[0060] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0061] See also Figure 1The present invention discloses a vehicle powertrain model simulation method. This method, built within the MATLAB / Simulink environment, establishes a precise and reliable real-time simulation platform for the vehicle powertrain. This platform analyzes the operating principles of the vehicle from the perspective of the entire vehicle and each link in the powertrain, and combines this with MIL testing of the transmission control software. This method fully simulates and verifies the control logic and timing of the TCU software, identifying and resolving software issues as early as possible before transmission calibration.

This significantly improves the development and testing efficiency of vehicle transmission control software, accelerates product development, and reduces testing costs and risks.

[0062] The present invention comprises the following steps:

[0063] Step 1: Establish the vehicle engine model, power shift transmission model, synchronizer shift transmission model and vehicle power model in sequence;

[0064] Step 2: Based on the engine model, the power parameters output by the engine model are obtained, and the obtained power parameters of the engine model are respectively transmitted to the engine model and the power shift transmission model. The specific process is as follows:

[0065] See also Figure 3 ,The engine model consists of four sub-models, namely: starting motor model, ECU controller model, engine ,torque control model and engine speed calculation model.

[0066] Among them, the starter motor model is used to simulate the engine ignition starting process:

[0067] The input signal is the vehicle key status; the output signal is: starter motor output torque T str and the starting motor rotor inertia J str .

[0068] The ECU controller model is used to implement engine speed control:

[0069] For example, after the vehicle is started, PI feedback control is used to adjust the engine speed to idle, and during shift control, the transmission TCU responds to speed requests. Input signals include vehicle key status, engine target speed, engine output speed, and driver-requested throttle opening; the output signal is the ECU's requested throttle opening.

[0070] The engine torque control model calculates the engine output torque by interpolating the engine's external characteristic curve and looking up the table. Input signals include engine output speed and ECU-requested throttle opening; output signals include engine effective torque, engine friction torque, and engine output torque.

[0071] The engine speed calculation model obtains the engine output speed by constructing the dynamic equation:

[0072] The input signals are: engine output torque T eng , Engine crankshaft moment of inertia J eng , starting motor output torque T str , starting motor rotor inertia J str , power shift transmission input torque T pst_in ; The output signal is the engine output speed n eng , the calculation method is as follows:

[0073] n eng =∫[(T eng +T str -T pst_in ) / (J eng +J str )]

[0074] Step 3: Obtain the power parameters output by the power shift transmission based on the power shift transmission model, and transmit the obtained power shift transmission power parameters to the engine model, the power shift transmission model, and the synchronizer shift transmission model respectively. The specific process is as follows:

[0075] See also Figure 4 ,The power shift transmission model includes two sub-models, namely: a power shift transmission torque ,calculation model and a power shift transmission speed ,calculation model.

[0076] The power shift transmission torque calculation model has the function of calculating the wet clutch transmission torque;

[0077] The input signals are: engine output torque T eng , engine output speed n eng , power shift transmission output speed n pst_out , power shift transmission solenoid valve current;

[0078] Output signals are: Power shift transmission input torque T pst_in , power shift transmission output torque T pst_out Here, the wet clutch transmission torque is calculated using a segmented method, and the expression is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] Where, T clu_out is the transmission torque of a single wet clutch, T fric is the slip torque of a single wet clutch, T clu_in is the input torque of a single wet clutch.

[0081] The power shift transmission speed calculation model obtains the power shift transmission output speed by constructing a dynamic equation;

[0082] Input signals are: power shift transmission output torque T pst_out , Synchronizer shift transmission input torque T sync_in , Power shift transmission output shaft moment of inertia J pst_out ;

[0083] The output signal is the power shift transmission output speed n pst_out The calculation method is as follows:

[0084] n pst_out =∫[(T pst_out -T sync_in ) / J pst_out ]

[0085] Step 4: obtaining power parameters output by the synchronizer shift transmission based on the synchronizer shift transmission model, and transmitting the obtained synchronizer shift transmission power parameters to the power shift transmission model and the vehicle power model respectively;

[0086] See also Figure 5 The synchronizer shift transmission model includes three sub-models: synchronizer shift transmission gear calculation model, synchronizer shift transmission torque calculation model and synchronizer shift transmission speed calculation model.

[0087] The synchronizer shift transmission gear calculation model obtains the shift fork position through the solenoid valve current based on the fluid mechanics model, and then further calculates the actual gear position, and obtains the actual speed ratio according to the actual gear position lookup table.

