Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the current field of engineering machinery, excavators are important earth-moving equipment and are widely used in various construction, mining and rescue scenarios. However, when the excavator is in and out of the warehouse or working in a small space, the driver faces great challenges in operating the excavator due to the complex and changeable working environment. On the one hand, the driving experience and skill levels of different drivers vary greatly, and there are significant differences in their ability to grasp the spatial distance and dynamic response of the excavator. Especially for novice drivers or operators who have not operated a specific model of excavator for a long time, they often find it difficult to quickly familiarize themselves with and master the control performance of the excavator, including its action response speed, maximum working range and other key parameters. This leads to the fact that in actual operation, the operator may cause a collision accident between the excavator and surrounding objects due to misjudgment; on the other hand, although the driver can use the excavator's rearview mirror and reversing image system to evaluate the distance between the excavator and surrounding obstacles, this visual-dependent method is not only inefficient, but also affected by multiple factors such as weather, light and blind spots, which greatly increases the difficulty of operation and safety hazards, not only causing equipment damage, but also may cause casualties, causing significant losses to enterprises and individuals.

Figure 1 It is the overall framework diagram corresponding to the present invention, which will be described in detail below.

[0093] Embodiment 1

[0094] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 : is a flow chart of an intelligent anti-collision control method for an excavator disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The method shown can be applied to working scenarios of excavators of any size and in any environmental conditions, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent anti-collision control method of the excavator may include the following operations:

[0095] 101. Measure the target distance data between all target obstacles and the excavator;

[0096] In the embodiment of the present invention, the target obstacle is an obstacle existing around the excavator; the measurement can be performed by laser sensors, radars, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention;

[0097] 102. Based on the target distance data corresponding to all target obstacles, an electronic fence corresponding to the excavator is constructed and displayed on a display screen corresponding to the excavator;

[0098] In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic fence can be constructed based on the target distance data by using the obstacle drawing technology, and the change of the target distance data can be monitored in real time to construct a real-time electronic fence;

[0099] 103. Construct an excavator model corresponding to the excavator and display it on the display screen;

[0100] In the embodiment of the present invention, the real-time relative position of the excavator model and the electronic fence can be displayed on the display screen. The excavator model and the electronic fence can be either flat or three-dimensional. After the excavator model and the electronic fence are constructed, the movable space range of the excavator can also be determined based on the real-time relative position of the excavator model and the electronic fence and displayed on the display screen. Figure 3 It is a three-dimensional display diagram of the model excavator and the electronic fence corresponding to the excavator; Figure 4 It is a plan view showing the range of movable space corresponding to the excavator; Figure 5 It is a three-dimensional display diagram of the movable space range corresponding to the excavator;

[0101] 104. When it is detected that the actual working control switch of the excavator is turned on, based on the operating lever control signal of the excavator, the excavator is controlled to perform the target actual action corresponding to the operating lever control signal;

[0102] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the actual working control switch is turned on, the excavator can work according to the control signal of the operating lever, and when the actual working control switch is turned off, the excavator cannot work according to the control signal of the operating lever;

[0103] 105. Determine a first virtual action of the excavator model based on the target actual action of the excavator and the excavator model;

[0104] 106. Establishing a real-time synchronous association between the first virtual action of the excavator model and the target actual action of the excavator, and displaying the first virtual action on the display screen;

[0105] In the embodiment of the present invention, it can be understood that when the excavator starts working, the target actual action of the excavator can be detected, and the first virtual action corresponding to the target actual action can be synchronously executed on the excavator model on the display screen;

[0106] 107. After the real-time synchronous association is established, when the first virtual action of the excavator model displayed on the display screen is used to indicate that the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than a predetermined first collision threshold, a first collision prompt message is sent to an operator corresponding to the excavator;

[0107] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first collision prompt information is used to prompt the operator that the excavator is at risk of colliding with the target obstacle; it can be understood that, since the first virtual action corresponds to the target actual action, when the distance between the edge of the excavator model displayed on the display screen and the electronic fence is lower than the first collision threshold, the distance between the excavator itself and the target obstacle is also lower than the corresponding threshold, that is, it can be judged whether there is a collision risk between the excavator and the target obstacle by the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence;

[0108] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention can measure the target distance data between all target obstacles and the excavator, build an electronic fence corresponding to the excavator based on the target distance data corresponding to all target obstacles and display it on the display screen corresponding to the excavator, build an excavator model corresponding to the excavator and display it on the display screen, and when it is detected that the actual working control switch of the excavator is turned on, based on the control signal of the operating lever of the excavator, control the excavator to perform the target actual action corresponding to the control signal of the operating lever, determine the first virtual action of the excavator model based on the target actual action of the excavator and the excavator model, establish a real-time synchronous association between the first virtual action of the excavator model and the target actual action of the excavator, and The simulated action is displayed on the display screen. After the real-time synchronous association is established, when the first virtual action of the excavator model displayed on the display screen is used to indicate that the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than a predetermined first collision threshold, a first collision prompt information is issued to the operator corresponding to the excavator; the present invention determines whether there is a collision risk between the excavator and the target obstacle through the relative position relationship between the electronic fence and the excavator model, and issues a prompt information to the operator when there is a collision risk, which is not only conducive to reducing the reliance on the operator's experience and judgment, improving the operating safety of the excavator in complex environments, and reducing the collision accident rate, but also can improve the operating efficiency and accuracy of the excavator.

