Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reinforcement learning, and particularly to a dynamic control system and method for a heat dissipation drum brake based on reinforcement learning. Background Art
[0002] As an important part of a vehicle braking system, drum brakes are widely used in various passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and heavy-duty vehicles, and still dominate in rear-wheel braking and medium- and low-speed vehicle systems. Compared with disc brakes, drum brakes have the advantages of compact structure, low cost, good sealing, and convenient maintenance. However, under conditions of long-term braking, frequent braking, or high-load operation, the temperature of drum brakes is likely to rise rapidly. If heat dissipation is not timely or the control is unreasonable, it is extremely easy to cause the phenomenon of thermal fade, which will further lead to serious safety problems such as a decline in braking performance, thermal expansion and deformation, and abnormal wear of friction linings.
[0003] To address the problem of thermal fade of drum brakes, passive heat dissipation designs (such as adding heat sinks, enlarging ventilation openings, improving the thermal conductivity of materials, etc.) or simple active heat dissipation controls (such as turning on a fan or a liquid cooling device when the temperature exceeds a set threshold) are generally adopted in the prior art to assist in cooling. However, although passive designs can improve the heat dissipation efficiency at the structural level, it is difficult to cope with sudden situations where heat accumulates rapidly during dynamic driving. The active heat dissipation methods mostly adopt fixed-threshold trigger control, lacking the ability to predict the temperature rise trend, with a lag in response, and it is easy to cause untimely or excessive heat dissipation control, affecting the energy consumption of the whole vehicle and braking safety.
[0004] In recent years, with the development of sensors, communication, and computing platforms, vehicle thermal management systems have begun to evolve towards intelligence. Some studies have attempted to introduce advanced methods such as model predictive control, fuzzy control, and adaptive control to optimize the heat dissipation process. However, the above methods generally rely on accurate physical modeling, complex control law design, and are not very adaptable to changes in the driving environment and data dimension expansion. For example, model predictive control requires establishing an accurate mathematical model for vehicle load, speed, braking conditions, etc., and it is difficult to maintain long-term stability under actual complex working conditions; while fuzzy control is prone to problems of inconsistent control performance when facing high-dimensional dynamic systems due to the relatively subjective rule design.
[0005] In addition, the existing heat dissipation control methods generally have the following technical deficiencies: First, they fail to make full use of historical operation data to predict the temperature rise trend, unable to achieve early heat dissipation preparation, which reduces the foresight and initiative of control; Second, the control strategy lacks an intelligent evolution mechanism and fails to dynamically adjust with changes in working conditions and driving behaviors, resulting in fixed and rigid control effects and making it difficult to adapt to complex and changing driving environments; Third, there is a lack of a systematic optimization process for the parameters of the heat dissipation control model. Traditional methods often rely on empirical parameter setting and it is difficult to obtain the optimal performance combination.
[0006] In recent years, significant progress has been made in the application of reinforcement learning in fields such as automatic control, robot decision-making, and energy scheduling. Especially in systems with a large state space, multiple control objectives, and fast-changing environments, reinforcement learning demonstrates strong adaptability and self-learning capabilities. In the field of vehicle thermal management, reinforcement learning has the natural advantage of learning the optimal control strategy through reward and punishment feedback, and can adaptively optimize the control strategy through interaction with the environment under the condition of lacking an accurate physical model. However, there are still challenges in directly applying reinforcement learning to drum brake heat dissipation control, such as incomplete state space construction, slow policy convergence speed, and insufficient training samples.
[0007] At the same time, temperature change belongs to typical time series data. How to accurately extract the trend characteristics of the thermal state evolving over time is the key to achieving accurate prediction. Traditional methods mostly use simple methods such as moving average and first-order difference for trend analysis, ignoring the long-term dependence information in the time series data. The gated recurrent unit neural network (GRU) has become one of the mainstream technologies in the current time series prediction field due to its advantages such as simple structure, high computational efficiency, and strong long-term memory ability when dealing with sequence data. Introducing the GRU model into the thermal state prediction of drum brakes can effectively improve the accuracy of temperature rise trend prediction and provide a reliable basis for subsequent control strategies.
[0008] On the other hand, there are a large number of hyperparameters in the reinforcement learning model and neural network model (such as learning rate, number of hidden units, discount factor, reward weight, etc.). These hyperparameters directly affect the model performance and convergence speed. Traditional parameter adjustment methods mostly rely on manual experience or grid search, which is not only inefficient but also easily falls into local optima. Therefore, introducing swarm intelligence optimization algorithms (such as particle swarm, differential evolution, whale optimization, etc.) has become an important means to improve the parameter optimization efficiency in recent years. Among them, the Harris Hawks Optimization algorithm, as an emerging heuristic intelligent algorithm, simulates the behavior of a group of eagles hunting prey and has the characteristics of flexible search strategies, strong local development ability, and excellent global optimization ability, making it very suitable for hyperparameter optimization of high-dimensional nonlinear models.
[0009] However, the application of existing optimization algorithms in the cooling system is mostly limited to the parameter optimization of a single model (such as a neural network prediction model), and a mechanism for collaborative optimization of prediction and control models has not been formed. Moreover, the dynamic influence of external information such as driving mode and working condition characteristics on the optimization process has not been considered. In addition, the existing optimization strategies lack a surprise response mechanism for high-risk hot emergencies and cannot make large-step parameter adjustments in a timely manner during the rapid temperature rise stage, which limits the system's rapid adaptation ability to thermal emergencies.
[0010] Therefore, how to provide a dynamic control system and method for a cooling drum brake based on reinforcement learning is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

