Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mine cars, in particular to a charging and replacing integrated pure electric driving underground trackless mine car. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, there are mainly several structural forms of underground trackless mine cars:

[0003] First, in the power transmission of the traditional underground trackless mine car, the diesel engine is used as the power source to drive the hydraulic torque converter, the hydraulic torque converter transmits power to the gearbox through the transmission shaft, the gearbox outputs through double shafts, and then transmits to the front and rear drive axles through the front and rear transmission shafts, thereby driving the whole vehicle to run; at the same time, the hydraulic torque converter is directly coupled to the transfer case to distribute the power of the diesel engine to the hydraulic system to realize the functions of turning and lifting the whole vehicle. The main shortcomings of diesel underground mine cars are high energy consumption, large noise of diesel engine, and high maintenance cost, mainly because the diesel engine, gearbox and front and rear drive axles are dependent on imports, and the procurement cost and procurement cycle of related spare parts are long during major maintenance.

[0004] Second, the structural form of electric wheel drive, from the structure and cost point of view, integrates the motor, reducer, brake and other components in the wheel, the structure is compact and complex, which requires high manufacturing process, greatly increases the initial research and development and production cost; and once a fault occurs, the maintenance is difficult, not only the maintenance cycle is long, but also the replacement cost of parts is high, which increases the life cycle cost of the equipment; at the same time, it is not conducive to heat dissipation in the narrow and closed space of the underground roadway, which affects the working efficiency and service life of the brake and motor.

[0005] Third, the structural form of pure electric driving whole vehicle frame line, which is mainly composed of a contact netting erected above the roadway, a pantograph on the top of the vehicle, a vehicle-mounted electrical control system and a traction system. The contact netting obtains electric energy from the ground substation through high-voltage cable and transmits it to the underground, and the pantograph slides with the contact netting to introduce electric energy into the vehicle. After being adjusted by the electrical control system, the electric energy drives the traction motor to run, and then transmits power to the drive axle through the transmission device to realize the running of the whole vehicle. Its shortcomings are that a large amount of contact netting needs to be laid in the underground, the initial construction cost is high, and the line maintenance and repair are difficult in the later period; the vehicle driving route completely depends on the layout of the line, which is difficult to adjust flexibly and cannot adapt to the complex and variable roadway environment; the contact netting is in the damp and dusty underground environment for a long time, which is prone to insulation aging and wire breakage, threatening the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0074] The whole vehicle provides two energy supplement modes: charging mode and battery replacement mode. The charging mode directly supplements the electric energy of the vehicle by connecting the power supply, which is suitable for scenarios with moderate endurance requirements, low-intensity operation, or intermittent operation, and convenient charging facility deployment. The advantage is that there is no need to reserve a backup battery, which reduces the initial equipment procurement cost, and the charging facility can be arranged in a fixed position in the mine, occupying a small space. The battery replacement mode is suitable for scenarios with high continuity requirements for operation and large mine scale, and the charging time is limited. The advantage is that the battery replacement time is short (usually 5-10 minutes), which can realize "replacement and walking", and greatly improve the equipment utilization rate. In the battery replacement mode, the battery can be uniformly recycled to the ground charging station for deep maintenance through equalization charging and temperature control to prolong the service life.

[0075] As shown in Figure 16 , in the charging mode: the external power supply supplements the power battery through two charging sockets, the BMS controls the pre-charging resistor to pre-charge the system capacitor to prevent damage to circuit components caused by large current impact, and then continuously charges until it is full.

[0076] As shown in Figure 16 , in the battery replacement mode: the entire power battery replacement module is hoisted to the designated power supplement position, and then the full-power power battery replacement module is hoisted to the designated position of the vehicle. The full-power power battery replacement module supplies power to the whole vehicle through the battery replacement connector, and the discharged power battery replacement module is connected to the two charging sockets through the external power supply to supplement the power battery.

