Description

割草机 技术领域
本发明涉及一种电动的割草机, 尤其是一种切割速度能够恒定的电动割 草机。
背景技术
作为适于快速高效的修整草坪的工具, 割草机在城市绿化和家庭除草等 场合应用广泛。 出于降低空气污染的考虑, 电动割草机较之汽动割草机更为 受到欢迎, 而直流无绳割草机由于其移动的自由性更受用户的青睐, 并且, 直流电机具有良好的调速性能, 如可实现无级调速、 调速范围宽、 低速性能 好、 高起动转矩、 高效率等。
然而, 各种割草机都依然给城市环境带来严重的噪声污染。
割草机的噪声主要由电机和刀片的高速转动所产生,通常可达到 90分贝 以上, 而人在 50分贝以上的噪音环境中就会感到明显的不适, 所以割草机在 工作时会严重影响周围的居民的正常生活。
割草机的切割刀片的转速通常在 3000— 4000转之间,这一速度具有非常 优异的切割效果。 但另一方面, 切割刀片的转速在降低到低于 3000转时, 依 然可以良好的切割较低的草。 并且, 降低割草机的工作转速, 可以有效地降 低割草机产生的噪声, 但这同时也会带来割较高的草时的效率的下降。 因此, 选择合适的转速, 在割草效率和噪声之间取得一个平衡是较难的, 而且, 这 将使得割草机仅能割除较浅的草, 从而限制了割草机的使用范围。

具体实施方式
以下结合附图说明本发明的具体实施方式。
本发明的割草机可以是任意类型的, 如, 割草机可选的可以为交流割草 机或直流割草机, 可以为旋转式割草机、 气浮和筒式割草机, 也可以为手推 式割草机、 自驱割草机或全自动智能割草机, 割草机的具体类型并不影响本 发明的实施。 割草机具有动力提供装置, 若具体为具有交流电机的割草机, 则其动力提供装置相应为交流电接入装置,若具体为具有直流电机的割草机, 则其动力提供装置相应为安装在壳体中的电池。 图 1所示为本发明的具体实施方式的具有速度控制装置的、 具有直流电 机的割草机 1。 割草机 1包括壳体 3, 壳体 3上设置有凹槽 22, 凹槽 22用于 安放电池 12, 该电池 12为割草机 1 的各种功能提供能源。 优选的, 本实施 例中采用额定电压 36伏、 额定电流 12安的可充电电池, 然而, 其他型号的 电池也是可用的, 例如, 额定电压 24伏、 额定电流 17安的可充电电池。 割 草机 1的壳体 3上连接并延伸出供操作者握持以及推动割草机 1行走的手柄, 手柄上设置有割草机的功能控制部件,如开关和割草机的自驱速度调节元件。
图 2为本发明的速度控制装置 14的结构框图, 进一步参照图 2, 割草机 1还包括用于提供旋转输出以驱动刀片 8割草的电机 4,电机 4具有一个输出 旋转运动的电机轴 6。 本实施例中, 电机 4 为直流电机, 具体可以为直流永 磁电机或者直流无刷电机;割草机 1 的壳体 3在下方向割草机 1 的内部凹进, 形成一个刀片腔体 26, 刀片腔体 26 内容纳有用于切割修整草皮的刀片 8, 刀 片 8和割草电机 4的电机轴 6直接连接, 中间不设任何减速齿轮系统。 刀片 8的两端的一个侧边分别形成切削刃 10, 切割刃 10为弧形凸起形状, 且刀片 8具有一个内部凹陷区域 24, 用于抬高切割下的碎草。 然而, 刀片结构并不 局限于上述的方式, 例如, 刀片可以整体成型为 S状, 也可以大致呈直线, 刀片的具体形式并不影响本发明的实施。 本实施例还包括用于沿着需要修整 的草坪驱动割草机 1 的电动的驱动电机(图未示), 该驱动电机可操作地与电 池 12连接。
