Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for functional testing of a pressure generator unit of an electronically slip-controllable external power brake system with redundant brake pressure generation, in particular for an autonomously drivable motor vehicle according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- Electronically slip-controllable external power brake systems with non-redundant brake pressure generation are sufficiently known, for example, from DE 102013 227065 A1.
- an external power brake system differs from muscle power brake systems in that, during a braking process under normal operating conditions, the brake pressure is not provided by the muscle power of the driver, but by a pressure generator driven by an external force.
- an external power brake system has an electronic control unit that detects a braking request from the driver, from this with the help of stored characteristic curves which, for example, indicate a brake pressure depending on the actuation path of a braking request detection device, a setpoint for a brake pressure to be set, and this brake pressure is determined by the corresponding electrical control of the drive of a pressure generator.
- the pressure generating units used here are usually spatially separated units with electronic control devices and power supplies that are separate from one another. For easier differentiation, the pressure generating units are therefore also referred to as primary and secondary pressure generating units.
- both pressure generating units can be involved in building up the brake pressure or the secondary pressure generating unit is inactive and only takes over the braking pressure build-up after a fault has been detected in the primary pressure generating unit.
- the invention explained below is based on such an interpretation.
- the external power brake system known from the above-mentioned publication has a primary pressure generator unit with an electronically controllable plunger unit as the first pressure generator and a
- secondary pressure generator units are only activated in the event of a malfunction in the primary pressure generator unit, their functionality must be ensured are checked at regular intervals to ensure that they are operational if necessary.
- the invention according to the features of claim 1 offers the possibility of checking the functionality of a pressure generating unit without the involvement of the driver.
- the check can thus be carried out in an automated manner, in which case, for example, predetermined test intervals, prevailing environmental conditions or previously completed load spectrum of the external power brake system can be taken into account as triggering events for carrying out such a check.
- the method can be carried out with the pressure-medium-controlling components of the brake system that are already present and does not require any additional mechanical components.
- at least one of the pressure generators is actuated and the valves of the brake system are controlled in such a way that both pressure generator assemblies are hydraulically contacted in parallel with at least one of the brake circuits, but not with a wheel brake of this brake circuit.
- the pressures and / or distances of the actuating device of the brake system that are established are measured using existing sensors and evaluated or checked for plausibility by the electronic control unit. When errors occur, a warning signal or a request to have the external power brake system checked is sent to the driver in a specialist workshop. The operational safety of the external power brake system can thus be ensured even in the event of a fault.
- the proposed methods are not based on any variables representing the driving dynamics of the vehicle and can therefore in principle also be carried out when the vehicle is stationary, for example when the driver is not present or before or when the vehicle engine is started up.
- FIG. 1 the drawing shows the hydraulic circuit diagram of an external power brake system on which the invention is based.
- the figure shows this external power brake system in a currentless, non-actuated basic position
- FIG. 2 shows the hydraulic circuit diagram of the external power brake system according to FIG. 1 in the state of the functional test of a switching valve of the secondary pressure generator assembly
- Figure 3 the hydraulic circuit diagram of the external power brake system according to Figure 1 in the state of a first variant for testing the function of a drive of a pressure generator of the secondary pressure generator
- Figure 4 the hydraulic circuit diagram of the external power brake system according to Figure 1 in the state of a second variant for testing the function of a drive of a pressure generator Secondary pressure generator unit.
- the electronically slip-controllable external power brake system 10 shown there consists of a primary pressure generator unit 12 and a secondary pressure generator unit 14.
- the two pressure generator units 12, 14 spatially form one another separated structural units with hydraulic connections 16a-d, 17a-d which are separable and hydraulically contacted with one another in pairs via a total of four hydraulic lines 18a-d.
- the primary pressure generator assembly 12 includes, among other things, a master brake cylinder 20 with two pressure chambers 22a, b in a brake cylinder housing 24.
- the pressure chambers 22a, b are supplied with hydraulic pressure medium via a pressure medium reservoir 26, which is integrated into the primary pressure generator assembly 12, for example.
- the pressure chambers 22a, b are each limited by one of a total of two brake cylinder pistons 28a, b.
- a first brake cylinder piston 28a is referred to as a rod piston and is coupled via an actuation rod 30 to an actuation device, here embodied in the form of a brake pedal 32, for example.
- the second brake cylinder piston 28b is arranged in a floating manner in the interior of the brake cylinder housing 24 and is accordingly called a floating piston.
- Rod pistons and floating pistons support one another via piston springs 34a, b from one another or at a closed end of the brake cylinder housing 24.
