[0002] Heavy-duty articulated transport vehicles for mining are one of the underground mobile transport equipment. With the continuous promotion of new energy technologies, heavy-duty transport vehicles that rely on motors as driving technology have been continuously developed.

[0003] Many new energy vehicles use a single motor plus front and rear axle drive technology or distributed four-wheel side drive technology. When a single motor is used as the drive system, the motor has high power and occupies a large size. At the same time, the heat generated by the high-power motor brings new problems to heat dissipation. When using distributed four-wheel side drive, the motors are dispersed around the tires. The driving power of a single motor is small, but the deviation of the synchronous control and differential strategy leads to excessive parasitic power, which puts high requirements on the synchronous control and differential control between different motors.

[0004] At present, in terms of vehicle control, pressure sensors are often used to judge the no-load, light-load and heavy-load conditions, and then the given torque is determined according to the load conditions. Therefore, how to judge the load condition of the vehicle without using pressure sensors, and how to adopt different control strategies for different load conditions are problems that need to be solved urgently.

[0067] Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a control method for a heavy-duty front and rear four-motor four-wheel drive articulated vehicle for mining, the vehicle comprising: the vehicle comprising: a front frame 4 and a rear frame 9, the front frame 4 and the rear frame 9 are articulated through a slewing bearing 6, and are also connected through a right steering cylinder 7-1 and a left steering cylinder 7-2, the front wheel 1 arranged on the front frame 4 is driven by a front drive main motor 5-1 and a front drive slave motor 5-2, and the rear wheel 12 arranged on the rear frame 9 is driven by a rear drive main motor 8-1 and a rear drive slave motor 8-2. The motor parameters of the front drive main motor, the slave motor and the rear drive main motor and the slave motor are consistent.

[0068] The rear drive main motor 8-1 and the rear drive slave motor 8-2 drive the rear wheel 12 through the rear wheel reducer 10 and the rear wheel differential 11. The front drive main motor 5-1 and the front drive slave motor 5-2 drive the front wheel 1 through the front wheel reducer 3 and the front wheel differential 2. The cylinder barrels of the right steering cylinder 7-1 and the left steering cylinder 7-2 are fixed to the rear frame, and the pistons are fixed to the front frame; the outer ring of the slewing bearing 6 is fixed to the front frame, and the inner ring is fixed to the rear frame. When the vehicle turns, the front and rear frames are driven around the slewing bearing by the extension and contraction of the two steering cylinder pistons. When the vehicle is moving straight or turning, the extended length of the steering cylinder piston remains at a certain position.

[0069] The control method of this embodiment includes a steering control method and a walking control method, and the steering control method comprises the following steps:

[0070] S101, receiving given steering angle information;

[0071] S102, calculating the required extension of the right steering cylinder 7-1 and the left steering cylinder 7-2 according to a given steering angle;

[0072] S103, driving the corresponding oil cylinder to extend or retract until the extension reaches the requirement.

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] In step S103, the hydraulic circuit of the oil cylinder is controlled by a manual pilot valve to drive the oil cylinder to extend or retract.

[0077] In addition, in step S103, a steering angle threshold δ is set, and when the following conditions are met, it is considered that the steering requirement is met:

[0080] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it is detected whether the test data of the left oil cylinder piston displacement sensor is normal. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, if the test data of the left cylinder piston displacement sensor is normal, the left cylinder piston extension position L is measured by the left cylinder piston displacement sensor to see whether it meets the target requirement. Set the cylinder steering threshold δ%, when If the steering does not meet the requirements, The left steering cylinder is extended and the right steering cylinder is retracted by the manual pilot valve.

If the test data of the right cylinder piston displacement sensor is normal, measure whether the right cylinder piston extension position L' meets the target requirement through the right cylinder piston displacement sensor. Set the cylinder steering threshold δ%, when If the steering does not meet the requirements, The manual pilot valve is used to control the left steering cylinder piston to retract and the right steering cylinder piston to extend. The left steering cylinder piston is extended and the right steering cylinder piston is retracted through the electromagnetic pilot valve.

