The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0076] The terms involved in the present embodiment are explained as follows:

[0077] Total mass: the sum of the mass of the vehicle when unloaded and the mass of the loaded cargo.

[0078] Slope: the slope of the road on which the vehicle travels, divided into uphill and downhill; during the forward movement of the vehicle, the demand power of the vehicle increases when uphill, and the demand power of the vehicle decreases when downhill.

[0080] Clutch solenoid valve: the separation and combination of the driving disc and the driven disc of the clutch are realized by controlling the inlet and exhaust of the cylinder, which is equivalent to the on-off of the cylinder.

[0084] Vehicle control mode: divided into pure electric control mode, engine control mode and hybrid power control mode, among which the vehicle driven by the motor alone is called pure electric control mode, the vehicle driven by the engine alone is called engine control mode, and the vehicle driven by both is called hybrid power control mode.

[0085] Example one

[0086] Because the total mass of the hybrid vehicle and the slope of the road it travels vary greatly, the power and torque required for the vehicle to start under different conditions vary greatly; when the vehicle is heavy, the selection of the starting gear during starting up and down the slope is crucial, if the gear is too large, it is easy to cause insufficient driving torque and starting failure, if the starting gear is too small, it is easy to cause gear shifting during starting, the output shaft speed changes greatly during up and down slope, the speed regulation target changes greatly, and there is a risk of slope gear shifting failure

[0087] To solve the above problems, the embodiment provides a starting control method of a hybrid vehicle, which can be executed by a starting control device of the hybrid vehicle, and can be realized by software and / or hardware and integrated in the vehicle.

[0088] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the method comprises the following steps: Figure 1

[0089] ​S1000: Determine that the vehicle starts in the hybrid mode.

[0090] In this embodiment, the hybrid vehicle specifically adopts P2 configuration, the motor is located between the engine and the gearbox, and a clutch device is arranged between the engine and the motor, the torque distribution of the engine and the motor is realized through the combination and disconnection of the clutch device, the pure electric mode starting and the hybrid mode starting can be realized. When the vehicle starts in the hybrid mode, the motor and the engine will provide torque.

[0091] S1100: Obtain the load of the vehicle and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.

[0092] The load of the vehicle can be detected by a pressure sensor, and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located can be detected by a gyroscope.

[0093] S1200: Determine the first starting gear and the first gear interval based on the load and the slope, and the first starting gear is located in the first gear interval.

[0094] The first relationship diagram of the load, the slope and the first starting gear, and the second relationship diagram of the load, the slope and the first gear interval can be pre-stored in the driving controller, the corresponding first starting gear can be queried from the first relationship diagram and the corresponding first gear interval can be queried from the second relationship diagram by collecting the load and the slope. The first relationship diagram and the second relationship diagram can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance.

[0095] The first gear interval includes at least two gears. Taking the first gear interval including three gears as an example, the three gears are low gear, middle gear and high gear, wherein the first starting gear can be one of the low gear, the middle gear and the high gear, which is related to the load and the slope of the vehicle.

[0096] S1300: Determine the first torque step of the motor based on the load and the slope.

[0097] The third relationship diagram of the load, the slope and the first torque step of the motor can be pre-stored in the driving controller, and the corresponding first torque step of the motor can be queried from the third relationship diagram by collecting the load and the slope. The third relationship diagram can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance.

[0098] S1400: Determine the duty cycle of the solenoid valve of the clutch of the first starting gear based on the load and the slope.

[0099] The solenoid valve of the clutch of the first starting gear is used to control the combination or separation of the clutch of the first starting gear. The fourth relationship diagram of the load, the slope and the duty cycle can be pre-stored in the driving controller, and the corresponding duty cycle can be queried from the fourth relationship diagram by collecting the load and the slope. The fourth relationship diagram can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance.

[0100] S1500: Obtain the accelerator pedal opening of the vehicle, and determine a virtual accelerator signal value based on the accelerator pedal opening.

[0101] The virtual accelerator signal value is used to indicate the driving intention of the driver. A fifth relationship diagram of the accelerator pedal opening and the virtual accelerator signal value can be pre-stored in the driving controller, and the corresponding virtual accelerator signal value can be queried from the fifth relationship diagram according to the collected accelerator pedal opening. The accelerator pedal opening can be obtained by a position sensor arranged on the accelerator pedal, and the fifth relationship diagram can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance.

[0102] S1600: Determine the target speed of the engine and the target torque of the motor based on the load, the slope and the virtual accelerator signal value.

[0103] The target speed of the engine is the speed of the engine before the clutch of the first starting gear is engaged, but the target speed of the engine will decrease due to the load during the engagement of the clutch of the first starting gear. The target torque of the motor is the output torque of the motor after the clutch of the first starting gear is engaged. A sixth relationship diagram of the load, the slope, the virtual accelerator signal value and the target speed of the engine, and a seventh relationship diagram of the load, the slope, the virtual accelerator signal value and the target torque of the motor can be pre-stored in the driving controller, and the corresponding target speed of the engine can be queried from the sixth relationship diagram according to the collected load, slope and virtual accelerator signal value. The corresponding target torque of the motor can be queried from the seventh relationship diagram according to the collected load, slope and virtual accelerator signal value. The sixth relationship diagram and the seventh relationship diagram can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance.

[0104] S1700: The engine rotates at the target speed.

[0105] S1800: The vehicle starts with the first starting gear.

[0106] The step of making the vehicle start with the first starting gear includes the following steps:

[0107] The clutch of the first starting gear is engaged to the slip point.

[0108] The solenoid is operated at a duty ratio to make the clutch of the first starting gear continue to engage to the full engagement point, and at the same time, the torque of the motor is increased by the first torque step per unit time.

