[0044] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related application, and not to limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings.

[0045] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0046] As mentioned in the background, in order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a GPF in-place regeneration method of a range extended vehicle, which can be executed by a GPF in-place regeneration device of a range extended vehicle, and the GPF in-place regeneration device of the range extended vehicle can be integrated in an electronic device such as a domain controller or a vehicle control unit (VCU) of the vehicle. Figure 1 is a flowchart of a GPF in-place regeneration method of a range extended vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , the GPF in-place regeneration method of the range extended vehicle specifically includes:

[0047] S110, when it is detected that the target vehicle is in a waiting-to-stop driving state, determining the environmental safety information of the target vehicle, wherein the environmental safety information includes the risk level of external flammable materials in the driving route of the target vehicle, whether the target vehicle is located in a risk area, and whether there is other risk transport vehicle.

[0048] The to-be-parked traveling state can refer to a state in which the vehicle is traveling and has a parking intention. For example, the VCU can determine that the target vehicle is in the to-be-parked traveling state when it is detected that the current speed of the target vehicle is less than a preset low-speed threshold. Alternatively, the VCU can determine that the target vehicle is in the to-be-parked traveling state when it is detected that the target vehicle is in reverse gear and is in the process of parking. For example, the preset low-speed threshold can be 10 km / h.

[0049] Specifically, when it is detected that the target vehicle is in the to-be-parked traveling state, it can be determined that the target vehicle has a parking intention, and at this time, the environmental safety information of the target vehicle can be determined. The environmental safety information can include the risk level of external flammable objects in the traveling path of the target vehicle, whether the target vehicle is located in a risk area, and whether there is another risk transport vehicle.

[0050] It should be noted that the purpose of determining the environmental safety information of the target vehicle is to avoid high-temperature ignition of surrounding objects during GPF regeneration, because the internal temperature of the carrier can reach about 1000°C during GPF regeneration, and high-temperature ignition of surrounding objects can cause a fire. Therefore, in order to avoid high-temperature ignition of surrounding objects during GPF regeneration, the environmental safety information can be obtained to determine whether the target vehicle is in a safe environment, thereby ensuring the safety of GPF regeneration.

[0051] In this embodiment, when it is detected that the target vehicle is in the to-be-parked traveling state, the VCU can start the 360° camera in the target vehicle, obtain video acquisition information of the target vehicle in the traveling path through the camera, and then determine the external flammable objects and the risk level of the external flammable objects through the video acquisition information. The external flammable objects can be flammable objects located around the target vehicle (e.g., a 1-meter area centered on the target vehicle) in the traveling path of the target vehicle, such as gasoline barrels, electrical appliances, alcohol, etc. The risk level can be used to describe the probability of high-temperature ignition of the external flammable objects. The higher the risk level, the greater the probability of high-temperature ignition of the external flammable objects, that is, the external flammable objects are more likely to be ignited during GPF regeneration of the target vehicle.

[0052] In addition, the current location of the target vehicle can be determined by positioning the target vehicle, and the marker positions of the risk areas can be determined according to the map information, and then it can be determined whether the target vehicle is located in a risk area based on the current location and the marker positions of the risk areas. The risk area can be a flammable and explosive area, such as a gas station, a hydrogen filling station, a charging station, etc.

[0053] And, the front camera and the driving recorder of the target vehicle can be used to identify other parked vehicles around the target vehicle during the travel of the target vehicle, to determine whether there are other risk transport vehicles. The risk transport vehicle can be a dangerous transport vehicle, such as a vehicle transporting flammable and explosive objects such as petroleum chemicals, compressed gas, organic peroxide, etc.

