Referring to fig. 2, a first embodiment of the steering assist method of the present invention includes:
step S10, monitoring operation parameters of a steering power assisting system of a vehicle, and judging whether the steering power assisting system fails or not according to the operation parameters;
in this embodiment, the implementation main body of the steering assist method is a controller of a vehicle, or a controller of a steering assist system of the vehicle, and the controller acquires operation parameters related to the steering assist system, determines whether the steering assist system is faulty according to the operation parameters, for example, sets a normal numerical range of each operation parameter, and determines that the steering assist system is faulty when the operation parameters are out of the normal numerical range.
Further, the operation parameters include a current sensor output parameter, a torque sensor output parameter, a motor driving parameter and a motor line parameter, and the step of judging whether the steering assist system fails according to the operation parameters includes: judging whether the output parameters of the current sensor are abnormal, judging whether the output parameters of the torque sensor are abnormal, judging whether the motor driving parameters are abnormal, and judging whether the motor line parameters are abnormal; if any one of the output abnormality of the current sensor, the output parameter abnormality of the torque sensor, the drive parameter abnormality of the motor or the line parameter abnormality of the motor occurs, the power assisted steering system is judged to be faulty, and the fault factor of the power assisted steering system is generated, wherein the fault factor comprises the abnormality of the torque sensor, the abnormality of the current sensor, the abnormality of the drive of the motor and the line abnormality of the motor.
Specifically, the current sensor is used for collecting phase current of the booster motor. The torque sensor is used to collect the torque of a transmission rod connected to a steering wheel of the vehicle, that is, the torque applied to the steering wheel by a driver, and the torque applied by the driver is generally used by an electric power steering system as an important basis for generating a power assisting torque. The motor driving parameter is used for driving the power-assisting motor to output power-assisting torque. The motor line parameters are power supply parameters of the booster motor. The output parameters of the torque sensor can obtain the torque applied by the driver and the angle of the steering wheel rotated by the driver. And comparing the transmission angle actually output by the torque sensor with a preset angle rotation range, and judging that the torque sensor fails if the transmission angle is not in the preset angle rotation range. In practice, abnormal judgment of the output parameters of the current sensor, the output parameters of the torque sensor, the motor driving parameters and the motor line parameters exists in a mature judgment scheme at present, and the description is omitted here. When any of the above-described failures occurs, it is determined that the power steering system has failed. And generating corresponding fault factors of the power steering system according to the abnormal parameters, wherein the fault factors comprise abnormal torque sensor, abnormal current sensor, abnormal motor drive and abnormal motor circuit.
Further, the fault types include a first fault type, a second fault type, and a third fault type, and before the step of changing the operation mode of the steering assist system according to the fault type of the steering assist system, the method includes: if the fault factor is abnormal in the motor line parameter, judging that the fault type comprises the first fault type; if the fault factor is abnormal, judging that the fault type comprises the second fault type; and if the fault factor is abnormal in the motor driving parameter and/or abnormal in the current sensor, judging that the fault type comprises the third fault type.
Specifically, the fault types include a first fault type, a second fault type, and a third fault type. The step of judging the fault type according to the fault factor comprises the following steps:
when the fault factor is abnormal of the torque sensor, the fault type of the steering power assisting system is judged to comprise a first fault type, when the fault factor is abnormal of the torque sensor, the fault type of the steering power assisting system is judged to comprise a second fault type, and when the fault factor is abnormal of the motor driving parameter and/or the current sensor is abnormal, the fault type of the steering power assisting system is judged to comprise a third fault type. Therefore, when it is determined that a failure has occurred, it is determined that at least one of the first failure type, the second failure type, and the third failure type is included in the failure types of the steering assist system.
And step S20, when the steering power assisting system fails, changing the working mode of the steering power assisting system according to the failure type of the steering power assisting system, and carrying out steering power assisting on the vehicle based on the steering power assisting system after changing the working mode.
Specifically, when it is determined that the steering assist system fails, the steering assist system is changed to different working modes according to different failure types of the steering assist system, and the vehicle is assisted based on the steering assist system after the working modes are changed.
Further, the current highest fault type of the power steering system is obtained, wherein the current highest fault type is the fault type with the highest priority in fault types of faults generated by the power steering system, the priority of the third fault type is greater than that of the second fault type, and the priority of the second fault type is greater than that of the third fault type; and changing the working mode of the power steering system into the working mode corresponding to the current highest fault type.
Specifically, the current highest fault type is obtained from the fault types of the steering power-assisted system, and the current highest fault type is the fault type with the highest priority in the fault types. The priorities of the fault types are respectively the first priority (highest), the second priority (next highest), and the first priority (lowest). And changing the working mode of the power steering system into the working mode corresponding to the current highest fault type.
Further, the operation mode includes a disabled mode and a warning mode, and the step of changing the operation mode of the steering assist system to the operation mode corresponding to the current highest fault type includes: when the fault type with the highest priority is the third fault type, cutting off the power supply of the power-assisted steering system, and outputting prompt information that the fault type of the power-assisted steering system is the third fault type so as to change the working mode of the power-assisted steering system into the forbidden mode; and when the fault type with the highest priority is the first fault type, outputting prompt information of the fault type of the power-assisted steering system as the first fault type so as to change the working mode of the power-assisted steering system into the warning mode.
