Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of aerial work platforms, and in particular to a leveling method, device, equipment and storage medium for an aerial work platform. Background Art

[0002] The automatic leveling control system uses a leveling sensor installed on the workbench. The signal of the leveling sensor can be CAN bus type or 4-20ma analog type. Among them, the 4-20ma analog type refers to the use of 4 to 20 mA current range to represent the analog signal output by the sensor or other equipment in the industrial control system. The control module (ECU) collects the signal of the leveling sensor to detect the platform inclination angle in real time. According to the size of the angle, the opening of the leveling proportional valve is controlled to extend or retract the leveling cylinder, thereby controlling the rise or fall of the workbench to achieve the purpose of automatic leveling.

[0003] In the prior art, the initial and maximum angles of the calibrated platform inclination are usually associated with the starting angular velocity and maximum angle of the main arm, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the workbench and the main arm and achieve the desired leveling effect. Alternatively, the automatic leveling algorithm is designed by the nonlinear forward transfer method, but the first solution mentioned above has many system parameters to adjust, and the operation is cumbersome, which is not convenient for practical application. The second solution cannot solve the switching impact from positive leveling to negative leveling or from negative leveling to positive leveling due to the change in the platform inclination angle. The workbench will stop suddenly and then move again, affecting the comfort of leveling. In addition, the parameter settings are distributed in the second and fourth quadrants, which is not convenient for parameter setting and maintenance. Summary of the invention

[0064] Embodiment 1

[0065] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a leveling method for an aerial work platform provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-point calibration fitting curve provided in the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where there are many adjustment system parameters, the operation is cumbersome, and the aerial work platform will be adjusted suddenly, and the leveling comfort is poor. The method can be executed by the leveling device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the device can be implemented in software and / or hardware. The device can be configured in the leveling equipment provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] See also Figure 1 , the leveling method of the aerial work platform includes:

[0067] S110, pre-calibrating the corresponding relationship between multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​of the aerial work platform and the proportional values ​​output by the proportional valve, and fitting to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve.

[0068] Specifically, the multiple sets of tilt angle values ​​of the aerial work platform may be tilt angle values ​​that may occur during the working process of the aerial work platform. For example, during the working process, the aerial work platform may have tilt angle values ​​of 0.2°, 0.5°, and 1°, etc. In response to these tilt angle values, the proportional valve needs to output corresponding proportional values ​​to level the aerial work platform. For example, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the tilt angle values ​​of multiple aerial work platforms correspond to the proportional values ​​output by multiple proportional valves. When the tilt angle value of the corresponding aerial work platform is 0.2° ( Figure 2 The resolution of the angle set in the program is 10, that is, when the aerial work platform value is 2, it means that the tilt angle value of the aerial work platform is 0.2°), the proportional valve needs to output a proportional value of 100 to adjust the aerial work platform to keep the aerial work platform level; when the tilt angle value of the corresponding aerial work platform is 0.5° ( Figure 2 The resolution of the angle set in the program is 10, that is, when the aerial work platform value is 5, it means that the inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is 0.5°), the proportional valve needs to output a proportional value of 200 to adjust the aerial work platform to keep the aerial work platform level; when the corresponding inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is 1°, the proportional valve needs to output a proportional value of 300 to adjust the aerial work platform to keep the aerial work platform level, and so on. In this way, multiple groups of aerial work platform inclination angle values ​​are fitted with the corresponding multiple groups of proportional valve output proportional values ​​to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve. There is no need to perform load calculations during subsequent leveling. Only the actual inclination angle value needs to be substituted into the multi-point calibration fitting curve to obtain the proportional value of the proportional valve corresponding output. The control method is simple and easy to operate. Moreover, since the setting parameters are all located in the first quadrant, the output can be better controlled to achieve the purpose of stable output and precise control.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​of aerial work platforms and multiple groups of proportional values ​​of proportional valve outputs are for exemplary purposes only, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs.

[0070] S120: Obtain an actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform.

[0071] During the actual leveling operation, the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform is first obtained. In one embodiment, the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform can be directly obtained through the leveling sensor. It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the method for obtaining the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform, and those skilled in the art can set it as needed.

[0072] S130, obtaining the leveling ratio value output by the proportional valve according to the actual tilt angle value and the multi-point calibration fitting curve, and inputting the leveling ratio value into the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module, so that the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module level the aerial work platform according to the leveling ratio value.

