Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The current electric vehicle driving torque control method mainly obtains the throttle pedal characteristic (Pedal Map) required torque through the accelerator pedal opening degree and real-time vehicle speed. When the vehicle body electronic stability system (Electronic Stability Program, ESP) does not intervene, the driving torque of the vehicle is the Pedal Map required torque. If the vehicle encounters snow, sand, mud and other non-paved roads during driving, the ESP will intervene in real time to limit the driving wheel from slipping, but it will also limit the vehicle's escape ability. At this time, if the ESP is directly manually turned off, the vehicle's escape ability is enhanced, but it is highly dependent on the driving skills of the driver. Therefore, the method of controlling torque by Pedal Map required torque and ESP alone is difficult for the vehicle to escape when it is on actual snow, mud and sand roads. SUMMARY

[0051] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0052] This invention addresses the problem that existing torque control methods face significant difficulties in all-terrain escape modes, by providing a torque control method, device, and vehicle.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a torque control method, including:

[0054] Step 101: Obtain the vehicle's driving mode indication information.

[0055] In this step, the vehicle driving mode indication information is used to determine whether the vehicle is in all-terrain traction mode.

[0056] It should be noted that the torque control method provided in this embodiment of the invention is applicable to all pure electric vehicles, including but not limited to pure electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, series hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles.

[0057] Step 102: When the driving mode indication information indicates that the vehicle is in all-terrain traction mode, determine the driving torque of the vehicle based on the adaptive torque and the Pedal Map required torque;

[0058] Alternatively, if the driving mode indication information indicates that the vehicle is not in all-terrain traction mode, the driving torque of the vehicle is determined based on the torque demanded by the Pedal Map and the torque reduction request by the Electronic Stability Program (ESP).

[0059] In this step, the driving mode indicator information indicates whether the vehicle is in all-terrain traction mode. Then, different torque determination methods are used to determine the vehicle's driving torque. Compared with the existing method of torque control based solely on Pedal Map torque demand and ESP, this step can reduce the difficulty of getting out of trouble in all-terrain traction modes on snow, mud, and sand.

[0060] Optionally, if the driving mode indication information indicates that the vehicle is in all-terrain traction mode, that is, if it is determined that the vehicle's driving mode is in all-terrain traction mode, then the smaller value between the adaptive torque and the Pedal Map required torque is used as the vehicle's driving torque (that is, the vehicle's required torque).

[0061] Optionally, in the case that the driving mode indication information indicates that the vehicle is not in the all-terrain escape mode, that is, it is determined that the driving mode of the vehicle is not in the all-terrain escape mode, the smaller one of the Pedal Map demand torque and the ESP torque reduction request torque is taken as the driving torque of the vehicle (that is, the demand torque of the vehicle).

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, in the case that the current vehicle speed (which can also be called the real vehicle speed) of the vehicle is greater than a preset safety vehicle speed v safe , the vehicle automatically exits the all-terrain escape mode to ensure the safety of the vehicle, that is, the driving mode indication information indicates that the vehicle exits the all-terrain escape mode.

[0063] The safety vehicle speed v safe is a certain scalar.

[0064] In the embodiment of the application, the safety vehicle speed is set, and when the vehicle speed is greater than the safety vehicle speed, the all-terrain escape mode is automatically exited, at this time the vehicle can still respond to the ESP torque reduction request torque, so that the safety of the vehicle can be ensured.

[0065] The following specifically describes the calculation method of the adaptive torque provided by the embodiment of the application:

[0066] First, the current vehicle speed v Ref of the vehicle is determined according to the vehicle speed-target driving wheel speed corresponding curve, and the corresponding target driving wheel speed v Tar is determined, specifically, the real vehicle speed signal of the vehicle is collected in real time, and the target driving wheel speed corresponding to the real vehicle speed (current vehicle speed) of the vehicle is obtained by querying the vehicle speed-target driving wheel speed corresponding curve.

