이를 위해 종래에는 모터에 의해 액츄에이터를 동작시키고, 증분형 엔코더를 통해 액츄에이터의 위치검출을 수행하고 있으나, 종래 증분형 엔코더의 경우, 시동시 액츄에이터의 절대 위치값을 알 수 없어 액츄에이터의 정확한 동작 제어가 어려운 문제점이 있었다.To this end, conventionally, the actuator is operated by a motor and the position detection of the actuator is performed through an incremental encoder. However, in the case of the conventional incremental encoder, the absolute position value of the actuator cannot be known at start-up, so the precise operation control of the actuator is performed. There was a difficult problem.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 차량의 AGCS 시스템에서 시동시 액츄에이터의 정확한 초기 위치 검출을 통해 운전자의 조작에 대응하는 정확한 액츄에이터 동작 제어가 이루어질 수 있도록 하는 AGCS 시스템에서 액츄에이터 초기 위치 검출 방법을 제공함에 있다.Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an actuator initial position detection method in an AGCS system that enables accurate actuator operation control corresponding to a driver's operation through accurate initial position detection of an actuator at start-up in an AGCS system of a vehicle.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명에 따른 바람직한 실시 예의 동작을 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the operation of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention.
도 1은 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 자동차 AGCS시스템 블록 구성을 도시한 것이다. 이하 상기 도 1을 참조하면, 전자제어장치(Electronic Control Unit: 이하 "ECU"라 칭함)(100)는 차량의 각종 전자장치의 전반적인 동작을 제어하며, 차량 각 바퀴의 조향각 및 토우각을 조절하기 위한 운전자로부터의 조작에 따라 액츄에이터(108)의 동작을 제어하여 바퀴(116)의 조향각 및 토우각이 운전자의 조작에 대응되게 변화되도록 제어한다.1 is a block diagram of a vehicle AGCS system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as "ECU") 100 controls overall operation of various electronic devices of a vehicle and adjusts steering angle and toe angle of each wheel of the vehicle. By controlling the operation of the actuator 108 in accordance with the operation from the driver for controlling the steering angle and toe angle of the wheel 116 to change corresponding to the driver's operation.
액츄에이터(108)는 상기 ECU(100)로부터의 제어에 따라 서스펜션을 구성하는 링크들(110,112)을 제어한다. 즉 예를 들어 액츄에이터(108)가 수축되게 구동되는 경우에는 액츄에이터(108)에 연결된 콘트롤 레버(Control lever)(110)가 차량 바퀴의 토우를 조절하는 어시스트 링크(Assist link)(112)를 바깥쪽으로 밀게되어 어시스트 링크(112)에 연결된 차량의 바퀴(116)가 토우인(Toe-in)되게 된다. The actuator 108 controls the links 110 and 112 constituting the suspension according to the control from the ECU 100. That is, for example, when the actuator 108 is driven to contract, the control lever 110 connected to the actuator 108 adjusts the tow of the wheel of the vehicle to the outside of the assist link 112. The wheel 116 of the vehicle connected to the assist link 112 is toe-in.
이때 액츄에이터(108)는 전술한 바와 같이 차량 바퀴의 동작에 대한 정확한 제어를 위해 액츄에이터의 초기 홈위치(Home Position)를 정확하게 검출하는 것이 필요하다. 도 2는 상기 액츄에이터의 상세 내부 블록 구성을 도시한 것으로, 상기 도 2에서 보여지는 바와 같이, 차량의 시동 온(On) 시 ECU(100)는 홀센서(Hall sensor)(200)의 온 여부 검출을 통해 액츄에이터 링크(202)를 홈위치에 위치시킨 후, 이를 상기 도 2에 도시된 테스트 위치(204)까지 미리 설정된 제어속도로 저속 이동시켰다가 다시 홈위치로 이동시켜 홀센서(200)가 온 되는지 여부를 확인함으로서, 액츄에이터의 초기 홈위치를 정확하게 검출하게 된다. In this case, the actuator 108 needs to accurately detect the initial home position of the actuator for accurate control of the operation of the vehicle wheel as described above. FIG. 2 illustrates a detailed internal block configuration of the actuator. As shown in FIG. 2, the ECU 100 detects whether the Hall sensor 200 is on when the vehicle is turned on. After the actuator link 202 is positioned at the home position through the actuator link 202, the actuator link 202 is slowly moved to the test position 204 shown in FIG. By checking whether or not, the initial home position of the actuator is accurately detected.
도 3은 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 AGCS시스템에서의 액츄에이터 초기 위치 검출을 위한 동작 제어 흐름을 도시한 것이다. 이하 상기 도 1, 도 2 및 도 3을 참조하여 본 발명의 실시 예를 상세히 설명하도록 한다. 3 illustrates an operation control flow for detecting an actuator initial position in an AGCS system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3.
먼저 ECU(100)는 운전자에 의해 차량의 시동이 온 되는 경우 (S300)단계에서 상기 액츄에이터(108)의 홈위치를 검출하는 홀센서(200)가 온되는지 여부를 검사한다. 이때 만일 상기 홀센서(200)로부터 온 신호가 검출되는 않는 경우 ECU(100)는 (S302)단계로 진행해서 상기 액츄에이터 링크(202)를 홈위치 방향으로 저속 이동시킨다. 이때 상기 액츄에이터 링크(202)의 홈위치 이동에 따라 홀센서(200)로부터의 온 신호가 검출되는 경우 ECU(100)는 (S304)단계에서 (S306)단계로 진행해서 액츄에이터의 현 위치를 홈위치로 설정한다. First, the ECU 100 checks whether the hall sensor 200 for detecting the home position of the actuator 108 is turned on in step S300 when the vehicle is started by the driver. In this case, if the signal from the hall sensor 200 is not detected, the ECU 100 proceeds to step S302 and moves the actuator link 202 at a low speed toward the home position. At this time, when the on-signal from the hall sensor 200 is detected as the home position of the actuator link 202 moves, the ECU 100 proceeds from step S304 to step S306 to set the current position of the actuator to the home position. Set to.
이어 ECU(100)는 (S308)단계에서 미리 설정된 제어속도로 상기 액츄에이터 링크(202)를 홈위치로부터 테스트 위치(204)까지 저속이동시킨 후, 테스트 스위치(Limit S/W) 신호를 통해 상기 액츄에이터의 테스트 위치 도달을 검출하는 경우 (S310)단계로 진행해서 테스트 위치에 도달된 액츄에이터 링크(202)를 다시 홈위치로 이동시킨다. Subsequently, the ECU 100 moves the actuator link 202 at low speed from the home position to the test position 204 at a predetermined control speed in operation S308, and then, through the test switch (Limit S / W) signal, the actuator If it is detected that the test position is reached, the process proceeds to step S310 to move the actuator link 202 reached to the test position back to the home position.
그런 후, ECU(100)는 (S312)단계에서 상기 액츄에이터의 홈위치 이동으로 홀센서(200)가 다시 온 되는지 여부를 검사한다. 이때 만일 홈위치로 이동 제어된 액츄에이터 링크(108)에 의한 홀센서 온신호가 검출되지 않는 경우 ECU(100)는 (S314)단계에서 초기 홈위치 설정 에러가 발생하였음을 인식하고 액츄에이터의 초기 위치 검출 동작을 다시 수행하게 된다. After that, the ECU 100 checks whether the hall sensor 200 is turned on again by moving the home position of the actuator in step S312. At this time, if the Hall sensor ON signal is not detected by the actuator link 108 controlled to move to the home position, the ECU 100 recognizes that an initial home position setting error has occurred in step S314 and detects the initial position of the actuator. The operation will be performed again.
그러나 이와 달리 상기 (S312)단계에서 홈위치로 이동 제어된 액츄에이터 링크(202)에 의한 홀센서 온 신호가 검출되는 경우 ECU(100)는 (S316)단계로 진행해서 상기 액츄에이터(108)의 초기 홈위치 검출을 완료한다. 이에 따라 이후 운전자로부터의 동작 제어에 대응하는 보다 정밀한 액츄에이터 동작이 가능하도록 한다. However, when the Hall sensor ON signal is detected by the actuator link 202 which is controlled to move to the home position in step S312, the ECU 100 proceeds to step S316 to initialize the initial groove of the actuator 108. Complete position detection. This enables more precise actuator operation corresponding to subsequent motion control from the driver.
