Description

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of excavators, and in particular to an excavator control method and system based on an electric auxiliary supercharging device, and an excavator. Background Art

[0002] The boosting capacity of conventional turbochargers is limited by exhaust airflow. When an excavator is operating in low gear, the engine speed is low, exhaust airflow is minimal, and the turbocharger speed is low. This results in poor transient response, poor acceleration, insufficient torque, and high fuel consumption in the low-speed range. Existing technologies have addressed this issue by optimizing the engine combustion process, improving the fuel injection system, and employing VGT superchargers and dual-supercharger systems. However, these solutions still cannot completely resolve the supercharger hysteresis issue.

[0003] Existing excavator engines take a long time to respond after receiving feedback, relying solely on the engine's own response, failing to coordinate with the entire supporting machine. Furthermore, at high speeds, excess exhaust energy is discharged into the atmosphere through a bypass valve, resulting in excessive energy loss and low energy utilization.

[0004] Therefore, a control method, system and excavator based on an electric-assisted supercharging device are provided, which can improve the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and supercharging device, thereby helping to improve the control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the excavator to the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0082] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0083] The present invention discloses an excavator control method, system, and excavator based on an electrically assisted supercharging device. When the excavator is started, the control method and system can obtain the current engine operating parameters, first curve parameters, and second curve parameters of the auxiliary motor, and determine whether the current engine power parameters meet preset power conditions.

These are described in detail below.

[0084] Example 1

[0085] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling an excavator based on an electric auxiliary supercharging device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The excavator control method based on the electric-assisted supercharging device described can be applied to an excavator control system based on the electric-assisted supercharging device. The excavator control system can be applied to excavators (for example, hydraulic excavators, mechanical excavators, etc.), and the excavator control system can at least include an excavator control module, an engine control module, an electric-assisted supercharging device and a power storage device, and the electric-assisted supercharging device can be used to perform intake supercharging on the cylinders in the engine, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the excavator control method based on the electric auxiliary supercharging device may include the following operations:

[0086] 101. When the excavator is started, the excavator control system obtains the current engine operating parameters, the first curve parameters, and the second curve parameters of the auxiliary motor.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, Figure 7As shown, the excavator control system may include an excavator control module (excavator ECM), an engine control module (engine ECM), an electric auxiliary supercharging device and a storage device. The type of the engine may be a diesel electronically controlled engine, etc. The operating parameters of the engine may at least include the actual intake flow, required intake flow, power parameters and boost pressure parameters of the current engine. The operating parameters may be collected through the engine control module, wherein the electric auxiliary supercharging device may be used to perform intake supercharging on the cylinders in the engine, and the electric auxiliary supercharging device may include: an auxiliary motor (M) and a supercharger (for example: a turbocharger), the supercharger may include: a turbine device and a compressor device, the engine control module controls the auxiliary motor by sending a power intervention signal, the auxiliary motor is used to adjust the intake flow of the supercharger for supercharging the engine, and the power parameters may include: the current engine speed parameter and torque parameter. Furthermore, the required intake flow rate is a real-time changing value calculated from the real-time speed and real-time load rate of the engine. The first curve parameter of the engine is represented by its torque-speed relationship curve, and the second curve parameter of the auxiliary motor is represented by its power-speed relationship curve. The first curve parameter and the second curve parameter are obtained through bench testing.

[0088] In this way, when the excavator is started, the excavator control system obtains the current engine operating parameters, the first curve parameters and the second curve parameters of the auxiliary motor, so as to subsequently compare the actual intake flow of the engine with the required intake flow, and control the supercharging device and the engine according to the comparison results. This can improve the excavator's response control performance to the built-in engine and supercharging device, thereby helping to improve the excavator's control efficiency and energy utilization of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0089] 102. The excavator control system determines whether the current power parameters of the engine meet the preset power conditions. When it is determined that the current power parameters of the engine meet the preset power conditions, the operation of step 103 may be executed.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the power parameters can be expressed as real-time speed parameters and real-time torque parameters corresponding to the engine in the current working gear of the excavator, and the preset power conditions can be expressed as preset speed thresholds and preset torque thresholds corresponding to the engine in the current working gear of the excavator, and the preset speed thresholds and preset torque thresholds are respectively the maximum speed and maximum torque corresponding to the working gear.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the excavator control system determines whether the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions. When it is determined that the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions, the excavator control system determines whether the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate, which may include:

[0092] The excavator control module in the excavator control system determines whether a current engine speed parameter is greater than a preset speed threshold or whether a torque parameter is greater than a preset torque threshold.

