Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a vehicle state detection apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the following description of the first embodiment, detection of understeer as an unstable state of the vehicle will be described. In FIG. 1, a road surface reaction force torque detecting means 101 detects an actual road surface reaction force torque that a vehicle tire receives from a road surface.

The steering state determination unit 103 determines the steering state of the driver. The vehicle behavior state detection unit 104 receives signals from the road surface reaction force torque detection unit 101, the standard road surface reaction torque calculation unit 102, and the steering state determination unit 103, and detects the vehicle behavior state.

For example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-324737, from the steering torque of the driver and the assist torque of the electric power steering, The actual road surface reaction torque may be estimated, or the actual road surface reaction torque may be directly measured using a load cell or the like.

又、規範路面反力トルク演算手段102は、周知の技術を用いて構成すればよく、例えば特開2005−324737号公報に示されているように、ハンドル角及び車両の走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとの関係が記されたハンドル角・走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとのマップから、規範路面反力トルクを演算するよう構成しても良い。   The standard road surface reaction torque calculation means 102 may be configured by using a well-known technique. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-324737, the steering wheel angle, the traveling speed of the vehicle, and the standard road surface reaction. You may comprise so that a reference | standard road surface reaction force torque may be calculated from the map of the handle | steering-wheel angle / travel speed and reference | standard road surface reaction force torque in which the relationship with force torque was described.

次に、実施の形態1に係る車両状態検出装置の動作を、図2に示すフローチャートに基づいて説明する。プログラムがスタートすると、先ず、ステップS101に於いて、操舵状態検出手段103により操舵角を検出し、その検出結果をメモリに記憶する。次に、ステップS102に進み、同じく操舵状態検出手段103により操舵トルクを検出し、その検出結果をメモリに記憶する。   Next, the operation of the vehicle state detection apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. When the program starts, first, in step S101, the steering angle is detected by the steering state detection means 103, and the detection result is stored in the memory. Next, proceeding to step S102, the steering torque is similarly detected by the steering state detection means 103, and the detection result is stored in the memory.

次に、ステップS103に進み、路面反力トルク検出手段101により実路面反力トルクを検出しその検出結果をメモリに記憶する。更に、ステップS104に進み、規範路面反力トルク検出手段102により規範路面反力トルクを演算し、その検出結果をメモリに記憶する。   Next, proceeding to step S103, the road surface reaction torque detection means 101 detects the actual road surface reaction torque, and the detection result is stored in the memory. In step S104, the reference road surface reaction torque is calculated by the reference road surface reaction torque detection means 102, and the detection result is stored in the memory.

次に、ステップS105に進み、メモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクと規範路面反力トルクとの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値を演算し、その演算結果をメモリに記憶する。次に、ステップS106に於いて、ステップS105にて演算した路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きいか否かを判定し、路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合(Yes)はステップS107に進み、閾値より小さい場合(No)はスタートに戻る。   Next, proceeding to step S105, the absolute value of the road surface reaction force torque deviation, which is the deviation between the actual road surface reaction force torque stored in the memory and the reference road surface reaction force torque, is calculated, and the calculation result is stored in the memory. Next, in step S106, it is determined whether or not the absolute value of the road surface reaction force torque deviation calculated in step S105 is larger than a threshold value. If the absolute value of the road surface reaction force torque deviation is larger than the threshold value (Yes). Advances to step S107, and if smaller than the threshold (No), returns to the start.

ステップS107に於いて、メモリに記憶した操舵角と操舵トルクにより運転者の操作が切り戻し状態か否かを判定し、運転者がハンドルを切り戻しをしていることを検出した場合(Yes)はスタートに戻り、運転者の操作が切り戻しをしていない状態である(No)と判定した場合は、ステップS108に進む。ステップS108では、アンダーステア検出フラグを出力し、プログラムの動作を終了する。   If it is determined in step S107 whether or not the driver's operation is in the switchback state based on the steering angle and the steering torque stored in the memory, and it is detected that the driver switches back the steering wheel (Yes) Returns to the start, and if it is determined that the driver's operation is not switched back (No), the process proceeds to step S108. In step S108, an understeer detection flag is output and the program operation is terminated.

