Definitions
- the present invention relates to a work vehicle with a driver's cab, which has a closed cabin interior, which is surrounded by structurally stable cabin wall elements and at least one disc which closes a cabin wall opening released from the cabin wall elements, with an actuator device acting on the pane, with a sensor device and with a the sensor device and the actuator device connected control unit, which is adapted to control in response to signals of the sensor device, the actuator device for noise reduction in the cabin interior.
- the invention relates to work vehicles, including herein e.g. Forklift, excavator, combine harvester, bulldozer, rollers for road construction, tractors, etc. are understood.
- a closed driver's cab protects the driver from environmental influences such as noise, climate, rain, falling objects, etc .; In particular, because of the protection against noise in the working environment, the driver's cab is largely hermetically sealed.
- adaptive control algorithms are mentioned, which can adapt to a certain extent to changing noise situations.
- the method described is based on measuring the noise signal closer to the source before it arrives at the location where the noise is to be reduced, and in this way outputting the canceling or noise-reducing counter-sound from the loudspeaker, and then if it arrives in the desired noise reduction range, it causes a partially destructive interference or cancellation with the noise coming from the source and then arriving in the area of interest.
- the generation of counter-noise by a loudspeaker is not particularly effective for the described application in driver's cabs of work vehicles.
- EP 2 101 316 A1 is known an agricultural work machine with noise-damped cabin.
- an external noise source outside the driver's cab is present, from which an oscillation is transmitted on a first path into the driver's cab.
- a compensator element is to be driven with a phase and amplitude adapted to the phase and amplitude of the transmitted vibration in order to emit a sound vibration which compensates for the vibration transmitted to the driver's cab.
- the noise of the external noise source is already measured at the source with a sensor, and it is assumed that the propagation of the sound from the external noise source on the first path is slower than the signal transmission from the sensor to the external noise source via the control device and to said compensator element, so that the desired extinction or reduction in amplitude and phase can be properly effected at the desired location within the driver's cab.
- This is also a feedforward control.
- Such open-type controllers do not work when there are jamming paths over which the noise propagates faster than the signal transmission on the second path to the compensator element.
- the described system is particularly directed to the suppression of stationary tonal noise components that excite the cabin cabin resonances, such as the periodic noises generated by the rotating blades of a combine harvester.
- the described procedure does not result in the reduction of noise in the head area of the driver, since effective cancellation of the overlapping sound components is not possible due to the transit time difference from the loudspeaker to the head area and to the microphone.
- no noise can be suppressed in which the change duration of frequency and / or the amplitude of the noise is shorter than the transit time between the sensor and the loudspeaker.
- a device for reducing noise in a driver's cab of a motor vehicle is also known, which does not expressly refer to the driver's cab of a work vehicle, but otherwise has the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- planar piezoceramic actuators are attached. By deliberately applying tension to the piezoceramic actuators, these can be purposefully expanded and contracted, whereby the disk on which the planar piezoceramic actuators is attached can be deformed.
- a piezoceramic sensor is further attached, detected with the vibrations of the disc and sent to a control unit.
- the control unit is configured to generate control signals for the piezoceramic actuators on the basis of the vibrations of the window pane detected by the sensor in such a way that the vibrations of the window pane detected by the sensor are minimized.
- the sound level emitted by the oscillating window pane into the interior of the driver's cab should be reduced by suppressing the vibrations of the windowpane as much as possible.
- generation of counter sound for active noise reduction is also mentioned as basically known in this document, it should be replaced by a simpler procedure (vibration suppression of the window panes).
- the cabs of work vehicles are largely hermetically sealed because of their various protective functions.
- the driver In work vehicles, the driver must be able to observe his surroundings very well in order to be able to detect accident risks. Therefore, such cabs have next to structurally fixed cabin wall panels one or more larger, released by the cabin wall elements openings which are closed by slices.
- the discs are made in the Usually made of transparent glass or plastic. Most are therefore provided on all sides of the cab wall openings with windows as windows, so that the driver can perceive its environment forward, backward and on both sides.
- the closed air volume in the cabin interior together with the panes in the cabin wall openings forms a vibro-acoustic system (VAS), which is weakly damped at low frequencies and therefore susceptible to vibration.
- VAS vibro-acoustic system
- Suggestions of the VAS take place at low frequencies, in particular by an internal combustion engine of the work vehicle, by hydraulic units and by tire-roadway interactions, such as the impact of the distributed around the circumference of the tire lugs of the profile on the running surface. Therefore, high sound levels of more than 110 dB can occur in resonance ranges of the VAS at approx. 40 Hz, which are perceived by the driver as unpleasant hum or noise.
- the vibrations transmitted to the driver's cabin can change rapidly according to frequency and amplitude composition as a function of time. For example, with an accelerating forklift, the engine firing frequency and engine speed increase. Significantly faster over these increases the tire-road contact frequency; if e.g. the tires distributed over their circumference each have 28 wheel profile cleats, the wheel contact frequency increases by a factor of 28 faster than the wheel rotation frequency.
- the resulting complex evolution of the frequency and amplitude composition of the driver cabin vibration components can not be counteracted with measures operative for stationary external sound and vibration sources, such as the feedforward control described above.
- an inertial vibration exciter is attached to the disc as the actuator device, which vibrator can set the disc in vibration.
- Inertial-Schwingerreger (which are also referred to as shakers) are based in their operation on a movable in the housing of the vibrator along an axis inertial mass (actuator), which is driven to oscillate electromagnetically, wherein the oscillation frequency is adjustable by adjusting the electromagnetic drive frequency.
- the inertial vibration exciter is mounted on the disc in such a way that the axis of the oscillation movement is perpendicular to the disc plane in order to be able to couple mechanical vibrations into the disc effectively.
