[0052] The structures, proportions, sizes and the like shown in the diagrams attached to the present specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification, so that those skilled in the art can understand and read, and are not used to limit the defined conditions under which the present application can be implemented. Therefore, any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size, which does not affect the effects and purposes that the present application can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present application.

In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used for description purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0054] In the first embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 A control method for energy recovery is provided, which is taken as an example of application to a vehicle controller, and includes the following steps:

[0055] S101: When it is detected that the current vehicle is in a coasting energy recovery state, determining the instability risk level of the current vehicle.

[0056] The coasting energy recovery state refers to that during the coasting process, the mechanical energy of the vehicle is converted into electric energy by the generator, and is stored in the energy storage system such as the storage battery. That is, when the original coasting energy recovery torque is less than 0, and the estimated steady-state vehicle speed is greater than the fourth preset vehicle speed threshold, it is considered that the current vehicle is in the coasting energy recovery state. The fourth vehicle speed threshold can be obtained by real vehicle test, and can be used to indicate that the vehicle is in the coasting state. The specific value of the fourth vehicle speed threshold is not limited in the present application. For example, the fourth vehicle speed threshold can be set to 10 km / h.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the step of judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle comprises: obtaining an estimated steady-state vehicle speed of the current vehicle and a preset reference steady-state vehicle speed; obtaining a difference vehicle speed according to the reference steady-state vehicle speed and the estimated steady-state vehicle speed; and judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle based on the difference vehicle speed.

[0058] It should be noted that the above difference vehicle speed refers to the absolute value of the reference steady-state vehicle speed minus the estimated steady-state vehicle speed; the reference steady-state vehicle speed can be obtained by collecting the vehicle body electronic stability system (Electronic Stability Program, ESP) connected to the vehicle chassis components, wherein the vehicle body electronic stability system can obtain the reference steady-state vehicle speed by referring to the two wheel speeds of the vehicle driving wheels.

[0059] Further, the step of judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle based on the difference vehicle speed comprises: obtaining a first preset vehicle speed threshold and a second vehicle speed threshold; if the difference vehicle speed is equal to the first vehicle speed threshold, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged to be the first level; if the difference vehicle speed is greater than the first vehicle speed threshold and less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged to be the second level; if the difference vehicle speed is greater than the second vehicle speed threshold, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged to be the third level; wherein the instability risk of the first level, the second level and the third level gradually increases, and the reference level is the first level.

[0060] It should be noted that the first vehicle speed threshold and the second vehicle speed threshold can be obtained through real vehicle testing. Among them, the first vehicle speed threshold can be used to indicate that the vehicle stability is good and does not need to reduce the energy recovery strength; the value greater than the first vehicle speed threshold and less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold can be used to indicate that the vehicle stability is better, and the energy recovery strength needs to be appropriately reduced; the value greater than the first vehicle speed threshold can be used to indicate that the vehicle stability is poor, and the energy recovery strength needs to be greatly reduced. In this way, by comparing the difference between the estimated steady speed and the reference steady speed with the first vehicle speed threshold and the second vehicle speed threshold, the instability risk level of the vehicle can be divided into the first level, the second level and the third level.

[0061] The way of judging the instability risk level only by the difference between the reference steady speed and the estimated steady speed has the possibility of not accurate enough judgment result, therefore, the application proposes another implementation mode of judging the instability risk level, that is, on the basis of the difference between the reference steady speed and the estimated steady speed, combining the steering wheel angle change rate, or combining the estimated steady speed and the steering wheel angle change rate, to comprehensively judge the instability risk level. Among them, the steering wheel angle change rate reflects the degree of intervention of the driver on the steering wheel.

[0062] Specifically, in another implementation mode, the step of judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle includes: obtaining the estimated steady speed, the reference steady speed and the steering wheel angle change rate of the current vehicle; obtaining the difference speed according to the reference steady speed and the estimated steady speed; judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle based on the difference speed and the steering wheel angle change rate.

