Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

[0058] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "setting," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0059] Specifically, the present invention provides a hydraulic system for a press pump control system, which includes a hydraulic valve block, a power module, a safety relief module, a replenishment module, a pressure and temperature detection module, a flow asymmetry compensation module, an actuator, and a control system. The power module, the safety relief module, the replenishment module, the pressure and temperature detection module, the flow asymmetry compensation module, and the actuator are respectively connected to the periphery of the hydraulic valve block.

[0060] The power module includes a servo motor 1 and a variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2. The servo motor 1 is connected to the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 via a coupling. The power module serves as the power source for the system, providing the system with the required pressure and flow.

[0061] The flow asymmetry compensation module includes a first hydraulically controlled check valve 31, a second hydraulically controlled check valve 32, a first check valve 41, and a second check valve 42. These two sets of valves are connected to the oil lines of the hydraulic pump motor and the servo hydraulic cylinder, respectively. Because the rod-side and rodless chambers of the servo hydraulic cylinder have different volumes, the different fluid inflow and outflow during operation can cause insufficient oil supply or suction from the hydraulic pump motor. The hydraulically controlled check valve group and the check valve group work together to compensate for the deficiencies in oil supply and suction of the asymmetric cylinder.

[0062] The safety overflow module includes a first overflow valve 51 and a second overflow valve 52. When the system experiences a pressure overload during normal operation, the first overflow valve 51 and the second overflow valve 52 can stabilize the system pressure within a preset safe range.

[0063] The oil replenishment module is an accumulator 8, which is directly connected to the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2. The oil replenishment module can compensate for external leakage in the system and solve the problem of asymmetrical flow in the pump-controlled asymmetrical servo cylinder.

[0064] The pressure and temperature detection module can detect the system pressure and temperature in real time to ensure the safe operation of the system. The pressure and temperature detection module includes a first pressure sensor 61, a second pressure sensor 62, and a temperature sensor 7. The first pressure sensor 61 and the second pressure sensor 62 are respectively connected to the oil circuit of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 and the servo hydraulic cylinder 9, and the temperature sensor 7 is connected to the oil circuit of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 and the accumulator 8.

[0065] The actuator module includes a servo hydraulic cylinder 9. When the system is in motor mode, the high-pressure oil circuit of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 is the output oil circuit, flowing out of the servo hydraulic cylinder 9, and the low-pressure oil circuit is the input oil circuit, flowing into the servo hydraulic cylinder 9. When the system is in pump mode, the low-pressure oil circuit of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 is the output oil circuit, flowing out of the servo hydraulic cylinder 9, and the high-pressure oil circuit is the input oil circuit, flowing into the servo hydraulic cylinder 9.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the entire wave compensation hydraulic pump control system consists of a servo motor 1, a variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2, a first hydraulically controlled check valve 31, a second hydraulically controlled check valve 32, a first check valve 41, a second check valve 42, a first relief valve 51, a second relief valve 52, a first pressure sensor 61, a second pressure sensor 62, a temperature sensor 7, an accumulator 8, a servo hydraulic cylinder 9, and hydraulic valve blocks for connecting the various components. The variable displacement hydraulic pump motor 2 starts working under the drive of the servo motor 1. Hydraulic oil directly enters the rodless chamber of the servo hydraulic cylinder 9 through the channels in the hydraulic valve block, driving the servo cylinder 9 to extend. When the system generates abnormally high pressure and requires an overflow module, the relief valve 5 opens, and the high-pressure oil in the rodless chamber flows away through the relief valve 5.

[0067] The control system can be functionally divided into three equivalent parts: logic control, output force closed-loop control, and system alarm control. It can transmit output force commands and force signal feedback between the host computer and the controller via bus or hardware cable signals, and monitor system alarms and other fault information in real time to ensure stable system operation and reliable signal transmission. The controller can implement system logic control and high-performance force closed-loop control, and transmit control signals to the servo driver via bus or analog signals to achieve fast and stable operation of the servo motor.

[0068] In the specific operation process, the control system divides the working conditions into four quadrants based on whether the resultant external force and the direction of movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod are the same or different. The four quadrant working conditions are the first quadrant working condition, the second quadrant working condition, the third quadrant working condition and the fourth quadrant working condition.

[0069] When the hydraulic cylinder piston rod extends upward, there are first-quadrant and fourth-quadrant operating conditions. When the direction of the net external force is the same as the direction of movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, that is, both are upward, it is the first-quadrant operating condition. At this time, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in motor operating condition, and the system charges the common DC bus. When the direction is different from the direction of movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, that is, the net external force is downward, it is the fourth-quadrant operating condition. At this time, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in pump operating condition, and the power grid and the common DC bus discharge to the system.

