Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an electric vehicle drive system, in particular to a torque distribution method for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method. Background Art
[0002] A distributed vehicle driven by independent in-wheel motors has significant actuator redundancy characteristics and is a typical over-driven system. In terms of underlying torque distribution, methods based on rules and optimization functions are often used.
[0003] The method based on rule distribution is simple and direct with small computational complexity, but it is difficult to effectively handle constraint conditions and cannot fully utilize the advantages of independent controllability of electric wheels. The method based on an optimization function cannot guarantee a real-time optimal feasible solution and has a long computational time. Therefore, it is necessary to design a solution method that can obtain a real-time optimal feasible solution while considering various constraint conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a torque distribution method for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method, which can obtain a real-time optimal feasible solution while considering various constraint conditions and optimization.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A torque distribution method for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method is used for distribution by a torque distribution system for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method. The torque distribution system for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method includes an initialization module, a torque optimization distribution equation design module, and a torque optimization distribution equation solving module based on a conditional solution method. The torque distribution system for a multi-axis distributed drive vehicle based on a conditional solution method is hereinafter referred to as the system, and the multi-axis distributed drive vehicle is a heavy-duty vehicle with four axles.
[0007] The initialization module is responsible for checking whether the signal transceiver of the CAN communication module and the actuator module is normal, loading the total torque demand of the electric wheels and the front wheel steering angle signal, loading the dynamic model parameters of the multi-axis distributed drive vehicle, and loading the parameters of the torque distribution optimization problem.
[0008] The torque optimization distribution equation design module analyzes that under the influence of the tire adhesion ellipse and non-linear working conditions, the vehicle is prone to instability, and there is a certain coupling relationship between the longitudinal driving force and the lateral force of the tire, and designs the objective function, constraint conditions, and equation of torque optimization distribution.
[0009] The torque optimization distribution equation solving module based on the conditional solution method solves the torque optimization distribution equation with constraints obtained by the torque optimization distribution equation design module by using the conditional solution method to obtain the output torque of each electric wheel.
[0010] The control method includes the following steps:
[0011] Step 1: Initialization;
[0012] Step 2: Design the torque optimization distribution equation;
[0013] Step 3: Solve the torque optimization distribution equation;
[0014] Step 4: Perform torque control; Further, determine whether the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle reaches the control target. If so, the vehicle completes the control task; otherwise, go to Step 1.
[0015] Further, the method of initialization in Step 1 is as follows:
[0016] The initialization module is responsible for loading the total torque T required by the electric wheels F and the steering wheel angle signal δ i , loading the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle model parameters, and loading the parameters in the torque optimization distribution equation. The multi-axle distributed drive vehicle model parameters include the vehicle wheelbase, and the wheelbase is the distance between two wheels on the same axle; the parameters in the torque optimization distribution equation include the relaxation factor and the weight coefficient of the relaxation factor.
[0017] Further, the method of designing the torque optimization distribution equation in Step 2 is as follows:
[0018] According to the total torque T F , the steering wheel angle signal δ i , the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle model parameters, and the parameters in the torque optimization distribution equation, establish the relationship between the longitudinal driving force and the yaw moment of the vehicle and the torque distribution in the form of a mathematical equation as follows:
[0019]
[0020] In the formula, F x is the total longitudinal driving force of the vehicle tires, M z is the yaw moment of the vehicle, i is the serial number of the i-th axle of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle, F xil and F xir are the longitudinal driving forces received by the left and right tires on the i-th axle respectively, D b is the wheelbase, and all wheelbases are equal, δ i is the steering wheel angle of the i-th axle.
[0021] Further rewrite the above formula into the following form:
[0022] A d U d =b d
[0023] In the formula:
[0024] b d =[F x M z T , F x =T F / R w , R w is the tire radius;
[0025] U d =[F x1l F x1r F x2l F x2r F x3l F x3r F x4l F x4r T ;
[0026]
[0027] Affected by the tire adhesion ellipse, under non-linear conditions, the vehicle is prone to instability, and there is a certain coupling relationship between the longitudinal driving force and the lateral force of the vehicle tires. Therefore, to reasonably solve the problem of torque distribution optimization, the following objective function J d is designed:
[0028]
[0029] In the formula, μ is the adhesion coefficient of the tire. n is the serial number of the nth tire of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle, F xn , F yn and F zn are respectively the longitudinal driving force, the lateral driving force and the vertical driving force of the nth tire of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle.
[0030] At the same time, to consider the road adhesion coefficient and the maximum torque output capacity of the in-wheel motor, the following constraint conditions are designed:
[0031]
[0032] In the formula, T nmax is the maximum torque of the in-wheel motor in the nth tire.
[0033] According to the above formula, the following torque optimization distribution equation is designed:
[0034]
[0035] In the formula, H is the weighted matrix of U d , diag() refers to the mathematical symbol of a diagonal matrix, and U u and U l are the maximum and minimum values of U d respectively; c dn is the longitudinal driving force weight coefficient of the nth tire; is an 8-row and 1-column matrix; ρ is a relaxation factor used to ensure that there is always a feasible solution for the objective function; θ ρ is the weight coefficient of the relaxation factor.
[0036] Furthermore, the method for solving the torque optimization distribution equation described in step 3 is as follows:
[0037] Solve the torque optimization distribution equation by the conditional solution method. First, transform the torque optimization distribution equation into the following form:
[0038]
[0039] In the formula:
[0040]
[0041]
[0042]
[0043] A dc =[A d I 2×1 ;
[0044]
[0045] ρ max and ρ min are the maximum and minimum values of the relaxation factor respectively.
[0046] Furthermore, solve the stationary point ξ d of the objective function J * :
[0047]
[0048] Let to get:
[0049]
[0050] Then, judge the stationary point ξ *Whether the constraint conditions \(g1(\xi)=0\) and \(g2(\xi)\leq0\) are satisfied:
[0051] 1) If satisfied, select \(\xi\) * in \(U\) d as the optimal longitudinal driving force \(F\) x , and its mathematical expression is as follows:
[0052] \(F\) x =\(\nu1\xi\) *
[0053] In the formula, the stationary point \(\xi\) * is the optimal value of \(\xi\), and \(F\) x is the matrix composed of the longitudinal driving force required by the tire; \(\nu1 = [I\) 8×8 , \(O\) 8×1 .
[0054] 2) Otherwise, use the Lagrange multiplier method to construct the following Lagrangian function:
[0055] \(J\) l = \(f(\xi)+g1(\xi) T Q l g1(\xi)+g2(\xi) T \(R l g2(\xi)+\lambda l g1(\xi)+\mu l g2(\xi)
[0056] In the formula, \(Q\) l and \(R\) l are the quadratic term Lagrange multiplier matrices of the equality constraint and inequality constraint corresponding to \(\xi\) respectively, and \(\lambda\) l and \(\mu\) l are the linear term Lagrange multiplier matrices of the equality constraint and inequality constraint respectively.
[0057] Further organize the above formula to get:
[0058]
[0059] In the formula,
[0060] From the gradient equation \(\nabla J\) l / \(\nabla\xi = 0\), the equality constraint \(g1(\xi)=0\) and the complementary slackness condition \(\lambda\) l g2(\xi)=0, the following equations are obtained:
[0061]
[0062] Therefore, the stationary point is obtained according to the above formula as follows:
[0063]
[0064] In the formula,
[0065] Similarly, select U in d as the optimal longitudinal driving force:
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, v2 = [I 8×8 , O 8×21
[0068] Then, the output torque of each electric wheel is calculated by the following equation:
[0069] T wi = R w F xi
[0070] Furthermore, the method for torque control described in step 4 is as follows:
[0071] Apply control constraints and perform filtering processing on the output torque T wi of each electric wheel, and use it as a control signal to be sent to the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle at a fixed frequency. The execution module of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle controls the movement of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle according to the output torque of each electric wheel.
[0072] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0073] 1. Based on the relationship between the longitudinal driving force and yaw moment of the vehicle and torque distribution, considering the influence of the tire adhesion ellipse, the coupling problem of the longitudinal driving force and lateral force of the tire, and the problem that the vehicle is prone to instability under non-linear working conditions, the present invention designs a torque optimization distribution equation considering safety constraints such as road adhesion coefficient and maximum torque output capacity of the hub motor, ensuring the rationality, reliability and safety of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle in torque optimization distribution.
[0074] 2. The present invention uses the conditional solution method to solve the torque optimization distribution equation, providing a solution idea for solving torque distribution with real-time optimal feasible solutions, and ensuring the distribution optimality, solution real-time performance, torque control accuracy, stability and robustness of the torque optimization distribution of the multi-axle distributed drive vehicle.
