Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of agricultural equipment, in particular, relates to a walking control hydraulic system for a silage machine and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of animal husbandry, the concentration of cattle and sheep breeding, the demand and storage capacity of farmers for feed is increasing, and the problem of low efficiency of artificial harvesting and storage of forage is highlighted. After a long time of development of agricultural mechanization, silage machines play an indispensable role in the harvesting, chopping, storage and transportation of forage. And with the rapid improvement of the level of agricultural mechanization in China in recent years, farmers have increasingly high requirements for the automation level of agricultural machinery. Therefore, the practicability and safety of silage machines are particularly important. The existing silage machine walking system generally uses hydrostatic drive. In order to ensure the brake distance, most of them are equipped with mechanical brake devices. There are mainly the following ways in the braking process of such machines: the first way is to output pressure through the foot pedal to frictionally brake the driving mechanism; the second way is the control mode of combined braking of frictional braking and hydrostatic braking.

[0003] In view of the existing braking technology, the following deficiencies exist:

[0004] 1. Mechanical braking and hydrostatic braking exist independently. Whether in deceleration or emergency braking conditions, the braking force is mainly output by stepping on the foot pedal to frictionally brake the moving parts. Frequent mechanical friction accelerates the wear of parts. In the case of emergency braking, the handle is not returned to the neutral position due to some reasons, and the hydraulic system continuously outputs driving force. Simple mechanical braking greatly reduces the safety and reliability of braking.

[0005] 2. Some machines use a combination of mechanical braking and hydrostatic braking, but mainly control the pump and motor variable displacement through the pressure feedback of the foot pedal. When the foot pedal is stepped on for deceleration, the pressure signal controls the pump and motor variable displacement, resulting in the coexistence of frictional braking during hydrostatic braking. This control mode not only accelerates the wear of the friction plate, but also easily confuses the two working conditions of deceleration and emergency braking, reducing the braking accuracy and efficiency of the whole machine.

[0006] 3. The hydrostatic braking force mainly comes from the high pressure and low pressure conversion of the hydraulic motor inlet and outlet, forming a reverse braking force. In the case of high-speed emergency braking of the vehicle, the outlet (low pressure port) of the motor will have a momentary overpressure. Due to the limitation of the flow of the high-pressure overflow valve inside the closed pump and the flow of the oil supplement pump, the high-pressure oil on the braking side cannot be instantly supplemented to the low-pressure side, resulting in a momentary loss of pressure at the motor inlet and a momentary loss of pressure at the outlet of the oil supplement pump. This sudden pressure loss condition easily leads to the failure of hydraulic elements such as variable pumps and variable motors, affecting their service life. SUMMARY

[0012] Preferably, the walking control hydraulic system further comprises a check valve, the output end of the check valve is connected with the output end of the oil supplement pump, and the input end of the check valve is connected with the right front accumulator and the left front accumulator respectively.

[0013] Preferably, the walking control hydraulic system further comprises a third overflow valve, and the third overflow valve is connected with the input end of the check valve in parallel.

[0014] Preferably, the walking control hydraulic system further comprises a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor, the first pressure sensor is connected with the output end of the oil supplement pump and used for detecting the outlet pressure of the oil supplement pump, and the second pressure sensor is connected with the pipeline between the check valve and the right front accumulator and the left front accumulator in parallel and used for detecting the pressure in the right front accumulator and the left front accumulator.

[0015] The application also provides a control method of the walking control hydraulic system for the silage machine.

[0016] The technical scheme adopted by the application is as follows:

[0017] A control method of a walking control hydraulic system of a silage machine, comprising the steps of:

[0018] Obtaining a current pedal depression angle;

[0019] According to the interval in which the actual depression angle is located, the displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled according to the corresponding displacement change slope to output corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force to gradually slow down the vehicle; and only when the actual depression angle reaches a set threshold, corresponding size of friction braking force is generated by the brake calipers to realize emergency braking of the vehicle by driving the foot brake valve to output hydraulic pressure while outputting corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force according to the size of the actual depression angle, wherein the displacement change slope and the hydraulic pressure output by the foot brake valve are positively correlated with the size of the actual depression angle.

