DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments according to the present application more clearly understood, the embodiments according to the present application are further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the features of the embodiments according to the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0045] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments according to the present application, however, the embodiments according to the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, therefore, the protection scope provided by the embodiments according to the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] Some embodiments provided by the present application are described below with reference to Figures 1 to 13 the drawings.

[0047] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the first aspect of the application provides a control method of a drive system of an engineering vehicle, comprising:

[0048] Step S102: obtaining a standard displacement of the drive system of the engineering vehicle according to an input user instruction;

[0049] Step S104: obtaining steering angle information and travel pump pressure information of the engineering vehicle, wherein the travel pump pressure information is a pressure difference between a working port and a compensation port of the travel pump;

[0050] Step S106: controlling the drive system according to the standard displacement, the steering angle information and the travel pump pressure information.

[0051] In this embodiment, first, the standard displacement of the drive system of the engineering vehicle is obtained according to the input user instruction, and the standard displacement includes a standard displacement of the travel pump and a standard displacement of the motor. Then, the steering angle information and the pressure information of the travel pump of the engineering vehicle are obtained, and the drive system of the engineering vehicle is controlled according to the standard displacement, the steering angle information and the pressure information, so that the travel pump and the motor perform corresponding displacement actions, thereby matching the front and rear wheel speeds and the left and right wheel speeds. The travel pump pressure information is a pressure difference between a working port and a compensation port of the travel pump. Using the travel pump pressure signal as the main control object can correct the system error in real time, correct the system pressure value before the tire slips, and achieve the purpose of active control. It can also avoid the problem that the system error becomes larger and larger due to factors such as too high precision requirements for sensors and execution unit components and component aging and wear.

[0052] As Figure 2 shown, according to the control method of the drive system of the engineering vehicle according to one embodiment of the application, the drive system is controlled according to the standard displacement, the steering angle information and the travel pump pressure information, and the following process steps are specifically included:

[0053] Step S202: obtaining front and rear wheel speed ratios and left and right wheel speed ratios of the engineering vehicle according to the steering angle information;

[0054] Step S204: obtaining a target displacement of the drive system according to the front and rear wheel speed ratios, the left and right wheel speed ratios and the standard displacement;

[0055] Step S206: adjusting the displacement of the drive system according to the target displacement until the travel pump pressure information meets the preset requirements.

[0056] In this embodiment, the driving system is controlled according to the standard displacement, the steering angle information and the travel pump pressure information, specifically, the front-rear wheel speed ratio and the left-right wheel speed ratio of the engineering vehicle are obtained according to the steering angle information, and then the target displacement of the driving system is obtained according to the front-rear wheel speed ratio, the left-right wheel speed ratio and the standard displacement, and the displacement of the driving system is adjusted according to the target displacement until the travel pump pressure information meets the preset requirement. Specifically, the steering angle of the whole vehicle is calculated through an angle sensing unit such as a cylinder displacement sensor and a hinge angle sensor, and then the front-rear wheel speed ratio and the left-right wheel speed ratio of the engineering vehicle can be calculated through the geometric relationship of the whole vehicle, and the target displacement can be obtained according to the front-rear wheel speed ratio, the left-right wheel speed ratio and the standard displacement. According to the target displacement and the pressure difference between the working port and the oil supplement port of the travel pump, the displacement of the driving system is continuously adjusted until the travel pump pressure information meets the preset requirement, and then the travel pump and the motor perform the corresponding displacement action to make the front-rear wheel speed and the left-right wheel speed match.

[0057] As shown in the control method of the driving system of the engineering vehicle according to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 specifically includes the following process steps:

[0058] Step S302: adjusting the displacement of the driving system according to the target displacement;

[0059] Step S304: when the travel pump pressure information is greater than the preset pressure difference threshold, reducing the displacement of the driving system until the travel pump pressure information meets the requirement of the preset pressure difference threshold;

[0060] Step S306: when the travel pump pressure information is less than the preset pressure difference threshold, increasing the displacement of the driving system until the travel pump pressure information meets the requirement of the preset pressure difference threshold.

[0061] In this embodiment, the displacement of the driving system is adjusted according to the target displacement until the travel pump pressure information meets the preset requirement, specifically, the displacement of the driving system is adjusted according to the target displacement, when the travel pump pressure information is greater than the preset pressure difference threshold, the displacement of the driving system needs to be reduced until the travel pump pressure information is within the preset pressure difference threshold, and when the travel pump pressure information is less than the preset pressure difference threshold, the displacement of the driving system needs to be increased until the travel pump pressure information meets the requirement of the preset pressure difference threshold. It can be understood that if the steering angle is greater than zero and the travel pump pressure information is higher than the set value, it represents that the front wheel displacement is too large and needs to be reduced. If the travel pump pressure information is lower than the set value, it represents that the front wheel displacement is too small and needs to be increased. The above process is a continuous adjustment until the travel pump pressure information is within the preset pressure difference threshold.

