Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck crane technology, and in particular to a hydraulic oil cooling device for truck cranes, which aims to solve the problems of high cost, high failure rate and high noise of existing hydraulic oil coolers. Background Technology

[0002] Existing hydraulic oil cooling devices for truck cranes are typically installed below the slewing platform of the crane's upper structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the gearbox 600 installed at the rear of the engine drives the power take-off shaft 610 to rotate. The power take-off shaft 610 drives the hydraulic pump 500 installed on the crane chassis to rotate. The inlet of the hydraulic pump 500 is connected to the outlet of the hydraulic oil tank 200 through a pipe. The outlet of the hydraulic pump 500 is connected to the first inlet 410 of the collector ring 400 installed on the crane chassis through a pipe. The first outlet 420 of the collector ring 400 is connected to the inlet of the hydraulic valve 300 installed on the crane's upper turntable through a pipe. The outlet of the hydraulic valve 300 is connected to the inlet of the hydraulic oil radiator 900 through a pipe. The outlet of the hydraulic oil radiator 900 is connected to the second inlet 430 of the collector ring 400 through a pipe. The second outlet 440 of the collector ring 400 is connected to the inlet of the hydraulic oil tank 200 through a pipe. When the hydraulic oil temperature rises, the electric fan 910 of the hydraulic oil radiator 900 is turned on. The electric fan 910 carries away the heat from the heat exchanger fins in the hydraulic oil radiator 900, thereby cooling the hydraulic oil.

[0003] However, this existing technology has the following drawbacks:

[0004] (1) High cost, requiring a separate cooling fan, which increases manufacturing costs.

[0005] (2) High failure rate, the cooling fan is prone to water ingress leading to failure, and the operating current is large, which increases the electrical load and electrical failure points of the whole machine.

[0006] (3) The electric fan generates a lot of noise when it is working, which affects the working environment of the operator.

[0007] Patent application number CN201420417627.2 relates to a crane and its hydraulic oil radiator, comprising a core having an oil inlet pipe, an oil outlet pipe, and fins; the horizontally arranged oil inlet pipe is positioned side-by-side below the oil outlet pipe, and several fins are arranged side-by-side between the oil inlet and oil outlet pipes, with each fin connected to both the oil inlet and oil outlet pipes. This invention allows hydraulic oil to fill the entire interior of the core, resulting in more uniform heat dissipation, reduced pressure loss, and improved heat dissipation efficiency.

[0008] However, the aforementioned patented technology also includes a cooling fan, which cannot solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, nor does it provide any technical inspiration for solving the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic oil cooling device for truck cranes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0010] (1) How to eliminate the noise problem of electric fans without using them.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0012] A hydraulic oil cooling device for a truck crane;

[0013] This includes hydraulic oil heat exchangers, hydraulic oil tanks, hydraulic pumps, manifolds, and hydraulic valves;

[0014] The hydraulic oil heat exchanger is installed below the intercooler and in front of the engine coolant radiator.

[0015] Hydraulic oil tanks are used to store hydraulic oil;

[0016] The slip ring is installed on the crane chassis to connect the hydraulic pump and hydraulic valves, enabling the transmission of hydraulic oil.

[0017] The hydraulic valve is installed on the upper turntable of the crane to control the flow of hydraulic oil;

[0018] The hydraulic pump draws hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank into the hydraulic pump inlet. The hydraulic oil then passes through the hydraulic pump, the manifold ring, the hydraulic valve, and the manifold ring again before finally reaching the hydraulic oil heat exchanger. In the hydraulic oil heat exchanger, the hydraulic oil exchanges heat with the engine coolant heat exchanger. The cooled hydraulic oil then returns to the hydraulic oil tank through pipes.

[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a power take-off shaft, one end of which is mounted on the gearbox at the rear of the engine, and the other end of which is connected to the hydraulic pump of the crane chassis. The power take-off shaft drives the hydraulic pump to rotate, drawing hydraulic oil from the hydraulic oil tank and outputting it.

[0021] With this structure, the hydraulic oil heat exchanger is installed below the intercooler and in front of the engine coolant heat exchanger, utilizing the engine cooling system to dissipate hydraulic oil heat. This truck crane's hydraulic oil cooling device eliminates the need for an electric fan, reducing crane manufacturing costs, lowering the overall vehicle failure rate, and eliminating noise sources on the crane.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this hydraulic oil cooling device for truck cranes has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) The electric fan was eliminated, reducing manufacturing costs.

[0024] (2) It avoids the failure caused by water entering the cooling fan, and reduces the electrical load and failure points.

[0025] (3) It eliminated the noise of the electric fan and improved the working environment for operators. Attached Figure Description
