Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle control, and in particular to a dump vehicle control method and a dump vehicle. Background Art

[0002] A dump truck is a truck used to transport bulk materials (such as sand, stone, soil, coal, building materials, etc.) and is widely used in industries such as construction, mining, agriculture, and waste disposal. The cargo hold of a dump truck is tiltable and is usually located at the rear of the vehicle. It can be hydraulically or mechanically controlled to raise one end of the cargo hold and tilt it to a certain angle, so that the cargo can be unloaded to the ground using its own weight. There are many unloading methods, including side unloading, rear unloading, and bottom unloading, among which rear unloading is more common. Dump trucks can significantly improve loading and unloading efficiency and reduce labor costs. They usually have a large load capacity and can carry a large amount of bulk materials. The cargo can be unloaded quickly, reducing loading and unloading time and improving transportation efficiency.

[0003] When the cargo hold is lifted up with the cargo, the center of gravity of the cargo hold and the cargo becomes higher due to uneven road conditions or different tire pressures, which can easily cause the vehicle to roll over. If the cargo has a certain degree of stickiness, the cargo in the cargo hold will slide out unevenly, which will aggravate the rollover of the vehicle and cause damage to the vehicle. In serious cases, it may cause casualties and safety accidents. Summary of the invention

[0040] In order to solve the problem of how to improve the stability of a dump truck during unloading, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0041] When the unloading instruction is triggered, the horizontal data of the cargo warehouse in a stationary state can be obtained. When the first height of the cargo warehouse is lower than the second height of the cargo warehouse and the difference between the first height and the second height is within the first set range, the side telescopic arm on the first side of the cargo warehouse and the side telescopic arm on the second side of the cargo warehouse can be driven to extend in the direction away from the cargo warehouse. When the side telescopic arm on the first side is extended, one end of the vertical telescopic arm on the side telescopic arm on the first side can be driven to abut against the ground, so that the vertical telescopic arm on the first side increases the support points of the vehicle by contacting one end of the vertical telescopic arm with the ground, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle. In this way, a more solid support force can be provided to the first side of the cargo warehouse during the unloading process to avoid rollover. When the side telescopic arm on the second side is extended and one end of the vertical telescopic arm on the first side is abutted against the ground, the threaded cone on the side telescopic arm on the second side can be driven to rotate and penetrate into the ground to a set depth. When the threaded cone rotates and penetrates into the ground to a set depth, the end of the cargo warehouse close to the head assembly can be driven to move in the direction away from the beam assembly until the angle between the cargo warehouse and the beam assembly is greater than or equal to the first set angle. The gripping force of the threaded cone on the side telescopic arm on the second side and the supporting force of the vertical telescopic arm on the side telescopic arm on the first side can effectively prevent the dump vehicle from tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity during unloading, thereby solving the problem of how to improve the stability of the dump vehicle during unloading.

[0050] Dump trucks lift one end of the cargo hold 31 and tilt it at a certain angle, thereby using the cargo's own weight to unload the cargo to the ground. However, when the cargo hold 31 is lifted up with the cargo, the center of gravity of the cargo hold 31 and the cargo may become higher due to uneven road conditions (often unhardened roads) or different tire pressures, causing the vehicle to roll over. If the cargo has a certain degree of stickiness, causing the cargo in the cargo hold 31 to slide out inconsistently, this will aggravate the rollover of the vehicle, making it easy for the vehicle to be damaged, and in severe cases, it may cause casualties and safety accidents. Figure 2As shown, the dump truck may include a head assembly 01, a beam assembly 02, a cargo assembly 03, and a control assembly. The beam assembly 02 may include a beam frame unit 21, a second travel unit 22, and a support unit 23. The support unit 23 may include a side telescopic arm 231, a vertical telescopic arm 232, and a threaded cone 233. One end of the side telescopic arm 231 may be detachably connected to one side of the beam frame unit 21, and the other end may be fixedly connected to one side of the vertical telescopic arm 232. Figure 4 As shown, the end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 close to the ground can be detachably connected to the threaded cone 233. Multiple support units 23 can be arranged at intervals on both sides of the cargo hold 31 along the driving direction of the dump truck. In order to solve the problem of how to improve the stability of the dump truck during unloading, this embodiment provides a dump truck control method. Figure 1 As shown, the dump truck control method may include steps S10 to S50, and each step is described in detail as follows:

[0051] Step S10, when the unloading instruction is triggered, the cargo hold 31 has not been lifted up yet, and the level data of the cargo hold 31 of the dump truck in a stationary state can be obtained. By obtaining the level data of the cargo hold 31, it is convenient to judge the tilt state of the cargo hold 31 and perform subsequent operations.

