Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the configuration of a vehicle suspension, and in particular to an electronic mechanical brake system control method, a control device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The anti-lock braking system converts the sliding friction between the wheels and the ground into static friction as much as possible when the vehicle brakes, thereby reducing the slippage of the vehicle during braking and improving driving safety. When the driver brakes the vehicle and triggers the anti-lock braking system function, some electronic mechanical braking system control methods generally reduce the clamping force on the wheel brake and control the clamping force within a certain range to prevent the wheel from slipping on the ground. This control method has poor control accuracy and affects the braking effect on the wheel. Some electronic mechanical braking systems calculate the slip rate based on the wheel speed and wheel deceleration, and control the slip rate within a single slip rate threshold to prevent the wheel from slipping on the ground. However, in actual driving, the slip rate of the wheel is affected by many factors, such as the adhesion coefficient of the road surface. When the wheel is driving on an environment with a high adhesion coefficient such as an asphalt road surface and driving on an environment with a low adhesion coefficient such as an ice and snow road, the slip rate of the wheel is different. A single slip rate threshold cannot meet the demand for reducing the possibility of wheel locking. In addition, if only a single slip rate threshold is set for judgment and then the clamping force is fed back to control, it means that the clamping force of the wheel is reduced only when the wheel is already in an unstable state. At this time, it is relatively late to reduce the clamping force, and the corresponding clamping force change will be greater, resulting in the change of the wheel slip rate always lagging behind the change of the wheel braking force, that is, the increase in wheel braking force will not immediately lead to an increase in wheel slip rate, and the reduction in wheel braking force will not immediately lead to a decrease in wheel slip rate. Therefore, the actual slip rate of the wheel cannot be controlled within a good range, and the actual wheel slip rate fluctuates significantly and the braking effect is relatively poor. Therefore, a precise and reliable control method for an electronic mechanical braking system is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic mechanical brake system control method, a control device and a vehicle to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] A method for controlling an electronic mechanical brake system according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention includes: Obtain the vehicle's wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed; Calculating an actual wheel slip rate and an unstable slip rate threshold according to the wheel speed, the wheel deceleration, the road adhesion coefficient and the driving speed; determining whether the actual slip rate of the wheel exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold; When the actual slip rate of the wheel exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, controlling to reduce the clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel until the actual slip rate of the wheel does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, and recording the current clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel as the non-slip braking force; The electromechanical braking system continuously brakes the wheel with the non-slip braking force for a preset time; The electromechanical brake system is controlled to increase the clamping force applied to the wheel brake, and the actual slip rate of the wheel is repeatedly determined to determine whether it exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold.

[0005] The technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: when braking a vehicle, the wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed of the vehicle are obtained. Since the wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed will affect the wheel slip rate in real time, the actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold are calculated according to the current wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed of the vehicle. When the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, it is necessary to reduce the clamping force of the electronic mechanical braking system on the wheel until the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, which is beneficial to ensuring driving safety. At this time, the clamping force of the current electronic mechanical braking system on the wheel is used to maintain the braking set time, so that the wheel is decelerated in a safe state. Since the electronic mechanical braking system is reduced The clamping force of the mechanical braking system on the wheel may be excessively reduced, and the wheel speed is reduced while maintaining the wheel clamping brake. At this time, the actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold value also change. In order to improve the braking efficiency, the clamping force on the wheel brake is controlled to increase to improve the braking effect on the wheel. In order to ensure driving safety, the above steps of judging whether the wheel actually exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold are repeated to ensure a quick response when the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 According to an electronic mechanical brake system control method of an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the method comprises but is not limited to the following steps: Step S100, obtaining the wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed of the vehicle. When the vehicle is driving, the vehicle information is obtained to update the vehicle status. Since the vehicle has different slip rates at different driving speeds and wheel rotation speeds, it is necessary to obtain the wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed information of the vehicle.

[0034] Step S200, calculating the actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold value according to the wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed. The actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold value are calculated using the acquired wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed information, so as to timely evaluate the driving stability of the current wheel.

