TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of multiway valve, concretely relates to a kind of load-sensitive valve group and multiway valve for engineering machinery of double pump confluence. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional open-center multiway valve group has long existed structural design redundancy and energy waste problem in hydraulic system. Its unloading oil circuit usually adopts single long path oil return design, for example, when unloading in the middle position, it needs to flow through multiple valve pieces and complex oil passages in turn, which leads to significant increase in pressure loss, especially when double pumps (P1, P2) are unloading simultaneously, energy loss is further intensified. In addition, to meet the needs of different working conditions, the traditional valve group often uses multiple valve cores in parallel or series configuration, for example, large flow action needs to increase additional confluence valve group, and small flow control needs independent adjustment unit. This "one-size-fits-all" design not only occupies the installation space of host machine, but also leads to system response lag due to poor coordination between valve cores, which is difficult to meet the needs of engineering machinery for rapid start and stop and dynamic load switching. According to statistics, the energy loss of such system when unloading in the middle position accounts for 15%-20% of the total power, which seriously restricts the improvement of equipment energy efficiency.
[0003] The flow and pressure control of traditional multiway valve group depends on external regulating valve or fixed throttle design, which lacks dynamic adaptability. For example, when double pumps confluence, manual or mechanical linkage switching is needed, which leads to oil supply delay and flow fluctuation, and cannot accurately match the instantaneous large flow demand of lifting working condition. Load-sensitive control is usually realized through external pressure compensation valve, which has slow response speed, low adjustment precision, and is easy to cause pressure oscillation or underload problem. More importantly, to consider different actuators (such as steering and lifting), the conventional valve group often uses "full flow through" design, that is, all actions depend on the same main oil circuit, which leads to a large amount of hydraulic energy being wasted when small flow is operated, and the system generates a lot of heat. These problems not only reduce the reliability of equipment, but also accelerate the wear of seals and valve cores due to frequent overload and pressure impact, significantly shortening the service life of hydraulic components.

[0043] The working principle and working process of the double-pump combined load sensitive valve group and the multi-way valve for engineering machinery are briefly described below.
[0044] As shown in Figure 5 The reversing valve rod 7 is in the middle position: when the mechanical equipment does not work, the electromagnetic valve 10 is not powered and is in the normally closed state, and the electromagnetic valve oil channel is closed. The oil pump one P1 is unloaded through the oil inlet valve piece one 1, the priority valve core 4 and the P1 oil channel 11 of the combined valve piece 5 through the oil return port T; the oil pump two P2 is unloaded through the oil inlet valve piece two 2, the reversing valve piece 6 and the P2 oil channel 12 of the combined valve piece 5, at this time, the P2 oil channel of the combined valve piece 5 is closed, and the LS2 channel of the oil inlet valve piece two 2 is communicated with the oil return port T, so that the oil pump two P2 is unloaded through the three-way flow regulating valve 3 in the oil inlet valve piece two 2 and is returned to the tank through the T port of the combined valve piece 5, at this time, the oil pump one P1 and the oil pump two P2 are in the middle position and are unloaded. Compared with the conventional open center multi-way valve group, the unloading oil way is shorter, the pressure loss is lower, and the energy is more saved.
[0045] As shown in Figure 6 The reversing valve rod 7 is in the lifting position: when the mechanical equipment is in the lifting working condition, the electromagnetic valve is powered and becomes normally open from normally closed at this time; the oil pump one P1 is unloaded through the oil inlet valve piece one 1, the priority valve core 4 and the P1 oil channel 11 of the combined valve piece, at this time, the oil return channel T is closed, the P1 oil is controlled by the reversing valve rod 7 and is transmitted to the working port A through the internal oil channel of the combined valve piece and the logic one-way valve 9, and then is supplied to the lifting actuator through the pipeline, at this time, the LS2 channel 13 in the combined valve piece is communicated with the working port A, the pressure is the load pressure, and is transmitted to the spring cavity of the three-way flow regulating valve 3 in the oil inlet valve piece two 2 through the internal oil channel of the valve group, at this time, the three-way flow regulating valve 3 stops unloading.
[0046] The oil pump two P2 is connected to the P2 oil channel 12 through the oil inlet valve piece two 2 to the reversing valve piece to the converging valve piece, and is controlled by the reversing valve rod to converge with the P1 oil to the same oil channel, to complete the converging function of the double pump and achieve the purpose of rapid lifting.
[0047] As shown in Figure 7 the lowering position: when the machine is in the lowering working condition, the electromagnetic valve is powered on at this time, and the normally closed becomes normally open state, the electromagnetic valve channel is communicated with the oil return channel, and the logic one-way valve 9 is opened at this time. The oil of the actuator is communicated with the oil return channel through the working port A, and the actuator starts to descend.
[0048] The oil pump one P1 is connected to the converging valve piece inside the oil channel and the return port T through the converging valve piece, and continues to be unloaded; the oil pump two P2 is connected to the P2 oil channel 12 through the oil inlet valve piece two 2 to the reversing valve piece 6 to the converging valve piece 5, and at this time, the P2 oil channel is closed, the LS2 oil channel is communicated with the oil return channel T, and the oil pump two P2 is unloaded by the three-way flow regulating valve 3 in the oil inlet valve piece two 2, and is returned to the oil tank through the T port of the converging valve piece.
[0049] The converging valve piece of the first connection is integrated with the steering priority, and the oil inlet valve piece two is integrated with the three-way flow regulating valve, which uses two valve cores to control two variables respectively. Compared with the conventional open center multi-way valve group, the left oil inlet valve piece one is unloaded from the converging valve piece of the first connection, and the right oil inlet valve piece two is directly unloaded from the oil inlet side. The unloading oil way is shorter, the pressure loss is lower, and the energy is more saved, which can effectively reduce the energy waste.
[0050] The converging valve piece of the first connection requires large flow in the lifting working condition, and the left and right oil inlets are converged in the first connection after reversing to supply the lifting actuator; the flow required by the remaining actuators is relatively small, and the right oil inlet can meet the requirement. Combining large flow valve and small flow valve can meet different working conditions, save main machine installation volume, and save valve cost.
[0051] The three-way flow regulating valve built in the oil inlet valve piece two can adjust the flow and pressure in real time according to the system demand, keep the pressure stable, realize accurate load control, ensure the stable operation of the equipment under various working conditions, and avoid the occurrence of overload or underload. By accurately controlling the load, the load sensitive valve can help to reduce the wear and pressure fluctuation of the equipment, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment.
[0052] This scheme solves the problems of high energy consumption, slow response and poor compatibility of traditional multi-way valve group through oil path optimization, converging logic innovation and intelligent flow regulation, has significant application value in the fields of engineering machinery and hoisting equipment, and is especially suitable for scenes requiring frequent start and stop and high precision load control, and has comprehensive energy efficiency improvement.
[0053] The above descriptions are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
