The present disclosure relates to a technical field of machinery manufacturing, and more particularly to a hydraulic plunger pump variable control structure and a control method for the same.
A hydraulic plunger pump is commonly used in engineering machinery, and power control is a common control mode. Several kinds of power-control pumps currently common on the market have their own characteristics in terms of structure principle and design, but they have respective constraints presented as follows.
For a pump structure with the use of change in differential pressure to carry out the power control, there will be mutual interference between differential pressure control and power control, affecting the control accuracy and responsiveness.
For a pump structure in a power control mode by means of L-shaped lever structure feedback, the control accuracy is high, but the parts are numerous and complex, and the cost is high.
A pump structure in a control mode with the use of a lever to drive feedback of a valve sleeve (body) has relatively few parts and a simple structure, but pressure oil participating in the control not only serves as a pilot oil source to promote opening of a control valve, but also flows through a valve opening to push a variable piston, in which an instantaneous pressure drop of the pilot oil source may affect a force exerted on the valve, and ultimately affect the responsiveness and control accuracy of the pump.
A control structure for a power control device of a plunger pump in the market is that a pilot control device and a variable control device are integrated to a power valve core, and a valve sleeve and valve core having a three-position two-way valve structural function are provided. The valve core is configured to have a step structure and form an area difference; the valve sleeve is fitted with the valve core to define a throttling port. The power control device controls communication between an inlet P and an outlet Pp or an oil drainage port T through movements of the valve core and the valve sleeve. Pressure at a pump outlet is introduced into a pressure chamber P, and the valve core is pushed to move due to an area difference between the two diameters, such that the throttling port is opened and the oil fluid enters the Pp chamber from the P chamber, thereby pushing the variable piston to move. A spring loaded mechanism is provided at another end of the valve core to pre-load a force reversely; a feedback rod is fixed and hinged to a valve body for rotation, and has a first end linked with the valve sleeve and a second end provide with an opening capable of being connected with the variable piston. The function is based on a lever principle, such that the movement direction of the variable piston is opposite to the movement direction of the valve sleeve, so as to realize a process of mechanical feedback.
The above structure has few parts and a simple structure, but pressure oil participating in the control not only serves as a pilot oil source to promote opening of a control valve, but also flows through a valve opening to push the variable piston, in which an instantaneous pressure drop of the pilot oil source may affect a force exerted on the valve, and ultimately affect the pump responsiveness and control accuracy.
Embodiments of the present disclosure seek to solve at least one of the problems existing in the related art to at least some extent. For that reason, the present disclosure provides a hydraulic plunger pump variable control structure that can reduce an effect of an instantaneous pressure drop of chamber pressure on a thrust of a valve core when a valve port is opened, enhance stability of a valve, and improve accuracy.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the valve sleeve is fitted with the main valve core to define a valve throttling port, and opening or closure of the valve throttling port is implemented by controlling relative displacement between the main valve core and the valve sleeve; when the valve throttling port is opened, the second oil chamber is in communication with the third oil chamber, and when the valve throttling port is closed, the second oil chamber is obstructed from the third oil chamber.
