Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of control of backhoe excavators, and particularly relates to a boom supporting vehicle control method and device, a backhoe excavator and a storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Various complex operations of a hydraulic excavator cannot be performed without the participation of a boom, and the boom action can be divided into lifting, lowering and supporting vehicle. The boom supporting vehicle refers to placing the bucket of the excavator on the ground, the main pump supplies oil to the small cavity of the boom cylinder, and at the same time, the large cavity of the boom cylinder returns oil, so as to realize the boom supporting the ground and thus supporting the excavator. Some commonly used control processes for supporting the vehicle are as follows: the operation handle is used to lower the boom, the controller is used to open the boom main valve to make the rodless cavity and the rod cavity of the boom cylinder communicate, the hydraulic oil in the rodless cavity enters the rod cavity, and the boom is lowered by using its own weight, when the bucket contacts the ground and the boom cannot be further lowered by its own gravity, the pressure in the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder rises, and when the pressure in the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder rises to a set threshold, the controller adjusts the displacement of the hydraulic pump to supply oil to the rod cavity of the boom, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting the vehicle. Since the digging action and the supporting vehicle action of the backhoe excavator both require the boom to mainly output, the above control process has good application in the backhoe excavator. However, for the backhoe excavator, the digging action is to horizontally push the bucket after it falls to the ground, and the dipper mainly outputs, and the boom is not expected to mainly output. Only when the bucket falls to the ground to realize the supporting vehicle action is the boom mainly output. If the bucket of the backhoe excavator contacts the ground and the pressure in the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder rises due to an incorrect posture, the actual digging intention may be identified as the supporting vehicle intention only by detecting the pressure in the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder, thereby causing misoperation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a boom supporting vehicle control scheme suitable for the backhoe excavator. SUMMARY

[0008] In an alternative implementation, identifying the working condition type according to the handle operation signal comprises: inputting the handle operation signal into a preset identification model, the identification model being a neural network model pre-trained by a plurality of operation signal samples representing the positive shovel and a plurality of operation signal samples representing the truck supporting; when the identification model outputs the truck supporting intention, determining that the working condition type is the truck supporting working condition; when the identification model outputs the positive shovel intention, determining that the working condition type is the excavating working condition.

[0009] In an alternative implementation, obtaining the handle operation signal of the excavator comprises: obtaining an original handle operation signal; filtering the handle operation signal through a preset handle signal dead zone; and obtaining a filtered handle operation signal.

[0010] In an alternative implementation, the posture sensor is further arranged on the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator, and the method further comprises: acquiring a posture signal of the posture sensor, the posture signal being used to represent the action direction and action amplitude of the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator; and verifying the working condition type identified by the handle operation signal according to the posture signal.

[0021] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of the present application.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present application, a boom truck control method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described herein can be executed in an order different from that shown herein.

[0023] In the present embodiment, a boom truck control method is provided, which can be used in the above-mentioned backhoe excavator, Figure 1 is a flowchart of a boom truck control method according to an embodiment of the present application, which includes the following steps:

[0024] Step S101, acquiring the rodless cavity pressure of the boom cylinder;

[0025] Step S102, when the rodless cavity pressure is greater than the preset pressure threshold, acquiring the handle operation signal of the excavator;

[0026] Step S103, identifying the working condition type according to the handle operation signal, the working condition type including the supporting vehicle working condition and the excavating working condition;

[0027] Step S104, when the working condition type is the supporting vehicle working condition, controlling the oil pump to output oil to the rod cavity of the boom cylinder according to the handle operation signal.

[0028] Step S105, when the working condition type is the excavating working condition, keeping the main valve of the boom cylinder open, and controlling the oil pump to output oil to the rod cavity of the boom cylinder at the minimum displacement.

