It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a wire-controlled steering system, comprising:
[0033] Redundant steering angle torque sensor is used to detect the driver's steering angle torque signal. Through the use of redundant design, even if one set of sensors fails, the system can still obtain data through another set of sensors to ensure the continuity and safety of steering control. It is suitable for various harsh driving conditions, such as extreme weather or complex road conditions.
[0034] Redundant steering angle sensors are used to detect steering wheel angle signals. The use of redundant sensors can effectively prevent single point failures and improve the overall reliability and stability of the system. This design is particularly critical in autonomous vehicles, ensuring that the vehicle can still perform steering operations safely when a sensor fails.
[0035] The road sense motor controller is connected to the redundant corner torque sensor and the redundant angle sensor, and executes the road sense simulation strategy according to the angle torque signal and the angle signal; this controller can adjust the steering feedback in real time according to the driver's operating force and angle, providing a more realistic driving experience. In high-performance sports cars and racing cars, the precise execution of the road sense simulation strategy can significantly improve the driver's control and safety.
[0036] The steering actuator controller is connected to the redundant steering angle sensor and executes the steering control strategy according to the steering angle signal; the efficient response of the steering actuator controller can ensure that the vehicle can accurately execute the steering command under any driving conditions. In city driving and highway driving, this precise control is crucial to avoid accidents and improve driving comfort.
[0037] The emergency connection device realizes the mechanical connection between the road sense simulation device and the steering actuator when at least one of the redundant angle torque sensors and redundant angle sensors fails. The activation of the emergency connection device can restore the traditional mechanical steering when the electronic system fails completely, ensuring that the vehicle can still be controlled in an emergency. It is suitable for all vehicles equipped with a wire-controlled steering system, especially in autonomous driving vehicles that rely on electronic control, providing a reliable backup solution.
[0038] The vehicle controller outputs the vehicle speed signal to the road sensor motor controller and the steering actuator controller; the integrated design of the vehicle controller can ensure the information synchronization between the vehicle systems and improve the overall coordination and safety. In the intelligent transportation system, the vehicle controller can interact with external information to achieve a higher level of autonomous driving function.
[0039] The road sense motor controller and steering actuator controller include failure detection logic. When the redundant angle torque sensor and redundant angle sensor fail to verify each other's signals, the warning flag is raised and the control strategy is switched according to the failure of the sensor signal. This logic design can detect sensor failure at the first time and adjust the control strategy in time to avoid potential safety risks. It is suitable for all vehicles using wire control steering technology, especially in autonomous vehicles, and can quickly respond to sensor failures to ensure vehicle safety.
[0040] Optionally, the specific algorithm for processing the speed signal limit value in the wire-controlled steering system includes dynamically adjusting the limit value based on the speed signal, and automatically adjusting the limit value to a preset safety range when the redundant angle sensor signal fails. This dynamic adjustment mechanism can adjust the range of steering control according to the actual driving speed of the vehicle, avoid the risk of oversteering caused by sensor failure when driving at high speed, and ensure driving safety. It is suitable for highway driving and high-speed autonomous driving scenarios, and can effectively reduce the risk of loss of control due to sensor failure.
[0041] Optionally, the emergency connection device includes a built-in electromagnetic clutch and a mechanical locking mechanism. When the sensor signal fails, the electromagnetic clutch is activated, and the mechanical locking mechanism ensures a reliable mechanical connection between the road sense simulation device and the steering actuator. This design can quickly switch to the mechanical connection mode when the electronic system fails, providing the driver with direct steering control and ensuring that the vehicle can be driven safely in any situation. It is suitable for all steer-by-wire vehicles, especially in autonomous vehicles, providing necessary backup for the electronic system and ensuring driving safety.
[0042] Optionally, the specific algorithms for adjusting the road feel simulation strategy and steering control strategy include interpolation, which is used to estimate and complete the steering command based on the signals of another set of sensors when a single sensor signal fails. The application of the interpolation method can make reasonable predictions using existing data when a sensor fails, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the steering operation. It is applicable to all wire-controlled steering systems, especially in autonomous vehicles, and can effectively deal with sensor failures and maintain stable driving of the vehicle.
