They are also frequently used in outdoor venues, such as concerts, sporting events, and exhibitions, or in field mining and exploration, where power supply vehicles can provide mobile power support.

[0003] Currently, power supply vehicles often use diesel generator sets for power generation. The diesel generator set is installed on the power supply vehicle, and the generator set's control system is installed on the side of the power supply vehicle box. When the power supply vehicle is parked at a location that requires power, the generator is turned on next to the control panel to ensure power supply.

[0004] To avoid the impact of control system failures on the reliability of power supply to the power vehicle, the control system generally needs to be designed with redundancy. In the existing technology, the switching control of redundant controllers is often controlled by software. After the main controller fails and switches to the backup controller, the failed main controller and the actuator remain connected. At this time, the failed main controller may issue incorrect instructions, interfering with the backup controller's control of the actuator, resulting in insufficient reliability.

Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0025] To address the problem of insufficient reliability in existing power supply vehicles where the main and backup controllers are simply connected in parallel, a faulty main controller may issue incorrect commands during redundancy switching, interfering with the backup controller's control of the actuators.

[0026] This invention provides a control system based on a power supply vehicle, in which a main controller and a backup controller are connected in parallel and communicatively. The voltage regulation control ports and speed regulation control ports of the main controller and the backup controller are connected in parallel through the normally closed and normally open contacts of a first relay. The backup controller also includes a switching control port that can provide an enable signal output when there is a communication abnormality or a communication fault code between the main controller and the backup controller. The switching control port is connected to the coil of the first relay. When the main controller fails and switches to the backup controller, the backup controller can switch the voltage regulation control port and speed regulation control port from the main controller to the backup controller through the first relay, disconnecting the physical connection between the main controller and the voltage regulator and speed regulator. This effectively avoids interference from erroneous commands that the faulty main controller may issue to the generator control, improving the power generation reliability of the power supply vehicle.

[0027] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The power supply vehicle-based control system in this embodiment is used for the power generation control of the power supply vehicle. The main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 obtain the generator's output current, output voltage, and load terminal voltage through the generator current sampling port A01, the generator voltage sampling port V01, and the load voltage sampling port V02. Based on the load terminal voltage, the voltage regulator 31 and the speed regulator 32 are adjusted. The output voltage and speed of the generator 10 are adjusted through the voltage regulator 31 and the speed regulator 32 to perform voltage stabilization control of the load terminal voltage and ensure the stability of power supply to the load.

[0028] The main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 are connected for software redundancy switching control. The communication signals include fault codes, data frames, etc. When the fault code of the main controller 21 indicates a fault or the data frame is lost, the backup controller 22 recognizes the fault of the main controller 21 and automatically takes over the main controller 21.

[0029] To avoid interference from erroneous commands that may be issued in the event of a malfunction of the main controller 21, in this embodiment, the voltage regulation control port and speed regulation control port of the main controller 21 are connected to the normally closed contact of the first relay KM1, the voltage regulation control port and speed regulation control port of the backup controller 22 are connected to the normally open contact of the first relay KM1, the common contact of the first relay KM1 is connected to the control terminals of the voltage regulator 31 and the speed regulator 32, and the switching control port RYB of the backup controller 22 is connected to the coil of the first relay KM1.

[0030] When a data frame is lost or communication is abnormal between the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22, or when a fault code provided by the main controller 21 indicates a fault in the main controller 21, the switch to the backup controller 22 is effective. After the backup controller 22 is activated, its switching control port RYB provides an enable signal output, the coil of the first relay KM1 is energized, and the switch changes from a normally closed contact to a normally open contact. The voltage regulation control port and speed regulation control port connected to the voltage regulator 31 and speed regulator 32 are switched from the main controller 21 side to the backup controller 22 side, disconnecting the voltage regulation control port and speed regulation control port on the main controller 21 side. This can effectively avoid interference from erroneous commands that the faulty main controller 21 may issue to the voltage regulator 31 and speed regulator 32, and improve the control reliability after switching to the backup controller 22.

