Solution Overview
Problem
Vibrations in working machines, such as wheel loaders, are caused by resonance frequency waves generated by hydraulic systems, leading to unwanted mechanical vibrations and pulsations.

Identifying the resonance frequency and controlling the drive source, typically an electric motor, to counteract these waves by adjusting its rotation speed and displacement, thereby reducing or eliminating vibrations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the hydraulic pump operates at certain speed and displacement to meet flow demands, then hydraulic fluid flow to working functions is maintained, but resonance frequency waves are generated causing unwanted vibrations
Solution Approach 1:
The invention dynamically adjusts the rotation speed of the hydraulic pump motor based on real-time detection of resonance frequency waves. The control system continuously monitors hydraulic system conditions and modifies motor speed to avoid operating at resonance frequencies, thereby eliminating vibrations while maintaining required hydraulic flow through compensatory speed adjustments.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the operational parameters of the hydraulic pump by adjusting motor rotation speed away from resonance frequencies. The control system detects resonance conditions and modifies the speed parameter to counteract harmful vibrations, while maintaining sufficient hydraulic flow to meet working function demands.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the pump speed is adjusted to avoid resonance frequencies, then vibrations are reduced, but hydraulic fluid flow may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The invention employs a feedback control system that continuously monitors both vibration levels and hydraulic flow requirements. When resonance frequency waves are detected, the system adjusts motor speed to eliminate vibrations while simultaneously monitoring hydraulic flow demands and making compensatory adjustments to maintain sufficient fluid supply to working functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The control system dynamically balances two competing requirements by continuously adjusting motor speed based on real-time conditions. It modulates speed to avoid resonance frequencies while compensating for flow variations to ensure hydraulic working functions receive adequate fluid, thereby resolving the contradiction between vibration reduction and productivity maintenance.
