Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of equipment control, and in particular to an energy-saving control method and control device of a forage harvester, and a forage harvester. Background Art

[0002] A forage harvester is an agricultural machine used for multiple operations such as picking, stacking and returning silage to the field. With the rapid development of agricultural machinery manufacturing technology, hydraulically driven forage harvesters have been widely used. Usually, users can control the travel speed of the forage harvester by operating the handle, and adjust the travel speed of the forage harvester by operating the handle at different openings. In addition, the user controls the engine speed of the forage harvester within a certain range by operating the throttle. Due to the characteristics of the fixed transmission ratio of the mechanical structure, the speed of the working parts of the forage harvester is proportional to the engine speed, and then the harvesting operation is carried out in the field through the working parts.

[0003] However, when the forage harvester is driving, the engine speed is adjusted based on the user's personal experience to achieve engine output power control. If the engine speed is not adjusted accurately, it is easy for the engine to have a large throttle and a small displacement of the hydraulic pump, which will lead to excessive engine output power of the forage harvester and low volumetric efficiency when the hydraulic pump works in a small displacement range. In addition, the amount of silage fed will fluctuate during the field operation of the forage harvester. When the amount of silage fed is small, it is easy for the engine speed to not match the operating requirements of the forage harvester, further leading to excess power of the forage harvester.

[0061] Figure 1 The flowchart of the first energy-saving control method of the forage harvester according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an energy-saving control method for a forage harvester, the forage harvester includes a control handle, an engine, a working device and a hydraulic device, and the energy-saving control method for the forage harvester may include:

[0062] S110, in response to the received energy-saving mode request, determining the energy-saving mode type of the forage harvester.

[0063] The forage harvester in this embodiment includes a control handle, an engine, hydraulic equipment and other equipment. The types of other equipment are set according to actual needs, and can be working equipment and cooling equipment, etc., which are not limited here. In addition, the forage harvester in this embodiment provides a normal mode and an energy-saving mode. When the forage harvester is in the normal mode, the forage harvester adjusts the engine speed and the displacement of the hydraulic equipment according to the user's control.

[0064] When the forage harvester is in energy-saving mode, the power consumption of the forage harvester is reduced by matching the engine speed with the power of the hydraulic equipment. Specifically, the energy-saving mode of the forage harvester in this embodiment includes a traveling energy-saving mode and an operating energy-saving mode. The traveling energy-saving mode is a mode in which the forage harvester only travels in the field or on the road and does not perform forage harvesting operations. The operating energy-saving mode is a mode in which the forage harvester performs forage harvesting operations.

[0065] In response to the received energy-saving mode request, the energy-saving mode type of the forage harvester is determined to adjust the engine speed according to the equipment status of the forage harvester. Specifically, the sensor can be used to detect the main clutch signal and the operating equipment action signal, etc., and the energy-saving mode type of the forage harvester is determined according to the sensor signal. For ease of understanding, the embodiment of the present application uses a sensor to detect the type of the main clutch signal. When the main clutch engagement signal is disconnected, the energy-saving mode of the forage harvester is determined to be the driving energy-saving mode. When the main clutch engagement signal is engaged, the energy-saving mode of the forage harvester is determined to be the operating energy-saving mode.

[0066] S120, determining the real-time opening value of the control handle.

[0067] Determine the real-time opening value of the control handle in real time. For ease of understanding, in the embodiment of the present application, the user can push the operating lever of the control handle in a Z shape to adjust the real-time opening value of the control handle. When the operating lever of the control handle is in the middle position, the forage harvester stops moving. When the operating lever of the control handle is pushed along the right front, the real-time opening value of the control handle is positive, and the forage harvester moves forward. When the operating lever of the control handle is pushed along the left rear, the real-time opening value of the control handle is negative, and the forage harvester moves backward. The user can control the walking speed of the forage harvester by adjusting the real-time opening value of the control handle.

[0068] S130, when the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, adjusting the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic device according to the real-time opening value of the control handle.

