Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle wire-controlled chassis suspension control, and in particular to the field of fully active suspension technology that uses a motor system as a power source and realizes real-time adjustment of the suspension vertical force through a hydraulic system or a mechanical system. Specifically, it relates to a vehicle steering body posture and handling stability control method. Background Art
[0002] In the field of active suspension technology, "slow" active suspension, or air springs, are currently widely used. Air springs offer height adjustment, but because they typically take more than 5 seconds to adjust from their compression limit to their extension limit or vice versa, they have a low control bandwidth and a long response time, making it difficult to meet the requirements for dynamic compensation of vehicle posture. Dual-chamber air springs offer stiffness adjustment, but due to vehicle comfort requirements, the stiffness cannot be set to infinite, and due to physical structural limitations, it is even more impossible to set it to negative stiffness. Therefore, stiffness adjustment can only suppress vehicle steering roll to a certain extent, but cannot continuously control the vehicle's roll motion, let alone produce a roll angle in the opposite direction.
[0003] In the field of semi-active suspension, continuously adjustable shock absorbers are currently widely used. The damping force is a passively generated force, equal to the damping coefficient multiplied by the relative velocity, and its direction is opposite to the relative velocity. Due to the need for comfort, the shock absorber damping cannot be adjusted to infinity, and continuously adjustable shock absorbers do not actively output suspension force. The characteristics of the damping force indicate that the damping force can only reduce the roll rate to a certain extent and cannot produce a roll angle in the opposite direction, thus limiting its effectiveness in controlling vehicle roll.
[0004] Active suspension uses a motor system as its power source and achieves real-time adjustment of the suspension's vertical force through a hydraulic system or a mechanical system. Within the actuator's output capacity, it can quickly, in real time, and in any direction adjust the compression and extension of each suspension, with the potential to improve the vehicle's body posture and handling stability during cornering.
[0005] There are few existing methods involving the integrated consideration of vehicle posture control and handling stability control for fully active suspension. Summary of the Invention

These two controllers are combined to achieve the goal of improving both the comfort and safety of the vehicle during cornering.
[0032] 2) Both the vehicle posture control and handling stability control adopt a feedforward-feedback control architecture, avoiding the problems of slow response and large overshoot when only feedback control is used, making the posture control and handling stability control more "natural" while also avoiding the problem of poor robustness to model parameter perturbations when only feedforward control is used.
[0033] 3) The body posture feedback control signal is derived from the fusion of the nonlinear vehicle model estimation signal and the measured signal. This not only prevents the body posture control from being affected by road input during vehicle steering, thereby improving system stability, but also saves four body height sensors, reducing system cost.

[0054] Step 1: Collect control-related vehicle signals, including but not limited to ① steering wheel angle, ② steering wheel angular velocity, ③ steering wheel input torque, and ④ vehicle speed.
[0055] Step 2: The vehicle posture feedforward-feedback controller calculates the total anti-roll moment M of the vehicle Tol , including M Tol_Comp 、M Tol_Norm 、M Tol_Spt etc., among which: ①M Tol_Comp Corresponding to a leisurely and comfortable driving style; ②M Tol_Nor Corresponding to daily driving style; ③M Tol_Spt This method is suitable for aggressive driving styles and mainly includes sub-steps 2-1 to 2-6.
[0056] In the present invention, M Comf The vehicle generates a negative roll angle of 0 to 3 degrees (can be calibrated on the actual vehicle) at any vehicle speed and any steering wheel angle in a steady state input to offset part of the lateral acceleration and improve ride comfort; Norm The vehicle can offset 50% to 95% of the roll angle (can be calibrated on the actual vehicle) at any vehicle speed and any steering wheel angle in a steady state, improving ride comfort while retaining a certain roll angle to help users perceive vehicle dynamics; Spt Make the vehicle as close to horizontal as possible under any speed and any steering wheel angle steady-state input to avoid body roll and the resulting changes in steering characteristics, while helping users gain a more stable driving field of view.
[0057] Sub-step 2-1, the vehicle posture feedforward controller receives signals such as steering wheel angle, angular velocity, steering torque and vehicle speed, and calculates the first anti-roll moment M Ff , including M Ff_Comf 、M Ff_Norm 、M Ff_Spt The calculation method can be a table lookup method or an online calculation method. The table lookup method obtains the optimal control quantity curve through offline simulation in advance and stores it in the software. The current control quantity is obtained by looking up the table through input signals such as steering wheel angle, angular velocity, vehicle speed, etc. The online calculation method can use feedforward controllers including but not limited to the following types G ff (s), the transfer function expression can be in the following forms:
[0058] ①G ff =K ff , this form focuses on feedforward steady-state compensation;
[0059] ② This form focuses on feedforward steady-state replenishment and delay compensation;
[0060] ③ This form focuses on calculating feedforward steady-state compensation and dynamic compensation;
[0061] ④ This form takes into account feedforward steady-state compensation, dynamic compensation and delay compensation.
[0062] Among them, K ff is the steady-state compensation gain, which can be obtained through experimental calibration or theoretical calculation. In theoretical calculation, its value is the ratio of the steady-state system input gain to the system noise gain; s is the Laplace operator; L ff is the system delay time, which can be obtained through experimental calibration or theoretical calculation. In theoretical calculation, its value is the difference between the system noise response delay and the system input response delay; T z 、T p The system input response time constant and the system noise response time constant can be obtained through experimental calibration or dynamic modeling analysis.
[0063] Sub-step 2-2, integrate the control variables of the vehicle posture feedforward controller and feedback controller to obtain the total anti-roll moment M of the vehicle Tol , including M Tol_Comp 、M Tol_Norm 、M Tol_Spt The control variables of the vehicle posture feedforward controller are derived from sub-step 2-1, and the control variables of the vehicle posture feedback controller are derived from sub-step 2-6 (to avoid an algebraic loop, the control variables need to be delayed by one cycle). Methods for synthesizing control variables include, but are not limited to: ① superposition; ② weighted summation.
[0064] Sub-step 2-3: Output the vehicle's total anti-roll moment M Tol , including M Tol_Comp 、M Tol_Norm 、M Tol_Spt , on the one hand it is output to step 4, on the other hand it is output to sub-steps 2-4.
[0065] Substeps 2-4 estimate the vehicle state based on a nonlinear vehicle dynamics model. The inputs of this nonlinear vehicle dynamics model are vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, and steering wheel speed, and the outputs include but are not limited to: ① lateral acceleration; ② yaw rate; ③ rear axle center of mass slip angle; ④ vehicle roll angle; ⑤ vehicle roll velocity; and ⑥ vehicle roll angle.
[0066] In the present invention, compared with conventional linear models, the nonlinear vehicle dynamics model takes into account the nonlinearity of the tire and the nonlinearity of the suspension. The nonlinearity of the tire is mainly reflected in the nonlinearity of the tire cornering stiffness with vertical load and longitudinal force, and the nonlinearity of the tire aligning torque with vertical load and longitudinal force. The nonlinearity of the suspension is mainly reflected in the nonlinearity of the spring stiffness, the nonlinearity of the suspension damping, the nonlinearity of the buffer block, and the nonlinearity of the suspension structure. These nonlinear effects are all separated from the linear model and updated by table lookup, which avoids the loss of accuracy caused by linearization and improves the overall estimation accuracy. Sub-steps 2-5 perform signal fusion based on the estimated vehicle state and the actual vehicle state measured by the sensor. The signal fusion method is as follows: when the vehicle is in a stable state, the calculation results of the nonlinear vehicle dynamics model are used; when the vehicle is in an unstable state, the actual measured signals of the on-board sensors are used; when the vehicle is between stable and unstable states, a fusion method including the Kalman filter method is used.
[0067] In the present invention, when the difference between the estimated yaw rate and the actual yaw rate is greater than a calibrated threshold value A1, or when the difference between the estimated center of mass sideslip angle and the actual center of mass roll angle is greater than a certain calibrated threshold value B1, the vehicle is considered to have entered an unstable state. When the difference in yaw rate is less than A2 and the difference in center of mass sideslip angle is less than B2, the vehicle is considered to have entered a stable state. At other times, the vehicle is considered to be between a stable and unstable state range.
[0068] Sub-step 2-6, based on the vehicle state after the signal fusion output from sub-step 2-5, feedback control is performed to calculate and output the anti-roll moment M Ff , including M Ff_Comp 、M Ff_Norm 、M Ff_Spt , the feedback control methods include but are not limited to: ① table lookup; ② proportional control; ③ PI control; ④ PD control; ⑤ PID control; ⑥ sliding mode control; ⑦ MPC control; ⑧ robust control.