- a travel sensor 40 also provided measures the actuation travel of the actuation rod 30. The corresponding travel signal is also sent to the electronic control unit 38a of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 forwarded.
- the actuation travel of the actuation rod 30 and the pressure in the pressure chambers 22a, b of the master cylinder 20 are proportional to each other due to the pressure medium volume displaced from the pressure chambers 22a, b of the master cylinder 20 during a braking process. They represent a braking request specified by the driver and thus represent the main control variables of the external power brake system 10.
- the displaced volume of pressure medium can be determined from the actuation path and ultimately a target brake pressure to be expected in the brake circuits 64a, b can be determined.
- a setpoint value for an actuation travel of the actuation rod 30 can also be determined from the measured brake pressure, so that, based on this relationship, the signals for the brake pressure and travel of the actuation device can be mutually checked by the electronic control unit 38a.
- the power brake system 10 is equipped with a pedal travel simulator 42.
- This pedal travel simulator 42 is connected, for example, to the pressure chamber 22a enclosed between the brake cylinder pistons 28a, b of the master brake cylinder 20 and buffers the pressure medium volume displaced therefrom.
- the pedal travel simulator 42 has a simulator piston 44, which is acted upon by a simulator spring 46.
- a hydraulic connection between the pedal travel simulator 42 and the associated pressure chamber 22a of the master brake cylinder 20 can be controlled by means of a simulator control valve 50.
- This simulator control valve 50 is an electronically controllable, normally closed switching valve, the inlet of which is in contact with the pressure chamber 22a of the master brake cylinder 20 and the outlet of which is in contact with a simulator chamber of the pedal travel simulator 42. From the two pressure chambers 22a, b of the master cylinder 20, two separate hydraulic lines 18a, b lead to a first pair of hydraulic connections 16a, b of the primary pressure generator unit 12. Through these two hydraulic connections 16a, b, pressure medium can be transferred from the pressure medium reservoir 26 via the main brake cylinder 20 in the direction of the Secondary pressure generator assembly 14 flow.
- the primary pressure generator unit 12 is also equipped with a first pressure generator driven by an external force.
- This is a plunger unit 52 with a plunger piston 54 which is arranged displaceably in a plunger cylinder 56.
- the plunger 54 is driven via an electronically controllable first motor 58 as well as a mechanical gear 60 arranged downstream of this motor 58.
- the latter converts a rotational movement emitted by the motor 58 into a linear movement for the plunger 54.
- pressure medium is displaced from a plunger working space 62 into, for example, two brake circuits 64a, b connected to it.
- a brake pressure that correlates with the driver's braking request builds up.
- the volume of the plunger working chamber 62 increases and pressure medium flows, in the case of open plunger control valves 76a, b, from the brake circuits 64a, b into the plunger working chamber 62, which leads to a reduction in brake pressure in the brake circuits 64a, b.
- the plunger control valves 76a, b are closed, pressure medium flows from the pressure medium reservoir 26 into the plunger working chamber 62.
- the electronic control device 38a of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 determines a braking request, as mentioned, from the actuation travel of the actuation rod 30. To this end, the electronic control device 38a determines a control signal for the motor 58 of the plunger unit 52 from this travel signal.
- This plunger unit 52 is also supplied with pressure medium from the pressure medium reservoir 26 via a supply line 68.
- the supply line 68 is led directly to the pressure medium reservoir 26 and branches into one first line branch 70a, which opens into plunger working space 62 at the outer reversal point of plunger piston 54, and into a second line branch 70b, which opens into plunger working space 62 in the region of an inner reversal point of plunger piston 54.
- a rotation angle sensor 72 is provided for monitoring and regulating the plunger unit 52, among other things, which measures the rotation angle covered by the drive shaft of the motor 58 and forwards this signal to the electronic control unit 38a for evaluation.
- the angle of rotation covered is proportional to the actuation path of the plunger piston 54 and accordingly provides reliable information about the pressure medium volume displaced by the plunger unit 52 into the brake circuits 64a, b or about known pressure / volume characteristics of the brake circuits 64a, b one in the brake circuits 64a, b expected target brake pressure.
- An actual value for the brake pressure established in one of the brake circuits 64a, b can be measured via a second pressure sensor 74 which is in contact with the plunger working space 62.
- each brake circuit 64a, b is equipped with a plunger control valve 76a, b.
- These plunger control valves 76a, b can be controlled electrically by the control unit 38a of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 and can be switched from a normally closed basic position to an open position.
- each brake circuit 64a, b there is a so-called circuit separation valve 78a, b, which are arranged downstream of the aforementioned plunger control valves 76a, b.
