1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control, and more particularly, to a method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control in an environmental vehicle performing regenerative braking at front wheel and/or a rear wheel.
2. Description of Related Art
In environmental vehicles (a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle, and the like) that perform regenerative braking at both a front wheel and a rear wheel, a regenerative brake cooperation control is different from that in vehicles that perform the regenerative braking only at the front wheel in the related art.
A drive motor is disposed at the front wheel in the environmental vehicles (the hybrid vehicle, the electric vehicle, the fuel cell vehicle, and the like) that perform only front regenerative braking.
When energy is recovered by charging a battery in the drive motor, regenerative braking force is generated and the braking force acts on only the front wheel.
Since a possibility that a spin of a vehicle will occur is low in spite of large total braking force of the front wheel by the regenerative force of the front wheel, a generation amount of the regenerative braking force may be maximized as possible so as to maximally generate the energy. In addition, a system for cooperation control of hydraulic braking force is also configured by considering only the regenerative braking force of the front wheel.
When the regenerative braking may be performed at both the front wheel and the rear wheel, the regenerative braking force is applied even to the rear wheel, and as a result, when the regenerative braking force of the rear wheel increases to recover more energy, the spin occurrence possibility increases as the rear wheel is locked, there is a limit in increasing the regenerative braking force like a front-wheel regenerative braking vehicle.
As illustrated in
In the case of the front-wheel regenerative braking, although the braking force distribution is provided, since deceleration in which rear wheel lock may first occur is higher than that in a vehicle adopting a general hydraulic brake, safety of the vehicle is not significantly damaged, as illustrated in
That is, referring to an actual braking distribution line, since only the front-wheel regenerative braking force is generated up to a maximum value of the front-wheel regenerative braking force and thereafter, the braking force of the front and rear wheels by the hydraulic brake is generated, a cross point with the ideal braking distribution line is relatively large moves to a relatively large deceleration region.
The magnitude of the regenerative braking force generated in the front wheel is proportional to a capacity of the drive motor and a deceleration in which the front wheel lock may first occur also varies depending on the capacity of the drive motor.
Accordingly, since the environmental vehicles performing only the front-wheel regenerative braking has no problem in stability of the vehicle even though the braking force of the front wheel is increased by the front-wheel regenerative braking force, a braking force ratio between the front and rear-wheel hydraulic brakes may not be changed and as a pipe of a brake system, an X-Split pipe similarly generating the front and rear-wheel hydraulic pressures may be used.
On the contrary, when the brake system and the braking force distribution in the related art are performed with respect to the environmental vehicles performing the regenerative braking at the rear wheel or the front and rear wheel, a braking line diagram representing the braking force distribution and actual power distribution are illustrated in
As illustrated in
In this case, when the regenerative braking force is maximally used to recover the energy, the deceleration in which the rear lock may first occur decreases to degrade the stability of the vehicle and when a regenerative braking amount is limited to secure the stability of the vehicle, the energy recovery amount decreases.
Therefore, a regenerative braking cooperation control method that may enhance fuel efficiency by maximizing the regenerative braking in addition to the vehicle stability and braking performance is required.

The methods and apparatuses of the present invention have other features and advantages which will be apparent from or are set forth in more detail in the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated herein, and the following Detailed Description, which together serve to explain certain principles of the present invention.
It should be understood that the appended drawings are not necessarily to scale, presenting a somewhat simplified representation of various exemplary features illustrative of the basic principles of the invention. The specific design features of the present invention as disclosed herein, including, for example, specific dimensions, orientations, locations, and shapes will be determined in part by the particular intended application and use environment.
In the figures, reference numbers refer to the same or equivalent parts of the present invention throughout the several figures of the drawing.
Hereinafter reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described below. While the invention will be described in conjunction with exemplary embodiments, it will be understood that present description is not intended to limit the invention to those exemplary embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is intended to cover not only the exemplary embodiments, but also various alternatives, modifications, equivalents and other embodiments, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
The present invention relates to a method for controlling braking force in new type of regenerative brake cooperation control, which can satisfy all characteristics of improvement of vehicle stability, braking performance, and fuel efficiency in environmental vehicles (a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle, and the like) performing regenerative braking force at a front wheel, a rear wheel, or both the front wheel and the rear wheel.
To this end, in the specification, a basic brake system for implementing the method for controlling braking force in the regenerative brake cooperation control will be schematically described. Further, based on the brake system, a method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control, which includes a braking force distributing scheme of appropriately distributing regenerative braking force and hydraulic braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel will be described based on the brake system.
In this regard, in the present specification, a brake system having a form represented in
For example, an electro mechanical brake (EMB) system which can independently control braking force of four wheels may also be included.
