  In a conventional steering apparatus such as EPS in which the shaft between the tie rods and the steering wheel are mechanically connected, the frictional force in the mechanism is directly felt as a steering reaction force. On the other hand, the steer-by-wire has a problem that the friction in the mechanism portion is small and the initial steering reaction force is less responsive when the handle starts to be turned from the neutral position. In the steer-by-wire, when trying to generate a frictional force by control, since it is a non-linear element whose sign is inverted depending on the steering direction, it is difficult to reproduce a steering reaction force that is always stable and has no sense of incongruity.

  In Patent Document 2, friction is mechanically applied to the steering wheel. However, in this method, an offset occurs in the return position when the hand is released, and the vehicle may flow in a single direction. In Patent Document 3, the gain of the steering reaction force is increased in a region where the steering angle is small. However, this method tends to generate vibrations around the neutral position. In Patent Document 4, in order to prevent an offset of the return position at the time of releasing, by multiplying the provisional target friction reaction force by the larger one of the first coefficient based on the steering angle and the second coefficient based on the steering angular velocity, The target friction reaction force is set to zero when the hand is released in the neutral position. However, the steering reaction force at the start of cutting from the neutral position is less responsive.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to ensure a good response when the steering wheel starts to be turned from the neutral position, while preventing vibration around the neutral position, and at the time of releasing. Make the return position as neutral as possible.

The steer-by-wire steering reaction force control device according to the present invention includes a steering angle sensor 5 that detects a steering angle with respect to a steering wheel 3 that is not mechanically connected to the steering tie rod shaft 2, and a steering reaction force. A steering reaction force motor 4 is provided, and based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor 5, a command signal for the turning angle is combined with a driving state detection signal from another sensor 15 mounted on the vehicle. In the steer-by-wire type steering apparatus having the steering control means 12 that controls the steering motor 7 of the steering mechanism 6 that generates and drives the shaft 2 between the tie rods, the steering direction and the direction of the steering reaction force are different. A steering reaction force control unit 14 that determines that the input is the reverse input in the case of the positive input and the same direction and controls the steering reaction force of the steering reaction force motor 4 according to the normal / reverse is provided.

  According to this configuration, the steering reaction force control unit 14 determines whether the input to the steering mechanism 6 is normal or reverse from the steering direction and the direction of the steering reaction force. When the steering direction and the direction of the steering reaction force are different, it is determined that the input is positive, and when the direction is the same, the input is determined to be reverse. The steering reaction force of the steering reaction force motor 74 is controlled in accordance with the normal / reverse direction. For example, when the transmission efficiency between the forward input and the reverse input of the steering mechanism 6 is different, the steering reaction force is accurately estimated by changing the coefficient used for the steering reaction force estimation between the normal input and the reverse input. be able to. As a result, it is possible to secure a good response when the steering wheel 3 is started to be cut from the neutral position, and to prevent the vibration around the neutral position, and to set the return position when released to the neutral position as much as possible.

Further, there are provided steering reaction force detection means 18 , 18A for detecting the steering reaction force acting on the steering mechanism 6, and a steering direction detection means 19 for detecting the steering direction, and the steering reaction force detection means 18 is provided. , 18A estimate the turning reaction force from the torque of the turning motor 7 and the amount of turning displacement according to a predetermined estimation formula , and the steering reaction force control unit 14 uses the turning reaction force as a reference value. The steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 that calculates the target value of the steering reaction force of the steering reaction force motor 4 according to a predetermined rule, and the steering direction detected by the steering direction detection means 18 and 18A are the steering reaction force. An input normal / reverse determination unit 21 that determines a positive input when different from the direction of the steering reaction force detected by the force detection means 18 and 18A, and a reverse input when the direction is the same, and the input normal / reverse determination unit 21 The steering target value calculation unit 17 determines whether the determination result is normal or reverse. And a forward-reverse process section 22 for changing the content of operation.
Further, the steering reaction force control unit 14 sets the coefficient of the viscosity term added to the steering reaction force target value to a value larger than that in the case of a positive input when the determination result of the input normal / reverse determination unit is a reverse input. The
It is preferable that the steering reaction force control unit 14 sets the coefficient of the viscosity term to be smaller as the turning reaction force is larger.
In the case of reverse input, by setting the coefficient of the viscosity term to be larger than that in the case of positive input, it is possible to suppress vibration around the neutral position and to prevent the feeling of strangeness that the steering reaction force at the time of positive input becomes too large. it can.

