[0002] Skid steer loaders are widely used in situations with limited space, uneven terrain, and frequent switching of work devices. The quality of the boom control system directly determines the overall performance of the machine. Hydraulic steering offers advantages such as rapid response and low cost, but it is susceptible to fluctuations in pilot pressure, cannot adequately handle micro-motion, requires high fluid cleanliness, and results in a poor user experience.
[0003] The existing patent, number 2023233527176, entitled "An Electro-hydraulic Proportional Multi-way Valve with Floating Position," has the following shortcomings:
[0004] 1. The electro-hydraulic proportional multi-way valve mentioned in the patent does not fully consider the complex operating conditions of the entire vehicle. The floating position does not have a clear difference in pilot pressure, which affects the micro-movement of the hydraulic cylinder and the driver's operating feel.
[0005] 2. No emergency measures were considered in case of solenoid valve failure.
[0006] 3. The issue of oil easily drawing in air during rapid cylinder operation was not considered. Utility Model Content

This valve enables electromagnetic control of various actions of the loader boom, including lifting, neutralizing, lowering, and floating. The valve core reversing can be achieved by remotely controlling the current of the proportional pressure reducing valve to accurately control the pilot pressure acting on the valve stem. Furthermore, the pilot pressure can be controlled by adjusting the current of the proportional pressure reducing valve. Since the force-bearing area of the valve core remains constant, the opening area between the valve core and the valve core hole groove can be accurately controlled, ultimately controlling the flow rate through the hydraulic valve.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.
[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an electro-hydraulic control valve with emergency reversing includes: a main valve body 1, an electro-hydraulic control end cover 2, a hydraulic control end cover 3, and an electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4. The two electro-hydraulic control end covers 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main valve body 1. The top of the main valve body 1 is symmetrically provided with working ports for connecting to the oil cylinder 11. The main valve body 1 is also provided with an oil inlet and an oil outlet. The main valve body 1 and the electro-hydraulic control end cover 2 are provided with valve cores 9 inside. The two ends of the valve core 9 are arranged in the pilot control chamber of the electro-hydraulic control end cover 3. The hydraulic control end cover 3 is installed on the electro-hydraulic control end cover 2 and communicates with the pilot control chamber of the electro-hydraulic control end cover 2.

[0033] Both the electronically controlled end cover 2 and the hydraulically controlled end cover 3 are equipped with pilot oil ports, which are connected to the pilot control chamber in the electronically controlled end cover 2 through oil passages. The pilot oil ports are connected to external oil circuits, and the valve core 9 is moved and reversed by the introduction of hydraulic oil.
[0034] The electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4 is installed on the electro-control end cover 2. The electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4 controls the opening and closing of the oil passage between the pilot oil port of the electro-control end cover 2 and the pilot control chamber of the electro-control end cover 2.

[0037] The main valve body 1 is a valve body with a floating function.
[0038] The pilot control chamber on the hydraulic end cap 3, the pilot control chamber on the electro-hydraulic end cap 3, and the valve core 9 are located on the same straight line.
[0039] The electro-hydraulic control valve with emergency reversing also includes: a buffer replenishing valve 5, which is installed on the main valve body 1, and the two buffer replenishing valves 5 are respectively set on the oil passage between the working oil port and the oil outlet.