[0088] The input signals are: gearbox system oil temperature, gearbox system oil pressure, synchronizer shift gearbox solenoid valve current; the output signals are: synchronizer shift gearbox actual gear position, synchronizer shift gearbox actual speed ratio g sync .

[0089] The synchronizer shift transmission torque calculation model is used to realize the input and output torque calculation;

[0090] Input signals are: synchronizer shift gearbox actual speed ratio g sync , power shift transmission output torque T pst_out ; Output signals include: synchronizer shift gearbox input torque T sync_in, Synchronizer shift transmission output torque T sync_out The calculation method is as follows:

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] The synchronizer shift transmission speed calculation model is used to realize the output speed calculation.

[0094] Input signals include: actual vehicle speed V veh , vehicle tire radius R tire 、Vehicle rear axle speed ratio g axle ; The output signal is the synchronizer shift gearbox output speed n sync_out The calculation method is as follows:

[0095] n sync_out =V veh / R tire *g axle *30 / π

[0096] Step 5: Obtain the actual vehicle speed based on the vehicle power model, and transmit the actual vehicle speed to the synchronizer shift transmission power model;

[0097] See also Figure 6 The vehicle dynamic model includes two sub-models: vehicle acceleration force calculation model and vehicle speed calculation model.

[0098] The vehicle acceleration force calculation model first calculates the various resistances acting on the vehicle, and then calculates the vehicle's acceleration force.

[0099] Input signals are: synchronizer shift gearbox output torque T sync_out , vehicle mass M veh , vehicle tire radius R tire 、Vehicle rear axle speed ratio g axle , vehicle brake pedal status, vehicle actual speed V veh ;The output signal is the vehicle acceleration force F acc .

[0100] The resistance to the vehicle is composed of four parts: air resistance F air , rolling resistance F rol , slope resistance F clm and braking resistance F brk The driving force F transmitted to the wheels by the vehicle's powertrain drv Subtract these resistances, and the remaining force is the vehicle acceleration force F acc The calculation method is as follows:

[0101] Fdrv =T sync_out *g axle / R tire ;

[0102] F acc =F drv -(F air +F rol +F clm +F brk ).

[0103] The vehicle speed calculation model has a vehicle speed calculation function;

[0104] Input signals are: vehicle acceleration force F acc , vehicle mass M veh ; The output signal is the actual vehicle speed V veh Vehicle acceleration force F acc The vehicle is accelerated, and based on this principle, a dynamic equation is constructed to calculate the actual vehicle speed. The calculation method is as follows:

[0105] V veh =∫(F acc / M veh )

[0106] Step 6: Based on the power parameters obtained in steps 2 to 5, predict whether the vehicle power transmission system meets the preset standards.

[0107] When combining the vehicle powertrain simulation model with the TCU software control model for closed-loop testing, the input and output signals of each module in the vehicle powertrain simulation model can be monitored and recorded in real time. By reviewing and evaluating these signals, the TCU control software model can be further modified and optimized. The specific operation includes the following steps:

[0108] (1) Calculate whether the engine output speed, power shift transmission output speed, synchronizer shift transmission output speed, and actual vehicle speed meet the fixed speed ratio relationship in the transmission mechanical design;

[0109] (2) Calculate whether the engine output torque and the power shift transmission output torque satisfy the fixed speed ratio relationship in the transmission mechanical design;

[0110] (3) Observe whether there are obvious fluctuations in the engine output speed and the actual vehicle speed. If the engine speed drops or the vehicle speed fluctuates greatly, it means that there is a gear shift shock and the control effect is poor. At this time, the TCU software control model needs to be modified and optimized.

[0111] The engine model, power shift transmission model, synchronizer shift transmission model, and vehicle dynamics model constructed by the method disclosed in the present invention all introduce real mechanical parameters. Each model not only conforms to the actual physical characteristics of the relevant modules of the vehicle, but also can be independently unit tested and monitored in real time for each model. It can also be expanded to apply to vehicle power transmission system simulation models of other structures, with strong flexibility and high reusability.

[0112] In the simulation calculation, the power shift transmission input torque output by the power shift transmission model is input into the engine model as a feedback signal; the synchronizer shift transmission input torque output by the synchronizer shift transmission model is input into the power shift transmission model as a feedback signal; the engine output speed output by the engine model is input into itself as a feedback signal; the power shift transmission output speed output by the power shift transmission model is input into itself as a feedback signal; the actual vehicle speed output by the vehicle dynamics model is input into itself and the synchronizer shift transmission model as a feedback signal.

