It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are all to a non-precise scale, merely for convenience and clarity in aiding in the description of embodiments of the invention.

Thus, a feature defining a qualifier such as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present embodiment provides a method for limiting an aerial working platform, including the following steps:
S1, acquiring an upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height of an operation platform 1 and a lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height; the aerial work platform includes a controller 2, the controller 2 may be referred to as an ECU (Electronic Control Unit ), and the controller 2 may read an upper limit angle corresponding to an upper limit height and a lower limit angle corresponding to a lower limit height of the aerial work platform 1 from a memory previously installed on the aerial work platform. The storage form of the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform 1 in the memory may be two values between the value range 0-4096 corresponding to the output voltage signal of 0-5V of the angle sensor, for example, 3000 is taken as the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height of the operation platform 1, and 10 is taken as the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform 1.
S2, acquiring a current angle corresponding to the current height of the operation platform 1; the controller 2 may detect the current angle corresponding to the current height of the work platform 1 through the angle sensor in real time, and when detecting the current angle corresponding to the current height of the work platform 1 using the angle sensor, may directly use the detection value of the angle sensor, that is, an AD (Analog to Digital ) value, as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the work platform 1, or multiply the AD value by a preset value and then use the value as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the work platform 1. The angle sensor 4 for limiting and the angle sensor 4 for detecting whether the work platform 1 is overloaded may share one angle sensor 4, so that costs can be saved. When detecting whether the working platform 1 is overloaded, a corresponding relation curve between the height of the working platform 1 and the hydraulic pressure of the fork arm cylinder 7 can be obtained in a calibration mode, the height of the working platform 1 can be measured through the angle sensor 4, and the hydraulic pressure of the fork arm cylinder 7 can be measured through the pressure sensor.
S3, judging whether the current angle is between the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle, and judging that the operation platform 1 is in a preset limit area if the current angle is between the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle; and if the current angle is not between the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle, judging that the working platform 1 exceeds the preset limit area.
According to the limiting method for the aerial working platform, whether the working platform 1 is in the preset limiting area is judged by judging whether the current angle is between the upper limiting angle and the lower limiting angle, an upper limiting switch and a lower limiting switch are not needed any more, and hardware cost is reduced. When the limit height is required to be adjusted, only the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and/or the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform 1 are required to be changed, the installation position of the limit switch and the installation structure for installing the limit switch can be not required to be changed any more, the limit height of the operation platform 1 can be flexibly adjusted, and the operation is simple and convenient.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the aerial work platform includes a fork 3, and a first angle sensor 4 for detecting an angle of the fork 3 is mounted on the fork 3; step S1, namely the step of obtaining an upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and a lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform 1, specifically comprises the following steps: moving the operation platform 1 to a preset upper limit position, acquiring a first calibration value of the first angle sensor 4, and taking the first calibration value as an upper limit angle corresponding to an upper limit height of the operation platform 1; and moving the operation platform 1 to a preset lower limit position, acquiring a second calibration value of the first angle sensor 4, and taking the second calibration value as a lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform 1.
In the scheme provided by the implementation, the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height of the operation platform 1 and the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height are obtained in the calibration mode, and the obtained upper limit angle and the obtained lower limit angle can be stored in a memory of the aerial operation platform. In other embodiments, for the same type of aerial working platform, only the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of one or more aerial working platforms can be calibrated, and the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle obtained by calibration before the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height of other uncalibrated aerial working platforms with the same type can be directly used.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, after the step of taking the second calibration value as the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the working platform, the method further includes the following steps: the operation platform is moved to an updated upper limit position, a third calibration value of the first angle sensor 4 is obtained, and the third calibration value is used as an upper limit angle corresponding to the updated upper limit height of the operation platform; and moving the operation platform to the updated lower limit position, acquiring a fourth calibration value of the first angle sensor 4, and taking the fourth calibration value as a lower limit angle corresponding to the updated lower limit height of the operation platform.
In the scheme that this embodiment provided, when need adjust spacing high, only need mark again according to above-mentioned step the last spacing angle that the last spacing high corresponds of operating platform and lower spacing angle that the spacing high corresponds down can, no longer need change limit switch's mounted position and be used for installing limit switch's mounting structure, can nimble adjustment operating platform's spacing high, easy operation is convenient. In other embodiments, the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the work platform in the memory may be directly changed to adjust the limit height.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, step S2, that is, the step of obtaining the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform, specifically includes the following steps: and acquiring a detection value of the first angle sensor 4, and taking the detection value of the first angle sensor 4 as a current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform. The detection value of the first angle sensor 4 is used as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform, so that the execution steps of the limiting method of the aerial working platform can be simplified, and the execution efficiency is improved. In other embodiments, the detected value of the first angle sensor 4 may be further converted and then used as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform, for example, the detected value of the first sensor is multiplied by a preset parameter and then used as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the aerial platform further includes a chassis 5, and a second angle sensor 6 for detecting an inclination angle of the chassis 5 is mounted on the chassis 5; the step S2 of obtaining the current angle corresponding to the current height of the operation platform specifically includes the following steps: and respectively acquiring the detection value of the first angle sensor 4 and the detection value of the second angle sensor 6, and taking the difference value between the detection value of the first angle sensor 4 and the detection value of the second angle sensor 6 as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform. The difference value between the detection value of the first angle sensor 4 and the detection value of the second angle sensor 6 is used as the current angle corresponding to the current height of the working platform, so that the limiting method of the aerial working platform is applicable to both a land leveling scene and a slope scene. If the second angle sensor 6 is not added, the limiting method of the aerial work platform is only suitable for a level ground scene.
