Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of brake system control, and in particular to a clamping force estimation method of an electronic mechanical brake system and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, braking technology is facing new demands and challenges. Traditional braking systems are gradually unable to meet the pursuit of modern automobiles for efficiency, intelligence, environmental protection and safety. Electromechanical Brake (EMB) has emerged as an emerging technology. It has many advantages, such as fast response speed, high control accuracy, easy integration into advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving technology, and can achieve energy recovery, which helps to improve the range of electric vehicles. It has a relatively simple structure, reduces hydraulic pipelines and other components, and is clean and environmentally friendly.

[0003] The key significance and challenges of clamping force control in EMB system: In the process of automobile braking technology evolving towards electrification and intelligence, EMB system has become a key development direction. Clamping force control is the core prerequisite for EMB system to realize many important functions (such as basic braking, active braking, drive anti-skid and anti-lock braking, etc.). Accurate identification of clamping force is crucial to ensure the effective realization of these functions. However, at present, there are many difficulties in achieving accurate clamping force control.

[0004] For existing technologies, on the one hand, clamping force sensors are expensive, which forces car companies to weigh cost factors when considering applying them to mass-produced models, resulting in restrictions on their widespread application. On the other hand, it is difficult to choose the location of the clamping force sensor. When it is close to the friction lining, the high operating temperature will significantly shorten the sensor life and affect the measurement accuracy. If it is placed deep in the EMB system, it will cause hysteresis problems, thus affecting the measurement accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0052] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The present invention provides a method for estimating the clamping force of an electronic mechanical brake system, which can be referred to herein Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0054] Acquire the position information of the rotor of the drive motor and the motor speed information in real time;

[0055] Acquire a correspondence between a historical clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system and position information of the rotor, and determine a first estimate of a current clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system in combination with the current position information of the rotor and the correspondence;

[0056] Determining the current output torque of the drive motor according to the motor speed information;

[0057] Acquire a conversion ratio of the output torque of the drive motor to the clamping force, and obtain a second estimate of the clamping force by combining the conversion ratio and the current output torque;

[0058] The discrete Kalman algorithm, the first estimate of the clamping force, and the second estimate of the clamping force are combined to determine a target estimate of the clamping force.

[0059] Through the above method, the present invention only needs to obtain the position information of the rotor of the driving motor and the motor speed information in real time, and can obtain a first estimate of the clamping force according to the corresponding relationship. Since the estimate will have a certain error with durability, temperature, and friction plate wear, the present invention also obtains a second estimate of the clamping force based on the conversion ratio of the output torque of the driving motor to the clamping force, combined with the conversion ratio and the current output torque. Since the second estimate also has an estimation deviation of the empirical formula, in order to make the final estimated clamping force reliable and effective, the present invention also uses a discrete Kalman algorithm to fuse the first estimate of the clamping force and the second estimate of the clamping force, and then determines the target estimate of the clamping force. The target estimate has high accuracy, and the estimation process does not require the use of a clamping force sensor, reducing the corresponding high cost and inconvenient installation technical problems.

[0060] In the specific implementation process, please refer to Figure 2 As shown:

[0061] The real-time acquisition of the position information of the rotor of the driving motor and the motor speed information includes:

[0062] The real-time position information of the rotor of the drive motor in the electronic mechanical brake system, as well as the real-time three-phase power supply current and temperature are obtained in real time, and the current motor speed information of the drive motor is calculated based on the real-time position information of the rotor to reduce the use of sensors for obtaining the motor speed information and reduce cost investment.

[0063] After obtaining the rotor position information and motor speed information of the drive motor, perform the following two steps respectively:

[0064] First, obtaining a correspondence between a historical clamping force of the electronic mechanical brake system and position information of the rotor, and combining the current position information of the rotor with the correspondence to determine a first estimated value of the clamping force of the current electronic mechanical brake system by looking up a table;

[0065] Second, according to the motor speed information, determining the current output torque of the drive motor, specifically including:

[0066] The current output torque of the drive motor is calculated and determined by combining the current motor speed information, the current power supply current of the drive motor, the electromagnetic parameters and the rotational inertia information of the drive motor.

[0067] Then, based on the motor speed information, it is determined whether the direction of the motor speed is forward, that is, whether the output torque of the drive motor is to drive the friction plate to clamp the friction disk. If so, the subsequent steps are performed. If the direction of the motor speed is reverse, that is, the output torque of the drive motor is to drive the friction plate to loosen the friction disk, the clamping force is not estimated.

[0068] If the direction of the motor speed is forward, the conversion ratio of the output torque of the drive motor to the clamping force is obtained, and a second estimate of the clamping force is obtained by combining the conversion ratio and the current output torque, specifically including:

[0069] The target transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism, the transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism and the stiffness efficiency of the friction plate are obtained in sequence, and the second estimated value of the clamping force is calculated in combination with the current output torque and the transmission ratio, transmission efficiency and stiffness efficiency.

[0070] The steps for obtaining the target transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism are as follows:

[0071] A target transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism is calculated according to the gear transmission ratio of the transmission mechanism and the lead of the ball screw of the transmission mechanism. After the target transmission ratio is obtained, a current output torque of the drive motor is multiplied by the target transmission ratio to obtain a first undetermined value of a second estimated value of the electronic mechanical brake system.

[0072] The steps for obtaining the transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism are as follows:

[0073] Acquiring temperature information and wear degree information of the transmission mechanism, determining the current transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism according to the temperature information and wear degree information of the transmission mechanism, and after obtaining the transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism, multiplying the first undetermined value of the second estimated value by the transmission efficiency of the transmission mechanism to obtain a second undetermined value of the second estimated value;

[0074] The steps for obtaining the stiffness efficiency of the friction plate are as follows:

[0075] Obtain temperature information and wear information of the friction plate, determine the current stiffness efficiency of the friction plate based on the temperature information and wear information of the friction plate, and after obtaining the stiffness efficiency of the friction plate, multiply the second unknown value of the second estimate by the stiffness efficiency to obtain a second estimate of the clamping force.

[0076] Finally, the discrete Kalman algorithm, the first estimate of the clamping force and the second estimate of the clamping force are combined to determine a target estimate of the clamping force.

[0077] Through the above method steps, since the first estimated value of the clamping force is obtained by looking up the historical data table, it will deviate with the durability, temperature, and friction plate wear, and there is a certain variance A compared with the true value item; the second estimated value of the clamping force is derived according to the empirical formula, and there will be an estimated deviation of the empirical formula in the calculation, and there is a certain variance B compared with the true value; the discrete Kalman algorithm will fuse the two sets of data, and the variance of the fused data is smaller than the variance A or variance B compared with the true value, and it is more accurate, and the target estimate of the clamping force obtained is more reliable.
