Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure pertains to the field of automotive control technology, and particularly relates to a method, system, device, and medium for amphibious vehicle body stability control. Background Technology
[0002] The drive system of amphibious vehicles is a hot topic in the industry. When existing amphibious vehicles are sailing on water, they are easily affected by factors such as waves, wind, and water flow, which can cause instability such as tilting and drifting, affecting vehicle handling and ride comfort.
[0003] Current stability control technologies mainly rely on motor output drive adjustment or simple mechanical adjustment, which suffers from slow response speed and poor adaptability. How to achieve efficient and intelligent water stability control has become a key technical challenge.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new method, system, device, and medium for amphibious vehicle stability control to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a method, system, device, and medium for amphibious vehicle body stability control in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] This disclosure achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A method for vehicle stability control of an amphibious vehicle includes the following steps: After the vehicle enters the water, the tilt angle data is acquired in real time; When the tilt angle data exceeds a set threshold and the duration exceeds a preset time, the volume of the airbags set on both sides of the vehicle is adjusted in real time to adjust the buoyancy distribution and achieve the purpose of vehicle stability control.
[0007] As a further optimization of this disclosure, tilt angle data is acquired in real time through an attitude sensor; the attitude sensor includes a gyroscope and an accelerometer.
[0008] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the volume of the airbags located on both sides of the vehicle is adjusted in real time to adjust the buoyancy distribution, including: Based on the aforementioned roll angle data, vehicle mass data, distance between the two airbags, and vertical height between the vehicle's center of gravity and the chassis cross-section, calculate the gravitational torque and buoyancy restoring torque. The buoyancy difference between the two airbags is derived based on the gravitational torque and buoyancy restoring torque. The exhaust volume of the non-tilted side airbag is derived based on the buoyancy difference between the two airbags. Based on the exhaust volume, the airbag on the non-tilted side is vented or the airbag on the tilted side is inflated to adjust the buoyancy distribution.
[0009] As a further optimization of this disclosure, it also includes: After the vehicle enters the water, when the vehicle turns, the steering wheel angle sensor obtains the turning amplitude information, combines it with the vehicle speed signal, and predicts the centrifugal tilt trend caused by the turning direction based on the pre-calibrated turning roll data table, and adjusts the buoyancy of the inner airbag in advance to achieve turning compensation control.
[0010] As a further optimization of this disclosure, it also includes: When the volume of the airbags on both sides of the vehicle is adjusted to adjust the buoyancy distribution and balance the vehicle, if the vehicle body tilts again, it is determined whether the air pressure inside the tilt side airbag is less than the preset minimum air pressure threshold. If so, the tilt side airbag is inflated first.
[0011] As a further optimization of this disclosure, it also includes: When the tilt angle data is less than a set threshold and the duration exceeds a preset duration threshold, and the air pressure inside the airbag is less than a preset air pressure threshold, the airbag is inflated so that both airbags are at the initially set air pressure.

[0013] As a further optimization of this disclosure, the vehicle stability control module adjusts the volume of the airbags located on both sides of the vehicle in real time to adjust the buoyancy distribution, including: Based on the aforementioned roll angle data, vehicle mass data, distance between the two airbags, and vertical height between the vehicle's center of gravity and the chassis cross-section, calculate the gravitational torque and buoyancy restoring torque. The buoyancy difference between the two airbags is derived based on the gravitational torque and buoyancy restoring torque. The exhaust volume of the non-tilted side airbag is derived based on the buoyancy difference between the two airbags. Based on the exhaust volume, the airbag on the non-tilted side is vented or the airbag on the tilted side is inflated to adjust the buoyancy distribution.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for vehicle stability control of an amphibious vehicle includes the following steps: After the vehicle enters the water, the tilt angle data is acquired in real time; When the tilt angle data exceeds a set threshold and the duration exceeds a preset time, the volume of the airbags set on both sides of the vehicle is adjusted in real time to adjust the buoyancy distribution and achieve the purpose of vehicle stability control.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it specifically includes: Adjustable airbags are positioned on both sides of the vehicle, and the inflation volume is dynamically adjusted to adapt to different navigation conditions. Based on attitude sensors (gyroscope + accelerometer) detecting roll angle data, the lateral buoyancy distribution is adjusted in real time to improve balance.
