Description
The present invention relates to a steering apparatus and a steering control method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a steering apparatus and a steering control method for compensating a lateral wind.
An electric power steering (EPS) has a steering motor that provides a steering assist torque to the steering wheel shaft.
When the driver generates a torque on the steering wheel through manipulation, the steering device senses such driver operating torque and drives the steering motor in the same direction. According to such a drive, the steering motor provides the steering wheel with steering assist torque in the same direction as the driver operation torque, and the driver can use this steering assist torque to control the steering with less force.
The steering assist torque provided by the steering motor is a main function that assists the steering force of the driver as described above, but may perform other functions in addition to these functions. For example, the steering system also controls the steering motor to enhance steering stability.
When an external force is generated in the vehicle or the steering wheel, the steering is changed by such an external force. This steering variation needs to be removed for steering stability because it is not the intended variation of the driver. The steering system also controls the steering motor to prevent steering fluctuations due to external forces.
The lateral wind blowing to the side of the vehicle is one such external force. The lateral wind blowing to the side of the vehicle acts as a force to change the traveling direction of the vehicle, and this force generates a torque in the steering wheel, and the steering fluctuation occurs due to such torque.
However, conventionally, it has been difficult to distinguish between the torque caused by the wind and the driver's operating torque. Accordingly, there has been a problem that the steering apparatus can not appropriately compensate the torque caused by the wind.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a steering device technique and a steering control technique for compensating for the influence of a lateral wind.
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in one aspect, the present invention provides a control apparatus comprising: a controller that senses a roll speed of a vehicle that is varied by a horizontal wind and generates a compensation current according to the roll speed; And a steering motor that provides a wind compensation torque to the steering wheel in accordance with the compensation current.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a method comprising: sensing a roll speed of a vehicle that is varied by a lateral wind; Generating a compensation current according to the roll speed; And providing a steep compensation torque to the steering wheel according to the compensation current.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a steering apparatus comprising: a steering motor for providing a steering assist torque to a steering wheel according to a control current; And a controller for sensing the roll speed of the vehicle through the roll sensor, calculating a value of the lateral wind compensation torque according to the roll speed, and generating the control current by reflecting the value of the lateral wind compensation torque.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to compensate the torque generated on the steering wheel by the lateral wind, thereby enhancing the steering stability.

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals whenever possible, even if they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.
In describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), and (b) may be used. These terms are intended to distinguish the constituent elements from other constituent elements, and the terms do not limit the nature, order or order of the constituent elements. When a component is described as being "connected", "coupled", or "connected" to another component, the component may be directly connected to or connected to the other component, It should be understood that an element may be "connected," "coupled," or "connected."

Referring to Fig. 1, the steering apparatus may include a steering wheel 1, a

2 is a view showing the roll direction of the vehicle.
The roll axis means the front and rear axles passing through the center of the vehicle. The roll direction means the direction of rotation around the roll axis.
The vehicle may be equipped with a roll sensor to sense rotation in the roll direction. These roll sensors can sense roll speed, sense roll acceleration, or sense roll angle. On the other hand, the roll sensor only senses the roll speed, and the roll angle or the roll acceleration may be calculated by the
When the transverse wind blows, the vehicle moves in the roll direction. The steering apparatus according to an embodiment senses the roll direction movement and estimates the intensity of the transverse wind blowing to the vehicle. The steering device compensates for such torque by measuring the intensity of the torque applied to the steering wheel 1 by the lateral wind according to the intensity of the transverse wind.
3 is an exemplary graph showing the relationship between the lateral wind and the roll speed.
As the transverse wind strength increases, the roll speed also increases accordingly. The steering apparatus estimates the intensity of the transverse wind using this relationship between the lateral wind and the roll speed, and compensates for such torque after measuring the intensity of the torque applied to the steering wheel 1 by the lateral wind.
4 is a flowchart of a steering control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Fig. 4, the roll speed of the vehicle, which is varied by the lateral wind, is sensed (S400).
The roll speed may not be sensed only for steering control. For example, the roll speed may be sensed by another part to detect rollover of the vehicle or the like. When the roll speed is sensed in another part, the steering device (for example, the controller 10) can obtain this roll speed value through communication with other parts.
The roll speed can be sensed by a roll sensor, which, when the roll sensor senses the roll acceleration or the roll angle, the steering device - for example, the controller 10 - can differentiate the roll angle or integrate the roll acceleration The roll angle value can be obtained.
When the roll speed value is obtained, the steering device (e. G., Controller 10) compares the roll speed with a reference value (S402).
The step S402 may be omitted in accordance with the embodiment, but may be included to remove the influence of noise or the like.
The steering device - for example, the controller 10 - compares the roll speed with a reference value, and if the roll speed is below the reference value (NO in S402), it may not perform the lateral wind compensation process. The roll sensor transmits the roll speed sensing value to the other devices through an electric signal, and noise may be inserted into the electric signal. Noise can be inserted into the roll sensor during sensing. When the roll speed is lower than the reference value (NO in S402), the steering apparatus (for example, controller 10) compares the roll speed with a reference value to prevent unstable operation due to such noise, have.
If the roll speed exceeds the reference value (YES in S402), the steering device, for example, the

