Conventional technology Constant speed running control in which a vehicle speed is controlled by operating a throttle valve via an accelerator link by an actuator operated by negative pressure generated by an engine mounted on a vehicle or negative pressure obtained from a dedicated negative pressure generator In the device, the negative pressure applied to the actuator is adjusted by controlling the valve opening duty of the solenoid valve, and thereby the vehicle speed is controlled. The valve opening duty of the solenoid valve is controlled by the duty of the drive signal applied thereto. In the conventional constant speed traveling control device, this drive signal duty is set to a value uniquely determined according to the target vehicle speed to be controlled, and the drive signal duty is corrected according to the difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed. Was being done. That is, when there is a difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed, the drive signal duty is corrected by a correction amount that is uniquely determined according to the difference (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-39312).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, according to the related art as described above, the target vehicle speed vs. the drive speed is set based on an average characteristic, ignoring actuator characteristics, accelerator link handling system characteristics, and other vehicle characteristics that are different for each vehicle. Since the relationship of the signal duty is set and the relationship of the correction amount with respect to the difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed is similarly set by ignoring the difference in individual vehicle characteristics,
Due to the difference in the characteristics of the actuator, the accelerator link handling system, etc., the throttle valve operating force is different, which appears as the difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed. If this difference is small, it can be compensated by the above-mentioned correction, but if the difference is large, the relationship of the correction amount to the difference is uniquely fixed based on the average vehicle characteristics. There is a fear that the correction amount sufficient to control the speed to the target vehicle speed cannot be obtained, and as a result, the actual vehicle speed and the target vehicle speed are always largely deviated. That is, in the conventional vehicle speed control, the energization duty to the actuator with respect to the target vehicle speed is fixed, and an additional duty according to the difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed is added to the fixed energization duty for control. This additional duty is a fixed value that is uniquely determined by the difference between the target vehicle speed and the actual vehicle speed in any vehicle speed range.
The same value was obtained when the target vehicle speed was 60 km / h and the actual vehicle speed was 52 km / h and the differential vehicle speed was 8 km / h when the actual vehicle speed was 0 km / h and the actual vehicle speed was 92 km / h.

Therefore, depending on the characteristics of the vehicle, even if the target vehicle speed can be properly achieved with the additional duty when the target vehicle speed is 60 km / h and the actual vehicle speed is 52 km / h, the target vehicle speed is 100 km / h and the actual vehicle speed is 92 km / h. With the additional duty at that time, the actual vehicle speed may not reach the target vehicle speed forever.

Increased by a certain value repeating the duty ratio,
Alternatively, it is characterized by including a control output correction means for reducing the control output.

At step 103, the current vehicle speed SPDn is calculated from the vehicle speed signal. In the next step 104, it is determined whether or not the control flag F is F = 1, that is, whether or not constant speed traveling control is being performed. When F = 1, that is, when the control is already in progress, the processing skips steps 105 and 106 and proceeds to step 107. F =

In the next step 107, it is determined whether or not the control prohibition flag FBK is set to "1". This flag FBK is set to "1" when the cancel signal is applied from the cancel signal generating circuit 28, that is, when the brake pedal, the clutch pedal, or the accelerator pedal is depressed.

On the other hand, if FBK = 0 and it is not in the constant speed traveling control prohibition state, the routine proceeds to step 108. In step 108, the difference between the current vehicle speed SPDn and the previous vehicle speed SPDn -1 is a predetermined value.

The control signal for driving the control valve 16 is formed in step 119 in response to the control output SDuty. That is, the control signal is a pulse signal that repeats inversion to high and low levels as shown in the output section of the drive circuit 24b in FIG. 2, and its duty ratio is controlled according to the control output SDuty. As SDuty increases, the proportion of high level increases, so that the opening period of the control valve 16 increases and the throttle valve 12 is controlled in the opening direction, resulting in an increase in vehicle speed. If SDuty becomes smaller, the vehicle speed will decrease due to the opposite.

FIG. 4 illustrates the operation of the above embodiment. As shown in (A) of the same figure, when the state where the fluctuation of the actual vehicle speed is in the range of So continues for TK2 time, the constant speed traveling control is started.
The constant speed traveling control is performed by controlling the negative pressure to the actuator 18 by closing the relief valve 20 and continuously controlling the control valve 16 to be turned on and off according to the control output SDuty. In this case, if the difference between the target speed SSPD and the actual vehicle speed SPDn is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (SSPD-SPDn ≧ SA in the case of FIG. 4), the control output SDuty increases by Do every time the processing routine is executed once. (See Fig. 4 (B)). This correction of SDuty is the target speed
It is performed until the difference between SSPD and actual vehicle speed SPDn becomes less than S A or S B. Therefore, the actual vehicle speed is always controlled within a certain range before and after the target vehicle speed regardless of the difference in vehicle characteristics.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when the difference between the set traveling speed and the detected traveling speed is equal to or more than a predetermined value, the control output is repeatedly increased by a constant value in the direction of decreasing the difference or Since it is reduced, it is possible to suppress the deviation between the target traveling speed and the actual traveling speed due to the difference in the characteristics of the handling system of the actuator and the accelerator link to a range close to zero. Further, since it is not necessary to set the function of the control output with respect to the target traveling speed, which has been conventionally performed for each vehicle type, the degree of freedom in design is correspondingly high and the man-hours can be significantly reduced. For this reason, the control circuit unit, which is the center of the constant speed traveling control device, can be used in common for all vehicle types, and a significant cost reduction can be achieved.
