Drive system with both fixed-displacement hydraulic motors and variable-displacement hydraulic motors for cutter head of boring machine and control method thereof

Abstract

A drive system with both fixed-displacement hydraulic motors and variable-displacement hydraulic motors for a cutter head of a boring machine and a control method thereof are provided. The drive system includes a variable-displacement hydraulic motor group, a fixed-displacement hydraulic motor group and a variable-displacement hydraulic pump group. The variable-displacement hydraulic motor group, the fixed-displacement hydraulic motor group, and the variable-displacement hydraulic pump group are all connected to a main oil circuit of a cutter head system of the boring machine. The variable-displacement hydraulic pump group inputs flow to the main oil circuit; and, the variable-displacement hydraulic motor group and the fixed-displacement hydraulic motor group acquire flow from the main oil circuit. Displacements of the fixed-displacement hydraulic motor group and the variable-displacement hydraulic motor group are set in a way of specific displacement combination. The present invention decreases an engineering cost, and improves system reliability and efficiency.
