(9) The steering wheel angle sensor is disposed on a drive shaft of the steering wheel, and the steering wheel angle sensor rotates with the steering wheel and is configured to collect a steering wheel angle signal, and the collected signal is delivered to the controller in a form of a pulse.

(10) The rear wheel angle sensor is disposed on an overhanging section of a left piston rod in a left working chamber of the steering cylinder 7, and is configured to collect a rear wheel angle signal.

(11) An oil outlet of the left-right reversing valve 6 is connected to the hydraulic steering pump 8, and an oil inlet of the left-right reversing valve is connected to the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 through a main oil line and the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5. In a specific implementation, a speed-adjustable throttle valve is mounted in the left-right reversing valve 6, and is configured to adjust flow rate of the main oil line, an oil replenishment and an oil discharge. The reversing valve is a three-position eight-way solenoid valve, and an operation thereof is controlled by a steering wheel angle signal. When the steering wheel angle sensor has collected an increasing pulse signal, a wheel is set as turning left, and at this time, the left-right reversing valve 6 moves to a left position. When the steering wheel angle sensor has collected a decreasing pulse signal, the wheel is set as turning right, and at this time, the left-right reversing valve 6 moves to a right position. The left-right reversing valve 6 is kept in a center when there is no steering signal.

(12) The hydraulic steering pump 8 is connected to the steering wheel through a steering column, and an oil outlet is connected to the steering cylinder 7.

(13) The load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is disposed on the main oil line, and is located between a branch of the main oil line and the oil pump 2. In the present embodiment, the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is a two-position three-way high-speed switching solenoid valve, and performs an operation according to the steering wheel angle signal, when it is in the center, an A port is normally closed, an EF port is connected, and the EF port is connected to other hydraulic circuits.

(14) Two ends of the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 are connected to an oil outlet of the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 and the oil tank 1, respectively; and two ends of the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 are connected to the oil outlet of the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 and an oil outlet of the hydraulic steering pump 8, respectively. In the present embodiment, the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 and the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 are both two-position two-way high-speed switching solenoid valves, and are normally closed when it is in a center, and performs opening and closing operations according to an instruction of the controller.

(15) Two ends of the oil discharge throttle valve 13 are connected to the oil tank 1 and an oil outlet of the oil discharge solenoid valve 4, respectively. The flow rate of the oil discharge may be adjusted through the oil discharge throttle valve 13, and an adjustment operation is performed according to an instruction of the controller.

(16) When steering, the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is opened, the oil pump 2 supplies oil to the hydraulic steering pump 8. According to the steering wheel angle signal and the rear wheel angle signal collected, the controller performs an oil replenishment operation or an oil discharge operation on the steering cylinder 7 by opening and closing the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 and the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5, thus a steering error is always within a set error range, so as to achieve synchronous steering of a steering wheel angle and a rear wheel angle; and

(17) when there is no steering requirement, the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is closed to enable the hydraulic steering pump 8 to be closed, and oil liquid is supplied to other hydraulic circuits for usage through the EF port of the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3.

(18) In the present embodiment, a control method of the full hydraulic synchronous steering system for the low-speed heavy-load vehicle includes the following steps.

(19) Step 1: determine a desired steering curve γ between a steering wheel angle α and a rear wheel angle β. In the present embodiment, there are two methods to determine the desired steering curve.

(20) A First Method

(21) Step 1.1: determine a relationship curve γ.sub.1 between the steering wheel angle α and a stroke L of a push rod of the steering cylinder using formula (1):

(22) α = 9 0 π × ( D 2 - d 2 ) q 0 × L ( 1 )

(23) in formula (1), q.sub.0 is a theoretical single-turn discharge of the hydraulic steering pump; D is an inner diameter of the steering cylinder 7; d is a diameter of the push rod of the steering cylinder 7.

(24) Step 1.2: obtain according to a characteristic relationship among the push rod of the steering cylinder, a steering knuckle arm and parameters of the steering column, a steering curve γ.sub.2 between the stroke L of the push rod of the steering cylinder and the rear wheel angle β, and determine, according to the steering curve γ.sub.2, the desired steering curve γ between the steering wheel angle α and the rear wheel angle β. In a vehicle steering mechanism, there is a specific connection relationship among the push rod of the steering cylinder, the steering knuckle arm and the parameters of the steering column. After the connection relationship is determined, a relationship between the stroke L of the push rod of the steering cylinder and the rear wheel angle β can be determined. By changing a displacement of the push rod of the steering cylinder, a corresponding rear wheel angle value can be obtained, i. e. the steering curve γ.sub.2 between the stroke L of the push rod of the steering cylinder and the rear wheel angle β can be obtained.

