Abstract

The application provides a steering assist control method and device for large new energy vehicles. In the application, compensation assist and bend compensation assist can automatically increase assist to offset the increase in righting moment caused by the surge in tire vertical load and lateral force when the vehicle is fully loaded or high-speed bends, preventing the driver from making mistakes or delaying reactions due to the sudden weight of the steering wheel in critical situations (such as emergency obstacle avoidance or high-speed bending). Based on the basic assist and damping, the steering feel is stable during high-speed driving, significantly reducing the problem of excessive steering sensitivity caused by the steering wheel being too light, avoiding uncontrollable swinging of the vehicle trajectory, especially the bend compensation assist, which allows the driver to retain clear road feel at low speed and fully intervene in compensation at high speed. This not only ensures the intuitiveness of low-speed control, but also ensures high-speed stability, thereby improving safety during turning.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Large new energy vehicles are equipped with relatively fast processors, providing a platform for dynamic compensation. They also feature a variety of sensors that can acquire various parameters of the vehicle in real time during operation, such as its current speed. Steering wheel torque Steering wheel speed ,gross weight and lateral acceleration These driving parameters provide data support for dynamic compensation.

[0033] Figure 1 This application provides a flowchart illustrating a steering assist control method for large new energy vehicles, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0034] Step 101: Obtain the vehicle's current speed Steering wheel torque Steering wheel speed ,gross weight lateral acceleration ;

[0035] Step 102, based on speed And the preset maximum assist torque gain during low-speed movement. The preset minimum assist torque gain during high-speed motion Determine the speed The boost torque gain provided by the lower power steering system .

[0036] Step 103, based on speed And the preset assist saturation torque during low-speed movement Preset assist saturation torque during high-speed motion Determine the speed Saturation torque provided by the steering assist system .

[0037] Step 104, the base assist torque provided by the steering assist system at the speed , the assist torque gain and the saturation torque are calculated according to the steering wheel torque . .

[0038] Step 105, the compensation torque coefficient of the steering assist system at the current load of the vehicle is calculated according to the total weight and the empty vehicle weight . .

[0039] Step 106, the damping torque of the steering assist system at the speed is determined according to the speed , the steering wheel rotation speed , the preset maximum damping torque during low-speed movement and the preset minimum damping torque during high-speed movement . .

[0040] Step 107, the over-bend compensation assist torque coefficient provided by the steering assist system when the vehicle is over-bending at the speed is calculated according to the speed , the lateral acceleration , the total weight . .

[0041] Step 108, the base assist torque is compensated using the compensation torque coefficient , and the compensated base assist torque is corrected using the damping torque and the over-bend compensation assist torque coefficient to obtain the assist torque currently required by the steering assist system .

[0042] Step 109, the steering assist system is controlled according to the assist torque .

[0043] Specifically, the assist torque required during the turning process is different at different speeds, the assist torque gain determines the ease of turning, and the assist torque gain Essentially, it's the torque amplification factor. A higher gain makes steering easier, as the power steering system provides a large amount of assist torque, making the steering feel very light and easy for the driver. A lower gain requires more effort to achieve noticeable assist torque, making the steering feel very stable. Furthermore, different speeds require different steering feels—for example, a stable feel at high speeds and a light feel at low speeds. Therefore, to determine the appropriate torque amplification factor, it's necessary to use a pre-set maximum torque amplification factor for low-speed driving. The preset minimum assist torque gain during high-speed motion And the current speed is determined at the speed The boost torque gain provided by the lower power steering system To achieve increased torque at low speeds Need to increase the torque of the smaller steering wheel This allows for greater power assist torque, resulting in lighter steering; at high speeds, the power assist torque gain... It needs to be reduced, and more steering wheel torque is required. Only in this way can the same assist torque be obtained, the feel becomes heavier, thus giving the driver a better cornering feel.

