[0002] In the field of modern automotive engineering, the performance of the suspension system plays a crucial role in enhancing the driving stability, ride comfort and handling performance of vehicles. With the progress of technology, the active suspension system has gradually become one of the key technologies for improving vehicle performance. The active suspension system can integrate sensors, controllers and actuators to monitor and actively adjust the height, stiffness and damping of the suspension in real time to adapt to different driving conditions and road conditions, thereby significantly enhancing the dynamic response and ride comfort of the vehicle.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the adjustment strategy of the active suspension system needs to face the challenges of various complex working conditions. Especially when the stationary vehicle is in the four-wheel braking state, in this case, all four wheels are locked, and the adjustment of the active suspension often easily leads to chassis stress accumulation. Chassis stress accumulation often generates vibrations and noises, and when the vehicle changes from the stationary state to the moving state, the release of the accumulated chassis stress will generate greater vibrations and noises, bringing a bad vehicle use experience to users.

[0004] Therefore, developing an active suspension adjustment technology that can effectively avoid suspension stress accumulation, reduce noises and vibrations, and avoid wear of chassis components in the stationary braking state of the vehicle has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the current automotive engineering field.

[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of one or more embodiments of the present invention, the term "including" and its similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. There may also be other explicit and implicit definitions below.

[0043] It should be noted that in one or more embodiments of the present invention, the static braking state refers to a state where the vehicle is in a stationary state and the vehicle braking system applies braking force to the wheels. When the vehicle is in the static braking state, on the one hand, the wheels of the vehicle in the static braking state are all braked and locked, and the active suspension adjustment is more likely to cause suspension stress accumulation, thereby generating noise and vibration and causing wear of chassis components, such as brake pads; on the other hand, when the vehicle is in the static braking state, the vehicle is not affected by road noise, engine noise, wind noise and other noises, which will make the noise generated by stress accumulation more obvious, bringing an unpleasant vehicle use experience to users.

[0044] Based on this, the present invention provides a method, device, program, controller and vehicle for avoiding suspension stress accumulation. By adopting this method, when it is detected that the vehicle is in a static braking state and the stress caused by the active suspension height adjustment is relatively large, a request is sent to release the braking force applied to the vehicle wheel ends, so as to avoid stress accumulation in the vehicle, thereby avoiding noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's vehicle use experience.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a schematic flow chart of a method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of this process can be a program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation, or the execution subject of this process can also be a vehicle or domain controller equipped with the above program, or other devices capable of communicating with vehicles, domain controllers, etc. No specific limitation is made in this regard.

[0046] Next, a detailed description will be given of Figure 1 the process shown below. The method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation can specifically include the following steps:

[0047] Step S102, in response to detecting that the vehicle is in a static braking state, monitor the working state of the suspension actuator;

[0048] Specifically, signals such as vehicle speed, brake pedal travel, and brake system parameters can be monitored to monitor whether the vehicle is in a static braking state. If it is detected that the vehicle is in a static braking state, the working state of the suspension actuator in the suspension system is monitored in real time, so as to find out whether the active suspension system adjusts the suspension.

[0049] It should be noted that when the vehicle is driving on an uneven road surface or the load changes, the suspension system may be impacted or compressed, resulting in changes in the vehicle body height and tilt angle. At this time, the sensor will monitor these changes in real time and transmit the signals to the suspension system controller. The suspension system controller calculates the optimal suspension parameter settings according to the received signals and preset algorithms, and sends a control signal to the suspension actuator. Monitoring the working state of the suspension actuator means monitoring whether the suspension actuator receives the control signal sent by the suspension system controller and starts to act.

[0050] Step S104, in response to monitoring that the suspension actuator adjusts the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal, generate a braking force release request based on the suspension height adjustment signal;

[0051] Step S106, release the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request.

[0052] Specifically, when a suspension height adjustment signal sent by a suspension system controller to a suspension actuator is detected and the suspension actuator starts to adjust the suspension height according to the suspension height adjustment signal, a braking force release request is generated, so that the braking system releases the braking force of the vehicle according to the braking force release request, avoiding stress accumulation during suspension adjustment, thereby avoiding noises and vibrations caused by stress accumulation and enhancing the user's driving experience.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 , which is a schematic flowchart of a method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The execution subject of this process can be a program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation, or the execution subject of this process can also be a vehicle or a domain controller equipped with the above program, or other devices capable of communicating with the vehicle, domain controller, etc. No specific limitation is made thereto.

