Description

[0002] During the operation of a hydraulic excavator, the boom performs periodic outward and inward swinging movements. Most of the potential energy of the boom is consumed in the form of heat energy on the multi-way valve port. This not only causes serious energy waste and high fuel consumption, but also easily causes vibration, noise and heat in the hydraulic system, reducing the reliability and life of the system.

[0003] In this regard, as proposed in a potential energy recovery method for an oil-hydraulic hybrid excavator disclosed in a previous patent with application number CN201810573174.5, when the hydraulic cylinder is retracted, the variable pump fills the rod chamber of the composite cylinder with fluid, and the oil in the counterweight chamber is filled into the accumulator, thereby recovering the gravitational potential energy. During the gravitational potential energy recovery process, the gravitational potential energy is stored in the form of hydraulic energy, but this method does not take into account the boom regeneration condition; at the same time, this method is only applicable to a single oil pump; in addition, the accumulator is prone to heat up when overflowing, and the hydraulic circuit will also generate heat when the high pressure overflows, affecting the thermal balance of the system.

[0059] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] This embodiment can be applied to the automatic control of the inward and outward swing of the boom. The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system can be executed by the control device of the boom decoupling hydraulic system. The control device of the boom decoupling hydraulic system can be implemented by software and / or hardware and integrated into the excavator.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the boom decoupling hydraulic system includes a boom cylinder 1, a first oil pump 4, a second oil pump 5, a regeneration valve 6, an oil supply circuit 8, a motor 3, and a battery 2. The boom cylinder 1 has a rod chamber 101 and a rodless chamber 102. The two ends of the first oil pump 4 are connected to the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 respectively through pipelines. The two ends of the second oil pump 5 are connected to the oil supply circuit 8 and the rodless chamber 102 respectively through pipelines. The regeneration valve 6 is used to connect the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102, or to disconnect the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102. The first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 can both rotate forward and reverse. The battery 2 is electrically connected to the motor 3, and the motor 3 is also connected to the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 in transmission connection. When the regeneration valve 6 is opened, the oil can flow directly between the rodless chamber 102 and the rod chamber 101, and flow from the side with high pressure to the side with low pressure, thereby realizing rapid movement of the piston rod.

[0063] Specifically, the boom cylinder 1 comprises a piston rod and a cylinder body. The piston rod divides the cylinder body's interior into a rod chamber 101 and a rodless chamber 102. The piston rod passes through the rod chamber 101, making the cross-sectional area of ​​the rod chamber 101 smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the rodless chamber 102. The piston rod is able to move within the cylinder body, and when the piston rod moves, the volumes of the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 increase and decrease. The cylinder body is hinged to the excavator's boom, the piston rod is hinged to the excavator's boom, and the boom is hinged to the boom and bucket, respectively. The boom swings outward and retracts inward by extending and retracting the piston rod.

[0064] The arm decoupling hydraulic system also includes a charge pump 7 and a charge motor 10 that drives the charge pump 7. One end of the charge pump 7 is connected to a fuel tank 11, and the other end is connected to a charge oil circuit 8. The charge pump 7 can pump oil from the fuel tank 11 to the charge oil circuit 8, which in turn supplies oil to the second fuel pump 5. Preferably, the arm decoupling hydraulic system also includes a charge overflow valve 9 connected to the charge oil circuit 8. The charge overflow valve 9 is used to allow any oil in the charge oil circuit 8 that exceeds a set pressure to overflow into the fuel tank 11.

[0065] In this embodiment, one end of the first oil pump 4 is connected to the rodless chamber 102 through the first oil circuit 12, the other end of the first oil pump 4 is connected to the rod chamber 101 through the second oil circuit 13, the second oil pump 5 is connected to the first oil circuit 12 through the third oil circuit 14, and the regeneration valve 6 is connected between the first oil circuit 12 and the second oil circuit 13. The first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 both adopt closed oil pumps, which can be specifically closed metering pumps. The first oil pump 4 and the two oil chambers of the boom cylinder 1 constitute a hydraulic circuit, and the second oil pump 5 and the rodless chamber 102 and the oil replenishment circuit 8 constitute a hydraulic circuit. The boom cylinder 1 is supplied with oil through the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5, thereby realizing the decoupling of the boom cylinder 1, thereby improving the control performance of the boom cylinder 1.

