- the steering angle neutral point is learned by the learning means.
- the steering wheel angle neutral point is a zero point of the steering wheel angle and means a steering wheel angle when the vehicle is maintained in a straight traveling state. That is, preferably, it is handled that the driver's aggressive steering operation (except for those similar to the steering holding operation) does not occur at the steering wheel neutral point.
- the learning means acquires a steering wheel angle when the vehicle is in a straight traveling state or is estimated to be in a straight traveling state as a sample value of a steering wheel neutral point (that is, a zero point), and is constant or indefinite. Learning by holding a predetermined number of the sample values obtained for each cycle, applying various arithmetic processing (including averaging and weighting) to the held sample values, and updating the handle angle neutral point May be performed. Even in a straight traveling state, as long as the driver holds the steering wheel, a considerable amount of steering wheel fluctuation can occur.
- the handle angle learning means may learn the handle angle neutral point as a certain range according to the occurrence of this kind of fluctuation.
- the rudder angle variable device is normally used as a standard for determining the rudder angle neutral point based on the rudder angle equivalent value detected by the rudder angle equivalent value detecting means and actually operating the rudder angle control.
- the steering angle neutral point means a value corresponding to the steering angle in a straight traveling state.

- the rudder angle equivalent value detection means can detect various abnormal states (detection values that exceed the normal range). Divergence, detection value is invalid value, value is not detected, output is not stable, or output may be hunted.
- detection value is invalid value, value is not detected, output is not stable, or output may be hunted.
- the rudder angle equivalent value detecting means is in an abnormal state, the reliability of the rudder angle neutral point is lowered to a level that is difficult to ignore in practice.
- the steering angle neutral point is lowered, the steering angle of the steered wheels is deflected to the left or right at the steering angle neutral point that should originally correspond to the straight traveling state, so that the vehicle deviates from the straight traveling state.
- the driver is likely to try to correct the vehicle to a straight traveling state by appropriately applying steering torque to the steering shaft by operating the steering wheel.
- the handle angle neutral point learned by the handle angle neutral point learning means described above deviates from the handle angle neutral point that should be originally.
- the learning value of the steering wheel neutral point is also less reliable.
- the presence or absence of such an abnormal state can be determined under various practical aspects according to the definition of the abnormal state, but simply because the steering angle equivalent value detection means is in the abnormal state, If the learning value is discarded and a new steering angle learning process is started, the abnormal state of the steering angle equivalent value detection means may affect the newly started steering angle neutral point learning process. Is difficult to eliminate. As a result, the learning accuracy of the steering angle neutral point that is re-learned decreases, and at least the time loss until a reliable steering angle neutral point is obtained and the deterioration of the quality of the steering control of the vehicle during that time cannot be ignored. May manifest to a degree.
- the control means when it is determined that the steering angle equivalent value detection means is in an abnormal state, the control means returns the steering angle of the steered wheels to the steering angle neutral point.
- the rudder angle varying device is controlled.
- the steering angle neutral point that is the control target of the control means is a steering angle neutral point that is not affected by the abnormal state related to the steering angle equivalent value detection means, for example, the initial position of the steering angle equivalent value detection means Means the rudder angle etc.
- the steering angle neutral point that is the control target of the control means is determined that the vehicle is in a straight traveling state by a determination process based on the yaw rate, the yaw deviation, the vehicle body slip angle, or the lateral acceleration of the vehicle.
- a practical steering angle position may be used. In any case, the vehicle is temporarily kept straight by the action of the control means.
- the steering angle equivalent value detection means is initialized by the initialization means.
- Initialization means that detection of the steering angle equivalent value is newly started with the detected value at that time as the zero point, that is, the steering angle neutral point.
- the learning means described above is configured to resume learning of the steering wheel angle neutral point after discarding the learning value of the steering wheel angle neutral point on condition that the initialization of the steering angle equivalent value detection means is completed. Has been.
- the steering angle neutral point learning process after the previous learning value is discarded can obtain a provisional straight-ahead state by the action of the control means. And the normal detection process of the steering angle equivalent value is resumed by the action of the initialization means. Therefore, the steering angle neutral point learning process is started under ideal conditions, and the steering angle neutral point can be learned quickly and with high accuracy.
