Description

technical field [0001] The invention is suitable for engineering machinery with a hydraulic slewing system, especially for hydraulic excavators with a hydraulic slewing system. Background technique [0002] Hydraulic excavators are used in a wide range of applications and have a lot of energy loss. It is of great economic value to study the energy saving of hydraulic excavators. The traditional hydraulic excavator slewing system often achieves the braking effect through reverse back pressure when decelerating and braking. The kinetic energy of the slewing body is converted into the heat energy of the pressed oil, which is lost in vain, causing the hydraulic system to heat up, and various hydraulic systems such as cavitation Defects reduce the life of the hydraulic system. Since the slewing action is a very frequent action in the hydraulic excavator, the energy loss caused by it is very serious, and the recovery and reuse of the lost energy has very considerable economic ben...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The previous energy recovery system is generally applicable to the standard cycle, through the two actions of accumulator filling and discharging, to achieve the function of absorbing deceleration braking energy and releasing it. The kinetic energy matches, so the effect is better under the set cycle standard, but when there is a slewing stroke that does not match the set standard, the accumulator may produce insufficient energy discharge or full energy absorption, resulting in redundant deceleration Situations where braking energy cannot be absorbed

Under this kind of energy recovery system, the accumulator works according to the action instructions of the operator, but because the system cannot judge the current motion state of the slewing system, the accumulator cannot work simultaneously with the original hydraulic pump of the system, and can only work before the hydraulic pump. When the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic excavator is working, when the slewing system decelerates and brakes, first judge whether the accumulator has space to store more high-pressure oil that absorbs braking energy; when the slewing system starts, first judge whether the accumulator has high pressure The oil is used to release and help the slewing device to start. Executing the above two actions will cause the hydraulic pump of the hydraulic excavator to have an additional no-load state, and the output of the engine will decrease sharply, resulting in an increase in the engine load of the excavator. It is conducive to the stable operation of the engine in the high-efficiency working range, but it violates the original intention of energy recovery for energy saving

At the same time, the operation of the accumulator depends on the difference between the pressure of the accumulator and the oil pressure provided by the system. Since the pressure change of the accumulator's own oil is non-linear, it will cause The cycle is unstable, affecting the operator's operating habits and work efficiency