- the disc itself is the sound source, which generates in a manner to be described counter-noise for noise reduction in the interior of the cab.
- inertial mass of the inertial vibration exciter can be used for oscillation drivable actuator with an electromagnet, which is suspended on springs and on the two axially spaced ferromagnetic attraction elements act.
- An example of an inertial vibration exciter is in EP 3 217 053 A1 described.
- control unit is adapted to process the signals of the microphone directed to the interior of the driver's cab with an adaptive and predictive control algorithm, thereby generating a control signal for the inertial oscillator, around the disc to which the inertial vibrator is attached is to vibrate so that the disc generates counter-noise in the interior of the cab, which minimizes the error signal picked up by the microphone.
- an adaptive and predictive control algorithm makes it possible to counteract the frequency and amplitude composition temporally variable noise in the interior of the cab during operation of the work vehicle so that the counter sound already arrives at the location of the microphone when the then prevailing noise situation by this counter sound is destructive to compensate.
- the inertial oscillator should be able to be operated below 100 Hz, in particular in the low-frequency range, since in this Frequency range critical noise situations occur in cabs of work vehicles.
- IMC adaptive internal model controller
- the inertial vibrator is mounted horizontally and vertically outside the center of the disk to the disk.
- a horizontal direction is a direction parallel to the bottom surface on which the work vehicle stands
- a vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to this bottom surface.
- the microphone is placed on or in the housing of the inertial vibration exciter. If the microphone is located inside the housing, the microphone should be in the area of a housing opening, which allows the microphone to detect the sound in the interior of the driver's cab. In this embodiment, it is further advantageous for the microphone to be aligned in such a way that a central surface normal on the membrane of the microphone is perpendicular to the oscillation axis of the inertial vibration exciter. This avoids that the vibrations of the inertial vibration exciter additionally vibrate the membrane of the microphone, which could falsify the microphone signal.
- the arrangement of the microphone in the immediate vicinity of the inertial vibrator has the further advantage that thereby the acoustic transit time between microphone and inertial vibrator is very small, which makes the scheme more stable and robust against movements of the driver's head, because movements of the The driver's head would change the control path more when the microphone is placed closer to the driver's head.
- the control unit is set up to digitize the microphone signal at a sampling frequency of at least 20 kHz for digitization. Due to the oversampling, the low-pass filtering is required only from 10 kHz. However, this is already done physically by the inertia of the microphone membrane.
- Low-pass filtering is also not provided on the output side of the control unit because the inertia of the oscillating body in the inertial vibrator effectively acts as low-pass filtering.
- control unit is configured to adaptively perform the adaptive and predictive control algorithm only up to a predetermined cutoff frequency.
- This cut-off frequency can be adjusted depending on the distance between the microphone and the place where suppression by counter sound is supposed to be most effective (ears of the driver) and the cabin shape. By determining the cut-off frequency, it is possible to avoid producing counter-noise components which would lead to a reduction of the noise at the location of the microphone, but not at the actual operating location (ears of the driver).
- the control unit is provided after sampling at 20 kHz with a down sampler, which is adapted to the digitized Signal down-sampling to a maximum of 2 kHz.
- This down-sampling does not have the negative time-delay effect of low-pass filtering an analog signal, since this down-sampling is performed on the digitized signal, resulting in no significant delay.
- control unit is provided with an equalization filter in the adaptive and predictive control algorithm that is inverse to the minimum-phase component of the frequency response of the controlled system by the convergence time of the adaptive and predictive control algorithm frequency independent.
- the convergence speed of the adaptive and predictive control algorithm can be increased, since there are no frequency ranges with very high convergence times on the one hand and other frequency ranges with very low convergence time, which would mean that the longest convergence time would be considered decisive, but only one smaller mean convergence time, which then applies to all frequencies.
- the microphone attached to or integrated with the housing of the inertial vibrator, but also the control unit, with its electrical circuits and digital processor units as a control module, is mounted on or integrated into the housing of the inertial vibrator.
- a working vehicle with active noise reduction in the cab can be realized by attaching the inertial vibrator with the associated microphone and the associated control unit to the window of the cab and then connected to the DC electrical power supply in the cab. This makes it possible to retrofit a work vehicle without active noise reduction by installing and connecting a single component in a very simple manner.
- the invention can also be implemented if, in addition to openings with windows, an opening of the driver's cab is closed with a non-transparent pane on which the inertial vibration exciter could then be fastened in order to realize the active noise reduction in the driver's cab of the working vehicle.
- the primary signal is measured with a microphone, also referred to herein as an error microphone.
- the background noise is a multi-tone signal to which various frequency components contribute, which in turn are functions of time such as when the work vehicle is accelerating.
- An example of a contributing signal component is in Fig. 1 the engine ignition frequency of an accelerating forklift shown as a function of time.
- Another example is in Fig. 2 the wheel lug frequency of the accelerating forklift as a function the time shown, the forklift tires with 28 Radstollen, which are distributed over the circumference and come in contact with the driving surface successively in contact.
- the Radstollenfrequenz is then 28 times the wheel speed.
- the primary signal is a multitonal time-varying signal with frequency and amplitude modulation.
- An acoustic problem consists in the excitation of the cavity resonances of the driver's cab in the frequency range of 30 Hz to 50 Hz by the resulting from the engine rotational frequency and the wheel rotation frequency sinusoids of the primary signal.
- a disk with an inertial oscillator mounted on its surface is used as the actuator device.
- Fig. 3 schematically shows a driver's cab with a seat 10.
- a rear window is indicated, which is closed by a disc.
- Other windows on the sides and in the front of the cab are not shown for ease of illustration.
