Tyre monitoring system
A kind of tire monitor system technical field
The present invention relates to running security technology area, more particularly to tire pressure, temperature monitoring and thermoacoustic prime engine technology refer specifically to a kind of tire monitor system.Background technology
Influence of the tire to running safety is constantly subjected to automobile industry and the concern of the public, and the U.S. started to enforce tire pressure monitoring system in 2003(TPMS) match somebody with somebody for car gage and postpone, TPMS has become automotive engineering proper noun, and rapid growth trend occur in worldwide TPMS development & productions.
Existing TPMS mainstream technology scheme is:TPMS by Liang Bu Fen Group into:Long-range wheel railway platform pressure monitoring module in automobile tire(RTPM:Remote Tire Pressure Moni toring) and central monitor on vehicle cab(LCD display).Remote pressure monitoring modular in each tire is powered by the sub- battery of lithium, is monitored sampling to tire pressure and temperature, sampled data passes through high frequency radio wave F) to launch, a set of TPMS systems have 4 or 5(Including spare tire)RTPM modules.Central monitor receives the signal of remote tyre pressure monitoring modular transmitting, and each tire pressure and temperature data are sequentially displayed on liquid crystal display, is referred to for driver.If exception occur in tire pressure or temperature, central monitor sends different alarm signals according to abnormal conditions, reminds driver to take necessary measure.Its typical technology route or theory diagram are as shown in Figure 1.
Wherein, remote tyre pressure monitoring modular is made up of some:(1) there is pressure, temperature, acceleration, voltage detecting and the intelligence sensor of rear signal transacting asic chip combination;(2 )4 - 8Position monolithic(MCU ); (3) RF radio-frequency transmissions chips;(4) the sub- battery of lithium;(5) antenna.
Intelligence sensor is silicon micromachining(MEMS) the on-chip system module of fabrication techniques, including pressure sensor, temperature sensor, accelerometer, battery voltage detection, internal clocking and one include analog-digital converter(ADC), sampling/holding(S/H), SPI mouthfuls, calibration(Cal ibrat ion), data management(Data there is), the Digital Signal Processing ASIC units of ID codes, module mask-programmable, i.e. client can be configured using special-purpose software.
Prior art TPMS is powered using the sub- batteries of Lithium to RTPM, and RTPM by battery capacity due to being restricted, and the minimum power designs of battery management are using sleep and timing wake-up scheme after sampling, to meet
Battery uses the requirement of 5 ~ 10 years.Under TPMS modes, the data such as pressure and temp are by the way of large-spacing sampling, usually, pressure data sample frequency is l/3Hz ~ l/8Hz, data transmission frequency is l/30Hz ~ l/80Hz, accurately controlled by RTPM power supply of microprocessor management program, RTPM timing wake-ups time interval is typically fixedly installed as 3 ~ 8 seconds scopes, double sampling interim RTPM modules are in sleep state.
TPMS is to keeping tire normal barometric pressure, prevention and the reduction accident of blowing out to have positive role and effect.But existing TPMS systems are because the tire pressure information sampling interval is up to 3000 ~ 8000 milliseconds, and there is certain limitation or defect, only tire pressure, temperature information prompt facility, in terms of effect is confined to early warning prevention, can not to burst blow out or quick air releasing responds and provided immediately effective relief, this is prior art TPMS feature.Say from the strict sense, existing TPMS should be defined as information alert early warning system.
Existing correlative study data shows that it is unexpected incidents to blow out, in advance without sign that is obvious or determining, it is impossible to fundamentally avoid.The reason for initiation is blown out is tire air pressure, particularly temperature rise, the inside tires of the relatively low initiation of tire pressure(Between rubber and wirecord fabric)Friction, causes rubber for tire layer localized hyperthermia, and rubber is peeled off with casing ply, embrittlement, ultimately results in tyre break.Tire pressure is relatively low, to run at high speed for a long time be the major incentive blown out.
American scholar Wesley D. Grimes are delivered《Three-dimensional artificial of the vehicle to reaction of blowing out》(3-Dimens ional Simul tion of Vehicle Response to Tire Blow-outs) research report shows, blow out generation when, air pressure is lost in 100 Bos second in tire, vehicle wheel roll radius of blowing out reduces, blow out wheel rolling, resistance increase is more than 30 times before blowing out, blow out wheel and wheel in diagonal positions declines to the normal pressure Fz on ground, side-friction force also declines therewith, there is wheel rim tire is rolled in the process wheel that continues then to blow out, roll until tire tear is separated with wheel rim, side-friction force is caused to decline to a great extent.During tire is rolled and is torn, tire and ground surface resistance, which significantly increase, to be even resulted in wheel and switchs to slide by rolling(When wheel of blowing out is driven pulley), a lateral force is formed, automobile is occurred the motion for deviateing travel direction.
