Description

  The present invention relates to a rotation speed calculation device for calculating the rotation speed of an automobile engine, transmission, or the like.

  Conventionally, as a method for calculating the rotational speed of an engine or transmission for an automobile, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-203657 (Patent Document 1), the frequency of the arithmetic processing is divided according to the frequency of the input signal. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-329623 (Patent Document 2), there is one that switches the number of pulses to be counted in at least two stages according to the vehicle speed.

  Further, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-236174 (Patent Document 3), in the state where the lockup clutch ON signal is output in the automatic transmission, the transmission from the input rotational speed sensor of the transmission. Some input signals are processed as engine speed.

  Furthermore, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-194840 (Patent Document 4), a period calculation for counting the time when the pulse number of the pulse signal corresponding to the moving speed reaches the reference pulse number, and a reference measurement time Among them, a pulse count calculation for counting the number of pulses of the pulse signal is performed in parallel, and for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-76293 (Patent Document 5), There are those that switch between two timer counters for low speed and high speed depending on the speed.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-203657 (translation column, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-329623 (translation column, FIG. 2) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-236174 (translation column, FIG. 4) JP 2003-194840 A (translation column, FIG. 1) JP 2008-76293 A (translation column, FIG. 1)

  The rotational speed of a gear provided in an automobile engine, transmission, or the like is calculated from the number and period of pulses of an input pulse signal. The number of pulses (for calculating the period) and the input time are processed because the interrupt function of the CPU built in the control computer is used, so that the pulses input per unit time as the rotational speed increases. There is a problem that the number of interrupts increases as the number of signals increases, increasing the load on the CPU.

  In particular, when controlling an engine and a transmission, information on the rotational speed is very important basic information, and therefore, accuracy of the information is always required. For this reason, pulse signal input interrupts have a higher priority than other interrupt processes and tasks, and are normally set to the highest priority, so the interrupt processing load due to the increase in rotation speed is directly linked to the CPU load. To do.

  Thus, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be considered. However, the disclosed technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires a new frequency discriminating circuit, which increases the cost accordingly.

  Although the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 is also conceivable, since the disclosed technique of Patent Document 2 does not limit the number of pulses, the number of pulse input interruptions per unit time does not change, and the rotational speed is the same. There is a problem that the interrupt load increases as the size increases.

  Although the method disclosed in Patent Document 3 can be considered, the disclosed technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 may be a system-related value such as the relationship between the engine rotational speed and the transmission input rotational speed. However, there is a problem that this method cannot be applied to values that are systemically independent.

  Furthermore, although the method disclosed in Patent Document 4 can be considered, since the technique disclosed in Patent Document 4 processes two systems in parallel, there is a problem that the CPU load increases due to interrupt processing and arithmetic processing. is there. In particular, when calculating the rotational speed for automobile control as in the present technical field, usually, a single microcomputer is in charge of various controls, and it is desired to make each calculation process as small as possible. It is necessary to reduce the CPU load as much as possible. For this reason, the method disclosed in Patent Document 4 is not suitable for calculating the rotational speed for automobiles.

  Although the technique disclosed in Patent Document 5 is also conceivable, the disclosed technique of Patent Document 5 does not limit the pulse input interrupt itself only by switching the timer. Therefore, as the rotational speed increases, the CPU There is a problem that the interrupt load increases.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and is capable of reducing the interruption load applied to the CPU at a high rotational speed without incurring a new cost for a rotationally independent rotating shaft. The object is to obtain a speed calculation device.

The rotational speed calculation apparatus according to the present invention is the rotational speed calculation apparatus provided with the rotational speed calculation means for calculating the rotational speed of the gear provided in the engine or the transmission by the pulse input from the rotation sensor. The means includes: an interrupt processing unit for processing the pulse input interrupt; a pulse input interrupt processing enabling / disabling unit for enabling / disabling interrupt processing in the interrupt processing unit; and the pulse input processed by the interrupt processing unit.

In the counted number of pulses, when the rotation shaft of the gear is equal to or greater than a predetermined value which is determined by the number of teeth of possible rotational speed range and the gear in normal use, the interrupt processing by the interrupt processing unit It is forbidden.