- the vehicle further includes a neutral position detection unit that detects a neutral position of the steering angle equivalent value detection unit corresponding to the steering angle neutral point, The control means returns the rudder angle to the rudder angle neutral point based on the detected neutral position (claim 2).

- control means controls the steering angle varying device so that the steering angle returns to the steering angle neutral point within a predetermined time.
- the steering angle can be returned to the steering angle neutral point within a predetermined time when the abnormality determination of the steering angle equivalent value detecting means is performed. Therefore, as compared with the case where the steering angle is established and returned to the steering angle neutral point, the time variation of a series of return processing at the time of abnormality determination of the steering angle equivalent value detection means is suppressed, and the quality is improved. .
- the “predetermined time” means that the learning value of the handle angle neutral position is derived from the predetermined time as a legal restriction by the handle angle neutral point learning process. It may be a grace time that is obtained by reducing the time required to complete the process.
- a change speed of the steering angle when the steering angle is returned to the steering angle neutral point is determined based on at least one of a steering operation speed and a vehicle speed.
- the control means further includes a determining means, and the control means controls the steering angle varying device so that the steering angle changes at the determined change speed.
- the rudder angle control toward the rudder angle neutral point related to the control means is a kind of compulsory control and is essentially irrelevant to the driver's intention and sensitivity. Therefore, depending on the situation, there may be a situation in which the driver feels uncomfortable or uncomfortable.
- control means sets the steering angle to the steering angle neutral point based on at least one of the steering wheel operation speed (for example, the time differential value of the steering wheel angle detected by the steering wheel angle sensor) and the vehicle speed.
- the speed of change of the rudder angle when controlling toward is limited.
- the change speed of the steering angle is set relatively large. Can do. Further, in a situation where the vehicle speed is relatively high, the influence of the change in the steering angle on the vehicle behavior becomes relatively large. Therefore, it is preferable that the change speed of the steering angle is relatively small. Note that the change speed of the rudder angle can be returned to the rudder angle neutral point as quickly as possible within a range that does not cause the driver to feel uncomfortable or uncomfortable experimentally, empirically, or theoretically in advance. It may be set as follows.

If it is determined that the vehicle is in the straight traveling state, the learned steering wheel angle neutral point is discarded when the vehicle is determined to be in the straight traveling state, and the control means is configured so that the vehicle is in the automatic steering state. When the steering angle equivalent value detecting means is determined to be in the abnormal state during the automatic steering period, the steering angle is converted to the steering angle when it is determined that the vehicle is in the straight traveling state. Neutral point Causes attributed (claim 5).
- the vehicle shifts to the automatic steering state based on the driving condition set in advance by the automatic steering control means.
- the automatic steering state means a traveling state that does not require the driver's aggressive steering operation.
- the control of the rudder angle varying device for this kind of automatic steering state by the automatic steering control means may be control that causes the vehicle to trace the target travel path, such as LKA (Lane Keeping Assist).
- the automatic steering control means includes a white line that defines a target travel path, Invite the vehicle to the automatic steering state by changing the control amount of the steering angle varying device according to the position state deviation (for example, lateral position deviation, yaw angle deviation, etc.) that defines the positional relationship between the lane mark and the vehicle body Also good.
- the position state deviation for example, lateral position deviation, yaw angle deviation, etc.
- the driver does not have a positive intention to steer, and the vehicle state is not limited to the straight traveling state but may be in a turning state. Therefore, when the abnormality determination of the steering angle equivalent value detection means is established during the automatic steering period in which the vehicle is in the automatic steering state, the steering angle is returned to the steering angle neutral point by the action of the control means. The vehicle behavior is greatly affected. Of course, at the same time, an increase in the psychological burden on the driver, an uncomfortable feeling, anxiety, or discomfort may occur.
- the straight traveling determination means determines that the vehicle is in a straight traveling state
- the learning value of the steering wheel neutral point is discarded and the control of the steering angle by the control means is permitted. Is done. Therefore, destabilization of the vehicle behavior and discomfort, anxiety or discomfort to the driver are prevented, and high-quality steering control is provided.
- the straight-ahead determination relating to the straight-ahead determination means can be made relatively simple, for example, by comparing the yaw rate and the threshold value, but the vehicle state that can be determined as the straight-ahead state by the straight-ahead determination is the steering angle related to the control means. It does not necessarily coincide with the straight traveling state obtained by the steering angle control to the neutral point. More specifically, as long as the above-mentioned various problems do not become apparent when the rudder angle is returned to the rudder angle neutral point by the control unit, the straight-running state determined as the straight-running state by the straight-running determination unit is relatively It may include a turning state on a small scale.

