Technical field
The present invention relates to four In-wheel motor driving electric wheel truck (electric wheel truck) electric boosting steering systems (EPS) with
Field direct yaw moment control (DYC), and in particular to the vehicle equipped with traditional EPS system.
Background technique
In order to solve current energy crisis and serious environmental problem, Electric Motor Wheel vapour has all been invested in the automobile research and development of various countries
Vehicle field, wherein In-wheel motor driving automobile is that hub-type motor is directly installed in automotive wheel to drive running car, for not
Carry out the developing direction of Electric Motor Wheel Automobile drive.Electric wheel truck has the advantage that
1) compared with the electric vehicle of central motor driving, machine driven system is eliminated, transmission efficiency has mentioning for great-leap-forward
Height, controller directly control motor speed and torque, significantly increase to the adaptability of outer work condition, and have almost Perfect
Variable speed performance.
2) from the perspective of arrangement, automobile chassis has obtained greatly simplifying, and can make Automobile Design Shi Gengcong
The design vehicle structure of appearance, keeps automobile general arrangement more reasonable.
3) due to the high efficiency of motor and the low cost of electric power, electric wheel truck also will more be saved than orthodox car
Save the energy.Moreover, the dynamic response of hub motor and tire is almost the same, In-wheel motor driving automobile is made to be easier to realize regeneration
Braking, this reduces energy consumptions.
4) since the torque of each wheel can be with independent control, motor response speed itself is again sufficiently fast, so being applied to
The chassis electrical control technology of orthodox car can be more easily applied on In-wheel motor driving automobile, such as electronic stability control
Technology processed, polling power controlling technology etc..
Automobile steering system is the system that driver is used to control motor racing direction, it is that one substantially and again in automobile
The superiority and inferiority of the system wanted, performance is directly related to the control stability of automobile, for guaranteeing the safety traffic and improvement of automobile
The operating condition of driver plays the role of key.With the continuous development of automobile steering system technology, nowadays steering system
It is divided into: mechanically aided steering, hydraulic power-assist steering system, Electro-Hydraulic Power Steering System, electric boosting steering system
(EPS).Wherein EPS is directly to provide the steering system of power steering using motor, has abandoned hydraulic power-assist steering system
Servomechanism.Compared to conventional hydraulic servo steering system, EPS has the advantages that much to protrude, such as: environmental protection, energy conservation, structure are simple
And automobile is set to have preferably steering behaviour etc., but still remain shortcoming:
One, variable ratio control and active steering intervention be can not achieve to improve the control stability of system;
Two, EPS still can not operation road feel and return performance on the low attachment coefficient road surface of very good solution;
Three, in Vehicular turn, there are destabilization problems, the especially emergencies such as high speed big corner equipped with EPS system for automobile
Under, it needs that stability control is added;
Four, the design philosophy of traditional EPS system does not consider the influence to control stability, and driver is to direction
The operation of disk will have a direct impact on the stability of vehicle driving.
Direct yaw moment (DYC) control is a kind of difference using left and right sides wheel longitudinal force, i.e., to automobile side vehicle
Wheel increases driving or braking moment Δ T, and the other side reduces Δ T, generates yaw moment, improves the method for vehicle handling stability,
With the stability for improving mobility during Vehicular turn and running at high speed, and DYC control has been proved to close to attached
The limit when still have preferable control effect.
The present invention is based on the above analyses, in conjunction with studying now, in order to improve the shortcoming of EPS, with electric wheel truck,
EPS and DYC control system are research object, shared, three single system function optimization, subsystem coordinated control layers from information fusion
Face proposes the control method for coordinating of the two, mainly for two levels of single system function optimization and subsystem coordinated control to the two
Chassis integration coordinated control studied.
