[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0031] Hybrid vehicle configuration, as one of the core technologies of hybrid power, determines the operating mode and related performance of hybrid vehicles. Currently, there are various hybrid vehicle configurations. For example, Toyota's power-split configuration, with its excellent fuel economy, is widely recognized in the market. However, it is relatively complex, difficult to produce and develop, and its application in mid-to-large-sized longitudinally mounted passenger cars requires an additional transmission system, increasing costs. Honda's dual-motor series-parallel configuration offers good fuel economy, but it can only be applied to small-to-medium-sized transversely mounted models, not mid-to-large-sized longitudinally mounted models. Furthermore, to achieve four-wheel drive, an electric rear axle is needed, resulting in significant modifications to the base model and high costs. Volkswagen's P2 configuration can be applied to both transverse and longitudinally mounted models with minimal modifications to the base model and maximum commonality with traditional vehicles. However, the P2 configuration itself has a relatively low fuel economy, and the overall vehicle energy-saving effect is not significant.

The second synchronizer 211 has its first gear connected to the first gear 212, its second gear connected to the second gear 213, and its third gear neutral. The output shaft 214 of the second synchronizer is connected to the third gear 215 and the fourth gear 216 via splines. The third gear 215 is connected to the gear of the front drive shaft 219, and the fourth gear 216 is connected to the gear of the rear drive shaft 218.
[0051] In yet another alternative embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fourth clutch 217 is mounted on the rear drive shaft 218; the fifth clutch 221 is mounted on the front drive shaft 219. The fourth clutch and the fifth clutch are mounted in the middle of the front and rear drive shafts respectively to realize the functions of front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
[0052] Optionally, the hybrid system also includes a power battery for providing energy to the generator and drive motor.
[0053] The aforementioned power battery can be a power battery in a hybrid vehicle or a power battery in a new energy vehicle, but it is not limited to these.
[0054] In one alternative embodiment, the hybrid system may further include a power battery, which can provide kinetic energy to the vehicle's engine and drive motor.
[0055] Optionally, the operating modes of the hybrid system include: single-motor pure electric drive mode, dual-motor pure electric drive mode, series drive mode, parallel drive mode, engine direct drive mode, single-motor energy recovery mode, dual-motor energy recovery mode, power generation mode, four-wheel drive mode, front-wheel drive mode, and rear-wheel drive mode. In each of these different operating modes, the states of the engine, generator, drive motor, power battery, and different components in the hybrid transmission are different.
[0056] The aforementioned single-motor pure electric drive mode can be a mode where the engine is off, the generator is off, the first clutch is disengaged, the second clutch is disengaged, the third clutch is disengaged, the power battery provides energy to drive the motor, and the power is transmitted to the drive motor power output gear through the drive motor output shaft. At the same time, the first synchronizer is engaged in left gear, and the power is transmitted to the drive mode on the output shaft of the first synchronizer.
[0057] The aforementioned dual-motor pure electric drive mode can be characterized by the engine being stopped, the first clutch being disengaged, the second clutch being disengaged, and the third clutch being engaged. Energy is provided by the battery, and the generator and drive motor are working. Power is transmitted to the drive motor power output gear through the drive motor output shaft, while the first synchronizer is engaged in left gear, and power is transmitted to the output shaft of the first synchronizer.
[0058] In the aforementioned series drive mode, the first clutch is disengaged, the second clutch is engaged, the engine works and drives the generator to generate electricity, the third clutch is disengaged, the generator generates electricity and sends it to the drive motor, the drive motor works, and the power is transmitted to the drive motor power output gear through the drive motor output shaft. At the same time, the first synchronizer is engaged in left gear, and the power is transmitted to the output shaft of the first synchronizer.