[0066] The boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a bypass oil circuit (not shown in the drawings), a first reversing valve (not shown in the drawings) arranged in the bypass oil circuit, and a second reversing valve (not shown in the drawings) arranged in the third oil circuit 14. The two ends of the bypass oil circuit are respectively connected to the oil replenishing circuit 8 and the third oil circuit 14, and the connection between the bypass oil circuit and the third oil circuit 14 is located between the second reversing valve and the second oil pump 5. The first reversing valve is used to control the connection and disconnection of the bypass oil circuit, and the second reversing valve is used to control the connection and disconnection of the third oil circuit 14. When the motor 3 is started, the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 rotate at the same time. If the first reversing valve is connected to the bypass oil circuit and the second reversing valve is disconnected from the third oil circuit 14 at this time, the second oil pump 5 can drive the oil to circulate through the bypass oil circuit without performing external work. Only the first oil pump 4 drives the oil to flow between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102; if the first reversing valve is disconnected from the bypass oil circuit and the second reversing valve is connected to the third oil circuit 14 at this time, the first oil pump 4 drives the oil to flow between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102, and the second oil pump 5 drives the oil to flow between the rodless chamber 102 and the oil replenishment circuit 8, so that only the first oil pump 4 can output to the outside, or the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 can output to the outside at the same time to adapt to different working conditions.

[0067] Specifically, the driver can control the outward swing and inward retraction of the boom by operating the joystick. The piston rod can move relative to the cylinder body and has an extended position and a retracted position. Taking the example of the first oil pump 4 driving the oil flow between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102, and the second oil pump 5 driving the oil flow between the rodless chamber 102 and the oil supply circuit 8, when the piston rod moves toward the extended position, the piston rod gradually extends outward, the boom retracts, the first oil pump 4 pumps the oil in the rod chamber 101 into the rodless chamber 102, and the second oil pump 5 pumps the oil in the oil supply circuit 8 into the rodless chamber 102; when the piston rod moves toward the retracted position, the piston rod gradually retracts inward, the boom swings outward, the first oil pump 4 pumps a portion of the oil in the rodless chamber 102 into the rod chamber 101, and at the same time, the second oil pump 5 pumps another portion of the oil in the rodless chamber 102 into the oil supply circuit 8.

[0068] It should be noted that the piston rod also has an intermediate position between the extended position and the retracted position. When the piston rod is in the intermediate position, the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 and the rod chamber 101 is equal. At this time, under the action of the load and the boom's own gravity, the boom naturally droops.

[0069] In addition, the direction of movement of the piston rod and the direction of the load force acting on the piston rod jointly determine the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 and the rod chamber 101. It is defined that when the direction of the load force is consistent with the direction of movement of the piston rod, the load force is a negative load, and when the direction of the load force is opposite to the direction of movement of the piston rod, the load force is a positive load. When the piston rod moves toward the retracted position, the boom swings outward. If the piston rod is subjected to a negative load, the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 will be greater than the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101; if the piston rod is subjected to a positive load, the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101 will be greater than the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102. When the piston rod moves toward the extended position, the boom retracts. If the piston rod is subjected to a negative load, the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 will be less than the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101; if the piston rod is subjected to a positive load, the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 will be greater than the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101. Among them, when the boom moves, when the piston rod is subjected to a negative load, the first oil pump 4 can be driven to rotate by the oil, and then the motor 3 can be driven to rotate by the first oil pump 4, so that the motor 3 generates electricity and stores it in the battery 2; or the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 can be driven to rotate by the oil at the same time, and then the motor 3 can be driven to rotate by the first oil pump 4 and the second oil pump 5 at the same time, so that the motor 3 generates electricity and stores it in the battery 2, thereby realizing the recovery of the potential energy of the boom.

