Abstract
Description

The opposite directions of the driving torque on the left and right sides of the vehicle provide the basis for on-the-spot steering. For on-the-spot steering, using a uniform distribution strategy with the same absolute value of driving torque for all four wheels will result in a large displacement of the center of gravity during the steering process for vehicles that are not centered, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of on-the-spot steering effectively.

This process is repeated in real time until the vehicle completes the turning motion around the center of gravity.
[0029] In the closed-loop automatic control process, a feedback loop exists between the important output and input terminals, and the output directly affects the control process. In road conditions where the external environment is variable and difficult to control, this method provides high accuracy in torque control and is less sensitive to external disturbances and changes in system parameters.

[0063] Example 1
[0064] This embodiment discloses a method for controlling the steering torque of a distributed drive vehicle, wherein the distributed drive vehicle includes four drive hub motors M. ij (i = 1, 2; j = 1, 2), a centroid velocity sensor SEN v A center of mass acceleration sensor SEN a Four hub motor controller MCUs ij (i = 1, 2; j = 1, 2), one basic controller CM1, one correction controller CM2; four drive hub motors M ij Each sensor is used to directly drive the rotation of the four wheels; the center of gravity speed sensor (SEN) v Used to measure the longitudinal and lateral velocities at the vehicle's center of gravity; Center of Gravity Acceleration Sensor (SEN) a Used to measure longitudinal and lateral acceleration at the vehicle's center of gravity; four wheel hub motor controllers (MCUs) ij The controller receives command signals to control the four drive wheel hub motors to perform corresponding operations; the basic controller CM1 calculates the basic desired drive torque T required by the four wheels to initiate steering of the vehicle. sij (i = 1, 2; j = 1, 2), T s11 =T s12 T s21 =T s22 The driving torque of the front and rear wheels is equal; the correction controller CM2 performs dimensionality reduction screening on the wheels that need to be adjusted, and uses a proportional correction strategy to calculate the new slip ratio and driving torque required for correction.
[0065] The process of this distributed drive vehicle in-situ steering torque control method for in-situ vehicle steering around the center of gravity is as follows:
[0066] Step 1: By setting the basic vehicle model parameters, the basic controller CM1 calculates the desired driving torque T for the four wheels. sij The desired driving torque T of each wheel sij The output is sent to the correction controller CM2;
[0067] Step 2: Correct the controller CM2 based on the input desired drive torque T of the four wheels. sij The corrected drive torque T of each wheel sij Output to the corresponding four wheel hub motor controller MCUs ij middle;