[0113] Based on this principle, the vehicle powertrain simulation model realizes torque closed loop and speed closed loop, so that the real-time simulation platform has both steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the vehicle.

[0114] In the powershift transmission module, the wet clutch torque transfer calculation utilizes a three-stage approach, fully accounting for the clutch's three operating states: open, slipping, and locked. Detailed modeling based on this segmented calculation method enables accurate calculation of the wet clutch's torque transfer capacity regardless of the clutch's control phase (fully disengaged, oil-filling preparation, torque alternation, speed synchronization, or fully engaged) and regardless of changes in the TCU software's control sequence and strategy.

[0115] The present invention discloses an embodiment specifically applied to a tractor vehicle:

[0116] See also Figure 7 The public test case involves a vehicle start. During the co-simulation test, the TCU software control model outputs signals such as the engine target speed, currents of powershift transmission solenoid valves 1 and 2, and currents of synchronizer transmission solenoid valves 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the vehicle powertrain simulation model. The vehicle powertrain simulation model then outputs signals such as engine output torque, engine output speed, powershift transmission output torque, powershift transmission output speed, synchronizer transmission output speed, and actual vehicle speed. Once the vehicle starts and the test case is complete, Simulink monitors and records this data in real time, performing verification and evaluation.

[0117] (1) The engine output speed is 1000 rpm, the power shift transmission output speed is -866.2 rpm, the synchronizer shift transmission output speed is 205.2 rpm, and the actual vehicle speed is 1.92 km / h.

[0118] The speed ratio value obtained by dividing the engine output speed by the power shift transmission output speed is -1.154;

[0119] Dividing the power shift transmission output speed by the synchronizer shift transmission output speed yields a speed ratio value of -4.22;

[0120] The speed ratios calculated above all meet the mechanical design conditions of the transmission's starting gear.

[0121] Similarly, the vehicle speed of 1.92 km / h in the starting gear at an engine speed of 1000 rpm is also in line with the mechanical design state.

[0122] (2) The power shift transmission output torque is -666.1 Nm and the engine output torque is 577 Nm. The speed ratio value obtained by dividing the two is -1.154, which meets the mechanical design state of the transmission starting gear.

[0123] (3) The control effect of TCU software on the power shift transmission clutch during the start process is Figure 7 a and Figure 7 j Comprehensive assessment, Figure 7 The engine output speed dropped slightly between 13.2s and 18.2s, and the maximum speed "sag" was 52rpm. Figure 7 jThe actual vehicle speed increases smoothly without any noticeable shaking or oscillation, so it can be considered that the transmission TCU software has a good control effect when the vehicle starts.

[0124] The model established in the embodiment of the present invention is built based on the Simulink platform. Currently, in the field of transmission control, the existing conventional technical means mostly use tools such as AMEsim or Simscape to build a physical simulation model of the entire vehicle. Among them, there are many disadvantages when jointly simulating AMEsim and Simulink, which are mainly reflected in: (1) complex environment variable configuration and software settings are required in the early stage, (2) Simulink has many restrictions on the software version of AMEsim, and (3) it does not support compilation and generation of C code. The disadvantages of the Simscape tool are as follows: (1) since Simscape and Simulink belong to different libraries, data exchange between components requires type conversion, that is, the mutual conversion between physical signals and Simulink signals, and (2) the simulation model built using the Simscape tool requires a solver to start the simulation. If the solver configuration is not compatible or does not match the control system, it will cause the system simulation time to be extended or an error will be reported or even the simulation cannot be performed.

[0125] All signals in the model constructed in this embodiment of the present invention are Simulink signals, and no conversion between physical and Simulink signals is involved. Because the control model for the transmission embedded software was also developed in a Simulink environment, the vehicle powertrain simulation model and the TCU software control model are highly compatible and parameter-configurable when used together for closed-loop testing. This makes the simulation model easy to adjust and optimize when the transmission mechanical design changes. Furthermore, the simulation model supports C code generation, allowing the model to be deployed in other simulation environments, such as hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.

[0126] The simulation method disclosed in the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to various vehicles such as tractors.

[0128] A model building module is used to sequentially build a vehicle engine model, a power shift transmission model, a synchronizer shift transmission model, and a vehicle power model;
