Description

Field of the Invention



[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment control, in particular to a hydraulic-pressure-based control system and method, lifting equipment, and crawler-type traveling equipment.

Background of the Invention



[0002] Currently, the hydraulic-pressure-based control system has become a key application technology of mechanical equipment due to its advantages of energy saving, high energy density, and small number of hydraulic components. Its application scope covers from super-large-tonnage crane vehicles to large-tonnage and medium-tonnage vehicles, and the hydraulic-pressure-based control system replaces the traditional open system. Crawler-type traveling equipment is also widely used in the hydraulic-pressure-based control system for traveling drive.

[0003] During the operation of mechanical equipment, the closed pump and motor have internal leakage. It is assumed that the oil discharge port of the closed pump is a T port, the oil discharge port of the motor is a U port, and the sum of the leakage amounts of the T port and the U port is ΔQ, ΔQ will cause the weight to fall, and the falling speed is proportional to ΔQ : ΔV = αΔQ , wherein α is a constant. When the mechanical equipment falls, the closed pump itself will output the flow Q, and the falling speed V of the weight is: V = αQ + Q). When the active output of the closed pump is Q = 0, the speed reaches a minimum, which is completely determined by the leakage ΔQ, that is, V = αΔQ. However, if the internal leakage ΔQ is large, the speed V is still large. When the load of the mechanical equipment (such as the lifting equipment or the crawler-type traveling equipment) is relatively large, such as the weight lifted by the lifting equipment is heavy or the crawler-type traveling equipment is on a large slope, the system pressure increases, and the leakage amounts ΔQ of the closed pump and motor are relatively large at this time, resulting in no micro-motion when these working conditions require micro-motion. In this way, as soon as the brake cylinder is opened when the lifting equipment lifts the weight, the weight slides down quickly, which may cause the weight to bump into or crush other objects. Or the crawler-type traveling equipment has a fast downward speed at the beginning, and cannot reduce the speed to achieve micro-motion, so the maneuverability is not good. Therefore, the safety of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system in the prior art has a big problem.

[0030] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a hydraulic-pressure-based control system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a hydraulic-pressure-based control system, applied to mechanical equipment, the mechanical equipment including a hoisting mechanism or a travelling mechanism, and the control system may include:

a handle 100, which is displaced according to an operation by a user, a displacement direction of the handle 100 corresponding to an action direction of the mechanical equipment;

a closed circuit 200, wherein a circulation direction of hydraulic oil in the closed circuit 200 includes a first circulation direction and a second circulation direction; when the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the first circulation direction, mechanical equipment performs an ascending action; and when the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the second circulation direction, the mechanical equipment performs a descending action; and

a controller 300, which is connected to the handle 100 and the closed circuit 200, and is configured to:

judge whether the mechanical equipment performs a descending action according to the displacement direction of the handle 100;

judge whether the opening degree of the handle 100 is within a first preset range when it is determined that the mechanical equipment performs a descending action;

control the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction when it is determined that the opening degree of the handle 100 is within the first preset range, so as to realise micro-motion control by the hydraulic-pressure-based control system.



[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the mechanical equipment may include, but is not limited to, lifting equipment or crawler-type traveling equipment, the lifting equipment including a hoisting mechanism, and the crawler-type traveling equipment including a traveling mechanism. The hoisting mechanism of the lifting equipment may control ascending and descending of the lifting equipment, the traveling mechanism of the crawler-type traveling equipment may control advancing and retracting of the crawler-type traveling equipment, and the crawler-type traveling equipment may include four traveling states: uphill advance, uphill retreat, downhill advance and downhill retreat.

[0032] The hydraulic-pressure-based control system of an embodiment of the present application includes a handle 100, a closed circuit 200, and a controller 300. The controller 300 is connected to the handle 100 and the closed circuit 200, respectively.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a handle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 100 may be displaced according to a user's operation, and the controller 300 may determine the action direction of the mechanical equipment according to the displacement direction of the handle 100. Wherein, the displacement direction may include, but is not limited to, front, back, left, right, etc. For example, it is assumed that displacement of the handle 100 to the left corresponds to an ascending action of the mechanical equipment, and displacement of the handle 100 to the right corresponds to a descending action of the mechanical equipment. When the user moves the handle 100 to the left, the mechanical equipment performs an ascending action; when the user moves the handle 100 to the right, the mechanical equipment performs a descending action.