- Steering wheel control unit 100A is a device that calculates control amounts of front wheels and rear wheels that are steering wheels.
- the VGRS rotation angle ⁇ vgrs, the vehicle speed V, the ARS rotation angle ⁇ ars, and a correction handle angle ⁇ h_cr described later are input to the steering wheel control unit 100A as input values.
- the steered wheel control unit 100A selects a target VGRS rotation angle ⁇ vgrstg and a target ARS rotation angle ⁇ arstg corresponding to these input values from the VGRS rotation angle map and the ARS rotation angle map stored in advance in the ROM, and outputs them as output values. It is the composition to output.

- the steering wheel neutral point ⁇ h_zero is a reference value for calculating a corrected steering wheel angle ⁇ h_cr, which is one of the input values of the steering wheel controller 100A that controls the steering angle of the actual front and rear wheels. Become. Therefore, when the accuracy of the steering wheel angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero is insufficient, the steering wheel control unit 100A cannot accurately control the front and rear wheels. This is especially true when the steering wheel neutral point ⁇ h_zero is an abnormal value.
- the steering wheel neutral point ⁇ h_zero is affected by the accuracy of the steering angle control of the front and rear wheels toward the steering angle neutral point.
- the steering angle neutral point is the steering angle when the vehicle is traveling straight.
- the handle 11 is supposed to be maintained in a steered state.
- the detection accuracy of the VGRS rotation angle ⁇ vgrs and the ARS rotation angle ⁇ ars is lowered. If this is the case, the steered wheels will not stop at the original steering angle neutral point. For this reason, the driver who desires the straight traveling extends to the act of correcting the steering angle by giving the steering torque via the handle 11.
- the steering wheel angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero is a steering wheel angle when the vehicle is traveling straight, so even if the vehicle 10 is traveling straight as a result of correcting the steering angle by applying steering torque in this way, May be learned as a handle angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero.
- the vehicle 10 in a state where the driver holds the steering wheel 11, the vehicle 10 is deflected in either the left or right direction, which is very undesirable in controlling the behavior of the vehicle. That is, in order to maintain the accuracy of the handle angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero, it is necessary to appropriately deal with the abnormal state of the VGRS rotation angle sensor 17 and the ARS rotation angle sensor 20.
- the handle angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero is maintained with high accuracy by the handle angle neutral point control.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the handle angle neutral point control.
- the ECU 100 is configured by each device illustrated in FIG. 2, but here, unless otherwise specified, the operation of the ECU 100 is described without regard to each device.
- the vehicle 10 includes the VGRS rotation angle sensor 17 and the ARS rotation angle sensor 20 as “steering angle equivalent value detection means” according to the present invention, but here, from the meaning of a sensor attached to each actuator, as appropriate.
- the term “ACT sensor” is used to express it comprehensively.
- the ECU 100 reads sensor values detected by various sensors (step S101). More specifically, the ECU 100 reads the steering wheel angle ⁇ h, the vehicle speed V, the yaw rate ⁇ , the VGRS rotation angle ⁇ vgrs and the ARS rotation angle ⁇ ars.
- the ECU 100 acquires an ACT sensor abnormal state value that defines whether the ACT sensor is in an abnormal state or a normal state (step S102).
- the ACT sensor abnormal state value is either “normal value” meaning that the ACT sensor is in a normal state or “abnormal value” meaning that the ACT sensor is in an abnormal state. It is set by an ACT sensor abnormal state value update process executed in parallel with the point control.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the ACT sensor abnormal state value determination process.
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not the ACT sensor is in a normal state (step S201).
- the “normal state” means a state in which the detection value of the ACT sensor is ensured with a certain level of reliability. Whether or not the ACT sensor is in a normal state is determined by comprehensively considering the operating state of the ACT sensor. More specifically, when the detected value of the ACT sensor exceeds the appropriate range, is diverging, is an invalid value, is not detected, the output is not stable, or hunting is taken, It is determined that the ACT sensor is in an abnormal state. In addition, it is not restricted to what is illustrated here, The criterion which can make the determination that the reliability of an ACT sensor is not ensured experimentally, empirically, or theoretically may be given beforehand.
- step S202 When the ACT sensor is in an abnormal state (step S202: NO), the ECU 100 sets the ACT sensor abnormal state value to “abnormal value” (step S206). When step S206 is executed, the process returns to step S201.
- step S201 when the ACT sensor is in a normal state (step S201: YES), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the current ACT sensor abnormal state value is a “normal value” (step S202). If the current ACT sensor abnormal state value is “normal value” (step S202: YES), the ECU 100 sets the ACT sensor abnormal state to a normal value (step S203). When step S203 is executed, the process returns to step S201.
- step S202 when the ACT sensor abnormal state value at the present time (the ACT sensor is in a normal state) is “abnormal value” (step S202: NO), the ECU 100 returns the ACT sensor to the neutral position described later and the initial state. It is determined whether or not conversion is completed (step S204). When the return to the neutral position and the initialization have not been completed yet (step S204: NO), the ECU 100 shifts the process to step S206. That is, the ACT sensor abnormal state value is maintained as “abnormal value”.
- step S204 when the return to the neutral position of the ACT sensor and initialization have been completed (step S204: YES), the ECU 100 proceeds to step S203 and sets the ACT sensor abnormal state value to “normal value”. Switch.
- the ACT sensor abnormal state value update process is executed as described above.
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not the ACT sensor abnormal state value is “normal value” (step S103).
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not the vehicle 10 is in a straight traveling state (step S104). Whether or not the vehicle is in the straight traveling state is determined by whether or not the absolute value of the yaw rate ⁇ (the yaw rate ⁇ takes a positive or negative value depending on the turning direction) is less than the reference value A. When the yaw rate ⁇ is less than the reference value A, it is determined that the vehicle 10 is in a straight traveling state.
- step S104 When it is determined that the vehicle 10 is in the straight traveling state (step S104: YES), the ECU 100 calculates the steering wheel angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero according to a preset learning algorithm (step S105). The steering wheel angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero obtained as a result of the calculation is updated as the latest learning value (step S106). When the latest learning value of the handle angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero is obtained, the process returns to step S101. In Step S104, when it is determined that the vehicle 10 is not in the straight traveling state (Step S104: NO), the process is returned to Step S101. That is, in this case, the steering wheel angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero is maintained at the previous value without being learned.
- step S103 when the ACT sensor abnormal state value is “abnormal value” in step S103 (step S103: NO), the ECU 100 returns the ACT sensor to the neutral position and initializes it (step S107).
- the “neutral position” relating to the ACT sensor is a reference neutral position set in advance in the ACT sensor and is not necessarily a position corresponding to the steering angle neutral point of the vehicle 10, but at the time of initial setting. Since the entire steering apparatus is constructed so that the vehicle 10 is in the straight traveling state at the neutral position, by driving the actuator corresponding to the ACT sensor in the abnormal state so that the ACT sensor is in the neutral position, The corresponding rudder angle is also returned to the reference neutral position.
- “initialization” related to the ACT sensor is a reset process for canceling the abnormal state. Note that when the ACT sensor is physically damaged, mechanically or electrically damaged to such an extent that its performance cannot be fully exhibited, such initialization is hardly meaningful. In this case, the warning light provided to the vehicle 10 is quickly turned on.
- the abnormality targeted in this embodiment is mainly an abnormality that temporarily occurs for some reason.
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not the steering angle corresponding to the ACT sensor in the abnormal state has returned to the neutral position (that is, the ACT sensor is uniquely at the neutral position) and the initialization of the ACT sensor has been completed. (Step S108).
- the process according to step S108 is equivalent to the process according to step S204 of the ACT sensor abnormal state value update process of FIG.
- step S108: NO the process is temporarily maintained in a standby state.
- step S108 When the return to the neutral position of the steering angle and the initialization of the ACT sensor are completed (step S108: YES), that is, when the vehicle 10 temporarily goes straight and the ACT sensor starts to function normally, the ECU 100 Then, the learning value of the handle angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero held at that time is discarded (step S109). When the learning value is discarded, the process returns to step S101.
- the steering wheel angle neutral point control proceeds as described above.
