The hydraulic energy storage circuit provided by the embodiment is used for the engineering machinery. The hydraulic energy storage loop is used for communicating a hydraulic actuating element to be saved and a hydraulic pipeline to be actuated of the engineering machinery, so that the recovered and accumulated hydraulic energy of the hydraulic actuating element to be saved is transmitted to the hydraulic pipeline to be actuated.
Referring to fig. 1-5, the present embodiment provides a hydraulic accumulator circuit 1 including an accumulator assembly, a reversing valve assembly, a pressure sensor assembly and a controller 17.
The inlet of the accumulator assembly is used for communicating the hydraulic actuating element 10 to be saved through the reversing valve assembly, and the outlet of the accumulator assembly is used for communicating the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated. The hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saved may be a hydraulic actuator for driving a first device of the construction machine to move, usually, mechanical energy generated by the first device in a certain movement process may be converted into hydraulic energy in the hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saved, a key component energy accumulator assembly in the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 may store the hydraulic energy and deliver the stored hydraulic energy to the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated, and the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated may perform a useful function to the outside by using a second device driven by the hydraulic energy, so as to effectively reduce a waste phenomenon of the hydraulic energy, and achieve an energy-saving effect.
Alternatively, the mechanical energy recovered by the hydraulic actuator 10 to be saved may be braking energy of a vehicle, gravitational potential energy of a boom, braking energy of a turntable, and the like.
Alternatively, the hydraulic actuator 10 to be saved may be a hydraulic cylinder or a motor, etc.
The working principle of the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 is as follows:
the pressure sensor assembly is disposed on the accumulator assembly and measures a real-time pressure of the accumulator assembly. The pressure sensor assembly is electrically connected to the controller 17 and is capable of communicating with each other, the pressure sensor assembly transmitting the measured real-time pressure of the accumulator assembly to the controller 17. The controller 17 can control the motion of the reversing valve assembly according to the real-time pressure, and specifically, after the controller 17 compares and analyzes the real-time pressure, whether the reversing valve assembly needs to be transposed or not and how to transpose the reversing valve assembly are judged. Firstly, under the condition that the reversing valve assembly is controlled to enable the energy accumulator assembly to be communicated with the hydraulic actuating element 10 to be energy-saving, the energy accumulator assembly starts to accumulate hydraulic energy recovered by the hydraulic actuating element 10 to be energy-saving so as to ensure that the energy accumulator assembly has enough hydraulic medium to be supplemented to a hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated and ensure that a transmission path for reusing the recovered hydraulic energy is smooth; secondly, in the case of controlling the reversing valve assembly to disconnect the accumulator assembly from the hydraulic actuator 10 to be economized, the accumulator assembly suspends accumulation of the hydraulic energy recovered by the hydraulic actuator 10 to be economized, so as to avoid accumulation of an excessive amount of hydraulic medium, thereby ensuring safe use of the accumulator assembly and the downstream hydraulic line 20 to be actuated.
Optionally, the pressure sensor assembly transmits real-time pressure to the controller 17 in real-time or timed.
The hydraulic accumulator circuit 1 in this embodiment includes an accumulator assembly, a reversing valve assembly, a pressure sensor assembly and a controller 17. The controller 17 controls the accumulator assembly to be communicated with or disconnected from the hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saved according to the real-time pressure of the accumulator assembly detected by the pressure sensor assembly, and the accumulator assembly accumulates the hydraulic energy recovered by the hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saved in a communicated state or suspends the accumulation of the hydraulic energy in a disconnected state so as to avoid overhigh working pressure of the accumulator assembly and the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated. Therefore, the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 not only can continuously supplement hydraulic energy to the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated, reduce the oil consumption of the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated and improve the working efficiency of a second device driven by the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated, but also can automatically maintain the real-time pressure of an energy accumulator assembly in a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the safety of the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 and a downstream oil circuit.