[0063] Further, the step of judging the instability risk level of the current vehicle based on the difference value of vehicle speed and the change rate of steering wheel angle includes: obtaining a preset first vehicle speed threshold, a second vehicle speed threshold, a third vehicle speed threshold and a change rate threshold of steering wheel angle; if the difference value of vehicle speed is equal to the first vehicle speed threshold and the change rate of steering wheel angle is less than the change rate threshold, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged as a first level; if the difference value of vehicle speed is greater than the first vehicle speed threshold and less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold, and the estimated steady-state vehicle speed is less than the third vehicle speed threshold, or the difference value of vehicle speed is equal to the first vehicle speed threshold, the estimated steady-state vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the third vehicle speed threshold, and the change rate of steering wheel angle is greater than or equal to the change rate threshold of steering wheel angle, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged as a second level; if the difference value of vehicle speed is greater than the second vehicle speed threshold, or the difference value of vehicle speed is greater than the first vehicle speed threshold and less than or equal to the second vehicle speed threshold, the estimated steady-state vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the third vehicle speed threshold, and the change rate of steering wheel angle is greater than or equal to the change rate threshold of steering wheel angle, the instability risk level of the current vehicle is judged as a third level; wherein the instability risk of the first level, the second level and the third level gradually increases, and the reference level is the first level.

[0064] It should be noted that the first vehicle speed threshold, the second vehicle speed threshold, the third vehicle speed threshold and the change rate threshold of steering wheel angle can be set according to real vehicle test, which is not limited in the present application. For example, the first vehicle speed threshold can be set to 0, the second vehicle speed threshold can be set to 10 km / h, the third vehicle speed threshold can be set to 50 km / h, and the change rate threshold of steering wheel angle can be set to 90 degrees / s.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the step of obtaining the estimated steady-state vehicle speed of the current vehicle includes: collecting the valid bits of inertial navigation vehicle speed and the inertial navigation vehicle speed output by the intelligent driving component; if the valid bits of inertial navigation vehicle speed indicate that the inertial navigation vehicle speed is valid, the inertial navigation vehicle speed is taken as the estimated steady-state vehicle speed; if the valid bits of inertial navigation vehicle speed indicate that the inertial navigation vehicle speed is invalid, the left front wheel speed and the right front wheel speed of the current vehicle are collected, and the estimated steady-state vehicle speed is calculated according to the left front wheel speed and the right front wheel speed.

[0066] It should be noted that the inertial navigation vehicle speed valid bit is used to indicate whether the inertial navigation vehicle speed collected by the intelligent driving component is reliable. For example, if the value of the inertial navigation vehicle speed valid bit is 1, it means that the inertial navigation vehicle speed collected by the intelligent driving component is reliable, and at this time the inertial navigation vehicle speed can be used as the estimated steady-state vehicle speed for subsequent instability risk level judgment. If the value of the inertial navigation vehicle speed valid bit is 0, it means that the inertial navigation vehicle speed collected by the intelligent driving component is unreliable due to weak navigation signal, communication signal loss or other faults, and at this time the inertial navigation vehicle speed cannot be used as the estimated steady-state vehicle speed, and the vehicle wheel speed can be converted to obtain the value as the estimated steady-state vehicle speed. The specific value of the inertial navigation vehicle speed valid bit can also use other values to represent whether the inertial navigation vehicle speed is reliable, which is not limited by the present application and will not be illustrated one by one.

[0067] The front left wheel speed and the front right wheel speed are defined with reference to the driving direction of the current vehicle; the step of calculating the estimated steady-state vehicle speed according to the front left wheel speed and the front right wheel speed can refer to: calculating the average value of the sum of the front left wheel speed and the front right wheel speed, and taking the average value as the estimated steady-state vehicle speed.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the step of obtaining the steering wheel angle change rate can refer to: collecting the steering wheel angle degrees at any two time points, taking the absolute value of the difference between the steering wheel angle degrees at the two time points, and dividing the time length between the two time points to obtain the steering wheel angle change rate. The steering wheel angle degrees can be collected by the vehicle body electronic stability system, and the default time length of the steering wheel change can be set to 0.5 seconds.

[0069] S102: When the instability risk level exceeds a preset reference level, an energy recovery limitation coefficient is obtained.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, the step of obtaining the energy recovery limitation coefficient when the instability risk level exceeds the preset reference level includes: obtaining a preset first mapping relationship, wherein the first mapping relationship is a plurality of corresponding relationships between energy recovery limitation coefficients and difference vehicle speeds; and obtaining the corresponding energy recovery limitation coefficient according to the difference vehicle speed at the current time and the first mapping relationship.