Wes ley D. Grimes research report shows simultaneously, simple blowing out not necessarily causes the generation of accident, specific road conditions when whether the operation that driver makes to information of blowing out is correct and blows out residing for vehicle, to whether triggering traffic accident to there are direct correlation , Te Do to point out driver's oversteering and excessively braking after quick-fried stock(It is seized)The generation of accident is likely to result in, on the contrary, the manipulation of driver suitably(Adjustment maintains driving trace and appropriateness to brake), it would be possible to avoid the generation of accident.
The research report conclusion disclose one it is particularly important the fact:After the generation 2 ~ 3 seconds of blowing out
At the time of, driver can make a response from the time, and appropriateness manipulation of the driver to automobile is still considered as being necessary and required, and danger of being blown out to neutralizing plays an important roll.The content of the invention

As shown in Fig. 2 technical solution of the present invention is compared with existing TPMS technical schemes, remotely taking turns
Tire monitoring unit 1' parts, maintain the basis of TPMS technical schemes.Technical solution of the present invention retains the pressure information early warning function of central monitor on the basis of TPMS, and increase driving intervenes control function, central monitor is expanded into central controller.Due to the raising of tire pressure sample frequency, tire remote monitoring unit can be to blowing out or the burst such as quick air releasing is sampled and transmitted in time, central controller is received after signal of tyre burst data, immediately provide control instruction, drive driving tamper agent to implement braking deceleration and reduce throttle opening measure, reduce car speed to dissolve danger of blowing out.
The present invention has carried out inventive improvements in tire pressure sample frequency and timing wake-up circuit.Blow out etc. accident when, tire pressure is in 100 milliseconds or so total losses, it is required that baroceptor monitoring sample frequency is adapted therewith, the existing sample frequency l/3Hz ~ 178Hz of TPMS are risen into 10Hz, it is ensured that the timely sampling to 100 milliseconds or so of the air pressure signal of blowing out of time that loses heart.Usually, sample frequency 10Hz is minimum lower limit, if but between sacrifice less inverse time, the purpose for significantly extending battery is reached, is still reasonable and appropriate, such as remote tyre monitor unit 1 of the invention, (shown in Fig. 2)Sample frequency sets scope to be 5 ~ 20Hz.Sample frequency is too low it cannot be guaranteed that timely sampling to air pressure signal of blowing out, too high then unnecessary consumption electric energy causes battery to shorten.Thus, for example, sample frequency could be arranged to 10Hz by the present embodiment, it is ensured that the tire pressure information for the accident such as blow out is sampled in time.
Especially, in order to reduce the power consumption of remote tyre pressure monitoring modular, TPMS technical schemes make the mode of operation that remote tyre monitor unit is slept using double sampling interim, and waken up in timing wake-up mode, but 3-8 seconds of the existing preset fixation of TPMS far modules wake up and once obviously do not adapt to high sample frequency mode of operation, module timing wake-up interval is improved to 50 ~ 200 milliseconds of scopes by the embodiment of the present invention, it for example may be configured as 100 milliseconds, realize the double sampling interim module sleep under 10Hz sample frequencys, the electricity-saving function requirement under high sample frequency is reached.
In addition to remote tyre monitor unit 1', tire monitor system of the invention also includes:Central controller, voice alerting unit and braking deceleration mechanism.The central controller includes:Rf receiver unit, for receiving described tire state data bag signal;Signal processing control unit, the tire state data bag signal of reception is decoded and calculation process, generate tire state data, described tire state data is compared with default tire condition threshold range, if described tire state data meets default pavilion value scope, described voice alerting instruction and/or braking deceleration instruction are exported.Described tire state data includes:Blow out or quick air releasing data;Serious deficency data;Deficency data;Normal barometric pressure data and superpressure data.
Described tire condition preset threshold range refers to blow out or quick air releasing scope tire is normal

If tire condition sampled data is in>30% scope of tire normal barometric pressure value(The range data is referred to as " warning data "), then voice alerting instruction is only exported, voice alerting unit is received after the voice alerting instruction, corresponding information of voice prompt is exported with default advisory frequency;
If tire condition sampled data be in tire normal barometric pressure value 30% (range data is referred to as " control data "), then voice alerting instruction and braking deceleration instruction are exported.
