Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automotive suspension systems, and particularly to a control method for a dual-chamber air spring based on vehicle state recognition. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of society and economy, the improvement of automotive manufacturing technology and the development of industrial level, people's requirements for automobiles are constantly increasing, especially the upgrading and improvement in aspects such as the ride comfort and handling stability of automobiles. For general passive suspensions, suspension development designers can, through reasonable matching, calculate the suspension spring stiffness and shock absorber damping coefficient, which can, to a certain extent, balance the handling stability and ride comfort during vehicle driving. However, during driving, in the face of different vehicle loads, vehicle speeds, road conditions, and special road conditions, it is difficult for passive suspensions to ensure that the vehicle can meet various situations.
[0003] Air suspensions have characteristics such as adjustable stiffness and adjustable vehicle body height, and their applications in the automotive field are increasing day by day. In order to further improve the performance of air springs, many domestic and foreign scholars have proposed dual-chamber air springs, which, compared with single air springs, add an additional air chamber and throttling elements (such as throttle valves). The additional air chamber can be used to expand the volume of the air spring, thereby reducing the stiffness of the air spring and improving the ride comfort of the vehicle under normal road conditions. However, at the same time, the decrease in the stiffness of the air suspension will lead to a decrease in the roll stiffness of the vehicle, thus affecting the handling stability of the vehicle.
[0004] Li Zhongxing et al. in the document "A lateral interconnected air suspension imitating skyhook interconnected state control system and control method" provided in CN106828004A proposed to set solenoid valves on the connecting pipelines of the lateral interconnected air springs, and control the opening and closing of the interconnected solenoid valves by obtaining the unsprung mass and the roll angle of the unsprung mass, and adjust the roll stiffness of the suspension to achieve the purpose of suppressing the roll movement of the sprung mass. However, existing sensors are difficult to directly collect small displacements, so it is difficult to accurately measure the displacement of the unsprung mass, and the control accuracy cannot meet the use requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of existing passive suspensions and air springs, and propose a control method for a dual-chamber air spring based on vehicle state recognition. First, the centroid acceleration and suspension dynamic deflection are measured by height sensors and acceleration sensors installed on the vehicle, a dual-chamber air spring model and a vehicle body vertical dynamics model are constructed, the displacements of the tires and the roll angles of the vehicle body are predicted under different working states of the air spring and different vehicle states, and the working state of the dual-chamber air spring is determined according to the relationship between the roll angle of the vehicle body and the tire displacement, so as to further determine the connection and disconnection of the solenoid valve, thereby realizing the coordinated control of the ride comfort and handling stability of the vehicle.
[0006] To achieve the object of the present invention, a dual-chamber air spring control method based on vehicle state recognition provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

The bladder, the upper cover plate, and the outer surface of the piston form the main air chamber, and an additional air chamber is formed inside the piston. The two air chambers are controlled to be connected or disconnected by the solenoid valve.

[0044] Furthermore, in step (3), the steps of obtaining the estimated vehicle body roll angle and the unsprung mass roll angle include: The first step: Discretize the state equation and output equation of the system to obtain the state space equations of the discretized state observation system and parameter estimation system.
[0045] Step 2: Based on the state - space equations of the discrete - form state - observation system and parameter - estimation system, the Kalman filtering algorithm is used for state observation and parameter estimation to obtain the state - estimation results of the vehicle - body roll angle and the displacement of the unsprung mass.

[0066] Furthermore, the front and rear axle dual-chamber air springs are controlled separately, and the switching control strategy is as follows:
[0067] Taking the front axle (the method for the rear axle is the same) as an example:
[0068] If , the control system outputs a signal to close the solenoid valve to the front axle, outputs a high level to the normally open solenoid valves in the left and right two dual-chamber air springs of the front axle, and disconnects the connection between the main air chamber and the additional air chamber;
[0069] If , the control system outputs a signal to open the solenoid valve to the front axle, outputs a low level to the normally open solenoid valves in the left and right two dual-chamber air springs of the front axle, and connects the main air chamber and the additional air chamber.
[0070] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can at least achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0071] (1) By using the measurable dynamic deflections of the suspensions and the vertical acceleration of the vehicle body, the present invention estimates the displacement of the unsprung mass and the roll angle of the sprung mass by using the Kalman filtering algorithm, and finally performs on-off control on the solenoid valves in the air springs, with high control accuracy.
[0072] (2) The present invention establishes a state observer and uses the Kalman filtering algorithm to estimate the displacement signal of the unsprung mass required in the control strategy, and can obtain an accurate displacement signal.
[0073] (3) By controlling the solenoid valves connecting the main and auxiliary air chambers in the air springs, the present invention changes the stiffness of the air springs to meet the performance requirements under different working conditions. For example, when in a straight-line working condition, the solenoid valve is opened to connect the two air chambers, reducing the stiffness of the air spring and improving the ride comfort of the vehicle; when in a steering working condition, the solenoid valve is closed to cut off the two air chambers, increasing the stiffness of the air spring and improving the handling stability of the vehicle.

[0155] ② Take the front axle (the control strategy for the rear axle is the same) as an example to give the control strategy of the double-chamber air spring:
[0156] If the control system outputs a closing solenoid valve signal to the front axle, it outputs a high level to the normally open solenoid valves in the left and right double-chamber air springs of the front axle, disconnects the communication between the main air chamber and the auxiliary air chamber, increases the air spring stiffness, thereby increasing the roll stiffness of the front axle and improving the vehicle handling stability.
[0157] If the control system outputs an opening solenoid valve signal to the front axle, it outputs a low level to the normally open solenoid valves in the left and right double-chamber air springs of the front axle, connects the main air chamber and the auxiliary air chamber, reduces the air spring stiffness, thereby reducing the roll stiffness of the front axle and improving the vehicle ride comfort.