[0054] Next, for Figure 2 the process shown, a detailed description is given below. The method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation may specifically include the following steps:

[0055] Step S202: In response to detecting that the vehicle is in a stationary braking state, monitor the working state of the suspension actuator;

[0056] Specifically, for step S202, please refer to the detailed description of step S102 in another embodiment of the present invention, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] Step S204: In response to monitoring that the suspension actuator adjusts the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal, estimate the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal;

[0058] Specifically, when a suspension height adjustment signal sent by the suspension system controller to the suspension actuator is detected and the suspension actuator starts to adjust the suspension height according to the suspension height adjustment signal, at this time, estimate the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal.

[0059] Furthermore, it should be noted that the suspension stress accumulation is positively correlated with the suspension height adjustment amplitude.

[0060] Optionally, the suspension height adjustment signal includes the current suspension height and the target suspension height. Among them, the current suspension height is the suspension height of the vehicle suspension before adjustment, and the target suspension height is the adjusted suspension height calculated by the suspension system controller. By subtracting the current suspension height from the target suspension height, the suspension adjustment stroke can be obtained, and thus the suspension cumulative stress that may be generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal can be estimated.

[0061] Step S206: If the suspension cumulative stress is greater than a preset stress threshold, generate a braking force release request;

[0062] Further, after estimating the suspension cumulative stress corresponding to the suspension height adjustment signal, compare the suspension cumulative stress with a predefined preset stress threshold: if the estimated suspension cumulative stress is less than or equal to the preset stress threshold, it indicates that the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal will not generate noise and vibration; if the estimated suspension cumulative stress is greater than the preset stress threshold, it indicates that the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal will cause noise and vibration. In an embodiment of the present invention, if the suspension cumulative stress is greater than the preset stress threshold, a braking force release request is generated.

[0063] Step S208, release the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request.

[0064] Specifically, after generating the braking force release request, the braking system releases the braking force of the vehicle according to the braking force release request to avoid stress accumulation during suspension adjustment, thereby avoiding noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's driving experience.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that the vehicle is in a stationary braking state and it is detected that the active suspension system needs to adjust the suspension height, the suspension cumulative stress of the vehicle is estimated according to the suspension height adjustment signal. When the suspension cumulative stress exceeds the preset stress threshold, a request is made to release the braking force applied to the wheel end of the vehicle to avoid stress accumulation in the vehicle, thereby avoiding noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's driving experience.

[0066] In one embodiment, step S204, estimating the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal, may specifically be: determining the suspension adjustment stroke based on the current suspension height and the target suspension height; determining the suspension cumulative stress corresponding to the suspension adjustment stroke.

[0067] Wherein, the current suspension height is the suspension height of the vehicle suspension before adjustment, and the target suspension height is the adjusted suspension height calculated by the suspension system controller. The suspension adjustment stroke is obtained by subtracting the current suspension height from the target suspension height, so that the suspension cumulative stress that may be generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal can be estimated according to the suspension adjustment stroke.

[0068] Further, determining the suspension cumulative stress corresponding to the suspension adjustment stroke may be: based on the suspension adjustment stroke, determining the suspension cumulative stress corresponding to the suspension adjustment stroke in a preset stroke-stress mapping table, and the stroke-stress mapping table includes the mapping relationship between different suspension adjustment strokes and the corresponding suspension cumulative stresses.

[0069] Specifically, the mapping relationship between different suspension adjustment strokes and suspension cumulative stress is pre-calibrated. Thus, after calculating the suspension adjustment stroke based on the current suspension height and the target suspension height, the suspension cumulative stress corresponding to the suspension adjustment stroke can be determined in the pre-set stroke-stress mapping table according to the suspension adjustment stroke.

[0070] In one embodiment, step S208, releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request can be: reducing the rear axle braking force and increasing the front axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.

[0071] Wherein, the rear axle braking force refers to the braking force applied by the braking system to the rear axle wheels through the brakes, and the front axle braking force refers to the braking force applied by the braking system to the front axle wheels through the brakes.

[0072] It should be noted that when releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request, the specific braking force adjustment data can be calibrated according to the actual vehicle conditions and the vehicle surrounding environment.

[0073] In a specific and feasible implementation manner, reducing the rear axle braking force and increasing the front axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged can be: completely releasing the rear axle braking force and increasing the front axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.

[0074] In this embodiment, by completely releasing the rear axle braking force, it is ensured that not all the vehicle wheels are in the locked state, and the rear axle wheels are released, so that no large stress accumulation occurs in the vehicle suspension during the suspension adjustment process, thereby avoiding the noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's driving experience. By increasing the front axle braking force to keep the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged, the braking requirement of the vehicle is satisfied at the same time, ensuring driving safety.