ステップS107に於ける判定は、運転者が操舵するハンドル角と操舵トルクを検出し、操舵角と操舵トルクの符号の積から判定しても良いし、操舵角と操舵角速度等、周知の技術を用いて操舵状態である切り増し、保舵、切り戻しを判定するようにしても良い。   The determination in step S107 may be performed by detecting the steering wheel angle and the steering torque that the driver steers and by determining the product of the sign of the steering angle and the steering torque, or by using known techniques such as the steering angle and the steering angular velocity. It may be used to determine whether the steering state is increased, maintained, or switched back.

以上述べた実施の形態1による車両状態検出装置によれば、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクとの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合に、運転者の操舵状態が切り戻しであるか否かを判定し、切り戻しであると判定した場合にアンダーステアの検出を禁止することにより、運転者がハンドルを切り戻している状態に於いてアンダーステアを検出するという誤判定が防止され、正確な車両状態の検出をすることが可能となる。   According to the vehicle state detection device according to the first embodiment described above, when the absolute value of the road surface reaction torque deviation, which is the deviation between the standard road surface reaction torque and the actual road surface reaction torque, is larger than the threshold, It is determined whether or not the steering state is reversing, and when it is determined that reversing, understeer detection is prohibited, thereby detecting understeer when the driver is reversing the steering wheel. A misjudgment is prevented, and an accurate vehicle state can be detected.

For example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-324737, from the steering torque of the driver and the assist torque of the electric power steering, The actual road surface torque may be estimated, or the actual road surface torque may be directly measured using a load cell or the like.

又、規範路面反力トルク演算手段202は、周知の技術を用いて構成すればよく、例えば特開2005−324737号公報に示されているように、ハンドル角および車両の走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとの関係が記されたハンドル角・走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとのマップから、規範路面反力トルクを演算するよう構成しても良い。   The standard road surface reaction torque calculation means 202 may be configured using a well-known technique. For example, as disclosed in JP-A-2005-324737, the steering wheel angle, the vehicle traveling speed, and the standard road surface reaction are described. You may comprise so that a reference | standard road surface reaction force torque may be calculated from the map of the handle | steering-wheel angle / travel speed and reference | standard road surface reaction force torque in which the relationship with force torque was described.

次に、実施の形態2に係る車両状態検出装置の動作を、図4に示すフローチャートに基づいて説明する。プログラムがスタートすると、先ず、ステップS201に於いて、路面反力トルク検出手段201により実路面反力トルクを検出し、メモリに記憶する。次に、ステップS202に進み、規範路面反力トルク演算手段202により規範路面反力トルクを演算し、メモリに記憶する。   Next, the operation of the vehicle state detection apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. When the program starts, first, in step S201, the road surface reaction torque detection means 201 detects the actual road surface reaction torque and stores it in the memory. In step S202, the reference road surface reaction torque is calculated by the reference road surface reaction torque calculating means 202 and stored in the memory.

次に、ステップS203に進んで、メモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクと規範路面反力トルクの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値を演算し、メモリに記憶すると共に、その路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きいか否かを判定し、閾値より小さい場合(No)はスタートに戻り、路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合(Yes)はステップS204に進む。   Next, proceeding to step S203, the absolute value of the road surface reaction torque deviation, which is the deviation between the actual road surface reaction torque stored in the memory and the reference road surface reaction torque, is calculated and stored in the memory, and the road surface reaction force is calculated. It is determined whether or not the absolute value of the torque deviation is larger than the threshold value. If the absolute value of the road surface reaction force torque deviation is larger than the threshold value (Yes), the process returns to the start.

ステップS204に於いて、メモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクと規範路面反力トルクの出力の方向が一致しているか否かを路面反力方向判定手段203により判定する。判定の結果、実路面反力トルクと規範路面反力トルクの方向が一致している場合(Yes)は、ステップS205に進んでアンダーステア検出フラグを出力し、出力の方向が一致していない場合(No)は、スタートに戻る。   In step S204, the road surface reaction force direction determination means 203 determines whether or not the actual road surface reaction torque stored in the memory and the output direction of the reference road surface reaction torque coincide with each other. As a result of the determination, when the directions of the actual road surface reaction force torque and the standard road surface reaction force torque match (Yes), the process proceeds to step S205 to output the understeer detection flag, and the output directions do not match ( No) returns to the start.

The road surface reaction force direction determination means 203 multiplies the reference road surface reaction force torque and the actual road surface reaction force torque by the multiplier 301, and compares the multiplied result with “0” by the comparator 302. For example, it is determined that the directions of the standard road surface reaction torque and the actual road surface reaction torque are the same.