- These circuit separation valves 78a, b can also be controlled electrically by the control unit 38a of the primary pressure generator assembly 12. They are designed as normally permeable valves that can be switched to a blocking division. In the closed state, the circuit isolating valves 78a, b interrupt an otherwise existing pressure medium connection between a brake circuit 64a, b and a second pair of hydraulic connections 16c, d of the primary pressure generator unit 12.
- Via these hydraulic connections 16c, d is the primary pressure generator unit 12 with associated hydraulic connections 17c, d of the secondary pressure generator unit 14 contacted. Downstream of the circuit separation valves 78a, b or the plunger control valves 76a, b and upstream of the connected wheel brakes 66a-d, there is also a pressure modulation device in the brake circuits 64a, b.
- This pressure modulation device comprises one pressure build-up valve 80a-d and one pressure reduction valve 82a-d for each connected wheel brake 66a-d.
- valves can be controlled separately from one another by the electronic control unit 38a of the primary pressure generator unit 12 and allow a brake pressure to be set individually for each wheel, for example in order to adapt this brake pressure to the currently prevailing slip conditions on the assigned wheel.
- the pressure build-up valves 80a-d are normally open for this purpose and can be converted into a blocking division by electrical activation. With the pressure build-up valves 80a-d, a transition from the open to the closed state can take place continuously by means of adapted electrical control signals, which allows the brake pressure to be set very sensitively.
- the pressure reduction valves 82a-d are designed as switching valves which can be switched from a normally closed basic position to an open position, for example if a brake pressure currently prevailing in one of the wheel brakes 66a-d is to be reduced in order to avoid wheel slip.
- the pressure reduction valves 82a-d are connected to the supply line 68 of the plunger unit 52 via a common return line 84. Pressure medium flowing out of the wheel brakes 66a-d thus returns directly to the pressure medium reservoir 26 or to the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12.
- the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 is equipped with one pressure generator for each brake circuit 64a, b, that is to say with a total of two pressure generators according to the illustrated embodiment.
- These pressure generators are preferably piston pumps 86a, b which can be actuated jointly by a second motor 88 and an eccentric (not shown) driven by it.
- the second motor 88 can be controlled electrically by a second electronic control device 38b assigned to the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- the pressure generator units 12, 14 each have a total of four hydraulic connections 16a-d; 17a-d, which by four hydraulic lines 18a-d are hydraulically contacted with one another in pairs.
- Two of these hydraulic connections 17a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 are each coupled to the suction side of one of the piston pumps 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- These hydraulic connections 17a, b are in contact with those two hydraulic connections 16a, b of the primary pressure generator assembly 12, which are hydraulically connected to the pressure chambers 22a, b of the master brake cylinder 20.
- the pressure medium connections shown in this way can be controlled by so-called high pressure switching valves 90a, b in the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- These high-pressure switching valves 90a, b are designed in such a way that they can be switched from a normal shut-off position to an open position by electrical control, this switchover being possible due to the valve design even if there is a large pressure gradient at the high-pressure switching valves 90a, b.
- a second pair of hydraulic connections 17c, d of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 is assigned to the pressure side of these piston pumps 86a, b.
- This second pair of hydraulic connections 17c, d is in contact with a second pair of hydraulic connections 16c, d of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 and provides between the piston pumps 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 and the brake circuits 64a, b of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 or the wheel brakes 66a connected to it d establish a pressure medium connection.
- This pressure medium connection can be controlled by the electronically controllable circuit separation valves 78a, b in the primary pressure generator assembly 12.
- the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 finally also has so-called switchover valves 92a, b.
- These switching valves 92a, b can also be controlled by the electronic second control unit 38b of the secondary pressure generator unit 14, are permeable in the basic position and can be continuously converted into a blocking division.
- the switchover valves 92a, b thus act as throttle devices with which a flow cross section in a bypass 94a, b bypassing the piston pumps 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 can be variably set. By means of corresponding electrical control, they enable different brake pressures to be set by the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- the switchover valves 92a, b also enable a largely unthrottled connection of the master cylinder 20 to the wheel brakes 66a-d and thus allow a build-up of brake pressure in these wheel brakes 66a-d through the muscular strength of the driver. In professional circles, this is referred to as the hydromechanical fall-back level. This enables the driver to build up brake pressure in the wheel brakes 66a-d even when none of the pressure generating units 12, 14 is available, for example in the event of a total failure of the voltage supplies to the control units 38a, b.
- the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 also has a third pressure sensor 96, which measures the brake pressure in the pressure medium connection of the master brake cylinder 20 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 with the suction side of a piston pump 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- Figure 1 shows the explained external power brake system 10 in its basic bw. Rest position. In this position, the brake circuits 64a, b are in a depressurized state, plunger unit 52 and piston pumps 86a, b are not actuated, the above-mentioned valves are not electrically controlled and accordingly assume their structurally predetermined starting positions.
- the simulator control valve 50 is in the blocking division and thus interrupts the pressure medium connection between the pressure chamber 22a of the master brake cylinder 20 and the pedal travel simulator 42.
- the circuit isolating valves 78a, b are open and establish a hydraulic connection between the brake circuits 64a, b and the secondary pressure generator assembly 14.
- the plunger unit 52 is decoupled from the brake circuits 64a, b via the blocking plunger control valves 76a, b.
- the pressure build-up valves 80a-d are in the open position and couple the wheel brakes 66a-d to the brake circuits 64a, b, while the pressure-reducing valves 82a-d shut off the connection between these wheel brakes 66a-d and the return line 84.
- the high-pressure switching valves 90a, b are closed and the switching valves 92a, b are open.
- the piston pumps 86a, b are thus separated from the master brake cylinder 20 with their suction side.
- the suction side of the piston pumps 86a, b is connected to the pressure side via the bypass 94a, b controlled by the switchover valve 92a, b.
- a driver When there is a braking request, a driver actuates the brake pedal 32 and thus applies an axial force to the brake cylinder piston 28a (rod piston). This axial force is transmitted to the brake cylinder piston 28b (floating piston) via the piston spring 34a and is supported on the brake cylinder housing 24 via the piston spring 28b.
- the brake cylinder piston 28a moves against the force of the piston spring 34a into the brake cylinder housing 24 and displaces pressure medium from the pressure chamber 22a between the two brake cylinder pistons 28a, b into the pedal travel simulator 42.
- the connection of the master cylinder 20 to the pedal travel simulator 42 is opened by the Simulator control valve 50 is activated by electronic control unit 38a and consequently brought into its open position.
- the path of the rod piston or the actuating rod 30 that is consequently established is detected by the path sensor 40 and passed on to the electronic control unit 38a of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 as a control variable.
- the control unit 38a recognizes the braking request and processes the input path signal further into a control signal to the first motor 58 of the plunger unit 52.
- This motor 58 drives the plunger piston 54 of the pressure generator accordingly, which then transfers a volume of pressure medium from the plunger working chamber 62 that is correlated to the braking request the plunger control valves 76a, b, which are now in the open position, are displaced into the brake circuits 64a, b.
- the pressure in the brake circuits 64a, b thus rises and acts on the connected wheel brakes 66a-d via the open pressure build-up valves 80a-d.
- the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 is accordingly not required during normal braking processes and only becomes active when a fault in the primary pressure generator assembly 12 has been detected.
- the functionality of the switching valves 92a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 is first checked.
- the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator unit 12 is actuated in the pressure build-up direction by actuating the assigned first motor 58 and the plunger control valves 76a, b are brought into their open position by electrical actuation.
- the plunger unit 52 is thus connected to the brake circuits 64a, b. These valves are closed by electronic control of the pressure build-up valves 80a-d and decouple the wheel brakes 66a-d from the brake circuits 64a, b.
- the circuit isolation valves 78a, b remain open and thus establish a hydraulic connection between the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 and the brake circuits 64a, b.
- the primary pressure generator assembly 12 and the secondary pressure generator assembly are thus connected to the brake circuits 64a, b in parallel with one another.
- the switchover valves 92a, b are activated by the second electronic control unit 38b.
- the control signal is selected in such a way that the switchover valves 92a, b only partially close and act as throttle devices. From previous investigations or measurements on the brake circuit 64a, b it is known which differential pressure drops at the switchover valves 92a, b for the specified control signal or for the set throttle position. This differential pressure is now set by electrically controlling the drive of the plunger unit 52. To regulate the control signal to the first motor 58, this is done the actual value of the brake pressure measured by the second pressure sensor 74 is used.
- the switchover valves 92a, b can maintain the set pressure. If, for example, the plunger piston 54 moves in the pressure build-up direction at a speed that exceeds a predefined limit speed, this behavior indicates that the leakage occurring at the switchover valves 92a, b is impermissibly high. As a consequence, a malfunction present at switchover valves 92a, b is recognized and a corresponding warning signal is sent to the driver.
- valves in the primary pressure generator unit 12 are activated by the associated electronic control unit 38a as follows: Circular separation valves 78a, b remain in the basic or open position, the plunger control valves 76a, b are activated and assume the open position.
- the pressure build-up valves 80a-d are also activated electrically, but thereby assume the blocking division.
- the second electronic control device 38b assigned to the secondary pressure generator unit 14 controls the switchover valves 92a, b and brings them into the blocking division. Furthermore, the electronic control device 38b brings the high-pressure switching valves 90a, b into the open position.
- the piston pumps 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 and the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 are also connected in parallel to the two brake circuits 64a, b and the wheel brakes 66a-d are decoupled from these brake circuits 64a, b in this method.
- a brake pressure is now built up in the brake circuits 64a, b, which spreads through the open circuit separation valves 78a, b into the secondary pressure generator unit 14 and there to the pressure side of the piston pumps 86a, b.
- the second motor 88 of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14, which drives the piston pumps 86a, b, is now also activated, which must therefore start against the pressure of the primary pressure generator assembly 12.
- the motor start-up is detected by analyzing the control signal of the motor 88 in the electronic control unit 38b.
- a pulse-width-modulated signal is used as the control signal.
- the pulse width i.e. the distance between the start of two voltage peaks, determines the motor speed, and above it the delivery rate of the pressure generator, the delivery rate integrated over time results in the total volume of pressure medium delivered and ultimately the brake pressure that potentially sets in the brake circuits 64a, b.
- the brake pressure acting on the piston pumps 86a, b counteracts the rotary movement of the motor 88 and brakes this rotary movement.
- the motor 88 induces a voltage signal that can be detected electronically and evaluated in the electronic control device 38b, for example by an ASIC provided specifically for this purpose. By comparing the induced voltage with a known voltage signal that is to be expected with a corresponding braking torque, faulty motors 88 are identified and the driver is warned if necessary.
- the second motor 88 of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 can be validated via the second pressure sensor 74 assigned to the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12.
- the circuit separation valves 78a, b also remain in their basic or open position in the primary pressure generator unit 12 and the pressure build-up valves 80a-d are closed by electronic control.
- the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator unit 12 is activated, a freely selectable brake pressure is regulated in the brake circuits 64a, b, the signal from the second pressure sensor 74 assigned to the plunger unit 52 being used as a control variable for brake pressure regulation.
- the high-pressure switching valves 90a, b in the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 are now switched to the open position and the piston pumps 86a, b are actuated. Furthermore, the switchover valves 92a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 are activated by the electronic control unit 38b. Their control signal brings the switchover valves 92a, b into a throttle position in which the pressure difference dropping at the switchover valves 92a, b is higher than the brake pressure generated by the plunger unit 52.
- the existing pressure difference causes a displacement of the plunger 54 of the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 in the pressure reduction direction.
- This backward movement of the plunger 54 can be recorded quantitatively.
- the path covered by the plunger piston 54 is determined from the angle of rotation signal and, via the known geometric dimensions of the plunger piston 54, an actual value for the pressure medium volume conveyed by the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 in the direction of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 is determined. This actual value is compared with a target value for the pressure medium volume conveyed.
- This setpoint can be calculated from the differential pressure set by the secondary pressure generator unit 14, the known geometric data of the piston pumps 86a, b and the electrical control signal to the second motor 88 driving the piston pumps 86a, b.
- An incorrectly closed high-pressure switching valve 90a, b in the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 can be recognized by the fact that the piston pump 86a, b in the brake circuit 64a, b of the faulty high-pressure switching valve 90a, b is unable to build up brake pressure.
- the brake circuit 64a, b in which there is an incorrectly closed high-pressure switching valve 90a, b can be determined.
- a malfunction is present if no hydraulic pressure medium is conveyed from the piston pumps 86a, b of the secondary pressure generator assembly 14 to the plunger unit 52 of the primary pressure generator assembly 12 through the brake circuit 64a, b with the open plunger control valve 76a, b.
- the latter is expressed in the absence of an actuation path of the plunger piston 54 of the plunger unit 52 in the pressure reduction direction and can be detected by electronic evaluation of the signal profile of the rotation angle sensor 72.
- a warning signal is sent to the driver.
- This can request the driver, for example, to have the external power brake system 10 of his vehicle checked in a specialist workshop and, if necessary, repaired.
- the readiness for use of a secondary pressure generator assembly 14, in particular in autonomous motor vehicles, can thus be reliably checked and guaranteed over the service life of the external power brake system. Situations in which none of the pressure generating units 12, 14 of the external power brake system 10 explained is able to build up a brake pressure can thus be reliably avoided.
