Figure 1-Figure 3 , this embodiment provides a working device and a loader.

[0057] The loader comprises a cab body 10, a transfer device 20, a loader chassis 30, and the working device provided in this embodiment. The transfer device 20 is disposed at the bottom of the cab body 10 and is configured to drive the cab body 10 to move. The working device is disposed at the front end of the cab body 10 and is configured to shovel, lift, and transfer materials.

[0058] Specifically, the working device includes a working bucket 100, a lifting mechanism 200, a bucket rotating mechanism 300, a drive system 400, and a fixed bracket 500. The fixed bracket 500 is arranged at the front end of the cab body 10 and is used as an installation reference for the working bucket 100, the lifting mechanism 200, the bucket rotating mechanism 300, etc. The working bucket 100 is configured to shovel materials. The lifting mechanism 200 is connected between the working bucket 100 and the fixed bracket 500 and is configured to lift the working bucket 100. The bucket rotating mechanism 300 is connected between the working bucket 100 and the fixed bracket 500 and is configured to rotate the working bucket 100. A portion of the drive system 400 is arranged on the loader chassis 30 and is configured to drive the bucket rotating mechanism 300 to operate and drive the lifting mechanism 200 to operate.

[0059] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The bucket rotating mechanism 300 includes an actuator 310 and a push rod 320. The push rod 320 is coaxially mounted on the actuator 310, and its two ends are capable of extending out of the actuator 310. One end of the push rod 320 is a first rotating connection end 321, which is rotatably mounted on the first upper hinge portion 510 of the fixed bracket 500. The other end of the push rod 320 is a second rotating connection end 322, which is connected to the working bucket 100 via a rocker arm 610 and a connecting rod 620 that are rotatably connected to each other. The push rod 320 moves along the axial direction of the actuator 310, driving the rocker arm 610 and the connecting rod 620 to rotate, thereby driving the working bucket 100 to rotate. The actuator 310 can specifically be an electromechanical linear actuator, which is a conventional technology. Its structure and principle are not described in detail in this embodiment. Through the above settings, it is possible to adapt to bucket rotation operations with lower loads, ensure the normal rotation of the working bucket 100, avoid the problem of serious overflow loss during the rotation control of the working bucket 100 using a hydraulic system, and avoid energy waste.

[0060] Specifically, the bucket mechanism 300 further includes a reducer 330 and a screw transmission mechanism, both of which are integrated into the actuator 310. A portion of the drive system 400 transmits power to the screw transmission mechanism through the reducer 330, thereby controlling the extension and retraction of the push rod 320.

[0061] Preferably, the bucket rotating mechanisms 300 are arranged in pairs and move synchronously, which can ensure the support performance of the working bucket 100 and ensure the stability and reliability of the working bucket 100 when rotating.

[0062] Continue to refer to Figure 1-Figure 3The lifting mechanism 200 includes a lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 and a lifting cylinder rod 220. The lifting cylinder rod 220 is disposed within the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 and extends unidirectionally from the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210. Its lifting rotation connection end 221 is rotatably connected to the boom 700 via the boom hinge 710, and is then connected to the working bucket 100 through the boom 700. The bottom of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is hinged to the lower hinge 520 of the fixed bracket 500. The ends of the boom 700 are rotatably connected to the second upper hinge 530 of the fixed bracket 500 and the working bucket 100, respectively. The center of the rocker arm 610 is rotatably connected to the side of the boom 700. The interior of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is connected to a portion of the drive system 400, which supplies hydraulic oil to the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210.

[0063] Specifically, the lifting mechanisms 200 are arranged in pairs and move synchronously, which can ensure the support performance of the working bucket 100 and ensure the stability and reliability of the working bucket 100 when it is lifted or lowered.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 The drive system 400 includes a bucket electric drive subsystem 410, a lifting hydraulic drive subsystem 420, and an oil replenishment subsystem 430.

