[0023] Figure 2 : is a flow chart of a method for calculating the fuel saving of a hybrid heavy truck provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The method for calculating the fuel saving of a hybrid heavy truck is applied to the control system of the hybrid heavy truck, such as Figure 2As shown, the method for calculating the fuel saving of the hybrid heavy truck includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 210: Obtain the engine torque and motor torque of the hybrid heavy truck.

[0025] Among them, the engine torque is the wheel-end torque output by the engine of the hybrid heavy truck, and the motor torque is the wheel-end torque output by the motor of the hybrid heavy truck. During the driving process of the hybrid heavy truck, the engine and / or the motor will output torque to the wheel end to drive the vehicle. Specifically, the main driving modes of the hybrid heavy truck include:

[0026] Engine-only driving mode; at this time, the motor does not output torque, that is, the engine torque is greater than zero and the motor torque is zero.

[0027] Motor-only drive mode: At this time, the engine does not output torque, that is, the engine torque is zero and the motor torque is greater than zero.

[0028] Hybrid mode: At this time, the engine and motor output positive torque at the same time, that is, the engine torque is greater than zero and the motor torque is greater than zero.

[0029] Driving power generation mode: At this time, the engine outputs positive torque and the motor outputs reverse torque to generate electricity, that is, the engine torque is greater than zero and the motor torque is less than zero.

[0030] Step 220: Convert the motor torque into the equivalent torque of the engine according to the transmission efficiency between the motor and the engine.

[0031] Among them, equivalent torque refers to the torque that the engine needs to output to achieve the motor torque. After obtaining the motor torque of the hybrid heavy truck, this application converts the motor torque into the equivalent torque of the engine according to the transmission efficiency between the motor and the engine to determine the torque that the engine needs to output to achieve the motor torque, that is, the torque that needs to be output to achieve the same driving effect by replacing the motor with the engine.

[0032] Step 230: Calculate the predicted fuel consumption of the engine alone according to the engine torque and the equivalent torque.

[0033] Among them, the predicted fuel consumption represents the amount of fuel consumed by the equivalent output engine torque and motor torque of the engine of a hybrid heavy truck alone. After the equivalent torque of the engine is converted, the engine torque and the equivalent torque are combined to calculate the amount of fuel that the engine needs to consume if the engine is used alone to achieve the current driving effect (i.e. the predicted fuel consumption), that is, based on the current wheel-end torque of the hybrid heavy truck (including the overall wheel-end torque of the tractor and trailer), the amount of fuel that the engine needs to consume to output the current wheel-end torque alone (i.e. the fuel consumption in non-hybrid mode) is calculated, thereby obtaining the fuel consumption of a pure fuel vehicle running in the current state.

[0034] Step 240: Calculate the fuel saving of the hybrid heavy truck based on the predicted fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption of the engine of the hybrid heavy truck.

[0035] After calculating the predicted fuel consumption of a pure fuel vehicle in the current state, the instantaneous fuel saving of the hybrid heavy truck in the current state is obtained by comparing the predicted fuel consumption with the actual fuel consumption of the hybrid heavy truck in the current state.

[0036] The present application provides a method for calculating the fuel saving of a hybrid heavy-duty truck, by obtaining the engine torque and motor torque of the hybrid heavy-duty truck; wherein the engine torque is the wheel-end torque output by the engine of the hybrid heavy-duty truck, and the motor torque is the wheel-end torque output by the motor of the hybrid heavy-duty truck; according to the transmission efficiency between the motor and the engine, the motor torque is converted into the equivalent torque of the engine; wherein the equivalent torque represents the torque that the engine needs to output to achieve the motor torque; according to the engine torque and the equivalent torque, the predicted fuel consumption of using the engine alone is calculated; wherein the predicted fuel consumption represents the amount of fuel consumed by using the equivalent output engine torque and motor torque of the engine of the hybrid heavy-duty truck alone ; Calculate the fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck based on the predicted fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption of the engine of the hybrid heavy-duty truck; that is, convert the motor torque into the equivalent torque of the engine, and calculate the predicted fuel consumption when the engine is driven alone based on the engine torque and the equivalent torque, calculate the fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck based on the predicted fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption of the engine of the hybrid heavy-duty truck, so as to calculate the fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck in real time during its actual operation, which can not only be more refined to the real-time fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck, but also the real fuel saving can be obtained according to the actual operation route of the hybrid heavy-duty truck, so as to improve the accuracy of the fuel saving of each hybrid heavy-duty truck.

[0037] In one embodiment, the engine is arranged on the tractor of the hybrid heavy-duty truck, and the motor is arranged on the trailer of the hybrid heavy-duty truck; wherein, the specific implementation method of the above-mentioned step 220 can be: according to the transmission ratio of the electric drive axle gearbox of the trailer, the transmission ratio of the electric drive axle main reducer of the trailer, the transmission efficiency from the output end of the motor to the wheel end, the transmission ratio of the gearbox of the tractor, the transmission ratio of the main reducer of the tractor and the transmission efficiency from the output end of the engine to the wheel end, the motor torque is converted into an equivalent torque.