Because existing TPMS remote tire pressures monitoring modular is all from several professional major companies, the operation program of module in the world(Or concrete function index)Design is carried out in the way of secondary development, therefore, and the present invention in the design of pressure abnormity characteristic point, is designed, central controller in operation program according to above-mentioned tire condition preset threshold range(ECU) barometric information received is analyzed and processed, data are divided according to above-mentioned threshold value.It can be adjusted according to vehicle, tire pressure difference in addition, atmospheric region is divided, if desired improve air pressure early warning range precision, air pressure range can be made to more and thinner division.
Speech interval prompting driving function is directly realized by ECU, ECU carries out computing differentiation to the air pressure sampled data information received, when reaching information alert condition, at set time intervals drive signal is sent to sound-compound-circuit, sound-compound-circuit prerecords the corresponding phonetic synthesis of solidification, and voice reporting warning is sent according to driving instruction.
Technical solution of the present invention excludes LCD display modes using voice message, in addition to avoiding multi information and disturbing driver drives vehicle safety effect, the installation difficulty of product is also simplify, central controller installs shelter appropriate in the car, and the upholstery to automobile does not have any impact.
The signal processing control unit of central controller has braking deceleration instruction and air pressure sampled data signal lag function of blowing out, and blows out or quick air releasing sampled data interrupts then braking deceleration instruction breaks.
The realization of braking deceleration function is considered as the false triggering problem that signal interference is likely to result under automatic control state, this is the problem of especially should be noted that using transmission of wireless signals mode technical scheme, in actual traffic, automobile may be travelled under any environmental condition, the direct result that signal interference may cause, it is the maloperation of automatic control system, the consequence braked by mistake may be brought.Therefore, it is necessary to consider or take precautions against the appearance of possible consequence and suppress the harm of consequence, the present invention designs special signal interference false triggering suppression program in ECU control programs, i.e. braking deceleration instruction is adopted with air pressure of blowing out
Sample data are servo-actuated, when air pressure sampled data of blowing out is interrupted, central controller(ECU braking deceleration instruction) is also interrupted immediately, therefore, even if indivedual interference signals cause the mistake of system to brake, also due to interference signal is discontinuous or irregular, ECU will be screened quickly, suppress or eliminate the influence of braking by mistake, it is to avoid braking persistently produces hazard analysis and HACCP by mistake.
The brake actuator of technical solution of the present invention Braking mode deceleration, the automatic retarding mechanism of prior art can be used, realized such as the Braking mode reducing gear of rear-end collision anti-collision system, the special braking deceleration mechanism with brake force accumulation of energy can also be set, automatic retarding mechanism as disclosed in Chinese patent ZL00101579.6, realizes the purpose of automatic retarding.
The voice alerting unit of the present invention includes sound-compound-circuit, and the sound-compound-circuit receives the voice alerting instruction that the ECU is sent, using the phonetic synthesis for prerecording solidification, sends audio alert prompting.
The warning data in air pressure sampled data in embodiments of the invention(>30%P, P are tire normal barometric pressure value)Transmission frequency is set to l/60Hz, control data (<Transmission frequency 30%P) is set to minimum interval or continuously transmitted, and continues 10 seconds.
Present system control program flow chart is as shown in figure 3, system first carries out self-check program after starting, after determining that working state of system is normal, into reception Data Analysis Services program.If data transmission is abnormal, system carries out the wheel position number identification, and make voice message extremely of long-range monitoring modular;Following processing is performed if transmission is normal:
ECU receives 30 %P and (blown out or quick air releasing scope)During air pressure sampled data, driving is implemented to automobile and intervenes control measure, including braking deceleration and reduction throttle opening, while implementing voice message;
ECU is received>30% P and<60% P air pressure(Serious under-voltage scope)During sampled data, implementation tip frequency ' be 1/60HZ the under-voltage voice message of severe;
ECU is received>60%PJL<80% P air pressure (under-voltage scope)During sampled data, implementation tip frequency is 1/600HZ under-voltage voice message;
ECU is received> 80%And<120%Air pressure(Air pressure normal range (NR))During sampled data, implementation tip frequency is pointed out for 1/3600HZ air pressure normal voice;
ECU is received>120%P air pressure(Superpressure scope)During sampled data, implementation tip frequency is 1/600Hz superpressure voice message.