[0077] As shown in Figure 14 , the power assembly 9 includes a traction motor 91 and a reducer 92, the traction motor 91 is arranged above the reducer 92, the output shaft of the traction motor 91 faces downward and is connected with the input shaft 921 of the reducer 92 through a spline, the traction motor 91 is installed in a vertical manner and is installed on the first reducer 92 through a flange plate, the torque of the traction motor 91 and the reducer 92 is longitudinally coupled, and the output of the reducer 92 is transverse. In the traction working condition, the power supply supplies power to the traction motor 91 through the traction controller, the traction motor 91 drives the reducer 92 to transmit the traction power to the original vehicle mechanical drive axle through the front axle and the rear axle to drive the whole vehicle to run; in the electric braking working condition, the traction motor 91 works in the generator state, converts the kinetic energy into electric energy, and then returns to the power supply through the traction controller and the high-voltage tank, thereby improving the energy utilization rate.

[0078] As shown in Figure 14 , 15As shown, the reducer 92 is provided with a transmission shaft 929, the input shaft of the reducer 92 is longitudinally arranged with the transmission shaft 929, the output shaft of the reducer 92 is transversely arranged, and the input shaft 921 of the reducer 92 is perpendicular to the output shaft 927. The input shaft 921 of the reducer 92 is provided with a first gear 922 and a second gear 923, the transmission shaft 929 of the reducer 92 is provided with a third gear 924 and a first bevel gear 925, and the output shaft 927 of the reducer 92 is provided with a second bevel gear 926.

The first bevel gear 925 is engaged with the second bevel gear 926, the first bevel gear 925 is a pinion, the second bevel gear 926 is a gear, the power is further reduced and the rotation direction is changed through the engagement of the first bevel gear 925 and the second bevel gear 926, and finally the power is output through the output shaft 927 of the reducer 92. The second gear 923 is engaged with the oil pump gear 928, and the oil pump 94 is driven after one-stage speed reduction. The oil pressure established by the oil pump 94 lubricates and cools the reducer 92.

[0079] As shown in the figure, Figure 14 The traction motor 91 is an explosion-proof permanent magnet synchronous traction motor 91, which can be applied to environments with high dust, flammable and explosive gases, and relatively closed spaces. The traction motor 91 includes a housing, devices arranged in the housing, and a junction box arranged outside the housing. The housing is provided with a water cooling channel connected with a cooling system. The water cooling system has high heat exchange coefficient, can maintain high efficiency of the motor, and the power density is improved to more than 5kW / kg. The system can precisely control the temperature, avoid demagnetization of the permanent magnet, and prolong the insulation life. The system has high cooling efficiency, compact structure, and saves installation space. The system is adaptable to high load conditions and stable heat dissipation. The system also reduces noise, reduces the number of fan components, and is easy to maintain. The system has long service life, balances high performance and reliability, and has high rotation speed and large torque. The maximum rotation speed of the motor can reach 5000rpm, and the maximum torque can reach 2600Nm. The high rotation speed and large torque configuration of the traction motor 91 can reduce the size and weight of the motor, optimize the transmission ratio, make the structure more compact, reduce the efficiency loss of the reducer 92, and improve the dynamic response sensitivity. The system also reduces the material consumption and processing difficulty of the reducer 92, reduces the cost, improves the reliability, prolongs the service life, reduces the heat generation of the reducer 92, simplifies the cooling system, and prolongs the maintenance period.

[0080] As shown in the figure, Figure 14 , 15As shown, the output shaft of the reducer 92 includes a front axle located on one side of the second bevel gear 926 and a rear axle located on the other side of the second bevel gear 926. The front axle drives the front axle of the mining car, and the rear axle drives the rear axle of the mining car. A condenser 93 is provided on the outer wall of the reducer 92. The oil pump 94 is connected to the condenser 93. The internal water cooling of the traction motor 91 is connected to the condenser 93 via a water pipe. The condenser 93 is connected to the cooling system. The reducer 92 has its own lubricating oil pump 94 and condenser 93, resulting in a compact system design and high cooling efficiency. A groove is provided on one side of the reducer 92's outer casing. The reducer 92 has an upper space, a middle space, and a lower space. The first gear 922, the second gear 923, the oil pump gear, and the oil pump are located in the upper space. One end of the oil pump 94 extends into the groove and is connected to an oil pipe. The front axle of the reducer 92 extends out of the groove.

[0081] The cooling system includes a battery thermal management system, a motor electronic control cooling system, and an air conditioning system.