[0065] The drive system 400 also includes an electrically connected power supply 440 and a driver 450. The bucket electric drive subsystem 410 includes a bucket motor 411. The bucket motor 411 is mounted on the loader chassis 30 and is electrically connected to the bucket mechanism 300 and the driver 450, and is also connected to the reducer 330. The driver 450 controls the bucket motor 411, which drives the bucket mechanism 300 to rotate via the reducer 330 and the screw transmission mechanism. The power supply 440 is configured to provide electrical energy to the driver 450.

[0066] The lift hydraulic drive subsystem 420 is configured to supply hydraulic oil to the lift hydraulic cylinder 210 and includes a lift hydraulic pump 421, a lift motor 426, and an oil tank 422. The lift motor 426 is mounted on the loader chassis 30, connected to the lift hydraulic pump 421, and communicatively connected to the driver 450, enabling operation of the lift hydraulic pump 421. The first and second oil discharge ports 4211, 4212 of the lift hydraulic pump 421 are connected to the rod chamber and rodless chamber of the lift hydraulic cylinder 210, respectively. The lift hydraulic pump 421 is configured to pressurize the oil from the oil tank 422 to form hydraulic oil, which is then supplied to the lift hydraulic cylinder 210.

[0067] Specifically, an overflow assembly 423 is provided between the first oil circuit between the first oil discharge port 4211 and the rod chamber, and the second oil circuit between the second oil discharge port 4212 and the rodless chamber.

The overflow assembly 423 specifically includes a first overflow valve 4231 and a second overflow valve 4232, which are connected in parallel between the first and second oil circuits and are arranged opposite each other.

[0068] More specifically, the lift hydraulic drive subsystem 420 also includes an accumulator 424. The accumulator 424 is connected to the third oil discharge port 4213 of the lift hydraulic pump 421 and to the lift hydraulic cylinder 210. The accumulator 424 can temporarily store excess hydraulic oil in the lift hydraulic pump 421 and supply it to the lift hydraulic cylinder 210. The accumulator 424 is preferably a bladder-type accumulator integrated with a flow sensor for real-time flow monitoring of the accumulator 424.

[0069] More specifically, a first one-way valve 427 is provided on the oil path between the accumulator 424 and the oil tank 422 . The first one-way valve 427 is configured to prevent the hydraulic oil in the accumulator 424 from flowing back to the oil tank 422 .

[0070] More specifically, the accumulator 424 is selected based on the maximum and minimum pressures of the rod chamber and the rodless chamber of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210. The capacity of the accumulator 424 is calculated as follows:

[0071]

[0072] 0.8p2≤p0≤0.85p2,

[0073] Among them, V0 is the inflation volume; ΔV is the volume of oil required to be released during operation, which is generally a known empirical value; p0 is the pre-charge pressure; p1 is the maximum pressure during operation, which can be obtained based on experience and the data of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210; p2 is the minimum pressure during operation, which can also be obtained based on experience and the data of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210; n is a variable index, whose value is determined by the working conditions of the gas, and n = 1.25 is generally recommended.

[0074] More specifically, a speed regulating valve 425 is provided between the third oil discharge port 4213 and the accumulator 424 . The speed regulating valve 425 can regulate the flow of the hydraulic oil from the lifting hydraulic pump 421 to the accumulator 424 .

It is capable of controlling the operation of the oil replenishment hydraulic pump 431. The oil replenishment hydraulic pump 431 is connected to the oil tank 422 and the third oil discharge port 4213. It should be noted that during the oil replenishment process, the third oil discharge port 4213 can serve as the oil inlet of the lift hydraulic pump 421. The oil replenishment hydraulic pump 431 is configured to pump oil from the oil tank 422 to the lift hydraulic pump 421.

[0076] Specifically, the oil replenishment subsystem 430 further includes an oil replenishment relief valve 433 . The oil replenishment relief valve 433 is disposed between the oil replenishment hydraulic pump 431 and the oil tank 422 and is configured to guide excess hydraulic oil flowing out of the oil replenishment hydraulic pump 431 to the oil tank 422 .

