Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of engineering machinery technology, specifically a distributed electric drive unmanned loader and its torque control method. Background Technology
[0002] As a widely used earthmoving machine, wheel loaders are extensively used for earth and rock transportation and some light digging work. However, because loaders typically operate in harsh conditions, driving a traditional loader presents a significant challenge to the operator's skill level, and the dusty environment at earthmoving sites can also have a major impact on the operator's health. Furthermore, traditional loaders use diesel engines, which have low efficiency and generate significant energy consumption. Therefore, the development of electric loaders is of paramount importance.
[0003] Currently, distributed drive is widely used in the passenger vehicle field. Distributed electric drive vehicles have the characteristics of high control flexibility, short transmission chain, compact structure, high transmission efficiency, and high space utilization. Their unique structural features and drive method bring about significant technological innovations in fully exploring the potential of vehicle dynamics control, enhancing vehicle safety, improving drive efficiency, and simplifying chassis structure, providing a hardware carrier for high-performance vehicle control technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a distributed electric drive unmanned loader and its torque control method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A torque control method for a distributed electric drive loader, based on a distributed electric drive unmanned loader, includes the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: The central control module issues control commands to the vehicle via the remote control module. The central control module then distributes the initial torque required by the control commands evenly to the front frame electric drive module and the rear frame electric drive module.
[0008] Step 2: The vehicle status monitoring module acquires real-time status information of the vehicle and its surroundings, and feeds the acquired information back to the central control module;
[0009] Step 3: Estimate the vehicle's status based on the status information obtained from the vehicle body status monitoring module and identify the vehicle's real-time operating scenario;
[0010] Step 4: Calculate the total torque required by the vehicle based on the pre-built loader model;
[0011] Step 5: Match different torque control strategies for the typical working conditions of the loader, and calculate the torque distribution coefficients of the front and rear axle motors based on the optimization function;
[0012] Step 6: Combining the calculated total required torque with the torque distribution coefficients of the front and rear axle motors, the central control module transmits control commands to the front frame electric drive module and the rear frame electric drive module respectively, and then transmits the commands to the drive motors to complete the torque control task; if the operator does not issue a stop command, the control program steps 2-6 are repeated; if a stop command is issued, the control program ends.
[0013] When a loader performs a digging task, its torque control method specifically includes the following steps:
[0014] The vehicle condition monitoring module acquires the depth information and real-time image information of the target being shoveled and transmits it to the central control module;
[0015] The central control module determines the distance between the loader and the material pile based on the acquired environmental depth information, and determines whether to enter the loading stage.
[0016] The central control module extracts features from the acquired image information and depth information to identify the type of shoveled object, particle size, and three-dimensional information of the material pile.
[0017] The obtained material type, particle size, three-dimensional information of the stockpile, and real-time vehicle speed are used as inputs to the trained model to obtain the initial torque required before loading.
[0018] The initial torque required for the working device to insert into the material pile is calculated based on the data matching between the vehicle mathematical model and the central control module, and the front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is calculated with the goal of optimal power performance.
[0019] During the process of the bucket inserting into the material pile, when the slip ratio fed back to the central control module reaches a certain value, a flipping command is issued to the boom and bucket electric cylinder in the working device electric drive module to break the material compaction core formed at the bucket tip. During the bucket flipping process, the pressure value of the boom and bucket electric cylinder is obtained, and the required torque is obtained according to the loader dynamics model, kinematic model and tire force model and distributed to the front frame electric drive module and the rear frame electric drive module to drive the bucket to continue inserting into the material pile.

[0069] In this embodiment, the remote control includes an instruction unit and a video display unit.
[0070] The video display unit receives images of the vehicle's surroundings and materials captured by the camera, allowing the operator to monitor the work site in real time.
