Detailed Implementation
[0039] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform for a hybrid transmission electronic control unit includes a host computer 1, a hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2, a first DC power supply 3, a transmission control unit 4, a shift actuator motor 5, a reduction and torque boosting mechanism 6, a gear rack transmission mechanism 7, a torque and speed sensor 8, a speed increase and torque decrease mechanism 9, a shift load motor 10, a load control unit 11, a second DC power supply 12, a clutch actuator motor 13, an actuator oil pump 14, a pressure sensor 15, a load oil pump 16, and a clutch load motor 17.
[0040] The host computer 1, transmission control unit 4, shift actuator motor 5, torque and speed sensor 8, load control unit 11, clutch actuator motor 13, and pressure sensor 15 are all electrically connected to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2. In this embodiment, the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 and the transmission control unit 4 transmit signals via a CAN bus. The transmission control unit 4 communicates with the engine electronic control unit (ECU), vehicle VCU, motor controller (MCU), battery management system (BMS), electronic stability program (ESP), and instrument cluster within the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 via the CAN-Bus, exchanging data such as engine speed, engine torque, clutch mode, target gear, intake valve position, brake pedal status, requested engine torque (including torque reduction and increase), requested motor torque, transmission input shaft speed, and vehicle speed information.
[0041] Each motor has its own built-in motor sensor, which can feed back the output shaft rotation position, speed and rotation direction of the shift actuator motor 5 and clutch actuator motor 13 to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 for the calculation of load motor load in the transmission simulation and load simulation model.
[0042] The hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 collects the speed and torque of the shift load motor 10 after deceleration and torque increase, while the pressure established by the clutch actuator motor 13 is fed back to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 for the calculation of the load motor load amount in the load simulation model.
[0043] The first DC power supply 3, the shift actuator motor 5, and the clutch actuator motor 13 are all electrically connected to the gearbox control unit 4;
[0044] The second DC power supply 12, the shift load motor 10, and the clutch load motor 17 are all electrically connected to the load control unit 11;
[0045] The first DC power supply 3 and the second DC power supply 12 are used to simulate the working power supply of the vehicle battery.
[0046] The output shaft of the shifting motor 5 is connected to the input shaft of the speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6. The output shaft of the speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6 is connected to the input shaft of the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7 by a coupling. The speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6 includes a large gear 18 and a small gear 19. The large gear 18 and the small gear 19 are circumferentially fixed on the same rotating shaft. The input shaft of the speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6 is a screw 20. One end of the screw 20 meshes with the large gear 18, and the other end is connected to the output shaft of the shifting motor 5. The output shaft of the speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6 is a first rack 21. One end of the first rack 21 meshes with the small gear 19.
[0047] The output shaft of the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7 is connected to the input shaft of the torque and speed sensor 8 by a coupling. The input shaft of the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7 is the second rack 22. A transmission gear 23 is circumferentially fixed at one end of the output shaft of the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7. The transmission gear 23 meshes with one end of the second rack 22. The other end of the second rack 22 is connected to the other end of the first rack 21, which converts the linear motion of the first rack 21 of the speed reduction and torque amplification mechanism 6 into the rotational motion of the gear shaft.
[0048] The torque and speed sensor 8 transmits the forward and reverse torque and speed of the output shaft of the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7 to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 for calculating the load amount of the shifting load motor in the load simulation model.
[0049] The output shaft of the torque and speed sensor 8 is connected to the input shaft of the speed-increasing and torque-reducing mechanism 9 by a coupling, and the output shaft of the speed-increasing and torque-reducing mechanism 9 is connected to the input shaft of the shift load motor 10 by a coupling. The speed-increasing and torque-reducing mechanism 9 is a two-stage gear transmission mechanism with a transmission ratio of less than 1. It speeds up and reduces the torque of the rotational power transmitted by the torque and speed sensor 8 to match the motor loading capacity of the shift load motor 10.