図6は、路面反力判定手段203に於ける路面反力方向判定動作のフローチャートであり、図4のステップS206の部分に相当する。図6に於いて、プログラムがスタートすると、先ず、ステップS301にて、メモリに記憶した規範路面反力トルクとメモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクとを乗算器301により乗算して積を演算する。次に、ステップS302に進み、その乗算した積の値が「0」より大きいか否かを比較器302により比較し、その比較結果が「0」より大きいなら、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクの方向が同一であると判定する。   FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the road surface reaction force direction determination operation in the road surface reaction force determination means 203, which corresponds to the step S206 in FIG. In FIG. 6, when the program starts, first, in step S301, the multiplier 301 multiplies the reference road surface reaction torque stored in the memory by the actual road surface reaction torque stored in the memory, and calculates the product. . Next, the process proceeds to step S302, where the comparator 302 compares whether or not the multiplied product value is greater than “0”. If the comparison result is greater than “0”, the reference road surface reaction torque and the actual road surface are compared. It is determined that the direction of the reaction torque is the same.

実施の形態2による車両状態検出装置によれば、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクとの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合に、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクの方向を判定し、これらのトルクが同一方向であるときにのみアンダーステアを検出しているので、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクの方向性が一致しない状態に於いてアンダーステアを検出するという誤判定を無くすることができ、正確な車両状態の検出が可能となる。   According to the vehicle state detection device according to the second embodiment, when the absolute value of the road surface reaction torque deviation, which is the deviation between the standard road surface reaction torque and the actual road surface reaction torque, is larger than the threshold value, Since the direction of the actual road surface reaction torque is determined and understeer is detected only when these torques are in the same direction, the direction of the normal road surface reaction torque and the direction of the actual road surface reaction torque do not match. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the erroneous determination of detecting understeer and to accurately detect the vehicle state.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a vehicle state detection apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the road surface reaction torque detection means 401 detects the actual road surface reaction torque received by the vehicle tire from the road surface. The reference road surface reaction torque calculating means 402 calculates a reference road surface reaction force torque that is an ideal road surface reaction force torque from the running state quantity of the vehicle. The release state determination unit 403 detects a state in which the driver releases his / her hand from the steering wheel. The vehicle behavior state detection unit 404 detects the state of the vehicle behavior based on outputs from the road surface reaction force torque detection unit 401, the standard road surface reaction force torque calculation unit 402, and the release state determination unit 403.

路面反力トルク検出手段401と、規範路面反力トルク演算手段402と、手放し状態判定手段403、及び車両挙動状態検出手段404の、夫々の検出結果及び演算結果は、メモリ(図示せず)に記憶される。   The detection results and calculation results of the road surface reaction torque detection means 401, the standard road surface reaction torque calculation means 402, the hand release state determination means 403, and the vehicle behavior state detection means 404 are stored in a memory (not shown). Remembered.

路面反力トルク検出手段401は、周知の技術を用いて構成すればよく、例えば特開2005−324737号公報に示されているように、運転者の操舵トルクと電動パワーステアリングのアシストトルクから、実路面トルクを推定するように構成してもよいし、ロードセル等を用いて直接実路面トルクを測定するよう構成しても良い。   The road surface reaction force torque detecting means 401 may be configured by using a well-known technique. For example, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-324737, from the steering torque of the driver and the assist torque of the electric power steering, The actual road surface torque may be estimated, or the actual road surface torque may be directly measured using a load cell or the like.

又、規範路面反力トルク演算手段402は、周知の技術を用いて構成すればよく、例えば特開2005−324737号公報に示されているように、ハンドル角および車両の走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとの関係が記されたハンドル角・走行速度と規範路面反力トルクとのマップから、規範路面反力トルクを演算するよう構成しても良い。   Further, the standard road surface reaction torque calculation means 402 may be configured by using a well-known technique. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-324737, the steering wheel angle, the vehicle traveling speed, and the standard road surface reaction. You may comprise so that a reference | standard road surface reaction force torque may be calculated from the map of the handle | steering-wheel angle / travel speed and reference | standard road surface reaction force torque in which the relationship with force torque was described.

