[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0033] S110 : In response to a power-on operation of a target loader, obtain shovel loading state description information of the target loader.

[0034] The shoveling state description information includes at least one of the following: a preset initial boom height, a target boom height, a set load value, a target bucket angle, and a discharge boom height.

[0035] Furthermore, the preset initial boom height refers to the initial position height of the boom manually set before the loader starts working; the target boom height refers to the target position height that the boom needs to reach during the operation of the loader; the target bucket retraction angle refers to the bucket retraction angle that the bucket needs to reach during the operation of the loader; the unloading boom height refers to the height that the boom needs to reach during the unloading process of the loader.

[0036] S120 , detecting the current working condition in real time, and determining the current shoveling stage of the target loader according to the current working condition and the shoveling state description information.

[0037] Specifically, according to the current working condition and the shoveling state description information, the current shoveling stage of the target loader is determined, including any of the following items: when it is detected that the boom height of the target loader under the current working condition is greater than or equal to the standard boom height and less than the target boom height, and the current load is less than the set load value, the current shoveling stage is determined to be the shoveling preparation stage; when it is detected that the boom height of the target loader under the current working condition is less than the standard boom height, and the bucket retraction angle is less than the target retraction angle, the current shoveling stage is determined to be the target shoveling stage; when it is detected that the bucket retraction angle of the target loader under the current working condition is greater than or equal to the target retraction angle, the current load is greater than or equal to the set load value, and the boom height is less than the target boom height, the current shoveling stage is determined to be the boom lifting stage; when it is detected that the boom height of the target loader under the current working condition is greater than or equal to the target boom height, and the current load is greater than or equal to the set load value, the current shoveling stage is determined to be the unloading stage.

[0038] Furthermore, the shoveling preparation stage refers to the need for the loader to adjust the bucket to a suitable position before starting shoveling, preparing for the shoveling operation; the target shoveling stage refers to the loader inserting the bucket into the material to perform the shoveling operation; the boom lifting stage refers to the loader lifting the material in the bucket and preparing to unload it into a transport vehicle or other container; the unloading stage refers to the loader unloading the material in the bucket into a transport vehicle or other container to complete the shoveling operation.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the target loader is powered on and started, the real-time data of the target loader that matches the current working conditions are obtained in time to determine the current shoveling stage of the target loader; specifically, the specific methods for obtaining the real-time data may include: 1) sensor monitoring: using various sensors, such as position sensors, pressure sensors, tilt sensors, etc., to monitor the real-time data of the loader, such as the current boom height, material weight, and bucket retraction angle; 2) video monitoring: using a camera installed on the loader or an external monitoring device to capture the video of the shoveling process in real time for visual analysis and status judgment; 3) data recording: using the on-board computer on the loader or a special data acquisition device equipment, record relevant operating data; 4) Wireless communication: With the help of wireless communication technology, the real-time data of the loader are transmitted to the remote monitoring center or mobile device to realize remote monitoring and data analysis; 5) Manual observation: The operator or on-site staff can directly observe the shoveling action and status of the loader and record relevant information; 6) System integration: Integrate the loader's monitoring system with other engineering management systems to realize data sharing and comprehensive analysis; It should be noted that the above method of obtaining the real-time data of the target loader that matches the current working conditions can be selected, combined and adjusted by relevant staff according to the actual working conditions. This embodiment does not limit the method of obtaining real-time data.

[0040] S130: Use the target shoveling strategy that matches the current shoveling stage to control the target loader to perform shoveling operations.

[0041] Among them, the target shoveling strategy matching the current shoveling stage is used to control the target loader to perform shoveling operations, including: when the current shoveling stage is determined to be the target shoveling stage, after receiving the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user, the boom and bucket are controlled to perform the set combination action to complete the loading into the bucket; after detecting that the set combination action is completed, the preset target transport height is obtained, and the boom is controlled to be lifted to the target transport height.

[0042] In this embodiment, the user can generate a shoveling strategy execution instruction by touching a preset function button and send it to the relevant control module of the target loader; further, the shoveling strategy execution instruction can enable the target loader to start executing a shoveling operation that matches the current target shoveling strategy; further, the set combination action can be a manually pre-set movement process of the boom and bucket that matches the current working conditions, such as controlling the boom to rise while the bucket first expands the bucket retraction angle and then reduces the bucket retraction angle, etc., which can be specifically set and adjusted according to the actual working conditions. This embodiment does not limit the content of the set combination action.