[0070] The boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a balancing valve 15. The balancing valve 15 connects the one with lower oil pressure between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 to the oil supply circuit 8. By providing the balancing valve 15, the oil in the one with lower oil pressure between the rodless chamber 102 and the rod chamber 101 can directly enter the oil supply circuit 8, or the oil in the oil supply circuit 8 can directly enter the one with lower oil pressure between the rodless chamber 102 and the rod chamber 101. Since the temperature of the oil in the oil supply circuit 8 is relatively low, when the temperature of the oil in the hydraulic circuit is too high, the hot oil in the hydraulic circuit can be replaced, which can ensure the normal oil temperature in the hydraulic circuit and further ensure the normal operation of the boom cylinder 1. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to configure temperature monitoring, which can also effectively reduce costs. In addition, the flow rate difference between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 can be effectively compensated by connecting the one with the lower oil pressure between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 to the oil supply passage 8 through the balancing valve 15 .

[0071] In this embodiment, the balancing valve 15 includes a P interface, an A interface, and a B interface, wherein the P interface is connected to the oil supply circuit 8, the A interface is connected to the first oil circuit 12, and the B interface is connected to the second oil circuit 13. The balancing valve 15 has a first left position and a first right position. When the balancing valve 15 is in the first left position, the balancing valve 15 connects the P interface with the B interface and disconnects the A interface, thereby connecting the oil supply circuit 8 to the second oil circuit 13 and disconnecting the oil supply circuit 8 from the first oil circuit 12. When the balancing valve 15 is in the first right position, the balancing valve 15 connects the P interface with the A interface and disconnects the B interface, thereby connecting the oil supply circuit 8 to the first oil circuit 12 and disconnecting the oil supply circuit 8 from the second oil circuit 13. Preferably, the balancing valve 15 also has a first middle position. When the balancing valve 15 is in the first middle position, the P interface is disconnected, the A interface is disconnected, and the B interface is disconnected, thereby disconnecting the oil supply circuit 8 from both the first oil circuit 12 and the second oil circuit 13.

[0072] In this embodiment, the balancing valve 15 is specifically a hydraulically controlled valve having a first hydraulic control end and a second hydraulic control end. The first hydraulic control end is connected to the first oil circuit 12, and the second hydraulic control end is connected to the second oil circuit 13. The first and second hydraulic control ends are located on either side of the valve core of the balancing valve 15. The oil from the first and second hydraulic control ends directly acts on the valve core of the balancing valve 15. The stopping position of the valve core of the balancing valve 15 is determined by comparing the force exerted on the valve core by the oil from the first hydraulic control end with the force exerted on the valve core by the oil from the second hydraulic control end. Specifically, when the oil pressure at the first hydraulic control end is greater than the oil pressure at the second hydraulic control end, the balancing valve 15 is in a first left position; when the oil pressure at the first hydraulic control end is less than the oil pressure at the second hydraulic control end, the balancing valve 15 is in a first right position; and when the oil pressure at the first hydraulic control end equals the oil pressure at the second hydraulic control end, the balancing valve 15 is in a first center position. In other embodiments, the balancing valve 15 may also be an electrically controlled valve.

[0073] The boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a first holding valve 16 and a first pilot valve 17. The first holding valve 16 has a first pump side interface and a first cylinder side interface. The first holding valve 16 is connected in series to the first oil circuit 12 through the first pump side interface and the first cylinder side interface, and the first cylinder side interface is close to the rodless chamber 102 relative to the first pump side interface. The first holding valve 16 has a first open state and a first closed state. When the first holding valve 16 is in the first open state, the first pump side interface and the first cylinder side interface are connected. When the first holding valve 16 is in the first closed state, the first pump side interface and the first cylinder side interface are disconnected; when the first holding valve 16 is in the first closed state: the oil pressure at the first pump side interface exceeds the first set value of the oil pressure at the first cylinder side interface, so that the first holding valve 16 switches to the first open state, or the first pilot valve 17 controls the first holding valve 16 to switch to the first open state. By setting the first holding valve 16, when the first holding valve 16 is closed, the position of the piston rod can be stabilized, thereby keeping the position of the boom stable; when the first holding valve 16 is in the first closed state, if it is necessary to supply oil to the rodless chamber 102, when the oil pressure of the first pump side interface exceeds the first set value of the oil pressure of the first cylinder side interface, under the action of the oil pressure, the first holding valve 16 can automatically switch to the first open state without affecting the oil supply; if the oil pressure of the first pump side interface does not exceed the first set value of the oil pressure of the first cylinder side interface, the first holding valve 16 can be controlled to switch to the first open state by the first pilot valve 17; when the first holding valve 16 is in the first closed state, if it is necessary to discharge the oil in the rodless chamber 102, the first holding valve 16 can be controlled to switch to the first open state by the first pilot valve 17.

