Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, and more specifically to a testing platform for the digging resistance of a small backhoe excavator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, excavators are the most widely used and prevalent type of earthmoving machinery in the market. The bucket and bucket teeth are core components of excavators, directly interacting with the working medium and bearing significant impact loads. In extreme conditions such as clay, frozen soil, and gravel, problems like bucket cracking and bucket tooth breakage can occur, severely impacting excavator operating efficiency. Currently, excavators lack direct resistance testing devices, making it difficult for operators to accurately assess digging resistance. This often leads to overloading when excavating or breaking large rocks, resulting in severe bucket wear.

[0003] Due to the complex operating conditions of excavators and the constantly changing forces on the bucket, the digging resistance cannot be directly measured by installing sensors on the bucket, making the acquisition of digging resistance a technical challenge.

[0004] Existing methods for testing digging resistance mostly involve installing pressure and displacement sensors at the hydraulic cylinder and pin sensors at each hinge point. The sensor values ​​are measured during digging operations, and the bucket digging resistance value is calculated through theoretical derivation. However, existing testing technologies have two main drawbacks: first, the sensor installation and acquisition system is complex, and the pin sensors need to be customized, resulting in long lead times and high costs; second, the testing accuracy is low, the bucket resistance calculation formula is complex, and the derived calculation results cannot accurately and intuitively reflect the resistance experienced during bucket digging operations.

[0047] The material box fixing frame 1 is used to position the material box to ensure that the material box does not undergo relative displacement with the test platform during the operation of the test platform, thus affecting the experimental results.

[0048] The counterweight 14 is used to adjust the center of gravity of the test platform to ensure that it does not tip over during operation.

[0049] Specifically, the digging resistance experienced by the bucket during operation is obtained using a four-pin sensor system. The specific calculation process involves considering the digging resistance F, the bucket's own weight G, and the reaction forces F1 and F2 from the two pins during operation. Figure 5As shown. The direction of the line connecting the centers of the two pin holes on the same side of the bucket is defined as the x-direction, and the y-direction is perpendicular to the x-direction. Since the force on the bucket along the pin axis usually comes from the pressure of the material on both sides of the bucket, and these pressures can largely cancel each other out, resulting in a smaller total force on the bucket in this direction, the force on the bucket along the pin axis is not considered here. According to the principle of force balance, the force balance equation for bucket 3 is:

[0050]

[0051] In the formula F 1x F represents the total force in the x-direction acting on the pin at point K. 1y F represents the total force in the y-direction acting on the pin at point K. 2x F represents the total force in the x-direction acting on the pin at point Q. 2y G represents the total force in the y-direction acting on the pin at point Q; x The x-component of the weight G of the bucket 3; G y The y-axis component of the weight G of the bucket 3; F x F is the x-axis component of the digging resistance; y Let be the component of the digging resistance in the y-direction. From this, the magnitude F and direction α of the real-time digging resistance experienced by bucket 3 can be calculated as follows:

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] The angle α3 between the self-weight G of the bucket 3 and the x-direction can be calculated using the real-time position and attitude of the bucket. Specifically, the bucket push rod displacement sensor 6, the boom push rod displacement sensor 9, and the boom push rod displacement sensor 11 transmit the length information l1, l2, and l3 of the bucket electric push rod 5, the boom electric push rod 8, and the boom electric push rod 10 in real time through the displacement sensor signal processing module 13.6, and then to the computer 13.5 via the data acquisition card 13.4. The computer 13.5 calculates α3 using the following mathematical method:

[0059] Wherein K is the total force F 1x x direction of the pin shaft, which is obtained by the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 and the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4 jointly measuring, and the specific process is that the inner hole of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 is attached with strain gauges R x1 , R x2 , R x3 , R x4 on the x direction longitudinal section, R x1 and R x4 are located on the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 transverse section A-A, and R x2 and R x3 are located on the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 transverse section B-B, the horizontal distance between transverse section A-A and transverse section B-B is L, the distance between the x direction force F 1xl of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 and transverse section B-B is l, the initial parameters of the four strain gauges are equal, and they are connected in full bridge mode, and the strain gauge installation mode is as shown in Figure 6 (a)-(b). According to the principle of Wheatstone bridge, the x direction force F 1xl of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 can be obtained:

[0060]

[0061] In the above formula, E is the elastic modulus of the pin shaft material; W p is the bending section modulus of the pin shaft material; K0 is the sensitivity coefficient of the strain gauge; U 1xl0 is the input voltage of the x direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1; U 1xli is the output voltage of the x direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1.

[0062] During operation, the output voltage change of the x direction strain gauge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 will be processed by the pin sensor signal processing module 13.7, transmitted to the computer 13.5 through the data acquisition card 13.4, and the computer 13.5 calculates the real-time force F 1xl of the x direction of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 according to the above formula.

[0063] The right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4 adopts the same strain gauge layout as the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1, and the real-time force F 1xr of the x direction of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4 can be obtained as:

[0064]

[0065] wherein U 1xr0 is the x-direction bridge input voltage to the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4; U 1xri is the x-direction bridge output voltage of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4.

[0066] The total x-direction force Fx at K experienced by the pin can be calculated from the above equation as: 1x

[0067]

[0068] The total y-direction force Fy at K experienced by the pin can be calculated from the above equation as: 1y The measurements are obtained from the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 and the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4, in particular, the inner hole of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 is attached with strain gauges R y1 , R y2 , R y3 , R y4 , R y1 and R y4 are located on the cross section C-C of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1, and R y2 and R y3 are located on the cross section D-D of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1, the horizontal distance between the cross section C-C and the cross section D-D is the same as the horizontal distance between the cross section A-A and the cross section B-B, which is L, the same measurement and calculation method as F 1xl is used to calculate the real-time y-direction force F 1yl of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1 and the real-time y-direction force F 1yr of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4, then the y-direction force F 1yl of the bucket 3 and the bucket connecting rod 16 at the hinge is obtained by adding F 1yr and F 1y :

[0069]

[0070] wherein U 1yl0 is the y-direction bridge input voltage to the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1; U 1yli is the y-direction bridge output voltage of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.1; U 1yr0 is the y-direction bridge input voltage to the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4; U 1yri is the y-direction bridge output voltage of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.4.

[0071] ​Where F is the total force in the x direction on the pin at Q 2x and F is the total force in the y direction on the pin at Q 2y The same measurement and calculation method is used to obtain the real-time forces F 1x and F 1y : 2x and F 2y :

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] Where U 2xl0 is the input voltage of the x direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.2; U 2xli is the output voltage of the x direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.2; U 2xr0 is the input voltage of the x direction bridge of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.3; U 2xri is the output voltage of the x direction bridge of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.3; U 2yl0 is the input voltage of the y direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.2; U 2yli is the output voltage of the y direction bridge of the left bucket arm pin sensor 15.2; U 2yr0 is the input voltage of the y direction bridge of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.3; U 2yri is the output voltage of the y direction bridge of the right bucket arm pin sensor 15.3.

[0075] After obtaining all the real-time information of the forces and angles, the real-time digging resistance F of the bucket can be calculated.

[0090]

[0091] In the formula F 1x The force F measured by force sensor R119.1 23x Let M be the resultant force measured by force sensors R219.2 and R319.3, and let a1 be the vertical distance between the measuring points of force sensors R119.1 and R219.2. y To translate the shovel resistance to the x-axis measuring plane, its y-axis component F y The equivalent torque.
