[0002] In hybrid vehicle control, in addition to normal driving control, when functions related to ESP (such as TCS / MSR) intervene, due to the large number of hybrid vehicle modes and control components, poor torque coordination and control are likely to cause phenomena such as overcharging and over-discharging of the battery, unexpected vehicle acceleration and deceleration, and poor engine operating conditions, affecting the reliability of vehicle components, vehicle drivability, and economy.

Accordingly, the above description should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.

[0030] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the general description of the disclosure given above and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.

[0031] These and other features of the disclosure will become apparent from the following description of the preferred forms of the embodiments, given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] It should also be understood that, although the disclosure has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art can surely implement many other equivalent forms of the disclosure, which have the features as claimed and thus are all within the protection scope defined thereby.

[0033] When taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the above and other aspects, features, and advantages of the disclosure will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description.

[0034] Specific embodiments of the disclosure will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the claimed embodiments are merely examples of the disclosure, which can be implemented in various ways. Well-known and / or repetitive functions and structures are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the disclosure with unnecessary or redundant details. Accordingly, the specific structural and functional details claimed herein are not intended to be limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and a representative basis for teaching those skilled in the art to use the disclosure in substantially any suitable detailed structure in a variety of ways.

[0035] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment", "in another embodiment", "in yet another embodiment", or "in other embodiments", each of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present disclosure.

[0036] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a vehicle control method based on external intervention torque, and the vehicle control method is applicable to a hybrid vehicle, and the external intervention torque herein generally refers to the torque requested when functions related to ESP (or functions such as TCS / MSR, etc.) intervene.

[0037] Figure 1A hybrid vehicle 100 is shown. The hybrid vehicle 100 here includes an engine 10, a drive motor 20, and a power battery 50. The engine 10 is connected to a wheel 40 at the wheel end of the hybrid vehicle 100 through a clutch 30 to provide power. The drive motor 20 is connected to the power battery 50, and the output end of the drive motor 20 is connected to the wheel 40. The structure of the hybrid vehicle 100 here is not limited to this.

[0038] Based on the structure of the hybrid vehicle 100 described above, the hybrid vehicle 100 can be in different working modes. The working modes here at least include any one of a series mode, a parallel mode, and a pure electric mode. Among them, in the series mode, the clutch 30 is disengaged, and the engine 10 does not transmit torque to the wheel end, but drives the drive motor 20 to directly drive the wheel 40. In the parallel mode, the clutch 30 is engaged, and the engine 10 drives the drive motor 20 and jointly drives the wheel 40 with the drive motor 20. In the pure electric mode, the clutch 30 is disengaged, the engine 10 stops, and the drive motor 20 directly drives the wheel 40.

[0039] By adopting the structure of the hybrid vehicle 100 described above, the vehicle control method involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figure 2 shown, includes the following steps:

[0040] S1, Obtain the working mode and working parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state.

[0041] The hybrid vehicle here is in any one of the series mode, the parallel mode, or the pure electric mode.

[0042] S2, In response to a request for external intervention torque, allocate the required power and / or required torque based on the working parameters, the working mode, and the current SOC of the power battery.

[0043] The following will separately introduce the hybrid vehicle 100 when it is in the series mode, the parallel mode, and the pure electric mode respectively:

[0044] For the hybrid vehicle 100 in the series mode, as Figure 3 shown, the vehicle control method includes:

[0045] S101, Obtain the working parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state.

[0046] In this step, the operating parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state are obtained. When the hybrid vehicle 100 is based on the series mode and in normal driving, the operating parameters of the hybrid vehicle 100 in the current state are monitored and obtained through devices such as sensors on the hybrid vehicle 100.

[0047] The operating parameters here include, for example, the engine demand power P_engine_request, the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, the actual engine torque T_engine_act, the actual engine speed N_engine_act, the actual drive motor torque T_TM_act, the actual drive motor speed N_TM_act, the current SOC of the power battery C_SOC_act, the vehicle accessory power P_compt, and other parameter signals.

