Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling a swing motor using a swing brake, and more particularly, to a swing motor control apparatus and method for controlling a swing motor using a mechanical brake in a hybrid construction machine, To a swing motor control apparatus using a swing brake and a method thereof.
Generally, a construction machine such as an excavator has a structure in which an upper revolving structure is pivotally coupled to a lower traveling body for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of work and the working range. Hydraulic excavators are implemented through hydraulics, such as turning the upper swivel and driving the bucket. The hydraulic excavator is controlled so that the swing brake is automatically released when any one of the boom, the arm, the bucket and the turning joystick is operated by the driver.
In recent years, studies have been actively conducted on a hybrid type construction machine in which the surplus oil price is rapidly increased, the surplus power of the engine is stored in the battery, and the insufficient power of the engine is supplied from the battery to improve the fuel efficiency.
Thus, a system in which an engine and an electric motor are used as a common power source and an electric energy storage device is referred to as a hybrid system. For example, hybrid systems include heavy-duty hybrid systems such as hybrid cars and excavators.
In the case of a hybrid excavator, the upper revolving body can be pivoted on the lower traveling body through a driving means such as a swing motor. When turning is to be stopped, the upper revolving body stops by the stop of the revolving motor. At the same time, the revolving braking device is driven to brak the upper revolving structure and fix the upper revolving structure to any external force and inertia. The hybrid excavator in which the swivel upper body is driven by an electric motor generates a swivel torque differently from a general hydraulic excavator. To this end, the hybrid excavator controls the current of the swing motor. Torque is generated in proportion to the current magnitude of the swirling motor.
On the other hand, unlike an engine-type excavator, a hybrid excavator is a harsh working condition in which a swing motor is suddenly overheated when it is operated for a long time on a slope. In a hybrid excavator swing motor at a slope, a load is applied to the upper body due to gravity even if the swing is not operated. In order to prevent the rotation of the upper body due to the load, a large current flows in the swing motor of the hybrid excavator. Considering that the calorific value of the swivel motor is proportional to the square of the current magnitude, the swivel motor may overheat if it is operated for a long time on the slope.
Therefore, the cooling system must be designed to have a sufficient capacity so that the swivel motor of the hybrid excavator is not overheated. The cooling system is to ensure stability. However, assuming that slope working conditions can be maintained constantly, there is a problem that the capacity of the swing motor cooling system must be extremely large.
The embodiments of the present invention are applicable to a case where a high current flows for a long time in a swing motor in a working environment (for example, a slope or a slope work area, etc.) in which the upper body posture of a hybrid construction machine in which the swing upper body is driven by a motor is continuously maintained, By detecting the operation of the switch or detecting that the upper body is in the stopped state and the temperature of the swing motor is higher than the predetermined threshold temperature, the swing brake is mechanically fastened to fix the upper body and cut off the current of the swing motor, Which can prevent overheating of the electric motor and protect it from overheating.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hybrid vehicle including a swinging motor for swinging an upper body of a hybrid construction machine, a turning joystick for controlling the swinging operation of the upper body by controlling the swinging motor, A swing brake for controlling the swing operation of the upper body; a swing brake control valve for controlling the swing brake; and a control unit for determining whether or not the swing joystick is operated, or when it is determined that the swing brake is released, And a control unit for controlling the swing brake control valve and for interrupting the current supplied to the swing motor so as to operate the swing brake when overheating occurs or when it is determined that a current equal to or higher than a critical current is continuously applied for a predetermined time or longer .
The swing brake control valve is selectively connected to the first high-pressure line and the hydraulic oil tank via the first solenoid valve SV1, and the first solenoid valve is electrically connected to the emergency stop switch so as to be controlled by the emergency stop switch signal .
The swing brake control valve is hydraulically connected to the second solenoid valve SV2 so as to selectively receive and supply the swing joystick signal pressure and the pilot signal pressure.
And a resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensor for measuring the coil temperature of the swing motor and transmitting the measured value to the control unit.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for controlling an upper body of a hybrid construction machine that controls a turning motor by operating a turning joystick and turns or stops an upper body by the operation of the turning motor, Detecting whether the upper joystick is stopped or not or whether the upper joystick is stopped or not, confirming whether the turning joystick is not operated or the upper joystick is stopped according to a detection result, and if the temperature of the swirl motor is equal to or higher than a set temperature, Checking whether or not a current equal to or greater than the current is continuously applied for a predetermined time or longer, and operating the swing brake to limit the swing operation of the upper body, and blocking the current supplied to the swing motor at the same time .
The embodiments of the present invention have an effect of preventing the overheating of the swing motor during the slanting operation in the hybrid construction machine in which the swing upper body is driven by the swing motor. In other words, the embodiments of the present invention have an effect of preventing overheating of the swing motor by shutting off the current of the swing motor while maintaining the stance with the swing brake in the state where the swing motor is overheated (slope or inclined work area) .
Thus, the embodiments of the present invention have the effect of enhancing the stability of the hybrid construction machine regardless of the workplace.
In addition, embodiments of the present invention can increase reliability by reducing the occurrence of faults by controlling the operation of the swing brakes in the same mechanical manner as in general engine type construction machines, in most cases, not in emergency or special working conditions.
Further, the embodiments of the present invention can further reduce the overall size of the cooling system of the swing motor for preventing overheating of the swing motor.
