智慧型多輪獨立動力輪之差速控制方法及其裝置Differential speed control method and device for intelligent multi-wheel independent power wheel

本發明係關於一種具有多獨立動力輪車輛之差速控制方法及其裝置,特別是一種能智慧地動態更新差速法則的差速控制方法及其裝置。The present invention relates to a differential control method and apparatus for a multi-independent power wheel vehicle, and more particularly to a differential control method and apparatus capable of intelligently updating a differential speed intelligently.

隨著環保、節能及安靜等要求之提高,電動車輛相較於傳統汽柴油車輛更受到業界的重視。而為了能提昇傳動效率,愈來愈多電動車輛採用輪內馬達(In-wheel hub motor)。輪內馬達指的是將馬達動力與輪胎整合為一體,完全不需要傳動軸、變速器、差動齒輪或是其他傳動組件。如此一來,可避免傳動所造成的能量損失。With the increasing requirements of environmental protection, energy saving and quietness, electric vehicles are more valued by the industry than traditional gasoline and diesel vehicles. In order to improve transmission efficiency, more and more electric vehicles use In-wheel hub motors. In-wheel motor refers to the integration of motor power and tires, eliminating the need for drive shafts, transmissions, differential gears or other drive components. In this way, the energy loss caused by the transmission can be avoided.

輪內馬達(或稱動力輪)雖具有上述優點,但因各個動力輪之間的動力及轉速輸出為各別獨立,故車輛需配置中央控制系統居間調配,以滿足車輛的各種行進狀態(例如迴轉時的差速關係)。電子差速系統可針對多輪獨立動力驅動車輛進行轉速匹配。其係依據車輛的尺寸(包括輪距、軸距等重要參數)發展適配的演算法則,以獲得滿足運動學的差速關係。除此之外,若驅動輪的配置設定改變(例如前驅設定、後驅設定),亦會造成控制演算法則的適用性問題。因此,「電子差速控制器」相較於「傳統機械式差速機構」,具有泛用性不足的缺點,亦缺乏實用上的方便性。Although the in-wheel motor (or power wheel) has the above advantages, since the power and speed output between the power wheels are independent, the vehicle needs to be equipped with a central control system to meet various traveling states of the vehicle (for example, The differential relationship at the time of rotation). The electronic differential system is capable of speed matching for multiple independent power-driven vehicles. It develops an adapted algorithm based on the size of the vehicle (including important parameters such as track and wheelbase) to obtain a differential relationship that satisfies kinematics. In addition, if the configuration setting of the drive wheel is changed (for example, the predecessor setting and the rear drive setting), the applicability problem of the control algorithm will also be caused. Therefore, the "electronic differential controller" has the disadvantage of being insufficient in general use compared with the "traditional mechanical differential mechanism" and lacks practical convenience.

為了能夠改善差速精度不足之電子差速系統,業界開發了許多技術。例如大陸申請第201021151號專利、以及台灣公告第I307319號專利。In order to improve the electronic differential system with insufficient differential accuracy, many technologies have been developed in the industry. For example, the mainland application No. 201021151 patent and the Taiwan publication No. I307319 patent.

前者公開之差速裝置透過左(右)輪比較電路模塊,以方向盤的左(右)差速訊號和踏板加速信號進行比較來決定左(右)輪差速控制信號輸出。此種由類比訊號模擬驅動輪差速關係之方式,若缺乏與車輛動力學進行嚴謹的交叉模擬與比對,對於車輛穩控的效果有限。The differential device disclosed by the former determines the left (right) wheel differential control signal output by comparing the left (right) differential signal of the steering wheel with the pedal acceleration signal through the left (right) wheel comparison circuit module. This kind of analog signal driving the differential speed of the analog wheel, if there is a lack of rigorous cross-simulation and comparison with the vehicle dynamics, the effect on vehicle stability control is limited.

後者以感測器偵測現時載具行駛動態與駕控動作要求,傳送訊號送至電子控制單元。電子控制單元計算、決定載具各車輪匹配於駕控動作要求之旋轉速度,根據轉速控制訊號控制以動力驅動單元控制各車輪旋轉動態,令載具依駕控動作要求驅動動作,可以降低過彎時方向盤操控負荷,亦或有效的減少車輛在過彎的過程當中所產生的最大翻滾角,以及在進入彎道後到結束過彎的過程中也能有效的抑制車身翻滾角,而大幅的降低過彎時車輛翻覆的可能性。The latter uses the sensor to detect the current vehicle driving dynamics and driving control requirements, and the transmission signal is sent to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit calculates and determines the rotation speed of each wheel of the carrier to match the driving control requirement, and controls the rotation dynamics of each wheel by the power driving unit according to the rotation speed control signal control, so that the vehicle drives the action according to the driving action requirement, and the bending can be reduced. When the steering wheel controls the load, it can also effectively reduce the maximum tumbling angle generated by the vehicle during cornering, and can effectively suppress the body roll angle after entering the curve and ending the cornering, and greatly reduce the tumbling angle. The possibility of vehicle overturning when cornering.