[0048] In addition, the engine demand speed N_engine_request and the engine demand torque can also be obtained. Among them, the engine demand speed N_engine_request here can be obtained by looking up a table according to the economic table of the engine 10 based on the engine demand power P_engine_request.

[0049] After obtaining the engine demand speed N_engine_request, the engine demand torque T_engine_request is obtained by the following formula, that is

[0050] T_engine_request = P_engine_request * 9550 / N_engine_request.

[0051] Among them, the economic table of the above-mentioned engine 10 can be obtained in the following way: (1) As Figure 4 shown, obtain the universal characteristic curve and specific fuel consumption distribution of the engine 10; (2) Draw an isopower curve on the universal characteristic curve; (3) Take the point with the lowest specific fuel consumption on the isopower curve and obtain its engine speed; (4) Finally, obtain the economic table of the engine 10 based on the relationship between power and speed.

[0052] For example, in a specific embodiment, the economic table obtained based on the engine demand power is shown as follows:

[0053] Engine required power 10 20 30 …… Engine required speed 1200 1500 2000

[0054] S102, in response to a request for external intervention torque, allocate the demand power based on the operating parameters, the operating mode, and the current SOC of the power battery.

[0055] In this step, in response to a request for external intervention torque, the demand power is allocated based on the working parameters, the working mode, and the current SOC of the power battery. The external intervention torque here needs to be converted to the drive motor end and is represented by T_external.

[0056] In this step, first, it is necessary to determine whether a request for external intervention torque is received. When the request for external intervention torque is received and responded to, the magnitude of the external intervention torque T_external and the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request is compared to identify torque reduction and torque increase requests, and the demand power is reallocated based on the comparison result. Specifically:

[0057] When the external intervention torque T_external is less than or equal to the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, that is, a torque reduction request, the demand power is reallocated.

[0058] Furthermore, before reallocating the demand power, it is also necessary to judge the current SOC of the power battery. Specifically: compare the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act, with the minimum value of C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_uplim. Among them, C_SOC_1 is the first threshold of SOC. Due to the SOC median control logic of the hybrid vehicle 100 and the user big data analysis results, the SOC of the power battery is normally distributed. For example, the SOC at μ + 3σ of the user big data normal distribution can be set as C_SOC_1, and the SOC at μ - 3σ can be set as C_SOC_2. Here, C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_2 are fed back to the vehicle controller in real time through the cloud platform; C_SOC_uplim is the upper limit of the available SOC determined by the battery hardware and protection strategy.

[0059] (1) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act >= min(C_SOC_1, C_SOC_uplim), then perform the first allocation of the demand power. In the first allocation:

[0060] First, reallocate the engine demand power, that is

[0061] P_engine_request1 = T_external * N_TM_act / 9550 + P_compt, where P_engine_request1 is the engine demand power after the demand power is reallocated;

[0062] Secondly, obtain the engine required torque based on the allocated engine required power, that is, T_engine_request1 = P_engine_request1 * 9550 / N_engine_request1. The reallocated engine required speed N_engine_request1 here can be obtained by looking up the table in the economy table obtained in step S101; after obtaining the engine required torque, an engine quick torque request is also sent. In this way, when the engine 10 is outside the SOC threshold, sending a quick torque request can avoid overcharging and over-discharging of the power battery 50.

[0063] Finally, reset the allocated drive motor required torque, that is

[0064] T_TM_request1 = T_external.

[0065] (2) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act < min(C_SOC_1, C_SOC_uplim), then perform the second demand power allocation. In the second allocation:

[0066] First, reset the engine required power, that is

[0067] P_engine_request1 = P_engine_request, where P_engine_request1 is the engine required power after the demand power is reallocated;

[0068] Secondly, reset the engine required speed, that is

[0069] N_engine_request1 = N_engine_request, where N_engine_request1 is the engine required speed after the demand power is reallocated;

[0070] Finally, reset the allocated drive motor required torque, that is

[0071] T_TM_request1 = T_external, where T_TM_request1 is the reallocated drive motor required torque.