As described with reference to Fig. 3, there is a certain relationship between the physical strength of the transverse wind and the roll speed. As a result, a constant relationship can also be created between the roll speed and the wind compensation torque.

The relationship information between the roll speed and the wind compensation torque or the relationship information between the roll speed and the compensation current can be obtained through experiments. The area of the side surface or the weight of the vehicle may be different for each vehicle, and the designer of the steering apparatus can experiment with each vehicle to generate the relationship information between the roll speed and the wind compensation torque or the relationship information between the roll speed and the compensation current. Of course, depending on the embodiment, such relationship information may be automatically generated according to vehicle information such as the lateral area of the vehicle and the weight of the vehicle.
The steering device - for example, the controller 10 - is able to compensate for external forces due to the lateral wind when the vehicle is in a particular driving condition.
For example, the

Although the method of compensating the torque applied to the steering wheel 1 by the lateral wind in a state in which there is no operating torque of the driver in the above embodiment is mainly described, the present invention is not limited thereto. The steering apparatus according to the present invention can appropriately compensate the influence of the lateral wind on the steering wheel 1 even in the presence of the operating torque of the driver. Since it is difficult to distinguish between the operating torque of the driver and the torque due to the lateral wind when trying to compensate for the influence of the lateral wind on the steering wheel 1 with the values sensed in the steering device - for example, the steering wheel 1 - It becomes difficult. However, since the steering apparatus according to the present invention estimates the torque due to the lateral wind at a value sensed by the roll sensor rather than the steering device, it is possible to easily distinguish the operation torque of the driver from the torque due to the lateral wind. Accordingly, the steering apparatus according to the present invention can appropriately compensate the influence of the lateral wind on the steering wheel 1 even in the presence of the operating torque of the driver.
5 is a flowchart of a steering control method according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, the vehicle senses the roll speed using a roll sensor and senses the torque of the steering wheel 1 using the torque sensor 5 (S500).
Then, the steering device (for example, the controller 10) can calculate the value of the lateral wind compensation torque according to the roll speed (S502). In order to calculate the lateral wind compensation torque value, the
After the lateral wind compensation torque value is calculated, the steering device - for example, the controller 10 - compensates the torque sensing value of the steering wheel 1 sensed through the
Specifically, the steering device (for example, the controller 10) calculates the driver operation torque by reflecting the value of the lateral wind compensation torque to the torque sensing value of the steering wheel 1, amplifies the driver operation torque, The torque can be generated to be canceled by the lateral wind compensation torque.
[Equation 1]
Driver operating torque (T1) = torque sensing value (T2) - lateral wind compensation torque value (T3)
For example, the
And, the steering device (for example, the controller 10) can generate the control current according to the driver's operation torque T1. More specifically, the steering device - for example, the controller 10 - can generate the control current by reflecting the driver operation torque T1 and the lateral wind compensation torque value T3.

Meanwhile, in the above-described embodiments, the roll speed is sensed through the roll sensor and the value of the lateral wind compensation torque is calculated according to the roll speed. However, the
