Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to hydraulic control technical field, especially relates to a high altitude operation platform and hydraulic walking system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The walking oil circuit of the liquid-driven self-propelled scissor aerial work platform is generally gear pump oil outlet, and oil liquid reaches the cycloidal motor after passing through the forward and reverse switching electromagnetic valve and the walking balance valve. When walking at high speed, the two cycloidal motors are generally connected in series, and the oil liquid first flows through the first motor and then flows through the second motor. When walking in a straight line, the left and right wheels have the same speed, but when turning, the left and right wheels will have a speed difference because of the inner and outer wheels, which in turn causes the demand flow of the two motors to be different.

[0003] If the oil liquid first flows through the outer wheel and then flows through the inner wheel, the flow of the motor corresponding to the outer wheel will be greater than the flow of the motor corresponding to the inner wheel because the speed of the outer wheel is greater than the speed of the inner wheel. If the input flow of the motor corresponding to the inner wheel is greater than its demand flow, the inlet pressure of the motor corresponding to the inner wheel will be high, and long-term high pressure may affect the service life of the motor.

[0004] If the oil liquid first flows through the inner wheel and then flows through the outer wheel, the flow of the motor corresponding to the inner wheel will be less than the flow of the motor corresponding to the outer wheel because the speed of the inner wheel is less than the speed of the outer wheel. If the input flow of the motor corresponding to the outer wheel is less than its demand flow, the inlet of the motor corresponding to the outer wheel will be empty, the motor will have an abnormal sound when walking, and may cause the whole vehicle to vibrate, which seriously affects the operation experience. The mainstream solution to the above problems is to connect a one-way valve to the main oil return line at the inlet of the second motor through which the oil liquid flows. When the motor is empty, the inlet pressure of the motor will be less than the pressure on the main oil return line, the one-way valve will open, and part of the oil on the main oil return line will be supplied to the inlet of the second motor, avoiding the motor from being empty. Moreover, a one-way throttle valve is generally arranged on the main oil return line to increase the oil return back pressure, which can better supply oil to the second motor, but the increase of the oil return back pressure leads to the increase of the pump outlet pressure, which in turn leads to the increase of energy consumption.

[0025] When walking forward, the power source outputs hydraulic oil, the oil enters the electromagnetic valve 3 through the first port of the electromagnetic valve 3, flows out from the third port of the electromagnetic valve 3 and sequentially flows through the second balance valve 5, the second motor 10, the first motor 9, the first balance valve 4, and then flows back to the electromagnetic valve 3 through the second port of the electromagnetic valve 3, and then returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the main oil return path. When the first motor 9 appears to be suction, the inlet pressure of the first motor 9 will be less than the outlet pressure, the check valve 7 is opened, and the outlet oil of the first motor 9 enters the inlet of the first motor 9 through the low-pressure side shuttle valve 6 and the check valve 7 for oil supplement; when the first motor 9 appears to be pressure, the inlet pressure of the first motor 9 will be greater than the sum of the inlet pressure of the second motor 10 and the spring pre-pressure of the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, the hydraulic control reversing valve 8 is opened, and part of the flow of the inlet of the first motor 9 flows to the main oil return path through the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, thereby reducing the pressure.

[0026] When walking backward, the power source outputs hydraulic oil, the oil enters the electromagnetic valve 3 through the first port of the electromagnetic valve 3, flows out from the second port of the electromagnetic valve 3 and sequentially flows through the first balance valve 4, the first motor 9, the second motor 10, the second balance valve 5, and then flows back to the electromagnetic valve 3 through the third port of the electromagnetic valve 3, and then returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the main oil return path. When the second motor 10 appears to be suction, the inlet pressure of the second motor 10 will be less than the outlet pressure, the check valve 7 is opened, and the outlet oil of the second motor 10 enters the inlet of the second motor 10 through the low-pressure side shuttle valve 6 and the check valve 7 for oil supplement; when the second motor 10 appears to be pressure, the inlet pressure of the second motor 10 will be greater than the sum of the inlet pressure of the first motor 9 and the spring pre-pressure of the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, the hydraulic control reversing valve 8 is opened, and part of the flow of the inlet of the second motor 10 flows to the main oil return path through the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, thereby reducing the pressure.

[0036] When walking forward, the power source outputs hydraulic oil, the oil enters the electromagnetic valve 3 through the first port of the electromagnetic valve 3, flows out from the third port of the electromagnetic valve 3 and sequentially flows through the second balance valve 5, the second motor 10, the first motor 9, the first balance valve 4, and then flows back to the electromagnetic valve 3 through the second port of the electromagnetic valve 3, and then returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the main oil return path. When the first motor 9 appears to be suction, the inlet pressure of the first motor 9 will be less than the outlet pressure, the check valve 7 is opened, the outlet oil of the first motor 9 enters the inlet of the first motor 9 through the first balance valve 4, the low-pressure side shuttle valve 6 and the check valve 7 for oil supplement; when the first motor 9 appears to be pressure, the inlet pressure of the first motor 9 will be greater than the sum of the inlet pressure of the second motor 10 and the spring pre-pressure of the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, the hydraulic control reversing valve 8 is opened, and part of the flow of the inlet of the first motor 9 flows to the main oil return path through the hydraulic control reversing valve 8, thereby reducing the pressure.

[0037] When walking backward, the power source outputs hydraulic oil, the oil enters the electromagnetic valve 3 through the first port of the electromagnetic valve 3, flows out from the second port of the electromagnetic valve 3 and sequentially flows through the first balance valve 4, the first motor 9, the second motor 10, the second balance valve 5, and then flows back to the electromagnetic valve 3 through the third port of the electromagnetic valve 3, and then returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the main oil return path.
