Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve technology, specifically to a manual / automatic switching valve and a hydraulic device. Background Technology
[0002] In hydraulic systems, there are pressure valves based on pressure, flow valves based on flow rate, and directional valves based on direction. These, as the most basic connecting units of a hydraulic system, constitute a typical hydraulic system. When the system's execution needs to become more complex, the simple combination of ordinary connecting units becomes complicated and even difficult to adapt. To ensure reliable execution of actions, hydraulic systems, in addition to automatic operation, also require manual or degraded functions. A switching operation is often required when executing manual or automatic functions.
[0003] Currently, the common operating procedure is to mechanically switch the manual / automatic switching valve to the "automatic" position when automatic functions are needed, and to the "manual" position when manual functions are needed. This method achieves manual / automatic switching through a single switching valve. However, in unmanned environments or when no one is involved, this switching valve faces serious problems. If it is accidentally switched to the "manual" position, automatic functions cannot be executed, thus preventing remote operation. Furthermore, when the operator needs to perform manual operation, an additional action of switching from automatic to manual is required.
[0004] The current manual / automatic switching valve based on mechanical selection is seriously unsuitable for the needs of future unmanned operation. There is an urgent need for a manual / automatic switching valve that can automatically switch between manual and automatic functions under unmanned conditions. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the drawings and description are considered exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses a manual / automatic switching valve, including a valve seat. The valve seat has seven external interface points: a first interface point A7, a second interface point B7, a third interface point P1, a fourth interface point P2, a fifth interface point A, a sixth interface point B, and a seventh interface point Y1. The valve seat also has six plug-in valves: a first valve D1, a second valve D2, a third valve D3, a fourth valve D4, a fifth valve D5, and a sixth valve D6. Among them, the first valve D1 and the second valve D2 are ordinary check valves, while the third valve D3, the fourth valve D4, the fifth valve D5, and the sixth valve D6 are hydraulically controlled check valves.
[0031] The valve seat has six oil circuit connection points: a first oil circuit connection point K1, a second oil circuit connection point K2, a third oil circuit connection point O1, a fourth oil circuit connection point O2, a fifth oil circuit connection point O3, and a sixth oil circuit connection point O4.
[0032] The first oil circuit connection point K1 is connected to the third interface point P1, the first valve D1 and the fourth valve D4;
[0033] The second oil circuit connection point K2 is connected to the fourth interface point P2, the second valve D2 and the third valve D3;
[0034] The third oil circuit connection point O1 is connected to the first valve D1, the third valve D3, the fifth interface point A and the fifth valve D5;
[0035] The fourth oil circuit connection point O2 is connected to the second valve D2, the fourth valve D4, the sixth interface point B, and the sixth valve D6;
[0036] The fifth oil circuit connection point O3 is connected to the first interface point A7, the fifth valve D5, and the sixth valve D6;
[0037] The sixth oil circuit connection point O4 is connected to the second interface point B7, the sixth valve D6, and the fifth valve D5;
[0038] In addition, the seventh interface point Y1 is connected to the third valve D3 and the fourth valve D4.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model also discloses a hydraulic device based on the aforementioned manual / automatic switching valve, including a hydraulic cylinder, a servo valve, and a two-way hand-cranked pump. The hydraulic cylinder serves as the actuating element and can also be a motor, etc. The servo valve and the two-way hand-cranked pump are connected to the oil tank (not shown in the figure) as two-way pressure oil supply elements. The servo valve is the interface commonly used in the system, and the two-way hand-cranked pump is mainly used for degraded or backup operations.
[0040] The two oil circuits of the servo valve are connected to the first interface point A7 and the second interface point B7 respectively. The two oil circuits of the bidirectional hand pump are connected to the third interface point P1 and the fourth interface point P2 respectively. The two ends of the oil cylinder are connected to the fifth interface point A and the sixth interface point B respectively. The seventh interface point Y1 is connected to the oil tank circuit (not shown in the figure).