[0035] Step S300, judging whether the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold. After the vehicle is braked, the current actual wheel slip rate can be compared with the unstable slip rate threshold of whether the vehicle will slip at this time to judge whether there is a risk of slipping during the current driving. When the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, the vehicle is at risk of slipping; when the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, the vehicle is not at risk of slipping.

[0036] When the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, the process proceeds to step S400, where the clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel is controlled to be reduced until the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, and the current clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel is recorded as the non-slip braking force. When the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, the vehicle's braking needs to be intervened. By reducing the clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel, the braking of the wheel is weakened, and the actual wheel slip rate is reduced to a level that does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, the risk of vehicle slip can be effectively reduced, which is conducive to ensuring driving safety.

[0037] Step S500, the electronic mechanical braking system brakes the wheel with a non-slip braking force and a preset time. After the wheel is braked for a period of time under a state where the clamping force does not cause the wheel to slip, the wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed are reduced. At this time, the unstable slip rate threshold also changes, and the wheel is not likely to slip. Step S600, control the electronic mechanical brake system to increase the clamping force on the wheel brake, and repeat step S300 to determine whether the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold. At this time, the clamping force on the wheel brake is increased on the basis of the non-slip braking force, and the wheel brake is continuously strengthened, and the actual wheel slip rate after the braking force is increased needs to be repeatedly judged, so as to improve the braking efficiency of the wheel while ensuring driving safety.

[0038] From the above, it can be seen that when the vehicle is braked, the wheel speed, wheel deceleration, road adhesion coefficient and driving speed of the vehicle are obtained. Since the wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed will affect the wheel slip rate in real time, the actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold are calculated according to the current wheel speed, wheel deceleration and driving speed of the vehicle. When the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, it is necessary to reduce the clamping force of the electronic mechanical braking system on the wheel until the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, which is conducive to ensuring driving safety. At this time, the clamping force of the current electronic mechanical braking system on the wheel is used to maintain the braking set time, so that the wheel is decelerated in a safe state. Since the electronic mechanical braking system is reduced The clamping force on the wheel may be excessively reduced, and the wheel speed is reduced while maintaining the wheel clamping brake. At this time, the actual wheel slip rate and the unstable slip rate threshold value also change. In order to improve the braking efficiency, the clamping force on the wheel brake is controlled to increase to improve the braking effect on the wheel. In order to ensure driving safety, the above steps of determining whether the wheel actually exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold are repeated to ensure a quick response when the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold. In this way, by constantly comparing the driving status of the vehicle during braking, the clamping force on the wheel brake can be adjusted in time to more accurately increase the wheel braking force while effectively controlling the actual slip rate of the vehicle within a safe range, thereby improving braking efficiency and safety.

[0039] In step S400, in order to better enable the vehicle to run stably after the braking force of the wheels is reduced, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, step S410 controls the reduction of the clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel until the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, and then enters step S420 to determine whether the wheel deceleration exceeds the preset wheel deceleration threshold. When the wheel deceleration exceeds the preset wheel deceleration threshold, step S430 is performed to record the current clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system on the wheel as the non-slip braking force. In this way, when judging whether the wheel is running stably, in addition to judging the slip rate, the requirement for wheel deceleration needs to be met. When the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable threshold, and the wheel deceleration exceeds the preset wheel deceleration threshold, it is judged that the wheel is in a stable state, and then the subsequent action of maintaining the current clamping force on the wheel for braking is performed.

[0040] In step S420, when the wheel deceleration does not exceed the preset wheel deceleration threshold, the process proceeds to step S500, where the electronic mechanical braking system brakes the wheel with a non-slip braking force and a preset time. When the clamping force does not cause the wheel to slip, when the wheel speed decreases, the corresponding wheel deceleration threshold is also reduced, so that the wheel deceleration generated by the current clamping force on the wheel exceeds the wheel deceleration threshold, thereby ensuring the stability of the wheel driving.

[0041] In step S300, when the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, there is no risk of slipping during the current vehicle braking, and the process may proceed to step S600 to control the electronic mechanical brake system to increase the clamping force on the wheel brake. In practical applications, when the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, the process may proceed to step S420 to determine whether the wheel deceleration exceeds the preset wheel deceleration threshold. When the wheel deceleration exceeds the preset wheel deceleration threshold, the process may proceed to step S600 to control the electronic mechanical brake system to increase the clamping force on the wheel brake. When the actual wheel slip rate does not exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, the clamping force on the wheel brake may be further increased, thereby enhancing the braking of the wheel.

[0042] In step S600, the electronic mechanical brake system is controlled to increase the clamping force on the wheel brake, such as Figure 3 As shown, including but not limited to the following steps: Step S610, recording the amount of reduction in the wheel clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system as the basic clamping force reduction amount. , is the wheel clamping force at the start, is the road adhesion coefficient, and are preset reference constants respectively. The reduction of basic clamping force is related to the wheel clamping force at the moment when the unstable condition is met, and the calculation formula is as follows: . is the basic clamping force reduction, is the wheel clamping force at the start time, c is a preset reference constant, which may be between 0.1 and 0.3, preferably 0.2; d is a preset reference constant, which may be between 0.05 and 0.2, preferably 0.1. is the road adhesion coefficient, and its value range can be between 0.01 and 1. For example, on an asphalt road, the road adhesion coefficient is about 0.8, and on an ice and snow road, the road adhesion coefficient is about 0.1. When the unstable condition is met, the current clamping force value is obtained, and the clamping force value can reflect the current road condition to a certain extent. The basic clamping force reduction is related to the clamping force value. When the road adhesion coefficient is higher, the wheel speed change is smaller than the wheel speed change on a low-adhesion road, so the required basic clamping force reduction is larger. When the road adhesion coefficient is lower, on the contrary, the wheel speed change is larger than the wheel speed change on a high-adhesion road, so the required basic clamping force reduction is smaller.

[0043] Step S620, control the increase of the non-slip braking force and record it as the adjusted clamping force, and the increase of the non-slip braking force is not greater than the reduction of the basic clamping force. Since the actual slip rate of the wheel when reducing the wheel clamping force exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold, that is, the wheel clamping force is too large at this time, the total clamping force reduction when the wheel clamping force is reduced to the non-slip braking force is recorded as the basic clamping force reduction. When the wheel clamping force needs to be increased, the clamping force is increased by no more than the basic force reduction on the basis of the non-slip braking force, so that the increase of the clamping force can be better controlled to avoid the situation where the clamping force is too large and causes the wheel to slip.

[0044] Step S630, controlling the electronic mechanical brake system to brake the wheel with the adjusted clamping force, that is, further increasing the clamping force to brake the wheel on the basis of the non-slip braking force, in an attempt to enhance the braking of the wheel and improve the braking efficiency.

[0045] When performing step S600, there may be a situation where a single increase in the clamping force causes the actual wheel slip rate to exceed the unstable slip rate threshold, or after a single increase in the clamping force, the actual wheel slip rate has not exceeded the unstable slip rate threshold, then the process will re-enter step S600 and perform the operation of increasing the clamping force again, so that step S600 will be performed multiple times, and the electronic mechanical brake system will be repeatedly controlled to increase the clamping force on the wheel to obtain multiple adjusted clamping forces, and the current adjusted clamping force is greater than the previous adjusted clamping force. In this way, the clamping force is gradually increased to form a step-by-step increase, which is conducive to avoiding the problem of a sudden increase in the slip rate due to an excessively fast increase in the clamping force, and improving the braking stability.

