Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vehicle engineering technology and relates to a control method based on distributed drive, and more particularly to a steer-by-wire independent steering cross-drive redundancy control method. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional chassis steering systems are mechanical steering systems. During steering, the steering angle of each wheel conforms to the Ackermann principle or satisfies an Ackermann-like steering principle. That is, when the driver turns the steering wheel, the mechanical structure constrains the steering wheels to rotate a certain angle according to the Ackermann steering principle, and the center axes of the four wheels approximately intersect at a single point when the vehicle is turning. With the rise of cornering modules, the steering wheel and each wheel are controlled by electrical signals, allowing for independent steering. This means there is no rigid geometric relationship between the steering wheel's rotation angle and the wheel's steering angle; the steering angle of each wheel is determined by the chassis domain controller after analyzing the driver's intentions and the vehicle's own state. Traditional chassis still have mechanical redundancy in case of steering motor failure. However, when the steering motor of a wire-controlled steering actuator fails, the steering angle and driving torque of the other steering wheels need to be redistributed to achieve the driver's intended trajectory or ensure emergency parking. Currently, there is a lack of methods to achieve the original driver's intended trajectory or emergency parking by distributing driving torque among the four hub motors when a single or multiple wheel steering motors fail and cannot provide power.

Specifically, this method addresses three operating conditions: stuck corner module chassis steering motor or planetary reducer (i.e., stuck kingpin steering), partial failure of the steering motor insufficient to provide sufficient steering driving torque, and complete failure of the steering motor to provide no steering driving torque. It performs cross-system steering redundancy control between the drive system and the rotation system, mainly including angle redundancy, corner module fault diagnosis, and wheel driving torque and angle redistribution. By equipping each corner module kingpin steering unit with hardware and algorithm redundancy of angle sensors, when the steering function of a corner module fails, the current wheel angle can be measured in real time and the fault type can be determined. Then, based on the angle measurement value and the fault type, the wheel driving torque and angle are redistributed, ultimately achieving vehicle control. Attached Figure Description

[0018] S2: Based on the wheel angle estimation value and combined with the kingpin steering gear steering detection angle, filter out abnormal steering angle modules with abnormal steering function.

[0019] S3: For abnormal steering angle modules, based on the estimated steering angle and the kingpin steering detection angle, confirm the wheel steering angle measurement value. Then, based on the wheel steering angle measurement value, filter out the faulty angle modules with kingpin steering failures. If the steering function of all angle modules is normal, then normal driving is possible.

[0020] S4: For faulty corner modules, determine the fault type. If there is a corner module with abnormal steering function but no fault in the kingpin steering system, it indicates a mechanical fault, and the vehicle should be taken out of service.

[0021] S5: Based on the fault type, reallocate the wheel driving torque and wheel rotation angle of each corner module to obtain the target wheel driving torque and target wheel rotation angle of each corner module.

[0022] Dynamic analysis of each module in the tire coordinate system and the vehicle coordinate system as follows Figure 2 As shown.

[0023] Specifically, in step S1, the method for calculating the estimated wheel angle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a height sensor 2 is installed between the lower crossarm 1 of the corner module and the vehicle frame. The height sensor 2 is used to measure the voltage reflecting the amount of lower crossarm movement. Specifically, the height sensor 2 can convert the height of the lower crossarm movement into an angle through the geometric relationship between its upper and lower arms. During the rotation of the upper arm, the resistance value of the internal resistor changes, thereby changing the output voltage. The voltage increases when the lower crossarm moves upward and decreases when it moves downward. Therefore, by detecting the output voltage of the height sensor, the amount of lower crossarm movement can be calculated, thereby determining the vertical load distribution of the vehicle.

For the driving torque of the wheels, The rolling resistance coefficient of the wheel. For the wheel radius, Let be the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis of rotation. The wheel angular acceleration is calculated by filtering and differentiating the angular position signal of the hub motor rotor.

[0027] Calculate the estimated wheel angle based on the lateral force on the wheel and the longitudinal force on the tire: ; ; ; In the formula, This refers to the longitudinal force of the wheel, that is, the longitudinal force of the wheel in the vehicle's coordinate system.

Figure 4 As shown. Specifically, when the magnet of the absolute magnetic encoder 4 rotates with the motor shaft, the change in magnetic field strength or direction is captured by the sensor array and decoded by the ASIC chip into a unique absolute angle value. , This refers to the reduction ratio of the reducer. The steering angle of the second wheel is the rotation angle at the output end of the reducer. The result was obtained through the rotary transformer 6 installed on the reducer 5, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Specifically, an AC excitation signal is applied to the stator winding of the rotary transformer 6, and the magnetic field induced in the rotor winding changes with the rotation angle, outputting two orthogonal sine and cosine signals. A dedicated decoding chip converts the analog signals into digital angle values. .

[0029] The filtering method for abnormal corner modules is as follows: when a corner module does not meet the requirements... , and If the duration exceeds 5-15 communication cycles, the steering function is abnormal, indicating an abnormal angle module.

[0030] In step S3, the method for confirming the wheel angle measurement value is as follows: when At that time, the absolute magnetic encoder and rotary transformer were functioning normally, but the redundant backup of the wheel angle estimation algorithm failed, so the second wheel steering angle was used as the wheel angle measurement value.

[0031] when , and At that time, the absolute magnetic encoder and the wheel angle estimation algorithm redundancy backup were normal, but the rotary transformer failed, so the first wheel steering angle was used as the wheel angle measurement value.

[0032] when , and At that time, the redundant backup of the rotary transformer and the wheel angle estimation algorithm was normal, but the absolute magnetic encoder malfunctioned, so the second wheel steering angle was used as the wheel angle measurement value.

[0033] when , and When the rotary transformer and absolute magnetic encoder malfunction, the wheel angle estimation value is used as the wheel angle measurement value.

[0034] The screening method for fault angle modules is as follows: when the difference between the wheel angle measurement value and the angle control output value is greater than 1° and the duration exceeds 3 to 8 control cycles, the kingpin steering system is faulty, which is a fault angle module.

[0035] In step S4, the method for determining the fault type is as follows: When the change in wheel angle measurement between two adjacent control cycles is less than 0.5°, the fault type is master pin steering sticking.

[0036] When the bus current of the steering motor is less than 0.5A, the fault type is complete failure of the steering motor.