Further, in the present specification, implementation examples of the method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are described, but inventions disclosed in the claims should not be limitatively analyzed by the implementation examples and should be analyzed to include various implementation examples contrived by the gist of the present invention.
Hereinafter, the method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the method for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperation control according to the exemplary implementation example of the present invention, independent control of braking force of a front wheel and a rear wheel is requested. Therefore, as illustrated in
The system is configured to include a pressure generating unit 100 including a motor 101 and a pump 102 and a high-pressure tank 103 and a pressure controller 200 configured to control the braking force of each wheel by controlling pressure generated by the pressure generating unit 100.
When a brake pedal 201 applies pressure to a master cylinder 203 through a push rod 202, the system receives information on a stroke unit to open a simulator valve 204 and closes cut valves 207 and 208.
When a pedal is more deeply stepped, reaction force of the pedal is generated by an elastic member such as a spring in a pedal simulator 205.
Front-wheel target pressure corresponding to a pedal stroke moves a flow at the pressure tank side to a pipe at a front wheel side by opening a first apply valve 215 to generate pressure.
Further, rear-wheel target pressure corresponding to the pedal stroke moves the flow at the pressure tank side to a pipe at a rear wheel side by opening a second apply valve 216 to generate pressure.
The pressure that moves to the pipe at the front wheel side or the rear wheel side through the first and second apply valves is configured to form the hydraulic pressure at the respective wheel sides by normally open valves 209 and 211 formed at the respective front wheels.
Meanwhile, when the pressure in the pipe intends to be decreased or the hydraulic pressure intends to be released, the flow is discharged by opening a first release valve 217 or a second release valve 218 to depressurize or release the pressure.
Undescribed normally closed valves 210 and 212 are connected to a reservoir 206 side.
Therefore, the regenerative brake for the H-Split pipe illustrated in
The brake system is used by distributing drive forces of the front wheel and the rear wheel according to a braking line diagram set to maximize the regenerative braking force within a range to suppress rear-wheel lock from first occurring.
Accordingly, according to the exemplary implementation example of the present invention, the method includes a step of setting a reference deceleration, distributing the braking force of the front wheel and the rear with inclusion of the regenerating braking force for at least one of the front wheel and the rear wheel up to a reference deceleration point, and increasing the regenerative braking force.
Further, the method includes a step of distributing the braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel at a predetermined ratio according to a reference braking distribution ratio of a predetermined value in an area equal to or more than the reference deceleration, and as a result, the braking force may be sufficiently secured under a situation in which a vehicle weight increases.
In this regard,
First,
Preferably, the reference deceleration point (point A) is a point where the ideal braking distribution line and the braking distribution line based on the distribution represented by the front-wheel and rear-wheel brake specifications cross.
In this case, a linearized braking force distribution line of
Accordingly, when a braking distribution ratio of the front wheel and the rear wheel after point A is referred to as a reference braking distribution ratio, the reference braking distribution ratio may be a braking ratio of a basic braking distribution line in the related art and distributed at an appropriate braking ratio by considering a design element.
As illustrated in
That is, the actual braking distribution line according to the present implementation example shows the same form as the hydraulic braking distribution line after point A, but set to follow the ideal braking distribution line before point A, and as a result, the rear-wheel regenerative braking force may be relatively further used like an area marked by an oblique line. Accordingly, since the regenerative braking amount may be increased, recoverable energy is increased.
Further, the braking force is distributed to have a predetermined distribution ratio between the front wheel and the rear wheel like the linearized form of
As illustrated in
When the rear-wheel regenerative braking force is provided, the braking force of the front wheel may be generated only by hydraulic friction braking force instead of the front-wheel regenerative braking force.
In the implementation example, since front-wheel target pressure and rear-wheel target pressure are determined according to the braking force distribution and the regenerative braking amount of the front wheel and the rear wheel, the front-wheel target pressure and the rear-wheel target pressure may not be the same pressure.
Moreover, as described above, the same scheme as the present implementation example may be applied to the brake system that may independently control the braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel like a 4-wheel EMB system.
In the implementation example, the braking force of the front and rear wheels is applied similarly to the front-rear braking force ratio by the existing hydraulic braking force. Further, like
Such a method may secure vehicle stability at the same level as the existing hydraulic brake system.
The present implementation example is a braking force distribution method for a vehicle in which only the rear-wheel regenerative braking is possible. That is, the braking force of the front and rear wheels is used similarly to the front-rear braking force ratio by the existing hydraulic braking force and the regenerative braking force is generated up to the deceleration which may be generated by the rear-wheel regenerative brake in the rear-wheel braking force.
