Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of hybrid tractors, and particularly relates to a series-parallel hybrid tractor drive system and a control method therefor. Background Art
[0002] At present, most tractors on the market still use diesel engines as power sources. Moreover, the operating environment of tractors is complex and changeable, and the energy utilization efficiency of the drive system is relatively poor. Under high-load conditions, the engine fuel cannot be fully burned, and a large amount of pollutants are contained in the exhaust emissions. Problems such as high fuel consumption and high pollution of traditional tractors have become particularly prominent. Therefore, carrying out research on energy-saving and environmentally friendly agricultural special vehicles, especially tractors in the form of electromechanical coupling, is of great significance for improving energy utilization efficiency and environmental protection.
[0003] In the research of hybrid tractors, drive modes such as series, parallel speed coupling, or parallel torque coupling are mostly adopted. These three modes are difficult to meet the complex working conditions of tractors. For the series drive mode, due to the large power range of tractors, the motor needs to maintain a high efficiency within a large range, which requires high performance of the motor, and the energy loss is large after multiple conversions, resulting in a low overall efficiency; for the parallel speed coupling drive mode, stepless speed change in sections of the tractor can be achieved, but under high-load conditions of the tractor, high performance of the motor and the power battery pack is required, and the total cost is relatively high; for the parallel torque coupling drive mode, high-load coupling drive of the tractor can be achieved, but under the condition of the tractor traveling at high speed, high performance of the motor and the power battery pack is required, and the total cost is relatively high. The hybrid tractors disclosed in the prior art generally have problems such as overly single operation modes, insufficient power performance, and low energy utilization efficiency.

[0025] The present invention also provides a control method for the drive system of a series-parallel hybrid tractor as described above, specifically as follows: SOCh is preset as the upper limit value of the high-efficiency area of the power battery pack SOC, SOCl is preset as the lower limit value of the high-efficiency area of the power battery pack SOC, Treq,cd is the demand torque of the tractor equivalent to the central drive shaft; Te_l,cd is the lower limit of the high-efficiency working interval torque of the engine equivalent to the central drive shaft, Te_h,cd is the upper limit of the high-efficiency working interval torque of the engine equivalent to the central drive shaft, ne_l,cd is the lower limit of the high-efficiency working interval speed of the engine equivalent to the central drive shaft, ne_h,cd is the upper limit of the high-efficiency working interval speed of the engine equivalent to the central drive shaft; after the control system of the series-parallel hybrid tractor is started, the whole vehicle enters the self-check of the control system. After the self-check of the control system passes, the whole machine controller obtains the key signal, mode signal, position signal, torque signal, and speed signal. The whole machine controller determines the drive system start mode according to the obtained information, and at the same time sends control signals to the engine controller, the transmission system controller, the energy management unit, the P1 motor controller, the PS motor controller, and the distribution box. After the drive system starts, the whole machine controller sends control signals according to the tractor power demand information and operation information, so as to control the tractor to switch to different drive modes.
[0026] The drive modes and the corresponding switching methods are specifically as follows:
[0027] A. Pure electric drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor cannot enable the engine to operate in the high-efficiency region, and the SOC of the power battery pack satisfies SOC > SOCl, the tractor demand torque satisfies Treq,cd ≤ Te_l,cd, and the demand speed satisfies nreq,cd ≤ ne_h,cd, switch to the pure electric drive mode; at this time, turn off the engine, and the power battery pack alone provides energy to the PS motor to drive the tractor running system to run.
[0028] B. Series drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor cannot enable the engine to operate in the high-efficiency region, and the state of charge SOC of the power battery pack ≤ SOCl, the tractor demand torque satisfies Treq,cd ≤ Te_l,cd, and the demand speed satisfies nreq,cd ≤ ne_h,cd, switch to the series drive mode; at this time, decouple the engine output shaft from the power reversing device, start the engine by the P1 motor, and then the engine drives the P1 motor to generate electricity. The power battery pack and the P1 motor simultaneously or the P1 motor alone provide energy for the PS motor drive; when the SOC of the power battery pack reaches SOCl, carry out charging protection, the engine drives the P1 motor to generate electricity, and the P1 motor provides energy for the PS motor and the power battery pack simultaneously. When it reaches SOCh, carry out trickle charging protection; in this mode, the engine can operate under the best working conditions to drive the P1 motor to generate electricity, provide energy for the PS motor and the power battery pack, and provide power for the tractor running system in series.
