Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic control technology for railway maintenance machinery, specifically a hydraulic support control valve group. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the requirements for operational stability and safety, railway engineering machinery bogies are equipped with elastic support elements to absorb vibrations during high-speed operation. However, these elastic support elements can alter the working reference during operation, affecting performance. Therefore, a support cylinder is needed between the rigid bogie structure and the car body to shield the elastic support elements during operation. Most support cylinders are single-acting. During operation, oil enters the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, pushing the piston rod to extend and transform the bogie and car body into a rigid, integrated structure. During high-speed operation, the rodless chamber is connected to the oil tank, and the piston rod retracts under the weight of the car body or the action of a return spring, engaging the elastic support elements of the bogie to improve operational stability.

[0003] Traditional hydraulic cylinder control uses two-position two-way, two-position three-way, or two-position four-way directional valves to control the pressure build-up and unloading of the hydraulic cylinder. A check valve is added to the oil inlet of the solenoid valve for locking, and the oil return from the cylinder goes directly to the hydraulic oil tank when depressurization occurs. This control method has two problems: first, if the solenoid valve is suddenly de-energized, the hydraulic cylinder will descend rapidly under the weight of the vehicle, damaging the working equipment; second, if the directional valve core locks or the control circuit malfunctions, the vehicle may be driven without unloading the hydraulic cylinder, posing a safety risk.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a hydraulic support control valve group to ensure that the support cylinder remains locked when the electromagnetic system is de-energized in case of abnormal conditions. At the same time, it can interlock the support cylinder with the electrical program stroke to prevent high-speed driving when the support cylinder is not retracted. Utility Model Content

[0009] A further improvement is that the pressure reducing valve is inserted into the oil port P of the valve body, and the throttle valve, the hydraulic check valve, and the directional valve are stacked sequentially on the pressure reducing valve.

[0010] A further improvement is that the directional valve is a three-position four-way solenoid directional valve or a three-position four-way electro-hydraulic directional valve with a Y-position function in the middle position.

[0011] A further improvement is that the oil port A of the valve body is connected to the rodless chamber of the support cylinder.

[0012] A further improvement is made by sealing the oil port B of the valve body.

[0026] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates specific embodiments of the present invention, making the technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention clearer and more explicit. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a hydraulic support control valve assembly, including a valve body 1. A pressure reducing valve 2, a throttle valve 3, a directional valve 4, a hydraulically controlled check valve 5, a pressure testing connector 6, and a pressure sensor 7 are mounted on the valve body 1. Specifically, the pressure reducing valve 2 is inserted into the oil port P of the valve body 1, and the throttle valve 3, the hydraulically controlled check valve 5, and the directional valve 4 are sequentially stacked on the pressure reducing valve 2. The directional valve 4 is a three-position four-way solenoid directional valve or a three-position four-way electro-hydraulic directional valve with a neutral position of Y.

[0028] Valve body 1 includes six external oil ports: port A, port B, port P, port T, port X, and port M. Port A of valve body 1 is connected to the outlet of hydraulic check valve 5, and the oil passage between port A and the outlet of hydraulic check valve 5 is also connected to port X of valve body 1. Specifically, port A of valve body 1 is connected to the rodless chamber of the support cylinder. Port B of valve body 1 is blocked. Port P of valve body 1 is connected to the inlet of pressure reducing valve 2; port T of valve body 1 is connected to the drain port of pressure reducing valve 2 and port T1 of directional valve 4, respectively.

[0029] The outlet of pressure reducing valve 2 is connected to port M of valve body 1 and the inlet of throttle valve 3, respectively; port A1 of directional valve 4 is connected to the inlet of hydraulic check valve 5, port B1 of directional valve 4 is connected to the control port of hydraulic check valve 5, and port P1 of directional valve 4 is connected to the outlet of throttle valve 3. Specifically, the hydraulic support control valve assembly also includes a pressure testing connector 6, which is threadedly connected to port M of valve body 1. The hydraulic support control valve assembly also includes a pressure sensor 7, which is threadedly connected to port X of valve body 1.

