Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a hydraulic retarder, especially relates to an integrated proportional regulating pneumatic system for hydraulic retarder. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the control mode of the hydraulic retarder is mainly that the air source of the whole vehicle is proportioned on demand through an air inlet actuating mechanism, so that the movement of the medium in the hydraulic retarder generates corresponding braking force. At present, the air inlet actuating mechanism is usually realized by valve-related products, and most of the valve products adopt a proportional regulation control mode, that is, the air inlet process of the whole system can be accurately regulated according to the established control strategy through a mechanical structure. This stepless continuous adjustable working mode makes the hydraulic retarder almost cover all use conditions.
[0003] With the development of the Chinese automobile industry, the requirements for the hydraulic retarder, which is an integrated product of machine, electricity, gas and liquid, are also increasing, such as saving space and realizing higher precision control.

Since the proportional regulating pneumatic system of the split structure usually has a pin spot-welded on an injection connector, and is connected to a controller through a corresponding wire harness, this invisibly increases many risk points. Specifically, if any of the controller or the connector end wire harness fails, it will affect the function of the whole pneumatic system; at the same time, when the injection connector is damaged due to external factors, dust impurities, water vapor and the like are easily introduced into the system, accelerating the failure of the assembly, so that high-dustproof and waterproof components are usually required, greatly increasing the cost. In addition, the proportional regulating pneumatic system of the split structure also has a certain control delay and cannot be accurately controlled to "one strategy for one machine".

[0031] Pressure regulating module includes proportional valve spool 3, spool spring 4, connection valve 5 and fast discharge valve 6.
[0032] Proportional valve spool 3 is the core functional component of entire pneumatic system, and preferably, the proportional valve spool 3 of double ring support structure is used in this embodiment.Valve body 1 is provided with spool mounting cavity, and proportional valve spool 3 and spool spring 4 are coaxially installed in the spool mounting cavity from inside to outside.
[0033] The first cavity 8 is set up in valve body 1 close to the end of the frame, and the fast discharge valve 6 is set up in the first cavity 8, and the fast discharge valve air inlet hole 16 is set up on the side wall of valve body 1 corresponding to the position of the first cavity 8.The connection valve 5 is coaxially arranged in the first cavity 8 and is connected to the position of the spool mounting cavity, so that the second cavity 9 is formed between the proportional valve spool 3 and the connection valve 5.Valve body 1 is provided with a communication hole communicated between the first cavity 8 and the external hydraulic retarder cavity, for making the gas in the first cavity 8 enter the hydraulic retarder cavity through the communication hole.
[0034] As Figure 3As shown, the electromagnet 2 is coaxially located on the left side of the proportional valve spool 3, and the upper end of the valve body 1 is provided with a proportional valve connector 10 corresponding to the position of the electromagnet 2, both upper and lower ends of the proportional valve connector 10 are provided with pin interfaces, the pin interface at the upper end is used for electrical connection with the external controller, and the pin interface at the lower end is electrically connected with the electromagnet 2. The pin interfaces at the upper and lower ends of the proportional valve connector 10 are both conductive materials, and the two pin interfaces are electrically connected; the proportional valve connector 10 is provided in the pin type structure, which can realize electrical connection between the external controller and the electromagnet 2 through the pin interfaces at the upper and lower ends of the proportional valve connector 10, so that the external controller controls the electromagnet 2 in the valve body 1 to work, and the fixed connection between the valve body 1 and the external controller can be further strengthened. At the same time, the position where the proportional valve connector 10 is connected with the valve body 1 is sealed and connected by using a rubber sealing ring, so that the air tightness of the electromagnet 2 part is fully guaranteed while realizing conduction.
[0035] As shown, the electromagnet 2 is coaxially located on the left side of the proportional valve spool 3, and the upper end of the valve body 1 is provided with a proportional valve connector 10 corresponding to the position of the electromagnet 2, both upper and lower ends of the proportional valve connector 10 are provided with pin interfaces, the pin interface at the upper end is used for electrical connection with the external controller, and the pin interface at the lower end is electrically connected with the electromagnet 2.

