[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: a plunger pump flow adaptive adjustment mechanism, including a plunger pump body 1. An oil inlet 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the plunger pump body 1 to facilitate oil entry into the plunger pump body 1. An oil outlet 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the plunger pump body 1 away from the oil inlet 3 to better allow oil to leave the plunger pump body 1. A first mounting plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the oil inlet 3. A fixing ring 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the first mounting plate 7. A rotating plate 8 is rotatably connected inside the fixing ring 12. The rotating plate 8 rotates along the interior of the fixing ring 12. A first sliding groove 9 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 8. The rotation of the rotating plate 8 causes the first sliding groove 9 to rotate. The interior of the first sliding groove 9 slides... A baffle 13 is connected to the first slide groove 9. The first slide groove 9 rotates, causing the baffle 13 to move within the first slide groove 9. A second mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed ring 12. The second mounting plate 14, the rotating plate 8, and the first mounting plate 7 all have a connecting port 18 that penetrates their surfaces, allowing oil to enter the oil inlet 3 through the connecting port 18. A pressure sensor 5 is installed inside the oil outlet 4 to monitor the pressure of the oil outlet 4 in real time. A microcontroller 2 is installed on one side of the plunger pump body 1. When the system workload changes and the pressure of the oil outlet 4 changes, the second slide groove 15 transmits the pressure signal to the microcontroller 2. The microcontroller 2 analyzes and processes the pressure signal and compares it with the preset pressure value.

[0022] Furthermore, a second groove 15 penetrating its surface is provided on one side of the second mounting plate 14, and a connecting block 17 is slidably connected inside the second groove 15, and the connecting block 17 moves along the inside of the second groove 15.

[0023] Furthermore, one side of the connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to the baffle 13, and the movement of the baffle 13 causes the connecting block 17 to move as well.

[0024] Furthermore, a connecting plate 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 8, and the moving connecting plate 10 causes the rotating plate 8 to rotate.

[0025] Furthermore, an electric telescopic rod 11 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed ring 12. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 10. If the pressure value is higher than the preset upper limit, the microcontroller 2 sends a control command to the electric telescopic rod 11. The electric telescopic rod 11 rotates the rotating plate 8. The rotating plate 8 moves with the first slide groove 9 and the baffle 13. The baffle 13 moves with the connecting block 17 in the second slide groove 15. Multiple sets of baffles 13 move, partially blocking the connection port 18, reducing the amount of oil entering the oil inlet 3, thereby reducing the output flow of the plunger pump and lowering the pressure at the oil outlet 4. If the pressure value is lower than the preset lower limit, under the action of the electric telescopic rod 11, multiple sets of baffles 13 move away from one side of the connection port 18, increasing the area of ​​the connection port 18, increasing the amount of oil entering the oil inlet 3, increasing the output flow of the plunger pump, and causing the pressure at the oil outlet 4 to rise again.

[0026] Furthermore, a third sliding groove 16 is provided on one side of the fixing ring 12, and the outer side of the connecting plate 10 is slidably connected to the third sliding groove 16, and the connecting plate 10 moves along the inside of the third sliding groove 16.

[0027] Furthermore, a connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the second mounting plate 14, through which oil is introduced.

[0028] During operation, the pressure sensor 5 built into the oil outlet 4 collects the system pressure signal in real time and transmits the data synchronously to the microcontroller 2 on one side of the plunger pump body 1. The microcontroller 2 presets the normal operating pressure range of the system as the reference value for flow regulation. When the system load changes and causes the pressure at the oil outlet 4 to deviate from the preset range, the microcontroller 2 analyzes and compares the pressure signal. If the pressure is higher than the preset upper limit, it is determined that the load is too large and the output flow needs to be reduced; if the pressure is lower than the preset lower limit, it is determined that the load is too small and the output flow needs to be increased. Subsequently, the microcontroller 2 sends an action command to the electric telescopic rod 11. When it is necessary to reduce the flow, the electric telescopic rod 11 retracts, driving the rotating plate 8 to rotate along the fixed ring 12 through the connecting plate 10. The first sliding groove 9 of the rotating plate 8 rotates synchronously, pushing the baffle. The baffle 13 slides along the second groove 15 of the second mounting plate 14. Multiple baffles 13 cooperate to block the connection port 18, reducing the amount of oil entering the oil inlet 3, thereby reducing the output flow of the plunger pump and causing the pressure to drop back to the normal range. When the flow needs to be increased, the electric telescopic rod 11 extends, driving the rotating plate 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. The baffle 13 moves outward under the constraint of the first groove 9 and the second groove 15, releasing the blockage of the connection port 18, increasing the oil intake, increasing the output flow, and raising the pressure back to the preset range. The fixed ring 12, the first mounting plate 7 and the second mounting plate 14 form a continuous oil circuit through the connection port 18. The sliding cooperation between the rotating plate 8 and the baffle 13 ensures the stability of the adjustment process. The guiding effect of the connecting block 17 and the second groove 15 prevents the baffle 13 from shifting, ensuring the accuracy of the flow adjustment.
