Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hydraulic control of hybrid transmissions, and more specifically, to a hydraulic control method and hydraulic control device for a hybrid transmission. Background Technology

[0002] Dual-motor hybrid transmissions, as a mainstream hybrid technology, typically use a single clutch to disconnect or transmit engine torque. For multi-speed hybrid transmissions, the hydraulic system generally uses a coupled power source consisting of an electronic oil pump and a mechanical oil pump. The output is then regulated and distributed by the hydraulic system to various components or actuators. To prevent interference between the hydraulic system's oil sources and to limit the pressure in the high-pressure and low-pressure circuits, check valves are typically added at the outlets of both the electronic and mechanical oil pumps, and pressure relief valves are added to both the high-pressure and low-pressure circuits. However, adding check valves increases cost and layout complexity. The lack of a relief valve in the low-pressure circuit results in very high pressure, requiring downstream components and piping to be designed with high strength, leading to significant design redundancy, higher costs, and larger size.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application 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 this application 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 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.

[0023] According to an embodiment of this application, an embodiment of a hydraulic control method for a hybrid transmission is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart in the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. Furthermore, although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.

[0024] Figure 1 This application describes a hydraulic control method for a hybrid transmission, which includes at least an electronic oil pump, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0025] Step S102: Determine the vehicle operation mode of the target vehicle within the target time period;

[0026] Step S104: Determine the output flow rate and actual required flow rate of the mechanical oil pump of the target vehicle when the vehicle is in non-pure electric mode.

[0027] Step S106: Obtain the oil temperature of the target vehicle during the target time period, as well as the maximum load of the low-pressure oil circuit of the target vehicle, and determine the maximum allowable flow rate of the oil at the oil temperature and at the maximum load.

[0028] Step S108: Based on at least one of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual required flow rate, the mathematical relationship between the output flow rate and the pump's operating state is determined to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hybrid transmission.

[0029] This hydraulic control method employs flow regulation based on an electronic oil pump. It determines the vehicle's operating mode during a target time period; identifies the output flow and actual demand flow of the mechanical oil pump when the vehicle is in a non-pure electric mode; acquires the oil temperature and maximum load of the low-pressure oil circuit during the target time period; and determines the maximum allowable flow rate at that temperature and maximum load. Based on the mathematical relationship between at least one element of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual demand flow rate and the output flow rate, the operating state of the electronic oil pump is determined to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hybrid transmission. This achieves the goal of adjusting the flow rate within the hybrid transmission's pipelines by rotating the electronic oil pump in both directions, thereby adjusting the hybrid transmission's hydraulic pressure. This results in precise control of the oil circuit pressure, reduced system power consumption and cost, and solves the technical problems of high design difficulty, high cost, and large volume occupation caused by adjusting hydraulic pressure using a one-way valve in related technologies.

[0030] To avoid excessive pressure in the hybrid transmission oil circuit, as an optional implementation method, the operating state of the electronic oil pump is determined based on the mathematical relationship between at least one of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual required flow rate and the output flow rate. This can be achieved as follows: when the output flow rate is greater than the maximum allowable flow rate, a first control command is generated based on the first difference between the maximum allowable flow rate and the output flow rate. The first control command value is sent to the electronic oil pump to control it to rotate counterclockwise so as to draw in the first difference flow rate through the suction circuit of the electronic oil pump.

[0031] As an optional implementation, in order to ensure the accuracy of adjustment and avoid over-adjustment, after controlling the electronic oil pump to rotate counterclockwise, the load of the low-pressure oil circuit of the target vehicle can be detected by a sensor until the load is less than the maximum load, then the electronic oil pump is controlled to stop rotating.

[0032] As another optional implementation, the operating state of the electronic oil pump is determined based on the mathematical relationship between at least one of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual demand flow rate and the output flow rate. It can also be used to send a second control command to the electronic oil pump to control the electronic oil pump to stop rotating when the output flow rate is less than the maximum allowable flow rate but greater than the actual demand flow rate.

[0033] As another optional implementation, the operating state of the electronic oil pump is determined based on the mathematical relationship between at least one of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual demand flow rate and the output flow rate. In the case where the output flow rate is less than the actual demand flow rate, a third control command is generated based on the second difference flow rate between the actual demand flow rate and the output flow rate, and the third control command is sent to the electronic oil pump to control the electronic oil pump to rotate in a clockwise direction so as to output the second difference flow rate to the hybrid transmission through the oil outlet of the electronic oil pump.

[0034] It should be noted that the above-mentioned non-pure electric modes include, but are not limited to: hybrid mode and direct drive mode. In hybrid mode, the target vehicle's engine generates electricity, and the drive motor drives the vehicle. In direct drive mode, the engine directly drives the vehicle.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, when the vehicle is in pure electric mode, the actual demand flow of the target vehicle is determined during the target time period when the target vehicle is in pure electric mode; if the actual demand flow is less than the preset maximum demand flow, a fourth control command is generated based on the actual demand flow, and the fourth control command is sent to the electronic oil pump to control the electronic oil pump to rotate clockwise so as to output the actual demand flow to the hybrid transmission through the oil outlet of the electronic oil pump.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the hydraulic control device 100 of the hybrid transmission in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic control device includes: oil tank 01, suction filter 02, electronic oil pump 03, mechanical oil pump 04, main oil pressure regulating pilot solenoid valve 05, main oil pressure regulating slide valve 06, high pressure unloading valve 07, actuator (module) 08, cooler 09, filter press 10, flow distribution mechanism (module) 11, electronic oil pump (EOP) inlet oil circuit 101, electronic oil pump outlet oil circuit 102, mechanical oil pump outlet oil circuit 103, cooling oil circuit 104, and oil temperature sensor 110.

