[0033] The pilot control system includes a pilot gear pump 18, a pilot hydraulic handle 1 21, a pilot hydraulic handle 22, and a pilot control valve assembly 20. The pressure output end of the pilot gear pump 18 is connected to the pilot control valve assembly 20. The pilot hydraulic handle 1 21 and the pilot hydraulic handle 22 are connected to the hydraulic circuit in the pilot control valve assembly 20. The pilot control valve assembly 20 is equipped with a pilot main solenoid valve 2007 and multiple solenoid directional valves. The pilot hydraulic handles and multiple solenoid valves are connected to the pilot main solenoid valve. Behind 2007; the hydraulic signal output by the pilot control valve group 20 is connected to the pilot chamber of each proportional valve core in the main control valve 6 to realize the pilot control of each actuator in the main control system; multiple solenoid directional valves include: gripper left-turn solenoid valve 2001, gripper right-turn solenoid valve 2002, car body lowering solenoid valve 2003, car body raising solenoid valve 2004, gripper tightening solenoid valve 2005 and gripper loosening solenoid valve 2006, which respectively control the action direction or state switching of each mechanism;
[0034] In the hydraulic circuit, to ensure the safety and stability of the system operation, a pilot filter 2010 is provided at the oil inlet port of the pilot control valve group 20, a pilot main relief valve 2008 is provided between the outlet of the pilot filter 2010 and the return oil circuit, a check valve 1 2009 is provided at the rear end of the filter, and a check valve 2 2011 for providing bypass protection is provided in parallel on the pilot filter 2010.
[0035] The main control system has a left overflow valve 601 in the left loop and a right overflow valve 614 in the right loop. In the left loop, buffer valve 603 and buffer valve 604 are respectively installed in the two oil circuits connected to the boom cylinder 7.

[0036] In addition, to ensure the quality of hydraulic oil, a suction filter 2 is installed between gear pump 3 and oil tank 1, a suction filter 2 16 is installed between gear pump 2 15 and oil tank 1, and a suction filter 3 17 is installed between pilot gear pump 18 and oil tank 1; the outlet of gear pump 3 is connected to high pressure filter 4, the outlet of gear pump 2 15 is connected to high pressure filter 2 14, and the outlet of pilot gear pump 18 is connected to high pressure filter 3 19.
[0037] A radiator 5 is installed on the return oil line of each control link of the main control valve 6 to reduce the temperature of the hydraulic oil and ensure the long-term stable operation of the system.
[0038] In the main control system, the left and right circuits are supplied with oil by gear pump 3 and gear pump 15 respectively, so they can work independently. That is, the actuators driven by them can move simultaneously. For example, the boom cylinder 7 and stick cylinder 12 can move simultaneously, as can the boom cylinder 7 and turret slewing cylinder 13, to achieve compound motion, improve machine operating efficiency, and enhance the operator's experience. Moreover, the various hydraulic actions of the palm truck are distributed evenly to the two gear pumps, reducing the working time and labor intensity of the gear pumps, increasing their lifespan, and extending the fault-free operation time of the hydraulic system. The control methods of each hydraulic actuator are as follows: hydraulic proportional control of boom cylinder 7, hydraulic proportional control of bucket cylinder 8, switch control of grab tension cylinder 9, switch control of truck bed lifting cylinder 10, switch control of grab slewing motor 11, hydraulic proportional control of stick cylinder 12, and hydraulic proportional control of turret slewing cylinder 13.
[0039] See Figure 2 The following explanation uses the combined action of boom cylinder 7 and stick cylinder 12 as an example:
[0040] The pilot chamber b1 of the boom control linkage 602 receives a proportional pressure signal, and the valve opening can be proportionally adjusted, thereby realizing the proportional control of the extension and retraction of the boom cylinder 7. The gear pump 3 draws oil from the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the suction filter 2, and the pressure oil it outputs passes through the high pressure filter 4 and the lower channel of the boom control linkage 602 in sequence, and enters the lower chamber of the boom cylinder 7 to drive the cylinder to extend. At the same time, the return oil from the upper chamber of the boom cylinder 7 flows through the lower channel of the boom control linkage 602, through the radiator 5, and finally returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1. The left overflow valve 601 set in the left circuit is used to control the system pressure and play a safety protection role. The buffer valve 603 and buffer valve 604 set in the oil circuit of the two chambers of the boom cylinder 7 are used to protect the cylinder. When the oil supply to one chamber of the cylinder is insufficient due to excessive movement speed, the one-way valve built into the buffer valve can automatically replenish the oil to prevent the cavitation phenomenon.
