[0055] Figure 1 The figure shows a loader operation control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0056] Step 101: Collect operation data of the loader's historical operation cycles, and obtain the remaining battery power and the status parameters of the engine aftertreatment system in real time;

[0057] Step 102: Calculate the average power of several operation cycles according to the operation data;

[0058] Step 103: Determine the operation parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current remaining battery power;

[0059] Step 104: Determine the operation condition curve according to the status parameters of the engine aftertreatment system;

[0060] Step 105: Control the operation of the loader according to the operation parameters of the range extender and the operation condition curve.

[0061] In a possible implementation manner, the operation data of the loader's historical operation cycles includes vehicle speed, working mode, and motor torque. In step 102, the calculating the average power of several operation cycles according to the operation data includes:

[0062] Identify several working stages in several operation cycles of the loader according to the operation data; for each operation cycle, calculate the sum of the power consumptions of each working stage within the operation cycle as the total power consumption of the operation cycle; accumulate the total power consumptions of several operation cycles to obtain the total power consumption of several operation cycles; obtain the total time of several operation cycles according to the accumulated value of the start to end time of all operation cycles; and obtain the average power of several operation cycles by dividing the total power consumption of several operation cycles by the total time of several operation cycles.

[0063] By collecting and analyzing detailed data on the historical operation cycles of the loader (including vehicle speed, working mode, and motor torque), the system can accurately identify different working stages in each operation cycle (such as starting, loading, transporting, unloading, etc.) and calculate the power consumption at each stage. This helps to more accurately calculate the total power consumption and total time of several operation cycles, thereby obtaining the average power. This precise calculation can provide a more scientific basis for the power output of the range extender, ensuring efficient operation under different working conditions. Based on the calculated average power, the system can dynamically adjust the operating parameters of the range extender according to the current remaining battery charge (SOC) and the status parameters of the engine aftertreatment system. By precisely calculating the average power, the system can better match the power output of the range extender with the actual operation requirements, reducing operation interruptions and equipment failures caused by insufficient or excessive power. This helps to improve the overall operation efficiency and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0064] In a possible implementation manner, in step 103, determining the operating parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current remaining battery charge includes:

[0065] Judging the current power state of the current remaining battery charge according to a preset power threshold interval; the preset power threshold interval is divided according to a preset power threshold; determining the operating parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current power state; the operating parameters include an operating mode and / or an output power value.

[0066] In a possible implementation manner, if the preset power threshold interval is in the first interval, the determining the operating parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current power state includes:

[0067] If the average power is greater than or equal to a first preset power threshold, the output power value of the range extender is determined to be the average power; if the average power is less than the first preset power threshold, the operating mode of the range extender is determined to be the pure electric mode.

[0068] In a possible implementation manner, if the preset power threshold interval is in the second interval, the determining the operating parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current power state includes:

[0069] If the average power is greater than or equal to the first preset power threshold, the output power value of the range extender is determined to be the average power; if the average power is less than the first preset power threshold, the output power value of the range extender is determined to be the first preset power threshold.

[0070] In a possible implementation manner, if the preset power threshold interval is in the third interval, the determining the operating parameters of the range extender according to the average power and the current power state includes:

[0071] If the average power is greater than or equal to the second preset power threshold, the output power value of the range extender is determined as the sum of the average power and the preset power increment; if the average power is less than the second preset power threshold, the output power value of the range extender is determined as the larger value between the average power and the preset power increment.

[0072] By dynamically adjusting the operating parameters of the range extender (including the operating mode and the output power value) according to the remaining battery charge (SOC) and the average power, it is ensured that the range extender can provide an appropriate power output under different power states, while meeting the operation requirements, improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. By precisely adjusting the operating parameters of the range extender, the system can better match the power output of the range extender with the actual operation requirements, reduce operation interruptions and equipment failures caused by insufficient or excessive power, improve the overall operation efficiency, and extend the service life of the equipment. By presetting the power threshold range, the system can select different operating strategies according to the range where the current remaining battery charge is located, ensuring efficient operation under different power states. Especially when the power is low, it can quickly charge to maintain the normal operation of the equipment. Through this precise calculation and dynamic adjustment strategy, the loader can operate efficiently and economically under different working conditions, while meeting environmental protection requirements and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0073] In a possible implementation manner, the engine aftertreatment system state parameters include the selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment temperature and the carbon loading; in step 104, the determining the operating condition curve according to the engine aftertreatment system state parameters includes:

[0074] 1. If the selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment temperature is less than or equal to the set temperature threshold, the operating condition curve is the first operating condition curve, and the first operating condition curve represents that the nitrogen oxide emissions are within the set low emission range;

[0075] 2. If the selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the carbon loading is less than or equal to the set carbon loading threshold, the operating condition curve is the second operating condition curve, and the second operating condition curve represents that the fuel consumption is within the set fuel consumption range;

[0076] 3. If the selective catalytic reduction aftertreatment temperature is greater than the set temperature threshold and the carbon loading is greater than the set carbon loading threshold, the operating condition curve is the third operating condition curve, and the third operating condition curve represents that the exhaust gas temperature is within the set high temperature range and the nitrogen oxide emissions are within the set high emission range.

