The present invention relates to the technical filed of engineering machinery, and in particular to a power transmission control method and device for a crane and the crane.
With rapid development of industrial technologies around the world, problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution are increasingly serious, and the hybrid power technology is regarded as one of the effective solutions for solving the problems of energy shortage and environmental pollution. A wheeled crane mostly travels in urban areas or among cities, but due to influence of road environment, frequent starting, acceleration, braking and climbing occur in the travelling process. In addition, the crane is heavy, and has a higher speed relative to other engineering machinery vehicles, so use of the traditional mechanical friction braking manner will cause waste of a large amount of kinetic energy. In the current automobile industry, mostly used is the oil-electric hybrid power technology, which is generally applied to limousines and buses but is not applicable to such super-tonnage engineering vehicle as the wheeled crane due to cost and driving force problems. In consideration that many hydraulic systems have the same characteristics as electric systems in some aspects, oil-hydraulic hybrid power becomes another choice for super-tonnage load-carrying vehicles. The wheeled crane has certain advantages in the aspect of oil-hydraulic hybrid power due to its own hydraulic system, so the oil-hydraulic hybrid power application for vehicle travelling can be accomplished by only slight system modification, and furthermore, the hydraulic system also can be applied to hoisting power for an upper structure.
However, during the research of applying oil-hydraulic hybrid power to the wheeled crane, it is found that the hydraulic system often has a large operating torque and its performance is not easy to control. When the hydraulic system is applied to a multi-gear vehicle, it is very likely to cause large influence on the vehicle if output control of the braking force and the driving force is unreasonable, and particularly when the difference of gear speed ratios is large, the difference of required torques is large too. Therefore, the demand-control concept of the torque of the hybrid power system is proposed, which is desired to be helpful in some extent in improving the travelling stability of the wheeled crane added with the parallel-type oil-hydraulic hybrid power system. Currently, domestic research on oil-hydraulic hybrid power is not deep enough, and particularly oil-hydraulic hybrid power has not been applied to such an engineering machinery product as the wheeled crane. Some mentioned control methods and steps are mostly applications of oil-electric hybrid power or applications of oil-hydraulic hybrid power to other engineering machinery vehicles. The torque control method in the prior art is summarized as follows:
A throttle pedal signal and a current vehicle speed signal are obtained through collection by a sensor, then the obtained throttle signal and vehicle speed signal are calculated and through calculation, a target driving torque of the vehicle is determined, and finally respective output torques of an engine and a motor are determined according to a certain algorithm. Such a control method ignores the influence of gears, without considering the problem that different gears generate power impact on a vehicle, and such a problem is particularly obvious for a hybrid power system with a front engine, which will reduce the service life of the hybrid power system and cause certain influence on driving comfort of a driver at the same time and driving safety is also affected.
In the prior control method steps, since hybrid power control is not actually made to such a vehicle as the wheeled crane, some characteristics of the crane itself are not considered, for example, the crane has large inertia, relatively high speed and many gears, and in the prior method, the problems of power impact generated in processes of energy storage and release and driving comfort of the driver are not considered. First, the crane has many forward gears and generally employs a multi-gear box, and correspondingly speed ratios of a gearbox are greatly different between a high gear and a low gear. For a hybrid power system with a front engine, the same torque provided by a secondary element will be increased by several or a dozen of times after being transferred to a transmission shaft, thus will generate a bigger power impact; Second, in the prior method steps, it is also not considered that at the moment of energy release completion, the problem of instantaneous driving force reduction due to sudden disappearance of the driving torque provided by the secondary element will cause power impact, which not only does not conform to the operation habit of the driver but also influences the driving comfort of the driver, and seriously, it will even influence judgment of the driver and affect safety;
Third, in the prior art method, the influence of the rotating speed on a recovery process is not considered. In the energy recovery process, the rotating speed of the secondary element is gradually reduced along with gradual energy recovery, when the rotating speed is reduced to the minimum effective rotating speed, a control program will turn off the secondary element to enable the displacement of the secondary element to return to zero, and if sudden turning off results in sudden reduction of an actual vehicle braking torque, the driver will feel vehicle jitter obviously, and even the driving safety will be influenced.

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below clearly and completely in combination with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part of, instead of all of, the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical solution of the present invention will be described below in multiple aspects in conjunction with various figures and embodiments.
Step 101, setting the maximum working displacement of a secondary element corresponding to each gear of the crane;
Step 102, determining the current gear state and specific gear of the crane;
Step 103, determining the working mode of the secondary element from the gear state, and setting the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element as the maximum working displacement corresponding to the specific gear.
In the hydraulic system, an element converting mechanical energy into hydraulic energy is known as a primary element, such as a hydraulic pump. An element capable of interconversion between hydraulic energy and mechanical energy is known as a secondary element, such as a hydraulic pump/motor and a hydraulic transformer.
The secondary element of the present invention may be a hydraulic pump/motor, and the displacement of the secondary element can be changed by changing the swing angle of its swash plate. The secondary element can rotate in two directions, and can work in four quadrants on a rotating speed-torque coordinate plane. It can work either in a hydraulic motor working condition or a hydraulic pump working condition.
The crane of the present invention can be a parallel hydraulic hybrid power vehicle, which means that an energy recovery system consisting of the secondary element and a hydraulic accumulator is added while reserving transmission chains of a traditional vehicle, thus forming dual-power drive. The two power sources can provide power simultaneously or individually, and two or more corresponding executive elements can drive a load simultaneously. An engine is not coupled to the secondary element in the hydraulic system directly, but coupled to a mechanical transmission system. In this way, it can operate in a hydraulic hybrid power vehicle mode, and also can travel like the traditional vehicle.
In one embodiment, the gear state is determined from a collected gear signal, the gear state including a neutral gear, a reverse gear and a forward gear. When the gear state is determined as the neutral gear or reverse gear, the secondary element is controlled to stop operation.
The travelling state of the crane is determined from the gear state and a collected throttle signal and brake signal. The travelling state includes acceleration and braking. When the travelling state is accelerating, a rotating speed signal of the secondary element and a pressure signal of the hydraulic accumulator are collected.
When the rotating speed of the secondary element is determined as exceeding a preset maximum rotating speed threshold or the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is lower than a minimum release pressure threshold, the secondary element is controlled to stop operation.
When the rotating speed of the secondary element is determined as not exceeding the preset maximum rotating speed threshold and the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is higher than the minimum release pressure threshold, the working displacement of the secondary element is calculated in real time, wherein the working displacement is less than or equal to the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element.
When the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is determined to be lower than a preset buffer pressure threshold, the working displacement of the secondary element is multiplied by a preset first buffer coefficient to obtain an actual working displacement of the secondary element.
In one embodiment, when the travelling state is braking, a pressure signal of the hydraulic accumulator and a rotating speed signal of a transmission shaft are acquired. When the rotating speed of the transmission shaft is not determined within a preset recovery rotating speed range or the hydraulic accumulator is in a full state, the secondary element is controlled to stop operation.
When the rotating speed of the transmission shaft is determined within the preset recovery rotating speed range and the hydraulic accumulator is in a non-full state, the working displacement of the secondary element is calculated in real time, wherein the working displacement is less than or equal to the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element.
When a forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft is determined within a preset buffer rotating speed range, the working displacement of the secondary element is multiplied by a preset second buffer coefficient to obtain an actual working displacement of the secondary element, and when the forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft is the minimum effective rotating speed, the actual working displacement of the secondary element is reduced to zero.
According to the power transmission control method for the crane of the present invention, demand control is performed on energy recovery and release, a maximum demand value of the displacement of the secondary element is scaled at different gears through experiments, then a gear signal is collected, and the maximum value at the current gear is determined as a limit to the maximum braking or driving torque at this gear.
Throttle and brake signals are collected to distinguish whether the vehicle is in an acceleration or deceleration state, and the brake signal is preferential. If the vehicle is in the acceleration state, a final acceleration control signal is obtained by a certain algorithm according to the throttle signal, the pressure of the energy accumulator and the like. If the vehicle is in the deceleration state, a final brake control signal is obtained by an algorithm according to the brake signal, the rotating speed of the transmission shaft and the like.
According to the power transmission control method for the crane of the present invention, the gear signal of a gearbox, the pressure signal of the energy accumulator, the rotating speed signal of the transmission shaft and the like are incorporated into control of the secondary element, instead of solely employing the throttle or brake signal to directly control the displacement of the secondary element, thus achieving real demand control, therefore, not only can release and use of the recovered energy be efficiently achieved, but also power impact caused by gear shift, energy storage and energy release completion is reduced as much as possible, the operation comfort of the driver can be improved to a certain extent and the whole hybrid power system can be protected.
Step 201, determining the current vehicle is in a neutral gear state, a reverse gear state or a forward gear state from signals collected by a sensor. If the vehicle is determined in the forward gear state, the method proceeds to step 211.
Step 211, looking up a table according to the calculated gear value to obtain a displacement attenuation coefficient, and then calculating with both a maximum displacement value of the secondary element and the displacement attenuation coefficient to obtain the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element at the current gear.
