[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydraulic cylinder control system, which can be used for the robotic arm control of a heat treatment loading and unloading machine, and also for the control of other equipment. Its main function is to control the upward and downward movements of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder. Specifically, this hydraulic cylinder control system includes an upward on / off valve assembly for the hydraulic cylinder (see reference). Figure 2), hydraulic cylinder pressure holding and opening / closing valve assembly (reference) Figure 3 ) and the cylinder downward control valve assembly (reference) Figure 4 The inlet of the upward-moving valve assembly is connected to the oil supply port, and the outlet of the upward-moving valve assembly is connected to the inlet of the pressure-holding valve assembly. The outlet of the pressure-holding valve assembly is connected to the plug cavity of cylinder 12. The downward-moving control valve assembly includes a two-way cartridge proportional valve 7. Port A of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is connected between the outlet of the upward-moving valve assembly and the inlet of the pressure-holding valve assembly. Port B of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is connected to the return port. Port X of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is connected to the oil supply port, and port Y of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is connected to the return port. The two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 has a pilot valve, and ports X and Y of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 are switched through the pilot valve. The return port connected to the Y port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 can be the same return port or two different return ports connected to the B port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7. The supply port connected to the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 can be the same supply port or two different supply ports connected to the inlet port of the cylinder upward opening and closing valve assembly.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] ① Cylinder Upward Movement: The cylinder upward opening and closing valve group opens, the cylinder pressure holding opening and closing valve group opens, and the pilot valve of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is de-energized, so ports A and B of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 are not connected. The oil output from the delivery pump enters the cylinder hydraulic control system through the oil supply port. The oil will pass through the cylinder upward opening and closing valve group and the cylinder pressure holding opening and closing valve group in sequence into the plug chamber of cylinder 12, pushing the piston rod upward to achieve the upward movement. After rising to the preset position, the system is unloaded, the cylinder upward opening and closing valve group closes, the cylinder pressure holding opening and closing valve group closes, and the piston rod of cylinder 12 remains stationary.

[0031] ② Cylinder Downward Movement: The cylinder upward opening and closing valve group opens, the cylinder pressure holding opening and closing valve group remains closed, and the amplifier provides drive current to the pilot valve of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7. The pilot valve core moves, realizing reversal. The oil output from the delivery pump flows into the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 from the oil supply port. The control oil in the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 flows out from the Y port and into the oil tank from the return port, controlling the movement of the main valve core. The A and B ports of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 are connected. The hydraulic oil in the piston chamber of cylinder 12 passes through the cylinder upward opening and closing valve group and the A and B ports of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7, and then flows into the oil tank from the return port. Under the gravity of the equipment driven by cylinder 12, the piston rod moves downward, realizing the cylinder downward movement. The displacement sensor in the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 provides feedback on the position signal of the main valve core. By controlling the flow of hydraulic oil in the X port and adjusting the opening degree of the valve core, the downward movement speed of the piston rod can be precisely controlled.

[0032] This hydraulic cylinder control system employs a two-way cartridge proportional valve 7. A proportional regulator adjusts the control signal output from the electric actuator, controlling the movement of the main valve core. A displacement sensor in the main valve core provides feedback, which, along with the input signal, calibrates the valve opening, thereby altering the fluid flow area to control flow rate and pressure. This valve features fast response, precise control, and excellent stability, maintaining stable fluid parameters during prolonged operation, thus improving work efficiency and production benefits. It can meet the high-speed requirements of hydraulic systems, enabling precise control of mechanical equipment. This hydraulic cylinder control system has a simple structure, low cost, high cost-effectiveness, and is easy to maintain and debug.

[0033] In one embodiment, the pilot valve of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 is a proportional pilot valve. Both the main valve core of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 and the valve core of the proportional pilot valve are equipped with displacement sensors to perform dual closed-loop control, which can quickly and accurately control the opening size of the main valve core, unaffected by the working conditions, thereby quickly and accurately controlling the movement of the working parts.

[0034] In one embodiment, the cylinder upward opening and closing valve assembly includes a first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, a two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2, and a shuttle valve 3. The shuttle valve 3 can perform oil circuit distribution and control the oil flow direction. Port A of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 is connected to the oil supply port, and port B of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 is connected to the oil inlet of the cylinder pressure-holding opening and closing valve assembly. Port P of the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is connected to port A of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, and port T of the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is connected to the oil return port. Port A of the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is connected to port A of the shuttle valve 3, port B of the shuttle valve 3 is connected to port B of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, and port C of the shuttle valve 3 is connected to port X of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1. In addition, the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 can be a non-electromagnetically controlled two-position four-way directional valve, such as through pneumatic control or hydraulic control, but it does not have the same response speed as a solenoid valve.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] When the cylinder moves downward, the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is de-energized and is in the parallel position. Ports P and A are connected, and ports T and B are connected. After the hydraulic oil enters through the oil supply port, it flows into the X port of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 through ports P and A of the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2. The valve core remains in the initial closed state. At this time, the hydraulic oil cannot pass through the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, thus achieving the closure of the cylinder upward opening and closing valve group.

[0037] When the hydraulic cylinder moves upward, the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is energized and is in the cross position, with ports P and B connected, and ports T and A connected. Oil drains from port X of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, flows through ports A and T of the two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2, to the return port, and then flows into the oil tank. The hydraulic oil entering from the supply port passes through port A of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, overcomes the valve core spring pressure, and opens the valve core. Ports A and B of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 are connected, realizing the opening of the valve assembly for the upward movement of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0038] The above setting method for the hydraulic cylinder upward opening and closing valve group is a reference method. It can also be improved or other setting methods can be adopted according to needs and actual conditions.

[0039] In one embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder pressure-holding opening and closing valve group includes a second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 and a two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5. The A port of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 is connected to the B port of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1, the B port of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 is connected to the plug cavity of the hydraulic cylinder 12, the X port of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 is connected to the A port of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5, the B port of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is connected to the plug cavity of the hydraulic cylinder 12, and the T port of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is connected to the return oil port.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] When the cylinder moves upward, the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is normally de-energized, and ports B and A of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 are connected. If the hydraulic oil in the plug chamber of the cylinder 12 flows back, it will flow into the X port of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 through ports B and A of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5, causing the valve core of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 to close. Therefore, at this time, the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 is in the function of a check valve. After the oil flows from port B of the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 into port A of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4, the hydraulic oil overcomes the spring force, the valve core opens, ports A and B are connected, and the oil flows in from port A and out from port B, flowing into the plug chamber of the cylinder 12.

[0042] When the hydraulic cylinder moves downward, the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is energized, and ports A and T of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 are open, while port B of the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is blocked. At this time, the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 loses its one-way valve function. The hydraulic oil flowing out of the plug chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12 flows into port B of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4. The hydraulic oil overcomes the spring force, and the valve core opens. Port X of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 is connected to the plug chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12 through the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5. Ports B and A are open, and the oil flows out from port A and into port A of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7. It then flows from port B of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 into the return port and back to the oil tank.

[0043] The setting method of the hydraulic cylinder pressure holding valve assembly can be used as a reference, but it can also be improved or other settings can be adopted according to needs and actual conditions.

[0044] Both the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 and the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4 are cartridge valves with a seated valve structure, which differs significantly from ordinary spool valves. They include a control cover and cartridge components, and are equipped with a manual adjusting rod to adjust the valve core opening and control the flow rate. They offer numerous advantages: simple structure, flexible design, good controllability, and the ability to withstand large flow rates and high pressures. The diameter of each component in the cartridge valve assembly can be adjusted according to actual conditions to adapt to equipment with different tonnage requirements, resulting in a wider range of applications, stronger adaptability, high reliability, elimination of external leakage and reduction of internal leakage, and good pressure holding performance.

[0045] In one embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder pressure-holding on / off valve assembly further includes a safety valve 6. The inlet of the safety valve 6 is connected to port B of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4, and the overflow port of the safety valve 6 is connected to the return port. The safety valve 6 mainly prevents accidents caused by overload, thus achieving a safety protection function. When supplying or returning oil, if the oil pressure exceeds the set value of the safety valve 6, the oil will flow through the overflow port into the return port and back to the oil tank.

[0046] In one embodiment, the cylinder downward control valve group further includes a one-way valve 9, which is connected between the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 and the oil supply port to prevent oil from flowing back from the X port to the oil supply port.

