In order to meet the needs of the market, major excavator manufacturers have launched multi-functional auxiliary tools. When the working device of an excavator is equipped with multi-functional auxiliary tools (such as a breaker, hydraulic shears, etc.), the required pressure and flow rate vary greatly depending on the performance of the auxiliary tools. Even for the same type or the same auxiliary tool, the pressure and flow rate required for the auxiliary tool are different in different application scenarios. The existing pressure and flow rate regulation is mostly manually adjusted, or not adjusted at all.

[0056] Another object of the present invention is to provide a control method for an excavator including the above-mentioned auxiliary implement adjustment system and applied to the above-mentioned auxiliary implement adjustment system.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 .

[0058] The present specific embodiment provides an auxiliary tool adjustment system, including an information acquisition device, a main valve assembly 2, a control valve assembly 3, a pump assembly 1 and a controller 4; wherein the information acquisition device is used to obtain the type information of the auxiliary tool connected to the auxiliary tool adjustment system and the current gear information; the main valve assembly 2 is used to connect with the auxiliary tool and provide hydraulic oil for the auxiliary tool; the main valve assembly 2 includes a first relief valve 21, a second relief valve 22 and a reversing valve 23, the liquid inlet of the reversing valve 23 is connected to the pump assembly 1, the liquid return port of the reversing valve 23 is used to connect to the reflux oil tank, the first interface of the reversing valve 23 is connected to the first relief valve 21, and the reversing valve 23 is connected to the second relief valve 22.

[0059] In actual use, since the auxiliary tool adjustment system can be connected to different types of auxiliary tools, in actual use, first, it is necessary to obtain the type information of the auxiliary tool connected to the auxiliary tool adjustment system and the current gear information, and then obtain the standard flow information, standard pressure information and hydraulic oil flow direction standard of the auxiliary tool according to the type information of the auxiliary tool; and control the action of the control valve assembly 3 according to the type information of the auxiliary tool, so that the flow direction of the hydraulic oil in the main valve assembly 2 matches the hydraulic oil flow direction standard of the auxiliary tool; control and adjust the program torque value of the pump assembly 1 according to the standard flow and gear information, so that the liquid inlet flow of the auxiliary tool is the standard flow; control and adjust the opening of the first overflow valve 21 and the second overflow valve 22 according to the standard pressure and gear information, so that the liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool is the standard pressure.

[0060] It should be noted that different types of assistive devices of the same type have different type information in this application to facilitate the control of assistive devices of the same type but different types.

[0061] In addition, in order to shorten the adjustment time during actual use, the auxiliary tool needs to be tested before actual use to obtain the program torque value of the pump component 1 corresponding to the standard flow and standard pressure of the auxiliary tool, the torque value of the engine in the auxiliary tool adjustment system, the outlet flow of the pump component 1, the opening degree of the first relief valve 21, the opening degree of the second relief valve 22, the liquid outlet direction of the main valve component 2 and other information under different gear information, and store them in the program torque value of the pump component 1 corresponding to the standard flow and standard pressure of the auxiliary tool, the torque value of the engine in the auxiliary tool adjustment system The torque value, outlet flow of the pump assembly 1, the opening of the first relief valve 21, the opening of the second relief valve 22, the liquid outlet direction of the main valve assembly 2 and other information can be directly adjusted according to the type information and gear information of the auxiliary tool, so that the liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool can be quickly adjusted to the standard pressure, and the liquid inlet flow of the auxiliary tool can be quickly adjusted to the standard flow.

