Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electric tractors, and in particular to a double-row planetary gear electric tractor coupling device and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, most tractors on the market still use diesel engines as their power source. This traditional diesel tractor is not only noisy, inefficient, but also seriously pollutes the environment. Electric tractors use electricity to drive vehicles. Compared with traditional diesel tractors, electric tractors have the advantages of low emissions, clean and pollution-free, low noise, and high energy utilization. In addition, the motor has the advantage of flexible control, which further simplifies the transmission structure of the tractor. Therefore, electric tractors have become a new trend in the development of tractors.

[0003] In the research of electric tractors, single motor drive is mostly used, which is difficult to meet the complex working conditions of tractors. In hybrid tractors, the electric motor is used as auxiliary power, and the diesel engine is mainly used as the main power. This method does not give full play to the characteristics of high energy utilization and flexible control of the electric motor. Although tractors driven by dual motors have been disclosed in the prior art, there are generally problems such as the large size of the dual motor power coupling mechanism, the single operation mode, insufficient power, and low energy utilization. Summary of the invention

[0006] The double-row planetary gear coupling transmission comprises a first planetary gear coupling mechanism and a second planetary gear coupling mechanism arranged side by side, and a first gear ring of the first planetary gear coupling mechanism and a second gear ring adjacent to the first planetary gear coupling mechanism are externally meshed for transmission;

[0007] The first input shaft of the first planetary gear coupling mechanism is connected to the drive motor, the first ring gear of the first planetary gear coupling mechanism is connected to the first electromagnetic locker, the first output shaft of the first planetary gear coupling mechanism is provided with a second electromagnetic locker for locking or unlocking the first planet carrier in the first planetary gear coupling mechanism to drive the first output shaft, the first output shaft is connected to the transmission, and the transmission is connected to the drive axle of the electric tractor through the third output shaft;

[0014] Furthermore, the operating information of the electric tractor includes key signal, transmission gear signal, pedal position signal, operation mode signal, motor and rotating shaft speed signal.

[0015] Furthermore, the transmission is an intermediate shaft type transmission.

[0016] A control method for a double-row planetary gear electric tractor coupling device includes the following steps: After the electric tractor starts, the whole vehicle enters system self-check. After the system self-check passes, the whole vehicle controller obtains the key signal, transmission gear position signal, pedal position signal, operation mode signal, first electromagnetic lock position signal, second electromagnetic lock position signal, third electromagnetic lock position signal, and motor rotating shaft speed signal. The whole vehicle controller sends control signals to the BMS controller, drive motor controller, lock controller, PTO motor controller, and distribution box according to the obtained information, so that the electric tractor selects different control modes:

[0017] 1) Only driving mode: When the whole vehicle controller receives the only driving mode, the whole vehicle controller calculates the real-time required power Px. When the rated power Pq of the drive motor is greater than or equal to Px, the lock controller controls the first electromagnetic lock to engage. At this time, the drive motor is in the working state. The whole vehicle controller calculates the target speed nq of the drive motor, and then sends the signal to the drive motor controller. The drive motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the signal of the drive motor controller;

[0018] When Pq < Px, the lock controller controls the third electromagnetic lock to engage. At this time, both the drive motor and the PTO motor are in the working state. The whole vehicle controller calculates the target speed nq of the drive motor and the target speed np of the PTO motor based on the maximum working efficiency distribution control strategy, and then sends the signal to the drive motor controller and the PTO motor controller. The drive motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the signal of the drive motor controller, and the PTO motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the signal of the PTO motor controller;

[0019] 2) Only operation mode: When the whole vehicle controller receives the only operation mode, the lock controller controls the first electromagnetic lock to engage. At this time, the PTO motor is in the working state. The whole vehicle controller calculates the target speed np of the PTO motor, and then sends the signal to the PTO motor controller. The PTO motor operates at a constant speed according to the signal of the PTO motor controller. The sensor collects the actual speed of the PTO motor in real time. The whole vehicle controller compares the actual speed of the PTO motor with the target speed of the PTO motor and sends the signal to the PTO motor controller in real time, and controls the speed of the PTO motor through the PTO motor controller to keep the PTO motor operating at a constant speed;

[0020] 3) Walking operation mode: When the whole machine controller receives the walking operation mode, the locking controller controls the first electromagnetic lock to engage. At this time, the drive motor and the PTO motor are both in working state. The whole machine controller calculates the target speed nq of the drive motor and the target speed np of the PTO motor, and then transmits the signal to the drive motor controller and the PTO motor controller. The drive motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the signal of the drive motor controller, and the PTO motor works at a constant speed according to the signal of the PTO motor controller. The sensor collects the actual speed of the PTO motor in real time. The whole machine controller compares the actual speed of the PTO motor with the target speed of the PTO motor and transmits the signal to the PTO motor controller in real time. The speed of the PTO motor is controlled by the PTO motor controller to keep the PTO motor working at a constant speed.

[0021] 4) Energy recovery mode: When the whole machine controller recognizes that the tractor is stationary and the PTO is not working or braking, the lock controller controls the second electromagnetic lock and the third electromagnetic lock to combine. At this time, the drive motor is in working state, and the PTO motor works as a generator. The whole machine controller calculates the speed nq of the drive motor in the lowest energy consumption state, and then transmits the signal to the drive motor. The drive motor adjusts the speed in real time according to the signal of the drive motor controller, and the PTO motor acts as an electric motor to transmit electrical energy to the power battery pack.

[0022] The beneficial effects brought by the present invention are:

[0023] 1. The double-row planetary gear coupling transmission of the present invention has a more compact structure and a greater load-bearing capacity because the ring gear on the first planetary gear coupling mechanism and the ring gear arranged on the second planetary gear coupling mechanism are externally meshed for transmission; compared with the dual-motor coupling mechanism of an electric tractor of the same level, the volume of the double-row planetary gear coupling transmission of the present invention is reduced by 20%, on this basis, the capacity of the power battery can be increased, and the cruising range of the electric tractor can be increased.

[0024] 2. Using dual motors as the power source of the electric tractor, the drive motor transmits power to the variable speed drive axle alone, and the PTO motor drives power to the rotary tillage mechanism alone. This can simplify the gearbox structure, facilitate the layout of the entire vehicle, and select the appropriate working mode according to different operating requirements, thereby improving the motor's working efficiency and energy utilization.

[0025] 3. By controlling the lock, the four operating modes of "walking only mode, working only mode, walking and working separation mode, and energy recovery mode" can be flexibly switched to meet the multi-scenario operation needs of electric tractors and improve the power, economy and adaptability of the vehicle.

[0026] 4. When the electric tractor is temporarily parked or braking, the system enters the energy recovery mode to improve the energy utilization of the whole machine.

[0027] 5. By controlling the hydraulic pump to change the transmission ratio of the continuously variable transmission mechanism, the dual power coupling mechanism can distribute the power of the drive motor and the PTO motor to the drive axle and the rotary tillage mechanism based on the maximum work efficiency distribution control strategy.

[0028] 6. The power source used in the present invention is an electric motor, and the power battery pack provides electrical energy to achieve zero pollution emissions, effectively solving the harm of traditional tractor emissions to crops and the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
