Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic control valve technology, specifically a control valve used in hydraulic grab equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic grab cranes replace the connecting slings and hooks of traditional cranes with hydraulic grabs. Hydraulic grab cranes are classified into bridge grab cranes, gantry grab cranes, and articulated grab cranes, with grabs available in two-, four-, and six-lobed configurations. They are mainly used for material grabbing and transfer in cement plants, power plants, ports, and waste treatment plants. As an automated material handling machine, the grabbing and unloading actions are controlled by the operator in the cab, eliminating the need for auxiliary personnel. This avoids heavy manual labor, saves working time, and significantly improves loading and unloading efficiency and safety. The valve assembly, while fulfilling the grab's opening and closing functions, features a clever structural design that also ensures the oil tank's seal under high-frequency, tilting conditions. Within a minimal space, it maximizes the fulfillment of operational requirements, making it more competitive in the market.

[0003] The control valves on existing hydraulic grabs are not stable when grabbing and unloading materials under heavy-duty conditions. The grabbing pressure is unstable, which can easily damage the goods or cause the gripping force to be too loose during use. The goods may fall off during the grabbing and transportation process. As a result, the hydraulic grab crane cannot meet the grabbing requirements of different materials when applied to different working conditions. In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes a control valve for hydraulic grab equipment. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a control valve for a hydraulic grab bucket device, including a control valve body. A first relief valve 1 is threadedly connected to the front surface of the control valve body. A cover plate assembly 2 is provided on the end surface of the first relief valve 1. A second hydraulic control check valve 8 is installed on the upper surface of the cover plate assembly 2. The second hydraulic control check valve 8 is symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the cover plate assembly 2. A first damper 11 is installed on each of the second hydraulic control check valve 8.

[0030] The top surface of the first overflow valve 1 is threadedly connected to the third hydraulic control check valve 9, and the top of the third hydraulic control check valve 9 extends beyond the top of the control valve body;

[0031] A throttle valve 10 is provided on one side of the No. 3 hydraulic control check valve 9. An installation hole is provided on the upper surface of the control valve body. The throttle valve 10 is threadedly installed in the installation hole and has a sinking structure.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, a shuttle valve 6 is provided on one side of the first overflow valve 1, a second overflow valve 4 is provided on one side of the shuttle valve 6, and a two-way valve 3 is provided on the other side of the first overflow valve 1. The first overflow valve 1 is located between the two-way valve 3 and the shuttle valve 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a first hydraulic check valve 7 is provided on the side surface of the control valve body away from the cover plate assembly 2, and the first hydraulic check valve 7 is symmetrically distributed.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the control valve body has a No. 3 overflow valve 5 on its back surface.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall surface of the cover plate assembly 2 is provided with a second damper 12, which is distributed at equal intervals and there are multiple sets of the second damper 12.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The control valve group on the hydraulic grab crane equipment consists of an overflow valve 1, a cover plate assembly 2, a two-way valve 3, an overflow valve 4, an overflow valve 5, a shuttle valve 6, a check valve 7, a hydraulically controlled check valve 8, a hydraulically controlled check valve 9, a throttle valve 10, a first damper 11, and a second damper 12. The maximum working flow rate is 120L / min, controlling the six-lobed grab bucket. The cover plate assembly controls the opening and closing of the two-way valve. When the solenoid valve on the cover plate assembly is energized, high-pressure oil is supplied to port D, the hydraulic grab bucket opens quickly and normally, and when the pressure reaches the set value, the system returns to the standby state, exhibiting good energy-saving effect. During the grabbing operation, high-pressure oil is supplied through port D. The hydraulic grab bucket smoothly grabs materials under the action of throttle valve 10, and the pressure is maintained at the set value to prevent excessive grabbing force from damaging the materials. Relief valve 1 mainly limits system pressure to ensure that subsequent actions do not pose a safety hazard. High-pressure oil is supplied through port D, and the solenoid valve in cover plate assembly 2 closes the pilot control of two-way valve 3.1. The oil flows through two-way valve 3.1 to check valve 7.1 and enters one end of the grab bucket's cylinder. The other end of the cylinder returns to the oil tank through port C via hydraulic directional valve 9, and the grab bucket opens. Relief valve 4 provides pressure protection when the grab bucket opens. High-pressure oil is supplied through port E, and the solenoid valve in cover plate assembly 2 closes the pilot control of two-way valve 3.2. The oil flows through two-way valve 3.2 to check valve 7.2 and enters one side of the grab bucket's cylinder. The other side of the cylinder returns to the oil tank through hydraulic directional valve 8 and throttle valve 10, and the grab bucket closes, grabbing the materials. Relief valve 5 provides pressure limitation when the grab bucket closes.

[0037] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims or their equivalents.