[0070] When the hydraulic cylinder piston rod retracts downwards, there are two operating conditions: the second quadrant and the third quadrant. When the resultant external force and the direction of movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod are the same, i.e., both downwards, it is the third quadrant. At this time, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in motor mode, the system charges the common DC bus, and the system is in generator mode. When the direction is different from the direction of movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod, i.e., the resultant external force is upwards, it is the second quadrant. At this time, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in pump mode, the power grid and the common DC bus discharge to the system, and the system is in motor mode.

[0071] During operation, the control system detects the system's operating status. If it is in generator mode, an energy management strategy is adopted; if it is in motor mode, a high-performance control strategy is adopted, and speed closed-loop or displacement closed-loop control is performed according to the actual situation.

[0072] Then, the position and speed of the hydraulic cylinder are collected in real time, and the difference between the position and speed of the hydraulic cylinder and the predetermined position and speed of the active wave compensation command are calculated. If the difference is within a threshold, it is determined that the control strategy has achieved control accuracy, and the position and speed of the hydraulic cylinder are maintained; if the difference is outside the threshold, it is determined that the control strategy has not achieved control accuracy, and the position and speed of the hydraulic cylinder are adjusted until the control strategy achieves control accuracy. A schematic diagram of the energy control block diagram of the wave compensation hydraulic pump control system of the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. In practical applications, the value of this threshold can be set according to the required control precision, as long as it meets the required control precision.

[0073] Another aspect of the present invention provides a pump control method based on the above-described pump control system, the steps of which are as follows:

[0074] S1. When the system is turned on, a control command is given, and the pressure and temperature detection module monitors whether the system pressure and temperature are normal. If the high pressure chamber pressure is too high, the low pressure chamber pressure is too low, the system oil temperature is too high or the system oil temperature is too low, the system calls the motor open-loop control subroutine, and the motor is in standby mode.

[0075] S2. The control system is divided into four quadrant working conditions according to the different directions of the resultant external force and the movement of the hydraulic cylinder piston rod. The four quadrant working conditions are the first quadrant working condition, the second quadrant working condition, the third quadrant working condition and the fourth quadrant working condition. In the first quadrant working condition and the third quadrant working condition, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in motor working condition and the servo motor is in generator working condition. In the second quadrant working condition and the fourth quadrant working condition, the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is in pump working condition and the servo motor is in motor working condition.

[0076] S3. When the pressure and temperature detection module reports that the system pressure and temperature are normal, the system control is ready. An active wave compensation control command is given, and the system's working status is detected. If it is in generator status, an energy management strategy is adopted; if it is in motor status, a high-performance control strategy is adopted. Speed ​​closed-loop and displacement closed-loop control are performed according to different working states.

[0077] To simultaneously achieve displacement control and energy recovery, it is difficult to achieve both objectives with only adjustable speed as an input. Therefore, a displacement closed-loop control is further implemented. The displacement closed-loop control controls the pump outlet flow by adjusting the pump's displacement. The pump outlet flow is related to both speed and displacement. Thus, by adjusting the overall control strategy, the speed loop and displacement loop can work simultaneously to achieve the best control effect for displacement, speed, and energy recovery.

[0078] The specific determination method is as follows: calculate the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump and the current efficiency of the servo motor using the following formulas respectively:

[0079]

[0080] Where, η P η represents the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump. M η represents the current efficiency of the servo motor. AP For the high-efficiency range of the hydraulic pump, η AM For the high-efficiency zone efficiency of the servo motor, f(η) P f(η) is a function of the hydraulic pump efficiency and pressure / flow rate. M ) is a function relating servo motor efficiency to speed and torque.

[0081] The difference between the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump and its high-efficiency zone efficiency, and between the current efficiency of the servo motor and its high-efficiency zone efficiency, are calculated separately. If the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump is less than its high-efficiency zone efficiency but the current efficiency of the servo motor is greater than or equal to its high-efficiency zone efficiency, then displacement closed-loop control is adopted. If the current efficiency of the servo motor is less than its high-efficiency zone efficiency but the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump is greater than or equal to its high-efficiency zone efficiency, then speed closed-loop control is adopted. If the current efficiency of the hydraulic pump is less than its high-efficiency zone efficiency and the current efficiency of the servo motor is less than or equal to its high-efficiency zone efficiency, then both speed closed-loop control and displacement closed-loop control are adopted simultaneously.

[0082] When a system malfunctions, the control system sends an alarm to the host computer and quickly unloads the pressure, closing the intake valve.