[0075] In one embodiment, step S208, releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request can specifically be: reducing the front axle braking force and increasing the rear axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.

[0076] Wherein, the rear axle braking force refers to the braking force applied by the braking system to the rear axle wheels through the brakes, and the front axle braking force refers to the braking force applied by the braking system to the front axle wheels through the brakes.

[0077] It should be noted that when releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request, the specific braking force adjustment data can be calibrated according to the actual vehicle conditions and the vehicle surrounding environment.

[0078] In a specific and feasible implementation manner, reducing the front axle braking force and increasing the rear axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged can be: completely releasing the front axle braking force and increasing the rear axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.

[0079] In this embodiment, by completely releasing the front axle braking force, not all the vehicle wheels are in the locked state, and the front axle wheels are released, so that no large stress accumulation occurs in the vehicle suspension during the suspension adjustment process, thereby avoiding the noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's driving experience. By increasing the rear axle braking force to keep the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged, the braking requirement of the vehicle is satisfied at the same time, ensuring driving safety.

[0080] In one embodiment, step S208, releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on the braking force release request can specifically be: alternately reducing the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force, and increasing the rear axle braking force while reducing the front axle braking force, and increasing the front axle braking force while reducing the rear axle braking force, so as to keep the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.

[0081] By releasing and reducing the braking force of the vehicle, some wheels are withdrawn from the braking locked state, so as to avoid stress accumulation during the suspension adjustment of the vehicle, thereby avoiding the noise and vibration caused by stress accumulation and improving the user's driving experience.

[0082] Furthermore, the above method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation may further include the following steps: obtaining the vehicle speed, the status of the auto hold function, and the braking pedal travel; if the vehicle speed is less than a preset speed threshold, the braking pedal travel is greater than 0 and / or the auto hold function is in the activated state, it is determined that the vehicle is in the stationary braking state.

[0083] Wherein, the preset speed threshold is a speed threshold pre-calibrated by developers for judging whether the vehicle is in a stationary state. In actual application, the preset speed threshold can be 0 or a speed threshold close to 0.

[0084] The auto hold function means that when the driver steps on the braking pedal and temporarily stops the vehicle, after the vehicle stops and the braking pedal is lifted, the vehicle braking system still maintains the braking force on the vehicle to keep the vehicle in the braking state.

[0085] In one embodiment, when the brake pedal travel is greater than 0 and the automatic parking function is in an active state, the braking force corresponding to the brake pedal travel is compared with the braking force corresponding to the automatic parking function: if the braking force corresponding to the brake pedal travel is greater than the braking force corresponding to the automatic parking function, when releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on a braking force release request, the total braking force received by the vehicle is maintained as the braking force corresponding to the brake pedal travel; if the braking force corresponding to the brake pedal travel is less than the braking force corresponding to the automatic parking function, when releasing the braking force of the vehicle based on a braking force release request, the total braking force received by the vehicle is maintained as the braking force corresponding to the automatic parking function.

[0086] It should be further noted that, in actual application, the execution subject of the method for avoiding suspension stress accumulation provided by one or more embodiments of the present invention may be a program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation. This program can be set in the active suspension system and the braking system.

[0087] In a feasible implementation manner, the program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation in the active suspension system obtains the vehicle speed. When detecting that the vehicle speed is 0, the program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation detects the working state of the suspension actuator. In response to monitoring that the suspension actuator adjusts the suspension height based on a suspension height adjustment signal, it estimates the suspension cumulative stress generated by adjusting the suspension height based on the suspension height adjustment signal. If the suspension cumulative stress is greater than a preset stress threshold, it generates a braking force release request and sends the braking force release request to the program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation in the braking system; the program for avoiding suspension stress accumulation in the braking system obtains the automatic parking function state and the brake pedal travel. If the brake pedal travel is greater than 0 and / or the automatic parking function is in an active state, it determines that the vehicle is in a braking state. At this time, it releases the braking force of the vehicle according to the braking force release request. Releasing the braking force of the vehicle according to the braking force release request may be: reducing the rear axle braking force and increasing the front axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged; or, reducing the front axle braking force and increasing the rear axle braking force while keeping the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged; or, alternately reducing the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force, and increasing the rear axle braking force while reducing the front axle braking force, and increasing the front axle braking force while reducing the rear axle braking force to keep the total braking force received by the vehicle unchanged.