雖然業界提出了上述電子差速系統,除了差速精度不足之缺點仍然存在之外,依據車輛尺寸發展一適配演算法則所費時間相當長。短則半個月,長則數年不等。Although the above-mentioned electronic differential system has been proposed in the industry, in addition to the shortcomings of insufficient differential accuracy, it takes a long time to develop an adaptive algorithm according to the size of the vehicle. It is a short period of two months and a long period of several years.

基於上述習知技術之問題,本發明提出一種智慧型多輪獨立動力輪之差速控制方法及其控制裝置。此差速控制方法及控制裝置係能依車輛實際行駛狀態,動態地、智慧地更新差速法則,以快速調適出適合該車輛的差速法則。Based on the above problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a differential control method for a smart multi-wheel independent power wheel and a control device thereof.

依據一實施例,前述差速更新程序包含:判斷驅動參數之轉速是否低於轉速臨界值;以及若是,則依據使用者指令之轉向角訊號及轉速,更新差速法則。According to an embodiment, the differential update procedure includes: determining whether the rotational speed of the drive parameter is lower than a rotational speed threshold; and if so, updating the differential law according to a steering angle signal and a rotational speed commanded by the user.

依據一實施例,智慧型多輪獨立動力輪之差速控制裝置適於接收使用者指令驅動動力輪運轉。控制裝置包括:感測器、馬達驅動器、以及差速控制器。感測器用以感測使用者指令。馬達驅動器用以驅動動力輪運轉並輸出對應動力輪的運轉參數。差速控制器具有差速法則並依據使用者指令及運轉參數來判斷動力輪是否運轉於智慧模式。若動力輪運轉於智慧模式,差速控制器則執行一差速更新程序。若動力輪非運轉於智慧模式,差速控制器則依據使用者指令及差速法則控制馬達驅動器以驅動動力輪According to an embodiment, the differential control device of the intelligent multi-wheel independent power wheel is adapted to receive a user command to drive the power wheel to operate.

有關本發明的特徵與實作,茲配合圖示作最佳實施例詳細說明如下。The features and implementations of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the preferred embodiments.

首先,請參閱「第1圖」。「第1圖」為依據本發明之差速控制裝置10一實施例之電路方塊示意圖。差速控制裝置10適於接收使用者指令90以驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉。每個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d都各別具有一個輪內馬達94a,94b,94c,94d。輪內馬達94a,94b,94c,94d運轉時即帶動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d轉動。從圖中可以看出,差速控制裝置10係可控制4個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉,但並不以此為限,控制裝置10亦可控制2個、6個或8個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉。動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d在本實施例中係為電動動力輪。First, please refer to "Figure 1". Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the circuit of an embodiment of the differential control device 10 according to the present invention. The differential control device 10 is adapted to receive a user command 90 to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to operate. Each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d has an in-wheel motor 94a, 94b, 94c, 94d, respectively. When the in-wheel motors 94a, 94b, 94c, 94d are in operation, the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are rotated. As can be seen from the figure, the differential control device 10 can control the four power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to operate, but not limited thereto, the control device 10 can also control two, six or eight The power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d operate. The power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are in this embodiment an electric power wheel.

前述使用者指令90指的是使用者的駕駛意圖。使用者指令90可以是但不限於加速(或稱加速訊號、加速意圖、油門開度)、減速(或稱剎車訊號、減速意圖)、及轉向(或稱轉向角訊號、轉向意圖)。The aforementioned user command 90 refers to the user's driving intention. The user command 90 can be, but is not limited to, acceleration (or acceleration signal, acceleration intent, throttle opening), deceleration (or brake signal, deceleration intent), and steering (or steering angle signal, steering intent).

從圖中可以見悉,差速控制裝置10包含感測器12、馬達驅動器16、及差速控制器14。感測器12用以感測使用者指令90並輸出對應的訊號。感測器12可包含有轉向角感測器、加速感測器、及減速感測器。其中,轉向角感測器用以接收使用者指令90之轉向意圖並輸出轉向角訊號。加速感測器用以接收使用者指令90之加速意圖(或是油門踏板的開度)並輸出加速訊號。減速感測器用以接收使用者指令90之減速(剎車踏板的開度)意圖並輸出減速訊號。As can be seen from the figures, the differential control device 10 includes a sensor 12, a motor driver 16, and a differential controller 14. The sensor 12 is configured to sense the user command 90 and output a corresponding signal. The sensor 12 can include a steering angle sensor, an acceleration sensor, and a deceleration sensor. The steering angle sensor is configured to receive the steering intention of the user command 90 and output a steering angle signal. The acceleration sensor is configured to receive the acceleration intention of the user command 90 (or the opening of the accelerator pedal) and output an acceleration signal. The deceleration sensor is configured to receive the deceleration of the user command 90 (opening degree of the brake pedal) and output a deceleration signal.