[0046] Furthermore, when the step S600 is executed multiple times, when the increase in the non-slip braking force reaches a preset increase threshold, the control is to reduce the increase in the non-slip braking force in the clamping force of the wheel brake that is increased by the next control of the electronic mechanical brake system. In this braking method, the increase in the wheel brake clamping force is large at the initial stage, and the wheel braking force can be quickly increased at this time. In the later stage, as the wheel brake clamping force gradually increases, the wheel is more likely to slip, so the increase in the wheel brake clamping force is reduced, so the accuracy of the clamping force control can be improved. For example, on the basis of the no-slip braking force, the clamping force is increased multiple times until the clamping force increases to 75% of the basic clamping force reduction. In this process, the increase in the clamping force is the initial stage, and the increase in the clamping force each time is relatively large. For example, the increase in the clamping force each time can be 0.1 to 0.3 of the basic clamping force reduction, and preferably, it can be 0.2 of the basic clamping force reduction; when the clamping force continues to be increased, the clamping force increases from 75% of the basic clamping force reduction to 100% of the basic clamping force reduction, for example, the increase in the clamping force each time can be 0.1 to 0.3 of the basic clamping force reduction, but the increase in the clamping force each time is less than the increase in the clamping force at the initial step, and preferably, it can be 0.15 of the basic clamping force reduction. This can improve the control of the step-by-step increase in the clamping force, thereby further improving the braking stability.

[0047] In step S200, the calculation formula of the actual wheel slip rate is: ,in, is the actual wheel slip rate, is the driving speed, is the wheel speed, a and b are both preset reference constants, a is between 0 and 10, preferably, a is 6, b is between 1 and 1.2, preferably, b is 1.1. In this calculation formula, when the driving speed is relatively low, the slip ratio obtained has a reduced effect, thereby allowing a larger slip ratio, thereby enhancing the braking force and improving the wheel deceleration. When the driving speed is relatively high, the slip ratio has an effect of amplifying, making the change of the slip ratio more sensitive, thereby requiring the braking force to be gradually reduced to improve the braking stability of the vehicle at high speed.

[0048] In step S200, a preset instability coefficient is first determined according to the road adhesion coefficient, and then an unstable slip rate threshold is calculated. The calculation formula of the unstable slip rate threshold is: ,in, is the unstable slip rate threshold, is the preset slip rate threshold, To preset the instability coefficient, is the wheel deceleration, The value of is generally between 0.005 and 0.02. The unstable slip rate threshold takes into account the change of wheel deceleration. Wheel deceleration reflects the speed of wheel speed change. If the wheel deceleration is too large, it means that the wheel speed changes very quickly, and the wheel can easily change from a stable state to an unstable state quickly. When the wheel deceleration is large, since the wheel deceleration is a negative value, the unstable slip rate threshold calculated in real time according to the above formula is relatively smaller, which can allow the wheel to recognize the possible unstable state in advance, reduce the clamping force in advance, and improve the braking effect. The speed of wheel speed change is related to the preset instability coefficient, and the adhesion coefficient of the road surface affects the preset instability coefficient. On low-adhesion roads such as ice and snow roads, the adhesion between the tire and the ground is very small, so the wheel is more likely to lock. A smaller braking force will produce a larger slip rate. It is necessary to set the unstable slip rate threshold lower and reduce the clamping force in advance. Therefore, a larger value of the preset instability coefficient is taken, so that the unstable slip rate threshold calculated according to the formula is lower, which is more conducive to control on low-adhesion roads and effectively solves the problem that a single slip rate threshold cannot be changed and adjusted according to different road environments.

[0049] The preset instability coefficient value is related to the road adhesion coefficient. When the road adhesion coefficient is less than 0.2, the preset instability coefficient value is 0.02; when the road adhesion coefficient is between 0.2 and 0.8, the preset instability coefficient value is 0.01; when the road adhesion coefficient is greater than 0.8, the preset instability coefficient value is 0.005.