In an alternative of the present embodiment, the accumulator assembly comprises a primary accumulator 11 and a secondary accumulator 12 which are in series communication between the hydraulic actuator 10 to be economized and the hydraulic line 20 to be actuated.
The reversing valve component comprises a first reversing valve 13 arranged between the hydraulic actuating element 10 to be energy-saving and the primary energy accumulator 11 and a second reversing valve 14 arranged between the primary energy accumulator 11 and the secondary energy accumulator 12; the pressure sensor assembly includes first and second pressure sensors 15 and 16, respectively, electrically connected to a controller 17, the first and second pressure sensors 15 and 16 being capable of communicating with the controller 17.
The first pressure sensor 15 is disposed on the primary accumulator 11 and is capable of measuring a first real-time pressure of the primary accumulator 11, and sending the first real-time pressure to the controller 17, and the controller 17 compares the first real-time pressure with a first predetermined pressure, where the first predetermined pressure is a highest working pressure of the primary accumulator 11.
Referring to fig. 1, when the first real-time pressure is smaller than the first predetermined pressure, it indicates that the working pressure in the primary accumulator 11 has not yet reached the maximum working pressure, and therefore the controller 17 controls the first directional valve 13 to communicate the hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saved with the primary accumulator 11, so as to ensure that the recovered hydraulic energy is timely supplemented and accumulated in the primary accumulator 11, thereby improving the energy storage and supply efficiency of the primary accumulator 11. Referring to fig. 3, when the first real-time pressure reaches the first predetermined pressure, which indicates that the working pressure in the primary accumulator 11 has reached the maximum working pressure, the controller 17 controls the first direction valve 13 to disconnect the energy-saving hydraulic actuator 10 from the primary accumulator 11, so as to cut off the transmission path of the recovered hydraulic energy to the primary accumulator 11, and avoid the working pressure of the primary accumulator 11 from being too high.
The second pressure sensor 16 is disposed on the secondary accumulator 12 and is capable of measuring a second real-time pressure of the secondary accumulator 12 and sending the second real-time pressure to the controller 17, and the controller 17 is further configured to compare the second real-time pressure with a second predetermined pressure, where the second predetermined pressure is a maximum working pressure of the secondary accumulator 12.
When the second real-time pressure is lower than the second predetermined pressure, which indicates that the working pressure of the secondary energy accumulator 12 has not yet reached the maximum working pressure, the controller 17 controls the second directional valve 14 to communicate the primary energy accumulator 11 and the secondary energy accumulator 12, so as to ensure that the hydraulic energy accumulated in the primary energy accumulator 11 can be timely supplemented into the secondary energy accumulator 12, and improve the energy storage and supply efficiency of the secondary energy accumulator 12. When the second real-time pressure reaches the second predetermined pressure, which indicates that the working pressure of the secondary accumulator 12 has reached the maximum working pressure, the controller 17 controls the second directional valve 14 to disconnect the primary accumulator 11 from the secondary accumulator 12, thereby cutting off the path for transmitting the hydraulic energy accumulated in the primary accumulator 11 to the secondary accumulator 12 and preventing the working pressure of the secondary accumulator 12 from being too high.
Optionally, the first direction valve 13 and the second direction valve 14 are both electromagnetic direction valves, so as to be connected with the controller 17 in a communication manner, and the controller 17 controls the position change thereof.
The primary energy accumulator 11 and the secondary energy accumulator 12 are used in cooperation, wherein the primary energy accumulator 11 is used as a transfer energy storage component of the whole hydraulic energy storage circuit 1, so that the energy storage limit of the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 is improved, a stable hydraulic energy supply source is provided for the secondary energy accumulator 12, the secondary energy accumulator 12 is used as a direct energy storage component for supplying hydraulic energy to the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated, and a stable hydraulic energy supply source can be provided for the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated, so that the working pressure of the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated can be stably and continuously improved, and the oil consumption of the hydraulic pipeline 20 to be actuated can be reduced. Further, the first pressure sensor 15, the first direction valve 13, the second pressure sensor 16 and the second direction valve 14 are used in cooperation, so that the use safety of the primary accumulator 11 and the secondary accumulator 12 can be ensured respectively.
