[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] See below Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for recovering rotary braking energy of an excavator provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0047] Specific steps may include:

[0048] S101: Determine the remaining power of the power battery of the excavator;

[0049] Among them, this embodiment can be applied to the whole vehicle controller of an excavator, and the excavator can also include a rotary motor, a rotary motor driver, a main pump motor driver, a main pump motor, a main pump, a power battery, an actuator and other devices. The rotary motor is connected to the main pump motor driver through the rotary motor driver, the main pump motor driver is connected to the main pump motor, and the main pump motor is connected to the main pump.

[0050] The above-mentioned excavator may also be provided with a battery management system (BMS), and the vehicle controller may interact with the battery management system to determine the proportion of the current remaining power of the power battery to the total capacity, that is, the remaining power.

[0051] S102: If the remaining power is less than a preset value, the power battery is charged using the braking energy generated by the rotary motor;

[0052] Among them, this embodiment can pre-set a critical value for recharging the power battery using braking energy, that is, a preset value (such as 97%), compare the current remaining power of the power battery with the preset value, and if the remaining power is less than the preset value, when the braking energy generated by the rotary motor is used, the power battery is charged using the braking energy. Specifically, the rotary motor can charge the power battery through the rotary motor driver.

[0053] S103: If the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset value, the braking energy generated by the rotary motor is input into the main pump through the rotary motor driver and the main pump motor driver, so that the main pump uses the recovered energy to transport the hydraulic oil to the actuator or oil tank of the excavator.

[0054] Among them, this step is based on the fact that the remaining power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the preset value. At this time, when the braking energy generated by the rotary motor is generated, the braking energy generated by the rotary motor can be input into the main pump through the rotary motor driver and the main pump motor driver. In addition, this embodiment can also increase the resistor to consume the electric rotary braking energy, and can also increase the energy recovery auxiliary device for switching release.

[0055] The main pump can use the recovered braking energy to pump hydraulic oil from the tank and deliver it to various actuators of the excavator (such as arms, buckets, etc.) or return it to the tank as needed. The above process not only avoids the risk of battery overcharging, but also improves the energy utilization of the entire system.

[0056] This embodiment connects the excavator's slewing motor to the main pump motor driver, utilizes the energy generated by the slewing motor during the braking process, and determines the method of recovering the slewing braking energy according to the remaining power of the power battery. When the remaining power of the power battery is less than a preset value, the braking energy generated by the slewing motor is used to charge the power battery; when the remaining power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the preset value, the braking energy is input into the main pump through the slewing motor driver and the main pump motor driver, so that the main pump can use the braking energy to deliver hydraulic oil to the actuator or the oil tank. The above method avoids overcharging of the power battery and makes full use of the slewing braking energy. Therefore, this embodiment can effectively recover the slewing braking energy and improve the safety of the power battery.

[0057] As for Figure 1 In the further introduction of the corresponding embodiment, the main pump is connected to the bypass valve and the actuator valve respectively, the bypass valve is connected to the oil tank, and the actuator valve is connected to the actuator. If the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset value, this embodiment can determine whether a rotation action signal is received; if so, the actuator valve is controlled to be closed, and the bypass valve is controlled to be opened, so that the oil circuit between the main pump and the oil tank is connected.

[0058] The above-mentioned rotation action signal can be a signal input by the handle of the excavator, such as a left rotation action signal is input when the handle moves from the middle position to the left, and a right rotation action signal is input when the handle moves from the middle position to the right.

[0059] Specifically, this embodiment controls the actuator valve to be closed when only the swing action signal is received, and controls the bypass valve to be opened. Closing the actuator valve can avoid the additional load on the hydraulic system caused by other actions during the swing process, ensuring that the swing action is more stable and accurate. Opening the bypass valve can allow excess hydraulic oil to return directly to the oil tank, quickly releasing the excess pressure generated by the main pump.

[0060] As for Figure 1 In the further description of the corresponding embodiment, a relief valve is provided in the pipeline between the main pump and the bypass valve; after the rotary motor works, the rotation can be stopped by sending a brake signal. Accordingly, after receiving the brake signal, the embodiment can also control the actuator valve and the bypass valve to close, so that the main pump uses the recovered energy to transport the hydraulic oil to the oil tank through the relief valve.

[0061] The main pump uses the recovered energy to deliver the hydraulic oil to the tank through the relief valve. The relief valve plays a safety protection role in this process, ensuring that the pressure does not exceed the set safety range and allowing excess hydraulic oil to return to the tank smoothly.

[0062] As for Figure 1 In a further description of the corresponding embodiment, the main pump is connected to a pump pilot valve, and the pump pilot valve is used to control the displacement of the main pump. After receiving a brake signal, the pump pilot valve can be used to adjust the displacement of the main pump so that the energy recovery power of the main pump is greater than or equal to the braking power of the rotary motor.

