In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0054] This embodiment provides a hybrid power control system. Figure 2As shown, the hybrid control system includes an engine 1, a generator / motor 2, a drive motor 3, a power battery 4, a first clutch 5 and a second clutch 6. Specifically, the engine 1, the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 are connected in sequence, the first clutch 5 is arranged on the transmission shaft between the engine 1 and the generator / motor 2, the second clutch 6 is arranged on the transmission shaft between the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3, and the drive motor 3 is connected to the drive axle 7. The power battery 4 is used to supply power to the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 is used to drive the drive axle 7 to rotate. The generator / motor 2 has a driving mode and a power generation mode, wherein when in the driving mode, the generator / motor 2 can start the engine 1 or drive the drive axle 7 to rotate; when in the power generation mode, the generator / motor 2 is driven by the engine 1 and charges the power battery 4.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a hybrid power control method. The beneficial effects of the hybrid power control system are described below in conjunction with the hybrid power control method.

[0056] The hybrid power control method applies the above hybrid power control system, including:

[0057] Determine the current driving mode of the vehicle, which is one of the normal mode, the limp home mode and the escape mode; if the driving mode is the limp home mode, control the working states of the generator / motor 2, the first clutch 5 and the second clutch 6 accordingly according to different influencing factors; the influencing factors include at least one of the ambient temperature, the remaining power of the power battery 4, the failure of the drive motor 3, the failure of the power battery 4 and the failure of the engine 1.

[0058] In this embodiment, the hybrid control system adds a first clutch 5 between the engine 1 and the generator / motor 2, and adds a second clutch 6 between the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3. The addition of the first clutch 5 and the second clutch 6 enables the entire system to have three driving modes: normal mode, limp mode, and escape mode. Specifically, when the vehicle is driving normally, the normal mode is adopted; when the vehicle fails, the limp mode is adopted to drive the vehicle to the maintenance area in time; when the vehicle passes over a slope or a depression, the escape mode can be adopted to increase power to ensure smooth passing over a slope or a depression. In addition, in the limp mode, the working states of the generator / motor 2, the first clutch 5, and the second clutch 6 are adaptively adjusted, so that the vehicle can maintain its own power under different conditions such as low ambient temperature, insufficient remaining power of the power battery 4, failure of the drive motor 3, failure of the power battery 4, and failure of the engine 1, so that the vehicle can maintain a certain driving ability so that it can be driven to a safe area or a maintenance area in time.

[0059] In this embodiment, the hybrid control system further includes a first controller 81, through which the power battery 4 is electrically connected to the generator / motor 2, and the first controller 81 is used to control the generator / motor 2 to switch between the driving mode and the power generation mode. Specifically, the power battery 4 can control the on and off of the generator / motor 2 through the first controller 81, and the first controller 81 is used to switch the working mode of the generator / motor 2.

[0060] In this embodiment, the hybrid power control system further includes a second controller 82, through which the power battery 4 is electrically connected to the drive motor 3, and the second controller 82 is used to control the operation of the drive motor 3. Specifically, the power battery 4 can control the on and off of the drive motor 3 through the second controller 82, and the drive motor 3 is powered on to drive the drive axle 7 to rotate, so as to drive the wheels 71 connected to the drive axle 7 to rotate.

[0061] Specifically, when the vehicle is in limp mode, and the remaining power of the power battery 4 is between the first power lower limit threshold and the first power upper limit threshold, the power battery 4 needs to be charged, and the generator / motor 2 works in the power generation mode. When the vehicle is in normal mode, and the remaining power of the power battery 4 is between the second power lower limit threshold and the second power upper limit threshold, the power battery 4 needs to be charged, and the generator / motor 2 works in the power generation mode. Specifically, the first power lower limit threshold is equal to the second power lower limit threshold. The first power upper limit threshold is less than the second power upper limit threshold.

[0062] Specifically, the power battery 4 is provided with a monitoring and management system (not shown), which outputs an allowed feedback current Ic. The vehicle control strategy controls the feedback current Id<Ic of the drive motor 3 to ensure the safety of the power battery 4 .