[0038] After obtaining the motor torque, this application converts the motor torque into the equivalent torque of the engine. The specific conversion formula is:

[0039]

[0040] in, Indicates the motor torque, which is fed back to the CAN bus by the MCU torque; The transmission ratio of the electric drive axle gearbox is fed back by the TCU to the CAN bus; is the transmission ratio of the electric drive axle main reducer, which is a fixed value; is the transmission efficiency from the output end of the motor to the wheel end, which is a fixed value; The transmission ratio of the tractor's gearbox is fed back by the tractor's gearbox to the CAN bus; is the transmission ratio of the main reducer of the tractor, which is a fixed value; is the transmission efficiency from the output end of the engine to the wheel end, which is a fixed value.

[0041] In one embodiment, the specific implementation method of the above step 230 can be: calculate the sum of the engine torque and the equivalent torque to obtain the comprehensive torque of the hybrid heavy truck; wherein the directions of the engine torque and the equivalent torque are the same or opposite; calculate the predicted fuel consumption of the engine output comprehensive torque.

[0042] After converting the equivalent torque of the engine, the application combines the engine torque to calculate the comprehensive torque of the hybrid heavy truck. The specific calculation formula of the comprehensive torque is:

[0043]

[0044] in, is the comprehensive torque, is the engine torque, and the directions of the engine torque and the equivalent torque may be the same (hybrid mode) or opposite (driving power generation mode).

[0045] In one embodiment, the specific implementation method of the above step 230 can be: query the universal characteristic table of the engine based on the comprehensive torque and the current speed of the engine to obtain the specific fuel consumption of the engine; calculate the predicted fuel consumption based on the specific fuel consumption of the engine, the comprehensive torque and the current speed of the engine.

[0046] After calculating the comprehensive torque, the application searches the specific fuel consumption of the engine outputting the comprehensive torque in the current running state of the vehicle according to the engine universal characteristic table, and calculates the output power of the engine in combination with the comprehensive torque and the current speed of the engine, and calculates the predicted fuel consumption according to the output power of the engine and the specific fuel consumption of the comprehensive torque. Among them, the predicted fuel consumption = engine output power * specific fuel consumption of the comprehensive torque.

[0047] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of step 230 may be: if the comprehensive torque exceeds the universal characteristic table of the engine, the specific fuel consumption of the engine is obtained by fitting multiple torque values ​​at the current speed of the engine.

[0048] Since the comprehensive torque is the sum of the engine torque and the motor torque, the comprehensive torque may exceed the engine's universal characteristic table. If the comprehensive torque exceeds the engine's universal characteristic table, the specific fuel consumption of the engine is obtained by fitting multiple torque values ​​at the current engine speed. The present application can use cubic spline extrapolation to fit the specific fuel consumption of the engine. Specifically, according to the current engine speed, multiple torque data points (for example, 4 torque data points) are selected from the engine universal characteristic table. Preferably, multiple equally spaced torque data points close to the comprehensive torque can be selected at intervals of 10 Nm, and the points of extrapolation calculation are added to continuously iterate and calculate to obtain the specific fuel consumption corresponding to the comprehensive torque.

[0049] In one embodiment, the specific implementation method of the above-mentioned step 240 can be: calculate the difference between the predicted fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption of the engine of the hybrid heavy-duty truck to obtain the instantaneous fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck; based on the instantaneous fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck in the preset time period, calculate the cumulative fuel saving of the hybrid heavy-duty truck in the preset time period.

[0050] After calculating the instantaneous fuel savings of a hybrid heavy-duty truck, the present application can obtain the cumulative fuel savings within the preset time period based on the time integral based on the instantaneous fuel savings within the preset time period, thereby calculating the cumulative fuel savings of the hybrid heavy-duty truck in any time period or under any operating conditions, thereby improving the universality of the fuel savings calculation.

[0051] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of the above step 210 may be: calculating the required torque of the hybrid heavy truck based on the accelerator pedal signal of the hybrid heavy truck; and calculating the engine torque and the motor torque according to the required torque of the hybrid heavy truck.

[0052] Specifically, when the driver steps on the accelerator pedal, the VCU calculates the driver's target vehicle speed and the required torque of the hybrid heavy truck based on the accelerator pedal's pedaling depth, and distributes the engine's wheel-end torque and the motor's wheel-end torque, i.e., the engine torque and the motor torque, based on the torque distribution strategy. The sum of the engine torque and the motor torque is the total wheel-end torque required by the hybrid heavy truck. Regardless of whether the motor torque is positive (the vehicle is in hybrid mode) or negative (the vehicle is in driving power generation mode), the total wheel-end torque required by the vehicle is fixed and is reflected based on the current driver's accelerator pedal pedaling depth.
