Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the drive of a channel baler for compacting loose material and for strapping the compacted material into bales whose actuators are driven by an electro-hydraulic drive.
  • EP 0508 753 A2 discloses a method or a device according to the preamble of claim 1 or the preamble of claim 4.
  • Another electro-hydraulic drive of this type is from the EP 1 236 558 A1 known.
  • a pump regulator is provided under Considering the respective speed of the electric motor adjusts the delivery volume of a variable displacement pump according to the pressure / volumetric flow profile predetermined by the higher-level control.
  • Constant pumps are used in the second hydraulic system. Constant pumps are usually designed as vane or internal gear pumps, inexpensive to buy and relatively quiet in operation. Since both the flow rate of the pump and the engine speed are constant in this drive, wherein the start also takes place via a star-delta circuit, different flow rates are realized by a plurality of pump stages, which can be switched on or off via valves. However, this results in pressure surges when switching on or off of pump stages. It is permanently the max. Flow rate circulated, even for switched-off pump stages in non-pressurized circulation. Here, not only the permanently driven with rated speed electric motor (no-load current about 60% of the rated current) leads to losses, but also the flow in the so-called pressureless circulation, about 10 bar.
  • the object of the invention in the further development of an electro-hydraulic drive device for controlling the drive of a channel baler, with at least a part of the disadvantages mentioned above in the prior art do not occur, at least greatly reduced or completely eliminated and at the same time the device and control engineering effort is reduced.
  • the basic idea of the invention is the combined use of a fixed-displacement pump, a vane or internal gear pump with a frequency-controlled electric motor for the electro-hydraulic drive of the baler.
  • the control unit of the baler for the control of an electric motor of a motor-pump unit of the electro-hydraulic Drive output control signals are first fed to a frequency converter coupled to the electric motor, and also consider the subsequently generated and outputted for the further control of the electric motor control signals generated by a pressure transducer signals on the actual state of a hydraulic train in terms of flow rate, delivery pressure and the like parameters.
  • the hydraulic train of the electro-hydraulic drive leads via branches to the individual actuators of the baler.
  • the new method allows the hydraulic motor, the motor-pump unit pump, to deliver only the volume of oil required by the actuator being controlled.
  • the rotational speed of the pump is regulated as a function of the volume flows required to supply the actuators.
  • an energy saving is achieved.
  • a further advantage is that, depending on requirements, a pump standstill and a soft start are realized without disadvantage.
  • Actuators in the context of the invention are, for example, the movement unit for the press plate or assemblies of the Umschnürungs liked and the like either of the electro-hydraulic drive to be moved components and assemblies of the baler.
  • the device for carrying out the method for controlling the drive of a baler, according to the invention is such that an electric motor of a motor-pump unit of the electro-hydraulic drive of the baler is coupled to a frequency converter.
  • a control line transmitting the control signals generated for the control of the motor-pump unit is connected to the frequency converter.
  • the control signals take into account relevant parameters about the actual state of a hydraulic train of the electro-hydraulic drive, which leads via branches to those designed as a hydraulic piston and the hydraulic motor as actuators.
  • the baler has at least one press box for receiving the material to be pressed, a press channel following in the feed direction into which the material is compacted into a bale as a result of a feed force, a press plate with which the material is pushed by the press box into the press channel arranged substantially above the press box filling chute, which opens into the overhead opening of the press box, an electro-hydraulic drive with actuators for the movement of components and units of the baler and a control unit.
  • a preferred embodiment is seen in that a pressure measuring transducer is connected to the hydraulic train, which is connected via a signal line to the control unit and / or to the frequency converter. According to a further development, it is advantageously provided that in the case of large baling presses two identical motor-pump units are provided, whereby the redundant drive trains in the event of failure of a hydraulic train either work with reduced power at low flow rates with only one motor-pump unit or both drive trains can be completely switched off.
  • a particularly preferred development is also seen in the fact that the power consumption of a baler can be reduced by the frequency-controlled motor-pump unit, since only the actuators are supplied with power that is currently needed.
