[0072] Embodiments of the present application are described below in the detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by using examples, which are exemplary only and are not to be construed as limiting the present application. It should be noted that for purposes of the present description, like reference numbers in the figures indicate like or similar elements or components.

[0073] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation description, such as the upper, lower, and the like, refers to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the purpose of facilitating the description of the present application and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0074] In the description of the present application, the plural refers to two or more. If there is a description of the first, second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the sequence of technical features indicated.

[0075] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly limited, the words such as arrangement, installation, connection, etc. should be broadly understood, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above words in the present application in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0076] Since the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steering gear is cancelled, the steering wheel will be in a free state after the vehicle is turned off. When the steering wheel is subjected to external force, for example, the vehicle is in collision, the vehicle body swings under the action of strong wind, the steering wheel will rotate uncontrollably. Among them, some drivers have the habit of holding the steering wheel for help when getting on or off the vehicle. At this time, if the driver habitually holds the steering wheel for help, the steering wheel may rotate freely and uncontrollably due to the lack of restraint. Such sudden and unexpected rotation may cause the driver to lose balance, and further cause the driver to be injured.

[0077] Therefore, some embodiments of the present application propose a control method of a steer-by-wire system, applied to a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a steering wheel, a column and a motor, wherein the steering wheel is connected with the column, and the motor is connected with the column and can apply a torque to the column, specifically, the motor can apply a torque to the column to drive the stationary steering wheel to rotate; when the steering wheel is subjected to external force, the motor can apply a torque in the same direction as the external force to assist the rotation of the steering wheel, thereby reducing the difficulty of rotating the steering wheel. The motor can also apply a torque in the opposite direction of the external force to prevent the steering wheel from rotating. For a specific description of the control method of the steer-by-wire system, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The control method of the steer-by-wire system is described.

[0078] For a specific description of the control method of the steer-by-wire system, please refer to Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the control method of the steer-by-wire system comprises:

[0079] In step S101, the start-stop state of the vehicle is continuously monitored, and the start-stop state comprises a starting state and an engine-off state.

[0080] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the steer-by-wire system has a limiting function, specifically, the limiting function is intended to limit the steering wheel when the steering wheel is in a free state, thereby limiting the rotation of the steering wheel. In order to prevent the limiting function from interfering with the steering wheel when the driver normally drives the vehicle, the limiting function of the present embodiment adopts a dynamic activation mechanism. The present embodiment can continuously monitor the start-stop state of the vehicle, when the vehicle is in the starting state, the limiting function automatically enters the dormant state, avoiding the intervention to the driver's operation behavior. When the vehicle is in the engine-off state, further judge whether the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition, if the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition, the limiting function will be activated, so as to ensure that the limiting function is only activated in the required use scenario, preventing the limiting function of the steer-by-wire system from causing unnecessary interference or limitation to the driver.

[0081] In step S102, when the vehicle is in the engine-off state, the vehicle condition information change is obtained, and it is judged whether the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition.

[0082] In step S103, when the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition, the limiting function is activated.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle condition information change comprises the locking state change of the vehicle and the opening-closing state change of the vehicle door, wherein the locking state of the vehicle comprises a locked state and an unlocked state, and the locking state change comprises switching from the locked state to the unlocked state, maintaining the unlocked state or the locked state, and switching from the unlocked state to the locked state. The opening-closing state of the vehicle door comprises an open state and a closed state, and the opening-closing state change comprises switching from the open state to the closed state, maintaining the open state or the closed state, and switching from the closed state to the open state.

[0084] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, judging whether the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition comprises: when any one of the following conditions is met, it is determined that the preset condition is met: the locking state change is maintaining the unlocked state or switching from the locked state to the unlocked state; the opening-closing state change is maintaining the closed state or switching from the closed state to the open state.

[0085] It can be understood that, in the process of vehicle driving, the vehicle with automatic locking function will automatically switch the vehicle from the unlocked state to the locked state during the vehicle driving, and the vehicle without automatic locking function will maintain the unlocked state during the vehicle driving, or will switch from the unlocked state to the locked state under the active locking operation of the driver.

