Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric vehicles, and in particular to a method and apparatus for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving. Background Technology
[0002] Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular due to their advantages such as energy saving, environmental protection, and comfort, with the vast majority being pure electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion battery packs. However, because charging the battery pack takes much longer than refueling a traditional gasoline vehicle, and given the limited number and coverage of charging infrastructure, pure electric vehicle owners generally face "range anxiety" during long-distance driving: the worry that the battery pack's available power or power output will be insufficient after traveling a considerable distance.
[0003] In addition to the problem of insufficient energy during long-distance driving, which is the same as that faced by traditional fuel vehicles, the available power and output capacity of the battery pack of pure electric vehicles are also affected by the ambient temperature. This is because the available power and discharge power of chemical energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, are significantly affected by temperature. Under the same conditions, the lower the temperature, the less available power and the lower the discharge power.
[0004] Current known technical solutions, while considering the impact of distance on the available battery power and discharge power of pure electric vehicles during long-distance driving, fail to adequately account for the influence of environmental temperature changes due to time and geographical location. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new technologies that fully utilize relevant intelligent connected vehicle technologies to predict the status of pure electric vehicles during long-distance driving, allowing drivers to anticipate potential changes in vehicle status and make appropriate preparations. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a scientific, reasonable, logically clear, accurate, reliable, and user-friendly method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving, and also provides a corresponding low-cost, widely applicable prediction device and an electric vehicle equipped with the device.

The technical solution is a method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving, wherein the pure electric vehicle is powered by a battery pack. Before the pure electric vehicle leaves the factory, the capacity correction coefficient FQ at different temperatures and the discharge power coefficient FP at different temperatures and different nominal state of charge combinations are measured experimentally and stored in a data table. The capacity correction coefficient FQ at a certain temperature is the ratio of the total discharge capacity at that temperature to the rated capacity of the battery pack, and the discharge power coefficient FP at a certain temperature and nominal state of charge combination is the ratio of the pulse discharge power at that combination to the maximum value of the pulse discharge power at all combinations.

[0016] Step S7: Calculate the change of discharge power coefficient FP with travel distance during the journey from the current location to the destination, and form a predicted sequence of discharge power coefficient FP [FP0, FP1, FP2, ..., FP]. i , ...,FP n ], where FP0 is the current ground discharge power coefficient, FP1 to FP n The predicted discharge power coefficient is the value from the end of the first interval to the end of the nth interval; specifically, the predicted discharge power coefficient FP is the value from the end of the i-th interval. i The calculation consists of the following sub-steps:
[0017] Sub-step S7.1: Calculate the nominal state of charge SOCB at the end of the i-th interval. i :
[0018] SOCB i =SOCB0-ΔL×q B ×i (2)

[0021] The aforementioned method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving includes a data table obtained through experimental measurements. The values for different temperatures are taken at 5°C intervals, ranging from -20°C to 50°C. The values for different nominal states of charge (NSCs) are taken at 5% intervals, ranging from 0% to 100%. The nominal NSC value is the ratio of the maximum discharge capacity that the electric vehicle in that NSC can release when transferred to a rated temperature environment and driven under rated operating conditions to the rated capacity of the battery pack. The rated capacity of the battery pack is the discharge capacity of the electric vehicle during the entire process of being fully charged at the rated temperature environment and then driven under rated operating conditions to the minimum permissible voltage state of the battery pack; its value is given by the manufacturer. The table of discharge power coefficients (FP) under different combinations of temperatures and nominal NSCs consists of a series of sub-tables, each sub-table corresponding to a temperature value and including the discharge power coefficients (FP) corresponding to different nominal NSCs at that temperature value.

[0027] The aforementioned method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving includes the following test steps for testing the pulse discharge power under a specific temperature and nominal state of charge combination:
[0028] Step B1: Transfer the electric vehicle to an environment with rated temperature and leave it there for more than 1 hour;
[0029] Step B2: Charge the electric vehicle to full capacity using the rated charging regime;
[0030] Step B3: Discharge the battery pack of the electric vehicle to the nominal state of charge to be tested;

[0036] Step C3: Perform linear interpolation according to the following formula to obtain the charge state correction coefficient FQ at the end of the i-th interval. i :
[0037]
[0038] In the aforementioned method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving, sub-step S7.2 involves querying a data table and interpolating to obtain the predicted value FP of the i-th discharge power coefficient FP. i The specific steps are as follows:
[0039] Step D1: From the table of discharge power coefficients FP under different temperatures and nominal state-of-charge combinations, find the value corresponding to the predicted temperature T. i The sub-table corresponding to the closest temperature;

[0041] Step D3: Perform linear interpolation according to the following formula to obtain the predicted value of the discharge power coefficient FP at the end of the i-th interval. i :
[0042]
[0043] The aforementioned method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving also includes visually displaying the latest prediction results of steps S6 and S7 at fixed time intervals during the driving process.
[0044] Draw a straight line segment, marking the current location and destination at its starting and ending points respectively; divide this straight line segment into n equal intervals, where n is the number of intervals in step S3, and set the width of the i-th interval to SOCX. i ×W, let its grayscale value be FP. i ×100%, of which SOCX i and FP i These are the i-th corrected state-of-charge prediction value and the i-th discharge power coefficient prediction value in the prediction result sequence, respectively. W is the baseline width. 0% grayscale value is displayed as pure white, and 100% grayscale value is displayed as pure black.
[0045] In the above-mentioned method for predicting the state of a pure electric vehicle during long-distance driving, the baseline width W is between 1 cm and 10 cm.
[0046] Preferably, the above testing process involves placing the pure electric vehicle in a temperature-controlled laboratory to conduct simulated operating condition tests under the required conditions, rather than conducting relevant driving tests in a real outdoor road environment.
[0047] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a prediction device is provided for the state prediction method applied to the above-mentioned long-distance driving process of a pure electric vehicle, comprising a vehicle computer and electrically connected thereto a temperature measurement module, a nominal state-of-charge measurement module, a mileage measurement module, and a display screen, wherein:
[0048] The temperature measurement module is used to measure the ambient temperature of the pure electric vehicle in real time.
[0049] The nominal state-of-charge metering module measures the amount of charge transferred during the charging and discharging process of the battery pack of a pure electric vehicle in real time using the ampere-hour integration method.
[0050] The mileage measurement module is used to measure the driving mileage of pure electric vehicles in real time.
[0051] The display screen is used for the visualization of the state prediction results during the long-distance driving process of pure electric vehicles;
[0052] The vehicle computer includes a storage module and a computing module and a networking module electrically connected thereto. The storage module is used to store various measurement, metering, networking and calculation data. The computing module is used for calculation. The networking module is used to connect to navigation software and weather forecast software and obtain navigation and weather forecast information in real time.
[0053] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a pure electric vehicle is provided, the pure electric vehicle being equipped with the aforementioned state prediction device for long-distance driving of the pure electric vehicle.
[0054] This invention defines two parameters: nominal state of charge (SOCB) and corrected state of charge (SOCX). The former depends only on the charge on the positive and negative plates of the battery pack and is independent of external environmental factors. Regardless of the current environment of the electric vehicle, assuming it is transferred to a rated temperature environment and driven under rated operating conditions, the ratio of the maximum discharge capacity that can be released during the entire driving process to the rated capacity of the battery pack itself is the nominal SOCB. The latter considers the influence of ambient temperature on the actual discharge capacity of the battery pack and introduces a corrected capacity correction factor FQ. The corrected SOCX of the battery pack at a certain ambient temperature is the product of its nominal SOCB and the corrected capacity correction factor FQ at that temperature. It represents the ratio of the maximum actual discharge capacity that the electric vehicle can release during the entire driving process under rated operating conditions at a certain ambient temperature to the rated capacity of the battery pack itself. Typically, the end of battery pack discharge is marked by the battery pack's terminal voltage reaching its minimum permissible voltage value.
[0055] Based on the above definition, the nominal state of charge (SOCB) is used as the benchmark for intermediate calculations during the prediction process. The prediction results are then converted into the corrected state of charge (SOCX) under the specific ambient temperature and output. This makes the prediction calculation process scientific, reasonable and logically clear.
[0056] For the nominal state of charge (SOCB) at any moment during the operation of a pure electric vehicle, based on the initial nominal SOCB, the charging and discharging current of the battery pack can be monitored online. The change in charge can be statistically obtained by integrating the current over time (ampere-hour integration method) and converted into the change in nominal SOCB. Finally, the nominal SOCB at any moment can be obtained by subtracting the change in nominal SOCB from the initial nominal SOCB.
[0057] The initial nominal state of charge (SOCB) during operation can be obtained from the vehicle's computer and calibrated and corrected periodically. For example, when fully charged at the rated temperature and under the rated charging regime, its nominal SOCB can be calibrated to 100%.
[0058] Based on the above description, other advantages of the present invention are readily apparent:
[0059] 1. This invention is based on the nominal state of charge (SOCB) during driving. By connecting to navigation and weather forecast software and utilizing pre-stored data tables, it focuses on the impact of temperature changes caused by significant variations in time and geographical location during long-distance driving of pure electric vehicles on the release capacity and power of the battery pack. The prediction calculation process involves real-time updates of data input and output, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The prediction results are visualized through line segment color depth and width, providing a better user experience.
[0060] 2. The state prediction device for long-distance driving of pure electric vehicles of the present invention makes full use of the on-board computer, ambient temperature sensor and software operation and networking equipment commonly equipped in existing electric vehicles. It basically does not add new hardware, so the cost is low and it can be applied to various electric vehicles. Attached Figure Description

[0126] At 9:00 AM on a winter day, I started driving this pure electric vehicle from point A to point B, 500 km away. Before driving, the electric vehicle had been fully charged under the rated charging conditions and rated charging regime at the rated temperature, so its nominal state of charge (SOCB) was 100%.
[0127] The pure electric vehicle performs prediction and visualization operations every 1 minute during its driving process. At 9:30, the car reaches point C, which is 50km away from the starting point A. Taking this moment as an example, the relevant prediction process is introduced.
[0128] Step S1: Obtain and store the current ground temperature (i.e., C location) T0 = 16℃, the current location (C location on the navigation software map) and the current nominal state of charge of the battery pack SOCB0 = 94%.
[0129] Step S2: Calculate the decrease in state of charge q per unit distance traveled from the starting point to the current point. B = 0.12% / km.
[0130] When location C is 50km from location A, and the nominal state of charge (SOCB) of the battery pack is 100% and 94% at locations A and C respectively, the decrease in SOCB per unit distance is q. B =(100%-94%) / 50km=0.12% / km.
[0131] Step S3: Divide the path from the current location (i.e., location C) to the destination (i.e., location B) into n = 9 intervals with an equal distance. The length of each interval is ΔL = 50km, and the ending points of each interval are location C1, location C2, ..., location C8, and location B, respectively.
[0132] Step S4: By connecting to navigation and weather forecast software, predict the temperature change with travel distance during the journey from the current location to the destination: Let the predicted temperature at the end of the i-th interval be T. i This yields the predicted temperature sequence [T0, T1, T2, ..., T]. i ,…,T n ] = [16℃, 15℃, 13℃, 10℃, 11℃, 9℃, 8℃, 6℃, 5℃, 2℃], where T0 is the current local temperature, and T1 to T2 are the temperatures between T0 and T1. n The predicted temperature values are from the end point of the first interval to the end point of the nth interval.
[0133] With the help of network connectivity, the arrival times at locations C1, C2, ..., C8, and B are predicted by navigation software. Then, based on the locations and their corresponding arrival times, the above temperature prediction sequence is obtained by weather forecast software.
[0134] Step S5: Based on the temperature prediction sequence and by referring to the data table, interpolate and calculate the change of the state-of-charge correction coefficient with the travel distance during the journey from the current location to the destination, and form a state-of-charge correction coefficient prediction sequence [FQ0, FQ1, FQ2, ..., FQ]. i ..., FQ n ] = [0.948, 0.94, 0.92, 0.89, 0.9, 0.878, 0.866, 0.842, 0.83, 0.788], where FQ0 is the current ground charge state correction coefficient, and FQ1 to FQ n The predicted values of the state-of-charge correction coefficients from the end point of the first interval to the end point of the nth interval.
[0135] Taking the calculation of FQ0 at location C as an example, the temperature T0 = 16℃. Looking up the table in Table 1, the two temperatures closest to this are 15℃ and 20℃. The corresponding capacity correction factors FQ for these two temperatures are 0.94 and 0.98 respectively. Therefore, the calculation is as follows:
[0136]
[0137] Step S6: Calculate the change in corrected state of charge with distance traveled from the current location to the destination, and form a corrected state of charge prediction sequence [SOCX0, SOCX1, SOCX2, ..., SOCX]. i SOCX n ] = [89.11%, 82.72%, 75.44%, 67.64%, 63%, 56.19%, 50.23%, 43.78%, 38.18%, 31.52%], where SOCX0 is the current corrected state of charge, SOCX1 to SOCX nThe corrected state-of-charge prediction values are from the end point of the first interval to the end point of the nth interval, and the corrected state-of-charge prediction value is SOCX for the i-th interval. i The formula for calculation is:
[0138] SOCX i =FQ i ×(SOCB0-ΔL×q B ×i) (1)
[0139] In the formula, FQ i SOCB0 is the predicted value of the state-of-charge correction coefficient at the end point of the i-th interval obtained in step S4, SOCB0 is the current nominal state of charge obtained in step S1, ΔL is the interval length in step S3, and q B The decrease in state of charge per unit distance traveled, q, is obtained in step S2. B .
[0140] Taking the corrected state-of-charge prediction value SOCX1 at the end point of the first interval (C1) as an example, its calculation formula is as follows:
[0141] SOCX1=FQ1×(SOCB0-ΔL×q B ×1)=0.94×(94%-50km×0.12% / km×1)=82.72%
[0142] Step S7: Calculate the change of discharge power coefficient FP with travel distance during the journey from the current location to the destination, and form a predicted sequence of discharge power coefficient FP [FP0, FP1, FP2, ..., FP]. i , ...,FP n ] = [98.20%, 96.40%, 94.60%, 92.80%, 92.50%, 90.72%, 89.00%, 87.20%, 85.40%, 83.60%], where FP0 is the current ground discharge power coefficient, FP1 to FP n The predicted discharge power coefficient is the value from the end of the first interval to the end of the nth interval; specifically, the predicted discharge power coefficient FP is the value from the end of the i-th interval. i The calculation consists of the following sub-steps:
[0143] Sub-step S7.1: Calculate the nominal state of charge SOCB at the end of the i-th interval. i :
[0144] SOCB i =SOCB0-ΔL×q B ×i (2)
[0145] In the formula, SOCB0 is the current nominal state of charge obtained in step S1, ΔL is the interval length in step S3, and q BThe decrease in state of charge per unit distance traveled, q, is obtained in step S2. B ;
[0146] Sub-step S7.2: The nominal charged state SOCB at the end of the i-th interval point. i and temperature forecast value T i The predicted value FP of the i-th discharge power coefficient is obtained by querying the data table and interpolating. i .
[0147] Taking the predicted discharge power coefficient FP1 at the end of the first interval (location C1) as an example, firstly, calculate the nominal state of charge SOCB1 at the end of the first interval: 94% - 50km × 0.12% / km × 1 = 88%. Then, read the corresponding predicted temperature T1 = 15℃ from the result of step S4. Next, find the two closest nominal state of charge SOCB values in Table 2: 85% and 90%, with corresponding discharge power coefficients FP of 0.955 and 0.970, respectively. Then calculate:
[0148]
[0149] The above prediction results are visualized as follows: Figure 2 In this embodiment, the baseline width W on the display screen 5 is 5cm. The driver observes... Figure 2 This allows for a clear and convenient understanding of the changes in the available battery power and discharge power of a pure electric vehicle during future driving, enabling early preparation. For example, if the available battery power is low in the middle or later stages of driving, one should plan ahead to find a charging station and charge the vehicle promptly, or minimize the power consumption of the passenger cabin's air conditioning and entertainment electronic devices, prioritizing driving needs as much as possible; if the discharge power is low in the middle or later stages of driving, the vehicle's power may be limited, and aggressive driving should be avoided as much as possible.
[0150] This invention, based on the nominal state of charge (SOCB) during driving, connects to navigation and weather forecast software and utilizes pre-stored data tables to focus on the impact of temperature changes caused by significant variations in time and geographical location during long-distance driving of pure electric vehicles on the release capacity and power of the battery pack. The prediction calculation process involves real-time updates of both input and output data, ensuring accuracy and reliability. The prediction results are visualized using line segment color depth and width, providing a better user experience.
[0151] The state prediction device for long-distance driving of pure electric vehicles in this embodiment of the invention makes full use of the on-board computer, ambient temperature sensor and software operation and networking equipment commonly equipped in existing electric vehicles. It basically does not add any new hardware, so the cost is low and it can be applied to various electric vehicles.
