Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tractors, and in particular to a control system and a control method for an electric tractor. Background Art

[0002] Currently, tractors, the primary power source for agricultural production, are driven by traditional diesel engines, which suffer from drawbacks such as high emissions and complex transmission structures. Electric tractors, with their zero-emission and continuously variable transmission advantages, have become a key development direction for agricultural machinery. In electric tractors, the hydraulic pump is typically driven by an independent hydraulic motor. The vehicle controller can continuously adjust the hydraulic motor's speed, providing a foundation for intelligent control of the hydraulic system, reducing energy consumption and improving performance.

[0003] The hydraulic pumps of existing tractors (including some electric models) are often driven directly or indirectly by the engine. This results in a proportional relationship between the hydraulic pump speed and the engine speed, preventing independent and flexible adjustment. This drive method has significant drawbacks: in operating conditions such as parking, the hydraulic pump remains idle, continuously circulating hydraulic oil and causing unnecessary power loss. Furthermore, when the hydraulic system requires high flow output (such as operating a multi-way valve or lifting an implement), the hydraulic pump speed cannot automatically increase, resulting in insufficient output flow, affecting implement movement speed and system performance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the application for which protection is claimed, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, each other embodiment obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work falls within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0018] First, the application scenarios to which this application is applicable are introduced. This application can be applied in the field of tractor technology.

[0019] Research has found that tractors are the primary power machinery in agricultural production. Traditional diesel tractors suffer from drawbacks such as high emissions and complex transmission structures. Electric tractors, a trending development in advanced agricultural machinery, offer numerous advantages, including zero emissions and continuously variable transmission. The hydraulic pump in an electric tractor is driven solely by a hydraulic motor, whose speed is continuously variable controlled by a vehicle controller. By adding control methods, the hydraulic system can be intelligently adjusted to suit varying operating conditions, reducing power consumption and improving hydraulic system performance.

[0020] Existing tractor hydraulic pumps are driven directly or indirectly by the engine. The hydraulic pump speed is proportional to the engine speed and cannot be adjusted arbitrarily. When parked, the hydraulic pump remains in an idle state, constantly circulating hydraulic oil and causing significant power loss. When the hydraulic multi-way valve is engaged or when lifting an implement, the hydraulic pump speed cannot automatically increase. The hydraulic flow rate is low during this period, affecting the valve's output flow and the tool lifting speed.

[0021] Based on this, the present invention provides an electric tractor control system and method. Through the collaborative operation of a vehicle controller and a hydraulic motor controller, intelligent regulation of the hydraulic motor's operating state is achieved. Based on the hydraulic motor's operating speed and the tractor's actual operating conditions, the vehicle controller automatically determines and sends idle, shutdown, or speed-up commands to the hydraulic motor controller, which then precisely controls the hydraulic motor to the corresponding state. This solution effectively starts and stops the hydraulic motor on demand, significantly reducing inefficient energy consumption and improving the electric tractor's energy efficiency and endurance.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the structural diagrams of the control system of the electric tractor provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown in , the control system of the electric tractor provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a vehicle controller 1 and a hydraulic motor controller 14 .

[0023] The vehicle controller (VCU) 1 can collect and detect data such as throttle opening signal, motor speed, hydraulic output multi-way valve status, hydraulic lifter status, hydraulic steering gear status, etc., and communicate with the hydraulic motor controller 14 and other necessary electronic control units (such as drive motor controller, power take-off (PTO) motor controller, etc.) through the CAN bus to ensure data interaction and coordinated control between various components.

[0024] The Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) is the core component of the vehicle control system. It collects driver operation information such as the accelerator pedal, gear position signal, and brake pedal, and combines it with the current vehicle status (such as motor speed, vehicle speed, battery power, etc.) to determine the driver's intention and make corresponding control decisions.

[0025] The English name of the power take-off (PTO) motor controller is “Power Take-Off (PTO) Motor Controller”, where “Power Take-Off” is abbreviated as “PTO”, which means “power output”, so the Chinese expression is “power take-off PTO motor controller”.

[0026] The hydraulic motor controller 14 and the hydraulic motor 15 are electrically connected to transmit control signals, thereby achieving precise regulation of the speed of the hydraulic motor.