[0052] Step S20, the first side may be one side of the cargo hold 31 in the direction of travel of the dump truck, and the second side may be the other side that may be parallel to the first side. The first height may be the height of the first set position of the first side of the cargo hold 31 relative to the reference horizontal plane, and the second height may be the height of the second set position of the second side of the cargo hold 31 relative to the reference horizontal plane. When the first height of the cargo hold 31 is lower than the second height of the cargo hold 31 and the difference between the first height and the second height is within the first set range, when the cargo hold 31 is subsequently raised for unloading, the center of gravity of the vehicle may be offset and easily overturned because the first height of the cargo hold 31 is lower than the second height of the cargo hold 31. At this time, the side telescopic arm 231 on the first side of the cargo hold 31 and the side telescopic arm 231 on the second side of the cargo hold 31 may be driven to extend in a direction away from the cargo hold 31, so that there is enough space to control the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the first side and the threaded cone 233 on the second side for subsequent operations to prevent the vehicle from overturning. The first set position can be symmetrically arranged with the second set position along the central symmetry plane of the cargo hold 31. The symmetrical arrangement in this way can make the measured first height data more accurately compared with the second height data, and avoid errors in comparing the first height with the second height. Subsequent correct operations can prevent the cargo hold 31 from lifting up and raising the center of gravity, which can cause the vehicle to easily roll over.

[0053] Step S30, when the side telescopic arm 231 of the first side is extended, one end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the side telescopic arm 231 of the first side can be driven to contact the ground, so that the vertical telescopic arm 232 of the first side increases the support points of the vehicle and improves the stability of the vehicle by contacting one end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 with the ground. In this way, a stronger support force can be provided to the first side of the cargo hold 31 during unloading to prevent rollover.

[0054] Step S40, when the side telescopic arm 231 of the second side is extended and one end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 of the first side is in contact with the ground, the threaded cone 233 on the side telescopic arm 231 of the second side can be driven to rotate and penetrate into the ground to a set depth. The threaded cone 233 penetrates into the ground to a set depth to provide reliable grip, ensuring that the vehicle will not roll over due to the center of gravity biased toward the first side during unloading. At the same time, after one end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 of the first side is in contact with the ground, the threaded cone 233 on the side telescopic arm 231 of the second side is driven to rotate and penetrate into the ground to a set depth, which can also buffer the reaction force generated when the threaded cone 233 penetrates into the ground, thereby preventing the second height from rising.

[0055] Step S50, when the threaded cone 233 rotates and penetrates into the ground to a set depth (for example, the set depth may be 0.3 to 0.6 meters), after penetrating to the set depth, the end of the cargo hold 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01 may be driven to move in a direction away from the vehicle beam assembly 02 until the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 is greater than or equal to a first set angle (for example, the first set angle may be 40°). Thus, the cargo may slide out of the cargo hold 31 smoothly under the action of gravity. The gripping force of the threaded cone 233 on the side telescopic arm 231 of the second side and the supporting force of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the side telescopic arm 231 of the first side may effectively prevent the dump truck from tipping over due to the center of gravity shift during unloading, thereby improving the stability of the dump truck during unloading.

[0056] In some embodiments, step S50 may include steps S501 to S504, each of which is described in detail as follows:

[0057] Step S501, when the threaded cone 233 rotates and penetrates into the ground to a set depth, it can drive the end of the cargo hold 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01 to move away from the vehicle beam assembly 02, so as to facilitate the lifting of the end of the cargo hold 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01, and the cargo can slide out of the cargo hold 31 smoothly under the action of gravity.

