Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic control valve, specifically to a self-control valve in a hydraulic circuit for quick loading and unloading of anvils that automatically switches on and off according to pressure changes, belonging to the field of hydraulic equipment design and manufacturing technology. Background Technology
[0002] To facilitate the rapid loading and unloading of the anvil on a large hydraulic forging machine, Chinese Patent Application No. 202411582263.8 discloses a device and operating method for rapid loading and unloading of the anvil. The device uses a positioning wedge pin consisting of a tenon and a movable wedge pin. The movable wedge pin is placed in the wedge pin hole of the connecting rod, allowing for quick loading and unloading of the anvil by tightening and loosening the wedge. This also significantly reduces the wedge pin stroke, resulting in a smaller space footprint for the rapid loading and unloading device, easier equipment layout, and reduced energy consumption. To facilitate hydraulic power input, Chinese Patent No. 201710174377.2 discloses a hydraulic circuit and oil supply method for locking the anvil seat on a hydraulic forging machine. An internal flow hole is provided between the oil chamber of the return hydraulic cylinder and the movable beam. One end of the hole is connected to the oil inlet chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, and the other end is connected to a connecting pipe via a piston rod. The other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the hydraulic cylinder of the rapid loading and unloading device, enabling synchronous movement of the oil pipeline of the rapid loading and unloading device and the movable beam. Even with the combined application of the two technologies mentioned above, there are still some shortcomings: when quickly removing the anvil, after the wedge pin is removed, the fixing nut must be manually operated to fix the wedge pin, and then the pressure must be manually released; when quickly installing the anvil, multiple manual operations are still required. In order to further improve work efficiency and achieve automated operation, the existing liquid supply circuit needs to be improved with automatic control. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model proposes a self-control valve in the hydraulic circuit of quick-change anvil. A high-pressure shut-off and low-pressure open self-control valve is set on the hydraulic pipeline between the hydraulic power source and the quick-change device to realize automatic and rapid anvil replacement on the forging machine.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a self-control valve in a quick-change anvil hydraulic circuit, comprising: a quick-forging machine and a quick-installation and quick-discharge mechanism. The quick-forging machine includes a movable beam, a forging cylinder, a return cylinder, an upper anvil seat, and an upper anvil. During the return operation of the quick-forging machine, the pressure of the oil in the return cylinder increases; during the quick-down operation of the quick-forging machine, the pressure of the oil in the return cylinder decreases. The quick-installation and quick-discharge mechanism includes a hydraulic circuit and a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder group and a wedge pin. A return spring is installed in the rodless chamber of one hydraulic cylinder in the hydraulic cylinder group. The wedge pin includes a tenon and a movable wedge pin. The plunger of the forging cylinder and the single rod of the return cylinder are connected to the movable beam. The upper anvil seat is fixed below the movable beam. The single rod of the return cylinder and the movable beam are provided with built-in flow holes. The hydraulic cylinder group drives the wedge pin to disengage the connecting rod on the upper anvil from the positioning hole in the upper anvil seat or to tighten the connecting pin. Its characteristics are:
[0005] The hydraulic circuit includes a hydraulic power source, a switching valve, a self-control valve, hydraulic pipelines, and the hydraulic cylinder assembly;
[0006] The hydraulic power source is set as the pressure oil in the rod chamber of the return cylinder to provide pressure oil to the hydraulic cylinder group;
[0007] The switching valve is installed on the pipeline between the built-in flow passage and the self-control valve;
[0008] The self-control valve includes a valve body and a valve core. The valve core is placed in the inner cavity of the valve body and divides the inner cavity into an oil cavity, an oil hole cavity, and a spring cavity. There are two oil hole cavities. The oil cavity and the spring cavity are located at both ends of the valve core. Pressurized oil is introduced into the oil cavity, and a spring is installed in the spring cavity. The pressurized oil and the spring clamp the valve core and slide it in the inner cavity of the valve body.
[0009] The automatic control valve is set with a fully closed working pressure and a fully open working pressure. When the pressure oil pressure reaches the fully closed working pressure, the automatic control valve is fully closed. When the pressure oil pressure drops to the fully open working pressure, the automatic control valve is fully open.
[0010] When the pressure of the oil is greater than the spring force, the valve core slides into the spring cavity, and the pressure of the oil rises to the fully closed working pressure, the self-control valve is fully closed.
[0011] When the pressure of the oil is less than the spring force, the valve core slides into the oil chamber, the pressure of the oil drops to the fully open working pressure, and the self-control valve is fully open.
[0012] The valve body of the self-control valve is provided with a first, second and third oil inlet and outlet ports. The first oil inlet and outlet port is connected to the oil chamber, and the second and third oil inlet and outlet ports are respectively connected to an oil hole.
[0013] The hydraulic pipeline consists of the built-in flow passage and the connecting pipe. One end of the built-in flow passage is connected to the rod chamber of the return cylinder, and the other end is connected to one end of the connecting pipe. The other end of the connecting pipe is connected to the first oil inlet / outlet and the second or third oil inlet / outlet, respectively. Correspondingly, the third or second oil inlet / outlet is connected to the hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic cylinder group.
[0014] Preferably, the working pressure for closing the automatic control valve is set at ≥10 MPa, and the working pressure for opening the automatic control valve is set at ≤5 MPa.
[0015] Preferably, the working pressure for closing the self-control valve is set at ≥10 MPa, and the working pressure for opening is set at ≤5 MPa.
[0016] This invention controls the oil chamber pressure of the self-regulating valve by operating the forging machine during the return and idle strokes. By changing the oil chamber pressure, the opening and closing of the self-regulating valve is adjusted to ensure that the wedge pin can be smoothly withdrawn and inserted into the wedge pin hole under complex working conditions. The self-regulating valve's high-pressure closing and low-pressure opening function is used to achieve the purpose of quick installation and removal of the anvil.
[0017] This utility model has the advantages of novel design, high degree of automation, and stable and flexible operation. Attached Figure Description

