Detailed Implementation

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0021] Figure 1a This is a flowchart illustrating an automatic engine start-stop control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations where the start and stop of an engine on an aerial work platform are automatically controlled. The method can be executed by an automatic engine start-stop control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and configured within the aerial work platform. Figure 1a As shown, the method includes: Step 110: The working mode of the aerial work platform is detected to be the upper control mode. After the user issues the ignition command through the upper control platform operating handle, the engine is started, and then the working status of the engine is obtained.

[0022] In practical applications, aerial work platforms operate in two modes: top-control mode and bottom-control mode. Top-control mode involves operators controlling the equipment via an electrical control box located on the work platform. Bottom-control mode involves operators using a ground-based control console next to the equipment chassis, primarily for initial deployment and emergency retrieval.

[0023] In this step, the aerial work platform is detected to be in top-control mode. After the user manually starts the engine, it enters automatic engine start-stop mode, acquiring the engine's real-time operating status. Specifically, the user can issue an ignition command via the control handle on the top-control platform of the aerial work platform to start the engine and then obtain its operating status.

[0024] In one embodiment of this invention, starting the engine includes: transmitting an ignition signal to an ignition relay via an electronic control unit on the aerial work platform; transmitting an engine start signal to an engine control unit via the ignition relay; and controlling the engine to start via the engine control unit.

[0025] In one specific embodiment Figure 1b This can be a schematic diagram of the structure of an automatic engine start-stop control system in this embodiment. The system is deployed in the aerial work platform and includes: an electronic control unit (ECU), an engine control module (ECM), an engine, an upper control platform operating handle (i.e., a power control unit (PCU)), an ignition relay, a buzzer, and a starter battery.

[0026] like Figure 1b As shown, the ECU transmits engine start or stop signals to the ECM and current signals to the ignition relay or buzzer. The ECM transmits ignition or stop signals to the engine to control its start or stop. The user can trigger action commands (e.g., lifting, moving, ignition, stop, etc.) or enable commands via the PCU, which transmits these commands to the ECU. The ignition relay receives the current signal from the ECU and converts it into a start signal for transmission to the ECM. The starter battery powers the ECU, ECM, engine, PCU, ignition relay, and buzzer.

[0027] Specifically, the starting battery can be a valve-regulated sealed lead-acid battery (Absorbent Glass Mat Battery, AGM) for frequent discharge.

[0028] In this step, specifically, such as Figure 1b As shown, after the user issues an ignition command via the PCU, the PCU can transmit the ignition command to the ECU. Upon receiving the ignition command, the ECU can transmit a high-level current signal to the ignition relay. The ignition relay's coil engages under this current signal and transmits the engine start signal to the ECM, which then controls the engine to start.

[0029] Step 120: Based on the engine's operating status, if the engine is detected to be not operating within a preset time period, control the engine to automatically shut down.

[0030] In this embodiment, after detecting that the user has manually started the engine, the real-time operating status of the engine can be obtained. If the real-time operating status of the engine indicates that it has not been working for an extended period, the engine can be automatically shut down. For example, the control platform's operating handle can be checked within a preset time period to see if it has not issued an enable command or any action command; if so, it is determined that the engine has not been working within that time period, and the engine is automatically shut down.

[0031] In one embodiment of this example, controlling the engine to automatically shut down includes: transmitting an engine shutdown signal to the ECM via the ECU; and controlling the engine to automatically shut down via the ECM.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1b As shown, after determining that the engine has not been running for a long time, the ECU can transmit a shutdown signal to the ECM via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. The ECM then controls the engine to automatically shut down upon receiving this shutdown signal.

[0033] Step 130: After the engine automatically shuts off, if the system detects that the user has issued an enable command or any action command through the control platform's operating handle, the system will control the engine to start automatically.

[0034] In this embodiment, after the engine is automatically shut off, if the user issues an enable command or any action command (such as lifting, walking, etc.) through the control platform operating handle, it can be determined that the user has a work requirement to use the aerial work equipment. Therefore, the engine can be controlled to start automatically without the user having to start the engine manually.

[0035] In practical applications, frequent starting of aerial work platforms can severely damage battery life. To address this, this embodiment provides a method for determining the engine's starting status and protecting the starting battery based on the determination result.

[0036] Specifically, after controlling the engine to start automatically, the method further includes: counting the engine start-up time; if the engine start-up time exceeds a preset time and the engine fails to start successfully, then controlling the engine to exit the automatic start-stop mode.

