Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle simulation technology, and in particular to a thermal management simulation analysis method and system for a hybrid off-road vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Outdoor off-road driving is becoming more and more popular and attracting more attention. As a fast-growing segment in the automotive industry, off-road vehicles are facing more opportunities and challenges. For off-road vehicles, off-road driving is very common, which means driving off the road, such as rugged mud, sand, and dangerous hillsides. In addition to the significant difference in appearance from traditional models, the vehicle's power system and thermal system also affect the vehicle's off-road capabilities. For example, when off-road players experience the desert ramp scene, first the vehicle's power system output power must be greater than the various resistances of the scene to complete the working condition. The stronger the power and the faster the ramp speed, the better the player experience. However, to ensure sufficient power output, one of the key performances is the vehicle's thermal management performance, which is to ensure that the engine, battery pack, and motor will not be unable to output the required power due to temperature torque limitation. Therefore, when developing off-road capabilities for vehicles, it is necessary to objectively match and analyze the thermal management performance of off-road conditions to evaluate the vehicle's off-road level.

[0003] In the relevant technologies, most thermal management simulation and analysis methods are used for general hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. However, for hybrid off-road vehicles, different off-road conditions need to be considered, and different performance requirements are required in different off-road conditions. At the same time, range extension and battery pack discharge control also need to be considered. Therefore, most traditional thermal management simulation and analysis methods are not applicable to hybrid off-road vehicles, and cannot make up for the current OEMs' reliance on actual special road test data such as sand slope rushing and sand tip pushing blades to guide the development of thermal management performance.

[0049] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present application. The terms used herein in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment provides a thermal management simulation analysis method for a hybrid off-road vehicle, the method comprising:

[0052] Step S100: Acquire historical operating condition information of the off-road vehicle model in different off-road scenarios, wherein the historical operating condition information at least includes environmental parameter information and test parameter information under different operating conditions;

[0053] In this step, it should be noted that the method provided in this embodiment is aimed at current new energy hybrid off-road vehicle models. Although there are simulation methods on the market to analyze vehicle thermal management, they are basically used for general hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. For hybrid off-road vehicles, due to the particularity of hybrid off-road vehicles, for example, more extreme driving environments need to be considered, such as rugged mud, sand and dangerous slopes, etc., and the appearance is quite different from traditional models. In order to meet the driving experience of off-road users, off-road driving modes also have more classifications.

[0054] In order to meet the design requirements, for example, when an off-road player is experiencing a desert slope rushing scene, first of all, the power output of the car's power system must be greater than the various resistances of the scene to complete the working condition. The stronger the power and the faster the slope rushing speed, the better the player experience. However, to ensure sufficient power output, one of the key performances is the thermal management performance of the entire vehicle, which is to ensure that the engine, battery pack, and motor will not be unable to output the required power due to temperature torque limitations. Therefore, in the development of off-road capabilities of automobiles, it is necessary to objectively match and analyze the thermal management performance of off-road conditions to evaluate the off-road level of the entire vehicle. The method provided in this embodiment achieves efficient and objective matching and analysis of the thermal management performance of off-road conditions to evaluate the off-road level of the entire vehicle.

[0055] Optionally, historical operating condition information can be based on road condition analysis and statistics of global users in off-road scenarios. Environmental parameter information may include ambient temperature and slope information. Due to large errors in different regions or countries, the ambient temperature can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the ambient temperature can also be divided into tropical markets and non-tropical markets. For slope information, it can be divided into three types according to the frequency of user off-road driving at different slopes. Slopes below 17% are represented by 17%, 17% to 21% are represented by 21%, and 21% to 25% and long-term maximum slope driving above 25% are all represented by 25%. Of course, it can also be divided according to other forms, and the specific selection should be made according to actual needs.

[0056] Optionally, the test parameter information may include general parameters under different off-road environments, such as vehicle speed, air-conditioning system power, test mileage and test weight. The test weight refers to the off-road performance test mass, which is equal to the curb weight + the driver mass. Of course, depending on the off-road level, in a high-performance state, that is, pursuing the ultimate performance of the vehicle, no load is required. The test weight may need to be set according to different vehicle models, and there is no restriction here.

[0057] Step S200: Based on the historical operating condition information, off-road operating condition parameters of the vehicle are defined, where the off-road operating condition parameters are used to characterize the definition of ambient temperature, vehicle settings, mileage, and test weight under different off-road classification levels;

[0058] In this step, the off-road operating condition parameters of the hybrid off-road vehicle are defined according to the acquired historical operating condition information, so as to facilitate the data input of the simulation test of the subsequent construction of the simulation model. For example, the off-road operating condition definition of a hybrid vehicle can be as shown in Table 1.

