Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] The following further elaborates on the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] As Figure 1 shown, on the one hand, the present invention provides a method for protecting the hydraulic fluid flow rate of a four-wheel hydraulic suspension, including:

[0044] Where, Δv(k) fl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left front suspension and the target flow rate of the left front suspension at the previous moment, Δv(k) fr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right front suspension and the target flow rate of the right front suspension at the previous moment, Δv(k) rl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left rear suspension and the target flow rate of the left rear suspension at the previous moment, Δv(k) rr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right rear suspension and the target flow rate of the right rear suspension at the previous moment, v fl is the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left front suspension, v fr is the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right front suspension, v rl is the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left rear suspension, v rr is the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right rear suspension, v(k - 1) fl is the target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left front suspension at the previous moment, v(k - 1) fr is the target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right front suspension at the previous moment, v(k - 1) rl is the target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left rear suspension at the previous moment, v(k - 1) rr is the target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the right rear suspension at the previous moment.

[0045] In this embodiment, as can be seen from the above formula, when Δv(k) fl = 0, the steady-state target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left front suspension is equal to the target flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the left front suspension at the previous moment, and the flow rate has reached a stable value and does not need to be adjusted. Δv(k) flWhen >0, the steady-state target flow rate of the left front suspension oil is greater than the target flow rate of the left front suspension oil at the previous moment, and the flow rate of the left front suspension oil should continue to increase; Δv(k) fl When <0, the steady-state target flow rate of the left front suspension oil is less than the target flow rate of the left front suspension oil at the previous moment, and the flow rate of the left front suspension oil should continue to decrease. The same applies to the right front suspension, the left rear suspension, and the right rear suspension.

[0047] In some alternative embodiments, according to the formula:

[0049] where, Δv(k) flmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the left front suspension, Δv(k) frmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the right front suspension, Δv(k) rlmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the left rear suspension, Δv(k) rrmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the right rear suspension, Δv(k) flmaxone is the maximum available flow rate change of the left front suspension per unit time, Δv(k) frmaxone is the maximum available flow rate change of the right front suspension per unit time, Δv(k) rlmaxone is the maximum available flow rate change of the left rear suspension per unit time, Δv(k) rrmaxone is the maximum available flow rate change of the right rear suspension per unit time, and Δt is the task execution cycle. The task execution cycle is the time used to execute a change in the oil flow rate.

[0050] In this embodiment, it can be seen from the above formula that is equivalent to By limiting the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in each suspension, the oil pipelines of each suspension are protected from being damaged or having their service life reduced due to too rapid changes in the flow rate.

[0051] S1: Determine the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rate of each suspension to change to the steady-state target flow rate simultaneously according to the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in each suspension, the target flow rate of the oil in each suspension at the previous moment, and the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in each suspension.

[0052] In this embodiment, the number of steps refers to the number of times of oil flow rate change required to change from the target flow rate of the oil at the previous moment to the steady-state target flow rate of the oil.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, according to the formula:

[0055] where N(k) fl is the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rate of the left front suspension to change to the steady-state target flow rate, N(k) fr is the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rate of the right front suspension to change to the steady-state target flow rate, N(k) rl is the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rate of the left rear suspension to change to the steady-state target flow rate, N(k) rr is the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rate of the right rear suspension to change to the steady-state target flow rate, Δv(k) fl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in the left front suspension and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the left front suspension, Δv(k) fr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in the right front suspension and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the right front suspension, Δv(k) rl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in the left rear suspension and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the left rear suspension, Δv(k) rr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in the right rear suspension and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the right rear suspension, Δv(k) flmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in the left front suspension, Δv(k) frmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in the right front suspension, Δv(k) rlmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in the left rear suspension, Δv(k) rrmax is the maximum available flow rate change of the oil in the right rear suspension, N(k) max is the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rates of each suspension to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate.

[0056] In this embodiment, according to the above formula, it can be seen that

[0057] S2: Determine the execution flow rate change for the oil flow rates of each suspension to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate according to the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rates of each suspension to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in each suspension, and the target flow rate of the oil in each suspension at the previous moment.

[0058] Step S2 specifically includes:

[0059] S21: Determine the maximum available flow rate change for the oil flow rates of each suspension to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate according to the minimum number of steps required for the oil flow rates of each suspension to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, the steady-state target flow rate of the oil in each suspension, and the target flow rate of the oil in each suspension at the previous moment.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, according to the formula: Determine the maximum available flow rate change for the suspension hydraulic fluid flow rates to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rates;

[0061] where, Δv1(k) fl is the maximum available flow rate change for the left front suspension hydraulic fluid flow rate to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, Δv1(k) fr is the maximum available flow rate change for the right front suspension hydraulic fluid flow rate to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, Δv1(k) rl is the maximum available flow rate change for the left rear suspension hydraulic fluid flow rate to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, Δv1(k) rr is the maximum available flow rate change for the right rear suspension hydraulic fluid flow rate to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate, Δv(k) fl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the left front suspension hydraulic fluid and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the left front suspension, Δv(k) fr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the right front suspension hydraulic fluid and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the right front suspension, Δv(k) rl is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the left rear suspension hydraulic fluid and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the left rear suspension, Δv(k) rr is the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of the right rear suspension hydraulic fluid and the target flow rate at the previous moment of the right rear suspension, N(k) max is the minimum number of steps required for the suspension hydraulic fluid flow rates to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rates.

[0062] In this embodiment, it can be seen from the above formula that Combined with step S1, it can be seen that The maximum available flow rate change for the suspension hydraulic fluid flow rates to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rates does not exceed the maximum available flow rate change of each suspension.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, according to the formula:

[0068] Determine the sum of the ratios of the difference between the steady-state target flow rate of each suspension oil and the target flow rate at the previous moment to the steady-state target flow rate of each suspension oil;

[0069] According to the formula: Determine the suspension oil flow rate control coefficient;

Among them, β1 > β0, γ1 > γ0, 0 < β0 ≤ β(k) ≤ β1 ≤ 1, and the values of β1, β0, γ1, and γ0 are obtained through experimental calibration.

[0080] In this embodiment, by adding the change in the execution flow rate for the suspension oil to simultaneously change to the steady-state target flow rate to the target flow rate of the suspension oil at the previous moment, the target flow rate of the suspension oil at the current moment is obtained, and a change in the oil flow rate is completed.

[0081] S4: Update the target flow rate values of the suspension oils at the previous moment to the target flow rate values of the suspension oils at the current moment, and loop the above steps until the difference between the target flow rate of the suspension oil at the current moment and the steady-state target flow rate of the suspension oil is less than the set value.

[0082] In this embodiment, by repeating the process of obtaining the target flow rate of each suspension oil at the current moment by performing the oil flow rate change on the target flow rate of each suspension oil at the previous moment until the difference between the target flow rate of each suspension oil at the current moment and the steady-state target flow rate of each suspension oil is less than the set value.

This solves the problem in the prior art that the oil flow rate changes rapidly, resulting in a low service life and easy damage of the hydraulic pipeline. During the dynamic control process of the oil flow rate of the hydraulic suspension, the change amount of the oil flow rate is always required to be less than or equal to the maximum allowable change amount of the hydraulic system characteristics, avoiding the problems of damage to the hydraulic suspension pipeline and low working life, and improving the durability of the working life of the suspension system.