[0073] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-point calibration fitting curve of multiple groups of inclination angle values ​​of the aerial work platform and the proportional value output by the proportional valve is pre-set in the control module of the proportional valve. After determining the actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform, the control module of the proportional valve calculates the leveling proportional value that matches the current actual inclination angle value based on the multi-point calibration fitting curve and the actual inclination angle value. In this way, the method for obtaining the leveling proportional value is simple and easy to operate, and since the setting parameters are all located in the first quadrant, the output can be better controlled to achieve the purpose of smooth output and precise control. In addition, after obtaining the leveling ratio value, the leveling ratio value is input into the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module. The slope function control module will increase according to the start slope or decrease according to the stop slope in each scanning cycle of the control module according to the leveling ratio value. The increase and decrease will cause the value to gradually increase and decrease when the leveling ratio value is reached, so that the proportional valve control module will generate corresponding current shift to level the aerial work platform according to the gradually changing value, thereby avoiding a sudden increase or decrease in the output value of the proportional valve, reducing the impact of leveling the aerial work platform, and improving comfort and stability.

[0074] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention pre-calibrates the correspondence between multiple groups of inclination angle values ​​of the aerial work platform and the proportional values ​​output by the proportional valve, and fits a multi-point calibration fitting curve. The actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is obtained, and the leveling proportional value output by the proportional valve is obtained according to the actual inclination angle value and the multi-point calibration fitting curve, and the leveling proportional value is input into the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module, so that the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module level the aerial work platform according to the leveling proportional value. In this way, the output is controlled by the pre-set multi-point calibration fitting curve, and its setting parameters are all located in the first quadrant, which can better control the output and achieve the purpose of stable output and precise control. In addition, through the slope function control module, the sudden increase or decrease of the output value is avoided, the impact when the aerial work platform is leveled can be reduced, and the comfort and stability are improved.

[0075] Embodiment 2

[0076] Figure 3 is a flow chart of another method for leveling an aerial work platform provided in the second embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the leveling method includes:

[0077] S210, with the tilt angle value of the aerial work platform as the X-axis and the proportional value output by the proportional valve as the Y-axis, the tilt angle value and the proportional value are fitted to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve.

[0078] Specifically, the corresponding relationship between the tilt angle values ​​of multiple aerial work platforms and the proportional values ​​output by the proportional valve is preset. Figure 2 As shown, the inclination angle values ​​of multiple groups of aerial work platforms are X-axis, and the proportional values ​​output by multiple groups of proportional valves are Y-axis. Then the multiple groups of inclination angle values ​​are X0, X1, X2, ..., XN. Multiple groups of proportional valve values ​​include Y0, Y1, Y2, ..., YN, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 6, and X0 corresponds to Y0. In other words, when the inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is X0, the proportional value output by the proportional valve needs to be Y0, and the aerial work platform is leveled by Y0. Similarly, X1 corresponds to Y1. When the inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is X1, the proportional value output by the proportional valve needs to be Y1, and the aerial work platform is leveled by Y1. ..., XN corresponds to YN. When the inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is XN, the proportional value output by the proportional valve needs to be YN, and the aerial work platform is leveled by YN. After calibrating the multiple groups of inclination angle values ​​and proportional values, a multi-point calibration curve is obtained by fitting. The fitted multi-point calibration curve includes multiple parts. For example, let the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform to be subsequently detected be XL, and the corresponding leveling ratio value be YL. Then when XL<X0, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=0; if Xm≤XL<X(m+1), where m is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than N, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies:

[0079] YL=[Y(m+1)-Ym] / [ X(m+1)- Xm]×(XL-Xm)+ Ym; if XL≥XN, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=YN.

[0080] It should be noted that the multi-point calibration fitting curve can be a six-point calibration fitting curve, an eight-point calibration fitting curve, a ten-point calibration fitting curve, etc. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, and those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual accuracy requirements. It can be understood that when the multi-point calibration fitting curve is a six-point calibration fitting curve, the X-axis before fitting includes seven groups of tilt angle values ​​(X0-X6), when the multi-point calibration fitting curve is an eight-point calibration fitting curve, the X-axis before fitting includes nine groups of tilt angle values ​​(X0-X8), and when the multi-point calibration fitting curve is a ten-point calibration fitting curve, the X-axis before fitting includes eleven groups of tilt angle values ​​(X0-X10).

