Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a control method for a steer-by-wire system, a control device for a steer-by-wire system, a computer-readable storage medium, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional steering systems, connected by mechanical hardware, can generally only achieve a constant steering ratio. Even with rack and pinion steering systems using variable steering ratios, the steering ratio cannot be adjusted according to vehicle speed. In steer-by-wire systems, the mechanical hardware of the steering wheel and wheels is completely decoupled, replaced by electrical signal transmission control. Therefore, steer-by-wire systems use software to dynamically select the variable steering ratio based on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle, perfectly balancing low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability.
[0003] Compared to the rack and pinion design of traditional electric power steering systems with variable steering ratio, steer-by-wire systems can achieve a wider range of dynamically variable steering ratios that are adjustable with vehicle speed and steering wheel angle through software.
[0004] However, if the variable steering ratio range is designed to be too small, it will not effectively improve the vehicle's path tracking ability; if the variable steering ratio range is designed to be too large, it will cause excessive changes in steering sensitivity and expected yaw rate gain, affecting the vehicle's stability at high speeds and bringing safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0032] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines the control method, control device, computer-readable storage medium, and vehicle for the steer-by-wire system proposed in embodiments of the present invention.
[0033] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a control method for a steer-by-wire system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the steer-by-wire system in this embodiment of the invention may include the following steps:
[0035] S1, obtain the vehicle speed.
[0036] S2, determine that the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset vehicle speed threshold and the vehicle meets the first preset condition. The first preset vehicle speed threshold can be determined according to the actual situation; for example, the first preset vehicle speed threshold can be 15 kph.
[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is fault-free and the vehicle is in a straight-line driving state, it is determined that the vehicle meets a first preset condition.
[0038] Further, according to an embodiment of the present invention, determining that the vehicle is in a straight-line driving state includes: the steering wheel angle being less than a first preset angle threshold; the steering wheel rotation speed being less than a first preset rotation speed threshold; and the gear angle of the steering actuator being less than a second preset angle threshold. The first preset angle threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, and can be between 0° and 5°, for example, the first preset angle threshold can be 5°; the first preset rotation speed threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, and can be between 0° / s and 10° / s, for example, the first preset rotation speed threshold can be 10° / s; the second preset angle threshold can be determined according to actual conditions, and can be between 0° and 5°, for example, the second preset angle threshold can be 5°.
[0039] Specifically, when determining the steering ratio based on vehicle speed, the vehicle speed is first acquired, for example, through a speed sensor. After acquiring the vehicle speed, its magnitude is assessed to determine if it is greater than or equal to a first preset speed threshold, and whether the vehicle meets a first preset condition. For example, if the acquired vehicle speed is 20 kph, which is 15 kph higher than the first preset speed threshold, then the speed is determined to be greater than the preset speed threshold. When determining if the vehicle meets the first preset condition, it is necessary to check if the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is malfunctioning and whether the vehicle is traveling in a straight line. To determine if the steer-by-wire system is malfunctioning, for example, by testing the steer-by-wire system to determine if it is operating normally. If the steer-by-wire system is malfunctioning, the vehicle does not meet the first preset condition. If the steer-by-wire system is found to be operating normally, it indicates that the steer-by-wire system is functioning correctly, and at this point, it is still necessary to determine if the vehicle is traveling in a straight line.
[0040] When determining that a vehicle is traveling in a straight line, this can be achieved by combining the steering wheel angle, steering wheel speed, and steering actuator gear angle. For example, if the steering wheel angle is less than a first preset angle threshold (5 degrees), the steering wheel speed is less than a first preset speed (10 degrees / s), and the steering actuator gear angle is less than a second preset angle threshold (5 degrees), then the vehicle is currently traveling in a straight line. Therefore, when the drive-by-wire steering system is functioning correctly and the vehicle is traveling in a straight line, the vehicle meets the first preset condition. However, if the steering wheel angle is greater than or equal to the first preset angle threshold (5 degrees), or the steering wheel speed is greater than or equal to the first preset speed (10 degrees / s), or the steering actuator gear angle is greater than or equal to the second preset angle threshold (5 degrees), it indicates that the vehicle may be turning and is not traveling in a straight line; that is, the vehicle does not meet the first preset condition.
[0041] S3 determines the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed.
[0042] According to one embodiment of the present invention, determining a target steering ratio based on vehicle speed includes: obtaining a correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio; and determining a target steering ratio based on vehicle speed and the correspondence.
[0043] Furthermore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio includes: obtaining a first correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio when the current operating mode of the vehicle is automatic parking mode; and obtaining a second correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio when the current operating mode of the vehicle is automatic driving mode.
[0044] Specifically, the steering ratio, also known as the steering drive ratio, refers to the ratio of the steering wheel angle in the upper steering system to the wheel angle in the lower steering system. For example, if the steering wheel is turned 90° to the right, and the vehicle's steering wheels turn 30° to the right, the steering ratio is 3:1. The user or vehicle can adjust the steering ratio, for example, to 2:1, so when the steering wheel is turned 90° to the right, the vehicle's steering wheels turn 45° to the right. Based on the vehicle's handling performance and response characteristics, generally, when the vehicle is traveling at low speeds, a smaller drive ratio is required to meet the vehicle's maneuverability needs at low speeds. When the vehicle is traveling at high speeds, a larger drive ratio is required to improve the vehicle's high-speed steering stability.
