[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] The object information involved in this application, including but not limited to object device information, object personal information, and data, including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, and displayed data, are all information and data authorized by the object or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use and processing of related data shall comply with the laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.
[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an indoor / outdoor automatic speed limiting control method for electric forklifts provided in an embodiment of this application. The method includes:
[0041] S101: Obtain driving control instruction information; the driving control instruction information is located at the entrance and exit of the indoor environment and includes speed limit parameters in the indoor environment;
[0042] S102: Calculate the relative running trajectory of the forklift based on the receiving angle and receiving distance of the driving control instruction information;
[0043] S103: If the relative running trajectory of the forklift is from outdoors to indoors, adjust the motor controller of the electric forklift according to the maximum indoor driving speed to ensure that the electric forklift meets the maximum speed limit corresponding to the speed limit parameter when passing through the entrance / exit.
[0044] This embodiment applies to electric forklifts, and the indoor and outdoor environments covered include driving entirely indoors, driving from outdoors into indoors, driving from indoors to outdoors, and driving entirely outdoors. In indoor environments, to ensure safe transportation, the driving speed is usually lower. Therefore, it is necessary to implement speed limiting control for electric forklifts.
[0045] Driving control instruction information can be obtained during or before the electric forklift is in motion. This driving control instruction information includes at least the speed limit parameters for 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 specific application scenario of the indoor environment. For example, different maximum indoor driving speeds can be used for different time periods, or different maximum indoor driving speeds can be used for different warehouse indoor environments.
[0046] Furthermore, the specific method of indicating the driving control information is not limited here. It can be a static sign, and the corresponding electric forklift can obtain the information it contains by recognizing the static sign. Alternatively, it can be a signal broadcast method, and the corresponding electric forklift can obtain the driving control recognition signal by receiving the broadcast signal. To realize the forklift speed control process in an indoor environment, it can be set up at the entrances and exits of both indoor and outdoor environments. For example, electronic devices (such as speakers) or fixed tag units can be installed at the entrances and exits. 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 units are not limited here and can be adjusted by selecting different types of fixed tag units. For example, a feasible fixed tag unit can be installed at the warehouse entrance, with a broadcast distance of 10 meters and a broadcast angle of 120°. The angle bisector of this broadcast angle can be the boundary line between the indoor and outdoor environments, thus simultaneously detecting both scenarios of the electric forklift entering from outdoors and traveling from indoors to outdoors, eliminating the need to set up multiple fixed tag units for each indoor environment and saving material costs.
[0047] Subsequently, during the operation of the electric forklift, especially when moving from outdoors to indoors and from indoors to outdoors, its 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 distance of the driving control instruction information. At this time, positive and negative angles can be set for the receiving angle, for example, using the boundary line between the indoor and outdoor environments as the boundary. The positive or negative value of the receiving angle can then determine whether the electric forklift is moving from outdoors to indoors or from indoors to outdoors, thus calculating the forklift's relative running trajectory. There is no limitation on how the receiving angle and distance are determined here; the electric forklift can be positioned. Since the position of the driving control instruction information remains 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. The specific positioning method used is not limited here. One feasible implementation is to employ UWB AOA (Ultra Wide Band Angle of Arrival) positioning technology, a high-precision positioning method based on UWB technology. This method determines the location of the signal source by measuring the angle at which the driving control instruction information arrives at the electric forklift. In UWB systems, multiple receiving antenna arrays are typically used to accurately measure the signal arrival angle.
[0048] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the trajectory calculation provided in the embodiments of this application. A fixed tag is used as a feasible driving control indication information. The trajectory calculation is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, within a set time period, the electric forklift travels from point A to point B, covering a distance of [distance not specified]. 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. This represents the change in angle between two measurements. It can also be used to determine the direction of movement.
[0051] Because wireless positioning signals can be interfered with, leading to incorrect judgments, it is necessary to... The distance is compared with the integral of the vehicle speed over that time period. If the distance is less than the set error, the positioning information is considered valid.
[0052] In one feasible implementation, the relative running trajectory of the forklift can be verified based on the motor speed of the electric forklift. Specifically, this may include the following steps:
[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] The second step is to perform an integral calculation based on the forklift speed to calculate the first travel distance of the electric forklift within a set time period.
