[0036] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0037] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0038] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a vehicle track mode control method, apparatus, vehicle, and storage medium according to embodiments of this application. As mentioned in the background section, while some electric vehicles offer driving modes related to sport or track modes for users to set and experience, these modes lack a systematic strategy combination control method after activation. This results in the vehicle remaining in its pre-activation performance output state after activating the sport or track mode, with slow performance response. To address this problem, this invention provides a vehicle track mode control method that comprehensively enhances the maximum power output of the electric drive through torque control, thermal management, battery management, and body control in track mode, thereby satisfying the user's optimal track mode experience for spirited driving.

[0039] Specifically, embodiments of this application provide a control method for a vehicle track mode. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the vehicle track mode control method provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the control method for the vehicle track mode includes:

[0040] In step S100, after receiving the track mode activation signal, if the current state of the vehicle meets the track mode activation conditions, the vehicle enters track mode.

[0041] In one embodiment, the activation signal for the track mode can be issued by the user. The activation can be via voice interaction or through the central control screen. When the user issues the activation signal, the vehicle can be in park (P) gear. After activating track mode, switching to drive allows the vehicle to proceed. The track mode can also be activated while the vehicle is in motion. Specifically, the user can set the track mode activation conditions according to actual needs. These conditions may include battery charge, battery temperature, voltage, and gear position. For example, if the vehicle is currently in P gear, under high voltage, and meets the requirements of battery charge ≥70% and battery temperature ≥10℃, then the vehicle's current state meets the track mode activation conditions. If the vehicle's current state does not meet the track mode activation conditions, the current mode is maintained, and a message indicating unsuccessful activation can be issued. In one embodiment, after the activation signal is issued, the vehicle controller pushes a "OK" signal to the central control screen indicating whether to activate the track mode. When the user clicks "OK," the vehicle controller receives the activation signal.

[0042] During implementation, when the user clicks "OK", if the vehicle's current state meets the conditions for activating track mode, the vehicle controller (VCU) will send a "track mode ON" message to the central control screen (IVI), and the vehicle will enter track mode ON. If the user clicks "Cancel", the current mode will remain unchanged. If the vehicle's current state does not meet the conditions for activating track mode, the vehicle controller (VCU) will send a "track mode OFF" message to the central control screen (IVI), and the central control screen (IVI) will display a pop-up message reminding the user of the specific reason for the failure to enter track mode.

[0043] Once the vehicle enters track mode, the air conditioning output power will be limited, and a notification will be displayed indicating this limitation. Additionally, upon entering track mode, a battery level warning will be generated based on the battery's charge level. This warning can be customized; for example, if the battery level (set threshold) is ≤30%, a voice prompt will remind the user that performance is declining due to low battery and ask if they wish to exit track mode. The vehicle may also advise the user to drive cautiously. Furthermore, for optimal performance, the vehicle may suggest fully charging the battery and setting the battery temperature to the target level. Finally, the vehicle may warn that rapid acceleration in track mode will significantly increase energy consumption. By providing these notifications upon entering track mode, the vehicle proactively alerts the user when activating the mode, enhancing the interactive control experience and ensuring the user is promptly informed of the vehicle's current status and the precautions to take when entering track mode.

[0044] Figure 2This is a torque response time diagram. The diagram shows the torque values ​​and response times calibrated in track mode with and without regenerative braking. As the diagram shows, with regenerative braking, the torque response time when the torque crosses zero is longer compared to without it. Therefore, after entering track mode, the regenerative braking mode can be turned off, setting both coasting and braking regenerative braking to 0 at all speeds. This reduces the torque response time when the torque crosses zero, improving the vehicle's performance feedback after entering track mode.