[0093] When it is determined that the current engine speed parameter is greater than a preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is greater than a preset torque threshold, the excavator control module determines whether the actual intake air flow is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow.

[0094] The speed threshold may be set according to the high-speed gear of different types of excavators. For example, the speed of the high-speed gear of a diesel electronically controlled excavator is 1450 rpm.

[0095] In this way, the excavator control system determines whether the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions. When the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions, the actual intake flow rate is compared with the required intake flow rate to adjust the supercharger's boost air flow to the engine according to the comparison results, which is beneficial to improving the machine's control efficiency and energy utilization of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0096] 103. The excavator control system determines whether the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate. When it is determined that the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate, the operation of step 104 can be executed.

[0097] In this way, by judging whether the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, when it is judged that the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, the impulse generated by the excess exhaust flow discharged by the engine can be used to drive the rotor components in the auxiliary motor to rotate, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device, thereby reducing the energy loss caused by the excess gas discharged, improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device, and thus helping to improve the excavator's control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0098] 104. The excavator control system switches the working mode of the auxiliary motor to the power generation mode, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present invention, the excavator control system switches the working mode of the auxiliary motor to the power generation mode so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device, which may include:

[0100] The excavator control module in the excavator control system controls the operation of cutting off the power supply to the auxiliary motor.

[0101] The excavator control module controls the supercharger to collect excess exhaust flow discharged by the engine, and uses the impulse generated by the excess exhaust flow to drive the rotor components in the auxiliary motor to rotate, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device.

[0102] In this way, when it is determined that the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, the excavator control system controls the supercharger to collect the exhaust flow discharged by the engine, and uses the impulse generated by the exhaust flow to drive the rotor components in the auxiliary motor to rotate, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device, thereby reducing the energy loss caused by the excess gas discharged, improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device, and thus helping to improve the excavator's control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0103] In an optional embodiment, after performing the operation of step 102, the method may further include the following operations:

[0104] When it is determined that the current engine speed parameter is not greater than the preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is not greater than the preset torque threshold, the excavator control module in the excavator control system calculates according to the first curve parameter, the second curve parameter and the required intake flow rate to obtain the target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjusts the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters so that the auxiliary motor increases the intake flow rate of the supercharger for supercharging the engine.

[0105] The operating parameters of the auxiliary motor include the speed parameters and / or output power of the auxiliary motor.

[0106] In this optional embodiment, optionally, after adjusting the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters, the method further includes the following operations:

[0107] The excavator control system obtains the intake air flow after the supercharger boosts the engine.

[0108] The excavator control system adjusts the engine's fuel injection rate based on target operating parameters and the supercharged intake air flow.

[0109] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can calculate according to the first curve parameter, the second curve parameter and the required intake flow rate when the excavator control system determines that the current engine speed parameter is not greater than the preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is not greater than the preset torque threshold, and obtain the target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjust the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters so that the auxiliary motor increases the intake flow rate of the supercharger for engine supercharging, and adjusts the engine's fuel injection amount, thereby improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device and the power of the engine, which is beneficial to improving the excavator's response control performance to the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0110] In another optional embodiment, after performing the operation of step 103, the method may further include the following operations:

[0111] When it is determined that the actual intake flow rate is less than the required intake flow rate, the excavator control module in the excavator control system calculates according to the first curve parameters, the second curve parameters and the required intake flow rate to obtain target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjusts the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters so that the auxiliary motor increases the intake flow rate of the supercharger for boosting the engine.

[0113] The excavator control system obtains the intake air flow after the supercharger boosts the engine.

[0114] The excavator control system adjusts the engine's fuel injection rate based on target operating parameters and the supercharged intake air flow.

[0115] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can calculate according to the first curve parameters, the second curve parameters and the required intake flow rate when the excavator control system determines that the actual intake flow rate is less than the required intake flow rate, and obtain the target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjust the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters, so that the auxiliary motor can increase the intake flow rate of the supercharger for engine supercharging, and adjust the fuel injection amount of the engine, thereby improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device and the power of the engine, which is beneficial to improving the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and the supercharging device.

[0116] In yet another optional embodiment, after executing step 104, the method may further include the following operations:

[0117] The excavator control system determines whether it is necessary to power the excavator's electronic control modules (for example, the instrument display module, lighting module, communication module, refrigeration module, etc. in the excavator).

[0118] When it is determined that the electric control module of the excavator needs to be powered, the excavator control system controls the power storage device to power the electric control module.

[0119] Furthermore, when the auxiliary motor is in the power generation mode, the excavator control system determines whether the power value of the power storage device is greater than or equal to a preset power threshold (for example, 99%).

