[0002] With the development of vehicle technology, automatic loading and unloading technology for dump trucks has emerged. This technology is widely used in industries such as construction, water conservancy, and mining for short-distance transportation of various bulk materials such as concrete, sand, asphalt, coal, and silt. Among these, materials such as sand and coal have relatively low viscosity, and dump trucks can completely unload them by lifting them with hydraulic cylinders.

[0003] However, when transporting highly viscous materials such as asphalt and silt, these materials adhere to the cargo box floor, making it impossible to completely unload them using only the lifting hydraulic cylinder. Furthermore, if the driver uses the lifting hydraulic cylinder, they must either lurch forward and brake suddenly or pound the cargo box to completely unload the material, severely impacting unloading efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for unloading cargo from a dump truck is provided. The dump truck includes a parking power take-off controller, a lifting hydraulic cylinder, a linkage mechanism, multiple strain sensors, and a truck bed. The linkage mechanism includes a linkage and an automatic vibrator. The multiple strain sensors are deployed on the floor of the truck bed. The method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step 102: When the dump truck is ready to unload materials, the lifting hydraulic cylinder is extended by the parking power take-off controller, and the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is obtained.

[0058] The parking power take-off controller is used to control the extension and retraction of the lifting hydraulic cylinder. The displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is the distance that the parking power take-off controller moves to control the extension of the lifting hydraulic cylinder.

[0059] Multiple strain sensors are deployed on the floor of the carriage. The location and number of strain sensors are determined based on the actual situation, including the structure of the entire carriage, the location of the automatic vibrators, and the pattern of cargo descent.

[0060] In some embodiments, the dump truck includes a parking power take-off controller, a lifting hydraulic cylinder, a linkage mechanism, multiple strain sensors, a truck body, and displacement sensors for the lifting hydraulic cylinder; the linkage mechanism includes a linkage and an automatic vibrator; and multiple strain sensors are deployed on the floor of the truck body. The displacement sensors for the lifting hydraulic cylinder are located at the extended end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder, for example, the displacement sensor is built into the lifting hydraulic cylinder of the dump truck.

[0061] Optionally, when the dump truck is preparing to unload materials, the lifting hydraulic cylinder is extended by the parking power take-off controller, and the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is measured by the lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensor. As the lifting hydraulic cylinder rises, the linkage mechanism extends accordingly.

[0062] Step 104: Based on the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder and / or the position information of the automatic vibrator, determine whether the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke.

[0063] The position information of the automatic vibrator can include whether the automatic vibrator is perpendicular to the floor of the carriage or not.

[0064] Optionally, based on the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder and / or the position information of the automatic vibrator, it can be determined whether the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke. Specifically, the position information of the automatic vibrator can be set so that the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke when it is perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle body.

[0065] In practical applications, since the lifting stroke of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed, when the displacement information of the hydraulic cylinder measured by the displacement sensor reaches a preset value, it can be determined that the hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke. Specifically, the preset value can be set according to the actual situation, and this invention does not limit it.

[0066] For example, the extension of the lifting hydraulic cylinder stops when the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke.

[0067] refer to Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the auxiliary unloading structure in an embodiment of the present invention. The auxiliary unloading structure includes a cargo box 1-1, a frame 1-2, a cargo box base 1-3, an automatic vibrator 1-4, a connecting rod 1-5, a frame base 1-6, a lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7, a lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensor 1-8, and a strain sensor 1-9. The connecting rod mechanism includes the automatic vibrator 1-4 and the connecting rod 1-5. The automatic vibrator 1-4 is connected to the frame 1-2 through the connecting rod mechanism.

[0068] Based on the layout space and structural characteristics of dump trucks, the frame bases 1-6 are fixed to the frame with bolts. The actual position of the frame bases can be determined according to the length of the linkage mechanism.

[0069] The carriage base 1-3 is bolted to the carriage and connected to the frame base 1-6 via a linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism consists of two links, one of which is an automatic vibrator. The linkage mechanism is used to retract and expand in response to the movement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7. When the lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7 reaches its stroke end, the automatic vibrator should be perpendicular to the carriage floor to achieve optimal vibration.

[0070] In some embodiments, due to the different models of automatic vibrators required by the market, but to ensure the versatility of the entire solution, a minimum length for connecting rods 1-5 can be set. Specifically,

[0071]

[0072] Among them, h min Here, H is the minimum length of connecting rod 1-5; H is the distance from lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7 to the floor of carriage 1-1 (along the extension direction of the lifting hydraulic cylinder); L is the distance from the base of lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7 to the rear end of frame 1-2; B is the vertical distance from the center of frame base 1-6 to the upper wing surface of frame 1-2; sinα is the horizontal tilt angle of lifting hydraulic cylinder 1-7; A is the length of the automatic vibrator; and C is the vertical distance from the center of carriage base 1-3 to the floor of carriage 1-1. For more details, please refer to... Figure 2 .

