[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

The terms "include", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article or device. Without more limitations, the element defined by the statement "includes a" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0052] As shown in the flowchart of a hydraulic pump control method provided by an embodiment of the application, the method comprises the following steps. Figure 1

[0053] S101: Obtain a smoke limit power message reported by the engine in real time.

[0054] The smoke limit power message includes the smoke limit power of the engine and the current speed, and the smoke limit power is determined based on the ratio between the current intake air amount and the theoretical air-fuel ratio.

[0055] In some examples, a custom message can be added in advance in the control logic of the engine controller, so that the engine reports the smoke limit power message to the hydraulic pump controller in real time.

[0056] The so-called smoke limit power can be understood as follows: Since the intake air amount of the engine does not reach the maximum during the transient loading process, the torque of the engine is affected, and the engine cannot output the external characteristic power corresponding to each speed at this time, which will be attenuated. As to the degree of attenuation, it can be reflected by the smoke limit oil amount, which can be regarded as the smoke limit power. The smoke limit power = current intake air amount / theoretical air-fuel ratio.

[0057] The so-called theoretical air-fuel ratio refers to the ratio of the minimum amount of air required for complete combustion of fuel to the amount of fuel.

[0058] S102: Correct the smoke limit power by using a pre-calibrated correction coefficient to obtain a corrected smoke limit power.

[0059] The corrected smoke limit power obtained by correcting the smoke limit power by using the pre-calibrated correction coefficient can be understood as corrected smoke limit power = smoke limit power x correction coefficient.

[0060] ​It should be noted that the smoke limit power is corrected by using the pre-calibrated correction coefficient, which can effectively avoid the smoke limit power exceeding the conventional range. Generally, due to the working environment of the excavator, the measurement accuracy of the intake air measurement device, and the deviation of the smoke limit power, the pre-calibrated correction coefficient is used to correct the smoke limit power to obtain the corrected smoke limit power, which can eliminate the deviation of the smoke limit power.

[0061] S103: Determine the corresponding main pump power based on the corrected smoke limit power and the current speed.

[0062] Wherein, after obtaining the corrected smoke limit power, the main pump power can be calculated in combination with the current speed, and the main pump power is a working parameter of the hydraulic pump controller for controlling the hydraulic pump to work.

[0063] Optionally, the implementation process of determining the corresponding main pump power based on the corrected smoke limit power and the current speed can be referred to the steps shown in Figure 2 and the corresponding explanation.

[0064] S104: Trigger the hydraulic pump of the excavator to work according to the main pump power.

[0065] Wherein, because the target oil amount corresponding to the smoke limit power is calculated by the actual intake air amount (i.e. the current intake air amount) at the current speed and the theoretical air-fuel ratio, the oil amount available for engine combustion can be accurately obtained. The target oil amount can be obtained by looking up the engine characteristic table to obtain the corresponding engine torque. Based on the theoretical torque (i.e. the engine torque) at the current intake air amount, the main pump power control can effectively improve the accuracy of the main pump power.

[0066] Optionally, the implementation process of triggering the hydraulic pump of the excavator to work according to the main pump power can be referred to the steps shown in Figure 4 and the corresponding explanation.

[0067] In combination with Figures 2-4The basic idea of the method and the embodiment of the application can be understood as follows: the hydraulic pump is controlled according to the current intake amount in the transient process to load the main pump power, without exceeding the engine transient torque response capability (i.e. the maximum output power of the engine). Since the hydraulic pump needs a power value as a control input signal (the hydraulic pump cannot be controlled according to the air amount type), the air amount and the maximum output power capability of the engine need to be matched. Therefore, the theoretical target oil amount is calculated according to the current intake amount of the engine, and then the engine torque that can be exerted by the engine under the current speed and the target oil amount is found according to the engine universal characteristic table, and the maximum output power of the engine is calculated and output to the hydraulic pump controller for control. The hydraulic pump controller compares the received maximum output power of the engine with the gear setting power of the hydraulic pump, and loads the main pump power according to the minimum value, so as to ensure that the engine speed will not be pressed down and the excavator can operate normally.

[0068] The above-mentioned flow S101-S104 determines the corresponding main pump power based on the smoke limit power of the engine, ensures the best performance output of the engine of the excavator in real time, avoids the engine speed from being reduced, and thus improves the responsiveness and operation efficiency of the excavator.

[0069] As Figure 2 Fig. 4 is a flow diagram of another hydraulic pump control method provided by the embodiment of the application, which includes the following steps.

[0070] S201: determining the corresponding target oil amount based on the corrected smoke limit power.

[0071] The target oil amount represents the oil amount available for the engine to burn.

[0072] In some examples, the target oil amount corresponding to the corrected smoke limit power can be obtained by querying a preset relationship table, and the preset relationship table includes a plurality of sample oil amounts and corresponding sample smoke limit powers.

[0073] In some examples, the corrected smoke limit power can be substituted into a preset oil amount calculation formula to calculate the corresponding target oil amount.

