Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of driving energy consumption and braking energy recovery technology of new energy vehicle drive systems, and in particular relates to the testing of energy consumption in driving state and energy recovery in braking state of pure electric vehicle drive systems. Specifically, it relates to a method and system for testing the energy and efficiency of new energy vehicle drive systems. Background Technology

[0002] The driving range of new energy vehicles varies greatly under different operating conditions. This is due to two main reasons: firstly, the vehicle's overall requirements differ under different conditions; and secondly, energy consumption and powertrain efficiency vary significantly under different operating conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct precise testing on the energy management and system efficiency of the vehicle under different operating conditions.

[0003] Currently, most people believe that the energy consumption of new energy vehicles under different operating cycles depends on the battery. In reality, energy consumption under different operating cycles and how to reduce it primarily depends on the motor system and the electric drive system; the battery is only one factor affecting energy consumption. Therefore, when researching energy management under different operating cycles for new energy vehicles, it is crucial to thoroughly study the energy consumption of the electric drive system, which is also significant for more accurate estimation of remaining range. The electric drive system, including the powertrain and transmission system, is the core of new energy vehicles, comprising important components such as the battery, motor, controller, reducer, drive shaft, and brakes.

[0004] In the cyclic operation of new energy vehicles, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy for wheel-end propulsion through the electric drive system. However, not 100% of this electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy for propulsion; some energy remains unutilized. Therefore, further research is needed on the effective utilization rate of electrical energy conversion for propulsion during driving and the recovery rate of wheel-end mechanical energy converted into electrical energy for storage and reuse during regenerative braking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the above, the purpose of this invention is to propose a testing method and system for the energy and efficiency of a new energy vehicle drive system, so as to achieve a thorough research and development of the electric drive system of new energy vehicles through a rapid testing scheme.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Then, the road resistance formula F = a + bV + cV is applied. 2The relationship between vehicle speed and resistance is shown in the figure. 'a' represents a constant resistance term independent of speed (such as road friction); 'b' represents resistance related to the first-order term of speed (such as transmission resistance); and 'c' represents resistance related to the quadratic term of speed (such as wind resistance). A new quadratic function for road resistance, F′=a′+b′V+c′V, is fitted to this function. 2 And it serves as the load resistance for the test vehicle.

The cyclic test involves three regulatory cyclic tests: NEDC, WLTC, and CLTC, and each cyclic test is repeated twice.

[0049] Preferably, step 4 includes the following:

[0050] Step 4-1: Read the current I entering the drive motor assembly terminal from the power analyzer. dc Voltage U dc and power P rms ;

[0051] Step 4-2: Read the speed and torque of the CAN bus driven motor, and calculate it according to formula P. motor =Tn / 9550 to calculate the power P of its drive motor motor (T represents torque, n represents speed), record the wheel-end speed and torque of the test vehicle, and also according to the above formula P. wheel =Tn / 9550 to calculate its wheel end power P wheel ;

[0052] Preferably, step 5 includes the following:

[0053] Step 5-1: Input current I at the drive motor assembly terminal in each cycle condition dc =0 is the boundary, according to the integral formula I were obtained respectively dc When the value is greater than 0, the drive energy consumption W entering the drive motor assembly terminal is... battery1 ;I dc When <0, the braking energy recovery W battery0In the formula, t1 is the start time of the cycle; t2 is the end time of the cycle.

[0054] Step 5-2: Same as step 5-1 above, using I dc =0 is the boundary, according to the integral formula I were obtained respectively dc When >0, the mechanical work W in the driving state motor1 ;I dc When <0, the mechanical work W of the drive motor in the regenerative braking state is motor0 ;

[0055] Step 5-3: Same as Step 5-1 above, using I... dc =0 is the boundary, according to the integral formula When I dc When the energy W is greater than 0, the mechanical energy W exerted by the wheel ends in the driving state of the test vehicle is measured. wheel1 ; when I dc When <0, the wheel-end mechanical energy W of the test vehicle in regenerative braking state is... wheel0 ;

[0056] Step 5-4: In each cycle, the input current I at the drive motor assembly terminal is... dc =0 is the boundary. When I dc When the value is greater than 0, calculate the efficiency of the drive motor in the driving state. When I dc When <0, calculate the efficiency of the drive motor in the regenerative braking state.

[0057] Step 5-5: In each cycle, the input current I at the drive motor assembly terminal is... dc =0 is the boundary. When I dc When the value is greater than 0, calculate the efficiency of the drive assembly in the drive state. When I dc When <0, calculate the efficiency of the drive assembly in the regenerative braking state.

[0058] It should be noted that the four-motor test bench features high testing accuracy, wide capability coverage, customizable operating conditions, and high integration. The wheel-end torque sensors integrated into the bench further reduce pre-test preparation time. It can cover almost all the testing content of a complete new energy vehicle, eliminating the need for frequent vehicle disassembly and reassembly and the time spent searching for other related testing equipment resources, providing favorable conditions. Therefore, this testing method was chosen based on the four-motor test bench.

[0059] In addition, this invention provides a testing system for the energy and efficiency of a new energy vehicle drive system under cyclic operating conditions, based on a four-motor test bench. The system includes a four-motor test bench, a power analyzer, a current sensor, a CAN bus interface, and speed and torque sensors. The speed and torque sensors are integrated on the four-motor test bench. The current sensors are arranged on the high-voltage wiring harnesses of the vehicle's power battery and drive motor. The power analyzer is used to collect current and voltage data and calculate real-time power. The CAN bus interface is used for acquiring test data. The speed and torque sensors are used to test the speed and torque of the output shaft. The four-motor test bench is used to conduct tests on the energy management and efficiency of the drive system under cyclic operating conditions.

[0060] All the above test data are integrated into the assembly bench system and collected and recorded at the same frequency to facilitate subsequent data processing.

[0061] The above experimental methods can intuitively show the electrical energy and driving mechanical energy consumed and recovered under the two states of driving and braking recovery in cyclic operating conditions. At the same time, they can also reflect the proportion of mutual conversion between electrical energy and mechanical energy under the two states, providing strong data support for the development and research of electric drive system performance.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely illustrative and explanatory of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention to the scope of the described embodiments. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many more variations and modifications can be made based on the teachings of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