[0031] To facilitate voltage and speed regulation of the generator and avoid control signal crosstalk, in this embodiment, the voltage regulator 31 includes a boost control circuit and a buck control circuit, and the speed regulator 32 includes a speed increase control circuit and a speed decrease control circuit. A third relay KM3 is connected in series in each of the boost, buck, speed increase, and speed decrease control circuits. The voltage regulation control ports include a boost control port Y1 and a buck control port Y2, and the speed regulation control ports include a speed increase control port Y3 and a speed decrease control port Y4. Four sets of first relays KM1 are provided, and the common contact of each of the four first relays KM1 is connected one-to-one with the coil of each of the four third relays KM3. The boost control port Y1, buck control port Y2, speed increase control port Y3, and speed decrease control port Y4 are arranged separately and enabled individually, effectively avoiding crosstalk between the controls.

[0032] The control system is also used to control the output cabinet 11 of the generator 10. Correspondingly, the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 also include the output cabinet control terminal B01 connected in parallel. The output cabinet control terminal B01 is connected to the coil of the fourth relay KM4, and the fourth relay KM4 controls the closing and closing of the output cabinet 11.

[0033] When output cabinet 11 is not closed, there is no voltage output at the load end. At this time, the control system adjusts the generator's operating state according to the generator's operating conditions. Once the generator's operating state meets the requirements, the output is resumed. Correspondingly, when output cabinet 11 is not closed, the control of the generator only requires the sampling signals from the generator current sampling port A01 and the generator voltage sampling port V01. To facilitate the controller's identification of the output cabinet 11's state, the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 also include an output cabinet closing feedback port VFB. A feedback switch K11 is connected to the output cabinet 11, and the feedback switch K11 is control-connected to the output cabinet 11, responding to the closing state of the output cabinet 11. The feedback switch K11 may include, for example, a relay, whose coil is connected in series in the power supply output path of the output cabinet 11.

[0034] To further mitigate interference from the faulty main controller 21, in this embodiment, the main controller 21 also includes a grounding disable control port RY. The switching control port RYB of the backup controller 22 is connected to the coil of the second relay KM2. The switching circuit of the second relay KM2 is connected in series in the grounding circuit of the grounding disable control port RY. When the backup controller 22 takes over the main controller 21, it also synchronously drives the second relay KM2 to operate, grounding the grounding disable control port RY of the main controller 21 (or connecting it to the negative terminal of the DC power supply), disabling the main controller 21, and avoiding interference from other control ports of the main controller 21.

[0035] To facilitate the start-stop control of the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22, in this embodiment, the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 also include a remote start-stop control port RS connected in parallel. The remote start-stop control port RS is grounded to K10 through a remote control switch after being connected in parallel.

[0036] To provide emergency response capabilities, in this embodiment, the main controller 21 and the backup controller 22 also include a parallel emergency stop control port EM+. An off-site emergency stop button switch SB1 and a cab emergency stop button switch SB2 are connected in series on the emergency stop control port EM+, providing two emergency stop buttons for convenient emergency stop control. For example, in the event of a fire or other malfunction in the power supply vehicle, the control system can be shut down using the two emergency stop buttons to ensure safety. The off-site emergency stop button switch SB1 can be located next to the generator, allowing ground personnel to control the power supply vehicle while it is generating electricity, eliminating the need to enter the cab for emergency stop control and improving emergency stop control efficiency.

[0037] This utility model also provides a power supply vehicle, including the above-mentioned power supply vehicle-based control system, which can disconnect the physical connection between the main controller and the voltage regulator and speed regulator when the main controller fails and switches to the backup controller. This can effectively avoid interference from erroneous commands that the faulty main controller may issue to the generator control and improve the power generation reliability of the power supply vehicle.

[0038] The main controller and the backup controller can be selected from programmable logic controllers. The functions of each port of the programmable logic controller can be designed to meet the functional requirements of each port of the main controller and the backup controller.
