Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of mining machinery and equipment, and particularly relates to a new energy mining truck heat collection system and heat collection method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, mining trucks are gradually being upgraded to new energy mining trucks that primarily utilize new energy sources for propulsion. Some are even operating as driverless new energy mining trucks for transporting mining materials. This reduces operating and maintenance costs for mining production and saves significant human and material resources.

[0003] In open-pit mine environments, mining trucks need to adapt to material transport operations under extremely cold conditions. Due to the low temperatures, the inner walls of the truck bed floor and front panel easily freeze and adhere to moisture-containing materials (such as stripped soil, silt, etc.), causing material residue (the residue rate can reach 15-20% of the total loaded material mass), increased vehicle weight, reduced unloading efficiency, and truck bed corrosion. To address these issues, existing technologies employ various de-icing and anti-icing methods. For fuel-powered mining trucks, the engine's heat and the generated high-temperature exhaust gases are used to heat the truck bed; for new energy (pure electric or range-extended) mining trucks, battery-powered PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor heaters are typically used for heating the truck bed; and chemical coatings or mechanical cleaning are also used for anti-icing treatment.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned solutions still have many drawbacks for new energy mining trucks: such as high power consumption, resulting in significant range reduction; continuous heating, leading to heat energy waste; and the use of chemical coatings or mechanical de-icing, resulting in increased maintenance and time costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a heat collection system for new energy mining trucks that can solve the above-mentioned problems and form an efficient, energy-saving, and low-cost solution for de-icing and anti-icing of the truck body.

[0061] This invention proposes a heat collection system and method for new energy mining trucks, which solves the problems of high power consumption, heat waste, and high maintenance and time costs in the process of de-icing and anti-icing of new energy mining trucks.

[0062] Device Examples

[0063] Please refer to the attached document. Figures 1-4 The contents shown are for better understanding of the specific structure of the present invention. One specific embodiment of the present invention discloses a new energy mining truck heat collection system, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0064] The electric drive system heat collection unit 1 is used to collect the heat energy generated by the electric drive system of the mining truck. Specifically, the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 mainly collects, but is not limited to, the waste heat generated by the drive motor 7, MCU8 (Microcontroller Unit), and DC / DC converter 9 (a DC voltage converter commonly used in new energy vehicles) in the electric drive system of the new energy mining truck.

[0065] Specifically, the original vehicle's electric drive cooling system can be used, which typically includes components such as cooling pipes and radiators. The electric drive system heat collection unit 1 in this embodiment can be formed by changing the flow direction of the cooling medium in the pipes.

[0066] In this embodiment, a hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 is also included, which is used to collect the heat energy generated by the hydraulic system of the mining truck.

[0067] Specifically, the hydraulic pump 10, working device, braking system, and other components in the new energy mining truck mostly adopt a hydraulic transmission structure. During the operation of the mining truck, the circulation of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system generates a large amount of waste heat. This waste heat will cause the hydraulic oil itself to heat up, and if it is not utilized, it will be released into the external environment, resulting in waste. Therefore, the waste heat of the hydraulic oil can be utilized by changing the flow direction of the hydraulic oil based on the original hydraulic pipes, thereby forming the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 in this embodiment.

[0068] In this embodiment, a heat release unit 3 is also included, which is used to release heat energy on the inner wall of the car body 12 of the mining truck.

[0069] Specifically, but not limited to, adding cooling coils to the floor and front panel of the carriage 12, such as using copper as the coil material and encapsulating the coils with metal sheets to serve as the heating / heat dissipation area of ​​the carriage 12. A drive component and corresponding control valve are then added to the cooling coils to form a heat release unit 3.

[0070] In this embodiment, a heat exchange unit 4 is also included, which is connected to the electric drive system heat collection unit 1, the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2, and the heat release unit 3 through pipelines, and is used to transfer the heat energy collected by the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 and the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 to the heat release unit 3.

[0071] Specifically, heat exchange unit 4 can adopt a plate heat exchanger structure. Since heat exchange is required for three different media, a three-medium plate heat exchanger, which has three independent and unconnected circulation pipelines, can be used.

[0072] In this embodiment, a control unit (not shown in the figure) is also included, which is electrically connected to the electric drive system heat collection unit 1, the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 and the heat release unit 3 respectively, and is used to control the operation of the heat collection system.

[0073] Specifically, the control unit can be shared with the VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) integrated into the mining truck to control the heat collection system. This heat collection system can use the VCU as the control unit, communicating with the unmanned industrial control computer via a CAN bus. The VCU program can execute logic based on preset thresholds, or the unmanned driving program can issue commands to achieve active adjustment and modification of threshold parameters.