Such a method may also secure vehicle stability at the same level as the existing hydraulic brake system.
In the present implementation example, braking is performed only by the front-wheel and rear-wheel regenerative braking force up to a deceleration at a level of point B. In this case, a ratio of the front and rear-wheel regenerative braking force is determined by maximum regenerative braking force output from each of the front wheel and the rear wheel. That is, for example, when a ratio in output maximum regenerative braking force between the front wheel and the rear wheel is 1:2, the braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel is distributed at the same ratio.
Therefore, up to point B, each of the front wheel and the rear wheel generates the maximum regenerative braking force and in the deceleration area at the level of B point or more, the hydraulic pressure of the front and rear wheels are similarly generated like the front-wheel regenerative brake system.
Referring to
Since such a method may maximize the regenerative braking amount, a fuel efficiency improvement effect may be increased.

In the present implementation example, braking is performed only by the front-wheel and rear-wheel regenerative braking force up to a deceleration at a level of point B. In this case, a ratio of the front and rear-wheel regenerative braking force is determined by maximum regenerative braking force output from each of the front wheel and the rear wheel. That is, for example, when a ratio in output maximum regenerative braking force between the front wheel and the rear wheel is 1:2, the braking force of the front wheel and the rear wheel is distributed at the same ratio.
Therefore, up to point B, each of the front wheel and the rear wheel generates the maximum regenerative braking force and in the deceleration area at the level of B point or more, the hydraulic pressure of the front and rear wheels are similarly generated like the front-wheel regenerative brake system.

Referring to
Since such a method may maximize the regenerative braking amount, a fuel efficiency improvement effect may be increased.
As illustrated in
After the front wheel/rear wheel braking distribution is the same as a basic braking distribution line, front wheel/rear wheel braking forces are simultaneously increased with the same distribution as the basic braking distribution line.
In the implementation example of
That is, as illustrated in
After the front wheel/rear wheel braking force distribution is the same as a basic braking distribution line, front wheel/rear wheel braking forces are simultaneously increased with the same distribution as the actual braking distribution.
First,
After the front wheel/rear wheel braking force distribution is the same as a basic braking distribution line, front wheel/rear wheel braking forces are simultaneously increased with the same distribution as the actual braking distribution.
Further, in the implementation example of
After the front wheel/rear wheel braking force distribution is the same as a basic braking distribution line, front wheel/rear wheel braking forces are simultaneously increased with the same distribution as the actual braking distribution.
Meanwhile, in the exemplary the implementation example of the present invention, the actual braking distribution line may be implemented to be close to the braking distribution line of a curb vehicle weight or more only in some sections, and the example is illustrated in
In order to improve regenerative braking energy recovery rate, next, as illustrated in
In detail, in the implementation example, as illustrated in
In this case, the braking distribution line is set to several straight sections at a section set to approximate to the abnormal braking distribution line or the distribution line may be set at a predetermined ratio (for example, 90%, 95%, and the like) of the braking distribution of CVW or more.
After a point (point M) meeting with the braking distribution of CVW or more, a loss of braking force under a gross vehicle weight (GVW) condition is prevented to have the same distribution as the basic braking distribution line.
The weight reference of the abnormal braking line may be set based on one-person riding or two-person riding, not the CVW.
Further, in the case where a technique capable of sensing a weight of the vehicle is combined, the braking force may be distributed along the ideal braking distribution line according to the weight of the vehicle.
Meanwhile,
Next, in
In this case, when the size of the rear-wheel regenerative braking force is too large, possibility that a rear wheel lock is generated on a road surface with a low friction coefficient is increased, and thus the rear-wheel regenerative braking force is limited to be generated only up to a rear-wheel regenerative braking limit at a predetermined level.
For example, based on a friction coefficient on the ice, on the road surface with a friction coefficient larger than the friction coefficient on the ice, the front wheel lock is set to be generated, and on the road surface with a friction coefficient smaller than the friction coefficient on the ice, the rear wheel lock may be generated.
Referring to
Meanwhile,
That is, the front-wheel regenerative braking is maximally generated (up to a point T), and the rear-wheel regenerative braking force is generated to a predetermined level or less by limiting the rear-wheel regenerative braking (up to a point U). However, in the case of forming the hydraulic braking force according to actual braking distribution, unlike forming the front-wheel hydraulic barking force, in the case of the rear wheel, the limited rear-wheel regenerative braking force is maximally generated within a range that does not exceed the basic braking distribution line.
Accordingly, the point D becomes a maximal braking force point which may be generated by the rear-wheel regenerative braking force.
