As shown in fig. 3, the electronic level 35, the leveling button 7, and the emergency stop button 21 are integrated on the control panel 99. The control panel is arranged on the chassis, and two sides of the chassis are respectively provided with a control panel for convenient control. And a leveling button, an emergency stop button levelness display and other operation buttons and the like are arranged on the control panel, and icon icons comprise a vertical oil cylinder icon, a horizontal oil cylinder icon and the like. Other operating buttons comprise a supporting leg power take-off enabling button 1, an opposite side front vertical cylinder retraction button 3, an opposite side rear vertical cylinder retraction button 6, a four vertical cylinder simultaneous retraction button 8, a four vertical cylinder full retraction in-place button 9, a leveling button 10, a four vertical cylinder simultaneous extension button 11, an opposite side rear vertical cylinder extension button 12, a side rear horizontal cylinder retraction button 14, a side rear horizontal cylinder extension button 15, a side two vertical cylinder extension button 16, a side two vertical cylinder retraction 17, a side rear vertical cylinder extension button 18, a side rear vertical cylinder retraction button 19, an emergency stop button 21, a levelness display area 22, a side front vertical cylinder retraction button 24, a side front vertical cylinder extension button 25, a side two horizontal cylinder extension button 26, a side two horizontal cylinder retraction button 27, a side front horizontal cylinder extension button 28, a side front horizontal cylinder retraction button 29, an opposite side front vertical cylinder extension button 31, a side rear vertical cylinder extension button 15, a side vertical cylinder extension button 25, a side two horizontal cylinder extension button 26, a side two horizontal cylinder retraction button 27, a side front horizontal cylinder extension button 28, a side front horizontal cylinder extension button 29, a side front vertical cylinder extension button 31, a horizontal cylinder extension button, A light control button 32, an engine off button 33, and an engine ignition button 34.
The control panel 99 is electrically connected with the controller 36, so that the electronic level 35, the buttons and other related components integrated on the control panel 99 transmit related signals to the controller 36, and corresponding operation control is realized.
The electronic level 35 is used for detecting the frame levelness of the crane, and the detected frame levelness information is transmitted to the controller 36 and is displayed in the levelness display area 22 on the control panel.
The leveling button 7 is used for sending a supporting leg automatic leveling control signal to the controller 36, triggering the controller to execute a related instruction program, and realizing supporting leg automatic leveling control.
The emergency button 21 is used for sending a stop instruction to the controller in an emergency, stopping the automatically executed leveling action and avoiding accidents.
In this embodiment, an operator can manually operate a button on the control panel to realize the leveling of the support leg, and can also perform one-key leveling through the leveling button 7 after the horizontal oil cylinder of the support leg extends in place, wherein the one-key leveling control method specifically comprises the following steps:
as shown in step S1 in fig. 4, the controller 36 receives the leveling control signal sent by the leveling button 7; an operator touches and presses the leveling button 7 on the control panel 99 to generate a leveling control signal and trigger a one-key automatic leveling function of the crane. Upon receiving the leveling control signal, the controller 36 executes the following steps S11 and S12.
And step S11, controlling the extension of the support oil cylinder. The controller 36 outputs control currents to the electro-proportional valve one 41, the electro-proportional valve two 42, the electro-proportional valve three 43 and the electro-proportional valve four 44, so that the Y1a electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve one 41, the Y2a electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve two 42, the Y3a electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve three 43 and the Y4a electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve four 44 are electrified, each electro-proportional valve is opened in the cylinder extension direction, and the right front support leg vertical cylinder 51, the right rear support leg vertical cylinder 52, the left front support leg vertical cylinder 53 and the left rear support leg vertical cylinder 54 are all extended.
And step S12, judging the fully extended state of the vertical oil cylinder. The controller 36 respectively obtains the pressure of the large cavities of the right front leg vertical oil cylinder 51, the right rear leg vertical oil cylinder 52, the left front leg vertical oil cylinder 53 and the left rear leg vertical oil cylinder 54 through a first sensor 61, a second sensor 62, a third sensor 63 and a fourth sensor 64, and judges whether the vertical oil cylinder is in a fully extended state or not through the pressure of the corresponding vertical oil cylinder large cavity. After the electro proportional valve is opened towards the extending direction of the oil cylinder, pressure oil enters the large cavity corresponding to the vertical oil cylinder, the vertical oil cylinder extends, when the vertical oil cylinder is in a fully extended state and then continues to feed oil to the large cavity of the oil cylinder, the pressure of the large cavity of the oil cylinder is suppressed high, and finally the overflow pressure is reached. And setting the overflow pressure of the vertical oil cylinder as a preset pressure value for judging whether the vertical oil cylinder is in a fully extended state. And when the pressure value detected by a certain pressure sensor is equal to or greater than the preset pressure value P, the vertical oil cylinder corresponding to the pressure sensor is presumed to be in a fully extended state.
