Fig. 3 shows one embodiment block diagram of 305 concrete structure of the first processing unit.As shown in figure 3, the first processing dress It includes comparator 387, modulus (A/D) conversion circuit 362, processor 364 and V/P conversions (i.e. voltage/PMW conversions) electricity to set 305 Road 366.The circuit structure of Fig. 3 indicates that the first processing unit 305 carries out signal the process of self-test.For example, the one of the present invention In preferred embodiment, the first 2D hall sensings unit 301 and the identical two-dimensional directional of each leisure of the 2nd 2D hall sensings unit 302 Upper (such as Bx with By dimensions) synchronous (or simultaneously) senses change in magnetic flux density and/or changes of magnetic field and generate meet two letters Analog voltage signal (motor message EPB) output of number line is (for example, a curve of output is that cosine-shaped analog voltage signal is defeated Go out, another curve of output exports for sinusoidal analog voltage signal).First 2D hall sensings unit 301 and the 2nd 2D Halls The output of its cosine-shaped analog voltage signal and the output of sinusoidal analog voltage signal are respectively transmitted at first by sensing unit 302 Manage device 305.
Comparator 388 and modulus (A/D) conversion circuit 362 in first processing unit 305 are simultaneously from the first 2D Hall senses Answer reception respectively generates at unit 301 and the 2nd 2D hall sensings unit 302 two cosine-shaped analog voltage signals export (or Two sinusoidal analog voltage signal outputs);Comparator 388 exports two cosine-shaped analog voltage signals (or sinusoidal mould Quasi- voltage signal output) periodically (for example, using 0.8ms as interval) sampling is carried out, then two sampled values are compared.
If two voltage values sampled are equal or difference is in permissible value, (for example the difference of two signal peaks is super It crosses 5%), indicates that sensing signal self-test is normal.When self-detection result shows normal, self-detection result is sent to by comparator 388.Place Reason device 364 sends out order in the first 2D hall sensings unit 301 and the 2nd 2D hall sensings to modulus (A/D) conversion circuit 362 Choose one group in two groups of outputs of unit 302, by connection 370 and 371, by the cosine-shaped digital voltage signal chosen output and Sinusoidal analog voltage signal is transported to processor 364.By connection 367 and 368, processor 364 respectively believes control Number and Linear voltage output be transported to V/P conversion circuits 366.Under the control of processor 364, V/P conversion circuits 366 will be handled The Linear voltage output that the conveying of device 364 comes changes into pulse width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation or PMW) signal.Tool Body:The cosine digital voltage signal and sinusoidal number electricity that the processing of processor 364 comes from the conveying of modulus (A/D) conversion circuit 362 Signal is pressed, to output one linear voltage output (i.e. motor message EPB).By line 368, processor 364 will be linear Voltage output is transmitted to V/P conversion circuits 366;By line 367, processor 364 controls V/P conversion circuits 366 will linear electricity It is 10%~90%PWM signals that pressure output, which is converted to change in duty cycle range,;Then, it is exported by output end 345, is exported simultaneously Clutch bottom portion position signal CBS, the clutch top position signal CTS of switching signal form.V/P conversion circuits 366 will account for Sky is that 10%~90%PWM signals (motor message EPB) are respectively transmitted to ECU than variation range.Work as duty ratio when ECU is received Variation range be 10%~90%PWM output signal when and switching signal form clutch bottom portion position signal CBS, from Clutch top position signal CTS, learns that self-test state is normal.
If two voltage values (including clutch bottom portion position signal CBS, the clutch top position signal that sample CTS and motor message EPB) not etc. and person's difference is more than permissible value (for example the difference of two signal peaks is more than 5%), table Show that sensing signal self-test is abnormal, by line 367, control voltage/PMW (V/P) conversion circuit of processor 364 generates constant The pwm signal of 5% duty ratio;Then, constant 5% is accounted for by three output ends 353,354,355, V/P conversion circuits 366 The pwm signal of empty ratio sends ECU to.When ECU is received when the output signal for the PWM that duty ratio is constant 5% duty ratio, obtain Know self-test abnormal state;If it is desired, ECU (or processor 364) to intermittent abnormality send out word report information or Audible alert signal.
It should be noted that when V/P conversion circuits 366 export the pwm signal of 5% constant duty ratio, first is represented The working condition of 2D hall sensings unit 301 and/or the 2nd 2D hall sensings unit 302 is in intermittent abnormality, and It is not representing the first 2D hall sensings unit 301 and the 2nd 2D hall sensings unit 302 is in permanent fault.This intermittence Abnormality may be interim or instantaneous due to certain operating condition caused by (such as vehicle under steam suddenly jolt, Vibrations cause sensing element or magnet original paper position transient change or vehicle temporary improper of internal temperature carries under steam It is high).That is, although the cylinder top position signal (CTS) currently measured, movement position signal (EPB) and cylinder bottom position signal (CBS) it is unsuitable for using;Once operating condition restores normal, cylinder top position signal (CTS), the movement position signal measured later (EPB) and cylinder bottom position signal (CBS) or can normal use.It is this report an error mode the advantages of one of be omitted individually Error signal channel, for exporting error signal, and the mode that reports an error is compatible with existing ECU performances.Moreover, to the first 2D Halls At sensing unit 301 and the 2nd 2D hall sensings unit 302 generate two cosine-shaped analog voltage signals output (or two just String shape analog voltage signal exports) it is compared, precision is high, circuit is relatively easy.

(1) function of output voltage (V)=angle=m x (angle)+b=m x θ+b
(2) function of output voltage (V)=stroke=m x (stroke)+b=m x S+b
(3) tan (θ)=sin (θ)/cos (θ)=Bx/By
(4) θ=arctan (θ)=arc (sin (θ)/cos (θ))=arc (Bx/By)
(5) output voltage (V)=m x arc ((sin (θ)/cos (θ))+b=m x arc (Bx/By)+b
(6) conversion of per stroke and angle=(L x 2)/360 °.
In above-mentioned 6 calculation formula, magnet arrangement 166 effective travel Lx2, (i.e. (S3-S2 in piston cylinder cavity 161 The distance between) x2) correspond to a circumferential periodic;I.e.:It can correspond to the upper half of circumference phase into stroke (from S2 to S3), And exit the lower half that stroke (from S3 to S2) can correspond to the circumference phase.M and b (b can be 0) is two constant parameters, wherein m tables The slope of linear function.Parameter b and m can according to for the first hall sensing unit 301, the second hall sensing unit 302 it is practical The device used is obtained by simulation.θ is that the rectilinear path of magnet arrangement 166 is converted to the rotation angle after circumferential periodic, BxAnd ByMagnetic flux respectively in X reversely and in Y-direction, L are the stroke in piston cylinder cavity 161 of magnet arrangement 166.