馬達驅動器16用以驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉並輸出對應動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的運轉參數。運轉參數可以是但不限於驅動電壓V、驅動電流I、及轉速ω(或可稱車輪轉速)。轉速可以是從馬達驅動器16的反電動勢(Back Electro-magnetic Field(EMF))而得到的。馬達94a,94b,94c,94d被驅動運轉後,馬達驅動器16上會得到反電動勢。此反電動勢可以被偵測並以脈衝模式輸出。此脈衝所對應的物理量可以是馬達94a,94b,94c,94d的轉速(angular speed或稱rotational speed)。因此,馬達驅動器16在驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉的同時,可以即時輸出驅動電流I、驅動電壓V及轉速ω。The motor driver 16 is used to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to operate and output operating parameters corresponding to the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d. The operating parameters may be, but are not limited to, a driving voltage V, a driving current I, and a rotational speed ω (or may be referred to as a wheel rotational speed). The rotational speed may be obtained from the Back Electro-Magnetic Field (EMF) of the motor driver 16. When the motors 94a, 94b, 94c, 94d are driven, a counter electromotive force is obtained on the motor driver 16. This back electromotive force can be detected and output in pulse mode. The physical quantity corresponding to this pulse may be the angular speed (rotary speed) of the motors 94a, 94b, 94c, 94d. Therefore, the motor driver 16 can instantaneously output the drive current I, the drive voltage V, and the rotational speed ω while the drive power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating.

上述轉速ω係經由反電動勢而量測而得的,除此之外,部分馬達94a,94b,94c,94d亦內建霍爾效應感測器(Hall effect sensor)。此時,馬達驅動器16可經由霍爾效應感測器而測得動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速ω。轉速ω在本文中雖係以每分鐘之迴轉速(rpm,rotation per minute)為之,但並不以此為限。The above-described rotational speed ω is measured by the counter electromotive force. In addition, some of the motors 94a, 94b, 94c, and 94d also have built-in Hall effect sensors. At this time, the motor driver 16 can measure the rotational speed ω of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d via the Hall effect sensor. The rotational speed ω is herein referred to as rotation per minute (rpm), but is not limited thereto.

差速控制器14具有差速法則140並依據使用者指令90及運轉參數V,I,ω來判斷動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是否運轉於智慧模式。若動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉於智慧模式,差速控制器14則執行差速更新程序。若動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d非運轉於智慧模式,差速控制器14則依據使用者指令90及差速法則140控制馬達驅動器16以驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d。前述所謂動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉於智慧模式是指差速控制器14判斷結果為動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d目前的運轉模式屬於可進行差速學習的狀態(時機)。在智慧模式時,各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是處於自由滾動狀態,也就是未接受或僅接受非常低的驅動動力。此時,各動力輪間92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速ω關係乃為適配於目前的轉向角的自然現象,故能夠分別記錄於差速法則(或稱資料庫)內(容後詳述)。The differential controller 14 has a differential law 140 and determines whether the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating in a smart mode based on the user command 90 and the operating parameters V, I, ω. If the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating in the smart mode, the differential controller 14 performs a differential update procedure. If the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are not operating in the smart mode, the differential controller 14 controls the motor driver 16 to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d in accordance with the user command 90 and the differential law 140. The operation of the aforementioned power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d in the smart mode means that the differential controller 14 determines that the current operation modes of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d belong to a state in which differential learning is possible (timing). In the smart mode, each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is in a free rolling state, i.e., does not accept or only accept very low driving power. At this time, the relationship between the rotational speeds ω of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is a natural phenomenon suitable for the current steering angle, so it can be recorded separately in the differential law (or database). Said).

前述的差速法則140可以是依據轉向角度、車輛的輪距、軸距、驅動模式(前驅、後驅、或四驅)等推導並經驗證完成的差速法則140,亦可以是經過驗證後的一個查閱表。此查閱表通常是但不限於以轉向角度查詢各被驅動的動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間的速差關係式或速差值。差速法則140可以內建在差速控制器14內,亦可以在差速控制器14旁側配置一記憶體,將差速法則140儲存於記憶體中,由差速控制器14進行存取。The aforementioned differential law 140 may be a differential law 140 derived and verified according to a steering angle, a wheelbase of a vehicle, a wheelbase, a driving mode (precursor, a rear drive, or a four-wheel drive), or may be verified. a lookup table. This look-up table is typically, but not limited to, querying the speed difference or speed difference between the driven power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d at the steering angle. The differential law 140 can be built into the differential controller 14, or a memory can be placed beside the differential controller 14, and the differential law 140 can be stored in the memory and accessed by the differential controller 14. .

關於差速控制器14如何判斷動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是否運轉於智慧模式,及在智慧模式下如何進行差速更新程序等等,茲請參考「第2圖」。其係為依據本發明之差速控制方法一實施例之流程示意圖。Regarding how the differential controller 14 determines whether the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating in the smart mode, and how to perform the differential update procedure in the smart mode, please refer to "Fig. 2". It is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the differential control method according to the present invention.

圖中可以見悉,智慧型多輪獨立動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d之差速控制方法適於接收使用者指令90驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉。差速控制方法包含下述步驟:步驟S20:擷取使用者指令90及驅動參數V,I,ω,驅動參數係對應動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d;步驟S30:依據使用者指令90及驅動參數V,I,ω判斷動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是否運轉於智慧模式;步驟S40:若是,則執行差速更新程序;以及步驟S50:若否,則依據使用者指令90以及差速法則140驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉。As can be seen, the differential control method of the intelligent multi-wheel independent power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is adapted to receive user command 90 to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to operate. The differential control method includes the following steps: Step S20: capturing user command 90 and driving parameters V, I, ω, driving parameters corresponding to power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d; step S30: according to user instruction 90 and The drive parameters V, I, ω determine whether the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating in the smart mode; step S40: if yes, execute the differential update procedure; and step S50: if not, according to the user command 90 and the difference The speed law 140 drives the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to operate.

如同前述,步驟S20的使用者指令可以包含轉向角、油門踏板開度及剎車踏板開度。步驟S20的驅動參數包含驅動電壓V、驅動電流I及轉速ω。驅動參數V,I,ω與動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的對應關係為每一個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d均具有一組驅動電壓V、驅動電流I及轉速ω。藉此,差速控制器14即可得知車輛的車速、每個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的驅出扭矩等資訊。例如,車速可以從所有的動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速ω平均而得,而每個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的扭矩則可以由下述公式(1)計算而得。As described above, the user command of step S20 may include a steering angle, an accelerator pedal opening, and a brake pedal opening. The driving parameters of step S20 include a driving voltage V, a driving current I, and a rotation speed ω. The corresponding relationship between the drive parameters V, I, ω and the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is that each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d has a set of drive voltage V, drive current I and rotational speed ω. Thereby, the differential controller 14 can know information such as the vehicle speed of the vehicle and the drive-out torque of each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d. For example, the vehicle speed can be averaged from the rotational speeds ω of all of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d, and the torque of each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d can be calculated by the following formula (1).

其中,n為第n個動力輪,Tn 為第n個動力輪的扭矩,Vn 為第n個動力輪的驅動電壓,In 為第n個動力輪的驅動電流,ωn 為第n個動力輪的轉速。Where n is the nth power wheel, T n is the torque of the nth power wheel, V n is the driving voltage of the nth power wheel, I n is the driving current of the nth power wheel, and ω n is the nth The speed of the power wheel.

此外,若欲計算總合扭矩,則可以下述公式(2)計算而得:In addition, if you want to calculate the total combined torque, you can calculate it by the following formula (2):

其中,該Tall 為該總合扭矩,n為動力輪的個數,Ii 為第i個動力輪對應的該驅動電流,Vi 為第i個動力輪對應的該驅動電壓,ωi 為該第i個動力輪對應的該轉速。Wherein, T all is the total combined torque, n is the number of power wheels, I i is the driving current corresponding to the i-th power wheel, and V i is the driving voltage corresponding to the i-th power wheel, and ω i is The rotational speed of the i-th power wheel.