- Attached to the rear disc off-center, close to a corner is an inertial vibrator 4 whose axis of oscillation is perpendicular to the surface of the disc and which typically has a resonant frequency in the range of 20 to 90 Hz.
- an error microphone 6 is mounted, that receives the error signal in close proximity to the oscillator and directs to a control unit described below.
- the control unit then controls the Operation of the inertial vibration exciter 4 in such a manner that the vibrations of the rear disc caused by the inertial vibrator 4 generate counter-noise such that the error signal received by the error microphone 6 is minimal.
- a monitor microphone 8 In addition to the error microphone 6 is still a monitor microphone 8 indicated. However, the signal of this monitor microphone 8 is not included in the control, but is analyzed in this embodiment only for control to check how the active noise reduction near the head of the driver, at the top of the backrest of the driver's seat.
- the control signal is generated by the inertial vibration exciter on the inside of the rear window.
- the error microphone 4 is placed in close proximity to the inertial vibrator 4 thereto.
- the controller is currently implemented with Matlab Simulink on RCP platform (DS1202, dSpace); in the final execution, the controller is implemented on a serial DSP.
- the block diagram of the structure with primary signal generation, control loop and evaluation of the sound reduction by the monitor microphone is in Fig. 4 shown.
- the cabin is shown schematically as a dashed block.
- Disturbances such as engine and tire noise arrive via an interference transmission to and into the driver's cab and are detected there by the error microphone.
- the signal from the error microphone is amplified and then fed to an analog-to-digital converter.
- the digitized signal is passed to a controller in which an adaptive and predictive control algorithm is performed.
- the output of the regulator is then returned to a digital-to-analog converter transferred an analog signal, which is supplied to the actuator after amplification.
- the actuator is formed in the present case by the inertial vibrator on the disc.
- the controller controls the control signal for the inertial oscillator so that the generated by the inertial oscillator and the vibrating disc caused by vibration produced counter-structure after the structure-acoustic transmission 1 is superimposed with the external interference and extinguished at the location of the error microphone.
- Structure-acoustic transmission means that the mechanical speed of the vibration exciter is not transferred directly to the speed of the adjacent air layer via a rigid piston surface.
- the Inertial-Schwingerreger brings simplified a point force on the disc.
- the disk responds via the location and frequency-dependent transmission mobility with the surface speed, which in turn causes a sound pressure at different locations in the cabin via the location and frequency-dependent transmission impedance.
- the monitor and the error microphone are located at different locations in the cabin, there are two different transmission mobility transmission impedance paths from the actuator (vibrator) to the sensors located in Fig. 4 are referred to as structure-acoustic transmission 1 and 2.
- the interference transmission to two different locations takes place via two different paths, so that it must be distinguished between interference transmission to the error sensor and the monitor sensor, although the source of interference is identical.
- Fig. 5 is shown a block diagram of the control loop, wherein compared to Fig. 4 the controller off Fig. 4 in several Subcomponents is subdivided.
- the signal of the error microphone is subjected to an analog-to-digital conversion after passing through an amplifier.
- An antialiasing filter then acts on the digitized signal.
- the anti-aliasing filter is not realized here as a low-pass filter for the analog signal, but causes a sampling with a frequency of at least 20 kHz of the digitized signal. This has the advantage that the delay caused by the electrodynamic inertia of an analog low-pass filter can be avoided because the high-frequency sampling of the digitized signal is not associated with such a delay.
- a down-sampler is applied, which effects a down-sampling to 2 kHz.
- the actual control algorithm then runs in the block designated IMC (Internal Model Control).
- IMC Internal Model Control
- the output of the control algorithm then goes through an up sampler and then an interpolation filter.
- the output of the interpolation filter is subjected to a digital-to-analog conversion, the analog signal amplified and fed as a control signal to the inertial oscillator. Then, the structure-acoustic transmission of the vibrated disc over the volume of air in the interior of the cab takes place to the error microphone, where the counter sound generated in this way is to cancel out the external interference sound by superposition.
- the controller H ( z ) is implemented as an adaptive (normalized FxLMS) IMC with pre-equalization of the secondary path. Under assumption error-free A / D and D / A conversion is the control loop as discrete-time system in Fig. 6 shown.
- s ⁇ ges n s ⁇ n * s ⁇ inv n the impulse response of the total secondary distance with ⁇ ( n ) as an estimate of the impulse response of the secondary path s ( n ) and ⁇ inv ( n ) as an impulse response of an equalization filter for the secondary path.
- Equalization filter ⁇ inv ( z ) is used to reduce the disadvantages of the strong frequency selectivity of the secondary path S ( z ) for the adaptation.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Arbeitsfahrzeug mit einer Fahrerkabine, die einen geschlossenen Kabineninnenraum aufweist, der von strukturfesten Kabinenwandelementen und wenigstens einer Scheibe umgeben ist, die eine von den Kabinenwandelementen freigelassene Kabinenwandöffnung schließt, mit einer auf die Scheibe einwirkenden Aktuatoreinrichtung, mit einer Sensoreinrichtung und einer mit der Sensoreinrichtung und der Aktuatoreinrichtung verbundenen Steuereinheit, die dazu eingerichtet ist, in Abhängigkeit von Signalen der Sensoreinrichtung die Aktuatoreinrichtung zur Lärmreduzierung im Kabineninnenraum anzusteuern.The present invention relates to a work vehicle with a driver's cab, which has a closed cabin interior, which is surrounded by structurally stable cabin wall elements and at least one disc which closes a cabin wall opening released from the cabin wall elements, with an actuator device acting on the pane, with a sensor device and with a the sensor device and the actuator device connected control unit, which is adapted to control in response to signals of the sensor device, the actuator device for noise reduction in the cabin interior.
