Description

[0002] The braking system is a very important system on a vehicle, which is related to the driving stability and safety factor of the vehicle. For the braking system, the vehicle brake disc and friction pads are crucial. Among them, since the braking of the vehicle is achieved by the friction generated by the contact between the friction pads and the brake disc, the brake disc and friction pads are vulnerable parts, that is, the service life of the brake disc and friction pads is limited. When the brake disc deteriorates to a certain extent, problems such as brake judder, braking force decline, and even brake disc cracking that affect the safe driving of the vehicle will occur. Therefore, real-time monitoring of whether the brake disc and friction pads reach the life limit is an important measure to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle.

[0003] However, in the related art, to determine whether the brake disc reaches the life limit, it is generally determined by measuring the wear amount of the brake disc thickness. Although this method can achieve the monitoring of the life limit of the brake disc to a certain extent, since the wear amount cannot truly represent the performance state of the brake disc, it is impossible to accurately judge whether the brake disc reaches the wear limit through the wear amount, that is, it is impossible to accurately monitor whether the brake disc reaches the life limit.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0055] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device, equipment and storage medium for monitoring the life limit of a vehicle brake disc, which can solve the problem in the related art that it is impossible to accurately monitor whether the brake disc reaches the life limit.

[0056] To solve the above technical problems, the general idea of the present application is as follows:

[0057] A method for monitoring the life limit of a vehicle brake disc, the method comprising the following steps:

[0058] Step S10: Obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the target brake disc;

[0059] Step S20: Compare the real-time braking pressure characteristic value with the braking pressure characteristic threshold;

[0060] Step S30: If the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is not less than the braking pressure characteristic threshold, determine that the target brake disc has reached the life limit.

[0061] The following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0062] See Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for monitoring the life limit of a vehicle brake disc, the method comprising the following steps:

[0063] Step S10: Obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the target brake disc;

[0064] Further, the obtaining of the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the target brake disc includes:

[0065] Based on a braking pressure sensor and a wheel speed sensor, obtain the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value of the target brake disc; wherein, the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value is used to characterize the thickness difference of the target brake disc, and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value is used to characterize the radial runout performance and roughness of the target brake disc;

[0066] Perform weighted processing on the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value based on a preset weight value to obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value.

[0067] Exemplarily, when the brake disc is used for a period of time, its performance indicators will decline. Among them, the typical 3 kinds of declines are: the radial runout becomes larger, the thickness difference becomes larger, and the roughness becomes larger, and the above 3 kinds of declines can be reflected by the pressure fluctuation of the braking hydraulic pressure within one revolution of the brake disc, that is, when the radial runout becomes larger, the thickness difference becomes larger, and the roughness becomes larger, the pressure fluctuation of the braking hydraulic pressure within one revolution of the brake disc will also become larger; and when the brake disc declines to a certain extent, situations affecting vehicle safety such as brake judder, braking force decline, and even brake disc cracking will occur. Therefore, in this embodiment, by obtaining the real-time braking pressure of the brake disc to characterize the performance state of the brake disc, it is directly related to the actual vehicle braking force and can more accurately reflect the actual performance state of the brake disc.

[0068] Among them, the thickness difference of the brake disc is mainly reflected in the braking pressure fluctuation value of the brake disc, while the radial runout performance and roughness of the brake disc are mainly reflected in the braking pressure fluctuation slope value of the brake. Therefore, in this embodiment, the braking pressure fluctuation value and the braking pressure fluctuation slope value can be obtained and these two characteristics can be combined to judge the life limit of the brake disc.

[0069] Specifically, the pressure signal of the braking pressure sensor integrated in the ESC (Electronic Stability Controller, body electronic stability control system) can be monitored in real time, and combined with the wheel speed pulse signal of the wheel speed sensor, and then the braking pipeline pressure change of the target brake disc rotating one week can be decomposed, so as to obtain the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value. Among them, the wheel speed sensor is installed on the wheel side and rotates with the wheel. Assuming that the toothed ring has 48 teeth, then the wheel speed sensor will emit 48 wheel speed pulses when the wheel rotates one week. Then, by every 48 wheel speed pulses, it can be determined that the wheel rotates one week, that is, the brake disc rotates one week.

