DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an automatic leveling track type general chassis for agricultural machinery comprises an automatic leveling chassis body, an independent suspension device and a moving device 7.
[0029] The automatic leveling chassis body comprises a chassis 1, a damping device 4, a chassis leveling device 5, a longitudinal force transmission rod 6 and an inclination sensor 8.
[0030] The independent suspension device comprises an upper fork arm 2 and a lower longitudinal arm 3. One end of the upper fork arm 2 is connected to the chassis 1, and the other end is connected to the moving device 7. The lower longitudinal arm 3 is installed below the upper fork arm 2 in general, and one end is installed on the chassis 1, and the other end is connected to the moving device 7. The upper fork arm 2 and the lower longitudinal arm 3 are connected to the chassis 1 and the moving device 7 by pin connection at the same time, which plays a role in connecting the moving device 7 and fixing the moving device 7 to move up and down during walking. The independent suspension device has six groups, which are installed on both sides of the chassis 1 in the direction of movement, and three on each side are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the chassis 1.
[0031] The damping device 4 has four groups in total, which are located on both sides of the vehicle body, and two groups of damping devices are installed on each side, which are biased towards the front end and the rear end of the vehicle body. The chassis leveling device 5 is installed in the middle of the damping device 4. The longitudinal force transmission rod 6 is connected to the chassis 1 and the moving device 7 in the form of a sliding groove at both ends. The inclination sensor 8 is installed on the chassis 1.
[0032] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the shock absorption device 4 includes a shock absorber 401 and a shock absorption spring 402. The shock absorption spring 402 is externally connected around the shock absorber 401, and its upper and lower ends are respectively fixed to the spring seats of the shock absorber 401. The shock absorption device 4 is fixed to the general chassis by means of pin connection between the upper and lower ends of the shock absorber 401. The upper end of the shock absorber 401 is connected to the chassis 1, and the lower end of the shock absorber 401 is connected to the lower longitudinal arm 3.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the chassis leveling device 5 includes a hydraulic rod 501, a hydraulic pump 502, a hydraulic oil tank 503, and a magnetostrictive displacement sensor 504. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 501 is connected to the chassis 1, and the lower end is also connected to the lower longitudinal arm 3. There are two sets of hydraulic rods, which are installed on both sides of the chassis 1 in the direction of travel, with one on each side symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the chassis 1 and located in the middle of the two sets of shock absorption devices 4. The magnetostrictive displacement sensor 504 is installed inside the hydraulic rod 501. The hydraulic pump 502 and the hydraulic oil tank 503 are installed at the bottom of the chassis 1 and are connected to the interface on the hydraulic rod 501 through pipes or other means.
[0034] As shown in this embodiment, the self-leveling tracked agricultural machinery chassis can be used for high-speed movement in non-working conditions such as movement between conventional terrains and work sites. At this time, the hydraulic rod 501 in the chassis leveling device 5 is in its initial state and has a large margin, and there is a large demand for the shock absorption device 4. The shock absorption device 4 needs to protect the hydraulic rod 501 in the chassis leveling device 5. When the chassis leveling device 5 starts to function in the working condition, there is a large amount of hydraulic oil in the hydraulic chamber of the hydraulic rod 501, resulting in a low margin in the hydraulic rod 501. This stretches or compresses the shock absorption device 4, so the shock absorption device 4 does not play a large shock absorption role. However, because agricultural operations need to be completed, the movement speed of the self-leveling tracked agricultural machinery chassis is relatively low. At the same time, the site conditions in the working scenario can also reduce the demand for the shock absorption device 4. Therefore, the shock absorption effect will be reduced due to the reduced demand, so that the independent suspension device alone can meet the needs in the working condition.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the longitudinal force transmission rod 6 and the moving device 7 are connected by a horizontal sliding groove, and a self-locking mechanism is provided to fix the longitudinal force transmission rod 6. Its function is to transmit the longitudinal force generated by the tracked agricultural machinery chassis that can be automatically leveled during the driving process. Similarly, the longitudinal force transmission rod 6 and the chassis 1 are connected by the same and similar sliding groove, only the direction of the sliding groove is changed from horizontal to vertical. A self-locking mechanism is also provided to fix the longitudinal force transmission rod 6.
