Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tractor technology, specifically to a hydraulic system for a suspended cab and a tractor. Background Technology

[0002] When a tractor is driven on uneven terrain, the cab experiences significant shaking and movement, causing discomfort to the driver. Traditional methods to address this issue typically employ a rigid cab or springs for shock absorption. However, these methods are passive and ineffective, failing to guarantee driver comfort. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a suspended cab hydraulic system and a tractor, aiming to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] A hydraulic system for a suspended cab includes an oil control valve group, two hydraulic cylinder control valve groups, two hydraulic cylinders, and an energy storage mechanism. The oil control valve group is provided with an oil inlet P, an oil return port T, and an oil outlet. The oil outlet is connected to the oil inlet P or the oil return port T.

[0006] The two hydraulic cylinder control valve groups are respectively provided with an interconnected interface 1 and a lower cavity interface, an interconnected interface 2 and an upper cavity interface, and an interface 3. Each interface 3 can be connected to the connection between the corresponding interface 1 and the lower cavity interface.

[0007] The lower chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders are respectively connected to the two lower chamber interfaces through pipelines, and their upper chambers are respectively connected to the upper chamber interfaces through pipe openings; the energy storage mechanism is respectively connected to the two interfaces through pipelines.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: during vehicle operation, in automatic mode, the vehicle is in a stable driving state, the energy storage mechanism is filled with oil, and the energy storage mechanism uses two hydraulic cylinder control valve groups to supply oil to the two hydraulic cylinders, ensuring that the two hydraulic cylinders operate smoothly.

[0009] In manual mode, the oil enters through the oil inlet P, and then passes through the control valve group of the two hydraulic cylinders to enter the lower chamber of the two hydraulic cylinders, so as to extend the two hydraulic cylinders and thus raise the seat.

[0010] In addition, the oil in the lower chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders flows back to the return port T through the control valve group of the two hydraulic cylinders, so as to realize the contraction of the two hydraulic cylinders and thus realize the lowering of the seat.

[0011] This utility model has a compact structure and provides a hydraulically suspended cab with semi-active shock absorption, resulting in good comfort.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the hydraulic cylinder control valve groups includes a solenoid valve, a filling check valve, and a throttle valve. The filling check valve and the throttle valve are connected in parallel, with one end of the valve connected to the oil outlet through a pipeline, and the other end of the valve connected to the lower chamber of the corresponding hydraulic cylinder through a pipeline.

[0014] The solenoid valve is provided with an oil port 1 and an oil port 2 that are connected or disconnected. The oil port 1 is connected to the filling check valve and the other end of the throttle valve 1 through a pipeline that connects to the lower chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. The oil port 2 is connected to the energy storage mechanism through a pipeline. The extension rods of the two hydraulic cylinders are respectively connected to displacement sensors.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during the vehicle's operation, in automatic mode, the vehicle is in a stable driving state, the energy storage mechanism is filled with oil, and the energy storage mechanism uses two solenoid valves to supply oil to two hydraulic cylinders, ensuring that the two hydraulic cylinders operate smoothly.

[0016] In manual mode, the oil enters through the oil inlet P, and then passes through two throttle valves to enter the lower chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders. At the same time, the accumulator is charged with fluid to extend the two hydraulic cylinders, thereby raising the seat.

[0017] In addition, the oil in the lower chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders flows back to the return port T through two filling check valves to achieve the contraction of the two hydraulic cylinders, thereby lowering the seat;

[0018] During vehicle operation, a displacement sensor detects the displacement of the hydraulic cylinder, which is converted into a current signal. The controller then controls the opening of solenoid valve one based on this current signal, thereby controlling the amount of oil entering and exiting.

[0019] Furthermore, each of the hydraulic cylinder control valve groups also includes a pressure relief valve. The two ports on the pressure relief valve are respectively connected to the energy storage mechanism and the second oil port through a pipeline, and to the lower chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through a pipeline connecting the other end of the filling check valve and the first throttle valve.

[0020] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are that the structure is simple and the design is reasonable. When the pressure in the energy storage mechanism is too high, some of the oil is returned through two pressure relief valves to release the pressure.

[0021] Furthermore, the pressure relief valve is a one-way valve.

[0022] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it is more reasonable to use a one-way valve for the pressure relief valve, as the one-way valve ensures unidirectional flow of oil.

[0023] Furthermore, the oil control valve assembly includes a second solenoid valve, the oil inlet P, the oil return port T, and the oil outlet are located on the second solenoid valve, and the oil outlet is connected to a pipeline that connects the two filling check valves and one end of the throttle valve through a pipeline.

[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during the operation, by changing the position of the second valve core of the solenoid valve, oil supply and return can be realized, which is convenient and facilitates operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the oil control valve assembly also includes a solenoid valve three, which has an oil port three and an oil port four that are interconnected. The oil port three is connected to the oil outlet, and the oil port four is connected to a pipeline between the two filling check valves and one end of the throttle valve through a pipeline.

[0026] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by changing the three valve cores of the solenoid valve, the flow direction of the oil can be changed, thereby realizing oil supply and return, which is convenient for operation.

[0027] Furthermore, the oil control valve assembly also includes a feedback check valve, one end of which is connected to a pipeline between the oil outlet and the oil port three via a pipeline.

[0028] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during operation, the load signal is fed back to the LS port of the variable pump via a one-way valve, so as to control the pump's displacement according to the specific situation, and the liquid supply is convenient.

[0029] Furthermore, the energy storage mechanism includes two energy storage units, which are respectively connected to the two interfaces via pipelines.

[0030] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that during vehicle operation, in automatic mode, the vehicle is in a stable driving state, the two accumulators are filled with oil, and the two accumulators use two hydraulic cylinder control valve groups to supply fluid to the two hydraulic cylinders, ensuring that the two hydraulic cylinders operate smoothly.

[0031] Furthermore, the oil inlet P is connected to one end of the oil supply pipeline, and a throttle valve is fixedly installed on the oil supply pipeline.

[0032] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are that it has a simple structure, reasonable design, and uses throttle valve two to control the amount of oil supplied, thus saving costs.

[0033] This utility model also relates to a tractor, including the suspended cab hydraulic system described above.

[0034] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is that this utility model also provides a tractor with a compact structure, a hydraulically suspended cab, semi-active shock absorption, and good comfort. Attached Figure Description
