[0041] Embodiment one

[0042] Figure 1 A flowchart of a control method of a range-extended electric vehicle is provided for the first embodiment of the application. The embodiment can be applied to the case of protecting the engine after the engine reverses. The control method of the range-extended electric vehicle can be executed by a range-extended electric vehicle control device, which can be realized in the form of hardware and / or software, and can be configured in the range-extended electric vehicle. As shown in the figure, the control method of the range-extended electric vehicle comprises: Figure 1

[0043] S110, when the range-extended electric vehicle is in the range-extended working mode, the range-extended controller obtains the engine speed signal from the engine controller, and determines the engine external characteristic torque according to the engine speed information.

[0044] The range-extended electric vehicle refers to a vehicle that automatically starts the range extender to provide power when the battery power consumption reaches the minimum critical limit, so as to achieve a driving range of up to hundreds of kilometers. This can effectively overcome the short driving range of traditional electric vehicles, so that the driver does not have to worry about it. In addition, the battery capacity of the range-extended electric vehicle only needs to be about 40% of that of a pure electric vehicle, which greatly reduces the cost. At the same time, the range-extended electric vehicle has obvious advantages in energy utilization efficiency, price, and convenience of use compared with other new energy vehicles.

[0045] The range-extended electric vehicle has two working modes, namely, a pure electric working mode and a range-extended working mode. When the range-extended electric vehicle is in the pure electric working mode, the power battery has sufficient power, and the vehicle driving energy is provided by the power battery. The power battery provides power to the electric motor, and the electric motor converts the electric energy into mechanical energy to provide power to the wheels to drive the vehicle. At this time, the generator and the engine are not working. When the range-extended electric vehicle is in the range-extended working mode, the power battery has insufficient power, and the generator and the engine are started to generate electricity to drive the vehicle to run.​

[0046] It can be understood that when the extended-range electric vehicle is in the extended-range working mode, the power battery is insufficient in power, and the engine external characteristic torque is determined by considering the engine external characteristic torque limit to prevent the engine from reversing, that is, the engine speed signal is obtained from the engine controller through the extended-range controller, and the engine external characteristic torque is determined according to the engine speed information and the engine external characteristic curve table.

[0047] In S120, the extended-range controller obtains the motor available torque from the motor controller, and determines the target limit torque according to the engine external characteristic torque and the motor available torque.

[0048] The motor available torque is the output torque of the motor, and the output torque of the motor is related to the speed and power of the motor. In this embodiment, the motor available torque can be obtained by testing through a special test device, and then the motor available torque is read through the motor controller. The special test device can be realized by using the prior art, and this embodiment does not make any limitation thereto.

[0049] The target limit torque is the output limit power generation torque determined according to the engine speed and the engine external characteristic torque limit to prevent the engine from reversing after the engine abnormally stops, and the current motor available torque is combined.

[0050] In this embodiment, the smaller one of the engine external characteristic torque and the motor available torque is selected as the target limit torque.

[0051] In S130, the current motor power generation torque is obtained through the extended-range controller, and the motor output torque is determined according to the target limit torque and the current motor power generation torque, so as to control the motor of the extended-range electric vehicle through the motor output torque.

[0052] The current motor power generation torque can be calculated through the extended-range controller, and the motor power generation torque can be calculated by using the existing calculation formula. This embodiment does not make any limitation to the calculation method of the current motor power generation torque.

[0053] After obtaining the current motor power generation torque, the absolute value and the operation symbol of the current motor power generation torque are determined based on the current motor power generation torque.

[0054] Further, the smaller one of the target limit torque and the absolute value of the current motor power generation torque is selected as the sample motor torque, and the motor output torque is obtained by multiplying the sample motor torque by the operation symbol, so as to realize automatic unloading of the motor torque, thereby preventing the motor from reversely driving the engine and avoiding damage to the engine hardware.

[0055] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application, when the extended-range electric vehicle is in the extended-range working mode, the extended-range controller obtains an engine speed signal from an engine controller, and determines an engine external characteristic torque according to the engine speed information; the extended-range controller obtains a motor available torque from a motor controller, and determines a target limiting torque according to the engine external characteristic torque and the motor available torque; the extended-range controller obtains a current motor generation torque, and determines a motor output torque according to the target limiting torque and the current motor generation torque, so as to control the motor of the extended-range electric vehicle by the motor output torque. The application solves the problem that the engine may reverse after abnormal engine shutdown, and further causes damage to the engine hardware, effectively prevents the engine from reversing, protects the engine from damage, and is safe and reliable.

[0056] Embodiment two

As shown in the figure, the extended-range electric vehicle control method comprises: Figure 2

[0058] S210, when the extended-range electric vehicle is in the extended-range working mode, the extended-range controller obtains an engine speed signal from an engine controller, and determines an engine external characteristic torque according to the engine speed information, and executes step S230.

[0059] The engine external characteristic curve table can be calibrated by a one-dimensional torque table.

[0060] S220, the extended-range controller obtains a motor available torque from a motor controller, and executes step S230.

[0061] S230, the smaller one of the engine external characteristic torque and the motor available torque is taken as a target limiting torque, and step S250 is executed.

[0062] S240, the absolute value of the current motor generation torque is extracted from the current motor generation torque, and step S250 is executed.

[0063] S250, the smaller one of the target limiting torque and the absolute value of the current motor generation torque is taken as a sample motor torque, and step S270 is executed.

[0064] S260, the operation symbol of the current motor generation torque is extracted from the current motor generation torque, and step S270 is executed.

[0065] S270, the sample motor torque is multiplied by the operation symbol to obtain a motor output torque.​

[0066] In the embodiment, when the engine speed increases, the current motor generation torque does not exceed the engine limit torque value, when the engine speed gradually decreases, the current motor generation torque is correspondingly reduced due to the external characteristic limitation, and when the engine speed is low, the current motor generation torque is reduced to zero.

[0067] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application can prevent the engine from reversing and avoid damage to the engine hardware when the engine abnormally stops, thereby improving the safety of the extended-range electric vehicle. In addition, the system is protected by the range extender controller RCU, without involving development changes of the controller, which is beneficial to modular development. In addition, the extended-range electric vehicle can predict the possible engine stop condition and timely unload the generation torque, with strong reliability. Meanwhile, the embodiment does not increase any hardware, which can effectively reduce the development cost and save costs.
