[0062] Explanation of Reference Signs

[0063] 1 pump truck 2 first support leg

[0064] 3 second support leg DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0065] The specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0066] In the present disclosure, the orientation words such as "front, rear" are generally defined according to the direction of the pump truck in the normal driving state, with the front direction as the front and the rear direction as the rear, unless otherwise stated. The terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish one element from another element, without specific order and importance. In addition, when the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated.

[0067] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a control method for a pump truck when distributing material, provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for a pump truck when distributing material, the pump truck can have a plurality of support legs, and the method can include steps S11 to S13.

[0068] In step S11, the working state of the support leg on the pump truck is detected, wherein the working state of the support leg can include the unfolded state of the support leg and the supporting state of the support leg.

[0069] It can be understood that, in order to facilitate the travel of the pump truck, the support leg of the pump truck can be in a folded state when the pump truck is not distributing material, and the corresponding support leg can be controlled to be unfolded when the pump truck needs to distribute material. Therefore, by detecting the unfolded state of the support leg, it can be determined whether the support leg is successfully unfolded.

[0070] When the truck is in the process of distributing materials, the outriggers need to provide stable support. Therefore, by detecting the support state of the outriggers, it can be determined whether the outriggers that need to be supported are ready.

[0071] In step S12, when it is determined that the truck starts to distribute materials, the current distribution mode of the truck is determined according to the working state of all the outriggers at present.

[0072] For example, the distribution mode of the truck can include a full distribution mode, a front distribution mode, a left distribution mode and a right distribution mode.

[0073] In the full distribution mode, the truck can distribute materials in any direction around; in the front distribution mode, the truck can distribute materials to its front side; in the left distribution mode, the truck can distribute materials to its front side; in the right distribution mode, the truck can distribute materials to its right side.

[0074] It can be understood that when the truck is distributing materials, the outriggers need to provide support in the direction of distribution to make the truck stable. Therefore, the working state of the outriggers required by different distribution modes is different.

[0075] Therefore, according to the working state of all the outriggers at present, the current distribution mode of the truck can be determined. In this way, the influence of human factors can be reduced, and the current distribution mode of the truck can be accurately determined.

[0076] In step S13, the truck is controlled to distribute materials according to the current distribution mode.

[0077] Controlling the truck to distribute materials according to the current distribution mode can reduce the situation that the truck overturns as a whole due to the rotation of the boom of the truck exceeding the support range of the outriggers, and improve the safety of the truck operation.

[0078] Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a truck when distributing materials provided by an example embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of a truck when distributing materials provided by another example embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a truck when distributing materials provided by another example embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a truck when distributing materials provided by still another example embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0079] Referring to Figures 2 to 5 The truck 1 can be provided with a first outrigger 2 and a second outrigger 3 respectively, for example, the first outrigger 2 can be two, and the two first outriggers 2 are arranged on the left and right sides of the front part of the truck 1, and the second outrigger 3 can be two and arranged on the left and right sides of the rear part of the truck 1.

[0080] The first leg 2 is, for example, extendable. For example, the first leg 2 can include a connecting rod arranged on the pump truck 1, and an extension rod in sliding connection with the connecting rod, the extension rod being slidable relative to the connecting rod to achieve extension of the first leg 2. Of course, the above is only one possible implementation of the first leg 2, as extendable legs are prior art, which will not be listed one by one here.

[0081] The second leg 3 is, for example, rotatably connected to the pump truck 1, and the second leg 3 can be rotated relative to the pump truck 1 to achieve deployment of the second leg 3. As the leg rotating relative to the vehicle is also prior art, which will not be described here.

[0082] In this way, when detecting the working state of the first leg 2, for example, the deployment state of the first leg 2 can be determined by detecting the extension amount of the first leg 2. Specifically, the extension amount of the first leg 2 can be detected, and if the extension amount of the first leg 2 exceeds a preset length threshold, it can be determined that the first leg 2 is deployed.

