[0031] Example 1

[0032] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a mode switching method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the automatic switching of vehicle operating modes. The method can be executed by a mode switching device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an in-vehicle terminal. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0033] S110. Obtain the power system data of the current vehicle, wherein the power system data of the current vehicle includes engine data, generator data, drive motor data and battery data.

[0034] In this embodiment, powertrain data refers to relevant parameters of the vehicle's powertrain operation, which may include, but are not limited to, engine data, generator data, drive motor data, and battery data. Engine data refers to operating parameters associated with the engine. Generator data refers to operating parameters associated with the generator. Drive motor data refers to operating parameters associated with the drive motor. Battery data refers to operating parameters associated with the battery.

[0035] For example, powertrain data can be obtained in real time by sensors installed on the vehicle, retrieved from a preset storage path, or calculated from collected data; no limitation is made here.

[0036] S120. Based on the engine data, the generator data, the drive motor data, and the battery data, determine the system series-parallel capability parameters, wherein the system series-parallel capability parameters include system series capability parameters and system parallel capability parameters.

[0037] In this embodiment, the system series-parallel capability parameters include system series capability parameters and system parallel capability parameters. The system series capability parameter refers to the maximum torque provided by the system to the wheels in the series working mode, and the system parallel capability parameter refers to the maximum torque provided by the system to the wheels in the parallel working mode.

[0038] Specifically, engine data, generator data, drive motor data, and battery data can be substituted into a pre-configured calculation model to obtain system series capability parameters and system parallel capability parameters.

[0039] S130. Based on the system series capability parameters and the system parallel capability parameters, switch the current vehicle's system operating mode to the target operating mode.

[0040] The target operating mode can be either a series operating mode or a parallel operating mode.

[0041] For example, if the system series capability parameter is better than the system parallel capability parameter, the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to the series operating mode; if the system parallel capability parameter is better than the system series capability parameter, the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to the parallel operating mode, so that the current vehicle is in the optimal operating mode.

[0042] The technical solution of this invention improves the accuracy of series and parallel connection capability parameters by adding generator data, drive motor data, and battery data, thereby switching the system operating mode to a more reasonable operating mode to meet driving needs.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a mode switching method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The method of this embodiment can be combined with various optional schemes in the mode switching methods provided in the above embodiments. The mode switching method provided in this embodiment has been further optimized. Optionally, determining the system series-parallel capability parameters based on the engine data, the generator data, the drive motor data, and the battery data includes: determining the forced charging power and the corrected discharge power of the power battery based on the battery data; and determining the system series-parallel capability parameters based on the engine data, the generator data, the drive motor data, the forced charging power of the power battery, and the corrected discharge power of the power battery.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0046] S210. Obtain the powertrain data of the current vehicle, wherein the powertrain data of the current vehicle includes engine data, generator data, drive motor data and battery data.

[0047] S220. Based on the battery data, determine the forced charging power of the power battery and the corrected discharge power of the power battery.

[0048] Among them, the forced charging power of the power battery refers to the charging power under forced limiting conditions. The corrected discharge power of the power battery refers to the power parameter after the battery charging power has been corrected.

[0049] In some optional implementations, the battery data includes the state of charge of the power battery, the forced charging threshold of the power battery, and the maximum discharge power of the power battery; correspondingly, determining the forced charging power and the corrected discharge power of the power battery based on the battery data includes: determining the battery charging difference based on the state of charge of the power battery and the forced charging threshold of the power battery; determining the forced charging power of the power battery based on the battery charging difference; and determining the corrected discharge power of the power battery based on the battery charging difference and the maximum discharge power of the power battery.

[0050] Here, "Power Battery State of Charge" refers to the battery's state of charge (SOC). "Forced Charging Threshold" refers to a pre-set charging threshold value. "Maximum Discharge Power" refers to the battery's maximum discharge power. "Battery Charging Difference" refers to the difference between the power battery's state of charge and its forced charging threshold.

[0051] For example, the charging state of the power battery can be subtracted from the forced charging threshold of the power battery to obtain the battery charging difference value. Then, the battery charging difference value can be matched in the data table to obtain the forced charging power or the corrected discharge power of the power battery.

[0052] S230. Based on the engine data, the generator data, the drive motor data, the forced charging power of the power battery, and the corrected discharge power of the power battery, determine the system series capability parameters and the system parallel capability parameters.

[0053] It is understood that in determining the system series capability parameters and the system parallel capability parameters, this embodiment takes into account the forced charging power of the power battery and the corrected discharge power of the power battery, so that the determined system series and parallel capability parameters are more accurate.

[0054] S240. Based on the system series capability parameters and the system parallel capability parameters, switch the current vehicle's system operating mode to the target operating mode.

[0055] In some optional implementations, determining the forced charging power of the power battery based on the battery charging difference includes: matching the battery charging difference in a first data table with a preset configuration to obtain the forced charging power of the power battery.

[0056] The first data table refers to the data table that contains the mapping relationship between battery charging difference and forced charging power of power battery.

[0057] For example, the first data table is shown in Table 1.

[0058] Table 1

[0059]

[0060] In some optional implementations, determining the corrected discharge power of the power battery based on the battery charging difference and the maximum discharge power of the power battery includes: matching the battery charging difference in a preset configured second data table to obtain power correction parameters; and determining the corrected discharge power of the power battery based on the maximum discharge power of the power battery and the power correction parameters.

[0061] The second data table contains the mapping relationship between battery charging differential and power correction parameters. Power correction parameters are adjustment parameters used to correct battery discharge power.

[0062] For example, the second data table is shown in Table 2. The calculated battery charging difference is matched with the second data table to obtain the corresponding power correction parameter. The power correction parameter is multiplied by the maximum discharge power of the power battery to obtain the corrected discharge power of the power battery.