[0036] like Figure 5As shown, when the automatic leveling track-type agricultural machine universal chassis is used for agricultural work on the land, and encounters obstacles such as stones and clods that are higher than the ground, the shock-absorbing device 4 can absorb a certain impact force, and plays a certain protective role on the chassis leveling device 5. At the same time, the obstacles higher than the ground will generate a force on the moving device 7, driving the entire moving device 7 to move upward by a certain displacement, causing the lower longitudinal arm 3 to move upward and compress the shock absorber 401 in the shock-absorbing device 4 to shrink, thereby reducing the vibration impact on the chassis 1 and the chassis leveling device 5 when passing through the obstacles, and allowing the chassis 1 to maintain a horizontal state during movement. When walking on a horizontal ground, whether encountering obstacles higher or lower than the ground, the independent suspension device and the moving device 7 can ensure that the chassis 1 can maintain a stable and horizontal state, without the need for frequent leveling of the chassis leveling device 5, and ensuring the service life of the hydraulic rod 501 and other devices in the chassis leveling device 5.
[0037] As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic leveling track-type agricultural machine universal chassis according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a chassis 1, a chassis leveling device 5, a shock-absorbing device 4, a moving device 7, and an inclination sensor 8. Figure 6 As shown, when the automatic leveling track-type agricultural machine universal chassis according to the embodiment of the present application is driven on a slope, for example, inclined to the right, the moving device 7 at the higher position will be compressed, causing the moving device 7 to move upward, thereby driving the lower longitudinal arm 3 to move and compress the shock absorber 401, and the moving device 7 on the other side will be pulled downward due to gravity, causing the lower longitudinal arm 3 to stretch the shock absorber 401.
[0038] When the chassis 1 is inclined, the inclination sensor 8 located below the chassis 1 detects the generation of the inclination of the chassis 1, and starts to send instructions to the controller, and the hydraulic pump 502 starts to pressurize and add oil from the hydraulic oil tank 503. The control hydraulic oil flows into the rodless cavity of the right hydraulic rod 501, pushing the piston rod to extend; at the same time, it enters the rod cavity of the left hydraulic rod 501, pushing the piston rod to retract. In this process, the hydraulic oil in the rodless cavity of the right hydraulic rod 501 and the rod cavity of the left hydraulic rod 501 returns to the hydraulic oil tank 503 through the control valve.
[0039] In the leveling process of the two hydraulic rods 501, the magnetostrictive displacement sensor 504 is used to detect the extension and retraction amount of the hydraulic rod 501 in real time, and compare it with the preset extension and retraction value, to accurately complete the leveling task.
[0040] Embodiment 2
[0041] The present embodiment describes a leveling method for an automatic leveling track-type agricultural machine universal chassis, comprising the following steps:
[0042] (1) the inclination sensor 8 is installed on the chassis 1, when entering the slope, the chassis 1 is inclined, the inclination sensor 8 obtains the inclination information, inputs the information into the controller and carries out the denoising analysis, and compares the denoised input information with the threshold value, if the absolute value of the input information is less than the threshold value, it is considered as jolt, and leveling is not carried out; if the absolute value of the input information is greater than the threshold value, it is considered that the chassis is walking on the slope, and the leveling is started.
[0043] (2) the input information is analyzed again, because the inclination sensor 8 can output positive and negative values after setting the coordinate system, it can be set that when the value is negative, the chassis 1 is inclined to the left; if the value is positive, the chassis 1 is inclined to the right; according to the angle of inclination, the contraction value or the elongation value of the hydraulic rod 501 is calculated in the controller as the preset value of the chassis leveling device 5.
[0044] (3) the controller controls the chassis leveling device 5 to level, and simultaneously reads the displacement of the magnetostrictive displacement sensor 504 in real time, to ensure the accuracy of the displacement of the hydraulic rod 501; when the hydraulic rod 501 is displaced by 90% of the total stroke, the controller sends a command to gradually reduce the leveling speed of the hydraulic rod 501, to prevent the actual displacement from exceeding the preset value; when the hydraulic rod 501 completes the leveling, the inclination sensor 8 detects the chassis 1 again and feeds back the inclination angle of the leveled chassis 1; when the absolute value is less than the threshold value, it is considered that the leveling is completed, and a closed-loop leveling process is completed; if the input absolute value is still greater than the threshold value, the above steps are repeated to level again.
[0045] Finally, it should be explained that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not limited to the protection scope of the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
