[0072] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0073] As shown in Figure 1 , the embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid system based on P1 configuration, which comprises a hybrid controller, an engine 1, and a power battery 4. The engine 1 is connected with an electronic water pump 3 and a motor 2. The output shaft of the engine 1 and the center of the motor 2 are coaxial. The motor 2 is connected with a clutch 5, the center of which is coaxial with the axis of the motor 2. The clutch 5 is connected with a gearbox 6. The output shaft of the gearbox 6 is connected with a transmission shaft in the form of flange. The transmission shaft is connected with a retarder 7, and then the power is transmitted to the tires of the axle;

[0074] The motor 2 is connected with a motor controller 9. The power battery 4 is connected with the motor controller 9 and the electronic water pump 3 through a high-voltage distribution box 8. The hybrid controller is connected with the motor controller 9 and the high-voltage distribution box 8.

[0075] When the power battery 4 discharges, the current flows to the high-voltage distribution box 8. When the hybrid controller judges that power supply is needed, it controls the high-voltage distribution box switch to be opened to supply power to the motor controller 9 and the electronic water pump 3 respectively. The motor controller 9 converts the direct current output by the high-voltage distribution box into three-phase current to control the motor 2 to operate. When the power battery needs to be charged, the current flows in the opposite direction. The hybrid controller controls the rotating speed of the electronic water pump 3 according to the state of the vehicle. The vehicle platform adopts P1 configuration 48V coaxial motor scheme. Compared with the eccentric structure, the coaxial scheme is more compact, and the energy transmission loss is reduced. At the same time, the motor, the power battery, and the electronic water pump are all 48V platforms, which omits the DCDC device voltage conversion and reduces the energy consumption loss caused by the DCDC device.

[0076] It needs to be explained that the right side of the 48V motor is connected with the motor controller, the high-voltage distribution box, and the power battery, etc. The 75 flat three-phase cable is used to connect between the motor and the motor controller, and the copper bolt is used to fix the cable at both ends. The high-voltage distribution box is connected at the other end of the motor controller, and the current is within 1000A, so the model of the middle cable is a 100 flat wire harness with positive and negative, and the copper nose at both ends of the wire harness is also connected through the copper bolt. The positive and negative 100 flat wire harness is used to connect between the high-voltage distribution box and the power battery. The 25 flat positive and negative wire harness is used to connect between the high-voltage distribution box and the electronic water pump. The charging and discharging process is as follows:

[0077] When the power battery is discharged, at this time, the current flows from the battery simulator to the high-voltage distribution box, and the HCU judges whether the high-voltage distribution box judges to supply power to the electronic water pump and the 48V motor. When power supply is needed, the high-voltage distribution box will open the switch current to flow to the motor controller and the electronic water pump respectively. The motor controller converts the received direct current into three-phase current to control the motor to operate. When the power battery needs to be charged, the current flows in the opposite direction.

[0078] In front of the engine, there is an electronic water pump, which replaces the original mechanical water pump position, and is fixed by bolts. The original flywheel shell is removed at the rear of the engine, and is replaced by a 48V motor with a flywheel shell, which is fixed by long bolts. The length of the flywheel shell is increased by 110mm, and the output shaft of the engine and the center of the motor are coaxial, which ensures compact structure. The clutch is connected behind the 48V motor, and the center of the clutch is also coaxial with the center of the 48V motor shaft. The transmission box is connected behind the clutch, and the output shaft of the transmission box is connected to the transmission shaft through the flange. The differential is connected behind the transmission shaft, and then the power is transmitted to the axle tires, etc.

[0079] As shown in Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a hybrid power system electronic water pump control method based on P1 configuration, the system is the system described in the above embodiment, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0080] Step 1: Collecting vehicle signals to judge the vehicle state;

[0081] Step 2: Calculating the target speed of the electronic water pump under different vehicle states;

[0082] Step 3: Sending the calculated target speed to the water pump controller of the electronic water pump;

[0083] Step 4: The water pump controller controls the electronic water pump to switch according to the received target speed;

[0084] Step 5: Obtaining the actual speed of the electronic water pump;

[0085] Step 6: Compare the actual speed of the electronic water pump with the set target speed;

[0086] Step 7: Determine the fault level of the electronic water pump according to the comparison result.

