Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a fault diagnosis method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hybrid electric vehicles are generally divided into multiple operating modes, such as pure electric driving mode, engine-only driving mode, series driving mode, parallel driving mode, idling charging mode, etc. As a key component of the power system of a hybrid electric vehicle, the clutch plays an important role in mode switching and directly affects the driving performance and safety performance of the vehicle.

[0003] In the use of the clutch, the vehicle control logic will take various active protection measures to prevent clutch failure under different working conditions, such as start control based on adaptive adjustment of clutch torque based on actual engine response, dual-mass flywheel resonance identification protection, engine anti-flameout protection, etc. Although the active protection measures of the clutch largely avoid clutch failure, it is still impossible to completely avoid clutch failure in actual use. In order to avoid clutch failure causing clutch sticking, ablation, and even gearbox unable to shift, etc., the clutch needs to be diagnosed for failure and corresponding passive protection actions need to be performed.

[0004] The existing clutch sticking diagnosis methods are mainly divided into two categories. One is to determine that the clutch is stuck when the clutch transmission torque is lower than the engine output torque, the engine speed change rate is determined, and the engine actual speed change rate is lower than the engine theoretical speed change rate, and the engine theoretical speed change rate is obtained by the difference between the engine output torque and the clutch transmission torque divided by the engine inertia. If the vehicle is not equipped with a clutch torque sensor, the accuracy of the clutch torque obtained by the torque model is not high, so it is easy to cause misjudgment, so this method is only suitable for vehicles equipped with a clutch torque sensor. The other is to determine that the clutch is stuck when the engine torque is less than the shutdown torque and the engine speed and the clutch driven end speed difference are determined, and when the two are close, the clutch is determined to be stuck. This method can only determine the sticking torque greater than the engine friction torque and cannot identify smaller sticking torque. SUMMARY

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 2 As shown in the schematic diagram of the configuration of the hybrid power system provided by the embodiment of the present application, it includes an engine 1, a clutch 2, a first synchronizer 4, a second synchronizer 7, a transmission input shaft 9, an output shaft 11, an intermediate shaft 23, a third synchronizer 15, a main reducer 17, a driving motor 24, and transmission gears 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25. The engine 1 and the transmission input shaft 9 are connected through the clutch 2.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, specifically, in the pure electric mode, the clutch 2 is opened, the engine 1 is disconnected with the transmission input shaft 9, the vehicle is driven to travel by relying on the driving motor 24, and the motor shaft (i.e. the intermediate shaft 23) and the input shaft 9 are all in gear. In the parallel mode, the clutch 2 is closed, the engine 1 and the driving motor 24 jointly drive the vehicle to travel, and the motor shaft and the input shaft 9 are all in gear. In the idling charging mode, the engine 1 torque is controlled, the motor 24 speed is controlled, the engine outputs positive torque, the motor outputs negative torque to charge the power battery, and the power transmission between the engine and the driving motor relies on the charging gear.

[0057] S102, preliminarily judge whether there is a possibility of clutch sticking according to the parameters of the first working mode.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, according to the characteristics of different working modes, the applicable clutch sticking preliminary judgment method is implemented to preliminarily judge whether there is a possibility of clutch sticking, referring to Figure 3 The flowchart of another fault diagnosis method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0059] S1021, if the first working mode is pure electric mode, and if the shifting force during the synchronization phase is greater than the first preset force, it is preliminarily determined that there is a possibility of clutch sticking.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the first operating mode is pure electric mode, the clutch is open and the engine is off. This can be determined by whether the shifting force during the synchronization phase is abnormal. Specifically, if the shifting force during the synchronization phase is greater than a first preset force, it is preliminarily determined that there is a possibility of clutch sticking. The first preset force is determined based on the first operating parameters at the first moment, and the first operating parameters include J, α, k, and F. Detent , and F ofst .

[0061] This step can be expressed by the formula:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, F sync The shifting force during the synchronization phase acts on the synchronizer's shift fork; The first preset force; J is the synchronous rotational inertia; α is the rate of change of the input shaft speed converted to the synchronous end; k is the conversion coefficient between frictional torque and frictional force, determined by the synchronizer parameters; F Detent The force required to overcome the resistance of gear control; For the efficiency of the gear shifting mechanism; F ofst The positive value is determined during the actual vehicle development process.

[0064] S1022, if the first working mode is a parallel mode, the clutch is opened, the gearbox input shaft is shifted up, the engine fuel is cut off, and the speed changes. If the shifting force during the synchronization phase is greater than the second preset force and / or the engine speed change rate is less than the first preset change rate, then it is preliminarily determined that there is a possibility of clutch sticking.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the first operating mode is parallel mode, the clutch is closed and the engine is running. The engine speed change rate can be used to determine if it is abnormal. Specifically, if during upshifting at the transmission input shaft and engine fuel cut-off, the shifting force during the synchronization phase is greater than a second preset force and / or the engine speed change rate is less than a first preset change rate, then it is preliminarily determined that there is a possibility of clutch sticking. The second preset force is determined based on the first operating parameters at the first moment, which include J, α, k, and F. Detent , and F ofst The first preset rate of change is determined based on the second operating parameter at the first moment. The second operating parameter includes T. fric J eng and ω ofst .