[0054] Specifically, after obtaining the risk level of the external flammable object during the travel of the target vehicle, and determining whether the target vehicle is located in the risk area and whether there are other risk transport vehicles, the environmental safety information can be constructed and written into the preset storage space in the target vehicle, so as to call the environmental safety information from the preset storage space for judgment when the target vehicle has a GPF parked regeneration demand. And, after detecting that the target vehicle is started again, the environmental safety information can be erased in the preset storage space, so as to re-identify the environmental safety information when the target vehicle is detected to be in the parked travel state next time.

[0055] S120, after the target vehicle is in the parked state, if it is detected that the target vehicle has a GPF parked regeneration demand, the environmental safety information is used to determine whether the target vehicle meets the safe environmental regeneration condition.

[0056] Specifically, the VCU can detect whether the target vehicle is switched from the parked travel state to the parked state after obtaining the environmental safety information, and if so, further detect whether the target vehicle has a GPF parked regeneration demand, i.e., whether the target vehicle has a demand for performing GPF regeneration in the parked state.

[0057] For example, the EMS (Engine Management System) can determine whether the target vehicle has a GPF parked regeneration demand according to the carbon load in the GPF, such as if it is determined that the carbon load exceeds a set amount, it can be determined that there is a GPF parked regeneration demand. Then, the EMS can send information to the VCU to inform the VCU that there is a GPF parked regeneration demand.

[0058] Further, the VCU can read the environmental safety information from the preset storage space in the target vehicle, and determine whether the safe environmental regeneration condition is met according to the environmental safety information. The safe environmental regeneration condition can be a condition that the vehicle can safely perform GPF parked regeneration.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, determining whether the target vehicle meets the safe environmental regeneration condition based on the environmental safety information includes: if the risk level of the external flammable object is lower than a preset level, the target vehicle is not located in the risk area, and there is no other risk transport vehicle, it is determined that the target vehicle meets the safe environmental regeneration condition.

[0060] That is, the safety environment regeneration condition can be that the risk level of the external flammable material is lower than a preset level, the target vehicle is not located in a risk area, and there is no other risk transport vehicle. In this embodiment, when the safety environment regeneration condition is met, the VCU can further control the range extender to enter the GPF parking regeneration working condition, that is, to perform GPF parking regeneration.

[0061] Of course, if the risk level of the external flammable material is not lower than the preset level, or the target vehicle is located in a risk area, or there is another risk transport vehicle, it can be determined that the target vehicle does not meet the safety environment regeneration condition, at this time, a warning prompt information can be generated and sent to the multimedia device for display to prompt that GPF parking regeneration is prohibited at this time.

[0062] Through the above-mentioned embodiments, accurate judgment of the safety environment regeneration condition can be realized, so that the GPF parking regeneration working condition is started when the risk level of the external flammable material is low, the vehicle is not in a risk area, and there is no other risk transport vehicle around, thereby ensuring the safety of GPF parking regeneration.

[0063] It should be noted that the above-mentioned judgment of whether the safety environment regeneration condition is met based on the environment safety information can not only be applied to the GPF parking regeneration scene, but also be applied to other scenes, which are not limited by the present embodiment. For example, after detecting that the target vehicle is in a parking state, it can be judged whether the safety environment regeneration condition is met, and if not, a flammable risk prompt information is generated to prompt the user to stop smoking or change the parking location.

[0064] S130, in the case where the safety environment regeneration condition is met, controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parking regeneration working condition, and adjusting the GPF parking regeneration working condition according to the real-time temperature of the GPF during the working of the range extender.

[0065] Specifically, the VCU can control the range extender to enter the GPF parking regeneration working condition in the case where the safety environment regeneration condition is met. The GPF parking regeneration working condition can be that the range extender works at a preset power point (such as 20kW) to realize GPF regeneration.

