Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dissolve wrong steering or non-steering caused by misjudgment so as to improve steering reliability by providing a failure diagnostic means for a steering angle sensor, and a driving force limiting means for a steering angle control motor, and limiting the driving force of the steering angle control motor during the failure diagnosis execution of the steering angle sensor. SOLUTION: A control device 10 is provided with a CPU 22, and an FET driving circuit 23 and an FET circuit 24 for controlling a current to a motor 12. Signals from vehicle speed sensors 11, 21, a steering angle sensor 9 of a steering wheel and steering angle sensor 20M are inputted to the CPU 22. The steering angle and steering acceleration of front wheels are detected from the signal of the steering angle sensor 9, and the travel speed of a body is detected by the vehicle speed sensors 11, 21. On the basis of these detection value, the optimum steering angle value of rear wheels is computed. At the same time, the actual steering angle of the rear wheels is detected by the steering angle sensor 20M. The actual steering angle of the rear wheels is compared with the optimum steering angle computed value, and the rotating direction and driving torque of the motor 12 are determined so as to make both compared value coincide with each other.

2. Description of the Related Art Feedback is made to match a target steering angle calculated according to a steering amount of a driver and a motion state amount of a vehicle (vehicle speed, yaw rate, lateral acceleration, etc.) with an actual steering angle detected by an actual steering angle sensor. A four-wheel steering system configured to drive an electric motor under control to control the steering angle of steered wheels is known (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-155350, etc.).

In a vehicle in which a steering angle control is performed by feedback-controlling an electric motor of this type, if the actual steering angle sensor becomes abnormal, normal steering angle control cannot be performed. Therefore, for example, a rotary encoder and a differential transformer. As described above, it is common to use two steering angle sensors of different systems together and compare the outputs of both sensors to perform failure diagnosis of the actual steering angle sensor.

This failure diagnosis system is specifically a sub-transistor consisting of a differential transformer when the amount of change in the count value of the main steering angle sensor consisting of a rotary encoder falls within a range of ± 1 count from the previous value. When the value of the steering angle sensor is used as a reference value and the amount of change in the value of the auxiliary steering angle sensor with respect to this reference value exceeds the specified value for a specified time in this situation, the main steering angle sensor is determined to be defective and The wheel steering angle is neutral.

In the four-wheel steering system described above, when a deviation occurs between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle, the electric motor is driven so that the deviation becomes zero. . Therefore, if the steering angle sensor that detects the actual steering angle is disconnected and the signal no longer follows the steering angle change due to turning, the driving force of the electric motor is not the wrong signal from the steering angle sensor. The deviation from the target steering angle is controlled to be zero. Therefore, according to the above-mentioned conventional failure diagnosis system, if the diagnosis time is lengthened in order to eliminate erroneous judgment, the rear wheels are not steered by the driver's will before the rudder angle sensor is judged to be broken. There was a concern that it would be done. On the other hand, if the diagnosis time is shortened, there is a concern that the rear wheels may not be steered due to an erroneous determination.

When the steering angle sensor 20M for detecting the actual steering angle of the rear wheels 19L and 19R becomes abnormal, normal rear wheel steering angle control cannot be performed. Therefore, in the present invention, the steering angle sensor 20M is used. The failure diagnosis of the steering angle sensor 20M is performed by determining whether or not there is a change in the output. During the failure diagnosis, the electric motor 12 is operated based on the following control flow.

First, it is determined whether the vehicle speed V is a predetermined value Vs or more (step 1).

When the vehicle speed V is equal to or higher than the predetermined value Vs, it is determined whether the current state is the normal mode or the limit mode from the mode determination flag described later (step 2). In the normal mode, the calculated duty ratio Xc% that represents the target driving force and the control duty ratio X% that PWM-controls the electric motor 12 basically match.

If the flag is 0, that is, the normal mode, it is determined whether the change of the signal of the steering angle sensor 20M from the previous value is within ± 1 count (step 3). As a result, when it is determined that the signal of the steering angle sensor 20M has not changed from the previous value, the duration T is determined (step 4), and the flow is repeated from the beginning until the duration T reaches the predetermined time Ts. repeat. If the duration T of the state in which the signal of the steering angle sensor 20M has not changed from the previous value reaches the predetermined time Ts, the failure diagnosis mode is entered (step 5), and the signal of the steering angle sensor 20M is monitored. While continuing for a predetermined time, the calculated duty ratio Xc
It is determined whether or not% exceeds the predetermined value Xs% (step 6). Here, the calculated duty ratio Xc% is the predetermined value Xs.
If it exceeds%, the control duty ratio X% is limited to a predetermined value Xs% or less (step 7), the flag is set to 1 and the limitation mode is set (step 8), and the above flow is repeated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 3 that the signal from the steering angle sensor 20M has a change of ± 1 count or more, the timer for the duration T is reset (step 9) and the flow is repeated from the beginning.

When the limit mode is entered, the flag is set to 1 in the judgment in step 2, so after that, the signal of the steering angle sensor 20M in step 3 and the duration T in step 4 are not monitored and calculation is performed. Duty ratio Xc% is a predetermined value Xs%
The control duty ratio X% is limited until the value falls below the limit, and the driving force of the electric motor 12 is limited (see FIG. 4). When the calculated duty ratio Xc% falls below the predetermined value Xs%, the limit mode is canceled and the normal mode is restored (step 10).

When the failure diagnosis of the steering angle sensor 20M is made based on the comparison with the output of the auxiliary steering angle sensor 20S, in step 3, the steering angle sensor 20M and the auxiliary steering angle sensor 20S are detected.
It is determined whether or not the deviation ΔS between the output values of and exceeds a predetermined reference value Ss. If the deviation ΔS exceeds the reference value Ss, the process proceeds to step 4, and if not, the step 9
Then, the process similar to the above may be performed. This has the advantage that, for example, a failure in which the output of the steering angle sensor 20M becomes unstable can be diagnosed.