Optionally, after the step of determining that the operation platform exceeds the preset limit area, the method further includes the following steps: repeatedly executing the limiting method of the aerial working platform according to preset times, and outputting the judging result if the judging result is the same when the aerial working platform is executed each time; if the judging results are different in each execution, the judging result output last time is taken as the judging result of this time. The preset times can be 6 times or other times, and the judgment is repeated for a plurality of times, so that the judgment accuracy can be improved, and the influence of the fluctuation of the sampling value of the angle sensor on the judgment result is prevented. If the determination results are different in each execution, the determination results are abnormal or the height of the work platform shakes, and the height change of the work platform is not large in consideration of the fact that the determination time interval between two adjacent times is generally short, the determination result of the last time can be used as the determination result of the current time approximately.
Optionally, the steps S1 and S2 further include the following steps, that is, between the step of obtaining an upper limit angle corresponding to an upper limit height of the operation platform and a lower limit angle corresponding to a lower limit height, and the step of obtaining a current angle corresponding to a current height of the operation platform, the steps further include: judging whether the upper limit angle and the upper limit angle are in a preset angle range, if so, executing the step of acquiring the current angle corresponding to the current height of the operation platform; if not, the pre-stored first angle value is used as the upper limit angle, and the pre-stored second angle value is used as the lower limit angle.
The output voltage range of the angle sensor is 0-5V, the digital signal corresponding to 0-5V is 0-4096, if the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle are not 0-4096, the error or invalidation of the currently stored upper limit angle and lower limit angle can be judged, and the limit method of the aerial work platform needs to be executed by using a pre-stored default value, so that the accuracy of judging the limit method of the aerial work platform is improved.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, after the step of determining that the working platform exceeds the preset limit area, the method further includes the following steps: braking the working platform or reducing the moving speed of the working platform. When the working platform exceeds the preset limit area, if the working platform continues to ascend or descend, the working platform tilts or crushes the components on the chassis 5, and at the moment, the working platform is braked or the moving speed of the working platform is reduced, so that accidents can be prevented. When the working platform is in a preset limiting area, an operator can control the moving direction and the moving speed of the working platform through the handle.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, step S3, that is, after the step of determining whether the current angle is between the upper limit angle and the lower limit angle, further includes the following steps: receiving a first trigger signal sent by a lower limit switch; judging whether the first trigger signal is matched with the current angle or not; if the two angles are matched, judging that the lower limit switch and the first angle sensor 4 are normal; if the two angles are not matched, judging that at least one abnormality exists between the lower limit switch and the first angle sensor 4; receiving a second trigger signal sent by an upper limit switch; judging whether the second trigger signal is matched with the current angle or not; if the two angles are matched, judging that the upper limit switch and the first angle sensor 4 are normal; if the two angles do not match, it is determined that at least one abnormality exists between the upper limit switch and the first angle sensor 4. The aerial working platform may be configured with only the first angle sensor 4, or may be configured with the first angle sensor 4 and the limit switch at the same time, and the mounting position 8 of the limit switch is shown in fig. 2. If the aerial work platform is provided with the first angle sensor 4 and the limit switch, the lower limit switch and the upper limit switch can be calibrated firstly, and then redundant detection is carried out, namely, the aerial work platform is lifted or lowered to trigger the lower limit switch and the upper limit switch to be large, and when the lower limit switch is triggered, the angle corresponding to the first angle sensor 4 corresponding to the first trigger signal is stored; when the upper limit switch is triggered, the angle corresponding to the first angle sensor 4 corresponding to the second trigger signal is stored. Through carrying out the contrast check to limit switch's trigger signal and the signal of first angle sensor 4, can carry out redundant detection to limit switch and first angle sensor 4, can accurately discern whether limit switch and first angle sensor 4 break down, realized carrying out fault identification to limit switch and first angle sensor 4 of aerial working platform from not having to some breakthrough, improved aerial working platform's security.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 2, after the step of receiving the second trigger signal sent by the upper limit switch, the method further includes the following steps: receiving a third trigger signal sent by an outdoor limit switch; judging whether the third trigger signal is matched with the current angle or not; if the outdoor limit switch is matched with the first angle sensor 4, judging that the outdoor limit switch and the first angle sensor are normal; if not, it is determined that at least one abnormality exists in the outdoor limit switch and the first angle sensor 4. The outdoor limit switch can be calibrated, namely, the operation platform is firstly enabled to ascend or descend to trigger the outdoor limit switch to be large, and when the outdoor limit switch is triggered, the angle corresponding to the first angle sensor 4 corresponding to the third trigger signal is stored. Through carrying out the contrast check to limit switch's trigger signal and the signal of first angle sensor 4, can accurately discern whether limit switch and first angle sensor 4 break down, realized carrying out fault identification to limit switch and first angle sensor 4 of aerial working platform from not having to some breakthrough, improved aerial working platform's security.
In summary, according to the limiting method for the aerial work platform provided by the invention, whether the work platform is in the preset limiting area is judged by judging whether the current angle is between the upper limiting angle and the lower limiting angle, so that an upper limiting switch and a lower limiting switch are not needed any more, and the hardware cost is reduced. When the limit height is required to be adjusted, only the upper limit angle corresponding to the upper limit height and/or the lower limit angle corresponding to the lower limit height of the operation platform are required to be changed, the installation position of the limit switch and the installation structure for installing the limit switch can be not required to be changed any more, the limit height of the operation platform can be flexibly adjusted, and the operation is simple and convenient.
