Abstract: In order to avoid energy waste due to excess power of the loader transmission system, or insufficient power to affect the performance, a power matching method for the primary and secondary working conditions of the engine and the hydraulic torque converter is proposed. Based on the V-type working condition of the loader, the throttle signal, gear signal and brake signal are used as the basis for dividing the 6-segment cycle working condition, and it is subdivided into 11 working condition segments, which are further divided. It is classified into four traction stages: shoveling, lifting, starting, and constant speed. Combining the primary and secondary working conditions of the loader at different cycle stages, the power matching study of the engine and the torque converter is carried out. Using the method of primary and secondary conditions to analyze the power of the hydraulic system and the throttle opening of the engine in different traction stages, and combined with the common working characteristics of the engine and hydraulic torque converter, it is concluded that the engine almost works at the rated power point in the digging and lifting stage. Overloading shall be avoided as far as possible; during the starting and constant speed phases, the output torque point of the engine is relatively low,has the ability to withstand partial load fluctuations, and works as far as possible in the economic fuel range. Furthermore, the model of loader is constructed to compare and verify the primary and secondary working conditions with the variable power control of engine. The analysis method of primary and secondary working conditions of construction machinery based on box diagrams and the classification method of traction working conditions of loaders lay the foundation for the power matching of engine and hydraulic torque converter under different working conditions, and also for the vehicle transmission system. Performance optimization provides a reference.
