Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electric servo mechanism, and particularly relates to an automatic zero adjustment device and method of an electric steering engine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The zero adjustment of the electric steering engine is to adjust the angle of the output shaft of the steering engine and the position of the angle sensor, so that the angle of the output shaft of the steering engine meets the operation of defining zero. The zero adjustment of the electric steering engine mainly includes two steps of mechanical zero adjustment and electrical zero adjustment. The mechanical zero adjustment refers to stopping the output shaft in a position within a certain angle range based on a certain reference by rotating the output shaft of the electric steering engine; and the electrical zero position is to match a fixed value to the sensor after the mechanical zero position is calibrated, so as to establish an angle reference point of the output shaft of the steering engine and an electrical angle reference point. With more and more types of products and larger and larger quantities of the steering engines, it is self-evident that it is important to improve the calibration accuracy and efficiency of the mechanical zero position and the electrical zero position of the steering engine.

[0003] The existing mechanical zero position calibration method of the steering engine is as follows: the forging surface of the steering engine reducer is placed on an aluminum flat plate, one straight side of a right-angled aluminum module is attached to the aluminum flat plate, and the other straight side is attached to the plane of the output shaft of the steering engine, the attachment degree of the plane of the output shaft and the straight side of the right-angled aluminum module is observed by the human eye, and the complete attachment of the two planes is taken as the mechanical zero position reference of the steering engine. In this process, the adjustment of the plane of the output shaft of the steering engine is completed by connecting the steering engine M1 and M2 with the output of the direct current power supply and rotating the voltage adjusting knob. The electrical zero adjustment is a work performed after the mechanical zero adjustment is completed, and the resistance value of the sensor is half of the total range at the mechanical zero position. At present, the zero adjustment of some electric steering engines mainly relies on manual operation, and this method has the following disadvantages:

[0004] (1) The zero adjustment results of different operators are different, resulting in poor consistency;

[0005] (2) The zero adjustment precision is required to be high, and the polarity and value of the voltage are changed for many times, so that the zero adjustment method has the disadvantages of unstable operation and low efficiency.

[0046] Preferably, the angle encoder 2 is a grating angle encoder 2.

[0047] The application also provides an automatic zero setting method of the electric steering engine, which comprises mechanical zero setting of the electric steering engine and electrical zero setting of the electric steering engine.

[0048] The mechanical zero setting step is as follows:

[0049] The mechanical zero position deviation generated after the output shaft plane of the electric steering engine 4 is connected with the mechanical zero position tool shaft plane is obtained;

[0050] The angle encoder 2 generates a step distance signal and an angle deviation signal according to the mechanical zero position deviation, and the signals are transmitted to the steering engine direction and step distance driver 10 through two D / A control paths;

[0051] The steering engine direction and step distance driver 10 controls the electric steering engine 4 to rotate to the mechanical zero position;

[0052] The above operation is repeated until the mechanical zero position deviation read by the angle encoder 2 is within the set error range, and the automatic mechanical zero setting of the electric steering engine 4 is realized.

[0053] The electrical zero adjustment procedure is as follows:

[0057] Preferably, the setting error range of the mechanical zero deviation is ±0.05°.

[0058] As shown in the accompanying drawings, Figure 3 The steering engine direction and step distance driver 10 controls the rotation of the electric steering engine 4 to the mechanical zero position, including direction driving and step distance driving.

[0077] 6) Click the "automatic zero adjustment" button of the interface mechanical angle zero adjustment part, start the D / A control card. Each time, according to the current position angle of the steering received from the angle encoder 2, judge the direction and size of the current angle of the steering, drive the steering direction and step distance driver 10 by D / A1 and D / A2 two-way D / A, generate a unipolar PWM signal to control the special mechanical zero position of the steering, until the steering reaches the zero position requirement. The instrument panel of the interface will display the current angle of the steering. When the steering angle reaches ± 0.05°, the interface will prompt "mechanical zero position has arrived".

[0078] (2) The adjustment principle of the electrical zero position of the electric steering 4 is as follows:
