[0080] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0081] The traction control system (TCS) is mainly used to control the slippage of the driving wheels when the vehicle starts or accelerates on ice, snow, sand and other roads. TCS actively controls the vehicle's traction and rationally utilizes the adhesion between the wheels and the ground to provide the vehicle with dynamics and stability on low-adhesion roads.

[0082] For electric four-wheel drive dual-motor models, the front and rear axles are powered by separate motors respectively. The motor torque rises too quickly. When the brake TCS function is triggered, the hydraulic rising rate cannot follow quickly due to wheel slippage, resulting in the inability to fully utilize the ground adhesion coefficient, affecting the vehicle's acceleration ability and stability.

[0083] This embodiment provides a TCS control method for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle. The TCS control method for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle can be executed by a TCS control device for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle. The TCS control device for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle can be implemented by software and / or hardware and integrated in a vehicle.

[0084] The TCS control method for electric four-wheel drive vehicles is applicable to vehicles with dual drive systems, where the two drive systems are spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the drive system includes a drive shaft, a drive motor connected to the drive shaft, a first wheel and a second wheel arranged at both ends of the drive shaft, a first brake for providing braking force to the first wheel, and a second brake for providing braking force to the second wheel. The drive motor is used to provide traction to the drive shaft, and the brake is used to provide braking force to the corresponding wheel.

[0085] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the TCS control method of the electric four-wheel drive vehicle includes the following steps:

[0086] S1000: Obtaining vehicle operating parameters.

[0087] The operating parameters include a first rotation speed of each first wheel, a second rotation speed of each second wheel, an acceleration of the vehicle, a throttle opening of an accelerator, a pedal opening of a brake pedal, and a driving speed of the vehicle. The rotation speed of the first wheel can be detected by a first rotation speed sensor, the rotation speed of the second wheel can be detected by a second sensor, the acceleration of the vehicle can be detected by an acceleration sensor, the throttle opening can be detected by a throttle opening sensor, the position of the brake pedal can be detected by a position sensor installed on the brake pedal, and the driving speed of the vehicle can be detected by a speed sensor.

[0088] S2000: Determine a first actual slip ratio of the first wheel based on a driving speed of the vehicle and a first rotation speed of the first wheel.

[0089] S3000: Determine a second actual slip ratio of the second wheel based on the vehicle's driving speed and a second rotation speed of the second wheel.

[0090] The first actual slip ratio is calculated by the difference between the vehicle's running speed and the first rotational speed of the first wheel, and the second actual slip ratio is calculated by the difference between the vehicle's running speed and the second speed of the second wheel.

[0091] S4000: Confirm that TCS is turned on.

[0092] The method for determining whether TCS is turned on is a prior art. For example, when the control button of TCS is on and when the first actual slip ratio and the second actual slip ratio exceed a threshold value, the TCS function is turned on and intervenes to control each drive motor and each brake.

[0093] S5000: Perform TCS control on each drive system separately.

[0094] The TCS control method for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle provided in this embodiment can realize that TCS can control only one of the drive systems or both drive systems at the same time by controlling the two drive systems separately.

[0095] Among them, Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, TCS control includes the following steps:

[0096] S5001: Determine a first target slip ratio of the first wheel based on the driving speed of the vehicle and a first rotation speed of the first wheel.

[0097] S5002: Determine a second target slip ratio of the second wheel based on the vehicle's driving speed and a second rotation speed of the second wheel.

[0098] The controller pre-stores a first relationship chart of the driving speed, the rotation speed of the wheel and the target slip ratio. The corresponding first target slip ratio can be queried from the first relationship chart according to the driving speed and the first rotation speed. The corresponding second target slip ratio can be queried from the first relationship chart according to the driving speed and the second rotation speed. The first relationship chart of the driving speed, the rotation speed of the wheel and the target slip ratio can be obtained based on a large number of previous experiments.

[0099] S5003: Compare the first actual slip ratio and the first target slip ratio, and compare the second actual slip ratio and the second target slip ratio.

[0100] If the first actual slip ratio is greater than the first target slip ratio, and the second actual slip ratio is greater than the second target slip ratio, step S5004 is executed.

[0101] S5004: Determine a first traction force based on the first target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the first brake.

[0102] S5005: Determine a second traction force based on the second target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the second brake.

[0103] The controller pre-stores a second relationship chart of target slip ratio, braking force and traction force. According to the first target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the first brake, the corresponding first traction force can be queried from the second relationship chart. According to the second target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the second brake, the corresponding second traction force can be queried from the second relationship chart. Among them, the second relationship chart of target slip ratio, braking force and traction force can be obtained based on a large number of previous experiments.

[0104] S5006: The driving motor outputs a first target traction force, where the first target traction force is equal to a smaller value between the first traction force and the second traction force.

[0105] It can be understood that when the first actual slip ratio is greater than the first target slip ratio, it means that the slip ratio of the first wheel is too large, affecting the stability of the vehicle. Similarly, when the second actual slip ratio is greater than the second target slip ratio, it means that the slip ratio of the second wheel is too large, affecting the stability of the vehicle. When the first actual slip ratio is not greater than the first target slip ratio, it means that the slip ratio of the first wheel is within the permitted range and will not affect the stability of the vehicle. Similarly, when the second actual slip ratio is not greater than the second target slip ratio, it means that the slip ratio of the second wheel is within the permitted range and will not affect the stability of the vehicle.

[0106] When the first actual slip ratio of the first wheel is greater than the first target slip ratio, the actual slip ratio of the first wheel needs to be reduced to within the first target slip ratio through the control of TSC, and when the second actual slip ratio of the second wheel is greater than the second target slip ratio, the actual slip ratio of the second wheel needs to be reduced to within the second target slip ratio through the control of TSC to ensure the stability of the vehicle. Therefore, by determining the first traction force corresponding to the first target slip ratio through step S5004, determining the second traction force corresponding to the second target slip ratio through step S5005, and then selecting the smaller value of the first traction force and the second traction force as the first target traction force output by the driving motor through step S5006, it can ensure that the actual slip ratio of the first wheel and the actual slip ratio of the second wheel are adjusted to within the range of their respective target slip ratios, ensure the stability of the vehicle operation, and at the same time ensure that the vehicle can make the maximum use of the ground adhesion coefficient and ensure the dynamic performance of the vehicle operation.

[0107] S5007: Determine a first target braking force output by the first brake based on the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio.

[0108] S5008: Determine a second target braking force output by the second brake based on the first target traction force and the second target slip ratio.

[0109] The first target braking force corresponding to the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio can be queried from the second relationship chart. The second target braking force corresponding to the second target traction force and the second target slip ratio can be queried from the second relationship chart.

[0110] Through steps S5004 to S5008, the slip rates of the first wheel and the second wheel can be adjusted to their respective target slip rate ranges at the same time to ensure the stability of the vehicle, and can also ensure that the first wheel and the second wheel remain within the target slip rate range to ensure the power of the vehicle.

[0111] S5009: The first brake outputs a first target braking force.

[0112] S5010: The second brake outputs a second target braking force.

[0113] like Figure 3 As shown, in step S5003, if the first actual slip ratio is not greater than the first target slip ratio, and the second actual slip ratio is greater than the second target slip ratio, S5011 is executed.

[0114] S5011: Determine a second traction force based on a second target slip ratio and a maximum braking force of a second brake.

[0115] S5012: The driving motor outputs a first target traction force, and the first target traction force is equal to the second traction force.

[0116] When the first actual slip rate is not greater than the first target slip rate, and the second actual slip rate is greater than the second target slip rate, it means that only the stability of the second wheel is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the traction output by the drive motor through TCS to reduce the actual slip rate of the second wheel to within the second target slip rate to ensure the stability of the vehicle.

[0117] S5013: Determine a first target braking force output by the first brake based on the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio.

[0118] The corresponding first target braking force can be queried from the second relationship chart according to the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio.

[0119] S5014: the first brake outputs a first target braking force;

[0120] S5015: The second brake outputs a second target braking force.