[0020] Further, according to the interval in which the actual depression angle is located, the displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled according to the corresponding displacement change slope to output corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force to gradually slow down the vehicle; and only when the actual depression angle reaches a set threshold, corresponding size of friction braking force is generated by the brake calipers to realize emergency braking of the vehicle by driving the foot brake valve to output hydraulic pressure while outputting corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force according to the size of the actual depression angle, wherein the displacement change slope and the hydraulic pressure output by the foot brake valve are positively correlated with the size of the actual depression angle.

[0021] If the current depression angle of the pedal is θ < θ0, the vehicle is in normal driving state by default, at this time the vehicle speed is controlled by the handle, and the control system controls the vehicle speed and the handle current value to match each other in a closed loop;

[0022] If the current depression angle of the pedal is θ0≤θ≤θ1, the control system overrules the handle control, and the displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled according to the first displacement change slope K θX1 The displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled to output corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force to gradually slow down the vehicle;

[0023] If the current depression angle of the pedal is θ1<θ≤θ2, the control system overrules the handle control, and the displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled according to the second displacement change slope K θX2 The displacement of the variable piston pump, the left front variable piston motor, the rear axle variable piston motor and the right front variable piston motor is controlled to output corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force, wherein K θX1 <K θX2 ; at the same time, the foot brake valve outputs hydraulic pressure to the brake calipers to generate corresponding size of friction braking force to realize emergency braking of the vehicle, and the friction braking force is positively correlated with the size of the actual depression angle.

[0024] Further, the first displacement change slope K θX1 and the second displacement change slope K θX2 Specifically:

[0025]

[0026]

[0027] Wherein: θ X1 is the real-time feedback value of the pedal pedal angle in the interval [θ0, θ1], K θX1 is the first displacement change slope required to control the pump and motor displacement change when the pedal pedal angle is θ X1 ; k0 and k1 are respectively the displacement change slopes required to control the pump and motor displacement change when the pedal pedal angle is θ0 and θ1; θ X2 is the real-time feedback value of the pedal pedal angle in the interval (θ1, θ2], K θX2 is the second displacement change slope required to control the pump and motor displacement change when the pedal pedal angle is θ X2 ; k2 is the displacement change slope required to control the pump and motor displacement change when the pedal pedal angle is θ2.

[0028] Further, if the current pedal pedal angle θ0≤θ≤θ1, the control system overrides the handle control, and controls the displacement of the variable plunger pump, left front variable plunger motor, rear axle variable plunger motor, and right front variable plunger motor with the first displacement change slope K θX1 to output corresponding size of static hydraulic braking force to realize gradual speed reduction of the vehicle, specifically including the steps of:

[0029] If the motor current I m =0, each motor is at maximum displacement, and the hydraulic system is in pump speed regulation state, at this time, the variable plunger pump is controlled to reduce the pump displacement with the first displacement change slope K θX1 until the vehicle is reduced to 0;

[0030] If the motor current I m ≠0, the hydraulic system is in pump maximum displacement and motor variable displacement speed regulation state, at this time, each motor is first controlled to increase to maximum displacement with the first displacement change slope K θX1 , and then the variable plunger pump is controlled to reduce the pump displacement with the first displacement change slope K θX1 until the vehicle is reduced to 0.

[0031] Further, if the current pedal pedal angle θ1<θ≤θ2, the control system overrides the handle control, and controls the displacement of the variable plunger pump, left front variable plunger motor, rear axle variable plunger motor, and right front variable plunger motor with the second displacement change slope K θX2Controlling the displacement of the variable plunger pump, the left front variable plunger motor, the rear axle variable plunger motor and the right front variable plunger motor to output corresponding size of hydrostatic braking force to gradually reduce the speed of the vehicle, specifically comprising the steps of:

[0032] If the motor current I m = 0, each motor is at maximum displacement, and the hydraulic system is in pump speed regulation state, at this time, the second displacement change slope K θX2 Controlling the variable plunger pump to reduce the pump displacement until the vehicle is reduced to 0;

[0033] If the motor current I m ≠ 0, the hydraulic system is in pump maximum displacement and motor variable displacement speed regulation state, at this time, the second displacement change slope K θX2 Controlling each motor to increase the displacement and the variable plunger pump to reduce the pump displacement at the same time until the vehicle is reduced to 0;

