Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of excavator control technology, and in particular to an excavator and its control method and device. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, excavators may switch from low-load to high-load conditions. For example, when shaking soil, it is necessary to control the stick to switch between inward and outward tilting modes, or to switch from boom lowering mode to lifting mode. This will cause the hydraulic pump pressure to increase instantly, resulting in a significant increase in the power required by the hydraulic pump and causing the engine speed to drop too much.
[0003] Existing technologies lack the ability to predict sudden changes in hydraulic pump pressure. In the process of preventing engine speed drop, only the hydraulic pump flow is filtered, which assumes that the hydraulic pump pressure does not change significantly. It is impossible to predict engine speed drop caused by a sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure, and therefore cannot prevent engine speed drop caused by a sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure.

[0028] If not, then control the flow rate of the hydraulic pump to decrease.
[0029] Optionally, if it is determined that the target power demand does not exceed the rated power of the engine, the hydraulic pump is controlled to operate at a preset flow rate and the engine speed is controlled to remain constant.
[0030] According to another aspect of the present invention, a control device for an excavator is provided, the excavator including an engine and a hydraulic system, the hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump, the engine providing power to the hydraulic pump, the hydraulic pump outputting flow to cause the hydraulic system to output power, comprising:

Thus, when the target power demand exceeds the rated power of the engine, it can be determined that the hydraulic pump operating at the target power demand will likely cause the engine to slow down. Therefore, the hydraulic pump flow rate can be reduced or the engine speed can be increased to reduce the target power demand of the hydraulic pump, effectively preventing the engine from slowing down due to a sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure.