Die Erfindung betrifft Arbeitsfahrzeuge, worunter hierin z.B. Gabelstapler, Bagger, Mähdrescher, Planierraupen, Walzen für den Straßenbau, Traktoren etc. verstanden werden. In einem Arbeitsfahrzeug schützt eine geschlossene Fahrerkabine den Fahrer vor Umwelteinflüssen wie Lärm, Klima, Regen, herabfallenden Gegenständen etc.; insbesondere wegen des Schutzes vor Lärm in der Arbeitsumgebung ist die Fahrerkabine weitestgehend luftdicht abgeschlossen.The invention relates to work vehicles, including herein e.g. Forklift, excavator, combine harvester, bulldozer, rollers for road construction, tractors, etc. are understood. In a work vehicle, a closed driver's cab protects the driver from environmental influences such as noise, climate, rain, falling objects, etc .; In particular, because of the protection against noise in the working environment, the driver's cab is largely hermetically sealed.
In Bezug auf Lärm in Fahrerkabinen von Arbeitsfahrzeugen sind auch Versuche unternommen worden, Maßnahmen zur aktiven Lärmreduzierung durch Gegenschall zu ergreifen, nämlich im niedrigen Frequenzen unterhalb von 500 Hz (für höhere Frequenzen sind schalldämmende Materialen an den Innenwänden der Fahrerkabine effektiv). Beispiele für aktive Lärmreduzierung sind die in

Das beschriebene System ist insbesondere auf die Unterdrückung von stationären tonalen Geräuschkomponenten gerichtet, die die Resonanzen der Fahrerkabine anregen, wie die periodischen Geräusche, die durch die rotierenden Schneiden eines Mähdreschers erzeugt werden. Für Geräuschanteile außerhalb der Resonanzfrequenzen oder bei gedämpften Kabinenmoden führt die beschriebene Verfahrensweise nicht zur Reduktion von Lärm im Kopfbereich des Fahrers, da aufgrund der Laufzeitdifferenz vom Lautsprecher zum Kopfbereich und zum Mikrophon eine effektive Auslöschung der sich überlagernden Schallkomponenten nicht möglich ist. Grundsätzlich kann mit der vorgeschlagenen Sensor-Aktuator-Anordnung kein Lärm unterdrückt werden, bei dem die Änderungsdauer von Frequenz und/oder der Amplitude des Lärmschalls kürzer als die Laufzeit zwischen dem Sensor und dem Lautsprecher ist.The described system is particularly directed to the suppression of stationary tonal noise components that excite the cabin cabin resonances, such as the periodic noises generated by the rotating blades of a combine harvester. For noise components outside the resonance frequencies or in damped cabin modes, the described procedure does not result in the reduction of noise in the head area of the driver, since effective cancellation of the overlapping sound components is not possible due to the transit time difference from the loudspeaker to the head area and to the microphone. In principle, with the proposed sensor-actuator arrangement no noise can be suppressed in which the change duration of frequency and / or the amplitude of the noise is shorter than the transit time between the sensor and the loudspeaker.

Wie oben erwähnt sind die Fahrerkabinen von Arbeitsfahrzeugen wegen ihrer verschiedenen Schutzfunktionen weitestgehend luftdicht abgeschlossen. In Arbeitsfahrzeugen muss der Fahrer seine Umgebung sehr gut beobachten können, um Unfallgefahren erkennen zu können. Daher haben derartige Fahrerkabinen neben strukturfesten Kabinenwandelementen eine oder mehrere größere, von den Kabinenwandelementen freigelassene Öffnungen, die durch Scheiben geschlossen sind. Die Scheiben bestehen in der Regel aus transparentem Glas oder Kunststoff. Meist sind daher an allen Seiten der Fahrerkabine Wandöffnungen mit Scheiben als Fenster vorgesehen, so dass der Fahrer seine Umgebung nach vorne, nach hinten und zu beiden Seiten wahrnehmen kann. Schwingungstechnisch bildet das geschlossene Luftvolumen im Kabineninnenraum zusammen mit den Scheiben in den Kabinenwand-öffnungen ein Vibro-Akustisches-System (VAS), das bei tiefen Frequenzen schwach gedämpft und daher schwingungsanfällig ist. Anregungen des VAS erfolgen bei tiefen Frequenzen insbesondere durch einen Verbrennungsmotor des Arbeitsfahrzeugs, durch Hydraulik-Aggregate und durch Reifen-Fahrbahn-Wechselwirkungen, wie z.B. das Auftreffen der um den Umfang der Reifen verteilten Stollen des Profils auf die Fahrfläche. Es können daher hohe Schallpegel von über 110 dB in Resonanzbereichen des VAS bei ca. 40 Hz auftreten, die vom Fahrer als unangenehmes Brummen oder Wummern wahrgenommen werden.As mentioned above, the cabs of work vehicles are largely hermetically sealed because of their various protective functions. In work vehicles, the driver must be able to observe his surroundings very well in order to be able to detect accident risks. Therefore, such cabs have next to structurally fixed cabin wall panels one or more larger, released by the cabin wall elements openings which are closed by slices. The discs are made in the Usually made of transparent glass or plastic. Most are therefore provided on all sides of the cab wall openings with windows as windows, so that the driver can perceive its environment forward, backward and on both sides. In terms of vibration, the closed air volume in the cabin interior together with the panes in the cabin wall openings forms a vibro-acoustic system (VAS), which is weakly damped at low frequencies and therefore susceptible to vibration. Suggestions of the VAS take place at low frequencies, in particular by an internal combustion engine of the work vehicle, by hydraulic units and by tire-roadway interactions, such as the impact of the distributed around the circumference of the tire lugs of the profile on the running surface. Therefore, high sound levels of more than 110 dB can occur in resonance ranges of the VAS at approx. 40 Hz, which are perceived by the driver as unpleasant hum or noise.
Eine weitere Problematik besteht darin, dass die zur Fahrerkabine übertragenen Schwingungen sich nach Frequenz- und Amplitudenzusammensetzung als Funktion der Zeit schnell verändern können. Zum Beispiel erhöhen sich bei einem beschleunigenden Gabelstapler die Motorzündfrequenz und die Motordrehzahl. Erheblich schneller steigt gegenüber diesen die Reifen-Fahrbahn-Kontaktfrequenz; wenn z.B. die Reifen über ihren Umfang verteilt jeweils 28 Radprofilstollen haben, erhöht sich die Radstollen-Kontaktfrequenz um den Faktor 28 schneller als die Raddrehfrequenz. Die sich daraus ergebende komplexe Entwicklung der Frequenz- und Amplitudenzusammensetzung der auf die Fahrerkabine einwirkenden Schwingungskomponenten kann nicht mit Maßnahmen entgegengewirkt werden, die für stationäre externe Schall- und Vibrationsquellen funktionsfähig sind, wie etwa die oben beschriebene Feedforward-Steuerung.Another problem is that the vibrations transmitted to the driver's cabin can change rapidly according to frequency and amplitude composition as a function of time. For example, with an accelerating forklift, the engine firing frequency and engine speed increase. Significantly faster over these increases the tire-road contact frequency; if e.g. the tires distributed over their circumference each have 28 wheel profile cleats, the wheel contact frequency increases by a factor of 28 faster than the wheel rotation frequency. The resulting complex evolution of the frequency and amplitude composition of the driver cabin vibration components can not be counteracted with measures operative for stationary external sound and vibration sources, such as the feedforward control described above.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Arbeitsfahrzeug mit einer Fahrerkabine mit einer Aktuatoreinrichtung und einer diese betreibenden Steuereinheit zur aktiven Lärmreduzierung in der Fahrerkabine so auszugestalten, dass die oben beschriebenen erheblichen Amplituden der Schwingungen des Vibro-Akustischen-Systems aus dem Innenraum-Luftvolumen der Fahrerkabine und den Scheiben der Fahrerkabine im niederfrequenten Bereich und der damit verbundene Lärm effektiv unterdrückt werden und dass die Steuereinheit sich dabei den zeitveränderlichen Bedingungen der Frequenz- und Amplitudenzusammensetzung der auf das Vibro-Akustische-System einwirkenden Schwingungen beim Betrieb des Arbeitsfahrzeugs einstellen kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a work vehicle with a driver's cab with an actuator device and a to design this operating control unit for active noise reduction in the cab so that the above-described significant amplitudes of the vibrations of the vibratory acoustic system from the cabin air volume of the cab and the windows of the cab in the low-frequency range and the associated noise are effectively suppressed and that the control unit can adjust itself to the time-varying conditions of the frequency and amplitude composition of the vibration acting on the vibrating acoustic system during operation of the working vehicle.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dient das Arbeitsfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.To solve this problem, the working vehicle with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are set forth in the dependent claims.
Erfindungsgemäß ist zunächst vorgesehen, dass als Aktuatoreinrichtung an der Scheibe ein Inertial-Schwingerreger befestigt ist, der die Scheibe in Schwingungen versetzen kann. Inertial-Schwingerreger (die auch als Shaker bezeichnet werden) basieren in ihrer Funktionsweise auf einer im Gehäuse des Schwingerregers entlang einer Achse beweglich aufgehängten trägen Masse (Aktor), die elektromagnetisch zur Oszillation angetrieben wird, wobei die Schwingungsfrequenz durch Einstellung der elektromagnetischen Antriebsfrequenz einstellbar ist. Der Inertial-Schwingerreger ist dabei so an der Scheibe angebracht, dass die Achse der Oszillationsbewegung senkrecht auf der Scheibenebene steht, um so effektiv mechanische Schwingungen in die Scheibe einkoppeln zu können. Auf diese Weise wird die Scheibe selbst zur Schallquelle, die in noch zu beschreibender Weise Gegenschall zur Lärmreduzierung im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine erzeugt.According to the invention, it is initially provided that an inertial vibration exciter is attached to the disc as the actuator device, which vibrator can set the disc in vibration. Inertial-Schwingerreger (which are also referred to as shakers) are based in their operation on a movable in the housing of the vibrator along an axis inertial mass (actuator), which is driven to oscillate electromagnetically, wherein the oscillation frequency is adjustable by adjusting the electromagnetic drive frequency. The inertial vibration exciter is mounted on the disc in such a way that the axis of the oscillation movement is perpendicular to the disc plane in order to be able to couple mechanical vibrations into the disc effectively. In this way, the disc itself is the sound source, which generates in a manner to be described counter-noise for noise reduction in the interior of the cab.
