[0002] With energy shortages and environmental pollution becoming increasingly prominent, electric vehicles powered by batteries represent the inevitable trend in automotive reform and replacement. However, for heavy-duty trucks requiring long-distance travel, current battery technology struggles to meet their demands. Therefore, hybrid systems are the best option for trucks in this context, fully utilizing the energy generated by the engine while also satisfying their range requirements. Currently, most trucks worldwide are equipped with transmissions that inevitably experience power interruptions during gear shifts, leading to vehicle jerking, and may encounter insufficient reverse power output in challenging road conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hybrid power transmission system and its control method suitable for heavy-duty trucks. This transmission system features high power transmission efficiency and diverse transmission routes. Its control method can solve the problems of vehicle jerking during gear shifts and insufficient power during reverse gear.

[0004] The technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:

[0072] When performing motor torque control, the actual power system exhibits numerous nonlinearities, including the system's inherent nonlinear stiffness and damping characteristics, as well as external influencing factors such as ambient temperature. Therefore, the system controller requires good robustness. Here, nonlinear sliding mode control is employed, where the target torque that the motor needs to track is x. d (t), where the difference between the target torque being tracked and the current output torque of the motor is e(t);

[0073] e(t) = x d (txt)

[0074] The auxiliary controller is u aux (t):

[0075]

[0076] ρ is the upper bound of the interference, and ε is the up-frequency coefficient (ε > 0).

[0078]

[0079] u(t) is the output of the control, e(t) is the deviation value input to the controller, and k is the proportional gain coefficient.

[0080] When the transmission shifts gears and the power input from the engine is interrupted, the electric motor increases its output torque and takes over the power output from the engine for a short period of time, thereby reducing or even eliminating vehicle jerking caused by power interruption during gear shifting.

[0081] The torque that the motor needs to compensate for during gear shifts in each gear. The engine's output torque T1 at the flange can be calculated using the following formula:

[0082] T1 = T m ×i m ×η

[0083] T m For engine output torque; i mη is the speed ratio of the engine power transmission route; η is the transmission efficiency.

[0084] The output torque T2 of the motor at the flange can be calculated using the following formula:

[0085] T2 = T c ×i c ×η

[0086] T c i represents the output torque of the motor. c η is the speed ratio of the motor power transmission route; η is the transmission efficiency.

[0087] Total output torque T out It can be calculated using the following formula:

[0088] T out =T1+T2

[0089] When the transmission is in first gear and a gear change is needed, the output motor needs to output torque T. r1 Calculated using the following formula 2.1;

[0090]

[0091] i c1 The transmission ratio of the motor power output route of the transmission when it is in first gear;

[0092] η1 is the transmission efficiency of this power transmission route.

[0093] When a gear shift is required, the vehicle's electronic control unit (HCU), including the motor controller, clutch controller, and engine controller, issues a shift request. The HCU records the output torque T just before the engine power is interrupted. s and the motor's output torque T at this time t Simultaneously, the engine controller sends a torque reduction command to the engine, and the clutch controller controls the clutch Y to gradually disengage from its driving and driven ends. When there is no speed difference between the driving and driven ends of the clutch, the motor controller controls the motor's torque to track the target T. d1 (t) can be calculated using the following formula.

[0094]

[0095] T s1 (t) represents the engine's output torque when shifting gears and reducing torque;

[0096] When a speed difference occurs at the driving and driven ends of the clutch, the motor controller controls the motor to increase torque to track the target torque T. d2 (t) The torque T that the clutch can transmit at this moment, determined by the position of the clutch actuator. f1 (t) is calculated using the formula shown below:

[0097]

[0098] The motor controller gradually increases the motor torque according to the target torque. When the clutch disengages, the transmission performs a gear shift. After the shift is complete, clutch Y engages, at which point T... d3 (t) The torque T that the clutch can transmit at this moment, determined by the position of the clutch actuator. f2 (t) is calculated, as shown in the following formula:

[0099]

[0100] When there is no speed difference between the driving and driven ends of the clutch, T d4 (t) is derived from the engine's torque at this time, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0101]

[0102] T s2 (t) represents the engine's output torque when it is shifting gears and increasing torque;

[0103] The shift mode is exited only after full engagement, ensuring that the transmission system's output torque remains essentially constant during gear changes, reducing or even eliminating the jerking sensation during shifts. The controller signal transmission process during gear shifts is as follows: Figure 13 As shown.

[0104] Reverse gear torque enhancement control

[0105] When the vehicle enters reverse torque boost mode, the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) determines the vehicle's operating condition through vehicle weight, slope, and speed signals, and judges the driver's intention through throttle and brake opening signals. Based on the vehicle's operating condition and the driver's intention, it determines whether to enter drive motor torque boost mode. The specific process is as follows: Figure 14 As shown.
