Description

Energy recovery control system and method for full-electric aerial work platform
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of aerial work platforms, and particularly relates to an energy recovery control system and method for a full-electric aerial work platform.
Background
An Aerial Work Platform (AWP) has the characteristics of low requirement on the operation space, flexibility in movement, convenience in transportation and the like, is widely applied to modern production and life, and becomes a necessary operation tool in areas such as hotels, electronic factories, storage and the like. In recent years, with the development of electrified transmission assemblies, people put higher demands on AWP in the aspects of zero emission, no hydraulic oil leakage and the like, so that the full-electric development of AWP becomes a necessary trend. The whole machine system benefiting from the all-electric AWP adopts an all-electric drive mechanism, and provides an innate condition for potential energy recovery of a lifting mechanism of the whole machine system. Therefore, a reasonable energy recovery system is designed to realize potential energy recovery and reutilization of the lifting mechanism, so that the electric energy utilization rate of the AWP is improved.
In recent years, some researchers have proposed various forms of energy recovery devices for hydraulically driven AWPs, and related energy recovery control systems and methods are rarely proposed for fully electric AWPs. For example, patent application No. CN202021717835.6 proposes a hydraulic system for AWP, which stores the kinetic energy of hydraulic oil during the platform descending process by an accumulator, and releases the energy again during the platform lifting process, thereby achieving the purpose of potential energy reuse; the patent application number CN201910648731.X provides a potential energy recovery hydraulic system and lifting equipment based on hydraulic energy recovery for hydraulically driven AWP, and the potential energy recovery and reutilization during platform descending are realized through an energy accumulator; patent application No. CN201720489203.0 proposes an AWP and an energy recovery device thereof, which uses the hydraulic oil that flows back when the platform descends to drive a generator to generate electricity, and in this way, the platform potential energy is converted into electric energy to be stored in a battery pack. In addition, documents "Electric scissoror airborne work platform great effective research", "analysis of kinematics and dynamics of scissor-type aerial platform and optimization of hinge point", "optimization of mechanical analysis of scissor-type aerial platform and optimization of hinge point position of oil cylinder mounting hinge point", "analysis of double hydraulic cylinder driving dynamics of scissor-type aerial platform" and "design of optimized structure of scissor-type aerial platform lifting device" optimize the lifting mechanism of scissor-type AWP and the mounting position of hydraulic cylinder from the angle of hinge point optimization, but do not study the energy recovery process.
It can be seen that the existing AWP-related energy recovery patents mainly adopt an energy accumulator or a generator to recover and reuse kinetic energy of hydraulic oil of a lifting system, so as to improve the energy utilization rate of the whole machine. However, in consideration of the characteristics of hydraulic oil leakage and low energy transmission efficiency, the lifting mechanism of the fully-electric AWP adopts an electric transmission assembly (such as an electric push rod) as an executing component to completely replace the traditional hydraulic system, so that the energy recovery device and the method proposed by the prior patent are difficult to meet the energy recovery control requirement of the fully-electric AWP. Furthermore, there is little existing literature on AWP investigating the platform energy recovery process.

The invention aims to provide an energy recovery control system and method for an all-electric aerial work platform, which solve the problem of energy recovery of all-electric AWP (active-forms-welded) so as to improve the energy utilization rate of the AWP, further optimize the battery pack capacity of the AWP and reduce the manufacturing cost of the whole machine.