According to the rotational speed calculation device of the present invention, even a CPU with low processing capability can provide the same calculation result as a CPU with high processing capability, so that a control computer can be configured with an inexpensive CPU, thereby reducing costs. Can be realized. In addition, the interruption prohibition time can be shortened by the number of teeth and the maximum rotation speed in the range of use, and even if the number of teeth and the maximum rotation speed are large, the interruption processing in one main is restricted and rotation is limited. Speed can be calculated.

  Next, a rotational speed calculation method by the rotational speed calculation device according to Embodiment 1 will be described in comparison with a conventional rotational speed calculation method.

First, a conventional rotational speed calculation method will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 is an interrupt processing time chart, FIG. 5 is a rotational speed calculation flowchart, FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram for explaining the rotational speed calculation method, and FIG. 7 is a RAM value transition diagram.
In the conventional rotational speed calculation method, when the gear 9 provided on the input shaft 6 of the primary pulley 7 in the CVT 2 and the gear 12 provided on the output shaft 11 of the secondary pulley 8 are rotated, the gears 9 and 12 face each other. Thus, a magnetic field is generated in the rotation sensors 10 and 13 provided, and the voltage varies according to the passage of the gears 9 and 12. The TCU 3 converts this voltage fluctuation into a rectangular wave as shown at the top of FIG. 4 and inputs it to the CPU 20. In the CPU 20, for example, a rising edge of the rectangular wave is interrupted as a pulse input, and used for calculation of the rotational speed described below.

  On the other hand, the oscillator 23 continues to output a signal having a predetermined frequency, and the 10 ms timing generation unit 30 generates, for example, a 10 ms signal which is a control reference period (hereinafter referred to as main processing).

  Next, pulse input interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5 and the functional block diagram of FIG. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5A, if there is a pulse input interruption, it is determined whether or not the input is the first pulse input after the main period (step 1a).

  If the input interrupt is the first pulse input in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 2a, the time is measured by the time measurement processing unit 60, and the time is set as Tnew in the first storage unit 61 and Told in the second storage unit 62. Is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 3a, where the initial pulse input flag 64 is turned OFF by the initial pulse input information unit 63 (see point a in FIG. 4), the pulse count is reset to 0 by the pulse count processing unit 65, and the pulse counter 66 is reset to Pcount. Store as.

  Whether or not the pulse input in step 1a is the first pulse input after the main period is determined by the first pulse input information unit 63. The initial pulse input information unit 63 determines whether or not the pulse input is the first time based on the ON / OFF state of the initial pulse input flag 64. That is, when the initial pulse input flag 64 is ON, it is determined as the initial pulse, and when it is OFF, it is determined that it is not the initial pulse. When a pulse is input with the initial pulse input flag 64 being ON at the timing of the main cycle (10 ms) by the 10 ms timing generation means 30, the input is determined to be the initial pulse after the main cycle, and the second After updating Told in the storage unit 62, the initial pulse input flag 64 is turned off. If there is a next pulse input within the main period, the initial pulse input flag 64 is OFF, and the initial pulse input information unit 63 determines that it is not the initial pulse.

  Subsequently, if there is a second pulse input interrupt in the main process, since the initial pulse input flag 64 has already been turned off in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 4a. The Tnew value stored in the storage unit 61 of 1 is overwritten, and then the process proceeds to step 5a, where 1 is added to Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66 by the pulse count processing unit 65, and the number of added pulses Is stored in the pulse counter 66 (see point b in FIG. 4).

  Subsequently, if there is a third pulse input interrupt in the main process, as in the second time, since the initial pulse input flag 64 has already been turned off in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 4a, where the time measurement processing unit 60 The time is measured and overwritten to the value of Tnew stored in the first storage unit 61. Then, the process proceeds to step 5a, and the pulse count processing unit 65 adds 1 to Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66. The number of added pulses is stored in the pulse counter 66 (see point c in FIG. 4).

As described above, for example, when there are eight pulse input interruptions in the main processing, Pcount of the pulse counter 66, Told stored in the second storage unit 62, and stored in the first storage unit 61 are stored. Tnew that is in transition as shown in the table of FIG. That is, at the time when the eighth pulse input interrupt ends, pulse count = 7, first pulse input time = T0,
Latest (8th) pulse input time = T7.