  The steering direction detecting means 19 may be the steering angle sensor 5. That is, the steering direction used for the determination by the input forward / reverse determination unit 21 may be obtained from the steering angle sensor 5.

Before Symbol forward-reverse process section 22, the positive input or reverse input, which is determined by the input normal and reverse determination unit 21, may have a function of changing the coefficients for estimating the turning reaction force in the estimated equation .
When the transmission efficiency between the forward input and the reverse input of the steering mechanism 6 is different, the steering reaction force can be accurately estimated by changing the coefficient used for the steering reaction force estimation between the normal input and the reverse input. it can.

As a filter for passing the detection signal of the detected turning reaction force before Symbol turning reaction force detecting means 18, a change lowpass filter 26 of the cut-off frequency is provided, the resulting turning reaction through this low-pass filter 26 The steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 may use the force as a basic value of the target steering reaction force, that is, the provisional steering reaction force target value.

In the case of this configuration, the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter 26 is preferably set high when the steering reaction force is large and low when the steering reaction force is small.
The estimated turning reaction force is passed through a low-pass filter 26 that can change the cutoff frequency, and a provisional steering reaction force target value is generated. When the estimated turning reaction force is small, the cut-off frequency is lowered, and when the estimated turning reaction force is large, the cut-off frequency is raised. As a result, it is possible to suppress vibration during hand release and to obtain a quick steering reaction force.

  Further, a cutoff frequency changing means 27 for changing the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter 26 by an input from the switching operation means 28 may be provided. As a result, the steering feeling can be changed according to the driver's preference.

In the present invention, the steering reaction force control unit 14 applies a friction component to the steering reaction force target value when the determination result of the input normal / reverse determination unit 21 is a positive input, and does not apply it when the input is a reverse input. It is good as a thing.
For example, the steering reaction force control unit 14 adds a friction term, a viscosity term, and an inertia term to the provisional steering reaction force target value to generate a steering reaction force target value. In this case, the friction component is applied only when the input is positive. Thereby, when the steering wheel is started to be turned from the neutral position, the friction component is quickly given, and it is possible to realize the responsiveness of the steering reaction force at the initial stage of steering. In the case of reverse input, no friction component is applied, so that there is no offset of the return position when releasing the hand.

  In this configuration, it is preferable that the steering reaction force control unit 14 sets the friction component to be smaller as the steering reaction force is larger.

The present invention is provided with a steering angle sensor that detects a steering angle and a steering reaction force motor that applies a steering reaction force to a steering wheel that is not mechanically connected to a shaft between tie rods for steering, and the steering Based on the steering angle detected by the angle sensor, a steering angle command signal is generated in combination with driving state detection signals from other sensors mounted on the vehicle, and the turning of the steering mechanism that drives the shaft between the tie rods is generated. In a steer-by-wire type steering apparatus having a steering control means for controlling a rudder motor, a positive input is determined when the steering direction and the direction of the steering reaction force are different, and a reverse input is determined when the direction is the same. A steering reaction force control unit for controlling the steering reaction force of the steering reaction force motor according to the steering reaction force detection means for detecting the turning reaction force acting on the turning mechanism, and detecting the steering direction Steering direction detection And means is provided, the turning reaction force detecting means, the torque and the steering displacement of the steering motor, estimates the turning reaction force according to the estimated equation defined, the steering reaction force control unit, the rolling as a reference value the steering reaction force, the steering and steering target value calculating section for calculating a target value of steering reaction force of the reaction force motor, the steering direction is the rolling detected by said steering direction detecting means in accordance with a constant order was rules When the direction of the steering reaction force detected by the rudder reaction force detecting means is different from the direction of the steering reaction force, the input normal / reverse determination unit determines that the input is normal, and the input is the reverse input when the direction is the same. And a forward / reverse response processing unit that changes the calculation content of the steering target value calculation unit according to the forward / reverse to be ensured a good response when starting to cut the handle from the neutral position, Neutralize return position as much as possible while preventing vibration It is possible to location.
Further, the steering reaction force control unit 14 sets the coefficient of the viscosity term to be added to the steering reaction force target value to a value larger than that in the case of positive input when the determination result of the input normal / reverse determination unit is reverse input. However, in the case of reverse input, by setting the coefficient of the viscosity term to be larger than that in the case of positive input, vibration around the neutral position can be suppressed and the steering reaction force at the time of positive input becomes too strange. Can be prevented.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a steer-by-wire type steering apparatus provided with a steering reaction force control apparatus according to this embodiment. The steering mechanism 1 includes a steering reaction force motor 4 that generates a steering reaction force against a steering wheel 3 that is not mechanically connected to the shaft 2 between tie rods for steering, and a steering angle sensor 5 that detects a steering angle. Is provided.

In addition, torque detecting means 9 such as an ammeter for detecting the torque of the turning motor 7 and a rotation angle detecting means 10 for detecting the rotation angle of the turning motor 7 are provided.

  The steering control means 12 is provided in an ECU (electric control unit) 11 that controls the entire automobile, and includes a steering control unit 13 and a steering reaction force control unit 14. The ECU 11 includes a computer, a program executed on the computer, and an electronic circuit. Based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor 5, the steering control unit 13 generates a steering angle command signal together with driving state detection signals from other sensors 15 mounted on the vehicle. It is means for controlling the steering motor 7 of the rudder mechanism 6. The other sensors 15 are, for example, a vehicle speed sensor or a sensor that detects a load acting on each wheel 16. The other sensors 15 may be one or plural, but here, one sensor 15 is shown as a representative.

  A specific example of the steering reaction force control unit 14 is shown in FIG. The steering reaction force control unit 14 basically calculates a steering reaction force target value Pa by a steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 according to a predetermined rule, and a motor control circuit (not shown) of the steering reaction force motor 4. 2). In this basic configuration, when the calculation by the steering target value calculation unit 17 is performed, when the steering direction and the direction of the steering reaction force are different, it is determined that the input is normal, and when the direction is the same, the reverse input is determined. Accordingly, the steering reaction force of the steering reaction force motor 4 is controlled.

  Specifically, a turning reaction force detecting means 18 for detecting a turning reaction force acting on the turning mechanism 6 (FIG. 1) and a steering direction detecting means 19 for detecting a steering direction are provided. The steering direction detection means 19 is the steering angle sensor 5 or the position sensor 8 of the steering mechanism 6.

  The steering reaction force control unit 14 includes a steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17, an input normal / reverse determination unit 21, and a normal / reverse correspondence processing unit 22. The steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 is a means for calculating the target value Pa of the steering reaction force of the steering motor 4 according to a predetermined rule. When the steering direction detected by the steering direction detection means 19 is different from the direction of the steering reaction force detected by the steering reaction force detection means 18, the input normal / reverse determination unit 21 is a normal input and the same direction. Is a means for determining reverse input. The forward / reverse response processing unit 22 is means for changing the calculation content by the steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 in accordance with the normal / reverse which is the determination result of the input normal / reverse determination unit 21.

The turning reaction force detection means 18 estimates the turning reaction force Fh from the torque of the turning motor and the amount of turning displacement according to a predetermined estimation formula, for example, the following formula (1). This equation (1) is obtained by converting the turning reaction force Fh into the torque Tm generated by the turning motor 7, the turning speed (differential value of the turning motor rotation angle θ), and the turning acceleration (the turning motor rotation angle θ). This is an equation calculated from the (second derivative value).

F _f : Steering mechanism friction component
A, I, c: coefficients
It is.

  The generated torque Tm of the steered motor 7 is obtained from the torque detecting means 9 of the steered motor 7, and the rotation angle θ of the steered motor 7 is obtained from the rotational angle detecting means 10. The torque Tm detected by the torque detection means 9 is input to the turning reaction force detection means 18 through a low-pass filter 23, removing high frequency components. If the steered motor torque Tm does not contain a high frequency component, the low pass filter 23 is not necessary.

The positive inverse correspondence processing unit 22, the positive input or reverse input, which is determined by the input normal and reverse determination unit 21, the coefficient estimates the turning reaction force F _h on the estimate equation (1) A, I, c , F _It has a function of changing _{f according} to a predetermined rule (not shown). The change of the coefficient may be to change any one of the coefficients A, I, c, and F _f , or to change any two or all of them.

The steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 includes a provisional steering reaction force target value calculation unit 24 and a separate addition unit 25, and the provisional steering reaction force target value Paa calculated by the provisional steering reaction force target value calculation unit 24. In addition, a separate item, which will be described later, is added by a separate item adding unit 25 to obtain a steering reaction force target value Pa.
The provisional steering reaction force target value calculation unit 24 has a low-pass filter 26 whose cutoff frequency can be changed, and the turning reaction force detected by the turning reaction force detection means 18 (the turning reaction force estimated value). The turning reaction force obtained by passing Fh through the low-pass filter 26 is set as a basic value of the target steering reaction force Pa, that is, the provisional steering reaction force target value Paa.
The calculation of the formula (1) by the turning reaction force detection means 18 is performed at 1 kHz (1 msec cycle), and the result (digital signal waveform) is a low-pass filter 26 with a variable cut-off frequency (the cut-off frequency is 30Hz ~ 0.5Hz). The low-pass filter 23 is also a software digital filter. For example, a microcomputer is used for these calculations.

Cut-off frequency of the cutoff frequency variable low-pass filter 26 may be a constant, but higher when turning reaction force F _h is large, it is preferable is set low when small. For example, the low-pass filter 26, to monitor the turning reaction force F _h inputted, the turning reaction force F
Cut-off frequency changing means 27 is provided for changing the cut-off frequency that is high when _h is large and low when _h is small. This change may be continuous or gradual.

The cutoff frequency changing unit 27 may change the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter 26 by an input from the switching operation unit 28. The switching operation means 28 is provided on, for example, a vehicle console or an exterior surface of an ECU. Cut-off frequency changing unit 27, a cut-off frequency, the switching can be changed by an input from the operation unit 28, and a cut-off frequency changing its further as described above by turning reaction force F _h input It may be changed.

  The separate item adding unit 25 adds the friction term, the viscosity term, and the inertia term to the temporary steering reaction force target value Paa calculated by the temporary steering reaction force target value calculation unit 24 to generate the steering reaction force target value Pa. The addition of the friction term, the viscosity term, and the inertia term by the separate term adding unit 25 is changed to the normal / reverse correspondence processing unit 22 according to the normal / reverse determination result of the input normal / reverse determination unit 21. The details of the change will be described later together with an explanation of the overall operation.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for calculating the steering reaction force target value Pa. First, as a signal reading process in step S1, the steering direction is detected by the steering direction detecting means 19 shown in FIG. As described above, the steering direction detection means 19 is the steering angle sensor 5 of the steering mechanism 1 or the position sensor 8 of the steering mechanism 6, and any of the steering directions may be detected.
Further, the torque Tm generated by the turning motor 7 is detected by the torque detecting means 9, and the turning speed and turning acceleration are detected by the rotation detecting means 10 and read into the turning reaction force detecting means 18. If the steered motor torque Tm contains a high-frequency component, the high-frequency component is removed by passing through the low-pass filter 23 (S2). The turning speed is a differential value of the turning motor rotation angle θ, the turning acceleration is a twice differential value of the turning motor rotation angle θ, and the turning detection unit 10 reads the turning motor rotation angle θ. The turning reaction force detecting means 18 calculates the turning speed and turning acceleration from the turning motor rotation angle θ.

The turning reaction force detecting means 18 generates the generated torque Tm, the turning speed (the differential value of the turning motor rotation angle θ), and the turning acceleration (the twice differential value of the turning motor rotation angle θ). ) from the following equation (1) described above, it calculates the turning reaction force _{F h} (S3). This calculated value is an estimated value of the steering reaction force.

When the transmission efficiency between the positive input and the reverse input of the steered mechanism 6 is different, the values of the coefficients A, I, c, and F _{f in} the formula (1) are changed by the positive input or the reverse input of the steered mechanism 6. Thus, the steering reaction force Fh can be estimated with high accuracy.

