Powered by battery systems or mains electricity, it can also greatly reduce noise pollution, which is in line with the upcoming new energy trend. Existing crawler cranes are mostly fuel crawler cranes, which have the problems of high fuel consumption costs, high pollution, and extremely loud noise when working.
[0003] Existing pure electric control systems lack intelligent multi-mode switching and energy management capabilities, making them difficult to adapt to complex operating conditions. Current fuel-powered crawler cranes face three major pain points: ① Diesel consumption accounts for over 45% of operating costs; ② NOx emissions exceed standards; and ③ Operating noise exceeds 85dB. While attempts at electrification exist, common issues include the inability to simultaneously charge and operate, battery performance plummets in low-temperature environments, and energy recovery efficiency below 15%.

[0008] In the above structure, when the AC power connection interface is connected and meets the safety standards, the control unit starts the towing operation mode, and the AC power drives the motor through the integration unit. In the towing operation mode, if the battery power is lower than the threshold and the AC power is redundant, the operation charging mode is synchronously started to charge the battery.

[0023] This invention enables automated intelligent control. While the equipment is operating, the control unit flexibly switches between different modes based on operating conditions and equipment availability, improving control accuracy while ensuring optimal efficiency. After the equipment completes its operation, when the vehicle enters either mains or DC charging mode, the control unit protects the battery system from charging errors. This fully automated and intelligent charging process requires no human oversight. The charging protection function disconnects the battery system immediately when fully charged, preventing overcharging and energy waste. It also enables intelligent switching between five operating modes to accommodate complex operating conditions.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control unit intelligently switches between five operating modes: towing mode, operating charging mode, battery mode, mains charging mode, and DC charging mode. In battery mode, the control unit 4 calculates the remaining operating time T in real time: (current SOC minus safety threshold) / instantaneous power consumption. If T is less than 15 minutes, a mains connection warning is issued via the control panel. If mains power is not connected, the hydraulic pump output power is reduced in stages until the system shuts down.
[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the integration unit integrates the OBC on-board charger, the PDU power distribution unit, the AC-DC rectifier module and the DC-DC conversion module.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the mains connection interface 6 is connected and meets safety standards, the control unit 4 starts the towing operation mode, and the mains drives the motor 9 through the integration unit 3. In the towing operation mode, if the battery power is lower than the threshold and the mains power is redundant, the operation charging mode is started synchronously to charge the battery. When the mains is not connected and the battery power meets the working conditions, the control unit 4 starts the battery operation mode, and the battery drives the motor 9 through the integration unit 3. When the equipment is shut down and the mains is connected, the mains charging mode is started to charge the battery. When the DC charging port 7 is connected to the power supply, the control unit 4 starts the DC charging mode to directly charge the battery.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the integration unit 3 is an integrated unit cabinet that integrates the OBC vehicle charging system, the PDU power distribution unit, the AC-DC rectifier module and the DC-DC conversion module.
[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the OBC can select an OBC multi-machine parallel scheme based on the remaining power of the battery system 1 and the size of the load demand, and automatically allocate the master and slave machines through CAN communication without making physical distinctions. The PDU can intelligently allocate the output power of each machine to ensure that the charging and discharging efficiency is maximized.
[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the DC charging port 7 can be directly connected to a DC power source to directly charge the battery system 1 and has functions such as communication diagnosis and connection detection. DC charging has the advantages of high power and fast charging, which can reduce the charging waiting time. It is suitable for urgent use and inconvenient towing operations and other working conditions. The DC charging port 7 is connected to the on-board battery system 1 through a central rotary joint for charging.
[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control unit 4 obtains all information such as the status of the DC charging port 7 and the mains connection interface 6, the power information of the battery system 1, the working status of the integration unit 3, the current required power and actual power of the motor 9, etc. After obtaining the information, it performs intelligent judgment processing, calculates the data and selects the optimal solution after considering all situations, and returns the result to each part in the form of a control signal. The vehicle is controlled by the signal to make adjustments so as to automatically and flexibly select and switch the working state. The control unit 4 is the core part of the pure electric control device of the electric crawler crane.
[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the operating charging mode or the AC charging mode, the control unit 4 monitors the 4 battery SOC status in real time. When the SOC reaches 100%, it automatically cuts off the charging circuit and maintains the 4 towing operation mode, generates an overcharge protection log and transmits it to the control screen through the 4CAN bus.
