Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular to an electro-hydraulic steering start-stop smooth control system of engineering machinery and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the transformation of engineering machinery to electronic control, intelligentization and greenization, higher requirements are put forward for the steer-by-wire system. There are generally three kinds of steering systems for engineering machinery: deflection type, hinged type and sliding type. Among them, the hinged steering vehicle refers to a vehicle whose vehicle body is composed of two or more separate frames, and the front and rear frames are relatively deflected through hydraulic or other action forms to achieve the purpose of steering, such as loaders, road rollers, land levelers and mine trucks, etc. Compared with other steering modes, hinged steering has many advantages, such as small turning radius, under the same wheelbase and track, the turning radius of hinged steering is about 80% of that of front wheel steering, and if the braking torque is reasonably utilized, the turning radius can be further reduced; the energy consumed in the steering process is low because the sliding resistance does not need to be overcome; there is no relative deflection between the wheels and the frame, and no steering drive axle is needed. These advantages promote more and more manufacturers to choose this simple and efficient steering mode for engineering vehicles. The widespread application of hinged steering engineering vehicles in construction exposes some shortcomings, among which the most influential one on safety is the poor lateral stability. Hinged steering engineering vehicles have road driving requirements in some countries and regions, and the speed is relatively high, so there are higher requirements for steering stability. The conventional flow amplification steering system is prone to have large steering impact and unstable steering when steering at a high vehicle speed. Therefore, the smoothness and safety of hinged steer-by-wire engineering vehicles are gradually valued by people. SUMMARY
