Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering machinery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a method and device for simulating and testing the fuel consumption efficiency of excavators. Background technology:

[0002] Because excavators consume a lot of fuel per unit of operation, reducing fuel consumption without changing operational efficiency is a key research and development focus. Therefore, fuel consumption testing is indispensable in overall machine testing. Generally speaking, fuel consumption testing involves the excavator operator running the excavator for a period of time or a specific number of digging cycles, and calculating fuel consumption based on fuel consumption and working time.

[0003] However, excavator fuel consumption is related to factors such as the type and compaction of the material being excavated, the bucket fill rate, and the bucket's downward angle. Once these conditions change, fuel consumption may vary greatly. Due to the differences between the test site and the actual working site, and the different downward angles of the excavator operator each time, existing fuel efficiency tests are difficult to accurately measure fuel consumption under actual working conditions, and the repeatability of operations with long intervals is not high. Moreover, actual excavation or loading will wear down the bucket and boom, affecting the subsequent sales of the vehicle. Therefore, in the existing technology, the bucket is replaced when conducting fuel consumption tests, and then replaced with a new bucket after the test. However, the boom is generally not replaced, but is re-grinded and repainted after wear, which wastes a lot of time and cannot fully restore it to its original condition. Summary of the Invention:

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a method and device for simulating the fuel consumption efficiency of excavators. It can effectively avoid test errors caused by changes in factors such as operator error, type of material being excavated, compaction, bucket fullness, and bucket downward angle, thereby improving accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The application will be further described below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] As shown in the figure, a simulation test method for oil consumption efficiency of a excavator comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0046] S1: before the test starts, the number of digging cycles is set as n, the maximum number of digging cycles is set as N, and the position information of the gyroscope at the initial position, the digging completion position, the slewing start position, the slewing completion position and the unloading completion position is collected and imported into the vehicle electronic control unit VECU, the vehicle electronic control unit VECU judges the action of the excavator according to the position information, controls the opening and closing of the electric control valve to control the work of the boom cylinder 12, the bucket arm cylinder 11, the bucket cylinder 7 and the slewing motor;

[0047] ​S2: The excavator reaches the initial position, clicks to start, and assigns the digging cycle number n = 0;

[0048] S3: The excavator starts an excavating period action;

[0050] S5: Determine whether the cycle number n is equal to N, if n = N, stop the action, record the oil consumption and cycle number, if n < N, repeat steps S3-S5.

[0051] Example 2:

[0052] An excavator oil consumption efficiency simulation test method, the action of one excavating period includes the following steps:

[0053] S31: After the excavator reaches the initial position, the vehicle electronic control unit VECU sends instructions to the electronic control valve to control the electromagnetic valve to open and close, so that the boom cylinder 12, stick cylinder 11 and bucket cylinder 7 start to act, simulate the digging action, and turn the rotor plate 2 of the damper;

[0054] S32: When reaching the digging completion position, the stick cylinder 11 and the bucket cylinder 7 stop acting, and the boom cylinder 12 continues to extend, at this time the boom 9 starts to lift;

[0055] S33: When reaching the rotation start position, the boom cylinder 12 continues to extend, and the rotation motor works at this time, the excavator starts to rotate;

[0056] S34: When the upper frame rotates 90° to reach the rotation completion position, the boom cylinder 12 and the rotation motor stop acting, and the stick cylinder 11 and the bucket cylinder 7 start to recover, at this time the excavator starts to unload;

[0057] S35: When reaching the unloading completion position, the rotation motor works in reverse, at this time the boom cylinder 12 recovers, the stick cylinder 11 recovers, the bucket cylinder 7 extends, the excavator starts to rotate back, and the boom 9 starts to descend;

[0058] Wherein, the initial position is the position when any rotor plate 2 is parallel to the ground.

[0059] In one excavating period, the damper rotates 90°, in the front interval, the damping is large, simulating the load of the digging process, in the rear interval, the damping is small, and the inertia of the digging force of the bucket can automatically rotate to the initial position of the next rotor plate 2, wherein, According to the actual model selection,

[0060] The gyroscopes include a boom gyro 10 mounted on the boom 9, a bucket gyro 4 mounted on the bucket 3, a stick gyro 6 mounted on the stick 8, and a superstructure center of rotation gyro 15 mounted on the superstructure center of rotation 14.

[0061] As shown in Figures 3-4 , the coordinate system at the superstructure center of rotation gyro 15 is set as Oh (Xh, Yh, Zh), the coordinate system at the boom gyro 10 is set as Ob (Xb, Yb, Zb), the coordinate system at the stick gyro 6 is set as Od (Xd, Yd, Zd), the coordinate system at the bucket gyro 4 is set as Oc (Xc, Yc, Zc), the pitch angle of the gyro at any position is a, the roll angle is β, and the azimuth angle is ξ;

[0062] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 , the initial position is the position when the bucket 3 is placed under the rotor plate 2 of the damper, at which time: the gyroscopes are set to zero, the coordinate systems of the gyroscopes at the four positions are parallel to the world coordinate system, the coordinate system of the superstructure center of rotation gyro 15 is Oh (Xh, Yh, Zh) = Oh0 (Xh0, Yh0, Zh0), the coordinate system of the boom gyro 10 is Ob (Xb, Yb, Zb) = Ob0 (Xb0, Yb0, Zb0), the coordinate system of the stick gyro 6 is Od (Xd, Yd, Zd) = Od0 (Xd0, Yd0, Zd0), the coordinate system of the bucket gyro 4 is Oc (Xc, Yc, Zc) = Oc0 (Xc0, Yc0, Zc0), (αh, βh, ξh) of the superstructure center of rotation gyro 15 is (0°, 0°, 0°), (αb, βb, ξb) of the boom gyro 10 is (0°, 0°, 0°), (αd, βd, ξd) of the stick gyro 6 is (0°, 0°, 0°), and (αc, βc, ξc) of the bucket gyro 4 is (0°, 0°, 0°), and the next step is to start the material digging action;

