Any embodiment or design scheme described as “exemplary” or “for example” in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the words such as “exemplary” or “for example” are intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, motor homes have gradually begun to popularize. Water and electricity are very concerned by all motor home users. Adequate water and electricity system can make long-distance travel more comfortable. New energy pure electric motor home uses the high-voltage battery energy of the whole vehicle to obtain electric energy. However, in remote non-operating areas or nearby special circumstances where there is no available charging pile, users may have difficulty in charging the whole vehicle in time. Therefore, in the case that the motor home cannot quickly supplement the electric energy at night, the air conditioner, light, refrigerator and other electrical appliances in the motor home cannot be used, which affects the safety and comfort of the motor home users during the rest period.

[0049] The traditional power motor home usually obtains electric energy by connecting an external generator, installing a solar panel, and increasing a 24V battery when parked for power supply. The convenience and safety during use are poor.

[0050] The control method of the range-extending motor home of the present application will be described below in combination with some embodiments:

[0051] The range-extending motor home is a motor home configured with a range extender, which means that the electric vehicle uses other energy (such as gasoline) to supplement electric energy in the case of insufficient battery power. Its main working feature is to work in pure electric mode most of the time and work in range-extending mode in a few cases, that is, the electric energy generated by the range extender is supplied to the motor through the battery, and the battery can also be charged.

[0052] The execution subject of the control method of the extended-range RV of the present invention can be the control device of the extended-range RV, and the control device of the extended-range RV can be a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit), PC (Personal Computer), tablet computer, portable computer or server and other devices.

[0053] The present invention obtains the current moment and the remaining power of the extended-range RV, and determines whether the current moment is in a preset rest period; if the current moment is in a preset rest period, it determines whether the remaining power is higher than a preset minimum low-power threshold; if the remaining power is not higher than the preset minimum low-power threshold, it controls the range extender of the extended-range RV to operate at a preset low power until the remaining power reaches a preset maximum low-power threshold. Therefore, the present invention uses the range extender of the extended-range RV to generate electricity, which can solve the problem of insufficient power during the rest period. On the one hand, controlling the range extender of the extended-range RV to operate at a preset low power can ensure that the noise generated by the range extender of the extended-range RV when operating at the preset low power is small, avoiding affecting the user's rest state; on the other hand, it can maintain the remaining power of the extended-range RV within a lower power range and reduce the working time of the range extender, thereby improving the safety and comfort of the RV user during the rest period.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the device structure of the hardware operating environment involved in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the control device of the extended-range RV may include: a processor 1001, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 1002, a user interface 1003, a network interface 1004, and a memory 1005. Among them, the communication bus 1002 is used to realize the connection and communication between these components. The user interface 1003 may include a display screen (Display), an input unit such as a keyboard (Keyboard), and optionally the user interface 1003 may also include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface. The network interface 1004 may optionally include a standard wired interface and a wireless interface (such as a wireless fidelity (WI-FI) interface). The memory 1005 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) memory, or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk memory. The memory 1005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 1001.

[0056] Those skilled in the art can understand that, Figure 1 The device structure shown in the above figure does not constitute a limitation on the control device of the range-extended recreational vehicle, and can include more or fewer components than the figure, or combine certain components, or different component arrangements.

[0057] As Figure 1 The memory 1005 as a computer storage medium can include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a control application program of the range-extended recreational vehicle.

[0058] In Figure 1 In the device shown in the above figure, the processor 1001 can be used to call the control application program of the range-extended recreational vehicle stored in the memory 1005, and perform the operations of the control method of the range-extended recreational vehicle in each of the following embodiments.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The flowchart of the first embodiment of the control method of the range-extended recreational vehicle of the present application.

[0060] The first embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a range-extended recreational vehicle, which comprises the following steps:

[0061] Step S100, obtaining the current time and the remaining power of the range-extended recreational vehicle, and determining whether the current time is in a preset rest period;

[0062] The range-extended recreational vehicle can obtain time information from a T-BOX (Telematics BOX, vehicle-mounted remote information processor) through a vehicle controller to determine the current time. It can also collect the SOC (State Of Charge) of the range-extended recreational vehicle through the vehicle controller to determine the remaining power of the range-extended recreational vehicle. Then determine whether the current time is in a preset rest period. The preset rest period can be a rest period set by the manufacturer in advance, for example, 20:00 at night to 08:00 in the daytime, or a rest period set by the user. Of course, it can be understood that the preset rest period can be multiple, and the preset rest period is not necessarily limited to night, for example, the preset rest period can also be from 12:00 to 15:00 in the daytime.

