Detailed implementation manners

[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0061] It should be noted that for the torque output path of an electric vehicle, the VCU outputs a torque demand to the motor controller MCU according to control status information such as pedal and gear information, and then the MCU controls the motor to rotate based on the torque demand output by the VCU and performs torque feedback to the VCU.

[0062] Among them, the VCU first needs to obtain the pedal information and gear information of the vehicle, that is, the positions of the vehicle's acceleration pedal and brake pedal, and whether the gear is in D gear, R gear, or N gear, etc. Then, based on the pedal information and gear information, the overall vehicle operation mode is determined. Next, based on the pedal information, gear information, and overall vehicle operation mode, the required torque is parsed. After that, the required torque is output to the VCU after torque filtering and further transmitted to the MCU. It can be seen that the transmission path of the required torque is complex. If any abnormality occurs in the VCU torque output path or the MCU torque response module, it may lead to dangerous situations such as the vehicle's driving direction being incorrect or unexpected acceleration. Therefore, the VCU needs to monitor the torque demand, that is, to ensure that the complex torque output path does not generate abnormal torque demands.

[0063] However, the existing monitoring of torque demand mainly focuses on the monitoring of the parsed required torque and / or the torque output by the VCU, and does not consider whether there is an abnormality when the torque output by the VCU is executed. The monitoring is relatively one-sided and cannot achieve comprehensive monitoring of the VCU torque output path, that is, it cannot ensure comprehensive monitoring of the required torque, thus affecting the safety and comfort of vehicle driving.

[0064] Based on this, the present invention proposes a multi-level combined torque monitoring method for the entire process of torque parsing, torque output, and execution, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of torque monitoring and further improving the driving safety and comfort of users.

[0065] First, to facilitate the understanding of the electric vehicle torque monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present invention, the technical terms involved in the embodiments are first explained:

[0066] Overall vehicle operation mode: Generally divided into drive mode, brake mode, creep mode, and coasting mode; among them, for the vehicle's gear settings, the drive mode, brake mode, creep mode, and coasting mode all have specific directions;

[0067] Required torque: The torque obtained by the VCU based on the pedal information and gear information of the vehicle;

[0068] Intermediate torque: The torque formed by filtering the required torque obtained by the VCU, so that the motor gradually reaches the required torque for execution;

[0069] Feedback torque: The execution torque fed back to the VCU by the motor controller after executing the required torque;

[0070] Vehicle driving requirements: Requirements for vehicle speed, comfort, smoothness, etc. during vehicle driving, such as: keeping the vehicle driving at a set speed uniformly, making the vehicle speed change less than the preset change rate when accelerating or decelerating, etc.

[0071] The following combines Figures 1 to 9 to describe a method for monitoring the torque of an electric vehicle according to the present invention, which is executed by the software and / or hardware of the VCU, as Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0072] 101. Based on the control state information of the vehicle, determine the overall vehicle operation mode of the vehicle and the required torque of the vehicle; perform torque filtering based on the required torque to obtain the intermediate torque that needs to be experienced during the process of reaching the required torque; obtain the feedback torque, where the feedback torque is the execution result corresponding to the required torque;

[0073] It can be understood that the control state information of the vehicle includes multiple aspects. For example: when the gear information is in the R gear, the movement direction of the vehicle is the rear direction; the position information of the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal corresponds to the driving speed of the vehicle; the position of the headlight switch corresponds to the turning on or off of the headlights; the position information of the air-conditioning knob corresponds to the air-conditioning temperature, and so on.

[0074] Further, as described above, the overall vehicle operation mode of the vehicle includes a driving mode, a braking mode, a creeping mode, and a coasting mode. These four modes are all related to vehicle driving, and vehicle driving and braking are determined by the vehicle's gear and pedal position. Therefore, based on the pedal information and gear information in the control state information of the vehicle, the overall vehicle operation mode of the vehicle can be determined.

[0075] Specifically, based on the pedal information and gear information of the vehicle, the basis for determining the overall vehicle operation mode is:

[0076] Driving mode: The position of the accelerator pedal is greater than 0 and the position of the brake pedal is equal to 0;

[0077] Braking mode: The position of the brake pedal is greater than 0;

[0078] Creeping mode: vehicle speed is less than a preset value (such as 8 km / h, 9 km / h, etc.), accelerator pedal position is equal to 0, and brake pedal position is equal to 0;

[0079] Coasting mode: vehicle speed is greater than a preset value (such as 10 km / h, 11 km / h, etc.), accelerator pedal position is equal to 0, and brake pedal position is equal to 0.

[0080] More specifically, the required torque of the vehicle should match the pedal information, gear information of the vehicle, and the overall vehicle operation mode. For example, when the vehicle is in the braking mode and the gear is in D gear, the required torque should be less than 0. When the vehicle is in the creeping mode and the gear is in D gear, the required torque should be greater than 0, and the direction should match the forward direction of the vehicle, and so on.

[0081] 102. Generate a monitoring result based on the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the feedback torque. The monitoring result includes: whether the required torque and the intermediate torque respectively match the overall vehicle operation mode; whether the feedback torque matches the preset vehicle driving requirements.

[0082] It can be understood that based on the control state information of the vehicle, after the VCU determines the overall vehicle operation mode of the vehicle, based on the overall vehicle operation mode, it can calculate the required torque, that is, torque parsing. After obtaining the required torque, the required torque is then arbitrated, filtered, limited, etc., and output to the VCU, and executed by the motor controller MCU of the vehicle, so that the vehicle travels at a vehicle speed that meets the overall vehicle operation mode and vehicle driving requirements.

[0083] Specifically, when any process of the VCU's parsing, filtering, and execution of the required torque goes wrong, it will cause abnormal vehicle driving, which will in turn affect the safety and comfort of vehicle driving. Therefore, after determining the overall vehicle operation mode of the vehicle based on the control state information of the vehicle and parsing to obtain the required torque of the vehicle, further obtain the intermediate torque and the feedback torque that need to be experienced in the process of torque filtering based on the required torque to reach the required torque, that is, the execution result corresponding to the required torque. Then, by monitoring whether the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the feedback torque match the overall vehicle operation mode or the preset vehicle driving requirements, the comprehensiveness of torque monitoring can be ensured, thereby effectively improving the safety and comfort of driving.

[0084] As an embodiment of the present invention, the overall vehicle operation mode includes: the vehicle driving direction; the preset vehicle driving requirements include: torque change requirements, vehicle speed requirements, and feedback torque requirements;

[0085] The generating the monitoring result based on the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the feedback torque includes:

[0086] Generate the monitoring result based on the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the vehicle driving direction;

[0087] Generate the monitoring result based on the required torque and the torque change requirement;

[0088] Generate the monitoring result based on the required torque and the vehicle speed requirement;

[0089] Generate the monitoring result based on the required torque, the feedback torque, and the feedback torque requirement.

[0090] Specifically, the whole vehicle operation mode is obtained based on the gear information and pedal information of the vehicle, so it has the directionality of vehicle driving. It can be understood that when the vehicle is in the D gear, the whole vehicle driving direction can be defined as the forward direction. At this time, the required torque given by the VCU and the intermediate torque should match the whole vehicle operation mode. Therefore, based on the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the vehicle driving direction, the monitoring result can be generated.

[0091] More specifically, the MCU changes the vehicle speed based on the execution of the required torque, that is, the required torque determines the vehicle speed change. Therefore, based on the required torque and the vehicle speed requirement, the monitoring result can be generated; similarly, after the MCU executes the required torque, it feeds back the feedback torque to the VCU. Therefore, based on the required torque, the feedback torque, and the feedback torque requirement, the monitoring result can also be generated.

[0092] As an embodiment of the present invention, the generating the monitoring result based on the required torque, the intermediate torque, and the vehicle driving direction includes:

[0093] Monitor whether the direction of the required torque matches the vehicle driving direction;

[0094] When the direction of the required torque matches the vehicle driving direction, judge whether the required torque is in the torque filtering stage;

[0095] If the required torque is in the torque filtering stage, after a preset filtering duration, judge whether the direction of the output torque after filtering matches the vehicle driving direction;

[0096] If the required torque has passed the torque filtering stage, directly judge whether the direction of the output torque matches the vehicle driving direction.

[0097] It can be understood that when the required torque passes through the torque filtering, there will be fluctuations. Therefore, if the real-time obtained required torque is directly used to judge whether it matches the vehicle driving direction, it is easy to cause misjudgment due to the torque fluctuation, and then cause the VCU to make wrong processing, which in turn affects the normal driving of the vehicle.

[0098] Specifically, during the process of monitoring the torque of an electric vehicle, first monitor the direction of the required torque obtained by parsing, that is, whether the positive or negative of the required torque matches the vehicle driving direction, so that when a torque requirement with a wrong direction appears during torque parsing, it can be immediately identified to avoid the vehicle from having an unexpected wrong driving direction. Then, when there is no directional error in the required torque obtained by parsing, when the required torque is in the torque filtering stage, after a preset filtering duration, determine whether the output torque after filtering matches the vehicle driving direction. When the required torque has passed the torque filtering stage, directly determine whether the output torque matches the vehicle driving direction, thus leaving time for filtering the required torque and avoiding misjudgment of whether the required torque matches the vehicle driving direction caused by judging the required torque during the filtering process, improving the accuracy of torque direction monitoring, ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle, and improving the driving safety and experience of users.

[0099] It should be noted that currently, electric vehicles are generally equipped with an electric braking system (EBS). When the EBS is activated, the required torque is taken over by the EBS. Therefore, when monitoring the required torque using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to determine whether the EBS is activated.

[0100] Furthermore, when the vehicle's gear is not in N or P gear and a vehicle speed control mode such as cruise control is activated, the vehicle speed will be controlled. At this time, by monitoring the vehicle speed, the monitoring of whether the torque is reasonable can be achieved, and it is not necessary to monitor the required torque and intermediate torque provided by the VCU. Therefore, when monitoring the required torque using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiments of the present invention, it is also necessary to determine whether the vehicle is in a vehicle speed control mode.

[0101] More specifically, the monitoring process of torque direction monitoring using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiments of the present invention is as follows Figure 2 shown: First, determine whether the current gear of the vehicle is in N or P gear; when the vehicle's gear is in N or P gear, it means the vehicle is in a stationary state. Therefore, when the vehicle VCU is normal, the required torque obtained should be 0. So, when the obtained required torque is not 0, the next step should be entered, that is, to determine whether the required torque is in the torque filtering stage. Then, when the vehicle's current gear is not in N or P gear, determine whether the vehicle is in a vehicle speed control mode, and after determining that it is not in a vehicle speed control mode, further determine whether the vehicle's EBS is activated. When it is determined that the EBS is not activated, further determine whether the required torque obtained from the VCU is reasonable according to the vehicle's current gear and the overall vehicle operating state, that is:

[0102] When the current gear of the vehicle is in D gear and the vehicle running mode is driving or creeping, the reasonable required torque obtained by the VCU should be greater than 0. When the vehicle running mode is coasting or braking, the reasonable required torque obtained by the VCU should be less than 0. Therefore, if the required torque obtained at this time is different from the reasonable required torque, the next step should be entered, that is, to judge whether the required torque is in the torque filtering stage.

[0103] When the current gear of the vehicle is in R gear and the vehicle running mode is driving or creeping, the reasonable required torque obtained by the VCU should be less than 0. When the vehicle running mode is coasting or braking, the reasonable required torque obtained by the VCU should be greater than 0. Therefore, if the required torque obtained at this time is different from the reasonable required torque, the next step should also be entered, that is, to judge whether the required torque is in the torque filtering stage.

[0104] Furthermore, before it is judged that the required torque is in the filtering stage, it can be immediately judged that the direction of the required torque obtained by the VCU at this time is incorrect, and the directional monitoring fault flag bit 1 is activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing. When it is judged that the required torque is in the filtering stage, after a preset filtering duration S (such as 1 second, 1.5 seconds), that is, after the required torque is filtered to form an intermediate torque, if it is judged that the intermediate torque is different from the reasonable required torque, it is determined that the torque direction of the intermediate torque obtained by the VCU is incorrect, and the directional monitoring fault flag bit 2 is activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0105] It can be understood that by introducing the preset filtering duration, false alarms caused by the required torque during filtering not meeting the upper and lower limit ranges of torque monitoring in a short time are avoided. When the vehicle running mode changes, since the required torque also changes, a torque monitoring process should be entered again at this time.

[0106] As an embodiment of the present invention, generating the monitoring result based on the required torque and the torque change requirement includes:

[0107] Obtain the required torque within a preset duration period;

[0108] Based on the time sequence, calculate the change rate of the output torque within the preset duration period;

[0109] Based on the relationship between the change rate and a preset change rate threshold, monitor whether the change rate of the required torque matches the torque change requirement.

[0110] Specifically, by obtaining the required torque within a preset duration period, then calculating the change rate of the required torque based on the time sequence of each required torque, and then according to the relationship between the change rate of the required torque and the preset change rate threshold, it can be determined whether the change rate of the required torque meets the torque change requirement, that is, whether the change amount of the required torque within the preset duration period is too large, so as to monitor the uneven running of the vehicle caused by the excessive change amount of the output torque.

[0111] More specifically, the preset duration period can be flexibly set according to the running requirements of the vehicle, generally set to 10 milliseconds, 15 milliseconds, etc., to monitor the sudden change of the required torque. At the same time, for different vehicle running modes, the monitoring standard of the change rate should also be different, that is, the preset change rate thresholds for different vehicle running modes are different. It can be understood that since the preset change rate threshold reflects the change of the required torque and is used to monitor the maximum value of the change step that the required torque can change within a unit time, and the change step of the required torque within a unit time is related to the vehicle running mode, vehicle speed and required torque, so the preset change rate threshold should not be a fixed value, but a variable that changes correspondingly with the vehicle running mode, vehicle speed and required torque. Specifically, it can be set to limit by multiplying the maximum allowable step length calibrated according to the current vehicle running mode, vehicle speed and required torque by a margin coefficient δ. Among them, δ can be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc., and is specifically set according to the smoothness of the vehicle running that needs to be ensured. When the requirement for smoothness is relatively high, δ is set smaller, and when the requirement for smoothness is relatively low, δ is set larger.

[0112] Furthermore, the monitoring process of monitoring the change rate of the required torque by using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 3 shown as:

[0113] First, it is judged whether the vehicle is in the vehicle speed control mode. When the vehicle is in the vehicle speed control mode, it is also necessary to ensure that the vehicle speed is relatively stable to make the vehicle run smoothly. Therefore, at this time, it is also necessary to ensure that the change rate dT of the required torque is less than |dT5|. When the vehicle is not in the vehicle speed control mode, it is further judged whether the EBS of the vehicle is started. When it is determined that the EBS is not started, it is further judged whether the required torque obtained by the VCU is reasonable according to the current gear and the vehicle running state of the vehicle, that is:

[0114] When the current gear of the vehicle is in D gear and the vehicle is in driving or creeping mode, the change rate dT of the required torque should be less than or equal to the preset change rate threshold |dT1|; when in coasting or braking mode, the change rate dT of the required torque should be less than or equal to |dT2|; when the current gear is in R gear, in driving or creeping mode, the change rate dT of the required torque should be less than or equal to |dT3|; when in coasting or braking mode, the change rate dT of the required torque should be less than or equal to |dT4|. Therefore, if the change rate of the required torque obtained at this time is greater than the corresponding preset change rate threshold, it is determined that the change amount of the required torque obtained by the VCU is too large, and the change amount monitoring fault flag bit is activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0115] As an embodiment of the present invention, the control status information further includes: cruise control information;

[0116] Generating the monitoring result based on the required torque and the vehicle speed requirement includes:

[0117] When the cruise control information indicates that cruise control is enabled, monitor whether the vehicle speed generated by the vehicle based on executing the required torque matches the cruise vehicle speed defined by the cruise control.

[0118] It can be understood that after the vehicle activates cruise control, the VCU can automatically maintain the vehicle speed according to the vehicle speed required by the driver without stepping on the accelerator pedal, enabling the vehicle to travel at a fixed speed.

[0119] Specifically, by obtaining the vehicle speed of the vehicle and, after the vehicle activates cruise control, comparing the difference between the vehicle speed and the cruise vehicle speed with a preset first speed threshold, it is possible to monitor whether the required torque of the VCU meets the requirements of the cruise vehicle speed, that is, to determine whether the required torque of the VCU is normal.

[0120] More specifically, the preset first speed threshold can be flexibly set as needed, for example, set to 10 kilometers per hour, 15 kilometers per hour, etc.

[0121] Furthermore, the monitoring process for monitoring the cruise vehicle speed using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows Figure 4 shown as:

[0122] First, it is determined whether the cruise control is turned on. When the cruise control is turned on, the set cruise vehicle speed U1 of the cruise control needs to be obtained. Then, the vehicle speed Ut1 is monitored, and it is determined whether |U1 - Ut1| exceeds the preset first speed threshold dU1. When |U1 - Ut1| > dU1, it is determined that the vehicle speed generated based on the execution demand torque does not match the cruise vehicle speed limited by the cruise control, that is, the demand torque of the VCU cannot make the vehicle cruise at a constant speed normally. At this time, the vehicle speed control monitoring fault flag can be activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0123] As an embodiment of the present invention, the control state information includes: maximum vehicle speed limit information;

[0124] Generating the monitoring result based on the demand torque and the vehicle speed requirement includes:

[0125] When the maximum vehicle speed limit information is to limit the maximum vehicle speed, it is monitored whether the vehicle speed generated based on the execution of the demand torque meets the requirement of the maximum vehicle speed limited in the maximum vehicle speed limit information.

[0126] It can be understood that general engineering vehicles, driving school training vehicles, etc. are configured with a maximum vehicle speed limit function, that is, when the VCU function is normal, when the vehicle speed reaches the maximum vehicle speed limit, the vehicle will give an alarm, and then even if the accelerator pedal is continuously depressed deeply, the vehicle speed will not increase anymore.

[0127] Specifically, when the maximum vehicle speed limit information is to turn on the maximum vehicle speed limit, by obtaining the maximum vehicle speed limit value and determining whether the difference between the vehicle speed and the maximum vehicle speed limit value exceeds the preset second speed threshold, it is possible to monitor whether the vehicle speed of the vehicle meets the requirement of the maximum vehicle speed limited in the maximum vehicle speed limit information, that is, to determine whether the demand torque matches the vehicle operation mode.

[0128] More specifically, the preset second speed threshold can also be flexibly set as needed, for example, set to 10 kilometers per hour, 15 kilometers per hour, etc.

[0129] Furthermore, the cruise control and the maximum vehicle speed limit both belong to monitoring the vehicle speed of the vehicle to monitor the output torque of the VCU. Therefore, the cruise control vehicle speed monitoring and the maximum vehicle speed limit monitoring using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiments of the present invention can be jointly monitored, and the monitoring process is as Figure 5 shown as:

[0130] First, it is determined whether the cruise control is turned on. When the cruise control is turned on, in accordance with Figure 4Monitor the monitoring process. When the cruise control is not turned on, determine whether the maximum speed limit is turned on. When the maximum speed limit is turned on, obtain the maximum speed limit U2. Then, monitor the vehicle speed Ut1 and determine whether |U2 - Ut1| exceeds the preset first speed threshold dU2. When |U2 - Ut1| > dU2, it is determined that the required torque of the VCU does not match the vehicle operation mode, that is, the required torque of the VCU cannot make the vehicle travel at the maximum speed limit. At this time, the vehicle speed control monitoring fault flag bit is also activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0131] As an embodiment of the present invention, generating the monitoring result based on the required torque, the feedback torque, and the feedback torque requirement includes:

[0132] Receive the feedback torque fed back after the motor controller of the vehicle executes the output torque;

[0133] Monitor whether the feedback torque matches the required torque.

[0134] It can be understood that the torque output path of the electric vehicle is that the VCU outputs the calculated required torque to the motor controller MCU according to the pedal and gear information. Therefore, when the torque response of the MCU is abnormal, it may also cause dangerous situations such as the vehicle traveling in the wrong direction or unexpected acceleration.

[0135] Specifically, when the MCU response is normal, the feedback torque should be equal to the required torque. Therefore, by obtaining the feedback torque of the MCU and then judging whether the difference between the feedback torque and the required torque exceeds the preset deviation threshold, it is possible to determine the response fault of the MCU to the required torque when the difference between the feedback torque and the required torque exceeds the preset deviation threshold.

[0136] More specifically, the preset deviation threshold can be flexibly set according to the actual situation, such as set to 50 N·m, 100 N·m, etc.

[0137] Further, the monitoring process of MCU torque monitoring using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiment of the present invention is as Figure 6 shown as:

[0138] First, determine whether there is a communication fault in the MCU message, such as Busoff, communication loss, etc. If so, exit the MCU torque monitoring. If not, determine whether the MCU is in the enabled state. When the MCU is in the enabled state, determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the current torque Tm fed back by the MCU and the required torque Tq of the VCU is greater than the preset deviation threshold dS. When |Tm - Tq| > dS, it is determined that there is a response fault of the MCU to the required torque of the VCU. At this time, the MCU torque fault flag can be activated for subsequent fault analysis and processing.

[0139] Based on the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the above embodiments of the present invention, the torque monitoring based on the VCU can be configured as a two - layer architecture including a VCU logic layer 1 and a VCU monitoring layer 2 as Figure 7 shown. The VCU logic layer 1 is used to obtain the control state information of the vehicle, such as the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, gear, vehicle speed, and cruise control, and then output the torque based on the obtained control state information. The VCU monitoring layer 2 includes four monitoring parts: directional monitoring 3, change amount monitoring 4, vehicle speed monitoring 5, and MCU torque monitoring 6, which are used to monitor the required torque or the output torque based on the control state information. At the same time, the VCU monitoring layer 2 is also connected to the MCU 7, so that the MCU 7 receives the torque output by the VCU monitoring layer 2 and, when enabled, feeds back the torque to the VCU monitoring layer 2 for monitoring the response fault of the MCU 7 to the required torque.

[0140] Furthermore, the VCU logic layer, VCU monitoring layer, and MCU shown in Figure 7 can be further divided according to different functions, specifically as Figure 8As shown in the figure, the VCU logic layer includes a vehicle mode analysis part 8, a torque analysis part 9, a vehicle speed control part 10, and a torque filtering part 11. The VCU monitoring layer includes a first-direction monitoring part 12, a second-direction monitoring part 13, a change amount monitoring part 14, a vehicle speed monitoring part 15, and an MCU torque monitoring part 16. The MCU includes an MCU torque feedback part 17. Among them, the vehicle analysis part 8 is used to obtain control state information such as the accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and gear position to determine the vehicle operation mode. The torque analysis part 9 is used to calculate the required torque based on the vehicle operation mode. The torque filtering part 11 is used to perform torque filtering on the required torque, obtain the intermediate torque that needs to be experienced during the process of reaching the required torque, and transmit it to the MCU torque feedback part 17. The vehicle speed control part 10 is used to control the vehicle speed based on the vehicle operation mode. The first-direction monitoring part 12 is used to monitor the required torque before filtering. The second-direction monitoring part 13 is used to monitor the intermediate torque after filtering. The change amount monitoring part 14 is used to monitor the change rate of the required torque. The vehicle speed monitoring part 15 is used to monitor vehicle speeds such as constant speed cruise and maximum speed limit. The MCU torque monitoring part 16 is used to monitor the response of the MCU to the required torque based on the feedback torque obtained from the MCU torque feedback part 17. Thus, multi-faceted monitoring of torque is achieved, which is beneficial to ensuring torque safety. At the same time, when monitoring the torque direction, the time of torque filtering is considered to prevent false alarms of torque monitoring failures during the torque change process, improving the accuracy of monitoring.

[0141] As an embodiment of the present invention, the electric vehicle torque monitoring method further includes:

[0142] When the direction of the required torque and / or the output torque does not match the vehicle driving direction, it is determined that a torque directionality failure has occurred;

[0143] Record the torque directionality failure and adjust the required torque to 0;

[0144] When the change rate of the required torque does not match the torque change requirement, it is determined that a torque change amount failure has occurred;

[0145] Record the torque change amount failure and control the required torque to change according to the preset torque change calibration value in the corresponding vehicle operation mode;

[0146] When the vehicle speed generated by the vehicle based on the execution of the required torque does not match the vehicle speed requirement, it is determined that a vehicle speed control failure has occurred;

[0147] Record the vehicle speed control failure, control the closing of the constant speed cruise or maximum speed limit of the vehicle, and adjust the required torque to 0;

[0148] When the feedback torque does not match the required torque, it is determined that the motor controller of the vehicle has a fault in responding to the required torque;

[0149] Record the response fault of the motor controller, control the motor controller to stop enabling, the motor of the vehicle enters the standby state, and adjust the required torque to 0.

[0150] Specifically, using the electric vehicle torque monitoring method described in the embodiments of the present invention, the logic diagram for separately processing different monitoring faults is as Figure 9 shown. According to the monitoring results of each part of the VCU monitoring layer, by designing different fault handling measures, the safety of the vehicle's torque can be ensured, thereby ensuring the driving safety of users and improving the driving experience of users.

[0151] More specifically, by recording different faults, it is convenient to analyze and process the faults subsequently.