[0082] like Figure 17 As shown, the battery thermal management system is integrated within the battery swapping module assembly. It includes a compressor, condenser, electronic expansion valve, low-temperature radiator, plate heat exchanger, PTC heater, first water pump, and expansion tank. The refrigerant output from the compressor passes through the condenser, electronic expansion valve, and plate heat exchanger sequentially before returning to the compressor input. The cooling water output from the first water pump passes through a three-way valve, plate heat exchanger, PTC heater, and power battery sequentially before returning to the first water pump input. The cooling water output from the first water pump also passes through a three-way valve, low-temperature radiator, and power battery sequentially before returning to the first water pump input.

[0083] Cooling mode: The refrigerant is cooled using the principle of compression refrigeration. After being connected to the coolant circuit, the coolant is cooled through a plate heat exchanger. The first water pump drives the coolant circulation to cool the power battery, so as to effectively deal with problems such as excessive temperature rise caused by high temperature environment or charging and discharging.

[0084] Heating mode: A pipeline PTC heater is connected in series in the power battery water circuit. After the BMS sends a heating command, the heater is turned on directly through the control system. The PTC heating element in the pipeline starts to heat up. When the antifreeze flows through the heater, it is heated. At this time, the compressor cooling circuit stops working.

[0085] Self-circulation mode: The compressor does not start, and the electric water pump drives the coolant circulation to meet the battery cooling needs under low heat load conditions.

[0086] Control strategy: the controller CAN communication is connected with the BMS, receives and analyzes the BMS message, controls the compressor according to the analyzed parameters and the built-in control strategy, controls the speed of the fan and the water pump through PWM communication to automatically adjust the output power, and uploads the controller state to the BMS to meet the battery thermal management demand.

[0087] As shown in Figure 18 The motor electric control cooling system includes a second water pump, a third water pump, an expansion water tank and a radiator. The cooling water at the output end of the second water pump is connected with the input end of the three-in-one auxiliary controller and the auxiliary motor assembly through a first three-way joint. The output end of the three-in-one auxiliary controller and the auxiliary motor assembly is connected with the first input end of the radiator through a second three-way joint. The first output end of the radiator is connected with the input end of the second water pump. The output end of the third water pump is connected with the second input end of the radiator through a power assembly. The second output end of the radiator is connected with the input end of the third water pump.

[0088] The cooling system is controlled by the temperature of the motor electric control:

[0089] A. When the temperature of the controller is 45℃, the fan starts to work, and the initial speed of the fan is 30% of the full speed. When the temperature of the motor controller is 49℃, the fan runs at full speed. There are at least 5 levels of speed regulation between 45℃ and 49℃.

[0090] B. When the temperature of the motor is 70℃, the fan starts to work, and the initial speed of the fan is 30% of the full speed. When the temperature of the motor is 100℃, the fan runs at full speed. There are at least 10 levels of speed regulation between 70℃ and 100℃. (Speed regulation method: linear smooth speed regulation, stepless speed regulation, speed (30%-100%))

[0091] C. When the temperature of the motor is lower than 68℃ and the temperature of the motor controller is lower than 43℃, the fan of the motor and the motor controller stops working.

[0092] D. When the CAN signal of the motor and the motor controller is lost (with high voltage signal), the fan runs at 100% speed.

[0093] As shown in Figure 19As shown, the power swap module assembly is internally integrated with an automatic fire extinguishing system, which includes a fire extinguishing agent tank, a four-in-one detector, a fire detection tube, a solenoid valve, atomizing nozzles corresponding to each power battery pack, and a fire extinguishing controller. Smoke, high temperature, H2, and CO generated by a fire in the power battery pack will trigger the four-in-one detector. After the detector is triggered, it will feed back to the fire extinguishing controller, which will feed back to the VCU. The VCU will issue a fire alarm in the cab and cut off the high voltage of the vehicle at the same time. The fire extinguishing controller will send an electrical signal to the solenoid valve at the same time, and the atomizing nozzles will spray fire extinguishing agent for fire extinguishing and cooling. When the driver discovers a fire in the power battery box, but the alarm does not sound, the fire extinguishing switch in the cab can be pressed to extinguish the fire. If a fire occurs and the solenoid valve does not act due to a fault, the atomizing nozzles cannot spray fire extinguishing agent. When the fire spreads to the fire detection tube, the fire detection tube will crack due to high temperature, and the cracked part will spray fire extinguishing agent to extinguish the flame and diffuse to the entire power battery box to cool and isolate the fire.
