The IMV is a combination of four two-way valve systems which replace a conventional four-way spool valve to improve efficiency mostly in excavator hydraulics. As the environmental regulations for construction equipment have tightened, some overseas advanced companies have released commercial excavators in which the MCV is implemented with the IMVs. Development of the IMV type MCV relies on the control algorithm as well as the robust performance of proportional flow control valves. In this study, the IMV controller was designed and verified with experiments for the excavator working unit, which determines the IMV mode of operation and the extent of the valve opening in consideration of the load conditions on hydraulic actuators. First, the open-loop controller was designed with a joystick command vs. a PSV reference current map comprising several control parameters in to compensate for the different flow characteristics and non-linearities of two-way flow control valves. Second, the closed-loop controller was designed with the PI control fed by the actuator displacement and outputs actuator percent effort equivalent to the operator's joystick command. Finally, the performance of the IMV type MCV was verified with the trajectory control of position references derived from the energy consumption test standard. Experimental results showed the control performance of the IMV developed in this study, and suggest that future studies to be conducted to advance technical progress.

전기굴삭기는 배터리에 저장된 에너지로 전동기-유압펌프를 구동해서 유압 에너지를 생성하고 이를 작업에 활용한다. 기존 유압굴삭기의 유압펌프는 디젤 엔진의 운전 효율에 최적화된 레귤레이터에 의해 제어되고, 유압펌프 자체의 효율은 고려되지 않았다. 전기굴삭기는 배터리를 에너지원으로 사용하기 때문에 전동기의 효율뿐 아니라 유압펌프의 효율을 함께 고려한 제어가 요구된다. 통합 제어를 위해서 유압펌프와 전동기의 출력과 효율 특성을 분석하여 효율맵을 작성하였고, 이를 바탕으로 최적동작맵을 구성하고 통합 제어 알고리즘을 개발했다. 알고리즘의 효과를 확인하기 위해 전기굴삭기 MILS 를 구성해서 통합 제어 알고리즘을 적용했다. 굴삭기 작업 시뮬레이션 결과는 통합 제어 알고리즘이 시스템 효율을 향상 시켰음을 보여준다.

Nowadays with the high fuel prices, the demands for energy saving and green emission of construction machinery have highly been increased without sacrifice of working performance, safety and reliability. The aim of this paper is to propose a new energy saving hybrid excavator system using an electro-hydraulic actuator driven by an electric motor/generator for the regeneration of potential energy. A 5 ton class excavator is analyzed, developed with the boom for the evaluation of the designed system. The hardware implementation is also presented in this paper. A control strategy for the hybrid excavator is proposed to operate the machine with a highest efficiency. The energy saving ability of the proposed excavator is clearly verified through simulation and experimental results in comparison with a conventional hydraulic excavator.

There have been numerous risks for excavator operator in working space. To overcome these riske, many researchers have been studied automation of excavator system. In these studies, excavator system is introduced by many researchers based on master-slave force feedback system. In this paper, a remote manipulation excavator is introduced based on force feedback. The proposed remote manipulation excavator system can give a feeling that the operator maneuvers the object directly, resulting in improved reality and efficiency. To demonstrate its performance, experiments are carried out on a test bed which is built around a commercial Hyundai HX-60W hydraulic excavator.

This paper presents a phase portrait analysis-based safety control algorithm for excavators, using adaptive sliding mode control. Since working postures and material types cause the excavator's rotational inertia to vary, the rotational inertia was estimated, and this estimation was used to design an adaptive sliding mode controller for collision avoidance of the excavator. In order to estimate the rotational inertia, the recursive least-squares estimation with multiple forgetting was applied with the information of the swing velocity of the excavator. For realistic evaluation, an actual working scenario-based performance evaluation was conducted. Based on the estimated rotational inertia and an analysis of estimation errors, sliding mode control inputs were computed. The actual working scenario-based performance evaluation of the designed safety algorithm was conducted, and the results showed that the developed safety control algorithm can efficiently avoid a collision with an object in consideration of rotational inertia variations.

In this paper, it is proposed a new approach to motion control and kinematics analysis of articulated manipulator attachment with five degree of freedom for excavator. Unlike the well-established theory for the control of linear systems, there is little general control theory relatively for a robust control of nonlinear systems. The control technique is essential for providing a stable and robust performance for application of articulated manipulator control. The proposed control algorithm is one of robust control methods based on error informations of the position and velocity error informations using stability analysis of dynamic model. Through simulation test, the proposed control scheme is illustrated to be a efficient control technique for real-time control.

Hydraulic excavators have been popular devices in construction field because of its multi-workings and economic efficiency. The mathematical models of excavators have many nonlinearities because of nonlinear opening characteristics and dead zone of main control valve, oil temperature variation, etc. The objective of this paper is to develop a simulator for hydraulic excavator using AMESim. Components and whole circuit are expressed graphically. Parameters and nonlinear characteristics are inputted in text style. The simulator can be used to forecast excavator behavior when new components, new mechanical attachments, hydraulic circuit changes, and new control algorithm are applied. The simulator could be a kind of development platform for various new excavators.