次に実施の形態3の動作を、図8のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。プログラムがスタートして、先ず、ステップS401に於いて路面反力トルク検出手段401により実路面反力トルクを検出し、その検出結果をメモリに記憶する。次に、ステップS402にて規範路面反力トルク演算手段402により規範路面反力トルクを演算し、その演算結果をメモリに記憶する。次に、ステップS403に進み、メモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクと規範路面反力トルクの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値を演算し、その演算結果をメモリに記憶すると共に、その路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きいか否かを判定する。   Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. In step S401, the road surface reaction torque detecting means 401 detects the actual road surface reaction force torque, and the detection result is stored in the memory. Next, in step S402, the reference road surface reaction torque calculation means 402 calculates the reference road surface reaction force torque, and the calculation result is stored in the memory. Next, proceeding to step S403, the absolute value of the road surface reaction torque deviation, which is the deviation between the actual road surface reaction torque stored in the memory and the reference road surface reaction torque, is calculated, and the calculation result is stored in the memory. It is determined whether or not the absolute value of the road surface reaction force torque deviation is greater than a threshold value.

ステップS403にて演算した路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が、閾値より大きい場合(Yes)はステップS404に進み、閾値より小さい場合(No)はスタートに戻る。ステップS404では、手放し状態判定手段403により運手者がハンドルから手を放している手放し状態であるか否かを判定し、手放し状態でないと判定した場合(No)は、ステップS405に進み、手放し状態であると判定した場合(Yes)は、スタートに戻る。ステップS405では、アンダーステア検出フラグを出力する。   If the absolute value of the road reaction force torque deviation calculated in step S403 is larger than the threshold (Yes), the process proceeds to step S404, and if smaller than the threshold (No), the process returns to the start. In step S404, it is determined whether or not the hand release state determination means 403 is in the release state where the operator has released the handle. If it is determined that the release state is not the release state (No), the process proceeds to step S405 and the release is performed. When it determines with it being in a state (Yes), it returns to a start. In step S405, an understeer detection flag is output.

図9は、手放し状態判定手段403の構成を示すブロック図である。手放し状態判定手段403では、路面反力トルク検出手段401の検出した実路面反力トルクとステアリング機構の摩擦トルクとを、比較器501により比較し、実路面反力トルクがステアリング機構の摩擦トルク以下であれば、手放し状態であると判定する。   FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the hand release state determination unit 403. In the hand-off state determination unit 403, the actual road surface reaction torque detected by the road surface reaction force torque detection unit 401 and the friction torque of the steering mechanism are compared by a comparator 501, and the actual road surface reaction torque is less than the friction torque of the steering mechanism. If so, it is determined that the hand is released.

図10は、手放し状態判定手段403による手放し状態判定動作のフローチャートであり、図8のステップS404の部分に相当する。プログラムがスタートして、先ず、ステップS501に於いてメモリに記憶した実路面反力トルクを読み込む。次に、ステップS502にて読み込んだ実路面反力トルクとステアリング機構の摩擦トルクとを比較器501により比較し、実路面反力トルクがステアリング機構の摩擦トルクより小さい場合(Yes)は、手放し状態であると判定する。実路面反力トルクがステアリング機構の摩擦トルク以上である場合(No)は、スタートに戻る。   FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the release state determination operation by the release state determination unit 403, which corresponds to the step S404 in FIG. When the program starts, first, the actual road surface reaction force torque stored in the memory is read in step S501. Next, the actual road surface reaction force torque read in step S502 is compared with the friction torque of the steering mechanism by the comparator 501, and when the actual road surface reaction force torque is smaller than the friction torque of the steering mechanism (Yes), it is in the hand-off state. It is determined that If the actual road surface reaction torque is greater than or equal to the friction torque of the steering mechanism (No), the process returns to the start.

実施の形態3によれば、規範路面反力トルクと実路面反力トルクとの偏差である路面反力トルク偏差の絶対値が閾値より大きい場合に、手放し状態判定器にて手放し状態を判定し、運転者が手放し状態でないときにのみアンダーステアを検出するようにしているので、運転者がハンドルから手を手放した状態に於いてアンダーステアを検出するという誤判定を無くすることができ、正確に車両状態を検出することが可能となる。   According to the third embodiment, when the absolute value of the road reaction force torque deviation, which is the deviation between the reference road reaction torque and the actual road reaction torque, is larger than the threshold value, the release state determination unit determines the release state. Because the understeer is detected only when the driver is not in the let-off state, the erroneous determination that the understeer is detected when the driver releases the hand from the steering wheel can be eliminated. The state can be detected.
