Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a method for estimating the friction of a steer-by-wire system, belonging to the technical field of steer-by-wire system control of vehicles. BACKGROUND

[0002] Steer-by-wire system (SBW) is a new product of steering system development, which has the trend of replacing electric power steering system (EPS) in the future. It realizes the decoupling between the wheels and the steering wheel, and arranges sensors such as displacement sensors and torque sensors, and shares data in real time through CAN bus, so as to have the characteristics of fast control response and variable transmission ratio, which is consistent with the development trend of high intelligence and integration of automobiles in the future.

[0003] Since the SBW system cancels the intermediate shaft of steering, the driver cannot perceive the road feel information, which is very important for the driver to drive the vehicle safely. Therefore, the road feel motor needs to simulate the road feel. At present, there are many studies on road feel simulation, most of which can better feedback the information from the ground and improve the driving confidence of the driver. However, road feel simulation should not only consider the feedback information from the ground, but also include the inherent properties of the steering system, such as inertia, damping and friction, etc. Among them, friction is a complex and variable property of the system, and most studies only briefly consider the system friction. Friction exists in each part of the steer-by-wire system. The friction of the upper turning module can be directly perceived by the driver, while the friction of the lower turning module cannot be directly fed back to the steering wheel. In order to make the feel of the steer-by-wire system closer to that of the traditional steering system, the friction of the lower turning module needs to be compensated. The simplest way is to load a force sensor in the lower turning (i.e. steering actuator) to measure the friction of the steering actuator in real time, and then feed back to the steering wheel through the road feel motor. However, this increases the manufacturing cost, and due to the many variable factors, the error of real-time measurement is large, so establishing a fixed friction model to estimate the friction force is a feasible way. In addition, the friction at the upper turning (i.e. steering wheel assembly) should support the individual selection of the driver. The driver should be able to choose whether to perceive or filter it, so as to improve the steering feel.

[0004] Therefore, when simulating the road feel of the steer-by-wire system, the friction characteristics of the system should be considered, so as to simulate the road feel closer to the traditional steering system. SUMMARY

[0080] S2 is specifically:

[0081] Establish a friction estimation model of the up-conversion steering wheel assembly, since the up-conversion motion is rotation, the rotational motion needs to be considered in the friction model, at this time the generated friction is friction torque, the LuGre friction model is established as:

[0082]

[0083] In the formula, s0 is the bristle stiffness coefficient; s1 is the bristle damping coefficient; T c is the Coulomb friction torque; T s is the maximum static friction torque; is the Stribeck speed; s2 is the bristle viscous friction coefficient; represents the Stribeck effect; is the relative rotational speed of the contact surface; T f is the LuGre friction torque of up-conversion; z is the average deformation of the bristles of the contact surface.

[0086] Further, the identification of the static parameters is performed, when the relative motion between the objects is in a steady state, that is, in a uniform motion stage, at this time dz / dt = 0, the bristle deformation does not change, at this time the friction characteristics are determined by the static parameters. The expression of the LuGre friction model becomes:

[0087]

[0088] The above formula is obtained by combining:

[0089]

[0090] According to the positive and negative of the speed, the following can be obtained:

[0091]

[0092] S3.1, the genetic algorithm is used to identify the static parameters of the upper friction model, and the parameter identification needs to be based on the actual measured Stribeck curve. The main process is as shown in Figure 2 , and the main process is as follows:

[0093] (1) First, the evolution number is initialized, that is, t = 0, and the population is randomly initialized, that is, the static parameters of random values are generated;

[0094] (2) The individual fitness f1 is evaluated, so as to evaluate the difference between the identified friction torque and the actual friction torque;

[0095] (3) If t reaches the maximum evolution number, the algorithm is terminated, otherwise, go to (4);

[0096] (4) The optimal individual is generated by screening the individual fitness, and a new generation population is formed;

[0097] (5) The crossover operation is performed with a random probability to generate a new population;

[0098] (6) The individual mutation operation is performed with a random probability to generate a new population;

[0099] (7) Set t + 1→t, go to step (2) and iterate.

[0100] The identified value of the static friction parameter after each iteration of the genetic algorithm is:

[0101]

[0102] The corresponding identified value of the friction torque is obtained from the following formula:

[0103]

[0104] where i = 1, 2, 3, ···, N, and N is the total number of points on the Stribeck curve.

