BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0019] Figure 1 The utility model discloses an automatic oil changing system block diagram of unmanned mine vehicle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not 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 the utility model.

[0021] EMBODIMENT

[0022] In conjunction with the drawings, Figure 1As shown, an unmanned mine vehicle automatic oil changing system, comprising: a double-cavity oil tank with a main oil tank and a secondary oil tank, a first electromagnetic valve, a second electromagnetic valve, a vehicle controller VCU, an engine, a temperature sensor, and pipelines and lines used for mutual communication, etc.; the oil inlet and the oil outlet of the engine are connected to the P port of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, respectively;

[0023] The oil outlet and the oil return port of the main oil tank are connected to the A port of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, respectively;

[0024] The oil outlet and the oil return port of the secondary oil tank are connected to the B port of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, respectively;

[0025] The vehicle controller VCU is connected to the temperature sensor, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, respectively, and the temperature sensor is used to measure the vehicle working environment temperature; so that the vehicle controller VCU switches the communication between the A port and the P port, or the B port and the P port of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve through the vehicle working environment temperature.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the main oil tank of the double-cavity oil tank is filled with No. 0 diesel oil, i.e. light diesel oil, and the secondary oil tank is filled with high-grade diesel oil;

[0027] The A port of the first electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil outlet of the main oil tank through a pipeline, and the A port of the second electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil return port of the main oil tank through a pipeline; the B port of the first electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil outlet of the secondary oil tank through a pipeline, and the B port of the second electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil return port of the secondary oil tank through a pipeline;

[0028] The P port of the first electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil inlet of the engine through a pipeline, and the P port of the second electromagnetic valve is connected to the oil outlet of the engine through a pipeline;

[0029] The vehicle controller VCU is connected to the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve through a line, respectively, to control the communication between the A port and the P port, or the B port and the P port;

[0030] The temperature sensor is connected to the vehicle controller VCU through a line, used to measure the vehicle working environment temperature, compared with the set temperature in the vehicle controller VCU, to realize the communication control of the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, an unmanned mine vehicle, comprising the automatic oil changing system as described above, the main oil tank, the first electromagnetic valve, the engine and the second electromagnetic valve form a main oil tank loop in sequence; the secondary oil tank, the first electromagnetic valve, the engine and the second electromagnetic valve form a secondary oil tank loop in sequence.

[0032] Specifically, before the unmanned vehicle is first driven in winter, the B port of the first electromagnetic valve and the P port are communicated, and the B port of the second electromagnetic valve and the P port are communicated through the vehicle control unit VCU, and no matter what the mine environment temperature is, the high-grade diesel oil in the auxiliary oil tank is used first to ensure the normal operation of the engine.

[0033] When the vehicle is powered on in the ON gear, the vehicle control unit VCU compares the mine environment temperature measured by the temperature sensor with the set temperature set in the vehicle control unit VCU:

[0034] I. If the measured environment temperature is less than the set temperature, the B port of the first electromagnetic valve and the P port are maintained in the communication state, and the engine uses the high-grade diesel oil in the auxiliary oil tank to start; after the engine runs for a period of time t1, the engine is preheated, and the second electromagnetic valve is switched from the B port and the P port to the A port and the P port through the vehicle control unit VCU, so that the engine back oil returns to the main oil tank; after a period of time t2, the first electromagnetic valve is switched from the B port and the P port to the A port and the P port through the vehicle control unit, so that the engine oil is switched from the high-grade diesel oil in the auxiliary oil tank to the 0# diesel oil in the main oil tank, so that not only the 0# diesel oil in the main oil tank can be prevented from returning to the auxiliary oil tank, but also the operating cost of using 0# diesel oil is lower.

[0035] II. If the measured environment temperature is greater than or equal to the set temperature, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are switched from the B port and the P port to the A port and the P port through the vehicle control unit VCU, and the engine directly uses the 0# diesel oil in the main oil tank to start working, so that the consumption of high-grade diesel oil in the auxiliary oil tank can be saved.

[0036] When the unmanned vehicle completes the daily work or needs to stop for other reasons, the unmanned vehicle returns to the parking area, and after detecting the parking signal, the first electromagnetic valve is switched from the A port and the P port to the B port and the P port through the vehicle control unit VCU; after a period of time t3, the second electromagnetic valve is switched from the A port and the P port to the B port and the P port through the vehicle control unit VCU; after a period of time t4, the engine is stopped. At this time, the diesel oil in the pipeline after the engine is stopped is all high-grade diesel oil, which ensures normal starting next time and is not affected by the environment temperature.

[0037] Although the present application has been described with reference to the explanatory embodiments thereof, the above-described embodiments are merely the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to the above-described embodiments. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can design many other modifications and embodiments, and these modifications and embodiments will fall within the scope and spirit of the present application.