[0045] In step S200, after the vehicle enters the track mode, torque control is performed on the vehicle according to a torque strategy, and battery power control is performed on the vehicle according to a battery power strategy. Torque control according to the torque strategy includes: acquiring the current pedal opening and the current vehicle speed, and performing torque control based on the current pedal opening and the current vehicle speed, where the current pedal opening includes the current accelerator pedal opening and the current brake pedal opening. Battery power control based on the battery power strategy includes: acquiring the current battery temperature and the current available battery charge, and determining the battery output power based on the current battery temperature and the current available battery charge. In some embodiments, the current pedal opening includes the current accelerator pedal opening and the current brake pedal opening. Torque control based on the current pedal opening and the current vehicle speed includes: if the current vehicle speed is 0, determining a first target torque based on the current accelerator pedal opening P1, the current brake pedal opening P2, and a first torque mapping relationship, and using the first target torque to control vehicle movement; wherein the first torque mapping relationship indicates the mapping relationship between the current accelerator pedal opening, the current brake pedal opening, and the first target torque. The mapping relationship between the current accelerator pedal opening, the current brake pedal opening, and the first target torque can be obtained based on actual vehicle test calibration. Specifically, when P1 = 100%,

[0046] P2 = 100%, the first target torque is close to the motor's strongest driving capability value N. max When P1 remains constant at 100%, and P2 decreases from 100% to 0%, the first target torque N1 = N. max N max Related to motor performance, for the same motor performance, there is a unique N when determining the accelerator pedal and brake pedal. max When the vehicle speed is 0 and the accelerator pedal opening is 0, the initial target torque is 0. The maximum driving capability value N of the electric motor. max The characteristics of the motor itself are determined by the signal input from the MCU controller.

[0047] In one embodiment, torque control of the vehicle according to the torque strategy further includes: when the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are pressed simultaneously, obtaining the duration of simultaneous pressing of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal, determining a torque limit coefficient based on the duration of simultaneous pressing, and updating the current torque based on the torque limit coefficient. By determining the torque limit coefficient based on the duration of simultaneous pressing and updating the current torque based on the torque limit coefficient, timeout protection is achieved when both pedals are pressed simultaneously, avoiding the problem of engine damage to motor components due to prolonged high torque operation. The upper limit of the time for simultaneous pressing of the brake and accelerator pedals is determined based on actual vehicle testing; and based on the actual vehicle test results, the torque limit value of the motor is limited by the longest allowable time. The torque limit coefficient is determined based on the duration of simultaneous pressing; the longer the duration of simultaneous pressing, the larger the torque limit coefficient, which is greater than 0 and less than 1. Specifically, when the duration t of simultaneous pressing of the brake and accelerator pedals exceeds 3 seconds, the current torque N is reduced. 当前 The torque limiting factor is based on the time the pedal is depressed: 3 < t < 10, torque limiting factor K = 0.5; t > 10, K = 0.3; the actual output torque value is N. 当前 The product of K. When the duration of simultaneous pressing exceeds the preset threshold for simultaneous pressing duration, an overtime protection prompt signal can be sent to the large screen to indicate "Simultaneous pressing of both pedals for too long, entering overtime protection".

[0048] In one embodiment, torque control of the vehicle based on the current accelerator pedal opening and the current vehicle speed includes: if the current vehicle speed is not zero, determining a second target torque based on the current accelerator pedal opening, the current vehicle speed, and a second torque mapping relationship, wherein the second torque mapping relationship indicates the mapping relationship between the current accelerator pedal opening, the current vehicle speed, and the second target torque. Specifically, in real-vehicle testing, the corresponding second target torque can be specified based on the accelerator pedal signal and vehicle speed during driving, establishing a second torque mapping relationship, which includes a graph showing the relationship between accelerator pedal opening and different vehicle speeds; for example... Figure 3 As shown, the relationship between accelerator pedal opening and closing degree and different vehicle speeds can also be obtained by fitting the corresponding second target torque according to the accelerator pedal signal and vehicle speed.

[0049] In one embodiment, specifying the corresponding second target torque based on the accelerator pedal signal and vehicle speed, and establishing the second torque mapping relationship further includes: setting according to vehicle speed and accelerator pedal opening, where vehicle speed V ranges from 0-300 km / h and accelerator pedal opening P1 ranges from 0-100%. The maximum second target torque is the motor's strongest driving capability N. max The second target torque is linearly reduced as vehicle speed increases and accelerator pedal opening decreases.

[0050] In one embodiment, torque control of the vehicle according to the torque strategy further includes: acquiring the required torque and the actual output torque, and determining the difference between the required torque and the actual output torque; determining a torque gradient parameter based on the difference, and updating the actual output torque based on the difference and the torque gradient parameter.