[0029] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application installs a pressure sensor in the hydraulic cylinder of the backhoe excavator, and detects the pressure of the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder in real time when the excavator is working. When the pressure of the rodless cavity of the boom cylinder does not reach the preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the boom may be in the state of rising, slightly touching the ground, and the intermediate state of the two states, so the working condition of the normal excavator must not belong to the supporting vehicle working condition, and there is no problem of confusion between the backhoe excavating and the supporting vehicle. At this time, it is not necessary to distinguish the execution control method. When the pressure of the rodless cavity is greater than the preset pressure threshold, it indicates that the backhoe excavator may perform the supporting vehicle action, or it may be that the user intends to perform the backhoe action but makes a mistake, resulting in the pressure of the rodless cavity being greater than the preset pressure threshold. For example, the user makes a mistake to continuously give the handle a downward signal, or the user makes a mistake to control the angle of the bucket to the ground to be relatively perpendicular, so that the force of the ground to the bucket is relatively large, resulting in the pressure of the rodless cavity being greater than the preset pressure threshold. If it is not distinguished, the situation of confusion between the backhoe excavating operation and the supporting vehicle operation may occur, resulting in the action of the excavator not meeting the intention of the driver, and reducing the operation experience of the driver. In view of this situation, the embodiment of the present application obtains the handle operation signal of the excavator when the pressure of the rodless cavity is greater than the preset pressure threshold, and identifies the true operation intention of the user by learning, analyzing and analyzing (such as frequency spectrum analysis, model learning, etc.) the handle operation signal, and then judges whether the user wants to perform the supporting vehicle action or the backhoe action according to the handle operation signal when the pressure of the rodless cavity is greater than the preset pressure threshold. In the embodiment, the obtained handle operation signal refers to the operation signal operated by the user for a period of time before the moment when the pressure of the rodless cavity is greater than the preset pressure threshold.

[0030] As Figure 2When the working condition type is the supporting vehicle working condition, the controller sets the supporting vehicle action flag bit, and when it is identified that the supporting vehicle action flag bit is set, the controller calculates the flow demand according to the amplitude of the current handle signal, the controller adjusts the main pump displacement, and outputs oil to the rod cavity of the boom oil cylinder through the oil pump, so that the boom mainly exerts force to control the supporting vehicle of the excavator. Otherwise, only the main valve of the oil cylinder is controlled to be opened, so that the rod cavity and the rodless cavity of the oil cylinder are connected, the oil pump maintains the minimum displacement, so that the hydraulic oil in the rodless cavity of the boom oil cylinder partially enters the rod cavity, at this time the boom relies on the weight to descend, the stick mainly exerts force, the bucket pushes forward, and the positive digging operation is performed. Even if the user gives a larger handle operation signal for the boom to descend, the machine will not perform the supporting vehicle action. Through the scheme provided in the embodiment of the application, the supporting vehicle is no longer only determined by the pressure signal, but is analyzed according to the handle operation signal of the user, so that the supporting vehicle control is realized according to the intention of the operator, and the occurrence of the accidental supporting vehicle condition is avoided.

[0031] In some optional embodiments, the step S103 comprises:

[0032] Step a1, analyzing the operation sequence of different operations in the handle operation signal and the operation time corresponding to each operation.

[0033] Step a2, identifying the operation intention according to the operation sequence and the operation time.

[0034] Step a3, when the operation intention is the supporting vehicle intention, determining that the working condition type is the supporting vehicle working condition.

[0035] Step a4, when the operation intention is the positive digging intention, determining that the working condition type is the digging working condition.

[0036] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application provides an operation signal analysis method for quickly identifying the operation intention of a user. For the operation of the user, the handle operation signal mainly includes the lifting and lowering signals of the boom, the lifting and lowering signals of the stick, the action signal of the bucket, the rotation signal of the cab, etc. For the backhoe excavator, different working condition types correspond to different operation sequences of the handle of the user and different action times. Based on this, the embodiment defines the operation signal sequence corresponding to the trucking working condition and the excavating working condition respectively and the time when each operation signal takes effect, so as to obtain the predefined operation rule. In actual application, the handle operation signal is acquired, the operation sequence of various operations and the operation time corresponding to each operation in the handle operation signal are analyzed, then the actual operation sequence and the actual operation time are matched with the predefined operation rule, it is judged which predefined rule and time in the operation rule the actual operation sequence and the actual operation time correspond to, so that the operation intention of the user is determined to be the trucking intention or the backhoe intention according to the matching relationship, and then the working condition type of the backhoe excavator is attributed to the corresponding type according to the intention, so that the quick and accurate judgment of the working condition type is realized, and then the trucking or backhoe control strategy is adopted according to the corresponding working condition type, so as to avoid the problem that the trucking working condition and the excavating working condition are confused only according to the pressure threshold detection of the trucking working condition.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, step a2 comprises:

[0038] Step a21, judging whether the signal sequence included in the handle operation signal is a preset sequence of the boom lowering signal, the stick lowering signal and the bucket action signal;

[0039] Step a22, when the signal sequence is the preset sequence, respectively judging whether the first interval time and the second interval time correspond to fall within the first preset time range and the second preset time range, the first interval time being the interval time of the appearance of the boom lowering signal and the appearance of the stick lowering signal, and the second interval time being the interval time of the appearance of the stick lowering signal and the appearance of the bucket action signal;

[0040] Step a23, when the first interval time and the second interval time both correspond to fall within the first preset time range and the second preset time range, determining that the operation intention is the backhoe intention;

[0041] Step a24, when the operation intention is not the backhoe intention, determining that it is the trucking intention.