[0027] The vehicle controller 1 is configured to obtain the execution speed of the hydraulic motor 15 and send a hydraulic motor idle operation command to the hydraulic motor controller 14 when detecting that the hydraulic motor 15 meets a first condition, and to send a hydraulic motor shutdown command to the hydraulic motor controller 14 when detecting that the tractor meets a second condition, and to send a hydraulic motor speed increase command to the hydraulic motor controller 14 when detecting that the tractor meets a third condition; The vehicle controller 1 obtains the execution speed signal of the hydraulic motor 15 and other signals related to the tractor's operating status (such as throttle opening, travel motor speed, power output motor speed, hydraulic output multi-way valve status, hydraulic lifter status, hydraulic steering gear status, etc.) in real time. The vehicle controller 1 processes and analyzes the obtained signals according to preset logic and conditions to determine whether the hydraulic motor 15 and the tractor meet specific operating conditions.

[0028] The hydraulic motor controller 14 is used to receive a hydraulic motor idle operation command from the vehicle controller 1 to control the hydraulic motor 15 to enter an idle state, and is used to receive a hydraulic motor 15 shutdown command from the vehicle controller 1 to control the hydraulic motor 1 to enter a shutdown state, and is used to receive a hydraulic motor speed increase command from the vehicle controller 1 to control the hydraulic motor 15 to enter a speed increase state.

[0029] When the vehicle controller 1 detects that the hydraulic motor 15 meets the first condition (such as the rotation speed is equal to the preset idle speed), it sends a hydraulic motor idle speed operation command to the hydraulic motor controller 14 .

[0030] When the vehicle controller 1 detects that the tractor meets the second condition (such as the throttle opening is zero, the travel motor speed is zero, the power output motor speed is zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is closed, the hydraulic lifter is closed, and the hydraulic steering gear is closed), it sends a hydraulic motor shutdown command to the hydraulic motor controller 14.

[0031] When the vehicle controller 1 detects that the tractor meets the third condition (such as the hydraulic output multi-way valve is open or the hydraulic lifter is open or the hydraulic steering gear is working), it sends a hydraulic motor speed increase command to the hydraulic motor controller 14. After receiving the corresponding command, the hydraulic motor controller 14 controls the hydraulic motor 15 to enter the idle state, the shutdown state or the speed increase state through the drive circuit.

[0032] The present application reduces ineffective energy consumption when the tractor is parked and waiting or when high-flow hydraulic output is not required by starting and stopping the hydraulic motor 15 on demand, thereby improving the energy efficiency and endurance of the electric tractor, and realizing intelligent control of the hydraulic system, so that the hydraulic motor 15 can automatically adjust the speed according to the actual operating conditions of the tractor, thereby improving the response speed and performance of the hydraulic system. When the load is small, the hydraulic motor 15 runs at a lower speed, reducing noise and wear of mechanical parts, extending the service life of various components of the hydraulic system, and reducing maintenance costs. When high-flow hydraulic output or machine lifting is required, the hydraulic motor 15 can automatically increase the speed and increase the output flow of the hydraulic pump, thereby increasing the flow output of the hydraulic multi-way valve and the speed of machine lifting, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the tractor.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 2 , see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is the second structural diagram of the control system of the electric tractor provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2As shown in , the control system of the electric tractor provided in the embodiment of the present application also includes: a power battery 2, a high-voltage distribution box 3, a drive motor controller 4, a drive motor 5, a gearbox 6, a rear axle 7, rear wheels 8, a front axle 9, front wheels 10, a power output motor controller 11, a power output motor 12, a power output shaft 13, a hydraulic transfer case 16, a working hydraulic pump 17, a steering hydraulic pump 18, a hydraulic lifter 19, a hydraulic output multi-way valve 20, and a hydraulic steering gear 21.

[0036] Dotted lines represent low-voltage communication connections. For example, the dotted lines between the high-voltage distribution box 3 and the power take-off motor controller 11 and the hydraulic motor controller 14 are used to transmit low-voltage communication data, such as control signals and status information, between various controllers or components, enabling information exchange and control between various parts of the system.

[0037] Thick solid lines represent hydraulic connections. For example, the thick solid lines between the transmission 6 and the working hydraulic pump 17 and steering hydraulic pump 18 transmit hydraulic oil, providing hydraulic power to components in the hydraulic system (such as the hydraulic pump and hydraulic cylinder).

[0054] Working hydraulic pump 17: Driven by the hydraulic transfer case, it generates high-pressure hydraulic oil to provide hydraulic power for the hydraulic lifter and hydraulic output multi-way valve for lifting equipment and operating hydraulic output equipment.

