Potential energy recovery system of aerial work platform
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of aerial work platforms, and particularly relates to a potential energy recovery system of an aerial work platform.
Background
The continuous working time is an important index for measuring the aerial work platform. However, due to the limitation of the battery capacity, the endurance of the aerial work platform is difficult to improve. Conventional energy recovery systems typically employ accumulators to recover hydraulic energy. However, this energy recovery method is not efficient due to the characteristics of the accumulator; and the energy accumulator itself has a certain risk of malfunction due to the storage of high pressure liquid.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solutions of the present invention better understood, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The embodiment of the invention provides a potential energy recovery system for an aerial work platform, which comprises a hydraulic oil tank 9, a lifting oil cylinder 1, a control valve 2, an emergency descending valve 3, an alternating current motor 4, a controller 5, a storage battery 6 and an energy recovery motor pump 7, wherein the hydraulic oil tank 9 is respectively communicated with the lifting oil cylinder 1 through a first oil path and a second oil path, the emergency descending valve 3 is arranged on the second oil path, the energy recovery motor pump 7 and the control valve 2 are arranged on the first oil path, and the control valve 2 is close to the lifting oil cylinder 1, as shown in fig. 1. The control valve 2 adopts a proportional drop valve. The energy recovery motor pump 7 is connected with the alternating current motor 4, and the alternating current motor 4 is connected with the storage battery 6 through the controller 5. The control valve 2 is connected with the second oil path through an overflow valve 8.
The working principle is as follows:
when the aerial work platform is lifted, the storage battery 6 supplies power, the alternating current motor 4 drives the energy recovery motor pump 7 (positive working, the working principle is pump at the moment), and the lifting oil cylinder 1 is driven to work normally. When the aerial work platform descends, the proportional control valve 2 is electrified, high-pressure oil in a rodless cavity of the lifting oil cylinder 1 flows through the control valve 2 to drive the energy recovery motor pump 7 (the working principle is motor at the moment), the energy recovery motor pump 7 drives the alternating current motor 4 to generate electricity, and the electricity is reversely charged into the storage battery 6 through the controller 5 to complete energy recovery.
When the aerial work platform descends, if the energy recovery motor pump 7 cannot work normally, hydraulic oil flows back to the hydraulic oil tank 9 through the overflow valve 8 and part of the second oil way; if the control valve 2 can not work normally, the emergency descending valve 3 is controlled to work, and the hydraulic oil flows back to the hydraulic oil tank 9 through the second oil path. The aerial work platform can normally descend, and the safety of workers on the aerial work platform is guaranteed.
