[0042] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0043] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0044] The main solution of the embodiments of the present application is: in a target period in which a target vehicle runs at a target yaw rate, continuously acquiring test data through a data interface of the target vehicle, the test data including steering wheel steering angles corresponding to different time points in the target period; based on the test data, determining a variation relationship between the steering wheel steering angle and the time of the target vehicle at the target yaw rate; and based on the variation relationship, determining a steering wheel return time of the target vehicle.

[0045] In the related art, the steering return time is an important indicator for measuring the ability of a vehicle to respond to a steering instruction of a driver. If the steering return time of the vehicle is too long, it may cause the driver to react slowly when he needs to quickly avoid obstacles or change lanes, which will increase the risk of traffic accidents. Therefore, before the vehicle is shipped, the steering return time of the vehicle generally needs to be measured first.

[0046] However, the measurement methods in related technologies require the additional installation of vehicle yaw rate sensors, steering wheel angle meters, and signal converters on the vehicle. Data is then recorded via a programmable logic controller (PLC) and acquired through a terminal, making the equipment complex and expensive. Furthermore, since the measurements are based on data collected from external sensors, their accuracy is difficult to guarantee.

[0047] In summary, how to more accurately and conveniently test the steering wheel turn time of a vehicle is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0048] Based on this, this application provides a solution that can accurately test the steering wheel turn time of a vehicle using data from inside the vehicle while reducing additional costs.

[0049] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions, such as a tablet computer, personal computer, or mobile phone, or a steering wheel testing device capable of performing the above functions. The following description uses a steering wheel testing device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic flowchart of a steering wheel testing method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. The steering wheel testing method can be applied to a steering wheel testing device and includes the following steps S110 to S130:

[0051] Step S110: During the target time period when the target vehicle is running at a constant speed with the target yaw rate, test data is continuously acquired through the target vehicle's data interface.

[0052] In some implementations, test data transmitted in real time on the target vehicle's bus can be continuously acquired through the target vehicle's data interface.

[0053] The test data includes the steering wheel angles at different times during the target time period.

[0054] Specifically, the target vehicle refers to the vehicle to be tested. The target vehicle can be controlled by staff and driven into an open test area, and perform relevant operating operations according to the staff's instructions.

[0055] Yaw rate refers to the angular velocity of a vehicle's yaw rate around its longitudinal axis. It is an important parameter for measuring oversteer or understeer. Vehicles typically have yaw rate sensors installed inside. These sensors collect real-time data on changes in the vehicle's yaw rate and transmit the data to the vehicle's bus, which then sends it to the relevant domain controller for vehicle control.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the target yaw rate can be 25 deg / s according to general standards.

[0057] In some implementations, constant speed operation refers to the target vehicle continuously operating at a fixed test speed. For example, the test speed could be 20 km / h, but this application does not limit the implementation.

[0058] The start time of the target time period is the moment when the steering wheel is released after the target vehicle has been running at a constant speed according to the target yaw rate and test speed for a set period of time. The end time of the target time period can be a set duration after the start time, for example, the set duration can be 1 second. It should be noted that in actual experiments, 1 second is the preferred option for the target time period, because after 1 second, the accuracy of the test results cannot be guaranteed due to changes in the force state of the wheels.

[0059] In some implementations, the target vehicle has a data interface. It is understood that the data interface refers to a diagnostic interface used to establish a connection with the steering wheel testing equipment (e.g., diagnostic equipment) described in this application. Through the diagnostic interface, data from within the target vehicle can be transmitted to the diagnostic equipment for analysis, and the diagnostic equipment can also transmit data to the target vehicle for upgrades.

[0060] In some implementations, the diagnostic interface may be a Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC), a standard interface for diagnostic communication in automobiles, typically located under the dashboard near the driver's seat, for external test equipment (i.e., the steering wheel test equipment / diagnostic equipment in this application) to communicate with the vehicle.

[0061] Understandably, data collected inside a vehicle is typically transmitted via the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Sensors send data to the CAN bus, and each domain controller acquires the corresponding data and performs related operations through the CAN bus. In this application, the relevant sensors inside the vehicle can collect test data during the constant-speed operation of the target vehicle. These sensors may include, but are not limited to, steering wheel angle sensors, yaw rate sensors, and speed sensors.

[0062] Test data refers to the driving data of the target vehicle during the test process, which may include the steering wheel angles at different times within the target time period. In this embodiment, the data acquisition interval can be set by the operator according to the measurement accuracy. For example, the acquisition interval can be set to 0.25 seconds, meaning that the target vehicle can acquire test data once every 0.25 seconds, and whenever test data is acquired, the test data and the corresponding timestamp are sent to the CAN bus.

[0063] In summary, as an example, staff can activate functions such as cruise control on the target vehicle and set the speed to a fixed 20 km / h. At the same time, staff can turn the steering wheel at a speed of 45 deg / s in one direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and continuously acquire and record the vehicle yaw rate values ​​corresponding to different angles during the steering wheel rotation via the vehicle's CAN bus.

[0064] When the vehicle's yaw rate reaches 25 degrees / s, the corresponding steering wheel angle value is recorded. In some implementations, to obtain a more accurate value, the above operation can be performed multiple times (e.g., three times), and the average of the steering wheel angles obtained multiple times can be taken as the steering wheel angle value corresponding to the vehicle's yaw rate reaching 25 degrees / s.

