[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. 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. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0025] Figure 1a This is a flowchart illustrating a shift control method provided by the present invention. This method can be executed by the shift control device provided in this embodiment. The device can be implemented using software and / or hardware. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated into a vehicle. (Reference) Figure 1a The method may specifically include the following steps:

[0026] Step 101: Obtain the historical downshift frequency of the target vehicle within the first preset time period.

[0027] Specifically, downshifting refers to changing a car's gear from a higher gear to a lower gear. This can increase engine speed and provide more power for situations requiring rapid acceleration or climbing. For example, downshifting from gear x to (x-1) involves 1 downshift, and downshifting from gear x to (x-2) involves 2 downshifts. However, frequent downshifting increases fuel consumption and engine wear, so proper downshifting control is crucial for any given vehicle.

[0028] Specifically, historical downshift frequency is an indicator that measures driving behavior, reflecting the average number of times a driver downshifts the vehicle within a preset time period, measured in times per hour. This indicator is primarily used to evaluate the fuel economy and safety of a driver's vehicle. Historical downshift frequency can help drivers adjust their driving behavior, reduce frequent downshifting, lower fuel consumption and vehicle wear, and improve driving safety and fuel economy.

[0029] Specifically, when controlling gear shifting for a particular vehicle, it is necessary to first obtain the historical downshifting frequency of the target vehicle within a first preset time period. This is to determine the driver's driving habits and power requirements, and then perform gear shifting control accordingly. The first preset time period can be set before the vehicle leaves the factory or customized by the user. For example, the first preset time period can be set to 100 hours.

[0030] Step 102: Determine the power demand type of the target vehicle within the first preset time period based on the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period.

[0031] For example, power demand types can include economy demand, power demand, and general demand. A probability distribution chart can be generated based on the historical downshifting frequency of sample vehicles using big data statistics, such as... Figure 1b As shown, sample vehicles with a historical downshift frequency less than the first probability can be classified as economy-demand type, with the first probability being 10%. Sample vehicles with a historical downshift frequency greater than the second probability can be classified as power-demand type, with the second probability being greater than the first probability, for example, 90%. Sample vehicles with a downshift frequency between the first and second probabilities can be ordinary vehicles without special shifting requirements; when there are no special shifting control requirements, shifting control may not be performed. The sample vehicles may include target vehicles.

[0032] Step 103: When the power demand type belongs to the preset demand type, determine the shifting strategy of the target vehicle in the second preset time period based on the power demand type of the target vehicle in the first preset time period.

[0033] Specifically, the preset demand types include economic demand and power demand. When the power demand type is either economic demand or power demand, subsequent shift control is performed until the economic demand or power demand type is controlled to be ordinary demand, at which point shift control is no longer performed.

[0034] Specifically, when the target vehicle's power demand type is economy demand type during the first preset time period, the shifting strategy for the target vehicle during the economy demand type during the first preset time period is adjusted to obtain the shifting strategy for the second preset time period. When the target vehicle's power demand type is power demand type during the first preset time period, the shifting strategy for the target vehicle during the power demand type during the first preset time period is adjusted to obtain the shifting strategy for the second preset time period. For example, the second preset time period can be a different set period of time, or it can be the same as the first preset time period, which can be set to 100 hours.

[0035] Step 104: Control the target vehicle to shift gears according to the shifting strategy within the second preset time period, which is later than the first preset time period.

[0036] During the second preset time period, the target vehicle is subjected to corresponding gear shift control based on the gear shift strategy determined by the power demand type in the first preset time period to achieve the best driving effect. When the power demand type in the first preset time period is economy demand type, the gear shift strategy for the first preset time period is adjusted according to the economy adjustment gear shift strategy. When the power demand type in the first preset time period is power demand type, the gear shift strategy for the first preset time period is adjusted according to the power adjustment gear shift strategy.

[0037] The solution in this embodiment can obtain the historical downshift frequency of the target vehicle within a first preset time period; determine the power demand type of the target vehicle within the first preset time period based on the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period; when the power demand type belongs to a preset demand type, determine the shifting strategy of the target vehicle within a second preset time period based on the power demand type of the target vehicle within the first preset time period; and control the target vehicle to shift gears according to the shifting strategy within the second preset time period, where the second preset time period is later than the first preset time period. In other words, this invention can determine the power demand type and shifting strategy of a vehicle within a future period based on the vehicle's historical downshift frequency and power demand type, and automatically adjust the shifting strategy according to the driving power demand of different drivers. This allows drivers to accurately control vehicle shifting without having to customize their driving power demand type before driving, effectively improving the vehicle's fuel economy and power performance.

[0038] The shift control method provided in this embodiment is further described below, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the shift control method may specifically include the following steps:

[0039] Step 210: Obtain the historical downshift frequency of the target vehicle within the first preset time period.

[0040] Specifically, before obtaining the historical downshift frequency of the target vehicle within a first preset time period, it is necessary to obtain the vehicle's driving data within that time period. This driving data may include information such as vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle opening, and timestamps. Based on this information, the historical downshift frequency of the target vehicle within the first preset time period is calculated. This data can be obtained through onboard sensors or vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks.

[0041] After acquiring the vehicle's driving data, it needs to be preprocessed to calculate the historical downshift frequency. The main preprocessing steps include data cleaning, data integration, and data analysis. Data cleaning primarily removes outliers and erroneous data; data integration combines data from different sensors; and data analysis calculates the number of downshifts within each time period.

[0042] Step 220: Obtain the historical downshift frequency distribution data of the sample vehicles.

[0043] Specifically, in order to determine the preset correspondence between the frequency of each historical downshift and the type of power demand, it is necessary to first obtain a set of historical downshift frequency distribution data for sample vehicles. These sample vehicles should have similar models and driving conditions to the target vehicle to ensure the reliability of the sample data.

[0044] Specifically, the historical downshift frequency distribution data of the sample vehicles can be obtained through data mining techniques and statistical analysis methods. Specifically, sample data with similar vehicle models and driving conditions to the target vehicle can be randomly selected from a large-scale driving dataset, and the historical downshift frequency distribution data can be obtained by analyzing these sample data.

[0045] Step 230: Determine the preset correspondence between each historical downshift frequency and power demand type based on the historical downshift frequency distribution data of the sample vehicles.

[0046] Specifically, based on the historical downshift frequency distribution data of the sample vehicles, the power demand type corresponding to each historical downshift frequency can be determined. The preset correspondence can be determined through the following steps: 1. Sort the sample data according to the historical downshift frequency from smallest to largest, and divide it into several intervals. For example, there could be three intervals. 2. Calculate the average historical downshift frequency for each interval. 3. Sort the average historical downshift frequency of each interval from smallest to largest, obtaining an ordered sequence. For example, it could be 1 to 10. 4. Divide this ordered sequence into several segments, each segment corresponding to a power demand type. For example, it can be divided into three segments: 1 to 2 fall into interval one, corresponding to the economy demand type; 3 to 8 fall into interval two, corresponding to the normal demand type; 9 to 10 fall into interval three, corresponding to the power demand type. 5. Based on the segment where the average historical downshift frequency of each interval falls, determine the power demand type of that interval.

[0047] For example, the preset correspondence between the frequency of downshifts in history and the type of power demand is as follows: when the frequency of downshifts is 1 to 2, it corresponds to the economic demand type; when the frequency of downshifts is 3 to 8, it corresponds to the normal demand type; when the frequency of downshifts is 9 to 10, it corresponds to the power demand type.

[0048] Step 240: Based on the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period, query the preset correspondence to obtain the power demand type to which the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period belongs.