- step S108 branches to the “YES” side
- the ACT sensor abnormal state value is switched to “normal value”. Therefore, the determination relating to step S103 that comes after the steering wheel neutral point ⁇ h_zero is discarded is “YES”. Branch to the side. Further, since the return to the neutral position of the rudder angle has already been completed, the vehicle 10 is temporarily maintained in the straight traveling state, and the determination relating to step S104 also branches to the “YES” side.
- the steering angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero consisting of steps S105 and S106 is quickly executed.
- the initialization of the ACT sensor has already been completed, and the abnormal detected value output from the ACT sensor in the abnormal state does not affect the steering wheel neutral point learning process.
- a transient error during returning from an abnormal state does not affect the handle angle neutral point learning process.
- the steering angle neutral point ⁇ h_zero can be learned quickly and accurately in terms of term when determining the abnormality of the ACT sensor.
- step S107 when the steering angle is returned to the neutral position based on the neutral position of the ACT sensor, the change speed of the steering angle is set to the steering wheel angular speed ⁇ h ′ which is the changing speed of the steering wheel angle ⁇ h at that time or the vehicle speed V. It may be changed in multiple stages according to the above. For example, the change speed of the steering angle may be changed to a large or small value with respect to the change in the steering wheel angular speed ⁇ h ′. Alternatively, the change speed of the rudder angle may be changed to small or large with respect to the vehicle speed V. Thus, by changing the change speed of the rudder angle according to the traveling state or steering state of the vehicle 10 at that time, it is possible to prevent the driver from feeling uncomfortable, uneasy or uncomfortable.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the handle angle neutral point control.
- the same reference numerals are given to the same portions as those in FIG. 3, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.
- the steering wheel neutral point control according to the second embodiment is control for the vehicle 10 that can take an automatic running state.
- various known aspects can be applied to practical aspects of automatic driving, and details thereof will be omitted here.
- locus tracking control such as LKA is executed. Good.
- the target of the lateral acceleration generated in the vehicle body based on the yaw angle deviation between the white line or lane mark captured by the vehicle-mounted camera or the like, the radius (or curvature) of the travel path, the yaw rate, etc.
- the operation of various actuators such as the VGRS actuator 300 and the ARS actuator 700 may be controlled so that a value is determined and a lateral acceleration corresponding to the determined target value is obtained. Further, in realizing such an automatic running state, steering torque assistance by a steering torque assisting device such as an EPS actuator may be appropriately accompanied.
- step S103 when the abnormal state value of the ACT sensor is “abnormal value” (step S103: NO), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the vehicle 10 is running automatically (step S301). When the vehicle 10 is not automatically traveling (step S301: NO), the process proceeds to step S107, and the process proceeds as in the first embodiment.
- step S301 when the vehicle 10 is traveling automatically (step S301: YES), the ECU 100 determines whether or not the vehicle 10 is traveling straight ahead (step S302). If the vehicle 10 is not turning straight, such as when the vehicle 10 is turning in the course of automatic traveling control (step S302: NO), the process returns to step S301. That is, in this case, the return to the neutral position of the ACT sensor and the initialization are temporarily in a standby state.
- step S302 If the vehicle 10 is traveling straight ahead in step S302 (step S302: YES), the ECU 100 forcibly terminates automatic traveling (step S303), and the process proceeds to step S107.
- the handle angle neutral point control according to the second embodiment, when the vehicle 10 is under various automatic travel controls such as LKA, the steering is waited for the vehicle 10 to go straight. The corner is returned to the neutral position. Therefore, in the automatic steering period in which the driver does not intend to steer, the vehicle 10 that is turning is suddenly returned to the straight traveling state, thereby destabilizing the vehicle behavior and causing the driver to feel uncomfortable, uneasy and uncomfortable. The generation
- the “straight running” according to step S302 may be a straight running state that is less rigorous than a straight running state obtained when the rudder angle is in the neutral position. In other words, if the driver does not feel uncomfortable, uneasy or uncomfortable when returning the rudder angle to the neutral position, it is determined that the vehicle is in a straight traveling state during a small turning operation. May be.
- the deviation of the steering wheel neutral point can be caused by an event that is difficult or impossible to predict, such as drift in sensor temperature or contact with road surface obstacles. Therefore, learning of the steering wheel neutral point requires constant execution, and the effect brought about by the vehicle control apparatus according to the present invention is clear. The technical significance of the present invention is also clear.
- the present invention can be used for a vehicle capable of changing the rudder angle of a steered wheel independently of a driver's operation.