[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0048] This invention provides a control method for an excavator, wherein the excavator includes an engine and a hydraulic system, the hydraulic system includes a hydraulic pump, the engine provides power to the hydraulic pump, and the hydraulic pump outputs flow so that the hydraulic system outputs power. This excavator control method can prevent engine speed drop due to sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure. This excavator control method can be executed by the excavator control device provided in this invention, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware, and the excavator control device can be configured in the vehicle controller of the excavator.
[0049] Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method for an excavator provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0050] S110. During the operation of the excavator, obtain the target pressure of the hydraulic pump.
[0051] Specifically, during the operation of an excavator, there will be situations where the operating conditions change from low load to high load. The higher load will require the hydraulic pump to match a larger pressure. According to the background technology, the sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure will cause the power required by the hydraulic pump to increase significantly, resulting in excessive engine speed drop. Therefore, during the operation of the excavator, the target pressure of the hydraulic pump can be continuously obtained.
[0052] S120. Determine the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump based on the target pressure.
[0053] Specifically, the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump can be calculated based on the target pressure.
[0054] For example, when determining the target power requirement of a hydraulic pump based on the target pressure, the power calculation formula for the hydraulic pump can be obtained first. Then, based on the power calculation formula, the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump can be determined according to the target pressure. The power calculation formula is: W1 = Q * p; where W1 is the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump, Q is the flow rate of the hydraulic pump, and p is the target pressure of the hydraulic pump.
[0055] Specifically, the flow rate Q of the hydraulic pump can be understood as the current flow rate of the hydraulic pump. The flow rate Q can be pre-collected and stored for direct retrieval during use. By substituting the real-time collected target pressure p of the hydraulic pump into the power calculation formula, the target power requirement W1 of the hydraulic pump can be determined.
[0056] S130. Determine whether the target power requirement exceeds the engine's rated power; if so, proceed to step S140.
[0057] Specifically, after determining the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump, the target power requirement can be compared with the rated power of the engine to determine whether the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump is greater than the rated power of the engine. If the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump is greater than the rated power of the engine, it means that the hydraulic pump operating at the target power requirement will easily cause the engine to slow down. If the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump is less than or equal to the rated power of the engine, it means that the hydraulic pump operating at the target power requirement will not cause the engine to slow down. In this way, the engine speed drop situation can be predicted.
[0058] S140, Control the hydraulic pump flow rate to decrease or control the engine speed to increase.
[0059] Specifically, if the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump is determined to be greater than the rated power of the engine, the hydraulic pump flow rate is reduced or the engine speed is increased to reduce the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump, thereby preventing the engine from slowing down.
[0060] For example, if the target power demand of the hydraulic pump is less than or equal to the rated power of the engine, it means that the hydraulic pump will not cause the engine to slow down when it operates at the target power demand. In this case, the hydraulic pump can be controlled to run at a preset flow rate and the engine speed can be kept constant so that the hydraulic pump operates at the target power demand.
[0061] The excavator control method provided in this embodiment of the invention continuously acquires the target pressure of the hydraulic pump during the excavator's operation and determines the target power demand of the hydraulic pump in real time based on the target pressure. After determining the target power demand of the hydraulic pump, the target power demand of the hydraulic pump can be compared with the rated power of the engine. Thus, when the target power demand exceeds the rated power of the engine, it can be determined that the hydraulic pump operating at the target power demand will likely cause the engine to slow down. Therefore, the hydraulic pump flow rate can be reduced or the engine speed can be increased to reduce the target power demand of the hydraulic pump, effectively preventing the engine from slowing down due to a sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure.
[0062] Optional, Figure 2 This is another excavator control method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the control method of this excavator includes:
[0063] S210. During the operation of the excavator, acquire the handle opening signal.
[0064] S220. Determine the pilot pressure of the hydraulic pump based on the handle opening signal.
[0065] S230. Determine the target pressure of the hydraulic pump based on the pilot pressure.
[0066] Specifically, the operator controls the excavator to perform various working conditions via a joystick, such as boom retraction, boom tilting, boom raising, boom lowering, bucket retraction, bucket tilting, and rotation. Different joystick opening degrees correspond to different actions, and thus different pilot pressures. Therefore, when obtaining the target pressure of the hydraulic pump, the joystick opening signal can be obtained first. Based on the joystick opening signal, the corresponding pilot pressure can be determined. According to the matching relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure of the hydraulic pump, the target pressure corresponding to the joystick opening signal can be determined based on the pilot pressure.
[0067] For example, when determining the target pressure of the hydraulic pump based on the pilot pressure, a preset relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure can be obtained first, and then the target pressure of the hydraulic pump can be determined based on the pilot pressure according to the preset relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure.
[0068] Specifically, before the excavator leaves the factory, its actual operating conditions can be simulated, and the pilot pressure and the target pressure of the hydraulic pump can be calibrated one-to-one through testing to establish a preset relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure. Alternatively, the functional relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure can be determined based on test data, and this functional relationship can be used as the preset relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure. In this way, during the actual operation of the excavator, after determining the pilot pressure, the target pressure of the hydraulic pump can be directly determined based on the preset relationship between the pilot pressure and the target pressure.
[0069] S240. Determine the target power requirement of the hydraulic pump based on the target pressure.
[0070] S250. Determine whether the target power demand exceeds the engine's rated power; if yes, proceed to step S260; if no, proceed to step S280.
[0071] S260. Determine the target operating condition based on the handle opening signal and the target pressure of the hydraulic pump.
[0072] S270, control the hydraulic pump flow rate to decrease or control the engine speed to increase according to the target operating conditions.
[0073] S280: Control the hydraulic pump to operate at a preset flow rate and control the engine speed to remain constant.
[0074] Specifically, before reducing the hydraulic pump flow or increasing the engine speed, the handle opening signal can be acquired to determine the target working condition the excavator will perform. Among the various working conditions of the excavator, some have a significant impact on its efficiency, while others have a smaller impact. The target working condition can be identified by combining the handle opening signal and the target hydraulic pump pressure, i.e., identifying whether it is a boom retraction, boom tilt, boom raising, boom lowering, bucket retraction, bucket tilting, or body rotation condition. After determining the target working condition, it can be first determined whether it belongs to a type of working condition that has a significant impact on the excavator's efficiency or a type that has a smaller impact. Based on the type of target working condition, the hydraulic pump flow can be reduced or the engine speed increased to ensure that the excavator's working efficiency is maintained while preventing engine speed loss.
[0075] If the target working condition significantly impacts the excavator's efficiency, the engine speed should be increased to ensure that the engine speed meets the hydraulic pump's power requirements when the pump operates at the target power, preventing engine speed drops and maintaining high excavator efficiency. Conversely, if the target working condition has a smaller impact on excavator efficiency, the hydraulic pump flow rate can be reduced. This ensures stable engine speed and power output, preventing engine speed drops without affecting excavator efficiency. For example, working conditions significantly impacting excavator efficiency include slewing, boom retraction, boom tilting, boom lowering, and boom raising.
[0076] For example, when controlling the hydraulic pump flow rate to decrease or the engine speed to increase based on the target working condition, the working efficiency influence factor of the target working condition can be obtained first, and it can be determined whether the working efficiency influence factor is greater than a preset influence factor. If it is determined that the working efficiency influence factor is greater than the preset influence factor, it indicates that the target working condition has a significant impact on the excavator's working efficiency, and the engine speed is increased. If the working efficiency influence factor is less than or equal to the preset influence factor, it indicates that the target working condition has a relatively small impact on the excavator's working efficiency, and the hydraulic pump flow rate can be decreased. The preset influence factor can be set according to design requirements, and this embodiment of the invention does not specifically limit it.
[0077] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a control device for an excavator. This control device is used to execute the excavator control method provided in any embodiment of the present invention. The excavator control device can be implemented by software and / or hardware. Therefore, the excavator control device provided in the embodiments of the present invention includes the technical features of the excavator control method provided in any embodiment of the present invention, and can achieve the beneficial effects of the excavator control method provided in any embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] The excavator control method provided in this embodiment of the invention continuously acquires the target pressure of the hydraulic pump through a target pressure acquisition module during the excavator's operation, and determines the target power demand of the hydraulic pump in real time based on the target pressure through a target power demand determination module. After determining the target power demand of the hydraulic pump, the power judgment module compares the target power demand of the hydraulic pump with the rated power of the engine. Thus, when the target power demand exceeds the rated power of the engine, it can be determined that the hydraulic pump operating at the target power demand will likely cause the engine to slow down. Therefore, the first control module can control the hydraulic pump flow rate to decrease or control the engine speed to increase, thereby reducing the target power demand of the hydraulic pump and effectively preventing the engine from slowing down due to a sudden increase in hydraulic pump pressure.

[0086] Optionally, the excavator's control device may also include: a second control module, used to control the hydraulic pump to operate at a preset flow rate and control the engine speed to remain constant when the power judgment module determines that the target power demand is less than or equal to the engine's rated power.
