Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building structure evaluation, and in particular to a vehicle EPS mid-position self-learning method, system, storage medium and computer. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the update iteration of technology, in the automobile industry, EPS has gradually replaced the traditional hydraulic steering system to become a standard configuration due to the advantages of providing a comfortable feel and supporting more automatic driving auxiliary functions.

[0003] When a new vehicle equipped with EPS is off the line, the steering wheel angle mid-position needs to be calibrated. One of the functions of the mid-position calibration is to provide a reference for the EPS active return. However, the steering wheel angle mid-position calibration is done in a static condition, and the EPS mid-position calibration may not completely coincide with the actual straight-line driving mid-position. During driving, the vehicle may have a deviation problem. Secondly, as the mileage of the vehicle increases, related parts may wear out, such as tire wear. During driving, the vehicle may have a deviation problem. In addition, when the front suspension key parts of the vehicle are repaired and the four-wheel alignment is performed again, without a steering wheel mid-position calibration tool, the steering wheel angle mid-position calibration may not coincide with the driving mid-position, and during driving, the vehicle may have a deviation problem. SUMMARY

[0050] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present application is shown in several embodiments in the drawings. However, the present application can be realized in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present application is more thorough and complete.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the present application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0052] Embodiment One

[0053] Referring to Figure 1 , a vehicle EPS neutral self-learning method in a first embodiment of the present application is shown, which specifically includes steps S101 to S106:

[0054] S101, obtaining steering wheel information of a vehicle when the vehicle is running, and determining whether a driver is in a steering state based on the steering wheel information;

[0055] Further, referring to Figure 2 , the step S101 specifically includes steps S1011-S1013:

[0056] S1011, obtaining steering wheel angle data of the vehicle when the vehicle is running, and comparing the steering wheel angle data with a preset angle threshold;

[0057] S1012, if the steering wheel angle data is within the preset angle threshold and the steering wheel angle data is not zero, obtaining steering wheel torque of the vehicle, and comparing the steering wheel torque with a preset steering wheel torque threshold;

[0058] S1013, if the steering wheel torque is within the preset steering wheel torque threshold, it is determined that the driver has no steering intention.

[0059] In a specific implementation, the steering wheel is connected to an electric power steering assembly through a steering column, wherein an angle sensor and a torque sensor are arranged in the electric power steering assembly, the steering wheel angle data of the vehicle during driving is obtained by using the angle sensor, the steering wheel angle data is compared with a preset angle threshold (in this embodiment, the preset angle threshold is -15°-15°, and in other optional embodiments, the preset angle threshold can also be set by the user or automatically generated by the system), if the steering wheel angle data is within the preset angle threshold and is not zero, the steering wheel torque of the vehicle is obtained by using the torque sensor, the steering wheel torque is compared with a preset steering wheel torque threshold (in this embodiment, the preset steering wheel torque threshold is -1Nm-1Nm, and in other optional embodiments, the preset steering wheel torque threshold can also be set by the user or automatically generated by the system), if the steering wheel torque is within the preset steering wheel torque threshold, it is determined that the driver has no steering intention.

[0060] S102, if the driver has no steering intention and the duration exceeds a first threshold, the output torque of the EPS motor of the vehicle is obtained, and the output torque is compared with a preset output torque threshold;

[0061] In a specific implementation, if the driver has no steering intention and the duration exceeds a first threshold (in this embodiment, the first threshold is 1s, and in other optional embodiments, the first threshold can also be set by the user or automatically generated by the system), it means that the driver does not turn the steering wheel, at this time, the output torque of the EPS motor of the vehicle is obtained, and the output torque is compared with a preset output torque threshold (in this embodiment, the preset output torque threshold is -1Nm-1Nm, and in other optional embodiments, the preset output torque threshold can also be set by the user or automatically generated by the system).

[0062] S103, if the output torque is within the preset output torque threshold and the duration exceeds the first threshold, the current driving state of the vehicle is determined based on the output torque;

[0063] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , the step S103 specifically includes steps S1031-S1033:

[0064] S1031, the lead screw pitch, belt transmission ratio and transmission efficiency of the EPS motor are obtained, and the assist data of the EPS motor is calculated according to the lead screw pitch, the belt transmission ratio, the transmission efficiency and the output torque;

[0065] S1032, obtaining the internal friction of the steering system of the vehicle and the suspension active return force, and comparing the assist data with the internal friction and the suspension active return force;

[0066] S1033, if the assist data is less than or equal to the sum of the internal friction and the suspension active return force, it is determined that the current driving state of the vehicle is a straight driving state.