[0083] Preferably, the speed closed-loop control adjusts the speed of the servo motor according to the S-shaped speed curve of the servo motor;

[0084] The S-curve speed curve of the motor has the following functional relationship:

[0085]

[0086] In the formula, V current V is the current speed. start Let V be the initial velocity. target The target speed is T, flexible is the curve stretching, and t is the speed adjustment time. max This refers to the time span for speed adjustment.

[0087] Preferably, the displacement closed-loop control specifically includes the following sub-steps:

[0088] a. Calculate the piston stroke S of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor. p (α):

[0089]

[0090] b. Calculate the displacement D of the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor. p (α):

[0091]

[0092] Where α is the swashplate angle of the variable displacement pump, in rad; β is the tilt angle between the variable displacement hydraulic pump motor piston and the swashplate when the swashplate is at zero, in rad; A p The area per unit angle of the piston in a variable displacement hydraulic pump motor is expressed in meters (m²). 2 / rad;

[0093] c. Calculate the transfer function G for displacement closed-loop control. PID (s):

[0094]

[0095] In the formula K ap K ai K ad These are the proportional, integral, and derivative coefficients of the amplifier displacement closed-loop controller, respectively.

[0096] S4. Real-time acquisition of cylinder position and speed, and difference between cylinder position and speed and predetermined position and speed of active wave compensation command. If the difference is within the threshold, the control strategy is determined to have achieved control accuracy, and the cylinder position and speed are maintained. If the difference is within the threshold, the control strategy is determined to have not achieved control accuracy, and the cylinder position and speed are adjusted until the control strategy achieves control accuracy.

[0097] The structure and working principle of the present invention will be further explained below with reference to embodiments:

[0098] A functional block diagram of the wave-compensated hydraulic pump control system of the present invention is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a wave-compensated hydraulic pump control system comprising a power module 10, a flow asymmetry compensation module 11, a safety overflow module 12, a pressure and temperature detection module 13, an oil replenishment module 14, and an actuator module 15. These modules cooperate with each other to achieve high-precision output force control. The functions of each module are described in detail below.

[0099] The power module 10 serves as the system's power source, providing the necessary pressure and flow. The flow asymmetry compensation module 11 addresses the difference in oil discharge and suction flow caused by cylinder asymmetry, ensuring more stable operation of the hydraulic cylinder. The safety relief module 12 stabilizes the system pressure within a safe range when abnormally high pressure occurs during normal system operation. The pressure and temperature detection module 13 ensures safe system operation by real-time monitoring of system pressure and temperature. The oil replenishment module 14 serves two purposes: compensating for external leakage and working with the flow asymmetry compensation module 11 to resolve the flow asymmetry problem of the pump-controlled asymmetric servo cylinder. The actuator module 15 executes the extension and retraction of the servo hydraulic cylinder.

[0100] The logic control flowchart of the wave compensation pump control system of the present invention is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. A detailed explanation follows:

[0101] The control logic of the wave compensation pump control system is as follows: After the system starts up, an active wave compensation control command is given, and the working status of the system is detected. If it is in generator status, an energy management strategy is adopted; if it is in motor status, a high-performance control strategy is adopted. Based on different strategies, the speed closed loop is achieved, and then the displacement closed loop is achieved. The feedback value of the cylinder position and speed is compared with the active wave compensation command to see if the control accuracy is achieved. If not, the signal is retransmitted to the speed closed loop; if it is achieved, the position is maintained.

[0102] A four-quadrant schematic diagram of the wave-compensated hydraulic pump control system of the present invention is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the details are as follows:

[0103] like Figure 5 As shown, the pump is divided into four operating conditions based on different resultant external forces and velocity directions. Considering the vertical impact of waves on the ship during at-sea replenishment operations, it is assumed that the ship is subjected to an upward accelerating impact. Considering the movement direction of the servo hydraulic cylinder piston rod, when the piston rod extends outward, the velocity is upward. Considering the downward gravity of the external load, the impact force is upward. At this point, by comparing the magnitude of the forces, two possible resultant external force directions are identified. When both the resultant external force and velocity are upward, the system is in the first quadrant operating condition, which is the motor operating condition. The system will charge the common DC bus. When the force is downward and the velocity is upward, the system is in the fourth quadrant, which is the pump condition, and the power grid and common DC bus are discharging. Similarly, when the piston rod in the cylinder retracts inward, there are also two directions of the resultant external force. When the resultant external force is upward and the velocity is downward, the system is in the second quadrant, which is the pump condition, and the power grid and common DC bus are discharging. When both the resultant external force and the velocity are downward, the system is in the third quadrant, which is the motor condition, and the system will charge the common DC bus. By coordinating different charging and discharging conditions with the common DC bus, the system can effectively control energy recovery and efficient output.