[0109] During the process of engaging the clutch of the first starting gear to the slip point, the driving disc and the driven disc of the clutch have not yet contacted, and the clutch of the first starting gear can be engaged at the fastest speed to reduce the gear selection time.

[0110] The starting control method of the hybrid vehicle provided by the embodiment is used for determining the starting of the vehicle in the hybrid mode, obtaining the load of the vehicle and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located, sequentially determining the first starting gear, the first gear interval, the first torque step of the motor, the duty cycle of the electromagnetic valve of the clutch of the first starting gear and the virtual throttle signal value based on the load and the slope, and determining the target speed of the engine and the target torque of the motor based on the load, the slope and the virtual throttle signal value, and then rotating the engine at the target speed to make the clutch of the first starting gear combine to the sliding friction point; and making the electromagnetic valve work at the duty cycle to make the clutch of the first starting gear continue to combine to the fully combined point, and simultaneously making the torque of the motor increase by the first torque step per unit time. In this way, the first starting gear for starting is adapted to the load of the vehicle and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located, the starting gear selection is reliable, and the problems in the prior art, such as the selected gear being too large, the driving torque being insufficient, the starting failing, the selected starting gear being too small, the gear being shifted during starting, the output shaft speed changing greatly during uphill and downhill processes, the speed regulation target changing greatly, and the risk of slope gear shifting failing, can be effectively solved.

[0111] Optionally, referring to Figure 2 , the starting control method of the hybrid vehicle further comprises the following steps.

[0112] S1900: obtaining the real-time speed of the engine.

[0113] The real-time speed of the engine can be obtained by a speed sensor.

[0114] S2000: determining whether the difference between the real-time speed and the target speed is less than a preset difference value.

[0115] The preset difference value can be set according to actual needs.

[0116] If yes, S2100 is performed; if no, S2700 is performed.

[0117] S2100: the engine has no risk of being stalled.

[0118] When the difference between the real-time speed and the target speed is less than the preset difference value, it is indicated that the speed reduction of the engine is normal, which is within the influence range of the load on the engine speed during the normal starting of the vehicle, and means that the engine has no risk of being stalled.

[0119] S2200: obtaining the actual speed of the vehicle.

[0120] The actual speed of the vehicle can be detected by a speed sensor.

[0121] S2300: Determine whether the actual vehicle speed is less than the first preset vehicle speed.

[0122] The first preset vehicle speed can be set according to actual needs.

[0123] If not, execute S2400; if yes, execute S2500.

[0124] S2400: The vehicle starts successfully.

[0125] When the actual vehicle speed is not less than the first preset vehicle speed, it indicates that the vehicle speed has been raised to a range in which the vehicle can travel normally, indicating that the vehicle has started successfully at this time. When the actual vehicle speed is less than the first preset vehicle speed, it indicates that the vehicle speed is too low, indicating that the vehicle has not started successfully at this time, which may be due to the first starting gear being too high, and the starting gear needs to be lowered.

[0126] S2500: Determine whether there is a first backup gear lower than the first starting gear in the first gear interval.

[0127] If yes, execute S2600; if no, end.

[0128] When there is a first backup gear lower than the first starting gear in the first gear interval, it indicates that the vehicle can continue to start with a lower gear at this time. If not, it indicates that the vehicle cannot start normally at this time, which may be due to excessive load and / or excessive slope.

[0129] S2600: Take the first backup gear as a new first starting gear, and re-execute S1800.

[0130] S2700: The engine is at risk of stalling, and the number of times the engine is at risk of stalling is accumulated.

[0131] S2800: The clutch of the first starting gear is quickly separated.

[0132] The quick separation of the clutch can be controlled by a quick separation solenoid.

[0133] S2900: Determine whether the number of times the engine is at risk of stalling exceeds a set number of times.

[0134] If not, execute S3000; if yes, end.

[0135] It can be understood that the vehicle cannot start with a lower gear indefinitely, which poses a certain safety hazard, and therefore the number of times the engine is at risk of stalling can be used for restraint. Illustratively, the set number of times can be set to 2. In other embodiments, it can also be set according to needs.

[0136] S3000: Reduce the duty cycle of the solenoid valve of the clutch of the first launch gear by a set value based on the existing value, increase the virtual throttle signal value by a set multiple based on the existing value, and increase the first torque step by a set value based on the existing value, and re-execute S1600.

[0137] As shown in Figure 3 , the method for determining that the vehicle starts in the hybrid mode in S1000 is:

[0138] S100: Obtain the driving intention of the driver, the SOC parameter of the battery, and the demand torque of the vehicle start.

[0139] When the driving intention of the driver is the power mode, or the SOC parameter of the battery is less than the set electric quantity, or the demand torque of the vehicle start is greater than the set torque, execute S1000.

[0140] When the driving intention of the driver is the economy mode, the SOC parameter of the battery is not less than the set electric quantity, and the demand torque of the vehicle start is not greater than the set torque, execute S200.

[0141] Wherein, the driving intention of the driver includes economy mode start and power mode start. The vehicle is provided with a switching button for economy mode start and power mode start, and the driving intention of the driver can be obtained through the position of the switching button. The economy mode start corresponds to the pure electric mode, and the power mode start corresponds to the hybrid mode. The SOC parameter of the battery can be obtained by interacting with the battery controller of the vehicle, and the demand torque of the vehicle start can be queried through the load of the vehicle, the slope and the map of the demand torque. The map can be obtained through a large number of experiments in advance. The set electric quantity and the set torque can be set as needed.

[0142] S200: Determine that the vehicle starts in the pure electric mode.

[0143] Optionally, please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the start control method of the hybrid vehicle further comprises the following steps after S200:

[0144] S201: Obtain the load of the vehicle and the slope of the road where the vehicle is located.
