[0052] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 7 An attachment identification device, a forklift 100 and an attachment identification method according to an embodiment of the present application are described.

[0053] The attachment identification device of the embodiment of the present application is applied to a forklift 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the forklift 100 has a boom 110 and a plurality of different types of attachments 120, the attachments 120 are used to be installed on the boom 110, and the device includes a boom side identification module 140 and a plurality of attachment side identification modules 130. The plurality of attachment side identification modules 130 are used to be respectively set on different types of attachments 120. Figure 2As shown, each accessory side identification module 130 has a first signal input terminal 200 and multiple first signal output terminals 210. Any two accessory side identification modules 130 have at least one first signal output terminal 210 with a different port connection status. The port connection status is: the connection status between the first signal output terminal 210 and the first signal input terminal 200 in the same accessory side identification module 130.

[0054] The arm side identification module 140 is used to be arranged on the arm 110, such as Figure 3 As shown, the arm side identification module 140 includes a control module 300, and the control module 300 has a second signal output terminal 230 and a plurality of second signal input terminals 220. Figure 4 As shown, when the attachment 120 is installed on the boom 110 , the second signal output end 230 is connected to the first signal input end 200 , and the plurality of second signal input ends 220 are correspondingly connected to the plurality of first signal output ends 210 .

[0055] The control module 300 sends an identification signal to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that based on the port connection status of the first signal output terminal 210, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 corresponding to the first signal output terminal 210 is changed, thereby confirming the type of the accessory 120 according to the port voltages of multiple second signal input terminals 220.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the attachment 120 is installed on the boom 110, an identification signal is sent to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that based on the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 corresponding to the first signal output terminal 210 is changed. Since the port connection state of at least one first signal output terminal 210 of any two attachment-side identification modules 130 is different, for any two attachment-side identification modules 130, the port voltage of at least one second signal input terminal 220 of the control module 300 is different. Further, the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 are obtained, and then the type of the attachment 120 can be confirmed according to the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220. Compared with the traditional attachment 120 identification technology, the attachment identification device of the embodiment of the present application is not easily affected by the environment and can accurately identify the type of the attachment 120, thereby matching the corresponding load diagram.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present application, the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210 is any one of a first connection state and a second connection state, the first connection state is: a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is connected to the first signal output terminal 210, and the second connection state is: a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is disconnected from the first signal output terminal 210.

[0058] In this embodiment, the control module 300 sends an identification signal through the second signal output terminal 230, and the identification signal is a high-level signal. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the first connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 changes, that is, the port voltage becomes a high level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the second connection state, since the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are disconnected, the identification signal cannot be input to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220, so the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 is a low level.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The attachment-side identification module 130 has seven first signal output terminals 210 , six of which are in the first connection state, and one first signal output terminal is in the second connection state.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present application, the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210 is any one of a first connection state, a second connection state and a third connection state. The first connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are connected through a wire, the second connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are disconnected, and the third connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are connected through a resistor 240.

[0061] In this embodiment, the control module 300 sends an identification signal through the second signal output terminal 230, and the identification signal is a high-level signal. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the first connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 changes, that is, the port voltage becomes a high level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the second connection state, since the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are disconnected, the identification signal cannot be input to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220, so the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 is a low level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the third connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the resistor 240 and the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the corresponding port voltage changes, and due to the voltage drop of the resistor 240, the port voltage becomes an intermediate voltage, that is, the port voltage is between a high level and a low level.

[0062] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The attachment-side identification module 130 has seven first signal output terminals 210 , five of which are in the first connection state, one is in the second connection state, and one is in the third connection state.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, the third signal input terminal of the control module 300 is connected to the output terminal of the key switch of the forklift 100 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the key switch state of the forklift 100 is detected by the third signal input terminal of the control module 300. When the control module 300 detects that the key switch is closed and the forklift 100 is powered on, the control module 300 sends an identification signal through the second signal output terminal 230 to identify the attachment 120.

[0065] In addition, an embodiment of the present application discloses a forklift 100 including the attachment identification device as described above.

[0066] The forklift 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can implement each process implemented in the above method embodiment and achieve the same beneficial effects. To avoid repetition, they will not be described again here.

[0067] In addition, an embodiment of the present application discloses an accessory identification method, which is applied to the accessory identification device as described above. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes but is not limited to step S100, step S200 and step S300.