[0071] It should be noted that through a large number of real vehicle verifications, it is found that the instability risk level and the energy recovery limitation coefficient can be approximately regarded as a linear relationship, that is, when the instability risk level is the first level, it means that the vehicle stability is good at this time, and the strength of energy recovery does not need to be reduced; when the instability risk level is the second level, it means that the vehicle stability is general at this time, and the strength of energy recovery needs to be appropriately reduced, and the energy recovery limitation coefficient is not equal to 1 to 0.5; when the instability risk level is the third level, it means that the vehicle stability is poor at this time, and the strength of energy recovery needs to be greatly reduced, and the energy recovery limitation coefficient is not equal to 0.5 to 0.

[0072] Moreover, if it is determined that the instability risk level is the second level or the third level, the specific value of the energy recovery restriction coefficient is affected by the difference speed between the reference steady speed and the estimated steady speed. Specifically, the greater the difference speed, the worse the vehicle stability, and the greater the degree of intervention on the energy recovery intensity, the smaller the corresponding energy recovery restriction coefficient, so that the target energy recovery torque calculated according to the product of the energy recovery restriction coefficient and the original energy recovery torque is smaller; on the contrary, the smaller the difference speed, the better the vehicle stability, and the smaller the degree of intervention on the energy recovery intensity, the greater the corresponding energy recovery restriction coefficient, so that the target energy recovery torque calculated according to the product of the energy recovery restriction coefficient and the original energy recovery torque is greater.

[0073] Therefore, the relationship between the energy recovery restriction coefficient and the difference speed can also be approximately linear, for example, through a one-time real vehicle test, it is found that when the difference speed is 0, there is no need to intervene or reduce the intensity of energy recovery, at this time the energy recovery restriction coefficient is 1; when the difference speed is 10 km / h, the intensity of energy recovery is reduced to half, that is, the energy recovery restriction coefficient is 0.5, and the vehicle stability can be maintained well. Therefore, according to the above test findings, the first mapping relationship between the difference speed and the energy recovery restriction coefficient can be approximately-0.05x+1=y, where x is the difference speed and y is the energy recovery restriction coefficient.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the step of obtaining the energy recovery restriction coefficient when the instability risk level exceeds the preset reference level further comprises: counting the number of instabilities when the instability risk level exceeds the reference level in a driving cycle; if the number of instabilities exceeds a preset number threshold, the preset first intervention threshold is taken as the energy recovery restriction coefficient when the instability risk level is the second level, and the preset second intervention threshold is taken as the energy recovery restriction coefficient when the instability risk level is the third level. Wherein, the driving cycle refers to the time length of the current vehicle driving once, that is, the time length between the time corresponding to the power-on signal and the time corresponding to the power-off signal; the number threshold can be obtained according to real vehicle test, for example, it can be set to 3 times, 5 times, etc., which is not limited by the present application; the first intervention threshold can be set to the lowest energy intervention coefficient corresponding to the second level, that is, 0.5 (taking the law found in the above real vehicle test as an example), and the second intervention threshold can be set to the lowest energy intervention coefficient corresponding to the third level, that is, 0 (taking the law found in the above real vehicle test as an example).

[0075] S103: regulating the original energy recovery torque according to the energy recovery restriction coefficient to obtain a target energy recovery torque;

[0076] S104: energy recovery is performed according to the target energy recovery torque.

[0077] In some embodiments, when it is judged that the instability risk level exceeds the preset reference level and the original energy recovery torque is intervened by the energy recovery limiting coefficient, a prompt signal can also be sent to inform the user. The prompt signal can be a voice signal output through an intelligent voice system or a text signal displayed through a user interface of a vehicle terminal.

[0078] In summary, through the method of the present application, when a two-wheel drive vehicle performs energy recovery in a special scene such as low temperature or low adhesion, the instability risk level can be judged. When the instability risk level exceeds the reference level, the corresponding energy recovery limiting coefficient is obtained, and the target energy recovery torque is determined again according to the energy recovery limiting coefficient, so as to reduce the strength of energy recovery, improve the phenomenon of driving risk caused by immediately exiting the energy recovery mode, and improve the driving safety of the two-wheel drive vehicle during the energy recovery process.

[0079] It should be understood that, although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart of the present application are displayed in sequence according to the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 At least part of the steps in the present application can include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages, which are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed alternately or alternately with at least part of other steps or sub-steps or stages of other steps.