The switching valve 9 is set between the return cylinder 6 and the self-control valve 4. The hydraulic pipeline consists of the built-in flow passage hole and oil pipeline 7 provided in the return cylinder plunger and the movable beam. In the figure, a is the connection port of oil pipeline 7.
[0030] The self-regulating valve 4 has a valve core 5 inside its cavity, which divides the cavity into an oil chamber B, oil holes A and P, and a spring chamber. The oil chamber B and spring chamber are located at opposite ends of the valve core 5. A spring 8 is installed in the spring chamber. The pressure oil in the oil chamber B, along with the spring 8, clamps the valve core 5, causing it to slide. When the pressure oil in the oil chamber B exceeds the spring force of the spring 8, the spring 8 is compressed, and the valve core 5 slides into the spring chamber. When the oil pressure in the oil chamber B reaches the fully closed working pressure, the spring 8 is compressed until oil holes A and P are not connected, and the self-regulating valve 4 is completely closed. When the pressure oil in the oil chamber B is less than the spring force of the spring 8, the spring 8 extends, and the valve core 5 slides into the oil chamber B. When the oil pressure in the oil chamber B reaches the fully opened working pressure, the spring 8 extends until oil holes A and P are connected, and the self-regulating valve 4 is fully open. The valve body of the self-regulating valve 4 has three inlet and outlet ports, which are respectively connected to the oil chamber B and oil holes A and P.

The hydraulic oil in the return cylinder 6 is frequently pressurized and depressurized, and the hydraulic cylinder assembly 3 frequently pushes the tenon 301 and the movable wedge pin 302.

In special cases, simultaneously operate the forging cylinder to press down, making the upper anvil 1 fit with the upper anvil seat 2. Then perform the idle rapid descent operation, entering the attached... Figure 9 As shown, the self-control valve 4 gradually opens to drain oil. The return spring pushes the tenon 301 and the movable wedge pin 302 to connect the connecting rod 101 with the positioning hole 201. When the pressure oil pressure is less than or equal to the fully open working pressure, the tenon 301 and the movable wedge pin 302 connect the connecting rod 101 with the positioning hole 201 in place, completing the quick installation of the upper anvil and achieving the attached... Figure 10 In the state shown, close the switch valve 9.
[0033] Another implementation of the quick-release anvil method involves entering the attachment after the quick-release anvil 1 is completed. Figure 5 After reaching the desired state, directly install the anvil, insert the connecting rod 101 into the positioning hole 201, and proceed into the attached...
