Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling an actuating element, in particular of a motor vehicle.
- the invention further relates to an adjustment system for controlling an actuating element.
- an adjustment system for an actuating element of a motor vehicle for example in a window lifting system
- This can be, for example, a closed position or end position of the actuating element.
- the window pane of a vehicle door in the closed state must be moved to an end position, wherein the holding force of the window pane relative to the adjacent seal must be large enough to balance the weight of the window pane and the associated supporting parts and keep the window stable and tightly closed ,
- wind noise during driving should be avoided.
- Even with a sunroof, stability and tightness are crucial criteria that determine the necessary holding power.
- the adjustment element designed for adjusting is usually moved with a maximum torque of the associated drive in the mechanical end position.
- the maximum torque of the drive must be sufficiently large so that the actuator during the movement of opposing forces, for example, by rubber seals exerted resistors on a window pane against the adjustment overcome.
- a drive parameter in particular a torque is detected in dependence on the position of the actuating element, and is closed at an irregular deviation from the normal behavior to a pinching.
- an association between the size of the drive parameter and the position of the control element must be specified, as due to mechanical inadequacies along the displacement variations of the drive parameter can be expected during normal operation.
- the resistances exerted by the mechanism can be different depending on the position, depending on the position.
- it is important for the functionality of the anti-trap protection that the real position of the control element is known. This is usually from the revolutions of the drive closed to the real position, which requires a calibration over a reference position.
- the drive is switched off after reaching, for example, the end position after a predetermined period of time and assigned the end position as the reference position of the adjustment.
- the control element is usually moved to the end position with the maximum torque of the drive and the drive is switched off.
- the actuator remains up to an independent, partial relaxation of the system, for example by restoring forces during shutdown or by a derivation of surges by the system components or their absorption within the System tolerances, stand substantially with the last applied torque of the drive as a holding torque in the final position.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for driving a control element, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a second object of the invention is to provide an adjustment system for an actuator, in particular a vehicle, which is durable and which works precisely.
- the first object is achieved by providing a method for controlling an actuating element is specified, in which the actuating element is moved by means of a drive in a defined position, in this position, a force acting on the actuator force is determined is compared with a target value, and is driven at a crossing of the setpoint by the determined force size of the drive to the system voltage.
- a force variable is to be interpreted as a physical variable which underlies a force as a variable, in particular a force or force component itself or a variable composed of a force and another variable, for example a torque or a pressure.
- the invention is based on the consideration that the holding torque of the end position in a control of the conventional type is usually greater than the holding torque required for the optimal situation-dependent holding function. In this respect, the holding torque can be reduced by a controlled relaxation of the system components in the end position, without the predetermined for the given position system properties, such as tightness or holding force are affected.
- a presetting and / or limiting the drive torque to the target value of the holding torque for the steady state of the control element in the end position usually no solution, since in the region of the end position before reaching this high torque of the Drive may be required, for example, to overcome there local counter forces. Thus, the end position would not be reached in the regular case.
- the central advantage of the invention is that for an actuating element, which is movable in a defined position, in particular in an end position, the holding forces determining variables at a predetermined time to a variable setpoint are adaptable, so that a relaxation of the system under Maintaining the holding function of the actuating element is achieved at any time.
- the setpoint can be specified for a defined position, in particular for an end position, by a function of external state variables.
- the set of these external state variables may include, for example, characteristics of the materials of the system components and their thermal reaction behavior. For example, thermoplastic materials are less resilient at higher temperatures than at low temperatures.
- the set of external state variables may include mechanical coupling constants of the system components describing how an external mechanical disturbance propagates between the system components and how the system as a whole reacts to such when, for example, the system is subjected to vibratory forces. These and other influences can be decisive for the desired value.
- the relevant force variable in adaptation to the setpoint is targeted.
- adjustable A fixed pre-adjustment of this size, for example, the torque as a holding torque, is eliminated.
- a force acting on the actuator force magnitude for example, a resistance force is equal in magnitude equal to the force exerted by the actuator force that is transmitted from the drive to the actuator. This follows from the third Newton's law and makes it possible to equalize the force acting on the actuator force magnitude of the corresponding force size of the drive. In the following, therefore, an acting on the actuator force magnitude with the corresponding force exerted by the actuator force magnitude are discussed synonymous with each other.
- the drive when the setpoint is exceeded, the drive is driven by the determined force magnitude by a tolerance amount to the system voltage. This makes it possible to take into account mechanical variations of the setting system that are production-related, material-related or installation-related.
- a torque is advantageously determined as a force variable, since the drive of such a drive unit is characterized by a known torque or can be detected in a known manner.
- the torque is derived for this purpose with known motor characteristic and constant drive voltage in particular from the speed. If, however, the adjusting element can be moved, for example, on magnetic rails by a linear motor, it is preferable to consider linear force components as force variables.
