[0002] In recent years, new energy technologies have developed rapidly in the automotive industry, and pure electric control systems are widely used in the automotive field. Currently, electric drive systems exist in various forms, including single-drive and multi-drive systems. Compared to single-drive systems, multi-drive systems offer advantages such as higher output power, no power interruption, and higher system efficiency. However, when electric vehicles are driven in low-temperature environments, gear shifting cannot be completed due to temperature variations, affecting the user's driving experience; currently, there is no good solution. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a shift control method, device, vehicle, and storage medium to achieve normal speed regulation and shifting of the drive system in low-temperature environments, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a shift control method is provided, the method comprising:

[0005] During the vehicle's operation, when the overall temperature of the vehicle is lower than a preset temperature threshold, if a gear shift request is detected, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively.

[0006] When both the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the current gear of the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty, the vehicle's total drive power and the electric drive system's system drive power are obtained.

[0007] When the vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet a preset condition, a power compensation value is determined; wherein, the preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold.

[0008] The current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted based on the power compensation value to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform a gear shifting operation.

[0009] According to another aspect of the present invention, a shift control device is provided, the device comprising:

[0010] The current gear acquisition module is used to acquire the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism respectively when the vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold during the vehicle's operation and a gear shift request is detected.

[0011] The drive power acquisition module is used to acquire the vehicle's total drive power and the electric drive system's system drive power when both the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the current gear of the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty.

[0012] A power compensation value determination module is used to determine a power compensation value when the vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet a preset condition; wherein, the preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold.

[0013] The current drive power adjustment module is used to adjust the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism based on the power compensation value, so as to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform a gear shifting operation.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle comprising:

When both the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty, the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power of the electric drive system are obtained. This allows determination of whether the remaining power after satisfying the system drive power of the electric drive system meets the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. When the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet a preset condition, a power compensation value is determined to redistribute the overall vehicle drive power to meet the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold. Based on the power compensation value, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform shifting operations. Through the technical solution of this embodiment of the invention, the effect of normal speed adjustment and shifting of the drive system in a low-temperature environment can be achieved, improving the user's driving experience.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a gear shifting control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of changing gears in a vehicle. The method can be executed by a gear shifting control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software, and can be configured in the vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0031] S110. During vehicle operation, when the overall vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold, if a gear shift request is detected, the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively.

[0032] Vehicle temperature refers to the temperature inside the vehicle, including the interior air temperature and the temperatures of other components such as the engine, transmission, and tires. Vehicle temperature is affected by many factors, such as ambient temperature, vehicle speed, driving mode, and usage.

[0033] Vehicle temperature affects vehicle performance. For example, when an electric vehicle with a multi-drive system operates in a low-temperature environment, the battery discharge power drops sharply to the low-temperature battery discharge power, reducing the remaining charge and consequently decreasing the power delivered to the vehicle. Under these conditions, when the driver intends to accelerate and shift gears, sending a shift request to the multi-drive system, the primary drive mechanism is in drive mode, providing the required torque. However, due to the reduced remaining charge, the vehicle cannot provide the additional power needed for the auxiliary drive mechanism to adjust its speed. Consequently, the speed difference between the auxiliary drive mechanism and the engagement gear ring cannot reach the specified value, preventing the shift from being completed and limiting the vehicle's performance.

[0034] To address the above situation, this invention provides a gear shifting control method. Specifically, during vehicle operation, when the overall vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold, the vehicle is considered to be operating in a low-temperature environment. If a gear shifting request is detected at this time, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively to determine the actual driving state of the vehicle in the low-temperature environment.

[0035] S120. When both the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the current gear of the auxiliary drive mechanism are not neutral, obtain the vehicle's total drive power and the electric drive system's system drive power.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, after detecting a shift request and obtaining the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism, if both the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty, the vehicle needs to simultaneously provide the system drive power of the electric drive system and the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. At this time, by obtaining the vehicle's total drive power and the system drive power of the electric drive system, it can be determined whether the remaining power after the total vehicle drive power meets the system drive power of the electric drive system meets the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism.

