BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reducing the maximum loss output of an electric servo steering output stage of a vehicle, and more specifically, the maximum loss output (Pmax) generated during travel driving in the output stage of an electric servo steering of a vehicle. The present invention relates to a reduction method and a reduction device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional electric servo steering system, when the maximum allowable loss output of the output stage increases due to environmental effects such as significant motor heating and battery voltage increase during vehicle driving, the servo motor is turned off. The driven output stage overheated and eventually failed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, if the electrical output stage fails in this way, the entire servo steering stops, so it must be switched to emergency driving. At this time, the steering assist is not executed, and the entire steering force is transmitted to the steering wheel. Therefore, there is a problem that the driving comfort is greatly lost and the driver's steering is adversely affected. In particular, when the danger of overheating of the output stage is high, the output stage is completely shut off in advance, but in this case, the entire servo steering is released, so that steering assistance by servo steering is not executed. There's a problem.
[0004]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved output stage capable of preventing the overheating of the electric servo steering output stage to increase the safety and comfort of the electric servo steering and at the same time performing a comfortable steering support. It is an object to provide a method and apparatus for reducing the maximum loss output.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is a method for reducing the maximum loss output generated during traveling driving in the electric servo steering output stage of the vehicle, and which affects the temperature of the output stage. A recognition step for recognizing whether or not one or two or more vehicle situations or surrounding situations have exceeded a danger value, and one algorithm set in advance when judging that the danger value has been exceeded in the recognition step, Or a control step of reducing the maximum loss output of the output stage according to two or more preset different algorithms selected according to parameters formed based on the vehicle situation or the ambient situation A method for reducing the maximum loss output of the output stage is provided.
[0006]
In the invention described in this section, the loss output of the output stage can be reduced as desired when the risk of overheating of the output stage is high. In other words, as soon as it is recognized that the dangerous value has been exceeded during driving for one or more vehicle conditions or ambient conditions that directly affect the output stage temperature or the output stage temperature, it is set in advance. The maximum allowable loss output at the output stage can be reduced to a minimum value according to one algorithm or a plurality of different algorithms including the output stage temperature or the vehicle situation or the ambient situation as parameters. As a result, the output stage is protected from overheating and failure, and at the same time the driving comfort is assured to the maximum.
[0007]
Further, if the one or more algorithms are configured to be stored as a characteristic curve or a map as in the invention described in claim 2, the maximum allowable loss is determined via a parameter determined by the vehicle situation or the surrounding situation. Through the characteristic curve or map in which the output is described, the algorithm can be executed to suitably reduce the maximum allowable loss output of the output stage.
[0008]
Further, as in the third aspect of the invention, if the one or more algorithms are configured to be expressed by one or more mathematical expressions, a plurality of different vehicle situations and surrounding situations can be represented by one or two. The vehicle situation or the surrounding situation can be calculated by the above formula. Further, for example, as in the invention described in claim 4, the vehicle situation and the ambient situation are at least one selected from the group of battery voltage, vehicle speed, motor temperature, output stage temperature or ambient temperature. Can be configured.
[0009]
In order to solve the above problem, as in the invention described in claim 5, at the electric servo steering output stage of the vehicle, there is provided a device for reducing the maximum loss output generated during traveling drive, wherein the electric servo steering The open loop control / closed loop control unit that drives the output stage recognizes whether one or more vehicle conditions or ambient conditions affecting the temperature of the output stage have exceeded a dangerous value, and determines the dangerous value. The output according to one preset algorithm or a plurality of preset different algorithms selected according to parameters formed based on the vehicle situation or the surrounding situation, An apparatus for reducing the maximum loss output of an output stage is provided, characterized by reducing the maximum loss output of the stage.
[0010]
In the invention described in this section, the loss output of the output stage can be reduced as desired when the risk of overheating of the output stage is high. In other words, as soon as it is recognized that the dangerous value has been exceeded during driving for one or more vehicle conditions or ambient conditions that directly affect the output stage temperature or the output stage temperature, it is set in advance. The maximum allowable loss output at the output stage can be reduced to a minimum value according to one algorithm or a plurality of different algorithms including the output stage temperature or the vehicle situation or the ambient situation as parameters. As a result, the output stage is protected from overheating and failure, and at the same time the driving comfort is assured to the maximum.
[0011]
According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the open loop control / closed loop control unit reduces the maximum allowable loss by reducing a voltage supplied from the output stage to the servo motor of the electric servo steering. If configured to reduce the output, for example, the maximum possible loss output of the output stage of the electric servo steering is reduced as desired through the voltage vector according to the vehicle situation and the surrounding situation during driving, thereby avoiding overheating of the output stage. At the same time, the maximum comfortable steering assistance is guaranteed. According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, the open loop control / closed loop control unit reduces the frequency supplied from the output stage to the servo motor of the electric servo steering, thereby reducing the maximum allowable loss. Even if the output is reduced, the same effect can be obtained by reducing the maximum possible loss output of the output stage of the electric servo steering through the frequency.
[0012]
Further, as in the invention described in claim 8, the open loop control / closed loop control unit is configured to receive signals relating to the vehicle situation and the ambient situation from sensors and / or other control devices in the vehicle. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the maximum possible loss output of the output stage of the electric servo steering through the voltage vector or the frequency according to the vehicle situation and the surrounding situation during traveling driving.
[0013]
According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, the open loop control / closed loop control unit has a memory, and the memory stores the one or more algorithms in a characteristic curve or map format. If configured, the algorithm can be read out from the memory and dealt with quickly.
[0014]