Step 202, if the vehicle is in the neutral or reverse state, allowing the hybrid power system not to participate working, specifically, a clutch being disengaged, an energy charging/discharge switch being turned off and the displacement of the secondary element being 0.
Step 203, determining whether a brake pedal is stepped on.
Step 204, determining whether the rotating speed is in an effective range, and determining whether the vehicle is currently in a starting or accelerating state from a throttle voltage signal and front and back pressure signals of a brake valve collected by the sensor. If the brake pedal is not stepped on and the throttle pedal signal is higher than a minimum effective value, the system is in an accelerating state. Whether a design range is exceeded is determined from a rotating speed value of the secondary element collected by the sensor to protect the secondary element, and if yes, the system alarms and stops working.
Steps 205, 206, 207 and 210, judging according to a pressure value of the energy accumulator collected by the sensor, if the pressure value is higher than the minimum release pressure, performing the next step, and if the pressure value is lower than the minimum release pressure, allowing the system not to work. A driving torque needed by the current secondary element is calculated according to a maximum acceleration of the vehicle, a vehicle mass, a wheel diameter, a gearbox transmission ratio, an axle speed ratio, a power coupler speed ratio and a throttle signal.
Whether the system goes into a buffer state is determined from the pressure signal of the energy accumulator collected by the sensor, and if the current pressure value is lower than a set buffer pressure value, it indicates the system has entered the buffer state, and otherwise, the system is in a normal state.
Step 212, if the system is in the normal state, calculating a demand displacement of the secondary element according to the demand torque value obtained in the above step and the current pressure value of the energy accumulator. If the system is in the buffer state, a displacement is calculated according to a previously obtained demand torque value and the set buffer pressure value at first, then the displacement value is multiplied by a buffer coefficient to obtain a demand displacement value of the secondary element under the buffer state, the buffer coefficient is calculated according to three pieces of data, i.e., the current pressure of the energy accumulator, the minimum effective pressure of the energy accumulator, and the buffer pressure of the energy accumulator, and so that the displacement of the secondary element is gradually reduced with energy release after the system has entered the buffer mode, thus effectively reducing the impact generated from instant power loss.
Step 213, comparing the obtained demand displacement value of the secondary element with the obtained maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element at the current gear. If the demand displacement is less than the maximum allowable displacement, the demand displacement is used as the final displacement of the secondary element, and if the demand displacement is greater than the maximum displacement, the maximum displacement is used as the final displacement of the secondary element.
Step 215, according to a relation between the current and displacement of the secondary element, converting the displacement into a current value based on a corresponding formula to output the current value to an electromagnetic valve. D is a final control signal of the secondary element.
The control method in the above embodiment can reduce impact generated in the gear shift process and impact generated immediately before the end of the energy release process, and can also improve the driving comfort and safety of the driver, so as to achieve the purpose of releasing and using recovered energy reasonably and efficiently.
Step 301, determining whether the current vehicle is in a neutral gear state, a reverse gear state or a forward gear state according to a signal collected by a sensor; if the current vehicle is in the forward gear state, proceeding to step 311.
Step 311, looking up a table according to the calculated gear value to obtain a displacement attenuation coefficient, and then calculating with both a maximum displacement value of the secondary element and the displacement attenuation coefficient to obtain the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element at the current gear.
Step 303, judging according to a brake pedal signal collected by the sensor, and if the brake pedal is stepped on, the vehicle is determined in the brake state.
Step 304, judging according to a forward rotating speed of a gearbox collected by the sensor, if the rotating speed of the transmission shaft is within an allowable range, performing the next step, and otherwise the vehicle does not have energy recovery conditions, allowing the system not to work.
Step 305, determining whether the pressure of the energy accumulator is saturated from the pressure value of the energy accumulator collected by the sensor, and if the pressure is saturated, allowing the system not to work.
Steps 307 and 310, calculating a braking torque currently needed by the current secondary element according to a collected brake pedal percentage, maximum vehicle brake strength, vehicle mass, wheel diameter, and transmission system speed ratio.
Step 306, controlling the buffer state by the forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft, if the forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft is within the set buffer state range, allowing the vehicle to go into the buffer state, and otherwise, allowing the vehicle to be in the normal state.
If the vehicle is in the normal state, the demand displacement is calculated according to the obtained demand torque and the current pressure value of the energy accumulator.
Step 309, if the vehicle is in the buffer state, multiplying the displacement value calculated for the normal state by a buffer formula to obtain a demand displacement value under the buffer state.
The buffer formula is obtained by calculation according to the current forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft, the buffer rotating speed of the secondary element and the minimum effective rotating speed of the secondary element; the displacement of the secondary element is gradually reduced with the reduction of the rotating speed, the displacement is just reduced to zero when the rotating speed is reduced to the minimum effective rotating speed, so that the buffer effect can be achieved, not to cause power impact resulting form instantly cutting off the energy recovery system.