[0045] When determining the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed, the correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio is obtained. This correspondence varies depending on the vehicle's operating mode. For example, when the vehicle's current operating mode is automatic parking, a first correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio is obtained. The steer-by-wire system automatically matches a dynamically variable steering ratio that adjusts with both vehicle speed and steering wheel angle. For instance, at lower vehicle speeds, a smaller steering ratio can be used to facilitate steering during low-speed parking. When the vehicle's current operating mode is autonomous driving, a second correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio is obtained. The steer-by-wire system supports both a constant speed ratio and a dynamically variable steering ratio that adjusts with steering angle. For instance, when the vehicle is driving automatically at higher speeds, a larger steering ratio can be used to ensure vehicle stability at high speeds. Both the first and second correspondences can be pre-calibrated MAP maps. Therefore, the target steering ratio can be determined based on the vehicle speed and its corresponding relationship.
[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the steer-by-wire system further includes: determining that the vehicle speed is less than a first preset vehicle speed threshold; and determining a target steering ratio based on the vehicle speed and the steering wheel angle when the vehicle meets a second preset condition.
[0047] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is fault-free, it is determined that the vehicle meets a second preset condition.
[0048] Specifically, after acquiring the vehicle's speed, a judgment is made on the speed. When the vehicle speed is less than a first preset speed threshold, for example, the currently acquired speed is 10 kph, which is less than the preset speed threshold (15 kph), and it is determined that the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is fault-free and working normally, the target steering ratio can be determined based on the vehicle speed and steering wheel angle.
[0049] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, determining the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle includes: obtaining a third correspondence between vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and steering ratio; and determining the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and the third correspondence. Wherein, at a constant vehicle speed, the steering wheel angle and steering ratio are negatively correlated, and at a constant steering wheel angle, vehicle speed and steering ratio are positively correlated.
[0050] Specifically, when determining the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed and steering wheel angle, a third correspondence between vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and steering ratio can be obtained. This third correspondence can be a pre-calibrated MAP (Modular Map). That is, at a constant vehicle speed, steering wheel angle and steering ratio are negatively correlated. For example, when a vehicle is traveling at 10 kph, a larger steering wheel angle results in a smaller steering ratio. This allows the driver to produce a relatively large steering angle with a small steering wheel angle signal, simplifying the driver's steering operation and facilitating vehicle steering. Conversely, a smaller steering wheel angle results in a larger steering ratio, meaning a smaller front wheel angle is obtained with a larger steering wheel angle, thus ensuring vehicle stability. When the steering wheel angle is constant, vehicle speed and steering ratio are positively correlated. For example, if the current steering wheel angle is 5 degrees, the higher the vehicle speed, the larger the corresponding steering ratio. This ensures the stability of the car at higher speeds and prevents the driver from losing control of the vehicle due to a large front wheel deflection angle caused by turning the steering wheel in an emergency at high speeds, thus avoiding accidents. Conversely, the lower the vehicle speed, the smaller the corresponding steering ratio. This allows the driver to produce a relatively large steering angle with a small steering wheel angle signal at low speeds, simplifying the driver's steering operation. Therefore, the target steering ratio can be determined based on the current vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and this third correlation.
[0051] In addition, through simulation analysis or statistical analysis of vehicle debugging data, the boundaries of steering wheel speed and yaw rate gain under different vehicle speed conditions can be obtained, and the steering wheel speed and yaw rate gain can be controlled to not exceed the boundary values to ensure vehicle driving safety.
[0052] The following combination Figure 2 The control method of the present invention will be described below.
[0053] As a specific example, the control method of the steer-by-wire system of the present invention may include the following steps:
[0054] S101, obtain the vehicle speed.
[0055] S102, determine whether the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the first preset vehicle speed threshold. If yes, proceed to step S103; if no, proceed to step S106.
[0056] S103, determine whether the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is fault-free and whether the vehicle is traveling in a straight line. If yes, proceed to step S104; if no, proceed to step S101.
[0057] S104, obtain the correspondence between vehicle speed and steering ratio.
[0058] S105, determine the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed and the corresponding relationship.
[0059] S106, Determine if the vehicle's steer-by-wire system is fault-free. If yes, proceed to step S107; if no, proceed to step S101.
[0060] S107 obtains the correspondence between vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and steering ratio.
[0061] S108 determines the target steering ratio based on vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and their corresponding relationships.
[0062] In summary, the control method for the steer-by-wire system according to embodiments of the present invention first acquires the vehicle speed, then determines that the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a first preset speed threshold and that the vehicle meets a first preset condition, and finally determines the target steering ratio based on the vehicle speed. Therefore, this method can determine the steering ratio based on vehicle speed, thereby effectively improving the vehicle's path tracking capability and ensuring vehicle driving safety.
[0063] Corresponding to the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a control device for a steer-by-wire system.

[0070] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second determining module 130 is further configured to: determine that the vehicle speed is less than a first preset vehicle speed threshold; and determine a target steering ratio based on the vehicle speed and steering wheel angle when the vehicle meets the second preset condition.