Mainly includes sub-steps 3-1 to 3-4.
[0070] In the present invention, f Comf Greater than the ratio of the front and rear roll stiffness of the vehicle without active suspension, f Conv , the vehicle tends to increase understeer, making it easier to control and less likely to drift; f Norm Approximately equal to f Conv, the vehicle maintains the steering characteristics of the conventional suspension, and the user is not easily aware of the control intervention; f Norm Less than f Conv , the vehicle tends to reduce understeer, making the vehicle's yaw gain greater, steering more sensitive, and cornering faster;
[0071] Sub-step 3-1, the handling stability feedforward controller receives signals such as steering wheel angle, angular velocity, steering torque and vehicle speed, and calculates the first front and rear axle anti-roll moment distribution ratio f, including: f Ff_Comf 、f Ff_Norm 、f Ff_Spt The calculation method can be a table lookup method or an online calculation method. The table lookup method obtains the optimal control quantity curve through offline simulation in advance and stores it in the software. The current control quantity is obtained by looking up the table through input signals such as steering wheel angle, angular velocity, vehicle speed, etc. The online calculation method can use feedforward controllers including but not limited to the following types G ff , the transfer function expression can be in the following forms:
[0072] ①G ff =K ff , this form focuses on feedforward steady-state compensation;
[0073] ② This form focuses on feedforward steady-state replenishment and delay compensation;
[0074] ③ This form focuses on calculating feedforward steady-state compensation and dynamic compensation;
[0075] ④ This form takes into account feedforward steady-state compensation, dynamic compensation and delay compensation.
[0076] Among them, K ff is the steady-state compensation gain, which can be obtained through experimental calibration or theoretical calculation. In theoretical calculation, its value is the ratio of the steady-state system input gain to the system noise gain; s is the Laplace operator; L ff is the system delay time, which can be obtained through experimental calibration or theoretical calculation. In theoretical calculation, its value is the difference between the system noise response delay and the system input response delay; T z 、T p The system input response time constant and the system noise response time constant can be obtained through experimental calibration or dynamic modeling analysis.

Tol , the mapping relationship between driving style and total anti-roll moment should be defined by the OEM.
[0081] Sub-step 4-2: Compensate and correct the total anti-roll moment of the vehicle, and output the corrected total anti-roll moment M Tol_Comp . According to the current vehicle status and system status, the total anti-roll moment of the vehicle is compensated and corrected.
[0082] In the present invention, M Tol_Comp Compensation and correction include but are not limited to:

[0088] ⑤ Compensation based on the nonlinearity of the fully active suspension structure: According to the table lookup, the transmission ratio of the fully active suspension is obtained (this value is generally not a constant and varies with the suspension travel), and the control force is compared to compensate;
[0089] ⑥ Compensation based on the inertia of the fully active suspension actuator: Based on the relative acceleration of the vehicle body and wheels, the rotational acceleration of the active suspension motor and other rotating components is calculated.

[0099] The method of the present invention simultaneously optimizes vehicle posture and handling stability during steering, aiming to improve driver and passenger comfort and vehicle safety. First, the method calculates the total anti-roll torque using a vehicle posture feedforward-feedback controller. Outputting an appropriate anti-roll torque can reduce or eliminate steering roll, and can even generate a negative roll angle to offset centrifugal force, thereby improving driver and passenger comfort. Second, the front-to-rear axle distribution ratio of the anti-roll torque is calculated using a handling stability feedforward-feedback controller. This ratio influences the amount of wheel load transferred between the front and rear axles during steering, and thus the vehicle's steering characteristics. By controlling this ratio, the vehicle's understeer / oversteer characteristics can be dynamically adjusted in real time, thereby widening the vehicle's stability margins and improving driving safety and enjoyment. Finally, the method also considers the selection of feedback signals under different operating conditions, parameter selection to suit different driving styles, and compensation and correction of the anti-roll torque. This method exhibits excellent engineering feasibility and scalability, balancing vehicle comfort and handling stability. It is applicable to various types of fully active suspensions and active stabilizers, and has broad application prospects.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be considered as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