[0034] In the present embodiment, the handle 100 has a certain idle stroke. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 100 has no output within a range of 0 to β. When the angle of β is reached, the controller 300 may output a corresponding current signal to the closed circuit 200 according to the opening degree of the handle 100.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil in the closed circuit 200 may include a first circulation direction and a second circulation direction. When the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the first circulation direction, the mechanical equipment performs an ascending action; and when the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the second circulation direction, the mechanical equipment performs a descending action.

[0036] For example, the displacement of the handle 100 to the right corresponds to a descending direction of the mechanical equipment.

[0037] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a function relationship between the opening degree of the handle and the current input to a closed circuit of a controller in the prior art. As shown in the FIG.3, in the prior art, the controller 300 controls the hydraulic oil of the closed circuit 200 to be output in the second circulation direction when acquiring the action of displacement of the handle 100 to the right, so that the circulation direction of the closed circuit 200 is the second circulation direction, further causing the mechanical equipment to perform a descending action. The handle 100 has no output within the range of 0 to β. When the angle of β is reached, the controller 300 may input a minimum current imin to the closed circuit 200. As the opening degree of the handle 100 increases, the current input by the controller 300 to the closed circuit 200 increases, so does the descending speed of the mechanical equipment. When the opening degree of the handle 100 reaches the maximum opening degree, the current input to the closed circuit 200 by the controller 300 reaches the maximum current imax, and at this time, the flow of the hydraulic oil of the closed circuit and the descending speed of the mechanical equipment reach the maximum. The currents output by the above processes are all co-currents. Since there is internal leakage in both the motor and the closed pump in the closed circuit 200, the higher the pressure of the closed circuit, the greater the amount of internal leakage, the corresponding phenomena are: as soon as the brake cylinder is opened when the lifting equipment lifts the weight, the weight slides down quickly, which may cause the weight to bump into or crush other objects; or the crawler-type traveling equipment has a fast downward speed at the beginning, and cannot reduce the speed to achieve micro-motion, so the maneuverability is not good.

[0038] Therefore, after the controller 300 of the embodiment of the present application acquires the action of displacement of the handle 100 to the right, when the opening degree of the handle 100 is within a range such as γ, the closed circuit 200 is controlled to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction such that the circulation direction of the closed circuit 200 is the first circulation direction (i.e., the direction in which the mechanical equipment performs the ascending action), and the output hydraulic oil causes the mechanical equipment to perform the ascending action, while the internal leakage of the closed pump and the motor in the closed circuit 200 causes the mechanical equipment to perform the descending action. It is assumed that the sum of the internal leakage amounts of the closed pump and the motor of the closed circuit 200 is ΔQ which causes the weight to fall, and the falling speed of the weight is proportional to ΔQ: ΔV = αΔQ , wherein α is a constant. When the mechanical equipment falls, the closed pump itself outputs the flow Q, at this moment, the descending speed is V = αQ - Q), wherein Q is the flow output by the controller 300 in the first circulation direction of the closed circuit 200, when Q = ΔQ, then the descending speed of the mechanical equipment can be controlled to be zero, the value of Q is gradually decreased, and the descending speed can be gradually increased to achieve controlled micro-motion of the speed from zero. When Q = 0, the speed is the speed caused entirely by internal leakage. If the descending speed needs to continue to increase, the controller then controls the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil in the second circulation direction, and the speed is restored to V = αQ + Q). FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a functional relationship between the opening degree of the handle and the current input to the closed circuit by the controller in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the handle 100 has no output within a range of 0-β. When the angle of β is reached, the controller 300 may input the current ia to the closed circuit 200. Wherein, ia is determined by the leakage amount of the closed pump at the current operating condition of the closed circuit 200, ia causes the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction, and the output flow Q is equal to the sum of the internal leakage amounts of the closed circuit at the current operating condition. As the opening degree of the handle 100 increases to γ, the current input by the controller 300 to the closed circuit 200 is gradually reduced to a minimum current imin. If the opening degree of the handle 100 is increased after reaching γ, the controller controls the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil in the second circulation direction, and the current is increased stepwise with the opening degree of the handle 100 from the minimum current imin until reaching the maximum current imax. In the above control, the opening degree of the handle 100 is a micro-motion region in the range of β∼γ, wherein the range of β∼γ is a first preset range in the embodiment of the present application. At the angle of β, the descending speed of the mechanical equipment is completely zero; when the opening degree is greater than the angle of γ, the speed is determined by the amount of internal leakage of the closed circuit 200, and the descending speed of the mechanical equipment in this range is controlled according to the opening degree ratio of the handle 100, and the maneuverability is good.

