Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of starting torque preload control of hybrid electric vehicles and pure electric vehicles, and specifically to a method, system, vehicle and storage medium for controlling starting torque preload of a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional vehicles, extended-range hybrid or pure electric vehicles have a vehicle controller unit (PCU) to coordinate the control of the entire vehicle. The clutch or torque converter of the traditional automatic transmission is eliminated, and the drive motor and wheels are rigidly connected to the wheels through gear sets, splines, and shafts, while the connection between the teeth of the gear sets and the connection between the splines are clearance fits. When the current extended-range hybrid or pure electric vehicle is starting, the drive motor directly responds to the driver's acceleration needs, which will cause collisions between the teeth of the gear sets and splines, causing knocking sounds and vehicle shaking.

[0003] Patent document CN105197006A discloses a hybrid vehicle pure electric drive start control method. When the vehicle starts in pure electric mode, the drive motor is controlled to perform speed closed-loop control, requiring the speed of the drive motor to be maintained at the target speed, and the clutch in the gearbox is controlled to slowly engage, and the drive motor controls the vehicle to start slowly through the gearbox, and the vehicle enters the creeping mode. When the system is in the creeping mode, when the driver steps on the accelerator to accelerate, the drive motor is controlled to exit the speed closed-loop control, and the drive motor is torque controlled. The torque executed by the drive motor is the superposition of the actual torque of the drive motor in the creeping mode and the torque required by the driver. This method can better control the speed and torque of the drive motor to prevent the whole vehicle from shaking, but it is not applicable to extended-range hybrid and pure electric vehicles without clutches.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method, system, vehicle and storage medium for controlling vehicle starting torque preload. Summary of the invention
