Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heavy machinery, and in particular to a method and system for evaluating the stroke stability of an excavator's working device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the continuous development of the hydraulic excavator industry, users' requirements for excavators have gone beyond simply meeting functional needs. Users are increasingly focusing on higher-level requirements such as overall machine operability and comfort. How to evaluate the operability of an excavator is one of the important issues in excavator technology development. In the industry, the evaluation of excavator operability is mainly conducted by experienced commissioning personnel within the excavator company, relying on subjective experience to qualitatively evaluate the quality of operability. This evaluation method currently lacks consistency in results and cannot provide reliable data for subsequent analysis by R&D personnel.

[0003] Currently, subjective evaluations of excavator operability are primarily conducted by experienced commissioning personnel and operators. The repeatability and reproducibility of these subjective evaluations are significantly influenced by the evaluators, and the large granularity of the scores makes it difficult to precisely pinpoint product performance, thus failing to effectively support product improvement efforts by R&D personnel.

[0022] Furthermore, the host computer performs a stability evaluation based on the received data, and the methods for obtaining the stability evaluation results include:

[0023] The force and angle signals of the control handle are acquired, and the stroke signals of the working device are acquired. The stroke signals include displacement signals and angle signals. The relative standard deviations of the strokes of the bucket, stick, boom, and swing are calculated for the same control handle angle and the same control time.

[0027] Secondly, the present invention also provides a method for evaluating the operational stability of an excavator's working device, based on the system described in the first aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0028] Step A: Conduct a single-action test of the excavator. The initial position of the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders is the minimum stroke of the cylinders, and the initial position of the swing is when the upper body is in a forward posture. The ending position of the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders is the maximum stroke of the cylinders, and the ending position of the swing is when the machine turns 90° to the left.

[0029] The control handles were rapidly changed from their initial positions to their working positions; the timestamps t (when the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders reached their maximum stroke, and when the upper body rotated 90° to the left) were recorded. 单动作 Calculate the single-action time Δt 单动作 =t 单动作 -t2.

[0040] The overall relative standard deviation of the excavator's working device stroke is used as the stability evaluation result. The smaller the overall relative standard deviation of the excavator's working device stroke, the better the stability of the machine's working device operation.

The stroke signal curves of each working device are obtained, including the displacement curves of the bucket cylinder, stick cylinder, boom cylinder, and the swing angle curve of the chassis.

[0043] When the control handle moves from the dead zone to the controllable zone, the handle force will undergo a step change. The moment of the sudden change in handle force is defined as t1, and the moment when the displacement and angle of the working device begin to change is defined as t2.

[0044] Record the maximum dead zone angle θ of the corresponding control handle for each working device. 死区 Define the angle of the control handle corresponding to the abrupt change t1 during the step change of the control handle force as the maximum dead zone angle θ of the control handle. 死区 .

[0045] Calculate the controllable angle range Δθ of the corresponding control handle for each working device. 可控区 Differentiating the displacement and angle curves of the working device separately yields the velocity and angular velocity curves. The moment when the velocity and angular velocity of the working device stop changing is defined as t3, and the angle of the control handle at t3 is defined as the maximum angle θ of the controllable range. 可控区 The controllable angle range Δθ of the control handle 可控区 =θ 可控区 -θ 死区 .

[0046] Furthermore, obtain the weights of the bucket, stick, boom, and slewing device during operation. 铲斗 w 斗杆 w 动臂 and w 回转 The methods include:

[0047] Install offline vehicle-mounted monitoring equipment, including bucket cylinder displacement sensors, stick cylinder displacement sensors, boom cylinder sensors, swing angle sensors, and data acquisition devices, on no fewer than 20 similar excavators on the market. Record the percentage (P) of bucket, stick, boom, and swing operation time in the total operation time during actual excavator operation. 铲斗 P 斗杆 P 动臂 P 回转 .

[0048] Using the formula w = P i / ∑P calculates the weights of the bucket, stick, boom, and slewing device during operation. 铲斗 w 斗杆 w 动臂 w 回转 In the formula, i represents a single working device.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] The operability of construction machinery can be evaluated from aspects such as precision, micro-motion, and smoothness. Precision is a very important evaluation indicator for the operation and control of construction machinery. Precision mainly refers to the stable and accurate response of the action after the control command is issued during the operation of the product. For excavators, the operational precision can be evaluated by the stability of the working device's stroke after the same control command is issued during the product's operation, thus achieving an evaluation of the product's operational precision.

