Fig. 1 generally illustrates a vibration canceling system 10 according to the principles of the present disclosure. The system 10 may be associated with a seat. The seat and/or system 10 may be disposed within a vehicle such as those described herein. The system 10 may include a seat top panel 12 and a base mounting plate 14. The seat top panel 12 may be configured to engage the bottom or lower portion of the seat. The base mounting plate 14 may be configured to secure the system 10 and seat to a portion of the floor of a vehicle.
The system 10 may include a motor 16 disposed on the base mounting plate 14. It should be appreciated that the motor 16 may be disposed in any suitable location other than the base mounting plate 14. The motor 16 may comprise any suitable motor. For example, the motor 16 may comprise a brushless servo motor or other suitable motor. The system 10 includes a controller 18. The controller 18 may be configured to selectively control the electric motor 16. For example, as will be described, the controller 18 may be configured to determine various torque values. The controller 18 may use the determined torque value to control the motor 16. For example, the controller 18 may instruct the motor 16 to rotate at a speed corresponding to the determined torque value. The motor 16 may move in response to commands from the controller 18.
The motor 16 may be in mechanical communication with the gearbox 20. The gearbox 20 may include any suitable gearbox, such as a worm gear box or other suitable gearbox. When the motor 16 rotates in response to commands from the controller 18, gears within the gearbox 20 actuate. The gearbox 20 may include a plurality of gears having any suitable gear ratios. The gearbox 20 may be configured to reduce the rotational speed and increase the torque provided by the motor 16. When the gears of the gearbox 20 are actuated, the link arm 22 connected to the gearbox 20 via the lever arm 24 moves, which may actuate the lifting mechanism 26.
The lift mechanism 26 may include one or more control arms 26'. In some embodiments, the control arm 26' may be arranged such that the lift mechanism 26 comprises a scissor lift mechanism, however the lift mechanism 26 may comprise any suitable lift mechanism. As the link arm 22 moves, the control arm 26' of the lift mechanism 26 exerts a force on the seat top panel 12. The force exerted on the seat top panel 12 by the control arm 26' of the lift mechanism 26 corresponds to the determined torque applied to the motor 16 by the controller 18.
In some embodiments, the system 10 includes an accelerometer 28 disposed on the seat top panel 12 and an accelerometer 30 disposed on the base mounting plate 14. Although only accelerometers 28 and accelerometers 30 are described, system 10 may include any suitable number of accelerometers, including fewer or more accelerometers or sensors than those described herein. Accelerometer 28 and accelerometer 30 may include any suitable accelerometer. The accelerometer 28 and the accelerometer 30 may be configured to measure acceleration forces acting on the seat top plate 12 and the base mounting plate 14, respectively.
As depicted, the system 10 includes a controller 18. The controller 18 may include any suitable controller or processor, such as those described herein. As generally shown in fig. 2, the controller 18 may be configured to execute instructions stored on a memory, such as memory 32. The memory 32 may comprise a single disk or multiple disks (e.g., hard disk drives) and include a storage management module that manages one or more partitions within the memory 32. In some embodiments, the memory 32 may include flash memory, semiconductor (solid state) memory, or the like. The memory 32 may include Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), or a combination thereof.
The instructions stored on memory 32, when executed by controller 18, cause controller 18 to at least control or eliminate the operator's perception of vibrations acting on the vehicle seat. For example, the controller 18 receives a first accelerometer measurement from the accelerometer 28 and a second accelerometer measurement from the accelerometer 30. The accelerometer measurements are representative of the forces currently acting on the seat top plate 12 and the base mounting plate 14, respectively. The controller 18 may be configured to determine a counter-torque value based on the first accelerometer measurement and the second accelerometer measurement. The reaction torque value corresponds to a torque value that, when the controller 18 uses the reaction torque value to control the motor 16, generates a force that is opposite in direction and of the same or substantially the same magnitude as the vibration acting on the seat top panel 12.
