[0035] Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of the present invention in detail, for the convenience of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure will be enlarged locally in a non-general proportion, and the schematic diagrams are only examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention herein.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a hydraulic power module for solving the problem that the hydraulic power in the prior art is prone to failure. The hydraulic power module 100 includes a pressure signal pipeline 106, and the pressure signal pipeline 106 is used to monitor the pressure value of the hydraulic system and control the hydraulic output; The pressure signal pipeline 106 continuously collects the dynamic pressure value of the hydraulic system to form a continuous pressure feedback signal; the pressure feedback signal is compared with a preset target pressure value in real time. If the pressure feedback signal continuously does not match the target pressure value, a fault signal is issued.

[0038] The hydraulic power module 100 has at least one set of power modes, which can adopt different power modes to pump hydraulic fluid according to the situation, and can maintain the normal operation of the hydraulic system when a certain power mode fails. For example, the common power source 101 uses a hydraulic oil pump, and the hydraulic oil pump is a high-pressure plunger variable pump. Under normal conditions, the hydraulic oil pump supplies oil to the multi-way directional control valve 400; the electric emergency source 102 is an electric emergency pump, which is used for emergency oil supply when the common power source 101 fails; the manual emergency source 103 is a manual emergency pump, which is used to maintain the final hydraulic power in the case of a complete vehicle circuit interruption. By setting three hydraulic power sources, the reliability of the hydraulic system and the power emergency guarantee ability are improved; When the monitored pressure is lower than the lower limit of the target pressure (such as 14.5 MPa), a boosting instruction is sent to the hydraulic power module 100 to control the variable pump of the common power source 101 to increase the displacement and increase the output flow; If the pressure continues to not reach the target value and the common power source 101 is abnormal (such as abnormal liquid level drop), switch to the electric emergency source 102 or the manual emergency source 103 to ensure continuous pressure supply; When the monitored pressure reaches the upper limit of the target pressure (such as 15 MPa), the controller reduces the displacement of the variable pump or switches to the constant pressure mode to maintain the stability of the system pressure.

[0039] Referring to Figures 1 - 3, also includes a common power source 101, an electric emergency power source 102, a manual emergency power source 103, an input pipeline 104 and an output pipeline 105; the common power source 101, the electric emergency power source 102, and the manual emergency power source 103 are all connected to the hydraulic fluid source 200 through the input pipeline 104. The electric emergency power source 102 and the manual emergency power source 103 are started after receiving a fault signal and are used to maintain the pressure of the hydraulic system; The common power source 101, the electric emergency power source 102, and the manual emergency power source 103 are all connected to the multi-way directional control valve 400 through the output pipeline 105, for providing the supply and pressure of the hydraulic fluid; The pressure signal pipeline 106 is connected to the hydraulic fluid source 200 and the multi-way directional control valve 400 through the common power source 101; An accumulator 107 is arranged on the pressure signal pipeline 106 and is used to absorb the pressure peak. The accumulator 107 can store a part of the hydraulic fluid. When the system pressure suddenly rises, the accumulator (107) absorbs the instantaneous pressure peak to avoid overpressure fluctuations of the pressure signal pipeline (106); when the pressure suddenly drops, the accumulator (107) releases the stored hydraulic fluid to supplement the system pressure and shorten the response delay; through the dynamic charging and discharging of the accumulator, the pressure signal curve is smoothed, the jitter of the hydraulic terminal action is reduced, so that the pressure signal is more stable, the response speed of the system to pressure changes is improved, and the jitter and instability of the system are reduced.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] In Figure 3 the exemplary embodiment of the hydraulic system according to the present invention shown in can be used as the overall hydraulic system of a fire and rescue vehicle, and is particularly suitable for a set of hydraulic systems to simultaneously control all hydraulic devices of the fire and rescue vehicle, for solving the problem of the complexity of the hydraulic system in the prior art, including at least one hydraulic terminal 300 that can expand and contract or lift through fluid pressure; also includes a hydraulic power module 100, which is connected to the hydraulic fluid source 200 and is used to control and / or regulate the pressure; a multi-way directional control valve 400, which is used to control and / or regulate the hydraulic fluid entering the hydraulic terminal 300; and the hydraulic fluid is pumped into the multi-way directional control valve 400 through the hydraulic power module 100, and the multi-way directional control valve 400 controls the action of the hydraulic terminal 300.

[0042] Referring to Figure 5, wherein, the hydraulic terminal 300 includes, but is not limited to, a middle column hydraulic cylinder 301, a slide hydraulic cylinder 302, a left front outrigger hydraulic cylinder 303, a right front outrigger hydraulic cylinder 304, a right rear outrigger hydraulic cylinder 305, a left rear outrigger hydraulic cylinder 306, a main platform telescopic hydraulic cylinder 307, a swing platform telescopic hydraulic cylinder 308, a fixed step up-and-down hydraulic cylinder 309, a movable step up-and-down hydraulic cylinder 310, and a rear tailgate retracting and extending hydraulic cylinder 311, which are respectively used to control the outriggers, columns, platforms, ladders, etc. of the fire rescue vehicle.

