Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic control, and in particular to a hydraulic control system for an excavator. Background Art
[0002] With the widespread application of modern engineering machinery and equipment, excavators have become an indispensable and important tool in earthwork, mining and other scenarios; the hydraulic system of the excavator is its core power and control part, which is used to drive the movement and operation of various working devices, such as the boom, arm, bucket and track; the hydraulic system transfers energy through the pressure of hydraulic oil to achieve precise control of mechanical components; the operation of the excavator usually involves a complex multi-axis linkage system, and the driver needs to operate multiple components, such as tracks, booms, arms and buckets, to complete specific tasks; these operations may pose safety hazards in some cases, especially when the driver misoperates the excavator, which may cause equipment damage or endanger the safety of the work area; therefore, in order to improve the safety and accuracy of excavator operation, the introduction of a mechanism to prevent misoperation is particularly important.
[0003] Traditional excavators rely on the driver's experience and operating skills. However, when the driver lacks experience or the environment is complex, the risk of misoperation is greatly increased.

[0004] To address this issue, existing technologies have proposed some basic anti-accidental touch systems, such as warning systems based on the operating range of the excavator. However, these systems are mostly in the form of a single alarm and lack accurate identification and prevention mechanisms for different operating actions, and cannot fully cover the potential risks caused by different operating behaviors.

[0081] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0082] 1. This hydraulic control system for an excavator can effectively prevent the excavator from entering the dangerous area by mistake by dividing it into safe areas and dangerous areas, thereby reducing operational risks. This area division first improves the safety performance of the excavator. During excavation operations, mistakenly entering the dangerous area may cause damage to equipment or surrounding facilities, and even endanger personnel safety. Therefore, the division of safe and dangerous areas is introduced, so that the system can intelligently identify potential dangers and promptly warn or stop operations to prevent accidents. At the same time, during the operation, the driver can focus more on the work task without worrying about potential dangers, reducing work pressure and the difficulty of complex operations.
[0083] 2. This hydraulic control system for an excavator can accurately determine whether the crawler will touch the dangerous area by simulating the area where the crawler contacts the ground. The crawler is a key component of the excavator's movement, and its movement operation directly affects the selection and adjustment of the working area. The system can ensure that the crawler's movement operation is carried out within a predetermined safety range by introducing the first type of anti-misoperation strategy, so as to avoid the excavator entering the dangerous area due to misoperation. By simulating the moving trajectory of the crawler and the area where the crawler contacts the ground, the system can determine in advance whether the crawler will enter the dangerous area, and thus take anti-misoperation operations, thereby improving the safety of the overall operation.
[0084] 3. A hydraulic control system for an excavator, which obtains the central axis of a boom, an arm and a bucket, and simulates the projection of the central axis of the boom, the arm and the bucket vertically downward on the ground to form a target line segment, obtains the central axis of the first track and the second track, simulates the acquisition of the first plane, and obtains an auxiliary straight line on the first plane; obtains the smaller angle of the two angles formed by the intersection of the straight line where the target line segment is located and the auxiliary straight line, recorded as the first angle, and sets an angle threshold, a first length threshold and a second length threshold. When 0 < the first angle < the angle threshold, it represents that the boom, arm and bucket of the excavator are rotated to the position on the side of the excavator track; if the length of the target line segment is greater than or equal to the first length threshold, the boom, arm and bucket of the excavator are stretched too long at this time, which will cause the center of gravity of the excavator to move outward, which may cause the excavator to ... Therefore, when 0<first angle<angle threshold and the length of the target line segment is greater than or equal to the first length threshold, it is determined that the excavator has the second type of false touch; when the first angle ≥angle threshold, it means that the excavator's boom, arm and bucket have not rotated to the position of the side of the excavator track; if the length of the target line segment is greater than or equal to the second length threshold, the excavator's boom, arm and bucket are extended too long, which will cause the excavator's center of gravity to move outward and may also cause the excavator to roll over, so when the first angle ≥angle threshold and the length of the target line segment is greater than or equal to the second length threshold, it is determined that the excavator has the second type of false touch; this advance judgment method can avoid the excavator from rolling over due to the movement of the boom, arm or bucket during operation, reduce potential accident risks, and greatly improve construction safety.
[0085] 4. This hydraulic control system for excavators records the driver's operating habits within thirty minutes after the start time and generates a habit library. The system can make intelligent adjustments and optimizations based on the driver's personalized operating methods. This strategy of introducing the driver's operating habits can not only improve the adaptability and flexibility of the system, but also enhance the driver's operating comfort. By analyzing the driver's push rod direction, operating force and propulsion distance, the system can automatically adjust according to the operating characteristics of different drivers to improve detection accuracy.
[0086] 5. This hydraulic control system for excavators can monitor and adjust the driver's operation more accurately by setting the force control accuracy and distance control accuracy. This intelligent optimization mechanism ensures that the driver's operation is within the safety range through the set accuracy range. The optimization mechanism can effectively reduce misoperation through preset accuracy parameters.
[0087] 6. In this hydraulic control system for an excavator, in the process of judging whether it is a false touch, the system can further improve the safety and accuracy of the operation by reminding the driver and asking him to actively confirm whether it is a false touch operation. This active confirmation mechanism not only provides an intelligent false touch judgment function, but also gives the driver the final decision-making power, avoiding the rigidity problem that may be caused by the fully automated operation of the system. Under certain circumstances, the driver can judge the false touch situation according to the actual operating environment, which increases the flexibility and practicality of the system. Especially in some special circumstances, such as sudden changes in terrain or environments that require rapid response, the driver's judgment may be more intuitive than the system. The active confirmation mechanism provides the driver with more control and improves the reliability and safety of the entire operating system.
[0088] 7. This is a hydraulic control system for excavators. The system can not only establish an operating habit library, but also update the contents of the library according to the real-time operation of the driver. This real-time update mechanism ensures the dynamic adaptability of the system and can be adjusted according to the changes in the driver's operation. Through continuous self-learning and updating, the system can reduce the possibility of misoperation while maintaining operational efficiency. Especially in complex or high-pressure working environments, the driver's operating habits may change as working conditions change. The system can quickly adapt to these changes and improve the working efficiency of the excavator through real-time recording and updating. This mechanism can also reduce the driver's work pressure, allowing him to focus on the task itself without having to worry about misoperation frequently.
[0089] 8. This hydraulic control system for excavators introduces a third type of anti-mistouch strategy based on the driver's operating habits. By recording the driver's propulsion direction, operating force and propulsion distance when operating the excavator, a driver's operating habit library is established. The system can monitor the driver's operating behavior in real time to determine whether it is consistent with the operating habits. If the operation exceeds the normal range, the system will issue a prompt and the driver can choose to confirm whether it is a mistouch operation. This strategy not only improves the accuracy of mistouch detection, but also updates the driver's operating habit library over time, making the system more intelligent and personalized.