[0049] Specifically, the power demand type within a first preset time period is determined by using the historical downshift frequency within that period and a preset correspondence. This can be done in the following steps: 1. Match the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period with the preset correspondence. 2. Determine the interval containing the historical downshift frequency within the first preset time period based on the matching results. 3. Determine the power demand type within the first preset time period based on the power demand type corresponding to that interval.

[0050] Step 251: When the power demand type is economic demand type, reduce the shift speed of the target vehicle at the economic shift point in the first preset time period to obtain the candidate value of the adjustment parameter of the economic shift point.

[0051] Specifically, the candidate value for the economic shift point adjustment parameter refers to the speed of the economic shift point obtained after adjusting parameters based on historical downshift frequency and economic demand within a first preset time period. This parameter reduces the speed of the economic shift point by a certain value, for example, the speed adjustment value can be in the range of -1 to -3 km / h, thereby reducing the original shift point of the vehicle by 1 to 3 km / h. When the original shift point speed for shifting from first to second gear is 20 km / h, the shift point speed for shifting from first to second gear can be adjusted according to the actual situation to obtain different candidate values ​​for the economic shift point adjustment parameter. The candidate value for the shift point speed for shifting from first to second gear can be 17 km / h, 18 km / h, or 19 km / h.

[0052] In congested urban traffic, using demand-based gear shifting can better cope with heavy traffic and frequent stops, maintaining smooth vehicle operation while reducing fuel consumption and improving driving comfort.

[0053] Step 261: Multiply the shift speed of the economic shift point within the first preset time period by the preset economic shift coefficient to obtain the range of values ​​for the shift parameter of the economic shift point.

[0054] Specifically, the preset economic shift coefficient refers to the ratio of the extreme value of the economic shift point under current vehicle driving conditions to the actual value of the current economic shift point. This coefficient can be obtained through statistical analysis of actual test data. Based on the preset economic shift coefficient, we can calculate the range of shift parameter values ​​for the economic shift point. The speed of the economic shift point within the first preset time period can be multiplied by the preset economic shift coefficient to obtain the extreme value of the economic shift point. This extreme value is then determined as the minimum value of the shift parameter for the economic shift point, thus yielding the range of shift parameter values ​​for the economic shift point.

[0055] Specifically, the preset economic shift coefficient can be between 0.7 and 0.9. For example, if the vehicle's original shift point speed for first to second gear is 20 km / h, when the preset economic shift coefficient is 0.9, the preset economic shift parameter range for first to second gear can be no less than 18 km / h. By determining the range of values ​​for the economic shift point parameters, the acceptable range of the economic shift point can be determined, allowing for the selection of the target value for adjusting the economic shift point parameters in the next step.

[0056] Step 271: Determine the target value of the adjustment parameter of the economic shift point from the candidate values ​​of the adjustment parameter of the economic shift point according to the range of the shift parameter values ​​of the economic shift point.

[0057] Specifically, the candidate values ​​for the adjustment parameters at each economic shift point can be compared with the range of values ​​for the shift parameters at that economic shift point to determine whether the candidate value falls within the range. If it falls within the range, the candidate value meets the requirements; otherwise, it is not considered. When multiple candidate values ​​for the adjustment parameters at different economic shift points fall within the range, the speed closest to the limit value can be selected as the target value for the adjustment parameters at that economic shift point, thus completing the adjustment shift strategy based on the economic shift adjustment strategy.

[0058] For example, when the adjustment parameter for shifting from first to second gear is 17 km / h, it does not meet the requirement that the preset economic shift parameter range for shifting from first to second gear is not less than 18 km / h. However, when the adjustment parameter for shifting from first to second gear is 18 km / h or 19 km / h, it meets the requirement that the preset economic shift parameter range is not less than 18 km / h, and can be used as the target value of the adjustment parameter for the economic shift point.

[0059] Step 252: When the power demand type is power demand type, increase the shift speed of the target vehicle at the power shift point in the first preset time period to obtain the candidate values ​​of the power shift point adjustment parameters.