[0120] When it is determined that the power value of the storage device is greater than or equal to the preset power threshold, the excavator control system controls the auxiliary motor to directly power the excavator's electronic control module, or the excavator control system switches the power generation mode of the auxiliary motor to a stop state.

[0121] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can determine whether it is necessary to power the electronic control module of the excavator. When it is necessary to power the electronic control module of the excavator, it controls the power storage device to power the electronic control module. It can also determine whether the power storage device is close to full charge. When it is close to full charge, it can control the auxiliary motor to directly power the electronic control module of the excavator, or switch the power generation mode of the auxiliary motor to a stopped state.

[0123] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a flow chart of an excavator control method based on an electric-assisted supercharging device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a method for controlling an excavator based on an electric auxiliary supercharging device disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The excavator control method based on the electric-assisted supercharging device described can be applied to an excavator control system based on the electric-assisted supercharging device. The excavator control system can be applied to excavators (for example, hydraulic excavators, mechanical excavators, etc.), and the excavator control system can at least include an excavator control module, an engine control module, an electric-assisted supercharging device and a power storage device, and the electric-assisted supercharging device can be used to perform intake supercharging on the cylinders in the engine, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the excavator control method based on the electric auxiliary supercharging device may include the following operations:

[0124] 201. When the excavator is started, the excavator control system obtains the current engine operating parameters, first curve parameters, and second curve parameters of the auxiliary motor.

[0125] 202. The excavator control system determines whether the current power parameters of the engine meet the preset power conditions. When it is determined that the current power parameters of the engine meet the preset power conditions, the operation of step 203 can be executed.

[0126] 203. The excavator control system obtains the speed parameters of the current engine in a plurality of preset time intervals, and calculates the load change rate of the engine in each time interval based on the speed parameters in each time interval.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present invention, the excavator control system calculates the load change rate of the engine at each interval according to the speed parameter at each interval in a specific manner as follows:

[0128] The engine control module in the excavator control system constructs a speed parameter-time curve based on the speed parameter at each interval. The derivative of this curve is then derived, representing the real-time engine speed change rate. This real-time speed change rate is then determined as the engine load change rate at each interval. Furthermore, this real-time speed change rate is proportional to the load change rate. A positive engine load change rate indicates that the excavator's gear is increasing and the excavator is in a loaded state. A negative engine load change rate indicates that the excavator's gear is decreasing and the excavator is in a reduced load state.

[0129] 204. The excavator control system determines whether the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to a preset load rate change rate threshold. When the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load rate change rate threshold, the operation of step 205 may be executed.

[0130] In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the preset load change rate threshold is a positive number. When the load change rate is less than the preset load change rate threshold, the operation of step 203 may be re-executed.

[0131] 205. The excavator control system determines whether the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate. When it is determined that the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate, the operation of step 206 can be executed.

[0132] 206. The excavator control system switches the working mode of the auxiliary motor to the power generation mode, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present invention, for other descriptions of steps 201-202 and steps 205-206, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101-104 in the first embodiment, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.

[0134] It can be seen that the implementation of the embodiment of the present invention can, after the excavator control system determines that the power parameters of the current engine meet the preset power conditions, calculate the load change rate of the engine at each interval based on the speed parameters at each interval, and determine whether the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold. When the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold, determine whether the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, so as to determine the real-time working status of the excavator according to the engine load condition of the excavator, and thereby intelligently adjust the engine boost according to the real-time working status of the excavator, which is beneficial to improving the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and the boost device, as well as improving the control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the excavator to the built-in engine and the boost device.

[0135] It can be seen that implementation Figure 2 The described excavator control method based on the electric auxiliary supercharging device can obtain the current engine operating parameters when the excavator is started, and determine whether the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions. When the power parameters meet the preset power conditions, it determines whether the actual intake air flow is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow. When the actual intake air flow is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow, the working mode of the auxiliary motor is switched to the power generation mode, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device, so as to reduce the energy loss caused by the exhaust of excess gas and improve the working efficiency of the supercharging device; and when the excavator control system determines that the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions, the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device, so as to reduce the energy loss caused by the exhaust of excess gas and improve the working efficiency of the supercharging device. After the condition is met, the load change rate of the engine in each interval is calculated according to the speed parameter in each interval, and it is judged whether the load change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold. When the load change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold, it is judged whether the actual intake air flow is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow, so as to determine the real-time working state of the excavator according to the engine load condition of the excavator, and thus make intelligent adjustments to the engine boost according to the real-time working state of the excavator, which is conducive to improving the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and the boost device, as well as improving the control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the excavator to the built-in engine and the boost device.