[0050] The output shaft of the clutch actuator motor 13 is connected to the actuator oil pump 14 by a spline. The actuator oil pump 14 is connected to the load oil pump 15 by an oil pipe. A pressure sensor 15 is provided between the actuator oil pump 14 and the load oil pump 15. The load oil pump 16 is connected to the output shaft 17 of the clutch load motor by a spline.
[0051] The actuator oil pump 14, pressure sensor 15, and load oil pump 16 are arranged in a closed oil space to form a closed-loop oil control system for testing wet clutch systems. The pressure sensor 15 measures the output pressure of the actuator oil pump 14 and feeds it back to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 for calculating the clutch load motor load in the load simulation model.
[0052] In this embodiment, the host computer 1 downloads the HIL hardware-in-the-loop simulation model to the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 for execution. The HIL hardware-in-the-loop simulation model includes an interface model, an engine and engine electronic control unit (ECU) model, a clutch model, a motor and battery model, a vehicle VCU control model, a gearbox model, a vehicle dynamics model, a driver and road model, a load calculation simulation model, etc.
[0053] The host computer 1 monitors and manages the operation of the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation model within the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform 2. Under the influence of signals from the HIL simulation platform 2, such as simulated key switch, handle signal, brake signal, transmission oil temperature signal, input shaft speed signal, oil pressure signal, throttle signal, engine speed signal, engine torque signal transmitted by the engine control unit (ECU) via CAN bus communication, vehicle speed signal transmitted by the electronic stability program (ESP) via CAN bus communication, clutch mode signal, target gear signal, and wheel speed transmitted by the vehicle control unit (VCU) via CAN bus communication, the transmission control unit 4 controls the shift execution motor 5 and clutch execution motor 13 to start according to the shifting intention of the VCU. This employs the hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation method for shifting and clutch control of the hybrid power transmission ECU described in this invention.
[0054] This embodiment uses the following method to simulate a two-speed dual-motor hybrid transmission:
[0055] ① Self-learning simulation of the physical points of the gearbox after product launch;
[0056] ② Self-learning simulation of clutch half-engagement point;
[0057] ③ Simulation of gear shifting and clutch operation;
[0058] ④ Adaptive simulation of the transmission.
[0059] In this embodiment, the physical point self-learning simulation of the gearbox for product off-line production is performed according to the following steps:
[0060] 1) Adjust the installation distance between the speed reduction and torque increase mechanism 6 and the gear and rack transmission mechanism 7 so that the linear motion range of the rack of the speed reduction and torque increase mechanism 6 is consistent with the range of the mechanical limit points at both ends of the hub profile of the shift hub.
[0061] The two-speed dual-motor hybrid transmission adopts a hub-type shifting mechanism, in which the shift hub controls the 1st, 2nd, and P gear shift forks; due to the structural limitations of the hub-type shifting mechanism, the shift hub only has mechanical limits on both sides, namely P gear and 2nd gear;
[0062] The simple reduction and torque amplification mechanism replaces the real and complex hub shifting actuator, and the linear motion of the rack replaces the complex hub profile motion of the shifting hub.
[0063] 2) The gearbox control unit 4 controls the output shaft of the shift execution motor 5 to rotate, so that the rack linear motion stroke of the reduction torque increase mechanism 6 moves to the minimum limit position, and records the corresponding motor running position as the physical position point corresponding to P gear;
[0064] The motor sensor inside the shift execution motor 5 will feed back the corresponding motor operating position to the gearbox control unit 4 and the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2.
[0065] 3) The gearbox control unit 4 controls the output shaft of the shift execution motor 5 to rotate, so that the rack of the reduction and torque increase mechanism 6 moves to the maximum limit position, and records the corresponding motor running position as the physical position point corresponding to the second gear;
[0066] 4) The transmission control unit 4 performs theoretical calculations on the physical position point of 1st gear based on the learned physical position points of P gear and 2nd gear.
[0067] In this embodiment, the clutch half-engagement point self-learning simulation is performed according to the following steps:
[0068] 1) Control the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 through the operation interface of PC host computer 1 to perform key switch power-on and start Sport mode simulation operation, and put the engine simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 into direct drive state.