[0063] Further, before the step of obtaining the current time and the remaining power of the range-extended recreational vehicle, and determining whether the current time is in a preset rest period in step S100, the step comprises:

[0064] Step S110, when receiving a preset camping instruction of the user, determining whether the vehicle state of the range-extended recreational vehicle meets a preset camping condition;

[0065] In step S120, if the vehicle state meets the preset camping condition, the following step is performed: obtaining the current time and the remaining power of the extended-range motor home, and determining whether the current time is in the preset resting period.

[0066] Specifically, a corresponding camping mode button can be arranged on the extended-range motor home. When the user presses the camping mode button, it is considered that the preset camping instruction of the user is received. Of course, the user can also issue the preset camping instruction in other ways, for example, through a terminal device (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.) in communication connection with the control device of the extended-range motor home.

[0067] When the preset camping instruction of the user is received, the vehicle state of the extended-range motor home can be obtained, wherein the vehicle state can include current speed, current gear, throttle pedal opening degree and the like. Then, it is determined whether the vehicle state meets the preset camping condition, and the preset camping condition is a condition for determining whether the vehicle is in a stopped driving state, for example, the speed is zero for a long time, the current gear is a parking gear, and the like, so as to determine whether the extended-range motor home is still in a driving state. If the vehicle state meets the preset camping condition, it indicates that the extended-range motor home is in a stopped driving state, and then step S100 is performed. If the vehicle state does not meet the preset camping condition, it indicates that the extended-range motor home is still in a driving state, and the preset camping instruction can be a false touch, and then step S100 is not performed.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the preset camping instruction of the user is received, the vehicle state of the extended-range motor home is determined, and then it is determined whether the vehicle state meets the preset camping condition, so as to avoid the interference of normal driving of the vehicle due to false operation and the like.

[0069] Further, the vehicle state includes current speed, current gear and throttle pedal opening degree, and the step S110 of determining whether the vehicle state of the extended-range motor home meets the preset camping condition includes:

[0070] In step S111, it is determined whether the current speed is lower than a preset minimum speed, whether the current gear is a parking gear, and whether the throttle pedal opening degree is lower than a preset minimum opening degree.

[0071] In step S112, if the current speed is lower than the preset minimum speed, the current gear is a parking gear, and the throttle pedal opening degree is lower than the preset minimum opening degree, it is determined that the vehicle state of the extended-range motor home meets the preset camping condition.

[0072] The vehicle state of the extended-range recreational vehicle can include a current vehicle speed, a current gear, and an accelerator pedal opening. Then it can be determined whether the current vehicle speed is lower than a preset minimum vehicle speed (for example, 3 km / h, 5 km / h, etc.), whether the current gear is a parking gear (i.e., P gear), and whether the accelerator pedal opening is lower than a preset minimum opening (for example, 3°, 5°, etc.). If the current vehicle speed is lower than the preset minimum vehicle speed, the current gear is the parking gear, and the accelerator pedal opening is lower than the preset minimum opening, it indicates that the extended-range recreational vehicle is in the parking gear, the current vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal opening are very small, and the extended-range recreational vehicle is in a stopped driving state. Therefore, it is determined that the vehicle state of the extended-range recreational vehicle meets the preset camping condition. If the current vehicle speed is not lower than the preset minimum vehicle speed, and / or the current gear is not the parking gear, and / or the accelerator pedal opening is not lower than the preset minimum opening, it is determined that the vehicle state of the extended-range recreational vehicle does not meet the preset camping condition.

[0073] In this embodiment, the current vehicle speed, the current gear, and the accelerator pedal opening of the extended-range recreational vehicle are determined to determine whether the extended-range recreational vehicle is in a driving state. Then, when the extended-range recreational vehicle is in the driving state, it is determined that the vehicle state of the extended-range recreational vehicle does not meet the preset camping condition. This can effectively improve the accuracy of determining whether the vehicle state of the extended-range recreational vehicle meets the preset camping condition.

[0074] In step S200, if the current time is in the preset rest period, it is determined whether the remaining electric quantity is higher than a preset minimum low electric quantity threshold.

