In high-altitude operation equipment, the hydraulic system of the vertical lifting platform is its core component, which directly affects the lifting efficiency and safety of the equipment. Failure of the hydraulic system will not only lead to a decrease in the working efficiency of the equipment, but may also cause serious safety hazards and economic losses. There are many forms of failure, including slow lifting and lowering speed, inability to reach a predetermined height, and even unexpected falls during the lifting and lowering process. These problems usually result from hydraulic oil leakage, hydraulic pump failure, pipeline blockage and seal failure, resulting in insufficient or unstable system pressure.
Leakage of hydraulic oil is one of the most common problems. Insufficient oil volume directly affects the pressure of the system, reduces the lifting speed, and may even cause the equipment to fail to rise. In addition, hydraulic oil leakage will also cause pollution to the environment and increase maintenance costs. A hydraulic pump failure may cause the hydraulic oil pressure to drop or be unstable, affecting the stability of the lifting and lowering operation, and in severe cases, it may cause the hydraulic system to lose control. A blockage of the pipeline will hinder the normal flow of hydraulic oil, slow down the lifting and lowering speed, and even cause stagnation, which will significantly affect the operating efficiency. Failure of the seal will cause hydraulic oil to leak or air to enter the system, causing pressure fluctuations, which will affect the stability and reliability of lifting.
The negative impact of hydraulic system failure is multifaceted. The degradation of the lifting performance of the equipment directly leads to a decrease in working efficiency. Slow or unstable lifting will extend the working time and thus affect production efficiency. In high-altitude working environments, time delays may lead to lag in project progress and cause economic losses. In addition, failure of the hydraulic system may cause safety accidents, and sudden out-of-control pressure may cause the platform to fall or tilt unexpectedly, seriously endangering the life safety of the operator. Failure of hydraulic systems may also lead to mechanical damage to the equipment, or even overall damage, causing huge repair and replacement costs to the company.
Environmental pollution is also an important consequence of hydraulic system failure. The leakage of hydraulic oil not only violates environmental protection regulations, but also affects the company's social responsibility image. Frequent failures will also increase the difficulty and cost of maintenance, and maintenance personnel will spend a lot of time troubleshooting, disassembling and replacing damaged parts. If it is not handled in time, it may cause a chain reaction, resulting in damage to other system components, further aggravating the complexity and cost of maintenance.
Hydraulic system failures will also significantly affect the reliability and service life of the equipment. Frequent failures can aggravate the wear and fatigue of parts and shorten the overall service life of the equipment. Contamination of hydraulic oil and aging of seals can lead to frequent system failures, increasing maintenance frequency and reducing equipment availability. The stability of the equipment is affected and may fail at critical moments, resulting in interruption of high-altitude operations or accidents. As the "power heart" of high-altitude operation equipment, failures of the hydraulic system will have a chain reaction on the entire operation process, affecting the continuity and safety of construction. Equipment failures can also cause secondary accidents, such as fires or explosions caused by hydraulic oil leakage, especially in high temperature or flammable environments, which are even more significant.