[0074] Specifically, the first holding valve 16 includes a holding valve housing and a holding valve spool, the first pump side interface and the first cylinder side interface are arranged in the holding valve housing, the first pump side interface and the first cylinder side interface are connected in series to the first oil circuit 12, the holding valve spool slides in the holding valve housing, the holding valve spool divides the inner cavity of the holding valve housing into a first spring cavity and a first oil cavity, the holding valve spool can slide relative to the holding valve housing so that the first holding valve 16 has a first open state and a first closed state, when the first holding valve 16 is in the first closed state, the holding valve spool can further divide the first oil cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity that are not connected to each other, wherein the first cylinder side interface is always connected to the first cavity, and the first pump side interface is always connected to the second cavity, at this time since the first cavity and the second cavity are separated, the first oil circuit 12 is disconnected; when the first holding valve 16 is in the first open state, the first cavity and the second cavity are connected, at this time the first oil circuit 12 is connected.

[0075] Furthermore, the first holding valve 16 also includes a holding valve spring, and the holding valve housing is also provided with a first control interface and a second control interface. The holding valve spring is located in the first spring chamber and the two ends of the holding valve spring are respectively abutted against the holding valve spool and the holding valve housing. The first control interface is always connected to the first chamber, and the second control interface is always connected to the first spring chamber. The holding valve spring and the hydraulic oil in the first spring chamber give the holding valve spool a force F1 to move toward the first chamber side, and the hydraulic oil in the first chamber and the hydraulic oil in the second chamber give the holding valve spool a force F2 to move toward the first spring chamber side. The sizes of F1 and F2 are compared to determine the position of the holding valve spool, and then determine the state of the first holding valve 16.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first pilot valve 17 is a two-position, three-way valve that connects the first control interface and the second control interface. At this point, the oil pressures in the first chamber and the first spring chamber are equal, but the active area of ​​the oil and the holding valve spool in the first chamber is smaller than the active area of ​​the oil and the holding valve spool in the first spring chamber. Furthermore, the holding valve spring in the first spring chamber exerts a force on the holding valve spool, causing the holding valve spool to move toward the first chamber, thereby placing the first holding valve 16 in the first closed state and ensuring stable closure of the first oil circuit 12. The first pilot valve 17 also connects the second control interface and the oil tank 11. At this point, the position of the holding valve spool is determined by comparing F1 and F2. When F1 is less than F2, the holding valve spring is compressed, causing the holding valve spool to move toward the first spring chamber, thereby placing the first holding valve 16 in the first open state and opening the first oil circuit 12.

[0077] Specifically, the first pilot valve 17 is a hydraulically controlled reversing valve. The operating position of the first pilot valve 17 can be controlled by switching the signal oil source of the hydraulically controlled reversing valve on and off, thereby enabling the first control interface to connect with the second control interface, or enabling the second control interface to connect with the oil tank 11 and disconnect the first control interface. In other embodiments, the first pilot valve 17 can also be replaced with an electrically controlled reversing valve. In this embodiment, the boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a first solenoid valve 18 for controlling the connection and disconnection of the oil circuit at the hydraulic control end of the first pilot valve 17. Therefore, the first solenoid valve 18 can be used to control the connection and disconnection of the signal oil source of the first pilot valve 17 to achieve switching control of the operating position of the first pilot valve 17.

