[0152] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 The above-mentioned handheld remote control system 300 includes a handheld remote control control area 84, a liquid crystal display screen 85, a remote control host 86 and a remote control antenna 87; the handheld remote control control area 84, the liquid crystal display screen 85 and the remote control antenna 87 are respectively connected to the remote control host 86;
[0153] The handheld remote control control area 84 includes a control component, which is used to realize wireless remote control of the bulldozer;
[0154] The LCD display 85 is embedded in the handheld remote control.
[0155] In this embodiment, the handheld remote control system 300 allows the machine to be wirelessly controlled through the handheld remote control. Its main functions include: remote operation of the entire machine through the joystick and switch on the handheld remote control control area 84. These control components include: travel control handle (controls the steering and travel of the bulldozer), blade control handle (controls the lifting and tilting of the blade), ripper control handle (controls the action of the ripper), spray switch 76 (controls the vehicle-mounted spray pump 40), intake cut-off switch (controls engine intake), engine start-stop switch (starts or shuts down the engine), throttle adjustment knob (controls throttle opening and speed), gear switch (controls travel gear), travel direction switch (controls forward or backward).

The remote control host 86 processes vehicle-mounted data and issues control instructions, while the handheld remote control antenna 87 is used to receive and send remote control data.
[0156] The above-mentioned bulldozer remote control system has remote automatic fire extinguishing, manual fire extinguishing and spraying functions, which can effectively prevent the bulldozer from causing fire in firefighting or high-temperature environments; it integrates the on-board control system 100, remote control system, digital twin system and satellite positioning system to realize real-time dynamic simulation operations, and is equipped with dynamic electronic fences, anti-rollover / tilt warning and other functions, providing over-limit warning and forced shutdown protection; the unique remote engine intake cut-off device can emergency stop the machine operation when the engine shutdown function fails to ensure equipment safety; combined with a variety of imaging technologies (such as laser radar 30, millimeter wave radar 31, high-definition cameras, etc.), it realizes all-round and no-dead-angle monitoring; through the digital twin system synchronous simulation and dynamic optimization control strategy, it supports real-time upgrading of the control program; equipped with a handheld remote control, it is convenient for construction personnel to wirelessly control the machine at close range; the unique laser radar 30 protective cover design protects the laser radar 30 from damage in harsh environments such as high temperature.
[0157] In one embodiment, the bulldozer remote control system provides two remote control modes during remote control: cabin fixed remote control and handheld mobile remote control. In order to ensure reliability in special scenarios such as emergency rescue, these two modes do not rely on external networks or public networks;
[0158] Among them, in the cockpit remote control mode, the control system is implemented through a professional ad hoc network, which is equipped with an ad hoc network device 18 (CPE) on the whole machine and the remote control end. The cockpit remote control mode defaults to the default mode when the system is started. It can be achieved through the remote control mode selection switch 36. If the cockpit remote control is selected, the main controller will immediately use the cockpit control communication mode, and the handheld remote control will be invalid. By operating the cockpit remote control, the user can remotely start the machine and control the movement of the machine (forward, backward, speed gear, steering), the blade (lift, lower, tilt), and the tiller (lift, lower, turn outward, retract). Engine speed and brake control are also performed through the cockpit remote control.
[0159] In the handheld mobile remote control mode, it is mainly when the machine's movements are relatively simple, the remote control distance is not high, and on-site command is required, you can switch to the handheld remote control mode. The handheld remote control operation is to control the machine's movement, blade, ripper, engine throttle, etc. through the handheld remote control. The handheld remote control sends control commands through electrical signals, which are received and converted into CAN bus data on the whole machine end, and the control signal is sent through the vehicle-mounted main controller.
[0160] Specifically, the cockpit remote control operation details include:
[0161] The operator can remotely start the machine by operating the start switch 74, and after starting, the operator can use the travel steering electric control handle 60 to control the forward, reverse, speed gear switching, left and right steering of the machine;
[0162] Use the working blade electric control handle 61 to control the lifting, lowering, left tilt and right tilt of the blade;
[0163] The lifting and lowering of the ripper and the turning and retraction of the ripper teeth are controlled by the electric control handle 62 of the ripper;
[0164] The engine speed is adjusted by using the throttle adjustment device 73, and the deceleration brake pedal 72 realizes the deceleration and braking control of the engine;
[0165] Take the operation of the working blade electric control handle 61 as an example: when the operator adjusts the blade handle, the working blade electric control handle 61 sends the command to the remote control console controller 66 through bus communication. The remote control console controller 66 converts the command into a CAN message according to the algorithm and sends it to the remote control end CAN network transfer module 67. The remote control end CAN network transfer module 67 converts the CAN message data into a network format, transmits it to the switch 68 through the local area network, and then sends it to the vehicle control system 100 through the remote control end networking device 81. After passing through the CPE antenna 20, the data is transmitted to the networking device 18, and the networking device 18 transmits it to the network switch 25 through the network, and then passes it to the CAN network transfer module 27, and finally converted into a CAN message and sent to the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35. After processing the control instruction, the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 controls the movement of the blade through the proportional solenoid valve blade up proportional valve 53 and the blade down proportional valve 54.