[0060] Example 1:

[0061] In the existing technology, the repeatability and reproducibility of subjective evaluation results are greatly affected by the evaluators, the scoring granularity is too large to accurately locate product performance, and it cannot effectively support the product improvement work of R&D personnel.

[0062] This embodiment provides a stroke stability evaluation system for excavator working devices, including collecting force and angle signals from the control handle, collecting stroke (displacement and angle) signals of the working device, calculating the relative standard deviation of the stroke of four single actions (bucket, stick, boom, and swing) under the same control handle angle and the same control time, and further combining the weights of the four working devices in the working conditions to calculate the overall relative standard deviation of the working device stroke, thereby realizing a quantitative and objective evaluation of the working device's operational stroke stability.

[0063] This invention provides a system for evaluating the stroke stability of an excavator's working device, mainly comprising a left operating handle force sensor 1, a right operating handle force sensor 2, a left operating handle angle sensor 3, a right operating handle angle sensor 4, a bucket cylinder displacement sensor 5, a boom cylinder displacement sensor 6, a boom cylinder sensor 7, a swing angle sensor 8, a data acquisition instrument 9, and a host computer 10.

[0064] Force sensor 1 and angle sensor 3 on the left control handle are installed on the left control lever to collect the handle force and angle during the unloading, digging, left slewing, and right slewing actions of the stick.

[0065] The force sensor 2 and angle sensor 4 on the right operating handle are installed on the right operating lever to collect the handle force and angle during the boom lowering, boom lifting, bucket digging, and bucket unloading operations.

[0066] Both handle force sensors 1 and 2 can measure the force along the X and Y axes, representing the handle force during the operation of different working devices. For example, the X and Y axes of the left-hand handle force sensor can measure the handle force during the boom and slewing movements, respectively.

[0067] Both handle angle sensors 3 and 4 can measure angles around the X and Y axes, representing the handle angles during different working device movements. For example, the X and Y axes of the left-hand handle angle sensor can measure the handle angles during the boom and slewing movements, respectively.

[0068] Displacement sensors 5-7 are installed near the cylinder pins of the bucket, stick, and boom, respectively. The displacement wires are parallel to the cylinders and are used to collect the cylinder displacements during the movement of the bucket, stick, and boom.

[0069] The slewing angle sensor is installed near the upper vehicle or slewing bearing to collect the slewing angle of the upper vehicle body.

[0070] The input terminal of data acquisition unit 9 is connected to the output terminals of sensors 1-8 for processing the acquired signals. Data acquisition unit 9 has a built-in storage module, enabling data acquisition and storage without connection to a host computer.

[0071] The input terminal of the host computer 10 is connected to the output terminal of the data acquisition instrument 9, and is used to analyze the received force, angle and displacement data, and to analyze and judge them according to the operation stability evaluation method of the excavator working device in this invention.

[0072] The data received by the host computer includes: time-domain signal data such as force and angle of the control handle, and time-domain signal data of the stroke (displacement and angle) of the working device;

[0073] Data processing performed by the host computer:

[0074] ①The moment of sudden change when extracting the handle force step

[0075] ② Extract the starting moment of the change in the stroke (displacement, angle) of the working device and the corresponding handle angle at that moment.

[0076] ③ Differentiate the time-domain signals of the working device's stroke (displacement, velocity) to obtain the time-domain signals of the working device's movement (velocity, angular velocity).

[0077] ④ The moment when the working device stops moving (speed, angular velocity) and the corresponding handle angle at that moment.

[0078] ⑤ The moment when the working device reaches its maximum stroke when the control handle is in the working position.

[0079] ⑥ Calculation of single-action time of the working device

[0080] ⑦ Intercept the single movement of the bucket, stick, boom, and slewing device within a specified time range.

[0081] ⑧ Calculate the average value, standard deviation, and relative standard deviation of the repeated single motions of the bucket, boom, slewing arm, and slewing arm.

