The invention discloses a mechanical follow-up type
rotation control system and a control method. The
system comprises an operating mechanism, a hydraulic valve, a differential mechanism and a follow-up mechanism, a
bevel gear of the operating mechanism, the differential mechanism and a follow-up rod fluted disc of the follow-up mechanism form a planetary gear set, and the hydraulic valve is connected with a planetary disc of the differential mechanism through a fork lug connector; when the operating mechanism is rotated, a
bevel gear drives a planetary plate of the differential mechanism to rotate, the planetary plate drives a flow dividing valve to move to connect an oil way of a hydraulic valve, high-pressure oil pushes the executing mechanism to rotate, the follow-up mechanism rotates reversely along with the executing mechanism, and a follow-up rod fluted disc drives the planetary plate to rotate reversely. And the planetary plate drives the
shunt valve to reversely move and reset and
cut off an oil path of the hydraulic valve, and the actuating mechanism stops acting and stays at an indicating position of the operating panel, so that accurate control of the
steering system is realized. Compared with the prior art, the
control system and the control method have the advantages that the
response sensitivity, the accuracy and the reliability are high, the application depth and the application breadth of ultra-large wheel type steering equipment working under extreme working conditions are particularly expanded, and safety guarantee is better provided for the equipment and personnel.
