The membership function corresponding to each fuzzy subset is expressed as shown in the following formula (3):

[0084]

[0085] Among them, λ a is the weighted slip rate.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, the load deviation of each wheel is calculated based on the vertical load of the wheel, and the load deviation is fuzzified to obtain load deviation fuzzy data, including but not limited to:

[0087] The corresponding vertical static load of the wheel is calculated according to a preset road condition, wherein the preset road condition includes a flat road surface, an uphill road surface, and a downhill road surface.

[0088] The load deviation of each wheel is calculated based on the wheel vertical load and the wheel vertical static load.

[0089] The load deviation is fuzzified by the Gaussian membership function to obtain the load deviation fuzzy data.

[0090] In this specific embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention analyzes the vertical load deviation of each wheel based on the acquired wheel vertical load and fuzzifies the load deviation to obtain load deviation fuzzy data. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention first calculates the corresponding wheel vertical load based on the preset road condition. Accordingly, according to different road conditions, the embodiment of the present invention can be divided into flat road surface, uphill road surface, and downhill road surface. The corresponding wheel vertical static loads are shown in the following equations (4), (5), and (6), respectively:

[0091]

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] Among them, formula (4) is the vertical static load of the wheel corresponding to the flat road surface, formula (5) is the vertical static load of the wheel corresponding to the uphill road surface, and formula (6) is the vertical static load of the wheel corresponding to the downhill road surface. In the formula, L is the wheelbase length of the amphibious equipment, a and b are the distances from the center of mass to the front and rear axles, and h is the distance from the center of mass to the front and rear axles, respectively. g is the height of the center of mass, θ is the road slope angle, It is the normal force generated by the weight of the amphibious vehicle distributed to the front and rear axles.

[0095] Next, the embodiment of the present invention calculates the load deviation of each wheel based on the wheel vertical load and the wheel vertical static load. Specifically, the load distribution of each wheel of the amphibious vehicle in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in the following formula (7):

[0096]

[0097] Among them, the dynamic load component in the pitching state is expressed as follows (8):

[0098]

[0099] The dynamic load component of the front axle roll state is expressed as follows (9):

[0100] ΔF r_f =m·g·sinφ·h g ·L r / L·B (9)

[0101] The dynamic load component of the rear axle roll state is expressed as follows (10):

[0103] Among them, is the pitch angle of amphibious equipment, φ is the roll angle, h g is the height of the center of mass, F z_fl 、F z_fr 、F z_rl With F z_rr are the vertical loads of each wheel, L f , L r are the distances between the front axle and the rear axle and the center of mass, and L is the vehicle wheelbase.

[0104] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention obtains the vertical load of each wheel and the vertical force of the corresponding static axle load under the corresponding preset road condition, and calculates the deviation degree of the vertical load of each wheel, that is, the load deviation, as shown in the following formula (11):

[0105]

[0106] Among them, D fl 、D fr 、D rl 、D rr are the vertical load deviation degrees of the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel and right rear wheel of the amphibious vehicle, that is, the load deviation, F Z_fl 、F Z_fr、F z_rl 、F z_rr They are the real-time vertical loads on the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel and right rear wheel of the amphibious vehicle.

[0107] Next, the embodiment of the present invention fuzzifies the load deviation using a Gaussian membership function to obtain load deviation fuzzy data. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention selects a Gaussian membership function to fuzzify the load deviation based on the deviation degree of each wheel vertical load obtained after calculation, that is, the load deviation.

[0115] In this specific embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention first obtains the ground clearance height of each wheel of the amphibious vehicle through a preset height sensor. Specifically, the preset height sensor in the embodiment of the present invention can be a wheel ground clearance height sensor, such as a distance sensor. The embodiment of the present invention uses the wheel ground clearance height sensor to detect the ground clearance height of each wheel of the amphibious vehicle in real time. Then, the embodiment of the present invention normalizes the obtained ground clearance height of each wheel to obtain normalized data. The embodiment of the present invention normalizes the ground clearance height of each wheel so that the corresponding data is limited to a preset range, such as [0,1] or [-1,1], thereby alleviating the influence of singular sample data and alleviating the dimensional influence between indicators. Further, the embodiment of the present invention analyzes the normalized data to obtain the wheel suspension rate. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention compares and analyzes the normalized data obtained by the normalization process with the corresponding reference degree to determine whether each wheel is in a suspended state. Among them, the wheel suspension rate calculation formula in the embodiment of the present invention is shown in the following formula (13):

[0116]

[0117] Among them, Spin i For the suspended wheel mark, Count spin_i is the number of suspended wheels.