[0077] By monitoring the status parameters of the engine after-treatment system (selective catalytic reduction after-treatment temperature and carbon loading), the system can select an appropriate operating condition curve based on these parameters to ensure effective control of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) emissions under different operating conditions and meet strict environmental protection standards. By selecting an appropriate operating condition curve, the system can optimize fuel consumption, reduce unnecessary fuel waste, and lower operating costs while ensuring compliance with emission standards. By avoiding the engine operating under unsuitable conditions, carbon deposition and faults in the after-treatment system can be reduced, and the service life of the equipment can be extended.

[0078] In summary, through precise calculation of the average power and dynamic adjustment of the operating parameters of the range extender, the system can achieve efficient utilization of fuel under different operating conditions. For example, when the battery power is sufficient, the pure electric mode is preferentially used, and when the power is insufficient, the output power of the range extender is reasonably adjusted to ensure that the fuel consumption is within the optimal range. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also lowers operating costs. By selecting an appropriate operating condition curve according to the status parameters of the engine after-treatment system, the system can effectively control NOx and PM emissions under different operating conditions.

[0079] For example, when the SCR after-treatment temperature is low, the L1 operating condition is selected to ensure that NOx emissions are within the low-emission range; when the carbon loading is high, the L3 operating condition is selected to increase the passive regeneration rate, reduce carbon deposition, and ensure compliance with environmental protection standards. By real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of the operating parameters of the range extender, the system can avoid the engine operating under unsuitable conditions, reduce carbon deposition and faults in the after-treatment system. For example, when the carbon loading is high, the L3 operating condition is selected to increase the exhaust gas temperature, eliminate carbon as soon as possible, delay the triggering moment of active regeneration, reduce the maintenance cost of the after-treatment system, and extend the service life of the equipment. By optimizing the power output and operating conditions of the range extender, the system can ensure that the loader can operate efficiently under different battery powers and operating conditions. For example, when the battery power is low, the range extender can quickly charge to ensure continuous operation of the equipment; when the operating conditions change, the system can real-time adjust the operating parameters, reduce operation interruptions caused by mismatched operating conditions, and improve the overall operation efficiency.

[0080] The following will introduce in detail how the loader intelligently adjusts its power output and operating conditions during different operation stages to optimize fuel consumption, emissions, and battery management.

[0081] The first stage: work cycle judgment and average power calculation.

[0082] The operations of a loader usually include stages such as starting and moving forward, loading, transporting, unloading, and reversing back to the starting point. These stages constitute a complete work cycle. The computer of the loader calculates how much electricity (or fuel) is consumed on average per cycle, that is, the average power P. Work cycle judgment is carried out according to the operating characteristics of the loader, including starting and moving forward, loading, transporting, unloading, and reversing back to the starting point, and the average power P is calculated based on the current n cycles; if a complete cycle is not completed within time t, the average power P is calculated according to time t. The system calculates the average power P according to the current number of cycles, that is, the power consumed per unit time on average by the loader when completing this cycle.

[0083] The work cycle specifically includes the following five parts:

[0084] 1. Accelerate from a standstill, and the vehicle speed increases from 0 to greater than 0. If the vehicle speed of the loader increases from 0 to greater than 0 starting from a stationary state, it is recognized as the starting and moving forward stage;

[0085] 2. Decelerate to a stop when the lifting motor needs to work (torque is greater than 0): the torque of the lifting motor is greater than 0, and then decelerate until the vehicle speed is 0. If the torque of the loader's motor is greater than 0 and the vehicle speed gradually decelerates to 0, it is recognized as the loading stage;

[0086] 3. Repeat acceleration and deceleration, while the lifting motor continues to work: the vehicle speed increases from 0 to greater than 0 and then returns to 0, during which the lifting motor continuously outputs torque. If the lifting motor continuously outputs torque during the period when the vehicle speed of the loader increases from 0 to greater than 0 and then returns to 0, it is recognized as the transporting stage;

[0087] 4. In a stationary state, the torque of the lifting motor gradually decreases to 0: the vehicle speed is 0, and the torque of the lifting motor decreases to 0. If the loader unloads the material and the torque of the motor decreases to 0 when the vehicle speed is 0, it is recognized as the unloading stage;

[0088] 5. The motor rotates in the reverse direction, accelerates from a standstill to a moving state again, and then decelerates to a stop: the motor speed is negative, the vehicle speed increases from 0 to greater than 0 and then returns to 0. If the loader reverses back to the starting position after unloading, and the vehicle speed increases from 0 to greater than 0 and then returns to 0 when the motor speed is negative, it is recognized as the reversing back to the starting point stage.

[0089] The second stage: Selection of power output value.

[0090] As a power generation system for range-extended electric vehicles, the range extender can achieve different operating modes under different SOC values by combining factors such as the overall vehicle power demand and different SOC values of the power battery. Among them, SOC is an indicator to measure the battery charge state, which represents the ratio of the remaining battery capacity to its rated capacity, usually expressed as a percentage. Figure 2The fuel consumption lines and high-altitude wiring under different working conditions are shown, where L1, L2, and L3 represent different high-altitude wiring respectively, while P1 and P2 represent different power levels.