电池 12和电机 4之间设有速度控制装置 14, 速度控制装置 14包括设置 的临靠电机 4的速度传感器 16,速度传感器 16用于监测电机 4的当前转速 n, 并将监测到的当前转速 n发送到比较元件 18。 比较元件 18可选择的具有或 不具有预设恒定转速 n*。 当比较元件 18具有预设恒定转速 n*时, 速度控制 装置 14处于恒速控制状态。比较元件 1 8将速度传感器 16传送的电机 4的当 前转速 n与预设恒定转速 n*进行比较, 用当前转速 n减去预设恒定转速 n*, 得出转速偏差 Δ η, 并将与 Δ η相关的信号输出传递给能量控制元件 20。 能量 控制元件 20根据比较元件 18输出的信号,调整自电池 12提供给电机 4的能 量。 具体为, 当当前转速 η大于预设恒定转速 η*, 转速偏差 Δ η大于 0时, 能量控制元件 20减少电池 12提供给电机 4的能量, 使当前转速 η降低, 偏 差 Δ η 降低以趋近于 0 ; 当当前转速 η 小于预设恒定转速 η*, 转速偏差 Δ η 小于 0时, 能量控制元件 20增加电池 12提供给电机 4的能量, 使当前转速 n增加, 转速偏差 Δ η增加以趋近于 0, 速度控制装置 14不断的根据转速偏 差 Δ η调节电池 12提供给电机 4的能量, 以保证电机 4的转速保持为预设恒 定转速 η*。 当比较元件 18不具有预设恒定转速 η*时, 速度控制装置 14不对 电机的转速进行限制, 速度控制装置 14处于全速控制状态。 需要指出的是, 由于电机 4的电机轴 6和刀片 8直接连接, 所以, 刀片的切割速度等于电机 的当前转速 η。
比较元件 18 的预设恒定转速 η*是可选择的, 操作者可以根据工作需要 选择。 预设恒定转速 η*可以采用无极调速方式或者档位调节方式进行设定。 本实施例中的速度控制装置 14具有两档可调节的预设的恒定速度值 η*,分别 为 2500转每分和 3000转每分。
图 3 所示为本发明的速度控制装置 14 的电路框图, 该电路包括主开关 30, 主开关 30用于控制整个电路的打开和关断; 比较元件 18, 具体形式为 微控制器(MCU), 速度传感器 16, 具体形式为霍尔传感器(Hall Sensor)或光 电传感器,能量控制元件 20, 具体形式为 MOS场效应管(MOSfet)。 如业界人 士容易知悉的, 这些元件的具体形式的选择是多样的, 不限于本电路框图中 的具体形式, 例如, 比较元件 18也可以为模拟比较电路, 速度传感器 16可 以为任何类型的转速度传感器。
微控制器为本实施例的割草机 1 的主控芯片, 其用于监控割草机 1 的特 定工作参数的信号, 根据信号计算发出相应的工作指令。 例如, 主控芯片在 割草机 1 发生堵转时, 发出停机的指令; 在操作者将刀片转速设定为 2500 转每分时, 控制电机驱动刀片以基本上 2500转每分恒速转动。 在工业上, 刀 片的转速允许有上下 5%的误差, 即基本上 2500转每分是指刀片转速在 2500 转每分上下浮动, 但位于每分钟 2375至每分钟 2625转之间。
该电路还包括电源, 即可充电的电池 12。 电池 12通过主开关 30 以及第 一个变压电路 32, 第二个变压电路 34与微控制器相连, 给微控制器提供稳 压 5伏电源。
该电路中还包括具体为直流永磁电机的电机 4。 电机 4与具体为 MOS管 的能量控制元件 20—起, 与电池 12及主开关 30串联。
该电路包括电机转速监测部分。 如前所述的, 可以采用各种转速表传感 器直接监测电机 4的转速, 也可以通过监测电机 4的电压或者电流间接计算 出电机 4的转速, 其具体形式不在此赘述。 在本实施例中, 采用霍尔传感器 检测电机的当前转速 n, 其实现方式为: 在电机轴 6上套设 4对极磁环, 在 贴近极磁环的位置设置霍尔感应部件, 这样, 电机轴每转动一周, 霍尔感应 部件输出四个电压方波信号, 并输出到微控制器的转速信号输入端。 微控制 器通过单位时间内采集的电压方波信号的数量, 即可换算得出电机的当前转 速 n。 如前所述的, 电机 4和刀片 8之间不具有任何减速机构, 即电机 4的 当前转速 n与割草机 1 的刀片 8的切割速度相等, 然而, 电机 4和刀片 8之 间也可以设置减速机构。