[0073] Step 106: When the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke, the plurality of strain sensors are activated, and the strain of the vehicle floor measured by the plurality of strain sensors is obtained.

[0074] Among them, the strain sensor is used to measure the strain of the car floor to detect the strain of the car floor.

[0075] In practical applications, the strain on the car floor is due to cargo on its surface, which deforms under the weight of the cargo. Therefore, if strain sensors can measure the strain, it means that cargo remains on the surface of the car.

[0076] In one embodiment, when the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke, multiple strain sensors are activated to acquire the strain of the vehicle floor measured by the multiple strain sensors.

[0077] Step 108: Control the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task according to the strain of the carriage floor.

[0078] The unloading task involves the dump truck unloading all the materials from the truck bed.

[0079] Optionally, if the lifting hydraulic cylinder has not reached the end of its stroke, the material is unloaded by extending the lifting hydraulic cylinder; if the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, the strain measured by the strain sensor is used to control the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task of the remaining material.

[0080] In the above-mentioned unloading method for dump trucks, the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder and / or the position information of the automatic vibrator are used to determine whether the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke. If the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, multiple strain sensors are activated to obtain the strain of the truck bed measured by the multiple strain sensors. Based on the strain of the truck bed, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task. By controlling the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task based on the strain measured by multiple strain sensors deployed on the truck bed when the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, the unloading efficiency is improved while ensuring personnel safety.

[0081] In one embodiment, step 108 includes:

[0082] Step 1082: Calculate the first average strain based on the first strain measured by the plurality of strain sensors.

[0083] Multiple strain sensors are deployed on the floor of the carriage, and the first strain is the strain measured in real time by the multiple strain sensors.

[0084] Optionally, a first average dependent variable can be calculated based on multiple first dependent variables.

[0085] To better understand the method of deploying strain sensors on the floor of the dump truck in this embodiment, Figure 2 In terms of structure, taking the installation of 6 strain sensors as an example, refer to... Figure 3 The diagram shows the structural arrangement of the strain sensors. The carriage 1-1 is divided into front and rear sections by the centerline of the carriage base 1-3. The front section 3-1 of carriage 1-1 is further divided into two rectangles by the centerline 3-3. Two strain sensors 1-9 are placed at the intersection of the diagonals of these two rectangles, with coordinates (Q / 2, T / 4) and (Q / 2, 3T / 4), respectively. Here, T is the width of the carriage, and Q is the distance from the centerline of the carriage base 1-3 to the front end of carriage 1-1. The distance; the rear part 3-2 of carriage 1-1 is divided into 8 triangles by the center line 3-3 of the carriage and the diagonal of the rectangle. The center of gravity of the four triangles closest to the base 1-3 of the carriage and the rear end of carriage 1-1 are used to arrange the sensors. The coordinates of the arrangement points are (Q+F / 6, T / 4), (Q+F / 6, 3T / 4), (Q+5F / 6, T / 4), (Q+5F / 6, 3T / 4), where F is the distance from the center line of the base 1-3 of the carriage to the rear end of carriage 1-1.

[0086] Step 1084: Determine whether the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error.

[0087] The preset sensor error is determined based on the actual selected strain sensor.

[0088] For example, taking 6 strain sensors as an example, the calculation is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Where, Δ n δ represents the strain displayed by strain sensors 1-9; n is the number of sensors, n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; δ is the preset sensor error.

[0091] Step 1086: If the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error, then control the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task.

[0092] In some embodiments, if the first average strain is not less than a preset sensor error, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task.

[0093] In the above embodiment, a first average strain is calculated based on the first strain obtained by real-time measurement. If the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task, thus avoiding the situation where the automatic vibrator does useless work due to sensor error.

[0094] In one embodiment, controlling the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task when the first average strain is greater than or equal to the preset sensor error includes:

[0095] If the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error, then the second average strain is calculated based on the initial strain measured by the plurality of strain sensors; and the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain and the second average strain.

[0096] The initial strain measured by multiple strain sensors is the strain measured when the strain sensors are activated after the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke.

[0097] Specifically, when the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain and the second average strain.

[0098] In the above embodiment, when the first average strain is not less than the preset sensor error, the second average strain of the initial strain is calculated. Based on the first average strain and the second average strain, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task. This achieves the goal of controlling the automatic vibrator by the average value of the initial strain and the average value of the real-time strain while improving unloading efficiency. This optimizes the usage frequency of the automatic vibrator and improves its service life.

[0099] In one embodiment, controlling the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain and the second average strain includes:

[0100] A preset time interval is obtained, which is the minimum time interval set for the time relay; the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval.

[0101] The dump truck includes a time relay, which can control an automatic vibrator to perform unloading tasks.

