Description

Cross Reference to Related Applications



[0001] The present disclosure claims priority to Chinese Application No. 202311752680.8, filed on December 19, 2023, which is specifical1y and entirely incorporated by reference.

Field of the Invention



[0002] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a control method and control system for a super-lift mast, and a controller.

Background of the Invention



[0003] It is necessary to disassemble and assemble a super-lift mast when a crawler crane with a super-lift device is disassembled and assembled. The super-lift mast is tied to a main luffing winch and its wire rope, and during movement of the super-lift mast, it is necessary to simultaneously control movement of a super-lift luffing winch to maintain a super-lift luffing wire rope at an appropriate length. When the super-lift luffing winch wire rope is unwound excessively, the super-lift luffing wire rope and a stay plate of a main boom fall to ground, resulting in damage. When the super-lift luffing wire rope is unwound insufficiently, the main boom is pulled up, resulting in damage to components caused by an excessive tension. When the super-lift mast of the crawler crane is erected or lowered, an operator needs to manually control speeds of movement of the main luffing winch and the super-lift luffing winch according to stress states of a mast, the super-lift mast, and related stay plates, such that the super-lift mast moves from a lowered state to an erected state, or from an erected state to a lowered state. Operation efficiency is greatly affected by human factors, and a movement state of each mechanism is manually recognized. In consequence, a disorderly wire rope of a luffing mechanism, an excessively-stressed mechanism member, etc. are caused when the movement of each mechanism is not synchronized. During erecting and lowering of the super-lift mast, it is necessary to simultaneously operate multiple handles and focus on a state of each mechanism. Manual work is labor-intensive and prone to misoperations, resulting in an unpredictable result. Thus, the traditional technical solution has high operation difficulty, low precision, and low efficiency during erecting and lowering of the super-lift mast.

[0023] FIG. 1 schematically shows a flowchart of a control method for a super-lift mast according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, a control method for a super-lift mast is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may include:

Step 101, a linear speed relation between a main luffing winch wire rope and a super-lift luffing winch wire rope is acquired;

Step 102, an initial main luffing winch control current and an initial super-lift luffing winch control current are determined according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope;

Step 103, movement of a main luffing winch is controlled according to the initial main luffing winch control current, and movement of a super-lift luffing winch is controlled according to the initial super-lift luffing winch control current;

Step 104, a tension of the super-lift mast is acquired in real time during the movement of the super-lift luffing winch; and

Step 105, a main luffing winch control current and a super-lift luffing winch control current are adjusted according to the tension of the super-lift mast until the super-lift mast moves to a target position.



[0024] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, movement of the super-lift mast is controlled by the main luffing winch and the main luffing winch wire rope. During the movement of the super-lift mast, the movement of the super-lift luffing winch needs to be controlled simultaneously, such that the super-lift luffing wire rope is at an appropriate length. When the super-lift luffing winch wire rope is unwound excessively, the super-lift luffing wire rope and a stay plate of a main boom fall to ground, resulting in damage. When the super-lift luffing wire rope is unwound insufficiently, the main boom is pulled up, resulting in damage to components caused by an excessive tension. Thus, an appropriate tension needs to be applied to the super-lift mast to control the movement of the super-lift mast.

[0025] During the movement of the super-lift mast, the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope move synchronously. Moreover, the main luffing winch control current and the super-lift luffing winch control current affect a speed of the main luffing winch wire rope and a speed of the super-lift luffing winch wire rope, and the speed of the main luffing winch wire rope and the speed of the super-lift luffing winch wire rope affect the tension of the super-lift mast. Thus, when the super-lift mast is controlled, the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope is acquired first. Then, the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current may be determined separately according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope. The initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current refer to basic currents obtained through calculation. A main luffing mast and the super-lift mast may move according to the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current. Moreover, during the movement, the control current is fed back according to the tension, and the tension of the super-lift mast is obtained.