[0055] Steering hydraulic pump 18: driven by the hydraulic transfer case, it generates high-pressure hydraulic oil to provide hydraulic power for the hydraulic steering gear to realize the steering function of the vehicle.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle controller (VCU) is connected to the drive motor controller, power take-off (PTO) motor controller, hydraulic motor controller, etc. via a low-voltage communication line (such as a CAN bus) to collect status information of each component and issue control instructions according to a preset control strategy.

[0060] The drive motor controller receives instructions from the vehicle controller, controls the speed, torque and steering of the drive motor, and realizes the control of vehicle driving; the power output motor controller receives instructions from the vehicle controller, controls the operation of the power take-off (PTO) motor, and realizes the control of power output; the hydraulic motor controller receives instructions from the vehicle controller, controls the operation of the hydraulic motor, and then controls the operation of the hydraulic system, and realizes the control of the hydraulic lifter, hydraulic output multi-way valve and hydraulic steering gear.

[0061] Specifically, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of the vehicle controller provided in an embodiment of the present application for determining whether the hydraulic motor meets the first condition. The vehicle controller determines whether the hydraulic motor meets the first condition in the following manner: S101, after detecting that the tractor is powered on, sending a hydraulic motor speed acquisition signal to the hydraulic motor; Normal working state: The driver controls the tractor to start the power, and the hydraulic motor 15 runs in the idle state, and the hydraulic motor speed n=n idle. At this time, the flow rate of the hydraulic system can meet the use of common functions such as tractor steering, gear shift control, four-wheel drive control, differential control, etc.

[0062] The vehicle controller detects that the tractor is powered on, which means that the vehicle's power system starts to supply power and all electronic components enter an operational state; the vehicle controller sends a speed acquisition signal to the hydraulic motor to obtain the current speed information of the hydraulic motor, so as to subsequently determine whether the operating status of the hydraulic motor meets the preset requirements.

[0063] S102, receiving a speed signal returned by the hydraulic motor; After the hydraulic motor receives the speed acquisition signal sent by the vehicle controller, it feeds back its current speed information to the vehicle controller in the form of a signal; the vehicle controller receives the speed signal returned by the hydraulic motor and provides data basis for subsequent judgment.

[0064] S103, determining whether the execution speed corresponding to the speed signal is equal to the preset idle speed; The vehicle controller converts the received hydraulic motor speed signal into an actual execution speed value, and compares it with the pre-set idle speed value to determine whether the current operating state of the hydraulic motor meets the conditions for entering idle operation.

[0065] S104: If the execution speed corresponding to the speed signal is equal to the preset idle speed, it is determined that the hydraulic motor meets the first condition, and a hydraulic motor idle operation command is sent to the hydraulic motor controller; When the judgment result is that the execution speed of the hydraulic motor is equal to the preset idle speed, it means that the current state of the hydraulic motor meets the conditions for entering idle operation.

[0066] Here, the vehicle controller sends a hydraulic motor idle operation command to the hydraulic motor controller. After receiving the command, the hydraulic motor controller will control the hydraulic motor to enter the idle operation state. At this time, the hydraulic motor runs at a lower speed, providing sufficient hydraulic power to meet the needs of some common functions of the tractor (such as steering, gear shifting control, etc.) while reducing power consumption.

[0067] S105: If the execution speed corresponding to the speed signal is not equal to the preset idle speed, it is determined that the hydraulic motor does not meet the first condition, and the speed signal of the hydraulic motor continues to be obtained.

[0068] When the judgment result is that the execution speed of the hydraulic motor is not equal to the preset idle speed, it means that the current state of the hydraulic motor does not meet the conditions for entering the idle operation.

[0069] Execution action: The vehicle controller continues to obtain the speed signal of the hydraulic motor and continuously monitors the operating status of the hydraulic motor until its speed meets the preset idle speed condition.

[0070] Specifically, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flow chart of the vehicle controller provided in an embodiment of the present application for determining whether the hydraulic motor meets the second condition. The vehicle controller determines whether the hydraulic motor meets the second condition in the following manner: S201, when it is detected that the hydraulic motor is in an idle state, obtaining a second parameter of the tractor; The vehicle controller confirms that the hydraulic motor is in the idling state by communicating with the hydraulic motor controller or other monitoring means.

