Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle steering, and specifically refers to a multi-functional dual-motor coupled active steering system for commercial vehicles and its control method. Background Art

[0002] The steering system is one of the key components of an automobile. It not only ensures that the automobile can steer according to the driver's will, but also is closely related to the comfort, handling stability and active safety of the automobile. At present, the electro-hydraulic power steering system (EHPS) and the electric power steering system (EPS) have been widely applied to actual vehicles. EHPS uses a hydraulic system to provide power, and traditional hydraulic components are indispensable in its power steering process, so the structure is not simple enough. While EPS completely abandons hydraulics, the components and pipelines eliminate the risk of hydraulic oil leakage, the structure is simpler, the maintenance and installation are more convenient, and at the same time, without the corrosive hydraulic liquid, it is more environmentally friendly. EPS is driven and controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) to drive the actuator motor to generate steering torque, which has the advantages of no hydraulic delay, faster response speed, no need to change hydraulic oil, and lower cost at the same time. EPS is regarded by many as a superior alternative to EHPS, making it an important direction for the future development of steering systems.

[0003] However, there are problems with the steering systems of commercial vehicles in terms of lightness and safety. On the one hand, commercial vehicles require greater torque, and a single motor cannot fully meet the torque requirements. Currently, there are certain solutions to this problem. For example, a dual-motor steering system for a driving simulator in intelligent vehicle human-machine co-driving testing, disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202410918416.5, provides greater assist torque through dual motors. On the other hand, commercial vehicles have higher requirements for safety. Traditional power steering systems can only apply variable steering assistance by means of a hydraulic power system or an electric power system according to the driver's steering operation to reduce the driver's steering burden, and cannot perform variable transmission ratio control for various situations encountered by the vehicle during driving, thus failing to play an important role in the vehicle's handling stability. Currently, there are also certain solutions to this problem. For example, an adaptive active front-wheel steering transmission system for commercial vehicles, disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN201911282013.1, controls the rotation angle of the common planet carrier through a worm and worm gear mechanism to achieve variable transmission ratio. Currently, there is also an active steering system with three motors. For example, a multi-mode dual-redundancy active steering system assembly and control method, disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202210530849.4, realizes power steering and improves system safety through the coordinated operation of three motors. A simple dual-motor steering system can meet the steering power requirements, but it cannot achieve variable transmission ratio and has insufficient operating stability. Although the steering motor uses a worm and worm gear mechanism to control the rotation angle of the common planet carrier, it can achieve variable transmission ratio, but the steering motor only plays a role in angle control and cannot provide power steering, lacking lightness. The coordinated operation of three motors realizes power steering. Although it can achieve greater power steering and variable transmission ratio, the three-motor steering system is relatively redundant, increasing safety hazards and requiring more complex control methods.

[0004] In summary, with the development of vehicle electrification and intelligence, the electric power steering system has gradually become the mainstream development trend of future vehicle steering systems. However, traditional commercial vehicle power steering systems have problems with lightness and safety. A single motor cannot fully meet the torque requirements, and traditional dual-motor steering systems cannot perform variable transmission ratio control for various situations encountered by the vehicle during driving, thus failing to play an important role in the vehicle's handling stability. Although there is currently an active steering system with three motors, adding motors will bring safety hazards and increase the complexity of the control method. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-functional dual-motor coupled active steering system and its control strategy that can meet power requirements, be safe and reliable, and have simpler control.