Next, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. At the timing of the main process generated by the 10 ms timing generating means 30, the pulse counter 66 is turned on only once by turning on the rotation speed calculation process permission / prohibition switch 67, which is the rotation speed calculation process permission / prohibition means, in step 1b. The stored Pcount, the Tnew stored in the first storage unit 61, and the value of Told stored in the second storage unit 62 are input to the rotational speed calculation processing unit 68, and rotated according to the following equation 2. Calculate the speed.
Rotational speed (rpm) = (pulse count / number of teeth) / (Tnew-Told) Equation 2

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 2b, where the initial pulse input flag 64 is turned on in the initial pulse input information section 63 (see point A in FIG. 4), and the process proceeds to step 3b, where the pulse count processing section 69 causes the pulse counter 66 to count the pulse. Reset to -1 (see point B in FIG. 4).

  The above is a series of processing of the conventional rotational speed calculation method and the pulse count Pcount, initial pulse input time Told, and latest pulse input time Tnew used for the rotational speed calculation. In FIG. 6, the first storage unit 61, the second storage unit 62, and the initial pulse input flag 64 constitute a time storage processing unit 70, and a time measurement processing unit 60, a pulse count processing unit 65, and a time storage process The interrupt processing unit 71 is configured by the unit 70.

Next, the rotational speed calculation method according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 is an interrupt processing time chart, FIG. 9 is a rotational speed calculation flowchart, FIG. 10 is a functional block diagram for explaining the rotational speed calculation method, and FIG. 11 is a RAM value transition diagram.
In the rotational speed calculation method according to the first embodiment, when the gear 9 provided on the input shaft 6 of the primary pulley 7 in the CVT 2 and the gear 12 provided on the output shaft 11 of the secondary pulley 8 rotate, the gear 9 , 12 generates a magnetic field in the rotation sensors 10, 13 provided opposite to the rotation sensors 10, 12, and the voltage fluctuates according to the passage of the gears 9, 12. The TCU 3 converts this voltage fluctuation into a rectangular wave as shown at the top of FIG. 8 and inputs it to the CPU 20. In the CPU 20, for example, a rising edge of the rectangular wave is interrupted as a pulse input, and used for calculation of the rotational speed described below.

  On the other hand, the oscillator 23 continues to output a signal having a predetermined frequency, and the 10 ms timing generation unit 30 generates a reference period of control, that is, a 10 ms signal that is a main process.

  Next, the pulse input interrupt processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9 and the functional block diagram of FIG. As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, if there is a pulse input interrupt, it is determined whether or not the input is the first pulse input after the main period (step 1a).

  If the input interrupt is the first pulse input in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 2a, the time is measured by the time measurement processing unit 60, and the time is set as Tnew in the first storage unit 61 and Told in the second storage unit 62. Is stored. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 3a, where the initial pulse input flag 64 is turned OFF by the initial pulse input information unit 63 (see point a in FIG. 8), the pulse count is reset to 0 by the pulse count processing unit 65, and the pulse counter 66 is reset to Pcount. Store as. Whether the pulse input is the first pulse input after the main period is determined by the first pulse input information unit 63 as described above.

Subsequently, if there is a second pulse input interrupt in the main process, since the initial pulse input flag 64 has already been turned off in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 4a. The Tnew value stored in the storage unit 61 of 1 is overwritten, and then the process proceeds to step 5a, where 1 is added to Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66 by the pulse count processing unit 65, and the number of added pulses Is stored in the pulse counter 66 (see point b in FIG. 8).

  Subsequently, if there is a third pulse input interrupt in the main process, as in the second time, since the initial pulse input flag 64 has already been turned off in step 1a, the process proceeds to step 4a, where the time measurement processing unit 60 The time is measured and overwritten to the value of Tnew stored in the first storage unit 61. Then, the process proceeds to step 5a, and the pulse count processing unit 65 adds 1 to Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66. The added number of pulses is stored in the pulse counter 66. (See point c in FIG. 8). The steps so far are the same as the conventional calculation method described above.

  Next, the process proceeds to step 6a, where it is determined whether the pulse count Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value. If the pulse count Pcount is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (for example, 5), the process proceeds to step 7a. The pulse input interrupt process permission / prohibition switch 72, which is a prohibition means, is turned OFF (see point C in FIG. 8).

  When the pulse input interrupt processing enable / disable switch 72 disables the pulse input interrupt as described above, the interrupt processing cannot be performed even if a pulse is input thereafter, so the pulse count Pcount, The initial pulse input time Told of the second storage unit 62 and the latest pulse input time Tnew of the first storage unit 61 are as shown by points f to h in FIG. 8, and the values are the values of f to h in FIG. Thus, it is not updated from Pcount = 5, Told = T0, and Tnew = T5.

Next, the main process will be described with reference to FIG. At the timing of the main process generated by the 10 ms timing generating unit 30, the Pcount stored in the pulse counter 66 and the first storage are turned on by turning ON the rotation speed calculation process permission / prohibition switch 67 only once in step 1b. The value of Tnew stored in the unit 61 and the value of Told stored in the second storage unit 62 are input to the rotation speed calculation processing unit 68, and the rotation speed is calculated according to the following equation 3.
Rotation speed [rpm] = (pulse count / number of teeth) / (Tnew-Told) Equation 3

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 2b, where the initial pulse input flag 64 is turned ON in the initial pulse input information unit 63 (see point A in FIG. 8), and the process proceeds to step 3b, where the pulse count processing unit 69 sets the pulse count of the pulse counter 66. Reset to -1 (see point B in FIG. 8). The steps so far are the same as the conventional calculation method described above.

  Next, proceeding to step 4b, the pulse input interrupt processing enable / disable switch 72 is turned ON to prepare for a pulse input interrupt in the next main cycle again.

  That is, when the interrupt limit count is set to 5 as described above, interrupt processing is prohibited after point e in FIG. 8, and therefore interrupt processing is not performed even if there is a pulse input at points f to h in FIG. , The rotation speed is calculated with the pulse count = 5 with respect to the time T0 to T5. In FIG. 10, a time measurement processing unit 60 and a pulse count processing unit 65 constitute an interrupt processing unit 71, and a time storage processing unit is constituted by a first storage unit 61, a second storage unit 62, and an initial pulse input flag 64. 70 is configured.

  As described above, when the rotational speed calculation method by the rotational speed calculation apparatus according to the first embodiment is used, the interrupt input process is not performed more than the preset number of times during one main process, and therefore, a pulse per main process time. The load of interrupt processing due to input is limited. Therefore, the interrupt load of the CPU does not increase, and even a CPU with a low processing capability can provide the same calculation result as a CPU with a high processing capability. Therefore, it becomes possible to configure a control computer with an inexpensive CPU, thereby reducing costs. realizable.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, the rotational speed calculation apparatus according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8, 9, 11, and 12.
The engine, or particularly the CVT, has a plurality of rotating shafts, each of which has a different rotational speed range and number of teeth in normal use. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), when the number of teeth on axis A and axis B is n and 2n, respectively, if the axis A and axis B are set to the same rotational speed, the pulse count input to one main process is Is twice the axis A (2n / n). At this time, if the interrupt limit count of axis A is the same as that of axis B, interrupt processing is prohibited for axis B after pulse count = 5. The calculation accuracy will deteriorate. Therefore, in order to achieve the same calculation accuracy as that of the axis A, the interrupt limit number is set according to the following expression 4.
Interrupt set count = p × m / n × t / s Equation 4
p: Reference limit value for interrupt limit count n: Number of teeth on the reference rotation axis m: Number of teeth on the target rotation axis s: Maximum rotation speed for the reference rotation axis t: Maximum rotation speed for the target rotation axis

  If the pulse count Pcount of the pulse counter 66 is equal to or larger than the interrupt set number obtained by the equation 4, the process proceeds to step 7a in FIG. 9 and the pulse input interrupt process enable / disable switch 72 is turned OFF (see point C in FIG. 8).

  If the pulse input interrupt processing enable / disable switch 72 prohibits pulse input interrupts, interrupt processing cannot be performed even if a pulse is input thereafter, so the pulse count Pcount of the pulse counter 66, the second storage unit The first pulse input time Told stored in 62 and the latest pulse input time Tnew stored in the first storage unit 61 are as shown by points f to h in FIG. 8, and the values are f in FIG. It is not updated from Pcount = 5, Told = T0, and Tnew = T5 as in ~ h.

  Even at the main processing timing, the pulse count processing in the pulse count processing unit 69 in step 3b of FIG. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4b, where the pulse input interrupt processing enable / disable switch 72 is turned ON to prepare for a pulse input interrupt in the next main cycle again.

  In other words, when the interrupt limit count is set to the value obtained by Equation 4 as described above, the interrupt prohibition time is shortened depending on the number of teeth and the maximum use range rotation speed, as shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b). Therefore, even if the number of teeth and the maximum rotation speed are large, the rotation speed is calculated by limiting interruption processing in one main while maintaining a constant calculation accuracy.
