For the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the objects, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, the present disclosure provides a method for controlling a steering system of an automobile, including the steps of:

and S101, dividing driving intervals according to the vehicle speed according to the dynamic characteristics of vehicle steering, wherein the driving intervals comprise a parking area, a low-speed area and a medium-high speed area.

In particular, the response to the dynamics of the steering motion is different when the vehicle is at different speeds. Under the condition of high vehicle speed, the dynamic response of the automobile is obvious, the slip angle of the wheels is large, and the lateral acceleration value is also large. When the vehicle speed becomes relatively low, the motion is according to the ackermann geometry. When the vehicle speed becomes extremely low, static friction between the ground and the tires is involved, and dynamic response is hardly involved. Therefore, the driving section may be divided according to the vehicle speed according to the driving dynamics of the vehicle, and in the present embodiment, the driving section is divided into a parking area, a low speed area, and a medium and high speed area.

And S102, determining the boundary speed of the driving section according to the motion states of the automobile at different speeds.

Specifically, the motion state of the automobile is different under different automobile speeds, when the automobile speed is very low, relative sliding does not occur between the tire and the ground, the automobile is in a static friction state, almost no speed exists at the wheel center, the tire body is mainly subjected to elastic deformation, only when the automobile speed reaches the boundary automobile speed, the bonding state between the ground and the tire is broken, the relative sliding is generated, the static friction at the beginning is changed into dynamic friction, and the automobile speed critical point generating the motion change is set as the boundary automobile speed at the beginning of a low-speed area. The vehicle speed is further increased, the dynamics of the vehicle is still not obvious correspondingly before reaching the critical value of the medium and high vehicle speeds, the motion of the vehicle conforms to Ackermann geometry, the critical value is set as the boundary vehicle speed of the low-speed area and the medium and high-speed area, and the dynamics of the vehicle is obvious correspondingly after the vehicle speed exceeds the critical vehicle speed. Boundary vehicle speed that will generally be the beginning of low speed zoneV _b-dThe speed of the boundary between the low-speed area and the middle-high speed area is set to be about 5km/h through experimental verificationV _d-zIs 20 km/h.

And S103, determining a steering system control strategy in the driving interval based on the boundary vehicle speed and the vehicle steering parameters. After the boundary vehicle speed is determined, a steering strategy can be set according to the steering parameters when the vehicle is steered. Due to the different vehicle speeds, the corresponding relationship between the motion state of the vehicle and each steering parameter is also different. In order to provide consistent driving feeling for a driver, corresponding steering parameter corresponding relations are designed for different motion states of a vehicle in different driving intervals, and the driving feeling consistency in the whole driving process is determined by adjusting the steering parameters.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the dividing driving intervals according to the vehicle speed according to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle steering includes: based on the change of the dynamic response value of the automobile from small to large at different speeds, the driving interval is divided into a parking area, a low-speed area and a medium-high speed area.

In this embodiment, the driving area is divided into three parts, namely a parking area, a low speed area and a medium and high speed area, corresponding to different vehicle speeds of the vehicle. The driving interval is divided according to the vehicle speed, when the vehicle speed is very low, the static friction state is kept between the tire and the ground, the response of the operation dynamics is hardly involved, the vehicle dynamics response value is zero, and the driving interval is defined as a parking area, and the vehicle dynamics response value is zero. When the vehicle speed is lower and within a certain range along with the increase of the vehicle speed, the vehicle dynamics response value is known to be smaller than a preset boundary vehicle speed threshold value through vehicle dynamics tests, the vehicle speed range is defined as a low-speed area, the vehicle speed is continuously increased, the vehicle dynamics response value exceeds the boundary vehicle speed threshold value, and the vehicle speed range is defined as a medium-high speed area. The boundary vehicle speed threshold value can be set according to the actual condition and the requirement of the vehicle, and is not limited by a specific numerical value.

In some embodiments, the determining the boundary vehicle speed of the driving section according to the motion state of the automobile at different vehicle speeds, wherein the boundary vehicle speed comprises a first boundary vehicle speed and a second boundary vehicle speed, comprises: based on the change of the motion state of the automobile in different driving regions, the boundary speed between the parking region and the low-speed region is a first boundary speed, and the boundary speed between the low-speed region and the medium-high speed region is a second boundary speed. Setting a boundary vehicle speed between a parking area and the low speed areaV _b-dIs firstBoundary vehicle speed, boundary vehicle speed of low speed region and middle-high speed regionV _d-zIs the second boundary vehicle speed.

In some embodiments, when the boundary vehicle speed includes a first boundary vehicle speed, the first boundary vehicle speed refers to a boundary vehicle speed between the parking area and the low speed area, and the driving area is a parking area, the determining a steering strategy in the driving area based on the boundary vehicle speed and the vehicle steering parameter includes: when the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the first boundary vehicle speed, determining a steering system control strategy based on the steering wheel angle and the steering wheel torque, specifically,

in response to the steering wheel torque being less than a first threshold, determining that a steering wheel angle is in a first linear relationship with the steering wheel torque, the steering wheel angle being directly proportional to the steering wheel torque;

determining that the steering wheel angle value is constant in response to the steering wheel torque being greater than or equal to a first threshold value and less than a second threshold value;

in response to the steering wheel torque being greater than the second threshold, a second linear relationship is determined between the steering wheel angle and the steering wheel torque, the steering wheel angle being directly proportional to the steering wheel torque.

Specifically, when the automobile is in a parking area, the automobile speed is very small, the tire and the ground do not slip, a static friction state is maintained between the tire and the ground, and the response of the operation dynamics is hardly involved, so that the first boundary automobile speed is used in the whole parking areaV _b-dTo represent the entire parking area, the vehicle speed is the first boundary vehicle speed when designingV _b-dThe time-steering strategy is consistent with the time at zero vehicle speed. Because the speed of the vehicle is almost zero in the parking area, the driver can only feel the rotating torque when the steering wheel is rotated, namely the torque of the steering wheel, and only the relation between the rotating angle of the steering wheel and the torque of the steering wheel needs to be set in the parking area. The final steering strategy is set as shown in fig. 3, in which the dotted line represents the corresponding relationship between the steering wheel torque and the steering wheel angle, and in order to prevent the torque from generating a sudden change phenomenon with the change of the steering angle, the dotted line in the figure is smoothed to obtain a solid curve. The curve in the figure represents the relationship between the steering wheel torque and the steering wheel angle when the steering wheel torque is smaller thanWhen the steering wheel torque is larger than or equal to the first threshold value and smaller than the second threshold value, the numerical value of the steering wheel angle is kept constant, when the steering wheel torque is larger than the second threshold value, the steering wheel angle and the steering wheel torque are in a second linear relation, and the steering wheel angle is increased along with the increase of the steering wheel torque. In this embodiment, the first threshold value is set to-2N · m, and the second threshold value is set to 2N · m. In other embodiments, the setting of the first threshold and the second threshold may be adjusted according to specific vehicle conditions, and is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, when the boundary vehicle speed includes a first boundary vehicle speed and a second boundary vehicle speed, the first boundary vehicle speed refers to a boundary vehicle speed between the parking area and the low speed area, the second boundary vehicle speed refers to a boundary vehicle speed between the low speed area and the medium and high speed area, and the driving area is a low speed area, the determining a steering system control strategy in the driving area based on the boundary vehicle speed and the vehicle steering parameter includes:

when the vehicle speed is greater than the first boundary vehicle speed and less than the second boundary vehicle speed, if the vehicle speed is constant, the lateral acceleration is in direct proportion to the steering wheel torque.

Specifically, in the low speed region, the dynamic response of the vehicle is still not significant, and the vehicle speed increases to the second boundary vehicle speedV _d-zWhen the turning radius determined by the ackermann geometry and the turning radius determined by the dynamics are considered equal, i.e. the vehicle speed is considered equal at the first demarcation pointV _b-dSpeed of vehicle at second boundaryV _d-zThe motion of the vehicle conforms to Ackerman geometry, and the steering wheel angle of the automobileIn inverse proportion to the magnitude of the turning radius R, i.e.

In some embodiments, when the boundary vehicle speed includes a second boundary vehicle speed, the second boundary vehicle speed refers to a boundary vehicle speed between the low speed zone and the medium-high speed zone, and the driving zone is a medium-high speed zone, the determining a steering system control strategy in the driving zone based on the boundary vehicle speed and the vehicle steering parameter includes:

the steering wheel torque and the lateral acceleration are in a fourth linear relationship in response to determining that the absolute value of the steering wheel torque is greater than the third threshold, the product of the absolute value of the steering wheel torque and the predetermined coefficient being directly proportional to the lateral acceleration.

In particular, the steering dynamics response of the vehicle is relatively pronounced when the vehicle is in the medium to high speed range, the steering wheel torque being such as to provide the driver with a consistent driving feelAnd lateral accelerationA linear relationship should be maintained between them. In addition, when the vehicle is in a middle-high speed region, the steering wheel moment of a steering central regionLess than 1N · m, the driver's feeling of his steering wheel torque being not clearObviously, the steering system has partial self-aligning capability and can be repaired in time.

Based on the same inventive concept, corresponding to any of the above-described embodiment methods, the present disclosure also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing the computer to execute an automobile steering system control method according to any of the above-described embodiments.

Computer-readable media of the present embodiments, including both non-transitory and non-transitory, removable and non-removable media, may implement information storage by any method or technology. The information may be computer readable instructions, data structures, modules of a program, or other data. Examples of computer storage media include, but are not limited to, phase change memory (PRAM), Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), other types of Random Access Memory (RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), flash memory or other memory technology, compact disc read only memory (CD-ROM), Digital Versatile Discs (DVD) or other optical storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transmission medium that can be used to store information that can be accessed by a computing device.

The computer instructions stored in the storage medium of the foregoing embodiment are used to enable the computer to execute a method for controlling a steering system of an automobile as described in any of the foregoing embodiments, and have the beneficial effects of corresponding method embodiments, which are not described herein again.

Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that: the discussion of any embodiment above is meant to be exemplary only, and is not intended to intimate that the scope of the disclosure, including the claims, is limited to these examples; within the idea of the present disclosure, also technical features in the above embodiments or in different embodiments may be combined, steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the embodiments of the present disclosure as described above, which are not provided in detail for the sake of brevity.

In addition, well-known power/ground connections to Integrated Circuit (IC) chips and other components may or may not be shown in the provided figures for simplicity of illustration and discussion, and so as not to obscure the embodiments of the disclosure. Furthermore, devices may be shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present disclosure, and this also takes into account the fact that specifics with respect to implementation of such block diagram devices are highly dependent upon the platform within which the embodiments of the present disclosure are to be implemented (i.e., specifics should be well within purview of one skilled in the art). Where specific details (e.g., circuits) are set forth in order to describe example embodiments of the disclosure, it should be apparent to one skilled in the art that the embodiments of the disclosure can be practiced without, or with variation of, these specific details. Accordingly, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive.

While the present disclosure has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, many alternatives, modifications, and variations of these embodiments will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the foregoing description. For example, other memory architectures (e.g., dynamic ram (dram)) may use the discussed embodiments.

The disclosed embodiments are intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalents, improvements, and the like that may be made within the spirit and principles of the embodiments of the disclosure are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
