Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a method for determining the stability of a vehicle's angular module based on multidimensional random parameters, and a vehicle thereof. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle corner module highly integrates chassis actuators such as drive, steering, suspension, and braking, improving its controllable degrees of freedom. However, by eliminating the steering tie rod, the vehicle corner module is highly susceptible to steering yaw after initial external disturbances during driving, severely impacting vehicle stability. Furthermore, factors such as modeling errors, material property uncertainties, and measurement errors lead to significant uncertainties in the torsional and lateral stiffness of the vehicle corner module, posing new challenges to revealing its yaw dynamics.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese invention patent with patent application number CN202311296571X, entitled "Sway Judgment Method and Device, Storage Medium, Electronic Equipment", discloses: collecting vehicle steering system data, front axle data, front wheel data, and speed data; establishing a vibration calculus model and a sway discrimination model; using the sway discrimination model to process vehicle driving data and the weight value of each vehicle driving data to obtain the sway discrimination value of the sway system, thus solving the problems of complex operation and low accuracy of sway judgment methods. Chinese invention patent with patent application number CN202311358125.7, entitled "A Vehicle High-Speed ​​Driving Sway System and Method Based on Multi-Sample Analysis", discloses: inputting random excitation loads of tires into a whole-vehicle simulation analysis model; based on the excitation load of a single tire, using standard sensitivity conditions and whole-vehicle sensitivity analysis, finally obtaining the sway response magnitude analysis, thereby being used for the forward development and control of steering wheel sway problems. However, current technical solutions mainly target traditional vehicle chassis architectures, and the research has not yet focused on vehicle corner module architectures. At the same time, it should be noted that the torsional stiffness and lateral stiffness of the vehicle corner module system have a significant impact on the occurrence of shimmy. Current technical solutions all use deterministic structural parameters to establish vehicle shimmy dynamic models, without considering the impact of multidimensional parameter uncertainties in torsional stiffness and lateral stiffness caused by factors such as modeling errors, material property uncertainties, and measurement errors. This leads to difficulties in the analysis and evaluation of instability of vehicle corner modules. Summary of the Invention

If at least one vehicle corner module is judged to be unstable, the four-wheel steering vehicle is judged to be unstable.

[0014] Thirdly, the present invention also proposes a four-wheel steering vehicle, which adopts the stability judgment method for four-wheel steering vehicles in the second aspect to determine whether the four-wheel steering vehicle is stable during driving.

[0015] Fourthly, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the vehicle angle module stability judgment method based on multidimensional random parameter excitation as described in the first aspect.

This makes the constructed vehicle corner module dynamics model more consistent with actual conditions, laying a model foundation for the stability analysis and evaluation of the vehicle corner module, reducing and eliminating the influence of uncertainties, and thus enabling effective analysis and evaluation of vehicle corner module instability.

The analytical expressions for the probability density function and the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the vehicle corner module are obtained based on the stochastic averaging method, enabling analytical analysis and evaluation of the vehicle corner module's instability. The processing procedure is as follows:

[0038] First, we introduce state variables. Transform the vehicle corner module dynamics model into state equations:

[0047] Next, the Jacobian matrix A The speed of the first bifurcation is obtained using Hope's bifurcation theory. v 1, and set the bifurcation parameters m for m = vv 1, that is v = m + v 1. Then introduce new state variables. Y : Y ∈ R 5 , so that: x = pY and will v = m + v 1 and x = pY Substituting into the equations transforms them into:

[0048] .

[0049] in, p The transformation matrix can be obtained by recombination of the real and imaginary parts of the eigenvectors in the state equation.

[0050] Then let the central manifold function be:

[0051] .

[0052] In the formula, i =3, 4, 5. That is, Y =( y 1, y 2, y 3, y 4, y 5), y 1~ y 5 is a state variable. Y The components in. h i (·) represents the central flow function. h i1 ~ h i8 These are the coefficients of the corresponding matrix elements in the central manifold function. The initial condition for this central manifold function is that the values ​​of the central manifold function at the origin are all zero. This is Gaussian white noise. Furthermore, according to the differential theorem, the differentiated central manifold function can be expressed as:

[0054] Substituting the differentiated central manifold function into the transformed state equation, we obtain the initial two-dimensional central manifold of the vehicle angle module:

L s If the value is greater than 0, the vehicle corner module is considered unstable. The stability of all four vehicle corner modules is assessed using this method to analyze and evaluate instability under multidimensional random parameter excitation.

[0073] On the other hand, by solving the average Iton stochastic differential equation using the stochastic averaging method, the probability density function for analyzing vehicle corner module instability can be obtained. P st ( y 1, y 2):

P st ( y 1, y 2) The solution results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the system response converges to the origin only probabilistically, and there is a certain probability of oscillation. This demonstrates that the vehicle corner module stability judgment method proposed in this invention based on multidimensional random parameter excitation is effective.