该电路还包括具体为 MOS场效应管的能量控制元件 20。 MOS场效应管 具有根据接收到的脉冲宽度频宽比, 迅速的导通、 关断。 在本实施例中, 微 控制器以 2000HZ 的频率输出脉冲宽度频宽比信号, 即脉冲宽度频宽比信号 具有周期 T=0.5 毫秒。 该脉冲宽度频宽比信号经 MOS 场效应管驱动电路放 大, 由 5伏变为 12伏, 以驱动 MOS场效应管导通关断。 在周期 Τ内, 脉冲 信号具有一个高电平和一个低电平, 高电平和低电平在周期 Τ内持续时间长 度的比值即为可变化的脉冲宽度频宽比。其中,在脉冲信号为高电平时, MOS 场效应管处于导通的状态, 此时电池 12的电压可以通过 MOS场效应管施加 到电机 4上; 在脉冲信号为低电平时, MOS场效应管处于关闭的状态, 此时 电池 12的电压无法通过 MOS场效应管施加到电机 4上(但可以通过二极管续 流)。 这样, 通过调节 MOS场效应管的脉冲宽度频宽比, 即可以调节周期 Τ 内电压有效的施加到电机 4上的时间, 即可以调节周期 Τ 内电池 12传输给 电机 4 的能量, 以及在宏观上一定时间内电池 12 两端的电压。 由于周期 Τ 持续时间短, 在操作者可感知的时间上电机 4始终是被驱动的。
该电路还包括速度选择机构 28, 该速度选择机构 28 连接微控制器的端 子, 通过电平高低的变化设定比较元件 18(即微处理器)及割草机 1 的速度控 制装置 4的状态, 供操作者操作选择电机 4及刀片 8转动速度的控制方式。 在本实施例中, 速度选择机构 28 可以选择三种速度模式, 分别为恒速 2500 转每分、 恒速 3000转每分、 全速转动。 速度选择机构 28具体可以为旋钮式 的速度切换钮、或按压式的速度切换按钮(可以具有多个按钮分别对应不同的 速度)、 或滑移式的速度切换钮、 或杆式的速度切换杆, 在此不再一一列举。
图 4为本发明的恒速调节流程图。
如图 4, 主开关 30打开时, 控制电路通电, 微控制器被预置, 预置包括 微控制器内的寄存器初始化, 以及定时器复位调整。 在本阶段, 微控制器会 读取速度设定部分输入的信号, 设定预设恒定转速 n*。
微控制器预置后, 进入堵转判断阶段。
在某些环境中, 例如由于刀片 8撞击到物体, 或者割草机 1进入非常深 的草时, 割草机 1 的刀片 8会急剧减速, 这时电机 4发出的电流会骤增至一 个非常高的数值, 为了保护电机 4和驱动电路, 这时应该关断割草机 1。
微控制器接收霍尔传感器发送的电压方波信号, 并通过单位时间内的方 波信号数量换算得出微控制器可识别的电机 4及刀片 8的当前转速 n。然后, 将换算得出的电机 4的当前转速 n与预设堵转转速 nd相比较, 若电机 4当前 转速 n高于预设堵转转速 nd, 则判定割草机 1未堵转, 程序进入下一阶段; 若电机 4的当前转速 n低于预设堵转转速 nd, 则开始计时, 若在预设堵转时 间 td内, 当前转速 n上升至高于预设堵转转速 nd, 则判定割草机 1未堵转, 程序进入下一阶段; 若电机 4当前转速 n在预设堵转时间 td内始终低于预设 堵转转速 nd, 则判定割草机 1 处于堵转状态, 微控制器关断电机 4, 割草机 1停机。 在实践上, 将预设堵转转速设定在 100至 400转之间, 将预设堵转 时间设定在 2至 5秒之间是合适的, 本实施例中, 优选的, 预设堵转转速 nd 设定为 200转每分, 预设堵转时间 td设定为 3秒。
若在堵转判断阶段判定割草机 1未堵转, 程序进入转速调节阶段。
