DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
(6) The principle and structure of the present invention will be further explained in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments, so that those of ordinary skills in the art can understand and implement the present invention after reading the specific embodiments. The embodiments are detailed description of the present invention, and do not impose any restrictions on the present invention.
First Embodiment
(7) As shown in
(8) A main valve oil inlet A is in communication with a feedback groove M through an internal flow channel of the main valve core 1, the feedback groove M is in communication with the main valve control cavity V.sub.C through a throttling edge on a valve sleeve, the main valve control cavity V.sub.C is in communication with a flow sensor oil inlet B, a flow sensor oil outlet C is in communication with a pilot valve oil inlet H, and a pilot valve oil outlet F is in communication with a main valve oil outlet D.
(9) The feedback groove M in the main valve core 1 and an internal flow channel of the valve core are in communication with the main valve control cavity V.sub.C and the main valve oil inlet A, which is the basis for realizing a flow-displacement feedback function. When the proportional pilot valve 12 is closed, a fluid flows into the main valve control cavity V.sub.C through the feedback groove M due to a pre-opening amount of the feedback groove M. In this case, an inlet pressure and a control cavity pressure are almost completely equal, and the main valve core remains closed under the effect of an area difference. When the proportional pilot valve 12 is opened, the feedback groove M in the main valve core and a pilot valve opening form an A-type hydraulic half-bridge, and a fluid at the main valve oil inlet flows out through the feedback groove M and the proportional pilot valve, so that the pressure in the control cavity is less than the inlet pressure of the main valve. When the pressure in the control cavity is less than a certain value, the main valve core will be opened, and a flow area of the feedback groove M will also be increased after the main valve core 1 is opened, until pressures at upper and lower ends of the valve core are equal and the valve core is balanced.
(10) The flow sensor 4 is of a plug-in type and comprises: a flow sensor valve core 5, a flow sensor spring 6, a hydraulic resistor 7, an electro-mechanical converter 8 and a second displacement sensor 9. The flow sensor oil inlet B is in communication with the flow sensor oil inlet cavity V.sub.Z, the flow sensor valve core 5, the flow sensor spring 6, the electro-mechanical convert 8 and the second displacement sensor 9 are coaxially connected, an output force of the electro-mechanical converter 8 acts on an end surface of the flow sensor valve core, and the flow sensor oil outlet C is in communication with the pilot valve oil inlet H. An input end of the electro-mechanical converter 8 is connected with a control module. The control module 26 calculates the flow sensor compensation signal u.sub.z and inputs the signal to the second electro-mechanical converter 8.
(11) The flow sensor 4 is installed between the main valve control cavity V.sub.C and the proportional pilot valve oil inlet H, and the flow sensor oil outlet C is in communication with the flow sensor spring cavity V.sub.Y through the hydraulic resistor 7. The pressure of the flow sensor oil inlet B acts on a valve core left end surface N of the flow sensor valve core 5, and the flow through the flow sensor is proportional to a valve opening pressure difference, so that the flow sensor valve core is opened by the hydraulic pressure, and a hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic force and a spring force on the flow sensor valve core are balanced. Because the flow sensor signal q.sub.b has a linear relationship with displacement of the flow sensor valve core 5, the displacement of the flow sensor valve core 5 is measured by the second displacement sensor 9, so that the flow sensor signal q can be obtained.
(12) The accuracy of the flow sensor may be affected by oil temperature change and hydrodynamic force. A temperature of the oil in the flow valve is measured by the temperature sensor 20, and the control module 26 feeds back the compensation signal u.sub.z to the electro-mechanical converter 8 to compensate the nonlinear relationship between the flow rate and the displacement z of the flow sensor valve core 5, thus reducing the influence of the temperature and the hydrodynamic force on the flow measured.
(13) The control cavity pressure sensor 17 is in communication with the main valve control cavity V.sub.C to output a control cavity pressure signal P.sub.C; the oil inlet pressure sensor 18 is in communication with the main valve oil inlet A to output an oil inlet pressure signal p.sub.A; the oil outlet pressure sensor 19 is in communication with the main valve oil outlet D to output an oil outlet pressure signal p.sub.B; and the temperature sensor 20 is in communication with the main valve oil outlet D to output a temperature sensor signal T.
(14) An output end of the proportional amplifier 14 is connected to the pilot valve electromagnet 13, the flow controller 15 receives a flow setting signal q.sub.s and a flow feedback signal q.sub.f, and an output end of the flow controller 15 is connected to an input end of the proportional amplifier 14. The pilot valve electromagnet 13 receives a signal from the proportional amplifier 14, and an output force thereof and a spring force of a pilot valve spring 10 jointly control displacement of a pilot valve core 11. The displacement sensor 16 detects displacement of the pilot valve core 11, and outputs a pilot valve core displacement signal y to a feedback end of the proportional amplifier 14.
(15) The multifunctional valve controller 21 comprises a signal processing module 22, a calculation module 23, an integration module 24, a data storage module 25, a control module 26, a display module 27, a fault prediction module 28, and a communication interaction module 29.

After the signal processing module filters and normalizes the above signals, the signals are input to the calculation module 23 and an input end of the data storage module 25 through an output end of the signal processing module.
(18) The control module 26 calculates the flow setting signal q.sub.s, and the flow setting signal q.sub.s is connected to an input end of the flow controller 15.

According to the changes of load pressure and oil temperature, a multi-control mode switching strategy based on working condition identification may be designed to realize displacement closed-loop control and flow closed-loop control mode to adapt to the changes of external environment. In addition, PID control, fuzzy control, neural network, deep learning and other algorithms are used to realize functions of parallel regulation, state monitoring, self-learning and self-adaptation of electro-hydraulic proportional flow direction continuous control valve.