[0068] Step S100: When the attachment 120 is installed on the boom 110, an identification signal is sent to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that based on the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 correspondingly connected to the first signal output terminal 210 is changed. Since the port connection state of at least one first signal output terminal 210 of any two attachment-side identification modules 130 is different, under the action of the identification signal, the port voltage of at least one second signal input terminal 220 of any two boom-side identification modules 140 is different.

[0069] In this step, since the first signal input terminal 200 inputs the identification signal, if the port connection status of the first signal output terminal 210 is different, the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 is also different.

[0070] Step S200: obtaining port voltages of a plurality of second signal input terminals 220;

[0071] Step S300 : confirming the type of the accessory 120 according to the port voltages of the second signal input terminals 220 .

[0072] In this step, since the port voltage of at least one second signal input terminal 220 of any two arm side identification modules 140 is different, based on the multiple port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 of the predetermined multiple arm side identification modules 140 under the action of the identification signal, the corresponding accessory 120 type can be determined according to the multiple port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 of the type of accessory 120 to be identified.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the attachment 120 is installed on the boom 110, an identification signal is sent to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that based on the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 corresponding to the first signal output terminal 210 is changed. Since the port connection state of at least one first signal output terminal 210 of any two attachment-side identification modules 130 is different, for any two attachment-side identification modules 130, the port voltage of at least one second signal input terminal 220 of the control module 300 is different. Further, the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 are obtained, and then the type of the attachment 120 can be confirmed according to the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220. Compared with the traditional attachment 120 identification technology, the attachment identification method of the embodiment of the present application is not easily affected by the environment, and can accurately identify the type of the attachment 120, so as to match the corresponding load diagram.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present application, the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210 is any one of a first connection state and a second connection state, the first connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is connected to the first signal output terminal 210, and the second connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is disconnected from the first signal output terminal 210.

[0075] The step S100 of “sending an identification signal to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230 so as to change the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 correspondingly connected to the first signal output terminal 210 based on the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210” includes but is not limited to step S110.

[0076] Step S110: Send an identification signal to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that the port voltage of the first target input terminal is a high level, and the port voltage of the second target input terminal is a low level, the first target input terminal is: the second signal input terminal 220 connected to the first target output terminal, the first target output terminal is: the first signal output terminal 210 in the first connection state, the second target input terminal is: the second signal input terminal 220 connected to the second target output terminal, and the second target output terminal is: the first signal output terminal 210 in the second connection state.

[0077] In this embodiment, the control module 300 sends an identification signal through the second signal output terminal 230, and the identification signal is a high-level signal. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the first connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 changes, that is, the port voltage becomes a high level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the second connection state, since the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are disconnected, the identification signal cannot be input to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220, so the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 is a low level.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present application, “confirming the type of the accessory 120 according to the port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 ” in step S300 includes but is not limited to step S310 , step S320 , step S330 and step S340 .

[0079] Step S310: sorting the port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 based on the port sequence of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 to obtain a target voltage sequence;

[0080] In this step, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 is at a high level or a low level. The port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 are sorted according to the port sequence of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 to obtain a target voltage sequence.

[0081] Step S320: based on the high and low levels of the multiple port voltages in the target voltage sequence, convert the target voltage sequence into a binary number to obtain a target binary number;

[0082] In this step, based on the high and low levels of multiple port voltages in the target voltage sequence, the target voltage sequence is converted into a binary number, the high level is converted into a digital 1, and the low level is converted into a digital 0, to obtain a target binary number. Different types of accessory side identification modules 130 correspond to different binary numbers.

[0083] Step S330: obtaining a first numerical type mapping relationship, where the first numerical type mapping relationship is a correspondence relationship between a plurality of binary numbers and a plurality of types of attachments 120;

[0084] In this step, the first value type mapping relationship is: a correspondence between a plurality of binary numbers and a plurality of types of accessories 120 predetermined according to the identification signal and the port connection status of the first signal output terminal 210 of each accessory-side identification module 130 .

[0085] Step S340: Determine the type of the attachment 120 according to the mapping relationship between the target binary number and the first numerical type.

[0086] In this embodiment, the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 of the arm side identification module 140 are converted into digital 1 or digital 0 in sequence to obtain a target binary number, and then the type of the accessory 120 to be identified is determined based on the first numerical type mapping relationship and the target binary number.

[0087] It is understandable that if Figure 5 As shown, the binary number corresponding to the port voltage of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 of the arm side identification module 140 is 0111111, and the type of the attachment 120 to be identified can be determined according to the mapping relationship between 0111111 and the first numerical type. The seven-bit binary number can match the types of multiple attachments 120. Figure 4 As shown, the binary number corresponding to the port voltage of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 of the boom-side identification module 140 is 1111111.