[0071] The vehicle controller begins acquiring the tractor's secondary parameters. These parameters typically include throttle position, travel motor speed, power take-off motor speed, hydraulic output multi-way valve status, hydraulic lift status, and hydraulic steering gear status. These parameters fully reflect the tractor's current operating conditions and the working status of its various components.

[0072] S202: determining whether the tractor satisfies a second condition based on the second parameter; The vehicle controller compares the acquired second parameter with the preset second condition one by one. For example, it checks whether the throttle opening is zero, the travel motor speed is zero, the power output motor speed is zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is closed, the hydraulic lifter is closed, and the hydraulic steering gear is closed.

[0073] For example, if the hydraulic output multi-way valve is closed, it means that the tractor is not in the hydraulic external output state; if the hydraulic lifter is closed, it means that the tractor is not in the implement lifting state; if the hydraulic steering gear is closed, it means that the tractor is not in the steering state.

[0074] Determine if the tractor is currently in a condition where the hydraulic motor can be stopped to avoid unnecessary consumption of electrical energy.

[0075] S203: If the tractor satisfies the second condition, a hydraulic motor shutdown command is sent to the hydraulic motor controller, causing the hydraulic motor to enter a shutdown state; When the vehicle controller determines that the second parameters of the tractor all meet the second condition, it means that the tractor is currently in a state where the hydraulic motor does not need to continue to run.

[0076] The vehicle controller sends a hydraulic motor shutdown command to the hydraulic motor controller. After receiving the command, the hydraulic motor controller will cut off the power supply to the hydraulic motor or take other control measures to stop the hydraulic motor from running, thereby saving energy.

[0077] S204: If the tractor does not meet the second condition, return to step (A) and continue to detect the second parameter.

[0078] As long as one of the second parameters of the tractor does not satisfy the second condition, it indicates that the tractor currently still needs the hydraulic motor to provide hydraulic power.

[0079] The vehicle controller returns to step S201, continues to periodically acquire and detect the second parameters, and continuously monitors the operating status of the tractor until all the second parameters meet the second condition.

[0080] In an optional embodiment, the second parameter includes throttle opening, travel motor speed, power output motor speed, hydraulic output multi-way valve status, hydraulic lifter status and hydraulic steering gear status.

[0081] Throttle opening: refers to the degree to which the accelerator pedal is depressed, usually expressed as a percentage, reflecting the driver's demand for vehicle power. In a tractor, a throttle opening of zero means that the driver has not depressed the accelerator pedal, that is, there is no additional power demand instruction. This is an important indicator for determining whether the tractor is idle or near a stop.

[0082] Travel motor speed: The travel motor is the motor that drives the tractor. Its speed directly determines the tractor's travel speed. A travel motor speed of zero means that the tractor is not currently moving and is in a stationary state. This is one of the key factors in determining whether the tractor meets the shutdown conditions.

[0083] Power take-off motor speed: The power take-off (PTO) motor is used to provide power to farm implements or other equipment outside the tractor. Its speed reflects the operating status of the external equipment. A power take-off motor speed of zero indicates that the external equipment is not running and the tractor does not need to provide additional power through the power take-off motor, creating conditions for shutdown.

[0084] Hydraulic output multi-way valve status: The hydraulic output multi-way valve is used to control the flow direction and flow of hydraulic oil, thereby controlling the action of various hydraulic actuators (such as hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motors, etc.). When the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the closed state, it means that the hydraulic system has no external power output, that is, no operations such as machine lifting and hydraulic output are performed. This is an important basis for judging whether the hydraulic system is in a non-working state.

[0085] Hydraulic lifter status: The hydraulic lifter is mainly used to raise or lower loads such as agricultural implements. Its status (on or off) determines whether the lifting operation is in progress. If the hydraulic lifter is in the off state, it means that the agricultural implement is not being raised or lowered. The tractor does not need to provide hydraulic power to the hydraulic lifter, which helps to determine whether the tractor can be shut down.

[0086] Hydraulic steering gear status: The hydraulic steering gear is used to control the steering of the tractor and provides power assistance through the hydraulic system. The hydraulic steering gear being in the off state means that the tractor is not currently performing a steering operation and the hydraulic system does not need to provide additional power for steering. This is also one aspect of determining whether the tractor meets the shutdown conditions.

