Method, device, vehicle, medium and equipment for determining target driving mode of hybrid vehicle

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on March 10, 2023, with application number 2023102343698 and application name “Target driving mode determination method, device, vehicle, medium and equipment for hybrid vehicle”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of hybrid vehicle control, and in particular to a method, device, vehicle, medium, and equipment for determining a target driving mode of a hybrid vehicle. Background Art

[0003] In recent years, for the sake of environmental protection and energy conservation and emission reduction, hybrid vehicles have been favored by more and more manufacturers due to their technical advantages such as long driving range and low fuel consumption.

[0004] Hybrid vehicles, compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, incorporate batteries as an energy source, thus providing greater driving force. When accelerating or overtaking with the accelerator fully depressed, drivers expect the vehicle to deliver greater power output. Vehicle power output is limited by the operating conditions of the engine, drive motor, and battery. These three components are closely related to the vehicle's drive mode. Different drive modes can cause the engine, drive motor, and battery to operate in different states, resulting in different powertrain outputs. Therefore, selecting a drive mode that best meets the driver's power needs has become a pressing issue for researchers in this field. CN101445043A discloses a hybrid drive system. This scheme describes how to determine whether the vehicle's drive mode is pure electric (EV), series, or parallel by setting a first predetermined charge (SOC0), a second predetermined charge (SOC1), and a third predetermined charge (SOC2); comparing these values ​​with the actual SOC; comparing the first predetermined vehicle speed (Velo1) and the second predetermined vehicle speed (Velo2) with the current vehicle speed (Velo); and considering whether the EV button is pressed. The method provided in this solution simply relies on the calibration settings of the predetermined SOC and the predetermined vehicle speed to determine the vehicle's driving mode, and does not involve the content of determining the vehicle's driving mode in combination with the driver's power acceleration demand.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present application from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present application.

In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0085] Because existing hybrid vehicles only consider drive mode selection based on certain vehicle calibration data and lack the technical means to select the optimal drive mode that meets the driver's power requirements by considering whether the driver has a power acceleration demand, the accuracy of the vehicle's target drive mode determination is low, resulting in insufficient or weak acceleration after switching drive modes, leading to user complaints. To address this issue, embodiments of the present application provide a method for determining the target drive mode of a hybrid vehicle. This method no longer relies solely on the accuracy of SOC and vehicle speed signals and calibration experience, but instead predicts the target engine speed based on the vehicle's state and calculates the vehicle's maximum power in different drive modes, thereby improving the accuracy of target drive mode determination. Furthermore, when the driver has a power acceleration demand, the method of this embodiment can promptly and accurately determine the target drive mode that maximizes the vehicle's performance, ensuring that the driver's power acceleration demand is fully met. This avoids user complaints caused by insufficient or weak acceleration due to not switching to the appropriate drive mode.

[0086] 1 , the target drive mode determination method for a hybrid vehicle provided in this embodiment is primarily applicable to hybrid vehicles having the following features: a hybrid vehicle comprising at least: a power battery, an engine, a drive motor, a generator, and a clutch; the engine being connectable to or disconnectable from the wheel end via the clutch; the drive motor being directly connected to the wheel end; the drive motor being connected to the power battery; the generator being connected to the engine; and the generator being connected to the power battery and / or the drive motor. Specifically, with respect to the hybrid vehicle with configuration P13 in FIG1 , the generator refers to the P1 motor in FIG1 , the drive motor refers to the P3 motor in FIG1 , and the clutch refers to the K3 clutch in FIG1 . For a hybrid vehicle with configuration P13, the P1 generator is connected to both the power battery and the P3 drive motor. In this embodiment, the hybrid vehicle described above can also be applied to vehicles with other configurations, as long as the vehicles have the aforementioned specific features.

[0087] As shown in FIG2 and FIG4 , the hybrid vehicle driving mode control method provided in this embodiment specifically includes:

[0088] Step S10, obtaining the operating parameters of the vehicle.