[0070] Since the thickness difference of the brake disc has a greater impact on the life of the brake disc than the radial runout performance and roughness, weight values can be set in advance for the braking pressure fluctuation value and the braking pressure fluctuation slope value, and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value are weighted according to the weight values, so as to obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the target brake disc. For example, the weight value of the braking pressure fluctuation value can be set to 80%, and the weight value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope value is 20%. Therefore, the real-time braking pressure characteristic value = real-time braking pressure fluctuation value × 80% + real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value × 20%. It should be noted that the weight value can be determined according to the materials of the brake disc and the friction plate and corrected through actual test data. Of course, it can also be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0071] Step S20: Compare the real-time braking pressure characteristic value with the braking pressure characteristic threshold;

[0072] Furthermore, before the step of obtaining the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the target brake disc, it further includes:

[0073] Perform a vehicle braking simulation on the brake disc that has reached the life limit to obtain the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope;

[0074] Based on the preset weight value, weight the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope to obtain the braking pressure characteristic threshold.

[0075] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, it is also necessary to set the braking pressure characteristic threshold: On the brake disc test bench, use a brake disc that has reached the service life limit to simulate the braking pressure change under vehicle conditions, and extract typical characteristics (i.e., the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation). Among them, the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation refers to the pressure peak-valley corresponding to one rotation of the brake disc, that is, the maximum pressure difference, which can be understood as the maximum value - the minimum value of the brake disc thickness + radial runout + roughness. This value reflects the extreme value difference of the characteristic parameters within one week of the brake disc; and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation can be understood as the change rate of the brake disc thickness + radial runout + roughness. This value reflects the change rate of the brake disc characteristic parameters. The wear condition of the brake disc can be comprehensively evaluated by combining these two characteristics.

[0076] In this embodiment, weight values can also be set in advance for the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation, and weighted processing is performed on the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation according to this weight value, then the braking pressure characteristic threshold can be obtained. For example, the weight value of the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation can be set to 80%, and the weight value of the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation is 20%. Therefore, the braking pressure characteristic threshold = the real-time extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation × 80% + the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation × 20%. It should be noted that this weight value needs to be consistent with the weight values of the braking pressure fluctuation value and the slope value of braking pressure fluctuation.

[0077] Therefore, in this embodiment, it can be accurately determined whether the target brake disc has reached the service life limit by whether the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is less than the braking pressure characteristic threshold. It should be noted that it is also possible not to set weights for the braking pressure fluctuation value, the slope value of braking pressure fluctuation, the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation, and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation, but directly compare the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value with the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation and compare the real-time slope value of braking pressure fluctuation with the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation, and directly determine whether the target brake disc has reached the service life limit based on the comparison results. At this time, the real-time braking pressure characteristic value includes the braking pressure fluctuation value and the slope value of braking pressure fluctuation, and the braking pressure characteristic threshold includes the extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation and the extreme value of the slope of braking pressure fluctuation.

[0078] Step S30: If the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is not less than the braking pressure characteristic threshold, it is determined that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit.

[0079] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, when the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is less than the braking pressure characteristic threshold, it indicates that the actual performance of the target brake disc has not reached the state of being unusable, that is, it has not reached the service limit and can continue to be used. Then it is determined that the target brake disc has not reached the end of its life. If the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is greater than or equal to the braking pressure characteristic threshold, it indicates that the degree of deterioration of the target brake disc caused by the increase in radial runout, thickness difference, and roughness will have an adverse impact on the safe driving of the vehicle (such as severe braking judder, severe braking force decline, brake disc cracking, etc.). That is, the actual performance of the target brake disc has reached the service limit and cannot continue to be used. Then it is determined that the target brake disc has reached the end of its life and needs to be replaced.

[0080] Further, after the step of obtaining the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value of the target brake disc based on the braking pressure sensor and the wheel speed sensor, the following steps are further included:

[0081] Determine whether the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value is greater than a preset extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation;

[0082] If the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value is greater than the preset extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation, it is determined that the target brake disc has reached the end of its life;

[0083] If the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value is not greater than the preset extreme value of braking pressure fluctuation, perform the step of obtaining the real-time braking pressure characteristic value by performing weighted processing on the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value based on the preset weight value.

[0084] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, before performing weighted processing on the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value based on a preset weight value, an upper limit value (i.e., the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation) of the braking pressure fluctuation value can also be set to prevent the occurrence of abnormal usage conditions. Therefore, it can be first determined whether the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value is greater than the preset extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation. If not, the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value can be weighted processed to obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value, and it can be determined whether the target brake disc has reached the service life limit according to the real-time braking pressure characteristic value and the braking pressure characteristic threshold; if so, it means that the thickness difference of the target brake disc is too large, that is, the degradation degree of the target brake disc has been so large that it will have an adverse impact on the safe driving of the vehicle. Then, the actual performance of the target brake disc has reached the usage limit and cannot be used continuously. Therefore, it can be determined that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit, and at this time, the brake disc needs to be replaced. For example, if there is a large pit on the target brake disc, the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value of the target brake disc will be a relatively large value at this time, and then exceed the upper limit value (i.e., the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation, and the extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation can be initially set to 4 mm) allowed by the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value. At this time, it is necessary to determine that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit.

