100톤급 굴삭기에 장착할 수 있는 초대형 유압브레이커 개발을 수행하였다. 유압브레이커 설계에 앞서 타격에너지, 분당 타격수 등의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 유압브레이커 해석 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 초대형 유압브레이커의 설계 및 제작이 이루어졌으며, 유압브레이커가 성공적으로 작동함을 확인하였다. 실제 유압브레이커 작동 시 타격에너지와 분당 타격수를 측정하여, 해석 결과와 비교하였다. 분당 타격수 해석 결과는 큰 오차 없이 실험 결과를 잘 예측하였지만, 타격에너지 해석 결과는 실제 실험 결과와 매우 큰 차이가 나타남을 확인하였다. 초대형 유압브레이커를 성공적으로 개발하였으며, 향후 마찰, 유압회로 등을 고려하여 타격에너지 해석 방법을 보완할 예정이다.

In this paper, the development of a manually and continuously variable impact force control mechanism for hydraulic breakers was studied. Generally, a hydraulic breaker has one or two piston strokes. Hydraulic breakers, which have two strokes, have two valve-switching ports and make short and long piston strokes. The piston stroke valve controls the piston stroke by opening and closing a short stroke-switching port. The short piston stroke mode is used to break soft rock, concrete, or asphalt. This stroke control valve system is not popular for small hydraulic breakers mounted on 1 to 14-ton excavators. To preserve the carrier-like excavator, proper breaking force is needed, and it can be easily controlled by multiple piston stroke control valves. The easiest way to control these breakers is to use several switching ports and valves but they are not easy to install in small hydraulic breakers and are expensive. To use only one switching port and valve, a method can be used to change the open area of the switching port to delay valve switching. This method provides multiple piston strokes.

In this study, to prevent accidents in underground facilities during excavation, we developed a Lv.3 automated control system that can be configured as an electronic control system without changing the existing hydraulic system in a general excavator and utilized digital map information of underground facilities. We aimed to develop a strategy to prevent accidents caused by operator error. To implement this, a real-time excavator bucket end position recognition and control system was developed through angle measurement of the boom, arm, and bucket using an electronic joystick, RTK-GPS, and angle sensors. In addition, excavators are large, machine-based equipment, and it is difficult to control overshoot due to inertia with feedback control using position recognition information of the bucket tip. Therefore, feed-forward control is used to calculate the moving speed of the bucket tip in real-time to determine the target position. We developed a technology that can converge and verified the performance of the developed system through actual vehicle installation and field tests.

The Field robot means the machinery applied for outdoor tasks in construction, agriculture and undersea etc. In this study, to field-robotize a hydraulic excavator that is mostly used in construction working, we have developed an automatic excavation system and an adaptive control system. A model-reference adaptive controller has been designed based on the model that is obtained through off-line system identification. It is illustrated by computer simulations that the proposed control system gives good performance in the trajectory tracking control and the adaptation to parameter variation.

The Field Robot means the machinery applied for outdoor tasks in construction, agriculture and undersea etc. In this paper, to field-robotize a hydraulic excavator, we have proposed a robust and systematic controller design method. Disturbance observer is used as inner controller to reshape the excavating system into the linear dynamics of nominal model by compensating coupled nonlinear terms, model uncertainties and external load variations. Using the linear model that is obtained through off-line system identification, a H control scheme is applied to construct a disturbance observer and a servo-controller systematically.

In this study, as a strategy to improve shift characteristics, the authors developed a new style pressure modulator which can reduce shock torque during power shift by modulating the pattern of pressure increase in the cylinder for actuating the clutch. The remarkable merits of this new pressure modulator lie in its structural simplicity and durability, because the modulator is only composed of a poppet type valve and a few orifices. The usefulness of the new pressure modulator is confirmed by experiments and numerical analyses on a clutch control hydraulic system simplified for easy test. Also, the excellency of the transmission with the new pressure modulator is verified by experiments on a test bench for simulating the running power train of an excavator.

Energy consumption of conventional hydraulic excavators controlled by MCV is considerable when negative load is applied because the meter orifice and meter-out orifice are machined in one spool. Therefore, IMV is introduced to save energy use of hydraulic excavators, but existing hydraulic excavators have various advantages so it is difficult to make a clear comparison. In this study, we compare the use of an existing MCV excavator that has many advantages such as negative control, and IMV for boom up and down operation, and if IMV is used to save energy, we will examine the cause. If possible, for comparability under the same conditions, both systems use pressure balance valves to minimize power consumption when not using power in the actuator. The orifice area at each notch of each valve is calculated, and energy saving is verified by comparing the two systems through simulation.

본 논문은 복합형 하이브리드 굴삭기를 위한 동력전달계 제어기법에 대하여 기술하였다. 하이브리드 굴삭기는 기존 굴삭기의 동력전달계를 하이브리드화 하여 연비향상 및 배출가스 저감을 목표로 개발되고 있다. 특히 복합형 하이브리드 굴삭기는 유압시스템의 일부를 전기시스템으로 대체하여 낮은 유압효율로 인한 에너지 손실을 줄일 수 있도록 구성되어 있다. 해당 굴삭기의 하이브리드 동력 제어기는 동력전달계의 동력 흐름을 관리하여 굴삭기의 연비를 향상 시키고, 슈퍼 커패시터의 충전량을 적절한 범위에서 유지하며, 기존 굴삭기에 준하는 성능을 유지하여야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 슈퍼 캐패시터의 충전량 기반의 서모스탯(Thermostat)형 제어기와 실시간 최적해를 이용한 ECMS 제어기를 설계하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 하이브리드 굴삭기의 연비가 대략 20% 이상 향상될 것으로 기대되며, 특히 등가 연료 개념을 이용한ECMS 제어기의 성능이 서모스탯(Thermostat)형 제어기에 비해 연비 및 슈퍼 커패시터 충전량 관리 측면에서 보다 향상된 것을 확인하였다.
