Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of retarder control, and particularly relates to a control method and system for a hydraulic retarder of a heavy truck, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The heavy load of a heavy truck places high requirements on the performance of its braking system. When the vehicle is driving on a long downhill section, if only the wheel side braking system of the vehicle is used, measures such as continuous water spraying are required to cool the braking system to maintain effective braking performance, but this method cannot meet the usage requirements. In order to meet the requirements of large braking torque and long-term effective braking, the most widely used and effective method at present is to install a hydraulic retarder at the output shaft end of the heavy truck transmission. The control of the hydraulic retarder includes constant torque mode control and constant vehicle speed mode control. No matter which mode, ultimately, the actual output torque of the retarder is controlled according to the target braking torque command obtained by the controller. The prior art monitors the pressure in the retarder cavity, and according to the maximum braking torque and the maximum cavity pressure value obtained by prior experiments, converts the target braking torque command into a target braking pressure in proportion, and then calculates the control input of the proportional valve through the deviation value between the target pressure and the actual pressure by a PID controller to achieve the control of the target torque. However, the prior art has the following problems in output torque control: The torque output delay is obvious. When the retarder receives a braking command, the cavity of the retarder starts to be filled with oil, but the oil filling process is relatively slow, resulting in a torque output delay. In the constant speed control mode, it will cause the vehicle speed to deviate from the target vehicle speed by a large amount before the vehicle speed can be effectively controlled. The time taken to reach the target torque value is relatively long in the constant torque control mode. Over-control leads to large fluctuations in the output torque, and at the same time increases the time taken to reach the steady-state torque. The prior art controls the proportional valve through the deviation between the target pressure value in the retarder cavity and the actual pressure value collected by the sensor. Since the process of establishing the oil pressure is relatively slow, this results in the opening of the oil supply port of the proportional valve being out of sync with the corresponding theoretical system oil pressure, leading to excessive control input, thereby increasing the control time to reach the steady state. The control accuracy is not high, and there are significant differences in the control effects at different vehicle speeds and different retarder oil temperatures. The rotational speed of the retarder impeller and the oil temperature have a great influence on the maximum torque that can be output by the retarder. If this factor is not considered and it is assumed that the maximum torque of the retarder is the maximum torque value under all working conditions, and the target pressure is calculated uniformly using the maximum torque value of the retarder under different working conditions, inaccurate target pressure will be obtained, which will have a certain impact on the control accuracy. Therefore, in summary, when controlling the output torque of the retarder at present, there is a relatively obvious torque output delay, over-control leads to large fluctuations in the output torque while increasing the time taken to reach the steady-state torque, and the control accuracy needs to be further improved.

[0028] How to make the vehicle braking process more in line with the driver's braking intention, shorten the time required to achieve the target braking demand, enhance the vehicle driving comfort and vehicle controllability, and improve the braking accuracy of the retarder and the vehicle working applicability under comprehensive operating conditions.

[0029] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a control method for a heavy truck hydraulic retarder of the present invention includes the following steps: S1. Read the target braking torque value of the retarder; If the target braking torque value of the retarder is greater than or equal to the maximum output torque value of the retarder, the target braking torque value of the retarder is set to the maximum output torque value of the retarder to form the target braking torque value of the processed retarder; If the target braking torque value of the retarder is less than the maximum output torque value of the retarder, the target braking torque value is dynamically compensated to form the target braking torque value of the processed retarder; S2. Calculate the target working pressure value of the retarder cavity according to the target braking torque value of the processed retarder and the maximum output torque value of the retarder; S3. Calculate the deviation between the target working pressure value of the retarder cavity and the current working pressure of the retarder, and the deviation between the target current and the actual current of the proportional valve. Through PID controller calculation, the output of the PID controller is used as the input of the retarder proportional valve to control the output torque of the retarder.

[0030] In the torque control stage of starting the retarder of the vehicle, the control method of the present invention can control the output torque of the retarder to the target torque value faster by compensating the target torque value. In the process of solenoid valve control, a control algorithm is constructed by comprehensively considering the control current of the proportional valve and the pressure parameter of the retarder working chamber, taking into account the rapidity of current feedback control and the accuracy of indirectly reflecting the actual torque by pressure. Thus, the over-control caused by the delay of actual working pressure feedback is reduced, the time for the torque to reach the steady state is reduced, the control accuracy is improved, and the fluctuation of the retarder output torque is reduced. By querying the maximum torque that the retarder can output currently at different vehicle speeds and different retarder oil temperatures, and using this torque value and the target torque value to calculate the target working pressure, the compensation for the influence of oil temperature and speed on the braking torque is realized, thereby improving the control accuracy and stability. It brings a better driving experience for the driver.

[0031] The present invention also provides a control system for a heavy truck hydraulic retarder. The control system includes a data acquisition module, a target braking torque value processing module, a pressure calculation module, and a PID controller calculation module, wherein: The data acquisition module: is used to collect in real time the input current of the retarder proportional valve, the pressure in the retarder cavity, the rotation speed of the retarder driving wheel, and the retarder oil temperature; The target braking torque value processing module: is used to read the target braking torque value of the retarder; If the target braking torque value of the retarder is greater than or equal to the maximum output torque value of the retarder, the target braking torque value of the retarder is set to the maximum output torque value of the retarder to form the target braking torque value of the processed retarder; If the target braking torque value of the retarder is less than the maximum output torque value of the retarder, the target braking torque value is dynamically compensated to form the target braking torque value of the processed retarder; Pressure calculation module: used to calculate the target working pressure value of the retarder cavity according to the target braking torque value of the processed retarder and the maximum output torque value of the retarder PID controller calculation module: calculates the deviation between the target working pressure value of the retarder cavity and the current working pressure of the retarder, and the deviation between the target current and the actual current of the proportional valve. Through PID controller calculation, the output of the PID controller is used as the input of the retarder proportional valve to control the output torque of the retarder.

[0032] The system provided by the present invention provides a carrier for the control method of the heavy truck hydraulic retarder, thereby realizing the precise and rapid response of the retarder.

[0033] The present invention also provides a vehicle, which includes the above-mentioned control system of the heavy truck hydraulic retarder. By adopting the system of the present invention, the control accuracy and stability of the vehicle retarder can be improved.

[0034] The following further elaborates on a control method and system for a heavy truck hydraulic retarder of the present invention through specific embodiments.

[0035] Step 1: Pretreatment of the retarder target torque value; When the vehicle starts the retarder braking, the retarder torque control system will receive the target braking torque value , and at this time, the system makes a judgment and of the magnitudes, where is the maximum torque value that the retarder can provide, and this value is pre-measured through experiments and stored in the retarder torque control system.

[0036] If then ; If , then , where: (1); Among them, is the target braking torque value of the retarder, is the maximum output torque value of the retarder, is the processed target braking torque value of the retarder, is the current working pressure of the retarder working chamber, is the maximum pressure value of the retarder working chamber, is the retarder oil filling characteristic time constant, is time.

[0037] Step 2: Calculate the target working pressure value of the retarder; The target working pressure value of the retarder is calculated based on the target torque command signal received by the system, specifically: 1) Establish a retarder braking torque database as shown in Figure 3 . According to the conditions of oil temperature, driving wheel speed, and filling rate, the retarder braking torque database can output the maximum output torque value under the current conditions .

[0038] 2) Convert the target torque value calculated in step 1 into the target working pressure value of the retarder according to the oil temperature information and driving wheel speed information obtained by the current sensor . The filling rate input value is 100%.

[0039] ) (2); Among them, is the target working pressure value of the retarder, is the maximum output torque value under the current conditions.

[0040] Step 3: Calculate the control input of the retarder proportional valve; In view of the problems of large output torque fluctuations and long time to reach the steady-state target torque value caused by over-control in the present invention, a method of using the solenoid valve feedback current value as an additional control input parameter is adopted to solve the problem. First, test and obtain the relationship between the solenoid valve control current and the oil supply pressure. When the retarder is working, according to the magnitude of the target pressure and the actual pressure deviation value, determine the calculation method for calculating the control input value of the proportional solenoid valve by the PID controller. When the pressure deviation value at time is greater than the preset pressure constant value , calculate the control input value of the proportional solenoid valve using calculation method 1. When the pressure deviation value at time is less than the preset pressure constant value , calculate the control input value of the proportional solenoid valve using calculation method 2, where calculation method 2 will include parameters such as the solenoid valve feedback current value and the relationship between the current and the oil supply pressure.

[0041] 1) Calculate the pressure deviation value according to the results obtained in steps 1 and 2: (3).

[0042] Calculate the control input of the proportional valve through the PID controller : (4); (5); Among them, is the current moment, are all PID controller parameters, is a preset pressure constant value, is the current deviation, is the rate of change of the pressure deviation.

[0043] such as Figure 2 shown, the current deviation is obtained through the following formula (6): (6); The target current value is obtained through the following formula (7): ) (7); wherein, is the current value obtained from the retarder sensor at the current moment, is the target current value, is the maximum input current of the retarder proportional valve, is a constant value obtained through pre-testing according to the pressure deviation range.

[0044] In addition, as Figure 2 shown, the transmission shaft 7 of the retarder 1 is connected to the output shaft of the transmission outside the system. The transmission shaft 7 drives the driving wheel of the retarder 1 to rotate. The driving wheel stirs the oil fluid and impacts on the fixed wheel of the retarder 1, and the deceleration requirement is achieved through the generated reaction force. The heat energy generated by stirring the oil fluid is dissipated through the heat dissipation device. The fuel tank 5 conducts the entire control path through the variable pump 3 input by connecting the drain valve 4. The magnitude of the braking torque generated by the retarder 1 is adjusted by adjusting the volume of the oil fluid in the cavity (filling rate). The filling rate is related to the pressure in the working cavity 6. Therefore, the magnitude of the braking torque generated by the retarder is adjusted by adjusting the working pressure in the working cavity 6. A higher working pressure results in a greater braking torque, and the adjustment of the working pressure is achieved by controlling the proportional valve 2 and the drain valve 4. Specifically: the controller closes the drain valve 4 through current control, and at the same time controls the opening degree of the oil supply port of the proportional valve 2 to adjust the oil supply pressure at the outlet of the variable pump 3, thereby achieving the adjustment of the filling rate of the cavity of the retarder 1. The larger the opening of the proportional valve 2, the higher the oil pressure at the outlet of the variable pump 3, the greater the working pressure of the retarder 1, and the greater the filling rate of the retarder 1. When it is necessary to quickly reduce the working pressure of the cavity 6, the oil pressure at the outlet of the variable pump 3 can be quickly reduced, and at the same time the drain valve 4 is opened to accelerate the discharge of the liquid in the cavity 6.

[0045] Control method for heavy truck hydraulic retarder of the present invention. Aiming at the problem of torque output delay, through the tests on the control characteristics of the proportional valve and the charging and discharging characteristics of the retarder, parameters such as the maximum pressure value during the operation of the retarder, the oil charging time of the retarder, and the working dead zone of the proportional valve are obtained. Compensate the control input amount corresponding to the control input dead zone of the proportional valve. When the retarder is working, if the target pressure value is less than the maximum target pressure value, compensate the control input during the valve opening stage of the proportional valve for the oil charging process, and the size of the oil charging process compensation value is adjusted according to the size of the target braking pressure, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the output torque delay.

[0046] Control method for heavy truck hydraulic retarder of the present invention. Aiming at the problem that the control accuracy is not high and the control effect varies greatly at different vehicle speeds and different retarder oil temperatures, a braking torque database of the retarder is obtained through experimental tests. The input of the braking torque database is the oil temperature of the retarder and the rotational speed of the retarder driving wheel, and the output of the database is the maximum output torque value. When the retarder is working, obtain the maximum output torque value by querying the database in real time, and calculate the target working pressure according to the maximum output torque value, so as to more accurately control the output torque of the retarder.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that: the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not impose any form of limitation on the present invention; any ordinary technician in the industry can smoothly implement the present invention according to the description in the specification and the above description. Any equivalent changes made by slightly modifying and evolving using the technical content disclosed above are equivalent embodiments of the present invention; at the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