[0069] In this embodiment, the hydraulic equipment includes a travel motor, an operating motor, a travel variable pump and an operating variable pump. The forage harvester also includes a travel drive mechanism and an operating device, the travel drive mechanism is used to realize the travel of the forage harvester, and the operating device is used to perform the forage harvesting operation. The engine is connected to the travel drive mechanism in turn through the travel variable pump, and the engine is also connected to the operating device in turn through the operating variable pump and the operating motor.

[0070] When the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, the engine only drives the travel drive mechanism and does not drive the working parts, that is, the forage harvester travels but does not perform the forage harvesting operation. According to the real-time opening value of the control handle, the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment are linearly adjusted. According to the real-time opening value of the control handle, the power matching between the engine, the travel motor and the travel variable pump is controlled. Under the condition of meeting the driving speed requirements of the forage harvester, the hydraulic equipment is controlled to operate in the high-efficiency area, so that the engine works in the low-energy consumption area.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, when the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic device are adjusted according to the real-time opening value of the control handle, including:

[0072] When the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset speed according to the real-time opening value of the control handle;

[0073] When the real-time speed of the engine is a preset speed, the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic device are updated based on the real-time opening value of the control handle and the output power of the engine.

[0074] When the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset speed according to the real-time opening value of the control handle. For ease of understanding, the preset speed in the embodiment of the present application includes a preset minimum speed and a preset driving speed. It should be understood that the preset driving speed is greater than the preset minimum speed, the preset driving speed and the preset working speed may be equal, and the preset driving speed and the preset working speed may not be equal. When the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is a positive value, it is determined that the state of the forage harvester is forward driving, and the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset driving speed. When the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is not a positive value, it is determined that the state of the forage harvester is one of transfer, reverse, stationary idling and unloading, and the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset minimum speed to reduce the overall power consumption of the forage harvester.

[0075] When the real-time speed of the engine is the preset speed, the output power of the engine at the preset speed is obtained. Based on the real-time opening value of the control handle and the output power of the engine, the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic device are updated. Specifically, according to the real-time opening value of the control handle, it is determined whether the displacement current of the hydraulic device is increased to the maximum displacement current. When the displacement current of the hydraulic device is increased to the maximum displacement current, the speed of the engine is linearly increased. When the displacement current of the hydraulic device is not increased to the maximum displacement current, the speed of the engine remains unchanged, and the displacement current of the hydraulic device is linearly increased.

[0076] After adjusting the engine speed or the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment according to the real-time opening value of the control handle, determine whether the engine speed needs to be reduced according to the engine output power so that the engine works in the low energy consumption area. If the engine speed does not need to be reduced, the engine speed and the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment are maintained. If the engine speed needs to be reduced, the engine speed and the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment are reduced, and then, under the premise of meeting the driving speed requirements, the hydraulic equipment is controlled to operate in the high efficiency area so that the engine works in the low energy consumption area.

[0077] S140, when the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is not a positive value, adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to a preset minimum speed.

[0078] The real-time speed of the engine, i.e., the speed of the engine when the forage harvester is running, can pre-set the preset minimum speed and preset maximum speed of the engine. The preset minimum speed is the lowest speed allowed by the engine when the forage harvester is running, and the preset maximum speed is the highest speed allowed by the engine when the forage harvester is running. It should be understood that the values ​​of the preset minimum speed and the preset maximum speed are set according to actual needs and are not limited here. For ease of understanding, in the embodiment of the present application, the preset minimum speed is 1000rpm and the preset maximum speed is 2000rpm.

[0079] When the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is not a positive value, the state of the forage harvester is determined to be one of the following: transfer, reverse, static idling and unloading. After a preset time, the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset minimum speed, so that the engine works in a low energy consumption area to avoid excessive engine power.

[0080] S150, when the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is a positive value, the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset working speed according to the opening range of the real-time opening value of the control handle, wherein the opening of the control handle in the operation energy-saving mode is divided into at least two continuous opening ranges, the preset working speed is the speed corresponding to the maximum operating speed of the working equipment in the opening range, and the preset working speed is greater than the preset minimum speed.