[0059] Table 1 is the definition of the operating conditions of a hybrid off-road vehicle

[0060]

[0061] It is understandable that the off-road classification represents the following meanings: Explorer -> Radical Player, which represent different off-road levels, namely, light off-road -> deep off-road, to express the degree of extreme driving of the vehicle on unpaved roads, or the degree of demand for the extreme performance of the vehicle by different users, and to represent user characteristics, such as: Explorer: users have light off-road needs, such as exploring around normal roads, and short-term trial driving on unfinished non-paved roads; Radical Player: users go deep off-road, such as driving on completely unpaved roads such as deserts, Gobi, mud, and no-man's land, and challenging the vehicle's extreme performance;

[0062] It should be noted that the N / A in the table represents that the definition of the ambient temperature of the off-road level "Discoverer" in the tropical market depends on the project definition and is not specifically specified, generally ≤35℃; Test quality: Here refers to the off-road performance test quality, which is equal to the curb weight + driver quality; the off-road level above "Sportsman" uses the test quality because this off-road level is extreme driving, that is, the pursuit of vehicle extreme performance, so no load is performed; the different values ​​of speed / slope / mileage in the working condition definition are based on the road condition analysis and statistics of global users in off-road scenarios. According to the frequency of users' off-road driving at different slopes, it is divided into three types. The slope below 17% is represented by 17%, 17% to 21% is represented by 21%, and 21% to 25% and above 25% are represented by 25% for long-term maximum slope driving. The distinction between mileage and speed in the table is also to reflect the different off-road performance of vehicles. For example, some vehicles have no problem with cooling performance when running 30km, but the engine water temperature and transmission oil temperature will be overheated when running next. It is not just cooling, of course, there are other performance problems, such as component fatigue and durability.

[0063] Step S300: obtaining vehicle parameter information of an off-road vehicle, and building a corresponding simulation analysis model integrating a dynamic model and a thermal management model based on the vehicle parameter information;

[0064] In this step, obtaining the vehicle parameter information of the off-road vehicle can simulate the creation of the initial model. The vehicle parameter information may include vehicle weight, wind resistance, tire parameters, battery pack parameters, electric drive parameters, electronic control parameters, air-conditioning system parameters, variable transmission parameters and engine parameters.

[0065] For example, for a hybrid off-road vehicle, the vehicle weight can be: 1.5 tons to 3.5 tons; the wind resistance can be: 0.2 to 0.4; the tire parameters are mainly the tire rolling radius, which is generally around 0.3 to 0.5; the battery pack parameters include heat capacity, mass, module, heat transfer resistance, OCV~SOC curve, power~temperature curve, internal resistance~temperature~SOC curve, HPPC (Hybrid Pulse Power Characteristic) is the pulse charge and discharge performance curve of the power battery. It is understandable that there are many parameters and they are different for different vehicle models. The specific selection should be made according to actual needs. The electric drive parameters include heat capacity, mass, thermal conductivity, heat transfer structure, flow resistance characteristics, etc.; the electronic control parameters are the same as the electric drive; the air-conditioning system parameters include condenser structure parameters and heat exchange performance parameters, evaporator structure parameters and heat exchange performance parameters, compressor efficiency pressure ratio and other parameters, thermal expansion valve four-quadrant parameters, flow and pressure parameters of the electronic expansion valve stepper motor at different openings, etc.; the engine parameters are mainly external characteristics, displacement, cylinder block and cylinder head mass, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, heat transfer area with water jacket, water jacket volume, thermal efficiency MAP, etc.

[0066] Optionally, after obtaining the whole vehicle parameter information, a corresponding simulation analysis model integrating the power integration model and the thermal management model is built based on the whole vehicle parameter information, wherein in building the power integration model, the driver, vehicle, engine, battery, motor, gearbox and reducer and related strategies are mainly considered, for example, driver: working condition definition + torque, acceleration, braking and gear control; vehicle: friction resistance + windward resistance + ramp resistance + air conditioning power, etc.; engine: displacement + type + external characteristics + control method, battery: power + number of series and parallel connections + type + OCV~SOC curve, etc., for motor: electronic control + motor continuous external characteristics + peak external characteristics + efficiency MAP, etc., gearbox and reducer: gearbox ratio + efficiency + shift MAP, etc., strategy: power distribution + energy recovery. It should be noted that the accuracy of model simulation can be further improved through the above-mentioned refined modeling.

[0067] In some embodiments, building a thermal management model mainly includes building electric drive, battery pack, engine and engine cooling circuit sub-models according to battery pack parameters, electric drive parameters, electronic control parameters, gearbox parameters and engine parameters, and building an air-conditioning circuit sub-model, a cooling circuit sub-model and an air-conditioning circuit sub-model according to air-conditioning system parameters. For the electric drive cooling circuit, the main considerations are: motor heat transfer + electronic control heat transfer + power supply three-in-one heat transfer; for the battery pack cooling circuit, the main considerations are: battery + battery cell to coolant or refrigerant heat transfer process, for the engine cooling circuit: engine thermal model + heat transfer process; for the gearbox cooling circuit: gearbox thermal model + heat transfer process, for the air-conditioning circuit: condenser + evaporator + compressor + expansion valve + chiller.

