Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of hydraulic control technology relates to a kind of energy-saving type unloading and loading coil trolley hydraulic system, suitable for the unloading and loading operation on the strip steel production line in metallurgical industry. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the metallurgical industry, various production lines of strip steel plant, such as pickling production line, rolling production line, finishing line, coating production line, etc., must be configured with unloading and loading coil trolley device. These devices are mainly used for the unloading and loading operation of strip steel coil and are an indispensable part of the production line. The unloading and loading coil trolley device is driven by a hydraulic system and can lift and lower the steel coil to complete the unloading and loading task. However, the traditional unloading and loading coil trolley hydraulic system has significant energy consumption problems in actual use, which limits its performance in energy saving and emission reduction.
[0003] The traditional unloading and loading coil trolley hydraulic system usually uses a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, and its working principle is relatively simple: when the steel coil needs to be lifted, the pressure oil is introduced into the piston cavity (plug cavity) of the hydraulic cylinder to push the piston rod out, thereby lifting the steel coil; at this time, the oil in the piston rod cavity (rod cavity) is discharged through the oil return pipeline. Conversely, when the steel coil needs to be lowered, the pressure oil is introduced into the piston rod cavity to push the piston rod to retract, and the oil in the piston cavity is discharged through the oil return pipeline. Although this design is intuitive and easy to implement in operation, it has obvious shortcomings in energy utilization efficiency. The weight of the steel coil is usually very large, especially under heavy load conditions, and a large amount of hydraulic energy is consumed to overcome the gravity of the steel coil during the lifting process. In the lowering process, the gravitational potential energy of the steel coil is not effectively recycled, but is wasted through the oil return to the oil tank. This one-way consumption of energy is particularly prominent in frequent lifting and lowering operations. For example, on a typical strip steel production line, the unloading and loading coil trolley may need to perform hundreds or even thousands of lifting and lowering actions every day, each operation accompanied by significant energy loss, and the long-term cumulative energy consumption cost is considerable.
[0004] In addition, the design of the traditional hydraulic system is usually based on meeting the maximum load demand, so it needs to be configured with high working pressure and flow. This not only leads to a large installed power of the hydraulic system, increasing the manufacturing and maintenance cost of the equipment, but also further exacerbates energy waste because the system still needs to maintain high pressure under no-load or light-load conditions. For example, when the system is under no-load lifting or light-load lowering, it still supplies high-pressure oil according to the standard of heavy-load lifting, but these energies are not fully used for effective work, resulting in unnecessary waste. More importantly, the gravitational potential energy released when the steel coil is lowered has great recycling potential, but the traditional system lacks corresponding energy recycling devices, so this part of energy cannot be reused.
[0005] In recent years, the industry has proposed several improvement solutions to address the high energy consumption of traditional hydraulic systems. For example, some studies have attempted to recover the potential energy of the steel coil during descent by introducing accumulators and release it during lifting to assist in the drive, thereby reducing external energy input. Other studies have adopted variable frequency drive (VFD) technology, adjusting the motor speed to match actual load requirements and reducing energy consumption during no-load operation. However, these methods still have certain limitations in practical applications. While VFD technology can optimize energy consumption to some extent, it still requires high power support during heavy-load lifting, resulting in less than ideal energy-saving effects. Furthermore, these improvement solutions often require significant modifications to existing equipment, making implementation difficult and hindering widespread adoption on existing production lines. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an energy-saving hydraulic system for loading and unloading coils.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An energy-saving hydraulic system for loading and unloading coils includes:
[0009] A hydraulic cylinder includes a piston rod, a cylinder body, and a plunger cover. The piston rod is slidably disposed in the cylinder body, dividing the cylinder body into a first hydraulic chamber and a second hydraulic chamber. The plunger cover is fixedly disposed at the rodless end of the cylinder body, with one end of the plunger cover passing through the second hydraulic chamber and extending into the piston rod. The piston rod and the plunger cover are slidably fitted together, and a third hydraulic chamber is formed between the plunger cover and the piston rod. The first, second, and third hydraulic chambers are physically separated from each other, and the effective area of the liquid acting on the piston rod in the first hydraulic chamber is larger than the effective area of the liquid acting on the piston rod in the third hydraulic chamber.
[0010] A hydraulic control system includes a high-pressure pump source, a low-pressure pump source, a hydraulic cylinder, a control valve group, a high-pressure accumulator, and a low-pressure accumulator. The high-pressure pump source and the high-pressure accumulator are connected together to a high-pressure oil circuit via pipelines to provide high-pressure hydraulic oil. The low-pressure pump source and the low-pressure accumulator are connected together to a low-pressure oil circuit via pipelines to provide low-pressure hydraulic oil.
[0011] The hydraulic cylinder is simultaneously connected to the high-pressure oil circuit, the low-pressure oil circuit, and the return oil circuit through a control valve group. The control valve group controls the switching between the first hydraulic chamber, the second hydraulic chamber, and the third hydraulic chamber and the high-pressure oil circuit, the low-pressure oil circuit, and the return oil circuit, so as to supply oil to the hydraulic cylinder or recover the contraction and falling potential energy of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, the control valve assembly includes:
[0013] A hydraulically controlled check valve assembly, comprising a first hydraulically controlled check valve, a second hydraulically controlled check valve, a third hydraulically controlled check valve, a fourth hydraulically controlled check valve, a fifth hydraulically controlled check valve, and a sixth hydraulically controlled check valve;
[0014] The proportional directional valve has four ports: A, B, P, and T. Port A is connected to the second hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic cylinder via a fifth and a sixth hydraulically controlled check valve. Port B is directly connected to the first hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. Port P is divided into two paths: one path connects to the high-pressure oil line via a third and a first hydraulically controlled check valve, and the other path connects to the low-pressure oil line via a fourth and a second hydraulically controlled check valve, and is also connected to the low-pressure pump source via the second check valve. Port T is also divided into two paths: one path connects to the return oil line via a third hydraulically controlled check valve, and the other path connects to the low-pressure oil line via a fourth hydraulically controlled check valve.