[0044] Saturated torque This determines the maximum assist torque that the power steering system can provide, and the saturation torque. A higher torque means that even with heavy steering, the power assist torque will continue to increase linearly, providing strong and continuous assistance. (Saturation torque) A low torque level means the assist torque will quickly reach its limit, and no matter how much force you apply, the assist torque will not increase further. This preserves more road feedback and prevents a "false lightness" feel, adjusting according to the current speed. And the preset assist saturation torque during low-speed movement Preset assist saturation torque during high-speed motion To determine the appropriate saturation torque for the current speed V. This allows the driver to obtain a relatively suitable assist torque.

[0045] After obtaining the boost torque gain and saturation torque After that, it is necessary to combine the steering wheel torque. Calculation speed The basic assist torque provided by the lower steering assist system To avoid sudden changes in feel.

[0046] When a vehicle is carrying a load, the required assistance needs to be increased, therefore it can be adjusted based on the total weight. and empty vehicle weight The compensation torque coefficient of the power steering system is obtained. This affects the basic assist torque. Compensation is made to accommodate the current total weight of the vehicle.

[0047] To suppress unnecessary rapid turning, a system needs to be provided that is synchronized with the steering wheel rotation speed. Conversely, damping torque primarily functions to suppress excessive lightness and vibration of the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary, and to address the sluggishness of the engine speed at high speeds, thus requiring consideration of speed. Steering wheel speed And the preset maximum damping torque during low-speed motion. and the preset minimum damping torque during high-speed motion To determine the speed Damping torque of the lower steering assist system This allows us to obtain a damping torque that is appropriate for the current speed.

[0048] Because a self-aligning force occurs when cornering, and this self-aligning force is related to speed... lateral acceleration ,gross weight All of these are relevant; to counteract the self-correcting force during cornering, it is necessary to adjust the speed accordingly. lateral acceleration ,gross weight Calculate the vehicle's speed The cornering compensation torque coefficient provided by the power steering system when cornering out of a corner This is to counteract unpredictable torque changes at high speeds and improve stability.

[0049] After obtaining the compensation torque coefficient Damping torque and cornering compensation assist torque coefficient Then, by compensating for the torque coefficient Basic assist torque Compensation is performed to obtain the assist torque that adapts to the total weight of the current vehicle, and then the damping torque is applied. and cornering compensation assist torque coefficient The assist torque is adjusted to obtain an assist torque that is suitable for the current cornering situation. This makes the driver's turning feel relatively suitable.

[0050] In the present application, when the vehicle is turning, the current driving parameters of the vehicle are obtained to obtain corresponding compensation data and correction data. Through the compensation torque coefficient and the over-turning compensation boost torque coefficient, the boost torque can be automatically increased when the vehicle is fully loaded or high-speed over-turning to offset the increase of the righting moment caused by the vertical load and lateral force of the tire, so as to prevent the driver from operating incorrectly or delaying the reaction due to the sudden weight of the steering wheel in critical moments (such as emergency obstacle avoidance or high-speed over-turning). Based on the basic boost torque and the damping torque, the steering feel is stable during high-speed driving, which significantly reduces the problem of over-sensitive steering caused by the too light steering wheel, avoids uncontrollable swinging of the vehicle trajectory, and especially the over-turning compensation torque coefficient. The driver retains clear road feeling at low speed, and fully intervenes in compensation at high speed, which not only ensures the intuitiveness of low-speed operation, but also ensures the stability at high speed, thereby improving the safety during turning.

[0051] It should be noted that when controlling the steering boost system, the control of the steering boost system can be realized by controlling the current size or the opening degree of the steering valve, so that the boost torque provided by the steering boost system is The specific control strategy can be set according to the type of actual steering boost system, and is not limited here.

[0052] It should be noted that the total weight of the vehicle generally does not change during driving, so the compensation torque coefficient only needs to be calculated once and stored. When the compensation torque coefficient is needed for compensation during the current driving process, the stored data can be retrieved.