[0091] Select the power output of the range extender (an auxiliary power device that can provide additional power when the battery power is insufficient) according to the remaining battery power. Specifically, the following several schemes are included:

[0092] 1. When the battery power (SOC) is greater than a certain threshold: SOC > S1 (for example, 70%): The range extender outputs at an average power P.

[0093] If P < P1 ( Figure 2 where the fuel consumption below P1 is shown to be poor in ), the engine shuts down and switches to pure electric mode. In this way, when the power demand is large with sufficient power, it outputs according to the demand power; if the demand power is small, to ensure economy, it runs in pure electric mode.

[0094] 2. When the battery power is between two thresholds: When S2 (for example, 30%) < SOC < S1: The range extender outputs at an average power P. If P < P1, then it outputs P1.

[0095] At this time, the SOC is in an intermediate state, and the power balance is maintained as much as possible without using the pure electric mode. If the working demand is low, the engine efficiency can be improved by increasing the power output above P1, and the excess power is used to charge the battery.

[0096] 3. When the battery power is less than the threshold: When SOC < S2: The range extender outputs at an average power P + Δp (for example, 20 kW).

[0097] If P < P2 (for example, 10% larger than P1), then the larger value between P2 and P + Δp is output. This is because at this time the battery SOC is at a low level, and the battery needs to be charged as soon as possible to keep the SOC in the intermediate state to reserve power for high-power output.

[0098] When the power demand is large, the system outputs according to the demand power; if the demand power is small, to ensure economy, it runs in pure electric mode. The excess power generated by the range extender is used to charge the battery to maintain the power balance.

[0099] The third stage: Selection of the operating condition curve.

[0100] The SCR system of the loader's engine is used to reduce harmful gas emissions. After determining the power output, the system will select the specific operating conditions according to the post-treatment temperature of the engine's SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and the carbon loading status, etc.:

[0101] 1. When the SCR post-treatment temperature is lower than a certain threshold: When the SCR temperature < T (e.g., 200 °C), it operates in L1 (a working condition with lower NOx emissions) to avoid exceeding the emission standard. The operating condition is the intersection of the selected power line and L1.

[0102] 2. When the SCR post-treatment temperature is higher than T: When the SCR temperature > T:

[0103] ① If the carbon loading > m (e.g., 60% of the regeneration carbon loading), it operates in L3 working condition (higher exhaust temperature, higher NOx emissions) to increase the passive regeneration rate, eliminate carbon as soon as possible, and delay the trigger time of active regeneration.

[0104] ② If the carbon loading < m, it operates in L2 working condition (best economy) with the goal of optimal economy.

[0105] If the temperature of the SCR system is lower than 200 degrees, the loader will select a working state (L1) with less emissions. If the temperature of the SCR system is higher than 200 degrees, the loader will select a working state according to the carbon loading (the amount of carbon accumulation in the engine). If the carbon loading is high, the loader will select a working state (L3) with a higher temperature and more emissions, so as to remove carbon deposits faster. If the carbon loading is low, the loader will select a working state (L2) that is the most fuel-efficient.

[0106] During the operation of the loader, due to the diversity and frequent changes of working conditions, the charge and discharge times of the battery increase accordingly, which has a significant impact on fuel consumption. Figure 2 In the figure, between the high-altitude wiring L3 and L2, the fuel consumption line shows the fuel consumption at different power levels. When the power demand is low, the fuel consumption performance is poor because the fuel burns incompletely when the engine operates at low load, resulting in a decrease in energy conversion efficiency. As the power demand increases, the fuel consumption gradually decreases until it reaches a relatively economical operating range.

[0107] The L1 working condition curve usually corresponds to a low-emission operation mode. In this working condition, the loader operates at a lower NOx emission level to meet environmental protection requirements. This mode may be used in environmentally sensitive areas or under specific regulatory requirements to reduce the impact on the environment. The L1 working condition curve may be associated with lower engine speeds and loads to optimize emission control and keep the engine operating in the clean combustion area.

[0108] The L2 operating condition curve represents the economic operation mode, aiming to achieve the best fuel efficiency. This operating condition curve reduces fuel consumption by optimizing the operating parameters of the engine, such as speed, load, and fuel supply, while maintaining sufficient power output. Under the L2 operating condition, the loader may operate in the high-efficiency region of the engine to achieve the best fuel economy. This mode is suitable for operating conditions where the load changes little and long-term stable operation is required.

[0109] The L3 operating condition curve is usually used for operating conditions with high power requirements, such as heavy-duty operations or situations that require quick response. Under this operating condition, the loader may operate at a higher engine speed and load to provide the maximum power output. The L3 operating condition curve may be associated with higher NOx emissions and fuel consumption, but this mode can provide the necessary power support when quick completion of job tasks is needed. In addition, the L3 operating condition curve may also involve a fast charging strategy to quickly restore the battery power and reserve energy for subsequent high power requirements.
