Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle electronic control system, in particular to a commercial vehicle ECAS system mode recognition and control method and system. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of automobile technology, the requirements of vehicle for driving safety, comfort and handling are increasingly improved. As a key part of vehicle chassis control, ECAS system can adjust the stiffness and damping of air suspension in real time according to the driving state and road conditions of the vehicle, so as to optimize the driving performance of the vehicle. However, the existing ECAS system still has certain limitations in mode recognition and control strategy, the mode coverage is not comprehensive enough, and it cannot fully meet the requirements of complex and variable driving and working conditions. There are deficiencies in the depth cooperation with other systems in the chassis domain (such as tire pressure monitoring, braking system, etc.), which leads to the fact that the performance of the vehicle cannot be fully exerted. When the vehicle is turning, it is difficult to accurately judge the situation of the curve and adjust the height of the vehicle body in time to effectively prevent rollover; in different driving modes, it is difficult to achieve optimal control according to the actual state of the vehicle, and there is a lack of intelligent control of the lifting bridge and cooperation with other systems in the chassis domain, which leads to the fact that the performance of the vehicle cannot be fully exerted.

[0003] In the field of vehicle electronic control technology, there are many limitations in the mode recognition and related control scheme of traditional ECAS system. The recognition of vehicle operating mode depends on single or few parameters, which is difficult to comprehensively and accurately determine the complex working conditions of the vehicle.

[0004] 1. Single mode recognition parameter: Many existing ECAS systems rely on too limited parameters when identifying the operating mode of the vehicle. For example, only the vehicle speed is used to determine the driving assistance mode, without considering key factors such as engine torque and road slope, which leads to misjudgment of the mode in complex conditions and cannot provide accurate power assistance in time, reducing the performance of the vehicle during acceleration and climbing.

[0005] 2. Lack of coordination in control: In the control of the lifting bridge and air bag function, the existing technology controls them independently. When the lifting bridge is in action, the air bag pressure cannot be adjusted in conjunction, which causes the imbalance of the vehicle body posture, aggravates the feeling of driving bumpiness, and seriously affects the vehicle handling stability and driving comfort, especially when the road conditions are complex and the mode is frequently switched. SUMMARY

[0011] Optionally, if the current working condition mode of the vehicle is the super-nuclear state mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including: determine whether the engine torque exceeds the limit value, if so, further determine whether the current vehicle speed continuously exceeds the set value for more than the preset time, if so, control the lifting bridge to automatically fall, so that the tire contacts the ground to increase the load sharing of the load bearing point, and adjust the pressure by inflating the load bearing air bag to support the vehicle body.

[0012] Optionally, if the current working condition mode of the vehicle is the torque limiting response mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including: If the vehicle is in a static state and the throttle opening is greater than the set value, it is determined as ASR intervention starting torque limiting, enters the drive assistance mode and actively reduces the load bearing air bag pressure to increase the drive axle load; If the vehicle has a speed and a steering under the condition that the ESC is working, enter the anti-roll control mode, inflate the air bag on the outside; If the vehicle is in a running state and in a non-EBS activated state, it is determined as engine active torque limiting, the pressure of the load bearing air bag of the whole vehicle is reduced to reduce the height of the vehicle body, and a prompt information is sent to the instrument when the vehicle is equipped with a lifting bridge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Various embodiments of the present disclosure can have various embodiments, and adjustments and changes can be made therein. However, it should be understood that there is no intention to limit various embodiments of the present disclosure to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but the present disclosure should be understood to encompass all adjustments, equivalents and / or alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0021] Hereinafter, the term "include" or "may include" used in various embodiments of the present disclosure indicates the presence of the disclosed function or operation, and does not limit the addition of one or more functions or operations. In addition, as used in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the terms "include", "have" and their synonyms merely mean to indicate the presence of a specific feature, number, step, operation, or combination of the foregoing, and should not be understood as excluding the presence or possibility of addition of one or more features, numbers, steps, operations, or combinations of the foregoing in advance.

[0022] In various embodiments of the present disclosure, the expression "or" or "at least one of A or / and B" includes any combination of the listed terms or all combinations thereof. For example, the expression "A or B" or "at least one of A or / and B" can include A, can include B, or can include both A and B.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 The flowchart of the recognition and control method of the commercial vehicle ECAS system mode in an embodiment is shown, which includes the following execution steps: Step 100: Obtain vehicle state parameters.

[0025] Specifically, the vehicle state parameters include one or more of vehicle speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, engine torque, throttle opening, steering wheel angle, vehicle body height, airbag pressure, axle load signal, slope signal, power take-off switch state, pre-charging / discharging switch state.

