Description
Steer-by-wire steering system with absolute rack position sensor
The present invention relates to a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
In an electromechanical power steering mechanism a steering shaft is connected to a steering wheel for operation by the driver. The steering shaft is coupled to a steering rack via a gear pinion. Steering rack rods are connected to the steering rack and to steered wheels of the motor vehicle. A rotation of the steering shaft causes an axial displacement of the steering rack by means of the gear pinion which is connected to the steering shaft in a torque-proof manner. Assist force is applied to a steering mechanism by driving an electric motor. In electromechanical power steering mechanism the absolute rack position can be measured via a multi-turn steering wheel angle sensor or with a sleep-mode rotor angle sensor which is turned on periodically to detect and count the rotation of the electric motor's rotor. A disadvantage of sleep mode rotor angle sensors is that the absolute rack position information is lost if the battery is disconnected from the system's electronic control unit (ECU). The reinitialization of the rack position can be done either based on the road wheel speed read from the communication network in the ECU or via an additional index sensor placed on the pinion.
In steer-by-wire systems there is no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steering rack and the steerable wheels and steering
movement is achieved by an electrically controlled motor. A steering actuator operates in response to detected values of various steering parameters, such as steering wheel angle and vehicle speed etc. The detected values are communicated electronically to the steering actuator from sensors, whereby the steering actuator drives the rack and orients the steerable wheels in the desired direction. As a result, loosing the absolute rack position is very dangerous, because the rack could be at any position. In order to determine the absolute rack position a complete lock-to-lock rotation of the steering wheel is required, which could take longer than allowed and may not be allowed at all, because it can lead to undesired movement of the vehicle. One solution to provide absolute rack position information at all time is usage of a linear position sensor at the rack, but this solution is expensive and therefore not desired .
It is an object of the present invention to provide a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle with a cost-effective absolute rack position sensor.
This object is achieved by a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle having the features of claim 1.
Accordingly, a steer-by-wire steering system of a motor vehicle comprising a steering rack, a steering actuator which drives the rack in longitudinal direction, wherein the steering actuator comprises an electric motor and an electronic control unit (ECU), and an absolute rack position sensor is provided, wherein the absolute rack position sensor comprises a sensor with fixed orientation to the rack housing which reads rack position markers arranged longitudinally on the rack, wherein each rack position marker encodes a number of bits, wherein all possible sequential subarrays with a predefined length are unique, so that each sequential subarray clearly defines an absolute rack position.
The numbers are picked pseudo-random. Each sequential subarray occurs only once within the array. This sensor presents a low-cost and easy possibility to measure the absolute rack position.
It is preferred, that the rack position markers encode a single binary digit, which is easy to realize.
The zero digits of the array or the one digits of the array are preferably formed by holes in the rack. Preferably, the diameter of the holes lies in a range between 0.5 mm and 10 mm, which allows for sufficient position resolution.
In a preferred embodiment, a second sensor is arranged with a fixed distance in longitudinal direction to the sensor to read the rack positions markers, as well. This way the necessary rack travel to recover the absolute rack position can be reduced.
It is favorable, that the predefined length is in a range between 4 bits and 10 bits for sufficient position resolution.
Preferably, the sensor is a low cost magnetic or inductive sensor.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawing .
Figure 1 shows a schematic illustration of a rack 1 with an absolute rack position sensor 2 according to the present invention. The rack 1 is driven by an electric motor 3 which is connected to a ball screw 4 arranged on the rack
1 via a belt drive 5. Rotation of the ball screw 4 leads to axial displacement of the rack 1. An electronic control unit (ECU) 6 controlling the electric motor 3 is mounted on the electric motor 3. Further, a rotor angle sensor 7 is arranged between the electric motor 3 and the ECU 6. The absolute rack position sensor
2 is composed of a sensor 8 and rack position markers 9 on the rack 1. The sensor 8 preferably transmits the information digitally to the ECU 6. The rack position markers 9 are encoded in an array of bits 10, which can be formed directly on the rack 1, for example with holes representing zero, or a suitable track can be glued on or mounted onto the rack.