[0085] Further, after the step of obtaining the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value of the target brake disc based on the braking pressure sensor and the wheel speed sensor, it further includes:

[0086] Determine whether the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value is greater than a preset extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope;

[0087] If the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value is greater than the preset extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope, determine that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit;

[0088] If the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value is not greater than the preset extreme value of the braking pressure fluctuation slope, perform the step of performing weighted processing on the real-time braking pressure fluctuation value and the real-time braking pressure fluctuation slope value based on a preset weight value to obtain the real-time braking pressure characteristic value.

[0089] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, before performing weighted processing on the real-time brake pressure fluctuation value and the real-time brake pressure fluctuation slope value based on a preset weight value, an upper limit value of the brake pressure fluctuation slope value (i.e., the extreme value of the brake pressure fluctuation slope) can also be set to prevent the occurrence of abnormal usage conditions. Therefore, it can be first determined whether the real-time brake pressure fluctuation slope value is greater than the preset extreme value of the brake pressure fluctuation slope. If not, the real-time brake pressure fluctuation value and the real-time brake pressure fluctuation slope value can be weighted processed to obtain the real-time brake pressure characteristic value, and based on the real-time brake pressure characteristic value and the brake pressure characteristic threshold, it can be determined whether the target brake disc has reached the service life limit; if so, it indicates that the radial runout and / or roughness of the target brake disc are too large, that is, the deterioration degree of the target brake disc has become so large that it will have an adverse impact on the safe driving of the vehicle. Then, the actual performance of the target brake disc has reached the usage limit and cannot be used continuously. Therefore, it can be determined that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit, and at this time, the brake disc needs to be replaced.

[0090] For example, when the radial runout and roughness of the target brake disc are very large, the brake pressure fluctuation slope value of the target brake disc will also be quite high. When it exceeds the set upper limit value (i.e., the extreme value of the brake pressure fluctuation slope), it is also necessary to determine that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit.

[0091] Further, after the step of determining that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit if the real-time brake pressure characteristic value is not less than the brake pressure characteristic threshold, it further includes:

[0092] Sending a prompt message for prompting that the target brake disc has reached the service life limit and needs to be replaced to the instrument panel for display.

[0093] Exemplarily, due to customer negligence, there is often a situation where the brake disc is not replaced even though it is severely worn, resulting in potential safety hazards. In this embodiment, by real-time monitoring the wear condition and performance state of the target brake disc, when the target brake disc is approaching the wear limit (i.e., the performance deteriorates to the service life limit), the driver can be reminded that the brake disc has reached the wear limit and needs to be replaced through means such as instrument text or a malfunction indicator light; for example, the text reminder content "The brake disc has reached the wear limit, please replace the brake disc as soon as possible" is displayed on the instrument panel, thereby greatly improving the braking safety of the vehicle.

[0094] In summary, this embodiment proposes a method for monitoring the life limit of a brake disc to solve the vehicle driving safety problem caused by the current situation of judging whether the brake disc reaches the wear limit based on the experience of the wear amount or completely ignoring whether the brake disc has reached the life limit. Specifically, when monitoring the life limit of the vehicle brake disc, this embodiment determines whether the brake disc reaches the life limit according to the magnitude of the real-time braking pressure characteristic value of the brake disc: when the real-time braking pressure characteristic value is not less than the braking pressure characteristic threshold, it is determined that the target brake disc reaches the life limit. That is, this embodiment uses the braking pressure to characterize the performance state of the brake disc, which is directly related to the actual vehicle braking force and can more accurately reflect the actual performance state of the brake disc, thereby enabling accurate monitoring of whether the brake disc reaches the life limit. In addition, this embodiment uses the existing sensor information of the vehicle to achieve accurate monitoring of the life limit of the brake disc, that is, without increasing the cost of vehicle parts, the life limit of the brake disc can be monitored only through a software model.

[0095] It should be noted that the step numbers of each step in the embodiments of this application do not limit the order of operations in the technical solutions of this application.

[0099] Further, the acquisition unit is specifically used for:
