Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned intelligent control, and particularly relates to a control system and a control method for gear limit of an unmanned mine car.

Background

The key technology of unmanned driving relates to the technical fields of environment perception, high-precision positioning, decision planning, execution control and the like, wherein vehicle motion control is used as a vehicle end execution layer of an intelligent driving vehicle system and is directly related to the final realization of an intelligent driving function. Vehicle motion control is the most central part of the execution control, and is generally divided into vehicle longitudinal control and lateral control. The longitudinal control mainly controls the throttle opening (electronic throttle opening) and the braking degree of the vehicle to realize the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle, thereby controlling the speed of the vehicle and ensuring the stable, safe and comfortable running of the vehicle.

During the actual running of the mine car, in order to better follow the expected acceleration and ensure the smooth operation of the engine of the vehicle, the shifting of gears is often accompanied, such as the upshifting of the engine when the engine speed and the vehicle speed increase, and the downshifting of the engine when the engine speed and the vehicle speed decrease. However, under some conditions, it may be desirable to limit the gears to avoid excessive gear speeds to achieve greater drive torque. For example, by setting a certain vehicle speed and engine speed threshold, when gear limitation is required, the upper limit of the vehicle speed and engine speed signal value sent to a Transmission Control Unit (TCU) is directly set to the set threshold, thereby implementing gear limitation Control.

In the prior art, the method mainly aims at the manned vehicle, the method of directly setting the upper limit of the single threshold value has certain limitation, the set threshold value may not meet the limitation condition of various gear upper limits, and meanwhile, the gear limiting function needs to be controlled by adding a manual switch, so that the feasibility of the unmanned vehicle is deficient. For unmanned driving, the gears of the vehicle need to be controlled in real time according to real-time vehicle state and road condition information, so that the gear limit has certain uncertainty and diversity, and particularly, the unmanned mine car has a severe working environment and also has a difference between heavy load and no load of a carrying mine car, so that higher requirements are provided for the gear limit control.

The EBS vehicle speed and the respective wheel speeds are part of vehicle-side data information, i.e., vehicle-side data, i.e., vehicle state data, which includes the EBS vehicle speed and the respective wheel speeds in addition to the current vehicle speed, gear and engine speed.

In an embodiment of the invention, a control method for gear limit of an unmanned mine car is provided, as shown in fig. 2, and comprises the following steps:

s1, making a vehicle gear limiting strategy;

s2, performing gear limit control in a special scene;

s3, carrying out gear limit control under special road conditions;

s4, carrying out gear limiting control under special working conditions;

s5, performing default state gear limit except for the three situations described in steps S2-S4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control flow of the gear limit of the unmanned mine car is as follows:

running the vehicle;

making a vehicle gear limit strategy;

judging whether the vehicle meets a gear limit condition in a special scene, if so, performing gear limit control; if not, entering the next step;

judging whether the vehicle meets a gear limiting condition under a special working condition, if so, performing gear limiting control; and if not, performing default state gear limit.

Each step is described in detail below.

Step S1: vehicle gear limit strategy formulation

The execution of gear shifting is realized by controlling a gear shifting execution mechanism of a gearbox through an automatic gearbox control unit (TCU), a multi-gear AMT (automated Mechanical Transmission) automatic gearbox is generally adopted by a mine car, and the TCU can directly send a corresponding gear limiting instruction. In the normal running process, the ADCU monitors the running of the vehicle in real time according to the vehicle state data fed back by the VCU and the expected running track of the vehicle issued by the decision and planning system, calculates the highest gear allowed by the current vehicle and sends the highest gear to the TCU in real time (for example, 6-gear AMT, the highest gear sent may be 1-gear, 2-gear, 3-gear, 4-gear, 5-gear and 6-gear). It should be noted that the gear limit is generally only for forward gears, and a general gearbox has different gears only for forward gears, and the reverse gear has only one gear, so that the gear limit control is not needed.

The gear limit control is mainly directed to limiting the highest gear of the vehicle's forward gear in some special cases. The gear limiting conditions in the invention are mainly classified into the following three types:

(1) a special scene;

(2) special road conditions;

(3) special working conditions.

In the above three cases, the highest gear of the vehicle is limited by a given gear limiting strategy. The main gear limiting strategies are: a series of vehicle speed thresholds are set according to different gears, such as a threshold V1 corresponding to the 1 gear, a threshold V2 corresponding to the 2 gear, and a threshold V3 corresponding to the 3 gear. Generally, for a 6-gear AMT gearbox, 4 gears, 5 gears and 6 gears belong to high gears and are not limited, namely, the gear limit is limited to be below 3 gears. The vehicle speed thresholds V1, V2 and V3 of different gears are set according to a specific vehicle gearbox gear shifting strategy, and the range is customized and is larger than zero.

If the above three gear limit situations are met, the gear limit strategy is as follows:

(1) when the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to V1 and the current gear is gear 1, limiting gear 1;

(2) when the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to V2 and the current gear is 1 gear or 2 gear, limiting 2 gear;

(3) and when the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to V3 and the current gear is 1, 2 or 3, limiting the 3 gear.

It should be noted that the vehicle speed here may be a vehicle speed fed back by the TCU of the automatic transmission control unit, or an EBS vehicle speed, and is used according to a certain vehicle speed arbitration logic, and the arbitration logic is determined according to an actual calibration condition, for example, when the vehicle speed is less than 2Km/h, the vehicle speed fed back by the TCU is used, and when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 2Km/h, the EBS vehicle speed fed back by the EBS is used. It should be noted that only one vehicle speed is used at a time.

Step S2: special scene gear limit control

The main task of the mine car is to load mineral/muck from a loading position to an unloading position for unloading, so in the whole operation process, as shown in fig. 4, the operation area of the mine car is divided into scenes, which are mainly divided into: in fig. 4, the unloading area includes four unloading positions, and the sub-tables are respectively numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. In an actual operation process, a loading area, a unloading area and an unloading area (collectively referred to as a low-speed driving area) are provided, because a plurality of vehicles may have operation tasks of loading or unloading, and the vehicle speed cannot be too high for safety and vehicle operation precision, when the vehicles are on a transportation path and are about to enter the loading area or the unloading area, the vehicles are decelerated to drive in advance, and the vehicles slowly drive into the loading area or the unloading area after being decelerated to a certain vehicle speed. In the low-speed driving area (special scene), the vehicle needs to be subjected to gear limit control, and the specific control logic is as follows:

the first step is as follows: when the vehicle is about to enter a low-speed driving area, the vehicle is decelerated in advance;

the second step is that: after the vehicle enters a low-speed driving area, gear limit control is activated;

the third step: setting a highest gear upper limit M (M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3) gear;

the fourth step: and performing gear limiting control according to the gear limiting strategy in the step S1.

Step S3: special road condition gear limit control

In the transportation path in fig. 4, the road condition has diversity, which may have a large downhill or uphill road condition. In downhill road conditions, particularly under heavy load conditions, the speed of the vehicle needs to be strictly controlled to ensure driving safety, so as to avoid overhigh speed; in the uphill road condition, if the vehicle is in heavy load uphill, particularly when the vehicle is started in heavy load uphill, the situation that power is insufficient can occur even if the vehicle is in 2 gears, and at the moment, the gear needs to be limited to obtain the maximum driving torque to ensure the driving and running capacity of the vehicle. The above two road conditions are only described as examples, and in the actual driving process of the vehicle, special road conditions other than the above two may be encountered, and it is understood that the present invention is also included in the scope of the present invention.

The gear limit control strategy at this time is as follows:

the first step is as follows: identifying whether the vehicle is currently in a large downhill or uphill (which can be classified by gradient, wherein B >0 is set by setting a gradient threshold, and when the gradient is greater than B, the vehicle is considered as a large gradient) road condition;

the second step is that: setting a highest gear upper limit M (M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3) gear;

the third step: and performing gear limiting control according to the gear limiting strategy in the step S1.

Step S4: special operating mode limit control

The mine car may be subjected to special conditions during operation:

(1) the wheel skid is caused by slippery road surface: if the vehicle slips, the calculated vehicle speed of the TCU is high, the engine speed is also high at the moment, but the actual vehicle speed is basically zero, and if no gear limiting control is carried out at the moment, the gear is possibly too high, the driving force is insufficient, and the capacity of the vehicle for running out of a slip area is reduced;

(2) the vehicle has more serious faults and limp is required: when the vehicle enters a limp-home state due to a fault, the gear cannot be too high at this time in order to ensure safe driving of the vehicle.

The above two special operating conditions are only described as examples, and other special operating conditions than the above two may be encountered during the actual running of the vehicle, and it is understood that the invention is also included in the scope of the present invention.

The gear limit control strategy at this time is as follows:

the first step is as follows: detecting that the current vehicle is in a special working condition;

the second step is that: setting a highest gear upper limit M (M is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3) gear;

the third step: and performing gear limiting control according to the gear limiting strategy in the step S1.

Step S5: normal control of gear

When the vehicle is in the normal running process, i.e. not in the situation of the above steps S2, S3 and S4, the default gear control is performed at this time, and the gear limit of the vehicle adopts the following control strategy:

the first step is as follows: identifying whether the current expected acceleration is smaller than zero in the forward gear running state according to an expected track issued by the decision and planning system;

the second step is that: if the desired acceleration is less than zero in the first step, then the gear limit control is initiated;

the third step: and performing gear limiting control according to the gear limiting strategy in the step S1.

If the current desired acceleration is equal to or greater than zero, the default gear is limited to the highest gear, i.e., no gear limiting control is performed.

Up to this point, the present embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. From the foregoing description, those skilled in the art should be aware of the present invention for a control system and method for controlling gear limits for an unmanned mining vehicle. According to the invention, through information feedback of the first and second rotating speed sensors, the engine management system and the like, the state of the mine car is monitored in real time during the operation running process of the unmanned mine car, and the highest gear of the mine car is subjected to real-time limiting control according to the state of the vehicle and the running scene or the running condition, so that the running safety performance of the unmanned mine car is improved on the premise of ensuring the normal running of the vehicle, the mine car is adapted to the complex and severe running environment of a mining area and the difference of the no-load and heavy-load running of the mine car, certain running safety hazards are avoided, and the safety allowance of the unmanned system of the mine car is improved.