[0166] Details of the handheld remote control operation include:
[0167] When the operator operates through the handheld remote control, the command is first sent to the remote control host 86, and the remote control host 86 converts the electrical signal into execution data and sends it through the remote control antenna 87.
[0168] The data is transmitted to the handheld remote control receiver 32 through the handheld remote control receiving antenna 28, and then converted into CAN bus data format and transmitted to the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35. After receiving the control signal, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 immediately outputs a control command to the blade lifting proportional valve 53 to complete the lifting action of the blade.
[0169] The control principles and data transmission methods of other components in the cockpit and handheld remote control are similar to the above description and will not be repeated here.
[0170] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system performs remote manual fire extinguishing, automatic fire extinguishing, and remote spraying, the specific process is as follows:
[0171] When the machine is operating, first select the manual or automatic fire extinguishing mode through the fire extinguishing mode switch 79. After selecting the manual mode, the user can perform the fire extinguishing operation according to the machine environment temperature, cabin temperature and fire situation displayed on the first display screen 65. After operating the emergency fire extinguishing switch 78, the remote control end CAN transfer module 67 transmits the execution command to the switch 68 through the CAN bus, converts it into a network signal, and sends it to the vehicle control system 100 through the switch 68, the remote control end networking device 81, and the CPE antenna 20 in sequence. The command data is transmitted to the CPE filter 19 through the CPE antenna 20, and then sent to the networking device 18. The networking device 18 converts the signal into a local area network signal, and converts it into a CAN bus signal through the network switch 25 and the CAN transfer module 27 and transmits it to the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35. After receiving the command, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 immediately starts the fire extinguishing electromagnetic water valve 41, so that the fire extinguishing agent in different parts of the cabin is sprayed out to extinguish the flame. In the automatic fire extinguishing mode, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 determines whether the warning high temperature value is exceeded according to the signals of the ambient temperature sensor 44 and the cabin temperature sensor 45. If exceeded, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 will output a control signal to drive the fire extinguishing agent injection valve 42 to inject the fire extinguishing agent, and at the same time drive the fire extinguishing electromagnetic water valve 41 and the sprinkler pump 40 to open the water channel of the fire water tank, and the electric water pump will spray water to achieve the effect of cooling the whole machine and extinguishing the fire. In addition, in the manual mode, the user can also operate the manual switch of the sprinkler switch 76 through the dynamic temperature prompt of the first display screen 65 to perform manual sprinkler operation.
[0172] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system performs remote emergency shutdown and emergency brake shutdown, that is, when encountering a dangerous situation, if conventional control cannot remotely shut down the engine, the following emergency functions can be used:
[0173] Emergency shutdown function: If the engine ECU communication fails and the engine cannot be shut down, an emergency shutdown command can be issued through the intake shutdown switch 77 of the remote control cockpit control system 200. After receiving the command, the remote control console controller 66 transmits the command to the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 via the CAN bus. The vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 processes and outputs a control signal to trigger the intake shut-off valve 39, so that the engine is forced to shut down.
[0174] Emergency brake stop function: When the machine needs to be stopped urgently while driving, the emergency stop command can be issued by operating the emergency stop button 75 in the remote control cockpit. After the remote control console controller 66 detects the command, it is transmitted to the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35, and the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 outputs a control signal to cut off the power to the relevant solenoid valves (working pilot valve 38, travel safety valve 48, reverse proportional valve 49, forward proportional valve 50, blade left tilt proportional valve 51, blade right tilt proportional valve 52, blade rise proportional valve 53, blade drop proportional valve 54, left steering proportional valve 55, right steering proportional valve 56), and at the same time reduce the engine speed to low idle speed to make the machine completely stationary.
[0175] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system performs the digital twin system function to realize the dynamic upgrade function of the machine working process control program, the digital twin technology is specifically used to simulate the dynamic working process of the bulldozer. Through the collection of on-board dynamic real data and the combination of the whole machine operation posture, the true restoration of the details of the mutual coordination of each system in the whole machine operation process is realized, and based on this, the optimization and upgrade of the whole machine end control program is completed, thereby improving the working efficiency of the machine. The specific implementation method is as follows:
[0176] Machine working sequence:
[0177] The receiver 1 achieves accurate positioning of the entire device by receiving antenna signals from the first GNSS antenna 2 and the second GNSS antenna 4, the positioning machine radio receiving antenna 11, and the positioning machine 5G antenna 12.