[0078] Optionally, the boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a second holding valve 19 and a second pilot valve 20, the second holding valve 19 having a second pump side interface and a second cylinder side interface, the second holding valve 19 being connected in series to the second oil circuit 13 through the second pump side interface and the second cylinder side interface, and the second cylinder side interface is close to the rod chamber 101 relative to the second pump side interface, the second holding valve 19 has a second open state and a second closed state, when the second holding valve 19 is in the second open state, the second pump side interface and the second cylinder side interface are connected, when the second holding valve 19 is in the second closed state, the second pump side interface and the second cylinder side interface are disconnected; when the second holding valve 19 is in the second closed state: when the oil pressure at the second pump side interface exceeds the second set value of the oil pressure at the second cylinder side interface, the second holding valve 19 is switched to the second open state, or the second pilot valve 20 controls the second holding valve 19 to switch to the second open state. By setting the second holding valve 19, when the second holding valve 19 is closed, the position of the piston rod can be stabilized, thereby keeping the position of the boom stable; when the second holding valve 19 is in the second closed state, if it is necessary to supply oil to the rod chamber 101, when the oil pressure of the second pump side interface exceeds the second set value of the oil pressure of the second cylinder side interface, under the action of the oil pressure, the second holding valve 19 can automatically switch to the second open state without affecting the oil supply; if the oil pressure of the second pump side interface does not exceed the second set value of the oil pressure of the second cylinder side interface, the second holding valve 19 can be controlled to switch to the second open state by the second pilot valve 20; when the second holding valve 19 is in the second closed state, if it is necessary to discharge the oil in the rod chamber 101, the second holding valve 19 can be controlled to switch to the second open state by the second pilot valve 20.

[0079] Specifically, the second holding valve 19 has the same structure as the first holding valve 16, and the second pilot valve 20 has the same structure as the first pilot valve 17, and their details will not be repeated here. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the boom decoupling hydraulic system further includes a second solenoid valve 21 for controlling the connection and disconnection of the oil circuit at the hydraulic control end of the second pilot valve 20. Thus, the second solenoid valve 21 can be used to control the on / off switching of the signal oil source for the second pilot valve 20, thereby achieving switching control over the operating position of the second pilot valve 20.

[0080] Optionally, the boom decoupling hydraulic system further includes a third reversing valve 22, which is disposed in the first oil circuit 12 and located between the connection point between the third oil circuit 14 and the first oil circuit 12 and the first oil pump 4. The third reversing valve 22 is used to control the connection or disconnection of the first oil circuit 12. When the third reversing valve 22 disconnects the first oil circuit 12, it can block the first oil pump 4 from supplying oil to the rodless chamber 102 and prevent the oil in the rodless chamber 102 from flowing to the first oil pump 4. At this time, the boom cylinder 1 is driven only by the second oil pump 5.

[0081] The third reversing valve 22 includes a third hydraulic control end and a fourth hydraulic control end. The first solenoid valve 18 is also used to control the connection and disconnection of the oil circuit of the third hydraulic control end. The second solenoid valve 21 is also used to control the connection and disconnection of the oil circuit of the fourth hydraulic control end. The third hydraulic control end and the fourth hydraulic control end are respectively located on both sides of the valve core of the third reversing valve 22, and the oil of the third hydraulic control end and the fourth hydraulic control end directly acts on the valve core of the third reversing valve 22. The force of the oil of the third hydraulic control end acting on the valve core of the third reversing valve 22 is compared with the force of the oil of the fourth hydraulic control end acting on the valve core of the third reversing valve 22 to determine the stop position of the valve core of the third reversing valve 22.

[0082] Optionally, the boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes a first oil-supply check valve 23 and a second oil-supply check valve 24. The first oil-supply check valve 23 is connected between the oil-supply circuit 8 and the rodless chamber 102, and the first oil-supply check valve 23 only allows oil to flow from the oil-supply circuit 8 to the rodless chamber 102. Specifically, the first oil-supply check valve 23 is connected between the oil-supply circuit 8 and the first oil circuit 12; the second oil-supply check valve 24 is connected between the oil-supply circuit 8 and the rod chamber 101, and the second oil-supply check valve 24 only allows oil to flow from the oil-supply circuit 8 to the rod chamber 101. Specifically, the second oil-supply check valve 24 is connected between the oil-supply circuit 8 and the second oil circuit 13. By providing the first oil-replenishing check valve 23, when the oil pressure in the rodless chamber 102 is low, oil can be replenished to the rodless chamber 102 through the oil-replenishing oil passage 8. By providing the second oil-replenishing check valve 24, when the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101 is low, oil can be replenished to the rod chamber 101 through the oil-replenishing oil passage 8, thereby further balancing the flow difference between the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102. Specifically, the connection between the first oil-replenishing check valve 23 and the first oil passage 12 is located between the first holding valve 16 and the boom cylinder 1.