[0043] Optionally, the flag pull-up logic includes independent warning flags and error flags. The warning flag is activated when the signal abnormality is initially detected, and the error flag is activated when the signal failure is confirmed. The two have different triggering conditions to distinguish between minor abnormalities and serious faults. This logic design can more finely identify the system status and report abnormal conditions to the driver or the autonomous driving system in a timely manner to avoid misoperation caused by inaccurate information. It is applicable to all wire-controlled steering systems using redundant sensors, especially in autonomous vehicles, and can provide more accurate information for system decision-making and enhance safety.
[0044] Optionally, the redundant mechanism of the redundant angle sensor and redundant angle torque sensor includes at least two groups of sensors, one group is the main sensor and the other group is the backup sensor. When the main sensor signal fails, the system automatically switches to the backup sensor. This mechanism can seamlessly switch to the backup sensor when the main sensor fails, ensuring the continuity and safety of steering control. It is applicable to all wire control steering systems, especially in autonomous vehicles, and can effectively deal with sensor failures and maintain stable driving of the vehicle.
[0045] Optionally, the torque verification method includes real-time comparison of the difference between the two sets of sensor signals. When the difference exceeds the preset threshold, the verification logic is triggered to determine the reliability of the signal. This verification method can detect abnormalities in sensor data in a timely manner and avoid steering control errors caused by signal errors. It is suitable for all wire-controlled steering systems, especially in autonomous vehicles, to ensure the accurate execution of steering commands and improve driving safety.
[0046] The optional redundant displacement sensor algorithm converts the rack travel signal into the steering angle signal, including a feedback loop based on PID control to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the converted signal. The introduction of PID control can improve the accuracy and response speed of signal conversion, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of steering operation. It is suitable for all steer-by-wire systems, especially in autonomous vehicles, to ensure the accurate execution of steering commands and improve driving safety.

[0053] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a control method of a wire-controlled steering system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0054] Step S101, detecting the driver's steering angle torque signal and the steering wheel's steering angle signal; through the redundant sensor signal detection, the accuracy and reliability of the steering command can be ensured under any driving conditions. It is applicable to all steer-by-wire vehicles, especially in autonomous driving vehicles, and can ensure the continuity and safety of steering control.
[0055] Step S102, execute the road feeling simulation strategy and steering control strategy; adjust the steering feedback in real time according to the driver's operating force and angle to provide a more realistic driving experience.

In the intelligent transportation system, this information synchronization mechanism can support a higher level of autonomous driving functions.
[0058] Step S105, execute the failure detection logic. When the signal mutual verification fails, the warning flag is raised and the control strategy is changed according to the failure of the sensor signal. This logic design can detect sensor failure at the first time and adjust the control strategy in time to avoid potential safety risks. It is suitable for all vehicles using wire control steering technology, especially in autonomous vehicles, and can quickly respond to sensor failures to ensure vehicle safety.
[0059] The wire-controlled steering system and control method of the present application significantly improve the safety and reliability of the system by adopting redundant sensors and emergency mechanical connections. In the event of sensor signal failure, the system can respond quickly to ensure that the driver's control instructions are accurately executed, and at the same time effectively avoid potential dangers through limit value processing and control strategy adjustment. In addition, the independent warning flag and error flag design can more accurately identify and respond to system anomalies, further enhancing the safety performance of the system. On the whole, this solution not only improves the driving experience, but also provides a solid foundation for the development of autonomous driving technology, thereby solving the technical problem that the wire-controlled steering system will not work in extreme cases where redundant signals fail in related technologies.
[0060] Optionally, the specific steps of processing the vehicle speed signal limit value in the control method include dynamically adjusting the limit value, and when a signal failure is detected, the limit value is automatically adjusted to a preset safety range.
[0061] Optionally, the startup logic of the emergency connection device includes activating a built-in electromagnetic clutch and a mechanical locking mechanism to form a reliable mechanical connection when a sensor signal failure is detected.

[0066] Optionally, the specific step of converting the rack travel signal into the rotation angle signal in the control method includes converting based on a feedback loop of PID control to improve the accuracy and real-time performance of the signal.
[0067] Exemplarily, the control method provided by the present invention performs the following steps:
[0068] Step 1: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal and the redundant steering angle torque sensor angle and torque signals are normal, the steer-by-wire system normally executes the road feel simulation strategy and steering execution strategy without raising any flags and without limiting the received vehicle speed value.
[0069] Step 2: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, the redundant steering angle torque sensor steering angle signal is normal and one torque signal fails, the road sense simulation controller can receive three torque signals at this time, two of which are normal signals. The road sense simulation controller recombines the other signal and the complementary signals of the remaining two torque signals into a group of signals. In this way, the redundant steering angle torque sensor can still output two groups of torque signals, but the controller pulls up the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque warning flag to remind the driver that the redundant steering angle torque sensor is abnormal at this time. Please replace parts in time to ensure driving safety.
[0070] Step three: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, the redundant steering angle torque sensor steering angle signal is normal and the two torque signals fail, the road sense simulation controller can receive two signals at this time. If the two complementary torque signals are received by the road sense simulation controller, the two torques are a group of signals at this time, and the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque warning flag is pulled high, and the received vehicle speed value is not limited; if two non-complementary torque signals are received by the road sense simulation controller, the road sense simulation controller changes the torque verification method, recalculates the two signals and outputs a group of signals, pulls high the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque warning flag, and does not limit the received vehicle speed value.
[0071] Step 4: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, the redundant steering angle torque sensor steering angle signal is normal and three or four torque signals fail, the torque signals cannot form mutual verification between signals. If the signal is disturbed and the value suddenly changes, serious consequences will occur. At this time, the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque error flag is raised, and the road feel simulation strategy of the wire-controlled steering system executes the default strategy, that is, the driver maintains a certain road feel according to the steering angle range to prevent the driver from finding the center position.
[0072] Step 5: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, one steering angle or two steering angle signals of the redundant steering torque sensor in the same group fail and the torque signal is normal, the road sense simulation controller can receive a set of signals at this time, pull up the steering angle warning flag of the redundant steering torque sensor, and do not limit the received vehicle speed value.
[0073] Step 6: When the redundant angle sensor is normal, one angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail and one torque signal fails, the redundant angle torque sensor torque and angle warning flags are raised, and the received vehicle speed value is not limited.
[0074] Step 7: When the redundant angle sensor is normal, one angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail and both torque signals fail, the redundant angle torque sensor torque and angle warning flags are raised, and the received vehicle speed value is not limited.
[0075] Step 8: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, one steering angle signal or two steering angle signals of the same group of redundant steering angle torque sensors fail and three or four torque signals fail, the redundant steering angle torque sensor steering angle warning flag is raised, the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque error flag is raised, and the road feel simulation strategy of the steer-by-wire system executes the default strategy, that is, the driver is kept at a certain road feel according to the steering angle range to prevent the driver from finding the center position.
[0076] Step nine: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, two, three or four steering angle signals of different groups of redundant steering angle torque sensors fail and the torque signal is normal, the steering angle error flag of the redundant steering angle torque sensor is pulled high, the control-by-wire system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device to ensure normal driving.
[0077] Step 10: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, two, three or four steering angle signals of different groups of redundant steering angle torque sensors fail and one torque signal fails, the torque warning flag of the redundant steering angle torque sensor is pulled high, the steering angle error flag of the redundant steering angle torque sensor is pulled high, the control-by-wire system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0078] Step 11: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, two, three or four steering angle signals of different groups of redundant steering angle torque sensors fail and two torque signals fail, the torque warning flag of the redundant steering angle torque sensor is pulled high, the steering angle error flag of the redundant steering angle torque sensor is pulled high, the control-by-wire system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0079] Step 12: When the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, two, three or four steering angle signals of different groups of redundant steering angle torque sensors fail, and three or four torque signals fail, the steering angle and torque error flags of the redundant steering angle torque sensors are pulled high, the control-by-wire system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0080] Step 13: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail and the angle and torque signals of the redundant angle torque sensor are normal, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, and the wire-controlled steering system executes the road feel simulation strategy and steering execution strategy normally without limiting the received vehicle speed value.
[0081] Step 14: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail, and the angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor is normal and one torque signal fails, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, and the redundant angle torque sensor torque warning flag is pulled high.
[0082] Step 15: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail, and the angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor is normal and two torque signals fail, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, and the redundant angle torque sensor torque warning flag is pulled high.
[0083] Step 16: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail, the angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor is normal and three or four torque signals fail, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high and the redundant angle torque sensor torque error flag is pulled high, and the road feel simulation strategy of the wire-controlled steering system executes the default strategy.