[0026] After the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are obtained, the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are input into a control system separately, the movement of the main luffing winch is controlled according to the initial main luffing winch control current, and the movement of the super-lift luffing winch is controlled according to the initial super-lift luffing winch control current. The tension of the super-lift mast may be acquired in real time during the movement of the super-lift luffing winch. The main luffing winch control current and the super-lift luffing winch control current are adjusted in real time according to the tension of the super-lift mast acquired in real time until the super-lift mast moves to the target position.

[0027] According to the above technical solution, the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope is acquired to determine the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current; the movement of the main luffing winch is controlled according to the initial main luffing winch control current, and the movement of the super-lift luffing winch is controlled according to the initial super-lift luffing winch control current; the tension of the super-lift mast is acquired in real time during the movement of the super-lift luffing winch; and the main luffing winch control current and the super-lift luffing winch control current are adjusted according to the tension of the super-lift mast until the super-lift mast moves to the target position. Thus, a mechanism can be automatically controlled to act, operation difficulty during erecting and lowering of the super-lift mast is reduced, and operation precision and efficiency are improved.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that an initial main luffing winch control current and an initial super-lift luffing winch control current are determined according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope may include:

a corresponding relation between main luffing pump unit displacement and super-lift pump unit displacement is determined according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope; and

the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are determined according to the corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement.



[0029] Specifically, the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current may be determined according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope. The corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement may be determined according to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope. In a case that linear speeds are known, the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement may be determined separately according to a rotating speed of an engine, a speed reduction ratio of a transfer case, current pump unit displacement of a pump, current motor displacement of a motor, a speed reduction ratio of a speed reducer, volumetric efficiency of the pump, and volumetric efficiency of the motor. Then, the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are determined according to the corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement. A corresponding relation between pump unit displacement and a current is a fixed attribute of a crane. According to the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope, the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are determined to control the super-lift mast to move and obtain the tension of the super-lift mast.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope may satisfy Formula (1):

where
Vw is a linear speed of the super-lift luffing winch wire rope, Ve is a linear speed of the main luffing winch wire rope, r2 is a reeving ratio of a super-lift luffing pulley block, Lw is a length of the super-lift mast, β is an angle between the main luffing winch wire rope and a main luffing mast, r1 is a reeving ratio of a main luffing pulley block, Lm is a length of the main luffing mast, and γ is an included angle between the super-lift pulley block and a tangent line of a trajectory circle of the super-lift mast.

[0031] Specifically, the linear speed relation between the main luffing winch wire rope and the super-lift luffing winch wire rope satisfies a formula

. Vw is a linear speed of the super-lift luffing winch wire rope, and Ve is a linear speed of the main luffing winch wire rope. FIG. 2 schematically shows a schematic diagram of calculation of a luffing angular speed according to a particular embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, a calculation method for a luffing angular speed is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. In a calculation process, a coordinate system may be established according to a center of rotation, and hinge point coordinates (Ax, Ay) of a luffing pulley block and hinge point coordinates (Cx, Cy) of a bottom of a mast may be acquired separately. Hinge point coordinates (Bx, By) of a top point of the mast may be calculated based on an angle of the mast and a length of the mast. An angle β between a luffing wire rope and the mast may be determined by knowing three-point coordinates of a triangle, and an angular speed ω of the mast may be further determined, i.e. ω = (Ve × sin β) ÷ Lm ÷ r1. Lm is the length of the mast, r1 is a reeving ratio of the luffing pulley block, and an angular speed of a super-lift mast is consistent with the angular speed of the mast, and is also ω. A linear speed Vt of a head of the super-lift mast and a speed Vw of a super-lift luffing wire rope are calculated through the angular speed of the mast, i.e. Vt = ω × Lw and Vw = (Vt ÷ cos γ) × r2. γ is an included angle between the super-lift pulley block and a tangent line of a trajectory circle of the super-lift mast, and r2 is a reeving ratio of the super-lift luffing pulley block.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, data may be collected through a sensor. For example, angle sensors may be mounted on the mast and the super-lift mast to detect angles of the mast and the super-lift mast. A tension sensor may further be mounted between the super-lift mast and a stay plate of a main boom to detect a tension.