On this basis, by constructing a heat dissipation control action space and training the control strategy network using the proximal policy optimization algorithm, an efficient mapping relationship from the extended state vector to the optimal heat dissipation control action is established, significantly improving the stability and convergence speed of strategy generation. By designing a multi-objective reward function and using temperature stability, energy consumption level, response time, and driving mode deviation as comprehensive evaluation criteria, it is ensured that the heat dissipation control strategy of the system is not only accurate and effective under complex working conditions but also takes into account energy efficiency and comfort. Further, a clipping function and a driving mode consistency constraint term are introduced during the strategy training process to effectively avoid unstable behaviors caused by excessive strategy updates and improve the matching degree of the control strategy with actual driving behaviors. After training is completed, the control strategy network can output refined and dynamic heat dissipation control strategies in real time according to the extended state vector at any moment, realizing feedforward control and real-time adjustment of temperature rise. Overall, this method has the advantages of strong strategy stability, high control accuracy, and strong adaptability, and can be widely applied to the intelligent vehicle thermal management system.

First, a temperature control physical model is constructed based on the principles of heat conduction and energy conservation, key physical parameters such as the heat conduction coefficient, heat transfer area, and mass are introduced, and indicators reflecting the actual working conditions are constructed in combination with the vehicle operation data, so that the model performance can be evaluated on the premise of meeting the physical constraints and working condition adaptability. Secondly, a comprehensive fitness function including prediction error, strategy error, physical deviation and working condition deviation is constructed as the optimization goal, so that the algorithm can optimize the prediction accuracy, strategy reliability and system adaptability at the same time. In terms of the optimization strategy, an adaptive dynamic step factor is constructed by combining the prediction result of the temperature rise trend and the driving mode deviation. When the predicted high temperature risk appears, an enhanced surprise update is triggered to accelerate the algorithm convergence and improve the response ability to sudden risks. Finally, by jointly updating the parameters of the thermal state prediction model and the control strategy network, an intelligent thermal control system integrating physical mechanism and data-driven is constructed. This method effectively improves the scientificity and efficiency of parameter tuning, and has the remarkable advantages of stable control effect, reliable optimization result and strong working condition adaptability.

[0152] In this embodiment, S5 specifically includes:
[0153] S51. Obtain real-time thermal state data and input it into the optimized thermal state prediction model, and use the thermal state prediction model to predict the temperature rise trend of the drum brake in the short term in the future, which is used to judge the temperature change trend and control requirements;

[0159] By constructing a closed-loop real-time control mechanism, the present invention realizes the intelligent execution and dynamic regulation of the heat dissipation process of drum brakes, overcoming the problems of traditional systems such as response lag, control rigidity, and feedback absence. After obtaining the thermal state data, the system immediately calls the optimized thermal state prediction model to predict the temperature rise trend in the short term in the future, thereby perceiving the temperature change risk in advance and providing feedforward support for subsequent control. By jointly inputting the current thermal state, temperature rise trend, and driving mode into the optimized control strategy network, the system can output a heat dissipation control strategy and parameters highly matching the current working conditions, realizing the fine regulation of multi-dimensional control variables such as fan startup, wind speed level, and cooling medium flow rate.

[0167] Embodiment 1:
[0168] To verify the feasibility of this invention, a certain brand of light truck was tested on a long, mountainous downhill section. This section, approximately 21 kilometers long, included numerous long slopes, sharp bends, tunnels, and frequent braking, posing a significant risk of thermal degradation. The test vehicle was a rear-wheel drive light truck equipped with drum brakes, with a fully loaded gross mass of 4.5 tons. The braking system consisted of a rear drum brake with liquid cooling and auxiliary heating. The vehicle was equipped with a standard temperature acquisition system, an ECU control unit, an intelligent fan actuator module, and a brake system data analysis platform.
[0169] Traditional systems for these vehicles typically use a fixed threshold to trigger the fan for cooling control. This involves automatically activating the cooling device when the brake drum temperature exceeds a set value (e.g., 220°C). However, this approach has significant drawbacks: delayed control response, a single strategy, high energy consumption, and the risk of repeated high temperatures and even thermal decay on complex slopes.
[0170] In this example, the system was integrated into a test vehicle and connected to the vehicle's CAN bus via a front-mounted deployment. The system also enabled intelligent prediction of drum brake temperature rise trends, dynamic control strategy generation, and parameter optimization modules. During operation, the system continuously collected vehicle operating status information, including multi-dimensional signals such as speed, braking intensity, braking duration, ambient temperature, and friction frequency. This information was then generated into a complete thermal state vector, which was then fed into an optimized gated recurrent unit neural network. The network then outputted temperature rise trend data for the next 60 seconds, which the control strategy network used to generate the optimal cooling control instructions.
[0171] The control strategy network, trained using a proximal strategy optimization algorithm, dynamically generates control parameters such as fan activation level and liquid cooling medium flow rate adjustment value, based on a multi-objective function that considers temperature stability, response speed, energy efficiency, and driving mode matching. The system also incorporates an improved Harris Eagle optimization module. When the system detects a significant temperature fluctuation or high-temperature risk, it immediately invokes an adaptive preemptive strategy to fine-tune key hyperparameters online, ensuring optimal control strategy response in emergencies.
[0172] In the actual road test for 6 consecutive days, the control system of the present invention (experimental group) and the traditional threshold control system (comparison group) were respectively used to run on the same route to test key indicators such as temperature peak value, fan response time, and energy consumption during heat dissipation during each braking process.
[0173] Table 1 Drum brake heat dissipation performance comparison data table
[0174]
[0175]
[0176] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the heat dissipation control system driven by reinforcement learning proposed in the present invention significantly outperforms the traditional fixed-threshold control method in multiple key performance indicators. In terms of the average maximum temperature, the brake drum temperature of the experimental group was effectively controlled at 187.3 °C, while that of the control group reached 226.8 °C, with a reduction amplitude of 17.4%. This result indicates that the system of the present invention can effectively suppress the temperature peak and avoid performance degradation or thermal fade problems of the braking system due to overheating. Further analyzing the number of times the temperature exceeded 220 °C, no temperature overlimit event occurred in the experimental group during continuous multi-day and multiple downhill tests, while the traditional control system had 12 high-temperature situations where the temperature exceeded 220 °C under the same conditions. This result proves that the system has a strong ability to prevent high-temperature risks by predicting the temperature rise trend in advance and dynamically adjusting the heat dissipation strategy, significantly improving the safety and reliability of the system. In terms of control response, the average response delay of the fan is also an important indicator to measure the intelligence level of the system. The response time of the experimental group was 0.46 seconds, much faster than 2.13 seconds of the control group, with an advance response amplitude of 78.4%. This shows that the system intervenes in control when the temperature trend begins to show signs through the real-time policy generation mechanism, avoiding the lag of the traditional "after-the-fact remedy" type of control.
[0177] From the perspective of energy consumption, the average fan on-time of the experimental group was 148 seconds, which was more than 50 seconds less than 201 seconds of the control group, saving approximately 26.4% of the heat dissipation energy consumption. This shows that on the premise of achieving a better level of temperature control, the present invention can also reduce the fan workload, improve the overall energy efficiency, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0178] Finally, in terms of heat dissipation efficiency, the time for the temperature to drop from the high point to the set safe range is an indicator that comprehensively reflects the responsiveness of the model and the system regulation ability. The experimental group only needed an average of 176 seconds to complete the drop process, while the control group needed 292 seconds, with an improvement amplitude as high as 40%. This indicates that in the closed-loop execution of heat dissipation control, the system not only responds faster and controls more accurately, but also is more efficient in restoring cooling.
[0179] In summary, the data in the table fully reflects the technical advantages of the system of the present invention in the field of heat dissipation control of drum brakes. By integrating reinforcement learning, gated recurrent unit network, and improved Harris hawk optimization algorithm, the system realizes intelligent closed-loop management from prediction to control, successfully solving the problems existing in the traditional heat dissipation control methods such as response lag, high-temperature out-of-control, and high energy consumption, providing a feasible and efficient engineering path for thermal management intelligence.
