Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hydraulic technology, in particular to a pilot control balancing valve. Background Art
[0002] At present, the pilot ratio of most balancing valves is fixed. Commonly used pilot ratios include 3:1, 4.5:1, and 8:1. When the pilot ratio is relatively large, the opening sensitivity of the balancing valve is high, and a relatively small control pressure can open the valve port. However, slight fluctuations in the control pressure will cause the balancing valve port to repeatedly open and close at a high frequency. The end effector is prone to jitter and has poor stability, affecting the safety of the main engine. When the pilot ratio is relatively small, a higher control pressure is required to open the valve port, and the system energy consumption is relatively high. In actual working conditions, the main engine needs to select an appropriate pilot ratio to balance system stability and energy consumption. However, in actual working conditions, changes require shutting down the machine to disassemble and replace accessories, which is relatively cumbersome. Therefore, how to quickly and conveniently change the pilot ratio has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In response to the above technical problems, the present invention provides a balancing valve with an adjustable pilot and a working method, which can realize convenient and rapid adjustment of the pilot by adjusting the screw to improve the stability of system operation.
[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is:
[0005] Pilot-operated adjustable balancing valve, including:
[0006] The valve body has a main hole extending horizontally inward at one end and a pilot oil hole connected to the main hole at the other end; a load port 1, a load port 2, an oil inlet 1, an oil inlet 2 and an oil inlet 3 connected to the main hole are provided on the side of the valve body;
[0007] a balancing valve assembly, inserted into the main hole;
[0008] A one-way valve with damping, sleeved on the balancing valve assembly;
[0009] The pilot adjusting screw is rotatably adjusted and fixedly arranged in the pilot oil hole. By controlling the depth of the pilot adjusting screw being screwed in, the remaining space of the pilot oil hole is changed, thereby controlling the force acting on the damped one-way valve.
[0010] Specifically, the pilot adjusting screw is provided with a pilot adjusting nut adapted thereto, and the pilot adjusting screw is secured to the end of the valve body by locking the pilot adjusting nut.
[0011] Specifically, the valve body is provided with a pressure measuring port connected to the main hole.
[0012] Specifically, the front end of the pilot adjusting screw is in a frustum shape, the major diameter of the frustum is larger than the aperture of the pilot oil hole, and the minor diameter of the frustum is smaller than the aperture of the pilot oil hole.
[0013] Specifically, the balancing valve assembly includes:
[0014] The balancing valve sleeve is detachably sealed and fixedly arranged in the main hole, and a working chamber is provided in the middle; an adjusting screw is provided at the outer end of the balancing valve sleeve and extends into the working chamber;
[0015] A balancing valve core, the tail end of which is sealed and slides in the balancing valve sleeve, and the front end of which is sealed and slides in the first cavity in the main hole and is connected to the damped one-way valve;
[0016] A balancing valve spring seat is provided in the balancing valve sleeve, one end of which is adapted to the adjusting screw, and the other end of which is connected to the tail end of the balancing valve core through the balancing valve spring;
[0017] A one-way valve seat is sealingly and slidably disposed in the main hole, and its inner cavity is adapted to the valve core of the balancing valve;

[0019] Specifically, the adjusting screw is rotatably fixed on the valve sleeve of the balancing valve through a thread.
[0020] Specifically, the adjusting screw is provided with a detachable and fixed balancing valve adjusting nut.
[0021] Specifically, one end of the one-way valve spring is located in the limiting hole at the end of the one-way valve seat, and the other end is connected to the one-way valve spring seat.
[0022] The utility model includes a valve body, a balancing valve assembly, a damped one-way valve and a pilot adjusting screw; the pilot adjusting screw can be rotatably adjusted and fixedly set in the pilot oil hole. By controlling the depth of the pilot adjusting screw, the remaining space in the pilot oil hole is changed, thereby controlling the force acting on the damped one-way valve. The pilot oil acts on the damped one-way valve through the pilot oil hole, driving the movement of the balancing valve core, connecting load port two and oil inlet one or two; tightening the pilot adjusting screw, the gap between the pilot adjusting screw and the pilot oil hole becomes smaller, the pressure acting on the damped one-way valve gradually decreases, and the pilot ratio gradually decreases. This case reduces the pressure acting on the damped one-way valve by changing the flow flow area of the pilot oil hole, thereby reducing the pilot ratio and making the system run more stably.