[0033] FIG. 3 schematically shows a schematic diagram of calculation of an angle γ according to a particular embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, a calculation method for an angle γ is provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Vertex coordinates (Dx, Dy) of a super-lift mast may be calculated through a length of the super-lift mast and an angle of the super-lift mast. Vertex coordinates (Ex, Ey) of a stay plate of a main boom are known parameters, and the angle θ1 of the super-lift mast may be measured by an angle sensor. An included angle θ2 between a super-lift luffing wire rope and a horizontal direction may be calculated based on (Dx, Dy) and (Ex, Ey), i.e.

. Further, an included angle

between a super-lift pulley block and a tangent line of a trajectory circle of the super-lift mast may be obtained. Finally, a relational expression

between a luffing winch linear speed and a super-lift luffing linear speed based on the angle of the mast may be obtained.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement may satisfy Formula (2):

where
Vgw is the super-lift pump unit displacement, Vge is the main luffing pump unit displacement, r2 is a reeving ratio of a super-lift luffing pulley block, Lw is a length of the super-lift mast, β is an angle between the main luffing winch wire rope and a main luffing mast, r1 is a reeving ratio of a main luffing pulley block, Lm is a length of the main luffing mast, γ is an included angle between the super-lift pulley block and a tangent line of a trajectory circle of the super-lift mast, d is a diameter of the wire rope, and n is a number of layers of the wire rope.

[0035] Specifically, the corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement satisfies the formula

. Vgw is the super-lift pump unit displacement, and Vge is the main luffing pump unit displacement. A linear speed of a winch is equal to a winding radius of a main luffing winch multiplied by the angular speed.

. r0 is a bottom diameter of a roller, d is the diameter of the wire rope, and n is a number of layers of the wire rope. Thus, a rotating speed V = (((s/η1 × Vgpump) / Vgmotor) / η2) × η3 × η4 × 2π of the winch may be determined. s is a rotating speed of an engine, η1 is a speed reduction ratio of a transfer case, Vgpump is current pump unit displacement, Vgmotor is current motor displacement, η2 is a speed reduction ratio of a speed reducer, η3 is volumetric efficiency of a pump, and η4 is volumetric efficiency of a motor. Finally, the corresponding relation between the main luffing pump unit displacement and the super-lift pump unit displacement may be obtained.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that a main luffing winch control current and a super-lift luffing winch control current are controlled according to the tension of the super-lift mast until the super-lift mast moves to a target position may include:

whether the tension of the super-lift mast satisfies a preset value is determined;

the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are updated separately according to the tension of the super-lift mast, a target value of the tension of the super-lift mast, and a movement state of the super-lift mast in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast does not satisfy the preset value; and

the super-lift mast is controlled to move to the target position in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast satisfies the preset value.



[0037] Specifically, after the initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are obtained, the movement of the main luffing winch may be controlled according to the initial main luffing winch control current, and the movement of the super-lift luffing winch may be controlled according to the initial super-lift luffing winch control current. The tension of the super-lift mast may be acquired in real time during the movement of the super-lift luffing winch. Whether the tension of the super-lift mast satisfies the preset value is determined. The preset value is a preset tension value that may make the super-lift mast move normally. The initial main luffing winch control current and the initial super-lift luffing winch control current are updated separately according to the tension of the super-lift mast, the target value of the tension of the super-lift mast, and the movement state of the super-lift mast in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast does not satisfy the preset value. The super-lift mast is controlled to move to the target position in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast satisfies the preset value.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the step that the main luffing winch control current and the super-lift luffing winch control current are updated separately according to the tension of the super-lift mast, a target value of the tension of the super-lift mast, and a movement state of the super-lift mast in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast does not satisfy the preset value may include:

a difference between the tension of the super-lift mast and the target value of the tension of the super-lift mast is determined;

a difference between the initial main luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated main luffing winch control current and the sum of the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is an erected state and the difference is greater than zero;

the sum of the initial main luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated main luffing winch control current and a difference between the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is an erected state and the difference is less than zero;

the sum of the initial main luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated main luffing winch control current and a difference between the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is a lowered state and the difference is greater than zero; and

a difference between the initial main luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated main luffing winch control current and the sum of the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and an adjusting current is determined as an updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is a lowered state and the difference is less than zero.