- the force variables associated with the actuating element in the defined position can be determined by measuring, for example, with the aid of a number of essentially uniformly distributed sensors. For reasons of cost, however, it is advantageous to determine the force variables from drive parameters. This eliminates the need to capture the force variables by well-positioned measurement arrangements, for example via substantially uniformly distributed sensors arranged. For such an advantageous embodiment thus eliminates the need for additional components, the system and the method is simplified.
- a characteristic of the drive force, in particular the torque, from the rotational speed of the drive can be determined.
- the force magnitude is detected via a characteristic of the drive from the known instantaneous speed. The characteristic in turn depends on further parameters, for example on an applied electrical drive voltage.
- force magnitude and speed are dependent on each other via a power law, in particular they are inversely proportional to each other. In logarithmic representation, this results in a parameter-dependent linear function for the characteristic curve.
- a desired value for the force magnitude in the defined position is predetermined, which depends on the temperature of the environment and the state of motion of the entire system.
- the desired value it is advantageous to reduce the number of all possible determining parameters to such an extent that the ratio of the variation of the nominal value to the variation of one of the remaining parameters is sufficiently large in order to be resolvable as a measured variable with respect to the fluctuations of the system tolerances , All other parameters are negligible in practice.
- a gear made of thermoplastic material which is arranged in the transmission of the drive system, easily deformed at elevated temperature, the target value of the force size, which characterizes the contact between the actuator and the seal in the end position, must be lowered.
- thermal expansion plastics can also offer increased resistance, which may also have to be taken into account.
- the method to take into account a movement quantity of the rest system of the adjustment system relative to the environment as a globally relevant parameter for the desired value.
- the target value for a moving vehicle is adapted to the speed.
- a higher setpoint is required due to the higher back pressure than at low speeds or at standstill to avoid wind noise.
- a dynamic adjustment of the setpoint is possible taking into account the necessary holding forces, resulting in a minimum load on the system components.
- the method is developed such that the force acting on the adjusting element after the adjustment in the defined position force magnitude is determined after a predetermined period of time.
- the corresponding force magnitude can be partially reduced by autonomous relaxation over the system components. This ensures that the corrections to be triggered are at least smaller and at most the same size as without a relaxation time.
- the position of the control element which has been moved to the defined position, be slightly modified.
- Such a change in position may affect a corresponding change in the position of the drive, if this is sufficiently large so as not to be absorbed in the movement tolerances of the system.
- the force acting on the actuator residual force magnitude is determined after a relaxation by such a change in position.
- the position of the actuating element In order to determine the position of the actuating element from drive parameters, it is also necessary to define a reference position to which the drive movement is related.
- the drive revolutions are preferably counted and from this the change in position relative to the reference position is detected.
- the position defined at the outset, in particular the end position of the actuating element is preferably selected.
- the actuating element is moved along a guide means, in particular along a guide rail.
- a guide means in particular along a guide rail.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an adjustment
- Fig. 2 is a window lifting system for a motor vehicle.
- an adjusting system 8 is shown schematically, which comprises an actuating element 1, which along a guide rail 2 along an adjustment direction 3 to a defined end position 4 is movable.
- the actuator 1 is assigned a drive 5, here in the form of an electric motor, which is controlled by a control module 6.
- the drive 5 has a voltage-dependent characteristic which assigns a torque of the drive 5 to a certain speed of the drive 5.
- the control element 1 is moved in the displacement direction 3.
- the resistance to movement is in equilibrium with the driving force of the actuating element 1, so that the drive 5 exerts a defined torque during the process, to which a specific rotational speed of the drive 5 is assigned.
- the position of the control element 1 is detected by the change in position relative to a reference position over the number of drive revolutions.
- the drive 5 comprises components made of a thermoplastic, so that at elevated temperature, the target value for the holding torque must be specified lower to avoid plastic deformation.
- an increased setpoint value is predetermined if the overall system is in motion and therefore due to increased dynamic pressure, a higher tightness of the actuating element 1 relative to a seal has to be achieved. Also, due to increased vibrations than in the state of rest, a higher setpoint must be specified so that the actuator 1 can be kept stable in the final position 4.
- the holding torque corresponding to the drive torque according to the method in the end position is partially reduced by system relaxation. After a relaxation time of predetermined duration, after which the self-relaxation is completed, which is read by means of a slight movement of the control element and / or the drive. Since the restoring forces of the system can be described by spring constants, from the path difference of the control element 1, the decrease in the holding torque can be calculated. For the usual conditions, the relationship between the path difference and the holding torque or the holding force is considered to be substantially linear.
- the proportionality constant is 4ON / mm, for example. It is also possible to determine the characteristic curve between the path difference and the holding force loss experimentally and to specify the control module.
- a window lifting system 9 is shown for a vehicle door, in which along a guide rail 2A as an actuator, a driver 10 is movable, which can move a window 11.
- the drive 5 thereby moves the driver 10 by means of a cable drum 12, along which a cable 13 extends, which is fastened to the driver 10.
- a control module 5 is provided, which drives the drive 5 according to the aforementioned method.
