Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motor load detection, and in particular to a detection device for a steering wheel wire-controlled motor of an autonomous driving vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of controlling the steering wheel rotation in self-driving cars is mainly based on deep learning, PID control algorithm and wire control system. Self-driving cars use the images captured by the on-board camera and the model trained by deep learning to judge the angle and direction of the steering wheel rotation. This process involves the neural network imitating how humans operate the steering wheel in different driving scenarios to ensure the accuracy and real-time control. Accuracy is crucial for autonomous driving, because any misjudgment or control deviation of the steering wheel may cause harm to pedestrians around. At the same time, since the vehicle may be driving at high speed, the response speed of the algorithm needs to be very fast to ensure real-time. The wire control system (Steer-by-Wire, SbW) is a steering technology commonly used in self-driving cars. In this system, the steering wheel angle and torque sensors convert the measured information into electrical signals and transmit them to the main controller. The main controller will make a comprehensive judgment and issue control instructions based on this information and the sensor data from the wheel motion state, so that the steering motor performs the corresponding action to complete the vehicle's steering. In the production process of the motor, the mechanical properties of the motor need to be tested and evaluated to ensure that the performance of the motor produced meets national standards.

[0003] In Chinese patent application number 202020798823.4, patent name "Motor load detection device", a motor load detection device is disclosed, including a base, a brake, a torque sensor and a support base, the brake and the torque sensor are arranged on the base at intervals, the brake is connected to the torque sensor through a first coupling, the torque sensor is connected to the output shaft of the motor to be detected through a second coupling, the support base is used to support the motor to be detected, the support base is movably arranged on the base, the support base is located on the side of the torque sensor away from the brake, and the support base can adjust the position of the motor to be detected along a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other so that the axis of the output shaft of the motor to be detected coincides with the central axis of the torque sensor.

[0004] Although in the above patent, an adjustable position support seat is provided so that the axes of the output shafts of different motors to be tested can coincide with the central axis of the torque sensor, thereby making the entire motor load detection device applicable to motors to be tested of different types and specifications, it is found in actual use that in the above patent, the output shaft of the detection motor and the torque sensor are rigidly connected. Once the support seat becomes loose, the axis of the output shaft of the detection motor and the central axis of the torque sensor will be offset, which greatly increases the difficulty of the detection personnel's work.

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0030] The following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention to be protected, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] This utility model is a detection device for a wire-controlled motor of a steering wheel of an autonomous vehicle. Figure 1-4 , including a mounting frame 1, a detection motor 2 and a coupling 3. The detection motor 2 is arranged on the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is also provided with a mounting position, which is used to install the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested, and when the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested is installed in the mounting position, the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2 is arranged relatively to the rotating shaft of the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested, and the coupling 3 is a universal coupling 3, one end of the coupling is connected to the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2, and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft of the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested on the mounting position. In this embodiment, the universal coupling 3 can make the two axes not on the same axis, and the continuous rotation of the connected two axes can be achieved when there is an axis angle. The rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2 is connected to the rotating shaft of the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested, so that the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2 and the rotating shaft of the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested do not need to be completely aligned, which not only greatly reduces the working difficulty of the detection personnel, but also reduces the risk of damage to the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested during the detection process.

[0032] In this embodiment, the coupling 3 includes a first connecting shaft 31, a second connecting shaft 32, a third connecting shaft 33 and a cross shaft 34, and the first connecting shaft 31 and the third connecting shaft 33 are movably arranged on both sides of the second connecting shaft 32 through the cross shaft 34; wherein, one end of the first connecting shaft 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2, and one end of the third connecting shaft 33 is used to connect the rotating shaft of the wire-controlled motor 4 to be tested, and the other end of the first connecting shaft 31 and the other end of the third connecting shaft 33 are each provided with a first ear piece 35, and both ends of the second connecting shaft 32 are each provided with a second ear piece 36, and the first ear piece 35 and the second ear piece 36 are alternately hingedly arranged on the four bearings of the cross shaft 34 in sequence, and the first connecting shaft 31 and the third connecting shaft 33 are connected to the second connecting shaft 32 through the cross shaft 34, which not only makes the first connecting shaft 31 and the second connecting shaft 32 have a large deviation, but also still reliably transmits motion and torque, and has a compact structure, occupies a small space, and is easy to install and use in a mechanical device.

[0033] In this embodiment, a limit key 21 is provided on the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2, and a slot 23 adapted to the rotating shaft of the detection motor 2 is provided at one end of the first connecting shaft 31 connected to the rotating shaft of the detection motor 2. When the rotating shaft of the detection motor 2 is placed in the slot 23, the limit key 21 is engaged with the first connecting shaft 31, so that relative rotation does not occur when the detection motor 2 drives the first connecting shaft 31 to rotate. Secondly, a threaded hole 24 connected to the slot 23 is provided on the side wall of the first connecting shaft 31, and a first bolt 25 is provided in the threaded hole 24. When the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2 is placed in the slot 23, the first bolt 25 resists the limit key 21, thereby fixing the first connecting shaft 31 on the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, it also includes a connecting disk 5 and a second bolt. The connecting disk 5 is arranged at one end of the third connecting shaft 33 away from the second connecting shaft 32. A plurality of through holes are provided on the connecting disk 5, and the through holes are evenly arranged on the connecting disk 5 along the circumferential direction of the connecting disk 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 1 includes a base 11, a first mounting plate 12, a second mounting plate 13 and a support plate 14. The first mounting plate 12 and the second mounting plate 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 11, and the first mounting plate 12 is arranged parallel to the second mounting plate 13. The detection motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting plate 12, and the rotating shaft 22 of the detection motor 2 passes through the first mounting plate 12 and extends in the direction of the second mounting plate 13. The installation position is located on the side of the second mounting plate 13 facing the first mounting plate 12. During use, since the detection motor 2 is arranged on the side of the first mounting plate 12 away from the second mounting plate 13, the center of gravity of the mounting frame 1 is offset to the outside of the mounting frame 1 at this time. Therefore, the support plate 14 is arranged at the connecting part of the first mounting plate 12 and the base 11, and is located on the same plane as the base 11, so that the mounting frame 1 has an "F" shape structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting frame 1 during operation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 12, the base 11 and the second mounting plate 13 are an integrated structure, a connecting piece 15 is provided at the edge of the support plate 14, the support plate 14 and the connecting piece 15 are also an integrated structure, and the support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 12 by the connecting piece 15. In this embodiment, the mounting frame 1 with an irregular structure is split into two regular structures, and then the two regular structures are spliced, which greatly reduces the production difficulty of the mounting frame 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second mounting plate 13 is further provided with a mounting hole 16 and a third bolt. The third bolt is arranged in the mounting hole 16. The linear motor to be tested is detachably arranged on the second mounting plate 13 by the third bolt, which further reduces the difficulty of installing the linear motor to be tested.

[0038] The above disclosures are only several specific embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
