Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a weighing and limiting method, device, equipment and storage medium for a telescopic arm forklift. Background Art

[0002] Telescopic forklifts, as essential equipment in the construction machinery sector, play a key role in modern industry, logistics, construction, and other sectors. They can be used with a variety of attachments, such as forks, buckets, and hooks, to perform diverse tasks such as earthmoving, grain transfer, and material lifting. However, due to the complex operating environment, large load capacities, and high operating heights, these vehicles present a high risk of injury. Therefore, they require safety systems with weighing and limit settings to help operators better identify risks.

[0003] There are two common methods for weighing and limiting telescopic forklifts. One uses load cells, which directly measure the weight carried by the vehicle. The other uses force limiters. These force limiters are installed on the rear axle and indirectly determine the load by detecting rear axle deformation. The arm position is then limited based on whether the deformation reaches the expected calibration value.

[0004] The use of weighing sensors is relatively expensive, increasing the design cost of the entire vehicle and reducing the product's market competitiveness. As for the method of using a force limiter for weighing and limiting, since the force limiter detects the deformation of the rear axle, it cannot directly detect the actual load weight and can only limit the arm position based on the deformation of the rear axle. In addition, the entire force limiter system is easily restricted by the terrain. When the ground is tilted and uneven, it has a huge impact on the detection of the deformation of the rear axle, resulting in a large difference between the force limiter results and the actual load curve calculation results, making it difficult to ensure accuracy. In addition, after the vehicle has been in operation for a long time, the force limiter fixing bolts are prone to loosening, and the rear axle may also deform, making the force limiter's accuracy in detecting the deformation of the rear axle increasingly low, which in turn affects the arm position and increases the danger of human-machine operations.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Figure 1 A flowchart of a telescopic forklift weighing and limiting method is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to engineering operation scenarios. The method can be executed by a telescopic forklift weighing and limiting device. The telescopic forklift weighing and limiting device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The telescopic forklift weighing and limiting device can be configured in the telescopic forklift control unit. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0037] S110: Obtain operation-related parameters of the telescopic forklift.

[0038] Among them, operation-related parameters refer to data used to reflect the real-time status of the vehicle during the operation of the telescopic arm forklift, including the vehicle tilt status detected by the inclination detection unit, the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the telescopic arm forklift cylinder detected by the pressure detection unit, the telescopic length of the arm detected by the length detection unit, the amplitude change angle of the arm relative to the chassis detected by the angle detection unit, and the auxiliary tool type currently selected by the customer and the chassis inclination angle fed back by the auxiliary tool switching unit.

[0039] Optionally, the operation-related parameters include the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the leveling cylinder, the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the boom cylinder, the boom angle, the boom telescopic length, the chassis inclination angle and the type of auxiliary equipment.

[0040] It's clear that when calculating the target payload weight, the payload and the weight of the assistive device must first be combined, and then the known assistive device weight must be subtracted to arrive at the payload weight. Therefore, accurately identifying the assistive device type helps accurately calculate the target payload weight and also facilitates standardizing the calculation method for different assistive devices.

[0041] Optionally, the operation-related parameters of the telescopic forklift are obtained, including: detecting the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the lower leveling cylinder and the large and small chambers of the boom cylinder of the telescopic forklift through the pressure detection unit; detecting the boom boom angle through the angle detection unit, detecting the boom telescopic length through the length detection unit; detecting the chassis inclination through the inclination detection unit, and determining the auxiliary tool type through the auxiliary tool switching unit.