[0063] Furthermore, a pressure sensor is provided in the output pipeline of the main pump, that is, the pressure sensor is provided between the actuator valve and the main pump. Accordingly, the displacement of the main pump can be adjusted in the following manners in this embodiment: the current energy recovery power of the main pump is calculated according to the pressure value collected by the pressure sensor; the current of the pump pilot valve is adjusted according to the current energy recovery power and the braking power of the rotary motor, so as to adjust the displacement of the main pump.

[0064] The output pipeline pressure of the main pump is related to the energy recovery power of the main pump. In this embodiment, the relationship between the output pipeline pressure and the energy recovery power can be calculated in advance, and the current energy recovery power of the main pump is calculated based on the relationship and the pressure value collected by the pressure sensor. The energy recovery power is the power provided by the braking energy recovered by the main pump.

[0065] As for Figure 1 According to a further description of the corresponding embodiment, the main pump is connected to the bypass valve and the actuator valve respectively, the bypass valve is connected to the oil tank, and the actuator valve is connected to the actuator;

[0066] Correspondingly, if the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset value, this step can determine whether a composite action signal is received; wherein the composite action signal includes a rotation action signal and other action signals; if so, the bypass valve is controlled to be closed, and the actuator valve is controlled to be opened to make the oil circuit between the main pump and the actuator conductive.

[0067] Furthermore, after receiving the brake signal, the bypass valve may be controlled to close and the actuator valve may be controlled to open, so that the main pump utilizes the recovered energy to deliver the hydraulic oil to the actuator through the overflow valve.

[0068] Furthermore, the main pump is connected to a pump pilot valve, and a pressure sequence valve is provided in the pipeline between the main pump and the actuator; accordingly, after receiving the brake signal, the pump pilot valve and the pressure sequence valve can also be adjusted according to the outlet pressure value of the main pump, so that the energy recovery power of the main pump is greater than or equal to the braking power of the rotary motor. The pressure sequence valve is used to control the action sequence of multiple actuators in the hydraulic system. The pressure sequence valve determines when to allow the oil circuit to be connected by sensing the system pressure, thereby ensuring that each actuator acts in a predetermined order.

[0069] The process described in the above embodiment is explained below through an embodiment in actual application.

[0070] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a pulse charging current curve of a power battery provided in an embodiment of the present application. The horizontal axis in the figure is the remaining power, and the vertical axis is the current value of the recharge. It can be seen that when the power battery is in working mode, the battery power is The pulse (30S) recharge current allowed changes from 230A to 0, and the process is a linear relationship. When the swing braking current is greater than the pulse recharge current allowed by the battery, the excess braking energy will cause a series of problems to the power battery, such as the cell voltage over-alarm, battery safety risks, and reduced battery performance life. When the power battery is in a high SOC state, the energy recovered by the battery becomes smaller and smaller, until the braking energy can no longer be recovered to the power battery. This energy can only be consumed by increasing the braking resistor or adding energy storage circuits and equipment. These measures are costly and it is also very difficult to install equipment in a limited space.

[0071] In response to the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this embodiment provides an electric swing braking energy control scheme for an electric excavator power battery under high SOC. This scheme can directly transfer the braking energy to the main pump motor for consumption, which saves space and cost, and can achieve the best performance of the entire machine.

[0072] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the braking energy recovery principle of an electric excavator provided in an embodiment of the present application shows a vehicle controller 1, a left joystick 2, a right joystick 3, a swing motor 4, a swing motor driver 5, a battery system 6, a main pump motor driver 7, a main pump motor 8, a main pump 9, a pump pilot valve 10, a relief valve 11, a bypass valve 12, a bypass pilot valve 13, an actuator pilot valve b14, a pressure sequence valve 15, an actuator valve 16, an actuator pilot valve a17, an actuator 18, a pressure sensor S1, a swing reducer and a swing platform J. M represents a motor, and the battery system includes a power battery.

[0073] During the swing brake, the braking energy of the swing motor is pulse-charged to the battery system through the swing motor driver or provides energy to the main pump through the main pump motor driver and the main pump motor. The main pump mainly provides the power source for the hydraulic circuit of each action of the excavator (except the swing action); the swing brake power ; T is the braking torque, which is set by the rotary motor driver; n is the rotary motor speed before braking. The machine corresponds to different speeds in different gears. Selecting the gear before working determines the current maximum target speed, and the current maximum braking power p can be calculated. The longest braking time is 3S, and the rotary motor speed is 0 after 3S.

[0074] When the remaining power SOC < When braking, the power battery can directly absorb the braking energy, that is, the battery is charged intermittently.

[0075] When the remaining power SOC ≥ , the power battery can no longer absorb the braking energy, and the swing braking energy must be completely absorbed by the main pump. The specific situation is as follows:

[0076] Case 1: The vehicle controller detects that the left or right electric control handle has only a single left or right rotation signal.

