Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic pump technology, specifically to a multi-stage pressure regulation and control device for a hydraulic pump. Background Technology
[0002] In aircraft hydraulic systems, hydraulic pumps, as key power components, play a crucial role in converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. Currently, aviation hydraulic pumps are typically set to a single rated pressure value based on the peak pressure requirements of the hydraulic system. However, the load on an aircraft's hydraulic system varies significantly under different flight conditions: the highest pressure is required only for brief periods during specific flight phases (such as landing gear retraction and flap operation), while lower pressure is sufficient for most of the flight time. This single-pressure operating mode, based on peak pressure design, results in the hydraulic pump outputting high pressure under most low-load conditions, leading to significant energy waste. Furthermore, for airborne electric pumps and engine-driven hydraulic pumps, operation at rated high pressure upon startup generates extremely high input power demands (electrical or mechanical power), significantly increasing the burden on the onboard power supply system and substantially increasing the engine's startup load. Therefore, a technology is urgently needed that can adjust the hydraulic pump output pressure in real-time and precisely according to flight conditions to address the energy efficiency and startup performance issues of existing single-pressure hydraulic pumps. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problems of the prior art, this application proposes a multi-stage pressure regulation and control device for a hydraulic pump, the specific solution of which is as follows:
[0004] A multi-stage pressure regulating control device for a hydraulic pump includes: a plug, a valve seat, a valve body, an adjusting screw, three valve cores, three push rods, and a pressure regulating spring. The left side of the multi-stage pressure regulating control device is sealed by the plug mounted on the valve seat, and the right side is sealed by the adjusting screw. The valve seat and valve body are hollow structures, with the valve body installed in the valve seat and its outer side wall tightly against the inner side wall of the valve seat. The horizontal length of the valve body is less than the horizontal length of the valve seat. The three valve cores are installed in the valve body from left to right: the two valve cores on the left have a structure with a larger outer diameter in the middle section and smaller outer diameters at both ends, while the valve core on the right has a structure with a larger outer diameter in the middle section and smaller outer diameters at both ends. The valve body has a three-section structure with an increasing outer diameter to the right. The outer walls of the middle sections of the three valve cores are all tightly attached to the inner wall of the valve body. The left end face of the rightmost valve core with the largest outer diameter abuts against the rightmost side of the valve body. The outer diameters of the middle sections of the three valve cores decrease sequentially from left to right. Each valve core has a small hole along the horizontal axis, and a push rod is inserted into each small hole. The left end of the pressure regulating spring is installed at the right end of the rightmost push rod, and the right end of the pressure regulating spring is installed in the inner hole of the adjusting screw. The upper end face of the valve seat has oil inlets P3, P1, P2 and oil return T, and the lower end face has P... k Mouth, P kThe valve seat branches into three branches; the valve body has radially penetrating holes a, b, c, d, e, and f sequentially from left to right. Port P3 connects to hole a, port P1 connects to hole c, and port P2 connects to hole e. Holes b, d, and f connect to P... k The three branches of the port are connected; the T port is connected to the cavity where the rightmost push rod is located. In the initial state, holes a, c, and e are respectively connected to the cavities where the left ends of the three valve cores are located. Holes b, d, and f are respectively abutted against the middle sections of the three valve cores. A "one-line" groove is opened on the right end face of the rightmost valve core. A hole g is opened on the middle section of the rightmost valve core. The outer diameter of the push rod corresponding to the right end face of hole g is smaller than the outer diameter of the push rod corresponding to the left side of hole g. Hole g and the "one-line" groove are connected through the cavity formed between the valve core and the push rod. The "one-line" groove is connected to the cavity where the rightmost push rod is located. The three push rods abut against each other end to end.
[0005] Furthermore, the valve body has annular grooves formed on its outer circumference from left to right, and each annular groove is connected to holes a, b, c, d, e, and f respectively.
[0006] Furthermore, the valve seat has P3, P1, P2, and P ports. k Both sides of the opening and the T-shaped opening are equipped with annular sealing rings.
[0007] Furthermore, annular sealing rings are installed on the right side of holes a, b, c, d, e, and f on the valve body.
[0008] Furthermore, the plug contacts the valve seat, and a left-end sealing ring is installed between the contact surfaces.
[0009] Furthermore, a right-end sealing ring is installed between the adjusting screw and the inner wall of the valve seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the outer periphery of the adjusting screw is secured by a lock nut.
[0011] Furthermore, the plug is installed on the valve seat by screws.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the three push rods has a rod head at its right end, and the outer diameter of the rod head is larger than the inner diameter of the small hole through which the push rod passes.
[0013] A control method for the above-mentioned multi-stage pressure regulation and control device includes graded control and regulation in the following three states:
[0014] (1) When oil is supplied to port P1, P3 and P2 are isolated. High-pressure oil flows through hole c into the cavity between the valve body, the leftmost valve core, and the middle valve core. When the oil pressure does not reach the set pressure P1, the middle valve core, under the action of the pressure regulating spring, isolates hole c from hole d. kThe return oil is sequentially connected to port T via holes f, g, and T, and the hydraulic pump operates under pressure P1. When the oil pressure gradually reaches the set pressure P1, the hydraulic pressure overcomes the spring force of the pressure regulating spring, sequentially pushing the middle valve core and its push rod, and finally the push rod of the rightmost valve core to the right. Holes c and d connect, while holes f, g, and T are disconnected, allowing high-pressure oil to flow through P... k The inlet enters the hydraulic pump swashplate variable mechanism;
[0015] (2) When oil is supplied to port P2, P3 and P1 are isolated. High-pressure oil flows through port e into the cavity between the valve body, the rightmost valve core, and the middle valve core. When the oil pressure does not reach the set pressure P2, the middle valve core, under the action of the pressure regulating spring, isolates port e from port f. k The return oil is sequentially connected to port T via orifice f, orifice g, and the hydraulic pump operates under pressure P2. When the oil pressure gradually reaches the set pressure P2, the hydraulic pressure overcomes the spring force of the pressure regulating spring, pushing the rightmost valve core and its push rod to the right. Orifice e connects to orifice f, while orifice f, orifice g, and port T are disconnected. High-pressure oil then flows through port P... k The inlet enters the hydraulic pump swashplate variable mechanism;
[0016] (3) When oil is supplied to port P3, P1 and P2 are isolated. High-pressure oil flows through hole a into the cavity between the valve body, the left valve core, and the plug. When the oil pressure does not reach the set pressure P3, the intermediate valve core, under the action of the pressure regulating spring, isolates hole a from hole b. k The return oil is sequentially connected to port T via orifice f, orifice g, and the hydraulic pump operates under pressure P3. When the oil pressure gradually reaches the set pressure P3, the hydraulic pressure overcomes the spring force of the pressure regulating spring, pushing the leftmost valve core and its push rod, as well as the push rods in the middle and right valve cores, to move to the right. Orifice a connects with orifice b, while orifice f, orifice g are disconnected from port T. High-pressure oil then flows through port P... k The inlet enters the hydraulic pump swashplate variable mechanism;
[0017] The pressure of the high-pressure oil is P3. <P1<P2。
[0018] The multi-stage pressure regulation and control device of this application can be widely used in aviation variable displacement hydraulic pumps. It can adjust the working pressure of the hydraulic pump according to the aircraft's flight status. Under high-pressure load flight conditions, the hydraulic pump operates at high pressure, providing high pressure to the hydraulic system; under low-pressure load flight conditions, the hydraulic pump operates at low pressure, providing low pressure to the hydraulic system; at startup, the hydraulic pump operates at its lowest pressure, enabling it to start with minimal power loss, reducing the engine's starting burden or the aircraft's power supply. The hydraulic pump can switch between multiple pressure modes, reducing the increase in useless power caused by increased hydraulic system pressure, lowering system heat generation and energy loss, and achieving energy conservation, emission reduction, and optimized energy allocation.

From left to right, the valve body 5 has radially penetrating holes a, b, c, d, e, and f. From left to right, the valve body 5 also has annular grooves on its outer circumference, each groove connecting to hole a, b, c, d, e, and f respectively. This allows oil to be guided into the outlets even if the valve body 5 is misaligned with the valve seat 3. Outlet P3 connects to hole a, outlet P1 to hole c, and outlet P2 to hole e.

A left-end sealing ring 2 is installed between the plug 1 and the valve seat 3 to prevent oil leakage. A right-end sealing ring 16 is installed between the adjusting screw 8 and the inner wall of the valve seat 3 to prevent oil leakage from the return oil chamber. The adjusting screw 8 is secured by a lock nut 7.