[0062] As shown in the control method of the driving system of the engineering vehicle according to one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4As shown, a control method for the drive system of an engineering vehicle according to an embodiment of this application obtains the target displacement of the drive system based on the front-to-rear wheel speed ratio, the left-to-right wheel speed ratio, and the standard displacement. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0063] Step S402: Obtain the adjusted displacement based on the front-to-rear wheel speed ratio and the left-to-right wheel speed ratio;

[0064] Step S404: Add the standard displacement to the adjusted displacement to obtain the target displacement of the drive system.

[0065] In this embodiment, the target displacement of the drive system is obtained based on the front-to-rear wheel speed ratio, the left-to-right wheel speed ratio, and the standard displacement. Specifically, an adjustable displacement is obtained based on the front-to-rear wheel speed ratio and the left-to-right wheel speed ratio. The adjustable displacement can be positive or negative. Then, the adjustable displacement is added to the standard displacement to obtain the target displacement of the drive system. It can be understood that when the adjustable displacement is negative, the displacement value obtained by adding the standard displacement and the adjustable displacement is less than the standard displacement; when the adjustable displacement is positive, the displacement value obtained by adding the standard displacement and the adjustable displacement is greater than the standard displacement.

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, the control method for the drive system of an engineering vehicle according to an embodiment of this application, after adjusting the displacement of the drive system according to the target displacement until the pressure information of the driving pump meets the preset requirements, further includes the following process steps:

[0067] Step S502: Obtain the front and rear wheel speed difference information of the engineering vehicle;

[0068] Step S504: Adjust the displacement of the drive system based on the front and rear wheel speed difference information.

[0069] In this embodiment, after adjusting the drive system's displacement according to the target displacement until the driving pump pressure information meets the preset requirements, the front and rear wheel speed difference information of the engineering vehicle is obtained. Then, the drive system's displacement is adjusted based on the front and rear wheel speed difference information. It can be understood that if the pressure signal, as the main control, fails to enable the system to operate normally, or if extreme situations occur causing a speed difference between the front and rear wheels, such as slippage, the speed difference calculation module will forcibly intervene. It calculates the front and rear wheel speed difference based on the front and rear wheel speed information and adjusts the drive system's displacement accordingly, thereby restoring the system to a controllable state. The front and rear wheel speeds, as well as the left and right wheel speeds, are matched. The engineering vehicle's drive system continuously monitors pressure and speed, and performs the next round of adjustments when shifting gears, accelerating or decelerating, or when an anomaly occurs.

[0070] like Figure 6 As shown, the control method for the drive system of an engineering vehicle according to an embodiment of this application further includes the following process steps before controlling the drive system based on standard displacement, steering angle information, and driving pump pressure information:

[0071] Step S602: When the steering angle information is zero, control the drive system according to the standard displacement.

[0072] In this embodiment, before controlling the drive system based on the standard displacement, steering angle information, and drive pump pressure information, if the steering angle information is zero, the drive system is controlled based on the standard displacement.

[0084] The standard displacement calculation module 220 is used to calculate the ratio of standard driving pump and motor displacements by means of user instructions collected by the input unit 210.

[0085] The angle sensing unit 230 includes an articulated angle sensor, a left steering cylinder displacement sensor, and a right steering cylinder displacement sensor, which are used to collect the vehicle's steering angle information.

[0086] like Figure 7 As shown, the speed ratio calculation unit 240 includes a front-to-rear wheel speed ratio calculation unit 240 and a left-to-right wheel speed ratio calculation unit 240, used to process the collected steering angle information and calculate the front-to-rear wheel speed ratio and the left-to-right wheel speed ratio during turning. Specifically, the minimum turning radius of the outer front wheel of the engineering vehicle 50 is 'a', the minimum turning radius of the inner front wheel is 'b', and the minimum turning radius of the rear axle center point is 'c'. Therefore, the speed ratio between the outer and inner front wheels of the engineering vehicle 50 is a / b, and the speed ratio between the outer and rear front wheels is a / c. Furthermore, we know that the maximum steering angle of the front wheels is 47.5°, and the maximum steering angle of the articulated wheel is 15°. We can correlate the speed ratio with the steering angle through simple mathematical calculations (approximately linear). For example, when the front wheel steering angle is 47.5°, the speed of the inner front wheel is calculated based on the speed of the outer front wheel: front outer wheel speed / (a / c). Then, the required displacement and control current are calculated theoretically.

[0087] The speed sensing unit 250 includes a left motor speed sensor, a right motor speed sensor, and a gearbox speed sensor, which are used to collect information on the speed of the front-wheel drive left and right wheels and the overall vehicle speed.

[0088] Speed ​​difference calculation unit 260 is used to calculate the speed difference between the front and rear wheels.