[0139] The judgment module 302 is used to judge whether the power parameters of the current engine obtained by the acquisition module 301 meet the preset power conditions; when it is judged that the power parameters of the current engine meet the preset power conditions, it is judged whether the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate.

[0140] The switching module 303 is used to switch the working mode of the auxiliary motor to the power generation mode when the judgment module 302 judges that the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, so that the auxiliary motor generates electricity and stores the electricity in the power storage device.

When the actual intake flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake flow rate, the working mode of the auxiliary motor is switched to the power generation mode, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device, so as to reduce the energy loss caused by the exhaust of excess gas, improve the working efficiency of the supercharging device, and thereby improve the excavator's control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0144] The excavator control system determines whether the current engine speed parameter is greater than a preset speed threshold or whether the torque parameter is greater than a preset torque threshold.

[0145] When it is determined that the current engine speed parameter is greater than a preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is greater than a preset torque threshold, the excavator control system determines whether the actual intake air flow is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow.

[0146] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric-assisted supercharging device can determine whether the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions. When the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions, the actual intake flow rate is compared with the required intake flow rate to adjust the supercharger's boost air flow rate to the engine according to the comparison results, thereby helping to improve the machine's control efficiency and energy utilization of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0153] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric auxiliary supercharging device can, when it is judged that the current engine speed parameter is not greater than the preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is not greater than the preset torque threshold, or when it is judged that the actual intake flow rate is less than the required intake flow rate, calculate according to the first curve parameter, the second curve parameter and the required intake flow rate to obtain the target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjust the operating parameters of the auxiliary motor according to the target operating parameters so that the auxiliary motor increases the intake flow rate of the supercharger for supercharging the engine, thereby improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device and the power of the engine, which is beneficial to improving the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0154] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes:

[0155] The acquisition module 301 is further configured to acquire the speed parameters of the current engine within a plurality of preset intervals before the determination module 302 determines whether the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate.

[0156] The second calculation module 306 is further configured to calculate the load change rate of the engine at each interval according to the speed parameter at each interval acquired by the acquisition module 301 .

[0158] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric-assisted supercharging device can, after determining that the current engine power parameters meet the preset power conditions, calculate the load change rate of the engine in each interval based on the speed parameters in each interval, and determine whether the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold. When the load rate change rate is greater than or equal to the preset load change rate threshold, determine whether the actual intake air flow rate is greater than or equal to the required intake air flow rate, so as to determine the real-time working status of the excavator according to the engine load condition of the excavator, and thus intelligently adjust the engine supercharging according to the real-time working status of the excavator, which is beneficial to improving the response control performance of the excavator to the built-in engine and supercharging device, as well as improving the control efficiency and energy utilization rate of the excavator to the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0162] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric-assisted supercharging device can, when it is determined that the current engine speed parameter is not greater than the preset speed threshold or the torque parameter is not greater than the preset torque threshold, calculate according to the first curve parameter, the second curve parameter and the required intake flow rate to obtain the target operating parameters that match the output power required by the engine, and adjust the engine's fuel injection amount according to the target operating parameters and the intake flow rate after the engine is supercharged, thereby improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device and the power of the engine, which is beneficial to improving the excavator's response control performance to the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0163] In another optional embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the switching module 303 switches the working mode of the auxiliary motor to the power generation mode, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device in the following specific manners:

[0164] Controls the operation of cutting off the power supply to the auxiliary motor.

[0165] The supercharger is controlled to collect excess exhaust gas flow discharged by the engine, and the excess exhaust gas flow is used to drive the auxiliary motor, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the power storage device.

[0166] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric auxiliary supercharging device can control the supercharger to collect the exhaust flow discharged by the engine when it is judged that the actual intake flow is greater than or equal to the required intake flow, and use the impulse generated by the exhaust flow to drive the rotor components in the auxiliary motor to rotate, so that the auxiliary motor generates electrical energy and stores the electrical energy in the storage device, thereby reducing the energy loss caused by the excess gas discharged, improving the working efficiency of the supercharging device, and thus helping to improve the excavator's control efficiency and energy utilization of the built-in engine and supercharging device.

[0173] It can be seen that implementation Figure 4 The described excavator control system based on the electric auxiliary boosting device can determine whether the excavator's electronic control module needs to be powered. When the excavator's electronic control module needs to be powered, it controls the power storage device to power the electronic control module. It can also determine whether the power storage device is close to full charge.