[0039] By the above technical solution, when the mechanical equipment performs a descending action, the closed circuit is controlled to output the hydraulic oil to the first circulation direction, i.e., a direction in which the mechanical equipment performs an ascending action, the output hydraulic oil can compensate for the speed decline caused by the leakage of the closed pump and the motor of the closed circuit to realize the micro-motion control of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system, which can improve the maneuverability of the mechanical equipment, reduce the opening impact, and thus improve the safety of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the controller 300 may be further configured to:

control the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil to the second circulation direction when the opening degree of the handle 100 is within the second preset range;

wherein, the opening degree of the second preset range is greater than the opening degree of the first preset range.



[0041] As shown in FIG. 4, the first preset range in the embodiment of the present application is the range of βγ, and the opening degree of the handle 100 is a micro-motion region in the range of βγ. The controller 300 controls the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction such that the circulation direction of the closed circuit 200 is the first circulation direction (i.e., the direction in which the mechanical equipment performs the ascending action) to realize the micro-motion control of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system.

[0042] The second preset range in the embodiment of the present application is that the opening degree of the handle 100 is greater than the angle of γ. When the opening degree is within the second preset range, i.e., the opening degree of the handle 100 is greater than the angle of γ, the controller controls the closed circuit 200 to output the hydraulic oil to the second circulation direction. At this time, the speed of the mechanical equipment is determined by the amount of internal leakage of the closed circuit 200, and the descending speed of the mechanical equipment is controlled in accordance with the opening degree ratio of the handle 100, and the maneuverability is good.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the displacement direction of the handle 100 includes a first displacement direction and a second displacement direction, the first displacement direction corresponding to the ascending action of the mechanical equipment, and the second displacement direction corresponding to the descending action of the mechanical equipment.

[0044] Specifically, the handle 100 can be displaced according to the operation of the user, and the controller 300 can determine the action direction of the mechanical equipment according to the displacement direction of the handle 100. Wherein, the displacement direction may include, but is not limited to, front, back, left, right, etc. For example, it is assumed that the first displacement direction of the handle 100 is displacement to the left and the second displacement direction is displacement to the right. The displacement of the handle 100 to the left corresponds to the ascending action of the mechanical equipment, and displacement of the handle 100 to the right corresponds to the descending action of the mechanical equipment. When the user moves the handle 100 to the left, the mechanical equipment performs the ascending action; when the user moves the handle 100 to the right, the mechanical equipment performs the descending action.

[0045] It should be noted that the displacement direction in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned front, rear, left and right, but may be any other displacement direction corresponding to the action direction of the mechanical equipment. Also, the displacement direction of the handle 100 is not limited to two displacement directions, and a plurality of displacement directions corresponding to the action direction of the mechanical equipment may be provided as necessary.

the working pipelines 230, which connect the motor 210 with the closed pump 220, the working pipelines 230 including a high-pressure working pipeline and a low-pressure working pipeline.



[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the closed circuit 200 generally consists of a motor 210 and a closed pump 220. The motor 210 and the closed pump 220 are connected by working pipelines 230. In operation of the closed circuit 200, at least one of the working pipelines 230 is a high-pressure working pipeline and the other is a low-pressure working pipeline. The closed pump 220 drives the motor 210 to perform forward or reverse rotation, and the motor 210 drives the hoisting mechanism or the traveling mechanism of the mechanical equipment to work by forward or reverse rotation.

[0050] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of hydraulic oil circulation of the closed circuit according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 6, when the mechanical equipment performs an ascending action, the first working oil port P1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the first motor oil port A of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the first working oil port P1-the first working pipeline 231-the first motor oil port A, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the ascending action of the mechanical equipment. The hydraulic oil is then outputted from the second motor oil port B, passes the path of the second motor oil port B-the second working pipeline 232-the second working oil port S1, is sucked into the closed pump through the second working oil port S1, and is outputted through the first working oil port P1, and the above process repeats. The hydraulic oil circulation direction is shown in FIG. 6.