[0081] When the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode, the engine drives the travel drive mechanism and the operation parts at the same time. When the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode, and the real-time opening value of the control handle is a positive value, it is determined that the forage harvester moves forward and performs the forage harvesting operation. The real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset working speed to meet the operation requirements of the forage harvester. Compared with adjusting the engine speed directly corresponding to the handle opening value, the situation of insufficient power of the forage harvester is avoided, wherein the preset working speed is greater than the preset minimum speed, and the preset working speed is less than or equal to the preset minimum speed. Specifically, the opening of the control handle in the operation energy-saving mode is preset to be divided into at least two continuous opening intervals, and different opening intervals correspond to different preset working speeds output by the engine. The number of divided opening intervals is based on actual needs and is not limited here. Assuming that the real-time opening value of the control handle is in the first opening interval, the preset working speed is determined as the speed corresponding to the maximum operating speed of the working equipment in the first opening interval, and the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the preset working speed.

[0082] S160, when the real-time speed of the engine is the preset working speed, adjusting the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment according to the power of the forage harvester.

[0083] When the forage harvester is in the energy-saving operation mode and is moving forward, the engine speed is maintained at the preset maximum speed. During the actual forage harvesting operation of the forage harvester, the amount of silage fed will fluctuate dynamically. When the amount of silage fed is small, the forage harvester is prone to overpower. According to the power of the forage harvester, determine whether the forage harvester has overpower. If the forage harvester does not have overpower, the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment is maintained. If the forage harvester has overpower, the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment is reduced. By identifying the state of the forage harvester and dynamically adjusting the engine speed and / or the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment, the power matching between the engine speed and the hydraulic equipment is achieved, and the overall power consumption of the forage harvester is reduced. The hydraulic equipment operates in the high-efficiency area, so that the engine works in the low-energy consumption area, thereby avoiding the situation of overpower of the forage harvester.

[0084] Figure 2The flowchart of the second energy-saving control method of the forage harvester according to the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the hydraulic device includes a travel motor and an operating motor, wherein the travel motor is used to drive the forage harvester to travel, and the operating motor is used to drive the forage harvester to perform a forage harvesting operation;

[0086] When the real-time speed of the engine is the preset working speed, the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment is adjusted according to the power of the forage harvester, including:

[0087] When the real-time speed of the engine is the preset working speed, the travel power and the operating power are obtained respectively;

[0088] S162, when the travel power is less than a preset power threshold, determining a target displacement of the hydraulic device according to a power curve of the travel motor, wherein the target displacement is a displacement corresponding to a maximum volumetric efficiency of the travel motor;

[0089] S163, when the operating power is less than a preset power threshold, determining a target displacement of the hydraulic equipment according to a power curve of the operating motor;

[0090] S164, adjusting the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment to a first target current corresponding to the target displacement.

[0091] When the real-time speed of the engine is the preset working speed, determine whether the power of the hydraulic equipment is less than the preset power threshold to determine whether the displacement of the hydraulic equipment can be reduced. Specifically, the travel power and the operating power are obtained respectively. When the travel power and the operating power are both greater than or equal to the preset power threshold, the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment is maintained.

[0092] When the travel power is less than the preset power threshold, the displacement current with the best efficiency on the power curve is queried according to the power curve of the travel motor. The displacement corresponding to the displacement current with the best efficiency is determined as the target displacement of the hydraulic equipment, and the target displacement determined by the power curve of the travel motor is the displacement corresponding to the highest volumetric efficiency of the travel motor. The displacement current of the travel motor is adjusted to the first target current corresponding to the target displacement.

[0093] When the operating power is less than the preset power threshold, the displacement current with the best efficiency on the power curve is queried according to the power curve of the working motor. The displacement corresponding to the displacement current with the best efficiency is determined as the target displacement of the hydraulic equipment, and the target displacement determined by the power curve of the corresponding travel motor is the displacement corresponding to the highest volumetric efficiency of the working motor. The displacement current of the working motor is adjusted to the first target current corresponding to the target displacement.

