The upper vehicle is composed of a rotating platform, a working arm frame, etc. When the vehicle is working using the working arm frame of the upper vehicle, the lower vehicle needs to be supported and leveled first to make the lower vehicle in a horizontal state and the chassis tires leave the ground. This is to provide a horizontal reference platform for the work of the upper vehicle, and to ensure the safety of the vehicle by supporting the entire vehicle weight on the four supporting legs. The operator also has the demand of setting the height of the lower vehicle support during the use of the vehicle, i.e. supporting the vehicle at a set ground clearance, such as adapting to the demand of inclined road surface, the demand of fixed-point work of overhead working vehicles and high-altitude fire fighting vehicles, etc.

[0047] L3 = h o - W B × sin θ y - W R × sin θ x + W B × sin θ y0 + W R × sin θ x0 (Formula 5-12)

[0048] L4 = h o - W B × sin θ y + W F × sin θ x + W B × sin θ y0 - W F × sin θ​x0 (Formula 5-13)

[0049] wherein, o point is the center of gravity of the vehicle, h o is the vertical distance from the distance sensor mounting point o to the ground, W L is the span of the left side leg to the center of gravity o, W R is the span of the right side leg to the center of gravity o, W F is the span of the front side leg to the center of gravity o.

[0066] The application will be further described below in combination with the drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the application, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the application.

[0067] Embodiment 1

[0068] This embodiment introduces a control system for supporting and leveling of a work vehicle, which comprises a controller, a man-machine interaction unit, a supporting leg stress detection unit, a chassis inclination sensor, a chassis distance sensor, an operating element and a hydraulic proportional valve for controlling the extension and retraction of the vertical supporting legs.

[0069] The off-car support leveling control system as shown in the figure comprises: Figure 2

[0070] (1) The operating element (21) provides off-car support leveling command signals. When the operating element is pressed, the controller starts to perform off-car support leveling operation.

[0071] (2) The man-machine interaction unit (22) displays the state information of off-car leveling operation, and can also modify the off-car ground clearance.

[0072] (3) The leg force detection unit (23) has four units, which detect the contact of the four legs with the ground to identify whether the legs are in the virtual leg state.

[0073] (4) The chassis inclination sensor (24) is installed at the vehicle gravity center of the chassis bottom surface, which detects the inclination degree of the vehicle body in the left-right and front-rear directions.

[0074] (5) The chassis distance sensor (25) is installed at the same position as the chassis inclination sensor, which detects the distance between the chassis and the ground, which can be a microwave distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor or a laser distance sensor, etc.

[0075] (6) The controller (26) comprises an input signal processing unit (261), a set height support leveling control unit (262) and a signal output unit (263), wherein:

[0076] The input signal processing unit (261) collects the information of the leg force detection unit (23), the chassis inclination sensor (24) and the chassis distance sensor (25), and performs filtering, conversion and other operations. The signal of the operating element (21) is received to obtain the start instruction of the off-car support leveling operation. The information is interacted with the man-machine interaction unit (22) to receive the set ground clearance data, and the information including the chassis inclination degree and the chassis ground clearance is sent to the man-machine interaction unit (22) for display.

[0077] The set height support leveling control unit (262) executes the control algorithm of the set height support leveling operation.

[0078] The signal output unit (263) loads the control signal obtained by the set height support leveling control unit (262) to the leg hydraulic proportional valve (27) through the valve control module.

[0079] ​(7) The outrigger hydraulic proportional valve (27) outputs a control signal through the loading signal output unit (263), and the proportional valve opening produces different degrees of opening to drive the outrigger to extend and retract at different speeds. The greater the loaded control signal, the faster the outrigger extension and retraction speed, and vice versa. The control signal corresponding to the minimum opening of the outrigger hydraulic proportional valve is recorded as U min , and the control signal corresponding to the maximum opening is recorded as U max .

[0080] In specific use, the embodiment includes:

[0081] ① The ground inclination degree is measured using the chassis inclination sensor.

[0082] ② According to the ground inclination degree, the outrigger span, and the set height value, the set extension length L sx of each vertical outrigger when the vehicle is at the set ground clearance after the vehicle leveling is completed is predicted, x = 1, 2, 3, 4, corresponding to the left front outrigger, the right front outrigger, the right rear outrigger, and the left rear outrigger, respectively.

