[0101] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.
[0102] While steer-by-wire systems in related technologies eliminate mechanical connections compared to traditional steering systems, they cannot achieve steering intent when a malfunction occurs. Therefore, in one aspect of this disclosure, a steering system is provided.
[0103] Figure 1 These are schematic diagrams illustrating the structure of some embodiments of the steering system according to this disclosure, with reference to... Figure 1 The steering system includes: a steering wheel assembly, a wheel steering mechanism 2, a drive unit 3, an adjustment mechanism 4, and a processor 5. The user can input a target steering signal to the steering wheel assembly by turning it or performing other operations. The processor 5 is connected to the steering wheel assembly to receive this target steering signal. The processor 5 includes, but is not limited to, ECUs (Electronic Control Units) used in automobiles.
[0104] The steering wheel assembly includes a steering wheel 1 and a first drive shaft 11. A drive unit 3 is driven to the wheel steering device 2, and an adjustment device 4 is connected between the steering wheel assembly and the drive unit 3. The wheel steering device 2 includes a wheel 21 and a linkage mechanism 22. The drive unit 3 is connected to one end of the linkage mechanism 22, and the other end of the linkage mechanism 22 is connected to the wheel 21. During normal operation of the steering system, the drive unit 3 provides steering drive to the wheel steering device 2.
[0105] The processor 5 is signal-connected to the adjustment device 4, the steering wheel assembly, and the drive device 3. It is configured to drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn according to the target steering signal input by the steering wheel assembly, determine whether the drive device 3 has malfunctioned according to a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2, and when a malfunction is determined, to cause the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive device 3 so that the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2 tends to the target steering value.
[0106] The processor 5 can convert the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal input by the steering wheel assembly into a first parameter, and convert the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2 into a second parameter, so as to judge the operating status of the drive device 3. The faults of the drive device 3 include, but are not limited to, accuracy faults and failure faults. When the drive device 3 has an accuracy fault, there is an error between the target steering value and the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2. When the drive device 3 has a failure fault, it cannot drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn.
[0107] In this embodiment, when the drive device 3 malfunctions, torque can be supplied to the drive device 3 by the adjustment device 4. The user can adjust the drive device 3 accordingly by rotating the steering wheel assembly to adjust the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2. This can gradually correct the error between the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2 and the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 corresponding to the input target steering signal, ensuring the steering accuracy of the steering system and improving the reliability of the steering system.
[0108] In some embodiments, the processor 5 is configured to cause the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive device 3 via magnetic force when a precision fault is determined in the drive device 3. In this embodiment, the adjustment device 4 can provide torque to the drive device 3 in the form of magnetic force so as to adjust the magnitude and direction of the torque at any time.
[0109] Figure 2This is a schematic diagram of the adjustment device according to some embodiments of the steering system disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the steering wheel assembly includes a steering wheel 1 and a first drive shaft 11, which can be connected to the pivot of the steering wheel 1. The drive device 3 includes a second drive shaft 31, which can be connected to the output shaft of the drive device 3. The radial dimensions of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 can be set to be the same, and their axes coincide during installation.
[0110] The adjustment device 4 includes a first magnetic attraction device 41 and a second magnetic attraction device 42. The first magnetic attraction device 41 is disposed on the end face of the first drive shaft 11 near the drive device 3, and the second magnetic attraction device 42 is disposed on the end face of the second drive shaft 31 near the steering wheel assembly. The first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 at least partially overlap along the length direction of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31. The first magnetic attraction device 41 includes, but is not limited to, an electromagnetic coil, and the second magnetic attraction device 42 includes, but is not limited to, a magnet. The first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 can be fixed to the end faces of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 respectively by springs disposed on the end faces of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31.
[0111] The processor 5 is configured to, in the event of an accuracy failure, cause the first magnetic attraction device 41 to provide a magnetic attraction force perpendicular to the extension direction of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 to attract or repel the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby adjusting the rotational position of the wheel steering device 2. The processor 5 can supply current to the first magnetic attraction device 41 to generate magnetic force. The magnitude of the supplied current can be adjusted based on the error between the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal at the current moment and the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2. If the actual steering value is too small, the first magnetic attraction device 41 can attract the second magnetic attraction device 42; if the actual steering value is too large, an opposite current can be supplied to the first magnetic attraction device 41 to generate a repulsive force on the second magnetic attraction device 42.