  • the frequency-controlled drive according to the invention of hydraulic units in a baling press positive properties of control pumps and constant pumps can be meaningfully combined; These include, above all, a low-noise drive, energy savings and an increase in possible operating hours between maintenance intervals.
  • a baler with the use of the drive device according to the invention still further advantages are achieved, for example, because of the lower heat development less cooling power / energy is necessary.
  • a dynamic drive of actuators can take place.
  • no pressure stages take place.
  • the mechanical components in the drive device can be reduced.
  • two equal motor-pump units are used. For example, instead of using a unit with 90 kW and a unit with 50 kW as before, it is now possible to use two identical units, ie two 70 kW units, in order to achieve the maximum output to be designed.
  • the baler can continue to operate at reduced power if one hydraulic line fails.
  • only a motor-pump unit runs at low flow rates and during the downtime (eg machine waiting for new press material) both drive trains can be completely turned off.
  • FIGS. 1 to 7 schematically illustrated, non-limiting embodiment in view in more detail explained in more detail.
  • FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram for controlling the drive of a channel baler 1 with horizontally moving pressure plate, shown in closed hydraulic valves 11,12,13.
  • the FIGS. 2 to 6 each show individual switching positions of the hydraulic valves 11, 12 and 13th
  • the baler 1 is provided for compacting loose material and for strapping the compacted material into bales. It comprises a non-illustrated, known per se compression box for receiving the material to be pressed, a following in the feed direction pressing channel in which the material is compacted as a result of a feed force to a bale, a press plate with which the material from the press box in the pressing channel is pushed, a substantially above the press box arranged feed chute, which opens into the overhead opening of the press box, a Umschnürungsvoriques for the application of spaced-apart straps on the finished pressed bale and an electro-hydraulic drive means for the moving components and units of the baler.
  • the baler 1 is according to FIG. 1 a control unit 2 assigned.
  • the control unit 2 is connected to signal lines 14, 16 with a frequency converter 3 and to hydraulic control valves 11, 12, 13 of a hydraulic line 10. Via a signal line 15, the control unit 2 receives actual values from a pressure transducer 6, which is connected to the hydraulic train 10.
  • the hydraulic train 10 receives its respective required amount of oil from a hydraulic pump 5, which receives the hydraulic oil from a reservoir 17.
  • the hydraulic pump 5 is driven by an electric motor 4, which is preceded by a frequency converter 3.
  • the hydraulic train 10 has a plurality of branches for the corresponding hydraulic control valves 11, 12, 13, which supply the actuators 7, 8, 9 with the required for the respective intended action oil flow.
  • the actuator 7 is designed as a hydraulic piston and moves, for example, the pressure plate of the baler 1.
  • the pressure plate moves to it, the material is advanced, compacted and pressed.
  • the actuator 8 is also designed as a hydraulic piston and actuates a push-through unit for the strapping, wherein the actuator 9 designed as a hydraulic motor generates the rotational movement for twisting the strapping.
  • the hydraulic control valves 11, 12, 13 upstream of the actuators 7, 8, 9 control the supply of the hydraulic oil for the individual actuators 7, 8, 9.
  • the hydraulic oil runs back into a collecting container 18, which is coupled to the storage container 17.
  • baler 1 a bale of waste material is produced by one pressing stroke / pressing cycle.
  • balers where a bale is made by several press cycles the following description refers to the last press cycle.
  • FIG. 2 the hydraulic control valve 11 is opened and the actuator 7 moves the press plate so that the material is advanced, compacted and pressed. If this step "A" is completed, see also the diagram in FIG. 7 , the press plate, which is in its forward position, is mechanically locked. The path traveled by the pressure plate or by the hydraulic piston is in the FIG. 7 denoted by the characteristic line "W".
  • the absorbed power of the electro-hydraulic drive of the baler according to embodiment of the invention ie the combination of the motor-pump unit with a frequency converter for controlling the drive of a baler, in the FIG. 7 the two-dot chain line with the reference numeral P2, is substantially lower than in the previously known drive means whose power consumption in the FIG. 7 marked with the dashed line P1.
  • the hatched area between the two characteristics P1 and P2 in the FIG. 7 indicates the lower energy consumption.