[0178] The receiver 1 receives the blade inclination sensor 21 to obtain the blade posture information, the chassis inclination sensor 22 to obtain the whole machine chassis posture, the ripper inclination sensor 23 to obtain the ripper posture, and the ripper tooth inclination sensor 24 to obtain the ripper tooth posture.
[0179] The receiver 1 transmits the above-collected positioning and attitude information to the CAN network transfer module 27 via CAN communication, and then converts it into a network signal and transmits it to the network switch 25, and finally transmits it to the networking device 18.
[0180] Dynamic environmental data collection:
[0181] The on-board multifunctional main controller 35 collects signals from the ambient temperature sensor 44, the cabin temperature sensor 45, the on-board pressure sensor 46, and the on-board sensor unit 47 to obtain dynamic environmental data when the machine is working, including ambient temperature, cabin temperature, working pressure, working oil temperature, power oil temperature, control pressure, water tank level, and fuel level.
[0182] The vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 exchanges data with the engine ECM 37 through CAN communication to obtain important parameters such as engine speed, throttle opening, torque, load rate, power curve, oil pressure and coolant temperature.
[0183] At the same time, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 obtains the working status of the travel safety valve 48, the reverse proportional valve 49, the forward proportional valve 50, the blade left tilt proportional valve 51, the blade right tilt proportional valve 52, the blade rise proportional valve 53, the blade lowering proportional valve 54, the left steering proportional valve 55, the right steering proportional valve 56, the working pilot valve 38, the fire extinguishing solenoid water valve 41, and the fire extinguishing agent injection valve 42 through real-time detection of each control port, and then obtains the current control parameter values of the machine's travel steering, blade, and tiller.
[0184] The vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 processes all collected data in a unified manner according to the internal control logic, packages and sends data packets, and transmits them to the networking device 18 through the CAN network transfer module 27 and the network switch 25.
[0185] Data transmission and display:
[0186] The networking device 18 sends the data from the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 and the receiver 1 to the remote control cabin control system 200 via the CPE antenna 20 in a network data format.
[0187] After being received by the remote-end CPE antenna 80 , the data is transmitted to the remote-end networking device 81 , the switch 68 , and finally reaches the data processing server 69 .
[0188] The data processing server 69 matches the collected whole machine working data, positioning data, and posture data with the pre-stored whole machine simulation three-dimensional model, and displays the whole machine's synchronous working posture, real-time working data, and positioning information in real time through the third display screen 71.
[0189] Optimization and upgrade:
[0190] The staff can view various operating parameters of the whole machine in real time through the third display screen 71 and conduct dynamic comparative analysis with theoretical values.
[0191] By summarizing and organizing the differences in work trends and parameters that affect work efficiency, these data are transmitted to the cloud server 83 through the Internet channel of the data processing server 69.
[0192] The R&D personnel analyze the returned data through the cloud server 83 , optimize the control program, and upload the optimized program through the cloud server 83 .
[0193] On-site staff access a specific web address through the data processing server 69 to obtain the upgraded and optimized program, and transmit it back to the on-board multi-function main controller 35 through the network to achieve dynamic optimization and upgrading of the control program.
[0194] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system realizes the blind spot monitoring function of the working process by combining high-definition cameras, surround video monitoring and laser radar 30 to simulate the digital twin of the surrounding environment, the encoder 6 obtains the on-site synchronous audio information by collecting the audio acquisition device 5, and collects several cameras to obtain high-definition image information of the front, left, right and rear of the machine. The synthesizer of the 360-degree surround host 13 uses several surround cameras for dynamic synthesis to generate a 360° dynamic image around the whole machine. The high-definition image is transmitted to the network switch 25 of the local area network through the encoder 6, and then through the networking device 18 and the CPE filter 19, and transmitted to the remote control cockpit control system 200 through the antenna. After the remote control end CPE antenna 80 receives the data, it passes through the remote control end networking device 81 and the switch 68, and finally the decoder 64 decodes the audio and video data and transmits it to the first display screen for dynamic display, realizing dynamic video monitoring of the whole machine. At night, the lighting lamp 43 provides auxiliary lighting, but the effect is still affected by visibility. Therefore, a high-precision multi-line laser radar 30 is installed on the top of the whole machine for all-round scanning to form point cloud imaging, and a 4D millimeter-wave radar 31 is configured to compensate for the distortion problem of the laser radar 30 in a smoky environment. The point cloud imaging data of the laser radar 30 and the millimeter-wave radar 31 are transmitted to the laser radar industrial computer 26 through the network for processing, and the dynamic imaging information is generated and transmitted to the network switch 25, and then transmitted to the remote control cockpit control system 200 through the local area network. The data is transmitted to the data processing server 69 through the remote control end CPE antenna 80, the remote control end networking device 81, and the switch 68, and after processing, it is sent to the second display screen 70 for real-time video display of radar point cloud imaging. In addition, video monitoring information can be dynamically stored through the hard disk burner 82 to facilitate historical data query.
