The vertical vibration control based on the unsprung mass is mainly based on the vibration degree of the unsprung mass and the change trend along with the vehicle speed, and two-dimensional table lookup is carried out, namely the unsprung acceleration and the vehicle speed in the vehicle state information are carried out to obtain a suspension damping coefficient C w so as to inhibit the vibration of the unsprung mass, namely the vibration phenomenon of wheels. The table can be calibrated later according to actual vehicle performance.
The vehicle body pitching motion control based on the vehicle body pitching comfort is mainly based on calibration of the vehicle pitch angle rate and the vehicle speed, and the vehicle pitch angle rate and the vehicle speed in the vehicle state information are subjected to two-dimensional table lookup to obtain a suspension damping coefficient C θ so as to control the vehicle pitching smoothness.

And S3, based on the acquired vehicle state information and aiming at guaranteeing the running operation stability performance of the vehicle, analyzing and calculating the second damping force by a running operation stability performance calculation module of the vehicle.

Referring to fig. 4, the longitudinal damping coefficient is obtained by separately performing a two-dimensional lookup table according to the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle, the stroke of the brake pedal, the opening degree of the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle speed, taking front and rear suspensions into consideration, and outputting a damping coefficient required for braking and a damping coefficient required for acceleration, wherein the maximum value of the damping coefficient required for braking and the damping coefficient required for acceleration is used as the longitudinal damping coefficient. The longitudinal damping force output control is mainly divided into acceleration damping force output control and deceleration damping force output control according to the longitudinal acceleration direction (forward positive and backward negative). The acceleration damping force output control is mainly used for calibrating damping coefficients according to the longitudinal acceleration a x, the accelerator opening T tr and the vehicle speed V spd, and the damping coefficients are correspondingly increased along with the increase of the acceleration. The deceleration damping force output control considers a conventional braking damping force control output and an emergency braking damping force control output. When the vehicle is braked normally, the relation between the longitudinal deceleration a x and the damping coefficient is calibrated, and the relation between the brake pedal stroke D brkpdl and the vehicle speed V spd and the damping coefficient is calibrated, so that the front axle compression damping force and the rear suspension rebound damping force are calibrated in an increasing trend, and the vehicle body nodding action in the braking process of the vehicle is improved. When the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle or the stroke of the brake pedal reaches a certain threshold value, the vehicle is judged to be emergency braking, the front suspension compression damping force is further increased, the rear suspension rebound damping force is slightly reduced by calibrating the parameter table, so that the possibility of the rear suspension tyre being lifted off the ground is improved, and the ground grabbing property of the vehicle is ensured.
The lateral damping coefficient is obtained by carrying out two-dimensional table lookup according to the lateral acceleration, steering wheel angle and steering wheel angular velocity of the vehicle and considering the left and right of front and rear suspensions, and outputting the damping coefficient required by lateral overbending, namely the lateral damping coefficient. The method mainly considers that the shock absorber has larger effect on transient working conditions when the vehicle roll angle speed changes, and the damping force is smaller but cannot be ignored under steady working conditions, wherein the two conditions mainly are that the damping force is increased to improve the vehicle roll angle speed and the roll angle, but the method also considers that the damping force is suggested to be reduced under the condition that the vehicle is in a limit state so as to reduce the left-right shift of axle load and improve the limit ground grabbing property of the vehicle. Therefore, the lateral damping force output control is divided into lateral steady-state damping force output control, lateral transient damping force output control and lateral limit state damping force output control, and the lateral damping coefficient output arbitration is carried out according to actual user scenes. The lateral steady-state damping force output control performs damping coefficient calibration according to the lateral acceleration a y, the lateral transient damping force output control performs damping coefficient two-dimensional calibration according to the steering wheel corner Swa, the steering wheel angular speed SwaRate and the vehicle speed V spd, and the lateral limit state damping force output control performs damping coefficient calibration according to the lateral acceleration.

The calculation formula of the suspension target damping force F damp is F damp=FRide×RR+FHanding×RH, wherein F Ride is a first damping force, F Handing is a second damping force, R R is a first weight coefficient, R H is a second weight coefficient, and the first weight coefficient and the second weight coefficient are calibrated in advance according to different driving modes.
Referring to fig. 5, according to the driving mode input of the vehicle, the comfort mode is when the mode input is 1, the sport mode is when the mode input is 2, the energy saving mode is 4 when the mode input is 3, and other mode input signals are unified into other modes. The above mode inputs "1, 2,3, 4" are defined and are not fixed, and are shown only by way of example and are not mandatory. The invention mainly provides a method for outputting operating stability and a smoothness weight coefficient under different modes, which can cover the mode types listed above and can be developed according to user requirements, wherein the operating stability and the weight coefficient are calibrated according to the vehicle speed under different mode requirements, for example, under a comfort mode, when the speed is low, the smoothness output damping force, namely the first damping force F Ride, is degraded to a small extent, the operating stability output damping force, namely the second damping force F Handing, is degraded to a large extent, when the speed is medium, the smoothness output damping force, namely the first damping force F Ride, is maintained to be output, the operating stability output damping force, namely the second damping force F Handing, is degraded to a small extent, and when the speed is high, the smoothness output damping force, namely the first damping force F Ride, is maintained to be output, and the stability output damping force, namely the second damping force F Handing, is maintained to be output, so that two change curves of the weight coefficients of the first damping force F Ride and the second damping force F Handing along with the vehicle speed are formed. In the method, the change curves of the weight coefficients of the first damping force F Ride and the second damping force F Handing along with the speed of the vehicle can be calibrated according to the real vehicle requirements, and the invention only enumerates and displays the calibration thought.
And S5, adjusting the current of the driving control unit of the adjustable damping shock absorber according to the suspension target damping force obtained in the S4.
In this embodiment, the maximum and minimum damping clip outputs are acceptable based on different road surfaces. The maximum and minimum damping forces acceptable under different road surfaces such as rough cement road, smooth asphalt road, long wave road, broken road and the like are considered to be practically inconsistent. Because it is not sufficient to calibrate one corresponding ideal damping force with a different road surface in view of the handling stability conditions, it is recommended to calibrate an acceptable maximum and minimum damping force with a different road surface. And clipping the suspension target damping force F damp according to the calibrated maximum and minimum damping forces.
The above output suspension target damping force F damp has been made available to the user, but in view of safety, damping force amplification output is performed based on a specific condition or output with a fixed current. When the vehicle is excessively large in pits or large in protrusions, the suspension can reach a dead point or a limit stretching position to cause abnormal sound of iron bump of the vehicle, so that discomfort is caused to a user. And judging whether the vehicle is in a limit travel range or not according to the height sensor signal, calibrating a correction coefficient according to the height signal and the vehicle speed when a certain travel threshold value, namely a preset travel threshold value, and multiplying the correction coefficient with the suspension target damping force obtained in the step S4 to obtain the final suspension target damping force. And according to the relation among the speed of the shock absorber, the damping force of the shock absorber and the target current, the final target current is obtained by table look-up, namely the current of the driving control unit of the adjustable damping shock absorber.
When the vehicle receives a signal such as ABS/ESC or when the vehicle fails, the vehicle is operated at a fixed current, which can be subsequently calibrated. The part is not repeated, different safety coping strategies can be designed according to different requirements, and the invention only performs example display and does not impose requirements.
