AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, when the temperature is low, the hydraulic oil in the log gripper is cold and has high viscosity, which leads to a slow valve opening speed, a larger pilot pressure range, and a decrease in the smoothness of handle operation.
The system employs a semi-electric control system for the opening and closing of the log grabber. It utilizes the pilot oil pressure of the solenoid valve to push the main valve directional valve core, rather than the pilot secondary pressure oil of the handle directly acting on the main valve core. Smoothness is achieved through proportional control.
This ensures smooth movement of the log gripper, improves operational efficiency, reduces fluctuations in the pilot pressure range, and enhances the stability of the movement.

Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The controller circuit is shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 The controller is a RC10-10 model controller of Rikoh, the first low-pressure sensor wire harness is connected with the controller 22 pin, the controller 56 pin and the controller 45 pin respectively, the low-pressure sensor valve group S6 port is connected with the second low-pressure sensor, and the second low-pressure sensor is connected with the controller 22 pin, the controller 56 pin and the controller 46 pin through a wire harness respectively. The controller 22 pin provides 5V constant voltage for the sensor, the controller 56 pin is the sensor analog ground, the controller 45 pin receives the closing pilot pressure of the wood grabber, and the controller 46 pin receives the opening pilot pressure of the wood grabber.
[0038] The controller is connected with the electromagnetic valve in addition to the above low-pressure sensor. The controller 35 pin receives the closing electromagnetic valve signal of the wood grabber and is connected with the first electromagnetic valve group A6 joint, and the controller 36 pin receives the opening electromagnetic valve signal of the wood grabber and is connected with the second electromagnetic valve group A5 joint. Figure 7 、 Figure 8 The electromagnetic valve structure and the hydraulic principle are shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 .
[0039] The electromagnetic valve is connected with the main valve in addition to the controller, and the first electromagnetic valve group A6 joint pilot pipeline is connected with the main valve P1 valve XBk port, and the second electromagnetic valve group A5 joint pilot pipeline is connected with the main valve P1 valve XAk port. Figure 9As shown, the main valve is a multi-way directional valve group, wherein the bucket valve is used as the opening and closing directional valve of the grabber, the XBk port of the bucket valve P1 of the main valve is connected to the first electromagnetic valve group A6, the XAk port of the bucket valve P1 of the main valve is connected to the second electromagnetic valve group A5, and Bk and Ak are respectively connected to the inlet and return ports of the grabber opening and closing oil cylinder.
[0040] Further, when the handle is swung to the left, the grabber is closed, and the specific logic is as follows: the pilot oil of the handle flows to the BI port on the low-pressure sensor valve group through the first oil port, at this time, the first low-pressure sensor on the S7 port of the low-pressure sensor valve group is stressed, the first low-pressure sensor inputs the grabber closing pilot pressure signal to the terminal of the controller 45, at this time, the grabber closing electromagnetic valve signal of the terminal 35 of the controller responds, the controller outputs proportional current to the first electromagnetic valve group A6, the electromagnetic valve of the A6 group is energized to open, the A6 group pilot oil flows to the XBk port of the main valve P1 through the A6 port to push the main valve P1 bucket valve to change direction, the high-pressure oil of the main valve flows from the Bk port to the Ak port and then flows out, at this time, the grabber is closed.
[0041] Further, when the handle is swung to the right, the grabber is opened, and the specific logic is as follows: the pilot oil of the handle flows to the BO port on the low-pressure sensor valve group through the third oil port, at this time, the second low-pressure sensor on the S6 port of the low-pressure sensor valve group is stressed, the second low-pressure sensor inputs the grabber opening pilot pressure signal to the terminal of the controller 46, at this time, the grabber opening electromagnetic valve signal of the terminal 36 of the controller responds, the controller outputs proportional current to the second electromagnetic valve group A5, the electromagnetic valve of the A5 group is energized to open, the A5 group pilot oil flows to the XAk port of the main valve P1 through the A5 port to push the main valve P1 bucket valve to change direction, the high-pressure oil of the main valve flows from the Ak port to the Bk port and then flows out, at this time, the grabber is opened; wherein the proportional current provided by the controller can be any current value, the electromagnet on the electromagnetic valve converts the current into mechanical force acting on the electromagnetic valve spool to overcome the return spring, as the current increases, the return spring is compressed, and the spool moves.
[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 10 The pilot secondary pressure of the handle is in the range of 0.64-2.26 MPa, and the pilot primary pressure and the pilot secondary pressure are conducted after the handle is pushed to the maximum stroke, the pressure jumps to 3.5 MPa in an instant, that is, the pilot secondary pressure range of the handle is 0.64-2.26 MPa and 3.5 MPa, and the upper limit pressure of 2.26 MPa in the range under the hydraulic control condition directly pushes the main valve spool (the pushing pressure of the main valve spool in the fully open state is about 2.3 MPa), considering the pressure loss environment, this pressure causes the action speed to decrease, and there is no transition between 2.26 MPa and 3.5 MPa, that is, there is no stepless pressure change, and the instantaneous step change of the pressure causes the action smoothness to decrease.
[0043] Further, as shown in Figure 11 The handle pilot secondary pressure interval 0.64~3.5MPa is converted into voltage signal by low pressure sensor and fed back to the input end of the controller, the output end of the controller outputs the current range value of 550~850mA to the electromagnetic valve, the current of 550~850mA of the electromagnetic valve energizes the coil to generate 2~4MPa of electromagnetic valve pilot oil pressure, so that the main valve reversing valve spool is indirectly pushed by the electromagnetic valve pilot oil pressure, instead of the handle pilot secondary pressure oil directly acting on the main valve spool, the upper limit value of the pilot pressure interval is increased by the controller to amplify the current, the speed efficiency under the pressure loss environment is maintained, and the pilot pressure interval is reduced by the controller to reduce the current range, and the smoothness of the action is ensured.