[0067] In a specific implementation, if the output torque is at a preset output torque threshold and the duration exceeds a first threshold, the lead screw pitch, the belt transmission ratio, and the transmission efficiency of the EPS motor are obtained, and the assist data of the EPS motor (in this embodiment, R-EPS is taken as an example) is calculated according to the lead screw pitch, the belt transmission ratio, the transmission efficiency, and the output torque according to the following formula:

[0068] F 助力 = Tmotor / lead screw pitch * (2 * Pi * belt transmission ratio * transmission efficiency);

[0069] Wherein, Tmotor is the output torque of the assist motor, that is, the output torque of the EPS motor of the vehicle.

[0070] Further, the internal friction of the vehicle steering system and the suspension active return force are the keys to maintain the straight driving of the vehicle, and the motor output torque only needs to overcome the internal friction of the vehicle steering system and the suspension active return force. The suspension active return force is provided by the wheel side assembly, and the main friction of the steering system is provided by the steering column and the electric power steering gear assembly, that is, 助力 ≤ F 摩擦力 + F 回正力 , it can be confirmed that the vehicle is in a straight driving state.

[0071] S104, if the current driving state of the vehicle is in a straight driving state, obtaining the system median data in the EPS motor, and comparing the system median data with the initial median data of the vehicle;

[0072] In a specific implementation, when the current driving state of the vehicle is in a straight driving state, and the steering wheel angle is not zero, it means that the steering system median does not coincide with the vehicle straight driving median. Due to the EPS belt active return function, the active return is to make the vehicle return to the steering system median, so the vehicle may exist deviation.

[0073] In this embodiment, 0° output by the angle sensor refers to the steering system median (i.e. system median data), and the initial 0° before self-learning is a calibration value; the straight driving direction of the wheel side assembly after four-wheel alignment refers to the vehicle straight driving median (i.e. initial median data).

[0074] S105, if the system median data is not equal to the initial median data of the vehicle, comparing the current vehicle speed with a preset speed threshold value;

[0075] In a specific implementation, if the system median data is not equal to the initial median data of the vehicle, the current vehicle speed is compared with a preset speed threshold value (in this embodiment, the preset speed threshold value is > 10 Kph, and in other optional embodiments, the preset speed threshold value can also be set by the user or automatically generated by the system).

[0076] S106, if the current vehicle speed is within the preset speed threshold value and the duration exceeds the first threshold value, the EPS motor is self-learned based on the initial median data.

[0077] In a specific implementation, if the current vehicle speed is within the preset speed threshold value and the duration exceeds the first threshold value, the EPS starts self-learning. At this time, the absolute value of the steering wheel angle (i.e. the initial median data) is the target value for self-learning strategy correction, and the self-learning is corrected by 0.1° each time.

[0078] In other optional embodiments, after the step of self-learning the EPS motor based on the initial median data, the method further comprises:

[0079] continuously monitoring the steering wheel information of the vehicle, the output torque of the EPS motor, and the current vehicle speed;

[0080] If any of the steering wheel information of the vehicle, the output torque of the EPS motor, and the current vehicle speed of the vehicle is abnormal, the self-learning is stopped and an abnormal signal is output.

[0081] In a specific implementation, during the compensation process, the EPS continuously monitors the steering wheel information of the vehicle, the output torque of the EPS motor, and the current vehicle speed, and if any of the conditions is abnormal (i.e. exceeds the corresponding threshold value), the self-learning is stopped.

[0082] In summary, the vehicle EPS median self-learning method in the above embodiments determines the driving state of the driver through the steering wheel information, and judges the current driving state of the vehicle based on the output torque of the EPS motor. When the vehicle is in a straight driving state, the system median data of the EPS motor is compared with the initial median data of the vehicle to determine whether the vehicle has deviated. The current vehicle speed is judged, and when the vehicle speed is within the preset speed threshold value, the initial median data is used to self-learn the EPS motor to realize real-time correction of the angle.
