[0074] Example 1

[0075] The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle power management method, specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the process of applying this method to prevent the power from continuously decreasing after falling below the minimum allowable power level includes:

[0076] S1. Determine the discharge power of the battery based on the reserved power generation power of the vehicle's range extender to release the reserved power to charge the vehicle.

[0077] Before executing step S1, it is necessary to determine whether the battery level of the vehicle continues to decline after falling below the minimum allowable drop level. The specific determination process includes:

[0078] The current power level of the vehicle at the current moment is obtained as the first power level and the historical power level of the vehicle before a preset time period. By comparing the historical power level with the first power level, it can be determined whether the power level of the vehicle is decreasing, wherein the preset time period can be set according to demand, such as 1s, 2s, etc.; if the first power level is less than the historical power level, it is determined that the power level of the vehicle is continuously decreasing, otherwise it is determined that the battery of the vehicle has not decreased; further, the first power level needs to be compared with a preset threshold value. If the power level of the vehicle is continuously decreasing while the first power level is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, it is determined that the battery of the previous vehicle is continuously decreasing after being lower than the minimum allowable power level; if the preset threshold value is the set minimum allowable power level, it can be set according to the size of the battery pack equipped with different models, the type of range extender and the corresponding VTS (vehicle technical specification) target.

[0079] After determining that the battery of the vehicle continues to decline after falling below the minimum allowable drop power, the remaining battery power SOC (State Of Charge) of the current preceding vehicle is obtained, which is the above-mentioned first power; according to a predetermined mapping table of the relationship between the first power and the reserved power generation power of the range extender, the reserved power generation power of the range extender is queried; taking Table 1 as an example, the preset threshold is set to 10% at this time; where X is the first power of the vehicle, and Y is the reserved power generation power. When the power is higher than 10%, no power generation power is reserved, and the value of Y is 0. When the power is less than or equal to 10%, 5 kW is reserved for charging the battery pack, and the reserved power is increased by 1 kW for every 1% drop in power, with a maximum reserved power of 10 kW.

[0080] Table 1

[0082] Get the power P of the vehicle's generator Gcu And the discharge power P of the battery in the vehicle DisChrg , where, since the current of the generator Gcu (Generator Control Unit) is usually negative when generating electricity, the generated power P Gcu The result is a negative number, so we need to first convert the power generation P Gcu Take the smaller of the sum and 0 and then take the absolute value to get the power generation power P Gcu ; According to the power generation power of the generator and the reserved power generation power, determine the first power P1 provided by the range extender to the vehicle battery, P1 = P Gcu -P Reserve , where P Gcu is the power generated by the generator at this time, P ReserceThe reserved charging power for charging the battery pack obtained by looking up the table is P1, and the available power (i.e., the first power) provided to the battery by the range extender after deducting the reserved power is P1. DisChrg , determine the discharge power P of the battery under the action of the range extender, P = P DisChrg +P1. The battery operates according to the above calculated discharge power of the battery under the action of the range extender to ensure that the range extender can release the reserved power to the vehicle battery pack for charging first.

[0083] For example, when P DisChrg Equal to 50kw, P Gcu When the power is 50kw and Soc is 10%, P Reserve The table shows 5kw. At this time, the discharge power of the battery that can be used to drive the entire vehicle is calculated to be 95kw. That is, the reserved 5kw power generation power will not be used for the entire vehicle consumption, but will be provided to the battery pack for charging first.

[0084] S2. If the vehicle power level still decreases, the thermal management power output by the thermal management module and the driving power output by the driving module are further limited based on the preset vehicle energy management rules, and power compensation is performed to release the compensation power to charge the vehicle.

[0085] Specifically, after a preset time period, the remaining power of the vehicle at this time (i.e., the second power) is collected. If the second power is less than the first power previously obtained, it proves that after the reserved power is used to charge the vehicle, the power of the vehicle continues to decrease. At this time, the vehicle still needs to be charged to prevent the power from further decreasing. Therefore, further processing is performed based on the preset vehicle energy management rules, wherein the compensation power includes a first compensation power for limiting the release of cooling power in the thermal management power, a second compensation power for limiting the release of heating power in the thermal management power, a third compensation power for limiting the release of driving power, and a fourth management power for controlling the range extender to output at the target compensation power for release. Specifically, the processing process includes the following steps:

[0086] S21. As the power level continues to decrease, the thermal management power is gradually limited.

[0087] As the vehicle's battery level continues to decline, it is necessary to limit the thermal management power. The above thermal management power is divided into CCU (Compressor Control Unit) power and PTC power (Positive Temperature Coefficient, electric heating controller), which represent the power consumed during cooling and heating, respectively. In this implementation, they are further named cooling power and heating power.

[0088] The process of limiting thermal management power specifically includes:

[0089] Obtain the power consumption P of the vehicle's DC switching system DCDC Among them, the DC conversion system is a low-voltage electrical component of the vehicle. The vehicle's power battery pack stores high-voltage DC power. This electrical energy cannot be directly used for low-voltage equipment such as vehicle lighting, entertainment, and instruments. Therefore, a device is needed to convert high-voltage DC power into 12V low-voltage DC power to provide power for the vehicle's low-voltage equipment. This work is completed by the DCDC module in the electronic control system. DCDC can not only provide power for vehicle voltage equipment, but also charge the battery when the vehicle battery power is too low, playing the role of a "generator". According to the battery discharge power P and the DC conversion system power consumption P DCDC And the generator power P Gcu Determine the available power P for thermal management Therm , P Therm =PP DCDC -P Gcu Furthermore, the available power for thermal management can be divided into the available power for cooling P Cold and heating available power P Heat ; In general, the priority of cooling available power and heating available power is that cooling priority is higher than heating priority, so cooling available power P is allocated first. Cold , at this time P Cold =P Therm According to the ratio of the second power and the preset threshold, the first limiting coefficient k1 is determined. If the preset threshold is 10%, then The value range of k1 is [0, 1]. Get the maximum power of the vehicle's air-conditioning compressor, and calculate the maximum power of the air-conditioning compressor according to the maximum power P ccuMax and the first limiting coefficient to determine the first cooling limit power P ColdLim , P ColdLim =k1×P ccuMax ; where P ColdLim The value range is [0, P ccuMax ], and with u Cold Take the smaller one as the target cooling limit power; According to the above content, P Cold =P Therm Therefore, it can be understood that the present application limits the power P according to the first cooling ColdLim and thermal management available power P Therm and the smaller value thereof, determining the target cooling limit power; and then limiting the cooling power in the thermal management power according to the target cooling limit power to release the first compensation power to charge the vehicle, thereby preventing the vehicle power from further decreasing.

[0090] Furthermore, according to the thermal management available power P Therm / P Cold , and the actual cooling power consumption P ColdAct The difference between the first heating limit power P and the Heat , P Heat =P Cold -P ColdAct ; Get the maximum power of the vehicle's electric heating controller, and according to the maximum power P of the electric heating controller PtcMax and the first limiting coefficient k1 to determine the second heating limiting power P HeatLim , P HeatLim =k1×P PtcMax ; where P HeatLim The value range is [0, P PtcMax ]; and according to the first heating available power P Heat and the second heating limit power P HeatLim the smaller value of , determines the target heating limit power; and limits the heating power in the thermal management power according to the target heating limit power to release the second compensation power to charge the vehicle.

[0091] S22: As the battery level continues to decrease, the available driving power is further limited.

[0092] Get the actual heating power consumption P of the vehicle HeatAct ; According to the power consumption P of the DC conversion system DCDC , Actual cooling power consumption P ColdAct , Actual heating power consumption P HeatAct , the battery discharge power P and the generator power P Gcu , determine the first driving available power P Drv , where P Drv =PP DCDC -P Gcu -P ColdAct -P HeatAct ; Get the maximum output power P of the vehicle's drive motor McuMax , and determine the second drive available power P according to the maximum output power of the driving machine and the first limit coefficient k1 DrvLim , P DrvLim =k1×P McuMax , where P DrvLim The value range is [0, P McuMax ], and with P Drv Take the smaller one as the target driving available power, that is, according to the first driving available power P Drv and the second driving available power P DrvLim The target driving available power is determined by the smaller value of ; the corresponding torque control is performed according to the target driving available power to limit the driving power of the vehicle, and the third compensation power is further released to charge the vehicle.

[0093] S23. As the power level continues to decrease, power compensation is performed.

[0094] Get the actual power generation power P of the vehicle's range extender ChrgPwr And the maximum power generation power P of the range extender ChrgPwrMax , where the power generation is the result of calibration and matching based on NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness), fuel economy, and battery balance at different vehicle speeds as reference standards; the actual power generation of the range extender can be determined based on the obtained vehicle speed and the second battery level. The second limiting coefficient k2 is determined based on the difference between 2 and the ratio of the second battery level to the preset threshold. The value range of k2 is [1, 2]. According to the second limit coefficient k2 and the actual power generation power P of the range extender ChrgPwr , determine the range extender's pending compensation power P CmpPwr , P CmpPwr =k4×P ChrgPwr ; where P CmpPwr The value range is [0, P ChrgPwrMax ], and the smaller of the target compensation power and the current maximum allowable charging power of the battery is taken as the target compensation power, and the range extender is further controlled to generate electricity according to the final target compensation power to release the fourth compensation power to charge the vehicle.

[0095] It can be understood that there is no order of precedence for the above steps S21, S22, and S23. In some implementation scenarios, steps S21, S22, and S23 can be executed simultaneously; or step S21 can be executed first, then S22, and finally step S23; or step S22 can be executed first, then step S21, and finally step S23. Furthermore, in order to avoid waste of resources, one of steps S21, S22 and S23 can be executed first, and then the remaining power of the vehicle at this time is collected and compared with the remaining power collected previously. If the remaining power of the vehicle at this time is higher than the remaining power collected previously and is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, that is, the compensation power released by the step executed at this time has met the vehicle charging requirements, the vehicle's power no longer decreases, and there is no need to further execute other steps to release the compensation power; for example, in the scenario where step S21 is executed first, then S22, and finally step S23, after executing step S21, it is determined that the vehicle's power is still continuing to decrease, and step S22 is executed at this time. After executing step S22, the current power is greater than or equal to the preset threshold and no longer continues to decrease, and there is no need to execute step S23 at this time.

[0096] The vehicle power management method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle power level is lower than a certain value, reserves part of the generated power to charge the battery pack to prevent the generated power of the range extender from being completely consumed; gradually limits the thermal management power to reduce power consumption; further limits the driving power to prevent the power level from continuously decreasing; adopts a power-following power generation mode to compensate for power consumption with the generated power; effectively relieves the pressure on the vehicle battery to ensure that the power battery level does not continue to decrease; and in extreme vehicle use scenarios, slows down the rate of power decrease to ensure vehicle safety.
