Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electromechanical coupling power steering system of a plug-in hybrid electric bus and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Since the plug-in hybrid bus has two working modes of pure electric and hybrid, it is necessary to install an electric power steering system to ensure the steering requirements in pure electric mode. [0003] At present, the power steering of traditional bus products in China is generally powered by an engine-driven hydraulic pump, and the power steering of an electric bus is powered by a hydraulic pump driven by a power battery. For plug-in hybrid electric buses, both approaches appear to be feasible. However, if the traditional power steering system of the engine is still used, then even if the vehicle is in pure electric drive mode, the engine must be at idle speed, which still consumes fuel and cannot make full use of the power of the power battery, and the energy saving effect wi...

Problems solved by technology

However, if the traditional power steering system of the engine is still used, then even if the vehicle is in pure electric drive mode, the engine must be at idle speed, which still consumes fuel and cannot make full use of the power of the power battery, and the energy saving effect will be reduced; Power assist, the power battery power must not only meet a certain mileage, but also need to provide part of the energy to supply the power booster motor, the energy of the power battery will increase, and the cost of the whole vehicle will increase.

At the same time, if the electric power assist fails at this time, there will be certain safety hazards if there is no backup power assist system