關於步驟S30:「依據使用者指令90及驅動參數V,I,ω判斷動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是否運轉於智慧模式」,請參考「第3圖」。此處的智慧模式指的是車輛目前的行駛狀態屬於非驅動狀態(未有加、減速)且車輛依據當前的車速依其慣性及車輛各零組件間的互動關係採類以無驅動的巡弋方式行進的模式。也就是說,車輪目前是依其慣性自由滾動的狀態(可稱車輛在滑行狀態)。若車輛以未被驅動的巡弋方式行進時,此時各輪之間的轉速關係即是該車輛最佳的差速關係,此時,即可將當前的轉向角與轉速關係記錄,做為其後在車輛在該轉向角下被驅動時的差速法則140。Regarding step S30: "Whether or not the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operated in the smart mode based on the user command 90 and the drive parameters V, I, ω", please refer to "Fig. 3". The smart mode here refers to the current driving state of the vehicle is non-driven (no acceleration, deceleration) and the vehicle adopts the undriven driving method according to the current speed of the vehicle according to its inertia and the interaction between the components of the vehicle. The mode of travel. That is to say, the wheel is currently in a state of free rolling according to its inertia (it can be said that the vehicle is in a coasting state). If the vehicle travels in an undriven patrol mode, the speed relationship between the wheels is the optimal differential relationship of the vehicle. At this time, the current steering angle and the speed relationship can be recorded as The differential law 140 is then applied when the vehicle is driven at the steering angle.

從「第3圖」可以見悉,步驟S30包含:步驟S32:判斷使用者指令90之轉向角訊號是否大於轉向角臨界值;步驟S34:若轉向角訊號大於該轉向角臨界值,則依據驅動參數判斷總合扭矩是否小於扭矩臨界值;以及步驟S36:若總合扭矩小於扭矩臨界值,則決定動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d是運轉於智慧模式。As can be seen from "Fig. 3", step S30 includes: step S32: determining whether the steering angle signal of the user command 90 is greater than a steering angle threshold; step S34: if the steering angle signal is greater than the steering angle threshold, then driving The parameter determines whether the total combined torque is less than the torque threshold; and step S36: if the combined torque is less than the torque threshold, it is determined that the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are operating in the smart mode.

步驟S38:若轉向角訊號未大於轉向角臨界值,則決定動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d非運轉於智慧模式。Step S38: If the steering angle signal is not greater than the steering angle threshold, it is determined that the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are not in the smart mode.

步驟S32中的使用者指令90之轉向角訊號係為由感應器12所輸出的。而轉向角臨界值則是用來判斷轉向角訊號是否屬於有轉向的狀態。若轉向角訊號大於轉向角臨界值,即表示目前的使用者指令90包含了要轉向的訊號。此時,差速控制器14即需參考差速法則140來驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d。而此轉向角訊號之決定端視差速法則140的最小角度(如轉向角臨界角)而定,一般可以設定為0.1度或其他數值。若轉向角訊號未大於轉向角臨界值,則判定動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d非運轉於智慧模式(步驟S38)。The steering angle signal of the user command 90 in step S32 is output by the sensor 12. The steering angle threshold is used to determine whether the steering angle signal is in a steered state. If the steering angle signal is greater than the steering angle threshold, it indicates that the current user command 90 contains the signal to be turned. At this time, the differential controller 14 needs to refer to the differential law 140 to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d. The decision angle of the steering angle signal depends on the minimum angle of the differential law 140 (such as the critical angle of the steering angle), and can generally be set to 0.1 degrees or other values. If the steering angle signal is not greater than the steering angle threshold, it is determined that the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are not operating in the smart mode (step S38).

接著,步驟S34係為在轉向角訊號大於該轉向角臨界值時,依據驅動參數判斷總合扭矩是否小於扭矩臨界值。其中的總合扭矩即時前述式(2)所計算而得的。此總合扭矩之判斷係用以決定車輛目前是否處於未被馬達驅動器16驅動的狀態中。為了判斷出車輛是否處於未被馬達驅動器16驅動的狀態之判斷方式,除了從總合扭矩中可以得知外,亦可但不限於驅動電流或驅動功率。也就是說,若驅動電流接近零(或電流臨界值)的話,即表示目前車輛並未被馬達驅動器16所驅動。或採用判斷驅動功率是否小於功率臨界值之方式。此扭矩臨界值之設定可以為零或接近零的正值。例如扭矩臨界值可以是50N-m(牛頓米)。電流臨界值可以是10安培。功率臨界值可以是500瓦特。設定扭矩臨界值之考量因素可以是無加速命令、及系統雜訊之程度等等。Next, in step S34, when the steering angle signal is greater than the steering angle threshold, it is determined whether the total torque is less than the torque threshold according to the driving parameter. The total combined torque is calculated by the above formula (2). The determination of the total torque is used to determine whether the vehicle is currently in a state that is not driven by the motor driver 16. In order to determine whether the vehicle is in a state not driven by the motor driver 16, it may be known from the total torque, but it is not limited to the drive current or the drive power. That is to say, if the driving current approaches zero (or current threshold), it means that the vehicle is not currently driven by the motor driver 16. Or use the method of determining whether the driving power is less than the power threshold. This torque threshold can be set to a positive value of zero or near zero. For example, the torque threshold can be 50 N-m (Newton meters). The current threshold can be 10 amps. The power threshold can be 500 watts. The factors that determine the torque threshold can be the speed without the acceleration command, the degree of system noise, and so on.