Als träge Masse des Inertial-Schwingerregers kann ein zur Oszillation antreibbarer Aktor mit einem Elektromagneten dienen, der an Federn aufgehängt ist und auf den zwei axial beabstandete ferromagnetische Anziehelemente einwirken. Ein Beispiel eines Inertial-Schwingerregers ist in
Weiterhin ist erfindungsgemäß die Steuereinheit dazu eingerichtet, die Signale des auf den Innenraum der Fahrerkabine gerichteten Mikrophons mit einem adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus zu verarbeiten, um dadurch ein Steuersignal für den Inertial-Schwingerreger zu erzeugen, um die Scheibe, an der der Inertial-Schwingerreger befestigt ist, so in Schwingungen zu versetzen, dass die Scheibe Gegenschall im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine erzeugt, der das von dem Mikrophon aufgenommene Fehlersignal minimiert. Der Einsatz eines adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus ermöglicht es, dem nach Frequenz- und Amplitudenzusammensetzung zeitlich veränderlichen Lärm im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine beim Betrieb des Arbeitsfahrzeuges so entgegenzuwirken, dass der Gegenschall bereits dann am Ort des Mikrophons eintrifft, wenn die dann dort herrschende Lärmsituation durch diesen Gegenschall destruktiv zu kompensieren ist.Furthermore, according to the invention, the control unit is adapted to process the signals of the microphone directed to the interior of the driver's cab with an adaptive and predictive control algorithm, thereby generating a control signal for the inertial oscillator, around the disc to which the inertial vibrator is attached is to vibrate so that the disc generates counter-noise in the interior of the cab, which minimizes the error signal picked up by the microphone. The use of an adaptive and predictive control algorithm makes it possible to counteract the frequency and amplitude composition temporally variable noise in the interior of the cab during operation of the work vehicle so that the counter sound already arrives at the location of the microphone when the then prevailing noise situation by this counter sound is destructive to compensate.
Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass durch die Ankopplung des Inertial-Schwingerregers an einer Scheibe der Fahrerkabine eine besonders effektive und direkte mechanische Ankopplung an das Vibro-Akustische-System aus Innenraum-Luftvolumen und Scheiben der Fahrerkabine bewirkt wird, die eine besonders effektive Lärmunterdrückung im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine ermöglicht. Dadurch wird nicht nur den Resonanzschwingungen der Scheibe und des eingeschlossenen Luftvolumens der Fahrerkabine entgegengewirkt, sondern die Scheibe selbst als Gegenschallquelle betrieben.It has been found that the coupling of the inertial vibration exciter to a window of the driver's cab effects a particularly effective and direct mechanical coupling to the vibroacoustic system comprising interior air volumes and windows of the driver's cab which provide particularly effective noise suppression in the interior the driver's cab allows. As a result, not only the resonance vibrations of the disc and the trapped air volume of the driver's cabin counteracted, but operated the disc itself as a counter-noise source.
Der Inertial-Schwingerreger sollte insbesondere im Niederfrequenzbereich unterhalb von 100 Hz betreibbar sein, da in diesem Frequenzbereich kritische Lärmsituationen in Fahrerkabinen von Arbeitsfahrzeugen auftreten.The inertial oscillator should be able to be operated below 100 Hz, in particular in the low-frequency range, since in this Frequency range critical noise situations occur in cabs of work vehicles.
Die Befestigung des elektrodynamischen Inertial-Schwingerregers auf der Scheibe realisiert mit einem kompakten Aktuator (Inertial-Schwingerreger) einen Aufbau, mit dem durch die gezielt zu Schwingungen angeregten Scheibe Schall mit tiefen Frequenzen und hohen Schallpegeln im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine erzeugt werden kann, der zur Auslöschung des Lärms im Bereich des Mikrophons dient.The attachment of the electrodynamic inertial vibration exciter on the disc realized with a compact actuator (Inertial-Schwingerreger) a structure that can be generated by the deliberately excited to vibrate disc sound with low frequencies and high sound levels in the interior of the cab, which is to extinguish of the noise in the area of the microphone.
Adaptive und prädiktive Regel- oder Filteralgorithmen sind im Stand der Technik an sich bekannt. Steuereinheiten, die zur Durchführung eines adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus eingerichtet sind, sind auch unter dem Begriff adaptive Internal-Model-Controller (IMC) bekannt.Adaptive and predictive control or filtering algorithms are known in the art. Control units that are set up to implement an adaptive and predictive control algorithm are also known by the term adaptive internal model controller (IMC).
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Inertial-Schwingerreger in horizontaler und in vertikaler Richtung außerhalb der Mitte der Scheibe liegend an der Scheibe befestigt. Als horizontale Richtung wird hier eine Richtung parallel zur Bodenfläche, auf der das Arbeitsfahrzeug steht, bezeichnet und als vertikale Richtung eine zu dieser Bodenfläche senkrechte Richtung. Der Vorteil, den Inertial-Schwingerreger außermittig an der Scheibe zu platzieren besteht darin, dass die Schwingungsmode, deren Wellenlänge gleich der Länge der Scheibe in horizontaler Richtung ist, und die Schwingungsmode, deren Wellenlänge gleich der Höhe der Scheibe in vertikaler Richtung ist, genau in der Mitte der Scheibe Schwingungsknoten haben. An diese niederfrequenten Schwingungsmoden könnte ein mittig an der Scheibe befestigter Inertial-Schwingerreger nicht effektiv ankoppeln. Außerdem stört ein versetzt außerhalb der Mitte an der Scheibe angeordneter Inertial-Schwingerreger die Durchsicht durch die Scheibe weniger.In a preferred embodiment, the inertial vibrator is mounted horizontally and vertically outside the center of the disk to the disk. Here, a horizontal direction is a direction parallel to the bottom surface on which the work vehicle stands, and a vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to this bottom surface. The advantage of placing the inertial vibrator eccentrically on the disk is that the vibration mode whose wavelength is equal to the length of the disk in the horizontal direction and the vibration mode whose wavelength is equal to the height of the disk in the vertical direction, exactly the center of the disc have nodes of vibration. An inertial oscillator mounted centrally on the disk could not effectively couple to these low-frequency vibration modes. In addition, an off-center inertial vibrator located off center of the disk interferes less with transmission through the disk.
