[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a hydraulic actuator speed limiting device, including a speed limiting valve block 1. A two-way cartridge valve 10 is installed on the top side inside the speed limiting valve block 1. An oil passage 8 is opened inside the speed limiting valve block 1 below the two-way cartridge valve 10. An oil inlet 7 is opened on the left side of the speed limiting valve block 1, which communicates with the oil passage 8. An oil outlet channel 18 is opened on the right side inside the speed limiting valve block 1, which communicates with the oil passage 8. A damping rod 9 is installed inside the oil outlet channel 18. Oil outlets 6 are opened on both the front and rear sides of the speed limiting valve block 1. Oil outlet 6 is connected to oil outlet channel 18. A two-way cartridge valve cover plate 2 is fixedly installed on the top side of the speed limiter valve block 1 by bolts. An oil passage 2 13 is opened inside the two-way cartridge valve cover plate 2. A connecting channel 11 is opened between oil passage 2 13 and oil passage 1 8. A damper 1 15 is installed inside the connecting channel 11. A connecting channel 2 14 is opened between oil passage 2 13 and two-way cartridge valve 10. A damper 2 16 is installed inside the connecting channel 2 14. An overflow valve 4 is installed at the right end of oil passage 2 13. A pressure test connector 3 is installed on the top side of oil passage 2 13.
[0020] When the hydraulic actuator speed limiting device is working, hydraulic oil flows in from the inlet 7 and then into oil passage 8. Part of the hydraulic oil in oil passage 8 flows to the outlet passage 18. When it flows through the damping rod 9 in the outlet passage 18, a pressure difference is generated, and then it flows out from the two sets of outlet ports 6. Another part of the hydraulic oil enters the second oil passage 13 through the connecting passage 11. When it flows through the damping rod 15 in the connecting passage 11, the pressure is further regulated. Part of the hydraulic oil in the second oil passage 13 flows to the two-way cartridge valve 10 through the connecting passage 14. When it flows through the damping rod 16 in the connecting passage 14, the pressure is regulated again. The two-way cartridge valve 10 controls the on / off state and the flow rate. Another part of the hydraulic oil in the second oil passage 13 can flow out from the overflow port 17 through the overflow channel 12 via the overflow valve 4 at the right end, realizing overpressure protection. At the same time, the pressure tester 3 can monitor the pressure in the second oil passage 13 in real time to ensure that the entire device works stably according to the set logic and completes the speed limiting control of the hydraulic actuator.
[0021] An overflow channel 12 is provided between the speed limiter valve block 1 and the two-way cartridge valve cover plate 2. The input end of the overflow channel 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the overflow valve 4. An overflow port 17 is provided on the right side of the speed limiter valve block 1. The overflow port 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the overflow channel 12. When the pressure in the second oil passage 13 exceeds the set value of the overflow valve 4, the overflow valve 4 opens, and the hydraulic oil is discharged from the overflow port 17 through the overflow channel 12 to avoid system overpressure.
[0022] The bottom side of the speed limiting valve block 1 is fixedly mounted with a valve block base 5 by bolts, which provides a stable support for the entire device, so that the speed limiting valve block 1 and the components mounted on it maintain structural stability under the high pressure of hydraulic oil, and prevent the oil circuit sealing and control accuracy from being affected by vibration or displacement.
[0023] The two-way cartridge valve 10 is a two-position, two-normally closed, electromagnetically piloted two-way cartridge valve. Initially, it is in the closed state. When the electromagnetic pilot signal is triggered, the valve opens, so that the connecting flow channel 2 14 and the two-way cartridge valve 10 form a passage, participating in the dynamic regulation of oil circuit pressure and flow, and realizing rapid response control of the hydraulic actuator speed.
[0024] The relief valve 4 is a pilot-operated relief valve. The pilot valve controls the action of the main valve and can accurately set the maximum allowable pressure in the second oil passage 13. When the pressure in the second oil passage 13 reaches the set value, the pilot valve acts first, driving the main valve to open and allowing the hydraulic oil to be discharged through the relief channel 12, ensuring that the system pressure is stable within a safe range.
[0025] The damping rod 9 is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and structural strength.
[0026] Working principle: When the hydraulic actuator speed limiting device is working, hydraulic oil flows in from the inlet 7 and enters oil passage 1 8. Part of the hydraulic oil in oil passage 1 8 flows to the outlet passage 18. When it flows through the damping rod 9 in the outlet passage 18, a pressure difference is generated, and then it flows out from the two sets of outlets 6. The other part of the hydraulic oil enters the second oil passage 13 through the connecting passage 11. When it flows through the damping rod 15 in the connecting passage 11, the pressure is further regulated. Part of the hydraulic oil in the second oil passage 13 flows through the connecting passage 11 through the connecting passage 12. The flow path 14 leads to the two-way cartridge valve 10. When the flow passes through the damper 16 in the connecting flow path 14, the pressure is adjusted again. The two-way cartridge valve 10 controls the on / off state and the flow rate. Another part of the hydraulic oil in the oil passage 13 can flow out through the overflow valve 4 at the right end and the overflow channel 12 from the overflow port 17 to achieve overpressure protection. At the same time, the pressure test connector 3 can monitor the pressure in the oil passage 13 in real time to ensure that the entire device works stably according to the set logic and completes the speed limiting control of the hydraulic actuator.
