Description

[0002] The electric power steering pump in a vehicle provides steering fluid pressure to the steering gear, thereby reducing the difficulty of steering operations for the driver and improving the vehicle's maneuverability.

[0003] In existing technologies, the control strategy for electric power steering pumps is to maintain a maximum constant speed after the vehicle is powered on until the vehicle is powered off. However, even when there is no need for steering, the electric power steering pump continues to operate at this maximum constant speed, resulting in high energy consumption and waste. When the vehicle is stationary, other components enter a quiet state, while the electric power steering pump maintains a constant speed, leading to significant noise and affecting the passenger experience. Furthermore, maintaining a constant high speed shortens the lifespan of the electric power steering pump. Therefore, reducing the energy consumption and noise of the electric power steering pump while ensuring the vehicle's steering needs are met is a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Determine whether the vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed. If so, continue to determine whether the handbrake is in the handbrake engaged state. Otherwise, determine that the vehicle is not stationary.

[0013] If the handbrake is engaged, then it is determined whether the gear is in neutral; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not stationary.

[0014] If the gear position is in neutral, then it is determined whether the speed of the drive motor is 0; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not stationary.

[0021] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0022] When the vehicle goes from the off state to the ON state, the electric power steering pump is controlled to enter the original speed and maintained for a third preset time.

[0023] Secondly, this application also provides a noise reduction control device for an electric power steering pump, the device comprising:

[0050] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0051] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0053] This application provides a noise reduction control method, apparatus, computer device, and computer-readable storage medium for an electric power steering pump. The noise reduction control method for the electric power steering pump can be applied to a computer device, which may be a vehicle controller or an onboard computer.

[0054] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a noise reduction control method for an electric power steering pump, provided as an embodiment of this application.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S1 to S2.

[0057] Step S1: When the vehicle is in the ON position, determine whether the vehicle is stationary based on the vehicle speed, handbrake status, gear status, and drive motor operating status.

[0058] Step S2: After determining that the vehicle is stationary, control the electric power steering pump of the vehicle to reduce its speed.

[0059] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the vehicle controller determines whether the vehicle is in the ON position and receives vehicle signals including vehicle speed, handbrake status, gear status and drive motor operation status to determine whether the vehicle is stationary.

[0060] It is important to understand that in this embodiment, the electric power steering pump serves as the power source for the steering system. The electric power steering pump uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor to support the SVC (Speed ​​Controlled Variable Transmission) of the high-voltage controller. The electric power steering pump is connected to the high-voltage controller via power and signal lines. The high-voltage controller communicates with the vehicle's CAN network, receiving and executing commands from the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller receives ON (Power On) signals, vehicle speed signals, handbrake signals, neutral (Neutral) signals, and drive motor speed signals through the vehicle's CAN network. The high-voltage controller of the electric power steering pump directly controls its operating status, such as speed. After determining that the vehicle is stationary, the vehicle controller sends the target speed and corresponding speed adjustment time information to the high-voltage controller, enabling the high-voltage controller to control the electric power steering pump to reduce its speed. The vehicle's power steering system is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0061] Preferably, when the vehicle transitions from a powered-off state to a powered-on state, the vehicle controller controls the electric power steering pump to enter its initial speed and maintain it for a third preset time. In this embodiment, the initial speed of the electric power steering pump is 1500 r / min, and the third preset time is 5 seconds. When the vehicle controller receives the vehicle's "power-on" signal, it sends a control signal to the high-voltage controller of the electric power steering pump to enter its initial constant speed of 1500 r / min and maintain it for 5 seconds. This ensures that the high-voltage controller controls the electric power steering pump to enter its initial speed of 1500 r / min and maintain it for 5 seconds, preventing insufficient speed of the electric power steering pump in winter, which could lead to insufficient oil intake and inadequate steering power from the power steering system.

[0062] Furthermore, determining whether the vehicle is stationary based on its speed, handbrake status, gear position, and drive motor operating status includes: if the speed, handbrake status, gear position, and drive motor operating status are all in their corresponding preset states, then the vehicle is determined to be stationary; after determining that the vehicle is stationary, if the speed, handbrake status, gear position, and / or drive motor operating status are not in their corresponding preset states, then the vehicle is determined not to be stationary.

[0063] Exemplary, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the vehicle is powered on in the ON position, the vehicle controller receives the vehicle speed signal, handbrake status, gear status, and drive motor operating status. It then determines whether the vehicle speed is less than a preset speed. If so, it checks whether the handbrake is engaged; otherwise, it determines that the vehicle is not stationary. If the handbrake is engaged, it checks whether the gear is in neutral; otherwise, it determines that the vehicle is not stationary. If the gear is in neutral, it checks whether the drive motor speed is 0; otherwise, it determines that the vehicle is not stationary. If the drive motor speed is 0, it determines that the vehicle is stationary; otherwise, it determines that the vehicle is not stationary. In this embodiment, the preset vehicle speed is 1 km / h.

