Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electro-hydraulic power steering technology for heavy vehicles, and in particular to a dual-objective super-helical sliding mode control method for a volumetric speed-regulating electro-hydraulic steering system. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy-duty vehicles, as core equipment in large-scale transportation projects, are widely used in national economic construction and military heavy industry sectors, including the transport of large precision instruments and construction equipment, container transport in smart unmanned ports, large-scale smart agricultural harvesting and transportation, and the fixed-point transport of weapons and equipment. With the increasing complexity and variability of driving conditions and the growing trend towards green energy conservation and intelligent assisted driving, these vehicles not only need to meet the requirements of large carrying capacity but also high efficiency, energy saving, flexible and stable driving, and driving comfort and safety. Steering control technology is a key factor affecting these performance characteristics. Due to its advantages such as high power density, wide force transmission range, flexibility, and reliability, electro-hydraulic power steering systems are increasingly widely used in heavy-duty vehicles. In recent years, volumetric speed-regulating systems, which ensure both low energy consumption and good dynamic performance, have received significant attention, but their precise steering tracking control also presents greater challenges.
[0003] Existing control methods for electro-hydraulic power steering systems in heavy-duty vehicles, such as the electro-hydraulic servo steering system and control method for multi-axle vehicles with pure rolling described in patent CN104443025B, mainly rely on a throttling speed regulation system and use a PID control strategy to achieve basic multi-axle electro-hydraulic steering control effects. Another example is the neural network integral sliding mode control method for electro-hydraulic power steering systems described in patent CN109884894B, which mainly relies on a throttling speed regulation system and further improves the nonlinear control accuracy of the system by introducing an adaptive RBF neural network algorithm to optimize the sliding mode control strategy.
[0004] Existing technologies have achieved certain results in terms of high energy efficiency and high-performance dynamic control of electro-hydraulic power steering systems for heavy vehicles, but there are still areas for improvement, mainly in the following aspects:
[0005] (1) Electro-hydraulic power steering systems often use throttling speed regulation systems for steering control. This method has excellent performance in achieving high-precision steering of heavy vehicles, but its essence is to exchange high energy consumption of valve ports for precise control. In response to the global call for energy conservation and emission reduction, volumetric speed regulation systems with high efficiency, energy saving and precise response have been developed rapidly. However, due to the variable driving conditions of vehicles, unknown external disturbances, wide load fluctuation range and constant alternation of left and right steering, direct application will cause the hydraulic cylinder inlet and outlet positions to alternate frequently, and a rapid pressure relief process is easy to occur in the cavity on the return port side, which will lead to insufficient system drive stiffness and poor stability. This problem can be solved through system structure design, but the number of controlled objects and the control difficulty are also constantly increasing.
[0006] (2) In the control methods of electro-hydraulic power steering systems, the robust sliding mode control method has been widely used in engineering applications. Compared with the earliest mature PID control method, which has advantages such as simple structure and few parameters, it abandons the direct simplification of the highly nonlinear electro-hydraulic system into a linear system for control. It fully considers that the system still needs to have strong robustness under parameter uncertainty and unknown disturbances, and can further improve control accuracy. However, due to the switching characteristics of the sliding mode control method, it is easy to generate chattering, especially in systems with high-order terms in the state space expression. This will cause the bogie to continuously shake, loosen the fasteners and accelerate the fatigue damage of mechanical parts, which will also bring great danger to the driving of heavy vehicles.
[0007] (3) In the design of the control strategy, the control signal expression consists of two parts. One part is the feedforward control signal related to the physical parameters such as flow rate and pressure that have been set in the system. The other part is the feedback control signal with the deviation from the control target as input. The accuracy of the feedforward control signal mainly depends on the accuracy of the system modeling. The feedback signal is determined by the nonlinear control method. Both have an impact on the control accuracy and system stability. In the traditional nonlinear sliding mode control strategy, there are multiple control parameters that need to be set. These parameters not only affect the robustness of the system, but also the degree of chattering when the system state enters the vicinity of the sliding surface. Ultimately, they will also affect the realization of high-performance angle tracking control of the electro-hydraulic power steering system. Summary of the Invention
[0008] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a dual-objective super-spiral sliding mode control method for a volumetric speed-regulating electro-hydraulic steering system. This method overcomes the problems of insufficient drive stiffness and poor stability that easily occur when applying high-efficiency, energy-saving, and precise volumetric speed-regulating systems to electro-hydraulic power steering systems of heavy vehicles. It ensures that the system still has strong robustness under parameter uncertainty and unknown disturbances, reduces the impact of nonlinear sliding mode control chattering on steering accuracy and stability, and ensures the rapid convergence of the control system. Ultimately, it achieves high-performance angle tracking control for an energy-saving electro-hydraulic power steering system.

[0076] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0077] To address the issue that direct application of volumetric speed control systems to heavy-duty vehicle steering systems can easily lead to poor stiffness and stability, a servo proportional valve is proposed to be installed at the return port. By adjusting the pressure at the return port, the aforementioned problems can be effectively avoided. Considering the number of controlled objects and control performance requirements, a novel dual-objective nonlinear control strategy for angle and pressure is proposed, enabling the system to maintain excellent dynamic performance with low energy consumption. This improves the angle tracking accuracy of the electro-hydraulic power steering system while also increasing system damping and drive stiffness.
[0078] 2. To address the issue that motor speed-angle control systems with high-order terms in their state-space expressions are more prone to chattering in sliding mode control methods, a super-helical sliding mode control strategy based on a double-saturation function is proposed. This strategy not only handles unavoidable parameter uncertainties, nonlinearities, and external disturbances, but also suppresses chattering and ensures rapid convergence. The improved control method is particularly suitable for highly nonlinear volumetric speed-regulating electro-hydraulic power steering systems. Furthermore, stability analysis of the system is conducted based on Lyapunov stability theory, and a method for evaluating the degree of chattering suppression in volumetric speed-regulating electro-hydraulic steering systems is proposed, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control method in suppressing chattering.
[0079] 3. To address the impact of the weighting of feedforward and feedback components in the control signal and the setting of multiple control parameters on the system's control accuracy, stability, robustness, and chattering level, a self-adjusting factor for the proportion of multivariable principal terms in the model based on the super-helical sliding mode control law under a double saturation function is proposed. This further weakens chattering and enhances system robustness. Furthermore, a multi-objective intelligent optimization method based on particle swarm optimization is used to optimize the control parameters of the signal, thereby achieving the optimal control gain for the difference signal between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle of the right wheel in the search steering system. Ultimately, this achieves high-performance steering angle tracking control for the volumetric speed-regulating electro-hydraulic power steering system. Attached Figure Description

[0188] Based on the proofs for cases I and II, it can be shown that ζ will converge to zero, i.e., s. It can converge to zero, further illustrating e. If all values converge to zero, the system state reaches the desired value and the system is stable. Therefore, the sliding surface has global convergence.
[0189] B) When s = 0:
[0190] We know that s = 0, And the matrix also satisfies When s≠0, it forces s to deviate from zero, thus triggering case A.
[0191] Furthermore, the implementation method of step S6 is as follows: based on the super-spiral sliding mode control law under the double saturation function, construct the self-adjusting factor σ of the proportion of the multivariable principal terms in the model. FFR (0<σ FFR If ≤1), then the improved method for obtaining the voltage control signal output by the controller to the servo motor pump is as follows:
[0192]
[0193] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the voltage control signal output by the controller to the return port servo proportional valve is as follows:

[0197]
[0198] Differentiating, we get:
[0199]
[0200] This indicates that its control system is asymptotically convergent.
