Hybrid vehicle engine and electric motor maximum speed limit control method and system

Abstract

The present invention provides a control method and system for limiting maximum rotational speeds of an engine and a motor of a hybrid vehicle including an engine clutch configured to control power transmission between the engine and the motor. The control method includes: determining whether the rotational speed of the engine exceeds a predetermined maximum engine rotational speed; determining whether the rotational speed of the electric motor exceeds a predetermined maximum electric motor rotational speed; when the rotational speed of the above-mentioned engine exceeds a predetermined maximum engine rotational speed, configuring the limiting the speed of the engine; and limiting the speed of the electric motor based on a predetermined motor torque profile when the speed of the electric motor exceeds a predetermined maximum motor speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control method and system for limiting the maximum rotational speed of an engine and an electric motor of a hybrid vehicle. Background technique [0002] Hybrid vehicles run on power from an internal combustion engine and from an electric motor with the help of a battery. In particular, hybrid vehicles are designed to efficiently combine and use power from an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. [0003] For example, if figure 1 As shown, the hybrid vehicle includes: an engine 10; an electric motor 20; an engine clutch 30 controlling power transmission between the engine 10 and the electric motor 20; a transmission 40; a differential gear 50; a battery 60; an integrated starter generator (ISG: Integrated Starter-generator) 70 for electric power; and wheels 80 . [0004] Also shown in the figure, the hybrid vehicle includes: a hybrid control unit (HCU: Hybrid Control Unit) 200 that controls the overall ...

Problems solved by technology

[0026] Second, it may not be easy to maintain the transmission input speed at the speed value used to limit the maximum speed of the engine or electric motor

That is, when the maximum speed of the engine or electric motor is limited to 6200rpm, the input speed of the transmission may exceed 6200rpm

In this case, it may not be easy to protect the transmission hardware system and the electric power equipment hardware system

[0027] Third, when the engine clutch is locked, it is difficult to maintain consistency in the maximum torque limits of the engine and electric motor due to the speed difference between the engine and electric motor

For example, when the engine is fuel-cut due to the maximum torque limit, the battery's state of charge (SOC: State of Charge) may deteriorate as the electric motor generates additional torque to meet the demand torque

[0028] Fourth, shift shock and shift delay may occur due to drastic changes in the input torque to the transmission