[0083] For example, the extension amount of the first leg 2 can be detected by a pull wire sensor or a laser sensor, and when the detected extension amount of the first leg 2 exceeds the preset length threshold, it can be determined that the first leg 2 is deployed. Alternatively, a proximity switch or a limit switch can also be provided at a position corresponding to the preset length threshold (for example, can be arranged on the extension rod and the connecting rod, respectively), and if the proximity switch or the limit switch is activated during the extension of the first leg 2, it can be determined that the extension amount of the first leg 2 exceeds the preset length threshold. For another example, a real-time image of the first leg 2 can also be obtained at a preset position, at which time a comparison image of the first leg 2 when the first leg 2 is extended by the preset length threshold can be stored in advance. After obtaining the real-time image of the first leg 2, the first leg 2 in the real-time image can be compared with the first leg 2 in the comparison image, so that it can be determined whether the extension amount of the first leg 2 exceeds the preset length threshold.

[0084] For example, a pressure sensor can be arranged on the first support leg, and by detecting the pressure value of the pressure sensor, the support state of the first support leg can be determined.

[0085] In detecting the working state of the second support leg, for example, the rotation angle of the second leg 3 relative to the pump truck 1 can be detected, and if the rotation angle of the second leg 3 exceeds a preset angle threshold, it can be determined that the second leg 3 is deployed.

[0086] The rotation angle of the second leg 3 can be detected directly, for example, by using an encoder. When the rotation angle exceeds a preset threshold, the second leg 3 is confirmed to have deployed. Alternatively, the rotation angle can be detected indirectly. For instance, the pump truck 1 can be equipped with a swing cylinder that drives the second leg 3 to rotate, and the movable end of the swing cylinder can be connected to the second leg 3. By detecting the extension of the swing cylinder, the rotation angle of the second leg 3 can be determined.

[0087] For example, proximity switches can be installed on the pump truck 1 and the second leg 3 respectively. When the rotation angle of the second leg 3 exceeds a preset angle threshold, the proximity switch is activated, thus realizing the detection of the deployed state of the second leg 3.

[0088] For example, a pressure sensor can be installed on the second support leg. By detecting the pressure value of the pressure sensor, the support status of the second support leg can be determined.

[0089] In another possible implementation, the vehicle may be equipped with a different number of outriggers, for example, five outriggers, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0090] In another possible real-time configuration, the vehicle's outriggers can be all first outriggers 2, all second outriggers 3, or a combination thereof, or of course other types of deployable outriggers, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0091] The following is still in the format of Figures 2 to 5 The control method for material distribution using the pump truck shown is described in this disclosure using the pump truck as an example.

[0092] For example, controlling the pump truck to place materials according to the current material placement mode may include: determining the available rotation range of the pump truck's boom according to the current material placement mode; and controlling the boom to rotate within the available rotation range according to the control command used to instruct the boom to rotate.

[0093] It is understandable that the available rotation range corresponds to the current support range of the outriggers. By controlling the boom to rotate within the available rotation range, the risk of the pump truck overturning due to the boom rotating beyond the support range of the outriggers can be reduced, thus improving the safety of pump truck operation.

[0094] For example, refer to Figure 2 In full fabric mode, the boom's usable rotation range is 0-360°; see reference. Figure 3 In front-layout mode, the available rotation range of the boom is: Figure 3 α1 in; reference Figure 4 In left-side fabric mode, the available rotation range of the boom is: Figure 4 α2 in; referenceFigure 5 In the right material distribution mode, the available rotation range of the boom can be Figure 5 α3 in the above formula.

[0095] According to the control instruction for indicating the rotation of the boom, the boom is controlled to rotate within the available rotation range. For example, if the rotation angle indicated by the control instruction is within the available rotation range, the boom can be controlled to rotate according to the control instruction. If the rotation angle indicated by the control instruction exceeds the available rotation range, the boom can not be controlled to rotate in response to the control instruction, so as to reduce the situation that the truck overturns due to the rotation of the boom exceeding the support range of the outriggers.