[0034] Or,

[0035] If the motor current I m ≠ 0, the hydraulic system is in pump maximum displacement and motor variable displacement speed regulation state, at this time, first controlling each motor to increase to maximum displacement at the second displacement change slope K θX2 Then controlling the variable plunger pump to reduce the pump displacement at the second displacement change slope K θX2 Until the vehicle is reduced to 0.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] The application provides a silage machine walking control hydraulic system and a control method thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 the preferred embodiment of the present application provides a walking control hydraulic system for a silo, which comprises a variable plunger pump 1, an oil supplement pump 2, a right front accumulator 8.1, a left front accumulator 8.2, a left front check valve 9.2, a right front check valve 9.1, a left front variable plunger motor 10, a rear axle variable plunger motor 11, and a right front variable plunger motor 12, wherein:

[0051] The variable plunger pump 1, the oil supplement pump 2 and the power output device are drivingly connected, the A port of the variable plunger pump 1 is connected with the A port of the left front variable plunger motor 10, the rear axle variable plunger motor 11 and the right front variable plunger motor 12 respectively, the B port of the variable plunger pump 1 is connected with the B port of the left front variable plunger motor 10, the rear axle variable plunger motor 11 and the right front variable plunger motor 12 respectively; the output end of the oil supplement pump 2 is connected with the A port of the left front variable plunger motor 10 through the left front one-way valve 9.2 and the A port of the right front variable plunger motor 12 through the right front one-way valve 9.1, the left front accumulator 8.2 is connected with the input end of the left front one-way valve 9.2 in parallel, and the right front accumulator 8.1 is connected with the input end of the right front one-way valve 9.1 in parallel.

[0052] Preferably, the silo walking control hydraulic system further comprises a second overflow valve 4 and two first overflow valves 3, the two first overflow valves 3 are connected in series and then connected in parallel between the A port and the B port of the variable plunger pump 1; the second overflow valve 4 is connected with the output end of the oil supplement pump 2.

[0053] Preferably, the silo walking control hydraulic system further comprises a one-way valve 7, the output end of the one-way valve 7 is connected with the output end of the oil supplement pump 2, and the input end of the one-way valve 7 is connected with the right front accumulator 8.1 and the left front accumulator 8.2 respectively.

[0054] Preferably, the silo walking control hydraulic system further comprises a third overflow valve 6, the third overflow valve 6 is connected with the input end of the one-way valve 7 in parallel.

[0055] Preferably, the silo walking control hydraulic system further comprises a first pressure sensor 5 and a second pressure sensor 13, the first pressure sensor 5 is connected with the output end of the oil supplement pump 2 and used for detecting the outlet pressure of the oil supplement pump 2, and the second pressure sensor 13 is connected with the pipeline between the one-way valve 7 and the right front accumulator 8.1 and the left front accumulator 8.2 in parallel and used for detecting the pressure in the right front accumulator 8.1 and the left front accumulator 8.2.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the variable plunger pump 1 is the power source of the hydraulic walking system, and the swash plate can be bidirectional variable; the oil supplement pump 2 is a gear pump, and in the hydraulic system, the main functions of the oil liquid of the oil supplement pump 2 are as follows: low-pressure side oil supplement of the hydraulic system, motor housing flushing and control of the swash plate variable of the variable plunger pump 1; the first overflow valve 3 is a high-pressure overflow valve, and the main function is that when the oil pressure of one side of the hydraulic system is higher than the set value of the overflow valve, the first overflow valve 3 is opened, the high-pressure side oil liquid enters the low-pressure side, and the pump inlet and outlet oil liquid circulates; the second overflow valve 4 is an oil supplement overflow valve, which controls the outlet pressure of the oil supplement pump; the first pressure sensor 5 is an oil supplement pressure sensor, which detects the outlet pressure of the oil supplement pump 2 at any time;

[0057] The third overflow valve 6 is a safety valve. If the leakage of the right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2 is relatively large, long-time walking will cause the high-pressure side oil to leak to the single-way valve 7 and between the right front accumulator 8.1 or the left front accumulator 8.2 through the right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2, resulting in the continuous increase of the pressure of each accumulator. If the right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2 has a problem, the high-pressure side oil can directly enter each accumulator when advancing. Therefore, when the pressure increases to the set pressure of the third overflow valve 6, the third overflow valve 6 is unloaded, protecting each accumulator and improving the safety and reliability of the use of each accumulator.