[0060] In the aforementioned engine direct drive mode, the engine is running, the first clutch is engaged, the second clutch is disengaged, the third clutch is disengaged, the generator and drive motor are not working, and power is transmitted to the engine power output gear through the engine direct drive shaft. At this time, the first synchronizer is engaged in right gear, and power is transmitted to the output shaft of the first synchronizer.
[0061] The aforementioned single-motor energy recovery mode allows the power system to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the power battery. In this mode, the engine stops, the first clutch disengages, the second clutch disengages, and the third clutch disengages. Power from the front wheels is transmitted to the output shaft of the second synchronizer. Based on the control strategy, the second synchronizer selects the left or right gear, transmitting power to the output shaft of the first synchronizer. The first synchronizer selects the left gear, transmitting power to the drive motor, which then generates electricity and stores the electrical energy in the power battery.
[0062] The aforementioned dual-motor energy recovery mode allows the power system to convert the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the power battery. In this mode, the engine stops, the first clutch disengages, the second clutch disengages, and the third clutch engages. Power from the front wheels is transmitted to the output shaft of the second synchronizer. Based on the control strategy, the second synchronizer selects the left or right gear, transmitting power to the output shaft of the first synchronizer. The first synchronizer selects the left gear, transmitting power to the drive motor and generator, which then generate electricity, storing the electrical energy in the power battery.
[0063] The aforementioned power generation mode can be such that when the battery charge is lower than a threshold control value, the engine starts, drives the generator to generate electricity, and stores the electrical energy in the power battery. The threshold control value can be the minimum amount of electrical energy the battery can provide. When the battery charge is lower than the threshold control value, it indicates that the power battery cannot provide energy to the drive motor and generator, therefore the power battery needs to be charged, which is the power generation mode.
[0064] Optionally, in the single-motor pure electric drive mode of the hybrid system, the engine and generator stop working, the drive motor is in a driving state, the first clutch, second clutch, and third clutch are disengaged, the first synchronizer is in its second gear position, and the power battery is discharging; in the dual-motor pure electric drive mode of the hybrid system, the engine stops working, the generator starts working, the drive motor is in a driving state, the first and second clutches are disengaged, the third clutch is engaged, the first synchronizer is in its second gear position, and the power battery is discharging; in the series drive mode of the hybrid system...

In the parallel drive mode of the hybrid system, the engine and generator start and operate, the drive motor is in driving mode, the first and third clutches are disengaged, the second clutch is engaged, the first synchronizer is in its second gear position, and the power battery is discharging. In the direct drive mode of the hybrid system, the engine starts and operates, and the generator and drive motor stop operating. In the first hybrid system operation mode (single-motor energy recovery mode), the first clutch is engaged, the second and third clutches are disengaged, the first synchronizer is in its first gear, and the power battery is in standby mode. In the single-motor energy recovery mode, the engine and generator stop operating, the drive motor is generating electricity, the first, second, and third clutches are all disengaged, the first synchronizer is in its second gear, and the power battery is charging. In the dual-motor energy recovery mode, the engine stops operating, the generator and drive motor are generating electricity, the first and second clutches are disengaged, and the third clutch is engaged. In the engaged state, the first synchronizer is in its second gear position, and the power battery is charging. When the hybrid system operates in generator mode, the engine and generator start, the drive motor stops, the second clutch is engaged, the third clutch is disengaged, and the power battery is charging. Specifically, when the first clutch is engaged, the first synchronizer is in its first gear position; when the first clutch is disengaged, the first synchronizer is in its third gear position, and the power battery is charging. In the four-wheel drive mode, both the fourth and fifth clutches are engaged.When the hybrid system operates in front-wheel drive mode, the fourth clutch is disengaged and the fifth clutch is engaged; when the hybrid system operates in rear-wheel drive mode, the fourth clutch is engaged and the fifth clutch is disengaged.

[0066] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that, compared to Figure 2 The output shaft of the second synchronizer is designed with only the third gear, which is directly connected to the front drive shaft gear. Compared with the longitudinal four-wheel drive system, the fourth gear, fourth clutch and rear drive shaft and other related structures are eliminated.

[0076] B) Single-motor pure electric rear-drive mode: After the power is transmitted to the synchronizer output shaft, the fifth clutch is disengaged and the fourth clutch is engaged.

At the same time, the first synchronizer is engaged to the left gear, and power is transmitted to the output shaft of the second synchronizer.
[0079] In dual-motor pure electric drive mode, this configuration can achieve two speed ratios. The description of the assembly's operating status in the two-speed dual-motor pure electric drive mode is the same as the description of the assembly's operating status in the single-motor pure electric drive mode.
[0080] In dual-motor pure electric drive mode, three modes can also be achieved: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. The powertrain operating status descriptions for each dual-motor pure electric drive mode are consistent with those for single-motor pure electric drive.
[0081] 3. Series drive mode: The first clutch is disengaged, the second clutch is engaged, the engine works and drives the generator to generate electricity, the third clutch is disengaged, the generator generates electricity and sends it to the drive motor, the drive motor works, and the power is transmitted to the drive motor power output gear through the drive motor output shaft.