[0042] Specifically, the pressure detection unit includes pressure sensors installed in the boom cylinder and the lower leveling cylinder, respectively, for real-time detection of the pressure values ​​in the lower leveling cylinder's large and small chambers and the boom cylinder's large and small chambers of the telescopic forklift. The pressure value in the lower leveling cylinder's large and small chambers is used to calculate the lower leveling cylinder force, and the pressure value in the boom cylinder's large and small chambers is used to calculate the boom cylinder force. Cylinder force is an indispensable mechanical parameter when calculating the target load weight based on the principle of torque balance, and it directly affects the accurate measurement of the vehicle's carrying weight. The angle detection unit includes an angle sensor installed between the first boom section and the chassis, for detecting the boom's boom angle relative to the chassis. Based on the change in the boom's boom angle and in combination with the principle of torque balance, different formulas are substituted when calculating the target load weight to ensure the accuracy of the calculation results. The length detection unit includes a cable sensor installed between the second boom section and the first boom section, for detecting the boom's telescopic length. In addition, the telescopic length of the boom is also related to the calculation of the outreach, which is a key factor in determining the target operable area and has a significant impact on limiting the safe operating range of the vehicle. The inclination detection unit contains an inclination sensor installed in the chassis to detect the inclination of the chassis. The auxiliary tool switching unit is installed in the cab and is used to provide feedback based on the type of auxiliary tools currently selected by the customer. Since telescopic forklifts can be equipped with a variety of different auxiliary tools, such as forks, buckets, hooks, etc., the weights of different auxiliary tools are different. When calculating the target load weight, the load and auxiliary tool weights are combined and then the known auxiliary tool weights are subtracted to obtain the load weight.

[0043] S120. Determine mechanical data according to relevant parameters, and calculate the target load weight according to the mechanical data, wherein the mechanical data includes the force of the lower leveling cylinder, the lever arm of the lower leveling cylinder, the force of the luffing cylinder, the lever arm of the luffing cylinder, and the combined lever arm of the load and the auxiliary device.

[0044] The lowering cylinder force is calculated using a specific formula based on the pressure measured by the pressure detection unit in the lowering cylinder's large and small chambers, combined with data such as the cylinder barrel radius and rod radius. The lowering cylinder moment arm is calculated using a geometric relationship formula based on the distance between each hinge point in the overall machine design information, as well as the boom luffing angle, the absolute value of the minimum boom retraction angle, and the angle between relevant line segments when the boom is fully retracted. The luffing cylinder force is calculated using a specific formula based on the pressure measured by the pressure detection unit in the large and small chambers of the luffing cylinder, combined with data such as the cylinder barrel radius and rod radius. The luffing cylinder moment arm is calculated using a trigonometric relationship formula based on the distance between the luffing cylinder and the boom and chassis hinge points, as well as relevant angular data such as the boom luffing angle. These mechanical data are then substituted into different formulas for the boom raising and lowering phases, based on the principle of moment balance. Since the weight of the auxiliary equipment is known, the total weight of the load and the auxiliary equipment is calculated and then subtracted from the auxiliary equipment weight to obtain the target load weight.

[0045] Figure 2 A flowchart of a method for weighing and limiting a telescopic forklift is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. Step S120 mainly includes the following steps S121 to S126:

[0046] S121. Determine the force and lever arm of the lower leveling cylinder according to the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the lower leveling cylinder, and determine the force and lever arm of the luffing cylinder according to the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the luffing cylinder.

[0047] Specifically, the pressure detection unit detects the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the lower leveling oil cylinder, which are recorded as the large chamber pressure value P3 of the lower leveling oil cylinder and the small chamber pressure value P4 of the lower leveling oil cylinder. and cylinder rod radius , calculate the leveling cylinder force F7 through a specific formula, that is, first calculate the large chamber pressure F71 = P3×(3.1415×1000000)×( / 1000)×( / 1000), small cavity pressure F72=P4×(3.1415×1000000)×[( / 1000)×( / 1000)- ( / 1000)×( / 1000)], and then we get F7 = F71-F72. The lower leveling cylinder arm L7 is calculated using the following formula (1):

[0048] (1)

[0049] Among them, e represents the distance from the hinge point between the lower leveling cylinder and the chassis to the hinge point between the boom and the chassis, d represents the distance from the hinge point between the lower leveling cylinder and the boom to the hinge point between the boom and the chassis, Indicates the boom angle value, Indicates the absolute value of the minimum angle of boom retraction. It represents the angle between line segment d and line segment e when the boom is fully retracted.