[0087] The vehicle controller determines whether the tractor meets the second condition in the following way: When it is detected that the throttle opening is equal to zero, the travel motor speed is equal to zero, the power output motor speed is equal to zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the closed state, the hydraulic lifter is in the closed state and the hydraulic steering gear is in the closed state, and the duration is greater than the first duration, it is determined that the tractor meets the second condition.

[0088] The vehicle controller monitors the value of the second parameter in real time and obtains the throttle opening, motor speed and status information of each hydraulic component through sensors and communication lines.

[0089] When it is detected that the throttle opening is equal to zero, the travel motor speed is equal to zero, the power output motor speed is equal to zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the closed state, the hydraulic lifter is in the closed state and the hydraulic steering gear is in the closed state, it is necessary to further determine whether the duration of these states is greater than the first duration.

[0090] The first duration is set to avoid misjudgments and prevent erroneous shutdown commands due to brief parameter changes (such as the driver briefly releasing the accelerator or a brief hydraulic component state change). The vehicle controller determines that the tractor meets the second condition only when all the above conditions are met for a period exceeding the first duration.

[0091] After the vehicle controller 1 (VCU) detects that all the conditions in the second condition are met, it automatically controls the hydraulic motor 15 to stop and execute the speed n=0.

[0092] Once all the above conditions are met (the parameter values are met and the duration is greater than the first duration), the vehicle controller will determine that the tractor meets the second condition, and then send a hydraulic motor shutdown command to the hydraulic motor controller to put the hydraulic motor into a shutdown state, thereby saving energy.

[0093] Hydraulic Motor Shutdown: When the tractor is operating and the vehicle controller detects that all conditions in the second condition are met for a duration greater than the first duration, the vehicle controller 1 sends a hydraulic motor shutdown command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the shutdown signal, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor speed to n = 0, stopping the hydraulic motor. This reduces wasted hydraulic cycle energy consumption while the tractor is waiting, reduces power consumption, and increases driving time.

[0094] When the hydraulic motor is in the shutdown state, the vehicle controller detects that at least one condition does not meet the second condition. It then sends a hydraulic motor idle command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the idle command, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor to execute a speed n=n idle, ensuring normal operation of the hydraulic motor without affecting the tractor's normal use.

[0095] Specifically, the vehicle controller is also configured to: When it is determined that the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the open state or the hydraulic lifter is in the open state and the duration is greater than the second duration, it is determined that the tractor meets the third condition.

[0096] Preferably, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is turned on, indicating that the tractor is in a hydraulic output state; the hydraulic lifter is turned on, indicating that the tractor is in an implement lifting state.

[0097] The hydraulic output multi-way valve is a key control component in a hydraulic system. It controls the direction and volume of hydraulic oil, thereby driving various hydraulic actuators (such as hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors). When the multi-way valve is open, hydraulic oil can flow along the set path, providing power to external hydraulic equipment (such as the hydraulic drives of various agricultural implements).

[0098] The hydraulic output multi-way valve being in the open state means that the tractor may need to output power to the outside through the hydraulic system to operate external equipment to perform operations, such as controlling the lifting, extension, and other movements of agricultural implements.

[0099] The hydraulic lift is primarily used to raise or lower a load, such as an implement, attached to a tractor. When it is on, the hydraulic system provides hydraulic power to the lift, allowing the implement to be raised to or lowered from the appropriate working position.

[0100] The on state of the hydraulic lifter indicates that the tractor is performing a lifting or lowering operation of the implement, and the hydraulic motor needs to provide sufficient hydraulic power to support this action.

[0101] The second duration refers to the duration that the hydraulic output multi-way valve or hydraulic lifter remains open. This duration is designed to prevent misjudgment of the tractor's operating status due to brief, accidental state changes (such as brief vibration of the multi-way valve or lifter). Only when the open state lasts longer than the second duration does the vehicle controller determine that the tractor has a hydraulic power demand, thus satisfying the third condition.

[0102] The vehicle controller communicates with the sensors of the hydraulic output multi-way valve and hydraulic lifter to obtain their status information (open or closed) in real time.

[0103] When the vehicle controller detects that the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the open state or the hydraulic lifter is in the open state, it starts timing and continuously monitors the status of these two components. If the open state lasts longer than the second duration, the vehicle controller determines that the tractor meets the third condition.

[0104] The vehicle controller 1 (VCU) detects that the third condition ≥ 1 condition is met, and the speed of the hydraulic motor 15 is increased to the set value n high speed.