[0086] Based on this, the change of the locking state to the maintenance of the unlocked state indicates that the driver may stay in the vehicle or may prepare to leave the vehicle. In the off state, whether the driver continues to stay in the vehicle or leaves the vehicle, there will be a possibility of touching the steering wheel to cause the steering wheel to rotate. In order to avoid the rotation of the steering wheel under the intentional or unintentional operation of the driver, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the change of the vehicle condition information meets the preset condition, that is, the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function.

[0087] The change of the locking state from the locked state to the unlocked state indicates that the vehicle has been actively unlocked by the driver. When the driver is in the vehicle, in the off state of the vehicle, the unlocking of the vehicle by the driver means that the driver has the intention to prepare to leave the vehicle. Based on this, in order to avoid the rotation of the steering wheel when the driver gets off the vehicle and holds the steering wheel, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the change of the vehicle condition information meets the preset condition, that is, the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function. When the driver is outside the vehicle, in the off state of the vehicle, the unlocking of the vehicle by the driver means that the driver has the intention to prepare to get into the vehicle. Based on this, in order to avoid the rotation of the steering wheel when the driver gets on the vehicle and holds the steering wheel, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the change of the vehicle condition information meets the preset condition, that is, the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function.

[0088] The change of the switching state to the maintenance of the closed state indicates that the door is not opened. When the driver is in the vehicle, in the off state of the vehicle, the driver does not open the door, which means that the driver has the intention to stay in the vehicle. Based on this, in order to avoid the rotation of the steering wheel under the intentional or unintentional operation of the driver during the stay of the driver in the vehicle, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the change of the vehicle condition information meets the preset condition, that is, the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function.

[0089] The switch state change from the off state to the on state indicates that the vehicle door has been actively opened by the driver. When the driver is inside the vehicle, opening the vehicle door in the off state means that the driver has the intention to leave the vehicle. Based on this, in order to avoid the steering wheel turning when the driver is holding the steering wheel while getting out of the vehicle, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition, i.e., the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function. When the driver is outside the vehicle, opening the vehicle door in the off state means that the driver has the intention to get into the vehicle. Based on this, in order to avoid the steering wheel turning when the driver is holding the steering wheel while getting into the vehicle, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition, i.e., the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function.

[0090] In step S104, when the limiting function is in the activated state and the steering wheel is detected to be turned, the motor is controlled to apply a reverse torque to the column in the opposite direction of the turning direction of the steering wheel, so as to stop the steering wheel.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, the steer-by-wire system can switch the limiting function to the activated state after determining that the current scene meets the application scene of activating the limiting function. It can be understood that the present embodiment can be provided with a sensor for detecting the turning of the steering wheel. Based on this, when the limiting function is in the activated state and the sensor detects that the steering wheel is turned, in order to limit the steering wheel from continuing to turn under the action of an external force, the motor is controlled to apply a reverse torque to the column in the opposite direction of the turning direction of the steering wheel. The reverse torque applied to the column and the torque generated by the external force acting on the steering wheel are offset, so as to stop the steering wheel.

[0092] The present embodiment can limit the turning of the steering wheel by applying a reverse torque to the column in the opposite direction of the turning direction of the steering wheel in time when the steering wheel is detected to be turned, effectively reducing the risk of collision between the steering wheel and the limiting structure when the steering wheel reaches its turning limit, significantly reducing the possibility of component damage, and thus improving the reliability and safety of the steer-by-wire system. In addition, since the turning of the steering wheel is limited in the off state, the initial position of the steering wheel does not change when the driver restarts the vehicle, the driver can quickly identify the initial position of the steering wheel, and does not need to perform tedious inspection and adjustment, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of driving, and bringing a smoother and more comfortable driving experience to the driver.

[0093] It can be understood that, compared with the additional mechanical device in the traditional method to limit the rotation of the steering wheel in the vehicle off state, the embodiment only needs to apply the reverse torque to the column by the original motor of the steer-by-wire system in the opposite direction of the rotation of the steering wheel, so as to limit the rotation of the steering wheel, only needs to optimize and upgrade the existing system in the software level, not only saves the material cost of additional devices, but also saves the space in the vehicle. In addition, the increase of additional mechanical devices can simplify the assembly process of the vehicle, reduce the probability of vehicle failure, and reduce the weight of the vehicle.

[0094] Referring to Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle condition information change includes a lock state change of the vehicle and an opening and closing state change of a door of the vehicle, the preset condition includes that the lock state change is from a locked state to an unlocked state and the opening and closing state change is from a closed state to an open state, and step S102 includes:

[0095] Step S1021, detecting the lock state change;

[0096] Step S1022, when the lock state change is from the locked state to the unlocked state, detecting the opening and closing state change in response to an unlocking signal, the unlocking signal being a signal generated when the vehicle is unlocked;

[0097] Step S1023, when the opening and closing state change is from the closed state to the open state, determining that the vehicle condition information change meets the preset condition in response to a door opening signal, the door opening signal being a signal generated when the door is opened.

[0098] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the detection of the lock state change is realized by detecting whether the unlocking signal or the locking signal is received. It should be noted that the unlocking signal is generated when the vehicle is unlocked, and the locking signal is generated when the vehicle is locked. When the steer-by-wire system receives the unlocking signal, it indicates that the lock state change of the vehicle is from the locked state to the unlocked state, which means that the driver actively unlocks the vehicle.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the steer-by-wire system first detects the lock state change of the vehicle, and then detects whether the door opening signal or the door closing signal is received in response to the unlocking signal after confirming that the vehicle is unlocked, so as to realize the detection of the opening and closing state change. It should be noted that the door opening signal is generated when the door is opened, and the door closing signal is generated when the door is closed. When the steer-by-wire system receives the door opening signal, it indicates that the opening and closing state change of the door is from the closed state to the open state, which means that the driver actively opens the door.

[0100] The steer-by-wire system in the embodiment can accurately determine whether the driver is in a state of preparing to leave the vehicle or in a state of preparing to enter the vehicle by sequentially detecting the lock state change of the vehicle and the opening and closing state change of the vehicle door, thereby improving the accuracy of determining whether the vehicle is in an application scenario suitable for activating the limiting function. Specifically, in the embodiment, the driver first unlocks the vehicle and then opens the door, which means that when the driver is originally in the vehicle, the driver has the intention to leave the vehicle; when the driver is originally outside the vehicle, the driver has the intention to enter the vehicle.

[0101] In another embodiment of the present application, the vehicle condition information change includes a start-stop state change of the vehicle, a lock state change of the vehicle, and an opening and closing state change of the vehicle door, and the preset condition includes that the start-stop state change is from a starting state to an off state, the lock state change is to maintain an unlocked state or switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, and the opening and closing state change is to maintain a closed state. The start-stop state of the vehicle includes a starting state and an off state, and the start-stop state change includes switching from the starting state to the off state, maintaining the starting state or the off state, and switching from the off state to the starting state. Referring to Figure 3 In the embodiment, step S102 includes:

[0102] Step S1024, detecting a start-stop state change.

[0103] Step S1025, when the start-stop state change is from the starting state to the off state, detecting an opening and closing state change in response to an off signal, the off signal being a signal generated when the vehicle is off.

[0104] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the detection of the start-stop state change is realized by detecting whether the off signal or the starting signal is received. It should be noted that the off signal is generated when the vehicle is off, and the starting signal is generated when the vehicle is started. When the steer-by-wire system receives the off signal, it indicates that the start-stop state of the vehicle changes from the starting state to the off state, which means that the driver actively off the vehicle. After confirming that the driver is in the vehicle and off the vehicle, the opening and closing state change is detected in the embodiment.