[0102] The preset time interval is the minimum time interval set by the time relay, which is related to the actual time relay selected.

[0103] Specifically, by acquiring a preset time interval, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval.

[0104] In the above embodiments, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform unloading tasks by using the minimum time interval of the time relay, the first average strain, and the second average strain, thereby optimizing the usage frequency of the automatic vibrator and improving its service life.

[0105] In one embodiment, controlling the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and a preset time interval includes:

[0106] The energizing time interval of the time relay is calculated based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval; the output frequency of the automatic vibrator is controlled based on the energizing time interval of the time relay to perform the unloading task.

[0107] Specifically, the energizing time interval can be determined based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval. The output frequency of the automatic vibrator is controlled by the energizing time interval of the time relay to perform the unloading task.

[0108] For example, the dump truck includes an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) and a solenoid valve. Multiple strain sensors and lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensors can be connected to the corresponding control modules in the ECU to determine the energizing time interval of the time relay. Then, by adjusting the energizing time of the solenoid valve through the energizing time interval of the time relay, the output frequency of the automatic controller is changed to perform the unloading task.

[0109] In the above embodiments, by determining the energizing time interval of the time relay, the output frequency of the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task, thereby optimizing the usage frequency of the automatic vibrator and the time relay and improving their service life.

[0110] refer to Figure 4 The diagram shows a control circuit structure, including a strain sensor 401, a lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensor 402, an electronic controller unit 403, a display 404, a time relay 405, a manual switch 406, a solenoid valve 407, a flow limiter 408, and an automatic vibrator 409.

[0111] Strain sensor 401 is used to detect the strain of the dump truck bed floor.

[0112] The lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensor 402 is used to detect the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder.

[0113] The electronic controller unit 403 is used to calculate the energizing time interval of the time relay based on the strain and displacement information;

[0114] Display 404 is used to display the values ​​of the strain sensor.

[0115] Time relay 405 is used to control the output frequency of the automatic vibrator via a solenoid valve;

[0116] Manual switch 406 allows the driver to de-energize the solenoid valve according to actual needs;

[0117] Solenoid valve 407 is used to control the output frequency of the automatic vibrator;

[0118] The current limiter 408 is used to control the maximum current flowing through the entire circuit to protect the solenoid valve;

[0119] Automatic vibrator 409 is used to generate power to perform unloading tasks.

[0120] In one embodiment, calculating the energizing time interval of the time relay based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval includes:

[0121] Based on the first average strain, the second average strain, and the preset time interval, the energizing time interval of the time relay is increased through a preset frequency conversion control algorithm.

[0122] The preset frequency conversion control algorithm can be:

[0123] Where T is the energizing time interval of the time relay; T min For the preset time interval, Δ avg Let Δ be the first average dependent variable. avg(des) This is the second average dependent variable.

[0124] In the above embodiments, by using a preset frequency conversion control algorithm, the energizing time interval of the time relay is increased, thereby gradually reducing the output frequency of the automatic vibrator. While improving unloading efficiency, the operating frequency of the solenoid valve and the automatic vibrator is optimized, thereby increasing their service life.

[0125] refer to Figure 5 A flowchart of a control strategy is shown, including the following steps:

[0126] Step 501: Control the extension of the lifting hydraulic cylinder.

[0127] Specifically, when the dump truck is preparing to unload materials, the extension of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is controlled by the parking power take-off controller, and the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder is detected in real time by the lifting hydraulic cylinder displacement sensor.

[0128] Step 502: When the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, activate multiple strain sensors.

[0129] Specifically, the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder determines whether it has reached the end of its stroke, or when the position information of the automatic vibrator is perpendicular to the floor of the carriage, the lifting hydraulic cylinder reaches the end of its stroke; when the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, multiple strain sensors are activated.

[0130] Step 503: When the average value of the strain measured by multiple strain sensors is not less than the preset sensor error, the energizing time interval of the time relay is controlled by a preset frequency conversion control algorithm.

[0131] Specifically, the power-on time interval of the time relay is gradually increased by a preset frequency conversion control algorithm in order to reduce the output frequency of the automatic vibrator.

[0132] Step 504: The time relay controls the output frequency of the automatic vibrator through the solenoid valve, so as to control the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task.

[0133] In this embodiment, the displacement information of the lifting hydraulic cylinder and / or the position information of the automatic vibrator are used to determine whether the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke. If the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, multiple strain sensors are activated to obtain the strain of the truck bed measured by the multiple strain sensors. Based on the strain of the truck bed, the automatic vibrator is controlled to perform the unloading task. By controlling the automatic vibrator to perform the unloading task based on the strain measured by the multiple strain sensors deployed on the truck bed when the lifting hydraulic cylinder has reached the end of its stroke, the unloading efficiency is improved while ensuring personnel safety.
