Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a method for evaluating the steering angle accuracy of a kingpin steering system, a vehicle, and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mainstream kingpin steering systems use motor-driven steering. The main controller sends the target steering angle to the kingpin steering controller via bus or other communication methods. The kingpin steering controller then controls the motor's output shaft to rotate to the target angle, and the power from the output shaft is transmitted to the output end through a gear transmission mechanism. Because the mechanical transmission mechanism of the kingpin steering system is relatively complex, the steering angle performance varies under different load conditions. Currently, there is no accurate verification method to determine whether the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system meets the requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The ratio of the preset target angle value to the corresponding actual rotation angle value is determined to be a first value, and the total number of the first values ​​is equal to the product of the number of preset torque values ​​and the number of preset speed values;

[0008] When the first value is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, the first value is deemed to be qualified, and the first threshold is greater than the second threshold.

[0009] When the ratio of the number of qualified first values ​​to the total number of first values ​​is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system is deemed qualified.

[0010] The method for evaluating the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention, through measuring the ratio of a preset target angle value to the actual steering angle value of the kingpin steering system under multiple preset operating conditions, determines whether the steering accuracy of the kingpin steering system is qualified based on the number of qualified ratios. This can make the determination result more accurate and is beneficial for determining whether the kingpin steering system meets the requirements.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of the preset target angle values ​​constitute an increasing and sequentially arranged first arithmetic sequence, a second arithmetic sequence, and a third arithmetic sequence.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the tolerance range of the first arithmetic sequence is 1.5° to 2.5°, and the tolerance range of the second arithmetic sequence is 0.75° to 1.25°.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, multiple preset speed values ​​constitute a fourth arithmetic sequence, wherein the common difference of the fourth arithmetic sequence is the product of the maximum speed value of the kingpin steering system and a second coefficient.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second coefficient ranges from 0.05 to 0.2.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of the preset torque values ​​constitute a fifth arithmetic sequence, wherein the common difference of the fifth arithmetic sequence is the product of the maximum output torque value of the kingpin steering system and a third coefficient.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the third coefficient ranges from 0.01 to 0.05.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first threshold is 1.001, the second threshold is 0.999, and the third threshold ranges from 0.997 to 0.999.

[0021] The kingpin steering system according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] Since the steering angle accuracy evaluation method of the kingpin steering system according to the first aspect embodiment is used to determine that the steering angle accuracy is qualified and the determination result is relatively accurate, the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system is guaranteed to be relatively precise.

[0023] A vehicle according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a kingpin steering system according to a second aspect of the present invention.

[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0041] Reference Figure 2The diagram illustrates a kingpin steering system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The kingpin steering system is applied to the steering system of a vehicle. The kingpin steering system includes a power input mechanism 100, a first transmission mechanism 200, a second transmission mechanism 300, and a power output mechanism 400 connected in sequence. The power input mechanism 100 is used to input rotational power and includes a motor 110 and a worm gear 120. The output shaft of the motor 110 is connected to the worm gear 120. The first transmission mechanism 200 includes a worm gear 210 and a first gear 220, which are coaxially arranged. The worm gear 210 is connected to the worm gear 120. The second transmission mechanism 300 includes a second gear 310 and a third gear 320. The second gear 310 meshes with the first gear 220, and the third gear 320 is coaxially arranged with the second gear 310. The power output mechanism 400 is configured as a sector gear, which is coaxially arranged with the second gear 310. When the output shaft of the motor 110 drives the worm gear 120 to rotate, the worm gear 120 drives the turbine 210 to rotate, the turbine 210 drives the first gear 220 to rotate, the first gear 220 drives the second gear 310 to rotate, the second gear 310 drives the third gear 320 and the sector gear to rotate synchronously, and the sector gear outputs rotational power, thereby driving the vehicle's tires to steer.

[0042] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the kingpin steering system may also employ other different transmission mechanisms to achieve steering transmission.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the method for evaluating the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400 and S500.

[0044] Step S100: Set multiple preset torque values, multiple preset speed values, multiple preset target angle values, and multiple preset operating conditions. The preset operating conditions are determined by a preset torque value and a preset speed value.

[0045] It should be noted that in this step, multiple different preset torque values, multiple different preset speed values, and multiple different preset target angle values ​​are first set. One preset torque value and one preset speed value define a preset operating condition. For two different preset operating conditions, at least one preset torque value or one preset speed value must be different. Additionally, a torsion actuator is required during testing. The torsion actuator outputs torque to the output end of the kingpin steering system and measures the actual rotation angle of the kingpin steering system's output end. Before use, the torque and rotation angle of the torsion actuator must be calibrated, and its parameters adjusted to an accuracy of 0.001° and 0.001 Nm or higher. The torsion actuator acts on the power output mechanism 400 of the kingpin steering system.

[0046] Step S200: Input multiple preset working conditions into the kingpin steering system. Under each preset working condition, input multiple preset target angle values ​​into the kingpin steering system and measure the multiple actual steering angle values ​​output by the kingpin steering system.

[0047] It should be noted that in this step, the kingpin steering system is installed on a test bench in the actual vehicle state for simulation experiments. First, the kingpin steering system is fixed to operate under a certain preset working condition, which corresponds to a preset torque value and a preset speed value. The torque input of the torsion actuator is set to the preset torque value, and the speed of the motor of the power input mechanism is set to the preset speed value. Then, all the preset target angle values ​​set in step S100 are input to the motor of the power input mechanism. After the motor drives the rotation angle, the actual rotation angle value output by the output end of the kingpin steering system is measured by the torsion actuator. Finally, a large amount of actual rotation angle value data can be obtained.

[0048] Step S300: Determine the ratio of the preset target angle value to the corresponding actual rotation angle value as the first value. The total number of the first values ​​is equal to the product of the number of preset torque values ​​and the number of preset speed values.

[0049] It should be noted that a large amount of initial numerical data can be obtained in this step, and the accuracy of the system's turning angle can be determined based on the initial numerical data.

[0050] Step S400: When the first value is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, the first value is deemed qualified, and the first threshold is greater than the second threshold.

[0051] It should be noted that in this step, when the first value is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than or equal to the second threshold, it means that the output of a specific steering angle under a certain preset working condition corresponding to the first value is relatively accurate and meets the requirements. When there are a large number of qualified first values, it means that the steering angle of the kingpin steering system is relatively accurate.

[0052] Step S500: When the ratio of the number of qualified first values ​​to the total number of first values ​​is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system is determined to be qualified.

[0053] In this embodiment, a method for verifying whether the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system is qualified is proposed. Specifically, the steering performance of the kingpin steering system under multiple different preset working conditions is measured and its steering performance is evaluated. This method can determine more accurately whether the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system meets the requirements. The first threshold, the second threshold, and the third threshold can be adaptively set according to the actual accuracy requirements. When the accuracy requirements of steering performance are high, the difference between the first threshold and the second threshold is small, and the difference between the third threshold and 1 is small.

[0054] It should be noted that the kingpin steering system provided in this embodiment of the invention is judged to have good steering angle accuracy by the above-mentioned evaluation method.

[0055] In some embodiments, multiple preset target angle values ​​constitute an increasing and sequentially arranged first arithmetic sequence, second arithmetic sequence, and third arithmetic sequence. The terms in these arithmetic sequences are the preset target angle values. The common difference of the first arithmetic sequence is the same as the common difference of the third arithmetic sequence. The common difference of the first arithmetic sequence is greater than the common difference of the second arithmetic sequence; that is, the difference between two adjacent terms in the first arithmetic sequence is greater than the difference between two adjacent terms in the second arithmetic sequence. The largest term in the first arithmetic sequence is less than or equal to a fourth threshold. The terms in the second arithmetic sequence are between the fourth and fifth thresholds. The smallest term in the third arithmetic sequence is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold. The fifth threshold is equal to the product of the maximum steering angle of the kingpin steering system and the first coefficient. The fourth threshold is negative, and its absolute value is equal to the fifth threshold. The maximum steering angle refers to the maximum angle value that the input end of the kingpin steering system can accept. Since the input end of the kingpin steering system can accept forward or reverse input, controlling the wheels to swing left or right, the maximum steering angle range of the kingpin steering system is from negative to positive. For example, the maximum steering angle range of the kingpin steering system is -40° to 40°.

[0056] For further explanation, refer to Figure 3 The diagram shown can be interpreted as a distribution of the steering angle range of the kingpin steering system. It illustrates the range of rotation to the left or right around point O, starting from the 0° line. This can also be understood as the steering angle range of the vehicle's tires. For the kingpin steering system to function properly, multiple preset target angle values ​​should be selected within the steering angle range shown in the diagram. When rotating to the left from the 0° line, the rotation angle is negative, with the extreme position having an angle of -A. max When rotating to the right from the 0° line, the rotation angle is positive, and the rotation angle at the extreme position is A. max If we don't consider positive or negative signs, A max This can be understood as the maximum steering angle of the kingpin steering system. Among them, -A max The absolute value of A is equal to max The fourth threshold mentioned above is equal to -a*A. maxThe fifth threshold mentioned above is equal to a*A max Where 'a' is the first coefficient, a is less than 1 and greater than 0, and 'a' is preferably 0.68. This can be understood as... Figure 3 The turning angle range is divided into three regions: W1, W2, and W3. These three regions are symmetrical about the 0° line. The first arithmetic sequence mentioned above falls within the W1 region, the second arithmetic sequence falls within the W2 region, and the third arithmetic sequence falls within the W3 region. In this way, the selected preset target angle value can better cover the entire turning angle range, making the final judgment result more accurate. In addition, the common difference between the first and third arithmetic sequences is large in the W1 and W3 regions, that is, the difference between two adjacent preset target angle values ​​selected in these two regions is large.

[0057] It should be noted that during normal driving, when a vehicle is traveling at high speed, a high degree of turning accuracy is required to ensure safety. However, when a vehicle is traveling at high speed, the steering angle of the wheels is relatively small, and it is unlikely to turn to the extreme position. When the steering angle of the wheels is large, the vehicle is generally turning slowly. Therefore, in practical applications, the turning accuracy requirement is lower near the extreme position, while the turning accuracy requirement is higher near the 0° line. This embodiment can appropriately reduce the number of preset target angle values ​​in the W1 and W3 regions. The range of preset target angle values ​​selected in the W1 and W3 regions is relatively large, while the range of preset target angle values ​​selected in the W2 region is relatively small and the number is relatively large. This can improve the accuracy of the final evaluation result and speed up the calculation.

[0058] In some embodiments, the tolerance range of the first arithmetic sequence is 1.5° to 2.5°, preferably 2°. The tolerance range of the second arithmetic sequence is 0.75° to 1.25°, preferably 1°. This can be understood as follows: in regions W1 and W3, adjacent preset target angle values ​​are spaced 2° apart; in region W2, adjacent preset target angle values ​​are spaced 1° apart. This arrangement allows for a finer distribution of preset target angle values ​​within region W2, which is beneficial for improving the accuracy of the evaluation results.

[0059] In some embodiments, the aforementioned multiple preset speed values ​​constitute a fourth arithmetic sequence. The difference of the fourth arithmetic sequence is the product of the maximum speed value of the kingpin steering system and the second coefficient. The maximum speed value is the maximum speed value output by the motor of the kingpin steering system. This can be understood as selecting the aforementioned multiple preset speed values ​​within the maximum speed range of the motor output, which is quite reasonable.

[0060] In some embodiments, the range of the second coefficient is from 0.05 to 0.2, preferably 0.2. This can be understood as dividing the maximum speed range according to a certain ratio and selecting multiple preset speed values. This selection allows multiple preset speed values ​​to evenly cover the maximum speed range of the motor output, and can more comprehensively obtain the actual steering angle under various different speed conditions. Based on these steering angle data, it can be determined whether the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system meets the requirements, making the test results more accurate.

[0061] In some embodiments, multiple preset torque values ​​constitute a fifth arithmetic sequence. The difference of the fifth arithmetic sequence is the product of the maximum output torque value of the kingpin steering system and the third coefficient. The maximum output torque value can be understood as the maximum output capacity of the kingpin steering system, that is, the maximum torque value that the kingpin steering system can withstand.

[0062] In some embodiments, the third coefficient ranges from 0.01 to 0.05, preferably 0.05. This can be understood as dividing the maximum torque range that the kingpin steering system can withstand into a certain proportion and selecting multiple preset torque values. This selection allows the multiple preset torque values ​​to evenly cover the aforementioned maximum tolerable torque range, enabling a more comprehensive determination of the actual steering angle under various torque conditions. Based on these steering angle data, it can be determined whether the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system meets the requirements, making the test results more accurate.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first threshold is 1.001, the second threshold is 0.999, and the third threshold ranges from 0.997 to 0.999, preferably 0.995. This can be understood as follows: when the ratio of the number of qualified first values ​​to the total number of first values ​​exceeds 99.5%, the steering angle accuracy of the kingpin steering system is deemed qualified.

[0064] In some embodiments, before performing step S200, the power output mechanism 400 can be removed, the torsion actuator can be connected to the shaft of the second transmission mechanism 300, and the torque value output by the torsion actuator can be recalculated based on the product of the preset torque value and the corresponding transmission efficiency, before proceeding to the next steps. Similarly, in other embodiments, the second transmission mechanism 300 or the first transmission mechanism 200 can be removed, the torque value output by the torsion actuator can be recalculated based on the product of the preset torque value and the corresponding transmission efficiency, and then proceeding to the next steps. This operation in this embodiment allows for the independent verification of the angular output accuracy of each stage of the transmission mechanism, resulting in more accurate evaluation results.

[0065] This invention also provides a vehicle including the kingpin steering system described above. The kingpin steering system is deemed qualified by the steering angle accuracy evaluation method described above and can meet the operating conditions.

Vehicles can also be commercial vehicles, such as vans, buses, small trucks, or large semi-trailers. Vehicles can be gasoline-powered or new energy vehicles.