[0050] Assuming that on an icy and snowy road, the road adhesion coefficient is about 0.1, and a clamping force of 10 kN can achieve the best braking effect on the wheel on this road, but in actual vehicles, the change of wheel slip rate always lags behind the change of wheel braking force. The increase of wheel braking force will not immediately lead to an increase in wheel slip rate, and the reduction of wheel braking force will not immediately lead to a decrease in wheel slip rate. Therefore, when the wheel clamping force is 10 kN, the wheel still has no slip rate, and when the wheel clamping force is 11 kN, the wheel slip rate increases to a relatively large level. However, on low-adhesion roads, the wheel speed changes very quickly (that is, the wheel deceleration is very large), and the wheel is easy to lock. If the influence of wheel deceleration is not considered, the clamping force will be reduced only when it is 11 kN, which will make the wheel more likely to lock. The unstable slip rate threshold is calculated by wheel deceleration and instability coefficient, and the slip rate threshold on low-adhesion roads is reduced. When the wheel clamping force is 10.5 kN, the clamping force is reduced in advance, which can effectively reduce the possibility of wheel locking and improve the braking effect.

[0051] In step S600, after controlling the electronic mechanical brake system to increase the clamping force on the wheel brake, the process proceeds to step S700 to determine whether the driving speed has reached the target speed. The target speed is the speed that the driver needs to brake to, for example, the driving speed is 0. When the driving speed does not reach the target speed, the process is repeated to determine whether the actual wheel slip rate exceeds the unstable slip rate threshold. When the driving speed does not reach the target speed, the next clamping force judgment action is required. When the driving speed reaches the target speed, the process proceeds to step S800 to control the electronic mechanical brake system to stop braking the wheel. At this point, the vehicle has been braked and no braking operation is required.

[0052] In summary, multiple embodiments of using the electromechanical brake system control method in different situations are provided here: In the first embodiment, when the driver is driving at a certain speed and steps on the brake pedal, and the actual slip rate of the wheel is greater than the unstable slip rate threshold, the wheel enters an unstable state, and the amount of clamping force reduction is determined based on the current clamping force. At this time, the electronic mechanical brake system is controlled to release. After the release is completed, the clamping force holding stage is entered, which lasts for a set time, for example, 0.1 seconds. The wheel is in a stable state at this time, and the wheel enters the clamping process. The basic clamping force reduction is determined based on the sum of the clamping force reduction in the last release process, and the wheel is clamped in sequence according to the step-by-step increasing clamping force change gradient. When the wheel meets the unstable condition again, the wheel enters the release state again and repeats the above process. The cycle of release, holding, and clamping is performed in this way until the vehicle stops.

[0053] In the second embodiment, when the driver is driving at a certain speed and steps on the brake pedal, and the actual slip rate of the wheel is greater than the unstable slip rate threshold, the wheel enters an unstable state, and the amount of clamping force reduction is determined according to the current clamping force, and the electronic mechanical brake system is controlled to release. After the release is completed, the clamping force holding stage is entered, and the clamping force reduction is determined according to the current clamping force. After 0.1 seconds, the wheel is still in an unstable state, and the wheel enters a secondary release process, and the amount of clamping force reduction is determined according to the current clamping force. After the secondary release is completed, the clamping force holding stage is entered, and the wheel is in a stable state after 0.1 seconds. The wheel enters the clamping process, and the basic clamping force reduction is determined according to the sum of the clamping force reduction in the last release process, and the clamping is performed in sequence according to the step-by-step increasing clamping force change gradient. When the wheel meets the unstable condition again, the wheel enters the release state again, and the above process is repeated. This cycle of release, holding, and clamping is repeated until the vehicle stops.

[0054] In the third embodiment, when the driver is driving at a certain speed and steps on the brake pedal, and the actual slip rate of the wheel is greater than the unstable slip rate threshold, the wheel enters an unstable state, and the amount of clamping force reduction is determined according to the current clamping force, and the electronic mechanical brake system is controlled to release at this time. After the release is completed, the clamping force holding stage is entered, and the set time is continued, for example, after 0.1 seconds, the wheel is in a stable state at this time, and the wheel enters the clamping process, and the basic clamping force reduction is determined according to the sum of the clamping force reduction in the last release process, and the wheel is clamped in sequence according to the step-by-step increasing clamping force change gradient. When the wheel clamping force increases, the wheel is still in a stable state, and the wheel is clamped with a larger clamping force change gradient until the wheel meets the unstable condition, and the wheel enters the release state again, and the above process is repeated. This release, holding, and clamping cycle is repeated until the vehicle stops.