[0088] In one embodiment of the present application, the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210 is any one of a first connection state, a second connection state and a third connection state. The first connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is connected to the first signal output terminal 210 through a wire, the second connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is disconnected from the first signal output terminal 210, and the third connection state is a state in which the first signal input terminal 200 is connected to the first signal output terminal 210 through a resistor 240.

[0089] The step S100 of “sending an identification signal to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230 so as to change the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 correspondingly connected to the first signal output terminal 210 based on the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210” includes but is not limited to step S120.

[0090] Step S120: Send an identification signal to the first signal input terminal 200 through the second signal output terminal 230, so that the port voltage of the first target input terminal is a high level, the port voltage of the second target input terminal is a low level, and the port voltage of the third target input terminal is an intermediate voltage, the intermediate voltage is a voltage between the high level and the low level, the first target input terminal is: the second signal input terminal 220 connected to the first target output terminal, the first target output terminal is: the first signal output terminal 210 in the first connection state, the second target input terminal is: the second signal input terminal 220 connected to the second target output terminal, the second target output terminal is: the first signal output terminal 210 in the second connection state, the third target input terminal is: the second signal input terminal 220 connected to the third target output terminal, and the third target output terminal is: the first signal output terminal 210 in the third connection state.

[0091] In this embodiment, the control module 300 sends an identification signal through the second signal output terminal 230, and the identification signal is a high-level signal. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the first connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 changes, that is, the port voltage becomes a high level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the second connection state, since the first signal input terminal 200 and the first signal output terminal 210 are disconnected, the identification signal cannot be input to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220, so the port voltage of the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 is a low level. If the first signal output terminal 210 is in the third connection state, the identification signal passes through the first signal input terminal 200, the resistor 240 and the first signal output terminal 210 to the corresponding second signal input terminal 220 in sequence, so that the corresponding port voltage changes, and due to the voltage drop of the resistor 240, the port voltage becomes an intermediate voltage, that is, the port voltage is between a high level and a low level.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, “confirming the type of the accessory 120 according to the port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 ” in step S300 includes but is not limited to step S350 , step S360 , step S370 and step S380 .

[0093] Step S350: sorting the port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 based on the port sequence of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 to obtain a target voltage sequence;

[0094] In this step, the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 is a high level, a low level or an intermediate voltage. The port voltages of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 are sorted according to the port sequence of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 to obtain a target voltage sequence.

[0095] Step S360: based on the voltage magnitudes of the multiple port voltages in the target voltage sequence, convert the target voltage sequence into a ternary number to obtain a target ternary number;

[0096] In this step, based on the high and low levels of multiple port voltages in the target voltage sequence, the target voltage sequence is converted into a ternary number, the high level is converted into the number 2, the low level is converted into the number 0, and the intermediate voltage is converted into the number 1, to obtain the target ternary number. Different types of accessory side identification modules 130 correspond to different ternary numbers.

[0097] Step S370: obtaining a second numerical type mapping relationship, where the second numerical type mapping relationship is a correspondence relationship between a plurality of ternary numbers and a plurality of types of attachments 120;

[0098] In this step, the second value type mapping relationship is: a correspondence between a plurality of predetermined ternary numbers and a plurality of types of accessories 120 according to the identification signal and the port connection status of the first signal output terminal 210 of each accessory-side identification module 130 .

[0099] Step S380: Determine the type of the attachment 120 according to the mapping relationship between the target ternary number and the second numerical type.

[0100] In this embodiment, the port voltages of the multiple second signal input terminals 220 of the arm side identification module 140 are converted into numbers 0, 1, and 2 in sequence to obtain a target ternary number, and then the type of the accessory 120 to be identified is determined based on the first numerical type mapping relationship and the target ternary number.

[0101] It is understandable that if Figure 6 As shown, the binary number corresponding to the port voltage of the plurality of second signal input terminals 220 of the arm side identification module 140 is 1022222, and the type of the attachment 120 to be identified can be determined according to the mapping relationship between 1022222 and the first numerical type. The seven-digit ternary number can match various types of attachments 120.

[0102] It is understandable that the state type of the port connection state of the first signal output terminal 210 can be increased so that the port voltage of the second signal input terminal 220 can be a variety of different voltages under the identification signal, which can be converted into corresponding values ​​in other bases to distinguish different types of accessories 120.

[0103] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