[0112] In this embodiment, when the drive device 3 experiences a precision failure, the user can correct the drive device 3. The processor 5 causes the first magnetic attraction device 41 to pass current to generate magnetic force, and the user can then adjust the steering wheel 1 to drive the second transmission shaft 31 to rotate accordingly, thereby moving the steering position of the wheel steering device 2, correcting the steering error caused by the precision failure of the drive device 3, and ensuring the steering accuracy of the steering system.
[0113] refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the adjustment device 4 includes a plurality of first magnetic attraction devices 41, which are spaced apart along the end face of the first drive shaft 11. The adjustment device 4 also includes a plurality of second magnetic attraction devices 42, which are spaced apart along the end face of the second drive shaft 31. The first magnetic attraction devices 41 and the second magnetic attraction devices 42 are staggered.
[0114] In this embodiment, the adjustment device may be provided with multiple first magnetic attraction devices 41 and multiple second magnetic attraction devices 42. The first magnetic attraction devices 41 and the second magnetic attraction devices 42 are arranged adjacent to each other to generate a larger magnetic force when current is applied, so that the correction operation of accuracy faults is more efficient and more sensitive.
[0115] In some embodiments, the processor 5 is further configured to: determine whether the drive unit 3 has failed based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the steering device 2, and when a failure is determined, cause the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive unit 3 so that the steering wheel assembly and the wheel steering device 2 are connected in transmission.
[0116] In this embodiment, it is also possible to further determine whether the drive device 3 has failed. When the drive device 3 fails, the adjustment device 4 further provides the drive device 3 with the torque that enables the steering wheel assembly and the wheel steering device 2 to be connected, so that the user can turn the wheel steering device 2 by rotating the steering wheel 1. This allows for rapid emergency response when the drive device 3 fails, thereby improving driving and passenger safety.
[0117] In some embodiments, the processor 5 is further configured to, upon determining that the drive unit 3 has failed, connect the steering wheel assembly and the drive unit 3 via the adjustment device 4, so as to drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn via the steering wheel assembly. In this embodiment, when the drive unit 3 fails, the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 are connected via the adjustment device 4, so as to drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn via the steering wheel assembly.
[0118] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the adjustment device according to other embodiments of the steering system of this disclosure, with reference to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the adjusting device 4 further includes: a first pusher 43, a first hydraulic circuit 44, a second pusher 45, and a second hydraulic circuit 46. The first pusher 43 and the first hydraulic circuit 44 are disposed on one side of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31, and the second pusher 45 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 are disposed on the other side of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 relative to the first pusher 43 and the first hydraulic circuit 44.
[0119] The first hydraulic circuit 44 includes a first hydraulic clamp 71, a first piston 72, a first outlet solenoid valve 73, a first inlet solenoid valve 74, and a first hydraulic chamber 75. The second hydraulic circuit 46 includes a second hydraulic clamp 81, a second piston 82, a second outlet solenoid valve 83, a second inlet solenoid valve 84, and a second hydraulic chamber 85. When the processor 5 is activated, the first inlet solenoid valve 74 and the second inlet solenoid valve 84 are opened, and hydraulic fluid enters the first hydraulic chamber 75 and the second hydraulic chamber 85 respectively, thereby pushing the first piston 72 and the second piston 82 to move.
[0120] The first pusher 43 is disposed on one side of the first magnetic attraction device 41, and the first hydraulic circuit 44 is connected to the first pusher 43 and configured to drive the first pusher 43 to move. The second pusher 45 is disposed on one side of the second magnetic attraction device 42, and the second hydraulic circuit 46 is connected to the second pusher 45 and configured to drive the second pusher 45 to move. When the drive device 3 is not in the failure working mode, pressure can be quickly released by opening the first oil outlet solenoid valve 73 and the second oil outlet solenoid valve 83 to exit the failure working mode.
