Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic system, method, and integrated valve block for a slewing mechanism, comprising a first and second cylinder. The rod cavity of the first cylinder connects to the rodless cavity of the second cylinder through the first oil circuit, first hydraulic control check valve, and fourth oil circuit. The rodless cavity of the first cylinder connects to the rod cavity of the second cylinder through the second oil circuit, second hydraulic control check valve, and third oil circuit. The first oil circuit is connected to the directional valve through the sixth oil circuit, and the second oil circuit is connected to the directional valve through the fifth oil circuit. The directional valve is connected to the hydraulic pump and oil tank. The first hydraulic control check valve is installed between the first and fourth oil circuits, and the second hydraulic control check valve is between the second and third oil circuits. The check valves' control circuits connect to the sixth oil circuit, ensuring braking stability of the slewing mechanism.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A hydraulic system of a slewing mechanism, comprising a first cylinder and a second cylinder, a rod cavity of the first cylinder is connected to a rodless cavity of the second cylinder through a first oil circuit, a first hydraulic control check valve, and a fourth oil circuit set in turn, a rod cavity of the second cylinder is connected to a rodless cavity of the first cylinder through a second oil circuit, a second hydraulic control check valve and a third oil circuit set in turn, the first oil circuit is connected to a directional valve through a sixth oil circuit, the second oil circuit is connected to the directional valve through a fifth oil circuit, the directional valve is connected to a hydraulic pump and an oil tank, a control circuit of the first hydraulic control check valve and the second hydraulic control check valve is connected to the sixth oil circuit; the first hydraulic control check valve is unidirectionally conducted in a direction away from the rodless cavity of the second cylinder, and the second hydraulic control check valve is unidirectionally conducted in a direction toward the rodless cavity of the first cylinder.

2 . The hydraulic system of the slewing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the directional valve adopts a three-position four-way directional valve.

3 . The hydraulic system of the slewing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the oil circuit between the hydraulic pump and the directional valve is equipped with an overflow valve, the overflow valve is connected to the oil tank.

4 . A method for the hydraulic system of the slewing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein
supplying oil to the rod cavity of the first cylinder through the sixth oil circuit and the first oil circuit by the directional valve, and contracting a piston rod of the first cylinder, at the same time, control circuit supplying oil to open a valve core of the first hydraulic control check valve, feeding oil into the rodless cavity of the second cylinder via the fourth oil circuit, extending the piston rod of the second cylinder to realize a rotation of the slewing mechanism in a first direction; when the slewing mechanism is braked in a rotating state toward the first direction, the directional valve works, and stops supplying oil to the sixth oil circuit and the control circuit, the oil in the rodless cavity of the first cylinder cannot flow under an action of the second hydraulic control check valve, thus cutting off an oil channeling between the first cylinder and the second cylinder; supplying oil to the rodless cavity of the first cylinder through the fifth oil circuit, the second hydraulic control check valve, and the third oil circuit by the directional valve, and supplying oil to the rod cavity of the second cylinder through the second oil circuit by the directional valve, extending the piston rod of the first cylinder and retracting the piston rod of the second cylinder to realize a rotation of the slewing mechanism in the second direction opposite to the first direction; when the slewing mechanism is braked in a rotating state toward the second direction, the directional valve works, and stops supplying oil to the fifth oil circuit, the oil in the rod cavity of the first cylinder cannot flow under an action of the first hydraulic control check valve, thus cutting off the oil channeling between the first cylinder and the second cylinder.
