[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 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] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an active vibration damping control method for a loader working device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be executed by the active vibration damping control system of the loader working device, and includes:

[0049] Step S110: Obtain the operating parameters of the loader's working device, including rodless chamber pressure and bucket lifting height;

[0050] Specifically, the loader's working device is applied to the loader to perform tasks such as digging, bulldozing, lifting, and loading / unloading. A loader may include a working device, a traveling device, an engine, a transmission system, a steering and braking system, a hydraulic system, an operating system, and auxiliary systems. The working device includes, for example, a boom, a rocker arm, a bucket, and connecting rods. The boom includes corresponding rodless and rod-mounted chambers. The rodless chamber pressure and the bucket lifting height are important operating parameters of the loader's working device, reflecting its actual operating status. For example, the operating parameters of the loader's working device can be acquired by sensors and subsequently used to analyze whether active damping needs to be triggered.

[0051] Step S120: Determine whether to trigger active damping based on the operating parameters and the corresponding reference values;

[0052] Specifically, the reference values ​​corresponding to the operating parameters are the operating parameters of the loader's working device when it is operating smoothly. These reference values ​​can be pre-stored in the active damping control system of the loader's working device, or they can be automatically updated each time the active damping control system is activated (this will be explained later). The operating parameters are compared with the reference values. If the operating parameters do not meet the preset conditions (this will be explained later), it indicates that the operation is smooth, or that the active damping function is not activated, and therefore active damping is not triggered. Conversely, if the operating parameters meet the preset conditions, it indicates that the operation is not smooth, thus triggering active damping.

[0053] In step S130, if active damping is triggered, the current compensation value is determined based on the bucket lifting height and the corresponding reference value, and the current of the loader boom action solenoid valve is determined based on the rodless chamber pressure and the current compensation value.

[0054] Specifically, triggering active damping includes triggering upper damping and triggering lower damping. Lower damping is triggered when the rodless chamber pressure is high, and upper damping is triggered when the rodless chamber pressure is low. Different damping modes output current to different boom action solenoid valves. During the actual operation of the loader's working device, the rodless chamber pressure changes, and the bucket lifting height also changes due to active damping. In this embodiment, the bucket lifting height is used to compensate for the current of the boom action solenoid valve. This also avoids the problem of inaccurate current and slow damping response caused by solely using the rodless chamber pressure to determine the boom action solenoid valve current.

[0055] Furthermore, as can be seen from the above analysis, in this embodiment, the active damping control method does not require an accumulator to execute, but is instead controlled by electronic control for logical judgment and control; and the boom action solenoid valve and the modules required for electronic control are inherent in the loader, so there is no need to add an accumulator and a matching solenoid valve, thus not increasing the cost of the loader; at the same time, the use of electronic control also has the advantages of fast response speed and can effectively solve the problem of material spillage.

[0056] The technical solution of this embodiment employs an active vibration damping control method for a loader's working device, which includes: acquiring the operating parameters of the loader's working device, including the rodless chamber pressure and the bucket lifting height; determining whether to trigger active vibration damping based on the operating parameters and their corresponding reference values; if active vibration damping is triggered, determining a current compensation value based on the bucket lifting height and its corresponding reference value, and determining the current of the loader's boom actuation solenoid valve based on the rodless chamber pressure and the current compensation value. This embodiment uses an electronically controlled approach for active vibration damping, eliminating the need for an accumulator, thus reducing the cost of the active vibration damping control system and improving response speed. Furthermore, using the bucket lifting height to compensate for the current of the boom actuation solenoid valve improves the accuracy of the valve's current, further enhancing response speed. Simultaneously, the electronically controlled approach also offers greater adaptability and a higher level of intelligence.

[0057] Optionally, obtaining the operating parameters of the loader's working device includes: collecting the rodless chamber pressure using a rodless chamber pressure sensor at a first preset cycle, collecting the boom angle using a boom angle sensor at a first preset cycle, and determining the bucket lifting height based on the boom angle.

