Abstract

The present application provides a movement buffering control system and method for forklift tilt cylinder based on angle compensation in the field of forklift control, which includes a tilt cylinder configured to control forward and backward tilting of a mast of a forklift and a lift cylinder configured to control the lifting of a fork, and further includes a controller, wherein a signal input terminal of the controller is connected to a first angle sensor to measure a tilt angle of the mast relative to a vertical plane, a second angle sensor to measure a tilt angle of a vehicle body relative to a level ground, and a pressure sensor, and wherein a signal output terminal of the controller is connected to a display, a forward-tilting proportional valve to control the oil for forward-tilting of the tilt cylinder.

Claims (11)

1. A movement buffering control method for forklift tilt cylinder based on angle compensation, comprising the following steps:

step 1: when a forklift is non-loaded on a level ground, a telescopic position of a tilt cylinder, corresponding to a vertical mast, being a neutral position of the cylinder, acquiring a limit forward-tilting angle B and a limit backward-tilting angle C of the mast tilted forward and backward from a vertical state;

step 2: on the level ground, measuring and acquiring, by using a control variable method, a plurality of groups of mast deformation angles γ caused by load, and statistically calculating a corresponding relationship between load weights and γ;

step 3: when the forklift operates, acquiring a current tilt angle α of the mast relative to a vertical plane, a current tilt angle β of a vehicle body relative to the level ground and a current load weight on a fork in real time when the vehicle body operates on the ground;

step 4: calculating a tilt angle A of a current actual position of the mast with respect to the actual position of the mast currently corresponding to the neutral position of the cylinder in real time, A=α−β−γ;

step 5: presetting a mast forward-tilting deceleration angle B1 and a mast backward-tilting deceleration angle C1, and judging whether the forklift is tilting forward or tilting backward: when the forklift is tilting forward, performing step 6; and when the forklift is tilting backward, performing step 7;

step 6: comparing A, B and B1, when A=B1, a forward-tilting proportional valve in the forklift being controlled to reduce an amount of oil supplied to the tilt cylinder;

and when A=B, the forward-tilting proportional valve cutting off an oil supply path to the tilt cylinder; and

step 7: comparing A, C and C1, when A=C1, a backward-tilting proportional valve in the forklift being controlled to reduce an amount of oil supplied to the tilt cylinder; and when A=C, the backward-tilting proportional valve cutting off an oil supply path to the tilt cylinder.

2. The movement buffering control method for forklift tilt cylinder based on angle compensation according to claim 1 , wherein the mast forward-tilting deceleration angle B1 is smaller than the limit forward-tilting angle B by 1° to 2°.

3. The movement buffering control method for forklift tilt cylinder based on angle compensation according to claim 1 , wherein the mast backward-tilting deceleration angle C1 is smaller than the limit backward-tilting angle C by 1° to 2°.