[0094] It should be understood that, according to the model of the forage harvester and the model of the engine, multiple power curves can be determined, the power of the equipment can be obtained in real time, and then the best power curve under the current working conditions can be determined to put the engine at the best working point.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the hydraulic device further includes a travel variable displacement pump and an operation variable displacement pump;

[0096] When the real-time engine speed is the preset working speed, the travel power and operating power are obtained respectively, including:

[0098] S1612, determining a third target current of the operation variable pump according to the preset silage harvesting parameter;

[0099] S1613, when the displacement current of the travel variable pump is the second target current, the displacement current of the working variable pump is the third target current, the displacement current of the travel motor is the maximum displacement current, and the displacement current of the working motor is the maximum displacement current, respectively obtain the travel power and the working power.

[0100] When the real-time engine speed is the preset working speed, the engine maintains the preset working speed. Based on the maximum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the minimum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the real-time opening value of the control handle and the maximum opening value of the control handle, the second target current of the travel variable pump is determined to be (XZB_Imax-XZB_Imin)*Ki / K1, where XZB_Imax is the maximum displacement current of the travel variable pump, XZB_Imin is the minimum displacement current of the travel variable pump, Ki is the real-time opening value of the control handle, and Kmax is the real-time opening value of the control handle. According to the preset silage harvesting parameters, the third target current of the operating variable pump is determined. It should be understood that the type of preset silage harvesting parameters is set according to actual needs, and can be silage cutting length, etc., which is not limited here.

[0101] When the displacement current of the travel variable pump is the second target current, the displacement current of the working variable pump is the third target current, the displacement current of the travel motor is the maximum displacement current, and the displacement current of the working motor is the maximum displacement current, the travel power and the working power are respectively obtained to determine the power at the current speed of the engine and the current displacement of the hydraulic equipment.

[0106] When the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment is adjusted to the first target current, the real-time fuel consumption and real-time driving speed of the forage harvester are obtained. When the forage harvester is in normal mode, the original fuel consumption is the fuel consumption of the forage harvester corresponding to the real-time opening value of the control handle. When the real-time fuel consumption is greater than the original fuel consumption, it is determined that the adjustment of the displacement current to the first target current will lead to an increase in the fuel consumption of the forage harvester, and the displacement current of the travel variable pump is restored to the second target current, the displacement current of the working variable pump is restored to the third target current, the displacement current of the travel motor is restored to the maximum displacement current, and the displacement current of the working motor is restored to the maximum displacement current.

[0109] Figure 3 The flowchart of the third energy-saving control method for a forage harvester according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the energy-saving control method of the silage harvester further includes:

[0111] S170, obtaining the required power of the engine, and adjusting the power gear of the engine according to the power ratio of the required power at the real-time speed of the engine.

[0112] The sensor is used to detect the real-time pressure and / or real-time displacement of the hydraulic equipment, and the required power of the engine is obtained according to the real-time pressure and / or real-time displacement of the hydraulic equipment. The power gear of the engine is adjusted according to the power ratio of the required power at the real-time speed of the engine.

[0113] It should be understood that the engine can preset n power gears. For ease of understanding, in the embodiment of the present application, n is 10, that is, when the power gear of the engine is 1 to 10, the engine can output 100% of the power at the real-time speed. Assuming that the power gear of the engine is adjusted to 1 to 4 in the walking energy-saving mode, the engine can output 40% of the power at the real-time speed. Assuming that the power gear of the engine is adjusted to 1 to 7 in the walking energy-saving mode, the engine can output 70% of the power at the real-time speed. In this embodiment, when the energy-saving mode is the driving energy-saving mode, the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment are adjusted according to the real-time opening value of the control handle; and / or when the displacement current of the walking variable pump is the second target current, the displacement current of the working variable pump is the third target current, the displacement current of the walking motor is the highest displacement current, and the displacement current of the working motor is the highest displacement current, the step of obtaining the required power of the engine is performed, so that the forage harvester can operate at the optimal working point under the condition of poor silage harvest by adjusting the power gear of the engine.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, the forage harvester further includes a cooling device, and the energy-saving control method of the forage harvester further includes:

[0115] S1801, when the energy-saving mode is the operation energy-saving mode, detecting the maximum real-time speed of the engine;

[0116] S1802, when the speed of the engine is the maximum real-time speed and the displacement current of the cooling device is the maximum displacement current, obtaining the real-time temperature of the cooling device and the real-time operating parameters of the engine corresponding to the real-time speed;

[0117] S1803, when the real-time temperature of the cooling device is not lower than a preset temperature threshold, and / or the real-time operating parameter exceeds an operating parameter threshold corresponding to the real-time speed, increasing the real-time speed of the engine based on a preset speed difference;

[0118] S1804, when the real-time temperature of the cooling device is lower than the preset temperature threshold and the real-time operating parameter does not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the real-time speed, reduce the displacement current of the cooling device based on the preset current difference.

[0119] Changes in the energy-saving mode of the forage harvester and changes in the real-time opening value of the control handle will cause changes in the engine speed. When the energy-saving mode is the operating energy-saving mode, the maximum real-time speed of the engine is detected, and the displacement current of the cooling device is increased to the maximum displacement current. When the engine speed is the maximum real-time speed and the displacement current of the cooling device is the maximum displacement current, the real-time temperature of the cooling device and the real-time operating parameters of the engine corresponding to the real-time speed are obtained. It should be understood that the temperature parameter of the cooling device can be at least one of the engine coolant temperature, the charge air cooling system temperature and the hydraulic oil temperature, which is not limited here. The operating parameters of the engine can be at least one of the engine load rate, torque percentage and real-time power, which are not limited here.

[0120] When the real-time temperature of the cooling equipment is not lower than the preset temperature threshold, and / or the real-time operating parameter exceeds the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the real-time speed, the real-time speed of the engine is increased based on the preset speed difference. While meeting the power demand of the forage harvester and avoiding power shortage of the forage harvester, the real-time speed of the engine is gradually increased from the preset minimum speed, thereby reducing the power consumption of the forage harvester.

[0121] In this embodiment, the engine is connected to the cooling device through a hydraulic device, and the cooling device operates according to the engine speed. It is easy for the actual power of the cooling device to be greater than the required power, resulting in excess engine output power. When the real-time temperature of the cooling device is lower than the preset temperature threshold, and the real-time operating parameter does not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the real-time speed, it is determined that the actual power of the cooling device is greater than the required power. The real-time speed of the engine is kept unchanged, and the displacement current of the cooling device is reduced based on the preset current difference, thereby avoiding excess engine output power.

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, when the real-time temperature of the cooling device is lower than the preset temperature threshold and the real-time operating parameter does not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the real-time speed, after reducing the displacement current of the cooling device based on the preset current difference, it also includes:

[0123] S1901, calculating the temperature difference between the real-time temperature and the original temperature, wherein the original temperature is the temperature of the cooling device corresponding to the real-time opening value of the control handle;

[0124] S1902: When the temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature threshold, adjust the displacement current of the cooling device based on a preset current difference.

[0125] After reducing the displacement current of the cooling device, the temperature difference between the real-time temperature and the original temperature is calculated to determine whether the displacement current of the cooling device needs to be adjusted, wherein the original temperature is the temperature of the cooling device corresponding to the real-time opening value of the control handle. When the temperature difference is greater than a preset temperature threshold, it is determined that adjusting the displacement current of the cooling device will affect the performance of the cooling device, and the displacement current of the cooling device is adjusted based on the preset current difference.