[0037] In this embodiment, after the engine is started automatically, if the engine fails to start successfully for a long time, such as due to engine failure or abnormal starting thread, the engine can be controlled to exit the automatic start-stop mode, that is, the user can continue to control the engine manually, thereby avoiding damage to the battery caused by continuous engine starting.

[0038] The technical solution provided by this invention detects that the working mode of the aerial work platform is the upper control mode, and starts the engine after the user issues an ignition command through the upper control platform operating handle. Then, it obtains the engine's working status and controls the engine to automatically shut down when the engine is not working for a preset time. It also detects that the user issues an enable command or any action command through the upper control platform operating handle and controls the engine to automatically start. This technical means enables the aerial work platform to automatically shut down when it is not working for a long time, thereby saving energy. Furthermore, the user can automatically start the equipment by operating any action button or enable button when they want to use the equipment, thereby improving the ease of operation of the aerial work platform.

[0039] Figure 2 A flowchart of an engine automatic start-stop control method in front wheel steering mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes: Step 210: The working mode of the aerial work platform is detected to be the upper control mode. After the user issues the ignition command through the upper control platform operating handle, the engine is started, and then the working status of the engine is obtained.

[0040] Step 220: Within the first time period, check whether the upper control platform operating handle has not issued an enable command and any action command. If yes, proceed to step 230; otherwise, return to the operation of obtaining the engine's working status in step 210.

[0041] In this embodiment, specifically, the engine standby time can be set as a first duration t1, the engine shutdown countdown time can be set as a second duration t2, and the engine forced start time can be set as a third duration t3. The values ​​of t1, t2, and t3 can be preset according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not impose any limitations on them.

[0042] In this step, specifically, if the upper control platform operating handle does not issue an enable command or any action command within the time period t1, it is determined that the engine has entered the shutdown countdown state, and step 230 is executed.

[0043] Step 230: Determine that the engine is not working during the first duration, and control the buzzer to issue an alarm signal for the second duration.

[0044] In this step, such as Figure 1b As shown, if the ECU detects that the engine is not working within time t1, it controls the buzzer to emit an intermittent alarm signal to remind the user that the engine is about to shut off.

[0045] Step 240: Within the second time period, check whether the upper control platform operating handle has not issued an enable command and any action command. If yes, proceed to step 250; otherwise, return to the operation of obtaining the engine's working status in step 210.

[0046] In this step, if the duration of the alarm signal emitted by the buzzer reaches t2, and the upper control platform operating handle does not issue an enable command or any action command within that duration, then step 250 is executed; otherwise, if the upper control platform operating handle issues an enable command or any action command within t2, then the engine's operating status is acquired, and the timing for t1 and t2 is restarted.

[0047] Step 250: Control the engine to automatically shut down.

[0048] Step 260: After detecting that the user issues an enable command or any action command through the control platform's operating handle, control the engine to start automatically.

[0049] Step 270: Within the third time period, detect whether the engine speed has reached the preset speed threshold. If so, determine that the engine has started successfully, and then continue to return to the operation of obtaining the engine working status in step 210 to control the engine to start and stop automatically. If not, proceed to step 280.

[0050] Step 280: Determine that the engine has not started successfully, and control the engine to exit the automatic start-stop mode.

[0051] In this embodiment, the engine start-up time can be counted. When the engine start-up time is greater than t3 and the engine still fails to start successfully, the engine is controlled to exit the automatic start-stop mode, thereby avoiding damage to the battery caused by continuous engine start-up.

[0052] The technical solution provided by this invention, by detecting that the working mode of the aerial work platform equipment is the upper control mode, and after the user issues an ignition command through the upper control platform operating handle to start the engine, then acquiring the engine's working status, and within a first time period detecting whether the upper control platform operating handle has not issued an enable command or any action command, if so, controlling the buzzer to issue an alarm signal, within a second time period detecting whether the upper control platform operating handle has not issued an enable command or any action command, if so, controlling the engine to automatically shut down, and detecting after the user issues an enable command or any action command through the upper control platform operating handle controlling the engine to automatically start, and within a third time period detecting whether the engine speed has reached a preset speed threshold, if not, determining that the engine has not started successfully, and controlling the engine to exit the automatic start-stop mode, can enable the aerial work platform equipment to automatically shut down when not in use for a long time, thereby saving energy, and can also enable the equipment to automatically start when the user wants to use the equipment by operating any action button or enable button, thereby improving the ease of operation of the aerial work platform equipment.
