[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the embodiments of the present application, and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0059] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary driving system provided in the embodiments of the present application. As shown in Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present application, a method for controlling a hydraulic auxiliary driving system is provided, which is applied to a crane, and the hydraulic auxiliary driving system comprises a hydraulic driving axle. The method comprises the following steps:

[0060] Step S11: determining a first torque output by a mechanical driving axle of the crane;

[0061] Step S12: determining a second torque output by the hydraulic driving axle;

[0062] Step S13: adjusting the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle when the difference between the first torque and the second torque is greater than a preset difference.

[0063] Specifically, a large crane usually has two power sources, i.e., a chassis engine and a superstructure engine. When the driving force required by the crane for heavy-load climbing or getting out of a poor road condition cannot be met by the mechanical driving axle driven by the chassis engine, the superstructure engine can be started to drive the hydraulic driving axle through the hydraulic auxiliary driving system, so as to provide auxiliary driving force for the crane. After the first torque output by the mechanical driving axle and the second torque output by the hydraulic driving axle are determined in steps S11 and S12, step S13 is entered. In step S13, it is judged whether the difference between the first torque and the second torque is greater than a preset difference. When the difference between the first torque and the second torque is greater than the preset difference, the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle is adjusted, so that the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle can follow the torque output by the mechanical driving axle in real time. Through the above method, the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle and the torque output by the mechanical driving axle can meet the set distribution relationship, thereby reducing the useless consumption of power between different power sources and improving the power performance and economy of the whole vehicle.

[0064] In actual application, the PID (Proportion Integral Differential) algorithm can be used to control the difference between the first torque and the second torque in real time, i.e., ΔT = |T1-T2|≤ set value, where T1 is the first torque and T2 is the second torque, so as to ensure that the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle and the torque output by the mechanical drive axle meet certain relationship requirements, the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle follows the torque output by the mechanical drive axle in real time and is adjusted accordingly, and the torques of all the drive axles of the vehicle meet the set distribution relationship.

[0065] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a flowchart of step S11 in the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary drive system provided in the embodiments of the present application. Determining the first torque output by the mechanical drive axle of the crane in step S11 can include the following steps.

[0066] Step S111: obtaining the speed of the chassis engine of the crane and the load rate of the chassis engine;

[0067] Step S112: determining the torque of the chassis engine according to the speed of the chassis engine, the load rate of the chassis engine and the external characteristic curve of the chassis engine;

[0068] Step S113: determining the first torque according to the torque of the chassis engine, the gear of the transmission of the crane and the transmission speed ratio of the mechanical transmission chain of the crane.

[0069] Specifically, the chassis engine transmits power to the mechanical drive axle through the transmission and the transfer. In step S111, the load rate is a relative concept of the percentage of the torque of the engine at a certain speed, and the speed and the load rate of the chassis engine can be directly obtained from the chassis engine controller of the crane, and then step S112 is entered. In step S112, the external characteristic curve of the engine refers to the curve of the power or torque measured at full load of the engine with the change of the speed, and the torque of the chassis engine can be calculated according to the speed, the load rate and the external characteristic curve of the chassis engine. Further, in step S113, the first torque output by the mechanical drive axle is determined according to the torque of the chassis engine, the gear of the transmission of the crane and the transmission speed ratio of the mechanical transmission chain of the crane. The transmission speed ratio of the mechanical transmission chain includes the transmission speed ratio corresponding to each gear of the transmission, the transmission speed ratio of the transfer and the transmission speed ratio of the mechanical drive axle.

[0070] In one embodiment, the hydraulic auxiliary drive system further includes a hydraulic drive motor. Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3is a flowchart of step S12 in the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary driving system provided in the embodiments of the present application. Determining the second torque output by the hydraulic driving axle in step S12 can include the following steps:

[0071] Step S121: obtaining the pressure of the hydraulic driving motor and the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor;

[0072] Step S122: determining the second torque according to the pressure of the hydraulic driving motor, the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor and the transmission speed ratio of the hydraulic driving axle.

[0073] Specifically, the hydraulic driving motor is drivingly connected with the hydraulic driving axle. After obtaining the pressure of the hydraulic driving motor and the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor in step S121, step S122 is entered. In step S122, the torque of the hydraulic driving motor can be calculated according to the pressure and the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor, and the second torque output by the hydraulic driving axle can be determined according to the transmission speed ratio of the hydraulic driving axle.

[0074] In one embodiment, adjusting the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle in step S13 can include:

[0075] Adjusting the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor to adjust the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle.

[0076] Specifically, the output torque of the hydraulic driving motor is determined by the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor and the pressure of the hydraulic driving motor, so changing the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor can adjust the output torque of the hydraulic driving motor, and further adjust the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle. In actual application, the displacement of the hydraulic driving motor can be changed by adjusting the current of the hydraulic driving motor.

[0077] In one embodiment, the method can further include:

[0078] Adjusting the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle in the case where the first torque is less than the second torque.

[0079] Specifically, when it is judged that the first torque is less than the second torque, the size of the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle is adjusted to ensure that the torque output by the hydraulic driving axle cannot be greater than the torque output by the mechanical driving axle at any time, thereby protecting the hydraulic driving axle from being damaged due to excessive torque.

[0080] In one embodiment, the method can further include:

[0081] Determining whether a hydraulic driving start instruction is received;

[0082] In the case where it is determined that the hydraulic driving start instruction is received, controlling the hydraulic auxiliary driving system to drive.

[0083] Specifically, when the operator presses the hydraulic drive switch, a hydraulic drive starting instruction can be generated, and after the system receives the hydraulic drive starting instruction, the hydraulic auxiliary drive system is controlled to drive, thereby providing the crane with an auxiliary driving force. In actual application, the hydraulic drive switch can be arranged in the cab, so as to facilitate the operator to manually open or close the hydraulic drive mode according to the running conditions of the crane.

