[0002] Electrification has become an inevitable trend in the development of the excavator industry. Most current electric excavators use an electric motor to replace the traditional internal combustion engine to drive the hydraulic pump to achieve power output. Although it can reduce the consumption of prime mover energy and emissions to a certain extent, due to the still use of a centralized hydraulic system, the energy transfer efficiency is low. The energy efficiency of the hydraulic system is only about 35%, and the recoverable energy generated during the operation of each actuator cannot be recovered. In addition, the centralized hydraulic transmission system is highly complex, and maintenance and fault troubleshooting are difficult. Therefore, the overall energy efficiency of electric excavators is still at a low level, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high power and high energy efficiency, greatly limiting the operating performance and endurance of excavators, and seriously restricting the green electrification transformation process of excavators.

All technical solutions falling within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0023] The present invention provides an electric excavator based on a distributed electro-hydrostatic direct drive system, including: a low-voltage control component 1; a vehicle control unit 11; a human-machine interface 12; low-voltage accessories 13; a lead-acid battery 14; a DC-DC 15; a high-voltage power supply component 2; a battery management system 21; a battery charging socket 22; a battery pack group 23; a battery thermal management system 24; a motor drive component 3; a high-voltage power distribution unit 31; a swing motor controller 32; a pump motor controller 33; a boom motor controller 34; a bucket motor controller 35; a swing drive component 4; a motor pump component 5; a bucket motor pump 51; a boom motor pump 52; a boom motor pump 53; a bucket variable pump drive motor 511; a bucket variable pump 512; a boom variable pump drive motor 521; a boom variable pump 522; a boom drive motor 531; a pump motor 532; a flow valve component 6; a travel hydraulic motor flow valve 61; a bucket flow valve 62; a boom flow valve 63; an independent speed control valve component 7; a travel hydraulic motor speed control valve 71; a bucket independent speed control valve 72; a boom independent speed control valve 73; a boom independent speed control valve 74; an actuator component 8; a travel hydraulic motor 81; a travel hydraulic motor 82; a bucket cylinder 83; a boom cylinder 84; a boom cylinder 85; a boom cylinder 86; Combined with the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1 In this embodiment, the bucket variable pump and the boom variable pump independently drive the bucket cylinder 83 and the boom cylinder 84 through the bucket flow valve 62 and the boom flow valve 63. Similarly, the pump motor 532 directly drives the boom cylinders 85 and 86 through the boom independent speed control valve 74.
[0024] Specifically, the inlet and outlet ports of the boom cylinders 85 and 86 are communicated with the boom independent speed control valve 74, and the pump motor 532 is used to independently drive the boom cylinders. When the excavator is performing the boom lowering operation, due to the action of gravity, the pump motor 532 operates in the reverse direction, converts the gravitational energy during the lowering process into electrical energy, and returns the energy to the battery pack group 23 through the boom drive motor 531, thereby improving the energy utilization rate.
[0025] As shown in the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the travel hydraulic motor flow control valve 61, the bucket flow control valve 62 and the arm flow control valve 63 are connected. When the bucket cylinder 83 is independently driven, the vehicle control unit 11 cuts off the oil circuit between the travel hydraulic motor flow control valve 61 and the arm flow control valve 63 by sending a control signal to the bucket flow control valve 62, so that the bucket variable pump 512 independently drives the bucket cylinder 83. When the arm cylinder 84 is independently driven, the vehicle control unit 11 sends a control signal to the arm flow control valve 63 to cut off the oil circuit between the bucket flow control valve 62, so that the arm variable pump 522 independently drives the arm cylinder 84.
[0026] As shown in the attached Figure 1 the specification, in this embodiment, when the bucket cylinder 83 faces a large-flow operation condition, the vehicle control unit 11 sends a control signal to the bucket flow control valve 62 through the CAN bus to cut off the oil circuit leading to the travel hydraulic motor flow control valve 61, and the vehicle control unit 11 sends a control signal to the arm flow control valve 63 to the oil circuit leading to the arm independent speed control valve 73. At this time, the flow rate of the bucket cylinder 83 can come from the combined flow rate of the bucket variable pump 512 and the arm variable pump 522. When the arm cylinder 84 faces a large-flow operation condition, the vehicle control unit 11 sends a control signal to the bucket flow control valve 62 to cut off the oil circuits leading to the travel hydraulic motor flow control valve 61 and the bucket independent speed control valve 72. At this time, the flow rate of the arm cylinder 84 can come from the combined flow rate of the bucket variable pump 512 and the arm variable pump 521.

When the excavator drives the travel hydraulic motor to work, the bucket flow control valve 62 cuts off the oil circuit leading to the bucket independent speed control valve 72, and the vehicle control unit 11 sends a control signal to the arm flow control valve 63 through the CAN bus to cut off the oil circuit leading to the arm independent speed control valve 73. At this time, the flow rate source for driving the travel hydraulic motor can be taken from the flow rate output by the bucket variable pump 512, or from the flow rate output by the arm variable pump 522. In addition, the flow rate for driving the travel hydraulic motor can also be taken from the combined flow rate output by the bucket variable pump 512 and the arm variable pump 522 at the same time.

This embodiment includes two slewing drive methods for the whole machine. Among them, in Method 1, the slewing drive assembly 4 is a slewing motor directly driving the whole machine to slew. The vehicle control unit 11 collects the slewing signal of the whole machine operation handle, sends a control signal to the slewing motor controller 32, and the slewing motor controller 32 sends control information to the slewing motor to drive the whole machine to slew. In Method 2, the slewing drive assembly is a closed-loop pump control system composed of a slewing motor pump and a slewing hydraulic motor. The slewing motor drives the variable pump to work. The pump adjusts the hydraulic flow and pressure. The state of the slewing body is real-time feedback through a closed-loop control system to adjust the operation of the motor and the pump to ensure the precise positioning and stable operation of the slewing system. The slewing motor is mechanically connected to the variable pump, and the variable pump communicates with the slewing hydraulic motor. The vehicle control unit 11 collects the slewing signal of the whole machine operation handle, and the vehicle control unit 11 sends slewing control information to the slewing motor controller 32 through the CAN bus. The slewing motor controller 32 sends control information to the slewing motor pump to directly drive the slewing hydraulic motor to work, thereby driving the whole machine to slew.

[0030] As shown in the attached drawings of the specification Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the high-voltage power supply assembly includes a battery thermal management system 24, a battery pack group 23, a battery charging socket 22, and a battery management system 21. The lead-acid battery 14 provides low-voltage power supply for the system; the input end and the output end of the battery management system 21 are electrically connected to the power battery and the driver respectively, and are used to monitor the state of the power battery and send it to the vehicle control unit. The output end of the battery thermal management system 24 is electrically connected to the battery management system, and communicates with the whole machine system through the CAN bus to monitor the temperature state of the power battery and send it to the vehicle control unit 11. The battery management system 21 and the battery thermal management system 24 perform state evaluation and health management by real-time monitoring parameters such as the voltage, temperature, and current of the battery cells. The high-voltage power supply assembly 2 is electrically connected to the motor drive assembly 3, and is used to provide drive electric energy for the motor drive assembly 3 and store and recover energy. The output end of the motor controller is electrically connected to the drive motor, and is used to send the motor state information to the controller, and at the same time receive the target control signal of the vehicle control unit 11 to drive the motor pump assembly 5 to work.
