この発明は車速に応じて作動油の供給流量を切換えるよ
うにしたパワーステアリングの異常検出装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a power steering abnormality detection device that switches the supply flow rate of hydraulic oil according to vehicle speed.
自動車等のステアリング操作力を軽減するために、油圧

シス1−)jは低速走行域で大きなものが要求される反
面、高速走行域では操縦安定性を高める意味からも、む
しろマニュアルステアリングに近い程度でよい。In order to reduce the steering force of automobiles, etc., power steering uses hydraulic pressure to control wheel turning operations! Although the g consumption rate is increasing, the turning resistance of the wheels generally changes with the vehicle speed, and the resistance decreases in the high speed driving range (because it is in the I direction, the hydraulic assistance is 1-). On the other hand, in high-speed driving ranges, a steering system that is close to manual steering is sufficient in order to improve steering stability.
そこで、車速あるいはエンジン回転数に応してパワース
テアリングの油圧アクヂュ〕ニータに供給する油量を減
じ、高速安定性を改善するようにした速度感応型のパワ
ーステアリングシステムが提案されている(例えば特開
昭48−2206号、特開昭48−10729号等)。Therefore, speed-sensitive power steering systems have been proposed that improve high-speed stability by reducing the amount of oil supplied to the power steering hydraulic actuator depending on the vehicle speed or engine speed (for example, (Kokai No. 48-2206, JP-A-48-10729, etc.).
これを第1図、第2図に基づいて説明すると、油圧ポン
プ1からの吐出油をバワースデアリングアクヂュエータ
2に導く管路3の途中に、その流路を絞る電磁式の流量
制御弁4が介装され、この制御弁4の前後の油圧差を一
定に保つ差圧1整弁5が設置される。To explain this based on FIGS. 1 and 2, there is an electromagnetic flow control valve in the middle of the pipe 3 that leads the oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 1 to the bower swaying actuator 2, which throttles the flow path. 4 is interposed, and a differential pressure regulating valve 5 is installed to keep the oil pressure difference before and after the control valve 4 constant.
そして、この電磁流量制御弁4は、車速センサ6力目ら
の信号が入力される制御回路7の出力信号によって比例
的に開閉制御され、低速域ではほぼ全開づ−る一方、高
速域になるにしたがい流路を絞るようになっている。The electromagnetic flow control valve 4 is controlled to open and close proportionally by the output signal of the control circuit 7 to which signals from the sixth vehicle speed sensor are input, and while it is almost fully open in the low speed range, it is opened in the high speed range. The flow path is narrowed down accordingly.

に示Jような車速−電流特性に処理し、第4図に示4よ
うな流量制御特性を得るようにしている。This sensor signal is a pulse signal, and after being amplified and waveform-shaped by the signal amplifier 8 of the control circuit 7, it is sent to the frequency-voltage converter 9, where it is converted into a voltage signal according to the vehicle speed, and is further converted to a voltage signal according to the vehicle speed. The signal is processed to a predetermined voltage and current level and sent to a power amplifier (difference ω amplifier) 11. Then, the power amplifier 11 amplifies the drive voltage and current of the electromagnetic flow control valve 4 to perform proportional opening and closing as described above. Incidentally, in order to keep the 1lIII control state constant in the extremely low speed d3 and high speed ranges of the vehicle speed, the operational amplifier 10 processes the vehicle speed-current characteristic as shown in FIG. The flow control characteristics are as follows.
これにより、車輪の換向抵抗の人きい低速域で所定のパ
ワーアシストを行なうのに十分な抽出を確保づる一方、

ュアルステアリングに近い状態を保って安定性を高めて
いるのである。This ensures sufficient extraction to perform the specified power assist in the low speed range where the steering resistance of the wheels is low.
At high speeds, the amount of oil supplied to actuator 2 is reduced to maintain a state similar to that of annual steering and improve stability.
しかしながら、このように制御しても、例えば電磁流量
制御弁4への電気配線が断線したり4ると、制御弁4が
流路を絞ったままに7より、低速域でパワーステアリン
グが効かなくなつ−Cしまう。However, even with this control, if the electrical wiring to the electromagnetic flow control valve 4 is broken, for example, the control valve 4 will continue to restrict the flow path and the power steering will not work in the low speed range. Put away Natsu-C.
また、制御弁14の絞り特性が逆のものでは、l)i線
時に全開し、高速域で効きすぎて危険を招きかねない。Furthermore, if the control valve 14 has the opposite throttling characteristics, it will be fully opened during the i-line (1) and will be too effective at high speeds, potentially causing danger.
この発明は、このようなときに警りちを発し、故障を知
らせて安全性、保守性を高めることを[]的とり−る。The present invention aims to raise the safety and maintainability by issuing an alarm in such a case and notifying the user of the failure.

うにしである。To this end, the present invention connects a detection resistor to the circuit ground side (low potential side) of the electromagnetic flow rate control valve, and includes a comparator that determines the minimum value of the voltage applied to this detection resistor, and a comparator that determines the minimum value of the voltage applied to the detection resistor. A warning means is provided which operates accordingly, and the warning means is activated via a comparator when the detected voltage decreases at the time of wire breakage.
以下、本発明の実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

への供給油量を絞り込む。In FIG. 5, 6 is a vehicle speed sensor, and 7 is a control circuit, which is composed of a signal amplifier 8, a frequency-voltage converter 9, an operational amplifier 10, and a power amplifier 11, as in FIG. Reference numeral 4 denotes an electromagnetic flow control valve, which is driven to open and close by the output of the control circuit 7 based on the signal from the vehicle speed sensor 6, and controls the amount of oil supplied to the power steering actuator according to the increase in vehicle speed, as described above. Refine.
本実施例ではこの電磁流量制御弁4のソレノイド端子1
2.13の低電位側に、所定抵抗値の検出抵抗14が接
続され、その回路15が接地される。In this embodiment, the solenoid terminal 1 of the electromagnetic flow control valve 4 is
A detection resistor 14 having a predetermined resistance value is connected to the low potential side of 2.13, and its circuit 15 is grounded.
そして、この検出抵抗14にかかる電圧が比較器1Gの
一側に入力され、+側に電圧信号発生器17からの基準
電圧か人力される。この基41電圧は、前記電力増幅器
11から出力される最小電圧値より小さい値に設定され
る。The voltage applied to this detection resistor 14 is input to one side of the comparator 1G, and the reference voltage from the voltage signal generator 17 is input to the + side. This base 41 voltage is set to a value smaller than the minimum voltage value output from the power amplifier 11.
比較器16は、検出抵抗14にかかる電圧が基準電圧よ
り高いとローレベルの出力となり、低いとハイレベルの
出力となる。The comparator 16 outputs a low level when the voltage applied to the detection resistor 14 is higher than the reference voltage, and outputs a high level when the voltage is lower than the reference voltage.
この比較器16の出力は、抵抗18を介して警告手段と
してのランプ19に送られ、ハレイベルのとさ、ランプ
19を点灯する。このランプ19(ユ、車両の運転席に
設置される。The output of the comparator 16 is sent via a resistor 18 to a lamp 19 as a warning means, and the lamp 19 is turned on at the head of the Halley bell. This lamp 19 (Y) is installed in the driver's seat of the vehicle.
即ち、制御回路7から電磁流M 1ljl+御弁4のソ
レノイドへの断線故障がないときには、検出抵抗14に
常にある程度以上の電圧がかかり、したがってランプ1
9は消灯状態にある。That is, when there is no disconnection failure from the control circuit 7 to the electromagnetic flow M 1ljl + solenoid of the control valve 4, a voltage above a certain level is always applied to the detection resistor 14, and therefore the lamp 1
9 is in an off state.
これに対して、断線故障が起きたどきには、電流が流れ
ないために検出抵抗14がO電位となり、比較器16か
らハイレベルの出力が出される。これにより、運転席の
ランプ19が点灯し、故障が警告されるのである。On the other hand, when a disconnection fault occurs, the detection resistor 14 becomes O potential because no current flows, and the comparator 16 outputs a high level output. As a result, the lamp 19 on the driver's seat lights up, giving a warning of the malfunction.
このようにしたので、車両走行中の振動等によって電磁

故障箇所を知ることができる。したがって、修理等容易
に行なえ、メンテノーンスが良好となる。With this arrangement, even if the electrical wiring to the electromagnetic flow control valve 4 is broken due to vibrations while the vehicle is running and the steering deteriorates, the driver can immediately detect the abnormality and identify the cause of the failure.
You can know the location of the failure. Therefore, repairs, etc. can be easily carried out, resulting in good maintenance.
そして、断線により制御弁4が全開し、高速域でパワー
ステアリングが効きづき゛てしまうしのでは、異常を察
知してハンドル操作を抑えたり、j*度を落とす等安全
走行を維持して、危険を回避することかでさる。If a disconnection causes the control valve 4 to open fully and the power steering becomes ineffective at high speeds, the system will detect the abnormality and maintain safe driving by suppressing steering operation or reducing the speed. It's all about avoiding danger.
