Excavator Hydraulic Pump Failure

When diagnosing hydraulic system faults, you must follow the diagnostic principles to check whether there are problems from the outside to the inside, from simple to complex. The standard order of excavator hydraulic pump failure diagnosis is to find and analyze the relevant data, understand the problem, check the external structure, observation and analysis of test execution, check the system internal structure, analysis of system parameters, analysis of wrong logic, adjust the maintenance, the maintenance process, test execution and system error problem.The following are the common faults and troubleshooting methods of hydraulic excavator hydraulic pump:


  1. Two main oil pipes of the traveling motor burst.

    The main reason why the two main oil pipes (A and B) of the hydraulic excavator's traveling motor often burst is that the spool of the two-speed valve fails to return in time after the change of speed, which leads to the failure of the oil inlet and the oil inlet to combine, resulting in the instantaneous high oil pressure. At this time, the elastic force of the two-speed valve spring should be appropriately increased. After the control pressure is relieved, the spool can be reset smoothly under the action of spring elastic force.However, it should be noted that the increase of spring elasticity can not simply use the growth rate and gasket method, must be measured by the spring elasticity; Grind the two-speed valve to remove burr, so that the spool can move freely in the valve body, no stuck phenomenon; The operation should be standardized.For example, the correct operation of shifting gear during the excavator walking is: no matter changing any speed, the excavator must stop first, and then shift gear before walking.

  2. Hydraulic oil leakage

    If the hydraulic control system is leaking, it is difficult to provide the necessary system pressure. Leakage of hydraulic oil will pollute the environment and affect normal construction. For hydraulic fluids, the type, viscosity and pressure of the oil must be checked. For the cylinder, the main inspection should be crack, surface roughness and welding condition.

  3. The hydraulic system design is not standard,resulting in hydraulic oil leakage.The hydraulic system seal structure design is unreasonable,and the selected system seal components do not meet the quality standards.Impurity particles mixed into hydraulic fluid can damage and damage seals,leading to leaks.Pay attention to strict and reasonable structural design. Excavator is a kind of widely used construction machinery equipment. Hydraulic control technology is the important technical base of excavator scientific design. The scientific characteristics of hydraulic control technology seriously affect the whole working performance of excavator equipment. The scientific application of hydraulic control technology greatly improves the performance of excavator, reduces energy consumption and improves the control performance of equipment.
