例如,如图1所示,以制动轮缸17为例,可以在第一进液支路31中设置进液阀9,该进液阀9的压力入端口可以与制动管路1的压力出端口相连,进液阀9的压力出端口可以与制动轮缸17的压力入端口5连通。当进液阀9处于导通状态时,第一进液支路31中的制动液可以流向制动轮缸17,通过增加制动管路1中的制动液的压力,可以增大制动轮缸17内制动液的压力。当进液阀9处于断开状态时,制动管路1内的制动液的制动液被进液阀9阻断,无法流向制动轮缸17。又例如,如图1所示,可以在第二进液支路32、第三进液支路33和第四进液支路34中,分别设置进液阀10、11和12,进液阀10、11和12的压力出端口,可以分别与制动轮缸18、19和20的压力入端口6、7和8连通。又 例如,为了防止制动液回流,还可以设置与进液阀(9、10、11、12)并联的单向阀109。由此,可以实现对于制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)内制动液压力的单独调节。
对于制动***而言,在一些情况下,还需要减小施加在车轮上的制动力。
示例性地,可以在制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)的出液管路上设置出液阀(13、14、15、16),以便独立地调节每个制动轮缸内的制动液的压力。在对制动轮缸内的制动液进行减压,以减小向车轮施加的制动力时,可以控制该制动轮缸对应的出液阀处于导通状态。在无需对制动轮缸内的制动液减压时,可以控制该出液阀处于断开状态。
例如,如图1所示,以制动轮缸17为例,制动轮缸17可以与出液管路110相通,在制动轮缸17与出液管路110之间的制动管路中,可以设置出液阀13。当出液阀13处于导通状态时,该制动管路中的制动液,可以通过出液阀13,由制动轮缸17流向出液管路110,进而流向储液装置101,以减小制动轮缸17内制动液的压力。当出液阀13处于断开状态时,制动液被出液阀13阻断,无法从制动轮缸17流向出液管路110。又例如,如图1所示,在出液管路110与制动轮缸18、19和20之间的制动管路中,可以分别设置出液阀14、15和16。由此,可以实现制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)内的制动液压力的单独调节。
示例性地,在减小施加在车轮上的制动力的过程中,制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)内的制动液可以通过该出液管路110流回储液装置101。因此,上述出液管路110也可以称为“回油管路”。
应理解,上述涉及的“出液管路”、“回油管路”、“进液管路”,仅仅基于制动管路在制动***中的功能来区分,可以对应于不同的制动管路,也可以对应于相同的一条制动管路。例如,如图1所示,从制动轮缸18流出的制动液,可以通过第二进液支路32中的部分管路,流向出液阀14,进而流向出液管路110,该部分管路可以作为进油管路,也可以作为出液管路。
应理解,“压力出端口”可以理解为制动液流出的端口,“压力入端口”可以理解为制动液流入的端口。也就是说,“压力出端口”以及“压力入端口”可以理解为是从功能上限定端口的作用。上述“压力出端口”以及“压力入端口”可以用于限定一个物理端口在不同的工作模式下的作用,比如,在制动轮缸18的减压过程中,出液阀14处于导通状态时,压力入端口6可以作为制动轮缸18的压力出端口。或者,上述“压力出端口”以及“压力入端口”还可以对应两个不同的物理端口。
上述出液阀的方案和进液阀的方案可以单独配置在制动***中使用,也可以与相互配合使用在一个制动***中。下文结合图1以制动轮缸18对应的出液阀14和进液阀10为例,介绍出液阀与进液阀之间的连接方式。
进液阀10设置于第二进液支路32,进液阀10的压力入端口与制动管路2相连,进液阀10的压力出端口与制动轮缸18的压力入端口6相连。而且,出液阀14的压力入端口与制动轮缸18的压力入端口6相连,出液阀14的压力出端口与出液管路110相连。
示例性地,制动轮缸17对应的出液阀13和进液阀9间的连接方式,制动轮缸19对应的出液阀15和进液阀11间的连接方式,和/或,制动轮缸20对应的出液阀16和进液阀12的连接方式,可以与上述出液阀14与进液阀10之间的连接方式相同。