[0058] Specifically, the first preset cycle is, for example, the clock cycle of the active damping control system, and the rodless chamber pressure is collected once within each clock cycle. Similarly, the boom position angle sensor collects the boom angle once within each first preset cycle. The bucket lifting height and boom angle satisfy the following formula: H = K * β, where H is the bucket lifting height, β is the boom angle, and K is a coefficient related to the boom length. The value of K varies for different booms, and this embodiment does not specifically limit it. It is understood that the longer the boom, the larger the corresponding K value; the shorter the boom, the smaller the corresponding K value. In this embodiment, both the boom angle sensor and the rodless chamber pressure sensor are inherent sensors in the loader, eliminating the need for additional sensors, thus keeping the cost of the active damping control system low.

[0059] Optionally, obtaining the operating parameters of the loader's working device also includes: using the initial value of the rodless chamber pressure as a reference value corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure, and using the initial value of the bucket lifting height as a reference value for the bucket lifting height.

[0060] Specifically, when the active damping control method is executed, the rodless chamber pressure and boom angle are collected once within each first preset cycle. The rodless chamber pressure and boom angle collected within the first preset cycle are used as corresponding reference values. The active damping control method can be activated by the user. Before the loader's working device enters an unstable operating phase, the user can activate the active damping control system, thus initiating the active damping control method. That is, within the first preset cycle, the loader's working device operates in a stable state. Therefore, adjusting the current of the boom action solenoid valve based on the reference values ​​within the first preset cycle allows the active damping effect of the loader's working device to more closely resemble the stable operating state, resulting in better damping performance.

[0061] Alternatively, in some other implementations, reference values ​​can be pre-stored in the active damping control system, thereby reducing the computational load of the active damping control system.

[0062] Optionally, determining whether to trigger active damping based on operating parameters and corresponding reference values ​​includes:

[0063] The threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure is determined based on the reference value corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure, and the threshold range corresponding to the bucket lifting height is determined based on the reference value corresponding to the bucket lifting height; if the current rodless chamber pressure is outside the corresponding threshold range, and the current bucket lifting height is within the corresponding threshold range, active damping is triggered.

[0064] Specifically, the reference values ​​of operating parameters collected when the loader is working smoothly can determine the threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure and the threshold range corresponding to the bucket lifting height. For example, let P0 be the reference value corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure, then P U = (1+K) P )*P0, where P U K represents the upper limit of the threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure. P This is a correction factor related to the pressure in the rodless chamber. Correspondingly, P D = (1-K) P )*P0, where P D This represents the lower limit of the threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure. Additionally, the threshold range corresponding to the bucket lifting height can be determined by the following formula: H + = (1+K) M )*H M H - = (1-K) M )*H M Among them, H + H represents the upper limit of the threshold range for bucket lifting height.- K represents the lower limit of the threshold range for bucket lifting height. M H is the lifting height range factor. M This is the optimal lifting height for the loader's transport boom.

[0065] When the real-time rodless chamber pressure fluctuates within the threshold range, it indicates that the vibration of the loader's working device is not significant, and active damping is unnecessary, thus saving power consumption. Conversely, when the real-time rodless chamber pressure exceeds the corresponding threshold range, it indicates significant vibration, potentially requiring damping control. When the real-time bucket lifting height is within the corresponding threshold range, it indicates that the loader is operating normally, and damping can be triggered; however, when the real-time bucket lifting height is outside the threshold range, it indicates that the bucket may not be operating normally, and triggering active damping could damage the bucket. In this embodiment, damping only begins when the rodless chamber pressure exceeds the corresponding threshold range but the bucket lifting height does not, thus satisfying the aforementioned preset conditions. This achieves the damping function, saves power consumption, and prevents damage to the loader's working device.

[0066] Optionally, triggering active damping includes: if the current rodless chamber pressure is greater than the upper limit of the corresponding threshold range, triggering lower damping, and determining the current of the loader boom lowering solenoid valve based on the rodless chamber pressure and current compensation value; if the current rodless chamber pressure is less than the lower limit of the corresponding threshold range, triggering upper damping, and determining the current of the loader boom lifting solenoid valve based on the rodless chamber pressure and current compensation value.