After the controller 36 estimates that a certain vertical cylinder is in the fully extended state, the electric proportional valve corresponding to the vertical cylinder is controlled to be powered off, so that the electric proportional valve is in the closed state in the cylinder extension direction. Or after all the vertical oil cylinders are estimated to be in the fully extended state, the controller 36 performs power-off control on all the electro proportional valves, so that all the electro proportional valves are in the closed state in the oil cylinder extension and retraction direction at the same time. After all the electro proportional valves are powered off and closed, the controller executes step S2.
In step S12, the determination of the fully extended state of the vertical cylinder may also be achieved by other means, such as directly detecting the extension stroke of the vertical cylinder through a stroke sensing device, and determining whether the vertical cylinder is in the fully extended state through the extension stroke of each vertical cylinder.
The main purpose of steps S11 and S12 in step S1 is to make each vertical cylinder in a fully extended state, so as to ensure that the vehicle frame has the maximum ground clearance after the vehicle frame is adjusted to be horizontal in step S2, and ensure that the chassis wheels are not stressed from the ground during the hoisting operation of the crane.
The steps S11 and S12 are not essential steps, and may be performed before the operator touches the leveling button. For example, after the horizontal oil cylinder of each supporting leg extends to the right position and before the leveling button 7 is touched, an operator touches and presses a vertical oil cylinder operating button on the control panel 99, the vertical oil cylinders are manually operated and controlled to extend, and the supporting legs jack up the vehicle frame to suspend the tires of the chassis above the ground. In manual operation control, an operator visually observes whether each vertical oil cylinder is in a fully extended state; or according to experience, after the lifting height of the frame is judged to be leveled, the extension of the vertical oil cylinder is stopped when the requirement that the chassis tire is suspended above the ground and is not stressed in the lifting process of the crane is met (at the moment, the vertical oil cylinder is possibly not in a fully extended state), then, when the leveling button 7 is touched and pressed, a leveling control signal is generated, a one-key braking leveling function of the crane is triggered, and the controller executes the step S2.
When the controller 36 executes step S2, the electronic level 35 acquires the levelness information of the vehicle body frame. The frame levelness information detected by the electronic level meter 35 includes relative height information of the frame in eight directions, which are respectively the front side of the frame, the rear side of the frame, the left side of the frame, the right side of the frame, the rear side of the frame, the front side of the right side of the frame, the rear side of the left side of the frame, and the front side of the left side of the frame. The levelness information of the vehicle frame detected by the electronic level meter can only contain relative height information in four directions, wherein the four directions are respectively the right front side of the vehicle frame, the right rear side of the vehicle frame, the right left side of the vehicle frame, the right side of the vehicle frame and the like.
The frame levelness information that electron spirit level 35 detected not only shows in the levelness display area on control panel, still transmits the levelness information for controller 36, and corresponding electric proportional valve is controlled according to the levelness information to controller 36, realizes frame level control.
The controller 36 executes step S2 to control the electro proportional valve to level the vehicle frame as shown in fig. 4. In step S2, step S21, step S22, and step S23 are included.
In step S21, the controller 36 obtains the information of the vehicle frame levelness detected by the electronic level, determines whether the vehicle frame is level according to the information of the vehicle frame levelness, if the vehicle frame is not level, the step S22 is performed, and if the vehicle frame is level, the step S23 is performed.
And step S22, controlling a corresponding electro proportional valve by the controller according to the levelness information, and adjusting the levelness of the frame. For example, when the controller determines that the front side of the vehicle frame is high according to the vehicle frame levelness information, as shown in fig. 5, the controller controls the Y1b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve one 41 and the Y3b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve three 43 to be electrified, the electro-proportional valve one 41 and the electro-proportional valve three 43 are opened in the cylinder retraction direction, hydraulic oil enters the small cavities of the right front vertical cylinder 51 and the left front vertical cylinder 53, and pressure oil in the large cavities of the right front vertical cylinder 51 and the left front vertical cylinder 53 respectively flows to an oil tank through the electro-proportional valve one 41 and the electro-proportional valve three 43, so that the retraction of the right front vertical cylinder 51 and the left front vertical cylinder 53 is realized, and the height of the front part of the vehicle frame is reduced.