[0039] Specifically, the main luffing winch control current and the super-lift luffing winch control current are updated separately according to the tension of the super-lift mast, the target value of the tension of the super-lift mast, and the movement state of the super-lift mast in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast does not satisfy the preset value. The movement of the super-lift mast may include erecting the super-lift mast and lowering the super-lift mast. It is defined that a tension of F2 is F2min at a tensioned state of a stay plate when the super-lift mast is at 90°, and the tension of F2 is F2max when a boom is lifted at 0°. F2min and F2max are parameters related to weight of the stay plate of the main boom, and may be acquired through a test method. An F2 tension control target is staged according to the angle of the super-lift mast and set according to a range. A maximum tension of F2 is controlled to be less than F2min by erecting or lowering the super-lift mast in a case that an angle between the super-lift mast and the front is less than 86°. In a case that the super-lift mast is turned over vertically (that is, the angle between the super-lift mast and the front is between 86° and 94°), when the super-lift mast is erected, it is necessary to maintain the super-lift mast and the stay plate of the main boom tensioned to prevent the super-lift mast from falling freely when the super-lift mast is turned over 90°. Thus, a minimum tension of F2 is controlled to be greater than F2min and less than the maximum tension F2max when the main boom is pulled up. When the super-lift mast is lowered, the main boom is pulled by the super-lift mast to control F2 to be equal to F2min. The maximum tension of F2 is controlled to be greater than F2min and less than F2max by erecting or lowering the super-lift mast in a case that the angle between the super-lift mast and the front is greater than 94°.

[0040] From the above calculation, F2 target value may be obtained, and F2actual value is measured by a tension sensor. ΔF may be obtained by subtraction of F2 target value and F2 actual value. A control strategy for the current under different cases is shown in Table 1:
Table 1
Serial number Item ΔF Main luffing Super-lift luffing
1 Erecting of super-lift mast Greater than 0 I-I_PID I+I_PID
2 Erecting of super-lift mast Less than 0 I+I_PID I-I_PID
3 Lowering of super-lift mast Greater than 0 I+I_PID I-I_PID
4 Lowering of super-lift mast Less than 0 I-I_PID I+I_PID


[0041] Wherein, I is a control current passing through pump unit displacement, and is influenced by parameters of transmission components. I-PID is the adjusting current calculated through a proportional integral derivative (PID) control model based on a difference between F2 target value and F2 actual value. The difference between the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated main luffing winch control current and the sum of the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is the erected state and the difference is greater than zero. The sum of the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated main luffing winch control current and the difference between the initial super-lift luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is the erected state and the difference is less than zero. The sum of the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated main luffing winch control current and the difference between the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is the lowered state and the difference is greater than zero. The difference between the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated main luffing winch control current and the sum of the initial main luffing winch control current and the adjusting current is determined as the updated super-lift luffing winch control current in a case that the movement state of the super-lift mast is the lowered state and the difference is less than zero.

Thus, a mechanism can be automatically controlled to act, operation difficulty during erecting and lowering of the super-lift mast is reduced, and operation precision and efficiency are improved.

That is, whether the tension of the super-lift mast satisfies a preset value is determined. A super-lift luffing speed and a main luffing speed are adjusted by feedback in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast needs to be adjusted. The super-lift mast is controlled to move to the target position to complete erecting and lowering of the super-lift mast in a case that the tension of the super-lift mast is normal.