Nach einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass das Mikrophon an oder in dem Gehäuse des Inertial-Schwingerregers platziert ist. Wenn das Mikrophon im Inneren des Gehäuses angeordnet ist sollte das Mikrophon im Bereich einer Gehäuseöffnung liegen, die es ermöglicht, dass das Mikrophon den Schall im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine erfasst. In dieser Ausführungsform ist es weiter vorteilhaft, dass Mikrophon so ausgerichtet zu befestigen, dass eine zentrale Oberflächennormale auf der Membran des Mikrophons senkrecht zu der Oszillationsachse des Inertial-Schwingerregers steht. Dadurch wird vermieden, dass die Schwingungen des Inertial-Schwingerregers die Membran des Mikrophons zusätzlich in Schwingungen versetzen, was das Signal des Mikrophons verfälschen könnte.According to a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the microphone is placed on or in the housing of the inertial vibration exciter. If the microphone is located inside the housing, the microphone should be in the area of a housing opening, which allows the microphone to detect the sound in the interior of the driver's cab. In this embodiment, it is further advantageous for the microphone to be aligned in such a way that a central surface normal on the membrane of the microphone is perpendicular to the oscillation axis of the inertial vibration exciter. This avoids that the vibrations of the inertial vibration exciter additionally vibrate the membrane of the microphone, which could falsify the microphone signal.
Die Anordnung des Mikrophons in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zu dem Inertial-Schwingerreger hat den weiteren Vorteil, dass dadurch die akustische Laufzeit zwischen Mikrophon und Inertial-Schwingerreger sehr klein ist, was die Regelung stabiler und robuster gegenüber von Bewegungen des Kopfes des Fahrers macht, denn Bewegungen des Kopfes des Fahrers würden bei einem näher am Kopf des Fahrers platzierten Mikrophon die Regelstrecke stärker verändern.The arrangement of the microphone in the immediate vicinity of the inertial vibrator has the further advantage that thereby the acoustic transit time between microphone and inertial vibrator is very small, which makes the scheme more stable and robust against movements of the driver's head, because movements of the The driver's head would change the control path more when the microphone is placed closer to the driver's head.
Üblicherweise wäre es sinnvoll, wegen des hier allein interessierenden Niederfrequenzbereichs von Frequenzen kleiner als 100 Hz das Mikrophonsignal zunächst einer Tiefpassfilterung zu unterziehen, da nur diese Frequenzen in die Regelung einbezogen werden müssen. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass anstelle einer Tiefpassfilterung des analogen Mikrophonsignals die Steuereinheit dazu eingerichtet ist, zur Digitalisierung das Mikrophonsignal mit einer Abtastfrequenz von wenigstens 20 kHz abzutasten. Durch die Überabtastung wird die Tiefpassfilterung erst ab 10 kHz benötigt. Diese erfolgt aber schon physikalisch durch die Trägheit der Mikrophonmembran.Usually, it would make sense to first subject the microphone signal to low pass filtering because of the low frequency range of frequencies less than 100 Hz, which is of interest here alone, since only these frequencies must be included in the control. In a preferred embodiment it is provided that instead of a low-pass filtering of the analog microphone signal, the control unit is set up to digitize the microphone signal at a sampling frequency of at least 20 kHz for digitization. Due to the oversampling, the low-pass filtering is required only from 10 kHz. However, this is already done physically by the inertia of the microphone membrane.
Auf der Ausgangsseite der Steuereinheit ist ebenfalls keine Tiefpassfilterung vorgesehen, da die Trägheit des oszillierenden Körpers in dem Inertial-Schwingerreger effektiv als Tiefpassfilterung wirkt.Low-pass filtering is also not provided on the output side of the control unit because the inertia of the oscillating body in the inertial vibrator effectively acts as low-pass filtering.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform, ist die Steuereinheit dazu eingerichtet, den adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus nur bis zu einer vorgegebenen Grenzfrequenz adaptierend durchzuführen. Diese Grenzfrequenz lässt sich in Abhängigkeit vom Abstand zwischen dem Mikrophon und dem Ort, wo die Auslöschung durch Gegenschall effektiv am wirksamsten sein soll (Ohren des Fahrers) und der Kabinenform ab. Durch Bestimmung der Grenzfrequenz kann vermieden werden, dass Gegenschallkomponenten erzeugt werden, die zwar am Ort des Mikrophons, nicht aber am tatsächlichen Wirkungsort (Ohren des Fahrers) zu einer Verminderung des Lärms führen würden.In a preferred embodiment, the control unit is configured to adaptively perform the adaptive and predictive control algorithm only up to a predetermined cutoff frequency. This cut-off frequency can be adjusted depending on the distance between the microphone and the place where suppression by counter sound is supposed to be most effective (ears of the driver) and the cabin shape. By determining the cut-off frequency, it is possible to avoid producing counter-noise components which would lead to a reduction of the noise at the location of the microphone, but not at the actual operating location (ears of the driver).
Damit nach der Abtastung des Mikrophonsignals mit 20 kHz der Rechenaufwand durch die hohe Abtastfrequenz nicht zu einer signifikanten Erhöhung der Rechenzeit im übrigen Regelalgorithmus führt, ist die Steuereinheit nach der Abtastung mit 20 kHz mit einem Down-Sampler versehen, der dazu eingerichtet ist, das digitalisierte Signal einem Down-Sampling auf höchstens 2 kHz zu unterziehen. Dieses Down-Sampling hat nicht den negativen zeitlich verzögernden Effekt einer Tiefpassfilterung eines analogen Signals, da dieses Down-Sampling für das digitalisierte Signal durchgeführt wird, was keine signifikante Verzögerung mit sich bringt.So that after the sampling of the microphone signal at 20 kHz, the computational effort by the high sampling frequency does not lead to a significant increase in the computational time in the rest of the control algorithm, the control unit is provided after sampling at 20 kHz with a down sampler, which is adapted to the digitized Signal down-sampling to a maximum of 2 kHz. This down-sampling does not have the negative time-delay effect of low-pass filtering an analog signal, since this down-sampling is performed on the digitized signal, resulting in no significant delay.