[0043] Furthermore, using a target shoveling strategy that matches the current shoveling stage to control the target loader to perform shoveling operations also includes: when it is determined that the current shoveling stage is a boom lifting stage, after receiving a shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user, controlling the boom to be lifted to the target boom height.

[0044] Optionally, a target shoveling strategy that matches the current shoveling stage is used to control the target loader to perform shoveling operations, which also includes: when it is determined that the current shoveling stage is the unloading stage, after receiving the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user, the bucket is controlled to perform a preset unloading action to complete automatic unloading; after detecting that the unloading action is completed, the bucket is controlled to retract to the target retraction angle.

[0045] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention first responds to the power-on operation of the target loader to obtain the shoveling status description information of the target loader, then detects the current working condition in real time, and determines the current shoveling stage of the target loader based on the current working condition and the shoveling status description information, and finally uses the target shoveling strategy that matches the current shoveling stage to control the target loader to perform shoveling operations, thereby realizing automated shoveling control of the loader, improving the efficiency of shoveling work, and reducing manpower consumption in shoveling operations.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] Figure 2This is a flow chart of a loader shoveling control method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is refined based on the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the method of controlling the target loader to perform shoveling operations using a target shoveling strategy that matches the current shoveling stage is specifically refined.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0049] S210 : In response to a power-on operation of a target loader, obtain shovel loading state description information of the target loader.

[0050] The shoveling state description information includes at least one of the following: a preset initial boom height, a target boom height, a set load value, a target bucket angle, and a discharge boom height.

[0051] S220: Detect the current working condition in real time, and determine the current shoveling stage of the target loader based on the current working condition and the shoveling state description information.

[0052] S230: When it is determined that the current shoveling stage is the shoveling preparation stage, after receiving the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user, the boom is controlled to descend to the initial boom height, and the bucket is controlled to retract to the target retraction angle.

[0053] In this embodiment, the user can generate a loading strategy execution command by touching a preset function button and send it to the relevant control module of the target loader. Furthermore, this loading strategy execution command causes the target loader to begin loading operations that match the current target loading strategy. Specifically, if the current loading phase is determined to be the loading preparation phase, upon receiving the loading strategy execution command sent by the user, the system will control the boom to descend to the initial boom height. Simultaneously, the system will control the bucket to retract to the target retraction angle. During this phase, the boom and bucket coordinate their movements to ensure the bucket is accurately inserted into the material, preparing for subsequent loading operations.

[0054] In this embodiment, specifically, the boom is controlled to descend to the initial boom height and the bucket is controlled to be retracted to the target bucket angle, including: after receiving the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user in the process of controlling the boom to descend to the initial boom height and controlling the bucket to be retracted to the target bucket angle, the boom is controlled to stop descending and the bucket is controlled to stop retracting; after detecting that the boom stops descending and the bucket stops retracting, the boom is controlled to descend to the initial boom height in response to the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user and the bucket is controlled to be retracted to the target bucket angle.

[0055] In a specific implementation of this embodiment, while controlling the boom to descend to the initial boom height and controlling the bucket to retract to the target retracting angle, the system continuously detects the position and status of the boom and bucket to ensure that they can accurately execute the shoveling strategy execution instructions sent by the user. If a shoveling strategy execution instruction is received from the user during this process, the system will immediately control the boom to stop descending and the bucket to stop retracting. Then, the system will detect whether the boom and bucket have stopped descending and retracting. If it is detected that the boom has stopped descending and the bucket has stopped retracting, the system will respond to the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user and control the boom to descend to the initial boom height and control the bucket to retract to the target retracting angle.

[0056] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention first responds to the power-on operation of the target loader to obtain the shoveling status description information of the target loader, then detects the current working condition in real time, and determines the current shoveling stage of the target loader based on the current working condition and the shoveling status description information. Finally, when it is determined that the current shoveling stage is the shoveling preparation stage, after receiving the shoveling strategy execution instruction sent by the user, the boom is controlled to descend to the initial boom height, and the bucket is controlled to be retracted to the target retraction angle, thereby realizing automatic shoveling control of the loader, improving the efficiency of the shoveling work, and reducing the manpower consumption of the shoveling operation.