[0066] In a specific embodiment, before controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parking regeneration condition, it also includes: obtaining the initial power of the target vehicle and determining whether the initial power is lower than a preset charge threshold; if so, obtaining the current ambient temperature of the target vehicle and the current water temperature of the range extender; when the current water temperature is equal to the current ambient temperature, determining that the target vehicle is in a cold engine state; when the current water temperature is greater than the current ambient temperature and less than a preset hot engine temperature, determining that the target vehicle is in an incomplete hot engine state; when the current water temperature is greater than the preset hot engine temperature, determining that the target vehicle is in a hot engine state; when the target vehicle is in a cold engine state or an incomplete hot engine state, controlling the catalyst of the target vehicle to enter a heating condition, and controlling the range extender to enter a hot engine condition, until the current water temperature reaches the set temperature.

[0067] The initial charge level may be the battery charge level before the GPF enters the parking regeneration mode. The preset charge level threshold may be a preset critical value of charge allowed for charging of the vehicle, such as 80%.

[0068] If the initial charge level is not less than the preset charge level threshold, it indicates that the target vehicle's battery level is sufficient and does not require charging, and there is no need to control the range extender to enter the GPF parking regeneration mode. If the initial charge level is less than the preset charge level threshold, it indicates that the target vehicle can be charged at this time, and further, it can be determined whether the range extender needs to be warmed up before entering the GPF parking regeneration mode.

[0069] Specifically, the current ambient temperature of the target vehicle and the current water temperature of the range extender can be obtained. If the current water temperature is equal to the current ambient temperature, the target vehicle is in a cold state. If the current water temperature is greater than the current ambient temperature and less than a preset warm-up temperature, the target vehicle is not fully warmed up. If the current temperature is greater than the preset warm-up temperature, the target vehicle is in a warm-up state. The preset warm-up temperature can be a preset critical temperature for determining that the vehicle is in a warm-up state, such as 70°C.

[0070] When the target vehicle is in a cold state or an incompletely heated state, the catalyst of the target vehicle can be controlled to enter a heating state first, and then the range extender can be controlled to enter a heating state until the current water temperature of the range extender reaches a set temperature, for example, 85°C.

[0071] In the above embodiment, before controlling the range extender to enter the GPF parking regeneration state, it is first determined whether the vehicle's power allows charging, and then whether the vehicle is in a warm-up state. If the vehicle is not in a warm-up state, the vehicle is first controlled to warm up, thereby avoiding the situation where the range extender is damaged due to excessive temperature rise caused by performing GPF parking regeneration in a non-warm-up state.

[0072] In the embodiment, the VCU can also acquire the real-time temperature of the GPF, i.e., the internal temperature of the GPF, during the process in which the range extender works to realize the GPF parking regeneration, and then adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition in real time through the real-time temperature of the GPF, i.e., adjust the power point of the range extender. For example, the power point of the range extender can be lowered when the real-time temperature of the GPF is high, so as to lower the real-time temperature of the GPF, and the power point of the range extender can be raised when the real-time temperature of the GPF is low, so as to raise the real-time temperature of the GPF.

[0073] In a specific implementation, during the process in which the range extender works, the GPF parking regeneration working condition is adjusted according to the real-time temperature of the GPF, including: acquiring the real-time temperature of the GPF of the target vehicle, if the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than a preset first upper limit temperature and less than a preset second upper limit temperature, and the duration exceeds a preset time length, and the real-time temperature of the GPF presents a continuous rising trend, the power point of the range extender is lowered to a preset first compensation value, so as to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition; and if the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than the preset second upper limit temperature, the power point of the range extender is lowered to a preset second compensation value, so as to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition.

[0074] Wherein, the preset first upper limit temperature is less than the preset second upper limit temperature, and the preset first compensation value is greater than the preset second compensation value. For example, the preset first upper limit temperature can be 620℃, the preset second upper limit temperature can be 720℃, the preset first compensation value can be 19kW, and the preset second compensation value can be 17kW.

[0075] That is, when the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than the preset first upper limit temperature and less than the preset second upper limit temperature, and the duration exceeds the preset time length, and the real-time temperature of the GPF presents a continuous rising trend, the power point of the range extender can be lowered to the preset first compensation value. And when the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than the preset second upper limit temperature, the power point of the range extender can be lowered to the preset second compensation value.