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, if the shift force in the synchronization stage is greater than the second preset force, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking, and this step is expressed by a formula as follows:

[0067]

[0068] Wherein, F sync is the shift force in the synchronization stage, acting on the yoke of the synchronizer; is the second preset force; J is the synchronization rotational inertia; a is the input shaft speed change rate converted to the synchronization end; k is the friction torque and friction force conversion coefficient, determined by the synchronizer parameters; F Detent is the force required to overcome the resistance in the gear control; is the shift mechanism efficiency; F ofst is a positive value determined in real vehicle development.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, if the engine speed change rate is less than the first preset change rate, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking, and this step is expressed by a formula as follows:

[0070] |ω eng |<|T fric / J eng |-ω ofst

[0071] Wherein, ω eng is the engine speed change rate in the upshift speed regulation process or the engine shutdown process; |T fric / J eng |-ω ofst is the first preset change rate; T fric is the engine friction torque, related to temperature and pump loss, obtained by engine self-learning correction; J eng is the engine rotational inertia; ω ofst is a positive value determined in calibration.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, if the first working mode is switched from the parallel mode to the pure electric mode, and the engine speed change rate is less than the second preset change rate during the engine fuel cut shutdown process, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, if the first working mode is switched from the parallel mode to the pure electric mode, and the control clutch is switched from closed to open, and the engine speed change rate is less than the second preset change rate during the engine fuel cut shutdown process, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking. The second preset change rate is determined according to the second working parameter at the first time, and the second working parameter includes T fric and Jeng and ω ofst .

[0074] The step is expressed by the formula:

[0075] |ω eng |<|T fric / J eng |-ω ofst

[0076] Wherein, ω eng is the rate of change of engine speed during the upshift speed regulation process or the engine shutdown process; |T fric / J eng |-ω ofst is the second preset rate; T fric is the friction torque of the engine, which is related to temperature and pump loss and is obtained by self-learning correction of the engine; J eng is the rotational inertia of the engine; ω ofst is a positive value of the calibration.

[0077] S103, determining a second working mode of the hybrid vehicle at a second time, and determining whether clutch sticking occurs according to parameters of the second working mode.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present application, after preliminarily judging the possibility of clutch sticking, whether clutch sticking occurs is determined according to parameters in different working modes by using corresponding clutch sticking diagnosis methods, for reference Figure 4 is a flowchart of another fault diagnosis method provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0079] S1031, if the second working mode is the parallel mode, the torque of the engine and the clutch is removed, and after the actual torque of the clutch is zero, the engine is controlled to enter the idle control mode and the input shaft of the gearbox is shifted to the neutral gear; after a preset time, if the speed of the input shaft of the gearbox is greater than a first speed, it is determined that the clutch is stuck.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle is in the running state, if the current is the parallel mode, the torque of the engine and the clutch needs to be removed, the clutch is controlled to be opened, and after the actual torque of the clutch is zero, the engine is controlled to enter the idle control mode and the input shaft is shifted to the neutral gear. After a preset time, if the speed of the input shaft of the gearbox cannot drop below the first speed, it is determined that the clutch is stuck. The actual torque of the clutch is calculated by a clutch torque model,

[0081] S1032, if the second working mode is the pure electric mode, the input shaft of the gearbox is controlled to be shifted to the neutral gear; if the difference between the actual drop rate and the theoretical drop rate of the speed of the input shaft of the gearbox is greater than a preset difference, it is determined that the clutch is stuck.

[0083] The formula of the step is:

[0084] |ω 实际 |-|ω 理论 |>ω0

[0085] Wherein, ω 实际 is the actual speed drop rate of the input shaft of the gearbox, ω 理论 is the theoretical speed drop rate of the input shaft of the gearbox, which is determined by the drag torque and the moment of inertia of the input shaft and the driven disc of the clutch in the neutral state, and is obtained by trial development, and ω0 is the preset difference, which is a positive value.

[0086] In S1033, if the second working mode is the parking mode, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the idle charging mode, the speed difference between the driving end and the driven end of the clutch is zero, the torque of the engine and the clutch is removed, after the actual torque of the clutch is zero, the engine speed is controlled to rise, and if the torque of the engine is greater than the preset torque, it is determined that the clutch is stuck.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is in the parking state, the clutch needs to be closed, the engine is started by using the charging gear, the vehicle enters the idle charging mode, the clutch is in the closed state, the engine torque is controlled, and the motor speed is controlled, at this time, the speed difference between the driving end and the driven end of the clutch is zero, then the torque of the clutch and the engine is removed, the clutch is controlled to be opened, after the actual torque calculated by the clutch torque model is zero, the engine speed is controlled to be synchronized with the input shaft speed, then the engine torque is controlled to rise at an interval of 1 Nm each time, until the obvious speed difference between the driving end and the driven end of the clutch appears, if the torque of the engine is greater than the preset torque, it is determined that the clutch is stuck, and the torque of the engine at this time is recorded as the sticking torque of the clutch.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, after it is determined that the clutch is stuck, the input shaft of the gearbox can be controlled to be in the neutral state, and the vehicle is controlled to enter the pure electric driving mode.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present application, after it is determined that the clutch is stuck, the clutch sticking fault is reminded. Specifically, the hybrid fault light is lighted in the instrument panel, the clutch sticking fault is recorded, and the driver is reminded to repair as soon as possible.

[0090] The embodiment of the present application provides a fault diagnosis method, determines a first working mode of a hybrid vehicle at a first moment; if the first working mode is a pure electric mode, if a gear shifting force in a synchronization stage is greater than a first preset force, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking; if the first working mode is a parallel mode, the clutch is controlled to be opened, the input shaft of the gearbox is controlled to be shifted up, the engine is controlled to be cut off, the speed is changed, if the gear shifting force in the synchronization stage is greater than a second preset force and / or the speed change rate of the engine is less than a first preset change rate, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking; if the first working mode is switching from the parallel mode to the pure electric mode, in the process of cutting off the engine and stopping the engine, the speed change rate of the engine is less than a second preset change rate, it is preliminarily judged that there is a possibility of clutch sticking.