[0074] Specifically, an independent control unit can be added, such as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), or a circuit including at least one processor, or a circuit including at least one microcontroller, or a combination of multiple circuits or chips, as long as the corresponding function can be achieved; it is understood that for those skilled in the art, the control circuit can also be a common circuit composed of amplifiers, comparators, transistors, MOSFETs, etc., to achieve the corresponding function in a purely hardware manner.

[0075] In this specific implementation, the electric drive system's heat collection unit 1 and the hydraulic system's heat collection unit 2 simultaneously heat the heat release unit 3 (carriage 12) for de-icing. The control unit then automatically controls the de-icing process. Without additional battery power consumption, this effectively de-icing the carriage 12, improving the efficiency of mining truck transportation, reducing the load on the trucks (material frozen in carriage 12), and thus saving energy. This provides a strong guarantee for the efficient and smooth transportation of materials in the mining area.

[0076] In some embodiments, the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 includes a first medium flow channel 101. The first medium flow channel 101 can utilize the piping in the original vehicle's electric drive cooling system. It is typically a connected pipe structure formed by copper pipes, connected to one of the independent pipes in the heat exchange unit 4.

[0077] Specifically, the conduit can be coiled inside the housing of at least one of the drive motor 7, MCU8, and DC / DC converter 9 in the electric drive system. The more coils there are, the greater the heat energy can be collected.

[0078] In this embodiment, a medium is also included, disposed within the first medium flow channel 101, for absorbing the heat energy of at least one of the drive motor 7, MCU8 and DC / DC converter 9.

[0079] Specifically, ethylene glycol aqueous solution can be used as a cooling medium, but is not limited to this. Ethylene glycol, as a base fluid for vehicle coolants, has the following characteristics: extremely low freezing point and excellent antifreeze properties; high boiling point and good high-temperature resistance; large specific heat capacity and strong thermal conductivity and heat dissipation; moderate viscosity and good low-temperature fluidity; strong chemical stability and wide applicability to various operating conditions.

[0080] In this embodiment, a first medium driving unit 102 is also included, which is disposed on the pipeline of the first medium flow channel 101 and electrically connected to the control unit for driving the medium to circulate.

[0081] Specifically, an electric pump structure can be adopted, which can realize the circulation of the driving medium in the pipeline of the first medium flow channel 101.

[0082] In this embodiment, a first reversing valve 103 is also included. It can be a two-position six-way valve structure, which is installed on the pipeline of the first medium flow channel 101 and electrically connected to the control unit. It is used to change the flow direction of the medium so that the medium enters the heat exchange unit 4 or directly connects to the heat release unit 3 without passing through the heat exchange unit 4.

[0083] In specific implementation, a first reversing valve 103 is set up, which can realize the automatic control of the flow direction of the medium of the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 according to the ambient temperature. It can switch between the heating mode of the carriage 12 and the heat dissipation mode of the electric drive system, providing more guarantees for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of material transportation operations in the mining area.

[0084] In some embodiments, the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4 via a hydraulic pipeline 13 and includes a second directional valve 201.

[0085] Specifically, hydraulic line 13 is the original hydraulic system line that can connect the hydraulic oil tank 11, the working device and the hydraulic pump 10.

[0086] Specifically, the second directional valve 201 can be a two-position three-way valve structure, installed on the hydraulic line 13, and electrically connected to the control unit. Under the action of the control unit, it can change the flow direction of the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system, allowing the hydraulic oil to enter the heat exchange unit 4 for heat exchange or to circulate directly through the existing hydraulic line 13 without passing through the heat exchange unit 4. To prevent hydraulic oil from flowing back to the heat exchange unit 4, a check valve 202 can be installed on the hydraulic line 13.

[0087] In specific implementation, a second reversing valve 201 is set up, which can realize the automatic control of the flow direction of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 by the control unit according to the ambient temperature. It can control whether the hydraulic oil participates in the heating of the carriage 12 under different working conditions, providing more guarantees for improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of material transportation operations in the mining area.

[0088] In some embodiments, the heat release unit 3 includes a second medium flow channel 301.

[0089] Specifically, the second medium flow channel 301 is a connecting pipe structure, which can use the same material and structure as the first medium flow channel 101, and is connected to one of the independent pipes in the heat exchange unit 4, and is set on the inner wall of at least one of the bottom plate, front plate and side plate of the car body 12 of the mining truck.

[0090] In this embodiment, the second medium flow channel 301 is preferably located on the front side of the floor plate and the inner wall of the front plate of the carriage 12, where it is more prone to freezing and sticking to materials.

[0091] In this embodiment, a medium is also included, which is disposed in the second medium flow channel 301 for heat transfer with the heat release unit 3.

[0092] Specifically, ethylene glycol aqueous solution can be used as the cooling medium, but it needs to be the same cooling medium as the heat collection unit 1 of the electric drive system.