[0062] In this specific embodiment, for different auxiliary tools, the liquid inlet pressure and liquid inlet flow of the auxiliary tool can be adjusted according to the specific use requirements of the auxiliary tool, and according to the preset standard pressure and standard flow, the auxiliary tool can work under standard pressure and standard flow, which meets the different requirements of pressure and flow when different auxiliary tools are used, and can effectively improve the operating speed of the auxiliary tool, maximize the role of the auxiliary tool, and extend the service life of the auxiliary tool.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the auxiliary tool adjustment system also includes an operating handle 6, and the information acquisition device includes a direction acquisition unit for acquiring the swing direction information of the handle. The direction acquisition unit transmits the acquired swing direction information to the controller 4. The controller 4 controls the action of the control valve assembly 3 according to the swing direction information to adjust the flow direction of the hydraulic oil in the main valve assembly 2.

[0064] In actual use, Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the operating handle 6 may be swung to the right, and the controller 4 controls the main pump 11 to supply oil to the P1 port of the reversing valve 23, and at the same time, through the action of the first solenoid valve 31, the valve core of the reversing valve 23 slides to the left to the left position, and the hydraulic oil circuit supplies oil to the auxiliary tool through the BO port, and at the same time, the oil circuit returns to the AO port; the operating handle 6 may be swung to the left, and the controller 4 controls the main pump 11 to supply oil to the P1 port of the reversing valve 23, and at the same time, through the action of the second solenoid valve 32, the valve core of the reversing valve 23 slides to the right to the right position, and the hydraulic oil circuit supplies oil to the auxiliary tool through the AO port, and at the same time, the oil circuit returns to the BO port.

[0065] Of course, the operating handle 6 may also include deflection in other directions, which is determined according to actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, the auxiliary tool adjustment system may further include a testing device 7, which is connected to the main valve assembly 2, and includes a first flow detection component for obtaining the liquid inlet flow of the auxiliary tool and a first pressure detection component for obtaining the liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool.

[0067] In actual use, when encountering a new auxiliary tool, and the database does not store the relevant information corresponding to the auxiliary tool, you can obtain the corresponding relevant values ​​of the auxiliary tool in different gears through experiments. Specifically, the steps are as follows:

[0068] The first step is to obtain the type information of the auxiliary tool and the current gear information;

[0069] The second step is to obtain the preset pressure range and preset flow range of the auxiliary tool according to the type information of the auxiliary tool;

[0070] In the second step, the preset pressure range and preset flow range of the auxiliary tool can be obtained according to the instruction manual of the auxiliary tool.

[0071] The third step is to adjust the first test torque value of the engine in the auxiliary tool adjustment system and adjust the second test torque value of the pump assembly 1;

[0072] Step 4: Record the outlet pressure of the pump assembly 1, the liquid inlet flow rate of the auxiliary tool, and the liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool under the current second test torque value;

[0073] The fifth step is to determine whether the auxiliary tool liquid inlet flow rate is within the preset flow rate range and the auxiliary tool liquid inlet pressure is within the preset pressure range at the same time. If so, record the current first test torque value, the second test torque value, the opening of the first relief valve 21 and the opening of the second relief valve 22; if not, proceed to the next step;

[0074] If the auxiliary device's liquid inlet flow rate is within the preset flow rate range and the auxiliary device's liquid inlet pressure is within the preset pressure range at the same time, then the current auxiliary device's liquid inlet flow rate and auxiliary device's liquid inlet pressure meet the auxiliary device's use requirements, the current auxiliary device's liquid inlet flow rate can be set to the standard flow rate, and the current auxiliary device's liquid inlet pressure can be set to the standard pressure; and record the first test torque value, the second test torque value, the first opening of the first overflow valve 21, and the second opening of the second overflow valve 22 at this time; when the auxiliary device is used again, adjust the engine to the first test torque value, adjust the pump assembly 1 to the second test torque value, adjust the opening of the first overflow valve 21 to the first opening, and adjust the opening of the second overflow valve 22 to the second opening, so that the auxiliary device's liquid inlet flow rate is the standard flow rate and the auxiliary device's liquid inlet pressure is the standard pressure.

[0075] Step 6: readjust the first test torque value of the engine in the auxiliary tool adjustment system, readjust the second test torque value of the pump assembly 1, and return to step 4.

