[0003] Construction machinery typically has multiple hydraulic systems. For example, a loader's hydraulic system can be divided into a steering hydraulic system, a working hydraulic system, and an extension hydraulic system. The steering hydraulic system is used for vehicle steering, the working hydraulic system is used for the operation of the working device, and the extension hydraulic system is a hydraulic system equipped to perform functions other than those of the working device. The extension hydraulic system and the working hydraulic system often have a mutually exclusive relationship, that is, when the working hydraulic system is working, the extension hydraulic system is not working, and vice versa.

[0004] The hydraulic flow rate of a working hydraulic system fluctuates within a wide range during operation. High flow rates are required for rapid movements, while low flow rates are needed for delicate or slow operations.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The specific implementation plan is described below with reference to the attached diagram.

[0032] like Figure 1 Figure 2As shown, the hydraulic system includes a first hydraulic system 10 with a priority valve, a first hydraulic pump 40 connected to the priority valve, a second hydraulic system 20 including a distribution valve, a second hydraulic pump 50, and an extended hydraulic system 30 including an extended directional valve 31. The extended directional valve 31 includes an inlet valve plate 312, an unloading valve plate 313, and at least one extended directional valve plate 311 for controlling the extended hydraulic actuator 32.

[0033] The inlet valve plate 312 has a switching valve 53 and a switching control valve 54 for controlling the switching valve 53. The unloading valve plate 313 has an unloading valve 62, an unloading control valve 63 for controlling the unloading valve 62, and interconnected inlet and outlet ports.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the extended directional valve plate 311, the inlet valve plate 312, and the unloading valve plate 313 are stacked in sequence and fixed together with bolts. Each extended directional valve plate 311, the inlet valve plate 312, and the unloading valve plate 313 is provided with a main oil inlet passage and an oil return passage.

[0035] The return oil passages of each valve plate in the extended directional valve 31 are interconnected, and the main inlet oil passages 51 of each extended directional valve plate 311 are sequentially connected. The second hydraulic pump 50 is connected to the inlet (P port) of the unloading coupling valve plate 313, and the outlet of the unloading coupling valve plate is connected to the main inlet oil passage 55 of the inlet coupling valve plate 312, which connects to the inlet of the switching valve 53. The inlet and outlet ports of the unloading valve 62 are connected to the main inlet oil passage 65 and the return oil passage of the unloading coupling valve plate, respectively. The connecting oil passage between the outlet of the unloading coupling valve plate and the inlet of the unloading coupling valve plate 313 is the main inlet oil passage 65 of the unloading coupling valve plate.

[0036] The unloading valve plate is equipped with a return oil port connected to the return oil circuit. This return oil port is connected to the hydraulic oil tank to realize the return oil of the hydraulic system. Alternatively, the return oil port can also be set on the inlet valve plate and connected to the return oil circuit, so that the return oil of the hydraulic system is led from the inlet valve plate to the hydraulic oil tank through the pipeline.

[0037] The EF port of the priority valve (not shown in the figure) is connected to the main oil inlet circuit 55 of the oil inlet valve plate. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the inlet valve plate 312 is arranged between the extended directional valve plate 311 and the unloading valve plate 313. The two ends of the inlet valve plate return oil passage 56 are respectively connected to the extended directional valve plate return oil passage 52 and the unloading valve plate return oil passage 64. The switching valve 53 is a two-position three-way hydraulic valve. The first oil outlet of the switching valve 53 is connected to the main inlet oil passage 51 of the adjacent extended directional valve plate, and the second oil outlet of the switching valve 53 is connected to the working oil inlet of the distribution valve 21. The oil inlet of the switching valve 53 can be selectively connected to either the first oil outlet or the second oil outlet.

[0038] The switching control valve 54 is a two-position three-way solenoid valve. A pressure reducing valve 57 and a relief valve 58 are provided in the inlet valve plate 312. The inlet of the pressure reducing valve 57 is connected to the main inlet oil passage 55 of the inlet valve plate. The first port of the switching control valve 54 is connected to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve 57. The second port of the switching control valve 54 is connected to the return oil passage 56 of the inlet valve plate. The third port of the switching control valve 54 is connected to the hydraulic control end of the switching valve 53. The third port of the switching control valve 54 can be selectively connected to either the first port or the third port.