[0041] The two hydraulic end caps are provided with a double-layer sliding sleeve structure or a single-layer sliding sleeve 35 structure. Each hydraulic end cap can only be provided with one set of double-layer sliding sleeve structure or single-layer sliding sleeve 35 structure. In this example, the hydraulic end cap on the left side is provided with a double-layer sliding sleeve structure, and the hydraulic end cap on the right side is provided with a single-layer sliding sleeve 35 structure.
[0042] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the double-layer sliding sleeve structure includes: a sub-sliding sleeve 31, a female sliding sleeve 32, a sub-spring 33, and a female spring 34. The sub-sliding sleeve 31 is slidably installed on the sliding end of the female sliding sleeve 32 to form a sub-sliding sleeve 32. The sub-sliding sleeve 32 is slidably disposed in the pilot control cavity, so that the sub-sliding sleeve 31 is fitted onto one end of the valve core 9. The other end of the female sliding sleeve 32 is abutted against the bottom of the pilot control cavity of the hydraulic control end cover 3. The female sliding sleeve 32 is provided with an oil passage cavity, and an oil passage hole is provided on the section away from the sub-sliding sleeve 31. The oil passage hole is aligned with the pilot oil port of the hydraulic control end cover 3. The female spring 34 is disposed in the female sliding sleeve 32 and the pilot control cavity, and the sub-spring 33 is disposed between the oil passage cavity of the female sliding sleeve 32 and the sub-sliding sleeve 31.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the single-layer sliding sleeve 35 structure includes: a single-layer sliding sleeve 35 and a single-layer spring 36. The single-layer sliding sleeve 35 and the single-layer spring 36 are installed in the pilot control cavity, so that the single-layer sliding sleeve 35 is fitted onto the end of the valve core 9.
[0044] The end of the valve core 9 connected to the single-layer sliding sleeve 35 is a boss structure. One end of the single-layer sliding sleeve 35 is provided with an oil passage hole, which is aligned with the pilot oil port of the hydraulic control end cover 3. A movable seal is provided between the valve core 9 and the pilot control cavity of the electric control end cover 2, so that the end of the boss structure of the valve core 9 and the pilot control cavity of the electric control end cover 2 form a common oil cavity. The end of the boss structure is provided with a T-shaped oil passage 91. A one-way valve 92 is provided in the T-shaped oil passage 91. The vertical oil passage in the T-shaped oil passage 91 is directly connected to the common oil cavity. One end of the horizontal oil passage is connected to the vertical oil passage through the one-way valve 92, and the other end is provided in the single-layer sliding sleeve 35.
[0045] A filter damping connector 8 is installed at the pilot oil port of the electronic control end cover 2. The electronic control end cover 2 is also equipped with a detection oil port for connecting a pressure sensor to monitor the pilot pressure in real time.
[0046] An electro-hydraulic control valve with emergency reversing is installed in the high-pressure pipeline of the skid steer loader, so that the pilot oil ports on the electro-control end cover 2 and the hydraulic control end cover 3, and the oil inlet, oil outlet and oil return ports on the main valve body 1 are all connected to the high-pressure pipeline of the skid steer loader. The two working oil ports on the main valve body 1 are connected to the oil ports on the cylinder 11 respectively. The detection oil port on the electro-control end cover 2 is connected to a pressure sensor, so that the cab can monitor the pilot pressure in real time.
[0047] The electro-hydraulic control valve with emergency reversing can realize both hydraulic and electro-hydraulic reversing modes and can realize valve core 9 reversing.
[0048] When valve core 9 is in the middle position, oil cylinder 11 must not move up or down, and at this time the oil is supplied to the other actuators.
[0049] Electrically controlled commutation: such as Figure 1 As shown, when valve core 9 is in the neutral position, the right-side electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4 is energized, and oil enters through the right-side pilot port, passing through the filter damping connector 8 and the electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4 into the pilot control chamber. Since F=P×S, the cross-sectional area of valve core 9 is constant. At this time, the pilot pressure depends on the spring force (friction is negligible). As the current increases, the oil pressure acting on the cross-section of valve core 9 continuously increases, pushing valve core 9 to switch directions. The first stroke of valve core 9 is X1. The oil inlet of the main valve body 1 is connected to the working oil port A6, entering the large chamber of the oil cylinder 11. The outlet of the main valve body 1... The oil port is connected to the working oil port B7 to unload the small chamber of the oil cylinder 11. The buffer oil replenishment valve 5 can act as a pressure limiting protection element and prevent the small chamber of the oil cylinder 11 from sucking in air due to excessive speed. Similarly, the electric control reversing principle of the left end cover is the same, so it will not be described again. As the pilot pressure increases, the second stroke of the valve core 9 is X1 + X2. At this time, the valve core 9 enters the floating position, and the working oil port A6 and the working oil port B7 are directly connected to the oil outlet of the main valve body 1. There is no pressure in either the large or small chamber of the boom cylinder 11, and the boom can float with the height of the ground, which is safer and more energy-efficient.
[0050] Hydraulic reversing: Due to the complex working conditions faced by the loader, when the electro-proportional pressure reducing valve 4 fails, all oil ports on the electronic control end cover 2 can be manually closed, and oil can be introduced from the pilot oil port of the hydraulic control end cover 3. The hydraulic control end cover 3 can be used for reversing, which can be used in an emergency.
[0051] Meanwhile, shims can be added or removed from the springs on both sides of the hydraulic control end cap 3 as needed, thereby adjusting the displacement of the valve core 9 and the pre-compression of the spring, thus changing the opening pressure of the valve core 9 during reversal, making it suitable for more working conditions and saving energy and reducing costs.
[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