[0051] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of hydraulic oil circulation of the closed circuit according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, when the mechanical equipment performs the descending action, the second working oil port S1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the second motor oil port B of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the second working oil port S1-the second working pipeline 232-the second motor oil port B, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the descending action of the mechanical equipment. The hydraulic oil is then outputted from the first motor oil port A, passes the path of the first motor oil port A-the first working pipeline 231-the first working oil port P1, is sucked into the closed pump through the first working oil port P1, and is outputted through the second working oil port S1, and the above process repeats. The hydraulic oil circulation direction is shown in FIG. 7.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the closed pump 220 may include:

a variable pump 221 for outputting hydraulic oil; and

a variable pump control oil path 222 connected to the variable pump 221 for determining an output direction and a discharge amount of hydraulic oil of the variable pump 221.



[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the variable pump control oil path 222 may include a first pilot proportional valve Y1, a second pilot proportional valve Y2, and a variable adjusting mechanism;

[0054] First ends of the first pilot proportional valve Y1 and the second pilot proportional valve Y2 are respectively connected with two ends of the variable adjusting mechanism, second ends of the first pilot proportional valve Y1 and the second pilot proportional valve Y2 are respectively connected with an oil replenishment device; the push rod of the variable adjusting mechanism is connected with the swash plate of the variable pump 221 to adjust the output direction and the discharge amount of the hydraulic oil.

[0055] Specifically, the variable pump control oil path 222 is used to determine an output direction and a discharge amount of the hydraulic oil of the variable pump 221. The variable pump 221 in the closed pump 220 includes a first working oil port P1, a second working oil port S1, and a closed pump oil discharge port T. The variable pump control oil path includes a first pilot proportional valve Y1, a second pilot proportional valve Y2, and a variable adjusting mechanism. The push rod of the variable adjusting mechanism is connected with the swash plate of the variable pump 221. The input current values of the first pilot proportional valve Y1 and the second pilot proportional valve Y2 can be adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the operating handle, since the output amount of the pilot proportional valve varies with the change in the current value. Therefore, the greater the value of the current input by the first pilot proportional valve Y1, the higher the forward rotational speed of the motor 210, and the greater the value of the current input by the second pilot proportional valve Y2, the higher the reverse rotational speed of the motor 210. By controlling the variable pump 221 through the variable pump control oil path 222, the hydraulic oil flow of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system can be controlled, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the motor 210.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first pilot proportional valve Y1 is energized, the hydraulic oil is outputted by the first working oil port P1, the motor 210 can drive the mechanical equipment to perform an ascending action; when the second pilot proportional valve Y2 is energized, the hydraulic oil is output by the second working oil port S1, and the motor 210 can drive the mechanical equipment to perform a descending action.

[0057] In particular, when the first pilot proportional valve Y1 is energized, the first working oil port P1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the first motor oil port A of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the first working oil port P1-the first working pipeline 231-the first motor oil port A, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the ascending action of the mechanical equipment. The hydraulic oil is then outputted from the second motor oil port B, passes the path of the second motor oil port B-the second working pipeline 232-the second working oil port S1, is sucked into the closed pump through the second working oil port S1, and is outputted through the first working oil port P1, and the above process repeats. The hydraulic oil circulation direction is shown in FIG. 6.

[0058] When the second pilot proportional valve Y2 is energized, the second working oil port S 1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the second motor oil port B of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the second working oil port S 1-the second working pipeline 232-the second motor oil port B, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the descending action of the mechanical equipment. The hydraulic oil is then outputted from the first motor oil port A, passes the path of the first motor oil port A-the first working pipeline 231-the first working oil port P1, is sucked into the closed pump through the first working oil port P 1, and is outputted through the second working oil port S 1, and the above process repeats. The hydraulic oil circulation direction is shown in FIG. 7.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, when the opening degree of the handle 100 is within the first preset range, the opening degree of the handle 100 is in the micro-motion region. For example, when the opening degree of the handle 100 reaches an angle of β, the controller 300 controls the first pilot proportional valve Y1 to be energized, the first working oil port P1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the first motor oil port A of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the first working oil port P1-the first working pipeline 231-the first motor oil port A, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the ascending action of the mechanical equipment. As the opening degree of the handle 100 increases to a second preset range, e.g., the opening degree of the handle 100 reaches an angle of γ, the current of the first pilot proportional valve Y1 decreases stepwise to a minimum current imin. As the opening degree of the handle 100 is increased stepwise, the controller 300 controls the second pilot proportional valve Y2 to be energized, the second working oil port S 1 outputs the hydraulic oil, the hydraulic oil reaches the second motor oil port B of the motor 210 and enters the motor 210 through a path of the second working oil port S 1-the second working pipeline 232-the second motor oil port B, and the motor 210 is rotated to achieve the descending action of the mechanical equipment.