[0082] Example 2:

[0083] This invention also provides a method for evaluating the operational stability of an excavator's working device, based on the system described in Embodiment 1, comprising the following steps:

[0084] Step 1: Perform the excavator's digging work cycle, which includes four actions: digging, full bucket lifting and slewing, unloading, and empty bucket return. The operating range of the control handle includes the dead zone, controllable zone, and saturation zone. When the control handle is in the dead zone, the working device does not move; when the control handle is in the controllable zone, the working device's operating speed increases with the increase of the handle's travel; when the control handle is in the saturation zone, the working device's operating speed does not change. When the control handle moves from the dead zone to the controllable zone, the handle force will undergo a step change. Define the abrupt change in handle force as t1, and define the initial change in the displacement and angle of the working device as t2. Obtain the travel signal curves of each working device (displacement curves of the bucket cylinder, stick cylinder, boom cylinder, and the swing angle curve of the chassis).

[0085] Step 2: Record the maximum dead zone angle θ of the corresponding control handle for each working device. 死区 Define the angle of the control handle corresponding to the abrupt change t1 during the step change of the control handle force as the maximum dead zone angle θ of the control handle. 死区 .

[0086] Step 3: Calculate the controllable angle range Δθ of the corresponding control handle for each working device. 可控区 As the control handle moves from the controllable zone to the saturation zone, the velocity curves (velocity and angular velocity) of the working device change from rising curves to stable values. Differentiating the displacement and angle curves of the working device respectively yields the velocity and angular velocity curves. The moment when the velocity and angular velocity of the working device stop changing is defined as t3, and the angle of the control handle at t3 is defined as the maximum angle θ in the controllable zone. 可控区 The controllable angle range Δθ of the control handle 可控区 =θ 可控区 - θ 死区 .

[0087] Step 4: Conduct a single-action test of the excavator. The initial position of the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders is the minimum stroke of the cylinders. The initial position of the swing is when the upper body is in a forward posture. The ending position of the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders is the maximum stroke of the cylinders. The ending position of the swing is when the machine turns 90° to the left.

[0088] The control handles are respectively in the initial position (θ) 死区 -1°, with an error of ±0.5°), rapidly changing to the working position (θ). 死区 +Δθ 可控区 / 2, with an error of ±1°). Record the times t when the bucket, stick, and boom cylinders reach their maximum stroke and the upper body rotates 90° to the left. 单动作 Calculate the single-action time Δt 单动作 = t 单动作 -t2.

[0089] Step 5, repeat the actions of Step 4 n times (n≥3), and extract the single actions of bucket, stick, boom, and swing from t2+0.2Δt respectively. 单动作 At time t2+0.8Δt 单动作 Calculate the standard deviation S of the working device stroke (displacement x, angle θ) for three repeated actions with the same control handle stroke and the same control time. 位移 S 角度 .

[0090] Step 6: Calculate the average displacement of the working device travel for the same control handle stroke and the same control time in the n (n≥3) repeated actions in Step 4. Average angle

[0091] Step 7: Calculate the relative standard deviation of the travel of the bucket, stick, boom, and slewing device.

[0092] Step 8: Install offline vehicle-mounted monitoring equipment, including bucket cylinder displacement sensor 5, stick cylinder displacement sensor 6, boom cylinder sensor 7, swing angle sensor 8, and data acquisition unit 9, on no fewer than 20 excavators of the same type on the market. Record the percentage P of bucket, stick, boom, and swing operation time in the total operation time during actual excavator operation. 铲斗 P 斗杆 P 动臂 P 回转 Since excavator operations actually include both single and compound actions, it is necessary to use the formula w = P i / ∑P (where i represents a single working device such as bucket, stick, boom, and swing), further calculating the weight w of the bucket, stick, boom, and swing working devices in the operation. 铲斗 w 斗杆 w 动臂 w 回转 .

[0093] Step 9: Calculate the comprehensive relative standard deviation of the excavator's working device stroke.

[0094] RSD 总 =w 铲斗 RSD 铲斗 +w 斗杆 RSD 斗杆 +w 动臂 RSD 动臂 +w 回转 RSD 回转The dead zone refers to the idle travel of the control handle; the controllable zone refers to the range of control handle travel where the speed of the working device increases with the increase of the handle angle; and the saturation zone refers to the range of control handle travel where the speed of the working device no longer increases with the increase of the handle angle. By repeatedly measuring the travel of the working devices, the relative standard deviation of each working device's movement is calculated. Combined with the weights of each working device, the overall relative standard deviation of the working device travel is obtained. The smaller the deviation, the better the stability of the overall machine's working device operation.