[0037] S130. When the vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet the preset conditions, determine the power compensation value; wherein, the preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the vehicle's overall drive power and the electric drive system's system drive power, it can be determined whether the overall drive power and the system drive power meet preset conditions. The preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the overall drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold. It can be understood that when the overall drive power and the system drive power meet the preset conditions, the absolute value of the difference between the overall drive power and the system drive power is less than the preset threshold, indicating that the overall drive power and the system drive power are close. That is, after the overall drive power meets the system drive power of the electric drive system, the remaining power is insufficient to meet the additional power required for the speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. At this time, the electric drive system enters a power limiting mode, and a power compensation value needs to be determined to redistribute the overall drive power to meet the additional power required for the speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism.

[0039] S140. Adjust the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism based on the power compensation value, so as to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform a gear shifting operation.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the power compensation value, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism can be adjusted based on the power compensation value. This ensures that the overall vehicle drive power, after satisfying the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism, can also satisfy the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism, i.e., satisfy the auxiliary drive power required for speed regulation, and control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform gear shifting operations. Therefore, the drive system can achieve normal speed regulation and gear shifting in low-temperature environments, improving the user's driving experience.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, during vehicle operation, when the overall vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold, if a shift request is detected, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained to determine the actual driving state of the vehicle in a low-temperature environment. When both the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty, the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power of the electric drive system are obtained. This allows determination of whether the remaining power after satisfying the system drive power of the electric drive system meets the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. When the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet a preset condition, a power compensation value is determined to redistribute the overall vehicle drive power to meet the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. The preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power is less than a preset threshold. Based on the power compensation value, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform shifting operations. Through the technical solution of this embodiment of the invention, the effect of normal speed adjustment and shifting of the drive system in a low-temperature environment can be achieved, improving the user's driving experience.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a shift control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention are optimized based on the above embodiments. Solutions not described in detail in the embodiments of the present invention are described in the above embodiments. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0044] S210. During vehicle operation, when the overall vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold, if a gear shift request is detected, the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, when the overall temperature of the vehicle is lower than a preset temperature threshold during vehicle operation, the vehicle is considered to be driving in a low-temperature environment. If a gear shift request is detected at this time, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively to determine the actual driving state of the vehicle in the low-temperature environment.

[0046] Specifically, if a shift request is detected, the current gear positions of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained, including:

[0047] If a shift request is detected, determine whether the vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions;

[0048] When it is determined that the vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions, the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained respectively.

[0049] It is understandable that vehicle performance will be affected in low-temperature environments, such as below zero degrees Celsius. Therefore, in this embodiment of the invention, after detecting a shift request, it is necessary to first determine whether the vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions. Generally, determining whether a vehicle meets the low-temperature shift conditions requires consideration of multiple factors, such as the vehicle's basic parameters, the climate conditions of the region, and the specifications and models of specific components. When it is determined that the vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are then obtained to ensure driving safety in low-temperature environments.

[0050] Specifically, determining whether a vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions includes:

[0051] Obtain the vehicle's battery discharge power and remaining charge;

[0052] When the battery discharge power is less than the preset power threshold and the remaining charge is less than the preset charge threshold, the vehicle's output shaft speed, the vehicle's required torque, and the vehicle's system fault status are obtained.

[0053] When the vehicle meets the conditions for entering the next gear based on the output shaft speed and the required torque of the whole vehicle, and the system fault status is non-fault status, the vehicle meets the low temperature shift control conditions.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, it is necessary to obtain the battery discharge power and remaining charge of the vehicle under low-temperature conditions. When the battery discharge power is less than a preset power threshold and the remaining charge is less than a preset charge threshold, it indicates that the battery discharge power and remaining charge have been affected by the low temperature. At this time, the output shaft speed, the required torque of the vehicle, and the system fault status of the vehicle are obtained. Based on the output shaft speed and the required torque of the vehicle, it is determined whether the vehicle meets the conditions for entering the next gear. Only when the vehicle meets the conditions for entering the next gear and the system status is non-faulty, it is said that the vehicle is ready to shift gears in a low-temperature environment, that is, the vehicle meets the low-temperature shift control conditions.

[0055] S220. When both the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the current gear of the auxiliary drive mechanism are not neutral, obtain the vehicle's total drive power and the electric drive system's system drive power.

[0056] S230. When the vehicle drive power and system drive power meet the preset conditions, obtain the first oil temperature of the electric drive system, the second oil temperature of the main drive mechanism and the third oil temperature of the auxiliary drive mechanism.

[0057] The preset condition is that the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's drive power and the system's drive power is less than a preset threshold. When the vehicle's drive power and the system's drive power meet the preset condition, the electric drive system enters a power limiting mode. In this mode, the first oil temperature of the electric drive system, the second oil temperature of the main drive mechanism, and the third oil temperature of the auxiliary drive mechanism are acquired, and the power compensation value is determined based on these three temperatures.

[0058] For example, Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating the method for determining when an electric drive system enters a power-limiting mode is shown. As illustrated, when a shift request is detected, and both the current gear of the main drive mechanism and the current gear of the auxiliary drive mechanism are not neutral, and the absolute value of the difference between the vehicle's drive power and the system's drive power is less than a preset threshold, the vehicle's electric drive system enters a power-limiting mode. In this mode, the first oil temperature of the electric drive system, the second oil temperature of the main drive mechanism, and the third oil temperature of the auxiliary drive mechanism are acquired.

[0059] S240. Calculate the average of the first oil temperature, the second oil temperature and the third oil temperature to obtain the target oil temperature.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the first oil temperature of the electric drive system, the second oil temperature of the main drive mechanism, and the third oil temperature of the auxiliary drive mechanism, the power compensation value can be determined based on these three temperatures. Specifically, the average of the first, second, and third oil temperatures needs to be calculated first to obtain the target oil temperature, and then the power compensation value is determined based on the target oil temperature. Therefore, the first, second, and third oil temperatures in the application scenario can be fully utilized in the determination of the target oil temperature, improving the accuracy and rationality of the target oil temperature determination.

[0061] S250, determine the power compensation value based on the target oil temperature.

[0062] In this embodiment of the invention, after obtaining the target oil temperature, the power compensation value can be determined based on the target oil temperature. Generally, there is a certain correspondence between power and oil temperature. The target power corresponding to the target oil temperature can be obtained, and the power compensation value between the current power and the target power can be determined. Optionally, the power compensation value can be determined by interpolation based on the target oil temperature and a preset calibrated power compensation value.

[0063] Specifically, the power compensation value is determined based on the target oil temperature, including:

[0064] Obtain the pre-set correspondence table between oil temperature and power compensation value;

[0065] The power compensation value is determined based on the target oil temperature and the corresponding relationship table.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, a correspondence between oil temperature and power compensation value can be preset, and a corresponding correspondence table can be created. After obtaining the target oil temperature, the target oil temperature can be compared with the correspondence table to determine the power compensation value, thereby redistributing the vehicle's drive power to meet the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism.

[0067] S260. Adjust the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism based on the power compensation value, so as to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform gear shifting operation.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, after determining the power compensation value, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted based on the power compensation value, and the overall vehicle drive power is redistributed to meet the additional power required for the speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism, so as to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform gear shifting operation.

