Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, specifically to a vehicle control method, device, storage medium, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to pure electric two-wheel drive vehicles, four-wheel drive vehicles use independent motors to drive the front and rear axles respectively. When the driver's required torque is determined, the vehicle can achieve independent front-wheel drive, independent rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive, making the power output more flexible and improving the vehicle's economy, stability, and passability.

[0003] However, to fully leverage the advantages of four-wheel drive vehicles, torque distribution and transfer are crucial. Torque distribution refers to the front and rear motors distributing torque according to a specific ratio (from 0 to 1) to meet the driver's torque demands; the calculation of this ratio must consider the influence of numerous factors. Torque transfer refers to the process of shifting from the current distribution ratio to the target distribution ratio; improper control of the torque transfer rate can significantly impact the overall vehicle performance.

[0004] Most existing technical solutions only focus on the control methods of four-wheel drive torque distribution, and no relevant solutions have yet been found for the problems existing in the torque transfer process. For example, when the total torque demanded by the driver remains constant, the torque transfer rate from the front axle to the rear axle is too fast, and the rear motor is in the commutation phase (the torque change slope is slower), the torque of the front motor has already decreased, while the torque of the rear motor has not made up for it in time. This will cause the torque output of the whole vehicle to decrease first and then increase, affecting the smoothness. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a vehicle control method that limits the target torque distribution ratio by calculating the upper limit and lower limit of the torque transfer rate in real time, thereby obtaining the actual torque distribution ratio and improving vehicle ride comfort.

[0006] On one hand, the present invention provides a vehicle control method, the vehicle control method comprising the following steps: obtaining the driver's required total torque based on accelerator pedal depth, vehicle speed, and driving mode; obtaining a target torque distribution ratio between the front motor and the rear motor based on the required total torque; performing drivability filtering on the front motor and the rear motor respectively to obtain a limit value for the torque change slope corresponding to the front motor and a limit value for the torque change slope corresponding to the rear motor; comparing the magnitudes of the limit values ​​for the torque change slope of the front motor and the rear motor to obtain a minimum value of the limit values; obtaining an upper limit value and a lower limit value of the torque transfer rate based on the minimum value of the limit values ​​and the required total torque; and limiting the target torque distribution ratio based on the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the torque transfer rate to obtain an actual torque distribution ratio.

[0007] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the driver's required total torque based on accelerator pedal depth, vehicle speed, and driving mode includes the following steps:

[0008] The required total torque is obtained based on information such as accelerator pedal depth, vehicle speed, and driving mode.

[0009] The total torque change slope limit is obtained based on the accelerator pedal depth and the total required torque after the previous filtering, with the initial value used during the first start.

[0010] The total required torque is filtered based on the filtering parameters of the total torque change slope limit to obtain the filtered total required torque.

[0011] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the target torque distribution ratio between the front motor and the rear motor based on the total required torque includes the following steps:

[0012] Based on the torque distribution control strategy, the target torque distribution ratio between the front motor and the rear motor is obtained through the filtered total required torque.

[0013] In one embodiment, the step of performing drivability filtering on the front motor and the rear motor respectively to obtain the limit value of the torque change slope corresponding to the front motor and the limit value of the torque change slope corresponding to the rear motor includes the following steps:

[0014] When the motor is in the torque commutation stage, the torque before slope filtering is obtained according to the total required torque and the target torque distribution ratio of the first motor, where the first motor is the front motor and / or the rear motor.

[0015] The torque before slope filtering is limited by the limit value of the previous torque change slope, with the initial value used during the first start-up, in order to obtain the torque after slope filtering.

[0016] The limit value of the torque change slope corresponding to the first motor is obtained based on the accelerator pedal depth, the slope-filtered torque, the motor speed, and the driving mode coefficient.

[0017] When the motor is in the non-torque commutation phase, the filtering parameters for the total torque change slope limit are obtained based on the accelerator pedal depth and the filtered total required torque.

[0018] Based on the filtering parameters of the total torque change slope limit and the target torque distribution ratio between the front motor and the rear motor, the limit values ​​of the torque change slope corresponding to the front motor and the torque change slope corresponding to the rear motor are obtained.

[0019] In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the torque transfer rate based on the minimum value of the limit value and the total required torque includes the following steps:

[0020] The upper limit and lower limit of the torque transfer rate are determined based on the minimum value between the limit value of the torque change slope corresponding to the front motor and the limit value of the torque change slope corresponding to the rear motor.

[0021] In one embodiment, the step of limiting the target torque distribution ratio based on the upper limit and the lower limit of the torque transfer rate to obtain the actual torque distribution ratio includes the following steps:

[0022] The maximum value of the actual torque distribution ratio when it changes upward shall not exceed the upper limit of the torque transfer rate, and the minimum value of the actual torque distribution ratio when it changes downward shall not be lower than the lower limit of the torque transfer rate.

[0023] This invention proposes a vehicle control method, device, storage medium, and vehicle. Using the filtered total torque demand of the driver and the limit values ​​of the torque change slope of the front and rear motors, the torque transfer rate is calculated in real time. The target distribution ratio calculated by the torque distribution strategy is restricted to obtain the actual executable torque distribution ratio, thereby improving the smoothness of the vehicle.

Specifically, the filtering parameters of the total torque change slope limit can be obtained by looking up a table based on the current accelerator pedal depth and the torque of the previously filtered total required torque. The first filtered total required torque can be, but is not limited to, a set initial value.

This smaller value is then divided by the filtered total required torque TqReq. fild Then multiply by 100%, and finally convert the unit to % / s. Additionally, the upper limit of the torque transfer rate is TqTransRate. upper and the lower limit of torque transfer rate TqTransRate lower For opposite signs, the formula is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] TqTransRate lower =-TqTransRate upper

[0052] In other embodiments, step S15: obtaining the upper limit and lower limit of the torque transfer rate based on the minimum limit value and the total required torque includes:

[0053] Stability factors are obtained based on vehicle speed and driving mode;
