従来より種々開発されている。2. Description of the Related Art In automobiles, various front and rear wheel steering devices have been developed in which a rear wheel steering actuator operates in conjunction with steering of the front wheels to steer the rear wheels.

である。Front and rear wheel steering systems in automobiles generally aim to improve turning performance by steering the rear wheels in the opposite direction to the front wheel steering direction (reverse phase steering) when the vehicle is running at low speed, and when the vehicle is running at high speed. The rear wheels are steered in the same direction (in-phase steering), and as the vehicle speed increases, the ratio of the rear wheel steering angle θr to the front wheel steering angle θf (front and rear wheel steering ratio) Orlof is gradually increased to approach 1. Normally, rear wheel steering angle control is used to improve stability when driving at high speeds.

常に厄介であると言う問題を有している。In a typical front and rear wheel steering system that controls the rear wheel steering angle (including the steering direction) from the front wheel steering angle and vehicle speed,
- side of the car body For example, when starting from a state where the car is parked with the left side along an obstacle such as a fence or wall, if you turn the steering wheel to the right, the rear wheels will move in the opposite direction because the vehicle speed is extremely low in this case. This poses a problem in that it is extremely difficult to operate in narrow spaces, such as when the vehicle is steered to the left and the rear of the vehicle body protrudes to the left, causing the risk of hitting an obstacle.

)したりする装置が従来より開発されている。Therefore, a distance sensor is installed to detect the distance to an obstacle on the side of the vehicle, and if the space on the side of the vehicle is less than a predetermined value,
Fixed rear wheel steering angle to zero regardless of front wheel steering angle (Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 61
(Refer to Publication No. 181778), or even if the vehicle speed is extremely low, the rear wheels are steered in the same phase and the front and rear wheels steering ratio θr1 is
Devices for fixing 0f to 1 (see Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 135866/1983) have been developed.

ってしまう。Problems that the invention aims to solve However, starting and escaping from a state where one side of the car body is parallel parked along an obstacle such as a fence or wall requires not only the space between the side of the car body and the obstacle. , the problem is whether there is enough distance between the own troops and other cars parked in front of them, that is, whether there is enough space in front of them.As with the conventional device mentioned above, when the side space is less than the set value, the rear wheels are simply With a device that fixes the steering angle to zero or fixes it to Or/θf=1 by steering the rear wheels in phase, it becomes impossible to start and escape when the front space is small.

。Means for Solving the Problems The present invention determines a target value for the rear wheel steering angle (including the steering direction) from the front wheel steering angle and the vehicle speed, and then outputs the output to cause the rear wheels to be steered according to the determined value. In a front and rear wheel steering system of a car equipped with a control unit that sends signals to the actuators of the wheel steering mechanism, when starting from a parked state, a steering pattern that allows the vehicle to start and escape is calculated based on input of distance information to obstacles in the front, rear, left and right sides of the vehicle. The present invention is characterized in that the L control unit is provided with a steering pattern calculation section for selecting the steering pattern, and a display section is provided to display the calculation selection results.

め、後輪同相転舵。As described above, when starting from a parked state, when the distance information to each obstacle in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction of the vehicle body is inputted by the signal from the distance sensor or the driver's visual estimation, the steering pattern calculation section first operates as follows. Calculate whether the distance A to the obstacle in front is such a distance that it is possible to start and escape with the rear wheels being steered in the same phase and the front and rear wheels steering ratio Or/θf being 1, and the front wheels being at the maximum steering angle. For example, the distances ftB and D to the left and right obstacles are compared, the direction with the greater distance is determined as the starting direction, and the rear wheels are steered in phase.

Calculate whether it is true or not. In other words, if the rear wheels are steered in the same phase and the front and rear wheels are steered at a ratio of 1 = 1, the enemy army will move diagonally forward and almost in parallel, but in this case, it is possible to start and escape from parallel parking with the maximum front wheel steering angle of 0 ftsaz. The maximum front space A is □1. It can be found by yLI9f,...a.

。In FIG. 1, reference numeral 14 denotes a steering mode changeover switch, and by operating the steering mode changeover switch 14, the front and rear wheel steering ratio θr/θf is arbitrarily selected and set within the range of +1.0 to -1.0. It is something that can be done. In the above-mentioned front and rear wheel steering ratios, positive and negative represent the direction in which the rear wheels are steered relative to the front wheels; positive means that the rear wheels are steered in the same phase, and negative means that the rear wheels are steered in opposite phase.

後輪転舵比を固定的に設定するようにしても良い。The steering mode changeover switch 14 is used to arbitrarily set the front and rear wheel steering ratio to a desired value by operating the steering mode changeover switch 14, for example, when you want to make a U-turn with a relatively small turning radius, or when you want to enter or exit the garage. However, when starting and escaping from the parallel parking, the control unit 5 uses the input front, rear, left and right distance information to set the fourth
Using the logic illustrated in the figure, a steering pattern that allows the vehicle to start and escape is calculated and selected, and a display as shown in FIG. The front and rear wheel steering ratios selected by No. 5 may be fixedly set.

The fixed rear wheel steering pattern necessary for starting and escaping is cleared automatically when it is determined that the steering mode is completed, or by manual operation such as turning off the steering mode changeover switch 14, and the rear wheel steering pattern is cleared based on the front wheel steering angle and vehicle speed. The process returns to normal rear wheel steering angle control which determines the steering direction and rear wheel turning angle target value.
