Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile steer-by-wire technology, and more particularly to a method for selecting a proportional coefficient for a variable angular transmission ratio. Background Art

[0002] Variable angular transmission ratio is one of the key technologies for fully leveraging the performance advantages of steer-by-wire. Currently, the mainstream approach to designing the variable angular transmission ratio is to combine a constant yaw rate gain and a constant lateral acceleration gain. The core issue of this approach is determining the proportional coefficient between the two gains. However, in existing technologies, the determination of the proportional coefficient is primarily based on empirically fitting a curve that correlates the proportional coefficient with vehicle speed. There is no specific method for obtaining a mathematical equation for this relationship, resulting in considerable arbitrariness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for selecting a proportional coefficient for a variable angular transmission ratio, which can select the proportional coefficient according to different vehicle speed ranges while taking into account the steering sensitivity and handling stability of the vehicle.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is to construct a method for selecting a proportional coefficient for a variable angular transmission ratio, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1. Design the variable angle transmission ratio in sections, defining 0-30 km / h as the low speed section, 30-70 km / h as the medium-low speed section, 70-120 km / h as the medium-high speed section, and greater than 120 km / h as the high speed section;

[0006] S2. Establish quantitative evaluation criteria for steering sensitivity and handling stability;

[0007] In the low and medium speed range, steering sensitivity is given priority. The yaw rate gain and yaw rate overshoot under steering wheel angle step input can both reflect the steering sensitivity of the vehicle. The quantitative evaluation standard J1 of steering sensitivity is obtained by weighting the yaw rate gain and yaw rate overshoot.

[0008] Prioritize handling stability in the medium and high speed range. Yaw rate, lateral acceleration, and sideslip angle values ​​can all reflect the vehicle's handling stability. A quantitative evaluation criterion for handling stability, J2, is derived by weighting these three factors.

[0009] S3, obtaining the optimal proportional coefficient;

[0010] In the low and medium speed range, the transient response of the vehicle under the steering wheel input is an important part of evaluating the steering sensitivity. Different proportional coefficients p and vehicle speeds u are selected to conduct steering wheel angle step tests, and the values ​​of J1 are compared. The proportional coefficient with the maximum J1 value at each vehicle speed is taken as the optimal proportional coefficient.

[0011] At medium and high speeds, the transient response of a vehicle under double lane change conditions is an important basis for evaluating handling stability. Double lane change tests were conducted using different proportional coefficients p and vehicle speeds u. The J2 values ​​were compared, and the optimal proportional coefficient was determined to be the one with the minimum J2 value at each vehicle speed.

[0012] S4. Establish a quantitative relationship expression between the vehicle speed u and the optimal proportional coefficient p through a fitting method.

[0013] According to the above scheme, in step S2, the method for establishing the quantitative evaluation standard J1 of steering sensitivity in the medium and low speed range is:

[0014] The steering sensitivity is evaluated by combining the yaw rate gain k and the yaw rate overshoot σ under the steering wheel step input. The expression is:

[0015]

[0016] Where a1 and a2 are the proportional coefficients of k and σ respectively.

[0017] According to the above scheme, in step S2, the method for establishing the quantitative evaluation standard J2 of handling stability in the medium and high speed range is:

[0018] The vehicle's yaw rate w r , lateral acceleration a y The control stability is evaluated by combining the center of mass side slip angle β and the control stability, and the expression is:

[0019]

[0020] Where k1, k2, and k3 are w r 、a y , the proportional coefficient of β.

[0021] According to the above scheme, step S3 includes the following steps:

[0022] S3.1. Obtain the optimal proportionality coefficient p at different vehicle speeds in the medium and low speed ranges; conduct steering wheel angle step tests at each selected vehicle speed, and obtain quantitative evaluation standard values ​​for the vehicle's steering sensitivity at different vehicle speeds corresponding to the different proportionality coefficients;

[0023] S3.2. Obtain the optimal proportionality coefficient p at different vehicle speeds in the medium and high speed range; conduct double lane change tests at the selected different speeds, and obtain quantitative evaluation standard values ​​for the vehicle's handling stability at different vehicle speeds corresponding to the different proportionality coefficients.

[0024] According to the above scheme, step S4 includes the following steps:

[0025] S4.1. Establish a relationship between the optimal proportional coefficient p and vehicle speed u in the medium and low speed range. By fitting the nine sets of data obtained in step S3.1, the optimal proportional coefficient p at each vehicle speed in the medium and low speed range is obtained:

[0026] p=f1(u) (3)

[0027] Where u is the vehicle speed, f1(u) is the multi-term function to be fitted;

[0028] S4.2. Establish a relationship between the optimal proportional coefficient p and vehicle speed u in the medium- and high-speed range. By fitting the 11 sets of data obtained in step S3.2, the optimal proportional coefficient p at each vehicle speed in the medium- and high-speed range is obtained:

[0029] p=f2(u) (4)

[0030] Where u is the vehicle speed, and f2(u) is the multi-term function to be fitted.

[0031] The method for selecting a proportional coefficient for a variable angular transmission ratio according to the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The present invention adjusts the angular transmission ratio by designing a proportional coefficient in different vehicle speed ranges, thereby achieving steering sensitivity as the main focus at medium and low vehicle speeds and handling stability as the main focus at medium and high vehicle speeds, taking into account both the ease of operation and safety of the driver.

[0042] In the medium and low speed range, the transient response of the vehicle under steering wheel input is an important part of evaluating steering sensitivity. Therefore, different proportional coefficients p and vehicle speeds u are selected to carry out steering wheel angle step tests, and the values ​​of J1 are compared. The proportional coefficient with the maximum J1 value at each vehicle speed is taken as the optimal proportional coefficient.