[0050] Specifically, the pressure detection unit will also detect the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the variable amplitude oil cylinder, respectively measuring the pressure value P1 of the large chamber of the variable amplitude oil cylinder and the pressure value P2 of the small chamber of the variable amplitude oil cylinder. and cylinder rod radius , first calculate the pressure of the large chamber of the variable amplitude oil cylinder F41 = P1×(3.1415×1000000)×( / 1000)×( / 1000), small cavity pressure F42 = P2×(3.1415×1000000)×[( / 1000)×( / 1000) - ( / 1000)×( / 1000)], and then the luffing cylinder force F4 = F41- F42. The luffing cylinder force arm L4 is calculated using the following formula (2):

[0051] (2)

[0052] Among them, a represents the distance from the hinge point between the luffing cylinder and the boom to the hinge point between the boom and the chassis, b represents the distance from the hinge point between the luffing cylinder and the chassis to the hinge point between the boom and the chassis, Indicates the boom angle value, Indicates the absolute value of the minimum angle of boom retraction. It represents the angle between line segments a and b when the boom is fully retracted.

[0053] S122. Determine assistive device related parameters according to the assistive device type, wherein the assistive device related parameters include the assistive device weight and the lateral distance from the combined center of gravity of the assistive device and the standard load to the assistive device rotation hinge.

[0054] It is understood that because telescopic forklifts can carry a variety of auxiliary tools, such as forks, buckets, and hooks, different auxiliary tools have different weights, and the lateral distance from the combined center of gravity of the auxiliary tool and the standard load to the auxiliary tool's rotation hinge point also varies. Before actual operation, these parameters are calibrated and recorded for each auxiliary tool. When the auxiliary tool switching unit determines the type of auxiliary tool currently in use, it retrieves the corresponding auxiliary tool weight and the lateral distance β2 from the combined center of gravity of the auxiliary tool and the standard load to the auxiliary tool's rotation hinge point from pre-stored data.

[0055] S123. Substitute the telescopic length of the boom into the preset first distance calculation formula to determine the first distance, and substitute the first distance into the preset second distance calculation formula to determine the second distance, wherein the first distance is the distance from the hinge point between the boom and the chassis to the line connecting the cylinder barrel of the upper leveling cylinder and the boom hinge point, and the second distance is the distance from the hinge point between the boom and the chassis to the line connecting the auxiliary device rotation hinge point.

[0056] Specifically, the first distance calculation formula is as shown in the following formula (3):

[0057] (3)

[0058] Where L6 represents the first distance, L62 represents the vertical distance from the fully retracted boom to the chassis hinge point to the line connecting the upper leveling cylinder and the boom hinge point, L61 represents the horizontal distance from the fully retracted boom to the chassis hinge point to the line connecting the upper leveling cylinder and the boom hinge point, L represents the fully retracted boom screen length, and L1 represents the boom telescopic length. After obtaining the first distance L6, it can be substituted into the preset second distance calculation formula to determine the second distance. The second distance calculation formula is shown in the following formula (4):

[0059] (4)

[0060] Among them, L64 represents the second distance, L6 represents the first distance, and L63 represents the distance between the upper leveling cylinder and the arm hinge point and the auxiliary tool rotation hinge point. represents the angle between L6 and L61, , L62 represents the vertical distance from the hinge point between the boom and chassis in the fully retracted state to the line connecting the upper leveling cylinder barrel and the boom hinge point, L61 represents the horizontal distance from the hinge point between the boom and chassis in the fully retracted state to the line connecting the upper leveling cylinder barrel and the boom hinge point, Indicates the angle between L61 and L63.

[0061] S124. Substitute the lateral distance, chassis inclination angle, boom amplitude angle, and second distance into the preset lever arm calculation formula to determine the combined lever arm of the load and the auxiliary device.

[0062] Specifically, the preset force arm calculation formula is shown in the following formula (5):

[0063] (5)

[0064] in, Indicates horizontal distance, Indicates chassis inclination, forward inclination is positive, rearward inclination is negative, Indicates the boom angle, L64 indicates the second distance, It represents the angle between the connecting line between the arm and chassis hinge point and the auxiliary device rotation hinge point and the horizontal plane. Indicates the absolute value of the minimum boom retraction angle.

[0065] S125. Determine a weight conversion formula based on the moment balance principle, and substitute the mechanical data into the weight conversion formula to calculate the total weight of the load-bearing aid.