[0083] Optionally, the boom decoupling hydraulic system further includes a first relief valve 25 and a second relief valve 26. The first relief valve 25 is connected between the oil replenishment circuit 8 and the rodless chamber 102, and the first relief valve 25 only allows oil to overflow from the rodless chamber 102 to the oil replenishment circuit 8. Specifically, the first relief valve 25 is connected between the oil replenishment circuit 8 and the first oil circuit 12. The second relief valve 26 is connected between the oil replenishment circuit 8 and the rod chamber 101, and the second relief valve 26 only allows oil to overflow from the rod chamber 101 to the oil replenishment circuit 8. Specifically, the second relief valve 26 is connected between the oil replenishment circuit 8 and the rod chamber 101. The second relief valve 26 only allows oil to overflow from the rod chamber 101 to the oil replenishment circuit 8. Specifically, the second relief valve 26 is connected between the oil replenishment circuit 8 and the second oil circuit 13. By providing the first relief valve 25 and the second relief valve 26, the oil pressure in the rod chamber 101 and the rodless chamber 102 can be effectively balanced.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 2 The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system includes the following steps.

[0085] S110: Obtain the position of the joystick, the oil pressure P1 of the rodless chamber, and the oil pressure P2 of the rod chamber.

[0086] The position of the joystick can be detected by a position sensor provided on the joystick, and the oil pressure in the rod chamber and the oil pressure in the rodless chamber can be detected by a pressure sensor.

[0087] S120: Determine whether the boom needs to be swung outward or retracted based on the position of the joystick, and determine the size of P1 and P2.

[0088] If the boom needs to be retracted and P1<P2, then execute S130.

[0089] The joystick has an initial position and can be pushed and pulled forward and backward from that initial position. Pushing it forward controls the stick to retract, while pulling it backward controls the stick to swing out. Therefore, by collecting the actual position of the joystick, it can be determined whether the stick retracts or swings out control signals are being issued.

[0090] When P1 < P2, it indicates that the oil pressure in the rod chamber is greater than the oil pressure in the rodless chamber. At this time, the boom is retracted and bears a negative load, which is suitable for energy recovery.

[0091] S130: Determine whether the regeneration switch is in the on state.

[0092] Specifically, the regeneration switch is a switch provided on the excavator, and when the regeneration switch is turned on, the regeneration valve can be opened and the opening degree of the regeneration valve can be adjusted.

[0093] S140: The regeneration valve connects the rod chamber and the rodless chamber, and controls the opening of the regeneration valve based on the position of the operating handle.

[0094] When the regeneration valve is opened, the rod chamber and the rodless chamber will be connected. At this time, the oil can flow directly from the rod chamber into the rodless chamber, causing the boom to retract quickly. The opening of the regeneration valve is controlled by the position of the operating handle, and then the boom retraction speed is controlled. This is suitable for the working conditions of the boom regeneration and meets the driver's expectation of quickly retracting the boom.

[0095] Among them, in this embodiment, only when the boom needs to be retracted and P1<P2, the opening of the regeneration valve will be greater than zero, and the opening of the regeneration valve changes with the position of the control handle; at other times, the regeneration valve maintains an opening of zero.

[0096] The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system provided in this embodiment obtains the position of the operating handle, the oil pressure P1 of the rodless chamber and the oil pressure P2 of the rod chamber, and judges whether the boom needs to swing outward or retract based on the position of the operating handle, and judges the sizes of P1 and P2; when the boom needs to retract and P1 is less than P2, it is determined that the regeneration switch is in the on state, the regeneration valve connects the rod chamber and the rodless chamber, and the opening of the regeneration valve is controlled based on the position of the operating handle, which is suitable for controlling the boom regeneration and meets the driver's expectation of rapid retraction of the boom.

[0097] Example 2

[0098] This embodiment provides a control method for a boom decoupling hydraulic system, which is further concretized on the basis of the control method for a boom decoupling hydraulic system provided in the above-mentioned embodiment 1.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 3 The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system includes the following steps.

[0100] S200: Obtain the oil pressure P1 of the rod chamber, the oil pressure P2 of the rodless chamber, and the oil pressure P3 of the oil replenishment passage.