[0053] It should be noted again that the sensors in the vehicle are usually collected at a certain frequency, and when the steering boost system is controlled between two collection periods, the boost torque calculated using the data collected in the earlier collection period of the two collection periods is controlled. .

[0054] In a feasible implementation, when step 102 is performed, the boost torque gain is calculated using formula one as follows: :

[0055] ; formula one

[0056] wherein, is a preset speed threshold for distinguishing high-speed motion and low-speed motion, represents a hyperbolic tangent function.

[0057] Specifically, can be set to 50 km / h, and when higher than high speed motion, when below low speed motion, corresponding speed is shown in The hyperbolic tangent function is used to achieve a smooth transition of the parameters with the vehicle speed, avoiding abrupt changes in the feel.

[0058] In one possible implementation, when performing step 103, the saturated torque is calculated using the following equation two :

[0059] Equation two

[0060] In one possible implementation, when performing step 104, the base assist torque is calculated using the following equation three :

[0061] Equation three

[0062] wherein, is a shape factor of the preset base assist torque and the preset steering wheel torque growth curve, and is equal to 2.

[0063] In one possible implementation, when performing step 105, the compensation torque coefficient is calculated using the following equation four :

[0064] Equation four

[0065] wherein, is a nonlinear factor representing a nonlinear relationship between the increase of the vehicle steering resistance and the increase of the vehicle load, and is a positive number less than 1, is a preset load compensation coefficient of the vehicle, wherein, the value of is in the range of 0.2-0.8.

[0066] In one possible implementation, when performing step 106, the damping torque is calculated using the following equation five :

[0067] Equation five

[0068] wherein, exp is an exponential decay function, represents the rate of the control damping decay with the vehicle speed, and is in the range of 30 km / h to 50 km / h.

[0069] Specifically, the negative sign in equation five indicates that the damping force always hinders the motion direction, is an equivalent damping torque coefficient, which is a quantity varying with the vehicle speed, and the damping torque coefficient is Its main function is to suppress excessive lightness and vibration of the steering wheel when the vehicle is stationary. As the vehicle speed V increases, this value decreases sharply to 0, and the damping torque coefficient becomes... This reduces damping torque at high speeds, ensuring a stable feel while preventing a sticky sensation. The smaller the value, the faster the decay.

[0070] In one feasible implementation, when performing step 107, the cornering compensation assist torque coefficient is calculated using the following formula six. :

[0071]

[0072] Formula Six

[0073] in, Indicates the direction of lateral acceleration. The preset compensation rate as a function of lateral acceleration is 0.5 m / s². 2 Up to 3.0 m / s 2 , This is a preset speed constant, ranging from 0.02 to 0.1, with units equal to speed. same, The preset gain constant for cornering compensation is 0.001 kg. 1 Up to 0.01kg 1 .

[0074] Specifically, Ensure the direction of the compensation distance is consistent with the turning direction; the return torque is closely related to the total mass. It is a smooth saturation function that describes the compensation amount as a function of lateral acceleration. The relationship of increasing The smaller the value, the greater the compensation. The faster it increases, This refers to speed-related compensation gain. During low-speed, large-angle steering, the significant self-centering torque is a crucial road feel that the driver expects to experience. Compensating for this gain would result in an unnatural driving feel, therefore it is necessary to... , This means that the system provides almost no cornering compensation when making a U-turn at low speeds. At high speeds... This means that full compensation needs to be provided to offset unpredictable torque changes at high speeds and improve stability.

[0075] In one feasible implementation, when performing step 108, the assist is calculated using the following formula seven. :

[0076] Equation seven.

[0077] Specifically, the basic assistance torque is the skeleton of the entire assistance system, establishes the touch base tone, and compensates the torque coefficient is used to correct the basic assistance torque, and the damping torque is used to suppress jitter, improve stability, and compensate the assistance torque coefficient when turning is used to offset the change in return moment, and the assistance torque of the vehicle at the current turning time can be obtained through equation seven.