[0043] Correspondingly, a balance valve and / or a hydraulic lock are provided at the inlet of each hydraulic cylinder to maintain the hydraulic fluid pressure and the operation of the hydraulic terminal 300.

[0044] A middle column balance valve is provided at the input end of the middle column hydraulic cylinder 301, a slide balance valve is provided at the input end of the slide hydraulic cylinder 302, and a swing platform telescopic balance valve is provided at the input end of the swing platform telescopic hydraulic cylinder 308.

[0045] Hydraulic locks are provided at the input ends of the left front, right front, left rear, and right rear outrigger hydraulic cylinders 305, and hydraulic locks are provided for the platform telescopic hydraulic cylinder, the fixed step up-and-down hydraulic cylinder 309, the movable step up-and-down hydraulic cylinder 310, and the rear tailgate retracting and extending hydraulic cylinder 311.

[0046] Refer to Figure 4 , on the one hand, the hydraulic fluid source 200 outputs hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic power module 100, and on the other hand, it recovers the used hydraulic fluid in the multi-way directional control valve 400.

[0047] The hydraulic fluid source 200 includes a hydraulic oil tank 201. The hydraulic oil tank 201 is provided with a discharge port and a recovery port. The discharge port is connected to an oil injection pipeline, and the hydraulic fluid is pumped out from the discharge port by the hydraulic power module 100 and injected into the multi-way directional control valve 400. The hydraulic fluid discharged from the multi-way directional control valve 400 returns to the hydraulic oil tank 201 through the return pipeline from the recovery port; An oil suction filter 202 and a return oil filter 203 are respectively provided at the discharge port and the recovery port of the hydraulic oil tank 201, and a high-pressure filter 204 is provided at the inlet of the multi-way directional control valve 400. The hydraulic fluid is filtered by the three filters to prevent the hydraulic fluid from being contaminated, filter various impurities in the hydraulic system, and ensure the cleanliness of the hydraulic fluid.

[0048] A liquid level gauge 205 and an air filter 206 are also installed in the hydraulic oil tank 201. The liquid level gauge 205 is used to monitor the liquid level data of the hydraulic fluid, and the air filter 206 is used to prevent impurities from being mixed in during the refueling process and contaminating the hydraulic fluid.

[0049] Since heat is generated when the hydraulic system is in operation, a hydraulic fluid radiator 207 is provided at the front end of the return oil filter 203. The hydraulic fluid radiator 207 is an air-cooled radiator driven by a DC motor. There is a bypass between the input end and the output end of the hydraulic fluid radiator 207, and a check valve is provided on the bypass to play a role in bypass protection in case the hydraulic fluid radiator 207 is blocked, so as to control the hydraulic fluid temperature within the optimal range, prevent the hydraulic fluid temperature from being too high, causing the aging and damage of seals, polluting the hydraulic system, and at the same time preventing the decrease of the hydraulic fluid viscosity due to too high hydraulic fluid temperature, which affects the dynamic performance of the system.

[0050] Embodiment Three

[0051] Refer to Figure 6 , the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment Two is that: the multi-way directional control valve 400 is an open-type load-sensitive multi-way directional control valve 400 with two control methods of electromagnetic proportional control and handle control.

[0052] The multi-way directional control valve 400 has an oil inlet end 401, a monitoring end 402, and an oil return end 403. Inside the multi-way directional control valve 400, there is at least one branch 404 for controlling and / or adjusting the hydraulic terminal 300. The number of branches 404 of the multi-way directional control valve 400 corresponds to the number of hydraulic terminals 300. Each branch 404 corresponds to a hydraulic terminal 300 respectively. The hydraulic power module 100 pumps the hydraulic fluid out of the hydraulic fluid source 200, pressurizes it and then inputs it into the multi-way directional control valve 400. The multi-way directional control valve 400 then sends the hydraulic fluid into the corresponding hydraulic terminal 300 through a control signal, realizing the control of a set of hydraulic system for multiple hydraulic terminals 300.

[0053] On each branch 404 of the multi-way directional control valve 400, there is a solenoid valve with a handle for controlling the passage of the hydraulic fluid. At the same time, on each branch 404, there are also a flow meter and a pressure gauge for monitoring pressure data. The main pipeline of the multi-way directional control valve 400 is also provided with a flow meter and a pressure gauge.