[0089] In this embodiment, the vehicle operating parameters specifically include the following parameters:

[0090] Vehicle speed, accelerator pedal signal, actual battery SOC, total speed ratio from engine to wheel end, tire diameter, maximum driving power of the drive motor at the current speed, maximum power of the engine's external characteristics, maximum power generation of the generator's external characteristics, and available battery driving power.

[0091] Among them, the above-mentioned vehicle speed signal and accelerator pedal signal are obtained in real time from relevant sensors on the vehicle, and the tire diameter is a preset value; the total speed ratio from the engine to the wheel end is a preset value, the maximum driving power of the drive motor at the current speed is obtained from the drive motor external characteristic curve, the actual battery SOC and the battery available driving power are obtained from the battery control unit, the maximum generated power of the generator external characteristic is obtained from the generator external characteristic curve, and the maximum power of the engine external characteristic is obtained from the engine external characteristic curve.

[0092] Step S20 : ​​determining the driver's required power based on the vehicle's operating parameters.

[0093] Specifically, the driver's required power is determined based on the vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal signal. The driver's required power is obtained by looking up a table based on the vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal opening, and a predetermined correspondence table of vehicle speed and accelerator pedal opening is pre-calibrated.

[0094] Step S30 : when it is identified according to the driver's required power that the driver has a power acceleration demand, the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode and the parallel mode is determined based on the vehicle's operating parameters.

[0095] If the driver's requested power exceeds the preset power, it is determined that the driver has a powered acceleration request; otherwise, it is determined that the driver has a non-powered acceleration request. The preset power is determined based on the vehicle speed and the actual battery SOC. A pre-calibrated table of predetermined correspondences between vehicle speed, actual battery SOC, and preset power is used to determine the specific value of the preset power by looking up the table.

[0096] Specifically, the steps of determining the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode based on the operating parameters of the vehicle include:

[0097] Step S311, adding the smaller value of the maximum power of the engine external characteristics and the maximum power generated by the generator external characteristics to the available driving power of the battery to obtain a sum value;

[0098] Step S312 : Determine the smaller value between the sum and the maximum driving power of the driving motor at the current speed as the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode.

[0099] The steps of determining the maximum power of the vehicle in the parallel mode based on the operating parameters of the vehicle include:

[0100] Step S321, determining the maximum driving power at the target synchronous speed of the engine based on the vehicle speed, the total speed ratio from the engine to the wheel end, and the tire diameter;

[0101] Step S322 : The maximum power of the vehicle in the parallel mode is obtained by adding the smaller value of the maximum driving power of the driving motor at the current speed and the available driving power of the battery to the maximum driving power at the target synchronous speed of the engine.

[0102] 3 , in this embodiment, step S321 specifically includes:

[0103] Step S3211, determining the engine synchronous speed based on the vehicle speed, the engine-to-wheel speed ratio, and the tire diameter;

[0104] Step S3212, determining the engine synchronous speed change rate based on the engine synchronous speed and the engine synchronous speed determined N preset cycles ago;

[0105] Step S3213, determining the target engine synchronous speed based on the engine synchronous speed and the engine synchronous speed change rate;

[0106] Step S3214: Determine the maximum driving power at the target synchronous speed of the engine based on the target synchronous speed of the engine.

[0107] Furthermore, PwrMax SHEV PwrMax is the maximum power of the vehicle in series mode, calculated as follows: SHEV =min[P3PwrMax,min(EngPwrMax,P1GenPwrMax)+BattDrvPwr]

[0108] Among them, P3PwrMax is the maximum driving power of the drive motor at the current speed, EngPwrMax is the maximum driving power of the engine's external characteristics, P1GenPwrMax is the maximum generated power of the generator's external characteristics, and BattDrvPwr is the available driving power of the battery.