[0075] If the current time is in the preset rest period, it indicates that the extended-range recreational vehicle is in a stopped driving state, and the user is preparing to rest or has already rested. Then, it can be determined whether the remaining electric quantity is higher than a preset minimum low electric quantity threshold. The preset minimum low electric quantity threshold is the minimum threshold of a preset low electric quantity interval. For example, the preset low electric quantity interval is 15%-40% of the rated capacity of the power battery of the extended-range recreational vehicle, and the preset minimum low electric quantity threshold is 15%. If the current time is not in the preset rest period, it indicates that the user is not resting. Then, the remaining electric quantity can be maintained in a higher electric quantity interval to meet the power demand in vehicle driving.

[0076] In step S300, if the remaining electric quantity is not higher than the preset minimum low electric quantity threshold, the range extender of the extended-range recreational vehicle is controlled to operate at a preset low power until the remaining electric quantity reaches a preset maximum low electric quantity threshold.

[0077] Specifically, the preset low power is a power value when the range-extender operating noise of the range-extending motor home is less than a preset decibel threshold (such as 40 decibels, 43 decibels, 45 decibels, etc.), for example, 20%, 25%, 30% of the rated power, etc. When the remaining power is not higher than the preset minimum low power threshold, the range-extender of the range-extending motor home is controlled to operate at the preset low power, which can ensure that the noise generated by the range-extender of the range-extending motor home operating at the preset low power is small, avoiding affecting the rest state of the user. Wherein, the preset maximum low power threshold is the maximum threshold of the preset low power range, for example, the preset low power range is 15%-40% of the rated capacity of the power battery, and the preset maximum low power threshold is 40%. The range-extender of the range-extending motor home operates at the preset low power until the remaining power reaches the preset maximum low power threshold, and the operation of the range-extender can be stopped when the remaining power reaches the preset maximum low power threshold. Since the power consumption of the motor home in the stopped driving state is much lower than that in the driving process, the remaining power of the range-extending motor home can be maintained in the preset low power range, that is, the problem of insufficient power during the rest period is solved, and at the same time, the operating noise and working time of the range-extender are reduced as much as possible, avoiding affecting the rest of the user.

[0078] In the first embodiment of the present application, the current time and the remaining power of the range-extending motor home are obtained, and it is judged whether the current time is in the preset rest period. If the current time is in the preset rest period, it is judged whether the remaining power is higher than the preset minimum low power threshold. If the remaining power is not higher than the preset minimum low power threshold, the range-extender of the range-extending motor home is controlled to operate at the preset low power until the remaining power reaches the preset maximum low power threshold. Thus, the embodiment can solve the problem of insufficient power during the rest period by using the range-extender of the range-extending motor home to generate power, and on the one hand, the range-extender of the range-extending motor home is controlled to operate at the preset low power, which can ensure that the noise generated by the range-extender of the range-extending motor home operating at the preset low power is small, avoiding affecting the rest state of the user, and on the other hand, the remaining power of the range-extending motor home can be maintained in a lower power range, which can also reduce the working time of the range-extender, thereby improving the safety and comfort of the motor home user during the rest period.

[0079] Further, with reference to Figure 3 , the second embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a range-extending motor home, based on the above Figure 2 embodiment, the step S300 of controlling the range-extender of the range-extending motor home to operate at the preset low power includes:

[0080] Step S310, controlling the range-extender of the range-extending motor home to operate at the preset low power, and collecting the current noise decibel value of the range-extending motor home;

[0081] Step S311, according to the current noise decibel value and the decibel difference value of the preset decibel threshold, query the preset decibel difference value and the correction coefficient mapping table to obtain the corresponding target correction coefficient;

[0082] Step S312, according to the target correction coefficient, the preset low power is corrected to obtain a new preset low power, and the range extender of the range extended house car is controlled to run at the new preset low power.

[0083] The range extender will usually bring a certain degree of noise during operation, and the noise decibel of the range extender is not only affected by the running power of the range extender, but also by the maintenance state, running time, structure of the range extender and other factors.