As described above, the controller 18 controls the motor 16 according to the reaction torque value. When the motor 16 rotates according to the reaction torque value, the gears of the gearbox 20 are actuated, moving the link arm 22. The control arm 26 'moves or actuates in response to movement of the link arm 22, which causes the lift mechanism 26 to apply a force that opposes the vibrations acting on the seat top panel 12, which may reduce or eliminate the operator's perception of the vibrations acting on the seat top panel 12.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may determine the reactive torque value according to the following algorithm:
Figure BDA0003429490540000081
where X is an input variable, such as an accelerometer measurement, for each mathematical formula in the algorithm, and K is a unique calibratable tuning constant defined for the mathematical formula in the algorithm. In the above, each variable may be tunable and/or weighted. The controller 18 may determine a counter-torque value based on a sum of the first accelerometer measurement and the second accelerometer measurement.
In some embodiments, controller 18 may be in communication with operator interface 34. Operator interface 34 may include any suitable interface. For example, the operator interface 34 may include a selectable switch (e.g., such as a three-position selector switch or other suitable selectable switch), a digital interface switch (e.g., such as on a display of the vehicle, a mobile device display, or other suitable display), or other suitable operator interface. Controller 18 may be configured to receive operator preferences from operator interface 34. The operator preference may indicate a preferred mode of operation. For example, an operator of the vehicle may use the operator interface 34 to select a preferred or desired mode of operation. The operator mode may include a comfort mode, a general mode, a firm mode, or other suitable modes. Controller 18 may selectively adjust the reactive torque value based on operator preferences. For example, the controller 18 may increase or decrease the reactive torque value based on operator preferences to provide more or less vibration cancellation (e.g., to provide a ride experience with vibration cancellation corresponding to operator preferences.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to selectively adjust the counter-torque value based on the motor position and motor speed of the motor 16 in order to control or eliminate a severe mechanical end stop impact on the seat (e.g., via the seat top panel 12). For example, the controller 18 may determine the motor position of the motor 16. The controller 18 may receive the motor position from a position sensor or other suitable sensor disposed proximate the motor 16 and configured to determine the motor position of the motor 16. The controller 18 may determine the motor speed of the motor 16. For example, the controller 18 may receive the motor speed from a speed sensor or other suitable sensor disposed proximate the motor 16 and configured to determine the motor speed of the motor 16.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 converts the motor position to a normalized seat displacement value corresponding to the displacement of the seat, the normalized seat displacement value ranging from-100% to + 100%. The controller 18 determines the sum of the motor position and the motor speed. The controller 18 determines a torque value and/or selectively adjusts a counter-torque value based on a sum of the motor position and the motor speed. The controller 18 uses the determined torque value or the adjusted counter torque value to control the motor 16 to reduce or eliminate severe mechanical end stop impacts on the seat top panel 12.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 continues to monitor accelerometer measurements, motor position, and/or motor speed in order to continuously reduce or eliminate the operator's perception of vibrations acting on the seat via the seat top panel 12.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to cancel floor vibrations before the vibrations reach the vehicle operator. For example, the controller 18 may receive a plurality of accelerometer measurements from the accelerometer 30 associated with accelerations corresponding to vibrations of at least the base mounting plate 14 and/or any other suitable component of the seat. It should be understood that although an accelerometer 30 is described, controller 18 may receive a plurality of accelerometer measurements from any suitable accelerometer, such as accelerometer 28 or other suitable accelerometer. In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to remove long-term offsets of the components of the vibration or acceleration corresponding to the accelerometer measurements.