[0029] C. Engine independent drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor reaches the best working condition range of the engine and the tractor running speed and the external working environment change little, and the tractor demand torque satisfies Te_l,cd <
[0030] Treq,cd ≤ Te_h,cd, and the demand speed satisfies ne_l,cd < nreq,cd ≤ ne_h,cd, switch to the engine independent drive mode; at this time, neither the P1 motor nor the PS motor works, and the power of the engine is all transmitted to the tractor running system by mechanical transmission. Since the power does not pass through the electric drive device, the energy loss caused by energy conversion can be avoided, and the system efficiency is the highest in this mode.
[0031] D. Parallel torque coupling drive mode: When the tractor torque demand changes greatly, and the SOC of the power battery pack satisfies SOC > SOCl, the tractor demand torque satisfies Treq,cd > Te_h,cd, and the demand speed satisfies ne_l,cd < nreq,cd ≤ ne_h,cd, switch to the parallel torque coupling drive mode. The P1 motor absorbs the excess power output by the engine to convert it into electric energy and store it in the power battery pack or provide it to the PS motor. The engine and the PS motor provide power for the tractor running system by torque coupling.
[0032] E. Parallel speed coupling drive mode: When the speed demand of the tractor changes significantly, and the SOC of the power battery pack satisfies SOC > SOCl, the demand torque of the tractor satisfies Te_l,cd < Treq,cd ≤ Te_h,cd, and the demand speed satisfies nreq,cd > ne_h,cd, switch to the parallel speed coupling drive mode; The P1 motor absorbs the excess power output by the engine to convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power battery pack or supply it to the PS motor, and the engine and the PS motor provide power for the tractor running system through the speed coupling method;
[0033] F. Energy recovery mode: When the tractor brakes or decelerates, the demand torque of the tractor Treq,cd < 0, and the mechanical energy of the tractor running system drives the PS motor in reverse to generate electricity, realizing braking / deceleration energy recovery. At this time, the engine stops or decouples from the tractor running system.
[0034] The specific method for the series-parallel hybrid tractor to select the drive system startup method includes the following steps:
[0035] Step S1.1. First, the control system is based on the SOC of the power battery pack. If SOC > SOCl, go to step S1.2, otherwise go to step S1.3;
[0036] Step S1.2. If the demand torque of the tractor satisfies Treq,cd ≤ Te_l,cd, the tractor starts purely electrically and directly goes to step S1.4; otherwise go to step S1.3;
[0037] Step S1.3. The tractor starts the engine first. If the demand torque of the tractor satisfies Treq,cd ≤ Te_l,cd, the tractor performs a series startup; otherwise, only start the engine;
[0038] Step S1.4. The startup of the tractor drive system is completed.
[0039] The beneficial effects brought by the present invention are:
[0040] 1. The series-parallel hybrid drive system described in the present invention can make the engine operate in the optimal working area by adjusting the dual motors, improve its fuel economy through the energy flow path, combine the easy control of electric drive with the high efficiency of mechanical drive, and can effectively improve the performance of the whole vehicle and achieve stepless speed change in the range.
[0041] 2. The series-parallel hybrid drive system consists of an engine, two motors, and a series-parallel hybrid transmission system. Through control, six modes can be achieved, namely pure electric drive, series drive, independent engine drive, parallel torque coupling drive, parallel speed coupling drive, and energy recovery. The multi-mode drive method is beneficial for the tractor to operate in various complex environments and improves the power performance, economy, and adaptability of the whole vehicle.
[0042] 3. The power reversing device of the transmission system can make the number of forward gears and reverse gears of the tractor the same, improve the working ability of the tractor when reversing, and is beneficial to improving the flexibility of the tractor in field operations.
[0043] 4. The torque coupling device of the transmission system can achieve the torque coupling between the engine and the PS motor, reduce the complexity of the tractor transmission system, and at the same time meet the operating requirements of the tractor for low speed and large torque; it can effectively improve the traction characteristics of the tractor.
[0044] 5. The speed coupling device of the transmission system can achieve the speed coupling between the engine and the PS motor, reduce the complexity of the tractor transmission system, and at the same time meet the operating requirements of the tractor for stepless speed change in a certain range.
[0045] 6. When the hybrid tractor is in a short-term stop in place or braking while moving, the system enters the energy recovery mode to improve the overall energy utilization rate of the machine. Description of the Drawings

[0073] The overall machine controller 4 obtains the information of the engine controller 3, the transmission system controller 5, the energy management unit 6, the P1 motor controller 7, the PS motor controller 9, and the distribution box 10 through the high-speed CAN bus; sends control signals to the engine controller 3, the transmission system controller 5, the energy management unit 6, the P1 motor controller 7, the PS motor controller 9, and the distribution box 10 through the high-speed CAN bus; the overall machine controller 4 obtains information such as the hybrid tractor instrument and lighting through the low-speed CAN bus.
