Description
- The present invention relates to a hydraulic system that can control liquid flow of an energy converter that can move mechanical components on a machine, and more particularly to a device that recovers energy from an energy converter and subsequently provides certain power for operation by using the recovered energy.
- In engineering machinery and agricultural equipment, various mechanical components are often operated by means of fluid transmission. For example, an excavator is a common type of engineering machinery, and lifting and dropping of an excavator boom are often implemented by acting on an oil cylinder by hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil cylinder includes a cylinder with a piston, the piston divides the cylinder into two chambers, a rod connected with the piston is connected to the boom, and the oil cylinder is connected with the main body of the excavator, to implement rise and drop of a support by extending the rod outwards from the oil cylinder and retracting the rod towards the oil cylinder. During operation of the excavator, for example, positions of working devices such as the boom, the stick, the bucket and the corresponding oil cylinder are often constantly adjusted, and especially the boom is often in a cyclic movement process of being lifted from a low position to a high position and then dropped from a high position to a low position, as the boom and the stick and the bucket that act on the boom are large in mass, in terms of the principle of energy conversion, the support can be only dropped under the action of gravity, and if dropping resistance is not provided, the dropping process is prone to weightlessness. In order to prevent weightlessness when the boom drops, a conventional solution is to keep the hydraulic oil cylinder having certain back pressure; as a result, a liquid flow return pipeline is often provided with a throttling device, where hydraulic oil flows back to an oil tank through the throttling device. Consequently, potential energy of the boom is converted to heat energy, which is wasted away. To prevent great increase in the temperature of hydraulic oil from bringing hazards to the system, it is further necessary to dispose a heat-dissipating device.

- For example, when pressure oil is introduced into two working cavities and of the two units of the energy converters and the other two working cavities are reconnected to the oil tank, the units of the energy converters synchronously lift the boom through the rod pistons, and, at this time, input hydraulic energy is converted to potential energy of the boom; when pressure oil is introduced into the two working cavities of the two units of the energy converters and the other two working cavities are connected externally, the boom drives the rod pistons of the units of the energy converters to synchronously drop, and, at this time, potential energy of the boom is converted to hydraulic energy. When operations are not performed, the pressure energy retaining valve not only can prevent leakage of pressure oil in the two working cavities of the energy converters, to retain the boom in situ, but also can prevent the pressure oil in the two working cavities of the energy converters from having too high pressure. During a lifting operation, working oil can be respectively introduced into the second oil port and the sixth oil port unidirectionally from the first and fifth oil ports, and during a dropping operation, the second control signal acts on the reverse control port, the direction valve is reversed, and the pressure oil from the two working cavities of the energy converters is respectively introduced into the first oil port and the fifth oil port from the second oil port and the sixth oil port.
- For example, when the first control port and the second control port have no signal function, the switchover valve is at the middle position, and conventional lifting and dropping operations of the boom without potential energy harvesting can be performed; when the first control port has a signal function and the switchover valve is at the left position, a loop connected to the third main oil port of the main valve, the first main oil port and the fourth main oil port, the fifth oil port and the sixth oil port of the pressure energy retaining valve, and the second working cavity oil port of an unit of the energy converter forms a passage, and a loop connected to the oil port of the energy collector, the second main oil port and the third main oil port, the first oil port and the second oil port of the pressure energy retaining valve, and the first working cavity oil port of an other unit of the energy converter also forms a passage. When the second control port has a signal function and the switchover valve is at the right position, a loop connected to the third main oil port of the main valve, the first main oil port and the third main oil port of the switchover valve, the first oil port and the second oil port of the pressure energy retaining valve, and the first working cavity oil port of an unit of the energy converter forms a passage, and a loop connected to the oil port of the energy collector, the second main oil port and the fourth main oil port of the switchover valve, the fifth oil port and the sixth oil port of the pressure energy retaining valve, and the second working cavity oil port of an other unit of the energy converter forms a passage.
- Therefore, by changing signal functions of the first control port and the second control port, it is ensured that third main oil port of the main valve, the oil port of the energy collector, the first working cavity oil port of an unit of the energy converter and the second working cavity oil port of an other unit of the energy converter are alternately switched on, to achieve the objectives of harvesting and utilizing potential energy and exchanging and cooling hot oil of the energy collector.
- The logical control member can respectively control the signal functions of the first control port and the second control port of the switchover valve according to the pressure of the first main oil path or the second main oil path, can directly or indirectly introduce the first control signal and the second control signal into the first control port and the second control port of the switchover valve when pressure of the first main oil path or the second main oil path does not reach a set value of the logical control member, and, otherwise, removes the signal functions of the first control port and the second control port of the switchover valve.
- Preferably, the first control signal and the second control signal may be hydraulic pressure signals and/or electrical signals, and may be directly or indirectly taken from an operating handle.
- Beneficial effects brought about by the present invention are as follows: the present invention is applied to recycling of potential energy of an excavator boom, charges the potential energy of the boom into an energy collector through corresponding control when the boom drops, and when an excavator is performing arm lifting and energy consumption operations, releases stored oil to directly do work by controlling the switchover valve, and reduces input power of a prime mover.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , in terms of the units 1.1 and 1.2 of the energy converters: when pressure oil is introduced into the two working cavities 1.1c and 1.2c of the units 1.1 and 1.2 of the energy converters and the other two working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b are reconnected to the oil tank, the units 1.1 and 1.2 of the energy converters synchronously lift the boom through the rod pistons 1.1a and 1.2a, and at this time, input hydraulic energy can be converted to potential energy of the boom; when pressure oil is introduced into the two working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b of the units 1.1 and 1.2 of the energy converters and the other two working cavities 1.1c and 1.2c are connected externally, the boom drives the rod pistons 1.1a and 1.2a of the units 1.1 and 1.2 of the energy converters to synchronously drop, and at this time, potential energy of the boom is converted to hydraulic energy. - In terms of the pressure energy retaining valve 2: when lifting and dropping operations of the boom are not performed, the pressure energy retaining valve not only can prevent leakage of pressure oil in the two working cavities 1.1c and 1.2c of the energy converters, to retain the boom in situ, but also can prevent that the pressure oil in the two working cavities 1.1c and 1.2c of the energy converter has too high pressure and therefore damages components.
- In terms of the switchover valve 3: by correspondingly controlling signals that act on the first control port Ka4 and the second control port Kb4, the following functions can be achieved: 1) oil paths from the oil port A of the main valve and the oil port X of the energy collector to the two cavities 1.1c and 1.2c of the energy converters are alternately switched on, which not only achieves the objective of harvesting and utilizing potential energy but also can achieve exchange and cooling of hot oil of the energy collector; 2) when lifting and dropping operations of the boom are performed, for example, the first main oil path E and the second main oil path F are in a state in which the pressure reaches a set pressure value of the logical control member, the logical control member removes a signal acting on the first control port Ka4 or the second control port Kb4, the switchover valve returns to the middle position, and conventional operations without energy conservation can be performed.
- In terms of the energy collector 4: it not only can collect dropping potential energy of the boom, but also can provide power when the boom is lifted.
