Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular, to an energy recovery control method, device, storage medium, and vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Braking energy recovery is one of the important technologies for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. When a vehicle brakes, the vehicle's kinetic energy is converted into heat energy through the braking system, and then converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery, and then further converted into driving energy to drive the vehicle.

[0003] In related technologies, the required braking torque of the vehicle is determined based on the vehicle speed and the brake pedal signal of the brake pedal, resulting in the required braking torque of the vehicle being constant at the same vehicle speed and brake pedal signal. However, when the vehicle load is heavy, braking requires a greater braking torque. At this time, if a fixed required braking torque is still used to brake the vehicle, it will lead to a waste of resources. Summary of the Invention

[0018] determining the first motor braking torque according to the first torque distribution coefficient and the maximum braking torque;

[0019] The rear wheels of the vehicle are braked according to the braking torque of the first motor.

[0020] Optionally, braking the front wheels of the vehicle according to the braking torque of the second motor includes:

[0027] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided an energy recovery control device, comprising:

[0028] processor;

[0047] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0048] It can be understood that the braking torque proposed in the present disclosure, such as the first required braking torque, the second required braking torque, the first motor braking torque, the second motor braking torque, the maximum braking torque, etc., is for braking the vehicle to reduce the speed, so in the vehicle field, the braking torque is usually expressed in the form of a negative number, but in order to reflect the relationship between the various parameters and to facilitate readers' understanding, the braking torque proposed in this application is only a numerical value and does not have the concept of positive and negative numbers.

[0049] For example, the present disclosure proposes the condition that the second required braking torque is greater than the maximum braking torque. In the vehicle field, since the second required braking torque and the maximum braking torque are both negative numbers, this condition is usually manifested as the second required braking torque being less than the maximum braking torque in the vehicle field. In order to facilitate readers' understanding of the condition that the maximum braking torque that can be provided by the vehicle motor cannot meet the second required braking torque required by the vehicle, the present disclosure makes a numerical comparison between the second required braking torque and the maximum braking torque instead of a positive-negative comparison.

[0050] The total feedback power output by the motor is usually expressed as a negative number in the vehicle field, but for the convenience of readers' understanding, the present disclosure does not distinguish between positive and negative total feedback power.

[0051] In order to facilitate readers' understanding, the parameters provided in the drawings are not expressed in positive or negative terms, and the parameters reflected in the drawings only represent a numerical value.

[0052] Among them, the first and second in this disclosure are only examples to facilitate readers to distinguish different features. The two can be interchangeable. For example, the first motor can be replaced by the second motor, and the first torque distribution coefficient can be replaced by the second torque distribution coefficient. There is no restriction on the first and second here.

[0053] In related technologies, a MAP diagram is established between vehicle speed, brake pedal depth and required braking torque. Figure 2 The MAP diagram shown here shows vehicle speed on the horizontal axis and brake pedal depth on the vertical axis. Each curve in the diagram represents the required braking torque for a different vehicle speed and brake pedal depth. Once the vehicle speed and brake pedal depth are determined, the required braking torque is determined based on the MAP. In this case, the required braking torque remains constant at the same vehicle speed and brake pedal depth.

[0054] However, when the vehicle load is heavy, a larger braking torque is required to achieve braking. In order to ensure that the vehicle can be braked in this situation, mechanical braking will be involved in the vehicle, and the excess driving force on the vehicle will be braked by the mechanical brake. On the one hand, mechanical braking will occupy part of the vehicle's resources, resulting in waste of resources. On the other hand, the mechanical energy of the smaller required braking torque is converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery, which will result in low braking energy recovery rate and waste of resources.

[0055] For example, if the vehicle requires 40N of torque when fully loaded, but the required braking torque determined by the MAP diagram is 20N, the remaining 20N of braking torque will be provided by mechanical braking, resulting in a waste of mechanical braking resources; and, the vehicle can recover 40N of braking energy into the battery, but can only recover 20N of braking energy into the battery, which also results in a low braking energy recovery rate and a waste of resources.

[0056] In order to reduce resource waste and improve the efficiency of brake energy recovery, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present disclosure proposes an energy recovery control method, which includes the following steps:

[0057] In step S11 , a second required braking torque for braking the vehicle is obtained according to a correction coefficient and a first required braking torque of the vehicle, wherein the correction coefficient is positively correlated with the current weight of the vehicle.