[0121] The second target braking force output by the second brake is equal to the maximum braking force of the second brake.

[0122] Through steps S5011 to S5015, the slip rate of the second wheel can be adjusted to its target slip rate range at the same time to ensure the stability of the vehicle, and the first wheel and the second wheel can also be maintained within the target slip rate to ensure the dynamics of the vehicle and maximize the use of the ground adhesion coefficient.

[0123] like Figure 4 As shown, in step S5003, if the first actual slip ratio is greater than the first target slip ratio, and the second actual slip ratio is not greater than the second target slip ratio; then S5016 is executed.

[0124] S5016: Determine a first traction force based on the first target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the first brake.

[0125] S5017: The driving motor outputs a first target traction force, and the first target traction force is equal to the first traction force.

[0126] When the first actual slip rate is greater than the first target slip rate, and the second actual slip rate is not greater than the second target slip rate, it means that only the stability of the first wheel is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the traction output by the drive motor through TCS to reduce the actual slip rate of the first wheel to within the first target slip rate to ensure the stability of the vehicle.

[0127] S5018: Determine a second target braking force output by the second brake based on the first target traction force and the second target slip ratio.

[0128] The corresponding second target braking force can be queried from the second relationship chart according to the first target traction force and the second target slip ratio.

[0129] S5019: the first brake outputs a first target braking force, wherein the first target braking force output by the first brake is equal to a maximum braking force of the first brake;

[0130] S5020: The second brake outputs a second target braking force.

[0131] Through steps S5016 to S5020, the slip rate of the first wheel can be adjusted to its target slip rate range at the same time to ensure the stability of the vehicle, and the first wheel and the second wheel can also be maintained within the target slip rate to ensure the dynamics of the vehicle and maximize the use of the ground adhesion coefficient.

[0132] like Figure 5 As shown, in step S5003, if the first actual slip ratio is not greater than the first target slip ratio, and the second actual slip ratio is not greater than the second target slip ratio; then S5021 is executed.

[0133] S5021: Determine a first traction force based on a first target slip ratio and a maximum braking force of a first brake.

[0134] S5022: Determine a second traction force based on the second target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the second brake.

[0135] The corresponding first traction force can be queried from the second relationship chart according to the first target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the first brake. The corresponding second traction force can be queried from the second relationship chart according to the second target slip ratio and the maximum braking force of the second brake.

[0136] S5023: The driving motor outputs a first target traction force, where the first target traction force is equal to a smaller value between the first traction force and the second traction force.

[0137] When the first actual slip ratio is not greater than the first target slip ratio, and the second actual slip ratio is not greater than the second target slip ratio, it means that the two wheels will not affect the stability of the vehicle, and the ground adhesion coefficient is not used to the maximum extent. Therefore, the first actual slip ratio of the first wheel and the second actual slip ratio of the second wheel can be increased accordingly through TCS to ensure the dynamic performance of the vehicle.

[0138] S5024: Determine a first target braking force output by the first brake based on the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio.

[0139] S5025: Determine a second target braking force output by the second brake based on the first target traction force and the second target slip ratio.

[0140] The first target braking force corresponding to the first target traction force and the first target slip ratio can be queried from the second relationship chart. The second target braking force corresponding to the second target traction force and the second target slip ratio can be queried from the second relationship chart.

[0141] S5026: The first brake outputs a first target braking force.

[0142] S5027: The second brake outputs the second target braking force.

[0143] Through steps S5021 to S5027, the slip rates of the first wheel and the second wheel can be improved within the range of their respective target slip rates, and the ground adhesion coefficient can be utilized to the maximum extent while ensuring the stability of the vehicle.

[0144] Optionally, the TCS control method for an electric four-wheel drive vehicle further includes step S3001 between step S3000 and step S4000.

[0145] S3001: Determine whether there is a fault in TCS.

[0146] The controller can interact with the vehicle controller to determine whether the TCS is faulty. Common faults of TCS include line faults. When TCS is fault-free, S4000 is executed. If TCS is faulty, an alarm is issued.