[0041] When the servo valve has pressurized oil and the bidirectional hand pump has no pressurized oil, the pressurized oil is transmitted through the automatic circuit of the manual-automatic switching valve, and the mechanism is automatically operated through the servo valve.
[0042] Pressure oil enters from the servo valve: When pressure oil enters from the first interface point A7, simultaneously opening the fifth valve D5, pressure oil flows from the fifth oil circuit connection point O3 to the sixth valve D6. At this time, the pressure oil travels along the path from the first interface point A7 → the fifth oil circuit connection point O3 → the fifth valve D5 → the third oil circuit connection point O1 → the fifth interface point A to one end of the cylinder. The pressure oil at the other end of the cylinder travels along the path from the sixth interface point B → the fourth oil circuit connection point O2 → the sixth valve D6 → the sixth oil circuit connection point O4 → the second interface point B7 back to the oil tank. When... When the pressurized oil enters from the second interface point B7, the route is exactly the opposite. At the same time as the sixth valve D6 is opened, the pressurized oil flows from the sixth oil circuit connection point O4 to the fifth valve D5. At this time, the pressurized oil enters one end of the cylinder along the route from the second interface point B7 → the sixth oil circuit connection point O4 → the sixth valve D6 → the fourth oil circuit connection point O2 → the sixth interface point B. The pressurized oil at the other end of the cylinder returns to the oil tank along the route from the fifth interface point A → the third oil circuit connection point O1 → the fifth valve D5 → the fifth oil circuit connection point O3 → the first interface point A7.
[0043] When the servo valve has no pressurized oil but the hand pump has pressurized oil, the pressurized oil is transmitted through the manual circuit of the manual-automatic switching valve, and the mechanism is manually operated through the bidirectional hand pump.
[0044] The pressurized oil enters from the bidirectional hand pump, and the pressurized oil at the third interface point P1 and the fourth interface point P2 will not appear at the same time. When pressurized oil enters from the third interface point P1, simultaneously with opening the first check valve D1, pressurized oil flows from the first oil circuit connection point K1 to the fourth valve D4, opening the fourth valve D4. The pressurized oil then flows along the path from the third interface point P1 → the first oil circuit connection point K1 → the first valve D1 → the third oil circuit connection point O1 → the fifth interface point A into one end of the cylinder. The oil in the other end flows along the path from the sixth interface point B → the fourth oil circuit connection point O2 → the fourth valve D4 → the seventh interface point Y1 back to the oil tank. When pressurized oil enters from the fourth interface point P2, the path is exactly the opposite. Simultaneously with opening the second valve D2, pressurized oil flows from the second oil circuit connection point K2 to the third valve D3, opening the third valve D3. The pressurized oil then flows along the path from the fourth interface point P2 → the second oil circuit connection point K2 → the second valve D2 → the fourth oil circuit connection point O2 → the sixth interface point B into one end of the cylinder. The oil in the other end flows along the path from the fifth interface point A → the third oil circuit connection point O1 → the third valve D3 → the seventh interface point Y1 back to the oil tank.
[0045] When both the servo valve and the hand pump have pressurized oil, the circuit with the higher pressure is automatically established, and manual and automatic switching are performed based on pressure. The logic for selecting the valve for manual / automatic switching is based on the higher pressure; whichever has the higher pressure between the bidirectional hand pump and the servo valve has the right to connect the circuit. If the pressure of the bidirectional hand pump is higher than the pressure from the servo valve, the servo valve will be unable to open because its check valves (valve D5 and valve D6) will be closed due to the lower pressure. Similarly, if the pressure of the servo valve is higher than the pressure from the bidirectional hand pump, the bidirectional hand pump will be unable to open because its check valves (valve D1, valve D2, valve D3, and valve D4) will be closed due to the lower pressure.
[0046] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of this utility model. Any technical solution that can be implemented based on the above embodiments without creative effort should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