[0060] Specifically, the candidate value for the power shift point adjustment parameter refers to the speed of the power shift point obtained after adjusting parameters based on historical downshift frequency and power demand pattern within a first preset time period. This parameter is obtained by increasing the speed of the power shift point by a certain value, for example, the speed adjustment value can be in the range of 1 to 3 km / h. Different speed adjustment values ​​can yield different candidate values ​​for the power shift point adjustment parameter.

[0061] For example, the original shift point of the vehicle is raised by 1 to 3 km / h. When the original shift point speed for shifting from first to second gear is 20 km / h, the shift point speed for shifting from first to second gear can be adjusted according to the actual situation to obtain different candidate values ​​for the adjustment parameters of the power shift point. The candidate values ​​for the adjustment parameters of shifting from first to second gear can be 21 km / h, 22 km / h, or 23 km / h.

[0062] By increasing the speed of gear shift points, target vehicles with power requirements can have higher gears at the same speed, increasing vehicle power and improving the driver's driving experience.

[0063] Step 262: Multiply the shift speed of the power shift point within the first preset time period by the preset power shift coefficient to obtain the range of values ​​for the power shift parameter.

[0064] Specifically, the preset power shift coefficient refers to the ratio of the extreme value of the vehicle's power shift point under current driving conditions to the actual value of the current power shift point. This coefficient can be obtained through statistical analysis of actual test data. Based on the preset power shift coefficient, we can calculate the range of shift parameter values ​​for the power shift point. The speed of the power shift point within the first preset time period can be multiplied by the preset power shift coefficient to obtain the extreme value of the power shift point. This extreme value is then determined as the maximum value of the shift parameter for the power shift point, thus yielding the range of shift parameter values ​​for the power shift point.

[0065] For example, the power shift coefficient can be between 1.2 and 1.4. For instance, if the vehicle's original shift point speed from first to second gear is 20 km / h, and the power shift coefficient is 1.2, the preset power shift parameter range for shifting from first to second gear can be no greater than 24 km / h. By determining the acceptable range of the power shift point parameters, the target value for adjusting the power shift point parameters can be selected in the next step.

[0066] By determining the range of values ​​for the shift parameters at the power shift point, the acceptable range of the power shift point can be identified, allowing for the selection of target values ​​for the power shift point adjustment parameters in the next step.

[0067] Step 272: Determine the target value of the adjustment parameter of the power shift point from the candidate values ​​of the adjustment parameter of the power shift point according to the range of the shift parameter values ​​of the power shift point.

[0068] Specifically, the candidate values ​​for adjusting the power shift point can be compared with the range of values ​​for the shift parameters at each power shift point to determine whether the candidate value falls within that range. If it does, the candidate value meets the requirements; otherwise, it is disregarded. When multiple candidate values ​​fall within the range of values ​​for the power shift point, the speed closest to the limit value can be selected as the target value for adjusting the power shift point, thus completing the power shift adjustment strategy.

[0069] For example, when the target values ​​for the adjustment parameters for shifting from first to second gear are 21 km / h, 22 km / h, and 23 km / h, they all meet the preset power shift parameter range of no more than 24 km / h, and can be used as the target values ​​for the adjustment parameters of the power shift point.

[0070] In this embodiment, the vehicle's power demand type and shifting strategy for a future period are determined based on the vehicle's historical downshifting frequency and power demand type. The shifting strategy is automatically adjusted according to the driving power demands of different drivers, allowing drivers to accurately control gear shifts without needing to customize their driving power demand type before driving, effectively improving fuel economy and power performance. Specifically, using an economy-adjusting shifting strategy can help drivers of the target vehicle develop more economical driving habits, reducing unnecessary fuel consumption and environmental pollution. Using a power-adjusting shifting strategy can meet the power demands of power-oriented users, improving the driving experience.