[0072] For the torque reduction request, when it is higher than a certain SOC threshold, reduce the engine required power to meet the vehicle torque reduction demand and effectively protect the battery to prevent overcharging of the battery; when it is lower than the SOC threshold, maintain the engine required power, that is, the stability of the engine operating point, to meet the vehicle economy.

[0073] It should be noted that the SOC control threshold of the power battery 50 adopted in the reallocation of the required power can be determined according to the user big data analysis technology, and the operating points of the engine 10 and the drive motor 20 can be controlled according to the different current SOCs of the power battery, so as to realize the maximum possible improvement of economy in the controllable range of the power battery 50 by using the real-time feedback of the user big data analysis results.

[0074] When the external intervention torque T_external is greater than the drive motor required torque T_TM_request, that is, a torque increase request, the reallocation of the required power is performed.

[0075] Furthermore, before the reallocation of the required power, it is also necessary to judge the current SOC of the power battery. Specifically, judge whether the current SOC of the power battery, namely C_SOC_act, is compared with the maximum value of C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_lowlim. Among them, C_SOC_lowlim is the lower limit of the SOC that can be used determined by the battery hardware and the protection strategy.

[0076] (1) If the current SOC of the power battery, namely C_SOC_act <= max(C_SOC_2, C_SOC_lowlim), then the third allocation of the required power is executed. In the third allocation:

[0077] First, reallocate the engine required power, that is

[0078] P_engine_request1 = T_external * N_TM_act / 9550 + P_compt, where P_engine_request1 is the reallocated engine required power;

[0079] Secondly, obtain the engine required torque based on the reallocated engine required power, that is, T_engine_request1 = P_engine_request1 * 9550 / N_engine_request1. The reallocated engine required speed N_engine_request1 here can be obtained by looking up the table in the economy table obtained in step S101; after obtaining the engine required torque, a fast torque request for the engine is also issued at the same time. In this way, when the engine 10 issues a fast torque request outside the SOC threshold, overcharging and over-discharging of the power battery 50 can be avoided.

[0080] Finally, reset the required torque of the drive motor after allocation, that is

[0081] T_TM_request1 = T_external, where T_TM_request1 is the required torque of the drive motor after redistribution.

[0082] (2) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act > max(C_SOC_2, C_SOC_lowlim), then perform the fourth allocation of the required power. In the fourth allocation:

[0083] First, redistribute the required power of the engine, i.e.,

[0084] P_engine_request1 = P_engine_request, where P_engine_request1 is the required power of the engine after redistribution;

[0085] Second, reset the required speed of the engine, i.e.,

[0086] N_engine_request1 = N_engine_request, where N_engine_request1 is the required speed of the engine after redistribution;

[0087] Finally, reset the required torque of the engine and the required torque of the drive motor after allocation, i.e.,

[0088] T_engine_request1 = T_engine_request, where T_engine_request1 is the required torque of the engine after redistribution;

[0089] T_TM_request1 = T_external, where T_TM_request1 is the required torque of the drive motor after redistribution.

[0090] For the torque increase request, when it is below a certain SOC threshold, increase the required power of the engine to meet the vehicle's torque increase requirement and effectively protect the power battery to prevent over-discharge of the battery; when it is above the SOC threshold, maintain the required power of the engine, i.e., the stability of the engine operating point, to meet the vehicle's economy.

[0091] In addition, if the request for the external intervention torque is not received, send the engine torque / speed request, the drive motor torque request, etc. to the relevant actuators.

[0092] For the hybrid vehicle 100 in the parallel mode, adopt a similar control method to ensure the smoothness of the engine operating point to the greatest extent while ensuring that the wheel-end torque meets the external intervention torque, as Figure 5 shown, the vehicle control method includes:

[0093] S201. Obtain the operating parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state.

[0094] In this step, obtain the operating parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state. When the hybrid vehicle 100 is based on the parallel mode and in normal driving, monitor and obtain the operating parameters of the hybrid vehicle 100 in the current state through devices such as sensors on the hybrid vehicle 100.

