[0047] Example 2:

[0048] This selectable valve core centering device is linked with the hydraulic control system and the emergency stop valve hydraulic control system through multiple oil circuits. Its core function is to achieve valve core centering control (i.e., the valve core returns to the neutral position) through the coordinated action of hydraulic components. It also has the ability to switch between multiple control modes to ensure stable system operation. The following details the process from three aspects: basic oil circuitry, core control logic, and key scenario actions.

[0049] I. Hydraulic Circuit Basics and Power Source: The hydraulic circuit has three main hydraulic circuits: First hydraulic circuit 1 and Second hydraulic circuit 2: both connected to the oil tank (return oil passage) of the hydraulic control system; Third hydraulic circuit 3: connected to the hydraulic accumulator of the hydraulic control system (providing high-pressure oil source). Core power source: The Third hydraulic circuit 3 controls the main oil source through an electric valve. After the electric valve opens, the high-pressure oil branches into multiple branches through the main circuit, providing power to various hydraulic components (such as digital valves, proportional valves, on / off control valves, etc.).

[0050] Oil source filtration and distribution: After passing through the electric valve, the high-pressure oil first enters the dual filter 13, where impurities are filtered out and then divided into two paths: one path supplies oil to the control elements (digital valve 11, proportional valve 10, limit switch, etc.); the other path supplies oil to the actuators (hydraulic feedback mechanism 12, auxiliary relay mechanism 16, etc.).

[0051] II. Core Control Components and Collaborative Logic: The device operates through a closed-loop logic of "control signal → valve group switching → actuator action → feedback adjustment." The functions and collaboration of key components are as follows: Control Mode Switching: Selection between digital valves and proportional valves. The proportional digital switching valve 9 is the core switching component.

[0052] When switching to digital valve 11: the A port of digital valve 11 is connected through the B port of proportional digital switching valve 9, and the digital valve 11 outputs a precise control signal;

[0053] When switching to proportional valve 10: the A port of proportional valve 10 is connected through the A port of proportional digital switching valve 9, and the proportional valve 10 outputs a continuous adjustment signal.

[0054] The dual filter 13 provides a clean oil source for both, and the return oil from the digital valve 11 and the proportional valve 10 returns to the oil tank through the first oil circuit 1.

[0055] Auxiliary switching and safety control: The auxiliary switching valve 8 is connected to the proportional digital switching valve 9 and the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12. Its P interface is connected to the B interface to form a control oil path switching. At the same time, it receives the output signal of the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12 to realize the secondary adjustment of the control signal.

[0056] The first hydraulic directional valve 4 and the second hydraulic directional valve 6 are controlled by hydraulic signals to cut off or open the oil circuit. The first hydraulic directional valve 4 controls the oil supply to the auxiliary switching valve 8; the second hydraulic directional valve 6 controls the oil supply to the second chamber of the auxiliary relay mechanism 16, indirectly regulating the piston movement. The first limit switch 5 and the second limit switch 7 are triggered by oil pressure to provide control signals to the hydraulic directional valves (such as pressure triggering of the valve core return spring), realizing action limit protection (such as cutting off the oil supply when the valve core reaches the limit position).

[0057] Actuator: Action of the auxiliary relay mechanism. The auxiliary relay mechanism 16 is the core actuator, and its piston operates through the following logic: the left side of the piston (first chamber) is connected to the first oil circuit 1 (return oil), and the right side (second chamber) is connected to high-pressure oil or return oil through the second hydraulic control directional valve 6; when high-pressure oil enters the second chamber, the piston moves to the left, driving the start-up chamber to operate (linking the start-up chamber of the start-up control valve 14); when oil returns from the second chamber, the piston resets under the action of the return oil pressure on the left or the spring force (not explicitly mentioned, but can be inferred), linking the shut-off chamber to operate.

[0058] Hydraulic feedback mechanism 12: One end is connected to the piston guide rod, and the other end is fixed. It converts the mechanical displacement of the piston into a hydraulic signal and feeds it back to the auxiliary switching valve 8 to form a closed-loop regulation (to ensure accurate piston displacement).

