[0002] With the rapid expansion of mine TBM, shaft and other heading machine market, small turn, large slope has become a new challenge restricting its development. Affected by the working environment, the hydraulic oil tank should adapt to a certain roadway slope work, and the traditional hydraulic oil tank cannot meet the use demand. Under large slope, the oil tank is easy to appear breather blockage or oil spill, and the oil suction filter port is easy to be exposed on the liquid surface, so that the hydraulic pump working produces suction phenomenon, which affects the equipment performance. At present, to adapt to large slope, the hydraulic oil tank of mine TBM and other heading machine equipment adopts increasing the volume of hydraulic oil tank to reduce the highest liquid level height, to avoid the hydraulic oil spilling through breather after the slope inclination. The lowest liquid level height is increased to avoid causing the hydraulic pump suction. In this way, the volume of hydraulic oil tank is bloated, the effective utilization rate of hydraulic oil tank is low, the initial hydraulic oil is more, and the cost is high. Therefore, a new large slope self-adaptive hydraulic oil tank needs to be developed.
[0003] The large slope self-adaptive hydraulic oil tank not only should have the phenomenon that the hydraulic pump does not occur suction under large slope, but also the breather of the oil tank can work normally, to avoid the phenomenon that the breather is blocked when the oil tank is inclined, causing the pressure disorder in the oil tank or the oil spill, causing environmental pollution and resource waste. In the prior art, a large slope heading machine hydraulic oil tank disclosed in Chinese patent with publication number CN 103671298 A only increases the length of oil suction filter element to avoid the phenomenon of oil pump suction, and cannot guarantee the phenomenon that oil spills from breather at high liquid level. A large slope roadway hydraulic oil tank disclosed in Chinese patent with publication number CN 114838018 B is designed by dividing the internal space of the oil tank body into upper and lower layers, and the longitudinal section parallel to the moving direction is two-step shaped. Although it can avoid the occurrence of oil spill and suction phenomenon to some extent, the volume of the oil tank body is bloated, which is limited by the use space on site, and the effective utilization rate of hydraulic oil is low. In addition, an oil tank device suitable for large slope vehicle-mounted reinforced power station disclosed in Chinese patent with publication number CN 208380730 U cannot avoid the problem that oil spills from breather under large slope.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments.

[0025] As Figure 1 , 2As shown in the embodiment 1, a large slope adaptive hydraulic tank includes a tank body 12, which in this embodiment can adopt a rectangular structure tank; with the tank width unchanged and the length appropriately reduced, the required hydraulic oil amount of the tank to ensure not to be sucked empty is reduced, and the effective utilization rate of the tank is improved. The tank body 12 is provided with at least one floating ball type control valve 3, and the floating ball type control valve 3 is connected with a breather 2; the breather adopts a model SDB-121 breather of Stauff, Germany, and the floating ball type control valve 3 is a floating ball valve that is opened and closed through a liquid level control valve body. The inside of the tank body 12 is divided into an oil suction area and an oil return area by a baffle filter assembly 4, which can eliminate oil return bubbles, reduce oil temperature and impurities. The bottom of the oil suction area is provided with an oil suction filter assembly 7, which can adopt a horizontal filter assembly. By reducing the height of the oil suction filter assembly arranged on the side, the initial oil tank hydraulic oil amount at the minimum liquid level is reduced, the effective utilization rate of the tank volume is high, the structure is compact and reliable, and the cost is saved. The oil suction filter assembly 7 adopts at least one oil suction filter, which provides reliable oil supply guarantee for large slope work, is placed at the bottom of the side of the tank, is fixed by a flange and a bolt, ensures the precision and pressure of the oil suction oil, and ensures the normal work of the power element. The bottom of the oil return area is provided with a drain port for convenient oil replacement. Compared with the commonly used method of increasing the height of the hydraulic tank to reduce the height of the highest liquid level to avoid hydraulic oil overflow through the breather after the slope is inclined, the combination of the breathing valve in the floating ball type control valve and the breather has higher reliability, the tank structure is more compact, the effective utilization rate of the hydraulic tank volume is high, and the cost advantage of the hydraulic oil utilization rate is outstanding.
[0026] In this embodiment, as preferred, Figure 3 As shown, the floating ball type control valve 3 includes a breathing valve piece 13 and a floating ball 14, the floating ball 14 is connected with the valve core of the breathing valve piece 13 through a connecting rod piece 15, and the floating ball 14 is located in the tank body 12 and controls the opening and closing of the breathing valve piece 13 through the oil liquid level in the tank body 12. The breathing valve piece 13 serves as an opening and closing piece; when the tank is inclined, the oil liquid in the tank pushes the floating ball to move up, and when the height reaches the set height, the valve core starts to close the breathing valve piece; when the oil liquid height continues to rise to the set limit position, the breathing valve piece is completely closed; preventing the oil liquid from overflowing from the breather.
[0027] The embodiment 2 is a large slope adaptive hydraulic oil tank, based on the embodiment 1, in the embodiment, the breathing valve 13 further comprises a valve core and a valve body, the valve body is provided with an axial inlet and an outlet perpendicular to the inlet, the valve core moves along the axial direction under the lead of the float ball and the connecting rod, and the opening and closing of the breathing valve is realized. The oil tank body 12 is provided with a breathing hole at the top, the valve body of the breathing valve 13 is fixed in the breathing hole, the valve core of the breathing valve 13 is located in the valve body of the breathing valve 13, and the connecting rod 15 is connected to the bottom of the valve core of the breathing valve 13 through the adjusting bolt 17.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , in the embodiment, as an implementation manner, the oil tank body 12 is provided with two float ball type control valves 3 at the upper part, the two float ball type control valves 3 correspond to the oil suction area and the oil return area respectively, the two float ball type control valves 3 are connected through the hard pipe 16, and the breather 2 is connected to the hard pipe 16. The number of the breather 2 can be one or two or more according to the requirement. When the two float ball type control valves 3 are arranged, there are two breathing valves, the breathing valves adapt to the oil tank inclination liquid level, the breathing valve corresponding to the high liquid level on one side is closed, and the breathing valve corresponding to the low liquid level on the other side is opened, the breather is communicated with the inside of the oil tank while the overflow of the low liquid level oil tank from the breather is avoided, the internal pressure of the oil tank is adjusted, and the oil liquid cannot overflow under the large slope. Compared with the common method of increasing the height of the hydraulic oil tank to reduce the highest liquid level height and avoid the overflow of the hydraulic oil through the breather after the inclination of the slope, the combination of the breathing valve and the breather has higher reliability, the structure of the oil tank is more compact, the effective utilization rate of the volume of the hydraulic oil tank is high, and the cost advantage of the utilization rate of the hydraulic oil is prominent.