[0069] The motor sensor inside the clutch actuator motor 13 will feed back the motor speed to the gearbox control unit 4 and the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2, while the pressure sensor 15 will feed back the pressure to the gearbox control unit 4 and the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2.
[0070] 2) The gearbox control unit 4 controls the output torque of the clutch actuator motor 13 to repeatedly simulate the clutch disengagement and engagement process, and calculates the position of the clutch half-engagement point based on the power parameters transmitted to the clutch actuator motor 13 from the engine simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2.
[0071] The simulated clutch engagement and disengagement process involves the transmission control unit 4 controlling the clutch actuator motor 13 to gradually transition from the clutch disengagement point to the clutch engagement point, and then rapidly return from the clutch engagement point to the clutch disengagement point. During the simulated clutch engagement and disengagement process, the engine power simulated in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 is gradually transmitted to the transmission input shaft through the clutch. The simulated engine torque and input shaft speed change with the clutch action.
[0072] In this embodiment, the gear shifting and clutch actions are simulated according to the following steps:
[0073] 1) The gearbox control unit 4 controls the clutch actuator motor 13 to disengage the clutch, while the VCU control unit model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 requests the engine simulation model to reduce the engine torque.
[0074] 2) The gearbox control unit 4 controls the shift actuator motor 5 to shift to neutral;
[0075] 3) Control the shift execution motor 5 to move to the target gear and synchronize and lock it;
[0076] 4) The VCU control unit model sends the target gear to the transmission control unit 4, causing the clutch actuator motor 13 to engage the clutch;
[0077] 5) The VCU control unit model requests the engine control model to increase engine torque.
[0078] Throughout the simulation, the transmission control unit 4 needs to collect relevant data on the engine, wheels, etc. from the engine electronic control unit, VCU vehicle control unit, or vehicle electronic stability system to participate in the shift clutch control. In order to reduce shift shock, the VCU electronic control unit needs to respond to the engine torque control request of the transmission control unit 4 during the shift clutch process.
[0079] During the process of disengaging and engaging the clutch actuator motor 13, the load simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 calculates the load that the load motor needs to load by using the current motor speed fed back by the motor sensor inside the actuator motor and the current pressure fed back by the pressure sensor 15, and controls the clutch load motor 17 to load by using the load control unit 11.
[0080] During the shifting execution motor 5's operation, the load simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 calculates the load amount that the load motor needs to load by using the current motor movement position fed back by the motor sensor inside the execution motor, and controls the operation of the shifting load motor 10 to load it through the load control unit 11; the load simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 corrects the load amount of the load motor according to the loading torque and speed fed back by the torque and speed sensor 8.
[0081] In this embodiment, the adaptive simulation of the transmission is performed according to the following steps:
[0082] 1) Hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 simulates normal car driving;
[0083] 2) During the gear shifting process of the simulated car, the gear shifting execution motor 5 moves to the target gear and is synchronized and locked;
[0084] 3) The hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 determines the gear position and calculates the load amount that the shift load motor 10 needs to load during the synchronization and locking phase based on the current movement position of the shift execution motor 5, and outputs it to the shift load motor 10 through the load control unit 11.
[0085] 4) The load simulation model in the hardware-in-the-loop simulation platform 2 corrects the load amount that the shift load motor 10 needs to be loaded based on the loading torque and speed feedback from the torque and speed sensor 8.
[0086] 5) Based on the speed ratio of each gear, the gearbox control unit 4 calculates the synchronization position point of the corresponding gear according to the input shaft speed change rate and the current value of the shift execution motor 5 collected during the shift process;
[0087] 6) Determine the rationality of the synchronization position point of each gear, and update the qualified gear synchronization position point to the transmission control unit 4.
[0088] Because the two-speed dual-motor hybrid transmission uses a hub-and-spoke shift mechanism, manufacturing errors during production and wear after a certain mileage will cause changes in the gear positions. The theoretically calculated gear positions alone cannot guarantee accuracy. To ensure smoothness and comfort during normal driving, the gear positions must be as accurate as possible. Therefore, adaptive control of the gear positions is necessary to guarantee their accuracy.
[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications made to the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
