Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of jacking type rail transport vehicles, in particular to a control system, method and device for multi-point jacking of a transport vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The rail transporter uses a lifting cylinder to lift the platform during transportation. The purpose of lifting is to transport the workpiece on the platform to different heights. Due to the large size of the platform and the need to set up multiple cylinders for lifting, the height of the cylinder lifting is affected by factors such as the installation height of the cylinder, resulting in poor stability and synchronization during the lifting of the existing platform, and the platform cannot be lifted to the predetermined height. Due to the existence of the above shortcomings, the lifting stability and synchronization of the existing rail transporter are poor, and the transporter cannot meet the actual process flow. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a control system, method and device for multi-point lifting of a transport vehicle, which can use a rope encoder to transmit the cylinder height information, and the proportional valve is set with an initial analog value, and the analog value is increased or decreased according to the difference between the current height of the cylinder and the average height, so that the proportional valve controls the three-point distributed cylinders for leveling and synchronous and stable lifting.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a multi-point lifting device for a transport vehicle of the present invention comprises a frame, a lifting platform is arranged on the frame, a plurality of groups of lifting cylinders are arranged at the bottom of the frame, four lifting cylinders are arranged in one group, a push rod of the lifting cylinder is fixed to the lifting platform, a proportional hydraulic station is arranged on the frame, the proportional hydraulic station is connected to the lifting cylinder through a pipeline and a proportional valve, two of the lifting cylinders are connected in parallel, and form a three-point lifting layout with the other two lifting cylinders.

[0005] According to a further technical solution, a group of the lifting cylinders also includes a three-way valve, the three-way valve is connected to two of the lifting cylinders, and the other end of the three-way valve is connected to the proportional hydraulic station.

[0006] A control system for a multi-point lifting device of a transport vehicle also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the proportional hydraulic station and the proportional valve, and also includes a pull-rope encoder, which is installed and fixed on the frame. The pull rope of the pull-rope encoder passes through the frame and is fixedly connected to the lifting platform. The average height is calculated based on the data returned by the pull-rope encoder, and then the height difference is obtained by subtracting the average height from the height of a single cylinder. The height of each point is judged by the height difference, the opening of the proportional valve is adjusted, and the flow is controlled to participate in leveling.

[0007] According to a further technical solution, the number of rope encoders is the same as the number of proportional valves.

[0008] A method for multi-point lifting using a control system of a multi-point lifting device of a transport vehicle: in the first step, the proportional valve switching and flow control are controlled by analog quantity of current, the analog quantity value corresponds to a current input value range and a median value, when the median analog value is input, it represents the current of the median value input, the proportional valve is in a closed state, when the input is greater than the median current, the oil cylinder can be controlled to rise, when the input is less than the median current, the oil cylinder can be controlled to fall, the initial value of the analog quantity for controlling the oil cylinder to rise is set to A1, and the initial value of the analog quantity for falling is set to A2;

[0009] The second step is to obtain the height H of a single lifting cylinder based on the data returned by the pull rope encoder, and use H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6...H n They represent the height of the lifting cylinder fed back by the pull-wire encoder, and the average height is calculated:

[0010]

[0011] The height difference of each lifting cylinder:

[0012] ΔH=Hh

[0013] The third step is to use the analog quantity to control the proportional valve. According to the maximum flow limit of the hydraulic system, the constant X of the proportional valve is formulated. By adding or subtracting the adjustment value S from the analog quantity, the proportional valve opening is controlled.

[0014] Step 4: If 0.3mm<ΔH<0.5mm, If ΔH ≥ 0.5 mm, S = X;

[0015] When rising, if 0>ΔH, the analog value a=A1+S; if 0<ΔH, the analog value a=A1-S;

[0016] When decreasing, if 0>ΔH, the analog value a=A2+S; if 0<ΔH, the analog value a=A2-S;

[0017] In the fifth step, the proportional valve rises or falls according to the analog value in step five to achieve the leveling function.

[0018] Further technical solution, if the single-turn resolution of the rope encoder is B, the length of one turn is C, and the current resolution value of the rope encoder is D, then the height of the lifting cylinder

[0019] A further technical solution is as follows: B=8192, C=100mm, the proportional valve switching and flow control are controlled by the 4-20mA analog control, corresponding to the value 819-4095; the median value is 2457, when the output current is 12mA, the proportional valve is in a closed state; when it is greater than 12mA (analog value>2457), the oil cylinder is controlled to rise; when it is less than 12mA (analog value<2457), the oil cylinder is controlled to descend; adjust the value to change the opening of the proportional valve and control the flow.

[0020] According to a further technical solution, the initial value of the rising analog quantity of the cylinder in the parallel oil circuit needs to be added 300 to the preset value, and the initial value of the rising analog quantity of the cylinder in the parallel oil circuit needs to be subtracted 300 from the preset value.

[0021] According to a further technical solution, for the oil cylinders at 1, 2, 5 and 6, the initial value A1 of the rising analog quantity is set to 3200, and the initial value A2 of the descending analog quantity is set to 1700; for the oil cylinders at 3 and 4, the initial value A1 of the rising analog quantity is set to 3500, and the initial value A2 of the descending analog quantity is set to 1400.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Two of the lifting cylinders are connected in parallel by utilizing the three-way valve, so that the oil circuit pressures of the two lifting cylinders are the same, the extension and retraction heights are synchronized, and a three-point lifting structure is formed with the other two lifting cylinders. The three points determine a plane to synchronously lift the lifting platform. The initial value of the rising analog value of the cylinders in the parallel oil circuit needs to be added to the preset value, and the initial value of the rising analog value of the cylinders in the parallel oil circuit needs to be subtracted from the preset value to achieve better control function.

[0023] 2. The controller obtains the lifting height through the rope encoder, calculates the average height based on the data returned by the six rope encoders, and then subtracts the average height from the height of a single cylinder to obtain the height difference. The height difference is used to determine the height of each point, adjust the opening of the proportional valve, and control the flow to participate in leveling.

[0024] 3. Use analog quantity to control the proportional valve. According to the maximum flow limit of the hydraulic system, the constant X of the proportional valve is formulated. By adding or subtracting the adjustment value S from the analog quantity, the opening of the proportional valve is controlled to realize the leveling function, so that the lifting and lowering of each part of the lifting platform during the lifting process is more accurate.