[0109] Further, PwrMax PHEV PwrMax is the maximum power of the vehicle in parallel mode. The calculation formula is as follows: PHEV =EngPwrMax Synspd +min[P3PwrMax,BattDrvPwr]

[0110] Among them, EngPwrMax Synspd is the maximum driving power at the target synchronous speed of the engine, P3PwrMax is the maximum driving power of the drive motor at the current speed, and BattDrvPwr is the available driving power of the battery.

[0111] Furthermore, TgtSynSpd is the target synchronous speed of the engine, and the calculation formula is as follows: TgtSynSpd = Spd equi+SpdRate equi *δ

[0112] Among them, Spd equi is the engine synchronous speed, δ is the prediction coefficient, which is a calibrated value, such as 1.

[0113] Further, SpdRate equi is the engine synchronous speed change rate, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0114] in, is the synchronous speed of the engine N calculation cycles ago, which is a calibrated value, such as 3.

[0115] Further, Spd equi is the engine synchronous speed, and the calculation formula is as follows: Spd equi =VehSpd*1000*η / 60 / π / D

[0116] Where VehSpd is the vehicle speed, η is the total speed ratio from the engine to the wheel end, and D is the tire diameter.

[0117] Step S40 : determining a target driving mode of the hybrid vehicle based on a dynamic performance angle based on the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode and the parallel mode, respectively.

[0118] Specifically, if a difference between the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode and the maximum power of the vehicle in the parallel mode is greater than a first predetermined difference, or if the maximum power of the vehicle in the series mode is greater than the maximum power of the vehicle in the parallel mode, determining that the target driving mode of the hybrid vehicle based on the dynamics perspective is the series mode;

[0119] If the difference between the maximum power of the vehicle in parallel mode and the maximum power of the vehicle in series mode is greater than a second preset difference, or if the maximum power of the vehicle in parallel mode is greater than or equal to the maximum power of the vehicle in series mode, the target driving mode of the hybrid vehicle based on the dynamic perspective is determined to be the parallel mode.

[0120] That is, if (PwrMax SHEV -PwrMax PHEV )≥TBD1 (first preset difference), TBD1 is a calibration value, such as 2Kw, or, if PwrMax SHEV ﹥PwrMax PHEV , the output target driving mode is series mode.

[0121] Furthermore, if (PwrMax PHEV -PwrMax SHEV)≥TBD2 (second preset difference), TBD2 is a calibration value, such as 2Kw, or, if PwrMax PHEV ≥PwrMax SHEV , the output target drive mode is parallel mode.

[0122] Step S50 : When the driver's unpowered acceleration demand is identified according to the driver's demanded power, the maximum power of the vehicle in the pure electric mode is determined based on the vehicle's operating parameters.

[0123] In this embodiment, step S50 specifically includes:

[0124] In step S511 , the smaller value between the available driving power of the battery and the maximum driving power of the driving motor at the current speed is determined as the maximum power of the vehicle in the pure electric mode.

[0125] Step S60 : determining a target driving mode of the hybrid vehicle based on a non-power angle based on the maximum power of the vehicle in the pure electric mode and the power required by the driver.

[0126] In this embodiment, the non-dynamic angle may be an economic angle or other angles.

[0127] In this embodiment, the priority of the hybrid vehicle target driving mode based on the non-power angle is higher than the priority of the hybrid vehicle target driving mode based on the non-power angle.

[0128] Specifically, step S60 includes:

[0129] Step S611 , if the driver's required power is less than the maximum power of the vehicle in the pure electric mode, determining the target driving mode of the hybrid vehicle based on the non-power angle to be the pure electric mode;

[0130] Step S612 : If the driver's required power is greater than or equal to the maximum power of the vehicle in the pure electric mode, the hybrid vehicle target driving mode based on the non-power angle is determined as the current driving mode of the vehicle.

[0131] The above method of this embodiment can promptly and accurately determine the target driving mode that can achieve the maximum capability of the vehicle when the driver has a power acceleration demand, so that the driver's power acceleration demand can be met to the maximum extent, thereby avoiding user complaints caused by insufficient vehicle acceleration or weak acceleration due to failure to switch to the appropriate driving mode.