At the same time, the synchronizer is engaged to the left gear, and the power is transmitted to the output shaft of the first synchronizer. At this time, the power battery provides power to the drive motor, the drive motor works, and the power is transmitted to the drive motor power output gear through the drive motor output shaft. At the same time, the first synchronizer is engaged to the left gear, and the power is transmitted to the output shaft of the first synchronizer, thus realizing the parallel drive mode.

[0099] Example 2
[0100] According to another aspect of the present invention, a control method for a hybrid power system is also provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0101] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a control method for a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0102] Step S502: During vehicle operation, acquire vehicle status information, which includes at least: current vehicle speed, accelerator pedal opening information, and remaining power of the power battery.
[0103] Step S504: Determine the vehicle's drive power based on the current vehicle speed and opening information;
[0104] Step S506: Based on the vehicle's drive power, current vehicle speed, and remaining battery power, control the operating mode of the hybrid system.
[0105] The aforementioned accelerator pedal opening information can be the angle information between the accelerator pedal and the horizontal plane. The smaller the angle, the greater the acceleration, which means the greater the current speed of the vehicle. The larger the angle, the smaller the acceleration, which means the smaller the current speed of the vehicle.
[0106] The aforementioned driving power can be the power required for the vehicle to drive normally under the corresponding vehicle speed and opening information. The specific value is not specifically limited in this embodiment, but is determined based on the vehicle speed and opening information.
[0107] In one optional embodiment, when the vehicle is in operation, the vehicle's status information can be acquired in real time, wherein the status information includes at least: the current vehicle speed, the accelerator pedal opening information, and the remaining power of the power battery.
[0108] In another alternative embodiment, after obtaining the current vehicle speed and opening information, the vehicle's driving power can be determined based on the vehicle speed and opening information.
[0109] In another alternative embodiment, the operating mode of the hybrid system can be controlled based on the vehicle's drive power, current vehicle speed, and remaining battery power.
[0110] Optionally, the operating mode of the hybrid system can be controlled by comparing the drive power with the discharge power limit of the power battery and the remaining charge with the remaining charge limit; in response to the drive power being less than the discharge power limit or the remaining charge being greater than the remaining charge limit, controlling the operating mode to pure electric drive mode; in response to the drive power being greater than or equal to the discharge power limit or the remaining charge being less than or equal to the remaining charge limit, controlling the operating mode to engine direct drive mode or series drive mode based on the current vehicle speed and vehicle performance.
[0111] The aforementioned discharge power limit can be the minimum discharge value that the power battery can guarantee the normal operation of the current vehicle. When the driving power is less than the discharge power limit, it means that the power battery can provide enough electrical energy for the normal operation of the vehicle.
[0112] The aforementioned remaining power limit can be the minimum power value that the power battery can guarantee the normal operation of the vehicle. When the remaining power is greater than the remaining power limit, it means that the power battery has enough power to provide energy for the vehicle to run.
[0113] In one optional embodiment, the driving power can first be compared with the discharge power limit of the power battery, and the remaining charge can be compared with the remaining charge limit. When the driving power is less than the discharge power limit, or the remaining charge is greater than the remaining charge limit, it indicates that the power battery has enough energy to support the normal driving of the vehicle. When the driving power is greater than or equal to the discharge power limit, or the remaining charge is less than or equal to the remaining charge limit, it indicates that the power battery cannot provide enough energy for the normal driving of the vehicle. Therefore, based on the current vehicle speed and the vehicle's performance, the vehicle's operating mode can be controlled to be either engine direct drive mode or series drive mode.
[0114] Optionally, based on the current vehicle speed and vehicle performance, the control operating mode is either engine direct drive mode or series drive mode, including: in response to the current vehicle speed being greater than or equal to the vehicle speed threshold corresponding to the engine direct drive mode, and the vehicle performance meeting the performance requirements corresponding to the engine direct drive mode, the control operating mode is set to engine direct drive mode; in response to the current vehicle speed being less than the vehicle speed threshold, or the vehicle performance not meeting the performance requirements, the control operating mode is set to series drive mode.
[0115] The aforementioned vehicle speed threshold can be the minimum speed that the user sets in advance to enable the engine direct drive mode. When the current vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the vehicle speed threshold, it means that the engine direct drive mode can be enabled. When the vehicle speed is less than the vehicle speed threshold, it means that the engine direct drive mode cannot be enabled.