[0121] The processor 5 is signal-connected to both the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46, and is configured to adjust the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 so that the first pusher 43 and the second pusher 45 respectively push the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby pressing the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 tightly together.
[0122] When the drive device 3 fails, based on the first pusher 43 and the second pusher 45 pushing the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 respectively, current can be supplied to the first magnetic attraction device 41, so that the first magnetic attraction device 41 generates a magnetic attraction force on the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby accelerating the relative movement of the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42, so that the wheel steering device 2 can respond to the torque transmitted by the steering wheel assembly more quickly.
[0123] In this embodiment, the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 can be equipped with solenoid valves respectively. When the drive device 3 fails, the processor 5 causes the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 to receive oil respectively, thereby driving the first pusher 43 to push the first magnetic attraction device 41 toward the second magnetic attraction device 42, and driving the second pusher 45 to push the second magnetic attraction device 42 toward the first magnetic attraction device 41 to overcome the preload of the spring, so that the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 approach each other until they are connected as one. At this time, the steering wheel assembly and the drive device 3 are mechanically connected, and the steering system switches from steer-by-wire to mechanical steering. The steering wheel assembly can directly transmit torque to the wheel steering device 2 so that the steering angle of the steering wheel assembly can be transmitted to the drive device 3 through the adjustment device 4 and then to the wheel steering device 2 to achieve emergency steering in case of failure.
[0124] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the steering system further includes a first sensor 61 and a second sensor 62. The first sensor 61 is connected to the first drive shaft 11 and is configured to detect the target steering signal received by the steering wheel assembly. The second sensor 62 is connected to the drive unit 3 and is configured to detect the actual displacement signal of the drive unit 3. The processor 5 is signal-connected to the first sensor (61) and the second sensor 62 and is configured to convert the target steering value of the steering unit 2 corresponding to the target steering signal detected by the first sensor 61 into the target displacement value of the drive unit 3, and to convert the actual displacement signal detected by the second sensor 62 into the corresponding actual displacement value of the drive unit 3.
[0125] In this embodiment, a first sensor 61 is installed on the first drive shaft 11 to collect the target steering signal input through the steering wheel assembly, and the processor 5 converts it into the target displacement value of the drive device 3, and converts the actual displacement signal detected by the second sensor into the actual displacement value of the drive device 3, so as to determine the fault of the drive device 3.
[0126] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the drive device 3 includes a motor 32 and a rack 34. The output end of the motor 32 has a gear shaft 33 connected to a second transmission shaft 31. The rack 34 meshes with the gear shaft 33, and both ends of the rack 34 are connected to the wheel steering device 2. The motor 32 drives the gear shaft 33 to rotate, causing the rack 34 to translate in a specified direction, thereby steering the wheel steering device 2. A second sensor 62 is connected to the rack 34 and configured to detect the actual displacement value of the rack 34.
[0127] The processor 5 is configured to convert the target steering value of the steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal detected by the first sensor 61 into the target displacement value of the rack 34 as a first parameter, and the actual displacement value of the rack 34 as a second parameter.
[0128] In this embodiment, the target displacement value of the rack 34 can be used as the first parameter, and the actual displacement value of the rack 34 can be used as the second parameter, so as to calculate and judge the fault condition of the motor 32 more efficiently and intuitively.

[0133] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of some embodiments of the control method for the steering system according to this disclosure, with reference to... Figures 1-4 In another aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a control method for a steering system as described above is provided. In some embodiments, an aspect provides a control method for a steering system including steps S1 to S4.
[0134] In step S1, the target steering signal input by the steering wheel assembly causes the drive unit 3 to drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn.
[0135] In step S2, the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2 is determined.
[0136] In step S3, it is determined whether the drive device 3 has malfunctioned based on a first parameter that corresponds to the target steering signal and is used to characterize the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 and a second parameter that is used to characterize the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2.
