[0002] The operation process of an aerial work vehicle often involves boom luffing. During the luffing movement of the boom, due to factors such as the deflection, gravity, inertia of the boom itself, and unstable pressure of the hydraulic system, the phenomenon of boom vibration may occur. When the boom luffing action starts or stops, due to the opening or closing action of the relevant control valves, the phenomenon of boom sinking or bouncing may occur.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a boom luffing control system, including: a hydraulic source, a luffing cylinder 2, a control valve group 1, and a controller.

[0041] The luffing cylinder 2 is configured to drive the boom to luff. There may be multiple luffing cylinders 2, and the luffing cylinders 2 are arranged in parallel.

[0042] The control valve group 1 includes a first control valve group disposed between the hydraulic source and the first working chamber 21 of the luffing cylinder 2 and a second control valve group disposed between the hydraulic source and the second working chamber 22 of the luffing cylinder 2. The first control valve group is connected to the first working chamber 21 through a first working port A, and the second control valve group is connected to the second working chamber 22 through a second working port B. The first control valve group is configured to control the pressure and / or flow rate of the first working port A, and the second control valve group is configured to control the pressure and / or flow rate of the second working port B. According to the above settings, the first working chamber 21 and the second working chamber 22 of the luffing cylinder 2 are respectively and independently connected to the first working port A of the first control valve group and the second working port B of the second control valve group. By adjusting the pressure and flow rate of the first working port A and the second working port B, the pressure and flow rate of the first working chamber 21 and the second working chamber 22 of the luffing cylinder 2 can be independently controlled. To improve the control accuracy, the control valve group 1 may adopt the form of digital control cartridge valves.

[0043] The controller is signal-connected to the first control valve group and the second control valve group. The controller is configured to send luffing control commands for adjusting the pressure and / or flow rate of the first working port A and the second working port B to the first control valve group and the second control valve group respectively according to the luffing action information of the boom and the pressure and / or flow rate in the boom luffing control system. To obtain the luffing action information of the boom, such as the boom starts to luff, the boom is luffing, and the boom stops luffing, it can be achieved by collecting the control signals of the control handle. To obtain the pressure and flow rate in the boom luffing control system, pressure detection devices and flow detection devices may be provided at positions where pressure and flow rate need to be detected in the hydraulic circuit, such as the positions of the first working port A and the second working port B. The functions of the above controller can be implemented by a valve control system based on the CAN (Controller Area Network) bus.

[0044] In the boom luffing control system provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first working chamber and the second working chamber of the luffing cylinder are respectively and independently connected to the first working port of the first control valve group and the second working port of the second control valve group. By adjusting the pressure and flow rate of the first working port and the second working port, the pressure and flow rate of the first working chamber and the second working chamber of the luffing cylinder can be independently controlled. The controller sends a luffing control instruction to the control valve group according to the requirements of the boom luffing action, in combination with the pressure and / or flow rate in the boom luffing control system, so as to achieve closed-loop control of pressure and flow rate. The boom is controlled to perform a luffing movement through the above luffing control instruction, which is beneficial to alleviating the boom sinking or rebounding phenomenon caused by the sudden change of the working chamber pressure of the luffing cylinder when the boom starts and stops the luffing action, and the vibration phenomenon generated due to the deflection, gravity, inertia of the boom itself and the unstable pressure of the hydraulic system during the luffing movement, and improving the smoothness of the boom luffing action.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first control valve group includes a first pilot valve 111 and a first hydraulic control valve 112. The first pilot valve 111 is signal-connected to the controller and connected to the control port of the first hydraulic control valve 112. The first control valve group controls the spool position of the first hydraulic control valve 112 through the first pilot valve 111 to control the pressure and / or flow rate of the first working port A. The second control valve group includes a second pilot valve 121 and a second hydraulic control valve 122. The second pilot valve 121 is signal-connected to the controller and connected to the control port of the second hydraulic control valve 122. The second control valve group controls the spool position of the second hydraulic control valve 122 through the second pilot valve 121 to control the pressure and / or flow rate of the second working port B. According to the above settings, the first control valve group includes a first hydraulic control valve and a first pilot valve, and the second control valve group includes a second hydraulic control valve and a second pilot valve. When the boom changes its action state, the spool positions of the first pilot valve 111 and the second pilot valve 121 change according to the luffing control instruction, the pilot control oil circuit is connected, and a hydraulic control signal corresponding to the luffing control instruction is output to the first hydraulic control valve 112 and the second hydraulic control valve 122 respectively, so as to control the pressure and flow rate of the first working port A and the second working port B by controlling the spool positions of the first hydraulic control valve 112 and the second hydraulic control valve 122.

[0046] In some embodiments, the control valve group 1 further includes a balance valve 3 disposed between the first control valve group and the first working chamber 21 of the luffing cylinder 2, and the control port of the balance valve 3 is correspondingly connected to the second working chamber 22 of the luffing cylinder 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, as one of the specific ways to adjust the flow rate of the luffing cylinder 2, a load feedback oil circuit 4 is provided between the hydraulic source and the luffing cylinder 2. The hydraulic source can adopt a load-sensitive pump.

