Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle steering technology, and more specifically to a method and system for driving a vehicle to steer with a small radius. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, urban travel scenarios are becoming increasingly complex, and there is an urgent need for vehicles to have greater maneuverability in narrow spaces (such as U-turns on narrow roads and parking in mechanical parking spaces). This places extremely high demands on their steering capabilities. Small-radius steering technology aims to significantly reduce the minimum turning radius of vehicles, thus becoming a key to improving vehicle maneuverability. As a key indicator for measuring vehicle maneuverability, small-radius steering capability has become one of the research focuses in the field of new energy vehicles.
[0003] In traditional centralized drive vehicles, small-radius steering is mainly achieved through the cooperation of the mechanical steering system and the differential. This method is limited by the steering angle limit of the mechanical structure and the lag of the differential response, so the steering radius of such vehicles is difficult to further reduce. In extremely narrow scenarios, multiple forward and backward adjustments are often required to complete the steering, resulting in low traffic efficiency. Some technologies adopt a stationary steering scheme, which controls the wheels on both sides to rotate in opposite directions, so that the vehicle rotates around its own center, thereby achieving theoretical zero-radius steering. However, this scheme consumes a lot of energy, puts a heavy burden on the motor and battery system, and the sliding friction between the tires and the ground will seriously wear down the tires and damage the ground. Summary of the Invention

The side slip angle of the right front wheel; Because step ③ of step S2 above divides the total yaw torque data into first yaw torque data, second yaw torque data, and third yaw torque data (F) according to a preset ratio, and distributes them to the other three wheels besides the steering center wheel, the slip ratios of the left front wheel, right front wheel, and right rear wheel can be solved using the composite brush tire model. , and .
[0031] In addition, the parameters in the composite brush tire model include the tire's lateral stiffness. and composite slip threshold These are all inherent characteristic parameters of the tire. These parameters can be determined in advance through standard tire mechanical tests (such as bench tests), or by the tire supplier providing a data mapping table for different vertical loads for the model to use.

The remaining three wheels correspond to the rotational speed error. For the target wheel speed data corresponding to the other three wheels, This refers to the actual wheel speed data for the remaining three wheels.
[0036] Based on step ③ of step S2 above, which divides the total yaw torque data into first yaw torque data, second yaw torque data and third yaw torque data according to a preset ratio, and the target wheel speed data obtained in step ③ of step S3, the motor output torque data of the left front wheel, right front wheel and right rear wheel can be obtained by using the above formula.
[0037] In addition, the proportionality coefficient Integral coefficient and differential coefficients These are the proportional, integral, and derivative gains used for closed-loop control of wheel speed. These parameters are determined through engineering calibration based on the motor's moment of inertia, torque response characteristics, and the vehicle's actual dynamic response. The specific calibration process can be carried out on a test bench or in a real vehicle using conventional parameter tuning methods in the field, so that the wheel speed can quickly, smoothly, and accurately track the target speed, and the overshoot is within the allowable range.
[0038] It is important to note that after obtaining the motor output torque data for the three wheels, the following is also included: ② Limiting of motor output torque: To ensure the safety and reliability of the electric drive system, the initially calculated motor output torque needs to be limited to ensure that it does not exceed the physical output capacity of the motor at the current speed.

Maximum permissible torque ; ; Compare the motor output torque data of the left front wheel, right front wheel, and right rear wheel with the corresponding maximum permissible torque. The smaller value is used as the final output torque data.
[0039] ③ Calculate the braking torque of the steering center wheel; In this embodiment, the braking torque of the left rear wheel is calculated using the following formula: ; in, is the proportionality constant, m is the vehicle mass, and g is the gravitational acceleration.
[0040] In addition, the proportionality coefficient The safety factor is greater than 1, and its specific value is determined through engineering calibration. It is necessary to ensure that the generated braking torque is sufficient to overcome the maximum static friction torque that the ground may exert on the wheel, so as to reliably lock it as the steering center. In the calibration, the working conditions of different road surface adhesion coefficients need to be comprehensively considered to ensure that the wheel can be effectively locked on both high and low adhesion road surfaces.

The processing module, connected to the control module and the data acquisition module, is configured to acquire front wheel steering angle data based on the transmission ratio and maximum steering angle; calculate the vehicle's desired yaw rate data based on the accelerator pedal opening; calculate yaw acceleration data based on the vehicle's current yaw rate and desired yaw rate data; calculate the total yaw torque data based on the yaw acceleration data and moment of inertia data; divide the total yaw torque data into first yaw torque data, second yaw torque data, and third yaw torque data according to a preset ratio, and distribute them to the three wheels other than the steering center wheel; and based on the acquired data... The first, second, and third yaw torque data are used to calculate the target slip ratio of the corresponding wheels using the tire model. Based on the vehicle's current yaw rate and vehicle geometry, the longitudinal velocity data of the other three wheels are calculated. Based on the acquired target slip ratio and longitudinal velocity data, the target wheel speed data of the other three wheels is calculated. The actual wheel speed data of the other three wheels (excluding the steering wheel) is obtained. Based on the acquired target wheel speed data and actual wheel speed data, the motor output torque data of the other three wheels (excluding the steering wheel) is obtained, and the braking torque of the steering wheel is calculated. The execution module, which is connected to the processing module, is configured to control the corresponding wheels to achieve steering based on the acquired motor output torque data and braking torque.