[0105] Once the tractor determines that the third condition is met, the vehicle controller sends a hydraulic motor speed increase command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the command, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor to increase speed, thereby increasing the output flow of the hydraulic pump. This provides sufficient hydraulic power to the hydraulic output multi-way valve and hydraulic lifter, ensuring smooth hydraulic operation of the tractor.

[0106] Hydraulic Motor Speed Boost State: When the tractor is operating and the vehicle controller detects that one or both of the third conditions are met for a duration greater than the second duration, it sends a hydraulic motor speed boost command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the speed boost signal, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor to execute speed = n high speed. This increases the hydraulic motor speed, driving the working hydraulic pump speed higher, increasing the hydraulic system flow, and thus increasing the output flow of the hydraulic multi-way valve, thereby accelerating the speed at which the hydraulic lifter can lift the implement.

[0107] When the hydraulic motor speed is increased, the vehicle controller detects that all conditions in the third condition are not met. The vehicle controller sends a hydraulic motor idle command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the idle command, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor to execute speed n = n idle, allowing the hydraulic motor to operate at normal speed and the tractor to function normally.

[0108] Specifically, the vehicle controller is also configured to: When it is detected that any one of the following conditions is not met: the throttle opening is equal to zero, the travel motor speed is equal to zero, the power output motor speed is equal to zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the closed state, the hydraulic lifter is in the closed state, and the hydraulic steering gear is in the closed state, a hydraulic motor idle operation command is sent to the hydraulic motor controller, causing the hydraulic motor to enter the idle state.

[0109] The throttle opening reflects the degree of the driver's demand for vehicle power, expressed as a percentage. A throttle opening of zero means that the driver has not stepped on the accelerator pedal and the vehicle has no additional acceleration power demand.

[0110] The travel motor is the motor that drives the tractor, and its speed determines the vehicle's travel speed. A travel motor speed of zero indicates the vehicle is not moving and is at rest, directly reflecting the vehicle's driving state. When the speed is zero, the vehicle is not requiring power for travel, and the primary load of the hydraulic system may no longer be used to drive the vehicle forward or backward.

[0111] The power take-off (PTO) motor is used to power implements or other equipment outside the tractor. Its speed determines the speed of the external equipment. A PTO motor speed of zero means the external equipment is not moving, indicating that the vehicle is not currently providing power to the external equipment through the PTO motor and that the hydraulic system does not need to provide additional hydraulic support for the PTO function.

[0112] The hydraulic output multi-way valve controls the flow of hydraulic oil to various hydraulic actuators, such as hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors. A closed state prevents hydraulic oil from flowing through the valve to external hydraulic equipment. This means no hydraulic output actions, such as tool operation, are occurring. This reflects the hydraulic system's external power output and indicates that the system is not providing hydraulic power to external equipment.

[0113] The hydraulic lift is primarily used to raise or lower loads such as agricultural implements attached to a tractor. The "off" state indicates that the implement is not currently being raised or lowered, reflecting the hydraulic system's working state for lifting the implement. The "off" state indicates that the hydraulic system is not providing power for lifting the implement.

[0114] The hydraulic steering gear controls the tractor's steering, providing power through the hydraulic system. The "off" state indicates the vehicle is not currently steering, reflecting the hydraulic system's steering performance. This means the hydraulic system does not need to provide additional power for steering.

[0115] Here, when it is detected that any one of the following conditions is not met: the throttle opening is zero, the travel motor speed is zero, the power output motor speed is zero, the hydraulic output multi-way valve is in the closed state, the hydraulic lifter is in the closed state, and the hydraulic steering gear is in the closed state, that is, as long as one parameter does not meet all the above conditions, the vehicle controller will consider that the vehicle may be in a state that requires basic power support from the hydraulic system.

[0116] If any parameter mismatch is detected, the vehicle controller sends a hydraulic motor idle command to the hydraulic motor controller. Upon receiving the command, the hydraulic motor controller controls the hydraulic motor to enter idle mode. In idle mode, the hydraulic motor operates at a lower speed, providing sufficient hydraulic power to meet the needs of common tractor functions (such as steering and shifting) while reducing power consumption.

[0117] Specifically, the vehicle controller is also configured to: The first duration, the second duration and the preset idle speed are theoretically calculated based on the performance parameters of the hydraulic motor, the working hydraulic pump, the steering hydraulic pump, the hydraulic lifter, the hydraulic output multi-way valve and the hydraulic steering gear.