[0101] The oil pressure in the oil replenishment line can be detected by a pressure sensor provided in the oil replenishment line.

[0102] S201 : Determine the required torque T of the oil pump based on P1 , P2 , and P3 .

[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, T = max[(P1-P3),(P2-P3)]*V. V is the total displacement of the first and second oil pumps. Alternatively, a first mapping relationship between P1, P2, P3, and T is pre-stored in memory, and the required torque T of the oil pump is determined based on the acquired P1, P2, and P3 and this first mapping relationship. This first mapping relationship can be obtained through extensive prior experiments.

[0104] S202: Obtain the rated torque a of the motor.

[0105] The rated torque of the motor is related to the model of the motor and can be pre-stored in the memory.

[0106] S203: Determine the size of T and a / 2.

[0107] If T≤a / 2, execute S204; if T>a / 2, execute S205.

[0108] S204: The first oil pump and the second oil pump deliver oil simultaneously.

[0109] S205: Only the first oil pump outputs.

[0110] Among them, when T≤a / 2, it indicates that the motor can drive the first oil pump and the second oil pump to output at the same time without exceeding the rated torque, or the motor can be driven by the first oil pump and the second oil pump to generate electricity at the same time without overload operation; when T>a / 2, it indicates that the motor can only drive the first oil pump to output without exceeding the rated torque, or the motor can only be driven by the first oil pump to generate electricity without overload operation.

[0111] Among them, when the second oil pump is not outputting, it can be achieved by connecting the first reversing valve to the bypass oil circuit and disconnecting the third oil circuit by the second reversing valve. When the second oil pump is outputting, it can be achieved by disconnecting the bypass oil circuit by the first reversing valve and connecting the second reversing valve to the third oil circuit.

[0112] After step S204 and step S205, the following steps are performed:

[0113] S210: Obtain the position of the joystick, the oil pressure P1 of the rodless chamber, and the oil pressure P2 of the rod chamber.

[0114] S220: Determine whether the boom needs to be swung outward or retracted based on the position of the joystick, and determine the size of P1 and P2.

[0115] If the boom needs to be retracted and P1<P2, then execute S230.

[0116] S230: Determine whether the regeneration switch is in the on state.

[0117] S240: The regeneration valve connects the rod chamber and the rodless chamber, and controls the opening of the regeneration valve based on the position of the operating handle.

[0118] Alternatively, see Figure 3 The control method of the bucket arm decoupling hydraulic system further includes the following steps executed synchronously with step S230:

[0119] S250: Obtain the battery power.

[0120] The battery power can be obtained by interacting with the battery controller.

[0121] S260: Determine whether the battery power level does not exceed the set power level.

[0122] If yes, execute S270; if no, execute S310.

[0123] The amount of power to be set can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, a solution of setting the power to 90% is given as an example.

[0124] S270: Perform energy recovery.

[0125] The energy recovery includes: driven by the oil, only the first oil pump, or the first oil pump and the second oil pump simultaneously drive the motor to rotate, and the motor generates electricity and stores it in the battery.

[0126] Through steps S250 to S270, the mechanical energy during the boom retraction process can be effectively recovered, the energy utilization efficiency can be improved, and the recovered energy is stored in the form of electrical energy. Compared with the use of accumulators in the existing technology, it will not cause the system temperature to rise.

[0127] Alternatively, see Figure 3 The control method of the bucket arm decoupling hydraulic system further includes the following steps after step S270:

[0128] S280: Determine the required speed of the motor based on the position of the joystick.

[0129] The memory pre-stores a second mapping relationship between the position of the joystick and the required speed of the motor. The required speed of the motor can be determined by obtaining the position of the joystick and the second mapping relationship. The second mapping relationship can be obtained through a large number of preliminary experiments.

[0130] S290: Get the current speed of the motor.

[0131] The current speed of the motor can be detected by a speed sensor.

[0132] S300 : determining an additional torque based on a difference between a required rotational speed and a current rotational speed of the motor, and the motor outputs the additional torque.

[0133] The memory pre-stores a third mapping relationship between the difference between the current speed of the motor and the required speed of the motor and the additional torque. The additional torque of the motor can be determined by the difference between the current speed and the required speed of the motor and the third mapping relationship. The third mapping relationship can be obtained through a large number of preliminary experiments.