Step 312, comparing the obtained demand displacement value with the maximum allowable displacement value of the secondary element under the current gear state at first, if the former is greater than the later, determining the later as the final demand displacement, and otherwise, determining the former as the final demand displacement.
Steps 313 and 314, assigning a corresponding current value to the electromagnetic valve according to the corresponding relation between the current and the displacement of the secondary element. D is a final control signal of the secondary element.
According to the control method in the above embodiments, the energy recovery process can be achieved in combination with the gear state and the buffer state, thus not only can energy be effectively recovered, but also constant torque control can be achieved, and the driving comfort and safety of the driver are improved to a certain extent.
According to the control method in the above embodiment, a hybrid power system is added according to the characteristics that the crane product is large in inertia, frequent in starting and braking, and relatively high in speed, so as to recover and reuse energy of the product, so that energy can be used and recovered effectively and reasonably, and the operation habit of the driver is not changed. The problem of power impact that may be generated in the gear shift process due to addition of the energy recovery and reuse system is solved, the driving comfort and safety are improved, and with addition of the buffer stage, constant torque control is basically achieved and stability of driving force for the vehicle is ensured.

The gear obtaining unit 412 is configured to determine the current gear state and specific gear of the crane. The displacement controlling unit 413 is configured to determine the working mode of the secondary element according to the gear state, and stet the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element as the maximum working displacement corresponding to the specific gear.
In one embodiment, the gear obtaining unit 412 can determine the gear state from a collected gear signal, the gear state including a neutral gear, a reverse gear and a forward gear. When determining the gear state is the neutral gear or reverse gear, the secondary element is controlled to stop operation.
The gear obtaining unit 412 can determine the travelling state of the crane from the gear state and a collected throttle signal and brake signal. The travelling state includes accelerating and braking. When the travelling state is acceleration, the displacement control unit 413 collects a rotating speed signal of the secondary element and a pressure signal of the hydraulic accumulator.
When determining the rotating speed of the secondary element exceeds a preset maximum rotating speed threshold or the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is lower than a minimum release pressure threshold, the displacement controlling unit 413 controls the secondary element to stop operation. When determining the rotating speed of the secondary element does not exceed the preset maximum rotating speed threshold and the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is higher than the minimum release pressure threshold, the displacement controlling unit 413 calculates the working displacement of the secondary element, wherein the working displacement is less than or equal to the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element. In one embodiment, when the displacement controlling unit 413 determines the pressure of the hydraulic accumulator is lower than a preset buffer pressure threshold, the displacement controlling unit 413 multiplies the working displacement of the secondary element by a preset buffer coefficient to obtain an actual working displacement of the secondary element.
When the travelling state is braking, the displacement controlling unit 413 collected a pressure signal of the hydraulic accumulator and a rotating speed signal of the transmission shaft. When determining the rotating speed of the transmission shaft is not within a preset recovery rotating speed range or the hydraulic accumulator is in a full state, the displacement controlling unit 413 controls the secondary element to stop operation.
When determining the rotating speed of the transmission shaft is within the preset recovery rotating speed range and the hydraulic accumulator is in a non-full state, the displacement controlling unit 413 calculates the working displacement of the secondary element, wherein the working displacement is less than or equal to the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element.
In one embodiment, when determining a forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft is within a preset buffer rotating speed range, the displacement controlling unit 413 multiplies the working displacement of the secondary element by a preset buffer coefficient to obtain an actual working displacement of the secondary element, and when the forward rotating speed of the transmission shaft is the minimum effective rotating speed, reduces the actual working displacement of the secondary element to zero.
The present invention provides a parallel oil-hydraulic hybrid power crane, including the power transmission control device for the crane as described above.
According to the power transmission control method and device for the crane and the crane of the present invention, in consideration of the characteristics that such an engineering machinery product as the crane is high in mass and has many gears, the maximum displacement of the secondary element is controlled for different gears, thus the power impact generated by the hybrid power system during gear shift can be effectively reduced. As the buffer mode is added in the energy release and use processes, the power output of the secondary element can be slowly reduced to zero with continuous release of energy, thus avoiding the influence on a vehicle due to loss of instant power generated at the moment of energy release completion and improving the comfort and safety of the driver. In consideration of the influence of the rotating speed on the recovery process, the buffer mode is added in the energy recovery process, thus avoiding vehicle jitter due to instable power resulting from the vehicle at low speed or a system suddenly disconnected, and improving the comfort and safety of the driver.