[0063] In this embodiment, if the vehicle driving mode is selected as the normal mode, the first clutch 5 and the second clutch 6 are respectively normally closed, and the generator / motor 2 is in the power generation mode. Specifically, when the vehicle is driving in the normal mode, the first clutch 5 is normally closed, the engine 1 is working, and the generator / motor 2 is in the power generation mode. The generator / motor 2 is driven by the engine 1 to generate electricity, and the generated electric energy is charged into the power battery 4. At the same time, the power battery 4 supplies electric energy to the drive motor 3, and the drive motor 3 is powered on to drive the drive axle 7 to rotate, so as to drive the wheels 71 connected to the drive axle 7 to rotate.

[0064] In this embodiment, if the driving mode is the escape mode, the first clutch 5 is always disconnected, the second clutch 6 is always closed, the generator / motor 2 is in the driving mode and drives the drive axle 7 to rotate together with the drive motor 3. Specifically, when the vehicle needs to increase power when climbing a slope or passing a pit, the vehicle is driven in the escape mode, the first clutch 5 is disconnected, and the power between the engine 1 and the generator / motor 2 is cut off. The generator / motor 2 is in the driving mode, and the second clutch 6 is closed, the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 jointly drive the drive axle 7 to rotate, increasing the power output to the drive axle 7, thereby effectively improving the vehicle power in a short time, helping the vehicle to climb the slope and pass the pit smoothly.

[0065] In this embodiment, the operation requirement of the escape mode is: the remaining power of the power battery 4 is greater than 60% of its total power. Specifically, since the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 jointly drive the drive axle 7 to rotate, the power battery 4 supplies power to the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 at the same time during this process, and the power consumption of the power battery 4 is significantly increased. Therefore, the escape mode requires that the remaining power of the power battery 4 is greater than 60% of its total power. This ensures that the power battery 4 has enough power to support the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 during the escape mode, and ensures that the remaining power of the power battery 4 can support the vehicle to switch back to other modes and continue to work reliably after the escape mode ends.

[0066] In this embodiment, the working time required in the escape mode does not exceed 3 minutes.

[0067] In this embodiment, in the escape mode, the power of the vehicle can be doubled under the joint drive of the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3.

[0068] In this embodiment, the engine 1 itself has a starter (not shown), and the starter can directly start the engine 1 without the aid of the generator / motor 2, so that the engine 1 works. The starter is equivalent to a backup starting device of the engine 1. Specifically, the working voltage of the starter is 24V.

[0069] Specifically in this embodiment, the limp mode includes a first limp mode, a second limp mode, a third limp mode and a fourth limp mode. Among them, when in the first limp mode, the first clutch 5 is always closed, the starter starts the engine 1, the generator / motor 2 is in the power generation mode, and the second clutch 6 is suitable for closing when the vehicle needs to travel. When in the second limp mode, the first clutch 5 is always closed, the generator / motor 2 is in the drive mode and starts the engine 1, and the second clutch 6 is suitable for closing when the vehicle needs to travel. When in the third limp mode, the first clutch 5 is always closed, the starter starts the engine 1, the generator / motor 2 does not work, and the second clutch 6 is suitable for closing when the vehicle needs to travel. When in the fourth limp mode, the second clutch 6 is always disconnected, and the generator / motor 2 does not work.

[0070] Specifically, the first limp home mode is applicable to the case where the ambient temperature is lower than the threshold temperature, and / or the remaining power of the power battery 4 is lower than the threshold power. Specifically, the threshold temperature corresponds to the temperature at which the power battery 4 can effectively output electric energy. When the ambient temperature is lower than the threshold temperature, and / or the remaining power of the power battery 4 is lower than the threshold power, the power battery 4 cannot effectively discharge to the outside. At this time, the engine 1 is started by the starter. After the engine 1 works, the generator / motor 2 is in the power generation mode, and the generator / motor 2 is driven by the engine 1 and charges the power battery 4. In this process, if the vehicle needs to travel, the second clutch 6 is closed, and the power between the engine 1 and the drive axle 7 is connected. The power output by the engine 1 drives the vehicle to travel, and the vehicle can be supported to travel to a safe area or a maintenance area. When the ambient temperature is not lower than the threshold temperature, and the remaining power of the power battery 4 is not lower than the threshold power, the vehicle can be switched to the normal mode.

