S3And judging the braking state of the truck
S3-1And the data acquisition mechanism acquires the angular displacement information of the pedal and the stress information of the pedal in real time and transmits the information to the control mechanism.
S3-2And comparing the pedal angular displacement information with the pedal angular displacement limit and comparing the pedal stress information with the pedal stress limit value.
S3-3And when the pedal angular displacement information is smaller than the pedal angular displacement limit or the pedal stress information is smaller than the pedal stress limit, the control mechanism judges that the truck is in a normal braking state and does not select a braking control strategy.
And when the pedal angular displacement information is not less than the pedal angular displacement limit and the pedal stress information is not less than the pedal stress limit value, the control mechanism judges that the truck is in an emergency braking state.
In brief, the purpose of this step is that in the process of driving a truck, after a driver encounters an emergency, the driver quickly steps on a brake pedal, the pedal force sensor senses the force on the pedal and transmits a signal to the central processing unit, the pedal stroke sensor or the pedal displacement sensor senses the angular displacement of the pedal and transmits the signal to the central processing unit, the central processing unit processes the relevant signal of the brake pedal and judges whether the braking state of the truck is an emergency braking state or a normal braking state, and if the braking state is the normal braking state, the truck can drive normally; and if the vehicle is in the emergency braking state, corresponding control strategies need to be started correspondingly.
S4Emergency brake control strategy
S4-1The control mechanism calls the corresponding load according to the determined load gradeThe set maximum braking distance and the maximum braking speed.
S4-2The data acquisition mechanism acquires the braking distance information and the running speed information in real time, the two kinds of information are numerical value information and are respectively conveyed to the control mechanism, and the control mechanism forms the following judgment according to the comparison between the braking distance information and the maximum braking distance:
when the braking distance information is smaller than the maximum braking distance, the control mechanism judges that the truck enters an emergency braking state, and the control mechanism generates an emergency braking state control signal to control the execution mechanism to execute S5And (4) strategy of the step.
When the braking distance information is larger than or equal to the maximum braking distance, the control mechanism judges that the truck has the sign of out-of-control, and the S step is started4-3And (5) carrying out the following steps.
S4-3And the control mechanism compares the running speed information with the maximum braking speed, wherein the running speed information is numerical value information.
When the running speed information is less than the maximum braking speed, the control mechanism judges that the truck enters a semi-out-of-control state, generates a semi-out-of-control state control signal and controls the execution mechanism to execute S6And (4) strategy of the step.
When the running speed information is not less than the maximum braking speed, the control mechanism judges that the truck enters a complete out-of-control state, the control mechanism generates a complete control state control signal and controls the execution mechanism to execute S6~S7And (4) strategy of the step.
The implementation of this step is exemplified below, and it should be noted that the load level is specifically set according to specific situations, in this case, the load level and S in this example are specifically set2Are shown without correlation. If a truck with the full load mass of 20t senses that the cargo in the carriage does not reach the load of 30 percent (namely 6t), the maximum braking distance is 10 meters, and the maximum braking speed is 5 km/h.
When the braking distance sensor senses that the braking distance is equal to the limit value of 10 meters, the truck is still in the braking state and is not completely stopped, and the truck can be judged to be in a semi-out-of-control state at the moment; if the braking distance of 10 meters is not reached, the truck is stopped, and the truck is in an emergency braking state.
And when the truck reaches the maximum braking distance and is judged to be in a semi-out-of-control state, the central processing unit analyzes the speed signal transmitted by the whole vehicle controller. If the detected speed is less than 5km/h, the truck is in a semi-out-of-control state but not completely out-of-control state; if the detected speed is more than or equal to 5km/h, the truck is in a complete out-of-control state.
S5Airbag control strategy
The control mechanism transmits an emergency braking state control signal to the vehicle control unit, and the vehicle control unit starts the safety air bag through the safety air bag actuator after receiving the signal, so that the protection of a driver is realized.
When the truck is in an emergency braking state, the braking distance sensor senses the braking distance and transmits a signal to the central processing unit in real time, and the central processing unit calls a corresponding braking distance limit value according to the load grade of the truck and judges whether the braking distance of the truck exceeds the braking distance limit value in real time. If the vehicle is still in the braking state and is not stopped after the limit value is reached, the braking distance is still increased, and the vehicle is in a semi-runaway state when the vehicle is in an emergency. The central processing unit transmits a signal to the vehicle control unit to control the safety air bag actuator of the vehicle to work, and the safety air bag in the cab is opened; if the vehicle is stopped when the braking distance limit value is not exceeded, the vehicle is indicated to be in an emergency braking state, no accident occurs, and the central processing unit cannot transmit a signal to the vehicle control unit.
S6Control strategy for preparing for bounce
The control mechanism controls the bounce air bag to inflate through the bounce air bag actuator, so that the air pressure in the bounce air bag reaches a cab bounce critical value.
The speed sensor transmits signals to the vehicle control unit in real time, and the vehicle control unit transmits speed signals to the central processing unit in real time. And the central processing unit calls the corresponding maximum speed value according to the load grade and judges whether the braking speed of the vehicle reaches the maximum braking speed. After the maximum braking distance is confirmed, the central processing unit judges whether the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the maximum braking speed at the moment. If the speed is lower than the maximum braking speed, the vehicle is in a semi-runaway state but not completely out of control; if the speed is greater than or equal to the maximum braking speed at the moment, the vehicle is in a complete out-of-control state, and the central processing unit sends a signal to control the operation of the bouncing air bag actuator.
As shown in fig. 4, the airbag sensor in the pop-up airbag actuator receives an operation signal from the cpu, and is connected to the circuit of the igniter, the ignition electrode in the igniter ignites the gas generating agent in the inflator, the gas generating agent in the inflator is rapidly combusted to generate nitrogen, and 10ms of the nitrogen is charged into the pop-up airbag and reaches the bounce threshold value of the cab, so that the pop-up airbag is ready to be popped up. The cab bounce critical value is combined with the inflation speed and the volume of the bounce air bag, the processing is converted into inflation time, the inflation time is prestored in the bounce air bag actuator or the control mechanism, and the inflation time is controlled to control the inflation quantity of the bounce air bag.
S7Control strategy for bounce
After the data acquisition mechanism acquires the cargo collision information, signals are transmitted to the central processing unit of the control mechanism in real time, the control mechanism immediately judges that the truck is in a dangerous state, the control mechanism controls the bouncing air bag to carry out secondary inflation through the bouncing air bag actuator, and the cab is bounced after the bouncing air bag expands, so that the driver protection is realized.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, after the vehicle encounters sudden unexpected braking, due to the large inertia of the steel material, the upper half part of the steel material can slide forward and even pass through the cab 1; when the pop-up airbag 2 is activated, the cab 1 is popped up, so that the driver is protected under the steel material, and the steel material passes through the cab but does not injure the driver.
When goods with large inertia such as steel materials, pipes and the like are transported by a truck, the control mechanism starts the actuating mechanism in an emergency braking state, and selects to start the safety air bag or simultaneously start the bounce air bag according to the grade of the emergency state, when the braking condition is serious, the bounce air bag is started to bounce the cab forward, so that a driver is transferred to a relatively lower position, the goods on the upper part in the carriage pass through the upper part of the driver when moving forward, the risk that the driver is scratched by the goods and even collides is avoided, the driver is protected, and the safety of personnel in the transportation process is improved.
