Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a vehicle to which a vehicle steering mode switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application is applied, where the vehicle includes a controller, a steering gear assembly, a steering wheel, and a controllable clutch, the controller is electrically connected to the steering gear assembly, the steering wheel, and the controllable clutch is disposed between the steering gear assembly and the steering wheel.
Optionally, the vehicle further comprises a first rotation angle sensor, a first electric machine, a second rotation angle sensor, a first torque sensor, and a second torque sensor. The first rotating angle sensor is connected between the controller and the steering wheel in series, and the first motor is connected between the controller and the steering wheel in series; the second motor is connected in series between the controller and the steering gear assembly, and the second rotation angle sensor is connected in series between the controller and the steering gear assembly. The controller is also respectively connected with a first torque sensor and a second torque sensor, the first torque sensor is connected between the steering wheel and the controllable clutch in series, and the second torque sensor is connected between the steering gear assembly and the controllable clutch in series. Alternatively, the controller may be an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in the vehicle.
The first rotation angle sensor can be used for acquiring the rotation angle of the steering wheel and transmitting the rotation angle of the steering wheel to the controller; the second rotational angle sensor may be configured to acquire a rotational angle of the steering gear assembly and transmit the rotational angle of the steering gear assembly to the controller. The controller can drive the first motor to provide torque feedback for the steering wheel and can also drive the second motor to control the steering gear assembly. The first torque sensor may be used to detect torque of the steering wheel and may also be used to detect torque of the controllable clutch and transmit the detected torque to the controller. The second torque sensor may be used to detect torque of the steering gear assembly and transmit the detected torque to the controller. The controllable clutch can realize the decoupling or coupling of the steering wheel and the steering gear assembly under the control of the controller.
Fig. 2 is a vehicle steering mode switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application, configured to switch a steering mode of a vehicle, where the method may be executed by a controller of the vehicle, and specifically includes the following steps S110 to S140:
step S110, determining that the rotation angle of the steering gear assembly and the rotation angle of the steering wheel satisfy a first preset condition.
Alternatively, the first preset condition may be that the following conditions are determined to be both continuously satisfied for more than the first period of time: the angle difference between the corner of the steering gear assembly and the corner of the steering wheel is within a preset angle difference range; the angle variation of the turning angle of the steering gear assembly is within a first variation; the angle change amount of the turning angle of the steering wheel is within the second change amount.
The preset angle difference range, the first variation and the second variation may be the same or different, for example, the preset angle difference range may be 0.5 degrees, and the first variation and the second variation may also be 0.5 degrees. The first time period may be 0.1 s.
And step S120, starting the engagement process of the controllable clutch, and controlling a first torque sensor connected with the controllable clutch to measure the real-time torque of the controllable clutch.
The engagement process of the controllable clutch is a process that the controllable clutch is gradually changed from being separated from the steering wheel and the steering gear assembly into the process that the controllable clutch engages the steering wheel and the steering gear assembly, and in the process, the first torque sensor connected with the controllable clutch can be used for measuring the real-time torque of the controllable clutch in real time.
And step S130, maintaining the engagement process of the controllable clutch according to the relative relation between the real-time torque and a first preset comparison value.
The first predetermined comparison value may be a fifth-order polynomial rising curve of a maximum transmission torque of the controllable clutch during the engagement process.
Alternatively, step S130 may be: if the real-time torque is larger than or equal to the first preset comparison value, the engaging process of the controllable clutch is suspended, the control voltage of the controllable clutch is reduced, the real-time torque of the controllable clutch is gradually reduced along with the reduction of the control voltage until the real-time torque is smaller than the first preset comparison value, and then the engaging process of the controllable clutch is continued.
And monitoring the magnitude of the real-time torque in real time, comparing the real-time torque with a first preset comparison value, and when the real-time torque is greater than or equal to the first preset comparison value, suspending the engagement process and reducing the control voltage of the controllable clutch until the real-time torque is less than the first preset comparison value. It is further determined that the steering mode can be smoothly performed in the above manner.
Step S140, completing an engagement process of the controllable clutch, gradually stopping any one of the first motor and the second motor, and switching a vehicle steering mode from a steer-by-wire mode to a power steering mode, wherein the first motor controls the steering wheel, and the second motor controls the steering gear assembly.
For example, the first motor may be stopped, and since the steering wheel and the steering assembly are coupled by the controllable clutch, the steering assembly moves under the mechanical transmission of the controllable clutch when the driver turns the steering wheel, and the second motor may be used to provide power assistance for the movement of the steering assembly. For example, if the torque of the first motor is 8Nm and the torque of the second motor is 25Nm after the engagement of the controllable clutch is completed, the torque of the first motor decreases to 0Nm and the torque of the second motor increases to 33Nm in the next 0.5 s.
The switching process of the controllable clutch from off to on takes place in the case of a steering angle of the steering assembly and a steering angle of the steering wheel satisfying a first preset condition, in which process the first preset condition needs to be always satisfied. And when a first preset condition is met, measuring the real-time torque of the controllable clutch, maintaining the advance of the engagement process according to the relative relation between the real-time torque and a first preset comparison value until the engagement process of the controllable clutch is completed, stopping the operation of any one of the first motor and the second motor, and completing the switching of the steering mode. Compared with the prior art, the smooth switching of the steering modes can be realized, and the pause and the frustration caused by instantaneous switching are avoided.
Optionally, before step S110, the method may further include the steps of: determining that the vehicle speed of the vehicle is lower than a preset threshold value or receiving a first control instruction input by a driver.
The switching from the steer-by-wire mode to the power-assisted steering mode can be triggered when the vehicle speed is determined to be lower than a preset threshold or a first control instruction of a driver is received, the driving experience of the power-assisted steering mode under certain road conditions is better than that of the steer-by-wire mode, and the vehicle can be controlled and driven more easily when running in the power-assisted steering mode under certain road conditions, so that the steering mode can be switched when the vehicle speed is detected to be lower than the preset threshold or the driver actively inputs the control instruction representing the switching of the steering mode.
Fig. 3 is a specific implementation of a vehicle steering mode switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application, configured to switch a steering mode of a vehicle, where the method may also be executed by a controller, and specifically includes the following steps S210 to S250:
and step S210, controlling the motor which stops running to restart running.
Continuing with the above example, the controller may control the stopped motors to resume operation, e.g., when the control command is given, the torque of the first motor is 0Nm and the torque of the second motor is 33Nm, and then in the next 0.5s, the torque of the first motor is restored to 8Nm and the torque of the second motor is reduced to 25Nm, thereby resuming operation of the first motor.
And step S220, controlling the input torque of the first motor and the input torque of the second motor to enable the real-time torque of the controllable clutch to be stabilized at a preset stable value.
The controller can control the input torques of the first motor and the second motor respectively, so that the real-time torque of the controllable clutch is stabilized at a preset stable value. The preset stable value is a preset torque value, and when the real-time torque of the controllable clutch is close to the preset torque value, the vehicle can realize the smooth switching of the steering mode on the basis of smooth operation. Alternatively, the preset stable value may be specifically 0.
And step S230, determining that the real-time torque of the controllable clutch meets a second preset condition.
The second preset condition specifically includes determining that the following conditions are all continuously satisfied for more than a second duration: the real-time torque of the controllable clutch is smaller than a preset torque value; the change amplitude of the real-time torque of the controllable clutch is smaller than the preset amplitude.
The value of the preset torque value may be the same as or different from the preset amplitude, for example, both the preset torque value and the preset amplitude may be 0.2 Nm. The specific duration of the second duration may be the same as or different from the first duration. Specifically, the second time period may be 0.1 s.
The controller can obtain the real-time torque of the controllable clutch and the change amplitude of the real-time torque through the first torque sensor. And then, the controller compares the real-time torque of the controllable clutch with a preset torque value, compares the change amplitude of the real-time torque with a preset amplitude, and judges that the real-time torque of the controllable clutch meets a second preset condition under the conditions that the real-time torque is smaller than the preset torque value, the change amplitude of the real-time torque is smaller than the preset amplitude and the real-time torque continuously exceeds a second duration.
Step S240, starting a disconnection process of the controllable clutch, and maintaining a real-time torque of the controllable clutch smaller than a second preset comparison value.
The second predetermined comparison value is a fifth-order polynomial descent curve of the maximum transmission torque of the controllable clutch during the disengagement process.
And step S250, completing the disconnection process of the controllable clutch, respectively releasing the control on the input torque of the first motor and the input torque of the second motor through fuzzy control, and switching the vehicle steering mode from the power-assisted steering mode to the steer-by-wire mode.
And restarting the stopped motor, and controlling the input torque of the first motor and the second motor in real time to stabilize the real-time torque of the controllable clutch at a preset stable value. And under the condition that the real-time torque meets a second preset condition, starting the disconnection of the controllable clutch, and in the disconnection process, maintaining the real-time torque of the controllable clutch to be smaller than a second preset comparison value until the disconnection process of the controllable clutch is completed. After the disconnection process is completed, the control of the input torque of the first motor and the second motor is released through fuzzy control, so that the steering mode is switched from the power-assisted steering mode to the steer-by-wire mode. Compared with the prior art, the smooth switching of the steering modes can be realized, and the pause and the frustration caused by instantaneous switching are avoided.