[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the OBC module supports a multi-machine parallel topology. Based on the master-slave automatic allocation mechanism of the CAN communication, the PDU module dynamically adjusts the output power of each machine according to the load demand to ensure that the charging and discharging efficiency is maximized.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the OBC module supports parallel operation of multiple machines, automatically assigns master and slave roles through CAN communication, and the PDU module intelligently allocates output power according to load demand to maximize charging and discharging efficiency.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the TMS constant temperature system 2 includes a distributed temperature sensor network, a bidirectional PTC heating / liquid cooling circulation module, and a temperature difference compensation algorithm activated under extreme working conditions.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the ambient storage temperature of the battery system 1 is -35°C to 65°C. When stored for a long time, the ambient temperature should be controlled below 35°C, the operating temperature of the battery system 1 should be controlled between -35°C and 65°C, and the charging temperature should be controlled between 0°C and 65°C. However, when the vehicle enters extreme weather conditions, the temperature does not meet the requirements. At this time, the TMS constant temperature system 2 will protect the battery and maintain the battery temperature at the required temperature.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the AC power connection interface 6 is provided with a connection status detection circuit, an overvoltage / undervoltage protection relay, and a quick plug-in mechanism. The waterproof grade of the quick plug-in mechanism is IP68. The AC power connection interface 6 can be connected to the AC power for towing operations or charge the battery system 1 through the integration unit 3 and tow operations or charge the battery system 1 alone.
[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the AC power connection interface 6 can be connected to the AC power for towing operations or charge the battery system 1 through the integration unit 3 and tow operations or charge the battery system 1 alone. At the same time, the interface also has connection detection, safety protection and other functions. In order to facilitate the vehicle to perform operations such as rotation and walking, the AC power connection interface 6 is set at the lower track and is connected to the upper integration unit 3 through the central rotary joint, so that it can better adapt to smaller terrain during towing operations and perform complex movements.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the battery system 1 adopts a modular independent unit design, and realizes self-diagnosis and fault feedback through the BMS battery management module. The battery system 1 supports CAN bus communication, is compatible with multiple voltage platforms, and is equipped with a quick-release interface for easy replacement and maintenance.
[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the BMS system (battery management system) in the battery system 1 has a capacity of 200.54Kwh, and the charging and discharging rate reaches 0.6c, which fully meets the vehicle's working time of 4-8 hours in battery operation mode. The battery system 1 is an independent module, adopts CANBUS communication connection, and is equipped with a BMS (battery management system), which is convenient for system management, self-diagnosis and fault feedback, etc. At the same time, it can adapt to various types of voltage platforms, and is convenient for use with other components such as the integration unit 3 and the motor 9.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the motor 9 is a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The motor 9 is converted into a generator mode during the heavy object lowering operation to reversely charge the battery system 1. The constant torque output range of the motor 9 covers the speed range of 0-3000rpm, and the energy recovery efficiency of the motor 9 is ≥23%.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the motor 9 is the power source of the equipment, and has characteristics such as constant torque and high speed. When the motor 9 is working, it drives the hydraulic system 10 to perform various actions of the equipment. When the motor 9 is not working, it reversely charges the battery to achieve energy recovery.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the integrated cooling system 5 includes a three-channel independent cooling circuit, a control module for a variable frequency fan based on temperature gradient prediction, a dynamic cooling power allocation algorithm, a three-channel independent cooling circuit integrated hydraulic system, an integration unit and a motor cooling channel.
[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the integrated cooling system 5 is operating, the hydraulic system, the integration unit 3 and the motor 9 will generate a large amount of heat, and the temperature will rise sharply. At this time, the integrated cooling system 5 reads the temperature signals of the hydraulic system, the integration unit 3 and the motor 9 through the control unit 4, intelligently judges the temperature and runs the system to cool down the hydraulic system, the integration unit 3 and the motor 9. The integrated cooling system 5 has a high degree of integration, is easy to install and debug, and intelligently allocates the cooling conditions of each system.
[0054] A control method for a pure electric control device of a crawler crane, the control method specifically comprising the steps of:
[0055] S1: Detect the mains connection status and the battery SOC when power is turned on, and display them on the control screen;
[0056] S2: During operation, the battery power level is compared with the working requirement threshold in real time, and the working mode is selected and automatically switched to any one of the working modes, namely, the towing operation mode, the working charging mode, the battery operation mode, the mains charging mode, and the DC charging mode, according to the working condition requirements;
[0057] S3: Real-time monitoring of temperature, power and SOC parameters during operation;
[0058] S4: Dynamically switch the working mode based on a multi-objective optimization algorithm;
[0059] S5: When charging is completed, the charging protection mechanism is automatically activated until charging is completed, power-off protection is automatically executed, and an operation report is generated.
