When it is detected that the displacement of the boom cylinder 1 and the bucket cylinder 2 reaches the specified position, that is, the lower surface of the bucket remains parallel to the road surface and the bucket maintains a first preset height (5 cm to 10 cm) above the ground, the display screen 11 displays the bucket posture in real time and displays the height above the ground.

[0141] S26. When it is detected that the displacements of the boom cylinder 1 and the bucket cylinder 2 have reached a specified position, i.e., the lower surface of the bucket remains parallel to the road surface and the bucket is close to the ground (the bucket maintains a second preset height above the ground, e.g., 0 to 5 cm), the display screen 11 displays the bucket posture in real time and displays the height above the ground.

[0142] S27, the driver operates the vehicle to perform shoveling operation, releases the enable key 12 on the handle, and the operation is completely dependent on the driver.

[0143] Through the description of the above embodiments, the loader bucket automatic leveling system and method automatically adjusts the bucket posture through the controller, which can reduce the driver's operating intensity, improve operating accuracy and work efficiency, and can select different leveling modes for the bucket for different materials, adjust the bucket posture during shoveling, and ensure as much as possible whether the bucket is horizontally set close to the ground when fully loaded, or whether it maintains height and other factors, to avoid problems such as tire slippage, and the hydraulic pump is driven by an electric motor to improve control accuracy, which can alleviate the problems of response lag and low control accuracy that exist when relying entirely on hydraulic solenoid valve control; and the displacement sensor is arranged in the oil cylinder, which can avoid the sensor being directly exposed to harsh working environments, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the sensor.

[0144] Secondly, loaders are earthmoving and loading machines widely used in highway, railway, and mining construction projects. They are primarily used for shoveling bulk materials like soil, sand, gravel, and coal, but can also perform light excavation and loading of ore and hardened soil. During loading and unloading, the unloaded boom lowers, and the vehicle is traveling in reverse. This mismatch between the boom lowering speed and the vehicle's travel speed causes severe vehicle jitter, poor operational stability, and reduced driver comfort, impacting operational efficiency.

[0145] Under the above working conditions, the whole vehicle shakes severely. Currently, the driver is mainly relied on to intervene based on his experience, such as temporarily interrupting the lowering of the boom or stopping the vehicle, and then operating the operating device after the shaking of the whole vehicle stops. This type of operation method cannot effectively prevent the shaking of the whole vehicle and reduces the working efficiency. At the same time, this treatment method needs to rely on the driver's operating experience, and the effect of suppressing shaking is not ideal.

[0146] The loader control method of some embodiments of the present disclosure also includes a loader operation anti-shake control method, which can achieve a better anti-shake effect.

[0147] Based on the above technical solution, the present disclosure has at least the following beneficial effects: the loader operation anti-shake method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the problem that when the loader is loading and unloading materials, the boom is dropped in an unloaded state and the vehicle is in a reverse driving condition, the vehicle shakes violently back and forth. The boom lowering speed is adjusted in real time according to the opening information of the operating handle and the current driving speed information, and the hydraulic oil flow can be accurately controlled to control the boom lowering speed, which can reduce the problem of vehicle shaking under this working condition and avoid the low efficiency and delayed action caused by the hydraulic valve control method.

[0148] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3 , the present disclosure provides a loader control method, including:

[0149] During the unloading process of the loader, the weight information of the material in the bucket detected by the weighing sensor 17 is obtained to determine whether the loader is in an unloaded state;

[0150] When the vehicle is moving backward, the speed information of the vehicle is obtained;

[0151] Obtaining the opening information of the operating handle 18 for controlling the lowering of the boom;

[0152] In the no-load state, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 is calculated based on the opening information of the operating handle 18 and the current driving speed information. The boom cylinder 1 is used to control the movement of the boom.

[0153] During the unloading process, the loader can keep its position still, and the weighing sensor 17 detects the weight information of the material in the bucket to determine whether the loader is in an empty state or a loaded state. In the loaded state, the material can be fully loaded or occupy part of the volume of the bucket.

[0154] After unloading, the loader is in an unloaded state. The driver can then control the boom cylinder 1 through the operating handle 18 to lower the boom. Generally, the entire vehicle can be controlled to move backward at the same time. The driver can apply an initial opening position to the operating handle 18. The controller 5 (such as the vehicle controller VCU) can then automatically adjust the control signal sent to the driver 9 according to the opening information and the backward driving speed information of the entire vehicle. The driver 9 controls the rotation of the drive motor 8, thereby changing the speed of the first hydraulic pump 6. The first hydraulic pump 6 controls the extension and retraction of the boom cylinder 1 through the first hydraulic valve 13 to change the hydraulic oil passing through the boom cylinder 1, thereby controlling the lowering speed of the boom.