[0096] For example, the boom can be driven by a hydraulic system. When the rotation angle indicated by the control instruction exceeds the available rotation range, the corresponding valve in the hydraulic circuit can be controlled to stop responding, so as to limit the rotation angle of the boom and prevent the boom from rotating out of the available rotation range.

[0097] For example, the current material distribution mode of the truck can be determined according to the working states of all the outriggers, and a preset corresponding relationship between the working states of all the outriggers and the material distribution modes.

[0098] For example, referring to Figure 2 When the two first outriggers 2 on the front side and the two second outriggers 3 on the rear side are both in the unfolded state and the support state, it can be determined that the current material distribution mode is the full material distribution mode; referring to Figure 3 When the two first outriggers 2 on the front side are both in the unfolded state and the support state, the two second outriggers 3 on the rear side are both not unfolded, and at least one of the two second outriggers 3 is in the support state, it can be determined that the current material distribution mode is the front material distribution mode; referring to Figure 4 When the first outrigger 2 on the left side and the second outrigger 3 on the left side are both in the unfolded state and the support state, the first outrigger 2 on the right side and the second outrigger 3 on the right side are both not unfolded, and at least one of the first outrigger 2 on the right side and the second outrigger 3 on the right side is in the support state, it can be determined that the current material distribution mode is the left material distribution mode; referring to Figure 5 When the first outrigger 2 on the right side and the second outrigger 3 on the right side are both in the unfolded state and the support state, the first outrigger 2 on the left side and the second outrigger 3 on the left side are both not unfolded, and at least one of the first outrigger 2 on the left side and the second outrigger 3 on the left side is in the support state, it can be determined that the current material distribution mode is the right material distribution mode.

[0099] For example, the method can further include: when it is determined that the truck starts to distribute materials, if the working states of all the outriggers do not correspond to a material distribution mode, controlling the prompt device to prompt prompt information corresponding to stopping material distribution.

[0100] For example, when it is determined that the pump truck starts to lay material, all the support legs are not detected to be in position (for example, all the support legs can not be unfolded, or all the support legs can not be in the supporting state), at this time, the support legs cannot provide reliable support for the pump truck, the prompting device can be controlled to prompt the prompting information corresponding to stopping the material laying, so as to improve the safety.

[0101] Alternatively, when it is determined that the pump truck starts to lay material, for example, it is detected that one support leg is unfolded, and the remaining support legs are not unfolded, at this time, even if all the support legs are in the supporting state, there is no material laying mode corresponding to the working state of all the support legs at present, the prompting device can be controlled to prompt the prompting information corresponding to stopping the material laying.

[0102] The prompting device can be an audio playing device, and the prompting information can be audio information correspondingly. Alternatively, the prompting device can be a display device, and the prompting information can be text information correspondingly.

[0103] For example, the method further comprises: if it is detected that the boom of the pump truck is lifted, it is determined that the pump truck starts to lay material.

[0104] For example, a boom falling to position detection unit can be arranged on the pump truck, if it is detected by the boom falling to position detection unit that the boom is lifted, at this time, it can be determined that the pump truck starts to lay material. The boom falling to position detection unit can be a proximity switch.

[0105] In another possible implementation, the pump truck can be determined to start to lay material when a material laying start instruction issued by a user is received. For example, a start button can be arranged on the pump truck, and the user can issue the material laying start instruction through the start button.

[0106] For example, the method further comprises: after the pump truck is controlled to lay material according to the current material laying mode, if the pump truck has not finished laying material, and the working state of all the support legs at present does not correspond to the current material laying mode, the prompting device is controlled to prompt the prompting information corresponding to the change of the working state of all the support legs at present.

[0107] For example, referring to Figure 3 After the pump truck is controlled to lay material according to the previous material laying mode, if the pump truck has not finished laying material, and the working state of the two first support legs 2 at the front side of the pump truck changes (for example, can be in the non-supporting state, or in the non-unfolded state), at this time, the working state of all the support legs at present does not correspond to the current material laying mode, the prompting device can be controlled to prompt the prompting information corresponding to the change of the working state of all the support legs at present, so as to facilitate timely taking measures to prevent danger.