[0087] The appropriate target setting speed of the electronic water pump is given for different operating conditions of the vehicle and the engine. The electronic water pump is controlled through CAN communication, and the related parameters of the electronic water pump such as the water pump stator temperature, the current actual speed of the water pump are monitored. By setting the speed and the actual speed, two levels of fault levels are set according to the deviation. It is further pointed out that the steps of calculating the target speed of the electronic water pump under different vehicle states include:

[0088] When the vehicle is in normal mode, the target speed of the electronic water pump is calculated according to the vehicle state;

[0089] When the vehicle is in regenerative mode, the target speed of the electronic water pump is set according to the regenerative stage. The engine operating state includes five cases: (0) standby state, (1) key-on but not started, (2) engine start, (3) engine running state, (4) engine stop state, and (5) engine stop and power-off state. The engine ECU sends CAN messages (vehicle speed signal and engine operating state) to the hybrid controller HCU.

[0090] In the HCU, the vehicle operating condition is determined according to the vehicle speed and the engine operating state, such as vehicle speed VehV_V = 0 km / h and engine operating state CoEng_st = 0 / 1 / 4 / 5, then the vehicle is in parking state M0; when VehV_V = 0 km / h and CoEng_st = 2 (COENG_RUNNING, i.e. engine running), the vehicle is in start state M1, and when vehicle speed VehV_V is not equal to 0 km / h and CoEng_st = 3, the vehicle is in M2 driving state.

[0091] The vehicle start-stop and driving modes M0 / M1 / M2 all belong to the vehicle Normal mode. When the vehicle starts the parking regenerative start button, the vehicle and the engine will enter the parking regenerative mode Rgn.

[0092] When the vehicle is in normal mode, the target speed of the electronic water pump is calculated according to the vehicle state, which includes the following steps:

At this time, the rotating speed of the electronic water pump can be set as WaPmp_nEngM1=500 (r / min) ;

[0095] As shown in the figure, when judging the whole vehicle running state, the electronic water pump normally runs, and the target rotating speed of the electronic water pump is calculated. Specifically, it includes: Figure 3

The specific implementation steps are as follows: Wherein EngTemp1 is the engine water temperature, which can be sent from the engine controller ECU to the hybrid controller HCU through CAN message, and then the HCU calculates the required water pump rotating speed WaPmp_nEngTemp1 through internal table lookup. This value can be sent from the HCU to the electronic water pump MCU through the CAN message format, and the electronic water pump will execute according to the instruction.

[0116] Specifically, when the engine is in the urea tank non-heating state, WaPmp_nUHtrTnk=0 at this time, and the state quantity is set through the CAN message format and sent from the ECU to the HCU. The electronic water pump speed demand is WaPmp_nUHtrTnkOff_C=0 in the heating state, and when WaPmp_nUHtrTnk=1, the electronic water pump speed is WaPmp_nUHtrTnkOn_C=3400(r / min).

[0126] Obtain the electronic water pump cooperative vehicle demand required electronic water pump speed;

[0127] Select the maximum speed of the first speed and the electronic water pump cooperative vehicle demand required electronic water pump speed;

[0128] The maximum speed and the electronic water pump physical limit speed at the current temperature are taken as the target speed of the electronic water pump.

[0129] The electronic water pump demand speed calibration ends, and different input electronic water pump speeds are coordinated and limited. The maximum value of the above nine input demand speeds is taken, and the electronic water pump speed limit (physical limit) at the current temperature is taken to calculate the final electronic water pump target speed WaPmp_nEngDmd_Nromal.