[0058] Among them, the first required braking torque is the first required braking torque determined by the vehicle's current speed and current pedal depth when the vehicle is in an unloaded state, that is, the required braking torque corresponding to the current vehicle speed and current pedal depth is determined by the MAP diagram; the second required braking torque is the required braking torque obtained after being corrected by the vehicle's current weight on the basis of the first required braking torque.

[0059] For example, according to the correction coefficient and the first required braking torque, the calculation formula for obtaining the second required braking torque is as follows:

[0060] T brake =T demand +k(1)

[0061] In formula (1), T brake is the second required braking torque, T demand is the first required braking torque, and k is the correction coefficient.

[0062] It can be seen from formula (1) that the second required braking torque can be obtained by adding a correction coefficient to the first required braking torque. Since the second required braking torque is positively correlated with the current weight of the vehicle, when the current weight of the vehicle increases, the correction coefficient increases, and the corresponding second required braking torque also increases.

[0063] It can be seen that the first required braking torque is the required braking torque determined when the vehicle is in an unloaded state; the second required braking torque is related to the current weight of the vehicle. As the weight of the vehicle increases, the second required braking torque will also increase. When the second required braking torque increases, the relatively large mechanical energy of the second required braking torque will be converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery, so that the braking energy recovery rate is higher and resource waste is reduced; and, since the second required braking torque increases with the increase of load, when the vehicle load is heavy, the increased second required braking torque can also meet the braking needs of the vehicle, and no more mechanical braking is required, thereby reducing the resource waste caused by mechanical braking.

[0064] In step S12 , the vehicle is braked according to the second required braking torque.

[0065] After determining the second required braking torque, the vehicle needs to brake according to the relationship between the second required torque and the maximum braking torque that can be provided at the current speed of the vehicle.

[0066] Through the above technical solution, the second required braking torque is related to the current weight of the vehicle. As the weight of the vehicle increases, the second required braking torque will also increase. After the second required braking torque increases, the relatively large mechanical energy of the second required braking torque will be converted into electrical energy and stored in the battery, so that the braking energy recovery rate is high and resource waste is reduced; and, since the second required braking torque increases with the increase of load, when the vehicle load is heavy, the increased second required braking torque can also meet the braking demand of the vehicle, and no more mechanical braking is required, thereby reducing the resource waste caused by mechanical braking.

[0067] In a possible implementation, the correction coefficient may be determined based on the difference between the first weight and the second weight of the vehicle, and the driving acceleration of the vehicle.

[0068] Among them, the first weight is the weight of the vehicle under the first required braking torque, that is, the weight of the vehicle in an unloaded state, or the weight of the vehicle in a factory state, or the default weight; the second weight is the weight of the vehicle currently under the second required braking torque, which can also be understood as the current weight of the vehicle.

[0069] For example, the difference between the second required braking torque and the first required braking torque is the correction coefficient. Assume that the relationship between the second required braking torque and the second mass is as shown in the following calculation formula (2), and the relationship between the first required braking torque and the first mass is as shown in the following calculation formula (3):

[0070]

[0071] In formula (2), T brake is the second required braking torque; m is the second mass; f is the rolling resistance coefficient; α is the road slope; C d is the drag coefficient; A is the frontal area; δ is the rotational mass conversion coefficient; is the driving acceleration; v is the vehicle speed; R is the wheel radius.

[0072]

[0073] In formula (3), T demand is the first required braking torque; m1 is the first mass; f is the rolling resistance coefficient; α is the road slope; C d is the drag coefficient; A is the frontal area; δ is the rotational mass conversion coefficient; is the driving acceleration; v is the vehicle speed.

[0074] Then, by subtracting formula 3 from formula (2), the calculation formula for the correction coefficient K is as follows:

[0075]

[0076] In formula (4), m is the second mass; m1 is the first mass; α is the road slope; δ is the rotation mass conversion coefficient; is the driving acceleration; v is the vehicle speed; R is the wheel radius.

[0077] From formula (4), it can be seen that the vehicle's first weight m1g, the vehicle's second weight mg, the rotation mass conversion coefficient δ, and the driving acceleration The road slope α and the rolling resistance coefficient f can be used to obtain the correction coefficient K. It can also be seen from formula (4) that the correction coefficient is positively correlated with the vehicle's current second weight mg and is also positively correlated with the vehicle's weight change difference mg-m1g.