[0084] In this embodiment, the range extender of the range extended house car is controlled to run at a preset low power, and the current noise decibel value of the range extended house car is collected. The current noise decibel value can be the noise decibel value in the cabin of the range extended house car, or the noise decibel value when the range extender is running. According to the decibel difference value of the current noise decibel value and the preset decibel threshold, wherein the preset decibel threshold is a decibel value that does not affect user rest, such as 40 decibels, 43 decibels, 45 decibels, etc. It can be understood that the corresponding preset decibel threshold when the current noise decibel value is the noise decibel value in the cabin of the range extended house car is different from the corresponding preset decibel threshold when the current noise decibel value is the noise decibel value when the range extender is running. The decibel difference value of the current noise decibel value and the preset decibel threshold can determine the influence degree of the current noise on the user's rest state. The decibel difference value can be the difference between the current noise decibel value and the preset decibel threshold, or the difference between the preset decibel threshold and the current noise decibel value. Taking the decibel difference value as an example, the difference between the current noise decibel value and the preset decibel threshold is less than 1, the greater the decibel difference value, the smaller the target correction coefficient, such as 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, etc. The decibel difference value is negative, and the target correction coefficient is greater than 1, the smaller the decibel difference value, the greater the target correction coefficient, such as 1.1, 1.2, etc. Of course, it can be understood that the target correction coefficient corresponding to the decibel difference value less than zero (i.e. the current noise decibel value is lower than the preset decibel threshold) in the preset decibel difference value and correction coefficient mapping table can be set to 1, i.e. the current noise decibel value is lower than the preset decibel threshold, the preset low power is not corrected to provide lower noise and improve the comfort of the user during rest. Thus, the preset decibel difference value and the correction coefficient mapping table can be queried to obtain the corresponding target correction coefficient. Then, according to the target correction coefficient, the preset low power is corrected to obtain a new preset low power, and the range extender of the range extended house car is controlled to run at the new preset low power.

[0085] The embodiment updates the preset low power by the decibel difference between the current noise decibel value of the range-extending motor home and the preset decibel threshold, thereby avoiding the influence of the maintenance state, running time, and range-extender structure of the range extender, and maintaining the current noise decibel of the range-extending motor home within the preset decibel threshold, so as to avoid affecting the user's rest.

[0086] Further, before step S300, the method further comprises:

[0087] Step S320, obtaining the current power consumption of the range-extending motor home and the interval time length between the current time and the end time of the preset rest period;

[0088] Step S321, obtaining the estimated power consumption according to the current power consumption and the interval time length;

[0089] Step S322, obtaining the preset maximum low power threshold according to the preset minimum low power threshold and the estimated power consumption.

[0090] When the user is preparing to rest or has already rested, the air conditioner, refrigerator, and other electrical appliances in the range-extending motor home are still in use. At this time, the current power consumption of the range-extending motor home is obtained to determine the power consumption of the range-extending motor home. In addition, considering that the power at different time points may fluctuate, the average value of the real-time power consumption in a preset monitoring time (such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc.) can be obtained as the current power consumption to improve the accuracy of identifying the power consumption of the range-extending motor home. Then the interval time length between the current time and the end time of the preset rest period is determined. According to the product of the current power consumption and the interval time length, the estimated power consumption is obtained. For example, the current power consumption is 2 kilowatts, and the interval time length is 4 hours, so the estimated power consumption is 8 kilowatt-hours. Then, according to the preset minimum low power threshold and the estimated power consumption, the preset maximum low power threshold is obtained. Taking the rated capacity of the battery of the range-extending motor home as 40 kilowatt-hours, the preset minimum low power threshold as 15%, and the estimated power consumption as 8 kilowatt-hours as an example, the power ratio corresponding to the estimated power consumption is 8 / 40=20%, and the preset maximum low power threshold is the sum of the preset minimum low power threshold and the estimated power consumption, i.e. 15%+20%=35%. Of course, considering the battery loss, the accuracy of the current power consumption, and other factors, a certain amount of redundant power can also be set, i.e. the preset maximum low power threshold can be the sum of the preset minimum low power threshold, the estimated power consumption, and a preset redundant power. Taking the redundant power as 5% as an example, the preset maximum low power threshold is 35%+5%=40%.

[0091] In this embodiment, the estimated power consumption is determined by obtaining the current power consumption of the range-extended motor home and the interval length between the current time and the end time of the preset resting period. Then, the preset maximum low power threshold is obtained according to the preset minimum low power threshold and the estimated power consumption. Thus, the value of the preset maximum low power threshold in this embodiment is more reasonable. On the basis of ensuring that the user can use electricity during the preset resting period, the preset maximum low power threshold is prevented from being too small to cause the range extender to start too frequently, which affects the user's rest and the service life of the range extender.