[0105] Step S1026, detecting a lock state change when the opening and closing state change is to maintain a closed state.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, when the opening and closing state change is to maintain a closed state, it indicates that the vehicle door is not opened, which means that the driver does not immediately leave the vehicle after the vehicle is off, but stays in the vehicle. After confirming that the driver is in the vehicle and off the vehicle, and does not immediately open the door to leave the vehicle, the lock state change is detected in the embodiment.

[0107] Step S1027, when the lock state changes to maintain the unlocked state or switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, it is determined that the vehicle condition information change condition meets the preset condition.

[0108] In the embodiment of the application, when the lock state changes to maintain the unlocked state or switches from the locked state to the unlocked state, it indicates that the vehicle door has the condition of being opened by the driver at this time. However, the driver does not immediately open the vehicle door after the vehicle is turned off, and the vehicle is not in the locked state, which means that the driver intentionally stays in the vehicle temporarily. Based on this, in order to avoid the driver intentionally or unintentionally operating the steering wheel to cause the steering wheel to rotate when the driver stays in the vehicle, the steer-by-wire system can determine that the vehicle condition information change condition meets the preset condition, that is, this is a suitable use scenario for activating the limiting function.

[0109] In the embodiment of the application, the control method further comprises:

[0110] Step S201, when the switch state changes from the closed state to the open state, and the lock state changes from the unlocked state to the locked state, the limiting function is controlled to be dormant.

[0111] It can be understood that when the driver turns off the vehicle, the switch state changes from the closed state to the open state, which means that the driver opens the vehicle door, and the lock state changes from the unlocked state to the locked state, which means that the driver locks the vehicle after opening the vehicle door, which means that the driver leaves the vehicle. In this embodiment, after the driver parks and leaves the vehicle, the steer-by-wire system controls the limiting function to be dormant, which can save energy.

[0112] In the embodiment of the application, referring to FIG. 1, step S104 comprises: Figure 4

[0113] Step S1041, acquiring the rotation speed data and the rotation amplitude data of the steering wheel.

[0114] In the embodiment of the application, the column or the steering wheel can be provided with a sensor for detecting the rotation speed and the rotation amplitude of the steering wheel. When the limiting function is in the activated state, and the steering wheel is detected to rotate, the rotation speed data and the rotation amplitude data corresponding to the current rotation of the steering wheel can be acquired through the sensor.

[0115] Step S1042, judging the rotation level of the steering wheel according to the rotation speed data and the rotation amplitude data.

[0116] ​In the embodiment of the present application, different rotating speeds and rotating amplitudes can be divided into multiple rotating levels in advance. For example, a rotating speed of 5 degrees per second or a rotating amplitude of 5 degrees is defined as a first rotating level, a rotating speed of 10 degrees per second or a rotating amplitude of 10 degrees is defined as a second rotating level, and a rotating speed of 15 degrees per second or a rotating amplitude of 15 degrees is defined as a third rotating level. It should be noted that the number of rotating levels can be adaptively set according to the type of the steering wheel, the stroke of the steering wheel, and other factors, so as to meet diversified actual needs, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard. Based on the division of the rotating levels, the current rotating level corresponding to the rotating of the steering wheel can be quickly and accurately determined based on the obtained rotating speed data and rotating amplitude data.

[0117] In step S1043, the reference torque data corresponding to the rotating level is selected as the target torque data from a preset reference torque set according to the rotating level. The preset reference torque set includes multiple reference torque data corresponding to different rotating levels.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the corresponding reference torque data can be prepared for different rotating levels. For example, the reference torque data corresponding to the first rotating level is 15 N (Newton), the reference torque data corresponding to the second rotating level is 20 N (Newton), and the reference torque data corresponding to the third rotating level is 30 N (Newton). It should be noted that each reference torque data is a reverse torque capable of stopping the rotating of different rotating levels. After the current rotating level corresponding to the rotating of the steering wheel is determined, the target torque data can be obtained from the preset reference torque set.

