[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] What you need to know is that Figure 2As shown, the electric drive thermal management system includes an electric drive cooling circuit and a power battery cooling circuit.

[0037] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a fault warning method for an electric drive thermal management system.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the electric drive thermal management system fault warning method of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the electric drive thermal management system fault warning method includes:

[0040] S100: Importing the acquired front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, onboard charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data into the trained deep network learning model to output the predicted radiator outlet temperature;

[0041] Among them, the trained deep network learning model can be a neural network model or a Transformer network (transformer model), which is a neural network structure based on self-attention mechanism and position encoding. It mines the characteristics of data through multi-layer self-attention mechanism and position encoding. It is currently widely used in large models, natural language processing, time series prediction and other fields and has shown excellent performance. Since the self-attention module of the Transformer network cannot consider the temporal relationship of data like the recurrent neural network, the temporal information of the data is introduced through the position encoding module before the data is input to the self-attention module. After the input data is combined with the position encoding, the self-attention mechanism first encodes the input information through the key vector (Key), value vector (Value) and query vector (Query), and performs weighted calculation after matching the key vector and query vector. It is normalized with the softmax function, and the obtained attention weight distribution is as shown in formula (1):

[0042]

[0043] Among them, Q, K, and V are query vectors, key vectors, and value vectors respectively, d k is the dimension of the key vector.

[0044] The water temperature in the electric drive cooling circuit has a certain amount of thermal inertia, and calculating the delay constant of the inertia link is very complex (it is difficult to obtain by relying on an accurate thermal management physical model). Because the Transformer network can handle long dependencies in sequential data and can also perform parallel calculations, it improves training efficiency. Therefore, the Transformer network is used to learn the causal relationship between the above variables (front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data) and the coolant temperature in the electric drive cooling circuit.

[0045] Among them, the thermal management actuator data information may include the electric drive circuit water pump flow in the electric drive cooling circuit, the fan speed of the radiator, the three-way valve opening, the four-way valve opening, and the variable air intake grille opening.

[0046] S200: Determine the difference between the predicted radiator outlet temperature and the vehicle charging system inlet temperature. If the difference exceeds a range threshold, report a fault code.

[0047] In this embodiment, by importing the acquired front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, vehicle charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data information into the trained deep network learning model, the predicted radiator outlet temperature can be output, thereby eliminating the radiator outlet temperature sensor in the traditional solution and reducing hardware costs; and by judging the difference between the predicted radiator outlet temperature and the vehicle charging system inlet temperature, if the difference exceeds the range threshold, a fault code is broadcast to notify the user to go to the store for repair and investigation in time, which solves the problem that once a non-electrical fault occurs in the electric drive cooling circuit, such as coolant leakage, or pipe blockage, or the thermal management actuator is stuck (the position of the actuator itself is correct), the control unit cannot effectively identify it, and can only light up to remind the user based on the real-time coolant temperature in the electric drive cooling circuit exceeding the limit or the maximum temperature of the cooling component exceeding the limit. If the prompt timing is too late, it will cause power loss on the way.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S100, the following steps are included:

[0049] S101: The obtained front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power, thermal management actuator data information, DC-DC converter power, external ambient temperature and vehicle speed are imported into the trained deep network learning model to output the predicted radiator outlet temperature.

[0050] In this embodiment, new variables (DC-DC converter power, external ambient temperature, and vehicle speed) are added to the original variables (front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data information). By using variables that affect the predicted radiator outlet temperature in the actual environment, the accuracy of the predicted radiator outlet temperature can be further improved, thereby improving the reliability of the electric drive thermal management system fault warning.

[0051] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S100, the following steps are included:

[0052] S101: Uploading the acquired front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data to the first cloud platform;

[0053] S102: Based on the deep network learning model in the cloud platform 1, the predicted radiator outlet temperature is calculated, and the predicted radiator outlet temperature information is transmitted to the vehicle end.

[0054] In this embodiment, due to the limited storage and computing power of the vehicle-side controller, the vehicle-cloud collaborative control function can be used. The vehicle-side uploads the front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, vehicle charging system electric power and thermal management actuator data information. The Transformer model is arranged in the cloud platform 1, and the cloud platform 1 synchronizes the algorithm results to the vehicle-side in real time. The control system responsible for the electric drive cooling circuit is the power domain system control unit. The power domain system control unit realizes the control of the thermal management actuator based on the predicted radiator outlet temperature sent by the cloud platform.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S101, the following steps are included:

[0056] S101-1: If the network signal is abnormal and causes communication interruption, control the electric drive cooling circuit and the power battery cooling circuit to operate in series so that the radiator outlet temperature is equal to the power battery inlet temperature;

[0057] S101-2: Determine the difference between the water inlet temperature of the power battery and the water inlet temperature of the vehicle charging system. If the difference exceeds the range threshold, a fault code is broadcast.

