Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tailgates, and in particular to a high and low pressure system for a tailgate device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of logistics loading and unloading equipment, the tailgate, as a crucial load-bearing mechanism connecting trucks and ground cargo, directly impacts loading and unloading efficiency, equipment safety, and truck bed lifespan through its power system design. Traditional tailgate power systems generally employ a single pressure mode, typically high-pressure hydraulic drive. While this can meet basic lifting requirements, the single high-pressure system maintains high-pressure output even when the tailgate is retracted or extended from the truck bed, resulting in excessive hydraulic impact. Over time, this can easily cause deformation of the truck bed structure or fatigue damage to connecting components, especially in scenarios with frequent loading and unloading. Furthermore, the high-pressure system drives the tailgate lifting and lowering under no-load conditions, leading to significant energy waste. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a high-low voltage system for a tailgate device, which can solve the energy waste problem of traditional single high-voltage systems, and reduce ineffective energy consumption in low-voltage mode under non-load-bearing scenarios.
[0004] A high and low pressure system for a tailgate device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lifting device and a telescopic device connected to each other, and a hydraulic device for providing hydraulic power to the lifting device and the telescopic device. The lifting device is used to drive the tailgate device to lift and lower, and the telescopic device is used to drive the lifting device to retract into or extend out of the bottom of the vehicle body. The lifting device includes a hydraulic cylinder, and the telescopic device includes a linear motion component and a hydraulic motor that drives the linear motion component. The hydraulic device includes a hydraulic pump, a supply oil circuit and a return oil circuit connected to the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump is connected to a main pipeline. The supply oil circuit includes a first pressure pipeline and a second pressure pipeline. The first pressure pipeline is used to supply hydraulic oil to the hydraulic cylinder, and the second pressure pipeline is used to supply hydraulic oil to the hydraulic motor. A two-position three-way valve is connected between the main pipeline, the first pressure pipeline and the second pressure pipeline. The return oil circuit includes a first return oil pipeline and a second return oil pipeline connected to the main pipeline. The first return oil pipeline has a first two-position two-way valve and a first overflow valve arranged sequentially along the hydraulic oil flow direction, and the second return oil pipeline has a second two-position two-way valve.
[0005] The high and low voltage system of the tailgate device according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0006] 1. This utility model, by setting up an oil supply circuit including a first pressure pipe and a second pressure pipe, and by setting up a return oil circuit including a first return oil pipe and a second return oil pipe, allows the hydraulic pump to generate high-pressure hydraulic oil, which is then transported via the main pipeline. A two-position three-way valve switches the transport position of the main pipeline, enabling the high-pressure hydraulic oil to flow to the first pressure pipe. When the tailgate is under load, the high-pressure hydraulic oil is delivered to the hydraulic cylinder, which drives the tailgate to rise under high pressure, meeting the power requirements for heavy-duty operations. Furthermore, the first two-position two-way valve can change the on / off state of the first return oil pipe; when the tailgate retracts into or extends from the bottom of the truck bed, the first return oil pipe... The hydraulic oil in the main pipeline passes through the first return oil pipeline and the first throttle valve, reducing the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the main pipeline. This allows the tailgate device to be raised and lowered to a certain height under low pressure. At the same time, the main pipeline uses a two-position three-way valve to switch the delivery position, allowing the low-pressure hydraulic oil in the main pipeline to flow to the second pressure pipeline. This causes the hydraulic motor to operate at low pressure, allowing the tailgate device to retract into or extend from the bottom of the truck bed, avoiding excessive hydraulic shock to the truck bed. In addition, the second two-position two-way valve can change the open and closed state of the second return oil pipeline. When the tailgate device is lowered without load, the second return oil pipeline is open, and the hydraulic oil in the main pipeline flows through the second return oil pipeline, depressurizing the hydraulic cylinder and allowing the tailgate device to descend to the ground, reducing energy consumption.
[0007] 2. This utility model's dual system, through intelligent switching between high and low voltage modes, not only meets the power requirements of heavy-duty operations but also optimizes equipment protection and energy efficiency. It is suitable for practical scenarios such as logistics loading and unloading, embodying a balance between functionality and economy.

[0048] In summary, the working principle of a high and low voltage system for a tailgate device 390, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,as follows:
[0049] The hydraulic pump 150 generates high-pressure hydraulic oil, which is transported through the main pipeline 160. The main pipeline 160 uses a two-position three-way valve 190 to switch the transport position, so that the high-pressure hydraulic oil in the main pipeline 160 can be transported to the first pressure pipeline 170. When the tail plate is under load, the high-pressure hydraulic oil can be transported to the hydraulic cylinder 130.

[0050] In addition, the first two-position two-way valve 220 can change the on / off state of the first return oil pipe 200. When the tailgate is retracted or extended from the bottom of the car body, the first return oil pipe 200 is open, and the hydraulic oil in the main pipe 160 passes through the first return oil pipe 200 and the first throttle valve 370, reducing the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the main pipe 160, so that the tailgate device 390 can be raised and lowered to a certain height under low pressure.

[0051] In addition, the second two-position two-way valve 240 can change the on and off state of the second return oil pipe 210. When the tail plate device 390 is descending under no-load, the second return oil pipe 210 is open, and the hydraulic oil of the main pipe 160 passes through the second return oil pipe 210, and the hydraulic cylinder 130 is depressurized, so that the tail plate device 390 can be lowered to the ground, reducing energy consumption.