[0119] In step S1044, the motor is controlled to apply a reverse torque to the column according to the target torque data.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the steer-by-wire system controls the motor to apply a reverse torque to the column, and the size of the reverse torque matches the target torque data, so as to realize the stopping operation of the steering wheel.

[0121] Referring to Figure 5 In the embodiment of the present application, the control method of the steer-by-wire system further includes:

[0122] In step S301, the start-stop state change is continuously monitored.

[0123] In step S302, when the start-stop state change is from the off state to the start state, the control of the limiting function is dormant.

[0124] It can be understood that the embodiment can continuously monitor the start-stop state change of the vehicle, and the start-stop state change from the off state to the start state means that the driver has completed the start of the vehicle and is ready to drive the vehicle. Based on this, when the vehicle is in the start state, in order to avoid the limiting function from incorrectly interfering with the normal operation of the driver on the steering wheel, the steer-by-wire system can temporarily control the limiting function to be dormant at this time.

[0125] Specifically, in the embodiment of the application, the steer-by-wire system comprises a steering actuator and a road feel simulator, the steering actuator is configured to be capable of detecting first rotation angle information of a gear connected with a wheel of the vehicle, and the road feel simulator is configured to be capable of detecting second rotation angle information of a steering wheel, and the control method further comprises: Figure 6

[0126] Step S105, when the start-stop state changes from the off state to the start state, the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information are acquired.

[0127] Step S106, according to the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information, the motor drives the column to rotate to drive the steering wheel to rotate to a position relationship in synchronization with the wheel.

[0128] It can be understood that, since the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheel is cancelled, if the steering wheel rotates when the vehicle is off, it will cause the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel to change, resulting in that the position relationship of the two is out of synchronization. In order to correct the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel before the driver starts the vehicle and prepares to drive the vehicle, the embodiment can acquire the current first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information. The first rotation angle information of the wheel represents the position information of the wheel, and the second rotation angle information of the steering wheel represents the position information of the steering wheel. The embodiment controls the motor to drive the column to rotate according to the acquired first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information, so as to drive the steering wheel to rotate to a position relationship in synchronization with the wheel, thereby realizing the correction of the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel.

[0129] Specifically, referring to Figure 7

[0130] Step S1061, the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information are compared, and it is determined whether the steering wheel and the wheel maintain a position relationship in synchronization.

[0131] Step S1062, when the wheel and the steering wheel do not maintain a position relationship in synchronization, the motor is controlled to drive the column to rotate according to the first rotation angle information.

[0132] ​​The embodiment compares the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information to determine whether the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel satisfies synchronization, and it should be noted that the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel is preset. When the position relationship between the wheel and the steering wheel does not remain synchronized, it indicates that the steering wheel rotates during the vehicle is off, resulting in the position relationship between the wheel and the steering wheel not remaining synchronized. Based on this, the embodiment can control the motor to drive the column to rotate according to the first rotation angle information of the gear, thereby correcting the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel.

[0133] In an example, the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel is preset to be the same as the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information. The first rotation angle information obtained by the steering actuator is 0°, and the second rotation angle information obtained by the road feel simulator is 5°, and the first rotation angle information and the second rotation angle information do not match, which means that the steering wheel rotates. In order to correct the position relationship between the steering wheel and the wheel, the motor can be controlled to drive the column to rotate to drive the steering wheel to rotate according to the first rotation angle information until the second rotation angle information of the steering wheel is also 0°, which matches the first rotation angle information.

[0143] In another embodiment of the present application, the change of the vehicle condition information includes a start-stop state change of the vehicle, a locking state change of the vehicle and a switch state change of the door of the vehicle, the preset condition includes that the start-stop state change is from the starting state to the off state, the locking state change is maintaining the unlocking state or from the locking state to the unlocking state, and the switch state change is maintaining the closing state, and the control system further includes:

[0147] The second determination module is configured to determine that the change of the vehicle condition information meets the preset condition when the change of the locking state is maintaining the unlocking state or from the locking state to the unlocking state.
