Abstract

PURPOSE:To make boom driving stable without being influenced by fluctuating an engine speed by supplying delivery oil of an engine-driven oil hydraulic pump to a boom driving hydraulic cylinder through a solenoid proportional valve, and controlling an opening of this valve gradually increased/decreased in the beginning of opening/closing the valve. CONSTITUTION:When a push button 1 is passed, since a pulse is generated from an acceleration pulse oscillator 3, a number of the pulses are counted by an up counter 5, and a count value is output as a binary code. This binary code is converted into a hexadecimal digital signal by a decoder circuit 6A, next by a DA converter 7, into an analog value by a transfer characteristic curve of feeding an output of fixed value in the case of exceeding an upper limit value, and after amplification by an amplifier 8, the value is applied to a solenoid 14 of a solenoid proportional valve 9. In this way, a pressure oil flow of the solenoid proportional valve 9 is gradually increased in the beginning, to drive a hydraulic cylinder 18 gradually started of a boom 17, and actuated at a fixed speed after a fixed time. At lying motion driving time of the boom, it is similarly controlled by action in a side of control constitution 21 to 34.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a boom control device driven by a hydraulic cylinder used in crane trucks, washing trucks, concrete pumping vehicles at high places, cargo trucks and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, oil in a hydraulic cylinder that drives a boom is pumped by a hydraulic pump that is driven by an engine of a vehicle, and is sent to the hydraulic cylinder of the boom to raise and lower the boom.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Ups and downs of a conventional boom
The turning / stopping operation is performed by a switching valve for opening / closing switching provided in the oil supply passage to the hydraulic cylinder. As a result, fluctuations in the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic pump directly affect the hydraulic cylinder, and fluctuations in the rotational speed of the pump during engine operation and boom operation affect the hydraulic cylinder, causing the boom to sway and become unstable and unstable. , There was a risk of work. The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve these conventional problems, and to provide a stable and safe boom drive control device that is not affected by the engine, does not shake the boom.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention, which has solved the above-mentioned problems, is to provide an acceleration pulse transmitter and a deceleration pulse transmitter which are operated by start and stop pushbuttons for operating a boom, respectively, and the acceleration pulse transmitter. An up counter that counts the pulses that are output, a down counter that counts the pulses that the deceleration pulse oscillator outputs, and a binary code that is output by the up counter and the down counter are added and converted to a hexadecimal output code. A decoding circuit, a DA converter that inputs the hexadecimal output code of the decoding circuit and converts it into an analog signal, a power amplifier that widens the analog signal of the DA converter, and a boom drive hydraulic pressure with the output of the power amplifier. A boom drive characterized by having an electromagnetic proportional valve for electromagnetically controlling the cylinder In the control device.

[0005]

In the present invention, in order to operate the boom, when the push button for starting is pressed, the acceleration pulse transmitter continuously generates pulses,
The up counter counts the pulses and outputs the number of pulses as a binary code. The binary code signal is converted into a hexadecimal digital code by a decoding circuit. The hexadecimal digital value output is an integer value that continuously increases from 0. After a certain time (acceleration time), the binary code signal becomes the upper limit value, and thereafter, the constant upper limit value is output from the decoding circuit.
The digital code value output from the decoding circuit is converted into an analog value by the DA converter, and after being amplified by the power amplifier, the solenoid proportional valve is proportionally controlled. As a result, the solenoid proportional valve is gradually opened, and oil is sent to the hydraulic cylinder with a constant opening after the acceleration time. When the stop push button is pressed, the deceleration pulse oscillator / down counter and the decode circuit work to subtract the upper limit binary code value input to the decode circuit, and the hexadecimal digital output from the decode circuit. The value gradually decreases from a constant value. This gradually decreasing hexadecimal digital signal is converted into an analog value by the DA converter, and after being amplified by the power amplifier, it controls the solenoid proportional valve. As a result, the opening of the solenoid proportional valve gradually decreases from open to closed. As described above, since the opening degree of the solenoid proportional valve gradually changes at the time of starting and stopping, the hydraulic cylinder is not suddenly operated, and the boom is less likely to sway.

The digital signal of the up counter 5 is input to the DA converter 7 and converted into an analog value by the conversion characteristic curve shown in FIG.