[0118] The vehicle controller obtains the performance parameters of the hydraulic motor, working hydraulic pump, steering hydraulic pump, hydraulic lifter, hydraulic output multi-way valve and hydraulic steering gear by connecting with the sensors and communication interfaces of each component.

[0119] First, duration calculation: This involves comprehensively considering the dynamic response characteristics of each component, possible interference factors, and system stability requirements. For example, factors such as hydraulic system inertia, sensor errors, and signal transmission delays are considered. By analyzing historical data and simulating different operating conditions, an appropriate time threshold is determined to avoid misjudgments.

[0120] The second duration calculation is based on the operating characteristics of the hydraulic output multi-way valve and hydraulic lifter, as well as the actual demands of the tractor during operation. For example, the typical duration of implement lifting or hydraulic output operations, combined with the system's response speed, allows for accurate determination of the time when actual hydraulic power demand is present.

[0121] Calculation of the preset idle speed: Based on the minimum flow and pressure required by the hydraulic system at idle, combined with the efficiency characteristics of the working and steering hydraulic pumps, the required speed of the hydraulic motor is calculated. Energy consumption optimization is also considered, and a lower speed is selected while still meeting basic functions.

[0122] The vehicle controller may dynamically adjust and optimize the calculated first duration, second duration, and preset idle speed based on feedback from actual use. For example, if frequent misjudgments are detected, the duration may need to be adjusted; if insufficient hydraulic function or excessive energy consumption is detected at idle, the preset idle speed may need to be adjusted.

[0123] In this application, parameters such as the first duration, the second duration, n idle, and n high speed are theoretically calculated based on the performance parameters of the hydraulic motor, hydraulic transfer case, working hydraulic pump, steering hydraulic pump, hydraulic lifter, hydraulic output multi-way valve, hydraulic steering gear, etc., and are adjusted by engineers according to actual conditions during prototype debugging.

[0124] The control system and control method for an electric tractor provided in the embodiment of the present application include a vehicle controller and a hydraulic motor controller. The vehicle controller plays a core regulatory role. When it detects that the hydraulic motor meets the first condition, it can send a hydraulic motor idle operation command to the hydraulic motor controller; when it detects that the tractor meets the second condition, it can send a hydraulic motor shutdown command; when it detects that the third condition is met, it can send a hydraulic motor speed increase command. The hydraulic motor controller is responsible for receiving and executing corresponding commands to control the hydraulic motor to enter the idle, shutdown or speed increase state. Through this application, the vehicle controller can accurately control the operating state of the hydraulic motor, flexibly start and stop the hydraulic motor according to actual needs, effectively reduce ineffective energy consumption, improve the energy utilization efficiency of the electric tractor, extend its endurance, and at the same time reduce the cost of use, providing a reliable guarantee for the energy-saving and efficient operation of the electric tractor.

[0125] The hydraulic system in this application is driven solely by a hydraulic motor. Controlled by the vehicle controller, the hydraulic motor can achieve stepless speed regulation from zero to maximum speed. This solution allows the vehicle controller to control the operating state of the hydraulic motor under specified conditions. When the hydraulic system is not required, the hydraulic motor is automatically shut down, reducing power consumption and increasing driving time. When a high-flow hydraulic output is required, the hydraulic motor is automatically controlled to increase speed, thereby increasing the hydraulic system's output flow.

[0126] The electric tractor hydraulic system of the present application is provided with an independent hydraulic motor, a hydraulic motor controller, and a vehicle controller VCU, and realizes the automatic adjustment function of the hydraulic system through a control method. The present application pre-sets several automatically controlled hydraulic motor shutdown and speed control conditions, which fully considers various situations in the actual operation of the tractor.

[0127] The electric tractor of this application can achieve intelligent control of the hydraulic system. When the tractor is parked and waiting, the hydraulic motor is automatically controlled to stop, reducing power consumption and increasing driving time. When the load is light, the motor runs at a lower speed, reducing noise and wear of mechanical components, extending the service life of various hydraulic system components, and reducing maintenance costs. The hydraulic system can also achieve intelligent control. When high-flow hydraulic output or tool lifting is required, the hydraulic motor is automatically controlled to increase speed, increasing the output flow of the hydraulic pump and improving hydraulic system performance.