如前所述的, 转速调节的原理为, 在恒速控制的状态下, 微控制器内预 置有预设恒定转速 n*, 微控制器调节输出的脉冲宽度频宽比信号的频宽比, 从而变化 MOS场效应管的导通时间, 在 MOS场效应管导通时, 电机 4的两 端才会受到直流电池 12的电压, 在不导通时, 电机 4的两端没有受到电压, 这样, 通过调节脉冲宽度频宽比信号的频宽比, 可以调节一定时间周期内施 加给电机 4有效电压的时间比例, 进而调节在宏观上一定时间内施加到电机 4两端的电压, 以及电池 12输出的能量, 进而调节当前转速 n。 当电机 4的 当前转速 n低于预设恒定转速 n*时, 微控制器调节降低脉冲宽度频宽比信号 的频宽比, 电机 4两端的电压以及接受的能量增加, 电机 4的当前转速 n得 到提高, 使之接近于预设恒定转速 n* ; 当电机 4的当前转速 n高于预设恒定 转速 n*时, 微控制器调节提高脉冲宽度频宽比信号的频宽比, 电机 4两端的 电压以及接受的能量减少, 电机 4的当前转速 n降低, 使之接近于预设恒定 转速 n*。
具体的, 微控制器将电机 1 的当前转速 n和预设恒定转速 n*比较, 得出 转速的偏差 Δ η,微控制器根据偏差 Δ η计算得出当前为达到预设恒定转速 η* 应输出脉冲宽度频宽比信号, 脉冲宽度频宽比信号经 MOS 场效应管驱动电 路放大并传递到 MOS场效应管, 以控制电池 12特定时间内输送给电机 4的 能量, 达到预设恒定转速 η*。
在本实施例中, 微控制器采用比例积分微分(PID)算法计算其输出的脉冲 信号频宽比。 比例 -积分 -微分 (PID ) 算法是工业上常见的控制算法。 在 PID 控制里, 这个算法会计算比例, 积分, 微分的响应和这三者的和, 以此来计 算真实的输出。
进一步的, 本实施例采用增量式 PID算法。 在调节过程中, 微处理器每 50毫秒对电机转速进行取样计算, 并将其存储, 微处理器根据当前转速、 前 次转速, 再前次转速进行比例积分微分计算, 得出输出脉冲宽度频宽比信号。
具体的, 脉冲宽度调制信号的频宽比可根据以下的方法计算来获得: 第一、 霍尔传感器测量电机 4 的当前转速 η, 输出电压方波信号到微控 制器。
第二、 微控制器记录当前电机 4 当前转速 η、 前次电机转速 nl、 再前次 电机转速 η2, 并计算它们的偏差。
第三、 根据转速偏差, 调整脉冲宽度频宽比(PWM 占空比)。
第四、 MOS场效应管根据接收的信号调节电机 4两端的电压, 调节转速 逼近于预设的恒定转速。
然后, 程序返回计算电机 4的当前转速 η的阶段, 按前述的判断堵转、 计算脉冲宽度频宽比, 调节电机 4转速, 这样循环继续, 直到割草机 1停机 为止。
以下描述预设恒定速度 η*的选择。
通常意义上, 转速与噪声相对应的升高和降低: 转速升高, 噪声升高; 转速降低, 噪声降低。 同时, 转速与切割效率同样对应的升高和降低。 转速 升高, 切割效率升高; 转速降低时, 切割效率也随之降低。 因而, 在寻求低 噪声的同时必须兼顾切割效率, 寻找一个恰当的转速, 达到噪声和切割效率 的一个平衡点。
在割草机实际的使用中, 在以特定的方式切割某些特定的草况的草时, 并不需要极高的效率, 这时, 较高的转速在没有明显的提高切割效率的同时, 还带来了额外的噪音污染。 通常, 标准的草高为 90mm, 而割草机 1 具有切 割深度的调节机构, 以选择性的将草切割到不同的高度。 操作者并不总是以 最深的切割深度来切割。如同业界所常见的, 本实施方式的割草机 1具有 1 -6 档可调节的切割高度, 1 档切割最浅, 需要的切割转速最低, 然后切割深度 依次上升, 到 6档切割最深, 需要的切割转速最高。 在标准密度的草况下, 在切割转速为 2000转的时候, 割草机 1处于 1、 2档时切割依然可以有良好 的切割效率, 在切割转速为 2500转时, 割草机 1处于 1、 2、 3、 4档依然可 以有良好的切割效率, 在切割效率为 3000转时, 1、 2、 3、 4、 5、 6档均可 以有良好的切割效率。 结合噪声综合考虑, 在 2000转时, 噪声很低, 然而适 用范围也比较小, 仅能切割很浅的深度。 