Definitions
- the invention relates to a hydrostatic implement according to the preamble of
- Claim 1 and a method for controlling it according to Claim 8.
- a generic working device has a large number of rotational and / or translational degrees of freedom.
- the working device consists of a chain of hydrostatic actuators.
- the working device must work collision-free with the working machine and its surroundings during its range of motion. Furthermore, the tool arranged at the tip of the working device should be precisely and conveniently controllable in all three coordinates. The control should be possible even for inexperienced operators - such as a driver of the mobile work machine - with high dynamics and positioning accuracy.
- the aging effects of the hydraulic components can lead to a deterioration in behavior over the service life of the equipment.
- Deviations between the real system and the model of the system shown in the feedforward control can lead to a deterioration in the positioning accuracy.
- the oscillation of the implement can also be stimulated, since the deviations between the target and actual behavior must be compensated by the controller in a closed circuit.
- a prerequisite for such an assistance function is generally the acquisition of the
- Joint angle and generally the kinematics configuration, in particular via angle sensors, cylinder stroke sensors or an inertial sensor system.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a process-reliable controllable hydrostatic work device, as well as a method for process-reliable control of the work device.
- the first object is achieved by a hydrostatic working device with the features of patent claim 1, the second by a method with the features of patent claim 8.
- a hydrostatic work device for a mobile work machine in particular for an excavator, crawler excavator, mobile excavator, mini excavator, backhoe loader or a concrete pump or forest machine, has hydrostatic actuators, in particular kinematically coupled.
- the actuators can be rotary or translatory, for example rotary motors or lifting cylinders.
- a tool or a tool holder is preferably provided at an end section of the implement.
- the work device has an operating device via which a movement request to the actuators can be detected.
- the operating device is preferably signal-connected to a control device of the implement.
- Movement request is an input variable in the control device of the Working device stored, at least kinematic model of the actuators.
- the actuators are from the control device, in particular by means of a pressure medium source and a
- Valve arrangement controllable at least as a function of an output variable of the control device, in particular of the model.
- a detection device is provided, by means of which a kinematic state of the actuators that can be assigned or assigned to the movement requirement or output variable can be detected.
- the working device in particular its control device, has an adaptation or
- the control device is capable of learning according to the invention.
- an adaptation or learning algorithm is implemented by means of the adaptation device.
- the model has at least one state space model of the working device, in particular, one static and one dynamic each, in combination with a recursive least squares algorithm (RLS algorithm) that has an adaptive effect on the state space model or models.
- RLS algorithm recursive least squares algorithm
- the model has characteristic curves and / or characteristic diagrams of the implement with fixed support points, the values of which can be learned and / or adapted via an RLS algorithm.
- the learning or adaptation algorithm is formed by at least one neural network and a deep learning method. Weights can be learned and adjusted using backpropagation. For this purpose, acquisition data from the acquisition device can preferably be stored in the control device.
- a fourth variant of the learning or adaptation algorithm is designed as reinforcement learning (RL). This means that transfer behavior can be learned to a large extent without using the model.
- the adaptation device can be designed in such a way that the adaptation can be carried out periodically or batch-wise, in particular after completion of a work task, or continuously.
- the learning or adaptation algorithm is preferably stored in the adaptation device for execution.
- control device is generic. It is preferably generic in its structure. This has the advantage that it can be adapted to configurations of the working device and / or the mobile working machine via the adapting device.
- one or more parameters of the model can be adapted via the adaptation device, in particular as a function of the movement requirement and the detected and assigned state.
- the adaptation device is designed in such a way that it uses it as a function of the movement requirement and the detected, assignable or
- assigned state parameters of the model are recursively estimable.
- the adaptation device has one for the adaptation
- the model has a static component, in particular a static input non-linearity, a value lookup table or a characteristic field, and a dynamic component, in particular a linear state space model. Both parts are summarized in a Hammerstein model, for example.
- the working device has a control device by means of which a deviation of the state from the movement request can be regulated.
- a deviation of the state from the movement request can be regulated.
- it causes an increasing improvement of the learned / adapted model / parameters, so that the deviation between the movement requirement and the actually achieved (assigned) state becomes increasingly smaller.
- the adaptation device is after the adaptation
- control device can also be deactivated in a further development and, in particular, can be activated if necessary.
- a defined start-up cycle of the working device in particular standardized, is stored for execution in the control device.
- the model in particular its parameters, can thus be adapted particularly quickly and in a manner that is easy to reproduce and analyze.
- the work device has a hydrostatic pump and a
- Valve arrangement for supplying pressure medium to the actuators.
- a mobile work machine has a work device that is designed according to at least one of the aforementioned aspects of the invention.
- the applicant reserves the right to make a patent claim or a patent application on such a machine.
- a method for controlling a hydrostatic work device which is designed according to at least one aspect of the preceding description, has the steps of "detecting the movement request”, “determining the output variable of the control device as a function of the model”, “controlling the actuators as a function of the output variable”, “Detection of the actuator status that can be assigned or assigned to the motion request or the output variable”.
- a step is “adapting the model or its inversion as a function of the movement requirement and / or the output variable, as well as as a function of the detected, assignable or assigned state”.
- Another advantage of the method is that it can be applied to work equipment. It can be transferred to work equipment from any supplier with the advantages already mentioned.
- the step of adapting in particular by means of the learning or adapting device, can take place in the course of commissioning, a revision or in a working operation of the work device. It can take place periodically or batchwise or continuously, in particular it can be stored in the adaptation device for periodic, batchwise or continuous execution.
- the adapt step is carried out in particular by adapting parameters of the model.
- the method has a step “correcting a deviation of the state reached as a function of the movement request from the assigned movement request”. This is preferably done via the aforementioned
- This step / the control device thus brings about an increasing improvement in the learned / adapted parameters and the discrepancy between the movement requirement and the assigned state becomes increasingly smaller.
- the step of regulating, in particular the control device can be largely or completely dispensed with. This enables faster movements of the working device and high positioning accuracy.