(25) A Second Method

(26) Step 1.1: open the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 fully, close the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 fully, rotate the steering wheel, collect a steering wheel angle value and a rear wheel angle value, and obtain a full oil replenishment steering curve γ.sub.3 between the steering wheel angle α and the rear wheel angle β.

(27) Step 1.2: close the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 fully, open the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 fully, rotate the steering wheel, collect the steering wheel angle value and the rear wheel angle value, and obtain a full oil discharge steering curve γ.sub.4 between the steering wheel angle α and the rear wheel angle β.

(28) Step 1.3: take any one of curves within a range of upper and lower limits formed by the full oil replenishment steering curve γ.sub.3 and the full oil discharge steering curve γ.sub.4 as the desired steering curve γ between the steering wheel angle α and the rear wheel angle β. Namely, as long as upper and lower peaks of the curve do not exceed the upper and lower limits, the curve can be the desired steering curve γ. In practice, for simplicity of a calculation, a straight curve within the upper and lower limits is generally selected as the desired steering curve γ.

(29) Step 2: input a current steering wheel angle value α.sub.1 to the desired steering curve γ to obtain a desired rear wheel angle value β.sub.1 corresponding to the current steering wheel angle value α.sub.1.

(30) Step 3: collect an actual rear wheel angle value β.sub.2, and calculating a steering error |Δβ|=|β.sub.2−β.sub.1|.

(31) Step 4: determine an oil supply status of the steering cylinder; where the oil supply status is determined according to the following method:

(32) when |Δβ|>Δβ.sub.limit and Δβ<0, the steering cylinder is in an oil replenishment status;

(33) when |Δβ|>Δβ.sub.limit and Δβ>0, the steering cylinder is in an oil discharge status; and

(34) when |Δβ|≤Δβ.sub.limit, the steering cylinder is in a balanced status.

(35) Step 5: perform compensation control of the steering error according to the oil supply status of the steering cylinder, which specifically includes:

(36) when the steering cylinder is in the oil replenishment status, open the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5, close the oil discharge solenoid valve 4, and perform an oil replenishment operation on the steering cylinder;

(37) when the steering cylinder is in the balanced status, close the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5, close the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 without controlling the steering cylinder; and

(38) when the steering cylinder is in the oil discharge status, close the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5, open the oil discharge solenoid valve 4, and perform an oil discharge operation on the steering cylinder.

(39) The steering control flow can be summarized as: when steering, a calculation and a comparison are performed according to the collected steering wheel angle signal and the rear wheel angle signal to obtain the steering error, the controller controls the opening and closing of the oil replenishment solenoid valve and the oil discharge solenoid valve according to a difference between the steering error and an allowable error, adjusts the flow rate of the oil replenishment and the oil discharge, thereby adjusting a displacement stroke of a piston of the steering cylinder to achieve accurate synchronous steering, and the control flow thereof is as shown in FIG. 2.

(40) Embodiment 1: in the present embodiment, a steering synchronous control is performed according to the desired steering curve γ determined according to the relationship between a pull rod of the steering cylinder 7 and the hydraulic steering pump 8, and a certain type of a 3-ton counterbalanced forklift is taken as an example.

(41) The system and the method for improving synchronous steering capability of the low-speed heavy-load vehicle of the present application are applied to the certain type of the 3-ton counterbalanced forklift, and steering parameters of the counterbalanced forklift are as follows: a diameter d of the push rod of the steering cylinder 7=50 mm, an inner diameter thereof D=70 mm, and a left/right length L of the pull rod of the steering cylinder 7=99.5 mm; a discharge capacity q.sub.0 of the hydraulic steering pump 8=100 ml/r; a maximum inner/outer angle is 78°/54°; a flow rate q.sub.1=3 L/min when it is selected that both the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 and the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 are opened fully; and the controller uses MC9S12XS128MAL of Freescale.