[0074] The energy management unit 6 controls the power battery pack 8, and the power battery pack 8 supplies power to the P1 motor 11, the PS motor 12, and the low-voltage battery through the distribution box 5.
[0075] The operating information of the hybrid tractor includes key signal, mode signal, position signal, torque signal, and speed signal.
[0076] Refer to Figure 9 : The series hybrid tractor has a total of 6 driving modes, namely pure electric drive, series drive, engine independent drive, parallel torque coupling drive, parallel speed coupling drive, and energy recovery.
[0077] After the hybrid tractor starts, the whole vehicle enters the self-check of the control system. After the self-check of the control system passes, the overall machine controller 4 obtains the key signal, mode signal, position signal, torque signal, and speed signal. The overall machine controller 4 determines the starting method of the drive system according to the obtained information, and at the same time sends control signals to the engine controller 3, the transmission system controller 5, the energy management unit 6, the P1 motor controller 7, the PS motor controller 9, and the distribution box 10, so that the hybrid tractor selects to operate in different drive modes:
[0078] 1) Pure electric drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor cannot enable the engine 1 to operate in the high-efficiency area, and the SOC of the power battery pack 8 satisfies SOC > SOC l , the tractor demand torque satisfies T req,cd ≤T e_l,cd , the demand speed satisfies n req,cd ≤n e_h,cd , it switches to the pure electric drive mode. At this time, the engine 1 can be controlled to be turned off, and the power battery pack 8 alone provides energy to the PS motor 12 to drive the walking system of the tractor to walk. This mode can utilize the advantages of the motor's low-speed high torque and pure electric drive being green and pollution-free. For example, working conditions such as the tractor starting without load, walking at low speed without load, and short-distance transfer.
[0079] 2) Series drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor cannot enable the engine 1 to operate in the high-efficiency area, and the state of charge SOC of the power battery pack 8 ≤ SOC l, the required torque of the tractor satisfies T req,cd ≤T e_l,cd , the required speed satisfies n req,cd ≤n e_h,cd , switch to the series drive mode. At this time, the P1 motor 11 drives the engine 1 to start, and then drives the P1 motor 11 to generate electricity. The power battery pack 8 and the P1 motor 11 simultaneously or the P1 motor 11 alone provide energy for the drive of the PS motor 12. When the SOC of the power battery pack 8 reaches SOC l , charging protection is performed. The engine 1 drives the P1 motor 11 to generate electricity, and the P1 motor 11 provides energy for the PS motor 12 and the power battery pack 8 simultaneously. When reaching SOC h , trickle charging protection is performed. In this mode, the engine 1 is decoupled from the tractor running system, allowing the engine 1 to operate under the best working conditions to drive the P1 motor 11 to generate electricity, providing energy for the PS motor 12 and the power battery pack 8, and providing power for the tractor running system in series. For example, working conditions such as the tractor starting without load, traveling at low speed without load, and transferring fields.
[0080] 3) Engine independent drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor reaches the best working condition range of the engine 1 and the traveling speed of the tractor and the external working environment change little, and the required torque of the tractor satisfies T e_l,cd <T req,cd ≤T e_h,cd , the required speed satisfies n e_l,cd <n req,cd ≤n e_h,cd , switch to the engine independent drive mode. At this time, both the P1 motor 11 and the PS motor 12 do not work, and the power of the engine 1 is all transmitted to the tractor running system by mechanical transmission. Since the power does not pass through the electric drive device, the energy loss caused by energy conversion can be avoided, and the system efficiency is the highest in this mode. For example, working conditions such as plowing, sowing, and harvesting.
[0081] 4) Parallel torque coupling drive mode: When the torque demand of the tractor changes greatly, and the SOC of the power battery pack 8 satisfies SOC > SOC l , the required torque of the tractor satisfies T req,cd >T e_h,cd , the required speed satisfies n e_l,cd <n req,cd ≤n e_h,cd , switch to the parallel torque coupling drive mode. The P1 motor 11 absorbs the excess power output by the engine 1 to convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power battery pack 8 or provide it to the PS motor 12. The engine 1 and the PS motor 12 provide power for the tractor running system through torque coupling. For example, working conditions such as getting out of trouble, plowing, harrowing, rotary tillage, and low-speed transportation with load.
[0082] 5) Parallel speed coupling drive mode: When the speed demand of the tractor changes greatly and the SOC of the power battery pack 8 satisfies SOC > SOC l , the required torque of the tractor satisfies T e_l,cd < T req,cd ≤ T e_h,cd , and the required speed satisfies n req,cd > n e_h,cd , switch to the parallel speed coupling drive mode. The P1 motor 11 absorbs the excess power output by the engine 1 to convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power battery pack 8 or supply it to the PS motor 12. The engine 1 and the PS motor 12 provide power for the tractor running system through the speed coupling method. For example, in working conditions such as intertillage, harvesting, light-load transportation, medium-load transportation, and long-distance transfer.
[0083] 6) Energy recovery mode: When the tractor brakes or decelerates, the required torque T of the tractor req,cd < 0, the mechanical energy of the running system reversely drives the PS motor 12 to generate electricity, realizing the recovery of braking / deceleration energy. At this time, the engine 1 stops or decouples from the tractor running system. For example, when the tractor is in working conditions such as transportation and transfer braking / deceleration.
[0084] The SOC h is the upper limit value of the high-efficiency area of the SOC of the power battery pack 8; SOC l is the lower limit value of the high-efficiency area of the SOC of the power battery pack 8; T req,cd is the required torque of the tractor equivalent to the central drive shaft 13; T e_l,cd is the lower limit of the high-efficiency working range torque of the engine 1 equivalent to the central drive shaft 13; T e_h,cd is the upper limit of the high-efficiency working range torque of the engine 1 equivalent to the central drive shaft 13; n e_l,cd is the lower limit of the high-efficiency working range speed of the engine 1 equivalent to the central drive shaft 13; n e_h,cd is the upper limit of the high-efficiency working range speed of the engine 1 equivalent to the central drive shaft 13.

Engine independent drive mode: When the power demand of the tractor reaches the optimal operating range of the engine (1), and the traveling speed of the tractor and the external working environment change little, and the required torque of the tractor satisfies T e_l,cd <T req,cd ≤T e_h,cd , the required speed satisfies n e_l,cd <n req,cd ≤n e_h,cd At this time, switch to the engine independent drive mode; at this time, both the P1 motor (11) and the PS motor (12) do not work, and the power of the engine (1) is all transmitted to the tractor traveling system by mechanical transmission. Since the power does not pass through the electric drive device, the energy loss caused by energy conversion can be avoided, and the system efficiency is the highest in this mode; D. Parallel torque coupling drive mode: When the torque demand of the tractor changes greatly and the SOC of the power battery pack (8) satisfies SOC > SOC l , the required torque of the tractor satisfies T req,cd > T e_h,cd , the required speed satisfies n e_l,cd < n req,cd ≤ n e_h,cd When this condition is met, switch to the parallel torque coupling drive mode. The P1 motor (11) absorbs the excess power output by the engine (1) to convert it into electrical energy and store it in the power battery pack (8) or supply it to the PS motor (12). The engine (1) and the PS motor (12) provide power to the tractor running system through torque coupling; E. Parallel speed coupling drive mode: When the speed demand of the tractor changes greatly and the SOC of the power battery pack (8) satisfies SOC > SOC l , the required torque of the tractor satisfies T e_l,cd < T req,cd ≤ T e_h,cd , the required speed satisfies n req,cd > n e_h,cd When, switch to the parallel speed coupling drive mode; The P1 motor (11) absorbs the excess power output by the engine (1) to convert it into electric energy and store it in the power battery pack (8) or supply it to the PS motor (12), and the engine (1) and the PS motor (12) provide power for the tractor running system through the speed coupling method; F. Energy recovery mode: When the tractor brakes or decelerates, the required torque T of the tractor req,cd <0, the mechanical energy of the tractor running system reversely drives the PS motor (12) to generate electricity, realizing the recovery of braking / deceleration energy. At this time, the engine (1) stops or is decoupled from the tractor running system.

1. First, the control system is based on the SOC of the power battery pack (8). If SOC > SOC l , go to step S1.2; otherwise, go to step S1.
3. Step S1.
2. If the required torque of the tractor satisfies T req,cd ≤T e_l,cd , the tractor starts purely electrically and directly proceeds to Step S1.4; otherwise, it proceeds to Step S1.3; Step S1.3: The tractor first starts the engine (1). If the required torque of the tractor satisfies T req,cd ≤T e_l,cd , the tractor performs a series start; otherwise, only the engine (1) is started; Step S1.4, the starting of the tractor drive system is completed.
