Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lifting equipment, in particular to an assembly lifting vehicle. In addition, the present invention also relates to a control method for controlling the assembly lifting vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At construction machinery manufacturing and assembly and equipment maintenance sites, there are some heavy workpieces (such as vehicle engines, axles, power battery packs, etc.) that need to be assembled from the bottom of the equipment to the inside of the equipment. In this assembly scenario, the assembly space is limited due to the obstruction of the top of the equipment and the periphery of the vehicle body. At traditional assembly sites, rollers are usually set at the bottom of the workpiece, and the workpiece is moved to the bottom of the equipment to be assembled by tools such as hand winches and crowbars. The workpiece is then lifted to a specified height by a jack or hand winch, and finally the position of the workpiece is adjusted by adjusting the handwheel winch until the assembly requirements are met. Although this assembly method can complete the on-site assembly, during the operation, workers need to enter the narrow internal space of the equipment to be assembled to work, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low assembly efficiency, and there is a safety risk of pinching or hitting workers.

[0003] With the development of industrial technology, although some auxiliary assembly transfer lifting vehicles have emerged to make up for the problems of high labor intensity and low assembly efficiency of workers in the transmission assembly method, there are also shortcomings. For example, the lifting device based on Mecanum wheels disclosed in China's invention patent CN113044761B and the light hydraulic lifting vehicle with Mecanum wheels for archives disclosed in China's utility model patent CN218058306U, the chassis of these two assembly devices are driven by Mecanum wheels. Although Mecanum wheels are flexible in movement, have a small turning radius, and are easy to achieve all-round movement, they are suitable for assembling workpieces in limited spaces. The hydraulic cylinder-driven lifting platform integrated on the vehicle can also quickly lift the workpiece to a specified height, but Mecanum wheels have high requirements for the flatness of the ground. Under complex road conditions, the four wheels cannot touch the ground at the same time. When moving under complex road conditions, they are easy to shake and cannot run smoothly, resulting in the risk of bumping and falling when transporting workpieces. For example, in a fully automatic electric lift disclosed in Chinese utility model patent CN207551823U, a scissor-type lifting mechanism is provided on the electric forklift, and a cross adjustment platform is provided on the top of the scissor-type lifting mechanism. Although it can quickly and conveniently realize the transfer and lifting of large workpieces, the device adopts a three-wheel structure, and its stability and load-bearing capacity are relatively poor. There is a risk of overturning under complex road conditions, and the position of the workpiece can only be adjusted horizontally and vertically, and it cannot flexibly realize omnidirectional adjustment.

When the handle is released at the designated position, the working platform 220 will immediately stop lifting and lock. When the installation surface angle of the workpiece needs to be adjusted, the telescopic cylinder 122 of the suspension shock absorber 120 can be manually controlled by the remote control 302 to adjust the angle so that the workpiece is in the best assembly posture, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the specific steps of the control system 300 for controlling the driving component to travel are as follows: A1, obtaining the linear velocity and angular velocity of the traveling chassis 100; A2, calculating the speed of the axis position of each Mecanum wheel 130 according to the linear velocity and angular velocity of the traveling chassis 100; A3, calculating the speed of each Mecanum wheel 130 roller according to the speed of each Mecanum wheel 130 axis position; A4, calculating the speed of each Mecanum wheel 130 according to the speed of each Mecanum wheel 130 roller; A5, calculating the target speed of the driving component according to the speed of each Mecanum wheel 130; A6, according to the target speed of the driving component, the control system 300 controls the speed of the driving component.

