[0002] Wide-body mining dump trucks operate under heavy loads for extended periods in mining areas, facing complex and harsh road conditions, including long, continuous downhill descents and frequent following traffic, which require constant braking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] 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. It should be understood that the drawings in the present application only serve the purpose of illustration and description and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present application. In addition, it should be understood that the schematic drawings are not drawn to scale.

In addition, those skilled in the art, under the guidance of the contents of this application, can add one or more other operations to the flowchart, or remove one or more operations from the flowchart.

[0021] In addition, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein 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 claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] The method, device, electronic equipment or computer readable storage medium provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to any scene requiring vehicle auxiliary braking, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific application scene. Any solution using the control method and device for vehicle auxiliary braking provided in the embodiments of the present application is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] It is worth noting that in the mine operation condition, the wide-body mine dump truck is in a long-term heavy-load running state, and at the same time faces complex and harsh road conditions, including continuous long downhill, frequent following driving and other special working conditions requiring continuous braking. This high-load running mode causes the temperature of the hub brake system to rise sharply, which on the one hand causes the braking efficiency to decrease significantly, affecting the driving safety, and on the other hand causes abnormal wear of key components such as tires and brake pads, which not only greatly increases the maintenance cost and reduces the attendance rate. The currently used brake auxiliary system assists braking. However, during operation, the brake auxiliary system needs to be manually started by the driver, which has high requirements for the working condition judgment ability and operation proficiency of the operator, and the auxiliary braking system cannot intervene in time. In addition, the multiple brake devices in the brake auxiliary system cannot synchronously assist braking, and the braking efficiency is reduced.

[0024] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method and device for vehicle auxiliary braking, which reduces the driving risk, operation cost and intervention frequency of the auxiliary braking system, and improves the driving comfort.

[0025] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the technical solutions provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 One of the flowcharts of the control method for vehicle auxiliary braking provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] In the present application, the multiple brake devices in the brake auxiliary system include the retarder of the vehicle and the engine cylinder of the vehicle. The existing solution is to separately open the engine cylinder brake and the retarder brake.

[0028] As Figure 1As shown in the method for controlling vehicle auxiliary braking provided in the embodiments of the present application, the method comprises the following steps: Step S101, determining whether the brake auxiliary switch signal of the vehicle is an open signal.

[0029] Here, the brake auxiliary switch is provided on the vehicle, and the open / close state of the brake auxiliary switch is selected according to the road condition and the intention of the driver.

[0030] Step S102, if the brake auxiliary switch signal is a closed signal, controlling the operation of the retarder of the vehicle based on the retarder gear signal of the vehicle.

[0031] Here, when the brake auxiliary switch signal is a closed signal, the auxiliary braking is activated manually by the driver. The retarder gear signal of the vehicle is the gear selected manually by the driver, and each gear corresponds to a different torque of the retarder. According to the gear selected manually by the driver, the retarder of the vehicle is controlled to operate at the selected gear.

[0032] Step S103, if the brake auxiliary switch signal is an open signal, determining whether to control the operation of the engine cylinder of the vehicle based on the brake signal of the vehicle, and determining whether to control the operation of the retarder of the vehicle based on the retarder handle signal of the vehicle.

[0033] Here, the brake signal is generated by stepping on the brake pedal.

[0034] The following will be described in combination with Figure 2 to illustrate how to determine whether to control the operation of the engine cylinder of the vehicle based on the brake signal of the vehicle.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 for the flowchart two of the method for controlling vehicle auxiliary braking provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown in the embodiments of the present application, as to the determination of whether to control the operation of the engine cylinder of the vehicle based on the brake signal of the vehicle in step S103, in the specific implementation, as an example, the following steps can be included: Step S10311, when receiving the brake signal of the vehicle, determining whether the vehicle speed is greater than a preset vehicle speed threshold and the engine speed of the vehicle is greater than a preset speed threshold.

[0037] Here, as an example, the preset vehicle speed threshold is 15km / h, and the preset engine speed threshold is 1000rpm. It should be noted that the preset vehicle speed threshold and the preset engine speed threshold are determined by the neural network collecting the driving habits of the driver. Specifically, by collecting multi-dimensional data such as engine speed and vehicle speed in real time, a driver behavior feature model is constructed. After obtaining the driver's commonly used vehicle speed of 15km / h and engine speed of 1000rpm through big data, the system automatically optimizes the control logic to dynamically adjust the preset vehicle speed threshold and the preset engine speed threshold, and realizes the intelligent intervention of auxiliary braking. Through the preset vehicle speed threshold and the preset engine speed threshold, unnecessary intervention of the vehicle retarder auxiliary braking and the engine cylinder auxiliary braking under the flat road driving condition can be avoided.

[0038] Step S10312, if the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold and the engine speed is greater than the preset engine speed threshold, the engine cylinder of the vehicle is controlled to operate.

[0039] Here, when the vehicle speed is not greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold or the engine speed is not greater than the preset engine speed threshold, the operation of the retarder is stopped.

[0040] Step S10313, if the vehicle speed is not greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold or the engine speed is not greater than the preset engine speed threshold, the closed state of the engine cylinder is maintained.