[0041] Meanwhile, the valve core pilot chamber b6 of the boom control linkage 610 receives a proportional pressure signal, and its valve core opening can also be proportionally adjusted to realize the proportional control of the extension and retraction of the boom cylinder 12; the gear pump 15 draws oil from the hydraulic oil tank 1 through the suction filter 16, and the pressure oil it outputs passes through the high pressure filter 14 and the lower channel of the boom control linkage 610 in sequence, and enters the lower chamber of the boom cylinder 12 to drive the cylinder to extend; the return oil from the upper chamber of the boom cylinder 12 flows through the lower channel of the boom control linkage 610, through the radiator 5, and finally returns to the hydraulic oil tank 1;
[0042] Through the above control method, the boom cylinder 7 and stick cylinder 12 can be operated simultaneously, and their pressure and flow do not interfere with each other during operation, thus enabling the palm crane mechanism to complete compound actions.
[0043] The pilot control system provides pilot control pressure to the main control valve 6. The pilot pressure signal is divided into two categories: the first category is the on / off hydraulic signal. The main control valve 6 core controlled by this type of signal has three fixed positions: upper, middle and lower. This meets the control requirements of the palm truck hydraulic actuator for simple on / off actions and achieves the expected function under the premise of being economical and practical. The three actions of the palm truck's lifting and lowering of the truck bed, tightening and loosening of the grab handle, and rotating of the grab handle are all controlled by the on / off hydraulic signal. The corresponding solenoid directional valves include: grab handle left-turn solenoid valve 2001, grab handle right-turn solenoid valve 2002, truck bed lowering solenoid valve 2003, truck bed raising solenoid valve 2004, grab handle tightening solenoid valve 2005, and grab handle loosening solenoid valve 2006.
[0044] The second type is hydraulic proportional control signal. The four sets of actions of boom, bucket, stick, and turret swing have an important impact on the comfort of the vehicle's operation and the smoothness of its operation. Therefore, hydraulic proportional control signal is adopted. The proportional valve cores in boom control link 602, bucket control link 605, stick control link 610, and turret swing control link 613 can be adjusted proportionally with the pilot pressure to realize the proportional control of the actuator.
[0045] Pilot hydraulic handle 21 is used to control the boom and bucket movements. This handle can move in four directions: forward, backward, left, and right, corresponding to four proportional movements. The pressure signal output by the handle is proportional to its movement angle. Therefore, the pressure in the corresponding valve core pilot chamber in the main control valve 6 can also be adjusted proportionally to achieve controllable ratio between valve core opening and actuator speed. Pilot hydraulic handle 22 works similarly.
[0046] See Figure 2 Taking the boom descent and the grab's leftward rotation as examples, the basic working principle of the pilot oil circuit is explained:
[0047] First, after the pilot main solenoid valve 2007 is energized, it switches to the right position. The pilot gear pump 18 draws oil from the oil tank 1 through the suction filter 17. Its output pressure oil flows sequentially through the high pressure filter 19, the pilot filter 2010, and the check valve 2009, and then through the switched pilot main solenoid valve 2007 to enter the grab handle left-hand solenoid valve 2001 or output a pressure signal from the pilot hydraulic handle. The pilot main relief valve 2008 in the system is used to limit the pilot system pressure and play a protective role. When the grab handle left-hand solenoid valve 2001 is energized, the pilot chamber of the grab handle rotation control link 608 in the main control valve 6 receives a hydraulic signal and drives the grab handle rotation motor 11 to achieve a left-hand rotation action. At the same time, when the pilot hydraulic handle is moved forward, the corresponding pilot chamber in the boom control link 602 receives a proportional pressure signal, thereby controlling the boom cylinder 7 to achieve a lowering action.
[0048] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
