[0002] Hydraulic power units are the core power units of industrial equipment. They use an electric motor to drive a hydraulic pump to generate high-pressure oil, which controls actuators (cylinders, motors) to complete mechanical actions such as pushing, pulling, and rotating. Their applications include: 1. Power transmission: replacing mechanical transmission to achieve high-torque, high-precision motion; 2. Automated control: working with valves and sensors to precisely adjust speed and force; 3. Multifunctional adaptability: widely used in machine tools, injection molding machines, construction machinery, and other fields.

The motor's output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft of a vane pump. The inlet and outlet of the vane pump are both connected to the oil tank. The vane pump has an oil chamber located between the inlet and outlet, and the rotating shaft extends into this chamber.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-6 An oil-cooled hydraulic power unit includes an oil tank 1, which is a storage container for hydraulic oil and can be equipped with a level gauge 17 to monitor the oil level. A first evaporator 2 and a second evaporator 3 are installed inside the oil tank 1, arranged side-by-side. An oil manifold block 4, a compressor 5, an oil pump 6, a motor 7, and a condenser 8 are installed outside the oil tank 1. The first end of the compressor 5 is connected to the condenser 8 via a pipe 9, and the condenser 8 is connected to the second evaporator 3 via a pipe 9. The second evaporator 3 is connected to the first evaporator 2 via a pipe 9, and the first evaporator 2 is connected to the second end of the compressor 5 via a pipe 9. The oil pump 6 is installed at the first end of the motor 7 and is driven by the motor 7. The oil pump 6 is connected to the oil manifold block 4 via a pipe. A fan 10 is installed at the second end of the motor 7, and the motor 7 drives the fan 10 to rotate. The rotation of the fan 10 generates forced airflow, accelerating the airflow on the surface of the condenser 8 fins, quickly carrying away the heat released by the liquefaction of the refrigerant, and preventing excessively high condensing pressure.

[0034] In use, the motor 7 and the oil pump 6 can be directly coupled by a rigid coupling. The motor 7 drives the oil pump 6 to output high-pressure oil. The outlet of the oil pump 6 can be connected to the oil inlet of the oil circuit block 4 through a rigid pipe, and then distributed to each actuator. The oil circuit block 4 can collect the high-temperature return oil from the actuators and return it to the oil tank 1 after passing through the oil filter. After entering the oil tank 1, the high-temperature return oil is cooled by the first evaporator 2 and the second evaporator 3. The compressor 5 compresses the gaseous refrigerant and outputs high-temperature and high-pressure gas to the condenser 8. The condenser 8 is cooled by the fan 10. After the refrigerant is liquefied, it is throttled by the expansion valve. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and vaporizes in the evaporator, cooling the hydraulic oil in the oil tank 1. A temperature detector can be installed in the oil tank 1 to monitor the temperature of the hydraulic oil in real time. When the temperature reaches the preset value (such as 28 to 31 degrees Celsius), the compressor is started to cool the hydraulic oil. This oil-cooled hydraulic station has a reasonable structural design and occupies less space; the condenser 8 is cooled by air through the fan 10, and the evaporator is used to cool the hydraulic oil; this application has good heat dissipation and cooling effect, and the cooling speed is faster.

[0035] In some embodiments, a collector duct 11 is installed at one end of the condenser 8. The collector duct 11 is a cylindrical body that runs through the middle. One end of the motor 7 and the fan 10 extend into the collector duct 11. Multiple heat dissipation strips 70 are provided on the outer wall of the motor 7. A heat dissipation groove 71 is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation strips 70. The heat dissipation strips 70 and the heat dissipation groove 71 are used to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the air flow speed.

[0036] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation strips 70 and heat dissipation grooves 71 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the outer wall of the motor 7, making the heat dissipation more uniform; the motor 7 is fixed to the top of the oil tank 1 by a U-shaped base 12, and a through air guide hole 120 is provided in the base 12 to increase the heat dissipation area and facilitate air flow.

[0037] In some embodiments, an oil suction filter 13 is installed in the oil tank 1, which is connected to the oil pump 6 through the pipe 9. The oil suction filter 13 is used to filter impurities in the hydraulic oil. A return oil pipe 14 and an inlet oil pipe 15 are also installed on the oil tank 1. The return oil pipe 14 can lead the low-pressure oil after the hydraulic actuator (such as the oil cylinder or hydraulic motor) has done work back to the oil tank 1 to complete the circulation. The inlet oil pipe 15 can be used to inject hydraulic oil into the oil tank 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, the oil tank 1 includes a housing 100 and a cover plate 101. The oil manifold block 4, compressor 5, oil pump 6, motor 7, and condenser 8 are sequentially installed on top of the cover plate 101, resulting in a convenient and compact layout that reduces space occupation. The oil manifold block 4 is located at the first end, and the condenser 8 is located at the second end. The oil manifold block 4, also known as a hydraulic valve block or integrated block, is the core control device of the hydraulic system. It integrates hydraulic components such as directional valves, pressure valves, and flow valves, replacing scattered pipe connections, saving space and reducing leakage risks. It can achieve efficient oil distribution through precision-machined cross-channels (such as pilot oil circuits and main oil circuits), reducing pressure loss. Its modular design allows for individual disassembly and maintenance of the valve block without affecting other components, facilitating maintenance.

[0039] In some embodiments, the inner bottom surface of the box 100 is an inclined surface 102, which is used to guide the waste to gather at one end. A drain pipe 16 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the box 100, which is located at the end of the inclined surface 102 that is closest to the ground.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