[0082] Furthermore, if the test data of the right cylinder piston displacement sensor is abnormal and a fault is reported, the vehicle cannot be used.

[0083] The walking control method comprises the following steps:

[0084] S200, establish a motor speed torque database table, determine the motor constant torque working area and constant power working area, determine the rated speed n N , maximum speed n max , rated torque T n and maximum torque T max .

[0085] S201, receiving accelerator pedal opening information;

[0086] S202, determining a given vehicle speed and a given rotational speed of the front drive main motor and the rear drive main motor according to the accelerator pedal opening; determining an upper limit of the rotational speed of the front drive main motor and the front drive slave motor, and an upper limit of the rotational speed of the rear drive main motor and the rear drive slave motor according to the given rotational speed of the front drive main motor and the rear drive main motor.

[0087] In step S202, the calculation formula for the given rotation speed of the front driving main motor and the rear driving main motor is:

[0088] n motor_demand1 = n max1 ×A acc ; (1)

[0089] n motor_demand2 = n max2 ×A acc ; (2)

[0090] Among them, n motor_demand1 and n motor_demand2 Respectively represent the given speed of the front drive main motor and the rear drive main motor, A acc is the pedal opening, n max1 and n max2 They respectively represent the maximum given speeds of the front drive main motor and the rear drive main motor.

[0094] In step S203, the calculation formula of the power coefficient of the rear drive master and slave motors is:

[0095]

[0096] Among them, U 8-1 ,I 8-1 is the input voltage and current of the rear wheel main motor driver, U 8-2 ,I 8-2 is the input voltage and current of the rear wheel motor driver, P n Indicates the rated power of the rear drive master and slave motors.

[0097] S204: judging the vehicle state according to the power coefficients of the rear drive master and slave motors, and determining the initial given torque of each motor according to the vehicle state.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, in step S204, the specific method for judging the vehicle state according to the power coefficient of the rear drive master and slave motors is:

[0099] If the power factor of the rear drive master and slave motors is less than the no-load factor, it is no-load;

[0100] If the power factor of the rear drive master and slave motors is greater than or equal to the no-load factor and less than the light-load factor, it is light-loaded;

[0101] If the power factor of the rear drive master and slave motors is greater than or equal to the light load factor, it is considered heavy load.

[0102] Specifically, the no-load factor is K p1 =0.5, the light load factor is K p2 =0.75.

[0103] Specifically, the specific method for determining the initial given torque of each motor according to the vehicle state is:

[0104] If it is unloaded, the front wheel main motor and the front wheel slave motor will not participate in the control; the rear drive main motor and the rear drive slave motor are both controlled in the torque closed-loop mode, and the initial given torque of the rear drive main motor is the rated torque T n , the rear drive starts from the motor with a constant initial torque of -10%T n ;like Figure 5 shown.

[0105] If the load is light, the rear drive main motor and the rear drive slave motor are both controlled in a torque closed-loop mode, and their initial given torque is determined according to the accelerator pedal opening and the corresponding torque curve; the front drive main motor and the front drive slave motor are both controlled in a torque closed-loop mode, and their initial given torque is determined according to the accelerator pedal opening and the corresponding torque curve.

[0106] like Figure 6 As shown, this is the motor torque control diagram when lightly loaded; when lightly loaded, the rear drive main motor and the front drive main motor are given torque through the first throttle torque curve, and the rear drive slave motor and the front drive slave motor are given torque through the second throttle torque curve.

[0107] When the accelerator pedal opening is less than the accelerator pedal opening threshold k, the rear wheel main motor is given a constant torque T n , the rear wheel is given a constant counter torque from the motor -10% × T n When the pedal opening exceeds k and reaches 100%, the rear wheel main motor gradually increases along the straight line B2D to the maximum motor torque T maxThe rear wheel torque increases gradually from the motor torque given by the motor to the maximum torque T according to curve A2CD. max The curve A2CD consists of two segments, one is the arc A2C and the other is the straight line CD. A2C is centered at A' and 0.1T n An arc with radius tangent to straight lines A1A2 and CD.