[0058] The right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2 is a one-way check valve, reversely stopping the high-pressure oil of the left front variable piston motor 10 and the right front variable piston motor 12. When the oil inlet of the left front variable piston motor 10 and the right front variable piston motor 12 loses pressure, the oil in the right front accumulator 8.1 or the left front accumulator 8.2 is quickly supplemented to the low-pressure side of the left front variable piston motor 10 and the right front variable piston motor 12 through the right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2.

[0059] The left front variable piston motor 10 and the right front variable piston motor 12 are front axle left and right wheel edge driving motors, and the rear axle variable piston motor 11 is a rear axle driving motor. Each motor is a variable displacement motor. When the left front variable piston motor 10 and the right front variable piston motor 12 lose power, the displacement is maximum. Since high-speed emergency braking usually occurs in two-drive (front-drive) mode, each accumulator oil supplement is only provided on the oil circuit of the left and right front walking motors.

[0060] The second pressure sensor 13 is arranged on the pipeline between each accumulator and the single-way valve 7. The second pressure sensor 13 can perform safety warning in advance. The alarm pressure of the second pressure sensor 13 is greater than the oil supplement pressure and slightly less than the setting pressure of the third overflow valve 6. When the right front one-way valve 9.1 or the left front one-way valve 9.2 has relatively large leakage or other problems, resulting in the continuous increase of the pressure of each accumulator and reaching the alarm pressure of the second pressure sensor 13, the system prompts that the pressure of each accumulator is too high and needs to be repaired.

[0061] It can be seen that the walking control hydraulic system for silo provided by the above embodiments aims at the problem of instantaneous pressure loss of the original high-pressure port of the closed system caused by high-speed emergency braking of the vehicle. By setting the oil supplementing accumulator and the one-way valve in the circuit, the oil is quickly supplemented to the pressure loss side, which avoids the working failure of the variable pump and the variable motor, ensures the service life of the hydraulic elements, and realizes the requirements of silo driving deceleration and emergency braking by using a small number of commonly used elements.

[0062] As shown in Figure 2 Another preferred embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a walking control hydraulic system for silo, comprising the steps of:

[0063] S1, obtaining the current pedal depression angle, for example, setting an angle sensor on the pedal, and using the angle sensor to detect the current pedal depression angle in real time;

[0064] S2, according to the interval where the actual depression angle is located, controlling the displacement of the variable plunger pump 1, the left front variable plunger motor 10, the rear axle variable plunger motor 11 and the right front variable plunger motor 12 according to the corresponding displacement change slope to output the corresponding size of the static hydraulic braking force to realize the gradual speed reduction of the vehicle; and only when the actual depression angle reaches the set threshold value, while outputting the corresponding size of the static hydraulic braking force, the friction braking force corresponding to the size of the actual depression angle is also generated by driving the foot brake valve to output the hydraulic pressure to the brake caliper to realize the emergency braking of the vehicle, wherein the displacement change slope and the hydraulic pressure output by the foot brake valve are positively correlated with the size of the actual depression angle.

[0065] The control method provided in this embodiment optimizes the control logic to differentiate between pure deceleration and emergency braking conditions. For example, in pure deceleration, hydrostatic braking is used; while in emergency braking, hydrostatic braking combined with friction braking is used. This avoids premature damage to the friction pads caused by excessive friction braking and increases the service life of the components. In emergency braking, if the lever does not return to the neutral position for some reason, the hydraulic system will continue to output driving force. If only friction braking is applied by the foot brake, the braking distance will increase significantly. The control method of this application obtains the current pedal angle and then performs overriding control to avoid this situation and improve the overall braking safety and reliability. The control method of this embodiment controls the displacement of each pump and motor according to the displacement change slope of the actual pedal angle range to output a corresponding amount of hydrostatic braking force. That is, the smaller the actual pedal angle, the smaller the displacement change slope of each pump and motor is used to control the displacement of each pump and motor to output a smaller amount of hydrostatic braking force to gradually reduce the vehicle speed. The larger the actual pedal angle, the larger the displacement change slope of each pump and motor is used to control the displacement of each pump and motor to output a larger amount of hydrostatic braking force. At the same time, hydraulic pressure is also output to the brake caliper to generate a larger friction braking force to jointly achieve emergency braking of the vehicle. That is, this application can output different sizes and types of braking force according to different working conditions, thereby greatly improving the braking accuracy and braking efficiency of the whole machine.