In an alternative of this embodiment, the hydraulic accumulator circuit 1 further includes a first relief valve 18, the first relief valve 18 is communicated with the primary accumulator 11, and the set pressure of the first relief valve 18 is greater than the first predetermined pressure. When the working pressure in the primary accumulator 11 is greater than the first predetermined pressure, that is, the maximum working pressure, the first relief valve 18 is opened to allow part of the medium in the primary accumulator 11 to be relieved to the tank through the first relief valve 18, until the pressure in the primary accumulator 11 is not greater than the first predetermined pressure, the first relief valve 18 is closed, and thus the first relief valve 18 plays a role in protecting the primary accumulator 11.
In an alternative of this embodiment, the hydraulic accumulator circuit 1 further comprises a second relief valve 19, the second relief valve 19 being capable of communicating with the secondary accumulator 12, the set pressure of the second relief valve 19 being greater than the second predetermined pressure. When the second relief valve 19 is communicated with the secondary accumulator 12 and the working pressure in the secondary accumulator 12 is greater than the second predetermined pressure, that is, the maximum working pressure, the second relief valve 19 is opened to allow part of the medium in the secondary accumulator 12 to be relieved through the second relief valve 19 until the pressure in the secondary accumulator 12 is not greater than the second predetermined pressure, so that the second relief valve 19 plays a role in protecting the secondary accumulator 12.
In an alternative version of this embodiment, the second reversing valve 14 is a two-position, four-way reversing valve.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, when the second directional control valve 14 is in the first position, the second directional control valve 14 communicates the primary accumulator 11 with the secondary accumulator 12, and when the working pressure of the secondary accumulator 12 is lower than a second predetermined pressure, the primary accumulator 11 is able to charge the secondary accumulator 12 with hydraulic medium. Meanwhile, the second reversing valve 14 disconnects the second overflow valve 19 and the secondary accumulator 12, if the pressure in the secondary accumulator 12 is too high, on one hand, the primary accumulator 11 can reversely absorb the hydraulic impact in the secondary accumulator 12 to form primary protection for the secondary accumulator 12, and on the other hand, the primary accumulator 11 and the secondary accumulator 12 can share the first overflow valve 18 as a safety valve to form secondary protection for the secondary accumulator 12.
As shown in fig. 2 and 4, when the second direction changing valve 14 is in the second position, the second direction changing valve 14 disconnects the primary accumulator 11 from the secondary accumulator 12, and at this time, the working pressure of the secondary accumulator 12 reaches the second predetermined pressure, and since neither the primary accumulator 11 nor the first relief valve 18 is connected to the secondary accumulator 12, the secondary accumulator 12 cannot be protected. Meanwhile, the second overflow valve 19 is communicated with the secondary accumulator 12, and if the pressure in the secondary accumulator 12 is too high, the secondary accumulator 12 can be protected by the second overflow valve 19.
Through setting up this second switching-over valve 14, can avoid first overflow valve 18 and second overflow valve 19 to communicate the condition emergence of secondary accumulator 12 simultaneously to avoid opening first overflow valve 18 and second overflow valve 19 simultaneously and cause the instantaneous a large amount of losses of hydraulic energy in hydraulic energy storage return circuit 1, and then under the prerequisite that provides the protection for secondary accumulator 12 all the time, still improve the effective utilization ratio of the hydraulic energy that hydraulic energy storage return circuit 1 impounds.
In an alternative of this embodiment, a non-return valve is provided between the primary accumulator 11 and the hydraulic actuator 10 to be economized, which non-return valve only allows a one-way passage of medium from the hydraulic actuator 10 to be economized to the primary accumulator 11. The hydraulic actuator 10 to be energy-saving can be effectively prevented from being impacted by the continuous hydraulic energy in the hydraulic energy storage circuit 1 in the reverse direction by arranging the one-way valve.