[0092] Further, after the step S321 of obtaining the estimated power consumption according to the current power consumption and the interval length, the method further comprises:

[0093] In step S321A, a corresponding charging time length is obtained according to the estimated power consumption and the preset low power.

[0094] In step S321B, it is determined whether the charging time length exceeds a preset time length threshold.

[0095] In step S321C, if the charging time length exceeds the preset time length threshold, a new estimated power consumption is obtained according to the preset time length threshold and the preset low power.

[0096] In order to avoid the running time of the range extender being too long, after obtaining the estimated power consumption, the power generation amount of the range extender of the range-extended motor home at the preset low power when the estimated power consumption is reached can be determined according to the estimated power consumption and the preset low power. Taking the preset low power as 10 kW and the estimated power consumption as 18 kW as an example, the corresponding charging time length is the quotient of the estimated power consumption and the preset low power, i.e. 18 / 10=1.8 hours, which is 108 minutes. Then, it is determined whether the charging time length exceeds a preset time length threshold (for example, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, etc.). If the charging time length exceeds the preset time length threshold, it indicates that the charging time is too long when the range extender of the range-extended motor home runs at the preset low power. Then, a new estimated power consumption can be obtained according to the preset time length threshold and the preset low power. Taking the preset low power as 10 kW and the preset time length threshold as 90 minutes as an example, the new estimated power consumption is the product of the preset time length threshold and the preset low power, i.e. 10*1.5=15 kW. Then, the preset maximum low power threshold is determined according to the preset minimum low power threshold and the new estimated power consumption. If the charging time length does not exceed the preset time length threshold, step S322 is directly performed. In this embodiment, whether the charging time length exceeds the preset time length threshold is determined, and then the new estimated power consumption is determined to avoid the running time of the range extender being too long, which affects the working state of the range extender and increases the noise when the range extender runs, so as to ensure the comfort of the user during the resting period and the good working state of the range extender.

[0097] Further, in another embodiment, after the step of acquiring the current time and the remaining power and determining whether the current time is in the preset rest period, the method further comprises:

[0098] Step S400, if the current time is not in the preset rest period, determining whether the remaining power is higher than a preset minimum high power threshold;

[0099] Step S410, if the remaining power is not higher than the preset minimum high power threshold, controlling the range extender of the range extended house car to run at a preset high power until the remaining power reaches a preset maximum high power threshold.

[0100] Specifically, if the current time is not in the preset rest period, it can be determined whether the remaining power is higher than a preset minimum high power threshold (e.g. 50%, 60%, 70% of the rated capacity of the power battery). If the remaining power is not higher than the preset minimum high power threshold, the range extender of the range extended house car is controlled to run at a preset high power (e.g. 80%, 90% of the rated power, etc.) until the remaining power reaches a preset maximum high power threshold (e.g. 80%, 90% of the rated capacity of the power battery) to ensure that the power demand of the vehicle can be met during driving.

[0101] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a flowchart of an optional embodiment of the control method of the range extended house car.

[0102] As Figure 4As shown, when the preset camping instruction of the user is received and the vehicle state of the range-extended house car meets the preset camping condition, it is determined that the camping mode of the range-extended house car takes effect. Then, the current time is acquired, and it is judged whether the current time is in a preset rest period (for example, 20:00 at night to 08:00 in the daytime). If the current time is not in the preset rest period, the range-extender control strategy in the non-rest period is executed. When the remaining electric quantity SOC is less than a preset minimum high electric quantity threshold T1, the range extender is enabled, and the range extender works at a preset high power P1. When the range extender generates electricity until the remaining electric quantity SOC reaches a preset maximum high electric quantity threshold T2, the range extender is stopped to be enabled, so that the remaining electric quantity SOC is kept in a higher electric quantity interval to meet the power requirement in vehicle driving. If the current time is in the preset rest period, the range-extender control strategy in the rest period is executed. When the remaining electric quantity SOC is less than a preset minimum low electric quantity threshold T3, the range extender is enabled, and the range extender works at a preset low power P2. When the range extender generates electricity until the remaining electric quantity SOC reaches a preset maximum low electric quantity threshold T4, the range extender is stopped to be enabled, and the remaining electric quantity SOC is kept in a lower electric quantity interval to avoid that the electricity generation time is too long or the range extender startup frequency is too high, and meanwhile, the range extender works at the preset low power P2 to reduce the working noise of the range extender as much as possible. Thus, the safety and comfort of the user in the rest period are improved.
