[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle power mode switching method.

[0045] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a vehicle power mode switching method of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle power mode switching method includes:

[0046] Step S10, obtaining the battery power of the vehicle and determining the power range of the battery power.

[0047] In this embodiment, it is applied to hybrid vehicles, which generally include three power output modes: pure motor output mode, pure engine output mode and motor and engine simultaneous output mode. First, the battery power of the vehicle is obtained, and the power range of the battery power is determined, so as to adopt the corresponding vehicle power mode switching strategy according to the different power ranges of the battery power.

[0048] Step S20, when the battery power is in the first power range, if the vehicle demand power is less than the optimal power output range of the engine, the vehicle's power mode is switched to a pure motor output mode; if the vehicle demand power is in the optimal power output range of the engine, the vehicle's power mode is switched to a pure engine output mode; if the vehicle demand power is greater than the optimal power output range of the engine, the vehicle's power mode is switched to a simultaneous motor and engine output mode.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the battery power of the hybrid vehicle is in the first power range, the first power range is, for example, 35%-65%, the battery power is in a relatively sufficient state at this time. At this time, the best performance of the engine is mainly considered, that is, when the vehicle demand power has not reached the best power output range of the engine, the vehicle uses the pure motor output mode. The vehicle demand power refers to the demand power of the whole vehicle that the vehicle needs to meet, including the driver's throttle and air conditioning demand power, etc. When the vehicle demand power is in the best power output range of the engine, the vehicle uses the pure engine output mode. When the vehicle demand power is greater than the best power output range of the engine, the vehicle uses the motor and engine simultaneous output mode. In the first power range, when the vehicle uses the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the engine is output at the maximum power within the best power output range. Therefore, when the battery power is in the first power range, whether it is the pure engine output mode or the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the best performance of the engine can be fully exerted, which can make the vehicle's power mode switching scheme more economical.

[0050] Step S30, when the battery power is in the second power range, if the vehicle demand power is less than or equal to the maximum output power of the motor, the power mode of the vehicle is switched to the pure motor output mode; if the vehicle demand power is greater than the maximum output power of the motor, the power mode of the vehicle is switched to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode;

[0051] Among them, when the power mode of the vehicle is the simultaneous output mode of the motor and the engine and the battery power is in the first power range, the engine is enabled to output at the maximum power within the optimal power output range; when the power mode of the vehicle is the simultaneous output mode of the motor and the engine and the battery power is in the second power range, the motor is enabled to output at the maximum output power, and the lower limit value of the second power range is higher than the upper limit value of the first power range.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the battery power of the hybrid vehicle is in the second power range, the second power range is, for example, 65%-90%, the battery power is in the most sufficient state at this time. Since the economy of the battery is higher than that of the engine, in the second power range, the performance of the motor is fully utilized for output. Specifically, when the vehicle demand power is less than or equal to the maximum output power of the motor, the vehicle uses the pure motor output mode. When the vehicle demand power is greater than the maximum output power of the motor, the vehicle uses the motor and engine simultaneous output mode. In the second power range, when the vehicle uses the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the motor is output at the maximum output power. In the second power range, by giving priority to the motor for output and exerting the maximum performance of the motor, the vehicle's power mode switching scheme can be made more economical.

[0053] In this embodiment, the hybrid vehicle generally includes three power output modes: a pure motor output mode, a pure engine output mode, and a motor and engine simultaneous output mode. The corresponding vehicle power mode switching strategy is adopted according to the different power intervals of the battery power. When the battery power of the hybrid vehicle is in the first power interval, the first power interval is, for example, 35%-65%, the best performance of the engine is mainly considered, and the vehicle power mode is flexibly switched according to the vehicle required power and the optimal power output interval of the engine. When the battery power is in the first power interval, whether it is a pure engine output mode or a motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the best performance of the engine can be fully utilized, which can make the vehicle power mode switching scheme more economical. When the battery power of the hybrid vehicle is in the second power interval, the second power interval is, for example, 65%-90%, the performance of the motor is fully utilized for output, and the vehicle power mode is flexibly switched according to the vehicle required power and the maximum output power of the motor. By giving priority to using the motor for output and exerting the maximum performance of the motor, the vehicle power mode switching scheme can also be more economical. By flexibly switching the vehicle's power mode according to the battery power range, the engine's optimal power output range and the motor's maximum output power to meet the vehicle's power requirements and fully utilizing the battery power and the engine and motor's optimal performance, the battery's charge and discharge times can be reduced and the battery life can be increased. By keeping the engine in the optimal working range more often and the battery power in the optimal range more often, the vehicle's energy consumption can be better reduced, making the vehicle's power mode switching solution more economical.