[0042] Specifically, in order to further improve the recognition accuracy of the positive shovel intention and the support vehicle intention, considering that the operation rule of the support vehicle intention is difficult to grasp, the signal analysis for the support vehicle intention is more complex. The operation sequence of the boom lowering, the stick lowering and the bucket action is defined for representing the sequence of the positive shovel intention, and the time interval of the three operation signals of the boom lowering, the stick lowering and the bucket action needs to be within the corresponding preset range time. In other words, when the controller of the positive shovel excavator detects the boom lowering signal, it is judged whether the next signal is the stick lowering signal, when the sequence is consistent, it is continued to judge whether the first time interval of the stick lowering signal and the boom lowering signal is within the first preset time range. If the condition is also met, it is continued to judge whether the next signal is the bucket action signal, indicating that the bucket performs the digging action, when the sequence is also consistent, it is continued to judge whether the second time interval of the bucket action signal and the stick lowering signal is within the second preset time range, if the above conditions are all met, it indicates that the operation intention of the user is the positive shovel intention, and as long as the above signals do not meet the detection conditions of the positive shovel intention, the user operation is regarded as the support vehicle intention, thereby the accuracy of the positive shovel intention recognition can be significantly improved. When the user wants to perform normal digging operation, it is ensured that the controller will not misoperate the excavator to support the vehicle.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the step S103 comprises:

[0044] Step b1, inputting the handle operation signal into a preset recognition model, the recognition model being a neural network model pre-trained by a plurality of operation signal samples representing the positive shovel and a plurality of operation signal samples representing the support vehicle;

[0045] Step b2, when the recognition model outputs the support vehicle intention, determining that the working condition type is the support vehicle working condition;

[0046] Step b3, when the recognition model outputs the positive shovel intention, determining that the working condition type is the digging working condition.

[0047] Specifically, the embodiment of the present application also provides a method for recognizing actual operation intention of a user based on a big data model, specifically, a large number of operation signal samples are prepared in advance, the operation signal samples representing the positive shovel and a large number of operation signal samples representing the support vehicle are obtained by manual labeling of the user, a neural network model is trained by the samples, the neural network model parameters are adjusted, and a recognition model is obtained. When the rodless cavity pressure is greater than a preset pressure threshold, the obtained handle operation signal is input into the recognition model, and then a classification result is output, so as to determine whether the actual operation intention of the user is the support vehicle intention or the positive shovel intention. The intention recognition by the big data method can significantly improve the accuracy of the intention recognition. Compared with the method for recognizing the intention according to the operation sequence of the signal and the operation time corresponding to each operation, the model recognizes the intention more accurately, but the complexity of the model training is higher, and the implementation process is complex. Therefore, in actual application, the embodiment of the present application can flexibly select between the neural network model method and the operation sequence discrimination method according to the efficiency requirement of the user for the function deployment.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the step S102 comprises:

[0049] Step c1, obtaining the original handle operation signal;

[0050] Step c2, filtering the handle operation signal by a preset handle signal dead zone to obtain a filtered handle operation signal.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, in order to further improve the accuracy of the handle operation signal, the embodiment presets the handle signal dead zone, that is, when the amplitude of the handle signal is small and falls within the handle signal dead zone, the handle signal is considered to be not generated. By filtering the handle operation signal by the preset handle signal dead zone, the micro-motion handle signal generated by the user's accidental touch of the handle is eliminated, which can significantly avoid the adverse effect of the user's accidental touch of the handle on the actual operation intention of the user.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the boom and the stick of the positive shovel excavator are also provided with a posture sensor, and the boom support vehicle control method provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises:

[0053] Step d1, obtaining a posture signal of the posture sensor, the posture signal being used to represent the action direction and the action amplitude of the boom and the stick of the positive shovel excavator;

[0054] Step d2, verifying the working condition type recognized by the handle operation signal according to the posture signal.

[0055] Specifically, in some optional embodiments, the embodiment of the present application further deploys a posture sensor, such as a gyroscope, on the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator, so as to detect the deflection angle and deflection distance of the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator, to measure the action direction and action amplitude of the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator. By presetting the action angle range and action amplitude range corresponding to the digging working condition, it is verified whether the boom and stick of the backhoe excavator move within the preset range, and if so, the verification passes, otherwise, the verification fails. It can further verify whether the working condition type identified according to the handle operation signal is correct, realize the auxiliary identification function, further improve the accuracy of the working condition type identification, reduce the misjudgment, and reduce the confusion problem that the controller executes the backhoe operation as the support vehicle operation.