[0066] It should be noted that when the angle detection unit detects that the boom angle becomes larger, it is considered that the boom is rising. At this time, according to the torque balance principle, the weight conversion formula is G3×L5+F7×L7=F4×L4; when the angle detection unit detects that the boom angle becomes smaller, it is considered that the boom is descending, and the corresponding weight conversion formula is G3×L5+F4×L4=F7×L7.

[0067] Specifically, substitute the determined mechanical data—the lowering leveling cylinder force F7, the lowering leveling cylinder arm L7, the luffing cylinder force F4, the luffing cylinder arm L4, and the combined load and tool arm L5—into the weight conversion formula above. The total weight of the load and tool is G3, which is calculated as G3 = (G1 + G2) × 10, where G1 represents the target load weight and G2 represents the tool weight. By solving the formula, the value of G3, which is the total weight of the load and tool, can be calculated.

[0068] S126: Calculate the difference between the total weight of the load-bearing auxiliary equipment and the weight of the auxiliary equipment to obtain the target load weight.

[0069] Specifically, since the telescopic forklift can be replaced with different auxiliary tools, and the weight of each auxiliary tool is calibrated and recorded before actual operation, after obtaining the total weight G3 of the load and auxiliary tools, the known auxiliary tool weight G2 is subtracted from G3 to obtain the target load weight G1.

[0070] S130: Determine a target operable area corresponding to the target load weight, and perform position limit control on the telescopic forklift based on the target operable area.

[0071] The target operable area is a machine-readable load matrix generated from a load table based on the boom's telescopic length and outreach. Each target load weight corresponds to a target operable area, which defines the vehicle's safe operating range under varying loads. Limit control involves the control unit executing a strategy when the telescopic forklift's operating state is about to exceed the target operable area. At this point, the boom cannot be extended, raised, or lowered, but can only be retracted. This ensures the vehicle's center of gravity shifts rearward, preventing tipping and ensuring safe operation.

[0072] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention calculates the target load weight by obtaining operation-related parameters to determine mechanical data, thereby replacing traditional high-cost weighing sensors. On the basis of ensuring accuracy, it saves the design cost of the entire vehicle. By determining the target operating area and limiting the telescopic arm forklift based on it, the center of gravity of the vehicle is ensured to shift backward, effectively preventing the vehicle from overturning, improving the safety of human-machine operations, and improving work efficiency.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a telescopic forklift weighing and position limiting method provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment adds a specific process of determining a target operable area corresponding to a target load weight and performing position limiting control on the telescopic forklift based on the target operable area on the basis of the above-mentioned first embodiment. The specific contents of steps S210-S220 are substantially the same as those of steps S110-S120 in the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described in detail in this embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0075] S210: Obtain operation-related parameters of the telescopic forklift.

[0076] Optionally, the operation-related parameters include the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the leveling cylinder, the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the boom cylinder, the boom angle, the boom telescopic length, the chassis inclination angle and the type of auxiliary equipment.

[0077] Optionally, the operation-related parameters of the telescopic forklift are obtained, including: detecting the pressure values ​​of the large and small chambers of the lower leveling cylinder and the large and small chambers of the boom cylinder of the telescopic forklift through the pressure detection unit; detecting the boom boom angle through the angle detection unit, detecting the boom telescopic length through the length detection unit; detecting the chassis inclination through the inclination detection unit, and determining the auxiliary tool type through the auxiliary tool switching unit.

[0078] S220. Determine mechanical data according to relevant parameters, and calculate the target load weight according to the mechanical data, wherein the mechanical data includes the force of the lower leveling cylinder, the lever arm of the lower leveling cylinder, the force of the luffing cylinder, the lever arm of the luffing cylinder, and the combined lever arm of the load and the auxiliary device.

