It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.
In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may be practiced otherwise than as described herein; it will be apparent that the embodiments in the specification are only some, but not all, embodiments of the disclosure.
In the drive-by-wire steering system, the road sense simulation structure can output torque to the steering wheel to prevent the steering wheel from rotating, so that a driver can accurately control the steering angle of the steering wheel, the situation that the vehicle deviates from the driving direction due to overlarge steering angle is avoided, the simulated road sense is provided for the driver, in addition, the road sense simulation structure can enable the steering wheel to have a soft limit function and provide auxiliary support for the driver when the driver gets on or off the vehicle through outputting the torque to the steering wheel, the soft limit of the steering wheel means that the steering wheel is rotated to the limit position by the driver, the torque is output to the steering wheel through the road sense simulation structure, the rotation of the steering wheel is prevented, and the driver is prevented from suddenly rotating the steering wheel to the limit position to generate strong impact sound, and meanwhile, other structural damages in the steering system can be avoided.
However, because the steering wheel needs larger torque when realizing soft limit and providing auxiliary support for the driver when the driver gets on or off the vehicle, the current road feel simulation structure only outputs torque through the driving motor, and the driving motor is limited by an assembly space, which is usually a small-volume motor, and the output torque of the small-volume motor is small, the large-torque requirement of the steering wheel under the special scene is difficult to meet.
In view of the above, the embodiment of the application provides a road feel simulation structure, a steer-by-wire system and a vehicle. The road sense simulation structure comprises a damping output mechanism and a speed reducing mechanism, wherein the damping output mechanism comprises a driving motor and a rotary damper, the driving motor and the rotary damper are respectively connected with the input end of the speed reducing mechanism, and the output end of the speed reducing mechanism is used for transmitting torque to the steering wheel of the steering-by-wire system, so that the torque is output to the input end of the speed reducing mechanism through the driving motor and the rotary damper, is transmitted to the steering wheel after being reduced and increased in torsion through the speed reducing mechanism, simulated road sense is provided for a driver, and in the process, the driving motor and the rotary damper are coaxially arranged, so that the torque output by the driving motor and the torque output by the rotary damper can be output in a superposition manner, and compared with the torque output by the driving motor only, the large torque output of the damping output mechanism can be realized, and the large torque requirement of the steering wheel under special scenes such as soft limit, auxiliary support for the driver is provided for the driving and the like is met.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a road feel simulation structure according to some embodiments of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a road feel simulation structure, including a speed reduction mechanism 10 and a damping output mechanism 20, where the speed reduction mechanism 10 includes an input end and an output end, and the output end is used for transmitting torque to a steering wheel of a steer-by-wire system; the damping output mechanism 20 includes a drive motor 21 and a rotary damper 22, and the drive motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 are coaxially connected and respectively connected to the input terminals.
Alternatively, the output end of the speed reducing mechanism 10 may be directly connected to the steering wheel, or the output end of the speed reducing mechanism 10 may be indirectly connected to the steering wheel through a torque transmission structure such as a pipe sleeve, which is not limited in this embodiment.
The embodiment of the application provides a road feel simulation structure, which comprises a damping output mechanism 20 and a speed reducing mechanism 10, wherein the damping output mechanism 20 comprises a driving motor 21 and a rotary damper 22, the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 are both connected with the input end of the speed reducing mechanism 10, and the output end of the speed reducing mechanism 10 is used for transmitting torque to the steering wheel of a steer-by-wire system, so that the torque is output to the input end of the speed reducing mechanism 10 through the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22, and is transmitted to the steering wheel after being decelerated and torsion-increased through the speed reducing mechanism 10, so that a simulated road feel is provided for a driver. It should be clear that the damping output mechanism 20 in this embodiment can also provide a large torque output for the steering wheel in other special situations of the steering wheel, and is not limited to the above-mentioned situations of soft limit and providing auxiliary support for the driver to get on or off the vehicle.
It will be appreciated that in the present embodiment, by providing the rotary damper 22 in the damper output mechanism 20 so that it can output torque to the reduction mechanism 10 together with the drive motor 21, a smaller-sized motor can be selected as the drive motor 21 in the case where the preset maximum output torque is fixed, so that the production cost of the road feel simulation structure can be reduced while the space occupation of the road feel simulation structure is reduced. Further, the rotary damper 22 and the driving motor 21 can be controlled continuously and variably under different torque demands of the steering wheel, and the response speed is high and the execution accuracy is high.
Alternatively, the speed reduction mechanism 10 may be any type of speed reduction mechanism 10 such as a gear reduction mechanism, a planetary gear reduction mechanism, and a worm reduction mechanism, and the present embodiment is not limited.
In some embodiments, the rotary damper 22 is configured as a magnetorheological damper.
The magnetorheological damper means that by controlling the on/off of the current in the rotary damper 22, a magnetic field is generated or not generated in the rotary damper 22, when the magnetic field is generated, the magnetorheological fluid in the rotary damper 22 gradually changes to a solid state having viscosity and elasticity when passing through the magnetic field, a damping force is generated in the rotary damper 22, a torque is output to the reduction mechanism 10, and when the magnetic field is not generated, the magnetorheological fluid returns to the fluid state, and at this time, the damping force in the rotary damper 22 is reduced or even no damping force is generated, so that the torque is not output to the reduction mechanism 10.
It will be appreciated that in the present embodiment, when the degree of conversion of the magnetorheological fluid in the rotary damper 22 into the solid state is high, the damping force generated is large, the torque output to the reduction mechanism 10 is large, and when the degree of conversion of the magnetorheological fluid in the rotary damper 22 into the fluid state is high, the damping force generated is small, the torque output to the reduction mechanism 10 is small. Therefore, in the present embodiment, by controlling the magnitude of the current flowing into the rotary damper 22, the magnitude of the magnetic field generated in the rotary damper 22 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the state of the magnetorheological fluid in the rotary damper 22 to precisely control the magnitude of the damping force generated by the rotary damper 22, thereby precisely controlling the magnitude of the torque output by the rotary damper 22 to the reduction mechanism 10, and realizing precise regulation and control of the torque output by the damping output mechanism 20.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the reduction mechanism 10 includes a worm gear 11 and a worm 12 that intermesh, with an input end located on the worm 12 and an output end located on the worm gear 11.
The worm 12 is respectively connected with a motor shaft of the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22, the rotary damper 22 and the driving motor 21 respectively drive the worm 12 to rotate so as to transmit torque to the worm 12, the worm 12 is meshed with the worm wheel 11, and the torque is transmitted to the worm wheel 11 to simultaneously realize speed reduction and torque increase, so that the structure is simple and the transmission is stable. It will be appreciated that in the reduction mechanism 10, the gear ratio between the worm 12 and the worm wheel 11 is greater than 1, so that a reduction and torque-up effect can be achieved.
With reference to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the worm 12 includes a meshing portion 121 and two connecting portions 122, the meshing portion 121 is meshed with the worm wheel 11, the two connecting portions 122 are disposed on two sides of the meshing portion 121 along an axial direction of the worm 12, the driving motor 21 is connected to one of the two connecting portions 122, and the rotary damper 22 is connected to the other, so as to improve balance of the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 when assembled to the worm 12, and further improve transmission stability.
Alternatively, the reduction mechanism 10 may further include a housing, and the housing of the driving motor 21 and the housing of the rotary damper 22 may be connected with the housing of the reduction mechanism 10, thereby reducing the overall volume of the road feel simulation structure and reducing its space occupation in the wire harness steering system and even the vehicle.
Optionally, the speed reducing mechanism 10 may further include a first bearing sleeved on the connecting portion 122 and located between the driving motor 21 and the engaging portion 121, where the first bearing is connected to the housing of the speed reducing mechanism 10, so as to improve the transmission stability of the worm 12; and/or, the speed reducing mechanism 10 may further include a second bearing, which is sleeved on the connection portion 122 and is located between the rotary damper 22 and the engagement portion 121, and the second bearing is connected to the housing of the speed reducing mechanism 10, so as to further improve the driving stability of the worm 12.

With continued reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in some embodiments, the road feel simulation structure further includes a controller 40, where the controller 40 is connected to the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 respectively, and is used for controlling at least one of the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 to start, so that the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 can be reasonably controlled to start or close according to the requirements of the vehicle, thereby avoiding wasting resources.
In some embodiments, the road feel simulation structure includes a normal operation state and a special operation state, where the controller 40 controls the driving motor 21 to start; under special working conditions, the controller 40 controls the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 to be started respectively.
Specifically, when the vehicle is running normally, the road feel simulation structure may be in a normal working state, the controller 40 controls the driving motor 21 to start and the rotary damper 22 to close, and outputs torque to the input end of the speed reducing mechanism 10 through the driving motor 21, and the torque is transmitted to the steering wheel through the output end after being reduced and increased in the speed reducing mechanism 10, so as to provide simulated road feel for the driver. When the soft limit function of the steering wheel is required to be achieved or the steering wheel is required to provide auxiliary support for getting on or off the vehicle, the road feel simulation structure can be in a special working condition state, the controller 40 controls the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 to be started simultaneously, the torque output by the driving motor 21 and the torque output by the rotary damper 22 can be transmitted to the speed reducing mechanism 10 in a superposition mode, and the torque is transmitted to the steering wheel after being reduced and increased at the speed reducing mechanism 10, so that the requirement of the steering wheel for large torque under special scenes such as soft limit, auxiliary support for the driver and the like is met. Of course, the road feel simulation structure can be in a special working condition state under the scenes of other large torque demands of the steering wheel, and the embodiment is not limited.
In the present embodiment, the road feel simulation structure is correspondingly in different states under different scenes of the vehicle, and the driving motor 21 and/or the rotary damper 22 are controlled to be started by the controller 40 under different states, so that flexible control of the driving motor 21 and the rotary damper 22 is realized, and the road feel simulation structure can flexibly output torque outwards.
In some embodiments, the road feel simulation structure further includes a fault compensation state, in which the driving motor 21 is in fault, and the controller 40 controls the rotary damper 22 to be started, so that the rotary damper 22 can output torque to the steering wheel instead of the driving motor 21, so as to avoid the situation that the torque cannot be output to the steering wheel due to the fault of the driving motor 21, and thus the safety performance of the vehicle is affected.