[0077] More specifically, the drive system 400 further includes a second one-way valve 461 and a third one-way valve 462. The second one-way valve 461 is disposed between the first oil circuit and the oil tank 422 to prevent the hydraulic oil in the first oil circuit from flowing back into the oil tank 422. The third one-way valve 462 is disposed between the second oil circuit and the oil tank 422 to prevent the hydraulic oil in the second oil circuit from flowing back into the oil tank 422.

[0078] This embodiment also provides a working device control method. The working device control method is performed based on the working device provided in this embodiment. The working device control method includes the following steps:

[0079] S10 , obtaining a displacement error of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 , where the displacement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is the relative displacement between the lifting cylinder rod 220 and the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 .

[0080] Specifically, the actual displacement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is obtained through a displacement sensor integrated on the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 , and the theoretical displacement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is obtained through a mechanism model. The displacement error = actual displacement - theoretical displacement.

[0081] Specifically, step S10 includes the following steps:

[0082] S11. Obtain the flow rate of the lifting hydraulic pump 421. The theoretical speed of the lifting motor 426 is obtained using a speed sensor integrated into the lifting motor 426. The flow rate of the lifting hydraulic pump 421 is equal to the product of the theoretical speed of the lifting motor 426 and the displacement of the lifting hydraulic pump 421. The displacement of the lifting hydraulic pump 421 is known.

[0083] S12. Then, the theoretical displacement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 is calculated and obtained. The calculation method is as follows:

[0084] When the lifting cylinder rod 220 is extended:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, s tl (t i ) is the theoretical displacement when the lifting cylinder rod 220 is extended; q tsl (t i ) is the flow rate of the lifting hydraulic pump 421; A1 is the effective shaft cross-sectional area of ​​the rodless cavity of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210; n tl (t i ) is the theoretical speed of the lifting motor 426; V ts is the displacement of the lifting hydraulic pump 421.

[0087] When the lifting cylinder rod 220 is retracted:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, s tl (t i ) is the theoretical displacement when the lifting cylinder rod 220 is extended; q tsl (t i ) is the flow rate of the lifting hydraulic pump 421; A2 is the effective shaft cross-sectional area of ​​the rod cavity of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210; n tl (t i ) is the theoretical speed of the lifting motor 426; V ts is the displacement of the lifting hydraulic pump 421.

[0090] S20, identifying the working state of the accumulator 424. When the actual flow rate of the accumulator 424 is less than the flow rate threshold, proceed to steps S30 and S40 in sequence; otherwise, proceed directly to step S40.

[0091] S30. By adjusting the opening of the speed regulating valve 425, the flow rate of the hydraulic oil from the lifting hydraulic pump 421 to the accumulator 424 is adjusted so that the flow rate of the third oil discharge port 4213 of the lifting hydraulic pump 421 and the flow rate of the first oil discharge port 4211 satisfy the following relationship:

[0092] q ben3 (t i )≤μ·q ben1 (t i ),

[0093] μ=0.6~0.8,

[0094] Among them, q ben3 (t i )≤ is the flow rate of the third oil outlet 4213; q ben1 (t i ) is the flow rate of the first oil discharge port 4211.

[0095] S40 , obtaining the speed adjustment value of the lifting motor 426 . If the speed adjustment value is less than or equal to the lifting speed adjustment threshold, then proceed to S50 and S60 in sequence; otherwise, proceed to S70 .

[0096] Specifically,

[0097] The speed adjustment value of the lifting motor 426 is obtained according to the feedback control law of the feedback controller in the lifting hydraulic drive subsystem 420. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0098] Δn tl (t i )=μ·f jszs (w1e sts (t i )+w2q ben3 (t i )),

[0099] Among them, Δn tl (t i ) is the speed adjustment value of the lifting motor 426; f jszs (·) is the feedback control law of the feedback controller; w1 and w2 are weighting factors, w1+w2=1; e sts (t i ) and q ben3 (t i ) are respectively the normalized values ​​of the displacement error of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 210 and the flow rate of the third oil outlet 4213, and the calculation method thereof is the prior art and will not be described in detail in this embodiment:
