Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a front-wheel drive vehicle torque control method, device and vehicle. Background Art

[0002] When a front-wheel drive vehicle is driving, for example, when the vehicle is accelerating or braking to slow down and passes through a speed bump, the front wheel will slip briefly. Since the friction coefficient of the speed bump is smaller than that of the road surface, the adhesion of the front wheel will decrease when the front wheel of the vehicle passes over the speed bump. Moreover, when the vehicle is accelerating or braking to slow down, for example, the accelerator pedal is kept at a certain degree of opening, the front axle speed will increase rapidly due to the reduction in adhesion, resulting in the front wheel slipping. When the front wheel slips, the vehicle body will slide to a certain extent, resulting in instability of the vehicle body.

[0003] Although the vehicle is equipped with an ESP system (Electronic Stability Program), which can intervene to keep the vehicle body stable when the wheels slip, the ESP system will not intervene to keep the vehicle body stable during this time because the vehicle usually spends a short time on speed bumps. Summary of the invention

[0024] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, specific embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 The application scenario of the front-wheel drive vehicle torque control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 In this application scenario, when a front-wheel drive vehicle is driving on the road, for example, when the front-wheel drive vehicle accelerates or brakes to decelerate through a speed bump, the reduced adhesion of the front wheels will cause the speed of the power mechanism (such as a motor or engine) to increase significantly, and the front wheels will slip.

[0027] The following is an example of a vehicle accelerating over a speed bump. When the vehicle accelerates (for example, the accelerator pedal is opened at 30%) and passes over a speed bump, the friction coefficient of the road surface is large, the vehicle's grip on the road surface is strong, and the front wheels of the vehicle usually do not slip. When the front wheels of the vehicle drive over the speed bump, because the friction coefficient of the speed bump is smaller than the friction coefficient of the road surface, the adhesion is reduced. If the motor output torque remains unchanged, the front wheel speed will soar rapidly, causing the front wheel to slip. In addition, when the front wheel speed increases rapidly, it may also cause abnormal noise from the front suspension of the vehicle.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, considering that the rear wheels of the front-wheel drive vehicle will not experience the above-mentioned slip phenomenon, the reference speed of the power mechanism at this time is determined by the rear wheel speed and the reference driving speed, thereby reflecting the normal speed of the power mechanism. Afterwards, the ratio of the reference speed to the actual speed of the power mechanism is calculated. When the ratio is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the actual speed of the power mechanism may be greatly increased due to the above-mentioned slip phenomenon. At this time, the output torque of the power mechanism can be reduced to prevent the actual speed of the power mechanism from increasing rapidly, thereby alleviating the degree of slippage of the front wheels.

[0029] The following combination Figure 1 Taking the front wheel slipping when the vehicle's front wheels accelerate or brake to decelerate through a speed bump as an example, the front-wheel torque control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0030] See also Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of the implementation of the front-wheel drive vehicle torque control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and is described in detail as follows:

[0031] Step 201 , in response to a torque adjustment request, determining a reference speed of a power mechanism based on a rear wheel speed and a reference driving speed.

[0032] In this step, the reference speed can be the speed of the power mechanism calculated by the vehicle controller, which is different from the actual speed of the power mechanism. The actual speed at this time will increase rapidly, while the reference speed can reflect the normal speed of the power mechanism when the front wheels are not slipping. The vehicle controller can be an HCU (Hybrid Control Unit) or other controllers, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] The rear wheel speed can be obtained by a wheel speed sensor disposed on the rear wheel. Since the rear wheels include a left rear wheel and a right rear wheel, the rotation speed of the left rear wheel and the rotation speed of the right rear wheel can be averaged to balance the difference in wheel speeds of the two rear wheels to more accurately determine the rear wheel speed. The rear wheel radius is a preset value and will not be described in detail.

[0034] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the reference speed of the power mechanism based on the rear wheel speed and the reference driving speed may include: determining the vehicle speed offset corresponding to the reference driving speed and the vehicle operating condition through a preset data table; wherein the preset data table contains the correspondence between the reference driving speed, the vehicle operating condition and the vehicle speed offset; correcting the reference driving speed according to the vehicle speed offset; and determining the reference speed of the power mechanism according to the rear wheel speed and the corrected reference driving speed.

[0035] Exemplarily, the reference driving speed may be determined by the ESP system and sent to the vehicle controller. For example, the ESP system may determine the reference driving speed of the vehicle by multiplying the rear wheel speed and the rear wheel radius. Specifically, the reference driving speed may be determined by v=nπr, where v is the reference driving speed, n is the rear wheel speed, and r is the rear wheel radius.

[0036] In addition, the reference driving speed may also be determined by the vehicle controller through the product of the rear wheel speed and the rear wheel radius.

[0037] Exemplarily, the vehicle operating condition may include an accelerator pedal opening, a steering wheel angle, a road slope, and a wheel speed difference, where the wheel speed difference is the difference between the rotation speed of the left front wheel and the rotation speed of the right front wheel. Correspondingly, the above-mentioned determination of the vehicle speed offset corresponding to the reference driving speed and the vehicle operating condition through a preset data table may include: determining a first vehicle speed offset component corresponding to the accelerator pedal opening, a second vehicle speed offset component corresponding to the steering wheel angle, a third vehicle speed offset component corresponding to the road slope, and a fourth vehicle speed offset component corresponding to the wheel speed difference through a preset data table; and determining the vehicle speed offset based on the first vehicle speed offset component to the fourth vehicle speed offset component.

[0038] For example, the first vehicle speed offset component, the second vehicle speed offset component, the third vehicle speed offset component and the fourth vehicle speed offset component may be added to obtain the vehicle speed offset, wherein the first vehicle speed offset component, the second vehicle speed offset component, the third vehicle speed offset component and the fourth vehicle speed offset component are all positive numbers less than 1, and the calculated vehicle speed offset is within the range of (0,1).

[0039] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned correction of the reference driving speed according to the vehicle speed offset may include: correcting the reference driving speed based on v′=(1+a)·v, where a is the vehicle speed offset, v is the reference driving speed, and v′ is the corrected reference driving speed.

[0040] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned determination of the reference speed of the power mechanism based on the rear wheel speed and the corrected reference driving speed includes: determining the corrected rear wheel speed based on the corrected reference driving speed and the rear wheel radius; determining the reference speed of the power mechanism based on the corrected rear wheel speed and a preset speed ratio; wherein the preset speed ratio characterizes the relationship between the rear wheel speed and the speed of the power mechanism.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, under normal working conditions, the actual motor speed is less than the upper limit of the motor reference speed and greater than the lower limit of the motor reference speed. Under speed bump conditions, the actual motor speed increases rapidly and exceeds the upper limit of the motor reference speed, causing the front wheel to slip.

[0042] Specifically, the product of the corrected reference driving speed and the rear wheel radius can be calculated to determine the corrected rear wheel speed n′=v′ / πr. Afterwards, the reference speed of the power mechanism can be determined based on the corrected rear wheel speed n′ and the preset speed ratio. The preset speed ratio can be specifically the ratio between the rear wheel speed and the speed of the power mechanism. For example, if the preset speed ratio is b, the reference speed of the power mechanism can be n′ / b.

[0043] In some embodiments, before step 201, the method may further include: generating a torque adjustment request when the vehicle operating condition meets a preset condition. The vehicle operating condition may include one or more of the following: gear position, reference driving speed, accelerator pedal opening, steering wheel angle, road slope, and wheel speed difference between the rotation speed of the left front wheel and the rotation speed of the right front wheel. The vehicle operating condition meeting the preset condition may include one or more of the following: the gear position is a forward gear position, the reference driving speed is within a preset vehicle speed range, the accelerator pedal opening is within a preset opening range, the steering wheel angle is less than a preset angle threshold, the road slope is less than a preset slope threshold, and the wheel speed difference between the rotation speed of the left front wheel and the rotation speed of the right front wheel is less than a speed threshold.

[0044] Exemplarily, when the vehicle operating condition meets the above preset conditions, a torque adjustment request is generated, the torque adjustment flag is activated, and then steps 201 to 203 are executed, and the output torque is adjusted when it is determined that the front wheels of the vehicle are slipping. If the vehicle operating condition does not meet the above preset conditions, no torque adjustment request is generated, the torque adjustment flag is not activated, and steps 201 to 203 are not executed accordingly.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not specifically limit the above-mentioned preset vehicle speed range, preset opening range, preset turning angle threshold, preset slope threshold and speed threshold. Those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs, which are all within the protection scope of the present application.

[0046] Step 202, calculating the ratio of the actual speed of the power mechanism to the reference speed.

[0047] The above ratio is used to characterize the relationship between the actual speed of the power mechanism and the reference speed. The larger the above ratio is, the more the actual speed of the power mechanism deviates from the normal speed when the front wheel is not slipping. The closer the above ratio is to 1, the closer the actual speed of the power mechanism is to the normal speed when the front wheel is not slipping. Therefore, by calculating the above ratio, it is possible to determine whether the actual speed of the power mechanism deviates from the normal speed and the degree of deviation from the normal speed, thereby determining whether the output torque of the power mechanism needs to be controlled to alleviate the degree of front wheel slippage.

[0048] Step 203: When the above ratio is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, the output torque of the power mechanism is reduced.

[0049] The above-mentioned preset threshold value can be calibrated based on experimental data. If the above-mentioned ratio is greater than or equal to the above-mentioned preset threshold value, it means that the output torque of the power mechanism is too large at this time, and the output torque of the power mechanism needs to be reduced to suppress the rapid increase of the front wheel speed and alleviate the degree of front wheel slip. If the above-mentioned ratio is less than the above-mentioned preset threshold value, it means that the output torque of the power mechanism is large at this time, but it has little effect on the driving of the vehicle, and the output torque of the power mechanism may not be adjusted.

[0050] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned reduction of the output torque of the power mechanism may specifically include: determining a torque weight coefficient based on the above-mentioned ratio; wherein the ratio is inversely proportional to the torque weight coefficient, and the torque weight coefficient is used to characterize the degree of adjustment of the output torque of the power mechanism; based on the torque weight coefficient, adjusting the output torque of the power mechanism.

[0051] As an example, the torque weight coefficient can be a value in the range of (0,1). The torque weight coefficient is multiplied by the output torque of the power mechanism to calculate the adjusted output torque, and then the output torque of the power mechanism is adjusted according to the calculated output torque, thereby reducing the output torque of the power mechanism to prevent the actual speed of the power mechanism from increasing rapidly and to alleviate the degree of front wheel slip.

[0052] In some embodiments, the torque weight coefficient corresponding to the above ratio can be determined based on a preset data table, in which the corresponding relationship between the ratio and the torque weight coefficient is stored. The larger the ratio, the smaller the corresponding torque weight coefficient.

[0053] For example, the ratio and the torque weight coefficient may be reciprocals of each other, and the torque weight coefficient may be used to adjust the output torque of the power mechanism to the output torque of the power mechanism when the front wheels of the vehicle do not slip.

[0054] For another example, the inverse of the ratio may be smaller than the torque weight coefficient, through which the output torque of the power mechanism can be brought closer to the output torque of the power mechanism when the front wheels of the vehicle do not slip.

[0055] The above preset ratio can be determined based on experiments and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The above-mentioned front-wheel drive vehicle torque control method takes into account that the rear wheels of the front-wheel drive vehicle will not experience the above-mentioned slip phenomenon. Therefore, the reference speed of the power mechanism at this time is determined by the rear wheel speed and the reference driving speed, thereby reflecting the normal speed of the power mechanism. Afterwards, the ratio of the reference speed to the actual speed of the power mechanism is calculated. When the ratio is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it indicates that the actual speed of the power mechanism may be greatly increased due to the above-mentioned slip phenomenon. At this time, the output torque of the power mechanism can be reduced to prevent the actual speed of the power mechanism from increasing rapidly, thereby alleviating the degree of slippage of the front wheels.

[0057] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