[0058] Step S502, when the end of the cargo hold 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01 moves in the direction away from the vehicle beam assembly 02, the real-time weight of the cargo hold 31 in the unloading state can be obtained, so as to facilitate subsequent operations by judging whether the goods in the cargo hold 31 slide out of the cargo hold 31 in time.

[0059] Step S503, when the change rate of the real-time weight is within the first change range, it means that the change rate of the real-time weight in the unloading state is not within the normal range, and the weight of the goods unloaded in the unloading state is less than the weight of the goods unloaded in the normal situation. At this time, it means that the goods in the cargo hold 31 are sticky or stuck in the cargo hold 31, and the threaded rod 32 can be driven to rotate, so that the threaded rod 32 generates thrust to push the sticky goods out of the cargo hold 31, so as to avoid the sticky or stuck goods from being stranded in the cargo hold 31, thereby avoiding the occurrence of vehicle rollover accidents and improving the unloading efficiency.

[0060] Step S504, when the threaded rod 32 rotates, the real-time weight is within the set weight range and the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 is greater than or equal to the first set angle, thereby ensuring that the goods in the cargo hold 31 slide out smoothly and the vehicle will not roll over.

[0061] In some embodiments, the step S502 of driving the cargo hold 31 to move the end close to the vehicle head assembly 01 in the direction away from the vehicle beam assembly 02 can be to move the cargo hold 31 to a point where the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 is greater than or equal to the second set angle. The second set angle can be greater than or equal to 1 / 2 of the first set angle and less than the first set angle. When the cargo hold 31 moves to a point where the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 is less than 1 / 2 of the first set angle, the tilt angle of the cargo hold 31 is too small, and the thrust of the goods in the cargo hold 31 by driving the threaded rod 32 to rotate cannot smoothly push out the goods. Therefore, the cargo hold 31 can be moved to a point where the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 is greater than or equal to the second set angle and then the threaded rod 32 can be driven to rotate to generate thrust, so that the sticky goods can slide out of the cargo hold 31 smoothly under the action of their own gravity, thereby improving the unloading efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments, step S503 may include:

[0063] Step S5031, when the real-time weight change rate is within the first change range, the first pressure on the first side and the second pressure on the second side can be obtained, and by subsequently comparing the first pressure on the first side with the second pressure on the second side, it is determined whether the cargo on the first side or the cargo on the second side is in a sticky state during the unloading process.

[0064] Step S5032, when the first pressure is greater than the second pressure, it means that the cargo on the first side is stuck in the cargo hold 31 and cannot slide out in time, and the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the first side can be driven to rotate so that the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the first side generates a thrust on the cargo on the first side, and the cargo is smoothly pushed out of the cargo hold 31 under the influence of its own gravity, thereby improving the efficiency of the threaded rod 32 and thus improving the unloading efficiency, avoiding the inconsistency between the cargo on the first side and the cargo on the second side sliding out of the cargo hold 31, avoiding the shift of the center of gravity of the cargo when the cargo hold 31 rises, and reducing the risk of vehicle rollover accidents.

[0065] In some embodiments, step S503 may further include:

[0066] Step S5033, when the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the first side rotates and the rate of change of the real-time weight is within the second range of change, it means that the effect of rotating the threaded rod 32 on the first side on loosening the goods on the first side of the cargo hold 31 is insufficient, and the goods on the first side are still stuck to the cargo hold 31. The first vibrator 331 of the vibration unit 33 can be started to vibrate the first side, thereby further loosening the tightly stacked or stuck goods, ensuring clean unloading and improving unloading efficiency. The first vibrator 331 can be arranged adjacent to the first side, and the vibration auxiliary effect of the first vibrator 331 can make the goods on the first side slide out of the cargo hold 31 more evenly and smoothly, avoiding the inconsistent sliding of the goods on the first and second sides causing the center of gravity of the cargo hold 31 to shift, and avoiding the dump truck from tipping over during unloading.

[0067] In some embodiments, step S40 may include:

[0068] Step S41, when the side telescopic arm 231 on the second side is extended and one end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the first side is in contact with the ground, since the first height of the cargo warehouse 31 is lower than the second height of the cargo warehouse 31 and the difference between the first height and the second height is within a first set range, the end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the first side away from the ground can be driven to extend in a direction away from the ground to a set height, so that the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the first side can increase the first height of the cargo warehouse 31, so as to facilitate leveling with the second height of the cargo warehouse 31.