[0063] As shown in Figure 5 , the material digging completion position is the position when the action of the bucket 3 pushing the rotor plate 2 of the damper under the side is completed. Since from the initial position to the material digging completion position, the stick 8 and the bucket 3 move greatly, the boom 9 moves very little, and the rotation does not move, the position information is mainly determined by observing the action of the stick 8. At this time, the stick 8 swings outward, only the pitch angle changes, and the roll angle and the azimuth angle are basically unchanged. At this time, only the pitch angle is concerned, the pitch angle a d = ∠ Xd0Od0Xd1, and the next step is to start the boom 9 lifting;

[0064] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the start position of the rotation is the position when the excavator is about to start rotating. Since the material digging position is to this position, mainly the boom 9 is lifted, the boom 9 moves greatly, the stick 8 and the bucket 3 move very little, and the rotation does not move, so the position information is mainly determined by observing the movement of the boom 9. At this time, the boom 9 is lifted, and only the pitch angle changes, and the roll angle and the azimuth angle are basically unchanged. At this time, only the pitch angle is concerned, and the pitch angle α' b = ∠Xb0Ob0Xb1. The next step is to start rotating.

[0065] As shown in FIG. 6, the start position of the rotation is the position when the excavator is about to start rotating. Since the material digging position is to this position, mainly the boom 9 is lifted, the boom 9 moves greatly, the stick 8 and the bucket 3 move very little, and the rotation does not move, so the position information is mainly determined by observing the movement of the boom 9. At this time, the boom 9 is lifted, and only the pitch angle changes, and the roll angle and the azimuth angle are basically unchanged. At this time, only the pitch angle is concerned, and the pitch angle α' b = ∠Xb0Ob0Xb1. The next step is to start rotating. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 7, the completion position of the rotation is the position when the excavator rotates 90° and reaches the unloading position. From the start of the rotation to the completion of the rotation, the process is mainly the superstructure rotation, and the boom 9 and the stick 8 move very little. Therefore, the position information is mainly determined by observing the rotation angle, that is, the azimuth angle. At this time, the azimuth angle ξ h = ∠Xh0Oh0Xh1= 90°. The next step is to start unloading.

[0066] Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 8, the completion position of the unloading is from the start of the unloading to the completion of the unloading. Mainly the bucket 3 moves, and the boom 9 and the stick 8 move little. Therefore, the position information is mainly determined by observing the movement of the bucket 3, that is, the roll angle. At this time, the roll angle β c = ∠Xc0Oc0Xc1= 90°. The next step is to start reverse rotation and reach the initial position. The other parts are the same as in Example 1.

[0067] Example 3:

[0068] As shown in FIG. 9, a kind of excavator oil consumption efficiency simulation test device according to the setting of example 1 or example 2, including whole vehicle electronic control unit VECU, damper, boom gyroscope 10, bucket gyroscope 4, stick gyroscope 6, superstructure rotation center gyroscope 15, simulation weight block 5 and oil consumption instrument 13, the whole vehicle electronic control unit VECU is connected with boom gyroscope 10, bucket gyroscope 4, stick gyroscope 6 and superstructure rotation center gyroscope 15 respectively, simulation weight block 5 is installed on stick 8, oil consumption instrument 13 is installed on excavator, and oil consumption instrument 13 is connected with the oil inlet, oil return and fuel tank oil inlet, oil return pipeline of engine respectively. Figure 2 By using the excavator to drive the damper to simulate the material digging process, the simulation weight block 5 simulates the weight of the material, and the pitch angle α, the roll angle β and the azimuth angle ξ of the boom gyroscope 10, the bucket gyroscope 4 and the stick gyroscope 6 fixed on the working device are used to determine the position information of the excavator, so as to monitor the position state of the excavator. The position information of the excavator is transmitted to the whole vehicle electronic control unit VECU, and the whole vehicle electronic control unit VECU controls the opening and closing of the electric control valve, controls the movement of the oil cylinder and the movement of the rotation motor, so as to realize the automatic test of the oil consumption of the excavator.

[0069]

[0070] ​​Specifically, the simulation weight 5 has a through hole on the upper surface and is fixed at the lower end of the dipper arm 8 by a strap, and the weight is selected according to the rated load of the excavator to simulate the weight of the material. According to the test, the fuel consumption in the entire digging and unloading cycle is mainly in the digging and lifting process, and the fuel consumption in the unloading and rotating process accounts for less than 5% of the entire digging cycle. Therefore, the simulation weight 5 does not affect the result whether it is separated or not during the unloading and rotating process after the unloading action is completed. The simulation weight 5 is still fixed at the lower end of the dipper arm 8, which has little effect on the fuel consumption result. Moreover, the fuel consumption test is often a comparative test, that is, two vehicles are tested under the same conditions, which makes the effect of whether the simulation weight 5 is separated or not on the result negligible.

[0071] Embodiment 4:

[0072] An excavator fuel consumption efficiency simulation test device, the damper comprises a fixed base 1 and a rotor, the rotor is installed on the fixed base 1, the rotor comprises four rotor plates 2, each rotor plate 2 is spaced 90° and can rotate around the middle shaft, when working, the excavator drives the rotor plate 2 to rotate, and the rotor plate 2 rotates 90° every time a bucket is dug. The other parts are the same as embodiment 3.