[0054] Embodiment Four

[0056] S2. Start the hydraulic power module 100; S2.1. The hydraulic power module 100 preferentially starts the common power source 101; S2.2. The liquid level gauge 205 in the hydraulic oil tank 201 monitors the oil suction condition of the hydraulic oil pump. If the liquid level drops normally, it is judged that the common power source 101 normally extracts the hydraulic fluid and continues to operate; S2.3. If the liquid level is abnormal, for example, the liquid level drop speed is lower than the set value of 0.1 m / min, it is judged that the common power source 101 does not extract normally, and the controller issues an instruction to start the electric emergency pump; S2.4. The liquid level gauge 205 monitors the oil suction condition of the electric emergency pump. If the liquid level drops normally, it is judged that the electric emergency source 102 normally extracts the hydraulic fluid and continues to operate; S2.5. If the liquid level drop speed is still lower than 0.1 m / min, it is judged that the electric emergency source 102 does not extract normally, and the controller issues a manual control alarm signal to prompt the operator to manually start the manual emergency pump.

[0057] S3. Pump the hydraulic fluid and monitor the pressure; S3.1. The hydraulic power module 100 pumps the hydraulic fluid to the multi-way directional control valve 400, and at the same time, the pressure sensor in the pressure signal pipeline 106 monitors the pressure value in the pipeline; S3.2. If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 is less than the target pressure of 14.5 MPa, keep pumping; S3.3. If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 reaches 14.5 MPa, the controller issues an instruction to make the hydraulic power module 100 reduce the pumping flow rate; S3.4. If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 reaches 15 MPa, the controller issues an instruction to make the hydraulic power module 100 maintain the current pumping flow rate and maintain the pressure of the entire hydraulic circuit.

[0058] S4. The multi-way directional control valve 400 distributes the hydraulic fluid; S4.1. After receiving the control signal, the solenoid valve of the multi-way directional control valve 400 acts to open the branch 404 corresponding to the middle column hydraulic cylinder 301, and the hydraulic fluid enters the middle column hydraulic cylinder 301 to make it expand and contract; S4.2.

[0080] Loss function: Binary cross-entropy Loss, the optimizer uses Adam, and the learning rate is set to 0.001. S1.2.4 Prediction logic: When the health score output by the LSTM is lower than the set threshold (such as 0.2), it is determined that the power source is about to fail, and the prediction result 1 is returned, otherwise 0 is returned.

[0081] S1.3. If the prediction result is 0, then keep the current power source running.

[0083] S2. Intelligent power source switching.

[0084] S2.1. The controller evaluates the health score of the current power source based on the decision tree algorithm.

[0085] S2.1.1 Health score calculation.

[0086] Calculate the pressure stability in the past 10 minutes ( ), the temperature change rate ( ), and the current standard deviation ( ).

[0087] Use a weighted formula to calculate the health score :

[0088] If the calculation result > 80%, keep the current power source; if < 80%, enter S2.2 to execute the power source switching.

[0089] S2.2. If the health score of the electric emergency source 102 > 80%, then: Send a command to start the electric emergency power source 102, monitor the fuel supply status of the electric emergency power source 102. If the fuel supply is normal, the switching is completed, record the switching time. If the fuel supply is abnormal, enter S2.3.

[0090] S2.3: If the fuel supply of the electric emergency power source 102 is abnormal or the health score < 80%, then: Send a command to start the manual emergency power source 103. If the manual emergency power source 103 is operating normally, the switching is completed. Otherwise, enter S2.4.

[0092] S3: Monitor the system stability after switching.

[0093] S3.1: After the power source switching is completed, the controller continuously monitors the pressure change in the pressure signal pipeline 106.

[0094] S3.2: If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 after switching ≥ 14.5 MPa, maintain the current pumping state.

[0095] S3.3: If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 after switching < 14.5 MPa, then: If the current power source still has remaining output capacity, increase the pumping flow; if the current power source has reached the maximum output, trigger the S2 logic again to re-evaluate the standby power source.

[0096] S3.3.1 Calculate the new pumping flow : ; Wherein, represents the current pumping flow. If the current pressure < 14.5 MPa, calculate the new pumping flow: If the pressure returns to 14.5 MPa, maintain the flow unchanged.

[0097] S3.3.2 Re-evaluate the standby power source: If the pressure still does not recover after 5 consecutive adjustments: Trigger the S2 logic to re-evaluate the standby power source.

[0098] S3.4: If the pressure value in the pressure signal pipeline 106 ≥ 15 MPa, then: The controller reduces the output flow of the power source to maintain the pressure within the safe range.

[0099] By combining a neural network prediction model (LSTM) and a decision tree intelligent switching logic, the fault risk of the power source can be predicted in advance, rather than taking measures only after the fault occurs. Intelligently switch to the standby power source before the fault occurs to ensure the stability of the system pressure and avoid instantaneous pressure loss.