[0026] Step 101: Based on the vehicle state parameters, identify the current working condition mode of the vehicle.

[0027] The working condition mode includes at least one of a driving assistance mode, a traction mode, a roll control mode, an over-boost state mode, a torque limiting mode, a power take-off linkage mode, a pre-charging and unloading mode, and a fault emergency mode.

[0028] Step 102: According to the identified working condition mode, a corresponding control strategy is executed.

[0029] The control strategy includes lift control of the lifting bridge, inflation and deflation control of the air bag, and cooperative control with the brake system, the steering system and the instrument system in the chassis domain.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, if the current working condition mode of the vehicle is the driving assistance mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: S1: When receiving an opening signal of the driving assistance function switch, the current driving condition of the vehicle is judged.

[0031] A: If the vehicle is in an acceleration condition, the rear axle air bag pressure is increased.

[0032] B: If the vehicle is in a deceleration condition, the front axle air bag pressure is increased according to the axle load signal.

[0033] C: If the vehicle is in a slow deceleration condition, the axle load signal is sent to the chassis domain to coordinate the brake system to adjust the brake force distribution.

[0034] For example, when the driving assistance function switch is opened, through analysis of the parameters, the system can determine the current driving condition of the vehicle, such as acceleration, deceleration, climbing, etc. When the system identifies that the vehicle is in an acceleration condition, the steering wheel angle is less than 90°, the accelerator pedal is more than 30%, and the acceleration is greater than 0.3g for 1s, at this time the rear axle air bag pressure is increased, if the condition is not met, the system will exit after a delay of 3s, which makes the vehicle body posture more stable, reduces the phenomenon of lifting the head, improves the acceleration performance and handling stability; in the deceleration condition, the brake pedal is more than 50%, the vehicle load is determined according to the axle load, the front axle air bag pressure is increased according to the load, which avoids excessive nodding of the vehicle body, improves the comfort and safety during braking, and combines the brake system and power distribution system in the chassis domain, when the brake pedal is less than 50% to enter the slow deceleration state, the ECAS system sends the axle load signal to the chassis domain to coordinate the brake system to adjust the brake force distribution, the axle load is distributed more brake force, which further improves the braking effect.

[0035] S2: Read the IMU slope signal, if the vehicle is in an uphill condition, coordinate the brake system ASR to adjust the driving wheel torque, and at the same time reduce the lifting bridge bearing air bag pressure.

[0036] For example, when reading the IMU gradient signal and identifying uphill conditions, the ASR (Automatic Braking System) adjusts the drive wheel torque to prevent slippage, the axle load-bearing airbag reduces air pressure, and the load on the rear axle is distributed to the drive axle to further improve driving force.

[0037] By integrating multiple parameters to assist control, the system improves power performance during acceleration and hill climbing, reduces changes in vehicle posture, and enhances stability.

[0038] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in traction mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: SA: When a traction mode activation signal is received, obtain the current total mass and axle load distribution of the vehicle.

[0039] SB: When the vehicle is empty, as the cargo weight increases, the drive axle load is prioritized to reach its rated load. After the drive axle reaches its rated load, any further increase in cargo weight is borne by the lifting axle.

[0040] SC: Once both the drive axle and the lifting axle have reached their rated loads, any further increase in cargo weight will be shared by both the drive axle and the lifting axle, and the axle loads of both the drive axle and the lifting axle will increase simultaneously.

[0041] For example, when the optimal traction mode switch is turned on, the lifting axle will adjust the pressure of the load-bearing airbags to distribute the axle load between the lifting axle and the load-bearing axle according to the axle load. When the cargo weight is continuously increased from an empty position, in order to ensure the driving axle's driving capacity, the axle load of the driving axle is first brought to the rated load, and then the cargo weight is increased and carried by the lifting axle. When the driving axle and the lifting axle both reach their rated loads, the two types of axles share the load when the weight is increased, and the axle load increases simultaneously.

[0042] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in anti-roll control mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: S1: Obtain the height sensor values ​​on both sides of the vehicle suspension and calculate the height difference.

[0043] S2: Obtain the yaw rate calculated by the IMU.

[0044] S3: When the height difference exceeds the preset threshold and the yaw rate meets the condition, it is determined that there is a risk of rollover, and the airbag on the outside of the curve is inflated according to the steering direction.

[0045] Among them, the pressure increase of the front axle airbag is greater than that of the rear axle airbag.

[0046] For example, the height sensor values ​​on both sides of the suspension determine whether the left-right height difference exceeds a set value, and this, combined with the yaw rate calculated by the IMU, determines whether anti-roll control is needed. If the limit is exceeded, the outer airbag of the corner is rapidly inflated according to the steering direction, controlling the height difference, with the front axle increment greater than the rear axle to suppress roll center shift. The adjustment force is enhanced at high speeds, and the stiffness is adaptively adjusted according to load changes. In the event of vehicle loss of control, the airbag pressure is reduced, thereby lowering the vehicle height to improve stability, working in conjunction with ESC.