[0095] The operating parameters here include, for example, engine demand torque T_engine_request, drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, engine actual torque T_engine_act, drive motor actual torque T_TM_act, drive motor actual speed N_TM_act, current SOC of the power battery C_SOC_act, vehicle accessory power P_compt, and the transmission ratio Tans_eng2TM from the engine 10 to the drive motor 20, etc., as parameter signals.

[0096] S202. In response to a request for external intervention torque, allocate the demand torque based on the operating parameters, the operating mode, and the current SOC of the power battery.

[0097] In this step, in response to the external intervention torque, allocate the demand power and / or demand torque based on the operating parameters, the operating mode, and the current SOC of the power battery. The external intervention torque here needs to be converted to the drive motor end and is represented by T_external.

[0098] In this step, first, it is necessary to determine whether a request for external intervention torque is received. When the request for external intervention torque is received and responded to, compare the magnitude between the external intervention torque T_external and the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, so as to identify the torque reduction and torque increase requests, and re-allocate the demand torque based on the comparison result. Specifically:

[0099] When the external intervention torque T_external is less than or equal to the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, re-allocate the demand torque.

[0100] Further, before redistributing the required torque, it is necessary to determine the current SOC of the power battery. Specifically, compare the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act, with the minimum value of C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_uplim. Here, C_SOC_1 is the first threshold of SOC. Due to the SOC median control logic of the hybrid vehicle 100 and the user big data analysis results, the SOC of the power battery is normally distributed. For example, the SOC at μ + 3σ of the user big data normal distribution can be taken as C_SOC_1, and the SOC at μ - 3σ as C_SOC_2. Here, C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_2 are fed back to the controller in real time through the cloud platform; C_SOC_uplim is the upper limit of the available SOC determined by the battery hardware and protection strategy.

[0101] (1) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act >= min(C_SOC_1, C_SOC_uplim), then perform the first distribution of the required torque. In the first distribution, redistribute the required torque of the engine and the required torque of the drive motor. Specifically:

[0102] First, redistribute the required torque of the engine, i.e., T_engine_request1 = T_external / Tans_eng2TM + P_compt * 9550 / N_engine_act, where T_engine_request1 is the redistributed required torque of the engine; after obtaining the required torque of the engine, simultaneously send a fast torque request for the engine. In this way, when the engine 10 is outside the SOC threshold, sending a fast torque request can avoid overcharging and over-discharging of the power battery 50.

[0103] Then, redistribute the required torque of the drive motor, i.e., T_TM_request1 = T_external - T_engine_act * Tans_eng2TM - T_TM_request, where T_TM_request1 is the redistributed required torque of the engine.

[0104] (2) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act < min(C_SOC_1, C_SOC_uplim), then perform the second distribution of the required torque. In the second distribution, redistribute the required torque of the engine and the required torque of the drive motor. Specifically:

[0105] First, redistribute the required torque of the engine, i.e.,

[0106] T_engine_request1 = T_engine_request, where T_engine_request1 is the engine demand torque after redistribution;

[0107] Then, redistribute the drive motor demand torque, i.e., T_TM_request1 = T_external - T_engine_act * Tans_eng2TM - T_TM_request, where T_TM_request1 is the drive motor demand torque after redistribution.

[0108] It should be noted that the SOC control threshold of the power battery 50 used in the redistribution of the demand torque can be determined according to the user big data analysis technology, and the operating points of the engine 10 and the drive motor 20 can be controlled according to the different current SOCs of the power battery, so as to realize the maximum possible improvement of economy in real time by feeding back the user big data analysis results within the controllable range of the power battery 50.

[0109] When the external intervention torque T_external is greater than the drive motor demand torque T_TM_request, the demand torque is redistributed.

[0110] Furthermore, before redistributing the demand torque, it is also necessary to judge the current SOC of the power battery. Specifically, judge whether the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act, is compared with the maximum value of C_SOC_1 and C_SOC_lowlim, where C_SOC_lowlim is the lower limit of the SOC that can be used determined by the battery hardware and the protection strategy.

