Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of engineering machinery, in particular to a control circuit for emergency steering of a loader. Background Art

[0002] A loader is a type of earthwork machinery widely used in construction projects such as roads, railways, buildings, hydropower, ports, and mines. It is mainly used to shovel bulk materials such as soil, sand, lime, and coal. It can also perform light shoveling operations on ore, hard soil, etc. By replacing different auxiliary working devices, it can also perform bulldozing, lifting, and loading and unloading of other materials such as wood.

[0003] For large-mass construction machinery such as loaders, if the engine suddenly stalls when traveling at a high speed, the engine-driven steering hydraulic pump will fail and the steering oil circuit will not be able to supply oil normally. If the road ahead is a 90° right-angle bend at this time, it will not be possible to brake in time, affecting driving safety. This poses a safety hazard and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the above problems and provide a control circuit for emergency steering of a loader which can timely switch on and protect the driver's safety when the engine is turned off.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model discloses a control circuit for emergency steering of a loader, including a power supply and a vehicle controller. Its structural characteristics are that it also includes an electric hydraulic oil pump installed on the steering oil circuit, an emergency steering relay for controlling the on-off of its circuit is installed on the power supply circuit of the electric hydraulic oil pump, the control end of the emergency steering relay is electrically connected to the vehicle controller, and also includes an emergency steering switch for controlling the emergency steering relay, the emergency steering switch is electrically connected to the vehicle controller, and also includes an electronic controller for controlling the emergency steering relay when the engine is turned off.

[0006] When the driver actively presses the emergency steering switch, the control relay signal end circuit is connected, the control relay switch end is closed, and the electric hydraulic pump is powered to supply oil to the steering oil circuit; when the engine suddenly stalls, the electronic controller sends a speed message through the bus. When the vehicle controller collects the engine speed from the bus and it is lower than 500 rpm, the control relay signal end circuit is immediately connected, the control relay switch end is closed, and the electric hydraulic pump is powered to supply oil to the steering oil circuit. This circuit can intervene in the emergency steering system when the engine suddenly stalls and the engine-driven steering hydraulic pump fails, thereby ensuring the driver's driving safety.

[0007] In order to ensure the power supply safety of the electric hydraulic oil pump, the electric hydraulic oil pump is connected to the power supply to form a power supply circuit, and a hydraulic oil pump fuse is installed on the power supply circuit of the electric hydraulic oil pump.

[0008] Preferably, the electronic controller is connected to the vehicle controller via a CAN bus. When the engine suddenly shuts down, the electronic controller sends a speed message via the bus. When the vehicle controller collects engine speed data from the bus that is lower than 500 rpm, the relay signal end loop is immediately controlled to be connected, and the relay switch end is controlled to be closed.

[0009] In order to ensure the power supply safety of the electronic controller, the electronic controller is connected to the power supply to form a power supply circuit, and an ECU fuse is installed on the power supply circuit of the electronic controller.

[0010] In order to ensure the power supply safety of the vehicle controller, the vehicle controller is connected to the power supply to form a power supply circuit, and a VCU fuse is installed on the power supply circuit of the vehicle controller.

[0011] Regarding the control method of the signal end of the emergency steering relay, the signal end of the emergency steering relay is electrically connected to the vehicle controller.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial effect of the utility model is that when the engine suddenly stalls and the steering hydraulic pump driven by the engine fails, the emergency steering system intervenes and supplies oil to the steering oil circuit through the electric hydraulic pump, thereby ensuring the driving safety of the driver.