[0039] The outlet of the relief valve 58 is connected to the return oil circuit 56 of the inlet valve plate, and the inlet of the relief valve 58 is connected to the outlet of the pressure reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve 57 provides a pressure oil source for the switching valve 53 to control the reversing, while the relief valve 58 plays a protective role, preventing the pressure at the first oil port of the switching control valve 54 from being too high.

[0040] Optionally, a first check valve 59 is provided on the main inlet oil passage 55 of the inlet valve plate, allowing unidirectional flow from the outlet of the unloading valve plate 313 to the main inlet oil passage 55. A second check valve 60 is provided on the main inlet oil passage 55, allowing unidirectional flow from the EF port of the priority valve to the main inlet oil passage 55. When the unloading valve 62 is opened for unloading, the first check valve 59 prevents high-pressure oil from flowing from the inlet of the switching valve 53 to the unloading valve 62. The second check valve 60 prevents high-pressure oil from flowing from the inlet of the switching valve 53 to the priority valve.

[0041] Optionally, a safety valve 61 is provided in the oil inlet valve plate 312, and the two oil ports of the safety valve 61 are connected to the oil outlet of the switching valve 53 and the oil return line of the oil inlet valve plate.

[0042] Optionally, the unloading control valve 63 is a two-position, two-way solenoid valve, with its two ports connected to the control chamber of the unloading valve 62 and the return oil passage 64 of the unloading interlock valve plate. When the unloading control valve 63 is open, the control chamber of the unloading valve 62 is connected to the return oil passage 64 of the unloading interlock valve plate via the unloading control valve 63, causing the unloading valve 62 to open. When the unloading control valve 63 is closed, the control chamber of the unloading valve 62 is filled with fluid, causing the unloading valve 62 to close.

[0043] In this embodiment, the switching valve 53 switches the pressure oil source between the extended hydraulic system 30 and the second hydraulic system 20. When the extended hydraulic system 30 is operating, the switching valve 53 connects its inlet to the first outlet, supplying pressure oil from the first hydraulic system 10 and the unloading valve plate 313 to the extended hydraulic system 30. When the second hydraulic system 20 is operating, the switching valve 53 connects its inlet to the second outlet, supplying pressure oil from the first hydraulic system 10 and the unloading valve plate 313 to the second hydraulic system 20. When the expansion hydraulic system 30 or the second hydraulic system 20 requires a large flow rate, the unloading control valve 63 controls the unloading valve 62 to close, and the pressure oil from the first hydraulic pump 40 and the second hydraulic pump 50 flows to the expansion hydraulic system 30 or the second hydraulic system 20 through the combined inlet flow. When the expansion hydraulic system 30 or the second hydraulic system 20 requires a small flow rate, the unloading control valve 63 controls the unloading valve 62 to open, and the pressure oil from the second hydraulic pump 50 is unloaded through the unloading valve plate 313, and the second hydraulic system 20 is only supplied with oil by the first hydraulic pump 40.

[0044] The first hydraulic pump 40 supplies oil to the first hydraulic system 10 via a priority valve (not shown in the figure), and its excess flow flows to the inlet valve plate 312 via the priority valve to supply the extended hydraulic system 30 or the second hydraulic system 20.

[0045] This embodiment also provides an engineering machine having the aforementioned hydraulic system. Optionally, the engineering machine is a loader, the first hydraulic system is a steering hydraulic system, and the second hydraulic system is a working hydraulic system.

[0046] In the first hydraulic system 10, the steering gear 11 controls the extension and retraction of the steering cylinder 12 to enable the loader to perform steering. The steering gear 11 is equipped with a priority valve. The pressure oil from the first hydraulic pump is supplied to the first hydraulic system 10 via the priority valve. The excess flow flows from the EF port of the priority valve to the oil inlet valve plate of the extended directional valve 31, and merges with the pressure oil from the second hydraulic pump to supply the extended hydraulic system or the loader working hydraulic system.