应理解,进液阀和出液阀的配合方式还可以有其他方式。例如,制动轮缸18可以具 有两个独立的物理端口,由此,制动轮缸18可以通过两个并联且独立的制动管路,分别与制动回路供应管路171、出液管路110相连,将进液阀10和出液阀14分别设置在上述两个独立的制动管路上。
另外,上述所涉及的“进液阀”、“出液阀”,以及下文涉及的“隔离阀”是基于控制阀在制动***中的功能来区分的。用于控制进液管路连通或者断开的控制阀可以称为“进液阀”或者“增压阀”、“进油阀”。用于控制出液管路连通或者断开的控制阀可以称为“出液阀”或者“减压阀”、“出油阀”。用于隔离两级制动子***的控制阀可以称为“隔离阀”。其中,上述控制阀可以是现有的制动***中常用的阀,例如,电磁阀等。
示例性地,在包含主制动子***100的制动***中,可以设置有制动主缸210。制动主缸210的压力出端口可以与进液管路连通,从而通过调节进液管路中的制动液的压力,调节制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)内制动液的压力。
示例性地,该制动主缸210可以是单腔式制动主缸,也可以是双腔式制动主缸,本申请实施例对制动主缸的形式不做限定。
可选地,上述制动主缸210为串联双腔式制动主缸时,该制动主缸210可以包括第一腔211和第二腔212。其中,第一腔211中的第一活塞与第二腔212中的第二活塞之间可以通过弹簧相连,当第一活塞相对于缸体产生位移时,可以通过弹簧推动第二活塞产生相对于缸体的位移。
一个实施例中,从制动主缸210的第二腔212流出的制动液,可以通过压力出端口22流向第二组车轮122的制动轮缸。制动主缸210的第一腔211中的制动液可以通过压力出端口21流向第一组车轮121的制动轮缸。
又一个实施例中,也可以是第一腔211的压力出端口21,通过进液管路与第二组车轮122的制动轮缸连通,第二腔212的压力出端口22通过进液管路与第一组车轮121的制动轮缸连通。
示例性地,制动主缸210可以通过压力补偿管路与储液装置101相连,制动主缸210可以通过压力补偿管路从储液装置101中补偿制动液。例如,制动主缸210为串联双腔式制动主缸时,如图1所示,制动主缸210的第一腔211和第二腔212,可以通过压力补偿管路(177、178)分别与储液装置101连通。又例如,在压力补偿管路中可以设置控制阀,当控制阀断开时,制动液被控制阀阻断,无法在储液装置101与制动主缸210间流动,当控制阀导通时,储液装置101与制动主缸210连通。又例如,为避免制动液回流,还可以设置与上述控制阀并联的单向阀。
示例性地,搭载该主制动子***100的车辆可以设置有制动踏板,制动主缸210可以通过活塞杆等连接机构,与制动踏板连接,从而可以将制动踏板的运动与制动主缸210中活塞的运动相耦合。相应地,该制动***中可以设置制动踏板行程传感器,以获取该制动踏板的行程。
示例性地,可以在制动***的制动管路中设置一个或多个压力传感器,以检测管路中制动液的压力。例如,压力传感器154,可以检测与制动主缸210的压力出端口连通的制动管路中的制动液的压力。又例如,可以在第一进液管路41,和/或第二进液管路42中设置压力传感器。

示例性地,该主压力提供装置可以包括液压缸133,以及用于驱动该液压缸133的装置,比如,电机132。例如,电机132可以用于驱动液压缸133中的活塞做直线往复运动,将液压缸133中的制动液压入第一进液管路41和/或第二进液管路42中。
示例性地,液压缸133可以是双作用柱塞缸(dual apply plunger,DAP),也可以是其他形式的液压缸,比如,单作用柱塞缸等。
示例性地,主增压模块130也可以包括一个或多个控制阀,上述控制阀处于导通状态时,从主压力提供装置流出的制动液可以经控制阀流向与进液阀的压力入端口连通的制动管路,比如,制动回路供应管路(171、172)、制动管路1等。
一个实施例中,主增压模块130中可以包括控制阀137和控制阀138。控制阀137导通时,第一进液管路41中的制动液,可以由液压缸133经第一进液管路41,流向第一组车轮121的制动轮缸。控制阀138导通时,第二进液管路42中的制动液,可以由液压缸133经第二进液管路42,流向第二组车轮122的制动轮缸。在控制阀137断开时,从液压缸133流出的制动液,被控制阀137阻断,无法流向制动回路供应管路171;在控制阀138断开时,液压缸133与制动回路供应管路172不相通。
示例性地,该主增压模块130中还可以包括传感器以监测主压力提供装置的工作状态。例如,该主增压模块130也可以包括电机位置传感器139,以监测电机132的工作状态。又例如,液压缸133与控制阀137和/或控制阀138之间的制动管路中,可以设置有压力传感器,以监测液压缸133对该制动管路内制动液的压力调节状况。
应理解,第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42可以随着主压力提供装置的形式而变化。例如,在液压缸133设置有两个压力出端口时,第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42可以分别与上述两个压力出端口相连,如图1所示。又例如,在该液压缸133设置有一个压力出端口时,第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42可以共用部分的制动管路。又例如,在上述第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42的共用管路中,可以设置控制阀,也可以设置压力传感器等。
示例性地,在制动主缸210的压力出端口所连通的制动管路中,可以设置控制阀,比如控制阀117和控制阀118。以控制阀117为例,在控制阀117导通时,制动主缸210可以与制动回路供应管路171连通;控制阀117断开时,从制动主缸210流出的制动液被控制阀117阻断,而无法流入制动回路供应管路171。上述控制阀117、118也可以称为“隔离阀”。
示例性地,可以根据制动力需求信息,确定为车轮施加的制动力信息。
一个实施例中,可以基于驾驶员对车辆的操纵,确定驾驶员的制动力需求信息。例如,可以根据制动踏板的行程,确定驾驶员的制动力需求信息。又例如,用户踩下制动踏板时,制动主缸210内的制动液会流向压力传感器154所在的制动管路,由此,可以根据压力传感器154所采集的制动液的压力,确定驾驶员的制动力需求信息。又例如,可以根据上述确定的驾驶员的制动力需求信息,确定为车轮施加的制动力信息。
又一个实施例中,可以根据车辆的运动状态和/或周边环境信息,确定制动力需求信息。例如,可以根据车辆的运行状态(比如轮速等)和/或周边环境信息,确定制动力需求信息,进而确定为各车轮施加的制动力,从而可以实现自动防抱死刹车***(antilock braking system,ABS)、自动紧急刹车(autonomous emergency braking,AEB)功能、自适应巡航控制(adaptive cruise control,ACC)功能、电子稳定控制***(electronic stability control system,ESC)、电子稳定控制程序(electronic stability program,ESP)、牵引力控制***(traction control system,TCS)等动力学功能中的一种或多种。

示例性地,图2是本申请实施例提供的一种辅制动子***的示意图。图2所示的辅制动子***200包括辅增压模块160。应理解,图2中功能与图1中功能相同的部件,使用了与图1相同的编号,具体功能可以参见上文描述。
辅增压模块160通过调节第三进液管路51内制动液的压力,可以调节施加在第一组车轮121上的制动力。辅增压模块160通过调节第四进液管路52内制动液的压力,可以调节施加在第二组车轮122上的制动力。
辅增压模块160可以包括压力提供装置。为了便于区分,该辅增压模块160中的压力提供装置,也可以称为辅压力提供装置。以下以制动主缸210为串联双腔式制动主缸为例,介绍上述辅增压模块160。
示例性地,该辅压力提供装置,可以包括柱塞泵(161、162),以及该柱塞泵的驱动装置,比如,电机163。例如,该电机163可以通过皮带、齿轮、链条等传动机构驱动柱塞泵161和162作动,经柱塞泵161和162加压后的制动液,可以分别经第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52,流向相应的制动轮缸。又例如,也可以通过两个独立的电机,分别驱动柱塞泵161和柱塞泵162。

示例性地,控制阀113可以用于连接第三进液管路51和储液装置101。类似地,第四进液管路52和储液装置101之间,可以设置有控制阀114。控制阀113、114导通时, 相应的第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52可以与储液装置101连通,上述进液管路中的制动液,可以分别经控制阀113、114流向储液装置101,从而实现管路内制动液压力的下降。因此,上述控制阀113、114也可以称为“减压阀”、“泄压阀”。
示例性地,控制阀115可以用于连接制动主缸210和柱塞泵161。类似地,制动主缸210与柱塞泵162之间,可以设置有控制阀116。以控制阀115为例,在控制阀115断开时,从制动主缸210流出的制动液,被上述控制阀115阻断,无法流向柱塞泵161的压力入端口。在控制阀115导通时,从制动主缸210流出的制动液,可以经控制阀115流向柱塞泵161,由柱塞泵161加压后的制动液,可以经第三进液管路51流向第一组车轮121的制动轮缸。

上述第三制动管路51可以包括第一进液支路31和第二进液支路32,上述第四制动管路52可以包括第三进液支路33和第四进液支路34。上述4条进液支路的连接方式,进液阀与出液阀的配置方式,可以参照图1的介绍。
应理解,以上关于辅增压模块160的描述仅为示例,本申请实施例对辅增压模块的具体形式不做限定。例如,在制动主缸210只设置有一个压力出端口(比如,压力出端口21)时,在辅增压模块160中,可以只包含一个柱塞泵(比如,柱塞泵161),以及对应的控制阀(113、115、213)。相应地,第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52可以共用部分管路,比如制动管路173。
下文结合图3介绍本申请实施例的制动***。图3是本申请实施例提供的一种制动***的示意图,图3所示制动***300可以包括主制动子***和辅制动子***,制动***300所包括的主制动子***可以理解为是对图1所示主制动子***100的扩展或变形,所包括的辅制动子***可以理解为是对图2所示主制动子***200的扩展或变形。应理解,图3中与图1和/或图2功能相同的部件,使用了与图1和/或图2相同的编号,其具体功能可以参照上文描述。
示例性地,图3所示制动***300中,在由主增压模块130为车轮提供制动力时,可以控制隔离阀117、118处于断开状态,由此,从液压缸133流出的制动液,可以通过第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42,分别流向相应的第一组车轮121的制动轮缸(17、18) 和第二组车轮122的制动轮缸(19、20)。在由辅增压模块160为车轮提供制动力时,可以控制隔离阀117和118处于导通状态,由此,经柱塞泵(161、162)加压后的制动液,可以通过第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52,分别流向相应的第一组车轮121的制动轮缸(17、18)和第二组车轮122的制动轮缸(19、20)。
也就是说,主制动子***和辅制动子***可以通过调节制动回路供应管路(171、172)中制动液的压力,进而调节各制动轮缸内制动液的压力。
示例性地,在制动***300中,第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42中部分的制动管路可以共用。如图3所示,在该共用的制动管路中可以设置压力传感器135,以监测经主压力提供装置加压后的制动液的压力,还可以在该共用的制动管路中设置控制阀134。

又一个实施例中,主制动子***和辅制动子***可以属于不同的分区。例如,如图3所示,分区204可以包括主制动子***中的装置,分区2可以包括辅制动子***中的装置。
例如,ECU1可以获取压力传感器(154、134)所采集的制动液压力;ECU1可以实现对于控制阀(117、118、134、137、138),以及进液阀(9、10、11、12)等的控制;ECU1可以用于控制电机132作动;ECU1可以获取电机位置传感器139所采集的信息。由此,ECU1可以实现对于主制动子***中的装置的控制。
又例如,ECU2可以用于获取压力传感器218所采集的制动液压力;ECU2可以获取制动踏板行程传感器219所感测的踏板行程;ECU2可以控制控制阀213、214、113、114、115、116、216等作动;ECU2可以控制电机163作动。从而ECU2可以实现对于辅制动子***200中的装置的控制。
示例性地,该多个电子控制单元可以进行信息交互。例如,上述ECU1可以确定为车轮施加的制动力信息,并向ECU2发送该制动力信息,从而该ECU2可以根据该制动力信息,控制辅增压模块160作动。又例如,上述ECU2可以向ECU1发送压力传感器218、制动踏板行程传感器219所采集的信息,由此该ECU1可以获取驾驶员的制动力需求信息。
应理解,图3所示分区202和分区204仅为示例,还可以有其他的划分方式,比如,控制阀152、踏板感觉模拟器151也可以是属于分区204,本申请实施例对于分区的划分方式不做限定。
上文结合图1至图3介绍了制动***中各元件之间的连接方式,下文结合图4至图8介绍制动***的多种工作方式。需要说明的是,本申请对该制动***的工作模式的优先级不做具体限定。
在多种的工作模式中,不同模式下的部分功能的实现可能是相同的。例如,不同模式下确定制动力需求信息的方式可能是相同的。又例如,不同模式下,可能通过控制进液阀 和/或出液阀,实现制动轮缸中的制动液压力的调节。因此,为了简洁,下文将制动***的实现的功能划分为以下几种场景分别进行介绍。
假设,在制动***300中,进液阀(9、10、11、12)为常开阀,出液阀(13、14、15、16)为常闭阀,隔离阀(213、214、117、118)为常开阀,控制阀(113、114、115、116、152、134、137、138)为常闭阀,控制阀216为常开阀。
场景一,驾驶员制动模式下,制动***300的工作过程以及冗余方案。
在驾驶员制动模式下,隔离阀117和118处于断开状态,控制阀152处于导通状态,制动***300中的其他控制阀可以保持上述默认状态。
当驾驶员踩下制动踏板215,从制动主缸210中流出的制动液流入制动管路173和174,由于隔离阀(117、118)处于断开状态,制动液被隔离阀(117、118)阻断,导致制动管路173和174内的制动液的压力升高。由于控制阀152导通,制动管路174中的制动液可以通过控制阀152流向踏板感觉模拟器151。
示例性地,确定驾驶员的制动力需求信息的方式有多种。例如,根据压力传感器154所采集的制动液的压力、压力传感器218所采集的制动液的压力,和制动踏板行程传感器219所检测的踏板行程中的至少一项,可以计算驾驶员的制动力需求。就确定制动力需求信息而言,踏板行程传感器219、压力传感器154、压力传感器218所采集的数据,可以互相作为冗余备份,由此,踏板行程传感器219、压力传感器154、压力传感器218可以称为“冗余传感器”。
相应地,可以根据制动力需求信息,通过制动***300中的主制动子***为车轮提供制动力。
一个实施例中,在增压过程中,控制控制阀134、137和138处于导通状态。根据制动力需求信息,控制电机132驱动液压缸133压缩制动液。由液压缸133流出的制动液,可以通过第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42,分别流向第一组车轮121和第二组车轮122的制动轮缸。制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图4。
又一个实施例中,在完成增压过程后,可以进入保压过程。可以控制隔离阀(137、138)处于断开状态,制动***300内的其他控制阀保持状态不变。同时,还可以控制电机132停止作动。
又一个实施例中,当驾驶员松开制动踏板215时,可以进入减压过程。踏板感觉模拟器151中的制动液,可以由控制阀152反向回流至制动主缸210,通过控制电机132驱动液压缸133反向工作,制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)中制动液的压力可以大于液压缸133中制动液的压力,制动液可以由制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)经进液阀(9、10、11、12)返回液压缸133。
可选地,在减压过程中,也可以控制隔离阀(117、118)处于导通状态,使制动液由制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)流向制动主缸210,进而由制动主缸210可以流向储液装置101。
可选地,在需要快速减压时,也可以进一步打开出液阀(13、14、15、16),使制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)流向出液管路110,进而回流至储液装置101。
应理解,上述确定制动力需求信息的方案,不会直接影响ABS、AEB、ACC、TCS和ESC等动力学功能的实现。在需要控制单个制动轮缸作动,以实现上述动力学功能时, 可以控制主制动子***中的进液阀和/或出液阀,以实现单个制动轮缸的增压、保压、减压操作。
以下结合图5至图7介绍该场景下,主制动子***中的装置出现故障时的冗余方案。
冗余方案一,在主制动子***中的第一传感器故障时,可以根据辅制动子***中的第二传感器获取制动力需求信息。并根据该制动力需求信息,控制主制动子***中处于正常状态的装置作动。
其中,第一传感器,包括主制动子***中用于获取驾驶员的制动力需求信息的传感器,比如,压力传感器154。第二传感器,包括辅制动子***中用于获取驾驶员制动力需求信息的传感器,比如,压力传感器218、制动踏板行程传感器219。
示例性地,以ECU1控制分区202,ECU2控制分区204为例,ECU1与ECU2可以进行信息交互。在确定压力传感器154故障时,根据压力传感器218和/或制动踏板行程传感器219所采集的数据,ECU2可以确定的制动力需求信息,控制电磁阀134、137和138导通,控制电机132驱动液压缸133作动,调节制动轮缸中的制动液的压力,从而为车轮提供制动力。该冗余方案下,制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图4。
在该冗余方案下,在主制动子***中的第一传感器故障时,基于辅制动子***中的第二传感器所获取的驾驶员的制动力需求信息,控制主制动子***作动,能够利用主制动子***中的进液阀和/或出液阀,以保障ABS、TCS、ESP和ESC等动力学功能的正常运行,从而可以充分利用制动***中处于正常状态的装置,以较低的成本提升制动的安全性。
冗余方案二,在主制动子***中的主增压模块130故障时,可以由辅制动子***中的辅增压模块160调节第一段管路内制动液的压力。结合主制动子***中的进液阀和/或出液阀,以及第一段管路内制动液的压力,调节制动轮缸内的制动液的压力。
其中,第一段管路,可以包括进液阀与主增压模块间的进液管路,在进液阀处于导通状态时,该第一段管路与制动轮缸连通。例如,以进液阀9为例,该第一段管路可以包括制动管路1和制动回路供应管路171,也可以包括隔离阀137的压力出端口与制动回路供应管路171的压力入端口之间的制动管路。又例如,以进液阀12为例,该第一段管路可以包括制动管路4和制动回路供应管路172,也可以包括隔离阀138的压力出端口与制动回路供应管路172的压力入端口之间的制动管路。
主增压模块130可以包括主压力提供装置和第一控制阀。第一控制阀用于连接主压力提供装置和第一段管路。在第一控制阀处于导通状态时,主压力提供装置用于调节第一段管路内的制动液的压力。主增压模块130还可以包括第三传感器,第三传感器可以用于感测主压力提供装置的运行状态。例如,以图3为例,对进液阀9而言,第一控制阀可以包括控制阀134和137。又例如,第三传感器可以包括电机位置传感器139,也可以包括压力传感器135。又例如,主压力提供装置,可以包括电机132、液压缸133。
主增压模块130故障,可以指上述主压力提供装置、第一控制阀和第三传感器中的至少一项装置处于故障状态。
示例性地,以ECU1控制分区202,ECU2控制分区204为例。在主增压模块130故障时,ECU1可以接收来自ECU2的制动力信息,进而可以控制隔离阀213和214处于断开状态,控制阀115和116处于导通状态,可以控制隔离阀117和118处于导通状态。从柱塞泵161和162流出的制动液,可以分别通过第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52,经 过制动回路供应管路(171、172),流向制动轮缸(17、18、19、20),以此调节施加于车轮的制动力。可以由ECU2控制进液阀和/或出液阀作动,以实现对于单个制动轮缸的控制。从而可以实现ABS、AEB、ACC、TCS和ESC等动力学功能的顺利运行,以保障制动安全性。该冗余方案下,制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图5。
在该冗余方案下,在主制动子***中的主增压模块130故障时,通过辅制动子***中的辅增压模块160调节第一段管路内制动液的压力。结合主制动子***中的进液阀和/或出液阀,调节制动轮缸中制动液的压力,能够充分利用制动***中处于正常状态的装置,以较低的成本提升制动的安全性。
冗余方案三,在主制动子***中的进液阀和/或出液阀故障时,可以由主增压模块130调节第一段管路内制动液的压力。
示例性地,以故障装置为进液阀9为例。假设进液阀9为常开阀,进液阀9由于故障而无法正常关闭。通过主增压模块130和控制阀137、138,可以分别调节制动回路供应管路171和172内制动液的压力。在该进液阀9处于导通状态时,制动轮缸17内的制动液的压力,可以随着制动回路供应管路171内制动液压力的变化而变化。该冗余方案下,制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图4。
由于进液阀和/或出液阀故障,可能无法实现对于单个制动轮缸的控制,因此可能会影响到动力学功能的实现。
一个实施例中,在需要实现ABS、TCS和ESC等动力学功能时,可以控制进液阀(9、10、11、12)都处于导通状态,使得制动轮缸17、18,和制动轮缸19、20中的制动液的压力,可以分别随着制动回路供应管路171和172内的制动液压力的调节而变化。从而通过分别调节制动回路供应管路171和172内制动液的压力,可以分别调节施加在第一组车轮121和第二组车轮122上的制动力,以实现ABS、TCS和ESC等动力学功能的降级使用。
又一个实施例中,通过主增压模块130调节制动回路供应管路171和172内制动液的压力,结合处于正常状态的进液阀和/或出液阀,也可以实现对于部分制动轮缸的单独控制。
示例性地,以故障装置为出液阀13为例。假设该出液阀13为常闭阀,出液阀13由于故障而无法正常开启。
一个实施例中,可以控制进液阀都处于导通状态,出液阀都处于断开状态,使得制动轮缸17、18,和制动轮缸19、20中的制动液的压力,可以分别随着制动回路供应管路171和172内的制动液压力的调节而变化。
又一个实施例中,以出液阀13故障为例,也可以结合其他处于正常状态的进液阀和/或出液阀,实现对于部分制动轮缸的单独控制。
在该冗余方案下,在故障装置包括进液阀,且该进液阀处于导通状态时,和/或,故障装置包括出液阀,且该出液阀处于断开状态时,通过控制主增压模块130调节第一段管路内制动液的压力,进而调节制动轮缸内制动液的压力。能够充分利用制动***中处于正常状态的装置,实现动力学功能的降级使用,以较低的成本提升制动的安全性。
冗余方案四,主制动子***的控制单元故障时,可以通过辅制动子***调节制动轮缸内制动液的压力。
示例性地,主制动子***的控制单元(比如,上述ECU2)故障时,辅制动子***的控制单元(比如ECU1),可以控制隔离阀213和214处于断开状态,控制阀115和116处于导通状态。通过控制辅制动子***中的辅增压模块160作动,从柱塞泵161和162流出的制动液,可以分别通过第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52,流向第一组车轮121和第二组车轮122的制动轮缸。通过减压阀113和114,可以分别调节第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52中的制动液的压力。在该冗余方案下,制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图5。
在该冗余方案中,通过第三进液管路51和第四进液管路52,分别调节第一组车轮121和第二组车轮122的制动轮缸的压力,可以实现ABS、TCS和ESC等动力学功能的降级使用。
场景二,主动制动模式下,制动***300的工作过程以及冗余制动方案。
与场景一中介绍的驾驶员制动模式下的主动增压方案相似,制动***可以通过主制动子***进行制动。与场景一种介绍的驾驶员制动模式的区别在于,主动制动模式下可以不需要驾驶员操纵制动踏板215。
示例性地,在主动制动模式下,根据车辆的运动状态和/或周边环境信息,可以确定制动力需求信息,进而控制主制动子***调节制动轮缸内制动液的压力。
一个实施例中,在增压过程中,控制隔离阀117和118处于断开状态,控制阀134、137和138处于导通状态,其他控制阀保存上述默认状态。通过控制电机132驱动液压缸133压缩制动液,由液压缸133流出的制动液,通过第一进液管路41和第二进液管路42,可以流向制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)。制动***300中制动液的增压路径可以参照图6。
一个实施例中,在保压过程中,可以控制控制阀137和138处于断开状态,控制电机132停止作动。也可以控制控制阀134处于断开状态。
一个实施例中,在减压过程中,液压缸133可以在电机132的驱动下反向工作,制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)中的制动液可以经进液阀(9、10、11、12)返回液压缸133。一些可能的实现方式中,还可以进一步打开出液阀(13、14、15、16),使得制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)中的制动液通过出液管路110,流向至储液装置101。
示例性地,在需要控制单个制动轮缸作动时,可以通过该制动轮缸的进液阀和/或出液阀,实现该单个制动轮缸的增压、保压、减压操作。
应理解,该主动制动模式下的冗余方案,与驾驶员制动模式下的冗余方案相比,其本质相同,由此,可以参照驾驶员制动模式下的冗余方案。
一个实施例中,由于主动制动模式下,用户可以不需要操纵制动踏板215,可以根据车辆的运动状态和/或周边环境信息,获取制动力需求信息。在主制动子***中的第一传感器故障时,可以根据上述获取的制动力需求信息,通过主增压模块130、进液阀和/或出液阀,调节制动轮缸内制动液的压力。
又一个实施例中,在主制动子***中的主增压模块130故障时,可以控制隔离阀213和214处于断开状态,制动***中的其他控制阀处于默认状态。通过辅制动子***中的辅增压模块160调节制动回路供应管路(171、172)中的制动液的压力,结合进液阀和/或出液阀,调节制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)内的制动液的压力。
又一个实施例中,在主制动子***中的进液阀10因故障而无法关闭时,可以通过主 增压模块130调节分别调节制动回路供应管路171和172中的制动液的压力。通过控制进液阀处于导通状态,可以实现ABS、AEB、TCS、ESC等动力学功能的降级使用。
又一个实施例中,在ECU2故障时,比如ECU2由于掉电等原因无法控制主制动子***时,可以由ECU1控制隔离阀213、214处于断开状态,制动***中的其他控制阀处于上述默认状态。通过辅制动子***中的辅增压模块160调节制动轮缸(17、18、19、20)中制动液的压力。通过该方式也可以实现ABS、AEB、TCS等动力学功能的降级使用,可以提升制动的安全性。
又一个实施例中,在主制动子***中的踏板感觉模拟模块故障时,由于主动制动模式下,隔离阀117和118处于断开状态,用户无需操纵制动踏板,踏板感觉模拟模块故障不会直接影响到主制动子***的作动。可以基于由车辆的运动状态和/或周边环境信息所获取的制动力需求信息,通过主增压模块130、进液阀和/或出液阀,为车轮提供制动力。
场景三,人力制动的冗余备份方案。在主制动子***无法工作,而且辅制动子***也故障时,可以通过人工制动的方式调节制动轮缸内制动液的压力。
示例性地,制动***中的所有控制阀均处于默认状态,驾驶员踩下制动踏板215,制动主缸210将制动液压入制动管路173和174,制动液通过进液阀(9、10、11、12)流入制动轮缸(17、18、19、20),实现制动功能。制动***中制动液的增压路径可以参照图7所示。