[0084] In one embodiment, the hydraulic auxiliary drive system further comprises a superstructure engine and a hydraulic drive oil pump, and the step of controlling the hydraulic auxiliary drive system to drive can comprise:

[0085] controlling the superstructure engine to start to drive the hydraulic drive oil pump.

[0086] Specifically, the superstructure engine is in driving connection with the hydraulic drive oil pump. After the system receives the hydraulic drive starting instruction, the superstructure engine is controlled to start, and it is detected whether the system is normal, for example, whether the rotating speed of the superstructure engine reaches a preset rotating speed and whether the pressure of the hydraulic drive oil pump reaches a preset pressure. After the detection is normal, the hydraulic reversing valve between the hydraulic drive oil pump and the hydraulic drive motor is controlled to open, so that the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank enters the hydraulic drive motor through the hydraulic drive oil pump, to drive the hydraulic drive motor to rotate, and then the power is transmitted to the hydraulic drive axle through the hydraulic drive motor, so as to finally output the auxiliary driving force, thereby realizing smooth climbing and escape in the process of heavy-load running of the crane.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is another flowchart of the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary drive system provided in the embodiments of the present application. Based on the steps S11 to S13, the method can further comprise the following steps:

[0088] Step S14: determining a first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle;

[0089] Step S15: determining a second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle;

[0090] Step S16: adjusting the size of the vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel in the case that the difference between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed is located outside the allowable range.

[0091] Specifically, in step S14 and step S15, after the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle and the torque output by the mechanical drive axle meet the set distribution relationship, the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle and the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle are further determined, and then step S16 is entered. In step S16, it is judged whether the difference between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed is within the allowable range. When the difference between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed is not within the allowable range, the size of the second vehicle speed is adjusted so that the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle follows the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle in real time, ensuring that the matching accuracy of the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle and the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle meets certain requirements, and avoiding the phenomenon of slipping or dragging of the hydraulic drive axle caused by different vehicle speeds.

[0092] In actual application, the PID algorithm can be used to control the difference between the first vehicle speed and the second vehicle speed in real time, that is, ΔV = |V1-V2|≤set value, where V1 is the first vehicle speed and V2 is the second vehicle speed, so that the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle follows the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle in real time, ensuring that the matching accuracy of the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle and the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle meets certain requirements.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flowchart of step S14 in the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary drive system provided in the embodiments of the present application. Determining the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle in step S14 can include the following steps:

[0094] Step S141: obtaining the speed of the transmission of the crane;

[0095] Step S142: determining the first vehicle speed according to the speed of the transmission, the gear of the transmission, the transmission speed ratio of the mechanical transmission chain and the diameter of the first vehicle wheel.

[0096] Specifically, in step S141, a speed sensor can be installed on the transmission to obtain the speed of the transmission, and then step S142 is entered. In step S142, the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle is determined according to the speed of the transmission, the gear of the transmission, the transmission speed ratio of the mechanical transmission chain and the diameter of the first vehicle wheel.

[0097] In actual application, the first vehicle speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle can also be determined by the wheel speed of the first vehicle wheel driven by the mechanical drive axle output by the ABS controller and the diameter of the first vehicle wheel.

[0098] In one embodiment, the hydraulic auxiliary drive system further comprises a hydraulic drive motor. Please refer to Figure 6 ,Figure 6 is a flowchart of step S15 in the method for controlling the hydraulic auxiliary drive system provided in the embodiments of the present application. Determining the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle in step S15 can include the following steps:

[0099] Step S151: obtaining the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor;

[0100] Step S152: determining the second vehicle speed according to the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor, the transmission speed ratio of the hydraulic drive axle, and the diameter of the second vehicle wheel.

[0101] Specifically, the hydraulic drive motor is drivingly connected to the hydraulic drive axle. After obtaining the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor in step S151, step S152 is entered. In step S122, the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle can be determined according to the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor, the transmission speed ratio of the hydraulic drive axle, and the diameter of the second vehicle wheel.

[0102] In one embodiment, adjusting the magnitude of the vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel in step S16 can include:

[0103] adjusting the displacement of the hydraulic drive motor to adjust the magnitude of the vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel.

[0104] Specifically, when the flow rate input to the hydraulic drive motor is constant, the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor is inversely proportional to the displacement of the hydraulic drive motor, so changing the displacement of the hydraulic drive motor can adjust the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor, and further adjust the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle. In actual application, the displacement of the hydraulic drive motor can be changed by adjusting the current of the hydraulic drive motor.

[0105] Further, the hydraulic auxiliary drive system further includes an upper vehicle engine and a hydraulic drive oil pump. In an alternative embodiment, adjusting the magnitude of the vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel in step S16 can include:

[0106] adjusting the rotational speed of the upper vehicle engine and / or the flow rate of the hydraulic drive oil pump to adjust the magnitude of the vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel.

[0107] Specifically, the rotational speed of the upper vehicle engine can be directly adjusted to change the flow rate of the hydraulic drive oil pump, so that the rotational speed of the hydraulic drive motor changes, and further the second vehicle speed of the second vehicle wheel driven by the hydraulic drive axle is adjusted.

[0108] By the technical solution, the first torque output by the mechanical drive axle of the crane is determined, the second torque output by the hydraulic drive axle is determined, and the size of the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle is adjusted in the case that the difference between the first torque and the second torque is greater than the preset difference value, so that the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle follows the torque output by the mechanical drive axle in real time. In this way, the torque output by the hydraulic drive axle and the torque output by the mechanical drive axle can meet the set distribution relationship, thereby reducing the useless consumption of power between different power sources and improving the power performance and economy of the vehicle.