[0052] like Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, six telescopic cylinders 122 are arranged in groups of two, so that three pairs of valve groups are used to control the operation of the three telescopic cylinders 122. The stroke sensor 305 is arranged on the telescopic cylinder 122. The solenoid valve group 304 includes multiple rising solenoid valves and multiple falling solenoid valves. The rising solenoid valves, the falling solenoid valves and each group of telescopic cylinders 122 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. When performing swing control of multiple suspension shock absorbers 120, the monitoring data of the stroke sensor 305 in the telescopic cylinder 122 is first collected by the controller 301 to calculate the average stroke of each group of telescopic cylinders 122, and to determine whether the average stroke of each group of telescopic cylinders 122 is equal to half of the total stroke. If they are equal, there is no need to perform swing adjustment. As long as one group is not equal, the oil pump motor in the hydraulic pump station 170 is started, and each group is collected in real time. The monitoring values ​​of the stroke sensors 305 in the telescopic cylinders 122 are respectively calculated, and the average values ​​of the strokes of the two telescopic cylinders 122 in each group are calculated. When the average value is less than half of the total stroke of the telescopic cylinders 122, the ascending solenoid valve of the group is opened and the descending solenoid valve is closed. When the average value is greater than half of the total stroke of the telescopic cylinders 122, the descending solenoid valve of the group is opened and the ascending solenoid valve is closed. When the average value is equal to half of the total stroke of the telescopic cylinders 122, the ascending solenoid valve and the descending solenoid valve are closed until all the three groups of telescopic cylinders 122 are adjusted. Finally, the oil pump motor in the hydraulic pump station 170 is stopped, so that the walking chassis 100 can adjust the height of the Mecanum wheel 130 from the chassis body 110 in real time during the walking process, so as to ensure that each Mecanum wheel 130 is in contact with the road surface, thereby ensuring that the whole vehicle can run smoothly. After the lifting assembly 200 completes lifting the workpiece, when the angle of the workpiece mounting surface needs to be adjusted, a control command is sent to the controller 301 through the remote control 302 to control the rising solenoid valve and the falling solenoid valve corresponding to the group of telescopic cylinders 122 to be operated through the command signal until the adjustment of the mounting surface angle is completed.

[0053] In this embodiment, the specific steps of A1 are as follows:

[0054] The linear velocity and angular velocity of the walking chassis 100 are obtained by the remote controller 302, and the left and right sides of the walking chassis 100 are taken as the X axis and the front and back sides are taken as the Y axis to decompose the movement of the walking chassis 100 into v tx 、v ty , Among them, v tx Indicates the speed of the X-axis movement, with rightward direction being positive; v ty Indicates the speed of Y-axis movement, with forward direction being positive; Indicates the angular velocity of the Yaw axis rotation, with counterclockwise being positive.

[0058] is the velocity vector of the wheel axis;

[0059] The wheel axis is perpendicular to The velocity component in the direction of (i.e., tangential direction);

[0060]

[0061] The speed of each Mecanum wheel 130 axis position is:

[0062]

[0063] The specific steps of A3 are as follows:

[0064] Decompose the speed along the roller direction and the speed perpendicular to the roller direction The speed It will only make the roller idle and can be ignored, only the speed Only then will the traveling chassis 100 be driven to move forward, specifically:

[0065]

[0066] in, is a unit vector along the roller direction.

[0067] The specific steps of A4 are as follows:

[0068] The speed of the roller is decomposed into the X-axis and Y-axis directions. The speed diagram of the four driving wheels is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the wheel speed is:

[0069]

[0070] a is the distance from the center of the Mecanum wheel axle 130 to the center of the chassis motion in the X-axis direction, and b is the distance from the center of the Mecanum wheel axle 130 to the center of the chassis motion in the Y-axis direction, then

[0071]

[0072] Combining the first four steps, the speeds of the four wheels can be calculated according to the motion state of the walking chassis 100:

[0073]

[0074] The specific steps of A5 are as follows:

[0075] Calculated based on the speed of each wheel and the reduction ratio of the reducer 142:

[0076]

[0077] Wherein, R represents the radius of the Mecanum wheel 130 , and i represents the reduction ratio of the reducer 142 .

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the controller 301 performs PID control on the rotation speed of the driving motor 141 .

[0079] It should be understood that during PID control, the target speed of each motor is compared with the actual speed of the motor fed back by the encoder, and the deviation between the two is calculated, and the deviation is used as the controlled object for control.
