Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive suspension control technology, and in particular to a CDC active suspension control system. Background Technology
[0002] CDC active suspension generally refers to a device that can automatically identify road conditions and continuously adjust and control damping. Traditional passive suspension has fixed stiffness and damping characteristics and cannot be adjusted according to changes in road conditions. Although car owners can make some minor adjustments to the passive suspension at auto repair shops, the adjustment range and effect are limited. Existing CDC active suspension can dynamically and adaptively adjust the stiffness and damping characteristics of the suspension system according to the vehicle's driving conditions (such as the vehicle's motion state and road conditions), so that the suspension system is always in the optimal damping state. This adjustment capability improves the vehicle's ride comfort and handling stability. Traditional CDC active suspension control systems cannot accurately respond to changes in road conditions, the driver cannot get real-time, delicate road feedback, and cannot effectively reduce bumps and vibrations during driving.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Because existing technologies lack the technical ability to accurately track changes in road conditions and provide real-time feedback on road surface details, and effectively reduce bumps and vibrations, this embodiment proposes a CDC active suspension control system. Please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 6This system can respond more accurately to changes in road conditions, providing drivers with more nuanced road feedback and effectively reducing vehicle bumps and vibrations during driving. The system includes: a microprocessor module 1; a sensor module 2 for collecting acceleration data; a constant current damping module 3 for current control and signal processing; and a valve control module 4. The sensor module 2 consists of the following interfaces: FR_WhlSr_IN, FL_WhlSr_IN, PWM / ADI / PSI5+_7_IN, PWM / AD2 / PSI5_7_IN, PWM / AD3 / PSI5+_8_IN, PWM / AD4 / PSI5_8_IN, PWM / ADS / PSI5+_9_IN, PWM / AD6 / PSI5_9_IN, PWM / AD_7_IN, current-limiting resistors R28-R36, FR_AD interface, FL_AD interface, and AD1. The system consists of four interfaces: AD1_OUT, AD2_OUT, AD3_OUT, AD4_OUT, ADS_OUT, AD6_OUT, and AD7_OUT. The FR_WhlSr_IN, FL_WhlSr_IN, PWM / ADI / PSI5+_7_IN, PWM / AD2 / PSI5_7_IN, PWM / AD3 / PSI5+_8_IN, PWM / AD4 / PSI5_8_IN, PWM / ADS / PSI5+_9_IN, PWM / AD6 / PSI5_9_IN, and PWM / AD_7_IN interfaces are connected to the FR_AD interface, FL_AD interface, and AD1_OUT interface respectively via current-limiting resistors R28-R36. The constant current damping module 3 consists of a constant current dedicated driver chip U5, an external power supply, and a current-limiting resistor R74. The external power supply is connected to the BAT interface of the constant current dedicated driver chip U5 through the current-limiting resistor R74. The POS0 and ENG0 interfaces of the constant current dedicated driver chip U5 are connected to the valve control module 4, which consists of solenoid valve interfaces FR+ and FR-, a MOSFET, and a sampling resistor R89. The POS0 and ENG0 interfaces of the constant current dedicated driver chip U5 are connected to both sides of the sampling resistor R89. The solenoid valve interface FR+ is connected to the solenoid valve interface FR- through the MOSFET and resistor R89. The microprocessor module 1 consists of a chip control power supply, power supply current-limiting resistors R75, R80, and R81, and a microprocessor chip.The control power supply is connected to the SYS_BUTTON, SYS_WAKEUP0 / PMU_WAKEUP0 / TM_TAMPER3, and SYS_WAKEUP1 / PMU_WAKEUP0 / TM_TAMPER2 interfaces of the microprocessor chip via current-limiting resistors R81, R80, and R75, respectively. The suspension control system also includes a communication module 5, which consists of communication chips. The constant current dedicated driver chip U5 is model TLE7242, the microprocessor chip is model E3640-AGKAA, and the communication chip is model TLE9278.
[0024] The sensor module 2 of this invention has an output voltage range of 0.5–4.5V and a gravitational acceleration range of -13.3g–13.3g. Since the sampling port of the microprocessor module 1 can only withstand a maximum voltage of 3.3V, a resistor voltage divider method is used to reduce the voltage value of the sensor module 2 input to the microprocessor module 1 by a factor of 2. A TVS diode PESD24VL1BA is used in the circuit to prevent sensor or controller component failure due to lightning strikes and surges. The microprocessor module 1 is a new generation of high-performance microcontroller product designed for automotive safety-related applications. The entire product series integrates ARM Cortex R5 and ARM Cortex R52+ CPUs with up to 4 pairs of lockstep master cores. The highest-spec product features nearly 5MB of on-chip SRAM and up to 16MB of high-performance embedded memory, meeting the growing demands of automotive applications for computing power and memory.
[0025] The E3640-MCU in microprocessor module 1 integrates a rich set of communication peripherals, such as CAN-FD, LIN, FlexRay, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet TSN, enabling seamless system integration into automotive systems at a cost-effective system BOM. The built-in information security module integrates a true random number generator, AES, RSA, ECC, SHA, and hardware accelerators compliant with national and commercial cryptographic standards 2 / 3 / 4 / 9. This integration of information security functions meets the needs of applications such as secure boot, secure communication, and secure firmware updates. The product can meet information security requirements exceeding Full-EVITA level. The MCU collects wheel acceleration information, vehicle body acceleration information, and vehicle CAN message information. It processes the received data using algorithms to control the current of the shock absorber solenoid valve in real time, adjusting the shock absorber damping. The constant current damping module 3 and valve control module 4 mainly use the TLE7242 constant current dedicated driver chip, IPC100N04S5-1R7 MOSFET, and sampling resistors to form a constant current circuit. The MCU communicates with the vibration damper solenoid valve through the SPI interface. The MCU sends constant current commands through the SPI interface to control the constant current. The current information and fault diagnosis information (open circuit, short circuit) are read in real time through the SPI interface. The communication module 5 interface uses the Infineon TLE9278 chip, which has 4 channels of CAN / CANFD communication, but 2 channels of CAN / CANFD are actually used. The vehicle CAN module primarily enables communication with the vehicle's CAN bus, receiving CAN message information and HMI command information. It also sends controller status information via CAN. The CAN calibration module is used for real-time online modification of calibration parameters during the development phase, improving calibration development efficiency. Through the collaborative efforts of the microprocessor module, sensor module, constant current damping module, and valve control module, combined with a simple chassis structure, it performs the functions of traditional suspension control. While simplifying the structure and sensors and retaining the same functions, it also reduces the manufacturing complexity of the vehicle, reduces the number of sensors installed, and saves some manufacturing costs. Data from the vehicle acceleration sensor is processed by the algorithm in the microprocessor module, and various suspension mode commands are sent through the communication module via the human-machine interface. This causes the controller in the microprocessor module to output the control current of the shock absorber solenoid valve in real time, adjusting the shock absorber damping. This not only improves the comfort and handling stability of the vehicle but also simplifies the operation process, enhances the vehicle's adaptability to various road conditions, and significantly improves the driving experience for passengers.