[0037] In this embodiment, the hybrid transmission has three basic operating modes: First, pure electric mode: the drive motor drives the vehicle, and only the electronic oil pump works. Second, hybrid mode: the engine generates electricity, the drive motor drives the vehicle, the mechanical oil pump works, and the electronic oil pump can be selected to work or not. Third, direct drive mode: the engine drives the vehicle, the mechanical oil pump works, and the electronic oil pump can be selected to work or not.

[0038] When designing a hybrid transmission, the low-pressure oil circuit load is designed based on Ps, meaning the load range is 0 to Ps. The maximum allowable flow rate at different oil temperatures corresponding to Ps is Qsi. The maximum flow rate requirement of the hybrid system under different modes and oil temperatures is Qmi, and the corresponding low-pressure oil circuit load is Pmi, where Qmi < Qsi and Pmi < Ps. During actual vehicle operation, the actual required flow rate is Qa, corresponding to a load of Pa, where Qa ≤ Qmi and Pa ≤ Pmi. It's important to note that Ps represents the maximum load of the low-pressure oil circuit. Because the low-pressure oil circuit load is affected by oil temperature and output flow rate, in pure electric mode, only the electronic oil pump operates, and its speed is precisely controlled according to flow rate requirements. In this case, the low-pressure oil circuit load is Pa.

[0039] When in hybrid or direct drive mode, the mechanical oil pump operates, and its speed is not decoupled from the engine speed. When the engine speed is high and the oil temperature is low, the output flow rate of the mechanical oil pump, Qme, is greater than Qsi. At this time, the load on the low-pressure oil circuit is greater than Ps. In this embodiment, by changing the rotation direction of the electronic oil pump 03, the excess oil output by the mechanical oil pump can be drawn from the oil outlet 102 of the electronic oil pump and then discharged to the suction circuit 101, thereby reducing the load on the low-pressure oil circuit to below Ps and ensuring system safety.

[0040] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart of a hydraulic control method for a hybrid transmission in one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, the process includes: obtaining the current vehicle mode and the required flow rate for cooling and lubrication at the current oil temperature; then, determining whether the vehicle is in EV (pure electric mode). In pure electric mode, the engine is not running, only the electronic oil pump is operating. The required flow rate calculation module receives external signals and calculates the current actual required flow rate Qa. Qa is compared with the preset maximum required flow rate Qmi for the current oil temperature. If Qa ≤ Qmi, Qa is sent as a flow rate input command to the EOP, and the EOP operates in direction 1. It should be noted that Qmi was calibrated in the early stages of development and can be obtained from a lookup table in the input control module. Specifically, the EOP operates in direction 1. At this time, 101 is the EOP's oil suction path, and 102 is the EOP's oil outlet path. Oil flows from the oil tank 01 through the oil suction filter 02 and the electronic oil pump 03 to the electronic oil pump outlet oil path 102, then through the cooler 09 and the pressure filter 10 to the flow distribution module 11, and is then distributed to various parts of the hybrid transmission. At this time, the low-pressure oil circuit load is Pa.

[0041] When in hybrid mode or direct drive mode: the mechanical oil pump works, and the speed of the mechanical oil pump is not decoupled from the engine speed. When the engine speed is high and the oil temperature is low, the output flow of the mechanical oil pump Qme > Qsi. (Qsi-Qme) is sent as the flow input command to EOP. EOP rotates in direction 2. Specifically, EOP rotates in direction 2. At this time, 102 is the oil suction path of EOP and 101 is the oil discharge path of EOP. The mechanical oil pump outputs oil from the oil tank 01 through the oil suction filter 02 to the mechanical oil pump outlet oil circuit 103. Part of the oil passes through the cooler 09 and the filter press 10 to the flow distribution module 11, and after distribution, it is input to various parts of the hybrid transmission. Another part of the oil is output from the 102 oil circuit to the 101 oil outlet circuit by the EOP. At this time, the load of the low-pressure oil circuit is kept below Ps to ensure the safety of the low-pressure oil circuit. The relationship between the output flow rate Qme of the mechanical oil pump and the oil temperature Ta, and the relationship between the maximum allowable flow rate Qsi and the oil temperature Ta have been calibrated during development and can be obtained by looking up the table.

[0042] Figure 4 This application discloses a hydraulic control device for a hybrid transmission, wherein the hybrid transmission includes at least an electronic oil pump, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the hydraulic control device includes:

[0043] The first determining module 40 is used to determine the vehicle operation mode of the target vehicle within the target time period;

[0046] The third determining module 46 is used to determine the operating state of the electronic oil pump based on at least one of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual demand flow rate, and the mathematical relationship between the output flow rate, so as to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hybrid transmission.

[0047] In this hydraulic control device, the first determining module 40 is used to determine the vehicle operating mode of the target vehicle during the target time period; the second determining module 42 is used to determine the output flow rate and actual demand flow rate of the mechanical oil pump of the target vehicle when the vehicle operating mode is non-pure electric mode; the acquiring module 44 is used to acquire the oil temperature of the target vehicle and the maximum load of the low-pressure oil circuit of the target vehicle during the target time period, and determine the maximum allowable flow rate of the oil at the oil temperature and the maximum load; the third determining module 46 is used to determine the operating state of the electronic oil pump based on the mathematical relationship between at least one element of the maximum allowable flow rate and the actual demand flow rate and the output flow rate, so as to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the hybrid transmission. This achieves the purpose of adjusting the flow rate in the hybrid transmission pipeline based on the forward and reverse rotation of the electronic oil pump, thereby achieving the technical effect of accurately controlling the pressure of the oil circuit, reducing system power consumption and system cost, and solving the technical problems of high design difficulty, high cost and large volume caused by the method of adjusting hydraulic pressure by setting a one-way valve in related technologies.