若總合扭矩未大於扭矩臨界值,則判定動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d非運轉於智慧模式(步驟S38)If the total combined torque is not greater than the torque threshold, it is determined that the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d are not in the smart mode (step S38)

關於步驟S34之程序,請參考「第4圖」閱覽之。從圖中可以看出,步驟S34包含:步驟S340:依據驅動參數之驅動電壓、驅動電流及轉速獲得單輪扭矩,單輪扭矩係對應動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d;步驟S342:加總單輪扭矩獲得該總合扭矩;以及步驟S344:判斷總合扭矩是否小於扭矩臨界值。For the procedure of step S34, please refer to "Figure 4" for reading. As can be seen from the figure, step S34 includes: step S340: obtaining a single wheel torque according to driving voltage, driving current and rotational speed of the driving parameter, the single wheel torque corresponding to the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d; step S342: summing The single wheel torque obtains the total combined torque; and step S344: determining whether the combined torque is less than the torque threshold.

步驟S340及S342即是上述式(2)之展開流程。Steps S340 and S342 are the development flow of the above formula (2).

從步驟S32及步驟S34即可得知,在轉向角及總合扭矩各別符合步驟S32與S34之條件下,車輛即處在未被驅動的巡弋模式,亦即前述的智慧模式下(步驟S36)。若車輛(動力輪)是在智慧模式下,即可執行步驟S40之「執行差速更新程序」。It can be seen from step S32 and step S34 that under the condition that the steering angle and the total combined torque are respectively in accordance with steps S32 and S34, the vehicle is in the undriven cruise mode, that is, in the aforementioned smart mode (step S36). ). If the vehicle (power wheel) is in the smart mode, the "execution differential update procedure" of step S40 can be executed.

請參閱「第5圖」,其係為依據本發明之差速控制方法一實施例之步驟S40的流程示意圖。從圖中可以知悉步驟S40的「差速更新程序」包含:步驟S402:判斷驅動參數之轉速是否低於轉速臨界值;步驟S404:若是,則依據使用者指令90之轉向角訊號及轉速,更新差速法則140;以及步驟S406:若否,則結束差速更新程序。Please refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic flowchart of step S40 of an embodiment of the differential control method according to the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that the "difference update procedure" of step S40 includes: step S402: determining whether the rotational speed of the driving parameter is lower than the rotational speed critical value; and step S404: if yes, updating according to the steering angle signal and the rotational speed of the user command 90; Differential law 140; and step S406: If no, the differential update procedure is ended.

步驟S402係判斷各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速是否過大。若轉速過大,各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間有可能有滑差(Skid)現象產生。也就是說,若各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d(車輛)目前處於未被驅動的巡弋狀態下行進,但是若其轉速過高,某一個動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d將有可能會產生滑差。如此一來,各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間的差速關係並非純自然(或稱非人工)的差速關係,而是「具有滑差的差速關係」,而不適合被記錄。換句話說,步驟S40的差速更新程序係將各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間純自然(非人工)的差速關係更新至差速法則140中,上述未滿足步驟S402之差速情形將不適合被記錄。前述轉速臨界值(或可稱車輪轉速臨界值)可以是1000轉每分(rpm,rotation per minute)。其次,步驟S402亦可增加判斷各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速是否過小,在轉速過小時,亦不適合記錄各輪間的差速關係。In step S402, it is judged whether or not the rotational speed of each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is excessive. If the rotation speed is too large, there may be a slip phenomenon between the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d. That is, if each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d (vehicle) is currently traveling in an undriven cruise state, if the speed is too high, a certain power wheel 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d will be possible. Will produce slip. As a result, the differential relationship between the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d is not a purely natural (or non-manual) differential relationship, but a "difference relationship with slip" and is not suitable for recording. In other words, the differential update procedure of step S40 updates the purely natural (non-manual) differential relationship between the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to the differential law 140, which does not satisfy the differential speed of step S402. The situation will not be suitable for being recorded. The aforementioned speed threshold (or may be referred to as the wheel speed threshold) may be 1000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Next, step S402 can also increase whether the rotational speed of each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is too small, and when the rotational speed is too small, it is not suitable for recording the differential relationship between the wheels.

步驟S402的轉速臨界值係可經由實驗而得到。一般而言,在較低的車速下,各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d較不會有滑差產生。因此,轉速臨界值可以為10,20,30或40公里每小時(Km/hr)。不過此轉速臨界值亦可隨著轉向角而變化。例如,若轉向角愈大,轉速臨界值可設定的愈小。反之,若轉向角愈大,則轉速臨界值可設定稍大。此種設定方式之原因在於,當轉向角愈大時,輪子產生滑差之機會就增加,故需在更低的轉速下,才能更有把握地得到非人工的差速關係。The speed threshold of step S402 can be obtained experimentally. In general, at lower vehicle speeds, each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d is less prone to slip. Therefore, the speed threshold can be 10, 20, 30 or 40 kilometers per hour (Km/hr). However, this speed threshold can also vary with the steering angle. For example, if the steering angle is larger, the speed threshold can be set smaller. Conversely, if the steering angle is larger, the speed threshold can be set slightly larger. The reason for this setting is that as the steering angle is larger, the chance of the wheel slipping increases, so that a lower manual speed is required to obtain a non-manual differential relationship with greater confidence.

當符合步驟S402之情形下,即依步驟S404將使用者指令90之轉向角訊號及轉速,更新於差速法則140中。也就是說把轉向角及該轉向角對應的各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的轉速關係對差速法則140進行更新。若差速法則140是一關係式,則可以重新進行關係式演算(如迴歸、趨近線等)。若差速法則140是一查閱表(Look-up Table),則可以直接更新該轉向角所對應的各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的差速值。When the step S402 is met, the steering angle signal and the rotational speed of the user command 90 are updated in the differential law 140 according to step S404. That is, the differential speed rule 140 is updated by the steering angle and the rotational speed relationship of each of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d corresponding to the steering angle. If the differential law 140 is a relational expression, the relational calculus (such as regression, approach line, etc.) can be re-executed. If the differential law 140 is a look-up table, the differential values of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d corresponding to the steering angle can be directly updated.

當不符合步驟S402之情形下,則依據步驟S406「結束差速更新程序」。再回到步驟S20。When the step S402 is not satisfied, the "end of the differential update procedure" is performed in accordance with step S406. Going back to step S20.

上述對於智慧模式下,所獲得的轉速關係及轉向角是否適於被更新於差速法則140中,另可以增加一個判斷法則:步驟S408「判斷使用者指令90之減速訊號是否低於減速臨界值」。此步驟係可排除使用者在踩下剎車的狀態。由於使用者踩下剎車,車輪可能會打滑,此時各輪的差速關係可能並不適合被記錄,可以不拿來做更新差速法則140的依據。前述減速臨界值可以是但不限於剎車踏板之踩踏行程的某個百分比,例如踩踏全行程的10%。當然,本發明並不限於此,某些場合下,亦可將此踩下剎車的狀態列入更新差速法則140的參考。In the smart mode, whether the obtained speed relationship and the steering angle are suitable to be updated in the differential law 140, a further determination rule may be added: Step S408 "determine whether the deceleration signal of the user command 90 is lower than the deceleration threshold. "." This step eliminates the user's ability to step on the brakes. Since the user may step on the brakes, the wheels may slip. At this time, the differential relationship of each wheel may not be suitable for recording, and may not be used as a basis for updating the differential law 140. The aforementioned deceleration threshold may be, but is not limited to, a certain percentage of the pedaling stroke of the brake pedal, such as 10% of the full stroke of the pedal. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in some cases, the state in which the brake is depressed may be included in the reference of the updated differential law 140.

再者,為了能夠增加更新差速法則140的較佳做法,係可增加一判斷流程。也就是說在步驟S404之前增加一個步驟S403「依據轉向角判斷轉速是否落於合理範圍」,若是,則執行步驟S404「依據使用者指令90之轉向角訊號及轉速,更新差速法則140」。若否,則執行步驟S406「結束差速更新程序」。Furthermore, in order to be able to increase the preferred practice of updating the differential law 140, a decision process can be added. That is to say, a step S403 "determine whether the rotation speed falls within a reasonable range according to the steering angle" is added before step S404. If yes, step S404 "update the differential speed rule 140 according to the steering angle signal and the rotation speed of the user command 90" is executed. If not, step S406 "End of the differential update procedure" is executed.

此步驟S403中的合理範圍係指各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間的合理差速關係。此合理差速關係可以是由通用的差速理論依輪距、軸距等參數推導出的合理速差。因此,若差速控制器14得到的各輪差速關係未落於該合理速差內,即表示有問題,將不進行更新,以免產生無法預期的結果。The reasonable range in this step S403 refers to a reasonable differential relationship between the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d. This reasonable differential relationship can be a reasonable speed difference derived from the general differential theory based on parameters such as track and wheelbase. Therefore, if the differential relationship obtained by the differential controller 14 does not fall within the reasonable speed difference, it indicates that there is a problem, and no update will be performed to avoid unpredictable results.

此外,關於步驟S404「更新差速法則140」之時機,亦可考量下述因素:In addition, regarding the timing of "update the differential law 140" in step S404, the following factors may also be considered:

1.若目前使用者指令90之轉向角與正要更新的轉向角相同時,為了避免頓挫情形發生,可以在更新差速法則140之前,先行判斷當前轉向角度,在當前轉向角不同於待更新的轉向角時,再對差速法則140進行更新。1. If the steering angle of the current user command 90 is the same as the steering angle to be updated, in order to avoid the occurrence of a setback situation, the current steering angle may be determined before the differential speed rule 140 is updated, and the current steering angle is different from the current steering angle. The differential law 140 is updated when the steering angle is reached.

2.為了減少更新的頻率,可以在差速控制器14內或外配置一個記憶體,存儲一備份法則(現有差速法則140之備份)。每次有更新差速法則140時,亦將備份法則進行更新。當有新的可更新轉向角及其對應的差速關係時,先於該備份法則確認待更新的與現行的差速關係是否相同,若不相同,再伺機更新於使用中的差速法則140。2. To reduce the frequency of updates, a memory can be placed inside or outside the differential controller 14 to store a backup rule (backup of the existing differential law 140). The backup rule is also updated each time the differential rate rule is updated. When there is a new updateable steering angle and its corresponding differential relationship, it is confirmed whether the relationship to be updated is the same as the current differential relationship before the backup rule. If not, the servo is updated to the differential law in use 140. .

3.為減少更新頻率,亦可先確認待更新資料是否曾有相同資料被更新於差速法則中,若是,則不進行更新,以免重覆更新相同資料。3. To reduce the frequency of updates, you can also confirm whether the data to be updated has been updated in the differential law. If it is, it will not be updated to avoid repeating the same data.

關於步驟S50「依據使用者指令90以及差速法則140驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d運轉」指的即是依據使用者指令90中的轉向角訊號在差速法則140上獲取各輪的差速關係,之後據以驅動各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d。例如,若當前的轉向角為5度,則在差速法則140(若為一查閱表)上查閱轉向角5度所對應各動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d間的差速關係,並參考加速訊號或減速訊號,形成各輪的驅動訊號,其後,差速控制器14即將驅動訊號提供給馬達驅動器16,以驅動動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d轉動。In step S50, "the driving of the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d according to the user command 90 and the differential law 140" means that the wheels are acquired on the differential law 140 according to the steering angle signal in the user command 90. The differential relationship is followed by driving the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d. For example, if the current steering angle is 5 degrees, the differential relationship between the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, and 92d corresponding to the steering angle of 5 degrees is referred to the differential law 140 (if it is a look-up table), and reference is made to The acceleration signal or the deceleration signal forms a driving signal for each wheel, and thereafter, the differential controller 14 supplies the driving signal to the motor driver 16 to drive the power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d to rotate.

藉由上述智慧型多輪獨立動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d之差速控制方法及其裝置,設計者可以在設計具多輪獨立動力輪92a,92b,92c,92d的車輛之初,先行內建一個較為通用、廣泛性的差速法則140於差速控制器14,其後再經由測試人員持續地將車輛以各個轉向角行進於智慧模式(可稱學習模式或非人工之差速關係模式),此時差速控制方法及裝置即會自動動態地更新差速法則140,進而得到一個完全符合該車輛的差速法則140。如此一來,即能快速地將設計及驗證時間縮短,並得到更精確的差速關係。同時,經本發明完成的差速法則140是完全針對該車輛之各項條件下完成的客制化的差速法則140。此客制化的差速法則140相較於習知技術針對同一款車所配置的差速法則將更為精確。其次,在車輛出廠後,亦可選擇性地開啟或關閉此差速更新程序,以滿足不同的需求。With the above-described differential control method and device for the intelligent multi-wheel independent power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d, the designer can first design a vehicle with multiple independent power wheels 92a, 92b, 92c, 92d. A more general and extensive differential rule 140 is built in the differential controller 14, and then the vehicle is continuously driven by the tester to each of the steering angles in a smart mode (a learning mode or a non-manual differential relationship). Mode), at this time, the differential control method and device automatically and dynamically update the differential law 140 to obtain a differential law 140 that fully complies with the vehicle. In this way, the design and verification time can be quickly shortened and a more accurate differential relationship can be obtained. At the same time, the differential law 140 completed by the present invention is a differential law 140 that is fully customized for the various conditions of the vehicle. This customized differential law 140 will be more accurate than the differential law configured for the same vehicle in the prior art. Secondly, after the vehicle is shipped, the differential update program can be selectively turned on or off to meet different needs.
