AI Technical Summary
Existing energy-saving hydraulic systems for potential energy recovery have problems such as large pressure shocks and the inability to exchange hydraulic oil heat in walking beam machinery. In particular, during the descent process, gravitational potential energy is converted into hydraulic oil heat, resulting in energy waste and increased system cooling load.
An energy-saving hydraulic system for recovering potential energy of a stepping beam is adopted. By switching the directional valve group to control the hydraulic circuit, the accumulator group recovers the potential energy of the stepping beam. Combined with the proportional valve to control the flow, the system avoids the alternating switching of return oil throttling and inlet oil throttling, reduces pressure shock, and recovers the heat of the oil in the rodless chamber of the cylinder during the no-load descent.
It effectively recovers the gravitational potential energy of the walking beam, reduces system pressure shock, realizes the exchange of heat in the oil in the cylinder, simplifies the modification of the walking beam hydraulic system, and improves energy utilization efficiency.