[0030] The pressure reducing valve regulates the system pressure entering the support cylinder based on the working pressure of the support cylinder. The throttle valve is used to regulate the extension speed of the support cylinder. When the solenoid directional valve is in the parallel position, the support cylinder extends; when the solenoid valve is in the cross position, the support cylinder retracts; and when the solenoid directional valve is de-energized and in the neutral position, the support cylinder is locked. When the solenoid directional valve is in the parallel position, the pressure oil at port P1 flows through port A1 to open the hydraulic check valve and enter the support cylinder, pushing the piston rod out. When the solenoid directional valve is in the cross position, the pressure oil at port P1 flows through port B1 to the control port of the hydraulic check valve, opening the hydraulic check valve. The hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the support cylinder flows in the reverse direction through the opened hydraulic check valve, then through port A1 of the solenoid directional valve to port T1, and finally through port T of the valve body to the hydraulic oil tank, causing the piston rod of the support cylinder to retract. When the solenoid directional valve is in the neutral position, the pressure oil at port P1 is blocked, and both the control port and the inlet of the hydraulic check valve are connected to port T of the valve body. The hydraulic check valve is in a reverse locked state, preventing the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the support cylinder from being discharged, and the cylinder is in a locked state. The pressure test connector is used for quick connection with a pressure gauge to display the pressure of the support cylinder system, facilitating pressure adjustment by the pressure reducing valve. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the pressure of the support cylinder and determine whether the support cylinder is in a supported state, thus forming a logical interlock with the operation and travel. When the pressure sensor detects that the cylinder is in a supported state, high-speed travel cannot be performed, and when the pressure sensor detects that the cylinder is in a non-supported state, operation cannot be performed.

[0031] When the oil supply pressure at port P of the hydraulic support control valve assembly 1 exceeds the working pressure of the support cylinder, the pressure reducing valve 2 lowers the supply pressure to its set value to prevent excessive pressure from damaging the support cylinder. The throttle valve 3 regulates the flow rate entering the support cylinder, thereby controlling the extension speed of the support cylinder. The solenoid directional valve 4 switches the oil circuit to control the filling and discharging of the support cylinder.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] During the vehicle body support operation, solenoid directional valve 4's electromagnet a is energized and b is de-energized, and the solenoid directional valve operates in the parallel position. Hydraulic oil from port P of valve body 1 is depressurized by pressure reducing valve 2 and throttle valve 3 before entering port P1 of solenoid directional valve 1. It then passes through port A1 to hydraulic check valve 5 and enters the rodless chamber of the support cylinder from the A inlet pipe of valve body 1. Under the action of pressurized oil, the support cylinder pushes the piston rod to extend and support the vehicle body, thus disabling the elastic support function of the bogie. Pressure sensor 7 transmits the pressure signal to the control module, allowing the working mechanism to proceed to the next action. Simultaneously, the high-speed travel gear shifting program receives a control signal indicating that the support cylinder is in the supported state, preventing high-speed gear shifting and ensuring the vehicle cannot travel at high speed, thus preventing safety accidents caused by high-speed travel under rigid support.

[0034] When the vehicle body is not under support, the solenoid valve 4 de-energizes electromagnet a and energizes electromagnet b, and the solenoid valve operates in the cross position. The hydraulic oil at port P of valve body 1 is de-energized by pressure reducing valve 2 and throttle valve 3, and then enters port P1 of solenoid valve 1. It then goes through port B1 to the control port of hydraulic check valve 5 to open hydraulic check valve 5. The pressure oil in the rodless chamber of the support cylinder goes through the pipeline to port A of valve body 1, then through hydraulic check valve 5, port A1 of solenoid valve 4 to port T1, and then through port T of valve body back to the hydraulic oil tank. Under the weight of the vehicle body or the action of the cylinder return spring, the support cylinder pushes the piston rod to retract, the vehicle body falls, and the elastic support function of the bogie is unlocked.

[0035] When the electromagnet of the solenoid directional valve 4 suddenly loses power, the valve core returns to the neutral position under the action of the return springs at both ends. Both oil ports A1 and B1 of the solenoid directional valve 4 are connected to the oil tank, the hydraulic control check valve 5 is in the closed state, the hydraulic oil in the rodless chamber of the support cylinder cannot be discharged, and the cylinder piston rod will not retract under the weight of the vehicle or the action of the cylinder return spring, preventing the frame from suddenly falling and damaging the working equipment when the working mechanism is not retracted.

Improvements and substitutions based on this utility model using techniques known in the art all fall within the protection scope of this utility model and should be defined by the claims.