转速上升达到 2500转时, 噪声有所 升高, 但依然处于可接受的范围, 并且, 可以切割 1、 2、 3、 4档的切割深度, 进而, 转速上升到 3000转每分时, 噪声再次提升, 切割范围也提升, 可以切 割标准草况各个档位的切割深度。 因而 2500转每分和 3000转每分具有较高 的可实施性和适应性, 噪声较低而且应用范围较广。 然而, 密度大于标准草 况的草坪也是常见的, 为了尽可能的保证切割效率, 并仍然控制噪声, 割草 机 1可以进一步的具有切割转速 3800转每分的预设恒定转速。
同时需要指出, 割草机的切割噪声和刀片的长度存在相关性。 具体的, 刀片长度越长, 则相同转速下的噪声越大, 同时刀片的切割效率也越高。 在 本具体实施方式中, 采用了 460毫米的刀片, 相应的配合 2500转和 3000转 的预设恒定转速, 以达到最佳效果。
以上所描述的为一种优选的实施方案, 在实际设计中, 根据地区差异和 使用习惯的差异, 预设恒定转速可以在 2000转每分到 3800转每分之间作合 适的选择, 为了尽可能的控制噪声, 预设恒定转速应尽可能的在 2000转每分 到 3000转每分之间作合适的选择, 如 2100转每分, 2400转每分, 2700转每 分等。
根据测试, 当环境噪音在 50分贝左右时, 本实施例的割草机在 2500转 恒速档下, 切割噪音在 73 分贝左右; 在 3000 转恒速档下, 切割噪声在 76 分贝左右, 远低于普通割草机 95分贝左右的噪音。 因此, 本实施例的割草机 设置的具有 2500转每分和 3000转每分两个预设恒定转速。 然而, 2000转到 3000转之间噪声都仍是可以接受的, 并且也可以或宽或窄的可以应用到实际 的割草情景中。
进一步的, 本实施例的割草机 1还具有全速档, 在这个档位, 微控制器 仅仅判断割草机 1是否堵转, 不对割草机 1 的切割速度做任何的限制, 以适 于在一些特别密集的草地工作, 这时, 噪声控制相对处于次要的地位, 而看 重切割效率。 但事实上全速档主要作为一个应急备用档位, 在实际的使用中 极少会用到, 即使取消, 仅设置前述的两个预设恒定转速档位也是可以的。 根据实际统计, 家庭割草机用户在草坪生长迅速的季节通常每两周割一次草 坪, 在草坪生长缓慢的季节通常每三周割草一次。 而在草皮生长最旺盛的季 节, 每两周切割草坪一次只需使用 2000 转的恒定转速就能满足需求。 使用 2500转 /3000转的恒定转速分别可以实现每 3周 /4周切割一次草坪而不会过 载。 因而除非用户超过一月不切割草坪、 或者草坪属于生长极为迅速的品种 (这在家庭用户中极为少见), 否则基本不会使用到全速档, 而需要大功率全 速割草的用户通常会选用汽油割草机。 根据统计, 在直流割草机的主要市场 上, 使用到全速档的情况出现的可能性不超过千分之二。
本具体实施例中, 采用了预设恒定转速, 而没有采用无极调速, 这是因 为预设的恒定转速具有明显的优势。
首先, 预设恒定转速可以节省用户的调试时间。 用户在使用恒定转速可 调的割草机时, 必然的会寻找一个达到噪声和效率的平衡的切割转速。 如果 采用无极调速方式, 那么, 每一个终端用户需要经历反复的试错才能找到一 个合适的恒定转速值, 这个试错过程可能耗时较长且体验恶劣。 根据最终用 户实验, 没有预设档位时, 用户通常需要反复调速达 5至 7次之久才能找到 自己满意的切割速度, 百分之百的用户都认为这个调试过程不舒适或极不舒 适。 而预设恒定转速则可以免去这个调试时间, 终端用户只需选择一个预设 档位即可以找到合适的, 噪声和效率达到平衡的切割速度。