(42) A relationship between the stroke L of the steering cylinder 7 and the rear wheel angle β is as shown in FIG. 3. It can be seen that, the stroke L of the steering cylinder 7 and the rear wheel angle β have a one-to-one correspondence relationship, the abscissa is the stroke L of the steering cylinder 7, the ordinate is the rear wheel angle β, and the relationship between the two is input to the controller.

(43) A steering wheel sensor is disposed on the drive shaft of the steering wheel for collecting the steering wheel angle α; a rear wheel angle sensor is disposed on the overhanging section of the pull rod of the steering cylinder 7 for collecting an actual rear wheel angle value β.sub.2; the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is disposed at an oil outlet of the oil pump 2; the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 and the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 are disposed at the oil outlet of the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3; and lines of the controller are completely connected.

(44) Specific operation principle and process of the controller are as follows: when the steering wheel angle sensor converts an operation signal of the steering wheel into the form of a pulse, one turn of the steering wheel is set to 64 pulses at equal intervals. An initial value of the pulse at the center is τ=1000, the steering wheel turns left to increase the pulse, and turns right to decrease the pulse.

(45) The controller is configured to convert the desired rear wheel angle value β.sub.1 and the actual rear wheel angle value β.sub.2 into a form of a counting point, since a maximum voltage of the 16-bit Freescale controller is 5V, and a maximum counting point is 255, the counting point

(46) δ = x × 2 5 5 5 ,
where x is a voltage value of the rear wheel angle.

(47) A maximum inner angle of the rear wheel is 54°, and a maximum outer angle is 78°, so an angle range is 132°. It is set that the rear wheel angle turns left as negative, and turns right as positive, δ of the center is 124, the rear wheel turns left to decrease, and turns right to increase. It is assumed that a counting point corresponding to the desired rear wheel angle β.sub.1 is δ.sub.0, and a count point corresponding to the actual rear wheel angle β.sub.2 is δ.sub.1, |Δδ|=δ.sub.1−δ.sub.0|, and Δβ.sub.limit is set to 2°, that is, a corresponding

(48) Δ δ limit = 2 5 5 1 3 2 × Δ β limit = 3.86 .

(49) A process of improving the synchronous steering capability of the forklift is as follows.

(50) Step 1: rotate the steering wheel, and return to a center of the steering wheel to collect the steering wheel angle α=0° and the actual rear wheel angle β.sub.2=3°.

(51) Step 2: calculate the desired rear wheel angle β.sub.1, an actual counting point δ.sub.1=132, a desired counting point δ.sub.0=124, and the pulse τ=1000.

(52) Step 3: determine the oil supply status according to a difference of the counting point,

(53) | Δ δ | = | δ 1 - δ 0 | = 8 > Δ δ limit = 2 5 5 1 3 2 × Δ β limit = 3 . 8 6 ,
Δδ=δ.sub.1−δ.sub.0=8>0, therefore the oil supply status is in the oil discharge status at this time.

(54) Step 4: perform oil discharge control, close the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5, and open the oil discharge solenoid valve 4.

(55) During a test, the steering wheel is rotated, and it can be observed that the counting point δ follows well, an error Δδ is always smaller than a set error Δδ.sub.limit, an error of the counting point Δδ is always within 3, and the steering curve is always fit to the desired steering curve. When the steering wheel is rotated to a limit position, the rear wheel reaches the limit position correspondingly. When the steering wheel is in the center, the rear wheel is also in the center, and at the same time, the pulse does not jump and is not lost. Namely, synchronous steering is achieved. During the operation of the steering system, the oil liquid flows to the steering circuit preferentially, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the steering circuit is reliable, and during no operation, the oil liquid flows to a hydraulic driving circuit such as a fork and a gate frame.

(56) In summary, the system can achieve a function of full hydraulic synchronous steering of the low-speed heavy-load vehicle.

(57) Embodiment 2: in the present embodiment, a steering synchronous control is performed according to the desired steering curve γ determined according to the full oil replenishment steering curve and the full oil discharge steering curve, and the same type of forklift as that in embodiment 1 is taken as an example.

(58) The system and the method for improving synchronous steering capability of the low-speed heavy-load vehicle of the present application are applied to the certain type of the 3-ton counterbalanced forklift. A steering wheel sensor is disposed on the drive shaft of the steering wheel for collecting the steering wheel angle α; a rear wheel angle sensor is disposed on the overhanging section of the pull rod of the steering cylinder 7 for collecting an actual rear wheel angle value β.sub.2; the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3 is disposed at an oil outlet of the oil pump 2; the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5 and the oil discharge solenoid valve 4 are disposed at the oil outlet of the load-sensitive solenoid valve 3; lines of the controller are completely connected; and the controller uses MC9S12XS128MAL of Freescale.

(59) Specific operation principle and process of the controller are as follows: when the steering wheel angle sensor converts an operation signal of the steering wheel into a form of a pulse, one turn of the steering wheel is set to 64 pulses at equal intervals. An initial value of the pulse at the center is τ=1000, the steering wheel turns left to increase the pulse, and turns right to decrease the pulse.

(60) The controller is configured to convert the desired rear wheel angle value ⊕.sub.1 and the actual rear wheel angle value β.sub.2 into a form of a counting point, since a maximum voltage of the 16-bit Freescale controller is 5V, and a maximum counting point is 255, the counting point

(61) δ = x × 2 5 5 5 ,
where x is a voltage value of the rear wheel angle.

(62) A maximum inner angle of the rear wheel is 54°, and a maximum outer angle is 78°, so an angle range is 132°. It is set that the rear wheel angle turns left as negative, and turns right as positive, δ of the center is 124, the rear wheel turns left to decrease, and turns right to increase. It is assumed that a counting point corresponding to the desired rear wheel angle β.sub.1 is δ.sub.0, and a count point corresponding to the actual rear wheel angle β.sub.2 is δ.sub.1, |Δδ|=|δ.sub.1−δ.sub.0|, and Δβ.sub.limit is set to 2°, that is, a corresponding

(63) Δ δ limit = 2 5 5 1 3 2 × Δ β limit = 3 .86 .

(64) For convenience of a calculation, a polygonal curve is taken as the desired steering curve, as shown in FIG. 4, and a method is taken as follows.

(65) Step 1: rotate the steering wheel to a left limit, acquire a steering wheel angle value α.sub.A and a mean value β.sub.A of rear wheel angle values of the full oil replenishment steering curve γ.sub.3 and the full oil discharge steering curve γ.sub.4 at this time, and record coordinates of A point as α.sub.A and β.sub.A.

(66) Step 2: take α.sub.B=0, β.sub.B=0 as coordinate B.

(67) Step 3: rotate the steering wheel to a right limit, acquire a steering wheel angle value α.sub.C and a mean value β.sub.C of the rear wheel angle values of the full oil replenishment steering curve γ.sub.3 and the full oil discharge steering curve γ.sub.4 at this time, and record coordinates of C point as α.sub.C and β.sub.C.

(68) Step 4: connect the points A, B, and C in sequence, then taking the polygonal line as the desired steering curve γ.

(69) A process of improving the synchronous steering capability of the forklift is as follows.

(70) Step 1: rotate the steering wheel, and return to a center of the steering wheel to collect the steering wheel angle α=0° and the actual rear wheel angle β.sub.2=2°.

(71) Step 2: calculate the desired rear wheel angle β.sub.1, an actual counting point δ.sub.1=120, a desired counting point δ.sub.0=124, and the pulse τ=1000.

(72) Step 3: determine the oil supply status according to a difference of the counting point,

(73) | Δ δ | = | δ 1 - δ 0 | = 4 > Δ δ limit = 2 5 5 1 3 2 × Δ β limit = 3.86 ,
Δδ=δ.sub.1−δ.sub.0=−4<0, therefore the oil supply status is of the oil replenishment status at this time.

(74) Step 4: perform oil replenishment control, close the oil discharge solenoid valve 4, and open the oil replenishment solenoid valve 5.

(75) During a test, the steering wheel is rotated, and it can be observed that the counting point δ follows well, an error Δδ is always smaller than a set error Δδ.sub.limit, an error of the counting point Δδ is always within 3, and the steering curve is always fit to the desired steering curve. When the steering wheel is rotated to a limit position, the rear wheel reaches the limit position correspondingly. When the steering wheel is in the center, the rear wheel is also in the center, and at the same time, the pulse does not jump and is not lost. Namely, synchronous steering is achieved. During the operation of the steering system, the oil liquid flows to the steering circuit preferentially, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the steering circuit is reliable, and during no operation, the oil liquid flows to a hydraulic driving circuit such as a fork and a gate frame.

(76) In summary, the system can achieve a function of full hydraulic synchronous steering of the low-speed heavy-load vehicle.