[0059] The function of the on / off control valve 14, and its three-chamber structure:

[0060] Constant pressure chamber: Connected to the branch of the third oil circuit 3, it maintains stable pressure and provides a reference force for the valve core;

[0061] Start-up chamber: The P port is connected to high-pressure oil. Driven by the piston of the auxiliary servo, the start-up action is triggered when high-pressure oil enters.

[0062] Shutdown chamber: The T interface is connected to the second oil circuit 2 (return oil). When the start-up chamber loses pressure, it is reset under the pressure of the constant pressure chamber, triggering the shutdown action.

[0063] Main position sensor 15: Real-time monitoring of the valve core position of the on / off control valve 14, and feedback to the control system to achieve precise positioning.

[0064] III. Typical Workflow in a Typical Scenario: Normal Start-up Control (Taking Proportional Valve Mode as an Example): The electric valve opens, and the high-pressure oil in the third oil circuit 3 is filtered by the dual filter 13 and then branched off; the proportional digital switching valve 9 switches to the proportional valve 10, and the auxiliary switching valve 8 conducts the control signal of the proportional valve 10; the proportional valve 10 outputs control oil, which enters the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12 through the proportional digital switching valve 9 and the auxiliary switching valve 8; the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12 transmits the signal to the second chamber of the auxiliary relay mechanism 16, pushing the piston to the left, and triggering the start-up by injecting oil into the start-up chamber of the linkage start-up control valve 14; the piston displacement forms a closed loop through the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12, and the main and auxiliary position sensors 15 monitor the valve core position to ensure that the start-up is in place.

[0065] Emergency stop control: When the emergency stop signal is triggered, the electric valve closes or the first hydraulic directional valve 4 operates to cut off the high-pressure oil source; the start-up chamber of the start-up control valve 14 loses pressure, and the stop-up chamber resets under the pressure of the constant pressure chamber. The T-port returns oil through the second oil circuit 2 to complete the shutdown; if a mechanical forced shutdown is required, the oil source can be manually cut off through the manual valve between the hydraulic control system and the emergency stop valve to force a restart.

[0066] Control mode switching (digital valve to proportional valve):

[0067] When the proportional digital switching valve 9 is activated, it disconnects from the digital valve 11 (B port closed) and connects to the proportional valve 10 (A port open); the oil source of the dual filter 13 is transmitted to the actuator through the proportional valve 10, the proportional digital switching valve 9, and the auxiliary switching valve 8, so as to achieve seamless switching of control modes.

[0068] Travel limit protection:

[0069] When the piston displacement of the auxiliary relay reaches its limit, the hydraulic feedback mechanism 12 triggers the second limit switch 7; the second limit switch 7 cuts off the control oil of the second hydraulic control directional valve 6, making its A interface open (connected to the return oil of the first oil circuit 1), the second chamber loses pressure, the piston stops moving, and avoids overtravel damage.

[0070] Dual-mode control: The proportional-digital switching valve enables flexible switching between digital valve (high precision) and proportional valve (continuous adjustment) to adapt to different working conditions.

[0071] Closed-loop feedback: The hydraulic feedback mechanism and the main position sensor form a dual feedback to ensure the valve core centering accuracy;

[0072] Multiple safety protections: Components such as hydraulic directional valves, limit switches, and dual filters ensure that the system can shut down or switch in time in case of abnormalities (such as overtravel or oil contamination), thus improving reliability.

[0073] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this utility model can flexibly switch between digital valve and proportional valve control modes through a proportional digital switching valve to adapt to different working conditions and requirements for valve core centering accuracy and response speed; by using a hydraulic directional valve and limit switch in conjunction, it can achieve precise control of the oil circuit and effective monitoring and feedback of the valve core centering process, thereby improving the valve core centering accuracy; by setting main and auxiliary position sensors and manual valves, it can enhance the system's operational stability and controllability, ensuring reliable valve core centering even under complex working conditions, thereby improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the hydraulic pump oil delivery system.