[0111] (1) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act <= max(C_SOC_2, C_SOC_lowlim), then perform the third power distribution. In the third distribution, redistribute the engine demand torque and the drive motor demand torque. Specifically:

[0112] First, redistribute the engine demand torque, i.e.,

[0113] T_engine_request1 = T_external / Tans_eng2TM + P_compt * 9550 / N_engine_act, where T_engine_request ared is the engine demand torque after redistribution; after obtaining the engine demand torque, an engine quick torque request is also sent at the same time. In this way, when the engine 10 is outside the SOC threshold, a quick torque request is sent, which can avoid overcharging and over-discharging of the power battery 50.

[0114] Then, reallocate the required torque of the drive motor, i.e.,

[0115] T_TM_request1 = T_external - T_engine_act * Tans_eng2TM - T_TM_request, where T_TM_request1 is the required torque of the drive motor after reallocation.

[0116] (2) If the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act > max(C_SOC_2, C_SOC_lowlim), then perform the fourth allocation of the required torque. In the fourth allocation, reallocate the required torque of the engine and the required torque of the drive motor. Specifically:

[0117] First, reallocate the required torque of the engine, i.e.,

[0118] T_engine_request1 = T_engine_request, where T_engine_request1 is the required torque of the engine after reallocation;

[0119] Then, reallocate the required torque of the drive motor, i.e.,

[0120] T_TM_request1 = T_external - T_engine_act * Tans_eng2TM - T_TM_request, where T_TM_request1 is the required torque of the drive motor after reallocation.

[0121] In addition, if no request for the external intervention torque is received, send the engine torque / speed request, the drive motor torque request, etc. to the relevant actuators.

[0122] For the hybrid vehicle 100 in the pure electric mode, since the pure electric mode is directly driven by the drive motor 20, directly change the drive torque request to the request for the external intervention torque, meeting the safety requirements. As Figure 6 shown, the vehicle control method includes:

[0123] S301, obtain the working parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state.

[0124] In this step, obtain the working parameters of the hybrid vehicle in the current state. When the hybrid vehicle 100 is based on the pure electric mode and in the normal driving process, monitor and obtain the working parameters of the hybrid vehicle 100 in the current state through devices such as sensors on the hybrid vehicle 100.

[0125] The working parameters herein include, for example, parameters signals such as the required torque of the drive motor, i.e., T_TM_request, the actual torque of the drive motor, i.e., T_TM_act, the actual rotational speed of the drive motor, i.e., N_TM_act, the current SOC of the power battery, i.e., C_SOC_act, and the power of vehicle accessories, i.e., P_compt.

[0126] S302. In response to a request for external intervention torque, allocate the required torque based on the working parameters, the working mode, and the current SOC of the power battery.

[0127] In this step, in response to a request for external intervention torque, allocate the required power and / or the required torque based on the working parameters, the working mode, and the current SOC of the power battery. The external intervention torque here needs to be converted to the drive motor side and is represented by T_external.

[0128] In this step, first, it is necessary to determine whether a request for external intervention torque is received. When the request for external intervention torque is received and a response is made, re-allocate the required torque, i.e.,

[0129] T_TM_request1 = T_external, where T_TM_request1 is the required torque of the drive motor after re-allocation.

[0130] In addition, if the request for external intervention torque is not received, send the engine torque / rotational speed request, the drive motor torque request, etc. to the relevant actuators.

[0131] The embodiments of the present disclosure classify the vehicle operation modes into series, parallel, and pure electric for separate control. Without increasing costs and without changing the hardware, different external torque intervention control methods can be executed according to different vehicle modes, and different control methods can be selected according to different up / down torque requests. In addition, while making full use of the maximum capacity of the power battery, reliability and safety are ensured, and the NVH and driving performance differences caused by changes in the engine operating point are minimized.

[0137] Further, when the externally intervened torque is greater than the required torque of the drive motor, perform the third distribution of the required power and issue an engine quick torque request when the current SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to the second threshold, and perform the fourth distribution of the required power when the current SOC of the power battery is greater than the second threshold.