[0047] By dynamically adjusting the anti-roll based on the roll angle, the roll angle can be reduced by 40%-60%, improving cornering safety while balancing handling and comfort.

[0048] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in an overcore state mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: determining whether the engine torque exceeds the limit value; if so, further determining whether the current vehicle speed continues to exceed the set value for a preset time; if so, controlling the lifting bridge to automatically drop so that the tires contact the ground to increase the load-bearing points and distribute the load, and adjusting the pressure to support the vehicle body by inflating the load-bearing airbags.

[0049] For example, when the vehicle torque exceeds the limit and the speed exceeds a certain value for 3 seconds, it enters the over-core state and the system immediately triggers linkage control: the lifting bridge automatically lowers, the tires contact the ground to increase the load-bearing points and share more than 30% of the load, and the air suspension adjusts the pressure of the load-bearing airbags by inflating to play a supporting role.

[0050] By determining and coordinating multiple parameters of the super-core state, the roll angle is controlled within a reasonable range, ensuring stability during high-speed and intense maneuvering.

[0051] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently operating in a torque-limiting mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: S1: If the vehicle is stationary and the throttle opening is greater than the set value, it is determined that the ASR intervention is used to limit the starting torque, enter the drive assist mode and actively reduce the pressure of the load-bearing airbag to increase the drive axle load.

[0052] S2: If the vehicle is moving and turning and ESC is active, it enters anti-roll control mode and inflates the outer airbags.

[0053] S3: If the vehicle is in motion and not in an EBS activated state, it is determined that the engine actively limits torque, reduces the pressure of the full-vehicle airbags to lower the vehicle height, and sends a prompt message to the instrument panel when the vehicle is equipped with a lift bridge.

[0054] For example, by monitoring engine torque signals and vehicle driving parameters (vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, throttle opening), when the vehicle is identified as being in a torque-limiting state (such as torque limitation due to engine failure, active torque limiting by the control system, etc.), the torque limitation caused by static accelerator pedal press is considered to be due to ASR activation during start-up. In this case, the load on the vehicle's drive wheels should be increased, actively entering a drive assist state. At this time, in ASR mode, the pressure of the load-bearing airbags is actively reduced, the drive axle core increases, and the driving force of the drive wheels increases. When ESC is activated under vehicle speed and steering conditions, the vehicle enters anti-roll control mode and inflates the outer airbags. In the absence of EBS activation, the active torque limiting is considered to be due to engine issues, reducing the pressure of all vehicle load-bearing airbags and lowering the vehicle height. When the lift axle function is available, the instrument panel reminds the driver to lower the lift axle.

[0055] By employing a graded suspension adjustment strategy for torque-limited conditions, vehicle stability is ensured and power performance loss is compensated.

[0056] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in a power take-off (PTO) linkage mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: when the vehicle is stationary, the load-bearing airbag is inflated; wherein, when the vehicle is a dump truck or a vehicle with a PTO switch function, when the PTO is turned on, the lifting bridge is controlled to automatically fall, and when the PTO is turned off, the lifting bridge is kept in a falling state until a lifting mode command is received from the driver.

[0057] For example, when the vehicle is basically stationary, the support airbag is inflated to improve the stability of the vehicle during operation. When the vehicle is a dump truck or a vehicle with a power take-off (PTO) switch, when the PTO is engaged, the lifting bridge automatically lowers when the vehicle is basically stationary, reducing the impact of vibration from the working equipment on the vehicle and providing support. When the PTO is disengaged, the system remains in this state, and automatically lifts when the driver presses the lifting mode.

[0058] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in a pre-charging and unloading mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: S1: In response to the pre-charge switch signal, pre-inflate the load-bearing airbag when the vehicle is unloaded.

[0059] S2: In response to the unloading switch signal, the airbag on the unloading side is deflated according to the unloading direction, while maintaining the pressure of the airbag on the other side.

[0060] S3: After the unloading action is completed, respond to the recovery command and control the air suspension to return to the normal driving height and posture.

[0061] For example, when the vehicle is empty, instantly loading excessively heavy cargo can put a certain load on the suspension. When the pre-charge switch is pressed, the load-bearing airbag is pre-inflated, providing a buffer effect against the instantaneous loading of cargo. The driver needs to pay attention to the loading environment to prevent any potential hazards caused by pre-charge. The unloading switch, depending on whether the vehicle is unloading from the rear or side, deflates the airbag on the load-bearing side while maintaining pressure on the other airbag, creating a slight downward slope for smooth unloading. After unloading is complete, pressing the switch automatically restores the air suspension to its normal driving height and posture.