其次, 预设恒定转速可以实现最佳的切割速度。 用户自己寻找到的切割 转速值很可能并非是真正的最佳切割速度。 因为用户凭借自身体验做出的判 断可能存在偏差; 更重要的, 用户缺乏判断噪声实际大小和噪声在一定距离 内衰减的精密仪器, 其对噪声的评估通常是在近距离操作割草机时感受到的 噪声, 很难对一定距离外的噪声程度做出判断, 即操作者很难评估割草机对 周围环境、 邻居的噪声污染。 而实际上割草机对周围环境的噪声污染是设定 转速极为重要的考虑因素, 因为在割草机中心位置的噪声无论如何都无法降 低到不影响操作者的程度, 而一定距离之外的噪声污染却是经过转速控制之 后可以明显改善的。 同样根据最终用户测试, 用户单独根据割草机中心位置 的噪声做出使用何种转速的判断时,约六成的用户实际上会选择过大的转速, 而没有达到降低环境噪声的效果, 而约两成的用户会选择过低的转速, 延长 了割草时间, 仅有两成用户能选择真正最佳的转速。 采用预设恒定转速的方 式, 制造者通过噪声测试仪器, 经过精密实验, 可以准确地判断各个转速情 况下各个距离段的噪声数据、 以及割草效率, 进而设定最佳的预设恒定转速。
第三、 预设恒定转速可以为不同地区、 不同草况等特定情况提供定制的 最佳转速。 如前所述, 在不同地区、 不同草况或一些其他特定情况下, 用户 需要的、 达到噪声和切割效率的平衡的最佳切割转速可能是不同的。 对此, 制造者可以通过测试, 针对不同情况设定不同的预设切割速度, 提供有针对 性的噪声解决方案。
下面介绍本发明的另一实施例。
在本实施例中, 电机 4为交流电机, 这种情况下, 割草机 1将直接连接 市电, 而不设置可充电电池。 与第一实施例类似的, 割草机 1设有速度控制 装置 14, 速度控制装置 14包括设置的临靠电机 4的速度传感器 16, 速度传 感器 16用于监测电机 4的当前转速 n, 并将监测到的当前转速 n发送到比较 元件 18。 比较元件 18可选择的具有或不具有预设恒定转速 n*。 当比较元件 18具有预设恒定转速 n*时, 速度控制装置 14处于恒速控制状态。 比较元件 18将速度传感器 16传送的电机 4的当前转速 n与预设恒定转速 n*进行比较, 用当前转速 n减去预设恒定转速 n*, 得出转速偏差 Δ η, 并将与 Δ η相关的信 号输出传递给能量控制元件 20。 能量控制元件 20根据比较元件 1 8输出的信 号, 调整自动力提供装置提供给电机 4的能量。 具体为, 当当前转速 η大于 预设恒定转速 η*, 转速偏差 Δ η大于 0时, 能量控制元件 20减少电源提供给 电机 4的能量, 使当前转速 η降低, 偏差 Δ η降低以趋近于 0 ; 当当前转速 η 小于预设恒定转速 η*, 转速偏差 Δ η小于 0时, 能量控制元件 20增加电源提 供给电机 4的能量, 使当前转速 η增加, 转速偏差 Δ η增加以趋近于 0, 速度 控制装置 14不断的根据转速偏差 Δ η调节电池 12提供给电机 4的能量, 以 保证电机 4 的转速保持为预设恒定转速 η*。 当比较元件 18不具有预设恒定 转速 η*时, 速度控制装置 14不对电机的转速进行限制, 速度控制装置 14处 于全速控制状态。 需要指出的是, 由于电机 4的电机轴 6和刀片 8直接连接, 所以, 刀片的切割速度等于电机的当前转速 η。
该割草机同样包括速度选择机构 28, 该速度选择机构 28 通过电平高低 的变化设定比较元件 18及割草机 1 的速度控制装置 4的状态,供操作者操作 选择电机 4及刀片 8转动速度的控制方式。 在本实施例中, 速度选择部件 22 可以选择三种速度模式, 分别为恒速 2500转每分、 恒速 3000转每分、 全速 转动。速度选择机构 28具体可以为旋钮式的速度切换钮、 或按压式的速度切 换按钮(可以具有多个按钮分别对应不同的速度)、 或滑移式的速度切换钮、 或杆式的速度切换杆, 在此不再一一列举。
本发明的割草机在保证切割效果的情况下, 极大的降低了切割噪音, 在 切割高度较低时, 噪声的降低尤为明显。