[0048] To meet the control conditions of the first control valve group for the first working chamber 21 of the luffing cylinder 2, in some embodiments, the controller is configured such that when the boom starts a luffing operation, if the pressure at the first working port A is lower than the pressure in the first working chamber 21, a first control instruction is sent to the first control valve group to increase the pressure at the first working port A until the difference from the pressure in the first working chamber 21 is less than or equal to the allowable error range. The luffing control instruction includes the first control instruction.

[0049] To alleviate the vibration phenomenon when the boom performs a luffing operation, in some embodiments, the controller is configured to send a second control instruction to the first control valve group and the second control valve group to keep the flow rate at the first working port A and the flow rate at the second working port B stable. The luffing control instruction includes the second control instruction.

[0050] To alleviate the boom rebound phenomenon caused by the sudden drop in pressure at the second working port B when the boom luffing operation ends, in some embodiments, the controller is configured to send a third control instruction to the second control valve group when the boom stops the luffing operation to gradually reduce the pressure at the second working port B. The luffing control instruction includes the third control instruction.

[0051] To prevent the controller from malfunctioning when receiving luffing operation information in the case of no pressure or insufficient pressure in the hydraulic system, in some embodiments, the controller is configured to allow sending luffing control instructions to the first control valve group and the second control valve group if the outlet pressure of the hydraulic source is greater than or equal to the action threshold of the control valve group 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to send a standby control instruction to the second control valve group before the boom starts luffing or after the boom stops luffing when the boom luffing control system is started, so that the second working port B is communicated with the oil return pipeline. At this time, the pressure at the second working port B is not sufficient to open the control port of the balance valve 3. Under the action of the balance valve 3, the first working chamber 21 of the luffing cylinder 2 cannot drain oil through the balance valve 3, which helps to alleviate the phenomenon of the piston rod of the luffing cylinder sinking when the boom is in a static state.

[0053] In some embodiments, the controller described above can be implemented as a general-purpose processor, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, or any suitable combination thereof for performing the functions described in the present disclosure.

[0054] Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide an aerial work vehicle, including the aforementioned boom luffing control system. The aforementioned boom luffing control system can alleviate the vibration phenomenon during the luffing operation of the aerial work vehicle, as well as the sinking or rebounding phenomenon of the boom when the luffing operation starts or stops, and improve the smoothness of the luffing operation of the aerial work vehicle.

[0055] Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a boom luffing control method based on the aforementioned boom luffing control system, including: sending a luffing control instruction for adjusting the pressure and / or flow rate of the first working port A and the second working port B to the first control valve group and / or the second control valve group according to a luffing control signal for indicating the boom luffing operation and the pressure and / or flow rate within the boom luffing control system. The boom luffing control method is carried out based on the aforementioned boom luffing control system and has the corresponding advantages of the aforementioned boom luffing control system.

[0056] In some embodiments, sending a luffing control instruction to the first control valve group and / or the second control valve group includes: if the pressure of the first working port A is lower than the pressure of the first working chamber 21, sending a first control instruction to the first control valve group according to a start control signal for indicating the start of the boom luffing operation, the pressure of the first working port A, and the pressure of the first working chamber 21, so that the pressure of the first working port A increases until the difference from the pressure of the first working chamber 21 is less than or equal to the error tolerance range; sending a second control instruction to the first control valve group and the second control valve group according to a running control signal for indicating the boom luffing operation, the pressure and flow rate of the first working chamber 21, and the pressure and flow rate of the second working chamber 22, so that the flow rate of the first working port A and the flow rate of the second working port B are kept stable; sending a third control instruction to the second control valve group according to a stop control signal for indicating the stop of the boom luffing operation and the pressure of the second working port B, so that the pressure of the second working port B gradually decreases.

[0057] In some embodiments, before sending a luffing control instruction to the first control valve group and / or the second control valve group, if the outlet pressure of the hydraulic source is greater than or equal to the action threshold of control valve group 1, it is allowed to send a luffing control instruction to the first control valve group and the second control valve group.

In the following embodiments, the action threshold of control valve group 1 is set to 15 Bar, and the error allowable range of the difference between the pressure of the first working port A and the pressure of the first working chamber 21 is set to 5 Bar.

[0060] Obtain the outlet pressure of the hydraulic source and determine whether the outlet pressure of the hydraulic source is greater than or equal to 15 Bar;

[0061] If the outlet pressure of the hydraulic source is greater than or equal to 15 Bar, send an initialization control instruction to control valve group 1 to return the spool positions of the control valves in control valve group 1 to the initial positions, and allow sending a luffing control instruction to the first control valve group and the second control valve group;

[0062] Send a standby control instruction to the second control valve group to connect the second working port B to the oil return pipeline;