Correspondingly, when the other direction of the frame is judged to be high, the following conditions are installed to control the corresponding electro proportional valve:
if it is determined that the vehicle frame is directly high on the rear side, the controller 36 controls the electromagnet Y2b of the second electro-proportional valve 42 and the electromagnet Y4b of the fourth electro-proportional valve 44 to be energized.
And if the right rear side of the frame is judged to be high, the controller controls the Y1b electromagnet of the first electro-proportional valve 41, the Y2b electromagnet of the second electro-proportional valve 42 and the Y3b electromagnet of the third electro-proportional valve 43 to be electrified.
If the right front side of the frame is judged to be high, the controller controls the Y1b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve I41, the Y2b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve II 42 and the Y4b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve IV 44 to be electrified.
If the right side of the vehicle frame is judged to be high, the controller controls the Y1b electromagnet of the first electro-proportional valve 41 and the Y2b electromagnet of the second electro-proportional valve 42 to be electrified.
And if the left rear side of the frame is judged to be high, the controller controls the Y2b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve II 42, the Y3b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve III 43 and the Y4b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve IV 44 to be electrified.
If the left front side of the frame is judged to be high, the controller controls the Y1b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve I41, the Y3b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve III 43 and the Y4b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve IV 44 to be electrified.
If the vehicle frame is judged to be high on the left side, the controller controls the Y3b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve three 43 and the Y4b electromagnet of the electro-proportional valve four 44 to be electrified.
After the electromagnet at the end b of the electro-proportional valve is electrified, the vertical oil cylinder corresponding to the electro-proportional valve retracts, so that the height of the corresponding position of the frame is reduced, and the levelness of the frame is changed.
Step S22 and step S21 are a cyclic process, that is, the controller 36 controls the electro proportional valve to change the levelness of the vehicle frame and also obtains the levelness information of the electronic level, if it is determined that the levelness of the vehicle frame has changed from one direction to another direction according to the newly obtained levelness information of the vehicle frame, the controller controls the corresponding electro proportional valve according to the newly obtained levelness information of the vehicle frame, and the other electro proportional valves are in a power-off bidirectional closing state. After several cycles of step S22 and step S21, the carriage is adjusted to a horizontal state, and the display of the electronic level is shown in fig. 6.
In step S2, the direction in which the height of the vehicle body frame is the highest is determined based on the vehicle body frame levelness information, and the corresponding electro proportional valve is subjected to energization control. In the method, the electric proportional valve controlled to be opened by the controller always corresponds to the direction with the highest frame height, and the electric proportional valve corresponding to the direction with the lowest frame height cannot be opened. Therefore, in step S2, the direction in which the height of the vehicle frame is the lowest is determined from the initial vehicle frame levelness information, and the electro proportional valve corresponding to this direction is not controlled to be opened. For example, when the right front side of the frame is high, only the first electro-proportional valve and the third electro-proportional valve need to be controlled to be opened, so that the right front vertical oil cylinder and the left front vertical oil cylinder retract. The right rear vertical oil cylinder and the left rear vertical oil cylinder do not retract, the two corresponding electro-proportional valves are an electro-proportional valve II and an electro-proportional valve IV respectively, the electro-proportional valve II and the electro-proportional valve IV are non-modulated electro-proportional valves, and the two-way closing state is always kept in the step S2. For example, when the vehicle body frame right front side is high, in step S2, it is necessary to open and control the first electro-proportional valve, the second electro-proportional valve, and the fourth electro-proportional valve without starting control of the third electro-proportional valve, which is an unregulated electro-proportional valve.
The controller controls to open the electro-proportional valve corresponding to the direction with the highest frame height, so that one or two electro-proportional valves can be ensured not to be opened in the horizontal adjustment process of the frame, the vertical oil cylinder corresponding to the electro-proportional valve is always in a fully extended state, and the frame leveled according to the method can ensure that the ground clearance of the frame is the maximum.
After the vehicle frame is adjusted to the horizontal state, the controller executes step S23, all the electro proportional valves are closed bidirectionally, the support leg power take-off enabling switch is automatically closed, and the support leg leveling control operation is ended. The supporting leg is adjusted by the supporting leg automatic leveling system and the leveling control method in the embodiment, the operation is simple and convenient, the operation can be finished by one key, the labor intensity is low, and the leveling precision is high.