[0081] In one embodiment, a multi-point calibration fitting curve including an eight-point calibration fitting curve is used as an example for description, and the multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​are X0, X1, X2, ..., X8, and the corresponding multiple groups of ratio values ​​are Y0, Y1, Y2, ..., Y8. Under the multi-point calibration fitting curve relationship, the actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform detected later is recorded as XL, and the corresponding leveling ratio value is YL. If XL is less than X0, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=0; if X0≤XL<X1, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y1-Y0) / (X1- X0)×(XL-X0)+ Y0; if X1≤XL<X2, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y2-Y1) / (X2- X1)×(XL-X1)+ Y1; if X2≤XL<X3, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y3-Y2) / (X3- X2)×(XL-X2)+ Y2; if X3≤XL<X4, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y4-Y3) / (X4- X3)×(XL-X3)+ Y3; if X4≤XL<X5, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y5-Y4) / (X5- X4)×(XL-X4)+ Y4; if X5≤XL<X6, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y6-Y5) / (X6- X5)×(XL-X5)+Y5; if X6≤XL<X7, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y7-Y6) / (X7- X6)×(XL-X6)+ Y6;

[0082] If X7≤XL<X8, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y8-Y7) / (X8- X7)×(XL-X7)+ Y7; if XL≥XN, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=Y8. In this way, the output is controlled by the pre-set multi-point calibration fitting curve, and its setting parameters are all located in the first quadrant, which can better control the output and achieve the purpose of stable output and precise control.

[0083] S220, obtaining a first inclination angle value of the aerial work platform detected by the leveling sensor, and determining that the actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is 0 when the absolute value of the first inclination angle value is less than a preset value, and determining that the actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform is the absolute value of the first inclination angle value when the absolute value of the first inclination angle value is greater than or equal to the preset value.

[0084] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform can be obtained by the leveling sensor. Exemplarily, the tilt angle value obtained by the leveling sensor is the first tilt angle value of the aerial work platform. In the embodiment of the present invention, the first tilt angle value is not the actual tilt angle value substituted into the multi-point calibration fitting curve, and the first tilt angle value needs to be further processed, that is, the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is compared with the preset value. If the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is less than the preset value, it means that the tilt angle value at this time is small, and normal operation can be guaranteed without leveling, and then the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform is determined to be 0, and the leveling proportional value output by the proportional valve is 0 (no leveling). If the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is greater than the preset value, it means that the tilt angle value at this time is large, and leveling is required to ensure normal and safe operation, and then the actual tilt angle value is determined to be the absolute value of the first tilt angle value. In this way, leveling is only performed when leveling is required, avoiding waste of system energy.

[0085] S230, determining the driving enable direction of the proportional valve according to the first tilt angle value, and when the driving enable direction is positive, determining the leveling ratio value to be the first leveling ratio value, and when the driving enable direction is negative, determining the leveling ratio value to be the negative value of the first leveling ratio value.

[0086] Specifically, after determining the actual tilt angle value, the first leveling ratio value output by the proportional valve is obtained according to the actual tilt angle value and the multi-point calibration fitting curve. It can be understood that the first leveling ratio value is not the leveling ratio value finally input to the ramp function control module, and the leveling ratio value finally input to the ramp function control module needs to be determined by the driving enable direction of the proportional valve and the first leveling ratio value. Exemplarily, the driving enable direction needs to be determined by the first tilt angle value detected by the leveling sensor. When the first tilt angle value detected by the leveling sensor is a positive value, the driving enable direction is positive. When the first tilt angle value detected by the leveling sensor is a negative value, the driving enable direction is negative. Then, when the driving enable direction is positive, the leveling ratio value is determined to be the first leveling ratio value, and when the driving enable direction is negative, the leveling ratio value is determined to be the negative value of the first leveling ratio value.

