Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for braking a vehicle, in particular a vehicle powered by at least one electric machine.
- the invention also relates to a brake control system for a vehicle.
- Road vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles or the like, are increasingly being driven using electric machines.
- a rotor shaft of the electric machine is coupled to a drive train, which may include one or more wheel shafts, either directly or via a gearbox.
- the electric machine is usually operated as a motor for accelerating the vehicle and as a generator for braking the vehicle in order to convert at least part of the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electrical energy.
- the drive train has poor inherent mechanical damping properties.
- drive vibrations can occur. This is due to the fact that the electric machine can change a torque to be transmitted and the rotor speed very quickly, while the wheel shafts connected to the wheels have a different dynamic behavior due to the mechanical inertia of the vehicle. Consequently, there may be periodic twisting of the wheel shafts come opposite the rotor shaft.
- damping controls are used, which can react to the difference between the angular speeds of the wheels and the rotor shaft of the electrical machine with a damping torque.
- DE 10 2005 033 354 A1 describes a device and a method for actively damping vibrations in a drive train of a motor vehicle, which has a traction motor for driving drive wheels of the vehicle and an anti-lock braking system (ABS).
- a traction motor controller controls a torque output of the motor to effectively dampen driveline oscillations during ABS actuation.
- the control method can be performed at any time during operation of a vehicle, preferably during an ABS braking event.
- a method for braking a vehicle with the features of claim 1 and a brake control system for a vehicle with the features of claim 7 are provided.
- a method for braking a vehicle is provided using at least one electric machine of the vehicle operated as a generator, with a torque generated by the electric machine being controlled by a damping control function in order to periodically deflect a rotor shaft of the electric machine coupled drive train relative to the rotor shaft, the method having the following steps: detecting a desired braking signal representing a setpoint braking torque; Detect a deactivation condition to deactivate the damping control function based on the braking request signal; disabling the damping control function when a disable condition is detected; Generating a braking torque based on the braking request signal by operating the electric machine as a generator; detecting a reactivation condition for reactivating the damping control function during the generation of the braking torque; and reactivating the damping control function when the reactivation condition is detected.
- a brake control system for a vehicle which has at least one electric machine and at least one drive train kinematically coupled to a rotor shaft of the electric machine.
- the brake control system includes an input interface for receiving a brake request signal representing a setpoint braking torque and for receiving angular velocities of the rotor shaft and a wheel of the vehicle, an output interface which is designed for connection to power electronics of the electric machine, and a controller which is designed for this purpose : to calculate a vibration signal based on the angular velocities of the rotor shaft and the wheel, which represents a deflection of the drive train relative to the rotor shaft, to carry out a damping control function based on the vibration signal and to output a first machine control signal at the output interface in order to cause the power electronics to To operate electrical machine (s) in such a way that a periodic deflection of the wheel shafts is reduced relative to the rotor shaft, based on the brake request signal a deactivation
- a braking request signal which represents a desired deceleration of the vehicle and thus a setpoint braking torque, is used to identify whether a deactivation condition exists in which the damping control function should be deactivated. For example, if there are braking request signals that represent a setpoint braking torque in a predetermined range, the damping control function can be deactivated immediately when the braking torque is generated.
- the damping control function is reactivated again later, for example after a predetermined time lapse after the start of generation of the braking torque, for example after 120-250 ms, or if an alternative or further reactivation condition is present.
- the braking torque is generated at least partially by operating at least one electric machine of the vehicle, whose rotor shaft is coupled to a drive train, as a generator.
- the drive train has, for example, at least one wheel shaft which is kinematically coupled to the rotor shaft of the electric machine, e.g. via a gearbox, and which is also connected to a wheel of the vehicle, e.g. non-rotatably connected.
- the control system according to the invention is set up to cause a braking system, which comprises at least the drive train and the electric machine, to carry out a method according to the first aspect of the invention.
- the vibration signal can, for example, by a difference between a first angular velocity signal, which represents an angular velocity of the rotor of the electrical machine and by means of a rotor speed sensor, optionally with subsequent Signal processing can be detected, and a second angular velocity signal can be formed, which represents an angular velocity of the wheel or the wheel shaft and can be detected by means of a wheel speed sensor, optionally with subsequent signal processing.