[0015] The electromagnetic directional valve assembly includes a first electromagnetic directional valve, a second electromagnetic directional valve, and a third electromagnetic directional valve. The control terminals of the first and second hydraulically controlled check valves are controlled by the first electromagnetic directional valve to open or close with the high-pressure oil circuit or the return oil circuit. The control terminals of the third and fourth hydraulically controlled check valves are controlled by the second electromagnetic directional valve to open or close with the low-pressure oil circuit or the return oil circuit. The control terminals of the fifth and sixth hydraulically controlled check valves are controlled by the third electromagnetic directional valve to open or close with the high-pressure oil circuit.
[0016] Furthermore, the output ends of the high-pressure pump source and the low-pressure pump source are respectively equipped with a first check valve and a second check valve to prevent hydraulic oil backflow.
[0017] Furthermore, pressure sensors are installed on the high-pressure oil circuit, the low-pressure oil circuit, and the second hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, including a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, and a third pressure sensor. The first pressure sensor is located on the high-pressure oil circuit to detect the high-pressure P1; the second pressure sensor is located on the low-pressure oil circuit to detect the low-pressure P2; and the third pressure sensor is located on the pipeline of the second hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic cylinder to detect the pressure P in the second hydraulic chamber. A The loading and unloading trolley is equipped with a displacement sensor to detect the position of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0018] Furthermore, the hydraulic control system also includes a safety valve, which is located on the pipeline of the low-pressure accumulator group and is used for pressure relief.
[0019] Furthermore, there are one or more hydraulic cylinders, each hydraulic cylinder is equipped with an independent control valve group, and multiple hydraulic cylinders share or independently configure a high-pressure pump source, a low-pressure pump source, a high-pressure accumulator and a low-pressure accumulator.
[0020] Furthermore, both the high-pressure pump source and the low-pressure pump source are gear pumps driven by servo motors.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] 1. Significantly reduce energy consumption
[0023] Traditional hydraulic systems for unloading steel coils continuously consume significant amounts of external energy during both lifting and lowering, especially during heavy-load lifting and lowering processes. This system, through innovative hydraulic cylinder design and intelligent control, enables flexible switching between high-pressure and low-pressure oil circuits under different operating conditions. Specifically:
[0024] During the lifting and rewinding process, the system automatically switches to the high-pressure oil circuit to ensure sufficient driving force;
[0025] During no-load rise and rewind descent, the system uses a low-pressure oil circuit to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
[0026] This on-demand energy supply model effectively avoids the waste of high-pressure oil in traditional systems under light load or no-load conditions, thereby significantly reducing overall energy consumption.
[0027] 2. Reduce installed capacity and equipment costs
[0028] Traditional hydraulic systems, to meet maximum load requirements, typically require high design pressure and flow rates, resulting in high installed power and equipment costs. This invention reduces the system's design pressure and flow rate requirements by optimizing the hydraulic cylinder structure and control logic.
[0029] The special design of the hydraulic cylinder (adding a plunger cover to form three chambers) enables the system to complete some actions under low pressure, reducing the dependence on high-pressure oil sources;
[0030] The high-pressure oil circuit is only used when lifting and rewinding, while the low-pressure oil circuit is used under other operating conditions, which effectively reduces the specification requirements of the pump source and related hydraulic components.
[0031] Therefore, the total installed power of the system can be reduced, and the equipment manufacturing and maintenance costs are also reduced.
[0032] 3. Achieve energy recovery and reuse
[0033] In traditional systems, the gravitational potential energy released during the descent of the steel coil is often not effectively utilized, resulting in energy waste. This invention successfully achieves energy recovery and reuse through a low-voltage accumulator array:
[0034] During the rewinding and descent process, the oil discharged from the hydraulic cylinder is forced into the low-pressure accumulator group, converting the potential energy of the steel coil into hydraulic energy for storage.
[0035] The stored hydraulic energy can be reused in subsequent no-load rises or rewinds, reducing dependence on external energy input.
[0036] This energy recovery mechanism significantly improves the system's energy utilization efficiency, especially in production lines with frequent lifting operations, where the energy-saving effect is particularly noticeable.
[0037] 4. Reduce idle power consumption
[0038] Traditional hydraulic systems require the pump to continue running even in standby or no-load conditions, resulting in unnecessary energy consumption. This invention utilizes a gear pump driven by a servo motor, featuring adjustable speed and the ability to start and stop at any time.
[0039] When the system pressure reaches the set value, the pump source can automatically stop running, and the accumulator will provide the necessary oil supply.
[0040] The pump only starts to replenish pressure when the pressure is below the threshold, thus avoiding energy waste from long-term no-load operation.
[0041] This intelligent control strategy further improves the system's energy-saving performance, especially when multiple sets of loading and unloading trolleys share the same hydraulic oil source, the energy-saving effect is even more significant.
[0042] 5. Improve system flexibility and adaptability
[0043] Through real-time monitoring by pressure and displacement sensors, the system can automatically switch to the appropriate control mode based on the load status and position of the steel coil, ensuring efficient operation under different working conditions.
[0044] Automatically identifies heavy-load and no-load states, and flexibly switches between high-pressure and low-pressure oil circuits;
[0045] When the rewinding descent contacts the saddle, the system can switch to the no-load descent mode in a timely manner to avoid misoperation and energy waste.
[0046] This intelligent control method not only improves the system's operating efficiency, but also enhances the convenience and safety of operation.