[0093] In this embodiment, a second medium driving unit 302 is also included, which is disposed on the pipeline of the second medium flow channel 301 and electrically connected to the control unit for driving the medium to circulate.

[0094] Specifically, an electric pump structure can be adopted, which can realize the circulation of the driving medium in the pipeline of the second medium flow channel 301.

[0095] In this embodiment, a third reversing valve 303 is also included. It can adopt the same two-position six-way valve structure as the first reversing valve 103. It is installed on the pipeline of the second medium flow channel 301 and electrically connected to the control unit. It is used to change the flow direction of the medium so that the medium enters the heat exchange unit 4 or directly connects to the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 without passing through the heat exchange unit 4.

[0096] Specifically, the first medium flow channel 101 and the second medium flow channel 301 can be connected through the first reversing valve 103 and the third reversing valve 303 and the pipeline between them.

[0097] In practice, the first reversing valve 103 and the third reversing valve 303 are set to connect the first medium flow channel 101 and the second medium flow channel 301 to each other. This allows for switching between the heating mode of the car body 12 and the heat dissipation mode of the electric drive system under different ambient temperatures, which can meet the various needs of the mining truck in the mining environment, thereby improving operating efficiency and saving operating costs.

[0098] In some embodiments, the flow channels of the electric drive system heat collection unit 1, the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2, and the heat release unit 3 are not interconnected within the heat exchange unit 4. Furthermore, the flow channels of the electric drive system heat collection unit 1, the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2, and the heat release unit 3 are arranged alternately within the heat exchange unit 4.

[0099] Specifically, heat exchange unit 4 adopts a three-medium plate heat exchanger, which has three independent and unconnected circulation pipelines inside. It can simultaneously exchange heat energy between the medium of the electric drive system heat collection unit 1, the medium of the heat release unit 3, and the hydraulic oil of the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2.

[0100] In practice, a three-medium plate heat exchanger is used, which enables the three media to exchange heat with each other without mixing, providing a reliable guarantee for de-icing and de-icing of the mining truck compartment 12.

[0101] In some embodiments, the heat release unit 3 further includes an expansion tank 304. The expansion tank 304 is a prior art closed liquid storage container with a pressure control device, installed at a high position in the heat release unit 3, used to contain the volume expansion of the medium due to temperature changes, collect gas in the system, maintain stable system pressure, and complete loop replenishment when the medium contracts, while realizing medium level monitoring and convenient filling.

[0102] The working principle of the mining card heat collection system provided by this invention is as follows:

[0103] In winter when temperatures are low, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control unit switches the first reversing valve 103 and the third reversing valve 303 to the heating valve position 5. Both the first medium flow channel 101 and the second medium flow channel 301 are connected to the heat exchange unit 4, exchanging the heat energy of the electric drive system with the medium of the heat release unit 3 to provide a base temperature between the truck bed 12 and the material, preventing excessively hard ice formation. When the mining truck enters the pre-set advance time node of the unloading stage, such as 10-15 minutes before unloading, ... Figure 2 As shown, the control unit switches the second reversing valve 201 to the connected valve position 2011, connecting the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 and the heat exchange unit 4, enabling the dual heat collection systems to heat the carriage 12 together. In extremely cold weather, the control unit can appropriately increase the pressure relief valve of the hydraulic system within a safe range, thereby increasing the overall pressure of the hydraulic system and increasing the rotational speed of the second medium drive unit 302 to increase medium circulation, further promoting more heat exchange and thus achieving rapid ice melting and de-icing.

[0104] In spring and autumn when the temperature is normal, such as Figure 1 As shown, the control unit switches the first reversing valve 103 and the third reversing valve 303 to the heating valve position 5. This connects both the first medium flow channel 101 and the second medium flow channel 301 to the heat exchange unit 4. The control unit then switches the second reversing valve 201 to the disconnect valve position 2012, disconnecting the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 from the heat exchange unit 4. At this time, the heat energy of the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 can be exchanged with the medium of the heat release unit 3. This achieves the function of using the carriage 12 to dissipate heat for the electric drive system.

[0105] During the high temperatures of summer, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control unit switches both the first reversing valve 103 and the second reversing valve 201 to the heat dissipation valve position 6. The first medium flow channel 101 is directly connected to the second medium flow channel 301. The media of the electric drive system's heat collection unit 1 and heat release unit 3 are combined into one, jointly transferring the heat energy of the electric drive system's heat collection unit 1 to the vehicle compartment 12 for heat dissipation. This method can more directly utilize the large heat dissipation area of ​​the vehicle compartment 12 and the high specific heat capacity of water-containing materials to cool the electric drive system.