[0067] Specifically, the loader boom actuation solenoid valve includes a loader boom lowering solenoid valve and a loader boom raising solenoid valve. The loader boom lowering solenoid valve controls the loader boom's descent, while the loader boom raising solenoid valve controls the loader boom's ascent. When the real-time rodless chamber pressure exceeds the upper limit of the corresponding threshold range, it indicates excessive rodless chamber pressure, resulting in significant upward displacement of the loader's working device, thus requiring lower damping. In this case, the calculated current for the loader boom actuation solenoid valve is the same as the current for the loader boom lowering solenoid valve. Conversely, when the real-time rodless chamber pressure is below the lower limit of the corresponding threshold range, it indicates insufficient rodless chamber pressure, resulting in significant downward displacement of the loader's working device, thus requiring upper damping. The loader boom raising solenoid valve controls the upward movement of the loader's working device, and in this case, the calculated current for the loader boom actuation solenoid valve is the same as the current for the loader boom raising solenoid valve.

[0068] Optionally, determining the compensation current based on the bucket lifting height and the corresponding reference value includes: within a second preset period, accumulating the deviation values ​​between the reference values ​​corresponding to the bucket lifting height to obtain a bucket lifting height deviation value, wherein each second preset period includes at least one consecutive first preset period; in the current first preset period, determining the current compensation value based on the bucket lifting height deviation value of the previous second preset period and the current correction coefficient.

[0069] Specifically, the first preset cycle is relatively short, and calculating the current compensation value in each first preset cycle would be labor-intensive. In this embodiment, the second preset cycle includes at least one first preset cycle, for example, five or ten first preset cycles. In each first preset cycle, the bucket lifting height H is collected, and the reference value of the bucket lifting height is calculated from the reference value of the boom angle. Let the reference value of the bucket lifting height be H. R The period of the first preset cycle is t, and the period of the second preset cycle is T. Then, the bucket lifting height deviation value ΔH within the second preset cycle is (H... R -H (1) )+(H R -H2)+…+(H R -H (T / t-1) )+(H R -H (T / t) Optionally, the initial value of ΔH is 0, meaning that the corresponding current compensation value is 0 within the first second preset cycle. After the first second preset cycle ends, due to the control of active damping, the actual value of the bucket lifting height will differ from the reference value, at which point the value of ΔH will no longer be 0; in the second second preset cycle, the current compensation value is calculated using the ΔH calculated in the first first preset cycle. It should be noted that since each second preset cycle contains at least one first preset cycle, the current compensation value is calculated using the ΔH corresponding to the previous second preset cycle in all first preset cycles within the same second preset cycle.

[0070] Optionally, determining the current of the loader boom actuation solenoid valve based on the rodless chamber pressure and current compensation value includes: determining the current of the loader boom descent solenoid valve according to the following formula: I D =K D *(PP U )+I 01 +△I U , among which, I D To supply the current to the solenoid valve for lowering the boom, K D P is the first preset coefficient. U I represents the upper limit of the threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure, where P is the current rodless chamber pressure, and I is the upper limit of the threshold range. 01 For the base current of the loading boom lowering solenoid valve, ΔIU The current compensation value is used; the current of the loader boom lifting solenoid valve is determined according to the following formula: I U =K U *(P D -P)+I 02 +△I U , among which, I U To supply the current to the solenoid valve for the boom lifting, K U P is the second preset coefficient. D I represents the lower limit of the threshold range corresponding to the rodless chamber pressure, where P is the current rodless chamber pressure, and I is the lower limit. 02 For the base current of the loading boom lifting solenoid valve, ΔI U This is the current compensation value.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first preset coefficient K D This is the compensation coefficient for the conversion of pressure into current during the lower damping process control. Its value can be determined based on tests of the loader's working device, while I... 01 The base current for the loading boom lowering solenoid valve can be determined based on the characteristics of the loading boom lowering solenoid valve. Similarly, the second preset coefficient K... U This is the compensation coefficient for the conversion of pressure into current during the shock absorption process. Its value can be determined by testing the loader's working device. 02 The base current for loading the boom lifting solenoid valve can be determined based on the characteristics of the boom lifting solenoid valve.

[0072] Optionally, the method further includes: within a preset number of first preset cycles after triggering active damping, the maximum current corresponding to the boom action solenoid valve is output by the boom action solenoid valve.

[0073] Specifically, the preset quantity is, for example, 2 or 3. When triggering the upper or lower damping, since the actual current of the loading boom solenoid valve is not a step signal, it takes a certain amount of time to build up from a smaller current to a larger current. If the current value calculated by the current compensation value and the rodless chamber pressure is output to the loading boom solenoid valve in the first preset number of preset cycles after triggering the damping, the current build-up time of the loading boom solenoid valve may be insufficient, and thus the current cannot reach the corresponding value, resulting in poor damping effect. In this embodiment, the maximum operating current is output to the loading boom solenoid valve first, so that the loading boom solenoid valve can quickly build up the current and quickly enter the working state, improving the damping effect.

