in hydraulic stations. Accumulators convert system energy into compressed or potential energy and store it. When needed, these energy is released as hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, replenishing the system and thus stabilizing the hydraulic system's pressure.
[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent publication number CN217107613U provides an energy-saving and environmentally friendly hydraulic station. This system utilizes a three-way valve installed on the oil pump's outlet pipe. The other two ends of the valve are connected to the oil inlet of the manifold block and an accumulator via pipes. The accumulator stabilizes system pressure, reducing frequent motor starts and achieving energy savings. However, during the hydraulic station renovation, our company discovered that while adding an accumulator stabilized system pressure, the solenoid valve still had a high failure rate. Analysis revealed that the hydraulic system's oil tank was a plastic tank with poor heat dissipation, resulting in high oil temperatures and susceptible to damage to the internal components of the solenoid valve. During use, our company experienced excessive scrapping of damaged solenoid valves, significantly increasing the company's acquisition costs.
[0005] In summary, our company has comprehensively transformed and upgraded the hydraulic system currently in use, providing a high-stability hydraulic system that runs smoothly, consumes low energy, has good heat dissipation, and is easy to install and maintain. In addition, the system has a reasonable spatial layout, occupies little external horizontal space, and can be fully adapted to the placement area of the machine tool, with good overall space utilization. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides a high-stability hydraulic system, which can solve the technical problems of poor stability, poor heat dissipation and large space occupied by the overall layout of the existing hydraulic system.
[0007] This application provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A high-stability hydraulic system includes a first control valve group, a hydraulic pump and an oil tank arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the oil tank being a metal oil tank, connected to the hydraulic pump and the first control valve group by pipelines; the first control valve group is arranged above the oil tank through a frame, the frame is open on all sides, a partition is provided on the top of the frame, the first control valve group is arranged above the partition, and forms a heat dissipation space with the partition; the top of the frame and the oil tank constitute an installation space, and a motor and a fan for cooling the motor are provided in the installation space; an accumulator is provided on the side wall of the oil tank near the hydraulic pump through a mounting bracket, and the accumulator is connected to the outlet pipeline of the hydraulic pump.
[0009] Beneficial effects:
[0010] 1. Reasonable spatial layout: The first control valve group, hydraulic pump, oil tank and other components are arranged along the vertical space, which reduces the area occupied by the hydraulic station in the longitudinal direction. The machine tool body is large in size. By optimizing the layout of the hydraulic station, it is more in line with the placement area of the machine tool, and the overall space utilization is good.
[0011] 2. Good heat dissipation: The original plastic tank is replaced with a metal oil tank, which improves the heat dissipation. The frame is opened all around to facilitate heat dissipation of the motor. A fan is installed in the installation space of the frame, and a partition is installed on the top of the frame. The partition can isolate the control valve group above. Especially when the fan is started, the heat is mainly dissipated from the four sides of the frame, which can reduce the impact of motor heat on other components, especially the control valve group.
[0012] 3. System pressure stability: By installing an accumulator on the outlet pipe of the hydraulic pump, when the system pressure increases, the gas pressure in the accumulator will also increase, thereby compressing the excess liquid back into the tank, restoring the system pressure to the set value; when the system pressure drops, the gas pressure in the accumulator will also drop. When the pressure in the tank drops to a certain value, the liquid will automatically enter the system, thus maintaining the system pressure stable. In addition, the installation of the accumulator reduces the number of times the hydraulic pump is started to replenish pressure, giving the hydraulic oil ample time to dissipate heat naturally, which helps to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the system.
[0013] 4. Easy to disassemble and maintain: The first control valve group is used to connect to the actuator cylinder on the machine tool through pipelines. By arranging the first control valve group at the top, it is convenient to install the connecting pipelines and also convenient for subsequent maintenance. In addition, the first control valve group is not in direct contact with the partition, but forms a heat dissipation space with it, which can further reduce the influence of the heating elements below on the control valve group, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the valve group.
[0014] Further, the second control valve group is arranged inside the machine tool, and the outlet pipeline of the hydraulic pump is connected with the first branch pipeline and the second branch pipeline through a three-way pipe, the first branch pipeline is connected with the first control valve group, and the second branch pipeline is connected with the second control valve group.
[0015] Beneficial effects: by connecting the two control valve groups with one oil tank, the original two hydraulic stations inside and outside the machine tool are combined into one, which is beneficial to reducing the number of motors and hydraulic pumps and energy consumption; during use, the two branch pipelines supply liquid to the first control valve group, the second control valve group and the corresponding executing elements respectively, for example, the first control valve group is an external valve group, which is mainly used for controlling the actions of tool clamps and the like of the machine tool, and the second control valve group is an internal valve group of the machine tool, which is mainly used for controlling the actions of lifting, lowering, rotating of the tray and clamping and loosening of the main shaft tool.
[0016] Further, the pressure of the second branch pipeline is greater than that of the first branch pipeline, and the outlet end of the first branch pipeline is provided with a pressure reducing valve.
[0017] Beneficial effects: since the two control valve groups are used for controlling different executing elements, the pressures required by the two control valve groups are different, the pressure of the second branch pipeline is greater than that of the first branch pipeline, the pressure of the total pipeline is set to the pressure required by the second branch pipeline, and then the pressure is reduced to the pressure required by the first branch pipeline through the pressure reducing valve, so that the control mode is simpler, and the number of regulating valves can be reduced.
[0018] Further, the first control valve group and the second control valve group include at least five electromagnetic valves, the oil outlet and the oil return of the electromagnetic valves of the first control valve group are directed to the outside for being connected with executing cylinders, and the second control valve group is vertically arranged on the inner wall of the machine tool through a valve group support.
[0019] Beneficial effects: the arrangement positions of the first control valve group and the second control valve group are beneficial to installing the connecting pipelines.
[0020] Further, the partition plate is in a tray structure.
[0021] Beneficial effects: the tray structure can be used as a shelf, the hydraulic station of the application is mainly used for machine tools, the number of valve group pipelines is large, and the number of installed components is large, so the partition plate can be used as a shelf for placing the installed components.
[0022] Further, the mounting support is welded on the outer wall of the oil tank, and the energy accumulator is arranged on the mounting support; the side wall of the oil tank is further provided with a connecting hoop, and the connecting hoop is connected with the energy accumulator.
[0023] Beneficial effects: the energy accumulator used in the application has a large volume and weight, and the arrangement of the connecting hoop is beneficial to ensuring the stability of the installation of the energy accumulator.
[0024] Further, the bottom of the oil tank is further provided with universal wheels.
[0025] Beneficial effects: The hydraulic system of the present application is an external hydraulic station, and universal wheels are provided at the bottom of the oil tank to facilitate the movement of the hydraulic station.
[0026] Furthermore, an oil inlet is provided at the top of the oil tank, an oil outlet is provided at the bottom of the oil tank, and sealing plugs are provided on both the oil inlet and the oil outlet.