[0084] Step 17: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals of the same group fail, or one corner signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two corner signals of the same group fail and the torque signal is normal, pull up the redundant angle sensor warning flag and pull up the redundant angle torque sensor angle warning flag.
[0085] Step 18: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail, one angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail and one torque signal fails, pull up the redundant angle sensor warning flag, and pull up the redundant angle torque sensor torque and angle warning flags.
[0086] Step 19: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail, one angle signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two angle signals of the same group fail and both torque signals fail, pull up the redundant angle sensor warning flag, and pull up the redundant angle torque sensor torque and angle warning flags.
[0087] Step 20: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail, one corner signal of the redundant angle torque sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail and three or four torque signals fail, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, the angle warning flag of the redundant angle torque sensor is pulled high, the torque error flag of the redundant angle torque sensor is pulled high, and the road feel simulation strategy of the wire-controlled steering system executes the default strategy.
[0088] Step 21: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail, and two, three or four corner signals of different groups of redundant angle torque sensors fail but the torque signals are normal, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor angle error flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0089] Step 22: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail, two, three or four corner signals of different groups of redundant angle torque sensors fail and one torque signal fails, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor angle error flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor torque warning flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0090] Step 23: When one corner signal of the redundant angle sensor or two corner signals in the same group fail, two, three or four corner signals of different groups of redundant angle torque sensors fail and two torque signals fail, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor angle error flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor torque warning flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0091] Step 24: When one angle signal of the redundant angle sensor or two angle signals in the same group fail, two angle signals of different groups of the redundant angle torque sensor fail, and three or four torque signals fail, the redundant angle sensor warning flag is pulled high, the redundant angle torque sensor angle and torque error flags are pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device.
[0092] Step 25: When two different groups or three or four corner signals of the redundant steering angle sensor fail, the redundant steering angle sensor error flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, and the road feel simulation controller outputs a control signal to control the emergency connection device to achieve a mechanical connection between the road feel simulation device and the steering execution device to ensure normal driving.
[0093] Step 26: When a vehicle speed signal fails, raise the vehicle speed warning flag and perform the above 25 steps normally.
[0094] Step 27: When the two vehicle speed signals fail, the vehicle speed error flag is raised, the received vehicle speed signal is limited, and the above 25 steps are executed normally.
[0095] It should be noted that, in the above steps, if only the corresponding warning flag is pulled high, it only serves as a warning and does not affect the functions of the wire control steering system, but the driver should go to the service station for repair in time; if the error flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road sense simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, preventing some normal signals from being received by the controller and executing the corresponding control strategy, causing the driver's driving intention to be contrary to the action of the strategy execution, affecting driving safety. At the same time, after the road sense simulation controller detects that the corresponding error flag is pulled high, the road sense simulation controller outputs the corresponding current by controlling the corresponding interface to make the emergency connection device work, realize the connection between the road sense simulation column and the steering actuator, and ensure that the vehicle still has the steering function; for limiting the received vehicle speed value, because the power strategy, return strategy, mid-position compensation strategy, and damping strategy of the road sense simulation device are all current values obtained by interpolation method in combination with the vehicle speed and the corresponding parameters, the road sense simulation strategy is limited by limiting the vehicle speed value to ensure that the steering wheel has a certain road sense.
[0096] Reference Figure 3 , an example of failure detection logic:

[0098] It is understandable that when the driver is driving the vehicle, if the redundant steering angle sensor is normal, the redundant steering angle torque sensor steering angle signal is normal and three or four torque signals fail, the redundant steering angle torque sensor torque error flag is pulled high, the wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, the received speed value is limited, and at the same time, the road feel simulation controller detects that the corresponding error flag is pulled high, and the road feel simulation controller outputs the corresponding current by controlling the corresponding interface to make the emergency connection device work, realize the connection between the road feel simulation column and the steering actuator, and ensure that the vehicle still has a steering function. The wire control system does not execute the road feel simulation strategy and the steering execution strategy, that is, the output current of the road feel simulation column and the steering actuator is zero, so as to prevent some strategies from being executable and interfering with the driver's correct decision-making intention, thereby ensuring normal driving.