[0108] Alternatively, also with reference to Figure 3For example, as shown in the scenario, after the previous cloth mode control pump truck is clothed, if the pump truck is not finished and the two second supporting legs 3 behind the pump truck are in the supporting state, the pump truck may be unstable at this time, and the prompt device can also be controlled to prompt the prompt information corresponding to the working state change of all the supporting legs at the moment.

[0109] Figure 6 is a block diagram of the control device for the pump truck cloth provided by an example embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 6 The present disclosure also provides a control device 400 for the pump truck cloth, and the pump truck can have a plurality of supporting legs. The device 400 can include:

[0110] The detection module 401 can be configured to detect the working state of the supporting legs, wherein the working state includes the unfolding state of the supporting legs and the supporting state of the supporting legs. The first determination module 402 can be configured to determine the current cloth mode of the pump truck according to the working state of all the supporting legs at the moment when the pump truck starts to be clothed. The control module 403 can be configured to control the pump truck to be clothed according to the current cloth mode.

[0111] In this way, the current cloth mode of the pump truck can be automatically determined, and the pump truck can be controlled according to the current cloth mode, so as to reduce the influence of human factors. By accurately determining the current cloth mode of the pump truck, the situation that the boom of the pump truck is rotated beyond the supporting range of the supporting legs to cause the pump truck to overturn can be reduced.

[0112] Specifically, by detecting the working state of the supporting legs, the current cloth mode of the pump truck can be determined according to the working state of all the supporting legs at the moment when the pump truck starts to be clothed. In this way, the cloth mode of the pump truck can be automatically and accurately determined, and the influence of human factors can be reduced. Subsequently, the pump truck can be controlled to start to be clothed according to the current cloth mode, so as to reduce the situation that the boom of the pump truck is rotated beyond the supporting range of the supporting legs to cause the pump truck to overturn, and improve the safety of the pump truck operation.

[0113] For example, the control module 403 can be specifically configured to determine the available rotation range of the boom of the pump truck according to the current cloth mode, and control the boom to rotate within the available rotation range according to the control instruction for indicating the rotation of the boom.

[0114] For example, the first determination module 402 can be specifically configured to determine the current cloth mode according to the working state of all the supporting legs and the preset corresponding relationship between the working state of all the supporting legs and the cloth mode.

[0115] Exemplarily, the apparatus 400 can further include a first prompting module, which can be configured to, when it is determined that the pump truck starts to lay material, if the working state of all the outriggers does not correspond to the material laying mode, control the prompting apparatus to prompt the prompt information corresponding to stopping laying material.

[0116] Exemplarily, the apparatus 400 can further include a second determining module, which can be configured to, if it is detected that the boom of the pump truck is lifted, determine that the pump truck starts to lay material.

[0117] Exemplarily, the apparatus 400 can further include a second prompting module, which can be configured to, after the control module controls the pump truck to lay material according to the current material laying mode, if the pump truck has not finished laying material and the working state of all the outriggers does not correspond to the current material laying mode, control the prompting apparatus to prompt the prompt information corresponding to the change of the working state of all the outriggers.

[0118] Exemplarily, the outrigger can include an extendable first outrigger, and the detecting module 401 can be configured to detect the unfolded state of the first outrigger by detecting the extension amount of the first outrigger, and determining that the first outrigger is unfolded if the extension amount of the first outrigger exceeds a preset length threshold.

[0119] Exemplarily, the outrigger can include a second outrigger rotatable relative to the pump truck, and the detecting module 401 can be configured to detect the unfolded state of the second outrigger by detecting the rotation angle of the second outrigger relative to the pump truck, and determining that the second outrigger is unfolded if the rotation angle of the second outrigger exceeds a preset angle threshold.

[0120] As to the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manners in which various modules perform operations have been described in detail in the embodiments of the method, and will not be described in detail here.