[0137] In step S4, when a fault is determined to have occurred, the adjusting device 4 provides torque to the drive device 3 so that the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2 tends to the target steering value.
[0138] In this embodiment, when the drive device 3 malfunctions, the adjustment device 4 provides torque to the drive device 3. The user can rotate the steering wheel assembly to drive the drive device 3 to adjust the rotation position of the wheel steering device 2, thereby gradually correcting the error between the actual steering value and the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2, ensuring the steering accuracy of the steering system and improving the reliability of the steering system.
[0139] In some embodiments, when a precision failure is determined in the drive device 3, the adjustment device 4 provides torque to the drive device 3 via magnetic force. In this embodiment, the adjustment device 4 can provide torque to the drive device 3 via magnetic force to adjust the magnitude and direction of the torque at any time.
[0140] In some embodiments, the steering wheel assembly includes a first drive shaft 11, and the drive unit 3 includes a second drive shaft 31. The adjustment device 4 includes a first magnetic attraction device 41 and a second magnetic attraction device 42. The first magnetic attraction device 41 is disposed on the end face of the first drive shaft 11 near the end of the drive unit 3, and the second magnetic attraction device 42 is disposed on the end face of the second drive shaft 31 near the end of the steering wheel assembly.
[0141] When a malfunction is detected, the operation of the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive device 3 by magnetic force specifically includes: the first magnetic attraction device 41 providing a magnetic attraction force perpendicular to the extension direction of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 to attract or repel the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby adjusting the rotation position of the wheel steering device 2.
[0142] A current can be passed through the first magnetic attraction device 41 to generate magnetic force. The magnitude of the current can be adjusted according to the error between the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal at the current moment and the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2. When the actual steering value is too small, the first magnetic attraction device 41 can attract the second magnetic attraction device 42. When the actual steering value is too large, an opposite current can be passed through the first magnetic attraction device 41 to generate a repulsive force on the second magnetic attraction device 42.
[0143] In this embodiment, when the drive device 3 experiences a precision failure, the user can correct the drive device 3 and apply current to the first magnetic attraction device 41 to generate magnetic force. The user can then adjust the steering wheel 1 to drive the second transmission shaft 31 to rotate accordingly, thereby moving the steering position of the wheel steering device 2, correcting the steering error caused by the precision failure of the drive device 3, and ensuring the steering accuracy of the steering system.
[0144] In some embodiments, the control method for the steering system further includes: determining whether the drive unit 3 has failed based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the wheel steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the wheel steering device 2; and when a failure is determined, causing the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive unit 3 so that the steering wheel assembly and the wheel steering device 2 are connected in transmission.
[0145] In this embodiment, it is also possible to further determine whether the drive device 3 has failed. When the drive device 3 fails, the adjustment device 4 further provides the drive device 3 with the torque that enables the steering wheel assembly and the wheel steering device 2 to be connected, so that the user can turn the wheel steering device 2 by rotating the steering wheel 1. This allows for rapid emergency response when the drive device 3 fails, thereby improving driving and passenger safety.
[0146] In some embodiments, the operation of drivingly connecting the steering wheel assembly and the wheel steering device 2 specifically includes: connecting the steering wheel assembly and the drive device 3 by means of the adjusting device 4 so as to provide torque to the wheel steering device 2 through the steering wheel assembly to drive the wheel steering device 2 to turn.
[0147] In this embodiment, when the drive device 3 fails, the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 are connected by the adjustment device 4 so that the wheel steering device 2 can be driven to turn by the steering wheel assembly.
[0148] In some embodiments, the adjusting device 4 further includes: a first pusher 43, a first hydraulic circuit 44, a second pusher 45, and a second hydraulic circuit 46. The first pusher 43 and the first hydraulic circuit 44 are disposed on one side of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31, and the second pusher 45 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 are disposed on the other side of the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 31 relative to the first pusher 43 and the first hydraulic circuit 44.
[0149] The operation of the adjustment device 4 to provide torque to the drive device 3 when failure is determined specifically includes: adjusting the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 so that the first pusher 43 and the second pusher 45 respectively push the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby pressing the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 tightly together.