[0130] When the vehicle is in the regeneration state, the combustible aftertreatment large bag area carbon can be burned, and the engine exhaust is smooth. At this time, the electronic water pump control mode will also enter the Rgn mode (the specific steps are that the vehicle presses the parking regeneration button, and the engine will automatically judge whether it can enter the parking regeneration according to the carbon amount, clutch, water temperature and other ten conditions. When entering, the state observation quantity of entering the parking regeneration will be given. The state observation quantity information can be sent from the ECU to the HCU through the CAN message). The electronic water pump speed will be set to different water pump speeds WaPmp_nRgnX according to different stages of parking regeneration. The steps of setting the target speed of the electronic water pump according to the regeneration stage include:

[0131] When the vehicle is in the regeneration mode, the engine speed climbs to the first set value, and is in the regeneration R1 stage. The electronic water pump speed required in the regeneration R1 stage is obtained. In the regeneration stage R1, the engine speed climbs to 1200r / min, the exhaust emission temperature rises to 200℃, and the electronic water pump target speed is WaPmp_nRgn1=1400r / min.

[0132] The electronic water pump speed required in the regeneration R1 stage is taken as the target speed of the electronic water pump by taking the minimum value of the electronic water pump physical limit speed at the current temperature. In the regeneration stage R2, the engine speed is raised to 1500r / min, the exhaust emission temperature is raised to 300℃, and the electronic water pump target speed WaPmp_nRgn2=1700r / min.

[0133] When the engine speed climbs to the second set value, it is in the regeneration R2 stage, and the electronic water pump speed required in the regeneration R2 stage is obtained. In the regeneration stage R3, the engine speed is further increased to 1700r / min, and the engine aftertreatment HCI sprays oil to burn the exhaust pipe. The temperature of the burned exhaust gas can be above 400℃. At this time, the aftertreatment will chemically react with the carbon particles, and the regeneration starts. The carbon particles are converted into carbon dioxide. In this stage, the electronic water pump target speed is WaPmp_nRgn3=2000r / min.

[0134] In the regeneration stage R4, after the regeneration is completed, the carbon amount is removed. At this time, the electronic water pump target speed WaPmp_nRgn4=2000r / min is set for the aftertreatment large bag to cool for ten minutes.

[0135] The appropriate water pump target setting speed is given for different operating conditions of the vehicle and the engine, the electronic water pump is controlled through CAN communication, and the related parameters of the electronic water pump are monitored, such as the water pump stator and rotor temperature, and the current actual speed of the water pump. By comparing the set speed and the actual speed, two levels of fault are set according to the deviation level. The specific steps are as follows:

[0136] When the vehicle is in normal mode, the difference between the current actual speed of the electronic water pump and the target speed set at present and the ratio of the target speed set at present are calculated;

[0137] When the ratio is less than or equal to the first threshold value, the electronic water pump is reported to be fault-free;

[0138] When the ratio is greater than the first threshold value and less than or equal to the second threshold value, the electronic water pump is reported to have a first level fault;

[0139] When the ratio is greater than the second threshold value, the electronic water pump is reported to have a second level fault.

[0140] When |(Wapmp_nAct-WaPmp_nDem_Normal)| / WaPmp_nDem_Normal≤5%, it is in the reasonable speed stage, and the fault-free Wapmp_Eor_lv=0.

[0141] When 5%<|(Wapmp_nAct-WaPmp_nDem_Normal)| / WaPmp_nDem_Normal≤10%, a first level fault is reported Wapmp_Eor_lv=1.

[0142] When |(Wapmp_nAct-WaPmp_nDem_Normal)| / WaPmp_nDem_Normal>10%, a second level fault is reported Wapmp_Eor_lv=2.

[0143] Where Wapmp_nAct is the current actual operating speed of the engine electronic water pump.

[0144] LEVEL1: This level of fault only indicates that the water pump speed deviation is small, which needs attention, but this fault will not affect the use. The water pump controller will not limit the motor torque or power because of this. After the fault disappears, the hybrid controller can reduce the fault level to Wapmp_Eor_lv=0.

[0145] LEVEL2: This level of fault indicates that the motor speed deviates greatly from the set speed, and the torque or power needs to be reduced according to the situation, and the engine torque is limited according to the water temperature to prevent the engine from overheating. After the fault disappears, the hybrid controller can reduce the fault level to Wapmp_Eor_lv=0.

Various equivalent modifications or changes in the application can be made all of which fall within the scope of the present application. Any modifications or changes in the application should be construed as falling within the scope of the present application. The scope of the application should be determined by the appended claims.