At the same time, the position where the proportional valve connector 10 is connected with the valve body 1 is sealed and connected by using a rubber sealing ring, so that the air tightness of the electromagnet 2 part is fully guaranteed while realizing conduction. Figure 4
[0036] In the working process, some gas will be generated in the space between the electromagnet 2 and the proportional valve spool 3, in order to discharge the gas outside the valve body 1, the existing proportional pneumatic system directly opens a pressure relief exhaust hole from the space between the electromagnet 2 and the proportional valve spool 3 to the outside of the valve body 1, and the gas is directly discharged outside the valve body 1 through the pressure relief exhaust hole. However, the vehicle is prone to water vapor backflow phenomenon in the pressure relief exhaust hole during driving, thereby causing the risk of rust inside the system. In order to solve this problem, as shown in the drawings, the utility model discloses a pressure relief exhaust channel 14 in the valve body 1, one end of the pressure relief exhaust channel 14 is communicated with the space between the electromagnet 2 and the proportional valve spool 3, and the other end is communicated with the exhaust channel 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6, so that the residual gas between the proportional valve spool 3 and the electromagnet 2 can be introduced to the exhaust channel 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6 through the pressure relief exhaust channel 14, and discharged outside the valve body 1 together with the gas to be discharged in the exhaust channel 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6.

The opening preset pressure value of the safety valve 7 is equal to the preset safety pressure value of the first cavity 8, and when the system pressure is unbalanced, the excess gas can be quickly exhausted outside the valve body 1 through the safety valve 7, so that the system is balanced. Meanwhile, the safety valve 7 is integrated on the quick exhaust valve 6 in the utility model, compared with the independent design form of the traditional safety valve 7 and the quick exhaust valve 6, the integrated structure can leave more redundant space for the arrangement of other parts of the whole system. The quick exhaust valve 6 designed in the utility model can be assembled from a single direction together with the electromagnet 2 and the pressure regulating module, and the assembly is more convenient and the product is more light.
[0038] The integrated proportional regulating pneumatic system of the utility model realizes the electrical connection of the controller and the electromagnet 2 through the design of the proportional valve connector 10 provided with the pin interface at the upper and lower ends, and redesigns the pressure relief exhaust passage 14 and the inlet gas path 12, so that the whole system can realize accurate pressure regulation while effectively reducing the cost and avoiding potential hidden troubles, and the specific working process is as follows:
[0039] The inlet process: when the integrated proportional regulating pneumatic system needs to intervene in work, the external controller transmits the electrical signal to the electromagnet 2 through the proportional valve connector 10, the electromagnet 2 is electrified and stressed, the push rod of the electromagnet 2 overcomes the force of the valve core spring 4, extrudes the proportional valve core 3 to the right, so that the whole vehicle gas source (the gas of the inlet gas path 12) enters the proportional valve core 3 through the valve core inlet 13, and then flows to the second cavity 9; at the same time, the connecting valve 5 is pushed to the right under the pressure difference between the second cavity 9 and the first cavity 8, at this time, the exhaust passage 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6 is blocked, the gas enters the first cavity 8 through the gap between the connecting valve 5 and the side wall of the first cavity 8, and then enters the hydraulic retarder cavity through the communication hole.
[0040] The exhaust process: the current output by the external controller gradually decreases, the force balance of the electromagnet 2 is broken, the left side pressure of the connecting valve 5 is less than the pressure of the hydraulic retarder cavity, the connecting valve 5 moves to the left, at this time, the gas entering the hydraulic retarder cavity through the communication hole, along the gap between the connecting valve 5 and the quick exhaust valve 6, is exhausted through the exhaust passage 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6; at the same time, the residual gas between the proportional valve core 3 and the electromagnet 2 is connected through the pressure relief exhaust passage 14 and the exhaust passage 15 of the quick exhaust valve 6, and the excess gas is exhausted.
[0041] The pressure protection: when the inlet pressure of the integrated proportional regulating pneumatic system exceeds the safety pressure set by the safety valve 7, the safety valve 7 is pushed to the right and opens, and the excess pressure is exhausted, when the pressure returns to normal, the safety valve 7 is reset under the action of the spring force, and the whole pneumatic system returns to normal.
[0042] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and is not intended to limit them. For ordinary skilled persons in the art, the specific technical solutions described in the above embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced equivalently, and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions protected by the present application.
