[0002] The walking stability of the excavator is an important indicator of the handling quality of the whole vehicle. At present, the high and low speed switching of most excavators is realized by controlling the hydraulic pilot. When receiving the high and low speed instructions, the hydraulic motor switches the displacement based on the pilot oil. The motor uses a small displacement at high speed and a large displacement at low speed. The high and low speed switching of the excavator is realized by adjusting the size of the motor displacement.

[0046] At present, for most excavators, high and low speed switching is achieved by controlling the hydraulic pilot. When receiving high and low speed instructions, the hydraulic motor switches between large and small displacements based on the pilot oil. At high speed, the motor uses a small displacement, and at low speed, the motor uses a large displacement. The high and low speed switching of the excavator is achieved by adjusting the size of the motor displacement.

[0047] The inventor of this solution has found that when switching from high speed to low speed, the motor displacement is controlled by the pilot oil pressure and increases instantly, causing the pressure (load) to suddenly decrease. At this time, the walking speed will suddenly slow down, and there will be a certain impact. On the contrary, when switching from low speed to high speed, the motor displacement will suddenly decrease, and the pressure (load) will increase sharply. This process will be accompanied by a more obvious impact. If the deviation of the left and right pressure changes is too large, it may even cause deviation.

[0048] Based on this, the present invention optimizes the high and low speed control logic of the excavator as follows: on the basis of the original motor control, the following is introduced: Figure 1 The control of the left pump solenoid valve and the right pump solenoid valve is shown. The load size of the left and right circuits is further judged by the left pressure sensor and the right pressure sensor, and the pump solenoid valve is fine-tuned to achieve a smooth transition when the excavator switches between high and low speeds.

[0049] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a high-speed and low-speed switching control method for an excavator, comprising: S100, S200 and S300;

[0051] S100, when the excavator switches between high and low speeds, determining the type of the high and low speed switching;

[0052] For example, Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the S100 includes: S110;

[0053] S110. When the excavator switches between high and low speeds, the type of high and low speed switching is determined according to the high and low speed switching instruction.

[0054] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, after receiving the high-low speed switching instruction, the controller can determine the type of high-low speed switching based on the meaning represented by the high-low speed switching instruction. For example, the high-low speed switching instruction can be a digital variable. When the high-low speed switching instruction = 0, it means switching from high speed to low speed; when the high-low speed switching instruction = 1, it means switching from low speed to high speed. The present invention does not limit this.

[0055] S200, if the type of high-low speed switching is switching from low speed to high speed, after synchronously reducing the motor flow and motor displacement, controlling the motor displacement to remain unchanged and increasing the motor flow to smoothly switch to high speed;

[0056] For example, Figure 4 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the S200 includes: S210, S220 and S230;

[0057] S210, if the type of high-low speed switching is switching from low speed to high speed, then the motor flow and motor displacement are synchronously reduced in the same proportion;

[0058] S220, after reducing the motor displacement to the first preset displacement, maintaining the motor displacement at the first preset displacement;

[0059] S230. Control the pump flow to increase according to a preset increase rate to increase the motor flow, thereby increasing the motor speed to smoothly switch to a high speed, wherein the motor flow is equal to the pump flow.

[0060] Optionally, the high speed and low speed of the excavator are related to the motor speed. If the motor speed is high, it is a high gear; if the motor speed is low, it is a low gear. Motor speed = motor flow (also pump flow, the flow of each component is the same under a closed loop, the pump is the source) ÷ motor displacement, the present invention does not limit this.

[0061] Optionally, before and after switching from low speed to high speed, the motor displacement changes from large to small. Assuming that the motor displacement before switching is QMA and the motor displacement after switching is QMB, in order to reduce the impact before and after switching and reduce the risk of deviation, it is necessary to ensure that the hydraulic transmission ratio before and after switching remains unchanged. Assuming that the displacement of the hydraulic pump before switching is QPA and after switching is QPB, then: QPB = QPA × QMB ÷ QMA.