[0116] The performance requirements corresponding to the aforementioned engine direct drive mode can be the performance requirements that the user has preset to enable the engine direct drive mode. These can include, for example, power, fuel economy, braking, handling stability, smoothness, and off-road capability, but are not limited to these. When the vehicle's performance meets the performance requirements corresponding to the engine direct drive mode, it indicates that the vehicle can currently activate the engine direct drive mode.
[0117] In one optional embodiment, when the current vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the vehicle speed threshold corresponding to the engine direct drive mode, and the vehicle performance meets the performance requirements corresponding to the engine direct drive mode, the vehicle's operating mode is controlled to be the engine direct drive mode; when the current vehicle speed is less than the vehicle speed threshold, or the vehicle performance does not meet the performance requirements, the vehicle's operating mode is controlled to be the series drive mode.
[0118] Optionally, the method further includes: determining whether a start command to activate the four-wheel drive mode has been received; in response to receiving the start command, controlling the operating mode to four-wheel drive mode; and in response to not receiving the start command, controlling the operating mode to two-wheel drive mode.
[0119] The aforementioned start command can be a user-issued command, which can be text, voice, etc. For example, it can be text input in the central control system saying "Start four-wheel drive mode", or it can be voice input saying "Start four-wheel drive mode", but it is not limited to these.
[0120] In one optional embodiment, after the current vehicle receives a start command to activate the four-wheel drive mode, the vehicle's operating mode can be controlled to be four-wheel drive mode; if the current vehicle does not receive a start command to activate the four-wheel drive mode, the vehicle's operating mode can be controlled to be two-wheel drive mode.
[0121] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an optional power system topology according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the power system includes: an engine controller 60 (Engine Management System, EMS), a transmission controller 61 (Transmission Control Unit, TCU), a motor controller 62 (Motor Control Unit, MCU), a battery management system 63 (Battery Management System, BMS), a vehicle controller 64 (Hybrid Control Unit, HCU), a power battery 65, an inverter 66, an engine 10, a generator 14, a drive motor 12, a transmission 67, front wheels 20, and rear wheels 220. The engine controller 60, transmission controller 61, motor controller 62, and battery management system 63 are each connected to their respective controlled objects. The vehicle controller 64 is connected to all the above controllers via a controller area network (CAN) bus, and the controllers exchange information via the CAN bus. The power battery 65 is connected to the inverter 67 via a high-voltage wiring harness. The inverter 67 is connected to the generator 14 and the drive motor 12 to transfer driving / braking energy.
[0122] In this diagram, gray lines represent mechanical connections, black lines represent high-voltage wiring harnesses, lines with arrows represent control signal lines, and dashed lines represent the CAN bus.
[0123] The system works as follows: The HCU and the controllers of each assembly are connected via a CAN bus to form a local area network. Each assembly transmits its status information through its own controller, and data flows and is shared on the CAN bus. The HCU determines the operating mode of the powertrain by monitoring the vehicle status and combining the driver's input through the vehicle's human-machine interface (including accelerator pedal travel, brake pedal travel, mode selection switch, battery discharge power limit, battery SOC limit, etc.). Based on the predefined control strategies for each mode, the HCU sends commands to each assembly via the CAN bus. Each assembly controller receives the commands from the HCU and controls the assembly to respond to the request. Ultimately, the output of each assembly is converted into force at the wheel ends, driving the vehicle to accelerate or decelerate.
[0124] Figure 7 This is a flowchart of an optional power system drive control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0125] In step S700, the HCU calculates the driver's drive torque and power requirements;

[0131] Step S706: Select engine direct drive mode;
[0132] Step S707: Determine whether the driver has selected four-wheel drive mode. If yes, proceed to step S708; otherwise, proceed to step S709.
[0133] Step S708: Enter engine direct drive four-wheel drive mode;
[0134] Step S709: Enter engine direct drive two-wheel drive mode;
[0135] Step S710: Select the serial drive mode;
[0136] Step S711: Determine whether the driver has selected four-wheel drive mode. If yes, proceed to step S712; otherwise, proceed to step S713.
[0137] Step S712, enter the series drive four-wheel drive mode;
[0138] Step S713: Enter the series drive two-wheel drive mode;
[0139] Step S714: Enter pure electric drive mode;
[0140] Step S715: Determine whether the driver has selected four-wheel drive mode. If yes, proceed to step S716; otherwise, proceed to step S717.
[0141] Step S716: Enter pure electric four-wheel drive mode;
[0142] Step S717: Enter pure electric two-wheel drive mode;
[0143] Step S718: Output driving force to the wheel end;
[0144] Step S719: Determine whether the working mode meets the driver's needs. If it does, end the step; otherwise, return to step 700.