[0060] Example 2
[0061] An example of a mode switching scenario of the present invention: after the crane is connected to a 380V mains power supply at the construction site, the control unit automatically enters the towing operation mode (SOC=65%). During the hoisting operation, it detects a mains power redundancy of 200kW, and the operation charging mode is started synchronously. After 2 hours, the SOC reaches 95%, and charging automatically stops (maintaining the towing operation). In the event of a sudden mains power outage, it switches to the battery operation mode within 0.5 seconds. After the operation is completed without disconnecting the mains power, it automatically switches to the mains charging mode until the SOC=100%. Response to extreme working conditions: When the ambient temperature is -28°C, the TMS system starts PTC heating to maintain the electrolyte temperature >0°C. When the hydraulic system overheats, the integrated cooling system distributes 70% of the air volume to the hydraulic circuit.
[0062] Specifically, the working principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0063] During use of the present invention, when the electric crawler crane vehicle is powered on before starting, the control unit 4 obtains the current connection status of the mains connection interface 6 and the power information of the battery system 1, and transmits them to the control panel, so that the driver can fully understand the current vehicle status before performing operations and prepare for entering the working state. At the same time, it is convenient to flexibly control the vehicle to enter different modes.
[0064] When the mains connection interface 6 is connected to the mains and meets the required standards, the control unit 4 controls the vehicle to directly enter the towing mode, where the mains power is supplied to the motor 9 via the integration unit 3, driving the hydraulic pump 10. Simultaneously, the control unit 4 automatically detects the battery system 1 charge level and the motor 9 output power. If the battery system 1 charge level does not meet the battery operation mode requirements, and the motor 9 output power still has surplus power to meet the towing operation requirements, the vehicle enters the working charging mode. In this mode, the mains power is used to drive the motor 9 via the integration unit 3, driving the hydraulic pump 10 while simultaneously charging the battery system 1. In this mode, when the battery system 1 is fully charged, the control unit 4 receives the battery system 1 charge level information and immediately automatically controls the battery system 1 to disconnect charging to protect the battery system 1 from overcharging. The vehicle then exits the working charging mode and returns to the towing mode, where the mains power continues to supply the motor 9 via the integration unit 3, with the motor 9 only driving the hydraulic pump 10. If the mains connection interface 6 fails to meet safety standards during towing, the connection detection and safety protection functions of the mains connection interface 6 will send a signal to the control unit 4, warning the driver to immediately suspend the operation and disembark for inspection and rectification.
[0065] When the towing operation is complete and the vehicle is turned off, if the mains connection remains connected, control unit 4 will again determine based on the collected information from battery system 1: if battery system 1 is low, it will be charged solely using the mains power through integration unit 3, and the vehicle will enter mains charging mode. In this mode, there is no need to wait for the mains connection to be disconnected. The control unit 4 intelligently detects in real time and automatically disconnects the mains when the battery system 1 is fully charged, thus protecting the battery system 1 and preventing continued energy waste without disconnecting the mains connection interface 6.
[0066] If the mains connection port 6 is not connected to the mains, the control unit 4 checks the battery system 1 charge level. If the current battery system 1 charge level meets the battery operation mode requirements, the vehicle enters the battery operation mode. In battery operation mode, the battery system 1 connects to the motor 9 via the integration unit 3 to drive the hydraulic pump 10. During operation, the control unit 4 continuously reads the battery system 1 charge level information and compares it with the vehicle's operating status information in real time. If the battery system 1 charge level does not meet the battery operation mode requirements, the control unit 4 immediately notifies the driver via the control screen to connect the mains connection port 6 to the mains to enter the towing operation mode or the working charging mode.
[0067] When the work location is inconvenient or even does not support towing operations, a portable DC power supply can be used to directly charge the battery system 1 through the DC charging port 7. This charging process is very efficient, can save charging time, and improve work efficiency.
[0068] The pure electric control device for an electric crawler crane in this application features five modes: towing operation mode, operation charging mode, battery operation mode, mains charging mode, and DC charging mode. These five modes are controlled by a control unit using real-time detection and signal transmission, offering advantages such as accurate judgment, stable control, flexible switching, and timely display. This ensures sufficient vehicle power, enabling smooth operation and adaptability to a variety of complex operating conditions. This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies through multi-module collaborative control, while also prioritizing energy conservation and pollution reduction, in line with future national trends.