[0126] Specifically, when the real-time temperature is greater than the original temperature and the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, the displacement current of the cooling device is reduced based on the preset current difference. When the real-time temperature is less than the original temperature and the temperature difference is greater than the preset temperature threshold, the displacement current of the cooling device is increased based on the preset current difference.

[0127] In an embodiment of the present application, the target speed includes a first target speed and a second target speed;

[0128] Determining a target speed of the engine according to the first target displacement, and adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to the target speed, including:

[0129] According to the first target displacement, the real-time speed of the engine, the maximum displacement of the travel motor and the efficiency value corresponding to the maximum displacement of the travel motor, the speed of the engine is adjusted to the first target speed, wherein the preset opening threshold is the opening of the control handle corresponding to the maximum displacement current of the hydraulic equipment;

[0130] When the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, and the real-time operating parameter of the engine corresponding to the first target speed does not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the first target speed, the displacement current of the travel variable pump is adjusted to a second target current corresponding to the second target displacement, wherein the second target displacement is the displacement corresponding to the maximum volumetric efficiency of the travel variable pump;

[0131] According to the second target displacement, a second target speed of the engine is determined, and the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the second target speed.

[0132] The preset opening threshold of the control handle is the opening of the control handle corresponding to the maximum displacement current of the hydraulic equipment, that is, when the real-time opening value of the control handle exceeds the preset opening threshold, the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment increases to the maximum displacement current and the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment cannot be further increased.

[0133] When the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, the displacement current of the travel variable pump is kept unchanged, and the engine speed is adjusted to the first target speed according to the first target displacement, the real-time speed of the engine, the maximum displacement of the travel motor and the efficiency value corresponding to the maximum displacement of the travel motor.

[0134] In the embodiment of the present application, the first target speed calculation formula is:

[0135]

[0136] Among them, Nmb1 is the first target speed, XZMD_Vzj is the first target displacement corresponding to the highest efficiency range on the power curve, Ni is the real-time speed of the engine output, XZMD_Vmax is the maximum displacement of the travel motor, XZMD_η is the efficiency value corresponding to the maximum displacement of the travel motor, and XZMD_ηzj is the highest efficiency on the power curve.

[0137] When the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, since the displacement current of the variable displacement pump can continue to increase, after adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to the first target speed, it is determined that the real-time operating parameters of the engine corresponding to the first target speed do not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the first target speed. When the real-time operating parameters of the engine corresponding to the first target speed do not exceed the operating parameter threshold corresponding to the first target speed, the displacement current of the variable displacement pump is adjusted to the second target current corresponding to the second target displacement, wherein the second target displacement is the displacement corresponding to the highest volumetric efficiency of the variable displacement pump. According to the second target displacement, the second target speed of the engine is determined, and the real-time speed of the engine is adjusted to the second target speed.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, the calculation formula of the second target speed is:

[0139]

[0140] Among them, Nmb2 is the second target speed, Nmb1 is the first target speed, Ki is the real-time opening value of the control handle, K1 is the preset opening threshold, XZB_ηi is the volumetric efficiency value of the walking variable pump corresponding to the real-time opening value of the control handle, XZB_Vmin is the displacement corresponding to the minimum displacement current of the walking variable pump, XZB_Vmax is the displacement corresponding to the maximum displacement current of the walking variable pump, XZB_Imin is the minimum displacement current of the walking variable pump, XZB_Imax is the maximum displacement current of the walking variable pump, XZB_ηzj is the maximum volumetric efficiency value of the walking variable pump, and XZB_Vzj is the second target displacement, that is, the maximum displacement corresponding to the maximum capacity efficiency of the walking variable pump.

[0141] It should be understood that when the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, since the displacement current of the travel variable pump cannot continue to increase, the steps of adjusting the displacement current of the travel variable pump to the second target current corresponding to the second target displacement, determining the second target speed of the engine based on the second target displacement, and adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to the second target speed will not be executed.

[0142] Figure 3 The flowchart of the third energy-saving control method for a forage harvester according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown.