[0063] Table 2

[0064]

[0065] In some optional implementations, the generator data includes generator speed and maximum generator torque, and the drive motor data includes system input motor speed and maximum drive torque. Correspondingly, the system series-parallel capability parameters are determined based on engine data, generator data, drive motor data, forced charging power of the power battery, and corrected discharge power of the power battery. This includes: determining the system series capability parameters based on engine data, maximum generator torque, generator speed, corrected discharge power of the power battery, forced charging power of the power battery, maximum drive torque of the motor, and system input motor speed; and determining the system parallel capability parameters based on system input motor speed, corrected discharge power of the power battery, maximum drive torque of the motor, and forced charging power of the power battery.

[0066] Specifically, by substituting engine data, generator maximum generating torque, generator speed, power battery corrected discharge power, power battery forced charging power, motor maximum driving torque, and system input motor speed into the system series capability formula, the system series capability parameters are obtained. Similarly, by substituting system input motor speed, power battery corrected discharge power, motor maximum driving torque, and power battery forced charging power into the system parallel capability formula, the system parallel capability parameters are obtained.

[0067] For example, the formula for system series capability is as follows:

[0068] PTCpSE=min(min(EngMaxPwr,GMMaxGenTrq*GMSpd / 9550)+BatDisChrgPwrRevised-BatFrcChrgPwr,TMmaxDrvTrq*TMspd / 9550).

[0069] Wherein, PTCpSE represents the system series capability parameter; EngMaxPwr represents the engine data, which can be the engine's maximum power; GMMaxGenTrq represents the generator's maximum generating torque; GMSpd represents the generator speed; BatDisChrgPwrRevised represents the power battery's corrected discharge power; BatFrcChrgPwr represents the power battery's forced charging power; TMmaxDrvTrq represents the motor's maximum driving torque; and TMspd represents the system's input motor speed.

[0070] The formula for the system's parallel capacity is as follows:

[0071] TMspdEng = TMspd / R1 * R2;

[0072] PTCpPL=TMspdEng*EngMaxTqPL / 9550+min(BatDisChrgPwrRevised,TMmaxDrvTrq*TMspd / 9550)-BatFrcChrgPwr.

[0073] Where R1 is the reduction ratio from the drive motor to the wheel end, R2 is the reduction ratio from the engine to the wheel end, TMspd represents the system input motor speed, and TMspdEng represents the parameters after the drive motor speed is converted to the engine end. Then, the maximum engine torque (EngMaxTqPL) at the current virtual engine speed can be obtained by looking up a table using TMspdEng. The table looked up by TMspdEng is as follows: Figure 4The table shown is a graph of the engine's external characteristics. PTCpPL represents the system's parallel capability parameter; BatDisChrgPwrRevised represents the corrected discharge power of the power battery; TMmaxDrvTrq represents the maximum drive torque capability of the motor; and BatFrcChrgPwr represents the forced charging power of the power battery.

[0074] The technical solution of this invention improves the accuracy of series and parallel connection capability parameters by increasing the forced charging power and the corrected discharge power of the power battery, thereby switching the system working mode to a more reasonable working mode to meet driving needs.

[0075] Example 3

[0076] Figure 5 This is a flowchart of a mode switching method provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. The method of this embodiment can be combined with various optional schemes in the mode switching methods provided in the above embodiments. The mode switching method provided in this embodiment has been further optimized. Optionally, the target operating mode includes a series operating mode and a parallel operating mode; correspondingly, the step of switching the current vehicle's system operating mode to the target operating mode based on the system series capability parameter and the system parallel capability parameter includes: comparing the system series capability parameter and the system parallel capability parameter to obtain a comparison result, wherein the comparison result includes the system series capability being better than the system parallel capability or the system parallel capability being better than the system series capability; if the comparison result is that the system series capability is better than the system parallel capability, then the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to the series operating mode; if the comparison result is that the system parallel capability is better than the system series capability, then the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to the parallel operating mode.

[0077] like Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0078] S310. Obtain the powertrain data of the current vehicle, wherein the powertrain data of the current vehicle includes engine data, generator data, drive motor data and battery data.

[0079] S320. Based on the engine data, the generator data, the drive motor data, and the battery data, determine the system series-parallel capability parameters, wherein the system series-parallel capability parameters include system series capability parameters and system parallel capability parameters.

[0080] S330. Compare the system series capability parameter with the system parallel capability parameter to obtain a comparison result, wherein the comparison result includes the system series capability being better than the system parallel capability or the system parallel capability being better than the system series capability.

[0081] S340. If the comparison result shows that the system's series capability is better than the system's parallel capability, then the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to the series operating mode.

[0082] S350. If the comparison result shows that the parallel capability of the system is better than the series capability of the system, then the system operating mode of the current vehicle is switched to the parallel operating mode.

[0083] For example, if PTCpPL > PTCpSE + Gap1, it indicates that the system's series capability is better than its parallel capability, and the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to series operating mode; if PTCpSE > PTCpPL + Gap1, it indicates that the system's parallel capability is better than its series capability, and the current vehicle's system operating mode is switched to parallel operating mode. Here, Gap1 is a pre-configured adjustment parameter that prevents frequent changes in the system operating mode.

[0084] The technical solution of this invention compares the system series capability parameter with the system parallel capability parameter to obtain a comparison result. The comparison result includes whether the system series capability is better than the system parallel capability or vice versa. If the comparison result is that the system series capability is better than the system parallel capability, the current vehicle system operating mode is switched to the series operating mode. If the comparison result is that the system parallel capability is better than the system series capability, the current vehicle system operating mode is switched to the parallel operating mode. This achieves a reasonable switching of the system operating mode and meets driving needs.
