Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bidirectional driving control method and system for a forwarder, belonging to the technical field of engineering machinery. Background Art

[0002] At present, large-scale forest farms at home and abroad tend to mechanized and intelligent production, and their production process is roughly divided into three parts: felling, timber collection and transportation. In the process of timber collection and transportation, a variety of engineering vehicles are needed to realize the transfer of materials; therefore, the mechanized operation and production of large-scale forest farms require a lot of equipment costs, and due to the terrain constraints of different forest farms, the collection and transportation vehicles required are also different. Modern forestry engineering vehicles usually use rail-mounted collection locomotives and engineering vehicles for forest farm transportation; rail locomotives have high initial investment costs and poor transportation mobility, and their tracks are easily damaged by sudden factors, so engineering vehicles have a wider application in terms of cost, mobility and flexibility.

[0003] When using the existing engineering vehicle driving system to operate in forest farms, the transportation tasks are often affected by factors such as different slopes, different ground surfaces, and different geology. In order to improve this phenomenon, an engineering vehicle with a two-way driving system has been invented, which enables the vehicle to flexibly adjust and reverse in narrow forest passages or complex terrains. However, the existing two-way driving system only adds opposite driving positions and independent control systems to a single driving system, so the system requires two drivers to control the front and rear ends of the vehicle respectively to complete collaborative driving. If the driving skills and coordination of the two drivers are inconsistent, they will not be able to cope with emergencies and complex terrains. Therefore, the existing two-way driving container trucks have great safety hazards. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Example

[0023] Optional, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control unit shown is provided with a main controller 1, which is electrically connected to the braking unit, the travel unit and the data acquisition unit respectively; The brake unit includes a rear service brake pedal 8, a front service brake pedal 17, a brake system, and a working pump and an accumulator connected via an oil circuit; The steering unit includes a small dual-channel steering wheel 5, a steering rocker 10 and a steering switch 9; The travel unit includes an engine controller 3, a travel motor 11, a travel main pump 15, a front accelerator pedal 2 and a rear accelerator pedal 12; The data collection unit includes a seat direction sensor 14, a brake system pressure sensor, a parking brake pressure sensor, and a road condition information collection device.

[0024] The road condition information collection device in this embodiment is a combination of multiple sensors, cameras and GPS modules, which can perform real-time road condition prediction and detection through radar, images and satellite data to identify relevant road condition information of ordinary woodlands, rocky steep slopes and flat roads.

[0026] Optionally, the dual-channel small steering wheel 5 is used to control the second steering solenoid valve 13; The combination of the steering rocker 10 and the steering switch 9 is used to control the first steering solenoid valve 16; The first steering solenoid valve 16 is connected in parallel with the second steering solenoid valve 13 to jointly control the extension and retraction of the steering cylinder; Optional, such as Figure 1 The system shown also includes a two-way driving seat 4; a rotating device is provided at the bottom of the two-way driving seat 4 for adjusting the direction of the driving seat 4 so that the two-way driving seat 4 rotates toward the front accelerator pedal 2 and the front service brake pedal 17 or toward the rear accelerator pedal 12 and the rear service brake pedal 8; The steering unit is arranged on the bidirectional driving seat 4, and is used for flexibly switching the dual-channel small steering wheel 5 or the steering rocker 10 and the steering switch 9 as the seat rotates in both directions. Example

[0027] This embodiment provides a two-way driving control method for a forwarder, such as Figure 3 Shown include: Step 1: After the engine is started, obtain the start signal; Step 2: Based on the start signal, trigger the detection of road condition information and seat direction; Step 2.1: If the direction of the seat is forward, a control signal of the travel unit is generated to activate the operating handle and the front accelerator pedal of the vehicle, and the operating handle is used to adjust the maximum driving speed; Step 2.2: If the direction of the seat is reverse, a control signal of the travel unit is generated to activate a rear accelerator pedal of the vehicle; Step 3: Select driving mode according to road conditions; Step 4: Generate a control signal for the steering unit to adjust the vehicle steering based on the driving mode and seat orientation.

[0028] After the parking brake is released in this embodiment, the whole machine has no faults, so the driving engine is allowed to start and based on the start signal, the detection of road condition information and seat direction is triggered, and finally the driving direction switch is selected according to the seat direction and driving mode.

[0029] When the direction of the seat is forward and the driving mode is selected, the driving direction switch signal is received. If the driving direction switch is in F gear, the travel motor is controlled to rotate forward according to the pedaling stroke of the front accelerator pedal and the driving mode; if the driving direction switch is in R gear, the travel motor is controlled to rotate reversely according to the pedaling stroke of the front accelerator pedal and the driving mode.

[0030] When the direction of the seat is reverse and the driving mode is selected, the driving direction switch signal is received. If the driving direction switch is in F gear, the travel motor is controlled to reverse according to the pedaling stroke of the rear accelerator pedal and the driving mode; if the driving direction switch is in R gear, the travel motor is controlled to rotate forward according to the pedaling stroke of the rear accelerator pedal and the driving mode.

[0031] Optionally, after obtaining the start signal in step 1, the step also includes triggering the detection of the brake system pressure of the brake unit and the duration of the stop filling signal according to the start signal; Figure 4 As shown, if the brake system pressure is less than or equal to the lower pressure limit P1, a brake system filling signal is generated; If the brake system pressure is greater than or equal to the upper pressure limit value P2, a brake system filling stop signal is generated; and if the duration exceeds a set time range, a parking brake unlocking signal of the brake unit is generated.

[0032] Optionally, after generating the filling signal of the brake system, the method further includes: Get the filling time of the brake system; If the duration is less than or equal to the minimum time of 15S, a fault message is generated, driving is prohibited and an alarm is sounded.

[0033] Optional, such as Figure 5 After the parking brake unlocking signal of the brake unit is generated, the method further includes: Detecting the parking brake unlocking pressure of the brake unit; When the unlocking pressure is within the unlocking pressure range, it is judged that the brake unit has been unlocked normally, the parking switch has been turned on, and the engine has started normally; When the unlocking pressure is not within the unlocking pressure range, it is determined that the brake unit is not unlocked, and an alarm signal prohibiting walking is generated and output visually.

[0034] Optional driving modes include high-speed driving mode and low-speed off-road mode. The high-speed driving mode is suitable for flat ground, and the low-speed off-road mode is suitable for ordinary woodlands and rocky steep slopes. When the driving mode is high-speed driving mode, the vehicle's driving characteristics are low torque and high speed. When the driving mode is low-speed off-road mode, the vehicle's driving characteristics are high torque and low speed; This embodiment can make the engine work more efficiently on flat ground by combining low torque with high speed to provide the necessary power output to meet the vehicle's needs for rapid acceleration and high-speed driving, while reducing fuel consumption and engine wear.

[0035] On ordinary woodlands and rocky steep slopes, high torque combined with low speed can provide strong traction at low speed, helping the vehicle to easily cope with complex terrain and obstacles, such as climbing between woodlands, crossing muddy and sandy land, etc. At the same time, low speed can reduce the load on the engine and transmission system, and improve the durability and reliability of the vehicle. By setting different driving modes, it is ensured that the vehicle can play the best performance in different driving environments and different seat direction controls.

[0036] Optionally, according to the driving mode and the seat direction, a control signal of the steering unit is generated to adjust the vehicle steering, including: When the driving mode is high-speed driving mode, an activation signal of the dual-channel small steering wheel is generated, the second steering solenoid valve in the steering unit is opened and the rotation direction of the steering cylinder is controlled according to the seat direction; When the driving mode is the low-speed off-road mode, a combined activation signal of the steering rocker and the steering switch is generated, the first steering solenoid valve in the steering unit is opened and the rotation direction of the steering cylinder is controlled according to the seat direction.

[0037] In this embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the driving mode is the low-speed off-road mode, a combined activation signal of the steering rocker and the steering switch is generated, the first steering solenoid valve in the steering unit is turned on and controls the rotation direction of the steering cylinder according to the seat direction to control the vehicle to turn sharply; specifically, after the engine is started, if the steering rocker and the steering switch are to the left and the seat direction is forward, the first steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to turn sharply to the left; if the steering rocker and the steering switch are to the left and the seat direction is not forward, the first steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to turn sharply to the right; If the steering rocker and steering switch are to the right and the seat is in the positive direction, the first steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to turn sharply to the right; if the steering rocker and steering switch are to the right and the seat is not in the positive direction, the first steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to turn sharply to the left.

[0038] Similarly, when the driving mode is the high-speed driving mode, an activation signal of the dual-channel small steering wheel is generated, and the second steering solenoid valve in the steering unit is opened to control the vehicle's micro-steering; specifically, after the engine is started, if the dual-channel small steering wheel turns counterclockwise and the seat direction is positive, the second steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to micro-steer to the left; if the dual-channel small steering wheel turns counterclockwise and the seat direction is not positive, the second steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to micro-steer to the right.

[0039] If the dual-channel small steering wheel turns clockwise and the seat direction is positive, the second steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to slightly steer to the right; if the dual-channel small steering wheel turns clockwise and the seat direction is not positive, the second steering solenoid valve controls the steering cylinder to slightly steer to the left.

[0040] In summary, the driving control system provided by the present invention can be driven in both directions, automatically switch the relevant actuators of the steering unit and the driving unit according to the direction of the seat, and match and activate the corresponding driving mode according to the collected road condition information, reduce the complexity of manual operation and meet the needs of various terrains, improve the safety of forest driving, and avoid driving and steering errors caused by human operation errors. The actuator related to the steering unit is composed of two subsystems. The first one is controlled by a dual-channel small steering wheel for high-speed driving mode; the second one is controlled by a steering rocker and a steering switch for low-speed off-road mode. The steering unit is flexibly adjusted according to the driving mode and the direction of the seat. When driving at high speed, the small steering wheel controls small steering. When driving at low speed off-road, the steering rocker and the steering switch control large steering. If any one of the steering circuits fails, the other can be used for emergency steering, which improves safety and controllability.