[0060] In this way, when the opening degree of the handle 100 is within the first preset range, the controller 300 may control the closed circuit to output the hydraulic oil to the first circulation direction (i.e., a direction in which the mechanical equipment performs the ascending action), the output hydraulic oil can compensate for the speed decline caused by the leakage of the closed pump and the motor of the closed circuit to realize the micro-motion control of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system, which can improve the maneuverability of the mechanical equipment, reduce the opening impact, and thus improve the safety of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system. When the opening degree of the handle 100 is within a second preset range, the controller 300 may control the closed circuit to output the hydraulic oil in a second circulation direction (i.e., a direction in which the mechanical equipment performs a descending action). In a second preset range, the speed of the mechanical equipment is determined by the amount of internal leakage of the closed circuit 200. In this range, the descending speed of the mechanical equipment is controlled in accordance with the opening degree ratio of the handle 100, and the maneuverability is good.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 5, in an embodiment of the present application, the closed circuit 200 may further include:
a pressure sensor 240, which is connected to the high-pressure working pipeline for obtaining a system pressure of the closed circuit.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, the load of the mechanical equipment is different under different operating conditions, so that the amount of internal leakage ΔQ of the closed circuit 200 is different, so that the current ia input to the closed circuit 200 by the controller 300 is different. Therefore, the value of ΔQ is related to the system pressure of the closed circuit 200, thus the pressure sensor 240 may be connected at the high-pressure working pipeline of the closed circuit 200 to obtain the system pressure of the closed circuit.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the controller 300 may be further configured to:
determine a current value input to the closed pump 220 based on a system pressure of the closed circuit obtained by the pressure sensor 240.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the relationship between the ΔQ and the system pressure P can be obtained experimentally, i.e., ΔQ = f(P) so as to determine the relationship between ia and the system pressure P, ia = f1(P). Accordingly, the current value ia input by the controller 300 to the closed-loop 200 can be determined based on the system pressure obtained by the pressure sensor 240. In one example, the controller 300 can determine ia from the last memorization of the system pressure P before the mechanical equipment performs the descending action to achieve precise micro-motion descending control.

[0065] Embodiments of the present application allow for greater accuracy in the micro-motion control of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system by providing the pressure sensor 240.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, when the motor 210 drives the hoisting mechanism of the mechanical equipment to work, the first working pipeline 231 is a high-pressure working pipeline, and the pressure sensor 240 may be provided on the first working pipeline 231.

[0067] Specifically, when the mechanical equipment is lifting equipment, the mechanical equipment includes a hoisting mechanism, and the motor 210 drives the hoisting mechanism of the mechanical equipment to hoist up or hoist down. Therefore, when the motor 210 drives the hoisting mechanism of the mechanical equipment to work, the first working pipeline 231 is a high-pressure working pipeline, and only one pressure sensor 240 is required to be provided on the first working pipeline 231 (i.e., the high-pressure working pipeline).

[0068] In the present embodiment, when the motor 210 drives the traveling mechanism of the mechanical equipment to work, the first working pipeline 231 or the second working pipeline 232 is a high-pressure working pipeline; the pressure sensor 240 may include a first pressure sensor and a second pressure sensor (not shown), the first pressure sensor may be arranged on the first working pipeline; a second pressure sensor may be arranged on the second working pipeline.

[0069] In particular, when the mechanical equipment is crawler-type traveling equipment, the mechanical equipment includes a traveling structure, the motor 210 drives the traveling mechanism of the mechanical equipment to go uphill, downhill, forward and backward, therefore, the high-low-pressure working pipelines of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system of the crawler-type traveling equipment are not fixed, the high-pressure working pipeline may be the first working pipeline 231 or the second working pipeline 232, therefore, two pressure sensors (not shown in the figure) need to be provided. In this way, it is possible to obtain the system pressure of the closed circuit 200 by the mechanical equipment during descending in any operating condition, and to improve the accuracy of the current value input by the controller 300 to the closed circuit 200.

[0070] FIG. 8 is a structural schematic diagram of the closed circuit according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8, in an embodiment of the present application, the closed circuit 200 may further include:
a rotational speed sensor 250, which is arranged on the motor 210 or a decelerator for acquiring a rotational speed of the motor 210.

[0071] The controller 300 may be further configured to:
adjust the current value input to the closed pump 220 according to the rotational speed of the motor 210 acquired by the rotational speed sensor 250.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, a rotational speed sensor 250 may also be added to the motor 210 or decelerator to establish a relationship between the opening degree value of the handle 100 and the desired descending speed. When the mechanical equipment descends, the controller can detect the actual rotational speed of the motor 210 according to the actual position of the handle 100, compare the actual rotational speed of the motor 210 with the desired rotational speed, when the actual rotational speed of the motor 210 does not coincide with the desired rotational speed, the controller 300 adjusts the current value input to the closed pump 220. For example, if the desired rotational speed is 0.5 m/s and the actual rotational speed obtained by the rotational speed sensor 250 is 0.6 m/s, the rotational speed of the motor needs to be regulated. If the opening degree of the handle 100 at this time is in the first preset range, i.e., the micro-motion region, it is necessary to increase the current value inputted to the closed pump 220, i.e., increase the ascending speed of the mechanical equipment, to decrease the descending speed of the mechanical equipment; if the opening degree of the handle 100 is within the second preset range at this time, it is necessary to reduce the current value input to the closed pump 220, i.e., reduce the descending speed of the mechanical equipment, thereby achieving a precise control of the rotational speed.

[0073] It should be noted that the rotational speed sensor 250 of the present embodiment may be provided on the motor 210 or the decelerator, but may also be provided on other devices that can obtain the actual rotational speed of the motor 210.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the closed circuit may further include:

a pressure sensor, which is connected with the high-pressure working pipeline for acquiring a system pressure of the closed circuit; and

a rotational speed sensor, which is arranged on the motor or a decelerator for acquiring a rotational speed of the motor;

the controller is further configured to:

determine a current value input to the closed pump according to a system pressure of the closed circuit acquired by the pressure sensor; and

perform closed-loop correction on the current value according to the motor rotational speed acquired by the rotational speed sensor.



[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the relationship between ΔQ and the system pressure P can be obtained experimentally, i.e., ΔQ = f(P) so as to determine the relationship between ia and the system pressure P, ia = f1(P). Thus, the current value ia input by the controller to the closed circuit can be determined based on the system pressure obtained by the pressure sensor.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, on the basis of obtaining the pressure of the system and obtaining the value of the current input by the controller to the closed circuit, it is also possible to add a rotational speed sensor to the motor or the decelerator to establish the relationship between the opening degree value of the handle and the desired descending speed. While the mechanical equipment descends, the controller can detect the actual rotational speed of the motor according to the actual position of the handle, compare the actual rotational speed of the motor with the desired rotational speed, when the actual rotational speed of the motor does not coincide with the desired rotational speed, the controller adjusts the current value input to the closed pump. For example, if the desired rotational speed is 0.5 m/s, and the actual rotational speed obtained by the rotational speed sensor is 0.6 m/s, the rotational speed of the motor needs to be reduced. If the opening degree of the handle at this time is in the first preset range, i.e., the micro-motion region, it is necessary to increase the current value inputted to the closed pump, i.e., to increase the ascending speed of the mechanical equipment, to decrease the descending speed of the mechanical equipment; if the opening degree of the handle is in the second preset range at this time, it is necessary to reduce the current value input to the closed pump, i.e., to reduce the descending speed of the mechanical equipment. In this way, closed-loop correction of the control value monitored by the pressure sensor can be achieved, thereby achieving a more accurate control of the rotational speed.

[0077] The embodiments of the present application implement both the rotational speed sensor and the pressure sensor, monitoring of the pressure sensor gives a control value, and closed-loop correction is performed using the rotational speed sensor to achieve more accurate control of the rotational speed.

[0078] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a hydraulic-pressure-based control method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 9, an embodiment of the present application provides a hydraulic-pressure-based control method, applied to a controller of mechanical equipment, the controller is connected with a handle and a closed circuit, the handle is displaced according to an operation by a user, a displacement direction of the handle corresponding to an action direction of the mechanical equipment, a circulation direction of hydraulic oil in the closed circuit includes a first circulation direction and a second circulation direction; when the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the first circulation direction, mechanical equipment performs an ascending action; and when the circulation direction of the hydraulic oil is the second circulation direction, the mechanical equipment performs a descending action, the control method including:

step S91, whether the mechanical equipment performs a descending action is judged according to the displacement direction of the handle;

step S92, whether the opening degree of the handle is within a first preset range is judged when it is determined that the mechanical equipment performs a descending action;

step S93, the closed circuit is controlled to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction when it is determined that the opening degree of the handle is within the first preset range, so as to realise micro-motion control by the hydraulic-pressure-based control system.