[0106] By adopting the above method, ice can be melted and de-iced in the carriage 12 during winter, and a larger heat dissipation area and higher specific heat capacity can be provided for the electric drive system in summer. This is because the heat dissipation area of ​​the carriage 12 is much larger than that of the original electric drive system radiator, and relying on the characteristics of the material itself with high water content and high heat melt ratio, a better cooling environment can be provided for the medium, thereby achieving a multi-functional function and producing new technical effects.

[0107] Method Implementation Examples

[0108] Please refer to Figure 4 The illustrations are provided to better understand the specific embodiments of the present invention. The present invention provides a new energy mining truck heat collection method, applicable to the material transportation operation of mining trucks. The method includes:

[0109] I. Determining Ambient Temperature

[0110] 1. When the ambient temperature reaches the first threshold preset by the control unit, switch to the basic winter insulation mode.

[0111] 2. When the ambient temperature reaches the second threshold preset by the control unit, switch to spring and autumn heat dissipation mode.

[0112] 3. When the ambient temperature reaches the third threshold preset by the control unit, switch to summer heat dissipation mode.

[0113] Specifically, the first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold correspond to the ambient temperatures in winter, spring and autumn, and summer, respectively, and specific values ​​can be set according to the specific temperature of the mining area.

[0114] II. Winter Basic Insulation Conditions

[0115] 1. The control unit positions the first reversing valve 103 in the heating valve position 5. The first medium flow channel 101 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4. The medium circulates between the heat exchange unit 4 and the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 under the action of the first medium drive unit 102.

[0116] 2. The control unit positions the third reversing valve 303 in the heating valve position 5. The second medium flow channel 301 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4. The medium circulates between the heat exchange unit 4 and the heat release unit 3 under the action of the second medium drive unit 302.

[0117] III. Rapid Warming Conditions During Winter

[0118] 1. When the time remaining before unloading during mining truck operation reaches the preset time threshold of the control unit, the control unit switches the second directional valve 201 to the connected valve position 2011. The hydraulic pipeline 13 of the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4. The hydraulic oil of the mining truck hydraulic system circulates between the heat exchange unit 4 and the hydraulic system heat collection unit 2 under the action of the hydraulic pump 10.

[0119] Specifically, the time threshold can be set in the control unit, such as 10min-15min, or an electronic fence can be set at a certain distance from the unloading point. When the mining truck enters the fence range, the winter rapid heating mode will be activated.

[0120] 2. The control unit increases the safety pressure of the mining truck hydraulic system and increases the power of the second medium drive unit 302.

[0121] Specifically, the system safety pressure should be increased within an appropriate range and should not be too high, otherwise it will cause safety problems.

[0122] IV. Restoring the basic insulation condition for winter

[0123] After the mining truck completes the unloading operation, the control unit restores the safety pressure to its initial value and the initial power of the second medium drive unit 302. It then positions the second directional valve 201 in the open valve position 2012. The system returns to the ambient temperature judgment stage until the material transport operation is completed.

[0124] V. Heat dissipation conditions in spring and autumn

[0125] 1. The control unit positions the first reversing valve 103 in the heating valve position 5. The first medium flow channel 101 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4. The medium circulates between the heat exchange unit 4 and the electric drive system heat collection unit 1 under the action of the first medium drive unit 102.

[0126] 2. Keep the second directional valve 201 in the open position 2012, so that hydraulic oil does not flow through the heat exchange unit 4.

[0127] 3. The control unit positions the third reversing valve 303 in the heating valve position 5. The second medium flow channel 301 is connected to the heat exchange unit 4. Under the action of the second medium drive unit 302, the medium circulates between the heat exchange unit 4 and the heat release unit 3. The process returns to the ambient temperature judgment stage until the material transportation operation is completed.

[0128] Specifically, under this operating condition, the electric drive system uses the heat exchange unit 4 and the heat release unit 3 for heat dissipation, which can make full use of the large heat dissipation area of ​​the carriage 12 and the large specific heat capacity of the water-containing materials for efficient heat dissipation.

[0129] VI. Summer Heat Dissipation Conditions

[0130] 1. The control unit positions both the first reversing valve 103 and the third reversing valve 303 in the heat dissipation valve position 6.

[0131] 2. The control unit keeps the second directional valve 201 in the open valve position 2012.

[0132] 3. The first medium flow channel 101 and the second medium flow channel 301 are connected. The hydraulic pipeline 13 is disconnected from the heat exchange unit 4. Under the action of the first medium drive unit 102 and the second medium drive unit 302, the medium circulates between the heat release unit 3 and the electric drive system heat collection unit 1. It returns to the ambient temperature judgment stage until the material transportation operation is completed.

[0133] Specifically, in high-temperature summer environments, the electric drive system utilizes direct connection to the heat release unit 3 for heat dissipation, further leveraging the large heat dissipation area of ​​the carriage 12 and the high specific heat capacity of water-containing materials for efficient heat dissipation. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a dedicated radiator, saving production costs.
