[0053] See also Figure 4 In high energy consumption mode, the battery pack 7 and the super capacitor 5 jointly output power. When SOCL <SOC Lsub When SOC C <SOC Csub When the power energy of the supercapacitor 5 is exhausted, the control module controls the alarm device 10 to issue an early warning; of course, in the high energy consumption mode, the high temperature protection of the single battery 6 is not considered.

[0054] In the operation mode, the battery pack 7 is first driven alone, and when the SOC L <SOC Lsub When SOC C <SOC Csub When the power energy of the super capacitor 5 is exhausted, the control module controls the alarm device 10 to issue an early warning.

[0055] Preferably, the driving unit 2 includes a synchronous reluctance motor 17, a driving wheel 18, a hydraulic brake unit 19 and a pressure sensor 20, and also includes a braking recovery mode set for the monorail crane locomotive, and the braking recovery mode includes smooth working condition braking and complex working condition braking.

[0056] The stable working condition braking is when the monorail crane locomotive is running steadily on the horizontal track. The monorail crane locomotive can slow down slowly, send a braking signal during braking, and control the synchronous reluctance motor 17 to generate negative torque to achieve braking and energy recovery.

[0057] In the case of complex braking conditions such as downhill, curve or emergency braking, the laser radar sensor 15 scans the road conditions in front of the monorail locomotive, and the control module collects and processes the information of the laser radar sensor 15. When the presence of a damper, foreign objects or personnel in front of the monorail locomotive is detected, the battery pack 7 and the supercapacitor 5 stop outputting to the synchronous reluctance motor 17. The control module calculates the expected braking distance and the recovered potential energy and kinetic energy according to the current speed of the monorail locomotive, the weight of the monorail locomotive and the slope inclination, thereby calculating the torque required for braking and realizing the distribution of hydraulic and motor reverse braking. The distribution method is as follows:

[0058] The pressure sensor 20 is installed on the hydraulic brake unit 19, and the control unit calculates and controls the brake pressure of the hydraulic brake unit 19 through the sensed value of the pressure sensor 20. The residual braking force is achieved by controlling the synchronous reluctance motor 17 to generate negative torque to achieve braking and energy recovery. This energy recovery method has less friction and wear on the brake shoe on the hydraulic brake unit 19 and can effectively recover excess kinetic energy or potential energy during downhill braking.

[0059] The energy generated by the reverse rotation of the synchronous reluctance motor 17 is converted into electrical energy, which is first reversely charged to the battery pack 7 via the inverter. L >SOC LupWhen SOC is 0, the battery pack 7 stops charging, and the remaining energy is used to charge the super capacitor 5 through the DC / DC converter. C >SOC Cup When the load is discharged, the excess energy is consumed.

[0060] After the battery management system determines that the operating mode is a high-energy consumption mode, it reallocates the power output of the battery pack 7 and the supercapacitor 5, thereby controlling the locomotive running speed to avoid instantaneous large fluctuations in the power of the battery pack 7; fuzzy control based on the fruit fly optimization algorithm is used to allocate the power output of the composite power supply.

[0061] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
