[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] The object information involved in this application, including but not limited to the object device information, object personal information, etc., and data, including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc., are all information and data authorized by the object or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data must comply with the laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the indoor and outdoor automatic speed limit control method for an electric forklift provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:

[0041] S101: Acquire driving control instruction information; the driving control instruction information is set at the entrance and exit of the indoor environment, and includes speed limit parameters in the indoor environment;

[0042] S102: Calculating the relative running trajectory of the forklift according to the receiving angle and the receiving distance of the driving control instruction information;

[0043] S103: If the relative running trajectory of the forklift is from outdoors to indoors, the motor controller of the electric forklift is regulated according to the maximum driving speed indoors to ensure that the electric forklift meets the maximum speed limit corresponding to the speed limit parameter when passing through the entrance and exit.

[0044] This embodiment is applied to electric forklifts, and the indoor and outdoor environments in which it is applied include driving in indoor environments, driving from outdoor to indoor, driving from indoor to outdoor, and driving in outdoor environments. In indoor environments, in order to ensure driving and transportation safety, the driving speed is usually low. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the speed of the electric forklift.

[0045] The driving control instruction information can be obtained during or before the electric forklift is driven, and the driving control instruction information at least includes the speed limit parameter in the indoor environment. It should be noted that the maximum indoor driving speed can be set by those skilled in the art according to the application scenario of the specific indoor environment. For example, different maximum indoor driving speeds can be used according to different time periods, or different maximum indoor driving speeds can be used for different warehouse indoor environments.

[0046] In addition, the specific indication method of the driving control indication information is not limited here. It can be a static identification, and the corresponding electric forklift can obtain the information contained therein by identifying the static identification. It can also be a signal broadcasting method, and the corresponding electric forklift can obtain the driving control identification signal by receiving the broadcast signal. In order to realize the forklift speed control process in the indoor environment, it can be set at the entrance and exit of the indoor environment and the outdoor environment. For example, electronic equipment (such as speakers, etc.) or fixed tag units are set at the entrance and exit. Fixed tag units play an important role in warehouse management and can be used in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The broadcast distance and broadcast angle of the fixed tag unit are not limited here, and can be adjusted by selecting different types of fixed tag units in the art. For example, a feasible fixed tag unit can be installed at the door of the warehouse, and the broadcast distance can be 10 meters and the broadcast angle is 120°. The bisector of the broadcast angle can be the dividing line between the indoor environment and the outdoor environment, so that the electric forklift can be detected from the outdoor to the indoor and from the indoor to the outdoor application scenarios at the same time, and it is not necessary to set multiple fixed tag units for each indoor environment, saving material costs.

[0047] Thereafter, during the driving process of the electric forklift, especially when driving from outdoor to indoor and from indoor to outdoor, the angle and distance relative to the driving control instruction information will change. Therefore, the relative running trajectory of the forklift can be calculated based on the receiving angle and receiving distance of the driving control instruction information. At this time, positive and negative angles can be set for the receiving angle. For example, the boundary between the indoor environment and the outdoor environment can be used as the boundary. The positive and negative values ​​of the receiving angle can be used to determine whether the electric forklift is driving from outdoor to indoor or from indoor to outdoor, thereby calculating the relative running trajectory of the forklift. There is no limitation on how to determine the receiving angle and the receiving distance. The electric forklift can be positioned. Since the position of the driving control instruction information is fixed, the receiving angle and the receiving distance between the electric forklift and the driving control instruction information can be determined by positioning the electric forklift. There is no limitation on the positioning method used here. In a feasible implementation, UWB AOA (Ultra Wide Band Angle of Arrival) positioning technology can be used. It is a high-precision positioning method based on UWB technology. The signal source position is determined by measuring the angle at which the driving control instruction information reaches the electric forklift. In the UWB system, multiple receiving antenna arrays are usually used to achieve accurate measurement of the signal arrival angle.

[0048] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The running trajectory calculation schematic diagram provided in the embodiment of the present application uses a fixed tag as a feasible driving control indication information. The running trajectory calculation is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the distance traveled by the electric forklift from point A to point B within the set time period is for:

[0049] ;

[0050] LA represents the distance from point A to the fixed label, and LB represents the distance from point B to the fixed label. Represents the change in angle between two times, It can also be used to determine the running direction.

[0051] Since wireless positioning signals may be interfered with, resulting in errors in judgment, it is necessary to The positioning information is compared with the integrated distance of the vehicle speed during the time period. If it is less than the set error, the positioning information is considered valid.

