The invention relates to a method for regulation of a cooling fan drive on an internal combustion engine, in particular equipped with several independent cooling circuits, in a construction or working machine, whereby the power drain of the cooling fan drive is set to approximately zero during certain working stages of the construction and/or working and said power drain may be added to the capacity for the working stage.
Description
Method And Device For Regulation Of A Cooling Fan Drive On An Internal Combustion Engine In A Construction Or Working Machine This invention concerns a process for regulating the fan motor of internal combustion engines in construction or work machines, particularly those with several independent cooling circuits.
In DE-A 195 35 674, a process is proposed for regulating the cooling system of excavators, particularly those with powerful diesel engines, where a thermostat located in the area of the diesel engine opens the flow from the diesel engine to a water cooler with an integrated fan at a predetermined temperature, so that a temperature measuring device installed in the area of the flow controls the fan in such a way that, within a given temperature range above the thermostat-regulated water temperature, the rotation speed of the fan is set in the range between Omiri' and a maximum rotation speed.
In DE-A 198 25 759, a hydraulic drive subassembly, including a variable displacement pump, which is connected in a closed circuit with a motor to drive an auxiliary device such as a fan, is described. An auxiliary pump can be functionally connected with the pump, the engine and a container so that losses of the fluid in the closed circuit are replenished.
An auxiliary circuit, which is connected to the pump, has a bypass that is connected with the closed circuit upstream of the motor in order to reduce the required volume of the container.
Construction or work machines, particularly hydraulic excavators, are designed for certain maximum performances that consist of, for example, performing repetitive operations such as raising the boom and moving the upper chassis relative to the lower chassis.
The internal combustion engines in these construction and work machines, particularly hydraulic excavators, are normally water-cooled and have an adjustable fan which is turned on and off in response to rises in the temperature in the cooling circuit of the engine by a separate hydraulic motor usually controlled from the engine.
During the normal operation of construction or work machines, particularly hydraulic excavators, the fans are usually turned on when a predetermined temperature is exceeded in the engine's cooling circuit. 'The operating fan requires a certain amount of power to regulate the temperature of the cooling circuit.
Then, not all the motor's power is available, for example to raise a boom, because of the loss of power to the operating fan, and, in certain marginal ranges, this can result in the power of the engine being insufficient to perform the work.
This purpose of this invention is to provide a process and a device for regulating fan motors in which the operations performed by construction or work machines can be increased a manner that improves performance without causing a loss of power in the area of the engine.
This goal is achieved through a procedure for regulating fan motors on engines in construction and/or work machines, particularly those that have several independent cooling circuits, where the power of the fan motor is set to zero during certain operations performed by the construction and/or work machine and the power is used to perfonm these operations.
Beneficial extensions of the invention can be inferred from the associated process-related subclaims.
This goal is also achieved through a device for regulating the fan motor of intenxal combustion engines in construction and/or work machines, particularly those with several independent cooling circuits, with at least one Pl-regulator per cooling circuit, at least one post-installed comparator and at least one pulse width modulator operating with a setting device.
In another version of the invention, the regulator is a p-controller-Pl-regulator.
The subject of the invention makes it possible to set to at least two different desired temperatures of a fan motor in several independently operating cooling circuits of an internal combustion engine by means of a common setting device, where the power of the fan motor while performing certain operations is zero (the fan idles) and the fan power can then be used to perform these operations.
With one p,-controller-Pl-regulator per cooling circuit, the desired and actual values are compared and the required setting for each cooling circuit is determined. The post-installed comparator determines the maximum setting from the individual settings and sends this to a PWM (pulse width modulation) stage, which is connected to the setting device.
When particular operations are performed, for example raising the boom of a hydraulic excavator, the desired temperatures of the cooling circuits are essentially raised at the same time.
Thus, the power of the fan motor is set to zero (the fan idles) and the lifting power increases by the amount required to run the fan.
Depending on the size of the construction or work machine, particularly in the case of large hydraulic excavators, lifting power when raising a boom can be increased without causing overheating of the drive unit. This is because the fan motor power is not needed all the time, but only during predetermined operations of the construction or work machines.
The sole figure shows a basic sketch and is described as follows:
There is an internal combustion engine (1) which, in this example, has two independent cooling circuits (2 and 3), that are connected by means of a controller (9) to a setting device (10) on an adjustable fan motor (4) with a fan wheel (5). There is also a device (6), for example the boom of a hydraulic excavator, which is not shown, which is mounted on an upper chassis (7), which is only outlined, and can be raised and lowered by means of hydraulic cylinder (8). Hydraulic circuit (11), which is used to raise and lower device (6), hydraulic circuit (12) for fan motor (4) and hydraulic circuit (20), which is needed to feed setting device (10), are shown. Each cooling circuit (2 and 3) has a p-controller-Pl-regulator that compares the desired and actual values and calculates the appropriate setting for each cooling circuit (2 and 3). The desired values are provided to the p-controller-Pl-regulators ( 13 and 14) by a change-over switch ( 15). The values provided by the p,-controller-Pl-regulators ( 13 and 14) are fed to a post-installed comparator ( 16), which determines the maximum setting from the individual settings and passes it on to a PWM (pulse width modulation) step 17, which is connected to setting device (10) by means of wire ( 18). Part of the power of engine ( 1 ) is used to operate device (6), while another part of the power is required for fan wheel (5) to protect engine ( 1 ) from overheating.
For certain operations, for example raising device (6) using hydraulic cylinder (8), it can happen that engine ( 1 ) is not quite able to raise device (6).
With this invention, for such operations, the desired temperatures of cooling circuits (2 and 3) are raised to higher temperatures by means of a switch ( 19) and a change-over switch ( 15).
Thus, the power of fan motor (4) is set to zero by means of wire (18) and setting device (10).
Fan wheel (S) slows down or idles. The hydraulic power of fan motor (4), which is now no longer needed to power fan wheel (5), is thus added to the lifting power of device 6 without causing engine (1) to overheat. As soon as the certain operation is completed, hydraulic fan motor (4) is again connected to fan wheel (S), thus the higher desired temperature for each of cooling circuits (2 and 3) is again assigned a lower desired temperature by means of switch (19) and change-over switch (15). This process can be repeated in any sequence, which ultimately depends on the maximum performance assigned to specific operations.
In DE-A 195 35 674, a process is proposed for regulating the cooling system of excavators, particularly those with powerful diesel engines, where a thermostat located in the area of the diesel engine opens the flow from the diesel engine to a water cooler with an integrated fan at a predetermined temperature, so that a temperature measuring device installed in the area of the flow controls the fan in such a way that, within a given temperature range above the thermostat-regulated water temperature, the rotation speed of the fan is set in the range between Omiri' and a maximum rotation speed.