[0074] Optionally, obtaining the operating parameters of the loader working device further includes: obtaining the travel speed of the loader working device, and / or obtaining the bus command signal; determining whether to trigger active damping based on the operating parameters and the corresponding reference values ​​includes: if the current rodless chamber pressure is outside the corresponding threshold range, the current bucket lifting height is within the corresponding threshold range, and the travel speed is greater than the preset speed, and / or the bus command signal is activated, then active damping is triggered.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the operating parameters include a bus command signal, active damping can only be triggered when the bus command signal is activated; otherwise, active damping cannot be triggered. The bus command signal is input by the user, for example, through a keyboard or other device within the active damping control system. The active damping control method only begins execution when the user inputs an activation bus command signal into the keyboard. When the operating parameters include travel speed, active damping can only be triggered when the travel speed exceeds a preset speed. When the travel speed is low, the displacement of the loader's working device is relatively gentle, thus active damping may not be triggered.

[0076] Optionally, Figure 2 A flowchart of another active vibration damping control method for a loader working device provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 The method includes: acquiring the rodless chamber pressure, acquiring the boom angle, acquiring the travel speed, and acquiring the bus command signal. Specifically, after acquiring the rodless chamber pressure, the signal is filtered to obtain the rodless chamber pressure P as described herein; after acquiring the boom angle, the signal is filtered to obtain the boom angle β as described herein; and after acquiring the travel speed, the signal is filtered to obtain the travel speed V as described herein. The signal filtering can be noise reduction, etc. After obtaining the rodless chamber pressure P, the initial value of the rodless chamber pressure is used as a reference value P0 and stored. After obtaining the boom angle, the actual bucket lifting height H is calculated, and the initial value of the actual bucket lifting height is used as the reference value H0 of the bucket lifting height. R and store H R After obtaining P0, according to P... U = (1+K) P P is calculated from P0. U Value, and according to P D = (1-K) P P is calculated using )*P0 D Value. Obtain H. R Then, according to H + = (1+K) M )*H M H - = (1-K) M )*H M Calculate H +and H - Determine if the driving speed V is greater than the preset speed Va, and determine if P > P. U , or P < P O Check if H- < H < H+, if V > Va, and if the bus command signal through the I / O port is enabled. If all are true, then active damping is triggered. Furthermore, in the step of triggering active damping, if P > P... U Then through I D =K D *(PP U )+I 01 +△I U Calculate the current to the loading boom lowering solenoid valve and output current to it. If P < P O Then use I U =K U *(P D -P)+I 02 +△I U Calculate the current of the loading boom lifting solenoid valve and output current to the loading boom lifting solenoid valve.

[0077] For example, Figure 3 This is a control result diagram of an active vibration damping control method for a loader working device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 3 Curve 11 represents the pressure curve of the rodless chamber in the non-damping state, i.e., without applying the active damping control method provided in this embodiment; curve 12 represents the pressure curve of the rodless chamber after applying the active damping control method provided in this embodiment; curve 13 represents the actual displacement curve of the loader's working device; curve 14 represents the current curve of the loader's boom lowering solenoid valve; and curve 15 represents the current curve of the loader's boom lifting solenoid valve. Figure 3 It can be seen that the active damping control method in this embodiment can make the actual displacement of the loader working device more stable, that is, it has a good damping effect.

[0078] This invention also provides an active vibration damping control system for a loader's working device, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the active damping control system for a loader working device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The active damping control system includes: a hydraulic module, a sensing module, and an electronic control module; the sensing module is electrically connected to the electronic control module, and is used to acquire the operating parameters of the loader working device; the electronic control module is used to determine whether to trigger active damping based on the operating parameters and the corresponding reference values; the electronic control module is also used to determine a current compensation value based on the bucket lifting height and the corresponding reference value when active damping is triggered, and to determine the current of the loader boom actuation solenoid valve based on the rodless chamber pressure and the current compensation value; the hydraulic module is electrically connected to the electronic control module and is used to control the boom movement of the loader in response to the current of the loader boom actuation solenoid valve.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sensing module includes a rodless chamber pressure sensor 4 and a boom position angle sensor 3.