[0041] Next, how to determine whether to control the engine cylinder of the vehicle to operate based on the brake signal of the vehicle will be described in conjunction with Figure 3

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 for the third flowchart of the control method of the vehicle auxiliary braking provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0043] As shown in the foregoing Figure 3 , regarding the determination of whether to control the retarder to operate based on the retarder handle signal of the vehicle in step S103, in specific implementation, as an example, the following steps can be included: Step S10321, when the retarder handle signal of the vehicle is a closed signal, the retarder of the vehicle is controlled to operate based on the retarder gear signal of the vehicle.

[0044] Here, when the brake auxiliary switch signal is an open signal and the retarder handle signal is a closed signal, the auxiliary braking is activated manually by the driver.

[0045] Step S10322, when the retarder handle signal of the vehicle is an open signal and the brake signal of the vehicle is received, it is determined whether the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold and the engine speed of the vehicle is greater than the preset engine speed threshold.

[0046] ​Step S10323, if the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold and the engine speed is greater than the preset engine speed threshold, determining whether to control the retarder to operate based on the coolant temperature in the retarder.

[0047] Step S10324, if the vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed threshold and the engine speed is greater than the preset engine speed threshold, keeping the retarder in the closed state.

[0048] The following Figure 4 will illustrate how to determine whether to control the engine cylinder of the vehicle to operate based on the brake signal of the vehicle.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 for the fourth flowchart of the control method of the vehicle auxiliary braking provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] As Figure 4 shown in the foregoing embodiments, regarding the determination whether to control the retarder to operate based on the coolant temperature in the retarder in step S10323, in specific implementation, as an example, the following steps can be included: Step S103231, determining whether the coolant temperature in the retarder is greater than a first preset temperature threshold.

[0051] Step S103232, if the coolant temperature is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, keeping the retarder in the closed state.

[0052] Here, as an example, the first preset temperature threshold is 100℃.

[0053] Step S103233, if the coolant temperature is not greater than the first preset temperature threshold, determining the retarder torque corresponding to the preset temperature interval to which the coolant temperature belongs.

[0054] Here, each preset temperature interval corresponds to a retarder torque. By monitoring the coolant temperature in real time, the retarder torque output is dynamically adjusted in different preset temperature intervals, so as to avoid that the coolant temperature is too high and the retarder is stepped limited torque, and the closed-loop control of the coolant temperature is realized. As an example, when the coolant temperature is in the interval of (-∞, 85℃], the corresponding retarder torque is the rated torque, when the coolant temperature is in the interval of (85℃, 90℃], the corresponding retarder torque is 80% of the rated torque, when the coolant temperature is in the interval of (90℃, 95℃], the corresponding retarder torque is 50% of the rated torque, and when the coolant temperature is in the interval of (95℃, 100℃], the corresponding retarder torque is 20% of the rated torque.

[0055] Step S10324, controlling the retarder to operate based on the retarder torque.

[0056] Here, when the vehicle speed is not greater than a preset vehicle speed threshold or the engine speed is not greater than a preset engine speed threshold, the retarder operation is stopped.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 The fifth flowchart of the control method of the vehicle auxiliary braking provided by the embodiment of the application.

[0058] As Figure 5 indicated in the foregoing embodiment, after step S101, the control method further comprises: Step S201, if the brake auxiliary switch signal is an opening signal, determining whether the coolant temperature is greater than a second preset temperature threshold.

[0059] Here, as an example, the second preset temperature threshold is 85℃.

[0060] Step S202, if the coolant temperature is greater than the first preset temperature threshold, keeping the fan of the vehicle in a closed state.

[0061] Step S203, if the coolant temperature is not greater than the second preset temperature threshold, determining the fan speed corresponding to the preset temperature interval to which the coolant temperature belongs.

[0062] Here, each preset temperature interval corresponds to a fan speed. By monitoring the coolant temperature in real time, the fan speed output is dynamically adjusted in different preset temperature intervals, realizing the step control of the electronic fan, saving energy consumption, and avoiding damage caused by frequent opening of the fan. As an example, when the coolant temperature is in the interval (85℃, 90℃], the corresponding fan speed is 20% of the rated speed, when the coolant temperature is in the interval (90℃, 95℃], the corresponding fan speed is 50% of the rated speed, when the coolant temperature is in the interval (95℃, 100℃], the corresponding fan speed is 80% of the rated speed, and when the coolant temperature is in the interval (100℃, +∞), the corresponding fan speed is the rated speed.

[0063] Step S204, based on the fan speed, controlling the fan to operate to cool the retarder.

[0064] Here, to prevent the risk of auxiliary braking failure caused by the water temperature being too high due to the retarder being opened for a long time, the fan is controlled to cool the retarder.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the accurate intervention of the auxiliary braking system is realized by analyzing the driver's braking intention in real time and comprehensively considering the vehicle operating state parameters. At the same time, the fan operating state is dynamically adjusted through the closed-loop control mechanism of the coolant temperature to ensure the balance between the heat dissipation efficiency and the energy consumption, so as to reduce the driving risk and save the operating cost. Meanwhile, the vehicle speed and engine speed conditions for setting the intervention and exit of the transmission cylinder braking and the retarder braking are set to reduce the intervention frequency of the auxiliary braking and improve the driving comfort.

[0066] The control method for vehicle auxiliary braking provided in the embodiment of the present application reduces the driving risk, the operating cost and the intervention frequency of the auxiliary braking system, and improves the driving comfort.