  The input normal / reverse determination unit 21 determines whether the input is normal or reverse based on the steering direction detected by the steering direction detection unit 19 and the steering reaction force detected by the steering reaction force detection unit 18 (S4). The input forward / reverse determination unit 21 determines that the input to the steering mechanism 6 is a positive input when the steering direction and the direction of the estimated steering reaction force are different, and a reverse input when the direction is the same. When the steering angular velocity is 0, the input is reversed.

The provisional steering reaction force target value calculation unit 24 of the steering reaction force target value calculation unit 17 is a low-pass capable of changing the cut-off frequency of the turning reaction force F _h estimated by the turning reaction force detection means 18 as described above. The provisional steering reaction force target value Paa is generated through the filter 26 (S5).
At this time, the cut-off frequency changing unit 27 to lower the cutoff frequency when the estimated turning reaction force F _h inputted is small, when the estimated turning reaction force is large to increase the cut-off frequency. Thereby, vibration at the time of releasing the steering wheel 3 can be suppressed, and a quick steering reaction force can be obtained. Estimated turning reaction force F _h is greater than or less of criteria, and is either in which value the cut-off frequency, optionally may be determined by the design by simulation or the like.
Further, the cut-off frequency changing means 27 can switch the cut-off frequency by operating the switch operating means 28, and by this change, the steering feeling can be changed according to the preference of the driver.

a：摩擦項
b：粘性項の係数
d：慣性項の係数
摩擦項、粘性項、および慣性項ａ，ｂ，ｄは、適宜設定して定められる。 The separate item adding unit 25 adds the friction term, the viscosity term, and the inertia term to the provisional steering reaction force target value Paa calculated as described above to generate the steering reaction force target value Pa (S6).

θ _SW : Steering angle (steering wheel angle)
a: Friction term
b: Coefficient of viscosity term
d: Coefficient of inertia term The friction term, the viscosity term, and the inertia terms a, b, and d are appropriately set and determined.

  At this time, the forward / reverse correspondence processing unit 22 provides a friction term (that is, a friction component) only in the case of positive input in the addition process of the separate item addition unit 25. As a result, when the steering wheel 3 starts to be turned from the neutral position, a friction component is quickly given, and a responsive feeling of the steering reaction force at the initial stage of steering can be realized. In the case of reverse input, no friction component is applied, so that there is no offset of the return position when releasing the hand.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the friction component to be added in the separate item adding unit 25, that is, the value “a” of the friction term is decreased as the estimated turning reaction force F _h is increased, and is set to 0 above a certain threshold. With this setting, the turning reaction force F _h is small only if it is possible to impart friction components. The value of the friction term may be constant without changing as shown in FIG.

Further, in the addition process of the separate item adding unit 25, the normal / reverse correspondence processing unit 22 sets the coefficient b of the viscosity term larger in the case of reverse input than in the case of positive input. The viscous component can suppress vibration around the neutral position when letting go, and can prevent an uncomfortable feeling that the steering reaction force at the time of positive input becomes too large.
Coefficient of viscosity term b, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 may be smaller the larger the load, i.e. the turning reaction force F _h. With this setting, the turning reaction force F _h it is possible to impart greater viscosity component is smaller. In the example of FIG. 5, when the turning reaction force F _h is from 0 to a constant value, the viscosity component (viscosity coefficient b) decreases as the turning reaction force F _h increases, and the above-described constant value is obtained. The above is determined to be constant.

  According to this steering reaction force control device, in this way, a favorable response when starting to cut the steering wheel 3 from the neutral position is ensured, and the return position when released is as neutral as possible while preventing vibration around the neutral position. Advantages such as positioning.

In the above embodiment, the turning reaction force F _h is detected by the turning reaction force detection means 18 calculated from the turning motor torque or the like. Instead of providing the turning reaction force detection means 18, however. by turning reaction force detecting means 18A composed of a turning reaction force sensor load cell or the like load sensor provided in the steering mechanism 6, it may be detected the turning reaction force F _h. In this case, the turning reaction force Fh detected by the turning reaction force sensor such as the load cell or the load sensor is determined by the input normal / reverse determining unit 21 or the provisional steering target value calculating unit of the steering reaction force target value calculating unit 17. 24 is used to calculate the provisional steering reaction force target value Paa and the steering reaction force target value Pa.
