- the reason why the p-v tables 913 and 914 are calibrated after the bucket 107 is in a horizontal state is as follows. If a command current is passed while the bucket 107 is tilted, the bucket 107 may be arbitrarily tilted due to gravity. Further, when the bucket 107 is tilted in the normal mode, it is necessary to finely adjust the tilt angle. Even in such a situation where fine adjustment is required, it is necessary to perform automatic stop control with high accuracy. Therefore, it is desired to obtain the relationship between the pilot pressure and the operating speed of the tilt cylinders 13A and 13B when the speed is not affected by gravity and is very small. As described above, the main controller 52 calibrates the pv tables 913 and 914 after placing the bucket 107 in a horizontal state.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining how to increase the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A.
- the current value control unit 81 increases the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A stepwise from a predetermined value Im.
- the current value controller 81 temporarily reduces the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A, and then outputs a command current having a larger current value to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A than before the decrease.
- the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A is increased stepwise.
- the current value control unit 81 temporarily decreases the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A to a predetermined value, and then commands the current value larger than before the decrease. The process of outputting the current to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A is repeated.
- the predetermined value is zero, as shown in FIG.
- the current value control unit 81 outputs a command current having a current value Im to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A from time Tm to time Tm + Tr. Note that Tr is a predetermined time. Thereafter, the current value control unit 81 once sets the current value of the command current to zero. Then, the current value control unit 81 outputs the command current of the current value Im + Ir to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A from the time Tm + T0 to the time Tm + T0 + Tr. T0 represents a predetermined cycle.
- the current value control unit 81 once sets the current value of the command current to zero. Then, the current value control unit 81 outputs a command current of the current value Im + 2Ir to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A from time Tm + 2T0 to time Tm + 2T0 + Tr.
- the current value control unit 81 periodically performs control to set the current value to zero and increase the current value by Ir.
- the sensor 73A detects the operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A when the current value increases stepwise, and notifies the main controller 52 of it.
- the specifying unit 85 of the main controller 52 calculates the average operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A for a predetermined time. Typically, the specifying unit 85 calculates the average operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A during Tr seconds when the current value of the command current is Im, Im + Ir, Im + 2Ir, Im + 3Ir, Im + 4Ir, respectively.
- the specifying unit 85 specifies the current value of the command current when the average operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A exceeds the threshold Thv (mm / sec).
- the specifying unit 85 sets a current value lower by Ir than the specified current value as a current value when the tilt operation starts. For example, when determining that the average operation speed exceeds the threshold Thv (mm / sec) when the current value is Im + 4Ir, the specifying unit 85 sets Im + 3Ir as the current value when the tilt operation starts.
- the specifying unit 85 determines the current value of the command current when the bucket 107 starts the tilt operation based on the detection result by the sensor 73A. Identify.
- a current value lower by Ir than the specified current value is defined as a current value when the tilt operation starts.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- the specifying unit 85 may use a value that is less than the specified current value and is equal to or greater than the current value that is lower than the current value by Ir as the current value when the tilt operation starts. For example, if the specifying unit 85 determines that the average operation speed exceeds the threshold Thv (mm / sec) when the current value is Im + 4Ir, the tilt operation starts with a value less than Im + 4I and a value greater than Im + 3Ir. It is good also as a current value at the time.
- the reason why the current value of the command current is once decreased to a predetermined value is as follows. .
- the pilot pressure output from the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A should also increase by the current value Ir. But in reality, this is not the case. The reason is that even if the current value is increased by Ir, the spool in the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A may remain stopped without exceeding the static frictional force.
- the difference between the current value (zero) at the time of reduction and the current value of the command current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A becomes large.
- the difference in current value is not Ir but Im + nIr (n is a natural number of 1 or more).
- the current value of the command current at the movement start point is expressed as Is.
- the calibration unit 83 identifies the pilot pressure corresponding to the current value Is in the ip table 921.
- the pilot pressure value is expressed as Ps.
- the calibration unit 83 can obtain the pilot pressure Ps at the movement start point.
- the main controller 52 uses the pilot pressure and tilt cylinder 13A output from the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61A when the current value of the command current is Iz. Are measured using the sensor 72A and the sensor 73A. Further, the main controller 52 similarly uses the sensor 72B and the sensor 73B to calculate the pilot pressure output from the electromagnetic proportional control valve 61B and the operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13B when the current value of the command current is Iz. taking measurement.
- the current value Iz is, for example, the same value as the current value Ie.
- the bucket 107 tilts at a speed close to the maximum speed that the bucket 107 can output.
- the main controller 52 performs electromagnetic proportionality on the condition that an operator operation is performed on the operation lever 51a.
- the command current having the current value Iz is continuously output to the control valve 61A.
- the bucket 107 starts tilting in the clockwise direction, and after being in a horizontal state, is tilted to the maximum angle ⁇ max in the counterclockwise direction.
- the main controller 52 performs electromagnetic proportional control on the condition that an operator operation is performed on the operation lever 51a.
- the command current of the current value Iz is continuously output to the valve 61B.
- the bucket 107 starts tilting in the counterclockwise direction, and after being in a horizontal state, is tilted to the maximum angle ⁇ max in the clockwise direction.
- the reason that the operator operation is performed on the operation lever 51a is as follows. It is.
- the operation device 51 is an electronic device, it is possible to operate the tilt cylinders 13A and 13B even if there is no operation on the operation lever 51a by the main controller 52 outputting a pseudo command current (signal). Is possible.
- the bucket 107 automatically operates in a state where the operator does not intend to tilt the bucket 107.
- the current value Iz is the same value as Ie, as described above, the bucket 107 tilts at a speed close to the maximum speed. Therefore, it is preferable from the viewpoint of operability that the bucket 107 is tilted in a state where the operator clearly recognizes the operation of tilting the bucket 107.
- a command current having a current value Iz to the electromagnetic proportional control valves 61A and 61B, it is a condition that an operator operation is performed on the operation lever 51a.
- the main controller 52 monitors the current value (I) corresponding to the operation amount of the operation lever 51a and detects a current value (I) equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Then, a command current having a current value Iz is output to the electromagnetic proportional control valves 61A and 61B.
- the main controller 52 when the movement start point is detected, the main controller 52 has a very slow tilt operation. For this reason, even if the bucket 107 automatically operates, the main controller 52 does not monitor the current value (I) because there is almost no influence on the operability. From such a viewpoint, when detecting the movement start point, the bucket 107 is tilted without the condition that the operator operation on the operation lever 51a is performed. However, an operator operation on the operation lever 51a can also be used as a condition when detecting the movement start point.
- the pilot pressure and the operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A (maximum operating speed) when the current value is Iz are measured. It is as follows.
- the bucket 107 does not reach the maximum speed even if a command current having a large current value is output to the electromagnetic proportional control valves 61A and 61B. Will shake off. For this reason, it is preferable to measure the pilot pressure and the operating speed of the tilt cylinders 13A and 13B when the current value is Iz in a state where the stroke length is gained.
- the measured pilot pressure is expressed as Pz
- the operating speed (maximum speed) of the tilt cylinder 13A is expressed as Vz.

- the pv table 913 is calibrated based on the pilot pressure Pz and the operating speed Vz of the tilt cylinder 13A measured when output to 61A.
- the actual value to be used for calibration is the pilot pressure at the current value Is (starting point) and the current value Iz.
- the pilot pressure and the operating speed of the tilt cylinder 13A are used.
- the configuration of the pv table 913 is made possible only by obtaining actually measured values for the two current values Is and Iz for the command current.
- the tilt lengths of the tilt cylinders 13A and 13B are shorter than those of the boom cylinder 10 and the arm cylinder 11. For this reason, in one operation of extending the one-way cylinder, compared to the boom cylinder 10 and the arm cylinder 11, it is difficult to obtain actual measurement values for many current values.

Abstract
Description
上記の構成によれば、作業車両は、線形補間によって第2のデータを較正することができる。
図1は、実施形態に基づく作業車両100の外観を説明する図である。
図2に示されるように、チルトシリンダ13Aは、バケット107と、連結部材109とを連結している。チルトシリンダ13Aのシリンダロッドの先端がバケット107の本体側に連結され、チルトシリンダ13Aのシリンダチューブ側が連結部材109に連結されている。
図3は、作業車両100のハードウェア構成を表した図である。
図4は、作業車両100の機能的構成を表したブロック図である。
電磁比例制御弁61A,61Bには、個体差がある。そのため、複数の同種の作業車両の各々に対して、同一種類の電磁比例制御弁を搭載し、かつ同一の電流値の電流を入力しても、作業車両毎で出力が完全には同一とはならない。また、センサ72A,72B等の各センサにも、個体差がある。
i-pテーブルは、作業車両100の本体そのものに固有のもであるため、基本的には、一回だけ較正を行えばよい。また、i-pテーブルは、p-vテーブルよりも、作業車両100の動作に大きく影響を与えるため、サービスマンや特定の管理者に対してのみ、較正の権限を与えることが好ましい。一方、p-vテーブルは、バケットを他のバケットに交換する度に、較正を行なう必要がある。
以下では、i-pテーブル911およびi-pテーブル912のうち、i-pテーブル911の較正について説明する。なお、i-pテーブル912の較正も、i-pテーブル911の較正と同様であるため、以下では、繰り返して説明しない。
図5に示されるように、i-pテーブル911のデータ(離散値)を、説明の便宜上グラフ化し、i-pテーブル911を線分J1として表記している。
図7に示されるように、較正後のi-pテーブル921のデータ(離散値)を、説明の便宜上グラフ化し、i-pテーブル921を線分J3として表記している。
較正部83は、電流値iがIdよりも値が小さい領域(Ia<i<Id)における電流値iに対するパイロット圧の変化率が、IdとIeとの間における電流値に対するパイロット圧の変化率と同じとなるように、i-pテーブル911を較正する。それゆえ、電流値iがIdよりも値が小さい領域では、座標点B1と座標点B2とを結ぶ直線が延長された状態となる。
次に、p-vテーブル913,914の較正について説明する。p-vテーブル913,914の較正は、i-pテーブル911,912の較正が行われた後に実施される。また、上述したように、p-vテーブル913,914の較正の際には、バケット107をチルト動作させる必要がある。
p-vテーブル913では、パイロット圧と、チルトシリンダ13Aの動作速度とが対応付けられている。以下では、パイロット圧P1,P2,P3,…P10が、それぞれ、動作速度V1,V2,V3,…V10に対応づけられているものとする。また、説明の便宜上、P1,P2,P3,…P10を、それぞれ、「No.1のパイロット圧」、「No.2のパイロット圧」、「No.3のパイロット圧」、…「No.10のパイロット圧」とも称する。V1,V2,V3,…V10を、それぞれ、「No.1の動作速度」、「No.2の動作速度」、「No.3の動作速度」、…「No.10の動作速度」とも称する。なお、p-vテーブル913におけるデータの点数を10点としているが、これは一例であって、10点に限定されるものではない。また、チルトシリンダ13Aの動作速度を、単に、「シリンダ速度V」とも称する。
図8に示されるように、p-vテーブル913のデータ(離散値)を、説明の便宜上グラフ化し、p-vテーブル911を線分K1として表記している。パイロット圧がP1のときに、チルトシリンダ13Aの動作速度の値がV1となっている。パイロット圧がP10のときに、チルトシリンダ13Aの動作速度の値がV10となっている。
p-vテーブル913を較正するときには、バケット107が時計回り方向にチルト動作を開始する点(以下、「動き出し点」とも称する)におけるパイロット圧(実測値)が必要となる。なお、動き出し点は、チルト動作を開始したときの指令電流の電流値iと、当該指令電流を電磁比例制御弁61Aに出力したときにセンサ72Aによって測定されるパイロット圧によって規定される。
メインコントローラ52は、指令電流の電流値をIzとしたときに電磁比例制御弁61Aから出力されるパイロット圧とチルトシリンダ13Aの動作速度とを、センサ72Aおよびセンサ73Aを用いて測定する。さらに、メインコントローラ52は、同様に、指令電流の電流値をIzとしたときに電磁比例制御弁61Bから出力されるパイロット圧とチルトシリンダ13Bの動作速度とを、センサ72Bおよびセンサ73Bを用いて測定する。
p-vテーブル913のパイロット圧(p)を較正するときに用いる較正比率Rpと、p-vテーブル913の動作速度(v)を較正するときに用いる較正比率Rvとを算出する方法を説明する。なお、p-vテーブル914に対しても、同様の手法により較正比率が算出されるため、ここでは繰り返し説明は行わない。
較正部83は、指令電流の電流値がIzのときの動作速度Vzと、予め定められた速度Vfとの差分(Vz-Vf)を算出する。Vfは、たとえばV1と同じ値とすることができる。
次に、較正比率Rp,Rvを利用して、p-vテーブル913からp-vテーブル923を生成する方法について説明する。なお、p-vテーブル914からp-vテーブル924を生成方法も、p-vテーブル913からp-vテーブル923を生成する方法と同様であるため、ここでは繰り返し説明しない。
図13に示されるように、図12(B)に示されたp-vテーブル923のデータ(離散値)を、説明の便宜上グラフ化し、p-vテーブル923を線分K2として表記している。なお、破線の線分K1は、図8でも示したように、較正前のp-vテーブル913を表している。図13によれば、線分K2は、線分K1の形状と同じような形状を維持しつつ、較正がなされていることが分かる。
p-vテーブル913,914を較正するときのモニタ装置53に表示されるユーザインターフェイスについて説明する。なお、i-pテーブル911,912の較正は、既に済んでいるものとする。
図17は、作業車両100における全体の処理の流れを説明するためのフローチャートである。また、以下では、上述したサービスマンおよび特定の管理者が較正処理を行なう局面の処理の流れを説明する。
以下、作業車両100の変形例を説明する。
以下、変形例を踏まえて、作業車両100の主たる構成と当該構成により得られる利点とを説明する。なお、以下において、括弧書きの部材名および括弧書きの参照符号は、当該括弧が付された部材の一例を示すための記載である。