[0109] In an optional embodiment, before measuring the target distance data between all target obstacles and the excavator in the above step 101, the method may further include:

[0110] Detecting the working parameters of the excavator, the working parameters at least including the action response speed and / or the working range of the excavator; the working range is determined by the current position of the excavator;

[0111] Determine whether the action response speed is greater than or equal to a preset action response speed threshold and / or whether the working range is greater than or equal to a preset working range threshold, and when the action response speed is greater than or equal to the action response speed threshold and / or the working range is greater than or equal to the working range threshold, trigger the operation of measuring the target distance data between all target obstacles and the excavator in the above step 101;

[0112] And, the method may further include:

[0113] When the first virtual action of the excavator model displayed on the display screen is used to indicate that the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than a first collision threshold, reducing the action response speed of the excavator;

[0114] When the first virtual action of the excavator model displayed on the display screen is used to indicate that the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than a predetermined second collision threshold, the excavator is controlled to stop working; wherein the second collision threshold is less than the first collision threshold.

[0115] In this optional embodiment, it can be understood that when the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the first collision threshold, reducing the excavator's action response speed can reduce the possibility of collision caused by delays in the display synchronization of the virtual excavator due to the excavator's excessively fast action response speed, while also giving the operator more time to adjust and reduce the risk of collision; when the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than a predetermined second collision threshold, controlling the excavator to stop working can be understood as cutting off the control signal when the excavator is about to collide with the target obstacle, thereby preventing a collision accident from occurring.

[0116] It can be seen that this optional embodiment is capable of detecting the working parameters of the excavator and determining whether the working parameters meet the corresponding conditions. If so, the target distance data between all target obstacles and the excavator is measured, and when the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the first collision threshold, the action response speed of the excavator is reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the possibility of collision caused by excessive response speed of the excavator and delay in display synchronization of the virtual excavator; when the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the second collision threshold, the excavator is controlled to stop working, which is beneficial to further reduce the risk of collision and improve the operating safety of the excavator in complex environments.

[0117] In another optional embodiment, the method may further include:

[0118] When it is detected that the actual working control switch of the excavator is turned off, based on the excavator's operating lever control signal, the excavator model is controlled to perform a second virtual action corresponding to the operating lever control signal on the display screen. When the second virtual action of the excavator model displayed on the display screen is used to indicate that the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the first collision threshold, a first collision prompt information is sent to the operator.

[0119] In this optional embodiment, it can be understood that when the actual working control switch of the excavator is turned off, the excavator will not work according to the operating lever control signal. At this time, the operator can simulate the operation of the excavator model displayed on the display screen through the operating lever control signal to rehearse the actual target action of the excavator and reduce the risk of collision during actual operation.

[0120] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can control the excavator model to perform a second virtual action corresponding to the operating lever control signal on the display screen based on the excavator's operating lever control signal when it detects that the actual work control switch of the excavator is turned off. When the distance between the edge of the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the first collision threshold, a first collision prompt message is sent to the operator, which is beneficial to improving the operator's operating experience through the operator's simulated operation when the actual work control switch is turned off, reducing the operator's collision risk in actual work, and improving the operating safety of the excavator in complex environments.

[0121] In yet another optional embodiment, before constructing the electronic fence corresponding to the excavator based on the target distance data corresponding to all target obstacles in the above step 102, the method may further include:

[0122] Determine obstacle types of all target obstacles based on a predetermined obstacle recognition model;

[0123] Determining a collision risk level of each target obstacle based on the obstacle type of the target obstacle;

[0124] Determine whether the collision risk level of each target obstacle is greater than or equal to a preset collision risk level threshold, and obtain a collision risk level determination result;

[0125] When the collision risk level judgment result is used to indicate that the collision risk level of the target obstacle is greater than or equal to the collision risk level threshold, the target obstacle is determined to be a high-risk target obstacle;

[0126] Furthermore, in the above step 102, constructing an electronic fence corresponding to the excavator based on the target distance data corresponding to all target obstacles may include:

[0127] Based on the target distance data corresponding to all target obstacles, an electronic fence corresponding to the excavator is constructed; the target obstacles are high-risk target obstacles.

[0128] In this optional embodiment, it can be understood that the collision risk of some obstacles such as grass and dirt piles is relatively low, and even if a collision occurs, it will not cause much damage. Therefore, high-risk target obstacles can be determined through an obstacle recognition model, and it is only necessary to build an electronic fence based on the high-risk target obstacles.

[0129] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can determine the obstacle type of the target obstacle and further determine the degree of collision risk based on a predetermined obstacle recognition model. When the collision risk level of the target obstacle is greater than or equal to the collision risk level threshold, the target obstacle is determined to be a high-risk target obstacle, and an electronic fence is constructed based on the high-risk target obstacle, which is beneficial to the accuracy of determining the target obstacle, and further improves the accuracy of constructing the electronic fence, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the collision risk of the excavator.

At this time, the second collision prompt information can be issued to prompt the operator.

[0145] In the embodiment of the present invention, for other descriptions of steps 201-207, please refer to the detailed description of steps 101-107 in the first embodiment, and the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated here.

If so, trigger the operation of the operator corresponding to the excavator in the above step 207 to send a first collision prompt message; the collision risk part is the part of the excavator corresponding to the edge when the distance between the excavator model and the electronic fence is less than the first collision threshold.

[0152] In this optional embodiment, it can be understood that if the excavator model and the electronic fence are three-dimensional models, when there is a risk of collision between the excavator model and the electronic fence in the plane, it can be further determined whether it is necessary to prompt the operator based on whether there is a risk of collision in the spatial height.

[0153] It can be seen that this optional embodiment can, when the excavator model and the electronic fence are three-dimensional models, determine whether to issue a collision prompt by further judging whether the excavator model and the electronic fence have an intersection in space on the basis of plane collision judgment. This is beneficial to improving the accuracy of determining the collision risk by judging whether there is a collision risk in space, thereby reducing the reliance on the operator's experience and judgment, improving the operating safety of the excavator in complex environments, and reducing the collision accident rate.
