Embodiment 1
(14) Referring to
(15) Oil outlets of the first hydraulic actuator 4-1 and the second hydraulic actuator 4-2 are correspondingly connected to oil inlets of the first throttle valve 5-1 and the second throttle valve 5-2. Oil outlets of the first throttle valve 5-1 and the second throttle valve 5-2 are both connected to the oil tank 14. Left and right ends of the shuttle valve 6 are correspondingly connected to oil inlets of the first hydraulic actuator 4-1 and the second hydraulic actuator 4-2. The shuttle valve 6 is configured to screen out a maximum load pressure in those of the first hydraulic actuator 4-1 and the second hydraulic actuator 4-2, and feedback the maximum load pressure to the right spring chamber of the bypass control valve 9 by using the first damping valve 8-1. The left chamber of the bypass control valve 9 is connected to the oil outlet of the electronically controlled variable pump 2 by using the second damping valve 8-2.
(16) An oil outlet of the bypass control valve 9 is connected to an oil inlet of the bypass throttle valve 12. An oil outlet of the bypass throttle valve 12 is connected to the oil tank 14. The oil inlet and the oil outlet of the bypass throttle valve 9 are correspondingly provided with the first pressure sensor 10 and the second pressure sensor 11. One of the two electronic control joysticks 7 is connected to the first flow control valve 3-1, a control end of the first throttle valve 5-1, and the control system 13. The other of the two electronic control joysticks 7 is connected to the second flow control valve 3-2, a control end of the second throttle valve 5-2, and the control system 13. The control system 13 generates a control signal of the electronically controlled variable pump by receiving control signals of the two electronic control joysticks 7 and pressure signals of the first pressure sensor 10 and the second pressure sensor 11. The control signal of the electronically controlled variable pump is transmitted to the electronically controlled variable pump 2 for further adjusting the swing angle of the swash plate, so as to precisely control the displacement of the electronically controlled variable pump 2.
(17) In this embodiment, the prime mover 1 may be one of an electric motor or an engine. The first flow control valve 3-1 and the second flow control valve 3-2 each may be either a hydro-mechanical flow control valve including a pressure compensator valve and a proportional directional valve, or a flow control valve controlled by using an electronic algorithm. The first hydraulic actuator 4-1 and the second hydraulic actuator 4-2 each may be a hydraulic linear cylinder or a hydraulic rotary motor. The control system 13 is an industrial computer or a single-chip microcomputer.

(22) To obtain expected speeds of the first hydraulic actuator 4-1 and the second hydraulic actuator 4-2 by controlling the displacement of the electronically controlled variable pump 2, the electronically controlled variable pump 2 needs to provide the determined hydraulic oil flow. However, there are uncertain factors in the hydraulic system such as rotation speed, temperature, leakage and other parameters. This makes it is difficult to precisely dynamically match the flow of the pump and valves. In this case, the flow matching problem cannot be well resolved only by using the desired signals adjusted by the electronic control joystick 7. In this embodiment, there is a difference between a feedforward flow expected signal generated by the electronic control joystick 7 and a flow feedback compensation signal of the flow effused by using the bypass control valve 9. The control system 13 uses the difference as the control signal of the electronically controlled variable pump 2 after the difference is converted by using a flow mapping module of the electronically controlled variable pump. This better resolves the problem of precise matching between supply and demand flows of a single pump with multiple actuators, reduces the pressure surge and energy losses of the entire system, reduces the pressure margin and response time of the system, improves pressure controllability and damping performance, further reduces the load oscillation speed of the system, and improves system energy efficiency and control performance.

(31) It can be learned from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3 that in the present disclosure, if it is assumed that there are N flow control valves, the quantity of hydraulic actuators corresponds to N, the quantity of throttle valves corresponds to N, the quantity of shuttle valves corresponds to (N?1), and the quantity of electronic control joysticks corresponds to N. The outlet of the electronically controlled variable pump is connected to the oil inlet of each of the N flow control valves. The oil outlet of each flow control valve is connected to an oil inlet of one hydraulic actuator. The oil outlet of each of the N hydraulic actuators is connected to the oil tank. The first shuttle valve is connected to both the neighboring first hydraulic actuator and second hydraulic actuator, to screen out the maximum load pressure in those of the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator. The first shuttle valve outputs, by using the oil outlet, the maximum load pressure in those of the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator to one end of the oil inlet of a second shuttle valve. The other end of the oil inlet of the second shuttle valve is connected to an oil inlet of a third hydraulic actuator, to screen out the maximum load pressure in those of the three hydraulic actuators. By analogy, the shuttle valve group screens out a maximum load pressure in those of the N hydraulic actuators. The oil outlet of each of the (N?1) shuttle valves is connected to the right spring chamber of the bypass control valve. The left chamber and an oil inlet of the bypass control valve are both connected to the oil outlet of the electronically controlled variable pump. The oil outlet of the bypass control valve is connected to the oil inlet of the bypass throttle valve. The oil outlet of the bypass throttle valve is connected to the oil tank. The oil inlet and the oil outlet of the bypass throttle valve are correspondingly provided with the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor. Each electronic control joystick is correspondingly connected to the control end of one flow control valve. The N electronic control joysticks are further connected to the control system. The control system generates the control signal of the electronically controlled variable pump by receiving control signals of the N electronic control joysticks and pressure signals of the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor. The control signal of the electronically controlled variable pump is transmitted to the electronically controlled variable pump.
