[0020] Embodiments of the present subject matter are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic block diagram of a vehicle100 implementing a control system for operating recovery aggregates of the vehicle 100, according to one or more embodiments of the present subject matter.In an example, the vehicle 100 may be a recovery vehicle. The term recovery vehicle, as used herein, may be understood as a vehicle comprising a plurality of recovery aggregates. A recovery aggregate may be understood as one or more of a mechanical/electro-mechanical/electro-magnetic unit operable to assist the recovery of other vehicles. Examples of the recovery aggregates may include but are not limited to, a main winch, an auxiliary winch, a crane, an anchor cum dozer, an Adavanced Hydro-Gas Suspension Unit (AHSU), a Power take-off(PTO) Control System for controlling speed of an engine of the vehicle 100, hydraulic oil heaters, hydraulic oil coolers, PTO oil coolers, and at least one hydraulic oil storage unit for storing hydraulic oil. In an example, the vehicle 100 further comprises a hydraulic oil temperature switch(es) and sensor, a dozer and PTO hour meter pressure Switch(es), and a main pump and PTO oil filter clog switch(es), and a wire harness.
[0022] The vehicle 100 may be used in operations, such as, for example, recovery of heavy vehicles using one or more of the recovery aggregates. As an example, the recovery vehicle may be used for towing of such heavy vehicles. In other examples, the recovery vehicles may be used for the recovery of all-terrain vehicles.
[0023] As shown in the figure, the vehicle 100 may include a plurality of recovery aggregates 102-1 to 102-N, hereinafter collectively referred to as “recovery aggregates 102” and individually referred to as “recovery aggregate 102”. The vehicle 100 further comprises a plurality of control units 104-1 to 104-N, hereinafter collectively referred to as “control units 104” and individually referred to as “control unit 104”. The operation of each of the recovery aggregates 102 may be controlled by a corresponding control unit 104. For example, the operation of the recovery aggregate 102 -1 may be controlled by the control unit 104-1. For the purpose of controlling the operation of the respective recovery aggregate 102, the control unit 104 may include units, apparatuses, devices, wirings, connections, couplings, as would be appreciated.
[0024] The vehicle 100 further comprises a Recovery Aggregates Control Panel (RACP) 106 and a Recovery Aggregates Distribution Box (RADB) 108.Details of the components of the RACP 106 are described in conjunction with later figures.Details of the components of the RADB 108 are described in conjunction with later figures.In an example embodiment, the RACP 106 may be configured to control the supply of electric power to the plurality of recover aggregates 102. That is, without limitation, the RACP 106 may be used to control switching ON or switching OFF of the electric power supply to the recovery aggregates 102 or provide the electricity in a controlled manner to the recovery aggregate 102. In an example embodiment, the RACP 106 may be disposed in an enclosure comprising a plurality of wall mounting brackets. In an example embodiment, the RADB 108 may be configured to provide the electric power to the control units 104 controlling the recovery aggregates 102. In other words, the RADB 108 may be configured to control the distribution of the electric power to the recovery aggregates 102. In an example embodiment, the RACP 106 and the RADB 108 may collectively form the control system.
[0025] In an example embodiment, the control system may include a master relay box 110. The master relay box 110, as can be seen, may be coupled with the RACP 106 and the RADB 108. In an example, the master relay box 110 provides or supplies the electric power to the RACP 106 and the RADB 108. Accordingly, in an example, the RACP 106 may be configured to receive the electric power from the master relay box 110. Herein, the electric power is rated at 24V DC and 350 A.Also, the RADB 108 may be configured to receive the electric power from the master relay box 110. Herein, the electric power is rated at 24V DC and 350 A.
[0026] As mentioned above, the RACP 106 may be used to control the supply of electric power to the recovery aggregates 102. To that end, in an example embodiment, the RACP 106 may directly control the supply of electric power. For instance, the RACP 106 may be directly connected to a control unit 104 of a recovery aggregate 102. In another example embodiment, the RACP 106 mayindirectly control the supply of electric power. For instance, the RACP 106 may be configured to provide a control signal to the RADB 108, and the RADB 108 may be configured to control the supply of electric power based on the control signal received from the RACP 106. Thus, the operation of the recovery aggregates 102 is controlled conveniently through at least one of the RACP 106 and the RADB 108. According to an example embodiment of the present subject matter, the RACP 106 and the RADB 108 provide for an integrated system for controlling the operation of the recovery aggregates 102.
[0027] Various example embodiments of the present subject matter are provided in detail in the description of forthcoming figures.
[0028] Fig. 2 illustrates the control system for operating the recovery aggregates 102 of the vehicle 100, according toan example embodiment of the present subject matter. In the example embodiment, the RACP 106 may directly control the recovery aggregate 102. In the example embodiment, the RACP 106 may include a joystick 200 and a microcontroller 202. Furthermore, in the example embodiment, the control units 104 includes one or more valves 204. The valves 204 may be configured to control an operation of an anchor cum dozer 206.
[0029] In the example embodiment, the joystick 200 may be configured to receive a user input, for example, from an operator of the vehicle 100. Based on the received user input, the microcontroller 202 may be configured to generate a first control signal. As would be understood, the movements of the joystick 200 are converted to appropriate signals by the microcontroller 202. These signals together form the first control signal.As mentioned above, in the example embodiment, the RACP 106 may be configured to control the supply of the electric power to the valves 204 for controlling the operation of the anchor cum dozer 206 based on the received first signal. For instance, the RACP 106 may control the current supplied to the valves 204 based on the first control signal that is, in turn, based on the inputs received from joystick 200.
[0030] Fig. 3 illustrates the control system for operating the recovery aggregates 102 of the vehicle 100, according to an example embodiment of the present subject matter.In the example embodiment, the control units 104 may include at least one electromagnetic actuator 300. The electromagnetic actuator 300 may be configured to control a coupling of a PTO control system 302 with an engine 304 of the vehicle 100.
[0031] In the example embodiment, the RACP 106 may be configured to provide a second control signal to the RADB 108 based on a user input. The user input, in an example, may be received using one or more toggle Switches provided on the RACP 106.Based on the second control signal, the RADB 108 may be configured to control the supply of the electric power to the electromagnetic actuator 300. The operation of the electromagnetic actuator 300 controls the coupling of the PTO control system 302 with the engine 304. For instance, in a first operation state, the electromagnetic actuator 300 causes the PTO control system 302 to couple with the engine 304. In a second operation state, the electromagnetic actuator 300 causes the PTO control system to de-couple or disconnect with the engine 304. Thus, based on the second control signal, the supply of the electric power to the electromagnetic actuator 300 may be controlled, or in other words, the operational states of the electromagnetic actuator 300 may be controlled. This, in turn, controls the coupling of the PTO control system 302 to the engine 304, as explained.
[0032] Fig. 4 illustrates the control system for operating the recovery aggregates 102 of the vehicle 100, according to an example embodiment of the present subject matter. In the example embodiment, the RACP 106 includes at least one temperature monitoring unit 400, for example, a controller. The RACP 106 further includes a display 402 for showing temperature of the hydraulic oil. The temperature monitoring unit 400 may be configured to monitor a temperature of hydraulic oil stored in at least one hydraulic oil storage unit 404 of the vehicle 100 based on inputs received from the RADB 108. In an example, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) coupled to the at least one hydraulic storage unit 404 may sense the temperature of the hydraulic oil in the at least one hydraulic storage unit 404..
[0033] In an example, sensed temperature is provided by the temperature sensor to the RACP 106 through the RADB 108. In the RACP 106, the temperature monitoring unit 400 may obtain the value of the temperature and may determine whether the temperature of the hydraulic oil is equal to or greater than a threshold temperature valueor not. In an example, the threshold value may be 90 degrees. In case the temperature monitoring unit 400 determines that the temperature of the hydraulic oil is equal to greater than a threshold temperature value, the RACP 106 may be configured to provide a third control signal to the RADB 108. In an example, based on the received third signal, the RADB 108 may be configured to cut-off the supply of the electric power to the control units 104
[0034] In an example embodiment, at a later time, once the temperature monitoring unit 400 determines that the temperature of the hydraulic is determined to be below the threshold temperature value, the RACP 106 may then transmit a fourth control signal to the RADB 108. In an example, the threshold value may be 80 degrees. In response to the receiving of the fourth control signal, the RADB 108 may then supply the electric power to the other control units 104.
[0035] Fig. 5 illustrates an example RACP 500, such as the RACP 106, according to an embodiment of the present subject matter. In an example embodiment, the RACP 500 comprises interface(s) 502, a rotary switch 504, a joystick switch 506, a temperature display 508, an hour meter 510, a toggle switch(es) 512, and a Light Emitting Diode(s) (LED) 514.
