Definitions
- the present invention relates to SAW sensor calibration methods equipping a vehicle, and in particular sensors integrated in a tire-wheel assembly of motorized two-wheeled vehicles.
- calibration method is meant here the determination of the relationship between (a) the response of a sensor for measuring a physical quantity and (b) the "true” value of that quantity (ie the determination of the "calibration function"), followed by the adjustment of the sensor response, in order to reduce the difference between the sensor response and the "true” value of the physical quantity.
- a Surface Acoustic Wave is an acoustic wave that propagates along the surface of a material having a certain elasticity, with an amplitude that decreases exponentially with the depth of the surface. substrate.
- SAW devices that implement this type of wave are very commonly used as filters, but also find an application as sensors. SAW devices are distinguished by their high sensitivity, low power consumption and the ability to operate in the radio frequency range, which is advantageous for wireless data transmission.
- SAW sensors in tire-wheel elements, as described, for example, in WO 2006/058918 where the measurement of a tire temperature is performed by a sensor of this type. type.
- SAW sensors of the "differential resonator" type which comprise two resonators having different resonance frequencies (f1 and f2) and which are dimensioned such that the difference between the frequencies (f2-f1) ) is a function of the temperature.
- One of the difficulties associated with the use of SAW sensors consists of the low reproducibility between different sensors, which Figure 1 gives the illustration, for sensors type "differential resonator". In this case, the value of the temperature can only be reproduced with an accuracy of about 20 ° C, which is insufficient for most applications, at least in the field of the tire.
- An object of the present invention is to obtain an improvement in the accuracy of the measurements obtained with the SAW sensors "resonator" type currently available, without increasing costs and without weighing down the necessary equipment.
- the inventors have chosen an opposite approach to market trends, trends that go towards the search for an individual calibration of each sensor.
- the invention is based in particular on the observation that, if, in certain applications of SAW sensors, a measurement accuracy of the order of 20 ° C. is insufficient, it is also not necessary to obtain a very precise calibration. precise (of the order of one degree), as it can be obtained by an individual calibration function.
- the objective is achieved by a calibration method for a differential resonator type SAW sensor, incorporated in a set, the sensor having two resonant frequencies (f1, f2) which change differently depending on the value of a physical quantity (G) of the assembly, the method comprising the following steps:
- (D) Determine a corrected value to be returned by the sensor (G corr ), taking into account the offset.
- the sensor (G corr ) for a difference between the two resonance frequencies of the sensor ( ⁇ f Cap ) is determined as follows:
- the average calibration function (F TM oy (G)) can be obtained by means of calibration functions of each of the sensors of said plurality of sensors (F ç ) according to the formula:
- Another way of obtaining a mean calibration function is to adjust a polynomial, for example of order 2, to the set of individual calibration functions, which allows in particular to choose a reduced range of the physical quantity. for which the calibration method is optimized.
- the invention may especially find application in assemblies where the space available for measuring systems is reduced and / or where the cost constraints are important, such as for example the measurement of the temperature of a tire forming part of the invention.
- a tire-wheel assembly of a vehicle including a motorized two-wheeled vehicle (motorcycle).
- the physical quantity (G) is then the difference between the tire temperature and a reference temperature.
- a reference temperature For example, the ambient temperature, the engine oil temperature of the vehicle, or the temperature of the cooling water may in particular serve as a reference temperature.
- step (A) of the method according to the invention (that is to say the establishment of an average calibration function) is executed once and for all, upstream. for example by the sensor manufacturer.
- Steps (B) and (C) are preferably carried out periodically.
- these steps involve measuring the temperature of the tire when it has a temperature known elsewhere.
- the simplest configuration is to use the ambient temperature as the reference temperature and to determine the offset of the sensor when it is certain that the tire is at ambient temperature, ie when the vehicle is at the same time. 'stop.
- step (B) it is proposed to perform step (B) only when the duration stopping exceeds a predetermined limit (for example, one hour).
- the invention could be usefully applied to sensors other than SAW sensors that suffer from poor reproducibility.
- FIG. 1 shows the dispersion of the values obtained with about twenty different SAW sensors
- FIG. 3 represents the temperature difference ⁇ T between the SAW sensors of FIG. 1 and the average calibration function, as a function of the value of ⁇ f, after correction of the offset at a temperature point T.sub.0;
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the application of the method of invention to a vehicle
- Figure 1 shows the dispersion of the values obtained with about twenty SAW sensors of the same type.
- ⁇ f 1 ⁇ F ⁇ (T) the accuracy of the measurement can not be less than approximately 20 ° C., which is insufficient for a certain number of measurements, such as the temperature of a tire.
- the basic idea of the invention is to establish a mean calibration function (F TM oy ( ⁇ )), which corresponds for example to the average of the values obtained for N
- FIG. 2 illustrates these different quantities.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the validity of the approximation mentioned above for the sensors of FIG. 1.
- the approximation according to the invention makes it possible, for all the sensors considered and on most of the range of the temperatures considered, to deviate less than 5 ° C., which is to be compared with the accuracy of the order of 20 ° C mentioned in the description of Figure 1.
- the accuracy is about ⁇ 4 0 C: the accuracy of the measurement is improved by a factor of 3.
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the application of the method of invention to a vehicle, at a time when step (A) of the method according to the invention has already been carried out: it therefore has the F TM oy (G) average calibration function of the sensor model that is used.
- the vehicle is in a certain state, characterized by the magnitudes 10, which may include the position "contact" of the ignition key, the state of the clutch (neutral), odometer mileage, the number of revolutions made by the engine, or one of the parameters provided by an ABS system.
- the first step is to determine whether the vehicle is stationary (and off) or not.
- the system "watches" the moment when the calibration conditions are fulfilled, for example when the vehicle has been stopped for a prescribed time or the engine oil temperature corresponds to the ambient temperature, etc. As long as these conditions are not met, the system continues to monitor temperatures. When the conditions are fulfilled, the moment when the vehicle starts up again is then awaited, then steps (B) and (C) of the method according to the invention are carried out.
- the reference temperature for example, the ambient temperature, the temperature of the engine oil of the vehicle or the coolant, the temperature of the air in the air intake system is determined.
- the temperature of a TPMS system i.e., a tire pressure control system, etc.
- a TPMS system i.e., a tire pressure control system
- the offset between the tire temperature (as obtained by the SAW sensor) and this temperature is determined. The calibration of the sensor will then be as described above, taking into account this offset.
- the system waits for the vehicle to start again before proceeding to the actual calibration.
- This can be useful when measuring the temperature of a motorcycle tire.
- a reliable reading of the response of the sensor is possible only when the vehicle is in motion: it is then certain that the sensor is periodically close to the reader, which is not not necessarily the case when the vehicle is stationary.
- this is not a necessity inherent to the method according to the invention. If we have a system allowing a reading at a greater distance (of the order of one meter in the case of a motorcycle), we can do without the second interrogation loop of the figure ("Vehicle in operate? ”) and proceed immediately to step (C) when the calibration conditions are met.
- T R is a reference temperature (not to be confused with the reference temperature To of the method according to the invention).
- a 0 , A 1 and A 2 are coefficients which can be expressed without difficulty in terms of Co, C 1 , C 2 and T R.
- the correction of the measured values can be performed in several ways, three of which will be described in the following.
- a first path (“logic 2") consists in considering the average sensitivity S of the sensors, ie the average slope of the derivative of the average calibration function in the temperature range considered. We can then apply:
- T offset S. ⁇ Cap ⁇
- Figure 5 illustrates the accuracy of the results obtained for three different correction logics.
- the mean squared error ( ⁇ ) was plotted between the "true” temperature to be measured and the temperature determined by the SAW sensor, as a function of temperature (in 0 C).
- the solid curve corresponds to the results obtained for a sensor chosen at random, without any correction.
- the curve corresponding to "logic 3" has not been reproduced; it is indeed very close to that corresponding to "logic 1".