[0021] After the vehicle enters the water, the suspension rises to its highest position, the power switches to water mode, and the airbags on both sides inflate to full capacity. Gyroscopes and accelerometers monitor changes in vehicle attitude in real time. If a tilt exceeding a set threshold (e.g., 5°) is detected, the airbag on the tilting side inflates to increase buoyancy, or the airbag on the higher side deflates to reduce buoyancy, thus straightening the vehicle.
[0022] For example, when the vehicle tilts, if the attitude sensor detects a leftward tilt angle ≥5°, the right airbag compartment deflates to adjust the center of gravity shift. Figure 3 As shown, when the vehicle body tilts to the left, assuming the tilt angle is... The vehicle's mass m = 2000kg, the distance between the left and right airbags d = 2.0m, and the vertical height h between the vehicle's center of gravity and the chassis cross-section = 0.8m.
[0023] At this moment, the gravitational torque is ; buoyancy restoring torque ≥
[0024] From the above equation, the equilibrium condition can be obtained as follows: ≥ ; because Therefore, the required reduction in volume of the right airbag can be deduced. ; The left tilt angle was measured to be tanθ = 5∘ ≈ 0.087. Calculate the required deflation volume for the right airbag: ΔV=(2x2000x0.087x0.8) / (1000x2)≈0.13m 3 .
[0025] Control the duration of air venting from the right airbag solenoid valve (flow rate Q=0.1m). 3 / s): t = ΔV / Q = 0.13 / 0.1 = 1.3 s; The buoyancy difference generates a restoring moment, and the heel angle decreases from 5° to <1° within 2 seconds; The volume of the right airbag increased from the initial 1.0 m³. 3 Reduced to 0.87m 3 When the vehicle body tilts again, determine if the tilt side airbag is saturated. If it is not saturated, prioritize inflating the tilt side airbag. If it is saturated, repeat the above steps.
[0026] This disclosure presents a method and system for controlling the stability of amphibious vehicles on water based on multi-sensor fusion and dynamic adjustment, which solves the problems of vehicle roll and wave interference when navigating on water; it greatly optimizes the stability of amphibious vehicles on water and is suitable for the development of future intelligent amphibious transportation vehicles.
[0027] When the vehicle is turning, the system obtains turning amplitude information through the steering wheel angle sensor. Each amplitude segment, combined with the speed signal, determines the possible roll angle of the current turn (which needs to be calibrated), anticipates the centrifugal tilt trend caused by the turning direction, and adjusts the buoyancy of the inner airbag in advance to reduce the risk of roll due to inertia, thus achieving turning compensation control. This mechanism can enhance vehicle stability while maintaining handling responsiveness.
[0028] For example, when the steering wheel angle input is 360° and the vehicle speed is 6 km / h, according to calibration data (as shown in the table below), it is determined that an outward camber angle of approximately 5.1° may occur under these conditions. The system then uses the aforementioned logic to pre-inflate the inward-facing airbag (i.e., the side facing the turn) by 0.13 m. 3 Or, the airbag on the other side deflates by 0.13 m. 3 To generate a restoring moment to counteract the impending roll.
[0029]
[0030] When the air pressure inside the airbag is lower than the preset air pressure threshold, the airbag will be inflated if the vehicle tilt angle is within ±5° and the tilt angle remains within the preset duration, so that both airbags return to the initial set air pressure.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, embodiments of this disclosure provide an amphibious vehicle stability control system, including: The data acquisition module is used to acquire the tilt angle data in real time after the vehicle enters the water; The vehicle stability control module is used to adjust the volume of the airbags set on both sides of the vehicle in real time when the roll angle data exceeds a set threshold and the duration exceeds a preset time, so as to adjust the buoyancy distribution and achieve the purpose of vehicle stability control.