Zur Beschleunigung des adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die Steuereinheit mit einem Entzerrungsfilter in dem adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus versehen ist, dass invers zum minimalphasigen Anteil des Frequenzganges der Regelstrecke ist, um die Konvergenzzeit des adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus frequenzunabhängig zu machen. Auf diese Weise kann die Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit des adaptiven und prädiktiven Regelalgorithmus erhöht werden, da es keine Frequenzbereiche mit sehr hohen Konvergenzzeiten einerseits und andere Frequenzbereiche mit sehr niedrigerer Konvergenzzeit gibt, was bedeuten würde, dass die längste Konvergenzzeit als maßgeblich zu berücksichtigen wäre, sondern nur noch eine kleinere mittlere Konvergenzzeit, die dann für alle Frequenzen gilt.In order to accelerate the adaptive and predictive control algorithm, it is further provided that the control unit is provided with an equalization filter in the adaptive and predictive control algorithm that is inverse to the minimum-phase component of the frequency response of the controlled system by the convergence time of the adaptive and predictive control algorithm frequency independent. In this way, the convergence speed of the adaptive and predictive control algorithm can be increased, since there are no frequency ranges with very high convergence times on the one hand and other frequency ranges with very low convergence time, which would mean that the longest convergence time would be considered decisive, but only one smaller mean convergence time, which then applies to all frequencies.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist nicht nur das Mikrophon an dem Gehäuse des Inertial-Schwingerregers angebracht oder darin integriert, sondern ist auch die Steuereinheit mit ihren elektrischen Schaltkreisen und digitalen Prozessoreinheiten als ein Steuerbaustein zusammengefasst an dem Gehäuse des Inertial-Schwingerregers angebracht oder darin integriert. In dieser Ausführungsform kann ein Arbeitsfahrzeug mit aktiver Lärmreduzierung in der Fahrerkabine realisiert werden, indem der Inertial-Schwingerreger mit dem damit verbundenen Mikrophon und der damit verbundenen Steuereinheit an der Scheibe der Fahrerkabine befestigt wird und dann mit der elektrischen Gleichstromversorgung in der Fahrerkabine verbunden wird. Dadurch ist die Nachrüstung eines Arbeitsfahrzeugs ohne aktive Lärmreduzierung durch den Einbau und den Anschluss einer einzigen Komponente auf sehr einfache Weise möglich.In a preferred embodiment, not only is the microphone attached to or integrated with the housing of the inertial vibrator, but also the control unit, with its electrical circuits and digital processor units as a control module, is mounted on or integrated into the housing of the inertial vibrator. In this embodiment, a working vehicle with active noise reduction in the cab can be realized by attaching the inertial vibrator with the associated microphone and the associated control unit to the window of the cab and then connected to the DC electrical power supply in the cab. This makes it possible to retrofit a work vehicle without active noise reduction by installing and connecting a single component in a very simple manner.
Soweit in der vorliegenden Anmeldung von einer "Scheibe" die Rede ist, wird dies in der Praxis in der Regel eine transparente Scheibe aus Glas oder Kunststoff sein. Grundsätzlich ist die Erfindung aber auch realisierbar, wenn neben Öffnungen mit Fenstern eine Öffnung der Fahrerkabine mit einer nicht transparenten Scheibe geschlossen ist, an der dann der Inertial-Schwingerreger befestigt werden könnten, um die aktive Lärmreduzierung in der Fahrerkabine des Arbeitsfahrzeuges zu realisieren.As far as in the present application of a "disc" is mentioned, this will usually be a transparent glass or plastic in practice. In principle, however, the invention can also be implemented if, in addition to openings with windows, an opening of the driver's cab is closed with a non-transparent pane on which the inertial vibration exciter could then be fastened in order to realize the active noise reduction in the driver's cab of the working vehicle.

In der Fahrerkabine eines Arbeitsfahrzeugs wird das Primärsignal (Störschall) mit einem Mikrophon, das hierin auch als Fehlermikrophon bezeichnet wird, gemessen.

Ein akustisches Problem besteht in der Anregung der Hohlraumresonanzen der Fahrerkabine im Frequenzbereich von 30 Hz bis 50 Hz durch die aus der Motordrehfrequenz und der Raddrehfrequenz resultierenden Sinusoiden des Primärsignals. Um diese relativ niedrigen Frequenzen ausreichend durch einen Aktuator anzuregen, wird eine Scheibe mit einem auf deren Oberfläche befestigten Inertial-Schwingerreger als Aktuatoreinrichtung eingesetzt.An acoustic problem consists in the excitation of the cavity resonances of the driver's cab in the frequency range of 30 Hz to 50 Hz by the resulting from the engine rotational frequency and the wheel rotation frequency sinusoids of the primary signal. In order to sufficiently excite these relatively low frequencies by means of an actuator, a disk with an inertial oscillator mounted on its surface is used as the actuator device.

Dann erfolgt die Struktur-Akustische Übertragung von der in Schwingung versetzten Scheibe über das Luftvolumen im Innenraum der Fahrerkabine zum Fehlermikrophon, wo der so erzeugte Gegenschall den externen Störungsschall durch Überlagerung auslöschen soll.Finally, the output of the interpolation filter is subjected to a digital-to-analog conversion, the analog signal amplified and fed as a control signal to the inertial oscillator. Then, the structure-acoustic transmission of the vibrated disc over the volume of air in the interior of the cab takes place to the error microphone, where the counter sound generated in this way is to cancel out the external interference sound by superposition.
