摘要:
An electrohydraulic brake system where brake pressure is controlled by the combined action of an apply valve and a dump valve by the implementation of a method of controlling the voltage applied to the apply and dump valve. The EHB pressure control system receives a desired wheel pressure command and, with a caliper pressure feedback signal, implements an algorithm to compute one voltage command for the apply valve and another for the dump valve, corresponding to a requested flow from the hydraulics. The voltage command drives current control electronics. The electronics in turn power the solenoids of the proportional apply and dump poppet valves to control flow in or out of the brakes and modulate wheel pressure as required. Use of the algorithm to control the electromagnetic poppet valves achieves the commanded pressure at a vehicle's brakes reliably and with good control in all states of flow through the valve. The algorithm is a function of the existing pressure within the system and whether there is bulk or leakage flow through the valves.

A method of boundary self-adaptation for proportional poppet valve pressure control comprises implementing an estimator to estimate a boundary deviation of the valve. Then, a pressure command signal is detected. Next, a pressure command derivative over time is obtained. Then, determining which closing boundary should be updated is decided based on the sign of the pressure command derivative. Next, a pressure error is obtained by subtracting an actual wheel brake pressure from its pressure command. Then a modified pressure error is calculated. Next, a pressure command signal is evaluated to determine whether a braking maneuver is gentle. Next, the modified pressure error is implemented in the estimation. Finally, a boundary table is updated using the resultant boundary deviation estimate.

A method for adapting a closing boundary for a proportional spool valve includes generating or detecting a pressure command signal. Next a pressure error is obtained by subtracting an actual wheel brake pressure from its pressure command. Then a modified pressure error is calculated a modified pressure error is calculated in such a way that steady state pressure errors resulting from mismatched feedforward term, control deadzone and other factors are subtracted from measured pressure error to leave the only error to be that due to boundary deviation. An estimator is then used to estimate an apply boundary deviation or a release boundary deviation of the spool valve, as appropriate. A boundary table is updated using the resultant boundary deviation estimate.

Vehicle properties are determined by providing both actual and real-time data of the tires to the vehicle control system. The data includes both static and dynamic tire data. The properties are determined by the following steps: a) putting a vehicle in motion, the vehicle being provided with a set of tires and a vehicle control system wherein at least one tire has means to communicate with the vehicle control system and the vehicle control system has a processor, a vehicle observer, and a preprogrammed vehicle model; b) sending either static or dynamic tire information from the tire to the vehicle control system via the tire communication means; and c) estimating a vehicle property using the received tire information.

摘要:
A method of controlling pressure in a fluid system having a source of pressurized fluid for which a maximum desired fluid pressure value has been determined, a hydraulic load, an apply valve controlling pressurized fluid flow between the source and the load, and a release valve permitting fluid flow from the load to a low pressure reservoir. Pressure is controlled at the hydraulic load by at least one of closing the release valve and opening the apply valve to increase pressure at the hydraulic load, and by at least one of closing the apply valve and opening the release valve to reduce pressure at the hydraulic load. Simultaneously, pressure of the source of pressurized fluid is limited by opening both the apply valve and the release valve from the positions required to control pressure at the hydraulic load a sufficient amount to permit pressurized fluid from the source of pressurized fluid to flow through the apply valve and the release valve to the low pressure reservoir at a flow rate sufficient to limit pressure of the source of pressurized fluid to less than the maximum desired fluid pressure value.