Specifically, the operating modes of the steering assist system include a disabled mode and a warning mode. When the highest priority fault type is the third fault type, for example, the steering assist system fault includes the first fault type and/or the second fault type and the third fault type, then the third fault type is the current highest priority fault type. The operation mode corresponding to the third failure type is a disabled mode. It can be understood that the fault factors corresponding to the third fault type include abnormal current sensor and abnormal motor driving, the current sensor is used for directly feeding back the operation condition of the power-assisted motor, and the motor driving is used for directly controlling the power-assisted motor to operate, so that after the power-assisted system fails after the third fault type, the power-assisted torque output by the power-assisted motor is possibly opposite to the direction of the actually intended rotating steering wheel of the driver, or the output power-assisted torque is overlarge, so that the rotating amplitude of the steering wheel is overlarge, and the safety risk of the vehicle is higher. If the fault occurring in the power steering system only comprises the first fault type, the fault type with the highest priority is the first fault type. It can be understood that the fault factor of the first fault type is abnormal motor circuit, and the motor circuit is used for supplying power to the power-assisted motor, so that when the fault of the first fault type occurs, the power-assisted effect of the power-assisted motor is generally influenced, the safety risk is lower, the working mode of the power-assisted steering system is changed into a disabled mode, and a corresponding prompt for the occurrence of the fault of the first fault type is output to a driver.
Further, the working mode further comprises a half-disabled mode, when the fault type with the highest priority is the second fault type, the current speed of the vehicle is judged, when the current speed is smaller than a preset speed threshold, a preset trigger torque threshold for triggering the power-assisted steering system to assist is increased, and prompt information that the fault type of the power-assisted steering system is the second fault type is output, so that the working mode of the power-assisted steering system is changed into the half-disabled mode.
Specifically, the working mode of the steering power assisting system further comprises a half-disabled mode, and when the fault type with the highest priority is the second fault type, the working mode of the steering power assisting system is changed into the half-disabled mode. In the half-disabled mode, the current speed of the vehicle is firstly obtained, the current speed of the vehicle is compared with a preset speed threshold, and if the current speed is smaller than the speed threshold, a preset trigger torque threshold for triggering the power steering assistance system to assist is increased. The second fault type comprises abnormal torque sensor, the torque applied by the driver collected by the torque sensor is taken as an important basis for generating the power-assisted torque by the steering power-assisted system, for example, the power-assisted torque is increased along with the increase of the applied torque, the power-assisted torque direction is the same as the direction of the applied power-assisted torque, and if the collected torque signal has a problem, the steering power-assisted system can be caused to output incorrect power-assisted torque, so that the steering of the steering wheel by the driver is influenced, and the driving safety is influenced. While the torque sensor anomaly is typically a base point offset, if the torque sensor is normal, and driving does not apply torque to the steering wheel, the torque sensor captures zero torque. But the torque sensor is shifted in base point, the driver can pick up either positive or negative torque (positive and negative being used to indicate the direction of torque, i.e. counterclockwise or clockwise) without applying force. It may be that the driver may feel the force applied in the opposite direction to the steering wheel in the initial stage of turning the steering wheel, for example, the torque sensor may shift forward from the base point, that is, the torque sensor may collect the forward torque when the driver does not apply the force, and the power-assisted torque output by the power-assisted steering system is the forward torque and applied to the steering wheel, and if the driver tries to turn the steering wheel in the negative direction, the turning may be blocked. In this embodiment, the preset trigger torque threshold is a trigger threshold at which the power steering system starts outputting the assist torque, that is, when the torque signal collected by the torque sensor reaches the trigger torque threshold, the power steering system starts outputting the assist torque (while increasing the preset trigger torque threshold actually changes the power steering torque characteristic curve of the power steering system, where the power steering torque characteristic curve is used to represent the relationship between the torque signal collected by the sensor and the power steering torque of the power steering system, and the specific increase of the preset trigger torque threshold can be obtained by testing by those skilled in the art). It will be appreciated that when the preset trigger torque threshold is increased, the steering assist system's output assist torque that prevents the driver from turning the steering wheel without the driver applying assistance due to the torque sensor base point offset is reduced to some extent. Thereby reducing the risk of driving.
It can be appreciated that in this embodiment, the working mode of the steering assist system is changed according to the priority of the fault (or the severity of the fault), that is, the risk degree of the fault is determined, the function of the steering assist system is disabled, semi-disabled or opened according to the risk degree, and under the condition of ensuring driving safety, the steering assist system with the fault is continuously used, so that inconvenience is caused to the user to continue moving or using the vehicle after the fault is avoided.
Further, after the step of determining the current vehicle speed of the vehicle, the method includes: and if the current vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset vehicle speed threshold value, stopping the power-assisted torque output of the power-assisted steering system.
Specifically, if the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset vehicle speed threshold, the power-assisted torque output of the steering power-assisted system is stopped. It will be appreciated that small amounts of steering wheel rotation will cause the vehicle to deviate significantly from the lane when the vehicle speed is high, and that the vehicle will have a lower power assist torque demand, and therefore reduce the need to safely deactivate the steering assist system.