[0054] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a switching process flow of an embodiment of a vehicle power mode switching method of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle power mode switching method also includes:

[0055] Step S01, when the power mode of the vehicle is switched from the pure motor output mode to the pure engine output mode, or from the pure motor output mode to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, a preset speed difference is determined according to the slope of the road on which the vehicle is traveling;

[0056] Step S02, if the vehicle is traveling uphill, when the engine speed is greater than the motor speed, and the difference between the engine speed and the motor speed is less than a preset speed difference, and the motor speed is greater than the engine idle speed, the clutch is controlled to engage;

[0057] Step S03, if the vehicle is traveling downhill, the clutch is controlled to engage when the engine speed is less than the motor speed, and the difference between the motor speed and the engine speed is less than the preset speed difference, and the engine speed is greater than the engine idle speed.

[0058] In this embodiment, it should be noted that when the vehicle uses the pure motor output mode, the vehicle's clutch is in a disengaged state, and when the vehicle uses the pure engine output mode or the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the vehicle's clutch is in an engaged state. Therefore, when the vehicle's power mode is switched from the pure motor output mode to the pure engine output mode, or from the pure motor output mode to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, the clutch engagement process is involved. In order to improve the smoothness of the vehicle's power mode switching process and avoid damage to the clutch due to a large difference between the engine speed and the motor speed, the clutch should be engaged as much as possible when the engine speed and the motor speed are consistent. The clutch is engaged, which is specifically divided into two different situations: uphill driving and downhill driving. When the vehicle is driving uphill, the engine speed is higher than the motor speed and the clutch is engaged. When the vehicle is driving downhill, the engine speed is lower than the motor speed and the clutch is engaged. The greater the slope, the greater the preset speed difference. The preset speed difference can be determined by the following formula: preset speed difference = 50*slope coefficient. The slope coefficient can be calibrated according to the slope size. The range of the slope coefficient is between 0 and 1, so that the vehicle can switch the power mode when driving on different slopes with better smoothness and better protect the clutch from damage.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle power mode switching method further includes:

[0060] When the vehicle's power mode is switched from pure motor output mode to pure engine output mode, the motor stops outputting power when the motor lifts the engine to the optimal power output range.

[0061] In this embodiment, when the vehicle's power mode is switched from a pure motor output mode to a pure engine output mode, it involves the process of the motor lifting the engine and the motor stopping output. When the motor lifts the engine to the optimal power output range, the motor output power is stopped, which can improve the smoothness of the vehicle's power mode switching process and improve fuel economy.

[0062] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle power mode switching method further includes:

[0063] In the process of switching the power mode of the vehicle from the pure engine output mode to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, obtaining an increase value of the vehicle demand power;

[0064] The increase in the vehicle's required power is met by increasing the motor's output power;

[0065] When the absolute value of the difference between the target output power and the actual output power of the engine is smaller than the preset fluctuation value, the output power ratio of the motor and the engine is restored to a normal ratio.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the power mode of the vehicle is switched from the pure engine output mode to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, it is usually the case that the vehicle's power demand increases. At this time, the vehicle has a large power demand. First, the increase in the vehicle's power demand is obtained. Since the response time of the engine is usually about 1 second slower than the response time of the motor, and the motor usually responds in milliseconds, the motor's fast response characteristics are utilized to increase the motor output power to quickly meet the increase in the vehicle's power demand. This can improve the vehicle's power and ensure the vehicle's acceleration capability. At the same time, it can also make the engine more in a steady-state operating condition. When the absolute value of the difference between the target output power and the actual output power of the engine is less than the preset fluctuation value, for example, when the difference between the target output power and the actual output power of the engine is within ±3%, it means that the engine's response has entered a stable state. At this time, the output power ratio of the motor and the engine is restored to the normal ratio, which is the normal output power ratio of the motor and the engine in the motor and engine simultaneous output mode.

[0067] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle power mode switching method further includes:

[0068] In the process of the vehicle's power mode switching from pure motor output mode to simultaneous motor and engine output mode, or from pure engine output mode to simultaneous motor and engine output mode, or from pure motor output mode to pure engine output mode, or from pure engine output mode to pure motor output mode, or from simultaneous motor and engine output mode to pure motor output mode, or from simultaneous motor and engine output mode to pure engine output mode, the difference between the vehicle's required power and the actual output power of the engine is met by adjusting the motor output power.

[0069] In this embodiment, the motor's fast response characteristic is also utilized. During the switching of various vehicle power modes, the motor is used to quickly respond to the difference between the vehicle's required power and the engine's actual output power. This process can be closed-loop controlled using control methods such as PID to avoid insufficient or excessive vehicle power due to slow engine response and power mode switching during the switching of vehicle power modes, thereby making the vehicle power mode switching process smoother.

[0070] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Another flowchart of an embodiment of the vehicle power mode switching method of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle power mode switching method also includes:

[0071] Step S40, when the battery power is in the third power range, switching the vehicle power mode to a mode of pure engine output while charging the battery, and reducing the output power of the air-conditioning compressor to a preset power;

[0072] Step S50, when the battery power is in the fourth power interval, the vehicle power mode is switched to the pure engine output mode, the upper limit value of the fourth power interval is lower than the lower limit value of the first power interval, and the upper limit value of the third power interval is lower than the lower limit value of the fourth power interval.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the battery power is in the third power interval, such as 15-25%, the battery power is at its lowest state at this time. The power output of the engine is used to charge the battery in addition to meeting the power demand of the vehicle. The output power of the air-conditioning compressor is controlled to be reduced to a preset power, such as 50% of the rated power, to avoid affecting the charging of the battery. When the battery power is in the fourth power interval, such as 25-35%, the battery power is at a lower state at this time, and the pure engine output mode is used preferentially. Through the division of the first, second, third and fourth power intervals, according to the power interval of the battery power, the optimal power output interval of the engine and the maximum output power of the motor, the power mode of the vehicle is flexibly switched to meet the power demand of the vehicle, and the battery power, the optimal performance of the engine and the motor are fully utilized, so that the power mode switching scheme of the vehicle can be made more economical.

[0074] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle power mode switching device.

[0075] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a functional module diagram of an embodiment of a vehicle power mode switching device of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle power mode switching device includes:

[0083] If the vehicle is traveling downhill, the clutch is controlled to engage when the engine speed is less than the motor speed, and the difference between the motor speed and the engine speed is less than the preset speed difference, and the engine speed is greater than the engine idle speed.

[0084] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle power mode switching device further includes a fourth switching module, which is used to:

[0085] When the vehicle's power mode is switched from pure motor output mode to pure engine output mode, the motor stops outputting power when the motor lifts the engine to the optimal power output range.

[0087] In the process of switching the power mode of the vehicle from the pure engine output mode to the motor and engine simultaneous output mode, obtaining an increase value of the vehicle demand power;

[0089] When the absolute value of the difference between the target output power and the actual output power of the engine is smaller than the preset fluctuation value, the output power ratio of the motor and the engine is restored to a normal ratio.

[0090] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the vehicle power mode switching device further includes a sixth switching module, which is used to:

[0091] In the process of the vehicle's power mode switching from pure motor output mode to simultaneous motor and engine output mode, or from pure engine output mode to simultaneous motor and engine output mode, or from pure motor output mode to pure engine output mode, or from pure engine output mode to pure motor output mode, or from simultaneous motor and engine output mode to pure motor output mode, or from simultaneous motor and engine output mode to pure engine output mode, the difference between the vehicle's required power and the actual output power of the engine is met by adjusting the motor output power.