[0076] In this way, when the real-time temperature of the GPF is high, the power point of the range extender can be lowered to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition to a regeneration working condition with lower load, so as to lower the temperature during GPF regeneration, control the GPF parking regeneration temperature within a reasonable range, and avoid the situation that the regeneration stops or fails due to excessively high temperature.

[0077] In another specific embodiment, during the operation of the range extender, the GPF parking regeneration working condition is adjusted according to the real-time temperature of the GPF, and further comprises: if the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than a preset first lower limit temperature and greater than a preset second lower limit temperature, and the duration exceeds a preset time length, and the real-time temperature of the GPF shows a continuous decreasing trend, the power point of the range extender is increased to a preset third compensation value to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition; and if the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than the preset second lower limit temperature, the power point of the range extender is increased to a preset fourth compensation value to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition.

[0078] wherein the preset first lower limit temperature is greater than the preset second lower limit temperature, and the preset third compensation value is less than the preset fourth compensation value. For example, the preset first lower limit temperature can be 400℃, the preset second lower limit temperature can be 300℃, the preset third compensation value can be 21kW, and the preset fourth compensation value can be 23kW.

[0079] That is, when the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than the preset first lower limit temperature and greater than the preset second lower limit temperature, and the duration exceeds the preset time length, and the real-time temperature of the GPF shows a continuous decreasing trend, the power point of the range extender can be increased to the preset third compensation value. And when the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than the preset second lower limit temperature, the power point of the range extender can be increased to the preset fourth compensation value.

[0080] In this way, when the real-time temperature of the GPF is low, the power point of the range extender can be increased to adjust the GPF parking regeneration working condition to a higher load regeneration working condition, so as to increase the temperature during GPF regeneration, control the GPF parking regeneration temperature within a reasonable range, and avoid the situation that the temperature is too low to stop or fail the regeneration.

[0081] It should be noted that the method provided in the present embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned control method of the power point of the range extender. In addition to the preset first upper limit temperature, the preset second upper limit temperature, the preset first lower limit temperature, and the preset second lower limit temperature, more upper limit or lower limit temperatures can be set to improve the adjustment accuracy of the power point of the range extender. For example, as shown in the following table, an optional power point of GPF parking regeneration is shown.

[0082] Table 1 Optional power point of GPF parking regeneration

[0083]

[0084] For example, referring to Table 1, the power point of the range extender when entering the GPF parking regeneration working condition can be 20 kW. When the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than 620°C and less than 720°C, and the duration reaches 60 s, and the temperature continues to rise, the compensation value 1 is selected, and the power point of the range extender is adjusted to the compensation value 1. When the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than 700°C and less than 720°C, and the duration reaches 60 s, the compensation value 2 is selected. When the real-time temperature of the GPF is greater than 720°C, the compensation value 3 is selected.

[0085] If the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than 400°C and greater than 300°C, and the duration is 60 s, and the temperature continues to decrease, the compensation value 1 is selected. If the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than 320°C and greater than 300°C, and the duration is 60 s, the compensation value 2 is selected. If the real-time temperature of the GPF is less than 300°C, the compensation value 3 is selected.

[0086] It should be noted that after adjusting the GPF parking regeneration working condition, the VCU can continue to detect the real-time temperature of the GPF to realize real-time adjustment of the GPF parking regeneration working condition according to the temperature. The above adjustment of the GPF parking regeneration working condition can be realized by sending an instruction from the VCU to the GCU (Generator Control Unit, engine controller) to instruct the GCU to adjust.

[0087] In this embodiment, considering that the temperature of the range extender is high after the GPF regeneration is completed, and the temperature inside the GPF is also high, if the engine is stopped immediately at this time, the temperature of each component is still high, and the range extender and the GPF have a certain risk of damage. Therefore, in order to avoid the damage risk of directly stopping the engine to the components, the embodiment can also perform a cooling process after the GPF regeneration is completed.

[0088] Optionally, after controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parking regeneration working condition, the method further comprises: when it is detected that the GPF parking regeneration working condition is completed, controlling the range extender to operate with each preset cooling power and a running time corresponding to each preset cooling power in sequence, and shutting down the range extender after each preset cooling power is operated.

[0089] The size relationship between each preset cooling power can be a gradient relationship, that is, each preset cooling power gradually decreases. For example, the preset cooling power includes 10 kW, 5 kW, and 3 kW.

[0090] Specifically, when the GPF parking regeneration working condition is completed, the range extender can be controlled to operate at each preset cooling power, and the running time of each preset cooling power can be 60 s. When the engine controller detects that the current water temperature of the range extender is less than a certain value (such as 300°C), the cooling process can be stopped, and the engine can be stopped.

[0091] As shown in the embodiment, the GPF cooling process is shown in Fig. 2. The GPF cooling process includes three preset cooling powers, and the preset cooling power 1> preset cooling power 2> preset cooling power 3. After running all the preset cooling powers, it can be determined whether the current water temperature of the range extender is less than 300℃. If yes, the range extender is stopped. Through the above embodiment, the risk of damage to the GPF carrier caused by direct shutdown of the GPF after the completion of the parked regeneration is avoided. Figure 2 Figure 2 In the embodiment, the power generation can also be detected during the GPF parked regeneration process to avoid overcharging of the power.

[0092] In a specific embodiment, before controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parked regeneration working condition, the method further includes: determining the predicted power generation of the GPF parked regeneration working condition based on the power point of the range extender in the GPF parked regeneration working condition, and if the sum of the predicted power generation and the initial power of the target vehicle exceeds the set power, starting the stationary regeneration protection mode.

[0093] Correspondingly, after controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parked regeneration working condition, the method further includes: obtaining the current total power generation of the GPF parked regeneration working condition based on the stationary regeneration protection mode, and when the sum of the current total power generation and the initial power reaches a preset value, controlling the range extender to exit the GPF parked regeneration working condition and enter the idle power generation mode, or adjusting the range extender to the regeneration power supply state.

[0094] Specifically, before entering the GPF parked regeneration working condition, the predicted power generation can be estimated according to the power point of the range extender. If the sum of the predicted power generation and the initial power exceeds the set power, it indicates that the target vehicle has the risk of overcharging. At this time, the stationary regeneration protection mode can be performed. The set power can be the full power of the target vehicle, such as 100%, or the difference between the full power and the safe reserved power, such as 97%.

[0095] Specifically, the stationary regeneration protection mode is used to detect the power generation in real time after the vehicle enters the GPF parked regeneration working condition. In the embodiment, if the stationary regeneration protection mode is started, the current total power generation of the GPF parked regeneration working condition is obtained in real time after the range extender enters the GPF parked regeneration working condition.

[0096] Specifically, the stationary regeneration protection mode is used to detect the power generation in real time after the vehicle enters the GPF parked regeneration working condition. In the embodiment, if the stationary regeneration protection mode is started, the current total power generation of the GPF parked regeneration working condition is obtained in real time after the range extender enters the GPF parked regeneration working condition.

[0097] ​The current total power generation can be the cumulative sum of the power generation under all operating conditions that have been executed. For example, the current total power generation = power generation under the hot engine operating condition + power generation under the initial power point + power generation under the adjusted power point 1 + … + power generation under the adjusted power point N. After the current total power generation is calculated, it can also be converted into the form of the battery pack SOC (State Of Charge, state of charge) as the final current total power generation, for example, current total power generation / battery pack degree number x 100%.

