Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical engineering, and particularly relates to a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics modeling method for a steer-by-wire system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern automotive technologies, the steer-by-wire (SBW) system, as a new type of steering control technology, has gradually become a research and development hotspot. Different from traditional mechanical steering systems, the steer-by-wire system realizes the driver's steering intention through the transmission of electrical signals, cancels the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels, and has significant advantages such as reducing steering transmission errors, decreasing weight, increasing the vehicle layout freedom, and optimizing the driving experience. In addition, the steer-by-wire system can be more conveniently combined with advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving technologies, laying a technical foundation for the realization of future intelligent connected vehicles.

[0003] Mathematical modeling of vehicle dynamics is one of the important methods for studying vehicle dynamics characteristics and the dynamic performance of steering systems. Currently, vehicle dynamics modeling mainly adopts multi-degree-of-freedom system modeling techniques, and common degrees of freedom include two degrees of freedom, seven degrees of freedom, fourteen degrees of freedom, etc. However, existing vehicle dynamics models generally have certain deficiencies in terms of accuracy and applicability. For example, traditional models usually ignore the non-linear characteristics of wheels, the coupling effect between the steering system and the suspension system, and the influence of vehicle body attitude changes on the vehicle's dynamic performance, making it difficult to comprehensively reflect the true operating characteristics of the vehicle under complex working conditions.

[0004] Especially in the research on steering systems, most existing modeling methods still adopt steering systems with traditional mechanical connections, and the research technology is slightly backward; or most of them only stay at the research on a single module of the steer-by-wire system, such as only focusing on the mathematical modeling of the steering actuator or the steering wheel input characteristics, and lacking a comprehensive description of the multi-body dynamics behavior of the whole vehicle. This limitation makes it difficult for existing models to provide accurate theoretical support when studying the complex motion behavior of vehicles, and cannot meet the actual needs of high-precision dynamic analysis and control optimization.

[0005] Therefore, in order to overcome the above deficiencies, the vehicle dynamics modeling method based on multi-body dynamics has become an important development direction for studying vehicle dynamic characteristics. By establishing a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model, the dynamic behavior of the vehicle under different working conditions can be more comprehensively described, especially for the dynamic characteristics and control strategy optimization problems of the steer-by-wire system. This modeling method can provide strong support for improving the steering performance of vehicles, optimizing vehicle control, and the development of autonomous driving technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Objective of the present invention: To provide a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics modeling method for a steer-by-wire system. By establishing dynamic constraints through the mutual coupling of vehicle module models, it is used to study the handling performance, stability, safety, dynamic response of the vehicle, the characteristics of the steer-by-wire system, and the vehicle performance under different working conditions, providing theoretical support for the optimization of future vehicle design and control strategies.

[0007] To achieve the above functions, the present invention designs a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics modeling method for a steer-by-wire system. For the target vehicle, the following steps S1 - S7 are executed to establish a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model, where the fifteen degrees of freedom include six degrees of freedom for the longitudinal, lateral, yaw, pitch, roll, and vertical motions of the vehicle body of the target vehicle, two degrees of freedom for the rotation and vertical motion of four distributed wheels, and one degree of freedom for the steering of the target vehicle:

[0008] Step S1: Regard the target vehicle as a multi-body dynamics system, and establish a global coordinate system, a vehicle body coordinate system, a wheel coordinate system, and a transfer coordinate system respectively.

[0009] Step S2: According to Newton's second law and the principle of moment balance, analyze the acting forces and torques of each degree of freedom, deduce the six-degree-of-freedom dynamic expressions of the vehicle body motion and the two-degree-of-freedom dynamic expressions of each wheel motion, and establish a vehicle body model and a wheel motion model.

[0010] Step S3: Simplify the suspension and tires of the target vehicle into a parallel structure of springs and dampers, superimpose the static suspension force and the dynamic suspension force, and establish a suspension model.

[0011] Step S4: Establish a non-linear tire model using the Magic Formula.

[0012] Step S5: Simplify the structure of the steer-by-wire system of the target vehicle, and establish a steering mechanical part model and a steering execution control model respectively; among them, the steering mechanical part model is divided into two parts: a steering wheel assembly model and a steering execution assembly model. According to the structures of the components of each assembly, establish their dynamic differential equations through the principle of torque balance and the principle of electrical balance.

[0013] Step S6: Based on the relationship of the external characteristic curve of the motor torque, and at the same time simplify the torque response of the motor into a first-order inertial link, and build a motor model.

[0014] Step S7: Neglect the influence of the roll and pitch motions of the vehicle body on the wheel center speeds of each wheel, and only consider the yaw motion effect. Deduce the calculation equations of the tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio state variables, and then establish a tire sideslip angle and tire slip ratio calculation module. Use the tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio as the inputs of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model, connect and integrate each module, and complete the establishment of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention include:

[0016] 1. Based on multi-body dynamics and facing the steer-by-wire system, the present invention includes six degrees of freedom for the vehicle body in longitudinal, lateral, yaw, pitch, roll, and vertical motions, two degrees of freedom for the rotation and vertical motion of each of the four distributed wheels, and one degree of freedom for vehicle steering, totaling a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model. Under basic working conditions, it can well calculate the required vehicle state variables, and the accuracy is basically consistent with the output waveform of the built-in model of Carsim.

[0017] 2. The vehicle dynamics model established by the present invention can well cooperate with the steer-by-wire system model, and achieve the expected good steering effect under the action of the steer-by-wire system control model, which is convenient for researchers to continuously optimize the control method of the steer-by-wire system and study the mutual cooperation between the steer-by-wire system and other dynamics models on this basis. For example, it can be jointly simulated and controlled with the upper controller of the four-wheel torque distribution of a four-wheel distributed in-wheel motor electric vehicle.

During the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle operating state is jointly affected by various factors such as the driver's operation, the states of vehicle components, and the driving road conditions. The vehicle components are coupled and interact with each other, and the force conditions are constantly changing. To simplify the analysis of each subsystem, establish a ground coordinate system, a body coordinate system, a wheel coordinate system, and a transfer coordinate system respectively;

[0090] Based on the condition that the steady-state yaw rate gain remains unchanged, the ideal transmission ratio is determined.

[0094] Step S6: The common motor modeling methods mainly include mathematical methods and empirical methods. Although the mathematical method has high calculation accuracy, it lacks real-time performance and is not suitable for vehicle dynamics control. Therefore, based on the relationship of the motor torque external characteristic curve and simplifying the torque response of the motor to a first-order inertia link, a motor model is built;

[0095] The motor model described in step S6 is as follows:

[0098] Step S7: The inputs of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model include the tire slip ratio and the tire sideslip angle. These state variables cannot be obtained by sensors and can only be calculated. Therefore, the influence of the vehicle's roll and pitch motions on the wheel center velocities of each wheel is ignored, and only the yaw motion is considered. The calculation equations for the tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio state variables are derived, and then a calculation module for the tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio is established. The tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio are used as the inputs of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model, and each module is connected and integrated to complete the establishment of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model; The dynamics block diagram of the fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model refers to Figure 3 .

[0099] The specific steps of Step S7 are as follows:

[0100] Step S7.1: Ignore the influence of the vehicle's roll and pitch motions on the wheel center velocities of each wheel, and only consider the yaw motion. Derive the calculation equations for the tire sideslip angle and the tire slip ratio state variables;

[0103] where u is the vehicle driving speed; B is the vehicle track width; δ i is the wheel angle, where the subscript i = 1, 2, 3, 4 represents the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel of the vehicle respectively; v whi is the velocity component of the wheel center velocity in the horizontal direction, d i is the longitudinal distance from each wheel to the center of mass; for the yaw term with a variable sign the yaw term of the left wheel is -, and the yaw term of the right wheel is +; for the yaw term ±d i r, the yaw term of the front axle wheels is +, and the yaw term of the rear axle wheels is -; r is the yaw angular velocity, and v is the lateral velocity;

[0104] Step S7.2: Establish the following equation for each tire sideslip angle:

[0105]

[0106] where α i is the tire sideslip angle;

[0107] Step S7.3: Establish the tire slip rate equations as follows:

[0108]

[0109] In the formula, ω i is the rotational angular velocity of each wheel, r w is the wheel radius, and λ i is the tire slip rate.

[0110] To verify the accuracy of the model, a comparison is made with the built-in mechanical steering vehicle model in Carsim, and a real vehicle simulation experiment is carried out. The input quantity of the model is the steering wheel angle.

[0111] The experimental conditions are selected as the steering wheel angle step input condition and the double lane change condition. The present invention verifies the accuracy of the vehicle model under the above conditions through the co-simulation of MATLAB / SIMULINK and Carsim. The following discusses these conditions separately.

[0112] Example 1: Double lane change condition simulation

[0113] The vehicle driving speed is maintained at 80 km / h, Figure 4 as shown in the steering wheel angle input, Figures 5 - 7 and the comparison diagrams of the yaw rate, center of mass side slip angle, and lateral acceleration under this condition are shown respectively.

[0116] In summary, the present invention proposes a fifteen-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model based on multi-body dynamics, specifically for the steer-by-wire system. The model has a simple and easy-to-use modeling method, and can effectively study the handling performance, stability, safety, dynamic response of the vehicle, the characteristics of the steer-by-wire system, and its performance under different conditions. In addition, the model is also applicable to the research of control systems for other types of vehicles.

[0117] The above has described the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art.
