Method, evaluation module and vehicle for learning jumps and/or inflection points in operating characteristics of an operating unit

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a transition (Mi) and / or an inflection point (Li) in an operating characteristic (F) of an operating unit, wherein the operating unit can be operated via an operating mechanism, wherein the operating characteristic (F) defines different actuating regions (Nk) separated from one another by transitions (Mi) and / or inflection points (Li), wherein different actuating forces (PF) for actuating the actuating mechanism are respectively set in the actuating regions (Nk) ), wherein the jump (Mi) and / or the inflection point (Li) are learned by operating the operating mechanism (2b, 3b) by: - ​​continuously learning the operating stroke (sB, sA) of the operating mechanism, - giving the learned The operating strokes (sB, sA) of , respectively, are assigned to the operating speed characteristic variables, so that a pair of values ​​is continuously formed from the known operating strokes (sB, sA) and the assigned operating speed characteristic variables, wherein the operating speed characteristic variables depend on the operating mechanism is formed from the operating speed, and - according to the formed value pair, it is checked whether there is a significant change in the operating speed, wherein the operating characteristic (F) is assigned to the operating stroke (sB, sA) on which there is a significant change in the operating speed. ) in the transition (Mi) and / or the inflection point (Li).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for determining jumps and / or inflection points in the operating characteristics of an operating unit, an evaluation module and a vehicle for carrying out the method. Background technique [0002] Foot-operated or hand-operated operating units are provided for influencing the driving dynamics of the vehicle, which can be actuated mechanically by the driver or automatically via operating means (eg foot-operated pedals or hand-operated levers). Thus, for example, the driver can deflect the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal or the parking brake lever or the anti-knock brake lever by a certain operating range, thereby causing the vehicle to be braked or accelerated in a corresponding manner. For this purpose, electrical operating signals can be output from the respective operating unit, which electrical operating signals characterize the respective operation and which can then be processed further by a control unit (ECU)...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantage of this is that a time-consuming calibration process at the end of the production line is required for each operating unit in order to create the operating characteristics, and an evaluation unit with a memory unit is arranged in each operating unit in order to store the operating characteristics and processed together with the sensed operating stroke

This is the only way to ensure reliable operation when replacing operating units or control units that process calibrated operating signals, since recalibration in the vehicle has hitherto been unsafe

A disadvantage is also that during operation, for example based on wear phenomena, it may not be possible to react reliably to changes in the operating characteristics, since these cannot be detected