[0083] ③ The ground clearance value measured by the distance sensor is corrected according to the ground inclination degree and the chassis inclination information to eliminate the error problem caused by the ground inclination and the chassis inclination to the distance sensor.

[0084] ④ After all four outriggers are stressed, the extension length L x of each vertical outrigger is calculated in real time according to the ground inclination degree, the chassis inclination degree, the vehicle ground clearance, and the outrigger span, x = 1, 2, 3, 4, corresponding to the left front outrigger, the right front outrigger, the right rear outrigger, and the left rear outrigger, respectively.

[0085] ⑤ When the vehicle is leveled, the four vertical outriggers are extended synchronously, and the loading control signal of the hydraulic proportional valve is maximum. When the extension length L i of the i-th outrigger reaches L si , the extension action of this outrigger is stopped. The remaining three outriggers continue to extend, and the loading control signal U x is closed-loop adjusted according to the difference between the extension length L x and the set extension length L sx . When the chassis inclination approaches 0°, the extension action of all outriggers is stopped, and at this time the vehicle leveling is completed.

[0086] ⑥ The set ground clearance value of the vehicle should be selected to be just enough to ensure that all tires can be off the ground, so that the vehicle leveling can be quickly completed and the vehicle leveling time is shortened. The set ground clearance of the vehicle can also be modified by the operator according to the application scenario through the human-computer interaction unit.

[0087] Embodiment 2

[0088] The control method for supporting and leveling of the work vehicle provided by the embodiment is applicable to the control system for supporting and leveling of the work vehicle described in Embodiment 1, and each vertical supporting leg extension length is calculated through the ground inclination, the chassis inclination sensor, the chassis distance sensor and the supporting leg span.

[0089] First, taking the horizontal ground as an example, the calculation formula is derived.

[0090] As shown in Figure 3 , it is a supporting schematic diagram of the work vehicle, and o point is the gravity center of the vehicle and the installation position of the chassis inclination sensor and the distance sensor. The chassis inclination sensor can measure the inclination of two directions X and Y as shown in the figure, which are denoted as θ x and θ y . When the left side is high, θ x > 0; when the front side is high, θ y > 0. The extension length of the four vertical supporting legs is denoted as L x , wherein x = 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively corresponding to the left front supporting leg, the right front supporting leg, the right rear supporting leg and the left rear supporting leg. The vertical distance from the distance sensor installation point o to the ground is h o , and the distance measured by the distance sensor from the ground is denoted as h. Since the distance measured by the distance sensor is the distance from the normal of the sensor installation surface to the ground, when the chassis is in an inclined state, h≠ h o . Therefore, the ground clearance information measured by the distance sensor needs to be corrected according to the chassis inclination.

[0091] In a three-dimensional coordinate system, it is assumed that the vertical distance from the distance sensor installation point o to the ground is h o on the normal oZ of the oXY plane, and the angle between the distance h measured by the distance sensor and oZ is denoted as θ z , then,

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] By combining formula 5-1 and formula 5-2, we can get,

[0095]

[0096] The chassis inclination information is decomposed into oXZ plane and oYZ plane, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , wherein W L is the span of the left supporting leg to the gravity center o, W R is the span of the right supporting leg to the gravity center o, W B is the span of the rear supporting leg to the gravity center o, and W F is the span of the front supporting leg to the gravity center o.

[0097] The length of the four vertical legs can be calculated, and it is known that,

[0098] L1 = h o +W F × sin θ y +W L × sin θ x ; (5-4)

[0099] L2 = h o +W F × sin θ y -W R × sin θ x ; (5-5)

[0100] L3 = h o -W B × sin θ y -W R × sin θ x ; (5-6)

[0101] L4 = h o -W B × sin θ y +W F × sin θ x ; (5-7)

[0102] Similarly, assuming that the ground is inclined by θ x0 and θ y0 , and θ x0 ≠ 0, θ y0 ≠ 0, the relationship between h o and h on the inclined ground can be derived as

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] The length of the four vertical legs on the inclined ground is:

[0106] L1 = h o +W F × sin θ y +W L × sin θ x -W F × sin θ y0 -W L × sin θ x0 ; (5-10)

[0107] L2 = h o +WF x sin θ y -W R x sin θ x -W F x sin θ y0 +W R x sin θ x0 ; (Formula 5-11)

[0108] L3 = h o -W B x sin θ y -W R x sin θ x +W B x sin θ y0 +W R x sin θ x0 ; (Formula 5-12)

[0109] L4 = h o -W B x sin θ y +W F x sin θ x +W B x sin θ y0 -W F x sin θ x0 ; (Formula 5-13)

[0110] According to the set height h s , the set length L sx of the outrigger is predicted after leveling is completed, where x = 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively corresponding to the left front outrigger, the right front outrigger, the right rear outrigger and the left rear outrigger. After leveling is completed, θ x = 0, θ y = 0, and according to Formula 5-11 to Formula 5-13, it can be known that

[0111] L s1 = h s -W F x sin θ y0 -W L x sin θ x0 ; (Formula 5-14)

[0112] L s2 = h s -W F x sin θ y0 +W R x sin θ x0 ; (Formula 5-15)

[0113] L s3 = h s +WB x sin θ y0 + W R x sin θ x0 ; (5-16)

[0114] L s4 = h s + W B x sin θ y0 = W F x sin θ x0 ; (5-17)

[0115] The control method for supporting and leveling of the work vehicle provided by the embodiment specifically comprises the following steps:

[0116] S1: pressing the operating element to start supporting and leveling of the work vehicle.

[0117] S2: recording the chassis inclination sensor data as θ x0 and θ y0 to obtain the degree of ground inclination. The data is not updated in the current supporting and leveling operation.

[0118] S3: reading the off-ground height data set by the man-machine interaction unit as h s . The data is not updated in the current supporting and leveling operation.

[0119] S4: predicting the set extension length of each supporting leg after leveling according to formulas 5-14 to 5-17, and recording the set extension length of each supporting leg as L sx , wherein x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively correspond to the left front supporting leg, the right front supporting leg, the right rear supporting leg, and the left rear supporting leg. The data is not updated in the current supporting and leveling operation.

[0120] S5: extending the four vertical supporting legs and loading the control signal U x = U max of the four vertical supporting leg proportional valves, wherein x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively correspond to the left front supporting leg, the right front supporting leg, the right rear supporting leg, and the left rear supporting leg.

[0121] S6: after the four supporting legs are all stressed, calculating the extension length of each vertical supporting leg in real time according to the ranging sensor data h, the chassis inclination data θ x , θ y , and formulas 5-10 to 5-13, and recording the extension length of each vertical supporting leg as L x , wherein x = 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively correspond to the left front supporting leg, the right front supporting leg, the right rear supporting leg, and the left rear supporting leg.

[0122] S7: when the extension length L i of the i-th supporting leg reaches L siWhen the difference between the extension length L i = 0.

[0123] S8: The remaining three legs continue to extend, and the load control signal U x According to the difference between the extension length L x and the set extension length L sx , closed-loop regulation is performed to achieve motion deceleration. The smaller the difference between the extension length L x and the set extension length L sx , the smaller the load control signal U x , the closer to the minimum control signal U mi n, and the slower the extension speed.

[0124] S9: When | θ x | < ε and | θ xy | < ε, stop all leg extension actions, and U x = 0. Wherein ε is a horizontal state judgment value, used to judge that the chassis inclination is very small, and the off-vehicle has reached a horizontal state. At this time, the off-vehicle set height support leveling is completed.

[0125] During the entire process, dynamic sliding filtering is performed on the collected sensor data to eliminate sensor value disturbances caused by chassis motion vibration and other factors. The control method flowchart of the off-vehicle set height support leveling is shown in Figure 6 .

[0126] The present application enables the work vehicle to realize one-key off-vehicle set height support leveling at low cost and high reliability, and improves the vehicle application scene adaptability. At the same time, according to the ground inclination degree and the chassis inclination information, the measurement data of the chassis ranging sensor is corrected to improve the accuracy of the off-vehicle ground clearance height data.

[0127] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