[0098] Further, when the sum of the current total power generation and the initial power reaches a preset value, the range extender can be controlled to exit the GPF parked regeneration operating condition, and then enter the idle power generation mode to achieve cooling, or the range extender is adjusted to a regeneration power supply state, that is, it is still in the GPF parked regeneration operating condition, but the generator is disconnected and does not charge the battery pack.

[0099] Through the above embodiments, the power prediction before GPF regeneration is realized, so that the power generation during the GPF parked regeneration process is detected in real time when the battery has an overcharging risk, and the regeneration or regeneration power supply is exited in time when the battery is fully charged, thereby preventing overcharging of the battery and avoiding damage to the battery pack caused by overcharging.

[0100] In this embodiment, considering that the GPF parked regeneration can be divided into two cases, i.e., the case where there is a person in the vehicle and the case where there is no person in the vehicle, the safety requirement of the vehicle in the case where there is no person in the vehicle can be higher than that in the case where there is a person in the vehicle. Therefore, in order to further ensure the safety of GPF regeneration in the case where there is no person in the vehicle, further cooling processing can be performed after the preset cooling power processing.

[0101] Optionally, before controlling the range extender of the target vehicle to enter the GPF parked regeneration operating condition, the method further includes: displaying a regeneration mode selection interface based on the multimedia system of the target vehicle; and obtaining a target mode selected by a user on the regeneration mode selection interface, wherein the target mode is a person-removed parked regeneration mode or a person-present parked regeneration mode.

[0102] Correspondingly, if the target mode is the person-removed parked regeneration mode, after controlling the range extender to operate at each preset cooling power and for a corresponding operating time length, the method further includes: controlling the target vehicle to enter a generator reverse drag mode to stabilize the engine at a set speed for a set time by reverse dragging the engine with the generator, so that the intake air cools the engine.

[0103] That is, before entering the GPF parking regeneration working condition, a regeneration mode selection interface can be displayed for the user to select the off-parking regeneration mode or the on-parking regeneration mode. Further, after the GPF parking regeneration working condition is completed and the range extender is controlled to operate at each preset cooling power in turn, the target vehicle is controlled to enter the generator reverse drag mode. The generator reverse drag mode can be that the generator reversely drags the engine to a set speed (such as 1500 rpm), and the engine is stably operated for a set time (such as 120 s) to rapidly cool the engine by using the temperature of the intake air.

[0104] In the off-parking regeneration mode, the engine can be further cooled to ensure the safety of the vehicle in the off-parking regeneration mode. In combination with the multimedia system, the vehicle owner can freely select the off-parking regeneration mode or the on-parking regeneration mode.

[0105] The GPF parking regeneration method of the range extended vehicle provided in this embodiment can reduce the misoperation caused by human operation during regeneration, ensure the safety of the surrounding environment when the vehicle is regenerated in place, and ensure the safety of the regeneration in place, thereby reducing the risk of regeneration. Further, the GPF parking regeneration working condition is adjusted in real time to control the GPF to reach a suitable regeneration temperature during regeneration in place, improve the GPF regeneration efficiency, and reduce energy waste.

[0106] The GPF parking regeneration method of the range extended vehicle provided in this embodiment determines the environmental safety information of the target vehicle when the target vehicle is in the waiting-to-stop driving state, and then determines whether the safe environment regeneration condition is met according to the environmental safety information when the target vehicle is in the stopped state and the GPF parking regeneration demand is detected. If the safe environment regeneration condition is met, the range extender of the target vehicle is controlled to enter the GPF parking regeneration working condition, and the GPF parking regeneration working condition is adjusted according to the real-time temperature of the GPF when the range extender is working. The working condition is adjusted based on the temperature of the GPF, the regeneration interruption or failure caused by excessively high or low temperature in the prior art is solved, and the method does not need human operation and human supervision. The method determines whether the safe environment regeneration condition is met by obtaining the environmental safety information, ensures that the GPF regeneration is performed in a safe environment, and improves the safety during the regeneration process.
