[0002] The cab tilting hydraulic system is an essential component of port tractors. Its main function is to tilt the cab of the tractor. However, due to wheelbase requirements and limited overall space, some port tractors require cab tilting in most cases when vehicle malfunctions. Therefore, how to rationally arrange the cab tilting hydraulic system to conveniently improve the reliability of cab tilting operations is a problem that needs to be solved.
[0003] Currently, port tractors with limited space typically use oil pump motors mounted inside the chassis below the cab. These motors are electrically controlled and can only operate in automatic tilting mode. In the event of a vehicle malfunction, the oil pump motor may also malfunction and fail to drive the cab tilting, leading to difficult repairs and low reliability. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic system for tilting the cab of a port tractor and a port tractor. By arranging the oil pump motor assembly on the boarding ladder of the cab, the driver can use the open space at the boarding ladder to manually control the oil pump motor assembly, thereby making it easier to manually control the tilting of the cab and improving the reliability of the tilting.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Example 1
[0028] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model patent clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Combination Figures 1-3This embodiment provides a hydraulic system for tilting the cab of a port tractor, comprising an oil pump motor assembly 2, a tilting cylinder 3, and a reversing valve 5. The oil pump motor assembly 2 is a combination of a hydraulic pump and a motor, providing pressure and flow to the hydraulic system. In this embodiment, the oil pump motor assembly 2 is mounted on the loading ladder 1 of the cab. The loading ladder 1 has an open space, allowing the driver to manually control the oil pump motor. The tilting cylinder 3 is the actuator of the hydraulic system, converting liquid pressure into mechanical energy to propel an object. In this embodiment, the fixed end of the tilting cylinder 3 is hinged to the frame on the front side of the oil pump motor assembly 2, and the telescopic end is hinged to the bottom of the cab. The tilting cylinder 3 can drive the cab to tilt relative to the frame. The cab 3 is connected to a locking mechanism 4, which is used to lock the cab 3. The locking mechanism 4 is used to unlock the cab 3 when it tilts and to lock the cab 3 by its own weight when it falls. The directional valve 5 can control the connection, disconnection, and direction of the oil circuit in the hydraulic system. In this embodiment, the oil inlet of the directional valve 5 is connected to the oil outlet of the oil pump motor assembly 2, the first working oil port is connected to the rod chamber of the tilting cylinder 3, and the second working oil port is connected to the rodless chamber of the tilting cylinder 3; the return oil port is connected to the oil tank; the extension and retraction of the tilting cylinder 3 can be controlled by adjusting the valve core position of the directional valve 5.
[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the oil pump motor assembly 2 and the tilting cylinder 3 are arranged front and rear, with the tilting cylinder 3 located near the front of the cab for easy tilting. The oil pump motor assembly 2 is positioned rearward on the loading ladder 1 of the port tractor body. The loading ladder 1 has an open space, allowing for convenient manual control. This arrangement achieves both automatic and convenient manual control, improving the reliability of the cab's ability to tilt at any time in case of vehicle malfunction.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, the oil pump motor assembly 2 includes an electric pump 21 and a manual pump 22 connected in parallel. The confluence of the electric pump 21 and the manual pump 22 serves as the oil outlet of the oil pump motor assembly 2. Both the oil outlets of the electric pump 21 and the manual pump 22 are connected to a hydraulic lock 7, which is used to hold the tilting cylinder 3 in a designated position. The electric pump 21 is connected to a motor drive, and the manual pump 22 is connected to a rocker arm drive. In this embodiment, both the electric pump 21 and the manual pump 22 can output hydraulic oil. In most cases where the vehicle does not experience an electronic control failure, the electric pump 21 can be used directly to drive the tilting cylinder 3 to tilt the cab. However, when an electronic control failure occurs, causing the electric pump 21 to malfunction, the open space on the loading ladder 1 allows the manual pump 22 to be used directly to drive the tilting cylinder 3 to tilt, thereby improving the reliability of the cab tilting.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, the directional control valve 5 has a first working position and a second working position. When the directional control valve 5 is in the first working position, its inlet and the first working port are connected, and its second working port is connected to the return port. When the directional control valve 5 is in the second working position, its inlet and the second working port are connected, and its first working port is connected to the return port. The first and second control terminals of the directional control valve 5 are respectively connected to a solenoid valve and a manual control lever. By controlling the solenoid valve or the manual control lever, the directional control valve 5 can switch between the first and second working positions. The directional control valve 5 in this embodiment has both automatic and manual control modes.
[0033] First, the working principle of the automatic mode will be explained. When it is necessary to tilt the cab, the control solenoid valve will put the reversing valve 5 in the second working position and start the electric pump 21. At this time, oil will enter the rodless chamber of the tilting cylinder 3 and return oil to the rod chamber. The piston rod of the tilting cylinder 3 will extend and lift the cab. When resetting, the control solenoid valve will put the reversing valve 5 in the first working position. Oil will enter the rod chamber of the tilting cylinder 3 and return oil to the rodless chamber.
[0034] Next, the working principle of the manual mode will be explained. When it is necessary to tilt the cab, the reversing valve 5 is put into the second working position by manually controlling the lever, and oil is pumped by manually pumping pump 22. At this time, oil enters the rodless chamber of the tilting cylinder 3 and oil returns from the rod chamber. The piston rod of the tilting cylinder 3 extends to support the cab. When resetting, the reversing valve 5 is put into the first working position by controlling the lever, and oil enters the rod chamber of the tilting cylinder 3 and oil returns from the rodless chamber.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, the hydraulic system also includes a relief valve 6, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the oil pump motor assembly 2, and the outlet is connected to the oil tank; the relief valve 6 is configured to open when the oil pressure at the inlet of the oil pump motor assembly 2 exceeds a preset threshold, and the structural safety of the hydraulic system can be ensured by the relief valve 6.
[0036] Specifically, in existing technologies, the hydraulic pump motor is typically installed inside the frame below the cab, relying solely on the electronic control system for automatic tilting. If the electronic control system fails, the cab tilting function is completely paralyzed, leading to maintenance difficulties. This embodiment, however, employs a hydraulic pump motor assembly 2 consisting of an electric pump 21 and a manual pump 22 connected in parallel, coupled with dual-mode control of the reversing valve 5 (automatic control by the solenoid valve and manual control lever operation). While retaining the automatic control function, it introduces manual control as an emergency backup. Even in the event of a power outage or malfunction of the electric pump 21, the manual pump 22 can still be operated through the open space at the boarding ladder 1 to drive the tilting cylinder 3 to tilt or reset the cab, thus improving tilting reliability. Example 2
[0037] This embodiment provides a port tractor, which includes the port tractor cab tilting hydraulic system described in Embodiment 1.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