[0150] When the drive device 3 fails, based on the first pusher 43 and the second pusher 45 pushing the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 respectively, current can be supplied to the first magnetic attraction device 41, so that the first magnetic attraction device 41 generates a magnetic attraction force on the second magnetic attraction device 42, thereby accelerating the relative movement of the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42, so that the wheel steering device 2 can respond to the torque transmitted by the steering wheel assembly more quickly.
[0151] In this embodiment, the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 can be equipped with solenoid valves respectively. When the drive device 3 fails, the first hydraulic circuit 44 and the second hydraulic circuit 46 are respectively supplied with oil, thereby driving the first pusher 43 to push the first magnetic attraction device 41 towards the second magnetic attraction device 42, and driving the second pusher 45 to push the second magnetic attraction device 42 towards the first magnetic attraction device 41 to overcome the preload of the spring, so that the first magnetic attraction device 41 and the second magnetic attraction device 42 are close to each other until they are connected as one. At this time, the steering wheel assembly and the drive device 3 are mechanically connected, and the steering system switches from steer-by-wire to mechanical steering. The steering wheel assembly can directly transmit torque to the wheel steering device 2 so that the steering angle of the steering wheel assembly is transmitted to the drive device 3 through the adjustment device 4 and then to the wheel steering device 2 to achieve emergency steering in case of failure.
[0152] In some embodiments, the steering system further includes a first sensor 61 and a second sensor 62. The first sensor 61 is connected to the first drive shaft 11 and is configured to detect a target steering signal received by the steering wheel assembly. The second sensor 62 is connected to the drive unit 3 and is configured to detect the actual displacement signal of the drive unit 3.
[0153] The operation of determining whether the drive device 3 has malfunctioned based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the steering device 2 specifically includes: converting the target steering value of the steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal detected by the first sensor 61 into the target displacement value of the drive device 3, and converting the actual displacement signal detected by the second sensor 62 into the corresponding actual displacement value of the drive device 3.
[0154] In this embodiment, a first sensor 61 is installed on the first drive shaft 11 to collect the target steering signal input through the steering wheel assembly and convert it into the target displacement value of the drive device 3. The actual displacement signal detected by the second sensor is also converted into the actual displacement value of the drive device 3 so as to determine the fault of the drive device 3.

The rack 34 meshes with the gear shaft 33, and both ends of the rack 34 are connected to the wheel steering device 2. The motor 32 drives the gear shaft 33 to rotate, causing the rack 34 to translate in a specified direction, thereby steering the wheel steering device 2. A second sensor 62 is connected to the rack 34 and configured to detect the actual displacement value of the rack 34.
[0156] The operation of determining whether the drive unit 3 has malfunctioned based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the steering device 2, and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the steering device 2, specifically includes:
[0157] The target steering value of the steering device 2 corresponding to the target steering signal detected by the first sensor 61 is converted into the target displacement value of the rack 34 as the first parameter, and the actual displacement value of the rack 34 is used as the second parameter.
[0158] In this embodiment, the target displacement value of the rack 34 can be used as the first parameter, and the actual displacement value of the rack 34 can be used as the second parameter, so as to calculate and judge the fault condition of the motor 32 more efficiently and intuitively.
[0159] In some embodiments, the operation of determining whether the drive unit 3 has malfunctioned based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the steering device 2 specifically includes:
[0160] when This determines that the drive unit 3 has a precision fault; where l(t) is the second parameter at time t. Let T1 be the first parameter at time t, and T1 be the accuracy fault threshold of motor 32.
[0161] In this embodiment, the first and second parameters at the current moment are calculated, and the calculated structure is compared with the accuracy fault threshold of the motor 32 to determine the accuracy fault of the motor 32, thereby more accurately judging the fault condition of the motor 32.
[0162] In some embodiments, the operation of determining whether the drive unit 3 has malfunctioned based on a first parameter corresponding to the target steering signal and used to characterize the target steering value of the steering device 2 and a second parameter used to characterize the actual steering value of the steering device 2 further includes:
