由於轉向系統本身有摩擦力矩,所以在轉向過彎後,方向盤無法完全回正至 中心位置。為了解決上述問題,本文提出一個線性平方調整法來設計電動輔助轉 向系統的回正控制策略,利用干擾估測器進行轉向角速度與干擾力矩的估測,將 轉角量測值與轉向角速度估測值用來進行全階回授控制,並利用干擾力矩估測值 進行前饋補償。本文利用CarSim 的車輛動態模型,配合轉向柱旋轉動態模型, 來評估回正控制之性能。本文先建構一實驗平台,以便進行硬體在迴路中的驗 證,最後利用搭載電動輔助轉向系統的實車進行驗證。模擬與實驗結果顯示,本 文所提出的回正控制可以提升低速時的回正能力,並可達到高速時的阻尼補償效 果。
Friction torque which exists in the steering system might make the steering wheel unable to return to its center position after negotiating a turn. In order to solve this problem, we employed the linear quadratic regulator to design the return control strategy. A disturbance estimator is designed to estimate the angular velocity of the steering wheel and the disturbance torque. The angle measurement and angular velocity estimation are used for full state feedback. The estimated disturbance torque is used for feedforward compensation. CarSim and the rotational dynamics of the steering wheel are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed control. An EPS experimental platform was established for hardware-in-the-loop verification. Road test is also conducted using a production vehicle with EPS. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control can not only improve the returnability but also achieving damping compensation at the same time.