[0078] Through the above technical solution, the first required braking torque under the current vehicle speed and the current brake pedal depth is obtained according to the MAP diagram; then, on the basis of the first required braking torque, the second required braking torque actually required by the vehicle under the current load is determined according to the mass change difference between the first mass and the second mass and parameters such as driving acceleration, so as to reduce the waste of resources caused by braking the vehicle with the smaller first required braking torque.

[0079] In a possible implementation, braking the vehicle according to the maximum braking torque can be divided into the following two situations.

[0080] Case 1: When the second required braking torque is greater than the maximum braking torque at the current vehicle speed, the vehicle is braked using the maximum braking torque and the mechanical braking torque.

[0081] Among them, see Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle has front and rear wheels, a front speed reducer, a rear speed reducer, a first motor, a second motor, an engine, and a power battery. A first processor controls the first motor, which brakes the rear wheels via the rear speed reducer. A second processor controls the second motor, which brakes the front wheels via the front speed reducer. The first motor can be a P4 motor, and the second motor can be a P2 motor.

[0082] Since the braking torque of each motor cannot exceed the motor's external characteristics, the braking torques of the first and second motors need to be limited so that the braking torque of the first motor is limited to the first maximum braking torque and the braking torque of the second motor is limited to the second maximum braking torque. The motor's external characteristics refer to the limit parameters that the motor can provide at the current speed. Exceeding these limit parameters may cause damage to the motor. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4The horizontal axis is the speed of the first motor, and the vertical axis is the first maximum braking torque of the first motor. It can be seen that as the speed of the first motor increases, the first maximum braking torque remains unchanged at first and then gradually decreases. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 6 The horizontal axis is the speed of the second motor, and the vertical axis is the second maximum braking torque of the second motor. It can be seen that as the speed of the second motor increases, the maximum braking torque of the second motor remains unchanged at first, and then gradually decreases. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The relationship between the maximum braking torque of the motor and the motor speed shown in the MAP diagram can limit the braking torque of the first motor to a first maximum braking torque and the braking torque of the second motor to a second maximum braking torque at different motor speeds.

[0083] For example, the first maximum braking torque and the second maximum braking torque can be determined by the following formula (5) and formula (6), respectively:

[0084] T wheelp4 =T maxp4 *Ratio p4 *η p4 (5)

[0085] In formula (5), T wheelp4 is the first maximum braking torque of the first motor; T maxp4 Ratio is the maximum braking torque of the first motor at the current motor speed; p4 is the speed ratio of the rear reducer; η p4 is the transmission efficiency from the first motor to the rear drive axle.

[0086] T maxp4 and the motor speed S of the first motor p4 There is a corresponding relationship between them, which is stored in a relationship table. The relationship table can be presented as Figure 4 The MAP diagram shown in FIG. 1 can be used to determine the current motor speed S of the first motor by looking up the table. p4 Corresponding T maxp4 .

[0087] T wheelp2 =T maxp2 *Ratio p2 *η p2 (6)

[0088] In formula (6), T wheelp2 is the second maximum braking torque of the second motor; T maxp2 Ratio is the maximum braking torque of the second motor at the current motor speed; p2 is the speed ratio of the front reducer; ηp2 is the transmission efficiency from the second motor to the front drive axle.

[0089] T maxp2 and the motor speed S of the first motor p2 There is a corresponding relationship between them, which is stored in a relationship table. The relationship table can be presented as Figure 5 The MAP diagram shown in the figure can be used to determine the current motor speed S of the first motor by looking up the table. p2 Corresponding T maxp2 .

[0090] The sum of the first maximum braking torque and the second maximum braking torque is the maximum braking torque that the vehicle can provide at the current speed, which is calculated using the following formula:

[0091] T wheelp24 =T wheelp2 +T wheelp4 (7)

[0092] In formula (7), T wheelp24 is the maximum braking torque of the vehicle at the current speed; T wheelp4 is the first maximum braking torque of the first motor; T wheelp2 is the second maximum braking torque of the second motor.

[0093] Among them, when the second required braking torque is greater than the maximum braking torque, it indicates that the sum of the maximum braking torques that can be provided by the first motor and the second motor of the vehicle can no longer meet the current braking demand of the vehicle. At this time, medium mechanical braking is required, and the mechanical braking torque and the maximum braking torque are used to jointly brake the vehicle.