[0069] Specifically, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted based on the power compensation value, including:

[0070] The driving power of the main drive power is adjusted to the target main drive power, and the driving power of the auxiliary drive power is adjusted to the target auxiliary drive power; where the target main drive power is the difference between the current main drive power and the power compensation value, and the target auxiliary drive power is the sum of the current auxiliary drive power and the power compensation value.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the target main drive power is the difference between the current main drive power and the power compensation value, and the target auxiliary drive power is the sum of the current auxiliary drive power and the power compensation value. Therefore, adjusting the main drive power to the target main drive power and the auxiliary drive power to the target auxiliary drive power involves subtracting the power compensation value from the current main drive power and adding the power compensation value to the current auxiliary drive power. It can be understood that the adjusted target auxiliary drive power can meet the additional power required for speed regulation of the auxiliary drive mechanism. This allows for normal speed regulation and gear shifting of the drive system in low-temperature environments, improving the user's driving experience.

[0072] S270: Control the main drive mechanism to torque mode and control the auxiliary drive mechanism to enter free mode for disengagement operation.

[0073] In this invention, after controlling the auxiliary drive mechanism to perform a gear shifting operation, the main drive mechanism can be controlled to be in torque mode, and the auxiliary drive mechanism can be controlled to enter free mode to perform a disengagement operation. Optionally, various methods can be used to control the auxiliary drive mechanism to enter free mode, such as manual operation mechanisms, electronic control units, control panels on the vehicle control system, etc. The specific operation methods and precautions may vary depending on the vehicle model, manufacturer, region, etc.

[0074] S280. After the auxiliary drive mechanism is disengaged, the main drive mechanism is controlled to provide the required torque for the vehicle, and the auxiliary drive mechanism is controlled to enter the speed mode to adjust the vehicle speed based on the vehicle power.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, after the auxiliary drive mechanism disengages, the main drive mechanism can be controlled to provide the required torque for the vehicle, and the auxiliary drive mechanism can be controlled to enter a speed mode, running at a preset speed. This allows for speed adjustment based on the vehicle's overall power, improving energy utilization efficiency. It is important to note that when controlling the auxiliary drive mechanism, appropriate modes and parameters should be selected to avoid excessive noise, vibration, or energy consumption, and to ensure the equipment is in a safe and efficient working state.

[0076] In this embodiment of the invention, during vehicle operation, when the overall vehicle temperature is lower than a preset temperature threshold, if a gear shift request is detected, the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained to determine the actual driving state of the vehicle in a low-temperature environment. When both the current gears of the main drive mechanism and the auxiliary drive mechanism are not empty, the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power of the electric drive system are obtained. This allows determination of whether the remaining power after the overall vehicle drive power meets the system drive power of the electric drive system meets the additional power required for speed adjustment of the auxiliary drive mechanism. When the overall vehicle drive power and the system drive power meet preset conditions, the first oil temperature of the electric drive system, the second oil temperature of the main drive mechanism, and the third oil temperature of the auxiliary drive mechanism are obtained. The first, second, and third oil temperatures are then calculated. The average value is used to obtain the target oil temperature. This allows for the full utilization of the first, second, and third oil temperatures in the application scenario during the target oil temperature determination process, improving the accuracy and rationality of the target oil temperature determination. A power compensation value is determined based on the target oil temperature, thereby redistributing the vehicle's drive power to meet the additional power required for the auxiliary drive mechanism's speed adjustment. Based on the power compensation value, the current main drive power of the main drive mechanism and the current auxiliary drive power of the auxiliary drive mechanism are adjusted to control the auxiliary drive mechanism's gear shifting operation. The main drive mechanism is controlled to be in torque mode, and the auxiliary drive mechanism is controlled to enter free mode for disengagement. After the auxiliary drive mechanism disengages, the main drive mechanism is controlled to provide the vehicle with the required torque, and the auxiliary drive mechanism is controlled to enter speed mode to adjust the vehicle's speed based on the overall vehicle power. Through the technical solution of this invention, the normal speed adjustment and gear shifting effect of the drive system can be achieved in low-temperature environments, improving the user's driving experience and increasing energy utilization efficiency.