[0155] This embodiment addresses the problem of severe vehicle shaking back and forth when the boom is lowered in an unloaded state and the vehicle is in reverse during the loading and unloading process of the loader. The boom lowering speed is adjusted in real time according to the opening information of the operating handle 18 and the current driving speed information, and the hydraulic oil flow can be accurately controlled to control the boom lowering speed. This can reduce the problem of vehicle shaking under such conditions, improve the operator's operating comfort, and avoid the low efficiency and delayed action caused by the hydraulic valve control method.

[0156] In some embodiments, before the step of calculating the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 , the control method further includes:

[0157] The initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 is calculated based on the opening information.

[0158] This embodiment takes into account that the opening information applied by the driver to the operating handle 18 can reflect the speed at which the driver wants the boom cylinder 1 to move. The initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 calculated based on the opening information can provide a basis for the movement speed of the boom during the descent process. For example, in order to ensure safety and reduce shaking, the real-time movement speed of the boom can be lower than the initial movement speed as a whole.

[0159] In some embodiments, calculating the initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 according to the opening information includes:

[0160] Wherein, V is the initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1; D is the dead zone of the operating handle 18; X is the opening of the operating handle 18, with a value of 0-100, V max is the maximum initial movement speed of boom cylinder 1.

[0161] As shown in Figure 5, when the opening of the operating handle 18 is within D, the boom cylinder 1 does not move. By setting a dead zone, the operating handle 18 can be prevented from malfunctioning, thereby improving the safety of unloading. When the opening of the operating handle 18 is after D, the maximum initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 increases linearly with the opening of the operating handle 18. When the opening of the operating handle 18 reaches 100%, the maximum initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 reaches V max .

[0162] This embodiment can accurately and quantitatively calculate the initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 based on the opening information applied by the driver to the operating handle 18, so that the boom cylinder 1 can descend at an appropriate speed to prevent violent shaking caused by excessive speed.

[0163] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 , the loader operation anti-shake control method further includes:

[0164] Set the lower threshold value V during the movement of boom cylinder 1 cmin and the upper threshold Vcmax .

[0165] In this embodiment, the lower limit threshold V is set during the descending process of the boom cylinder 1. cmin , which can prevent the boom from descending too slowly and ensure the working efficiency as much as possible while controlling the vibration within a reasonable range; set the upper limit threshold V during the descent of the boom cylinder 1 cmax It can prevent the boom from descending too quickly and causing excessive vehicle shaking, thereby improving the driver's operating comfort.

[0166] In some embodiments, the step of calculating the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 according to the opening information of the operating handle 18 and the current driving speed information includes:

[0167] In the first vehicle speed range, the boom cylinder 1 moves at a first target speed, which does not exceed an upper threshold value;

[0168] In the second vehicle speed range, the boom cylinder 1 moves at a second target speed. The second vehicle speed range is larger than the first vehicle speed range as a whole, the second target speed is smaller than the first target speed, and the second target speed is not smaller than the lower limit threshold.

[0169] In the third vehicle speed interval, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 decreases from the first target speed to the second target speed. The third vehicle speed interval is located between the first vehicle speed interval and the second vehicle speed interval.

[0170] The first speed interval, the third speed interval, and the second speed interval are set sequentially, and the first speed interval and the third speed interval are adjacent, and the third speed interval and the second speed interval are adjacent. For example, the first speed interval is [0, Vh1], the third speed interval is (Vh1, Vh2), and the second speed interval is [Vh2, Vh3].

[0171] When this embodiment is in the first vehicle speed range, the boom can be allowed to descend at a higher speed due to the low vehicle speed, but in order to prevent large vibrations, the speed cannot exceed the upper threshold, and in order to simplify control, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 in this range can be set to a constant value; in the second vehicle speed range, due to the high vehicle speed, the boom's descending speed needs to be limited, but in order to prevent the boom's descending speed from being too slow to affect the working efficiency, the speed cannot be lower than the lower threshold, and in order to simplify control, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 in this range can be set to a constant value; in the third vehicle speed range, which is a vehicle speed range commonly used by loaders, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 in this range decreases from the first target speed to the second target speed to prevent large vibrations when the vehicle speed is fast, and the boom's descending speed can be precisely adjusted.

[0172] In some embodiments, the first target speed is equal to an upper threshold, the second target speed is equal to a lower threshold, and the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 decreases linearly from the upper threshold to the lower threshold.

[0173] In this embodiment, when the vehicle is in the first speed range, due to the low vehicle speed, the boom is directly lowered at the speed of the upper threshold, thereby preventing large vibrations and maximizing operating efficiency; in the second speed range, due to the high vehicle speed, it is necessary to limit the lowering speed of the boom, thereby directly lowering the boom at the speed of the lower threshold, thereby minimizing the vibration of the vehicle when reversing at high speed and improving operating safety; in the third speed range, the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 is linearly decreased from the upper threshold to the lower threshold, thereby conveniently determining the target movement speed according to the vehicle speed and reducing the difficulty of control.