[0094] For example, it can be obtained from T wheelp24 and T brake Take the minimum value at T brake Greater than T wheelp24 In the case of the vehicle, the maximum braking torque T that can be provided at the current speed is wheelp24 T p24 .

[0095] Among them, the maximum braking torque T that the vehicle can provide at the current speed is p24 It is known that the maximum braking torque T p24 It is the sum of the first motor braking torque and the second motor braking torque. The first motor braking torque is the braking torque output by the first motor for braking the rear wheels of the vehicle, and the second motor braking torque is the braking torque output by the second motor for braking the front wheels of the vehicle.

[0096] After determining the maximum braking torque, the first motor braking torque and the second motor braking torque can be obtained according to the maximum braking torque. The rear wheels of the vehicle are braked according to the first motor braking torque, and the front wheels of the vehicle are braked according to the second motor braking torque.

[0097] For example, the first motor braking torque may be determined by the following sub-steps:

[0098] In sub-step A1: when the total feedback power output by the first motor and the second motor cannot continue to increase, determine the first torque distribution coefficient, which is the ratio of the first motor braking torque to the maximum braking torque; in sub-step A2: determine the first motor braking torque based on the first torque distribution coefficient and the maximum braking torque; in sub-step A3: brake the rear wheels of the vehicle based on the first motor braking torque.

[0099] In sub-steps A1 to A3, the total feedback power of the first motor and the second motor braking can be obtained by the following formula (8):

[0100] P ower24 =P ower4 +P ower2 =T p4 *S p4 / 9550*λ p4 +T p2 *S p2 / 9550*λ p2 (8)

[0101] In formula (8), P ower24 is the total feedback power; P ower4 is the first feedback power of the first motor braking; T p4 is the first maximum braking torque; S p4 is the current speed of the first motor; p4 is the feedback efficiency of the first motor; P ower2 is the second feedback power for the second motor braking; T p2 is the second maximum braking torque; S p2 is the current speed of the second motor; p2 is the feedback efficiency of the second motor.

[0102] See also Figure 6 Shown with Figure 7 The MAP diagram of the first feedback power and the second feedback power is shown. Figure 6 The horizontal axis is the motor speed of the first motor, and the vertical axis is the braking torque of the first motor. Figure 6 A MAP diagram showing the relationship between the motor speed, braking torque and first feedback power of the first motor is shown; Figure 7 The horizontal axis is the motor speed of the second motor, and the vertical axis is the braking torque of the second motor. Figure 7 A MAP diagram showing the motor speed, braking torque and second regenerative power of the second motor is shown.

[0103] The first maximum braking torque in formula (8) is expressed by the following formula (9):

[0104] T p4 =T p24 *i / Ratio p4 / η p4 (9)

[0105] In formula (9), T p4 is the first maximum braking torque; T p24 is the maximum braking torque at the current vehicle speed; i is the first torque distribution coefficient; Ratio p4 is the speed ratio of the rear reducer; η p4 is the transmission efficiency from the first motor to the rear drive axle.

[0106] The second maximum braking torque in formula (8) is expressed by the following formula (10):

[0107] T p2 =T p24 *(1-i) / Ratio p2 / η p2 (10)

[0108] In formula (10), T p2 is the second maximum braking torque, T p24 is the maximum braking torque at the current vehicle speed; i is the first torque distribution coefficient, 1-i is the second torque distribution coefficient; Ratio p2 is the speed ratio of the front reducer; η p2 is the transmission efficiency from the second motor to the front drive axle.

[0109] Substituting formula (9) and formula (10) into formula (8) yields another expression (11) for the total feedback power:

[0110]

[0111] In formula (11), P ower24 is the total feedback power; T P24 is the maximum braking torque at the current vehicle speed; S p4 is the current speed of the first motor; η p4 is the transmission efficiency from the first motor to the rear axle; p4 is the feedback efficiency of the first motor; S p2is the current speed of the second motor; η p2 is the transmission efficiency from the second motor to the front axle; p2 is the feedback efficiency of the second motor.

[0112] It can be seen from formula (11) that when the total regenerative power cannot be further increased, the first torque distribution coefficient i and the second torque distribution coefficient 1-i can be obtained by using the current maximum total regenerative power.

[0113] After obtaining the first torque distribution coefficient, the first torque distribution coefficient is substituted into formula (9) to obtain the first maximum braking torque; the first motor can use the first maximum braking torque to brake the rear wheels of the vehicle.