[0079] Optionally, mechanical data is determined according to relevant parameters, including: determining the lower leveling cylinder force and the lower leveling cylinder lever arm according to the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the lower leveling cylinder, and determining the variable amplitude cylinder force and the variable amplitude cylinder lever arm according to the pressure value of the large and small chambers of the variable amplitude cylinder; determining auxiliary tool related parameters according to the auxiliary tool type, wherein the auxiliary tool related parameters include the auxiliary tool weight and the lateral distance from the combined center of gravity of the auxiliary tool and the standard load to the auxiliary tool rotation hinge; substituting the boom telescopic length into a preset first distance calculation formula to determine the first distance, and substituting the first distance into a preset second distance calculation formula to determine the second distance, wherein the first distance is the distance from the boom and chassis hinge point to the line connecting the upper leveling cylinder barrel and the boom hinge point, and the second distance is the distance from the boom and chassis hinge point to the line connecting the boom and chassis hinge point to the auxiliary tool rotation hinge point; substituting the lateral distance, chassis inclination angle, boom variable amplitude angle and second distance into the preset lever arm calculation formula to determine the combined lever arm of the load and the auxiliary tool.

[0080] Optionally, the target load weight is calculated based on the mechanical data, including: determining a weight conversion formula based on the moment balance principle, substituting the mechanical data into the weight conversion formula to calculate the total weight of the load assistive device; calculating the difference between the total weight of the load assistive device and the weight of the assistive device to obtain the target load weight.

[0081] S230: Obtain an operable area table, wherein the operable area table includes the load weight corresponding to each boom extension length and each outreach.

[0082] The operational area table is a machine-readable load matrix generated from a load table based on boom extension and outreach. It includes load weight information corresponding to various boom extension and outreach lengths. The data in the operational area table is based on extensive experiments, theoretical calculations, and actual operational experience, reflecting the range of load weights that a vehicle can safely carry under different boom positions and outreaches.

[0083] S240: Filter the target load weight through the operable area table to determine the boom length range and outreach range corresponding to the target load weight.

[0084] Specifically, after obtaining the target payload weight, the control unit compares it with the data in the operable range table. The operable range table stores payload weight information corresponding to different boom telescopic lengths and outreaches. By searching for data that matches the target payload weight, the corresponding boom length and outreach ranges are determined. For example, if the target payload weight is a specific value, the row or column containing that value in the operable range table is found to obtain the corresponding boom telescopic length and outreach ranges.

[0085] S250. Take the boom length range and outreach range as the target operable area.

[0086] Specifically, the target operable area defines the range of length and reach within which the telescopic forklift's boom can safely extend under the target load weight. During actual operation, boom operations must be performed within the target operable area. Exceeding this area could result in safety risks such as an imbalanced center of gravity and tipping.

[0087] S260. Calculate real-time parameters through the angle detection unit and the length detection unit, wherein the real-time parameters include the real-time boom telescopic length and the real-time forward extension distance.

[0088] Specifically, the angle detection unit and the length detection unit work continuously during the entire operation process. The angle detection unit is installed between the first boom and the chassis, and can monitor the angle change of the boom relative to the chassis in real time. The length detection unit is installed between the second boom and the first boom, and can accurately measure the telescopic length of the boom. By obtaining real-time boom telescopic length data. At the same time, according to the outreach calculation formula L8 = L5-L2, L8 represents the real-time outreach, L5 represents the combined force arm of the load and auxiliary equipment, and L2 represents the horizontal distance between the hinge point of the boom and the chassis and the front section of the tire.

[0089] S270: When the real-time parameters exceed the target operable area, the preset boom limit control strategy is executed, and a safety reminder is generated through the reminder unit.

[0090] Specifically, when the measured real-time boom telescopic length and real-time forward extension exceed the target operating area, the control unit will immediately activate the preset boom limit control strategy. The limit control strategy stipulates that the boom cannot be extended, lifted, or lowered at this time, and can only be retracted. By retracting the boom, the center of gravity of the vehicle can be moved backward, reducing risks and ensuring the stability of the vehicle and operational safety. At the same time, the reminder unit installed in the cab will generate a safety reminder. The reminder unit uses sound, light or display prompts to inform the operator that the vehicle is currently beyond the safe operating range, reminding the operator to pay attention to safety and adjust the operating status in time.

[0091] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention calculates the target load weight by obtaining operation-related parameters to determine mechanical data, thereby replacing traditional high-cost weighing sensors. On the basis of ensuring accuracy, it saves the design cost of the entire vehicle. By determining the target operating area and limiting the telescopic arm forklift based on it, the center of gravity of the vehicle is ensured to shift backward, effectively preventing the vehicle from overturning, improving the safety of human-machine operations, and improving work efficiency.