[0174] Specifically, as shown in FIG6 , in the third vehicle speed range, namely V h1 ≤V h ≤V h2 ,

[0175] Among them, V c is the target motion speed of boom cylinder 1, V cmax is the upper threshold, V cmin is the lower threshold, V h is the current vehicle speed, V h1 and V h2 They are the left and right endpoints of the third vehicle speed range respectively.

[0176] Furthermore, in the first vehicle speed range, namely V h ≤V h1 , V c =V cmax In the second speed range, V h ≥V h2 , V c =V cmin .

[0177] In some embodiments, V cmax =V max ×k(k<1)

[0178] Among them, V cmax is the upper threshold, V max is the maximum initial movement speed of boom cylinder 1.

[0179] This embodiment determines the upper limit threshold value during the descending process according to the maximum initial movement speed of the boom cylinder 1, and makes the upper limit threshold value not exceed the maximum initial movement speed, thereby improving operation safety and reducing vibration.

[0180] In some embodiments, the loader operation anti-shake control method further includes:

[0181] Get the displacement information of the boom cylinder 1 detected by the displacement sensor 3 and calculate the current actual movement speed V of the boom cylinder 1 cur ;

[0182] in, L1 is the current displacement of boom cylinder 1, and L2 is the displacement of boom cylinder 1 before Δt time.

[0183] This embodiment can calculate the actual movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 in real time based on the feedback information of the displacement sensor 3, so as to perform more accurate control by comparing it with the target movement speed, thereby achieving the target movement speed and improving the control accuracy.

[0184] In some embodiments, the loader operation anti-shake control method further includes:

[0185] According to the current actual movement speed V of the boom cylinder 1 cur The difference between the speed and the target speed is used for PID adjustment;

[0186] The motor 8 drives the first hydraulic pump 6 based on torque control to adjust the flow rate of hydraulic oil supplied to the boom cylinder 1 .

[0187] In this embodiment, the actual movement speed V of the boom cylinder 1 is cur PID control achieves closed-loop control, improving control accuracy. This precisely controls the flow of hydraulic oil into boom cylinder 1, thereby accurately controlling the boom's lowering speed and effectively suppressing vibration during the loader's reverse movement. Furthermore, the torque-based control method employed for motor 8, using torque as the control output parameter, ensures smoother operation of boom cylinder 1 and reduces vibration.

[0188] Secondly, the present disclosure provides a loader operation anti-shake system, which is characterized by being used to implement the loader operation anti-shake control method of the above embodiment.

The boom lowering speed is adjusted in real time according to the opening information of the operating handle 18 and the current driving speed information, and the hydraulic oil flow can be accurately controlled to control the boom lowering speed. This can reduce the problem of vehicle shaking under such conditions, improve the operator's operating comfort, and avoid the low efficiency and delayed action caused by the hydraulic valve control method.

[0194] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the loader further comprises:

[0199] This embodiment uses the weighing sensor 17, the first displacement sensor 3 and the vehicle speed sensor 16 to obtain the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 in real time according to the current travel speed information when the boom is dropped in the unloaded state and the vehicle is in the reverse driving condition, and compares it with the actual movement speed V of the boom cylinder 1. cur Compared to accurately control the falling speed of the boom.

[0200] In some specific embodiments, as shown in Figure 1, the loader can be an electric or fuel-controlled loader. The electric loader also includes a battery pack for powering the loader.

[0201] The controller 5 (e.g., a vehicle control unit (VCU)) is connected to the vehicle speed sensor 16, load cell 17, first displacement sensor 3, and operating handle 18 via low-voltage signal connections. It also sends a drive control signal to the driver 9, controlling the motor 8 to drive the first hydraulic pump 6. Oil is supplied to the boom cylinder 1 through the first hydraulic valve 13, driving the boom up and down. The first displacement sensor 3 is used to detect the displacement of the boom cylinder 1. The driver issues a boom-lowering command via the operating handle 18.

[0202] As shown in Figure 4, the anti-shake control method for loader operation is as follows:

[0203] (1) The loader starts unloading and the material weight is fed back through the weighing sensor 17 to determine whether the vehicle is in an empty state;

[0204] (2) When the vehicle is in an unloaded state, the driver controls the vehicle to move backward, and the controller 5 (e.g., the vehicle controller VCU) calculates the vehicle speed based on the feedback information from the travel system drive motor 8;

[0205] (3) The driver simultaneously operates the handle 18 to control the boom to fall. The controller 5 (e.g., the vehicle control unit VCU) calculates the target movement speed of the boom cylinder 1 based on the opening information of the operating handle 18 and the current vehicle speed, and sets the upper and lower limit thresholds of the cylinder movement speed.