The sensor 8 is preferably a low cost magnetic or inductive sensor. When the rack 1 is moving longitudinally, the sensor 8 scans the marked surface of the
rack 1 in order to continuously read the absolute rack position off the rack position markers 9.
The rack position markers 9 are encoded longitudinally onto the rack 1 in a pseudo-random fashion. The rack position markers 9 can be encoded either binary or multi valued (for more dense information encoding). Figure 1 shows an example of binary encoding with the following binary array: 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0. The encoding is done in such a way, that any 4 bit long sequential subarray scanned by the position sensor is unique and fully identifies the current position.
The 4-bit-long sequential subarrays are (in parentheses the decimal value of the 4-bit-string is given) :
The 4-bit-subarrays are all unique. After reading four complete bits it is possible to determine the position inside the array. DThe combination 0000 is missing in the table above. It can be added to the array, if necessary.
Monitoring the edges of the bits and estimation of their middle can increase the resolution of the absolute rack position sensor 2.
Figure 1 shows one encoding example. The table below shows further examples for an assumed rack travel of 150 mm. It shows the minimal required rack travel to read the absolute position and the required rack travel to read the necessary number of bits plus one to take into account, that the starting position may not be at the start of a bit.
Array length Minimal number Hole size [mm] Necessary rack travel [bits] of bits read for (rounded to the for absolute position absolute position next 50 prn) determination (ideal determination case and + 1 bit
[bits] case) [mm]
18 4 8.35 4bits*8.35 mm/bit=
33.4 mm (22,3%) 5bits*8.35 mm/bit= 41.75 mm (27.8%)
35 5 4.3 5bits* 4.3 mm/bit=
21.5 mm (14.3%) 6bits*4.3 mm/bit= 25.8 mm (17.2%)
68 6 2.2 6bits*2.2 mm/bit=
13.2 mm (8.8%) 7bits* 2.2 mm/bit= 15.4 mm (10.3%)
133 7 1.15 7bits* 1.15 mm/bit=
8.05 mm (5.4%) 8bits*1.15
mm/bit=9.2mm (6.1%)
262 8 0.6 8bits*0.6mm/bit=4.8 mm (3.2%)
9bits*0.6mm/bit=5.4 mm (3.6%)
With increasing array length the necessary movement of the rack for absolute position determination decreases, however hole diameters around or less than 1 mm may not be feasible. For these bit sizes the array has to be
manufactured differently, for example as a magnetic strip, which can then be glued to the rack.
The absolute rack position sensor 2 allows instant position recovery. After
reinitialization only a small movement of the rack is necessary to recover the position value. If this is possible the rotor angle sensor does not need to be equipped with a sleep-mode functionality.
If the rotor angle sensor is, however, equipped with a sleep-mode, the linear position of the rack can be calculated via a rotor turn count provided by the rotor angle sensor. Din case the rotor turn counter value is lost (for example due to a disconnected battery) the rack position can be reinitialized by reading a few bits from the encoding on the surface of the rack by the absolute rack position sensor 2. This way it is not necessary to have a complete lock-to-lock steering to recover the rack position information. Additionally, the absolute rack position sensor allows crosschecking the actual rotor turn counter value. In another embodiment multiple sensors on the same track are used to reduce the necessary rack travel for absolute position determination and/or to increase the automotive safety level of the absolute rack position sensor. For example by using two sensors reading the same array of rack position markers, it is possible to approximately halve the required movement of the rack for absolute position determination. In this case, however, the array should be as long as the rack movement plus the (largest) distance between the sensors, so that none of the sensors gets out of the usable rack position marker range. For example, if the rack travel is 150 mm and the sensors are 10.8 mm apart, the marker (hole) size is 2.4 mm (6 bits to be read to recover the position information), then worst case both sensors have to read 3.5 bits, so after 8.4 mm rack movement the absolute rack position information can be determined . The distance between the sensors equals 4.5 bits. Thus, it is not needed for each sensor to read 4 bits (8 bits in total) because the starting position is not at a bit edge. With a movement of 3.5 bits at least 6 complete bits will be read, making it possible to recover the absolute position
information.