[0067] The vehicle speed-target driving wheel speed corresponding curve is as shown in Figure 2 It should be noted that the corresponding relationship between the vehicle speed and the target driving wheel speed is not limited to as shown in Figure 2 , and the corresponding relationship between the vehicle speed and the target driving wheel speed can also be obtained by general real vehicle calibration, and at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the target driving wheel speed of the vehicle is greater than the current vehicle speed of the vehicle.

[0068] In the case that the vehicle is a two-wheel drive vehicle, the current vehicle speed of the vehicle is determined according to the driven wheel speed, specifically, for a two-wheel drive vehicle, the real vehicle speed of the vehicle is approximately equal to the driven wheel speed.

[0069] In the case that the vehicle is a four-wheel drive vehicle, the current vehicle speed of the vehicle is determined according to a preset vehicle speed determination method and a sensor related to the vehicle speed, that is, for a four-wheel drive vehicle, the real vehicle speed of the vehicle needs to be obtained by a related logical algorithm.

[0070] Then, according to the target drive wheel speed and the actual drive wheel speed of the vehicle, a speed deviation is determined, that is, a difference between the target drive wheel speed and the actual drive wheel speed of the vehicle is taken as the speed deviation.

[0071] Then, according to the speed deviation and PID (Propotional, Integral, Differential) control parameters, the adaptive torque is obtained, specifically, the speed deviation is taken as a control target, and the adaptive torque is adjusted and output through PID control (PID control parameters), wherein the PID control is variable parameter PID control, that is, the PID control parameters are determined according to the speed deviation and the current speed of the vehicle.

[0072] Further, the PID control parameters can also be corrected through the actual speed of the vehicle (the current speed of the vehicle) and the speed deviation, and every first preset time interval, it is judged whether the current speed of the vehicle changes, and in the case that the current speed of the vehicle changes, the PID control parameters are updated according to the changed current speed of the vehicle and the corresponding speed deviation.

[0073] The final PID control parameters are finally determined through real vehicle calibration, which can ensure that the vehicle escape performance and driving performance on non-paved roads such as snow, mud and sand reach the optimum.

[0074] The torque control method provided by the embodiment of the application will be specifically described below in combination with Figure 3

[0075] It is judged whether the vehicle is in the all-terrain escape mode, in the case that the vehicle is in the all-terrain escape mode, the actual speed of the vehicle is obtained, the target drive wheel speed is obtained through a target drive wheel speed obtaining module according to the actual speed of the vehicle, the speed deviation is obtained according to the target drive wheel speed and the actual drive wheel speed of the vehicle, the adaptive torque is obtained through a PID control module by using the PID control parameters and the speed deviation, and the smaller value (Min) between the adaptive torque and the Pedal Map demand torque is taken as the demand torque of the vehicle, in the case that the vehicle is not in the all-terrain escape mode, the smaller value (Min) between the adaptive torque and the ESP reduction torque is taken as the demand torque of the vehicle.

[0076] In the specific operation, if the vehicle is trapped in snow, mud or sand, at this time, the driver can switch the driving mode to the all-terrain escape mode, and then only needs to press the accelerator pedal deeply, and the drive torque of the vehicle can be adaptively adjusted according to the dynamic parameters of the vehicle, so that the escape ability of the vehicle reaches the optimum, and the escape probability of the vehicle can be greatly improved.

[0077] ​The torque control method provided by the embodiment of the present application increases the all-terrain escape mode, and when the driver drives the vehicle on the non-paved road such as snow, mud and sand, the escape performance of the vehicle can be improved by only deep pressing the accelerator pedal, without considering how to drive at the limit of the driver; when the real vehicle speed is high, the vehicle can automatically exit the all-terrain escape mode, to ensure the safety of the vehicle. Therefore, in the all-terrain escape mode, the limit escape capability and safety of the vehicle can be considered, and the operation difficulty of the driver is greatly reduced.