[0065] Step S120: Based on the test data, determine the relationship between the steering wheel angle and time for the target vehicle under the target yaw rate.

[0066] Understandably, to ensure vehicle safety, a vehicle's steering wheel is typically designed to automatically return to center after being left unattended, minimizing changes in the vehicle's direction of movement. Since the steering wheel's return to center is a continuous process after it is no longer under user control, this embodiment focuses on the relationship between the steering angle and time to better detect the steering wheel's return time.

[0067] In some implementations, a curve showing the change of steering wheel angle over time for a target vehicle at a target yaw rate can be fitted based on test data; and the relationship between the steering wheel angle and time can be determined based on the curve.

[0068] In some implementations, while the target vehicle is running at a set speed and the steering wheel is turned, the yaw rate of the vehicle at different steering wheel angles is obtained; the steering wheel angle corresponding to the target yaw rate is determined as the target steering angle; the steering wheel of the target vehicle is turned to the target steering angle, and the vehicle is kept running at the set speed.

[0069] In practice, the operator can control the target vehicle to travel at a speed of 20 km / h using cruise control, while simultaneously turning the steering wheel to the steering wheel angle value corresponding to the target yaw rate (the steering wheel angle value corresponding to 25 degrees / s). After the target vehicle continues to operate at this steering wheel angle value for a preset period of time (e.g., 3 seconds), the steering wheel is released, and test data for the target time period (within 1 second) is continuously recorded.

[0070] As mentioned earlier, the test data can include the steering wheel angles at different times within the target time period. For example, if the test data for the target vehicle is collected every 0.01 seconds, the test data obtained during the target time period (the above collection operation was performed in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions) can be recorded in the form of the table below.

[0071]

[0072] Based on the test data obtained above, the curves of the change between steering angle and time can be fitted for both clockwise and counterclockwise steering wheel movements.

[0073] By observing the test data, it is easy to find that there is a roughly linear relationship between the steering angle and time. Therefore, the test data can be analyzed using a linear model to obtain a linear equation with time as x and steering wheel angle as y, which is the curve of the change between steering angle and time.

[0074] For example, in some implementations, a curve fitted from data within 1 second can be plotted on the coordinate axes as follows: Figure 3 It is represented in the manner shown.

[0075] In some implementations, to ensure the accuracy of curve fitting, step S120 may also include steps S210 to S220.

[0076] Step S210: Calculate the goodness of fit of the change curve.

[0077] In step S220, if the fit is less than a set threshold, a prompt message indicating an error in the fitting of the characterization data is issued; if the fit is greater than or equal to the set threshold, step S130 is executed.

[0078] Specifically, after obtaining the variation curve using a linear model, the goodness of fit (R²) of the linear model can be calculated. R² can be calculated using the following expression:

[0079]

[0080] SSR refers to the sum of squared residuals, which can be calculated using the following expression:

[0081]

[0082] in, This refers to the predicted value at time i. This refers to the actual value at time i.

[0083] SST refers to the total sum of squares, which can be calculated using the following expression:

[0084]

[0085] in, It refers to the average of the actual values.

[0086] After obtaining the goodness of fit, a pre-set threshold can be used to determine whether the linear model meets the required fitting accuracy. For example, the threshold can be 0.85. When R² is greater than or equal to 0.85, the linear model is determined to meet the required fitting accuracy, and step S130 can be executed. When R² is less than 0.85, it indicates that the linear model does not meet the required fitting accuracy. In this case, a prompt message indicating an error in the data fitting can be issued to prompt the user to check the test data. There may be various scenarios, such as errors in the test data itself or errors in the fitting process. This embodiment does not limit these scenarios.

[0087] Step S130: Based on the changing relationship, determine the steering wheel return time of the target vehicle.

[0088] In some implementations, the target steering angle can be used as a known parameter of a linear relationship, and the unknown parameter can be calculated through the linear relationship to obtain the steering wheel return time of the target vehicle.

[0089] Step S120 allows us to calculate the relationship between the steering wheel angle and time in clockwise and counterclockwise directions, expressed as y = ax + b. Here, the target steering angle is a known value obtained in step S110, i.e., the known parameter y. Substituting this into the above formula yields the unknown parameter x, which represents the return time required for the steering wheel to return to its initial position under the target yaw rate.

[0090] This embodiment provides a steering wheel testing method. While the vehicle under test (i.e., the target vehicle) is running at a constant speed with a target yaw rate, test data for the target time period is acquired through the vehicle's data interface. Subsequent steering wheel tests are then performed directly using data measured inside the vehicle body, ensuring test accuracy. Furthermore, the relationship between steering wheel angle and time is determined based on the test data, thereby accurately calculating the return time corresponding to the steering wheel angle at the target yaw rate. This facilitates steering wheel testing and, compared to related technologies, saves additional costs and improves test accuracy.

[0091] This application also provides a steering wheel testing device, please refer to... Figure 4 The steering wheel testing device 100 includes:

[0092] The data acquisition module 110 is used to continuously acquire test data through the data interface of the target vehicle while the target vehicle is running at a constant speed with a target yaw rate.

[0093] The relationship determination module 120 is used to determine the relationship between the steering wheel angle and time for the target vehicle under the target yaw rate based on test data.