[0047] In one embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder downward control valve assembly further includes a pressure reducing valve 8. The inlet of the pressure reducing valve 8 is connected between the check valve 9 and the oil supply port, and the overflow port of the pressure reducing valve 8 is connected to the oil return port. When the oil pressure exceeds the set value of the pressure reducing valve 8, it will automatically overflow to relieve pressure. This causes the pressure at the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 to be lower than the main system pressure. The pressure reducing valve 8 reduces the pressure, and the check valve 9 enables unidirectional flow of oil in the circuit.

[0048] In one embodiment, the cylinder downward control valve assembly further includes an accumulator 10 and a shut-off ball valve 11. The oil port of the accumulator 10 is connected between the check valve 9 and the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7, and the shut-off ball valve 11 is connected between the oil port and the return port of the accumulator 10. After the oil flows out of the check valve 9, the oil will be divided into two oil paths. One oil path flows into the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7, and the other oil path flows into the accumulator 10 for energy storage. The accumulator 10 stores energy to ensure sufficient pressure control at the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 when the main system is not working.

[0049] In one embodiment, the shut-off ball valve 11 is a plate-type high-pressure ball valve.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a hydraulic control system for a heat treatment loading and unloading machine, including a hydraulic cylinder 12 and the hydraulic cylinder control system in Embodiment 1. The rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is connected to the oil tank, and the plug chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is connected to the oil outlet of the hydraulic cylinder pressure holding and opening / closing valve assembly. The hydraulic cylinder 12 is used to drive the robotic arm of the heat treatment loading and unloading machine.

[0052] In one embodiment, three hydraulic cylinders 12 are included. The three hydraulic cylinders 12 are responsible for driving the robotic arm to different positions.

[0053] In one embodiment, the complete control process of the hydraulic control system of the heat treatment loading and unloading machine is as follows:

[0054] ① Cylinder Upward Movement: The hydraulic cylinder 12, through a robotic arm structure, moves the workpiece to the corresponding height position, fixes it in place, and then places it in the heat treatment equipment for heating. Specific control process: The two-position four-way solenoid valve 2 is energized, and ports A and B of the first two-way cartridge valve 1 are connected. Hydraulic fluid flows out from port B of the first two-way cartridge valve 1. The two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is normally de-energized, and the second two-way cartridge valve 4 functions as a check valve. After hydraulic fluid flows from port B of the first two-way cartridge valve 1 into port A of the second two-way cartridge valve 4, the hydraulic oil overcomes the spring force, the valve core opens, and ports A and B are connected. Hydraulic fluid flows in from port A and out from port B, flowing into the plug chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12. The hydraulic fluid entering the plug chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 12 pushes the piston rod upward, achieving the upward movement. After reaching the position, the system is unloaded, all valves return to normal, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 12 remains stationary.

[0055] The hydraulic cylinder descends as follows: After the workpiece is heated, it needs to be quickly placed into the cooling medium. After the workpiece is removed from the heat treatment equipment, it is quickly lowered and placed into the cooling pool. Specific control process: The two-position four-way solenoid directional valve 2 is de-energized, the first two-way cartridge directional valve 1 is closed, and the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 is energized (the two-position three-way solenoid ball valve 5 has no internal leakage, which can ensure that the cylinder is fixed and prevents it from sliding down). The oil in the plug chamber of the cylinder 12 flows to the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 through the B and A ports of the second two-way cartridge directional valve 4. The amplifier provides drive current to the pilot valve of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7, the pilot valve core moves, realizing the reversal. The oil output by the delivery pump flows into the X port of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 from the oil supply port. The control oil in the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 flows out from the Y port, controlling the movement of the main valve core. The A and B ports of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 are connected. The hydraulic oil flows into the return port from the A and B ports of the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7, and then into the oil tank. Under the action of the workpiece gravity, the piston rod of the cylinder 12 moves down quickly, realizing the downward action of the cylinder 12. By using the displacement sensor inside the two-way cartridge proportional valve 7 to receive the position signal of the main valve core, and by controlling the flow rate of hydraulic oil in port X to adjust the opening degree of the valve core, precise control of the downward movement speed of the piston rod can be achieved.

[0056] The hydraulic control system of this heat treatment loading and unloading machine can realize fully automatic loading and unloading operations of the rapid quenching furnace. After position control is achieved, the workpiece is driven into the heating furnace and rapidly heated using electromagnetic induction heating technology. Once the required temperature is reached, the workpiece is driven out and then quickly lowered into the quenching medium to achieve the quenching effect through rapid cooling.

[0057] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