[0087] For example, the method of obtaining the leveling ratio value input to the slope function control module is described by taking the downward leveling of the aerial work platform as an example. Specifically, when the operator controls the boom connected to the aerial work platform to move upward, the aerial work platform needs to be leveled downward to ensure the level of the aerial work platform. Figure 2As shown in the figure, in the preset eight-point calibration fitting curve, the X-axis is X0=2, X1=5, X2=10, X3=15, X4=20, X5=25, X6=30, X7=35, X8=40. Since the resolution set by the program is 10, the tilt angle values ​​represented are X0=0.2°, X1=0.5°, X2=1°, X3=1.5°, X4=2°, X5=2.5°, X6=3°, X7=3.5°, X8=4°. The Y-axis is Y0=100, Y1=200, Y2=300, Y3=500, Y4=600, Y5=700, Y6=800, Y7=900, Y8=1000. Assume that the first tilt angle value detected by the leveling sensor is -0.3° and the preset value is 0.2, then the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is greater than the preset value, and the actual tilt angle value XL is determined to be 0.3°. At this time, the actual tilt angle value XL is between X0=0.2 and X0=0.5, then substitute the eight-point calibration fitting curve YL=(Y1-Y0) / (X1- X0)×(XL-X0)+ Y0, and you can get the first leveling proportional value output by the proportional valve is 133, but because the first tilt angle value is -0.3, that is, the driving enable direction of the proportional valve is negative, therefore, the leveling proportional value finally input to the ramp function control module should be the negative value of the first leveling proportional value, that is, -133.

[0088] S240, input the leveling ratio value into the slope function control module, so that the slope function control module increases according to the start slope or decreases according to the stop slope in each scanning cycle according to the leveling ratio value, so that when the leveling ratio value is reached, the value gradually changes, and the proportional valve control module generates a driving current according to the gradually changing value to level the aerial work platform.

[0089] Specifically, the proportional valve control module also stores the proportional valve down-leveling maximum current value C1. max , the minimum current value of the proportional valve is C1 min , proportional valve down-leveling start ramp C1 Start , proportional valve down-level stop ramp C1 Stop , the maximum current value of the proportional valve is C2 max , the minimum current value C2 for the proportional valve to be adjusted min , proportional valve leveling start ramp C2 Start , proportional valve upper level stop ramp C2 StopAfter the leveling ratio value is determined in step S230, the leveling ratio value is input into the ramp function control module. After the ramp function control module detects the leveling ratio value, the leveling ratio value is transmitted to the ramp function control module every time the controller scans a cycle. The ramp function control module starts from the minimum value of the start ramp setting (in one embodiment, the minimum value of the start ramp setting can be 0) and starts leveling according to the proportional valve down leveling start ramp C1. Start Gradually output the proportional value (assuming the proportional value output by the ramp function control module is YT, then YT=0+C1 Start ), and then accumulate until the proportional value output by the ramp function control module is the leveling proportional value. In this process, the value output by the ramp function control module gradually changes, and the valve control module generates a driving current according to the gradually changing value (driving current I=(C1 max -C1 min / 1000-0)×(YT-0)+ C1 min ) to level the aerial work platform. In this process, in each scanning cycle, the value is increased gradually according to the starting ramp, which avoids a sudden increase or decrease in the output value, reduces the impact of the aerial work platform leveling, and improves comfort and stability.

[0090] It should be noted that when the operator operates the boom to change its amplitude downward, the aerial work platform needs to be leveled upward to ensure the level of the aerial work platform. The working process of the upward leveling is similar to that of the downward leveling, and will not be repeated here. It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, when the upper leveling of the aerial work platform is converted to the lower leveling, or when the lower leveling of the aerial work platform is converted to the upper leveling, since the proportional valve includes a slope control function module, it will not cause the proportional valve port to stop or open abruptly, thereby avoiding repeated overshoot or lag of the aerial work platform, increasing the stability of the aerial work platform, and greatly improving the operating comfort.

[0091] It should also be noted that the control module of the proportional valve is also preset with a first dither frequency range and a first amplitude current range. The first dither frequency range includes 100Hz-200Hz, and the first amplitude current range includes 100mA-250mA. The hysteresis problem of the proportional valve can be solved by setting the first dither frequency range and the first amplitude current range.

[0092] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention controls the output by presetting an eight-point calibration fitting curve through the actual tilt angle value and the eight-point calibration fitting curve. Since the setting parameters of the eight-point calibration fitting curve are all located in the first quadrant, the output can be better controlled to achieve the purpose of stable output and precise control. In addition, leveling is performed only when the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is greater than the preset value, thereby avoiding waste of system energy. And through the ramp function control module, the sudden increase or decrease of the output value is avoided, the impact of leveling can be reduced, and the comfort and stability are improved.

[0093] Embodiment 3

[0094] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a leveling device for an aerial work platform provided in the third embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where it is difficult to level the auxiliary tool by visual means, which is not conducive to the operation of novice drivers. In addition, the operability is poor during the work process, and the constant manual leveling wastes working time and affects the work efficiency. The specific structure of the leveling device is as follows:

[0095] The calibration module 100 is used to pre-calibrate the corresponding relationship between multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​of the aerial work platform and the proportional values ​​output by the proportional valve, and to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve by fitting.