[0143] In an embodiment of the present application, based on the real-time opening value of the control handle, the real-time speed of the engine, the displacement current of the travel variable pump and the displacement current of the travel motor are updated, including:

[0144] When the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, the real-time speed of the engine is maintained at the preset speed, the displacement current of the travel motor is adjusted to the maximum displacement current, and the displacement current of the travel variable pump is adjusted according to the maximum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the minimum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the real-time opening value of the control handle and the preset opening threshold;

[0145] When the real-time opening value of the control handle exceeds the preset opening threshold, the displacement current of the travel motor and the displacement current of the travel variable pump are adjusted to the maximum displacement current, and the real-time speed of the engine is updated according to the preset speed, the maximum speed of the engine, the real-time opening value of the control handle, the maximum opening value of the control handle and the preset opening threshold.

[0146] When the real-time opening value of the control handle does not exceed the preset opening threshold, it is determined that the displacement current of the travel variable pump can continue to be higher, and then the real-time speed of the engine can be selected not to adjust so that the engine is in the high-efficiency range. The real-time speed of the engine is maintained at the preset speed, the displacement current of the travel motor is adjusted to the maximum displacement current, and according to the maximum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the minimum displacement current of the travel variable pump, the real-time opening value of the control handle and the preset opening threshold, the displacement current of the travel variable pump is adjusted to (XZB_Imax-XZB_Imin)*Ki / K1, where XZB_Imin is the minimum displacement current of the travel variable pump, XZB_Imax is the maximum displacement current of the travel variable pump, Ki is the real-time opening value of the control handle, and K1 is the preset opening threshold.

[0147] When the real-time opening value of the control handle exceeds the preset opening threshold, the displacement current of the travel motor and the displacement current of the travel variable pump are adjusted to the maximum displacement current. Since the displacement current of the travel variable pump cannot continue to increase, according to the preset speed, the maximum speed of the engine, the real-time opening value of the control handle, the maximum opening value of the control handle and the preset opening threshold, the real-time speed of the engine is N1+(Nmax-N1)*(Ki-K1) / (Kmax-K1), where Nmax is the maximum speed of the engine, that is, the preset maximum speed, N1 is the preset speed of the engine, Ki is the real-time opening value of the control handle, Kmax is the maximum opening value of the control handle, and K1 is the preset opening threshold of the control handle.

The energy-saving control method for the forage harvester includes: determining the energy-saving mode type of the forage harvester in response to a received energy-saving mode request; determining the real-time opening value of the control handle; when the energy-saving mode is a driving energy-saving mode, adjusting the real-time speed of the engine and the displacement current of the hydraulic device according to the real-time opening value of the control handle; when the energy-saving mode is an operation energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is not a positive value, adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to a preset minimum speed; when the energy-saving mode is an operation energy-saving mode and the real-time opening value of the control handle is a positive value, adjusting the real-time speed of the engine to a preset working speed according to the opening range of the real-time opening value of the control handle; when the real-time speed of the engine is the preset working speed, adjusting the displacement current of the hydraulic device according to the power of the forage harvester. By identifying the state of the forage harvester, dynamically adjusting the engine speed and / or the displacement current of the hydraulic equipment, the power matching between the engine speed and the hydraulic equipment is achieved, which reduces the overall power consumption of the forage harvester compared to linearly adjusting the engine speed directly according to the opening value of the handle. The hydraulic equipment operates in the high-efficiency area, which makes the engine work in the low-energy consumption area, thereby avoiding the situation of excessive power in the forage harvester.

Through the power matching between the engine 230 speed and the hydraulic device 220, the whole machine power consumption of the silage harvester 200 can be reduced, thereby avoiding the situation of excessive power of the silage harvester 200. Specifically, the feeding variable pump 225, the feeding motor 226 and the feeding drive mechanism 290 constitute a feeding system for feeding silage. The feeding motor 226 is the working motor of the silage harvester 200. When the power of the working motor is less than the preset power threshold, the target displacement of the hydraulic device 220 is determined according to the power curve of the working motor.