[0114] For example, the second motor braking torque may be determined by the following sub-steps:

[0115] In sub-step B1: when the total feedback power output by the first motor and the second motor no longer continues to increase, determine the second torque distribution coefficient, where the second torque distribution coefficient is the ratio of the second motor braking torque to the maximum braking torque; in sub-step B2: determine the second motor braking torque based on the second torque distribution coefficient and the maximum braking torque; in sub-step B3: brake the front wheels of the vehicle based on the second motor braking torque.

[0116] In sub-steps B1 to B3, the second torque distribution coefficient 1-i is substituted into formula (10) to obtain the second maximum braking torque; the second motor can use the second maximum braking torque to brake the front wheels of the vehicle.

[0117] Among them, the sum of the first torque distribution coefficient and the second torque distribution coefficient is less than or equal to 1. When the sum of the two distribution coefficients is equal to 1, the first torque distribution coefficient can be i, and the second torque distribution coefficient is 1-i; when the sum of the two distribution coefficients is less than 1, for example, 0.9, the first torque distribution coefficient can be i, and the second torque distribution coefficient is 0.9-i.

[0118] Total regenerative power is the slip power of the first and second motors' rotors, converted into recyclable electrical energy through rectification, chopping, and inversion, and fed back to the battery. Total regenerative power is proportional to the regenerative braking efficiency. When the total regenerative power of the first and second motors reaches its maximum, their regenerative braking efficiency is also maximized.

[0119] Among them, in order to avoid damage to the first motor and the second motor, the first torque distribution coefficient and the second torque distribution coefficient can only be obtained when the total feedback power no longer increases, and the braking torque of the first motor is less than or equal to the first maximum braking torque, and the braking torque of the second motor is less than or equal to the second maximum braking torque.

[0120] When the braking torque of the first motor is less than or equal to the first maximum braking torque, it is less than or equal to the first maximum braking torque under the motor external characteristics of the first motor; when the braking torque of the second motor is less than or equal to the second maximum braking torque, it is less than or equal to the second maximum braking torque under the motor external characteristics of the second motor.

[0121] Among them, after determining the maximum braking torque T p24 Then, the mechanical braking torque of the mechanical brake can be obtained by the following formula (12):

[0122] T machine =T brake -T p24 =T brake -(T p2 *Ratio p2 *η p2 +T p4 *Ratio p4 *η p4 )(12)

[0123] In formula (12), T brake is the second required braking torque; T machine is the mechanical braking torque, T p4 is the first maximum braking torque; Ratio p4 is the speed ratio of the rear reducer; η p4 is the efficiency from the first motor to the rear drive axle; T p2 is the second maximum braking torque; Ratio p2 is the speed ratio of the front reducer; η p2 Efficiency of the second motor to the front drive axle.

[0124] It can be seen from formula (12) that the maximum braking torque that the vehicle motor can provide is constant, but the change in the total regenerative power will affect the distribution of the first maximum braking torque and the second maximum braking torque. Therefore, when the total regenerative power reaches a maximum, the energy recovery efficiency reaches a maximum, and at this time, the distribution of the first maximum braking torque and the second maximum braking torque is better.

[0125] Case 2: When the second required braking torque is less than the maximum braking torque at the current vehicle speed, the vehicle is braked with the second required braking torque.

[0126] Among them, when the second required braking torque is less than the maximum braking torque, it indicates that the braking torque required by the vehicle is less than the maximum braking torque that the vehicle can provide. At this time, the vehicle can be braked directly with the second required braking torque required by the vehicle.

[0127] For example, it can be obtained from T wheelp24 and T brake Take the minimum value at T brake Less than T wheelp24 In the case of brake T p24 .

[0128] Among them, in case 2, T p24 The calculation formula of T p24 To obtain the first torque distribution coefficient and the second torque distribution coefficient, and to obtain the first maximum braking torque according to the first torque distribution coefficient and the second maximum braking torque according to the second torque distribution coefficient, the schemes can all refer to the scheme in the above case 1 and will not be repeated here.

[0129] Through the above technical solution, when the total feedback power reaches the maximum, the first torque distribution coefficient can be used to allocate the first maximum braking torque to the first motor, and the second torque distribution coefficient can be used to allocate the second maximum braking torque to the second motor, so that more mechanical energy can be fed back to the battery with a larger total feedback power, further improving the energy recovery efficiency.