[0134] In which, additional torque is given to the output shaft of the motor, and the additional torque is used to provide the motor with power or resistance to rotate in the current direction, so that the current speed of the motor is adjusted to the required speed. Specifically, when the current speed of the motor is greater than the required speed of the motor, the additional torque is used to provide resistance to the output shaft of the motor to reduce the speed of the motor; when the current speed of the motor is less than the required speed of the motor, the additional torque is used to provide power to the output shaft of the motor to increase the speed of the motor. In which, the additional torque can be controlled by controlling the positive and negative current supplied to the motor. When the trend of the current driving the motor to rotate is the same as the direction of the motor's current rotation, power is provided to the motor; when the trend of the current driving the motor to rotate is opposite to the direction of the motor's current rotation, resistance is provided to the motor.

[0135] Alternatively, see Figure 3 In step S220: based on the position of the control handle, determine whether the boom needs to be swung outward or inward, and when determining the size of P1 and P2, if the boom needs to be swung outward and P1>P2; then execute S280.

[0136] When P1>P2, it indicates that the oil pressure in the rod chamber is less than the oil pressure in the rodless chamber. At this time, the boom swings outward and bears a negative load, which is suitable for energy recovery.

[0137] Alternatively, see Figure 4 In step S220: based on the position of the control handle, determine whether the boom needs to be swung outward or inward, and when determining the size of P1 and P2, if the boom needs to be retracted and P1≥P2, or if the boom needs to be swung outward and P1≤P2, execute S310.

[0138] In step S260 : determine whether the battery power level does not exceed the set power level, if not, execute S310 as well.

[0139] S310: Determine the required speed of the motor based on the position of the joystick.

[0140] S320: The battery drives the motor to run at the required speed.

[0141] Through the above steps, the motor can drive both the first oil pump and the second oil pump at the required speed, or the motor can drive the output of the first oil pump at the required speed, thereby making the boom swing outward or inward at the speed desired by the driver.

[0142] Alternatively, see Figure 4 The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system also includes the following steps after step S320.

[0143] S330: The oil pressure in the rod chamber or the rodless chamber with the lower oil pressure is replaced with the oil supply line.

[0144] Specifically, the oil in the first oil circuit applies a first force to the valve core of the balancing valve through the first hydraulic control end, and the oil in the second oil circuit applies a second force to the valve core of the balancing valve through the second hydraulic control end. Under the combined action of the first force and the second force, the valve core connects the one with the smaller oil pressure in the first oil circuit and the second oil circuit to the oil supply circuit, thereby realizing the replacement of the oil, reducing the temperature of the oil in the hydraulic circuit, and ensuring that the boom can work stably.

[0145] The control method of the boom decoupling hydraulic system provided in this embodiment obtains the oil pressure P1 of the rod chamber, the oil pressure P2 of the rodless chamber and the oil pressure P3 of the oil replenishment circuit, determines the required torque T of the oil pump based on P1, P2 and P3, obtains the rated torque a of the motor, and when T≤a / 2, the first oil pump and the second oil pump output at the same time; when T>a / 2, only the first oil pump outputs, which can avoid overload of the motor under the premise of ensuring work efficiency; when judging whether the boom needs to swing outward or inward based on the position of the operating handle, and judging the size of P1 and P2, when the boom needs to be retracted and P1<P2, and when the boom needs to be swung outward and P1>P2, the motor's required torque is determined based on the position of the operating handle. Calculate the speed, obtain the current speed of the motor, determine the additional torque based on the difference between the required speed of the motor and the current speed, and the motor outputs additional torque to realize the recovery of the mechanical energy of the boom, and the speed of the motor can make the boom run at the speed expected by the driver; when the boom needs to be retracted, and P1≥P2, and when the boom needs to be swung outward, and P1≤P2, the required speed of the motor is determined based on the position of the control handle, and the battery drives the motor to run at the required speed, so that the oil pressure of the rod cavity and the rodless cavity with smaller oil pressure is replaced with the oil supply circuit, which can make the boom swing outward or retract at the speed expected by the driver, and at the same time, reduce the temperature of the oil in the hydraulic circuit and ensure that the boom can work stably.
