[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The purpose of this invention is to provide a variable parameter suspension control method, system, and electronic device, which achieves a balance between the acceleration and dynamic travel of the suspension under different environments by setting different control parameters (filter cutoff frequency) under different road conditions.

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a suspension control method with variable parameters, including steps 100 to 500.

[0042] Step 100: Obtain road surface unevenness excitation.

[0043] Step 200: Determine the filter cutoff frequency based on the road surface unevenness excitation.

[0044] This invention selects different filter cutoff frequencies based on different road surface conditions to achieve a balance between acceleration and dynamic travel under varying road conditions. Specifically, when the dynamic travel is small, a smaller filter cutoff frequency is selected, indicating that high-frequency road disturbances that cause vibration acceleration response are suppressed. The high-frequency signal of the dynamic travel is equal to the vehicle body displacement, thus focusing the control emphasis on acceleration, which is equivalent to increasing the acceleration weighting value in the performance indicators. The smaller the filter cutoff frequency, the smaller the acceleration response of the system. At this time, the suspension becomes softer, and the dynamic travel will increase, making full use of the dynamic travel working space to reduce the impact of vibration acceleration. Conversely, when the dynamic travel is large, the control emphasis is placed on the low-frequency signal of the dynamic travel, which is equivalent to increasing the dynamic travel weighting coefficient in the performance indicators. At this time, the control feedback aims to prevent suspension breakdown, so the suspension becomes stiffer, and the suspension dynamic travel is effectively controlled, but at the cost of increased acceleration.

[0045] Step 300: Establish the state equations of the suspension system.

[0046] As one specific implementation method, the suspension system is a single-wheel suspension system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this invention is based on the road surface unevenness excitation q(t) at time t and the vertical displacement x of the vehicle body at time t. b (t) and the vertical displacement x of the wheel at time t. w (t), determine the control law u(t) at time t.

[0047] Specifically, the differential equation of the single-wheel suspension system is first determined based on Newton's second law: .

[0048] Where, m bThe mass of the car carried by a single wheel, m w For the mass of the wheel, For the acceleration of the sprung mass, Let k be the acceleration of the unsprung mass. s x represents the stiffness of the suspension spring. b x represents the vertical displacement of the vehicle body. w Let be the vertical displacement of the wheel, and c be the vibration damping coefficient of the suspension. The velocity of the sprung mass Let k be the velocity of the unsprung mass. t Let be the elastic stiffness of the tire, q be the road surface roughness excitation, and u be the control rate. Indicates kinetic velocity. Indicates the suspension travel, (x) w -q) indicates the amount of tire deformation.

[0049] Then, based on the differential equation of the single-wheel suspension system, the state equation of the single-wheel suspension system is determined: .

[0050] .

[0051] .

[0052] .

[0053] .

[0054] in, for The derivative of For state vectors, The state matrix, For the input matrix, Let T be the excitation matrix, and let T denote the transpose.

[0055] Step 400: Determine the frequency response function based on the road surface roughness excitation and the state equation of the suspension system.

[0056] Specifically, the frequency response function includes a frequency response transfer function from road surface unevenness excitation to the wheel and a frequency response transfer function from road surface unevenness excitation to the vehicle body.

[0057] The frequency response transfer function from road surface unevenness excitation to the wheel is: .

[0058] The frequency response transfer function from the road surface unevenness excitation to the vehicle body is: .

[0059] in, Let be the frequency response transfer function from road surface roughness excitation to the wheel. Let j be the frequency response transfer function from road surface roughness excitation to vehicle body. Let x be the angular frequency. w x is the vertical displacement of the wheel. b Let q represent the vertical displacement of the vehicle body, and q represent the road surface unevenness excitation. Let be the natural frequency of the sprung mass. Let be the natural frequency of the unsprung mass. For the damping ratio, It is the mass ratio of the sprung mass to the unsprung mass. , , , .

[0060] Step 500: Based on the road surface roughness excitation, the filter cutoff frequency, and the frequency response function, solve for the control law to control the force exerted by the suspension beam on the vehicle mass carried by the wheel and the force exerted by the suspension beam on the wheel mass.

[0061] Specifically, the first dummy controlled variable is selected. ,in, For the filtered response of the moving stroke, , Let be the filter cutoff frequency, and s be the Laplace operator. For the first dummy controlled variable... Taking the first derivative, we get: .

[0062] Where, x1=x b , x3=x w .

[0063] To ensure the dynamic stability of the first virtual state variable z1, a second virtual controlled variable is selected. Where c1 is a positive constant.

[0064] The dynamic equation of the first virtual controlled variable z1 then becomes: .

[0065] Differentiating the second dummy controlled variable z2, we obtain the control law u: .

[0066] in, , .

[0067] As can be seen, the control law u is already present in the above equation, and the inverse solution yields: .

[0068] Where c2 is a positive constant.

[0069] This invention sets different filter cutoff frequencies under different road surface conditions to achieve a balance between the acceleration and dynamic travel of the suspension in different environments.

[0075] The response function determination module 4 is connected to the road surface excitation acquisition module 1 and the state equation establishment module 3 respectively. The response function determination module 4 is used to determine the frequency response function based on the road surface roughness excitation and the state equation of the suspension system.

[0076] The control module 5 is connected to the road surface excitation acquisition module 1, the frequency determination module 2, the response function determination module 4, and the suspension beam of the suspension system. The control module 5 is used to solve the control law based on the road surface roughness excitation, the filter cutoff frequency, and the frequency response function, so as to control the force exerted by the suspension beam on the vehicle mass carried by the wheel and the force exerted by the suspension beam on the wheel mass.