[0051] The torque gradient parameter for track mode is set using the following formula:

[0052] N = Min[(N1-N)] 1 / z ),M*T]+N 1 / z

[0053] Where: T is the step time; N is the actual output torque value; N1 is the required torque value; M is the gradient parameter value; N 1 / z The value is the actual torque value at the previous moment; the gradient parameter value M is the difference ΔN between the set reference torque value N1 and the actual torque value N. The larger the difference ΔN, the larger the gradient parameter value M, with a maximum of 30000. At the same time, in order to ensure the acceleration torque response requirements, the minimum gradient parameter value can be 20000.

[0054] In some embodiments, determining the battery output power based on the current battery temperature and the current available battery capacity includes: obtaining the battery's historical temperature, historical available battery capacity, and historical maximum available battery power; establishing a power mapping table based on the historical battery temperature, historical available battery capacity, and historical maximum available battery power; and obtaining the battery output power based on the current battery temperature, current available battery capacity, and the power mapping table.

[0055] The current available battery capacity can be obtained from the battery capacity, battery temperature, and a capacity mapping table. The capacity mapping table indicates the relationship between battery capacity, available battery capacity, and battery temperature. Please refer to Table 1 for the capacity mapping table. As shown in Table 1, when the battery temperature is -30℃ and the battery's available capacity (SOC) is 100%, the available discharge capacity (SOE) is 57.37%. Obtain the battery's historical temperature, historical battery capacity, and historical available battery capacity, and establish a capacity mapping table based on these data.

[0056] Table 1: Battery Discharge Capacity (SOE) (Percentage) - Battery Capacity Mapping Table

[0057]

[0058] The above-mentioned technical means are used to achieve the maximum available power of the battery in the output track mode, so as to meet the electric drive power requirements to the greatest extent.

[0059] In some embodiments, after receiving the track mode activation signal, if the vehicle's current state meets the track mode activation conditions, then after the vehicle enters track mode, the process further includes:

[0060] Thermal management control of the vehicle is implemented according to the thermal management strategy;

[0061] The thermal management control based on the thermal management strategy includes: obtaining the three-phase temperature of the motor, the motor winding temperature, the DC-DC water temperature, and the minimum speed of the electric drive circuit water pump in the track mode in the electric drive circuit corresponding to the thermal management system, and determining the speed of the electric drive circuit water pump based on the three-phase temperature of the motor, the motor winding temperature, the DC-DC water temperature, and the minimum speed.

[0062] For example, the adjustment method of the thermal management control implements the following strategy:

[0063] Thermal management strategy a) Close the active air intake grille (AGS) and limit the maximum power of the air conditioning thermal management to ≤2kW;

[0064] Thermal management strategy b: During this driving cycle, upon first entering track mode, if the battery temperature is <20℃, the battery will be rapidly heated to 20℃. If the battery temperature is >20℃, the battery cooling level will be set to L3 until the temperature drops to 20℃. Subsequently, when the battery temperature is between 28 and 35℃, the battery cooling level will be adjusted to L2. When the battery temperature is ≥36℃, the battery cooling level will be adjusted to L3 to maintain the battery temperature between 20 and 40℃, ensuring that the battery is in the optimal discharge temperature range. The higher the battery cooling level, the greater the cooling power.

[0065] Thermal control strategy c: Enhanced cooling of the electric drive circuit. Based on the water temperature and component temperatures of the electric drive circuit, the water pump speed is calculated to ensure that the components of the electric drive circuit do not overheat. The water pump control logic of the electric drive circuit is as follows:

[0066] MAX(K) speed of the electric drive circuit water pump 三相 *T 三相 K 绕组 *T 绕组 K DCDC *T DCDC D);

[0067] Where: K 三相 To determine the coefficient for the water pump in the electric drive circuit of the three-phase temperature control motor, such as 0.5, establish a table of three-phase temperature and speed of the motor, and obtain K by looking up the table. 三相 Value; T 三相 The three-phase temperature of the motor; K 绕组 To control the water pump coefficient in the electric drive circuit for motor winding temperature, such as 0.8, a table of motor winding temperature and speed is created. K is then obtained by looking up the table.绕组 Value; T 绕组 Temperature of the motor windings; K DCDC To determine the coefficient of the electric drive circuit pump for DC-DC water temperature control, such as 1.3, establish a table of DC-DC water temperature and speed, and obtain K by looking up the table. DCDC Value; T DCDC This refers to the DC-DC water temperature; D represents the minimum speed of the electric drive circuit water pump in track mode, such as 40%.

[0068] In some preferred embodiments, the torque control and thermal management control are implemented in parallel.

[0069] The vehicle body control adjustment method is as follows: After the vehicle enters track mode, the vehicle's chassis controller ESC adjusts the vehicle body posture and reduces the ground clearance to the minimum.

[0070] The vehicle theme style, vehicle sound, windows and rear spoiler adjustment methods are as follows: After the vehicle enters track mode, the background effect of the vehicle instrument panel and central control screen will switch to the theme style of track mode, the vehicle sound effect will change with the vehicle speed, the four doors of the vehicle will close and the rear spoiler will rise.

[0071] In one embodiment, after entering the track mode, the real-time battery level of the vehicle can also be obtained. When the battery level is less than or equal to a first set threshold, a vehicle performance degradation information is issued. For example, when the vehicle's battery level is ≤30%, a voice prompt is given to remind the user that the battery level is low and the performance is degraded, and asks whether to exit the track mode.

[0072] In one embodiment, upon receiving a track mode exit command, if the command meets preset conditions, an exit prompt is issued, and the vehicle exits track mode. The exit command is issued by the user based on driving needs or based on real-time vehicle conditions, for example:

[0073] Scenario 1: When the user actively clicks "Exit" on the central control screen, the vehicle controller receives the track mode exit request from the central control screen, and the vehicle exits track mode and sends a message to the central control screen that track mode has been turned off.

[0074] Scenario 2: When the vehicle's battery level is ≤30%, the voice prompt will remind the user that the battery level is low and the performance is declining. The user will ask if they want to exit track mode. If the answer is yes, the central control screen will send a message to the vehicle controller to turn off track mode after 10 seconds. The vehicle controller VCU will then send a message to the central control screen IVI to indicate that track mode is off. If the answer is no, track mode will remain on.

[0075] The vehicle track mode control method provided in this embodiment comprehensively enhances the maximum power output of the electric drive through torque control, thermal management, battery management, and body control in track mode, satisfying the user's optimal track mode experience for intense driving; it also limits the maximum power consumption of the air conditioner, improves the maximum heat dissipation performance of the electric drive and battery, and ensures the best heat dissipation effect to maximize the driving power demand; it solves the problem of slow performance response of traditional vehicles after activating track mode.

[0076] The embodiments of the present invention also provide a control device for a vehicle track mode, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the control device includes:

[0077] Activation module 100, upon receiving the track mode activation signal, if the vehicle's current state meets the track mode activation conditions, then the vehicle enters track mode; and

[0078] The control module 200 is used to control the torque of the vehicle according to the torque strategy and control the battery power of the vehicle according to the battery power strategy after the vehicle enters the track mode.

[0079] The control module 200 includes:

[0080] The torque control module 210 is used to acquire the current pedal opening and the current vehicle speed, and to perform torque control on the vehicle based on the current pedal opening and the current vehicle speed.

[0081] The battery power control module 220 is used to acquire the current battery temperature and the current available battery power, and determine the battery output power based on the current battery temperature and the current available battery power.

[0082] In some embodiments, the control device for the vehicle track mode further includes a thermal management control module 230, which is used to obtain the three-phase temperature of the motor, the motor winding temperature, the DC-DC water temperature and the minimum speed of the electric drive circuit water pump in the track mode in the electric drive circuit corresponding to the thermal management system, and to determine the speed of the electric drive circuit water pump based on the three-phase temperature of the motor, the motor winding temperature, the DC-DC water temperature and the minimum speed.

[0083] The vehicle track mode control device enables the vehicle's battery temperature and drive motor torque output to be quickly controlled to the optimal state after entering track mode, thus solving the problem of slow performance response of traditional vehicles after activating track mode.