[0076] It should be noted that the above steps are test steps for the same gear information. For different gear information, after adjusting the gear information, the first to sixth steps can be repeated to complete data recording under different gear information, and the relevant data information that meets the requirements can be stored in the database.

[0077] It should be noted that, for different auxiliary tools, the types of auxiliary tools include one-way oil inlet and two-way oil inlet. The hydraulic oil flow direction of the main valve assembly 2 is adjusted specifically according to the type of auxiliary tools.

[0078] In actual use, for different gear information, in the actual execution of the first to sixth steps above, when the auxiliary adjustment system is applied to the excavator, the final calibration of the torque value of each gear requires the following requirements:

[0079] Gear 4 (pressure 100%, flow 100%) meets the performance requirements; gear 5 (pressure 90%, flow 90%) meets the performance requirements; gear 6 (pressure 90%, flow 80%) meets the performance requirements; gear 7 (pressure 80%, flow 70%) meets the performance requirements; gear 8 (pressure 80%, flow 60%) meets the performance requirements; gear 9 (pressure 70%, flow 50%) meets the performance requirements; gear 10 (pressure 60%, flow 40%) meets the performance requirements.

[0080] On the basis of the above embodiment, the auxiliary tool adjustment system may further include a display device 5, which is used to display the standard liquid inlet flow rate, real-time liquid inlet flow rate, standard liquid inlet pressure and real-time liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool.

[0081] During actual use, the display device 5 displays the standard liquid inlet flow, real-time liquid inlet flow, standard liquid inlet pressure and real-time liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool, so that the staff can observe the liquid inlet flow and liquid inlet pressure of the auxiliary tool in a timely manner.

[0082] In a specific embodiment, the control valve assembly 3 may include a first solenoid valve 31 and a second solenoid valve 32; when the first solenoid valve 31 is powered on, the first relief valve 21 discharges oil and the second relief valve 22 returns oil; when the second solenoid valve 32 is powered on, the first relief valve 21 returns oil and the second relief valve 22 discharges oil. By controlling the on and off of the first solenoid valve 31 and the second solenoid valve 32, the oil discharge direction of the control valve assembly 3 may be controlled.

[0083] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the pump assembly 1 may include a main pump 11 and a gear pump 12. During actual use, the flow rate discharged by the main pump 11 is controlled by the controller 4 to achieve the flow rate required by the auxiliary tool function.

[0084] The information acquisition device may include a touch screen, which is provided with a virtual key for the type of auxiliary tool and a virtual key for the gear position. By touching the virtual keys, the type information of the auxiliary tool and the gear position information can be selected and input.

[0085] It should be noted that in actual use, when the opening adjustment auxiliary device of the first relief valve 21 and the second relief valve 22 is controlled by the controller 4 to adjust the hydraulic pressure, it is generally divided according to the percentage of the minimum pressure to the maximum pressure of the reversing valve 23. If the minimum is 0% and the maximum pressure is 100%, the actual working pressure will be low. We optimize the program and edit the intermediate pressure to 0% and the maximum pressure to 100%, so that it can adapt to the actual working conditions of the excavator. In general, the maximum pressure is the main overflow pressure of the reversing valve 23.

[0086] When the controller 4 controls the flow rate discharged by the main pump 11 to adjust the inlet flow rate of the auxiliary tool, the adjustment here is divided according to the percentage of the minimum displacement to the maximum displacement of the main pump 11. If the minimum displacement is 0% and the maximum displacement is 100%, the actual working flow rate will be low. We optimize the program and edit the middle displacement to 0% and the maximum displacement to 100%, so that it can adapt well to the actual working conditions of the excavator.

[0087] In addition to the above-mentioned auxiliary tool adjustment system, the present invention also provides an excavator including the above-mentioned auxiliary tool adjustment system. For the structures of other parts of the excavator, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail herein.