[0096] The acquisition module 200 is used to acquire the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform.

[0097] The adjustment module 300 is used to obtain the leveling ratio value output by the proportional valve according to the actual tilt angle value and the multi-point calibration fitting curve, and input the leveling ratio value into the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module, so that the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module can level the aerial work platform according to the leveling ratio value.

[0098] The multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​are X0, X1, X2, ..., XN, and the corresponding multiple groups of proportional values ​​include Y0, Y1, Y2, ..., YN, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 6. The calibration module 100 is specifically used to fit the tilt angle value and the proportional value with the tilt angle value of the aerial work platform as the X-axis and the proportional value output by the proportional valve as the Y-axis to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve. The actual tilt angle value is XL, and the leveling proportional value is YL. If XL<X0, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=0. If Xm≤XL<X(m+1), where m is an integer greater than or equal to 0 and less than N, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=[Y(m+1)-Ym] / [ X(m+1)- Xm]×(XL-Xm)+ Ym. If XL≥XN, the multi-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=YN.

[0099] The multi-point calibration fitting curve includes an eight-point calibration fitting curve, and the multiple groups of tilt angle values ​​are X0, X1, X2, ..., X8, and the corresponding multiple groups of ratio values ​​include Y0, Y1, Y2, ..., Y8. If XL < X0, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL = 0; if X0 ≤ XL < X1, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies:

[0100] YL=(Y1-Y0) / (X1- X0)×(XL-X0)+ Y0; if X1≤XL<X2, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y2-Y1) / (X2- X1)×(XL-X1)+ Y1; if X2≤XL<X3, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y3-Y2) / (X3- X2)×(XL-X2)+ Y2; if X3≤XL<X4, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y4-Y3) / (X4- X3)×(XL-X3)+Y3; if X4≤XL<X5, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y5-Y4) / (X5- X4)×(XL-X4)+ Y4; if X5≤XL<X6, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y6-Y5) / (X6- X5)×(XL-X5)+ Y5; if X6≤XL<X7, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y7-Y6) / (X7- X6)×(XL-X6)+ Y6; if X7≤XL<X8, the eight-point calibration fitting curve satisfies: YL=(Y8-Y7) / ( X8- X7)×(XL-X7)+Y7.

[0101] The acquisition module 200 is specifically used to acquire a first tilt angle value of the aerial work platform detected by the leveling sensor. When the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is less than a preset value, the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform is determined to be 0, and when the absolute value of the first tilt angle value is greater than or equal to the preset value, the actual tilt angle value of the aerial work platform is determined to be the absolute value of the first tilt angle value.

[0102] The adjustment module 300 is specifically used to determine the driving enable direction of the proportional valve according to the first tilt angle value, and when the driving enable direction is positive, determine the leveling ratio value to be the first leveling ratio value, and when the driving enable direction is negative, determine the leveling ratio value to be the negative value of the first leveling ratio value. It is also used to input the leveling ratio value into the ramp function control module, so that the ramp function control module increases according to the start ramp or decreases according to the stop ramp in each scanning cycle according to the leveling ratio value, so that when the leveling ratio value is reached, the value gradually changes, and the proportional valve control module generates a driving current according to the gradually changing value to level the aerial work platform.

[0103] The proportional valve is preset with a first dither frequency range and a first amplitude current range, wherein the first dither frequency range includes 100 Hz-200 Hz, and the first amplitude current range includes 100 mA-250 mA.

[0104] In summary, the calibration module in the embodiment of the present invention is used to pre-calibrate the correspondence between the inclination angle values ​​of multiple groups of aerial work platforms and the proportional values ​​output by the proportional valve, and to obtain a multi-point calibration fitting curve by fitting. The acquisition module is used to obtain the actual inclination angle value of the aerial work platform. The adjustment module is used to obtain the leveling proportional value output by the proportional valve according to the actual inclination angle value and the multi-point calibration fitting curve, and input the leveling proportional value into the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module, so that the slope function control module and the proportional valve control module level the aerial work platform according to the leveling proportional value. In this way, the output is controlled by a pre-set multi-point calibration fitting curve, and its setting parameters are all located in the first quadrant, which can better control the output and achieve the purpose of stable output and precise control. In addition, through the slope function control module, the sudden increase or decrease of the output value is avoided, the impact of leveling can be reduced, and the comfort and stability are improved.
