[0033] Figure 1 , Figure 2The diagram shows the principle block diagrams of two schemes for the hydraulic control system and control methods of the roller brush snow removal equipment. The engine on the vehicle is the power system for the vehicle's movement and the operation of the roller brush snow removal equipment installed at the front of the vehicle. The engine outputs power to the hydraulic pump through a power take-off, and then drives the variable pump through a power converter. The microcontroller controls the flow rate of the variable pump through the output signals of the speed sensor and pressure sensor to provide the required driving force for the roller brush hydraulic motor. An overflow valve is installed between the variable pump and the roller brush hydraulic motor to protect the high-pressure oil circuit. In addition to storing hydraulic oil, the oil tank also plays a role in heat dissipation, separating air bubbles in the hydraulic oil, and settling impurities. Figure 1 The variable pump shown is directly controlled by a signal output from a microcontroller, while Figure 2 The variable pump shown is directly controlled by a microcontroller. The microcontroller and the microcontroller communicate via a bus. The microcontroller controls the displacement of the variable pump through a current signal, thereby achieving adaptive speed control of the roller brush hydraulic motor.

[0034] A 24V power-driven motor drives a hydraulic pump via power conversion, which in turn powers the hydraulic cylinders for the roller brush's steering, pitching, and lifting functions. A microcontroller outputs solenoid valve control signals to control the bidirectional switching valve assembly, enabling the extension and retraction control of the roller brush's steering, pitching, and lifting hydraulic cylinders. Simultaneously, the microcontroller collects signals from displacement sensors mounted on the roller brush components for adaptive feedback control. Based on collected vehicle speed and snow thickness information, the microcontroller calculates the optimal roller brush speed, variable pump outlet pressure, and pitch cylinder extension / retraction amount, and then adjusts the roller brush speed by regulating the variable pump's input current to change the roller brush hydraulic motor's speed to meet requirements. Finally, the microcontroller adjusts the roller brush's pitching and lifting to regulate the contact area between the brush bristles and the ground, ensuring the required cleaning width.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, after the snow removal equipment starts operating, it automatically collects information such as vehicle speed and snow thickness, and then calculates the optimal roller brush speed, variable pump outlet pressure, and the extension and retraction of the pitch and lifting hydraulic cylinders. It then collects the roller brush speed and determines if it meets the requirements. If the speed does not meet the requirements, the input current of the variable pump needs to be adjusted, and the optimal roller brush speed, outlet pressure, and extension and retraction of the pitch and lifting hydraulic cylinders are recalculated. The roller brush speed is collected again to determine if it meets the requirements. If the speed meets the requirements, the outlet pressure of the variable pump is collected to determine if the pressure meets the requirements. If the pressure does not meet the requirements, the pitch and lifting mechanisms need to be adjusted to adjust the contact surface. The optimal roller brush speed, variable pump outlet pressure, and extension and retraction of the pitch and lifting hydraulic cylinders are recalculated, and the roller brush speed is collected again to determine if the pressure meets the requirements. If the pressure meets the requirements, the process ends.

The lifting hydraulic cylinder 108 is installed between the upper triangular frame 107 and the body connecting frame 101. The middle section controls the vertical lifting and lowering of the entire roller brush assembly 200; the rear ends of the upper triangular frame 107 and lower triangular frame 102 are hinged to the vehicle body connecting frame 101, and the front ends are hinged to the sub-beam assembly 106; one end of the steering hydraulic cylinder 103 is installed on the outside of the vehicle body connecting frame 101, and the other end is installed on the outside of the sub-beam assembly 106, and the extension and retraction of the steering hydraulic cylinder 103 controls the deflection of the roller brush assembly 200; one end of the pitch hydraulic cylinder 105 is installed on the roller brush assembly 200, and the other end is installed on the sub-beam assembly 106, and the extension and retraction of the pitch hydraulic cylinder 105 controls the pitch of the roller brush assembly 200.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the roller brush component 200 includes a roller brush frame 201, a roller brush hydraulic motor 202, a roller brush 203, a snow grooming plate 204, and a snow grooming plate hydraulic cylinder 205; the roller brush 203 is installed in the middle of the roller brush frame 201, and hydraulic motors 202 are installed on both sides of the roller brush 203; the roller brush 203 is driven by the roller brush hydraulic motors 202 on both sides.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a control method for the hydraulic control system of a roller brush snow removal device. Based on the collected information such as vehicle speed and snow thickness, the optimal roller brush speed, outlet pressure, and pitch cylinder extension / retraction amount are calculated. At the same time, the roller brush 203 speed is collected, and the input current of the variable pump is adjusted to ensure that the speed meets the requirements. Based on the information collected from the outlet pressure, the pitch and lifting are adjusted to adjust the contact surface so that the roller brush 203 has the required ground pressure.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, the vehicle's walking and power system outputs power to a hydraulic pump, and then the power is switched to a variable pump. A microcontroller directly controls the displacement of the electronically controlled variable pump to achieve speed control of the roller brush hydraulic motor 202. An overflow valve is installed between the variable pump and the roller brush hydraulic motor 202 to protect the oil circuit. At the same time, the microcontroller collects signals from the speed sensor and pressure sensor for intelligent feedback control.