[0074] S202: determining the engine torque corresponding to the target oil amount and the current speed based on the universal characteristic table of the engine.

[0075] The universal characteristic table includes a plurality of sample engine torques, and corresponding sample oil amounts and sample speeds.

[0076] In some examples, the universal characteristic tables of different types of engines are different, and the corresponding universal characteristic table can be found according to the type of the engine.

[0077] It should be emphasized that the engine torque corresponding to the target oil amount and the current speed can be understood as the best torque that the engine can exert based on the current intake amount under transient loading process.

[0078] S203: Determine the corresponding main pump power based on the engine torque.

[0079] Wherein, after obtaining the engine torque corresponding to the target oil amount and the current speed, the corresponding main pump power can be calculated by using the engine torque.

[0080] It should be noted that the main pump power (which can be understood as the hydraulic power of the hydraulic pump of the excavator) can be regarded as the load of the engine. If the load torque that the engine undertakes is greater than the current output torque capacity of the engine, the speed of the engine will decrease, which will lead to poor pump gas capacity, and further reduce the output torque of the engine (the work capacity of the engine is affected by oil and gas). Therefore, based on the engine torque (i.e. the best torque that the engine can exert based on the current intake amount under transient loading process), the corresponding main pump power is determined, which can effectively avoid a series of problems caused by the decrease of the engine speed, such as poor pump gas capacity.

[0081] Optionally, the implementation process of determining the corresponding main pump power based on the engine torque can be referred to the steps shown in Figure 3 and the corresponding explanation.

[0082] The above-mentioned S201-S203 shows the process, which can use the universal characteristic table of the engine to determine the engine torque corresponding to the target oil amount and the current speed, so as to determine the corresponding main pump power by using the best torque that the engine can exert based on the current intake amount under transient loading process, and avoid the decrease of the engine speed.

[0083] As shown in Figure 3 , the flowchart of another hydraulic pump control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown, which includes the following steps.

[0084] S301: Determine the maximum output power of the engine based on the engine torque.

[0085] Wherein, the engine torque and the maximum output power of the engine have a corresponding conversion relationship, and the maximum output power of the engine can be calculated by using the conversion relationship.

[0086] In some examples, the maximum output power corresponding to the engine torque can also be obtained by querying a pre-set relationship table.

[0087] S302: Obtain the gear setting power of the hydraulic pump.

[0088] The gear setting power is based on a manual input from a user of the excavator.

[0089] It can be understood that the excavator is powered by the hydraulic pump when working, and the user adjusts the gear setting power of the hydraulic pump in real time to obtain the self-generated required excavating power.

[0090] S303: Determine the main pump power based on the minimum of the gear setting power and the maximum output power.

[0091] The gear setting power is compared with the maximum output power to obtain the minimum of the gear setting power and the maximum output power, and the minimum is determined as the main pump power.

[0092] In possible embodiments, if the gear setting power is less than the maximum output power, the gear setting power is determined as the main pump power, and if the gear setting power is greater than or equal to the maximum output power, the maximum output power is determined as the main pump power.

[0093] The above-mentioned S301-S303 flow chart determines the main pump power based on the minimum of the gear setting power and the maximum output power of the engine, which not only realizes the engine to exert the maximum output power in real time to improve the responsiveness and working efficiency of the excavator, but also ensures that the main pump power of the excavator will not exceed the power limit specified by the user.

[0094] As shown in Figure 4 Another hydraulic pump control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the flow chart, which includes the following steps.

[0095] S401: Obtain the hydraulic working condition parameters of the excavator.

[0096] The hydraulic working condition parameters include the gear setting speed, the required flow and pressure of the first hydraulic pump, and the required flow and pressure of the second hydraulic pump, and the gear setting speed is based on a manual input from a user of the excavator.

[0097] S402: Calculate the first power limit flow and the second power limit flow based on the main pump power and the hydraulic working condition parameters.

[0098] The hydraulic pump controller of the excavator has a corresponding control logic, which can calculate the first power limit flow and the second power limit flow based on the main pump power and the hydraulic working condition parameters.

[0099] In some examples, in combination with the process of determining the main pump power based on the smoke limit power, the control logic of the hydraulic pump controller for outputting the first power limit flow and the second power limit flow according to the main pump power and the hydraulic working condition parameters can be summarized as Figure 6 ​

[0100] S403: Trigger the first hydraulic pump to work according to the first power limited flow, and the second hydraulic pump to work according to the second power limited flow.

[0101] Wherein, the first hydraulic pump is triggered to work according to the first power limited flow, and the second hydraulic pump is triggered to work according to the second power limited flow, so that the hydraulic power is fully loaded according to the maximum capacity of the engine, ensuring that the action speed and the drop speed are always in the optimal state, and the engine can realize real-time maximum output power to improve the responsiveness and work efficiency of the excavator.

[0102] The above S401-S403 flow can trigger the first hydraulic pump to work according to the first power limited flow and the second hydraulic pump to work according to the second power limited flow by the main pump power and the hydraulic working condition parameters, and the normal operation of the excavator has been completed.