[0077] The left and right movements of the excavator's left electric control handle are the rotation signals, the middle position of the handle is the stop position, and the rotation signal is the driver's command to the system to move the rotation mechanism through the operating lever.

[0078] When the left handle starts to move left or right in the middle position, the slewing motor starts to accelerate. Because the vehicle controller 1 does not receive any other action signals from the left and right handles, the actuator pilot valves 14 and 17 do not work, and the bypass pilot valve 13 does not work either. At this time, the actuator valve 16 is blocked and the bypass valve 12 is opened, allowing the main pump oil circuit to flow to the oil tank through the bypass valve 12.

[0079] When the left handle starts to return to the center position on the left or right, the swing motor 4 starts to decelerate and brake, the actuator valve 16 is closed, the bypass valve 12 is also closed, and the main pump oil circuit flows to the oil tank through the overflow valve 11. Specific control process: When the vehicle controller 1 receives the signal that the left handle returns to the center position, it immediately feeds back the deceleration command to the swing motor driver 5, and the swing motor driver 5 gives a reverse braking torque. The swing motor immediately decelerates under the action of the reverse torque; at the same time, the vehicle controller 1 controls the bypass pilot valve 13 to be energized to close the bypass valve 12, and at the same time adjusts the current of the pump pilot valve 10. By adjusting the current of the pump pilot valve, the displacement V of the main pump is controlled, so that the main pump absorbs power (i.e., energy recovery power). ≥ Braking power P; where , ; is the torque, PB is the outlet pressure of the system main pump, the PB value can be detected by the pressure sensor S1, the maximum value of PB is determined by the relief valve 11 (such as 30MPa), the current speed n of the pump is known, and the displacement V is determined by the main pump motor speed and the current of the pump pilot valve 10.

[0080] Case 2: The vehicle controller 1 detects that the left and right electric control handles 2 and 3 have 2 or more direction action signals.

[0081] When it is detected that the left and right electric control handles 2 and 3 have two or more direction action signals at the same time, it indicates that there is a compound action, which includes a rotation action.

[0082] When the handle is operated in combination and the rotary motor starts to accelerate, the bypass valve 12 is closed, and the main pump oil circuit returns to the oil tank through the pressure reversing valve 15, the actuator valve 16, and the actuator 18.

[0083] When the handle is compounded and the rotary motor is decelerated and braked, the bypass valve 12 is closed, and the main pump oil circuit returns to the oil tank through the pressure reversing valve 15, the actuator valve 16, and the actuator 18; if the controller detects that the feedback value of the main pump outlet pressure sensor S1 is lower than a certain value, it can be determined through calculation that the braking power is greater than the main pump motor absorption power. At this time, it is necessary to start the pressure reversing valve 15 and adjust the pressure and the displacement of the main pump 9 to increase the consumption of the main pump motor 8. Specific control process: When the vehicle controller 1 receives the handle compound action signal (including rotation) and at the same time receives the reverse braking torque of the rotary motor driver 5, the vehicle controller 1 controls the bypass pilot valve 13 to be energized to close the bypass valve 12, and controls the corresponding actuator pilot valve 14 or 17 to be energized according to the handle signal. Because the pressure sensor feedback value and the main pump pilot valve current are negatively related, the pressure reversing valve 15 and the pump pilot valve current are adjusted according to the pressure sensor feedback value to make the main pump absorb power. ≥ Braking power P. Where , ; The PB value is detected by the pressure sensor S1, the maximum value of PB is determined by the pressure reversing valve 15 (such as 20MPa), and the displacement V is determined by the main pump motor speed and the pump pilot valve 10 current.

[0084] In this embodiment, an overflow valve and a pressure regulating valve are added to the hydraulic main circuit, the control circuit is simple and active absorption of rotary braking energy is achieved, and a series of problems such as the risk of over-voltage of power battery cells and degradation of battery performance are effectively solved without increasing system complexity and economic benefits.

[0087] A first recovery module 402 is used to charge the power battery using the braking energy generated by the rotary motor if the remaining power is less than a preset value;

[0088] The second recovery module 403 is used to input the braking energy generated by the rotary motor into the main pump through the rotary motor driver and the main pump motor driver if the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset value, so that the main pump uses the recovered energy to transport the hydraulic oil to the actuator or oil tank of the excavator.

[0089] This embodiment connects the excavator's slewing motor to the main pump motor driver, utilizes the energy generated by the slewing motor during the braking process, and determines the method of recovering the slewing braking energy according to the remaining power of the power battery. When the remaining power of the power battery is less than a preset value, the braking energy generated by the slewing motor is used to charge the power battery; when the remaining power of the power battery is greater than or equal to the preset value, the braking energy is input into the main pump through the slewing motor driver and the main pump motor driver, so that the main pump can use the braking energy to deliver hydraulic oil to the actuator or the oil tank. The above method avoids overcharging of the power battery and makes full use of the slewing braking energy. Therefore, this embodiment can effectively recover the slewing braking energy and improve the safety of the power battery.