[0108] When the accelerator pedal opening is less than the accelerator pedal opening threshold k, the front wheel main motor is given a constant torque T n , the front wheel is given a constant counter torque from the motor -10% × T n When the pedal opening exceeds k and reaches 100%, the front wheel main motor gradually increases along the straight line B2D to the maximum motor torque T max The front wheel torque increases gradually from the motor torque given by the motor according to curve A2CD to the maximum torque T of the motor. max The curve A2CD consists of two segments, one is the arc A2C and the other is the straight line CD. A2C is centered at A' and 0.1T n An arc with radius tangent to straight lines A1A2 and CD.

[0109] That is, in step S204, the torque curves corresponding to the rear drive main motor and the front drive main motor are:

[0110] B1=T n , A acc <k;

[0111] B1=T n +(T max -T n )(A acc -k) / (100-k), A acc ≥k;

[0112] The torque curves corresponding to the front drive slave motor and the front drive slave motor are:

[0113] A1=-0.1T n , A acc <k;

[0114] A1=-0.1T n +[(0.1T n ) 2 -(A acc -k) 2 ] 0.5 , k≤A acc <c;

[0115] A1=-0.1T n +[(0.1T n ) 2 -(ck)2 ] 0.5 +(T max -[(0.1T n ) 2 -(Ck) 2 ] 0.5 )(A acc -c) / (100-c), c≤A acc <100;

[0116] Among them, B1 represents the torque value corresponding to the rear drive main motor and the front drive main motor, T n Indicates rated torque, T max Indicates the maximum torque, A acc represents the accelerator pedal opening, k represents the accelerator pedal opening threshold, A1 represents the torque value corresponding to the front drive slave motor and the front drive slave motor, and an arc is drawn with A'(k, 0) as the center and 0.1Tn as the radius, passing through D(100, T max ) The horizontal coordinate of the intersection point C of the arc with the tangent of the arc is c.

[0117] If the load is heavy, the front drive main motor, front drive slave motor, rear drive main motor and rear drive slave motor are all controlled in torque closed loop mode, and the speed is less than the rated speed n n , that is, the speed of the rear wheel master and slave motors are limited to the low speed working area 0-n n ; The speed of the front wheel master and slave motors are limited to the low speed working area 0-n n ; The maximum motor torque T in the speed torque database max As the initial given torque of each motor, such as Figure 7 shown.

[0118] In the torque closed-loop mode, the real-time given torque of the motor is adjusted by the torque adjustment coefficient.

[0119] In step S204, the calculation formula of the torque adjustment coefficient is:

[0120]

[0121] Among them, Km represents the torque adjustment coefficient, I represents the actual output current of the motor, and I n Indicates the rated current of the motor;

[0122] In the torque closed-loop mode, the real-time given torque of the motor is adjusted by the torque adjustment coefficient. The specific method is: the product of the motor torque adjustment coefficient and the initial given torque is used as the motor given torque to adjust the motor torque. Figure 8 As shown, this is a curve diagram of the motor's given torque adjustment coefficient.

[0123] In summary, the present invention provides a control method for a heavy-duty mining articulated vehicle with four front and rear motors and four-wheel drive, which can solve the shortcomings of large motor size and high power when a heavy-duty vehicle is driven by a single motor. The dispersed arrangement of four motors facilitates the power distribution and heat dissipation of the motor, and is more convenient for synchronous control and has higher reliability than wheel-side direct drive motors. In addition, the present invention determines the load condition of the whole vehicle by the power coefficient of the rear-drive master and slave motors, determines the initial given torque of the four motors according to the given motor speed, combined with the speed torque database and the load condition; adjusts the given torque by the torque adjustment coefficient, so that the vehicle has strong controllability and stronger endurance.