[0162] The distance control accuracy is used to characterize the distance that the driver pushes the excavator joystick;
[0163] This hydraulic control system for excavators can monitor and adjust the driver's operation more accurately by setting the force control accuracy and distance control accuracy. This intelligent optimization mechanism ensures that the driver's operation is within the safety range through the set accuracy range. This optimization mechanism can effectively reduce misoperation through preset accuracy parameters;
[0164] Thirty minutes after the start time;
[0165] For every operation of the excavator joystick by the driver;
[0166] Obtain the corresponding propulsion direction, operation force and propulsion distance, which are recorded as target direction, target force and target distance respectively;
[0167] Obtain the average force and average distance in the same direction as the target, and record them as the first force and the first distance respectively;
[0168] If the first force - force control accuracy ≤ target force ≤ first force + force control accuracy and the first distance - distance control accuracy ≤ target distance ≤ first distance + distance control accuracy; it is determined that the excavator has not experienced the third type of false touch; and the target direction, target force and target distance are included in the operation habit library, and the operation habit library is updated.
[0169] In the process of performing the excavation operation on the excavator, judging whether the excavator has a third type of false touch according to the third type of false touch prevention strategy, further includes:
[0170] If the target force is less than the first force - force control accuracy, or the target force is greater than the first force + force control accuracy, or the target distance is less than the first distance - distance control accuracy, or the target distance is greater than the first distance + distance control accuracy, a reminder is sent to the driver, who selects whether the operation on the excavator is an accidental touch;
[0171] This hydraulic control system for an excavator can further improve the safety and accuracy of the operation by reminding the driver and asking him to actively confirm whether it is a false touch during the process of judging whether it is a false touch. This active confirmation mechanism not only provides an intelligent false touch judgment function, but also gives the driver the final decision-making power, avoiding the rigidity problem that may be caused by the fully automated operation of the system. In certain circumstances, the driver can judge the false touch situation according to the actual operating environment, which increases the flexibility and practicality of the system. Especially in some special circumstances, such as sudden changes in terrain or environments that require rapid response, the driver's judgment may be more intuitive than the system. The active confirmation mechanism provides the driver with more control and improves the reliability and safety of the entire operating system;
[0172] If the driver selects that the operation of the excavator this time is an accidental touch, then the excavator is deemed to have a third type of accidental touch;
[0173] If the driver selects that the operation of the excavator this time is not an accidental touch, it is determined that the excavator has not experienced the third type of accidental touch; and the target direction, target force and target distance are included in the operation habit library, and the operation habit library is updated;
[0174] This is a hydraulic control system for excavators. The system can not only establish an operating habit library, but also update the contents of the library according to the real-time operation of the driver. This real-time update mechanism ensures the dynamic adaptability of the system, and it can be adjusted according to the changes in the driver's operation. Through continuous self-learning and updating, the system can reduce the possibility of misoperation while maintaining operational efficiency. Especially in complex or high-pressure working environments, the driver's operating habits may change as working conditions change. The system can quickly adapt to these changes and improve the working efficiency of the excavator through real-time recording and updating. This mechanism can also reduce the driver's work pressure, allowing him to focus on the task itself without having to worry about the problem of misoperation frequently;
[0175] This hydraulic control system for excavators introduces a third type of anti-mistouch strategy based on the driver's operating habits. By recording the driver's propulsion direction, operating force and propulsion distance when operating the excavator, a driver's operating habit library is established. The system can monitor the driver's operating behavior in real time to determine whether it is consistent with the operating habits. If the operation exceeds the normal range, the system will issue a prompt and the driver can choose to confirm whether it is a mistouch operation. This strategy not only improves the accuracy of mistouch detection, but also updates the driver's operating habit library over time, making the system more intelligent and personalized.