[0105] The identification error is:

[0107] where T fi is obtained from the actual Stribeck curve.

[0108] The objective function is:

[0109]

[0110] The individual fitness function is selected:

[0113] S3.2, The identification of dynamic parameters is based on the measurement of pre-sliding displacement, at this time the system motion belongs to the micro category. At this time:

[0114]

[0115] Therefore, the friction model becomes:

[0116]

[0117] Taking s2 in the static parameter identification result as a known condition, similarly, the genetic algorithm identifies s0 and s1, and the steps are similar to the static parameter identification. The identified value of the static friction parameter after each iteration is:

[0118]

[0123] S3.3, the magnetic resistance torque of the road feeling motor output for offsetting the friction torque after the driver's personalized selection is:

[0124] T ef1 =-ηT f

[0125] Wherein, η is the personalized coefficient of the driver, the greater the value indicates that the driver feels the smaller friction torque; The driver's personalized selection mainly shows the strength of the friction torque perception, if you need to perceive strong, you can adjust the personalized coefficient low, at this time the motor will not too offset the friction torque.

[0126] The S4 is specifically: the friction estimation model of the down-turn steering actuator assembly is established, since the down-turn motion is translation, the friction generated at this time is friction force, and the LuGre friction model is established as:

[0127]

[0128] Wherein, s3 is the bristle stiffness coefficient; S4 is the bristle damping coefficient; F c is the coulomb friction force; F s is the maximum static friction force; v s is the Stribeck speed; s5 is the bristle viscous friction coefficient; g(v) is the Stribeck effect; v is the relative speed of the contact surface; F f is the LuGre friction force at the upturn; z is the average deformation of the bristles of the contact surface.

[0129] Confirm the parameter values in the friction model, for the six parameters in the model, F c , F s , v s and s5 are defined as static parameters, which determine the characteristics of dynamic friction, and s3 and s4 are defined as dynamic parameters, which determine the characteristics of static friction.

[0130] Further, the static parameter identification is carried out, when the relative motion between objects is in a steady state, that is, in a uniform motion stage, at this time dz / dt=0, the bristle deformation does not change, at this time the friction characteristics are determined by the static parameters. The expression of LuGre friction model becomes:

[0131] The above formula is solved simultaneously to obtain:

[0132]

[0133]

[0134] The positive and negative of the speed are considered separately to obtain:

[0135]

[0136] The S5 is specifically:

[0137] S5.1, the genetic algorithm is used to identify the static parameters of the down-turn friction model, and the Stribeck curve actually measured is used as the basis. The steps and the direction of the steering wheel assembly are consistent with the friction force parameter identification.

[0138] The identification value of the static friction parameter obtained by the genetic algorithm after each iteration is:

[0139]

[0140] The corresponding friction identification value is obtained by the following formula:

[0141]

[0142] Where, i = 1, 2, 3, ···, N, N is the total number of points on the Stribeck curve.

[0143] The identification error is:

[0144]

[0145] Where, F fi The actual Stribeck curve is obtained.

[0146] The objective function is:

[0147]

[0148] The individual fitness function is selected:

[0149]

[0150] After continuous iteration and screening, the static parameters closest to the actual Stribeck curve can be obtained.

[0151] S5.2, the genetic algorithm is used to identify the dynamic parameters of the down-turn friction model, which is based on the measurement of the pre-sliding displacement, at this time the system movement belongs to the micro category. At this time:

[0152]

[0153] Thus the friction model becomes:

[0154]

[0155] With s5 in the static parameter identification result as a known condition, similarly, the genetic algorithm identifies s3 and s4, and the steps are similar to the static parameter identification. The identification value of the static friction parameter obtained by each iteration is:

[0156]

[0157] The corresponding friction identification value is obtained by the following formula:

[0158]

[0159] The identification error, the objective function, and the individual fitness function are all set to be consistent with the static parameter identification process.

[0160] Finally, the identified dynamic and static parameters are substituted into the LuGre friction model to obtain the friction model representing the friction of the lower turning actuator, and the road feel torque generated by the friction can be obtained by the transmission ratio conversion, that is:

[0161] T ef2 = F f / G

[0162] In the formula: F f is the estimated friction, and G is the transmission ratio from the lower turn to the upper turn.

[0163] S6, the friction feedback torques of the upper turn and the lower turn are superimposed to obtain the friction torque of the steer-by-wire system that the road feel motor needs to simulate:
