Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a hydraulic control system, which is mainly used in the hydraulic control system of shearing shears for excavator attachments, and belongs to the field of excavator hydraulic systems. Background Technology

[0002] Eagle beak shears are widely used in the demolition of abandoned steel structures. During transportation and blade replacement, the jaws must be kept fully open. However, existing eagle beak shears exhibit a phenomenon where the jaws automatically close when the machine is stopped, posing a certain safety hazard.

[0003] Existing eagle-beak shears cannot maintain a constant jaw opening when the machine is stopped; some manufacturers improve the pressure holding capacity of the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder by increasing the spring stiffness of the hydraulic control check valve inside the speed-increasing valve.

[0004] Increasing the spring stiffness of the pilot-operated check valve can alleviate the problem of blades falling off on their own to some extent. However, when the upper blade is subjected to a large external impact, the jaws still close, so it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. In addition, increasing the spring stiffness will increase the pressure loss of the pilot-operated check valve in the forward direction, reducing the oil regeneration efficiency during shearing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a hydraulic control system for shearing and pliers-type tools, which utilizes the selectivity of the shuttle valve to achieve the pressure-holding function of the small chamber of the cylinder under specific working conditions.

[0025] It should be noted that these accompanying drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the speed-increasing valve in the prior art is given, and its working process is as follows.

[0029] The large chamber of the eagle-beak shear cylinder is connected to port B1, and the small chamber is connected to port A1. Ports A and B are directly connected to the directional valve. Initially, the small chamber of the cylinder is full of oil, the large chamber is empty, and the jaws are fully open.

[0030] During the jaw closing process, the movement of the hydraulic cylinder is divided into two stages: acceleration and shearing.

[0031] In the first stage, the blade does not cut the object. The oil from the main valve flows through port B of the speed-increasing valve to port B1 and then enters the large chamber of the cylinder, pushing the piston out. At this time, since the object is not cut, the pressure in the large chamber of the cylinder is low, which causes the balance valve to fail to open. Therefore, the oil in the small chamber enters the large chamber of the cylinder through the hydraulic control check valve to achieve the speed-increasing function.

[0032] In the second stage, when the blade cuts into the object, the pressure in the large chamber of the oil cylinder rises, causing the pressure acting on port 3 of the balance valve to rise synchronously. When the pressure is higher than the spring force of the balance valve, the balance valve opens, and the oil in the small chamber of the oil cylinder enters the speed-increasing valve through port A1 and then flows directly back to port A through the balance valve. At this time, the hydraulic control check valve stops at ports 1 and 2, stopping the speed-increasing function.

[0033] During the opening of the jaws, the high pressure at port A acts on port 3 of the hydraulic control check valve, forcing the hydraulic control check valve to be in the closed state. The oil enters the small chamber of the oil cylinder through the bypass check valve in the balance valve, pushing the piston to retract.

[0034] When the machine needs to be transported or the blades replaced, the blade edge must be kept fully open. In this state, the large chamber of the hydraulic cylinder is fully compressed, and the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder is filled with oil. At this time, the hydraulic control check valve can freely open in one direction from port 1 to port 2, and the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder cannot maintain pressure, causing the blade to fall down on its own.

[0035] To address this problem, this utility model provides a hydraulic control system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a speed-increasing valve (composed of a balance valve 100 and a hydraulically controlled check valve 200), a shuttle valve 400, and a hydraulically controlled directional valve 300. The speed-increasing valve includes ports A1, B1, A, and B. Port B1 is connected to the large chamber of the cylinder, and port A1 is connected to the small chamber of the cylinder. The inlet of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 300 is connected to port A1, and the outlet of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 300 is connected to the first inlet (port 1 in the figure) of the shuttle valve 400. The control port of the hydraulically controlled directional valve 300 is also shown. Connected to port B, when a preset pressure oil flows into the control port, the hydraulic directional valve 300 is displaced and disconnects its inlet and outlet ports; the second inlet port of the shuttle valve 400 (i.e. port 2 in the figure) is connected to the outlet port of the balance valve 100 (i.e. port 2 in the figure), and the outlet port of the shuttle valve 400 (i.e. port 3 in the figure) is connected to the control port of the hydraulic check valve 200 (i.e. port 3 in the figure). When a preset pressure oil flows into the control port, the hydraulic check valve 300 is always in the closed state.

[0036] Further options, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inlet of the hydraulic check valve 200 (port 1 in the figure) is connected to port A1, and the outlet of the hydraulic check valve 200 (port 2 in the figure) is connected to port B1. The inlet of the balance valve 100 (port 1 in the figure) is connected to port A1, the outlet of the balance valve 100 (port 2 in the figure) is connected to port A, and the control port of the balance valve 100 (port 3 in the figure) is connected to port B1. When a preset pressure oil flows into the control port, the balance valve 100 opens to connect the inlet and outlet. The balance valve 100 also has a bypass check valve inside, with its inlet connected to port A and its outlet connected to port A1.

[0037] Further options, such as Figure 2 As shown, a throttling orifice is provided in the oil circuit between the control port and the B oil port of the hydraulic directional valve 300.

[0038] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the working process of the hydraulic control system is as follows.

[0039] When the jaws close due to external force, the pressure in the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder increases, while the pressure in the large chamber decreases and tends to suck in air. The hydraulic control directional valve remains in the left position under the action of the spring force. The high-pressure oil in the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder is introduced into the hydraulic control check valve 3 through the hydraulic control directional valve and shuttle valve port 1, so that the hydraulic control check valve is always in the closed state, thereby realizing the pressure holding function of the small chamber of the hydraulic cylinder and avoiding the jaw closing phenomenon caused by external force in the static state.

[0040] Furthermore, the hydraulic control system does not affect the cylinder speed-up function during the shearing process.

[0041] When the piston extends, oil enters through port B of the speed-increasing valve. The hydraulically controlled directional valve overcomes the spring force and operates in the right-hand position, preventing the pressure oil in the small chamber of the cylinder from acting on port 1 of the shuttle valve. The hydraulically controlled check valve operates unidirectionally from port 1 to port 2, thus ensuring the speed-increasing function of the cylinder during shearing. When the cylinder retracts, the high-pressure oil from port A of the speed-increasing valve acts simultaneously on ports 3 and 1 of the hydraulically controlled check valve through port 2 of the shuttle valve and the bypass check valve inside the balance valve. Therefore, the hydraulically controlled check valve cannot open, ensuring the cylinder retracts normally.