[0062] In one specific implementation, if the vehicle is currently in a fault emergency mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, including the following sub-steps: SA: Controls the lift bridge to be in a lowered state and disables the inflation / deflation function of the faulty airbag, maintaining the vehicle's attitude by adjusting the pressure of the remaining normal airbags.

[0063] SB: Sends fault information to the instrument system in the chassis domain and limits the vehicle speed.

[0064] For example, when the ECAS system detects abnormalities such as airbag leakage (pressure drop rate exceeding 0.5 bar / min) or sensor malfunction, the system enters emergency fault mode. It controls the lift axle to be in a lowered state to increase vehicle stability; it disables the inflation / deflation function of the faulty airbag, and maintains this state by inflating / deflating other airbags to adjust the vehicle's posture, ensuring the vehicle can be safely driven to a repair location. It also links with the instrument cluster in the chassis area to display fault codes and warning messages, and limits vehicle speed.

[0065] By adjusting the airbag posture in the emergency failure mode, the vehicle can be safely driven to the repair shop in the event of a failure, thus improving reliability.

[0066] In this embodiment, the ECAS system can be controlled to achieve intelligent control of the lift axle and precise inflation and deflation of the airbags based on whether the vehicle is switched on or actively enters a certain mode. It can also be combined with the chassis domain to coordinate the control of the braking and steering systems, thereby significantly improving the overall performance and driving safety of the vehicle.

[0067] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

1. A method for identifying and controlling the ECAS system mode of a commercial vehicle, characterized in that, include: Obtain vehicle status parameters; Based on the vehicle status parameters, the current operating mode of the vehicle is identified, wherein the operating mode includes at least one of the following: drive assistance mode, traction mode, anti-roll control mode, over-core state mode, torque limiting response mode, power take-off linkage mode, pre-charge and unloading mode, and fault emergency mode. Based on the identified operating mode, the corresponding control strategy is executed, wherein the control strategy includes lifting control of the lifting bridge, inflation and deflation control of the airbag, and coordinated control with the braking system, steering system and instrument system in the chassis domain.

2. The method for identifying and controlling the ECAS system mode of a commercial vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that, If the vehicle is currently in drive assist mode, the corresponding control strategy will be executed, including: When a signal indicating that the drive assist function switch is turned on is received, the current driving condition of the vehicle is determined. If the vehicle is accelerating, the pressure of the rear axle airbags will be increased. If the vehicle is decelerating, the front axle airbag pressure will be increased based on the axle load signal. If the vehicle is in a slow deceleration condition, an axle load signal is sent to the chassis domain to coordinate with the braking system to adjust the distribution of braking force. If the vehicle is uphill, the IMU gradient signal is read. The ASR braking system adjusts the drive wheel torque and reduces the pressure of the lift axle airbag.

3. The method for identifying and controlling the ECAS system mode of a commercial vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that, If the vehicle is currently in traction mode, the corresponding control strategy will be executed, including: When a traction mode activation signal is received, the current total mass and axle load distribution of the vehicle are obtained. When the vehicle is empty, as the cargo weight increases, the drive axle load is prioritized to reach its rated load. After the drive axle reaches its rated load, any further increase in cargo weight is borne by the lifting axle. Once both the drive axle and the lifting axle have reached their rated loads, any further increase in cargo weight will be shared by both the drive axle and the lifting axle, simultaneously increasing the axle load on both axles.

4. The method for identifying and controlling the ECAS system mode of a commercial vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that, If the vehicle is currently in anti-roll control mode, the corresponding control strategy will be executed, including: Obtain the height sensor values ​​on both sides of the vehicle suspension and calculate the height difference; Obtain the yaw rate calculated by the IMU; When the height difference exceeds a preset threshold and the yaw rate meets the condition, it is determined that there is a risk of roll. Then, the airbags on the outside of the curve are inflated according to the steering direction; wherein, the pressure increment of the front axle airbag is greater than the pressure increment of the rear axle airbag.

5. The method for identifying and controlling the ECAS system mode of a commercial vehicle according to claim 1, characterized in that, If the vehicle is currently in overclocked mode, the corresponding control strategy will be executed, including: If the engine torque exceeds the limit, it will further determine whether the current vehicle speed has been continuously exceeding the set value for a preset time. If so, it will control the lifting bridge to automatically drop so that the tires contact the ground to increase the load-bearing points and distribute the load. The pressure will be adjusted by inflating the load-bearing airbags to support the vehicle body.