[0073] Step 8: Repeat steps 3 to 7, gradually increasing the driving torque of each wheel. Within one adjustment cycle, only the driving torque of one wheel is corrected, while the output torque of the other three wheels remains unchanged, until the vehicle completes the stationary turning action around the center of gravity.
[0074] The distributed drive vehicle in-situ steering torque control method of the present invention has both a basic controller and a correction controller during implementation, which can achieve the purpose of the vehicle turning around its center of gravity in place; the vehicle turns around its center of gravity once in place with good effect, and can meet the requirement that the center of gravity moves within a small range.
[0075] The technical solution of this embodiment will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, O is the vehicle's center of gravity. ‘ Let be the vehicle's geometric center, 'a' be the wheel slip angle, 'd' be the distance from the vehicle's center of mass to the geometric center, 'b' be the track width, 'l' be the wheelbase, and 'ω' be the angular velocity of the vehicle's rotation about its center of mass; the left front wheel, right front wheel, left rear wheel, and right rear wheel are respectively Tyre 11 Tyre 12 Tyre 21 Tyre 22 The speeds of each wheel are v tyre11 v tyre12 v tyre21 v tyre22 The longitudinal forces of each wheel are F x11 F x12 F x21 F x22 The lateral forces of each wheel are F y11 F y12 F y21 F y22 The ground forces acting on each wheel are F. 11 F 12 F 21 F 22 The driving torque of each wheel is T. 11 T 12 T 21 T 22 The longitudinal and lateral velocities at the center of mass are v0 and v1x v y The longitudinal and lateral accelerations at the center of mass are a and a, respectively. x a y .
[0077] like Figure 2As shown, the distributed drive vehicle's stationary steering torque control structure works as follows: During the vehicle's stationary steering around its center of gravity, the basic controller first calculates the driving torque of the four wheels, initiating the steering action. Then, the correction sensors process the real-time collected and fed-back longitudinal and lateral velocities and accelerations at the center of gravity. Based on the desired starting torque input from the basic controller, the driving torque of the wheels to be adjusted is corrected, indirectly changing the driving force of the wheels and achieving stationary steering around the center of gravity, thus controlling the movement of the center of gravity within a small range.
[0078] The designed basic controller analyzes and calculates the input vehicle and environmental ground information. During a stationary turn around the center of gravity, the wheels rotate under a large sideslip angle, and the longitudinal and lateral accelerations at the center of gravity are zero. This yields the desired output driving torque for the wheels. During the stationary turn, the driving torque of the front wheels is gradually increased, and the desired driving torque for each wheel is calculated in real time. Based on the wheel force analysis during the stationary turn, the following can be derived:
[0079]
[0080] Wherein: F z — Wheel vertical load
[0081] μ — Ground adhesion coefficient
[0082] The vehicle's center of gravity speed sensor and acceleration sensor can collect longitudinal, lateral velocity and acceleration data at the vehicle's center of gravity in real time, and feed this data signal back to the designed correction controller. This data signal will be continuously used to correct the driving torque of the wheel to be adjusted.
[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the designed correction controller plans its target acceleration based on the longitudinal and lateral velocities and accelerations at the input center of mass, and calculates and adjusts the wheel longitudinal slip ratio, a factor that can affect the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral acceleration. Based on the planned target acceleration direction and the influence of slip ratio changes on the vehicle's longitudinal and lateral acceleration, and adjusting based on the planned absolute value of the target acceleration and longitudinal or lateral force, a second-order dimensionality reduction is used to select wheels with significant changes in longitudinal slip ratio as the adjustment targets for correction. During stationary turning, the following can be derived from the vehicle body force analysis:
[0084]
[0085] After determining the wheels to be adjusted and the direction of adjustment, a proportional correction strategy is used to derive the new drive torque. In one correction cycle, only the longitudinal slip ratio (i.e., the drive torque) of one wheel is adjusted; the output torque of the other wheels that do not require adjustment remains unchanged. The corrected drive torque signals for all four wheels are output to the corresponding hub motor controllers for each wheel. The adjustment method using the proportional correction strategy is as follows:
[0086] T n+1 =T n +dir·k T
[0087] Where: dir — slip ratio adjustment direction (1, -1)
[0088] k T —Torque Adjustment Ratio
[0089] By using a distributed drive vehicle stationary steering torque control method, the driving torque of the four wheels is adjusted during the stationary steering process around the center of gravity, so that the driving torque of each wheel can change according to the adjusted corrected driving torque value of the desired driving torque value, thereby realizing the stationary steering of the vehicle around the center of gravity and controlling the movement of the center of gravity within a small range.
[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, the in-situ steering torque control method for distributed drive vehicles of the present invention is tested and verified using co-simulation with Carsim and Simulink. In the Carsim simulation program, relevant parameters of the example vehicle are set, and in the Simulink simulation program, a control strategy simulation environment for the controller is built for co-simulation, regressing the parameter k. x k y The value is 0.7, and the torque adjustment ratio k is... T The value is set to 0.25. By comparing the simulation results using only the basic controller and the simulation results after adding the correction controller, under the distributed drive vehicle stationary steering torque control method of the present invention, after adding the correction controller to correct the driving torque of the wheel to be adjusted output by the basic controller, the vehicle can complete one revolution around the center of gravity in place. During this process, the movement of the vehicle's center of gravity is less than 10cm, which has a good stationary steering effect.
[0091] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