[0064] Furthermore, after determining that the vehicle is stationary, the rotational speed of the vehicle's electric power steering pump is controlled to decrease from its original speed to a noise-reduced speed within a first preset time. When the electric power steering pump is running at the noise-reduced speed, if the vehicle speed, handbrake status, gear position, and / or drive motor operating status are not in their corresponding preset states, the rotational speed of the vehicle's electric power steering pump is controlled to increase back to its original speed within a second preset time. The first preset time is longer than the second preset time. In this embodiment, the original rotational speed of the electric power steering pump is 1500 r / min, and the noise-reduced speed is 500 r / min. The first preset time is 2 seconds, and the second preset time is 0.5 seconds.

[0065] It's important to understand that when the vehicle speed is less than 1 km / h, the vehicle is stationary. When the handbrake is engaged, the gear is in neutral, and the drive motor speed is 0, it indicates the driver has no intention of driving. If any of these conditions are not met, it suggests the driver may intend to drive. This comprehensive assessment ensures accurate judgment of the vehicle's stationary state. Furthermore, after the electric power steering pump enters its noise-reduction speed, while the "ON" signal remains, the vehicle controller continues to determine the vehicle's stationary state based on speed, handbrake status, gear status, and drive motor speed. If the system determines the vehicle is not stationary, it controls the electric power steering pump to return to its initial speed within 0.5 seconds to prevent steering jamming and insufficient steering assistance due to excessively low pump speed during driving.

[0066] In a preferred real-time example, after receiving the ON signal from the receiving vehicle, the vehicle controller sends an initial constant speed of 1500 r / min to the high-voltage controller of the electric power steering pump for 5 seconds to prevent the power steering pump from not drawing in oil during winter. The high-voltage controller of the electric power steering pump receives the instruction from the vehicle controller and controls the electric power steering pump motor to enter the initial speed and maintain it for 5 seconds. The electric power steering pump executes the initial speed and maintains the corresponding time. After the previous step is completed, the vehicle controller receives the vehicle speed signal. When the vehicle speed is less than 1 km / h, it continues to identify the handbrake status signal. When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 1 km / h, it issues a command to control the electric power steering pump at 1500 rpm. If a handbrake engaged signal is received, it continues to identify the vehicle gear position signal. If no handbrake engaged signal is received, it issues a command to control the electric power steering pump at 1500 rpm. If a neutral position signal is received, it continues to identify the drive motor speed signal. If no neutral position signal is received, it issues a command to control the electric power steering pump at 1500 rpm. When the drive motor speed is 0, it issues a command to control the electric power steering pump to reduce its speed to 500 rpm. If the drive motor speed is greater than 0, it issues a command to control the electric power steering pump at 1500 rpm. This control strategy is executed every time the vehicle is powered on for the first time from the ON position. When the "ON position power on" signal is always present, the vehicle controller identifies the ON position power on signal, vehicle speed signal, handbrake signal, neutral signal, and drive motor speed signal according to the above strategy. If any of these signals changes or is lost, the vehicle controller sends a command to the high-voltage controller to control the electric power steering pump to a speed of 1500 r / min. If the electric power steering pump is currently executing the target speed of 500 r / min, in order to prevent steering jamming, the time required to increase the speed from 500 r / min to 1500 r / min is 0.5 seconds.

[0067] This embodiment provides a noise reduction control method for an electric power steering pump. When the vehicle is in the ON position (power-on), the method determines whether the vehicle is stationary based on its speed, handbrake status, gear position, and drive motor operating status. Once stationary is confirmed, the electric power steering pump's speed is reduced. This control strategy effectively identifies whether the vehicle is stationary, ensuring driving safety. By reducing the electric power steering pump's speed when the vehicle is stationary, energy consumption and noise are reduced, improving the driving experience and extending the pump's lifespan. When a steering request is detected, the pump responds quickly, operating at its maximum speed to provide sufficient steering assistance. Furthermore, this noise reduction control method eliminates the need for additional hardware, effectively saving on overall vehicle costs.

After determining that the vehicle is stationary, if the vehicle speed, the handbrake status, the gear status and / or the drive motor operating status are not in the corresponding preset status, then it is determined that the vehicle is not stationary. The determining module is further configured to: Determine whether the vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed. If so, continue to determine whether the handbrake is in the handbrake engaged state. Otherwise, determine that the vehicle is not stationary. If the handbrake is engaged, then it is determined whether the gear is in neutral; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not stationary. If the gear position is in neutral, then it is determined whether the speed of the drive motor is 0; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle is not stationary. If the drive motor speed is 0, the vehicle is determined to be stationary; otherwise, the vehicle is determined not to be stationary.