- the vibration signal can be calculated by the controller.
- An advantage of the invention is that the temporary deactivation of the damping control function during the generation of a braking torque means that the braking torque generated by the electric machine is not reduced by compensation torques that would be superimposed on the braking torque as a result of the damping control function to compensate for vibrations in the drive train. As a result, the braking distance of the vehicle can advantageously be reduced.
- Another advantage of the invention is that particularly during an initial phase of the braking process, e.g. within the first 120-250 ms after triggering the generation of the braking torque, the need for a damping effect of the damping control function in relation to the vibrations in the drive train with the aim of component protection is surprisingly low.
- the damping control function can thus advantageously be deactivated when the braking torque begins to be generated in order to shorten the braking distance without further increasing the risk of drive vibrations and the associated impermissibly high loads on the driven shafts.
- the deactivation condition is recognized when the setpoint braking torque represented by the brake request signal exceeds a braking torque threshold value. This can be the case, for example, in the event of emergency braking. In cases where rapid deceleration of the vehicle is desired, disabling the damping control function is particularly beneficial as it efficiently reduces stopping distances. According to some specific embodiments, provision can be made for the reactivation condition to be recognized when a wheel speed of at least one wheel of the drive train falls below a speed threshold value. This reactivation condition can be used as an alternative or in addition to a time lapse since the start of the generation of the braking torque.
- the reactivation condition can be present if both the wheel speed falls below the speed threshold value and the predetermined time is exceeded.
- the wheel speed is an advantageous reactivation condition, since the vibrations in the drive train depend to a considerable extent on the change in the wheel speed over time.
- the braking torque is additionally generated by a friction brake system, which has an anti-lock function to prevent permanent locking of at least one wheel of the vehicle, and the reactivation condition is recognized when the anti-lock function of the friction brake system is activated.
- the friction brake system can have a hydraulically actuated wheel brake cylinder, which interacts with a friction lining of the wheel, and a pressure generating device, e.g. a plunger or a pump, in order to generate a hydraulic brake pressure for actuating the wheel brake cylinder.
- a control unit can be provided which oscillates the hydraulic brake pressure, e.g.
- ABS anti-lock braking
- the brake request signal is generated based on a sensor signal output by a sensor.
- the sensor signal is generated by an environment sensor, which acquires environment data, in particular distance data, from the environment of the vehicle, or generated by a pedal sensor which detects an operation of a brake pedal by a driver of the vehicle.
- a distance sensor can be provided, such as a radar sensor, which outputs a distance signal that represents a distance from an obstacle. If, for example, a change in the distance signal over time exceeds a threshold value, a brake request signal can be generated as a function of the change in the distance signal over time, for example using a control unit.
- a pedal sensor can be formed, for example, by a travel sensor that detects an actuation travel of the pedal, or by a pressure sensor that detects a pressure generated by the pedal in a brake pressure simulator. The detected pressure or the detected travel corresponds to the braking request.
- the controller has a first control unit with a first input for receiving the brake request signal and a first output, the first control unit being set up to generate a brake control signal based on the brake request signal and at the first output to output and to recognize the deactivation condition and the reactivation condition and to output a corresponding activation signal at the first output.
- the controller can have a second control unit with a second input, which is connected to the first output of the first control unit and is designed to receive the brake control signal and the vibration signal or the angular velocities of the wheel and the rotor shaft for determining the vibration signal, and a second output for connection with the power electronics, wherein the second control device is set up to generate the first and the second machine control signal based on the brake control signal, the activation signal and the vibration signal.
- the first input of the first control unit and the second input of the second control unit thus form the input interface of the brake control system.
- the second output forms the output interface of the brake control system.
- the oscillation signal can be determined, for example, as the difference between the input variables of the rotor speed or angular speed and the wheel speed or angular speed will.
- the second control unit can, for example, receive from the first control unit the wheel angular velocity, which the first control unit receives at its first input, and the rotor angular velocity directly from a rotor speed sensor. In this case, the second control unit can determine the vibration signal itself.
- the first control unit can receive both the rotor speed and the wheel speed at the first input and either forward this to the second input of the second control unit or determine the oscillation signal itself and output it to the second control unit at the first output.
- the first output of the first control unit is additionally configured for connection to a friction brake system of the vehicle, and the first control unit is configured to output a friction brake signal for actuating the friction brake system at the first output based on the brake request signal.
- the first input is designed to be connected to a wheel speed sensor, which detects a speed of the wheel shaft or the wheel, and is thus designed to receive a speed signal.

- vehicle 200 e.g., a road vehicle such as a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle.
- vehicle 200 includes an electric machine 210 that can be operated as a motor and generator, an electric energy source or energy storage device 250, which is electrically connected to electric machine 210 via power electronics 212, a kinematic connection to the electric machine 210 coupled drive train 220 with one or more wheels 222, 224, a brake control system 100 and an optional friction brake system 230.
- a sensor system with various sensors 213, 226, 227, 242, 244 can be provided.
- the electrical machine 210 can be a three-phase machine, for example, in particular a synchronous or an asynchronous machine.
- the electrical machine 210 has a stator (not shown) and a rotor which is rotatably mounted relative to the stator and has a rotor shaft 211 .
- the drive train 220 can have a gear 225, for example, which is coupled to the rotor shaft 211 at a rotor-side interface and to at least one side shaft or wheel shaft 221, 223 at a wheel-side interface.
- a wheel 222, 224 is coupled to the respective wheel shaft 221, 223, especially non-rotatable.
- 1 shows purely by way of example that two wheel shafts 221, 223, each with a wheel 222, 224, are connected to the transmission 225.
- the wheel shaft 221, 223 is coupled directly to the rotor shaft 211 of the electric machine 210.
- more than one electric machine is provided for each drive axle.

- the power electronics 212 are electrically connected to the electrical energy storage device 250 and to the electrical machine 210 .
- the electrical machine 210 draws electrical energy from the energy storage device 250, which it makes available, for example, in the form of a DC voltage.
- This DC voltage is converted into an AC voltage by the power electronics 212 and the rotor is driven, so that a torque is delivered to the rotor shaft 211, which causes the wheels 222, 224 to rotate through the drive train 220.
- the electric machine 210 is operated as a generator, the electric machine 210 takes up a torque from the drive train 220 on the rotor shaft 211 and thus applies a braking torque to the wheels 222, 224.
- the kinetic energy thus absorbed is converted into electrical energy by the electrical machine 210 , output as AC voltage, which the power electronics 212 converts into a DC voltage, and fed into the energy storage device 250 .
- the optional friction brake system 230 is shown only schematically in FIG. 1 and can include, for example, a wheel brake cylinder 232, 234 for each wheel 222, 224 and a hydraulic brake pressure generator 231 that is hydraulically connected to the wheel brake cylinders 232, 234.
- the wheel brake cylinders 232, 234 are designed to, as a result of a hydraulic brake pressure generated by the brake pressure generator 231, a frictional force on a fixed to the respective wheel 222, 224 connected friction lining to thereby apply a braking torque to the respective wheel 222, 224.
- the friction brake system 230 can preferably be set up to generate an oscillating braking torque in order to prevent the respective wheel 222, 224 from locking permanently. This is known as the anti-lock braking function, ABS function for short.
- the brake control system 100 shown schematically and purely as an example in FIG. 1 comprises a first control unit 1 with a first input 11 and a first output 12 and a second control unit 2 with a second input 21 and a second output 22.

- the input interface is formed by the inputs 11, 21 of the control units 1, 2, purely by way of example.
- the output interface can be formed by the outputs 12, 22 of the control units 1, 2, for example.
- the first and the second control unit 1, 2 can each have in particular a processor, for example a CPU, an FPGA, an ASIC or the like, and a data memory which can be read by the processor, in particular a non-volatile memory such as an HDD memory, an SSD memory or the like.
- Software can be stored in the data memory, which causes the processor to generate and output an output signal, for example at the respective output 12, based on an input signal which the respective control unit 1, 2 can receive, for example at the respective input 11, 21. 22.

Furthermore, first input 11 of first control unit 1 can be connected to a pedal sensor 242, which is set up to detect an actuation path of a brake pedal 240 and to output a corresponding actuation signal, and/or to a distance sensor 244, which is set up to measure a distance to detect an obstacle relative to the vehicle 200 and to output a corresponding distance signal.
- the first output 12 of the first control unit 1 can be connected, for example, to the second input 21 of the second control unit 2 and optionally to the optional friction brake system 230 , in particular to the pressure generator 231 .
- the second input 21 of the second control unit 2 can be connected to a rotor speed sensor 213, which is designed to detect a speed or angular velocity of the rotor or the rotor shaft 213 of the electric machine 210 and output a corresponding rotor speed signal.
- the second output 22 of the second control device 2 can be connected to the power electronics 212, in particular to the control input 215, as is likewise shown in FIG. 1 by way of example.
- first control device 1 receives the brake request signal at first input 11. Alternatively or additionally, first control device 1 can use the distance signal detected by distance sensor 244 to determine a brake request signal or interpret the distance signal as a brake request signal, e.g. when a change in the distance signal over time exceeds a limit value , for example because the vehicle is approaching an obstacle. general received the brake control system 100 at its input interface 11, 21 a braking request signal.
- the first control unit 1 is set up to generate a brake control signal based on the brake request signal and to output it at the first output 11 .
- the brake control signal is thus output to the input 21 of the second control unit 2, with the second control unit 2 being set up to generate a machine control signal based on the brake control signal and to output it to the power electronics 215 via the second output 22, the machine control signal requiring the power electronics 215 to do so caused to operate the electric machine 210 as a generator and thus to generate a braking torque based on the brake request signal.
- the first control unit 1 can also output a friction brake signal generated based on the brake request signal to the optional friction brake system 230 via the first output 11 in order to actuate it based on the brake control signal.
- drive train 220 During operation of electric machine 210 as a generator or as a motor, there may be a periodic deflection of drive train 220, in particular wheel shaft 221, 223, relative to rotor shaft 211 when the load changes or when there are changes in the speed of rotation of rotor shaft 211. This is also referred to below as drive vibration.
- the controller 1, 2 of the brake control system 1 is set up to carry out a damping control function based on a vibration signal and to provide a first machine control signal at the output interface 12, 22 in order to cause the power electronics 212 to operate the electric machine 210 in such a way that the periodic Deflection of the drive train 220 relative to the rotor shaft 211 is reduced.
- the oscillation signal can be formed, for example, by a differential signal which results from the difference between the rotor speed signal from rotor speed sensor 213 and the wheel speed signal from wheel speed sensors 226, 227. A difference in the angular speeds of the rotor or rotor shaft 211 and the wheel shaft 223, 221 is thus formed.
- the first control unit 2 can be set up to To determine the vibration signal based on the rotor speed signal or the angular velocity signal of the rotor and the wheel speed signal or the angular velocity of the wheel, which the first control unit 1 can output at the first output 12 to the second input 21 .
- brake control system 100 thus has an input interface for receiving a braking request signal representing a setpoint braking torque and for receiving angular velocities of rotor shaft 211 and a wheel 222, 224 of the vehicle, and an output interface which is used for connection to power electronics 215 and optionally to the friction brake system 230 is formed
- FIG. 2 schematically shows the sequence of a method M for braking vehicle 200, which can be carried out using brake control system 100, for example.
- Method M is explained below by way of example with reference to vehicle 200 described above.
- Method M assumes that a torque generated by electric machine 210 is controlled by a damping control function in order to reduce a periodic deflection of drive train 220 relative to rotor shaft 211 .
- a desired braking signal representing a setpoint braking torque is detected.
- the brake request signal can be generated based on a sensor signal output by a sensor, e.g. in that distance sensor 244 or another environmental sensor generates a corresponding signal and/or in that pedal sensor 242 detects an actuation of a brake pedal by a driver of vehicle 200 is detected.
- the braking request signal is received at the input interface of brake control system 100, e.g. at first input 11 of first control unit 1.
- a deactivation condition for deactivating the damping control function is detected on the basis of the brake request signal.
- the deactivation condition can be recognized, for example, if the Braking request signal represented setpoint braking torque exceeds a braking torque threshold value, for example in the case of emergency braking. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that only the detection of a brake request signal is recognized as a deactivation condition.
- the determination of the presence of the activation condition can be done, for example, by means of the first control unit 1, which, for example, compares the setpoint braking torque represented by the brake request signal with a braking torque threshold value.
- step M2 can also be carried out by the second control unit 2 or another control unit and thus generally by the control of the brake control system 100.
- step M4 a braking torque is generated based on the brake request signal by operating electric machine 210 as a generator.
- second control unit 2 can carry out the damping control function and correspondingly send a first machine control signal at second output 12 to the power electronics Output 215 to cause the power electronics 212 to operate the electric machine 210 such that the drive vibrations are reduced.
- the braking torque can optionally also be partially generated by the friction brake system 230.
- step M3 the damping control function is deactivated in step M3. This can be done, for example, by first control unit 1 outputting a corresponding activation signal at first output 11, thereby deactivating the damping control function of second control unit 2 and generating a second machine control signal as a result of the activation signal received at its second input 21.
- a braking torque is generated M4 based on the braking request signal by operating electrical machine 210 as a generator. If the deactivation condition has been detected, in step M4 the electric machine 210 is operated based on the second machine control signal, ie without intervention of the damping control function.
- the braking torque is not superimposed by compensation torques, in particular not reduced, which leads to a shortening of the braking distance.
- Step M5 is carried out during step M4, in which step M5 a reactivation condition for reactivation of the damping control function is detected.
- the reactivation condition can be recognized, for example, if a predetermined reactivation time threshold, which can be, for example, in a range between 120 and 250 ms, has been reached since the start of generation of the braking request signal or the braking torque.
- the reactivation condition can be recognized when a wheel speed of at least one wheel 222, 224 falls below a speed threshold value.
- the reactivation condition can optionally also be detected when the antilock braking function of the friction brake system 230 is activated.
- the reactivation condition can be detected, for example, using the first control unit 1, for example using the wheel speed signals and/or using a timer.
- the ABS function of the friction brake system 230 can optionally be activated by the first control unit 1, e.g. by this emitting an ABS signal or an oscillating friction brake signal to the friction brake system. If the reactivation condition is not recognized, as represented by the symbol in FIG. 2 , the second control device 2 continues to generate the second machine control signal and the electric machine 210 correspondingly generates a non-damping-controlled braking torque.
- step M5 If the presence of the reactivation condition is recognized in step M5, as shown in FIG. 2 by the symbol "+”, the damping control function is activated again in step M6.
- the first control unit 1 at the first output 12 a corresponding activation signal output the second input 21 of the second control unit 2, which then reactivates the damping control function and again generates the first machine control signal.
- the damping control function of the controller is deactivated when a deactivation condition is present, e.g. at the beginning of a braking process, and a braking torque that is not superimposed by vibration compensation torques is generated by means of electric machine 210. If a reactivation condition is present, the damping control function is activated again and the braking torque generated by the electric machine 210 is correspondingly overlaid with vibration compensation torques.
- a line II shows a threshold torque for activating the ABS function
- a line 12 the regenerative braking torque generated by the electric machine 210
- a line 13 the braking torque generated by the friction brake system 230
- line 14 a vibration compensation torque generated as a result of the damping control function.
- Line 150 shows the resulting braking torque, which results from the sum of the friction braking torque (line 14) and the regenerative braking torque (line 13).
- Fig. 3 it is shown that from time tl a braking request signal is detected (step Ml) and a deactivation condition is immediately recognized (step M2), so that the damping control function is deactivated (step M3) and the braking torque is generated without damping control function (step M4) .
- the resulting braking torque represented by line 150 thus results.
- a reactivation condition is detected (Step M5) and the damping control function is activated again (Step M6), so that regenerative braking torque is reduced accordingly.
- FIG. 3 shows that the ABS function of the friction brake system 230 is activated at time t2.
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram in which the time is plotted on the abscissa X4 and a difference in the rotational speeds of the rotor shaft 210 and the wheel shaft 221, 223 is plotted on the ordinate.
- a first line 140 shows the case in which the damping control function is deactivated at the start of braking at time t1 and activated again at time t2. This corresponds to the method M described above and the course 150 shown in FIG. 3.
- a line 141 is drawn in the diagram shown in FIG.