[0058] In this embodiment, if a network signal anomaly causes communication interruption during vehicle-cloud collaborative control, or if the temperature of the electric drive cooling circuit components is abnormal, the power domain system needs to calibrate or back up the actual temperature of the electric drive cooling circuit. This is done by the power domain system control unit sending instructions to the four-way valve and battery circuit water pump, connecting the electric drive cooling circuit and the power battery cooling circuit in series. This will ensure that the radiator outlet temperature and battery inlet temperature signal values ​​are equal, completing a single initial temperature calibration. This prevents the inability to perform fault early warning diagnosis due to the inability to know the actual radiator outlet temperature.

[0059] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S100, the following steps are included:

[0060] S101: Obtaining the DC-DC converter power, the front and rear motor electric power, and the front and rear motor mechanical efficiency within a future period of time;

[0061] S102: The vehicle charging system power, thermal management actuator data information, DC-DC converter power, front and rear motor power, and front and rear motor mechanical efficiency in the future are imported into the trained deep network learning model to output the predicted radiator outlet temperature in the future.

[0062] In this embodiment, the DC-DC converter power, front and rear motor electric power, and front and rear motor mechanical efficiency in the future period can be obtained, and the on-board charging system electric power, thermal management actuator data information, and the DC-DC converter power, front and rear motor electric power, and front and rear motor mechanical efficiency in the future period are imported into a trained deep network learning model to output the predicted radiator outlet temperature in the future period. This can predict the radiator outlet temperature in the future period, provide an early fault warning for the electric drive thermal management system in the future period, and inform the driver of the risks in advance so that the driver can choose to drive to a nearby repair shop for inspection or reduce the degree of aggressive driving of the vehicle to smoothly reach the destination.

[0063] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S101, the following steps are included:

[0064] S101-1: Based on the vehicle speed, slope, and ambient temperature of the road ahead, predict the DC-DC converter power, front and rear motor power, and front and rear motor mechanical efficiency over a period of time in the future.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vehicle's driving information for a period of time in the future can be predicted based on the vehicle speed, slope, and external ambient temperature of the road ahead. That is, the DC-DC converter power, front and rear motor electric power, and front and rear motor mechanical efficiency for a period of time in the future can be predicted. This facilitates the prediction of the radiator outlet temperature for a period of time in the future, and provides an early warning of faults in the electric drive thermal management system for a period of time in the future, so that the driver is informed of the risks in advance.

[0066] Furthermore, in one embodiment, in S101-1, the following steps are included:

[0067] S101-1-1: Obtain the vehicle speed, slope and external ambient temperature of the road ahead based on cloud platform 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, cloud platform 2 mainly sends map navigation (such as Baidu Maps or AutoNavi Maps) data to the vehicle-side vehicle system, and calculates the DC-DC converter power of the electric drive circuit, the front and rear motor power and the front and rear motor mechanical efficiency based on the predicted vehicle speed, slope and weather temperature of the road ahead. After uploading the above information to cloud platform 1, the cloud platform immediately sends a predicted radiator outlet temperature for a period of time in the future.

[0069] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides an electric drive thermal management system fault warning device, which includes: a radiator outlet temperature prediction module, which is used to import the acquired front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power and thermal management actuator data information into a trained deep network learning model, and output the predicted radiator outlet temperature; a fault warning module, which is used to judge the difference between the predicted radiator outlet temperature and the on-board charging system inlet temperature, and if the difference exceeds the range threshold, a fault code is broadcast.

[0070] The front and rear motor electric power, front and rear motor mechanical efficiency, on-board charging system electric power, and thermal management actuator data obtained by the radiator outlet temperature prediction module are imported into the trained deep network learning model, which can output the predicted radiator outlet temperature. This can eliminate the radiator outlet temperature sensor in the traditional solution and reduce hardware costs; and the fault warning module determines the difference between the predicted radiator outlet temperature and the on-board charging system inlet temperature. If the difference exceeds the range threshold, the fault code is broadcast to notify the user to go to the store for repair and investigation in time. This solves the problem that once a non-electrical fault occurs in the electric drive cooling circuit, such as coolant leakage, pipe blockage, or thermal management actuator jamming (the position of the actuator itself is correct), the control unit cannot effectively identify it and can only light up to remind the user based on the real-time coolant temperature in the electric drive cooling circuit exceeding the limit or the maximum temperature of the cooling component exceeding the limit. If the prompt is too late, it will cause power loss halfway.