[0089] The pressure sensing unit 270 includes a pressure sensor at the working port of the left drive pump, a pressure sensor at the oil replenishment port of the left drive pump, a pressure sensor at the working port of the right drive pump, and a pressure sensor at the oil replenishment port of the right drive pump, which are used to collect drive pump pressure information.

[0090] The differential pressure calculation module 280 is configured to calculate the pressure difference between the working port of the traveling pump and the oil supplement port.

[0091] The adjustment amount calculation module 290 is configured to comprehensively calculate the adjustment amount according to the adjustment amounts given by the speed ratio calculation module, the speed difference calculation module and the differential pressure calculation module 280.

[0092] The output displacement calculation module 310 is configured to calculate the actual output displacement value. The execution unit 320 includes a left traveling pump, a right traveling pump, a left motor and a right motor, and is configured to execute the displacement instruction given by the output displacement calculation module 310.

[0093] Taking the front wheel pump of the engineering vehicle as the traveling pump, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0094] In step S702, the system calculates the standard displacement according to the user instruction collected by the input unit.

[0095] In step S704, the angle sensor unit, the speed sensor unit and the pressure sensor unit collect system information and transmit the information to the speed ratio calculation module, the speed difference calculation module and the differential pressure calculation module, respectively.

[0096] In step S706, when the angle sensor unit feeds back the steering angle information greater than zero, the speed ratio calculation module calculates the required adjustment amount and feeds back the adjustment amount to the adjustment amount calculation module.

[0097] In step S708, the adjustment amount calculation module calculates the adjusted displacement, adds the adjusted displacement to the standard displacement to obtain the target displacement, and sends the target displacement to the execution unit.

[0098] In step S710, the execution unit obtains the instruction and the traveling pump and the motor execute the corresponding displacement action.

[0099] In step S712, if the differential pressure calculation module feeds back the traveling pump pressure information that does not meet the preset requirement, the execution unit continuously adjusts the displacement of the traveling pump and the motor until the traveling pump pressure information meets the preset requirement.

[0100] In step S714, after the traveling pump pressure information meets the preset requirement, if the speed difference calculation module feeds back the abnormality, the execution unit continuously adjusts the displacement of the traveling pump and the motor until the front wheel speed is effectively matched.

[0101] Specifically, at a certain moment, the angle sensing unit such as the cylinder displacement sensor and the hinged angle sensor calculates the whole vehicle steering angle, and then calculates the speed ratio of the left and right front wheels as a and the speed ratio of the front and rear wheels as b (the speed ratio of the front and rear wheels is calculated based on the front outer wheel) through the geometric relationship of the whole vehicle.

[0102] When the rear-drive mechanical gearbox is in F3 gear and the theoretical vehicle speed is 7.95 Km / h, the system will calculate the standard displacement required by the driving pump (the outer wheel) as 33.74 L in advance. If the steering angle information is zero, the driving system is controlled according to the standard displacement, which is the first level of matching. If the steering angle is greater than 0, the actual displacement required by the front-drive outer wheel is 33.74*b, and the displacement required by the inner wheel is 33.74*b / a, that is, the driving system is controlled according to the front-rear wheel speed ratio, the left-right wheel speed ratio and the standard displacement, which is the second level of matching. Then the system will judge whether the given displacement value is appropriate by monitoring the pressure difference (the working pressure of the driving pump-the oil supplement pressure) of the driving pump. If the pressure difference is higher than the set value, it means that the displacement of the front wheel is too large and needs to be reduced. If the pressure difference is lower than the set value, it means that the displacement of the front wheel is too small and needs to be increased. The above process is a continuous adjustment until the system pressure parameter is normal, and the actual displacement value is output to the pump, which is the third level of matching.

[0103] If the third level of matching also fails to make the system operate normally, or the front-rear wheel speed difference appears in the extreme case, such as the slipping condition, the speed difference calculation module will intervene forcibly, adjusts the displacement of the driving system according to the front-rear wheel speed difference, and makes the system return to a controllable state, which is the fourth level of matching.

[0104] After the above four levels of speed matching, the front-rear wheel speed and the left-right wheel speed of the system are matched, and the system continuously monitors the pressure and speed and adjusts in the next round when shifting, accelerating or decelerating, or an abnormality occurs.

[0105] In summary, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the application are:

[0106] 1. The speed control mode adopts a pressure signal as a main control object and a speed signal as an auxiliary control object. This control mode can avoid the problem of too high precision requirement for the sensor input unit and the execution unit device, and avoid the problem of system error becoming larger and larger due to factors such as device aging and wear.

[0107] 2. The speed control mode adopts four levels of matching adjustment to correct system error in real time. This control mode can correct system pressure value before the tire slips, so as to achieve the purpose of active control. In the extreme slipping case, the speed difference calculation adjusts the system back to the normal range, which is a double insurance for the system speed matching.