[0195] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system realizes the electronic fence and anti-tilt and anti-rollover functions of the machine through the dynamic coordination of the digital twin system and radar scanning imaging, such as realizing the function of the digital twin system and the dynamic upgrade function of the machine working process control program, the whole machine position information and posture data generated by the digital twin system will be transmitted to the data processing server 69 in real time. At the same time, according to the process of realizing the blind spot monitoring function of the working process by combining the high-definition camera, the surround camera monitoring and the laser radar 30 to simulate the surrounding environment digital twin, the point cloud imaging information formed by the laser radar 30 and the 4D millimeter wave radar 31 scanning will also be transmitted to the data processing server 69 after being calculated and processed by the laser radar industrial computer 26. In this way, the real-time positioning information, posture information and environmental terrain information generated by the machine during the working process can be dynamically obtained through the data processing server 69. The data processing server 69 will perform secondary analysis and filtering on the imaging information scanned by the radar, and identify feasible construction routes in combination with the video information, and plan the dynamic machine working trajectory based on this information to form a dynamic electronic fence. When the machine exceeds this electronic fence during the actual construction process, the system will immediately issue a warning reminder.
[0196] In addition, the data processing server 69 will also dynamically analyze the collected machine posture information and the digital twin model of the whole machine to evaluate the tilt angle and tipping angle of the machine and compare them with the set warning value. If the warning value is exceeded, the data processing server 69 will immediately send an emergency stop command to the vehicle-mounted terminal. After receiving the stop command, the vehicle-mounted multifunctional main controller 35 will immediately activate the emergency braking function and perform the stop brake according to the specific process of the emergency braking stop function, thereby ensuring the safety of the machine construction.
[0197] In one embodiment, when the bulldozer remote control system controls the laser radar 30 protective cover, the industrial-grade multi-line laser radar 30 used is relatively expensive. In order to adapt to the harsh construction environment, this system is specially equipped with a laser radar 30 protective cover. The control method is briefly described as follows:
[0198] When the whole machine is working, the motor lifting controller 34 will issue a lifting command. At this time, the protective cover motors of the laser radar 30 and the millimeter-wave radar 31 will operate to drive the protective cover to rise, so that the radar can work normally. At the same time, the motor lifting controller 34 communicates with the vehicle-mounted multi-function main controller 35 through the CAN bus and the local area network to obtain the ambient temperature and cabin temperature values collected by the ambient temperature sensor 44 and the cabin temperature sensor 45. The system compares these temperature values with the internally set warning values. When the warning values are exceeded, the motor lifting controller 34 will immediately issue a descending command. In this case, the protective cover motors of the laser radar 30 and the millimeter-wave radar 31 will drive the protective cover to descend to the lowest position, thereby completely wrapping the radar and stopping it from working, achieving effective protection.
[0199] In addition, this control system also supports the control of the radar protection cover through video monitoring and remote control terminal. The control method is the same as described above and will not be repeated here.
[0200] The bulldozer remote control system mentioned above is provided with a vehicle-mounted control system 100, a remote control cabin control system 200 and a handheld remote control control system 300; the vehicle-mounted control system 100 is used for precise construction, environmental monitoring and bulldozer operation and protection coordination; the remote control cabin control system 200 provides comprehensive remote control functions, including walking, steering and operation, and is equipped with automatic fire extinguishing, manual fire extinguishing and spraying functions. The handheld remote control system 300 allows the bulldozer to be wirelessly controlled through a handheld device, including remote spraying, air intake cut-off, throttle adjustment and machine start-stop switch. Each system is interconnected through network communication to ensure efficient and safe operation of the bulldozer; it can solve the problems that the existing remote control bulldozers perform poorly in special scenes such as fire, high temperature and low visibility, cannot meet the needs of fire fighting and rescue, lack effective environmental identification and safety zone protection functions, their operating data cannot be recorded, and the control system does not have self-learning and upgrade capabilities.
[0201] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of various equivalent modifications or replacements within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and these modifications or replacements should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
