Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a lever balancing mechanism, belonging to the field of hydraulic plunger pump control technology application. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic piston pumps typically employ a constant power control method to limit power, which is determined by the input power of the piston pump. In the formula, P represents the load, Q represents the flow rate, and η t Let represent the overall efficiency, and p be the input power of the plunger pump. As the calculation formula shows, to achieve a constant input power for the plunger pump, ensuring that the input power of the plunger pump is always lower than the output power of the engine or motor under all load conditions, when the overall efficiency remains constant, as the load on the plunger pump increases, the output flow rate of the plunger pump must decrease synchronously to ensure that the input power of the plunger pump remains constant.
[0003] To achieve the aforementioned constant power control, traditional piston pumps employ displacement feedback or spring force feedback. While both of these structures can effectively achieve constant power control, their complex structures, numerous parts, and high precision requirements result in high manufacturing costs, limiting the development of constant power control methods in piston pump applications.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the lever balancing mechanism provided by this utility model is locked onto the plunger pump by screws and three through holes 18 on the valve body. The roller in the support valve assembly inside the plunger pump is in contact with the raceway in the adjusting seat 7.
[0029] This utility model provides a lever balancing mechanism, comprising a valve body 16 with a mounting cavity, a screw plug 1 threadedly locked to the lower end of the mounting cavity of the valve body 16, a return spring 3 disposed in the mounting cavity, a valve core 5 installed in the valve body 16 with a small clearance fit, a pin 6 tangent to the conical surface of the inner hole of the valve core 5, an adjusting seat 7 fitted with the spherical surface of the upper end of the pin 6, a support pin 8 passing through the pin hole of the adjusting seat 7 and allowing the adjusting seat 7 to rotate flexibly, an adjusting screw 14 located above the adjusting seat 7, and a spring 10 disposed at the bottom of the adjusting screw 14 and fixed by a third spring seat 9 and a fourth spring seat 11. As the swashplate angle of the plunger pump connected to the adjusting seat 7 changes, the axial movement of the valve core 5 is controlled by the return spring 3, the spring 10, and the adjusting screw 14, thereby adjusting the displacement of the plunger pump, that is, achieving constant power control.
[0030] The adjusting seat 7 has concave spherical surfaces at the mating points with the ejector pin 6 and the fourth spring seat 11. The upper spherical surface of the ejector pin 6 mates with the upper concave spherical surface, and the bottom of the fourth spring seat 11 mates with the lower concave spherical surface of the adjusting seat 7. The adjusting seat 7 also has a raceway for the movement of the rollers.
[0031] The reset spring 3 is fixed by a first spring seat 2 located below it and a second spring seat 4 located above it. The lower end of the first spring seat 2 is limited by a screw plug 1, and the upper end of the second spring seat 4 is limited by a spherical fit with the valve core 5 installed in the mounting cavity.
[0032] The support pin 8 has a groove for installing an O-ring. The support pin 8 is installed in the valve body 16, and is limited by a retaining spring 19 through a hole, with an O-ring for sealing.
[0033] The nut 12 is threaded onto the valve body 16, and the adjusting screw 14 is threaded onto the nut 12. The adjusting screw 14 can adjust the preload of the spring 10.
[0034] Nut 13, sealing cap 15, and O-ring are used to seal the hydraulic oil in the preload adjustment structure.
[0035] The spacer 17 is installed in the valve body 16 via an interference fit, supporting the support pin 8. The principle of the constant power control variable of the lever balance mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0036] The piston pump load oil pressure P is connected to port P1 of the support valve 200 through an internal oil passage in the servo chamber 100, and also to port P2 of the lever balance mechanism through an oil passage. Point A in the support pin 8 serves as the fulcrum of the lever balance mechanism. The load oil pressure exerts a force F3 on the adjusting seat 7 at the support valve 200, with a lever arm of L2. The return spring 3 exerts a force F1 on the adjusting seat 7, with a lever arm of L1. The spring 10 exerts a force F2 on the adjusting seat 7, with a lever arm of L1. Therefore, the following lever balance relationship exists for the adjusting seat 7:
[0037] F1×L1+P×ΔS×L2=F2×L1. Due to the unequal diameters of the two steps of the valve core inside the support valve 200, there is an area difference ΔS. The force F3 formed by the load oil pressure P on the regulating seat 7 is ΔS×P, and the direction is towards the regulating seat 7. When the load oil pressure P is low, the pressure F3 on the roller is generated on the valve core of the support valve 200. The torque generated on the regulating seat 7 under the L2 lever arm is insufficient to overcome the torque formed by the return spring 3 and the spring 10 under the L1 lever arm. The regulating seat 7 does not rotate clockwise around the fulcrum A of the support pin 8, and the valve core 5 cannot move upward. The load oil waiting at the P1 port is blocked by the shoulder of the valve core 5 and cannot be connected to the oil passage of the servo large chamber 400. At this time, under the action of the compression force of its own large return spring 500 and the hydraulic pressure formed by the load oil in the servo small chamber 100, the swashplate swing angle of the plunger pump is the maximum, and the plunger pump outputs at the maximum flow rate.
[0038] When the load oil pressure P continues to rise, the force F3 exerted by the roller of the support valve 200 on the adjusting seat 7 increases. Under the lever arm L2, the torque formed is greater than the torque formed by the return spring 3 and the spring 10 under the lever arm L1. The adjusting seat 7 rotates clockwise around point A, the spring 10 is compressed, the return spring 3 is relaxed, the valve core 5 moves upward, and the load oil pressure P waiting at the lever balance structure is connected to the oil passage of the servo large chamber 400. The load oil enters the servo large chamber. At this time, the servo large chamber 400 and the servo small chamber 100 are simultaneously filled with hydraulic oil. Due to the area difference, the swashplate angle begins to decrease, and the output flow of the piston pump decreases. At this time, the desired effect is achieved. Constant power control, meaning that the higher the load pressure, the lower the output flow, is the qualitative analysis of the constant power control by the lever balancing mechanism.
[0039] like Figure 4As shown, when the swashplate angle decreases, the roller of the support valve 200 moves upward along the raceway of the adjusting seat 7. Assuming that the force F3 acting on the adjusting seat 7 is a fixed value under the same load oil pressure P, the upward movement of the roller reduces the force arm L2. Therefore, when L2 shrinks to a certain length, the resulting torque is insufficient to overcome the torque formed by the return spring 3 and spring 10 under the force arm L1. The valve core 5 then moves downward, disconnecting the load oil pressure P waiting at the lever balance structure from the servo large chamber 400 oil passage. Under the action of the servo small chamber 100 and the large return spring 300, the swashplate angle increases again. With the increased swashplate angle, the support valve 200 moves downward again, and the force arm L2 of F3 becomes longer, while spring 10 is released. Therefore, the torque formed by F3 overcomes the torque formed by the return spring 3 and spring 10 under the force arm L1, causing the valve core 5 to move upward and the plunger pump displacement to decrease again. This cycle repeats continuously. Therefore, it can be seen that in this lever balance structure, the plunger pump corresponds to a fixed flow output under a fixed load. It should be noted that by adjusting the screw 14, the preload of the spring 10 can be adjusted, which means that the constant power value of the plunger pump can be adjusted. This is the quantitative analysis of the constant power control by the lever balance mechanism.