[0040] In one exemplary embodiment, a microcontroller communicates with a dedicated controller via a bus. The dedicated controller controls the displacement of the electronically controlled variable pump through a current signal, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the roller brush hydraulic motor 202.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, a 24V hydraulic power source drives a motor, which in turn drives a hydraulic pump via power conversion, thereby providing power to the steering, pitch, and lifting hydraulic cylinders. The microcontroller controls the bidirectional switching valve group through solenoid valve control signals to realize the extension and retraction control of the steering, pitch, and lifting hydraulic cylinders. At the same time, the microcontroller collects signals from displacement sensors for feedback control.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, a laser emitter and a receiver are respectively mounted on the baffles at both ends of the roller brush 203 along the central axis to check the integrity of the roller brush core. When the diameter of the roller brush core is lower than a set minimum value, the laser receiver receives a laser beam, triggering a warning to replace the roller brush 203.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown in the schematic diagram, the overall structure of the roller brush snow removal equipment mainly consists of two parts: the control support component 100 and the roller brush component 200.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the microcontroller collects the real-time data signal of the distance h from the center of the roller brush 203 to the ground, and uses this data to control the extension and retraction L of the pitch hydraulic cylinder 105 to obtain the set value h1. This is then calculated using the formula... Control the grounding width of the roller brush 203, where r is the radius of the roller brush 203.

[0045] Establish the relationship between the force and torque on the roller brush and the hydraulic system, snow removal resistance. μ1 is the resistance coefficient between the brush bristles and dry snow, B is the width of the roller brush, H is the snow removal thickness, and ρ is the snow density. The relative speed between the bristles and the dry snow is denoted by D, where D is the diameter of the roller brush and n is the operating speed of the roller brush.

E is the elastic modulus of the bristle material, J is the polar moment of inertia of the bristle cross section, Z is the number of bristles in contact with the ground, S is the free length of the bristles, and δ is the ground deformation of the roller bristles.

[0048] Drive torque of the hydraulic motor for the roller brush p represents the hydraulic system pressure, v q η is the motor displacement. m For the motor's mechanical efficiency, according to the law of conservation of energy, the motor's driving torque is equal to the brush torque, and the hydraulic system pressure is... wherein The set pressure is a target value, the working pressure of the system is detected in real time and compared with the target value, the opening of the electric proportional valve is controlled through the PID controller, so as to control the stroke of the pitch hydraulic cylinder 105.

[0049] As Figure 7 As shown, through remote monitoring, weather information, road condition information and position information are collected, and data of the power and wear of the rolling brush are collected through mechanical, pressure and laser sensors, and then edge computing is performed on the platform composed of storage, calculation, network and application based on the vehicle body and snow removal equipment. The edge computing of the present application is on the side close to the snow removal data source of the vehicle body and snow removal equipment, and the control system performs adaptive control on the next step of the snow removal equipment based on the collected data. The intelligent control information of the snow removal equipment based on edge computing mainly consists of two parts. One is to configure a high-definition camera for remote real-time monitoring, and the weather information, road condition information and position information of the vehicle carrying the snow removal equipment during driving are shot by the high-definition camera, and then the shot image information is accurately transmitted to the control system and the next step of accurate calculation is performed. The second part is to detect the power and wear of the rolling brush by mechanical, pressure and laser sensors, and then the data is transmitted to the hydraulic control system for adaptive control by adjusting the opening and closing proportion of the switch valve group, the rolling brush speed and the input power. The mechanical, pressure and laser sensors mainly monitor and check the power and wear of the rolling brush to ensure the working capacity of the rolling brush and prevent damage.