[0052] In a feasible implementation, the relative running trajectory of the electric forklift can be verified according to the motor speed of the electric forklift. Specifically, the following steps can be included:

[0053] The first step is to obtain the motor speed of the electric forklift and determine the forklift speed corresponding to the motor speed;

[0054] Step 2: performing integral calculation according to the forklift speed to calculate a first travel distance of the electric forklift within a set time period;

[0055] Step 3: calculating a second driving distance of the electric forklift according to a difference in receiving distances and a difference in receiving angles of the driving control instruction information received by the electric forklift successively before and after the set time period;

[0056] Step 4: If the difference between the first driving distance and the second driving distance is less than a set threshold, it is confirmed that the relative running trajectory of the forklift is correct.

[0057] The threshold value is not limited here and can be set by those skilled in the art. If the difference between the first driving distance and the second driving distance is not less than the set threshold, it can be determined that the positioning information of the electric forklift is abnormal, and the electric forklift is repositioned using a positioning algorithm combined with an ultra-wideband angle of arrival until the difference between the first driving distance and the second driving distance is less than the set threshold, and it can be confirmed that the positioning of the electric forklift is accurate.

[0058] In addition, the driving direction of the electric forklift can also be determined according to the difference in receiving distances and receiving angles of the driving control instruction information received by the electric forklift before and after the set time period. The driving direction includes driving from outdoor to indoor and from indoor to outdoor. Since there is usually no significant fluctuation in the speed limit of the electric forklift when driving completely in an indoor environment, the change in driving direction when driving indoors is not considered.

[0059] Since speed limit and speed increase both have a process, the judgment and execution points for entering and leaving the room will be different.

[0060] When it is detected that the forklift is entering from the outdoors to the indoors, the speed limit can be set in advance. Following the above example, when the angle between the electric forklift and the fixed tag is greater than 15 degrees, the speed limit command is executed to ensure that the speed of the electric forklift is reduced after entering the indoor environment. When it is detected that the electric forklift is driving from the indoor environment to the outdoor environment, the speed limit command is canceled when the electric forklift reaches the door, that is, when the angle between the electric forklift and the fixed tag is less than 60 degrees.

[0061] After acquiring the driving control instruction information, the embodiment of the present application calculates the relative running trajectory of the electric forklift according to the receiving angle and the receiving distance, so that when the electric forklift drives from the outdoor environment into the indoor environment, the motor controller of the electric forklift is regulated according to the driving control instruction information to ensure that the maximum speed limit is met, so that when the electric forklift enters the warehouse and other environments, the speed of the area can be automatically regulated, thereby improving the control safety of the electric forklift.

[0062] In a feasible implementation, the driving control instruction information may also include a forklift lifting limit parameter. After calculating the relative running trajectory of the forklift according to the receiving angle and receiving distance of the driving control instruction information, and the driving direction of the electric forklift is from indoors to outdoors, the relative angle between the electric forklift and the electronic device can also be obtained in real time. When the relative angle is greater than a first set angle, the driving speed limit of the electric forklift and the forklift lifting limit corresponding to the forklift lifting limit parameter are released.

[0063] Similarly, if the electric forklift is traveling from outside to outside, the forklift should be controlled according to the forklift lifting limit parameters. The forklift lifting limit parameters may include lifting speed and / or maximum lifting height.

[0064] In order to better understand the indoor and outdoor automatic speed limit control method for electric forklifts provided by the present application, a specific application process of the present application is described below:

[0065] This application can set a tag at the warehouse door, and the electric forklift equipped with a receiving unit can realize the speed limit and height limit information inside the warehouse. After the forklift enters the warehouse, it can automatically execute the above restrictions without human control, which can greatly improve the safety of the electric forklift. Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the indoor and outdoor automatic speed limit control principle of an electric forklift provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 In the example, the operation process of the present application is described by taking the modular structure of an electric forklift as an example, and the fixed tag unit is used as the specific form of the driving control instruction information, and the fixed tag power supply supplies power to the fixed tag unit to ensure that it is in a working state. The driving control instruction information includes speed limit parameters in indoor environments and forklift lifting limit parameters, such as the maximum indoor walking speed, the maximum lifting speed, and the maximum lifting height.

[0066] The electric forklift is equipped with a vehicle controller for controlling the electric forklift, which includes an on-board signal receiving unit for receiving the driving control instruction information broadcast by the fixed tag unit and sending it to the vehicle controller via serial port communication.

[0067] After that, the vehicle controller can receive lifting instructions and travel instructions, and send corresponding control instructions to the lifting motor driver for directly controlling the lifting motor to ensure that its operation meets the lifting limit parameters of the forklift. At the same time, the control instructions are also sent to the travel motor driver to control the travel motor. The travel motor feeds back the motor speed to the travel motor driver, which further feeds back the forklift speed to the vehicle controller to verify the position of the electric forklift, thereby verifying the relative running trajectory of the forklift.

[0068] In addition, the vehicle controller can also control the display unit to display the speed limit parameters and forklift lifting limit parameters currently followed in the indoor environment, and can also change the limit status of the two limit parameters according to the movement state or forklift positioning of the electric forklift.