[0066] Preferably, the step of controlling the displacement of the variable displacement piston pump 1, the left front variable displacement piston motor 10, the rear axle variable displacement piston motor 11, and the right front variable displacement piston motor 12 according to the displacement change slope within the range of the actual pedal angle to output a corresponding amount of hydrostatic braking force to gradually reduce the vehicle speed; and only after the actual pedal angle reaches a set threshold, while outputting a corresponding amount of hydrostatic braking force, also driving the foot brake valve to output hydraulic pressure to the brake caliper to generate a corresponding amount of frictional braking force to achieve emergency braking of the vehicle, specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] S21. If the current pedal angle θ < θ0, the vehicle is in normal driving mode by default. At this time, the vehicle speed is controlled by the handle. The control system controls the vehicle speed and the handle current value in a closed loop.

[0068] S22. If the current pedal angle θ0 ≤ θ ≤ θ1, the control system overrides the handle control and uses the first displacement change slope K. θX1 The displacement of the variable displacement piston pump 1, the left front variable displacement piston motor 10, the rear axle variable displacement piston motor 11, and the right front variable displacement piston motor 12 are controlled to output a corresponding amount of hydrostatic braking force to gradually reduce the vehicle speed.

[0069] S23. If the current pedal angle θ1 < θ ≤ θ2, the control system overrides the lever control and uses the second displacement change slope K. θX2 The displacement of the variable displacement piston pump 1, the left front variable displacement piston motor 10, the rear axle variable displacement piston motor 11, and the right front variable displacement piston motor 12 are controlled to output a corresponding amount of hydrostatic braking force, wherein K θX1 <K θX2 Simultaneously, the foot brake valve outputs hydraulic pressure based on the actual pedal angle, which acts on the brake caliper to generate a corresponding frictional braking force to achieve emergency braking of the vehicle. The frictional braking force is positively correlated with the actual pedal angle.

[0070] like Figure 3 As shown, the foot pedal is connected to an angle sensor. The horizontal axis represents the actual pedal pressing angle, corresponding to the angle sensor feedback signal and the angle brake valve output pressure. The interval 0 to θ0 is set as a dead zone. Within this interval, slight changes in the pedal pressing angle will not trigger an output signal from the angle sensor, preventing erroneous operation caused by external environment or human factors. Within the interval θ0 to θ1, the angle sensor output signal corresponds to 0 to I1, at which point no pressure oil is output from the pedal to the brake caliper. Within the interval θ1 to θ2, the angle sensor output signal corresponds to I1-I2, at which point the pedal output pressure range is 0 to P. max As can be seen, in this embodiment, the pressure and angle sensor signals output by the pedal are positively correlated with the pedal angle.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, when the controller detects the electrical signal fed back by the angle sensor, it overrides the control handle. When the angle signal is within the range θ0 to θ1, the system defaults to a slow deceleration condition. The system controls the pump and motor variables with a low slope (the motor increases the displacement, and the pump decreases the displacement). The displacement change slope is set to the first displacement change slope K. θX1 ,like Figure 5 As shown, the entire mechanism is braked by hydrostatic braking within this range, with the braking force located between 0 and F1. Under this condition, the speed is reduced slowly only through hydrostatic braking, avoiding the rapid wear of the friction pads caused by repeated mechanical friction braking.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, when the angle signal is within the interval θ1 to θ2, the system defaults to an emergency braking condition, requiring rapid deceleration and stopping. The system controls the pump and motor variables with a high slope (increasing the motor's displacement and decreasing the pump's displacement). The displacement change slope is set to the second displacement change slope K. θX2 The greater the hydrostatic braking force generated at this time, the greater the vehicle's deceleration. Simultaneously, the braking pressure output by the foot brake valve also increases with the increase in the pedal angle, acting on the brake caliper to generate frictional braking force, such as... Figure 5As shown, the whole machine braking in the interval θ1~θ2 includes hydrostatic braking + mechanical friction braking, the braking force is located in the interval F1~F2, the whole vehicle braking force F is larger, and the rapid emergency stop of the vehicle is realized.

[0073] Specifically, the first displacement change slope K θX1 and the second displacement change slope K θX2 Specifically:
