Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prohibit crawling if the crawling is judged to be unnecessary even though a car is set to crawling mode. SOLUTION: If both the accelerator pedal 7 and brake pedal 8 are in OFF state when a crawling function setting switch 9 is turned on, a DC power supply of a battery 1 is converted into an AC power supply by an inverter 2, and the converted AC power can be supplied to a driving motor 3 and crawling can be performed and, if there is no steering operation detection signal from a torque sensor 6a mounted in a power steering 6, then a control circuit, 5, which does not supply AC power to driving motor 3, is installed.

It is desirable to add a slow speed running function that uses a so-called creep phenomenon that runs at a slow speed without N operation, but a control mechanism is required to prevent runaway when leaving the driver's cab with the slow speed running function ON. Become. In the case of a model equipped with a seat, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a push-type switch (deadman switch) 11 for detecting that the driver sits down is provided under the seat 10 and a signal from the switch 11 is provided. Is input to the control circuit 5, and the control circuit 5 does not allow the inverter 2 to supply electric power to the traveling motor 3 if the driver does not sit in the seat 10 even if the slow speed traveling function is in the ON state.

The control means using the above-mentioned switch, when the slow speed running function is in the ON state, even when no one is seated on the seat, for example, a state in which a load is put on the seat and a load is applied. Just because, the switch actuates as if a person sat in the driver's seat, and it runs, and even if the driver sits on the seat, it is not necessarily because the driver operates. Not only that, but as soon as he sits down, he runs despite his unwillingness to drive. or,
Cannot be used for types that do not have a seat. The present invention is to accurately determine that the vehicle is actually in an operating state and prevent unexpected traveling due to a creep phenomenon.

The slow speed traveling control device of the present invention performs the slow speed running operation when it is determined that the steering wheel is not operated based on the steering operation detection signal of the torque sensor provided in the power steering. Since the control means for blocking is provided, the blocking of the slow speed running operation is performed by turning off the power supply to the running motor, and at that time, the brake can be turned on. .

Even if the vehicle is traveling at a very low speed, the driver operates the steering wheel in small steps. Therefore, when the driver receives a motion detection signal, it is determined that the steering wheel is being operated, and the vehicle operates at a very low speed. When the steering operation is stopped or the vehicle gets off and the steering operation detection signal is interrupted, the slow speed traveling operation is stopped and unexpected traveling is not performed. Further, the stop of the slow speed running operation can be easily controlled only by turning off the power supply, and further, by turning on the brake, the stopped state can be surely maintained, whereby the slow speed running mode itself does not work.

The torque sensor 6a detects the rotational torque of the power steering 6 and inputs the torque to the control circuit 5 as a steering operation detection signal to drive the power steering motor 4 to operate the steering mechanism. It plays an important role in supporting the turning operation according to the detected value. Also, when the accelerator pedal 7 is depressed, it is detected by the accelerator potentiometer 7a,
The supply of electric power from the control circuit 5 to the traveling motor 3 is controlled according to the depression amount of the accelerator pedal 7. In this case, it is premised that the brake pedal 8 is not depressed, but if both the accelerator pedal 7 and the brake pedal 8 are depressed at the same time, in order to protect the traveling motor 3, The power supply to the traveling motor 3 is stopped.

When the accelerator pedal 7 is not stepped on and the brake pedal 8 is stepped on, the driving vehicle naturally has the intention to maintain the stopped state. In this case as well, the electric power to the traveling motor 3 is applied. The supply is stopped, but when neither the accelerator pedal 7 nor the brake pedal 8 is depressed,
If the slow speed traveling mode setting switch 9 is off, no power is supplied to the traveling motor 3. However, when the low speed traveling mode setting switch 9 is ON, the electric power required for the low speed traveling is supplied to the traveling motor 3 only when there is a signal input from the torque sensor 6a, and when there is no signal input. , The power supply to the traveling motor is cut off. That is, the slow speed traveling mode setting switch 9 is turned off.
If it is N and the accelerator pedal 7 and the brake pedal 8 are both depressed, the low speed traveling mode is executed, but if there is no signal input from the torque sensor 6a, the low speed traveling is not performed and the signal from the torque sensor 6a is not transmitted. If there is an input, it will run at a slow speed. If the signal input from the torque sensor 6a is interrupted during the low speed traveling, the electric power supply to the traveling motor is cut off and the low speed traveling is immediately stopped. Then, if the signal input from the torque sensor 6a is confirmed, the low speed traveling is stopped. It will be restarted. When the accelerator pedal 7 or the brake pedal 8 is operated during low speed traveling, the functions of the accelerator pedal 7 or the brake pedal 8 have priority and the low speed traveling function is released.

Although the slow speed travel can be permitted or blocked only by turning the power supply on and off by the control circuit,
When the slow speed running mode is set, the brake is also used so that the brake is turned on if there is no signal input from the torque sensor 6a, and the slow speed running is blocked by the signal from the brake potentiometer when the brake is turned on. Therefore, it is desirable to double the safety. According to such a control device, if the driver leaves the driver's seat without forgetting to turn off the low speed traveling mode setting switch, or if the driver's vehicle sits down on the seat, there is no steering operation detection signal from the torque sensor, so the vehicle cannot travel at low speed. There is no unexpected running.