[0055] Third step: Calculate the second travel distance of the electric forklift based on the difference in receiving distance and the difference in receiving angle when the electric forklift receives the driving control instruction information before and after the set time period;
[0056] Fourth step: If the difference between the first travel distance and the second travel distance is less than a set threshold, confirm 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 travel distance and the second travel distance is not less than the set threshold value, it can be determined that the positioning information of the electric forklift is abnormal. The electric forklift is then repositioned using a positioning algorithm that combines ultra-wideband angle of arrival until the difference between the first travel distance and the second travel distance is less than the set threshold value, which confirms that the positioning of the electric forklift is accurate.
[0058] Furthermore, the driving direction of the electric forklift can be determined based on the difference in receiving distance and angle between the forklift receiving the driving control instruction information before and after the set time period. The driving direction includes driving from outdoors into indoors and driving from indoors to outdoors. Since the speed limit of the electric forklift typically does not fluctuate significantly when driving entirely indoors, changes in driving direction during indoor driving are not considered.
[0059] Since both speed limiting and acceleration involve a process, the judgment execution points for entering and exiting indoors will be different.
[0060] When a forklift is detected entering from outdoors, a speed limit can be applied in advance. Continuing the example, for instance, when the angle between the electric forklift and the fixed label is greater than 15 degrees, the speed limit command is executed to ensure the forklift's speed has decreased after entering the indoor environment. When the forklift is detected moving from indoors to outdoors, the speed limit command is lifted when the forklift reaches the doorway, i.e., when the angle between the forklift and the fixed label is less than 60 degrees.
[0061] In this embodiment, after obtaining driving control instruction information, the relative running trajectory of the electric forklift is calculated based on the receiving angle and receiving distance. Thus, when the electric forklift moves from an outdoor environment to an indoor environment, the motor controller of the electric forklift is adjusted according to the driving control instruction information to ensure that the maximum speed limit is met. This enables automatic speed control of the electric forklift when entering environments such as warehouses, thereby improving the control safety of the electric forklift.
[0062] In one feasible implementation, the driving control instruction information may further include instructions for forklift lifting limit parameters. After calculating the relative running trajectory of the forklift based on the receiving angle and receiving distance of the driving control instruction information, and assuming the electric forklift is traveling from indoors to outdoors, the relative angle between the electric forklift and the electronic device may also be acquired 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 parameters are released.
[0063] Similarly, if the electric forklift is traveling from outdoors into outdoors, the forklift should be controlled according to the forklift lifting limit parameters. These lifting limit parameters may include lifting speed and / or maximum lifting height, etc.
[0064] To better understand the indoor and outdoor automatic speed limiting control method for electric forklifts provided in this application, a specific application process of this application is described below:
[0065] This application allows for the installation of a tag at the warehouse entrance. Electric forklifts equipped with receiving units can then automatically enforce speed and height restrictions inside the warehouse, without human intervention, significantly improving the safety of electric forklifts. See also: Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of automatic speed limiting control for electric forklifts both indoors and outdoors, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This paper uses the modular structure of an electric forklift as an example to illustrate the operation process of this application. A fixed tag unit is used as the specific representation of the driving control instruction information. The fixed tag unit is powered by a fixed tag power supply to ensure it is in working condition. The driving control instruction information includes speed limit parameters and forklift lifting limit parameters in the indoor environment, such as the maximum indoor travel speed, maximum lifting speed, and maximum lifting height.
[0066] The electric forklift is equipped with a vehicle controller for managing the electric forklift. It includes an on-board signal receiving unit for receiving driving control instructions broadcast by the fixed tag unit and sending them to the vehicle controller via serial communication.
[0067] Subsequently, the vehicle controller receives lifting and traveling commands and issues corresponding control commands to the lifting motor driver, which directly controls the lifting motor, ensuring that its operation meets the forklift lifting limit parameters. Simultaneously, control commands are also issued to the traveling motor driver to control the traveling motor. The traveling motor feeds back its speed to the traveling motor driver, which in turn feeds back the forklift speed to the vehicle controller for position verification of the electric forklift, thereby verifying the forklift's relative travel trajectory.
[0068] In addition, the vehicle controller can also control the display unit to display the speed limit parameters and forklift lifting limit parameters under the current indoor environment, and can also change the limit status of the two limit parameters according to the movement status or positioning of the electric forklift.
