Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wiper systems, and in particular to a finite-time anti-interference composite control method for wiper systems. Background Art

[0002] The wiper system is a mechanical device that wipes the windshield of a car, used to clean dust, rain, snow, etc. on the windshield to ensure the driver's clear vision. It is one of the important mechanisms for safe driving of a car. Its reliability directly affects the safety of the driver. Especially with the continuous increase in the speed of modern cars, the safety performance requirements of the wiper system are getting higher and higher, and the structural design and control methods need to be further improved.

[0003] Currently, wiper systems are subject to interference during operation, including electromagnetic interference, frictional interference from foreign objects on the glass surface, external environmental factors (such as wind and rain intensity fluctuations, ice and snow cover), sensor errors, and system parameter perturbations. Due to the uncertainty of these interferences, traditional feedback control systems are prone to overshoot (system overreaction) or undershoot (system underreaction). Traditional feedback control typically relies on sensor detection and subsequent adjustments, resulting in slow system response and an inability to respond promptly to sudden disturbances. This, in turn, impacts the stability and robustness of the wiper system. Current wiper control systems are still based on traditional feedback control, which suffers from poor robustness under various operating conditions, affecting both stability and robustness. Mismatched disturbances are typically not directly reflected in the system's output or measurable state variables, making them difficult to directly capture through conventional observation methods. Because these disturbances are not directly related to the control input, traditional control strategies (such as feedback-based control methods) are often unable to effectively address them. Wiping angle deviations are typically caused by wear of the wiper mechanism or control deviations, which further reduces the overall lifespan of the wiper system, resulting in a reduced user experience, impacting driving safety, and even customer churn.

[0030] The simplified result of formula 2 is as follows;

[0031]

[0073] When the present invention is specifically implemented, Figure 2 As shown, the method proposed in the present invention can be divided into two technical parts. One is based on a non-recursive synthesis framework, which designs a simple non-smooth composite control scheme, and the other is based on an adaptive control strategy, which adaptively scales the control gain strategy according to different disturbance levels.

[0074] Working principle of the present invention:

[0075] S1. First, we can use the table lookup method to correlate the wiper arm motion and motor motion angle, so we mainly focus on the wiper motor system position control. The overall wiper motor model is as follows:

[0076]

[0077] Where, u is the wiper motor output voltage (unit: V), i is the output current (unit: A), R is the phase resistance (unit: Ω), L is the phase inductance (unit: H), E a is the back electromotive force (unit: H), k e is the back electromotive force constant (unit is V / rpm), w is the motor speed (unit is rad / s), T e is the electromagnetic torque (unit: N·m), T L is the inertia torque of the scraper arm (unit: N·m), T f is the friction torque (unit is N·m), B is the motor damping coefficient (unit is N·m / rad / s), kt is the electromagnetic torque constant (unit is N·m / A), J is the motor moment of inertia (unit is m 2 ·kg).

[0078] Define the motor position x1 = θ, the motor speed x3=i. Based on the above dynamic model, the state space equation of the wiper motor model is established:

[0079]

[0080] Considering the system mismatch disturbance Match the disturbance d2. It can be regarded as external load interference, and f1 is the unknown interference outside the system.

[0081] Then the system formula 2 can be simplified into the following form:

[0082]

[0083] Based on the establishment of the above state space model, the controller is designed according to the following control strategy:

[0084] (1) According to the non-smooth control strategy, considering the unknown disturbance of the system, the following high-gain finite-time disturbance observer is designed to estimate the system matching disturbance and non-matching disturbance for feedforward compensation:

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Among them, w 1,1 =x1,w 2,1 =x2,w 3,1 =x3. are the observed values ​​for each state. is the derivative of d1 Observed value. is the observed value of d2. i (i=1,2,3) is a design parameter.

[0088] L i =[l i,1 ,l i,2 …l i,n-i+2 ] T (i=1,2,3) is the observer weight gain vector, and satisfies the Hurwitz polynomial R(s)=s n-i+2 +l i,1 s n-i+1 …+l i,n-i+1 s+l i,n-i+2 =0. is the observer homogeneity.

[0089] (2) To facilitate the subsequent controller design and processing, state coordinate transformation is required. The steady-state expected function of each state and the control input expected function can be constructed as follows:

[0090] Set the reference position trajectory to y r ,but

[0091] Introducing the state weight gain l, the state coordinate can be transformed into the following form: η1=(x1-x1 * ) / l p ,η2=(x2-x2 * ) / l ρ+1 ,η3(x3-x3 * ) / l ρ+2 ,v=(uu * ) / l ρ+3 .

[0093]

[0094] Among them, λ is the adaptive law adjustment gain, e s is the systematic observation error, and σ is the bound of the systematic observation error.

[0095] Based on the above steps and non-smooth theory, the following finite-time state feedback controller and output voltage are designed:

[0096]

[0097] Among them, k1, k2, k3 are controller adjustment gains, and κ is the controller homogeneity.

[0098] In summary, the present invention employs a high-gain finite-time disturbance observer to estimate system disturbances for feedforward compensation, and a finite-time state feedback controller. These two components combine to provide composite control of the wiper system, achieving global finite-time stability and improving system speed and anti-interference capabilities. An adaptive law is also designed to dynamically adjust the controller gain, avoiding system oscillations caused by excessive gain and improving the system's dynamic and static performance.

[0099] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the full text is only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to this technical solution without creatively designing, they shall all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