[0069] Step S42, when the end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the first side away from the ground extends to a set height in a direction away from the ground, after the first height of the cargo hold 31 and the second height of the cargo hold 31 are leveled, the threaded cone 233 on the side telescopic arm 231 on the second side can be driven to rotate and penetrate into the ground to a set depth. When the threaded cone 233 rotates and penetrates into the ground to a set depth, the real-time horizontal plane of the cargo hold 31 is parallel to the reference horizontal plane. The real-time horizontal plane can be a horizontal plane of the cargo hold 31 perpendicular to the first side and the second side. After leveling the cargo hold 31 in this way, the end of the cargo hold 31 close to the head assembly 01 is driven to move in a direction away from the beam assembly 02 until the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the beam assembly 02 is greater than or equal to the first set angle, so as to avoid the first height of the cargo hold 31 and the second height of the cargo hold 31 being inconsistent during unloading, resulting in a shift in the center of gravity, and the grip of the threaded cone 233 on the side telescopic arm 231 on the second side can effectively prevent rollover.

[0070] In some embodiments, step S50 may include steps S521 to S525, each of which is described in detail as follows:

[0071] In step S521 , when the threaded cone 233 rotates and penetrates into the ground to a set depth, the end of the cargo compartment 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01 can be driven to move in a direction away from the vehicle beam assembly 02 .

[0072] Step S522, when one end of the cargo hold 31 close to the vehicle head assembly 01 moves toward a direction away from the vehicle beam assembly 02, the first height and the second height in the unloading state can be obtained, so as to facilitate subsequent operations by comparing the first height and the second height in the unloading state to determine whether the cargo hold 31 is tilted in the driving direction.

[0073] Step S523, when the first height is greater than the second height in the unloading state and the difference between the first height and the second height is within the second set range, it means that the center of gravity of the cargo hold 31 is biased toward the second side and is prone to rollover. The end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side away from the ground can be driven to extend in a direction away from the ground. The second height of the cargo hold 31 is raised by the supporting force provided by the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side to the second side of the cargo hold 31, which can effectively prevent the vehicle from rolling over.

[0074] Step S524, when the end of the second side vertical telescopic arm 232 away from the ground extends in a direction away from the ground, the threaded cone 233 on the first side can be driven to rotate and penetrate into the ground and keep the cargo bin 31 parallel to the reference horizontal plane. The gripping force of the threaded cone 233 on the first side rotating and penetrating into the ground and the supporting force provided by the second side vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side to the cargo bin 31 act on the cargo bin 31, so that when the first height and the second height of the cargo bin 31 are equal, it can be ensured that the subsequent unloading will not roll over.

[0075] Step S525, when the cargo hold 31 remains parallel to the reference horizontal plane, that is, the first height and the second height of the cargo hold 31 are equal, the angle between the cargo hold 31 and the vehicle beam assembly 02 can be driven to be greater than or equal to the first set angle. At this time, the cargo can slide out of the cargo hold 31 under the influence of its own gravity without tipping over, thereby improving the stability of vehicle unloading.

[0076] In some embodiments, step S523 includes:

[0077] Step S5231, when the first height is greater than the second height in the unloading state and the difference between the first height and the second height is within the second set range, the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the second side can be driven to rotate. By driving the rotation of the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the second side, the sticky goods can be loosened so that the goods on the second side can be unloaded as soon as possible to reduce the weight of the goods on the second side, which is convenient for the subsequent driving of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side to support and quickly raise the second height of the cargo bin 31, thereby improving the unloading efficiency and unloading safety.

[0078] Step S5232, when the threaded rod 32 adjacent to the second side rotates, it can drive the end of the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side away from the ground to extend in the direction away from the ground. The supporting force provided by the vertical telescopic arm 232 on the second side can increase the second height of the cargo hold 31 as quickly as possible, so that the first height is equal to the second height, and the cargo hold 31 is prevented from tipping over during unloading, thereby improving the stability of the dump truck during unloading.