[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, after the controller of the embodiment of the present application acquires the action of displacement of the handle to the right, when the opening degree of the handle is within a range such as y, the closed circuit is controlled to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction such that the circulation direction of the closed circuit is the first circulation direction (i.e., the direction in which the mechanical equipment performs the ascending action), and the output hydraulic oil causes the mechanical equipment to perform the ascending action, while the internal leakage of the closed pump and the motor in the closed circuit causes the mechanical equipment to perform the descending action.

[0080] By the above technical solution, when the mechanical equipment performs a descending action, the closed circuit is controlled to output hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction, i.e., a direction in which the mechanical equipment performs an ascending action, the output hydraulic oil can compensate for the speed decline caused by the leakage of the closed pump and the motor of the closed circuit to realize the micro-motion control of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system, which can improve the maneuverability of the mechanical equipment, reduce the opening impact, and thus improve the safety of the hydraulic-pressure-based control system.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, when the opening degree of the handle is within the first preset range, the descending speed of the mechanical equipment satisfies the following formula:

wherein, V is the descending speed of the mechanical equipment, α is a constant, ΔQ is the sum of internal leakage amounts of the closed circuit, and Q is the flow output by the closed circuit.

[0082] In particular, it is assumed that the sum of the internal leakage amounts of the closed pump and the motor of the closed circuit 200 is ΔQ which causes the weight to fall with a falling speed proportional to ΔQ: ΔV = αΔQ , wherein α is a constant. When the mechanical equipment falls, the closed pump itself outputs the flow Q, at this moment, the descending speed is V = αQ - Q), wherein Q is the flow output by the controller 300 in the first circulation direction of the closed circuit 200, when Q = ΔQ, then the descending speed of the mechanical equipment can be controlled to be zero, the value of Q is gradually decreased, and the descending speed can be gradually increased to achieve controlled micro-motion of the speed from zero. When Q = 0, the speed is the speed caused entirely by internal leakage.

[0083] FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a hydraulic-pressure-based control method according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 10, in an embodiment of the present application, the control method may further include:

step S94, when the opening degree of the handle is within a second preset range, the closed circuit is controlled to output the hydraulic oil to the second circulation direction;

wherein, the opening degree of the second preset range is greater than the opening degree of the first preset range.



[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, when the opening degree of the handle is within the second preset range, the descending speed of the mechanical equipment satisfies the following formula:

wherein, V is the descending speed of the mechanical equipment, α is a constant, ΔQ is the sum of internal leakage amounts of the closed circuit, and Q is the flow output by the closed circuit.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, If the descending speed needs to continue to increase, the controller then controls the closed circuit to output the hydraulic oil in the second circulation direction, and the speed is restored to V = αQ + Q). FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a functional relationship between the opening degree of the handle and the current input to the closed circuit by the controller in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the handle 100 has no output within a range of 0-β. When the angle of β is reached, the controller may input current ia to the closed circuit. Wherein, ia is determined by the leakage amount of the closed pump at the current operating condition of the closed circuit, ia causes the closed circuit to output the hydraulic oil in the first circulation direction, and the output flow Q is equal to the sum of the internal leakage amounts of the closed circuit at the current operating condition. As the opening degree of the handle increases to the angle of γ, the current input by the controller to the closed circuit is gradually reduced to a minimum current imin. If the opening degree of the handle is increased after reaching the angle of γ, the controller controls the closed circuit to output the hydraulic oil in the second circulation direction, and the current is increased stepwise with the opening degree of the handle from the minimum current imin until reaching the maximum current imax. In the above control, the opening degree of the handle is a micro-motion region in the range of β∼γ, wherein the range of β~γ is a first preset range in the embodiment of the present application. At the angle of β, the descending speed of the mechanical equipment is completely zero; when the opening degree is greater than the angle of γ, the speed is determined by the amount of internal leakage of the closed circuit, and the descending speed of the mechanical equipment in this range is controlled according to the opening degree ratio of the handle, and the maneuverability is good.

[0087] Embodiments of the present application also provide crawler-type traveling equipment including the hydraulic-pressure-based control system described above.