- In terms of the logical control member 5: it is mainly used to detect pressure of the first main oil path E or the second main oil path), for example, when the pressure does not reach the set value of the logical control member, it directly or indirectly introduces the first control signal Signal-a and the second control signal Signal-b into the first control port Ka4 and the second control port Kb4 of the switchover valve for reverse control, and otherwise, it removes acting signals of the first control port Ka4 and the second control port Kb4 of the switchover valve.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , in the lifting operation process: an operating handle inputs a signal to enable the first control signal Signal-a to be effective, the main valve is switched to the left position under the action of the first control signal Signal-a, pressure oil on an oil path P of the main valve can be introduced into the port A of the main valve, and return oil of the port B of the main valve can be introduced into an oil return path T. Herein, the switchover valve has the following two working states: - 1) If pressure (determined by load) of the port A of the main valve does not reach the set value of the logical control member, the logical control member introduces the first control signal Signal-a into the first control port Ka4 of the switchover valve to switch the switchover valve to the left position. At this time, pressure from the main valve enters the working cavity 1.2c of the energy converter through the port A of the main valve, the first main oil port P1 and the fourth main oil port B of the switchover valve, the fifth oil port Ib and the sixth oil port IIb of the pressure energy retaining valve and the port A2 of the energy converter. Besides, pressure oil of the energy collector enters the working cavity 1.1c of the energy converter through the X port, the second main oil port P2 and the third main oil port A of the switchover valve, the first oil port Ia and the second oil port IIa of the pressure energy retaining valve and the port A1 of the energy converter. At this time, return oil of the working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b of the energy converters can flow back to the oil tank through the port B of the main valve and the oil return path T of the main valve, and thus the energy converter does work on and lifts the boom under the action of the energy collector and the pressure oil from the main valve, and required power of the prime mover is automatically decreased due to assistant functions of the energy collector.
- 2) If pressure (determined by load) of the port A of the main valve reaches or exceeds the set value of the logical control member, the logical control member removes a signal function of the first control port Ka4 of the switchover valve, and the switchover valve works in the middle position. At this time, pressure oil from the main valve is divided into two channels after passing through the port A of the main valve and the first main oil port P1 of the switchover valve, one channel enters the working cavity 1.1c of the energy converter from the third main oil port A, the first oil port Ia and the second oil port IIa of the pressure energy retaining valve and the port A1 of the energy converter, and the other channel enters the working cavity 1.2c of the energy converter from the fourth main oil port B, the fifth oil port Ib and the sixth oil port IIb of the pressure energy retaining valve and the port A2 of the energy converter. Return oil of the working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b of the energy converters can flow back to the oil tank through the port B of the main valve and the oil return path T, and thus the energy converter does work on and lifts the boom without energy conservation under the action of the pressure oil from the main valve.
- In the dropping operation process: the operating handle inputs a signal to enable the second control signal Signal-b to be effective, the main valve is switched to the right position under the action of the second control signal Signal-b, pressure oil on an oil path P of the main valve can be introduced into the port B of the main valve, return oil of the port A of the main valve can be introduced into the oil return path T. Herein, the switchover valve also has the following two working states:
- 1) If pressure (determined by load) of the port B of the main valve does not reach the set value of the logical control member, the logical control member introduces the second control signal Signal-b into the second control port Kb4 of the switchover valve to switch the switchover valve to the right position. At this time, pressure oil from the main valve enters the working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b of the energy converters through the port B of the main valve, oil of the working cavity 1.1c of the
unit 1.) of the energy converter enters the energy collector through the second oil port IIa and the first oil port Ia of the pressure energy retaining valve, the third main oil port A and the second main oil port P2, and oil of the working cavity 1.2c of the unit 1.2 of the energy converter flows back to the oil tank through the sixth oil port IIb and the fifth oil port Ib of the pressure energy retaining valve, the third main oil port A, the first main oil port P1, the port A of the main valve and the oil return path T. As the port A of the main valve has small back pressure, the dropping back pressure of the boom is mainly generated by the energy collector, the dropping potential energy of the boom is mainly stored in the energy collector. - 2) If pressure (determined by load) of the port B of the main valve reaches or exceeds the set value of the logical control member, the logical control member removes a signal function of the second control port Kb4 of the switchover valve, and the switchover valve is not reversed and works in the middle position. At this time, pressure oil from the main valve enters the working cavities 1.1b and 1.2b of the energy converters through the port B of the main valve, oil of the working cavities 1.1c and 1.2c of the energy converters each passes through the second oil port IIa, the first oil port Ia, the sixth oil port IIb and the fifth oil port Ib of the pressure energy retaining valve, and the third main oil port A and the fourth main oil port B of the switchover valve and then enters the oil return path T from the first main oil port P1 of the switchover valve and the port A of the main valve and flows back to the oil tank, and the boom can perform conventional dropping operations without energy storage.
- The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in any way. For persons skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variations.