[0118] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the amphibious vehicle is traveling on a bumpy road and two wheels are suspended in the air, the Spin p 0.5, Spin when single wheel is suspended p 0.25, four-wheel contact state Spin p is 0. Next, the embodiment of the present invention fuzzifies the wheel suspension rate using a Gaussian membership function to obtain suspension rate fuzzy data. Specifically, the corresponding fuzzy subsets in the embodiment of the present invention are {Z, S, B}, which are zero, positive small, and positive large, respectively, and the domain is [0, 0.5]. The correspondence between the wheel suspension rate and the fuzzy subsets is as follows: when the amphibious vehicle is in a four-wheel grounded state, the fuzzy subset is Z; when the amphibious vehicle is in a single-wheel suspended state, the corresponding fuzzy subset is S; when the amphibious vehicle is in a two-wheel suspended state, the corresponding fuzzy subset is B.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, the amphibious vehicle is controlled and adjusted according to the wheel stuck state by using preset fuzzy control rules, including but not limited to:

[0120] Obtain tire pressure data detected by the tire pressure sensor and suspension height data detected by the suspension height sensor.

[0121] The dynamic model of the amphibious vehicle is constructed based on tire pressure data and suspension height data.

[0122] The force analysis is carried out according to the amphibious vehicle dynamics model and the force analysis results are obtained.

[0123] Based on the force analysis results, preset fuzzy control rules are used to determine the tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension height adjustment parameters corresponding to the wheel stuck state. The wheel stuck state includes a single wheel stuck in the air, two wheels on the same side stuck in the air, and two wheels on opposite sides stuck in the air.

[0124] The amphibious vehicle is preset and controlled according to the tire pressure adjustment parameters and the suspension height adjustment parameters.

[0125] In this specific embodiment, the present invention first obtains tire pressure data detected by a tire pressure sensor and suspension height data detected by a suspension height sensor, and constructs a dynamic model of the amphibious vehicle based on the tire pressure and suspension height data. Next, the present invention performs a force analysis based on the amphibious vehicle dynamic model to obtain corresponding force analysis results. Based on the force analysis results, the present invention uses preset fuzzy control rules to determine tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension height adjustment parameters corresponding to the wheel trapped state. The amphibious vehicle is then controlled and adjusted based on the tire pressure and suspension height adjustment parameters to quickly escape from a trapped state. Specifically, when the amphibious vehicle's wheel airborne ratio, wheel slip ratio, and wheel vertical load deviation distribution determine that the amphibious vehicle is unable to escape from a trapped state, the present invention first determines the wheel trapped state of the amphibious vehicle through fuzzy recognition based on the slip ratio fuzzy data, load deviation fuzzy data, and airborne ratio fuzzy data. Accordingly, the wheel trapped states in the present embodiment include a single wheel trapped state, two wheels trapped on the same side, and two wheels trapped on opposite sides. Among them, in the embodiment of the present invention, the single-wheel stuck in the air state refers to a state in which a tire of the amphibious vehicle is stuck in the air and the other drive wheels slip, resulting in the amphibious vehicle being unable to escape; the same-side double-wheel stuck in the air state refers to a state in which the double wheels on the same side of the amphibious vehicle are stuck in the air and the other drive wheels slip, resulting in the amphibious vehicle being unable to escape; the opposite-side double-wheel stuck in the air state refers to a state in which the double wheels on the opposite side of the amphibious vehicle are stuck in the air and the other drive wheels slip, resulting in the amphibious vehicle being unable to escape. When it is determined that the amphibious vehicle is in a stuck state, the embodiment of the present invention first detects the tire pressure data of the amphibious vehicle in real time through a tire pressure sensor, and obtains the suspension height data of the amphibious vehicle in real time through a suspension height sensor. At the same time, the embodiment of the present invention constructs an amphibious vehicle dynamics model based on the obtained tire pressure data and suspension height data, and performs force analysis on the amphibious vehicle through the amphibious vehicle dynamics model to obtain corresponding force analysis results. For example, the amphibious vehicle dynamics model constructed in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Among them, Figure 4 Medium v x 、v y represents the longitudinal speed and lateral speed of the vehicle; γ is the vehicle yaw rate; δ is the front wheel steering angle; β is the sideslip angle of the center of mass; L F , L R Represents the distance from the vehicle's center of mass to the front axle and rear axle respectively; B F 、B R Respectively represent the front and rear axle track; F xij 、F yij(ij = FL, FR, RL, RR) represents the longitudinal and lateral forces acting on the four front, rear, left, and right tires. Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention determines the tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension height adjustment parameters under the current operating conditions based on the force analysis results combined with preset fuzzy control rules, that is, determines the tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension height adjustment parameters corresponding to the current wheel stuck state. Next, the embodiment of the present invention performs preset control adjustments on the amphibious vehicle using the determined tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension height adjustment parameters, thereby achieving a smooth and rapid escape from distress for the amphibious vehicle and effectively improving the vehicle's ability to pass when the tires are stuck.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present invention, preset control adjustments are performed on the amphibious vehicle based on tire pressure adjustment parameters and suspension adjustment parameters, including but not limited to:

[0127] A tire pressure control instruction is sent to the tire pressure control module of the amphibious vehicle according to the tire pressure adjustment parameter. The tire pressure control module controls the working mode of the tire automatic inflation and deflation module according to the tire pressure control instruction.

[0128] Adjust the front and rear suspension height difference of the amphibious vehicle according to the suspension adjustment parameters.

[0129] In this specific embodiment, the present invention first issues a tire pressure control command to the tire pressure control module of an amphibious vehicle based on tire pressure adjustment parameters. The height difference between the front and rear suspensions of the amphibious vehicle is then adjusted based on suspension adjustments. Specifically, the tire pressure control module in this embodiment controls the operating mode of the tire automatic inflation / deflation module based on the tire pressure control command. The tire pressure control module in this embodiment includes a tire pressure monitoring sensor, an air intake, an inflation unit, and an air outlet. Accordingly, the tire pressure monitoring sensor in this embodiment is located on the inner wall of the tire, and the inflation unit is mounted on the inner outer wall of the tire. Furthermore, both the air outlet and air intake are located on the inner outer wall of the tire, and the air intake is connected to the inflation unit and the air outlet. This embodiment controls the automatic tire inflation / deflation mode based on the tire pressure control command, thereby adjusting the tire pressure to the desired pressure under the corresponding operating conditions. This allows the amphibious vehicle to reduce the air pressure in the uninvolved tire when a wheel sinks into the ground, thereby improving the grip of the uninvolved wheel and increasing the utilization of the road adhesion coefficient. It is easy to understand that in the embodiment of the present invention, the air pressure of the tire that is not trapped is reduced to achieve the effect of properly improving the adhesion coefficient, and by changing the height difference between the front and rear suspensions, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , so that the front axle or rear axle of the amphibious vehicle obtains additional gravity component, thereby increasing the normal reaction force of the untrapped driving wheel, and increasing the vertical load while improving the adhesion coefficient to achieve the purpose of improving the driving force of the untrapped tire. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the equation, a and b are the distances from the center of mass of the vehicle to the front and rear axles, respectively; L is the wheelbase of the vehicle; G is the gravity of the vehicle; and ψ is the pitch angle of the vehicle body.

According to the formulated fuzzy rules, the instruction sets {L1, L2, R1, R2, S1, S2, D1, D2, U1, U2} for the four tire pressure control under different working conditions are obtained, and the corresponding control methods are as follows: the L1 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the right side of the front axle, the left side of the rear axle and the right side of the rear axle; the L2 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left side of the front axle, the right side of the front axle and the right side of the rear axle; the R1 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left side of the front axle, the left side of the rear axle and the right side of the rear axle; the R2 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left side of the front axle, the left side of the rear axle and the left side of the rear axle; the S1 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the front and right side of the rear axle; the S2 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the front and left side of the rear axle; the D1 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the right side of the front axle and the left side of the rear axle; the D2 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left side of the front axle and the right side of the rear axle; the U1 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left and right sides of the rear axle; the U2 instruction is to reduce the tire pressure of the left and right sides of the front axle.

[0134] Accordingly, an embodiment of the present invention designs active air suspension height adjustment control instructions.

[0135] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention constructs corresponding fuzzy rules based on the constructed tire pressure control instructions and suspension height adjustment instructions to obtain preset fuzzy control rules. Specifically, the preset fuzzy control rules constructed in the embodiment of the present invention define multiple conditional statements, providing the core logic for the specific application conditions of fuzzy control. They list multiple rules that meet practical requirements and complete the establishment of an inference model based on typical operating conditions.