[0071] Specifically, the second limp home mode is applicable to the case where the drive motor 3 fails, or the second controller 82 fails. Specifically, when the drive motor 3 fails, or the second controller 82 fails, the drive motor 3 cannot work normally. At this time, the first clutch 5 is in a closed state, and the generator / motor 2 is in a driving mode, that is, the engine 1 is started by the generator / motor 2. When the vehicle needs to drive, the second clutch 6 is closed, and the power between the engine 1 and the drive axle 7 is connected. The power output by the engine 1 drives the vehicle to drive, and can support the vehicle to drive to a safe area or a maintenance area. It is worth mentioning that in the second limp home mode, after starting the engine 1, whether the generator / motor 2 continues to work in the power generation mode depends on the remaining power of the power battery 4.

[0072] Specifically, the third limp home mode is applicable to the case of a failure of the power battery 4. Specifically, when the power battery 4 fails, the generator / motor 2 and the drive motor 3 cannot work normally, and the first clutch 5 is closed. When the vehicle needs to travel, the second clutch 6 is closed, and the power between the engine 1 and the drive axle 7 is connected. The power output by the engine 1 drives the vehicle to travel, and the vehicle can be supported to travel to a safe area or a maintenance area.

[0073] Specifically, the fourth limp home mode is applicable to the situation where the engine 1 fails. Specifically, when the engine 1 fails, the second clutch 6 is often disconnected, interrupting the power from the engine 1 to the drive axle 7. The power battery 4 supplies power to the drive motor 3, and the drive motor 3 directly controls the rotation of the drive axle 7 to drive the vehicle, which can support the vehicle to travel to a safe area or a maintenance area. It is worth mentioning that in the fourth limp home mode, the speed of the drive motor 3 needs to be limited, that is, the vehicle speed limit. Due to the failure of the engine 1, the generator / motor 2 cannot charge the power battery 4 at the same time to avoid excessive power consumption of the power battery 4.

[0074] Exemplarily, this embodiment also provides a limp home mode selection process. Figure 5 As shown, the selection process includes the following:

[0075] S101, determining whether the ambient temperature is lower than a threshold temperature and / or whether the remaining power of the power battery 4 is lower than a threshold power; if so, selecting the first limp home mode; if not, proceeding to step S102;

[0076] S102, determining whether the drive motor 3 is faulty; if so, selecting the second limp home mode; if not, proceeding to step S103;

[0077] S103, determining whether the power battery 4 is faulty; if so, selecting the third limp home mode; if not, proceeding to step S104;

[0078] S104, determining whether the engine 1 is faulty; if so, selecting the fourth limp home mode.

[0079] Specifically, when the limp home mode is needed, first consider whether the ambient temperature is too low or the remaining power of the power battery 4 is too low. After excluding the above situations, further consider whether the drive motor 3 is faulty. If the drive motor 3 is not faulty, further consider whether the power battery 4 is faulty. The first limp home mode, the second limp home mode and the third limp home mode are selected in sequence for the above three situations. After excluding the above three situations, it can be basically determined that the engine 1 is faulty, and the fourth limp home mode is selected at this time.

[0080] This embodiment also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes a chassis (not shown) and the hybrid power control system described above, which is arranged on the chassis. The vehicle applies the hybrid power control system described above, and thus can have all the beneficial effects of the hybrid power control system and the hybrid power control method described above.

[0081] To sum up, the hybrid power control system provided in this embodiment, combined with the corresponding control method, has a normal mode, a limp home mode and an escape mode. The normal mode is used when the vehicle is driving normally, and the limp home mode is used when the vehicle breaks down to drive the vehicle to the maintenance area in time. When the vehicle goes over a slope or a depression, the escape mode can be used to increase power to ensure smooth passage over the slope or the depression. It can adapt to the requirements of various complex driving road conditions, and when the vehicle breaks down, it can allow the vehicle to maintain a certain driving ability so that it can drive to a safe area or a maintenance area in time.

[0082] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