[0062] Optionally, excluding factors such as leakage and overflow, the hydraulic transmission ratio of the closed system = pump displacement ÷ motor displacement. The hydraulic transmission ratio is similar to the mechanical transmission ratio, except that the hydraulic transmission is softer and has better buffering. The hydraulic transmission ratio remains unchanged to ensure that the pressure of the hydraulic system will not fluctuate violently, which can cause impact and deviation. Because the left and right travels are two closed circuits, if the pressure difference between the two sides is large, deviation will occur, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0063] Optionally, during the process of switching from low speed to high speed, the present invention can control the pump displacement from QPB to QPA at a certain rate, and the motor displacement is initially maintained at QMB, so that the motor displacement changes with the change of the pump displacement. The adjustment rate of the pump displacement is affected by the left and right pressure difference, and the side with high pressure adjusts faster and the side with low pressure adjusts slower.

[0064] The adjustment rate of the pump displacement is the core of the excavator hydraulic system debugging, and the main influencing factors are: engine load rate, engine speed drop, hydraulic system pressure, water temperature, oil temperature and engine intake pressure, etc. The present invention can achieve the adjustment of the pump response speed through PT filtering adjustment. The fluctuation of pressure / speed is affected by the response speed of the main pump, and the response speed of the main pump is controlled by the control current (the influence of mechanical response speed is not considered for the time being), and the speed of change of the control current is affected by the filtering time. The output after filtering y=y÷z+(xy÷z)×DT÷T1. It can be seen from the above formula that the longer the filtering time T1, the slower the signal follows. Figure 5 The figures show the comparison between the filtered signal and the original signal when the filtering time is 10DT and 20DT, respectively, and the present invention does not impose any limitation on this.

[0065] S300, if the type of high-speed switching is switching from high speed to low speed, after synchronously increasing the motor flow and motor displacement, the motor displacement is controlled to remain unchanged and the motor flow is reduced to smoothly switch to low speed.

[0066] For example, Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the S300 includes: S310, S320 and S330;

[0067] S310, if the type of high-low speed switching is high speed switching to low speed, the motor flow and motor displacement are increased synchronously at the same ratio;

[0068] S320, after increasing the motor displacement to the second preset displacement, maintaining the motor displacement at the second preset displacement;

[0069] S330. Control the pump flow to decrease according to a preset reduction rate to reduce the motor flow, thereby reducing the rotation speed of the motor to smoothly switch to a low speed, wherein the motor flow is equal to the pump flow.

[0070] Optionally, before and after switching from high speed to low speed, the motor displacement changes from small to large. Assume that the motor displacement before switching is QMA and the motor displacement after switching is QMB. At this time, in order to reduce the impact before and after switching and reduce the risk of deviation, it is necessary to ensure that the hydraulic transmission ratio before and after switching remains unchanged. Assume that the displacement of the hydraulic pump before switching is QPA and after switching is QPB, then: QPB = QPA × QMB ÷ QMA.

[0071] Optionally, during the process of switching from high speed to low speed, the present invention can control the pump displacement from QPB to QPA (if QPA is the maximum pump displacement, it remains unchanged) at a certain rate, and the motor displacement remains unchanged at QMB. The pump adjustment rate is affected by the left and right pressure differences, the side with high pressure adjusts slowly, and the side with low pressure adjusts quickly.

[0072] In summary, the present invention achieves smoothness before and after switching and reduces the impact and risk of deviation by keeping the pump / motor transmission ratio (displacement ratio) unchanged. The pump displacement change rate is adjusted by the left and right pressures. This change rate has a direct impact on the high and low speed switching feeling, and in practice, it needs to be adjusted on-site based on the subjective feelings of the operator.

[0073] Although operations are depicted in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that the operations be performed in the particular order shown or in a sequential order.Multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous under certain circumstances.

[0074] It should be understood that the various steps described in the method embodiments of the present invention may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. In addition, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present invention is not limited in this respect.