The controller 18 may be configured to remove high frequency data and smooth data corresponding to accelerometer measurements. For example, the controller 18 may apply a first filter to the plurality of accelerometer measurements to remove accelerometer measurements of the plurality of accelerometer measurements having frequencies above a first threshold frequency. In some embodiments, the first filter comprises a low pass filter or other suitable filter. The first threshold corresponds to a cut-off frequency of the first filter. The cutoff frequency may correspond to the result of the product of the resonant frequency of vibration of the at least one base mounting plate 14 and a predetermined value. The predetermined value may comprise 3 or other suitable value.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to provide additional removal of high frequency data and further smooth the data corresponding to the accelerometer measurements. For example, the controller 18 may apply a second filter to the output of the first filter to remove accelerometer measurements of the output of the first filter at frequencies above a second threshold frequency. The second filter may comprise a low pass filter or other suitable filter. The second threshold may correspond to a cut-off frequency of the second filter. The cutoff frequency may correspond to the result of the product of at least the resonant frequency of vibration of the base mounting plate 14 and a predetermined value. The predetermined value may comprise 2 or other suitable value. In some embodiments, the first filter and the second filter are configured in a cascade arrangement, which may allow for increased frequency roll-off, thereby providing improved frequency isolation.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to use the output of the second filter to isolate the input of the motor 16 near the resonant frequency of the vibration of the base mounting plate 14. For example, the controller 18 may apply a third filter to the output of the second filter to generate an accelerometer measurement output having a center frequency corresponding to the resonant frequency of vibration of the base mounting plate 14. The third filter may comprise a narrow notch bandpass filter or other suitable filter. The third filter may comprise a filter bandwidth that is less than the product of the resonant frequency of vibration of the base mounting plate 14 and a predetermined value. The predetermined value may comprise 0.1 or other suitable value.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to convert the accelerometer measurement output (which may include a waveform or other suitable output, for example) to an absolute magnitude using an accumulator or other suitable mechanism. For example, the controller 18 may determine the absolute magnitude of the accelerometer measurement output by applying an averaging filter to the accelerometer measurement output.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to perform a gain unit limiting function on the absolute magnitude of the accelerometer measurement output. For example, the controller 18 may determine a scaled value corresponding to the absolute magnitude of the accelerometer measurement output and a predetermined range. For example, the controller 18 may scale and limit the absolute magnitude of the accelerometer measurement data to values within a predetermined range. The predetermined range may include 0.0 to 1.0 or other suitable range.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may be configured to apply the scaling value to the tunable motor speed damping output. For example, the controller 18 may identify a velocity damping value corresponding to the accelerometer measurement output. Controller 18 may identify the velocity damping value by retrieving the velocity damping value from a lookup table, database, or other suitable location or source. The controller 18 may apply the scaling value to the velocity damping value. The controller 18 may selectively control the motor 16 based on the absolute magnitude of the accelerometer measurement output and the velocity damping value.
In some embodiments, the controller 18 may perform the methods described herein. However, the methods described herein as being performed by the controller 18 are not intended to be limiting, and any type of software executing on the controller may perform the methods described herein without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. For example, a controller (such as a processor executing software within a computing device) may perform the methods described herein.
Fig. 3 is a flow chart generally illustrating a vibration cancellation method 300 in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure. At 302, method 300 receives a first accelerometer measurement. For example, controller 18 may receive a first accelerometer measurement from one of accelerometer 28 and accelerometer 30.
At 304, method 300 receives a second accelerometer measurement. For example, controller 18 may receive a second accelerometer measurement from the other of accelerometer 28 and accelerometer 30.
At 306, method 300 determines a reactive torque value. For example, the controller 18 may determine a counter-torque value based on the first accelerometer measurement and the second accelerometer measurement. In some embodiments, the controller 18 determines the reactive torque value based on the motor position and the motor speed of the motor 16. In some embodiments, the controller 18 may determine a counter-torque value based on the first accelerometer measurement and the second accelerometer measurement, and may adjust the counter-torque value based on the motor position and the motor speed. In some embodiments, as described, the controller 18 receives operator preferences. The controller 18 may adjust the reactive torque value or any determined torque value based on operator preferences.
At 308, method 300 controls the motor using the back torque value. For example, the controller 18 uses the reaction torque value to control the motor 16. When the motor 16 rotates in response to the counter-torque value, the gears of the gearbox 20 actuate, which drives the lever arm 24, which moves the link arm 22. The movement of the link arm 22 drives the elevating mechanism 26, which exerts a force corresponding to the reactive torque value on the seat top panel 12. The force exerted on the seat top panel 12 may reduce or eliminate the operator's perception of vibrations acting on the seat.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart generally illustrating an alternative vibration cancellation method 400 in accordance with the principles of the present disclosure. At 402, the method 400 receives a plurality of accelerometer measurements from an accelerometer. For example, controller 18 may receive a plurality of accelerometer measurements from accelerometer 30 or other suitable accelerometers. The plurality of accelerometer measurements may be associated with an acceleration corresponding to the vibration of the base mounting plate 14.
At 404, the method 400 applies a first filter to the plurality of accelerometer measurements.