[0068] Optional, combined Figure 2 As shown in the figure, taking the air-conditioning system modeling as an example, a chiller model, a condenser model, an evaporator model, an air-conditioning system control model and a passenger compartment model are created respectively. In the process of creating a single model, a component simulation sub-model is built by obtaining the component bench performance data and the part geometric parameters; the simulation results of the component simulation sub-model are benchmarked based on the measured data to determine whether the benchmarking error value meets the first preset error, and the first preset error is used to indicate whether the comparison error between the simulation data of the component simulation sub-model and the bench test data is within a preset range; if not, the exponents of the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number in the convective heat transfer correlation of the component simulation sub-model are optimized and adjusted, and the simulation test is performed again.

[0069] Optionally, after building the component models, assemble them into an air-conditioning system model, and then perform simulation tests on the single system to determine whether the complete system model meets the benchmark error value. The control strategy of a single system, such as an air-conditioning system, includes the expansion valve control strategy, the compressor control strategy, etc. The condition for meeting the requirement can be whether the error is within 5% compared with the bench test data. At the same time, it should be noted that the optimization model parameters depend on the components. Generally speaking, the exponents of the Reynolds number and the Prandtl number in the convective heat transfer correlation are adjusted;

[0070] In some embodiments, the heat transfer process and heat transfer model for the battery pack water temperature, electric drive, and engine water temperature are basically similar. Taking the electric drive as an example, the heat transfer process model includes (also three types of heat transfer): heat conduction + convection heat transfer + radiation heat transfer. First, the heat capacity model, such as the motor, its stator winding temperature calculation, the temperature is calculated based on its derivative with respect to time, and is considered to be uniform in the solid mass involved, that is:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, Qin is the input heat flow rate, Qout is the output heat flow rate, m is the mass of the motor, and cp is the specific heat capacity of the motor material.

[0073] The thermal conduction expression is: φconduction=coeffΔT;

[0074] Among them, ΔT is the temperature difference between the two motor temperatures and the coolant, and coeff is the heat transfer coefficient between the motor and the coolant. It can be understood that different heat transfer models have different coefficient calculation formulas, which are related to the cooling water jacket structure, etc. The following example is not detailed: (thermal resistance = 1 / coeff)

[0075] For example, the expression for contact thermal resistance is: φcontact=G·A·(T1-T2)

[0076] The linear thermal conductivity expression is:

[0077] The heat transfer and conduction expression of cylindrical cylinder is:

[0078]

[0079] As for the convection heat transfer part, it is mainly forced convection heat transfer or natural convection heat transfer.

[0080] Step S400: inputting off-road operating condition parameters into the simulation analysis model to obtain simulation result information, and judging whether the temperature of each component of the vehicle at different off-road classification levels is less than a preset critical temperature based on the simulation result information.

[0081] In this step, after the simulation analysis model is built, the off-road operating condition parameters are input into the simulation analysis model to obtain the simulation result information. According to the simulation result information, it is determined whether the engine water temperature, electric drive inlet water temperature, electric drive winding temperature, DCDC body temperature, ADCU inlet water temperature and LTR heat dissipation corresponding to each off-road classification are all less than the preset critical temperature. If they are all less than the preset critical temperature, the cooling performance requirements are met at the off-road classification level. If a parameter is not met at a certain off-road state level, the parameter optimization design is performed, and the model after the optimized parameters is simulated and tested again.

[0082] Combination Figure 3 As shown, taking a certain hybrid off-road vehicle type as an example, after the above method steps, a simulation result curve graph of a certain off-road state level is obtained. Through the simulation result curve graph, it can be seen whether the engine water temperature, electric drive inlet water temperature, electric drive winding temperature, DCDC body temperature, ADCU inlet water temperature and LTR heat dissipation are all less than the preset critical temperature. The critical temperature can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here. For example, taking the engine water temperature as an example, the preset critical temperature can be 112°C, and the preset critical temperature of the range extender winding can be 150°C.

[0083] It can be understood that the above method steps are aimed at the thermal management simulation analysis of hybrid off-road vehicles. By refining the off-road level classification and combining the historical working condition data, each off-road working condition of the whole vehicle is defined. At the same time, in building the simulation model, a simulation analysis model integrating the corresponding dynamic model and the thermal management model is built; at the same time, the thermal management model includes the electric drive, battery pack, engine and multiple cooling circuit sub-models of the engine, and the heat conduction + convection heat transfer + radiation heat transfer process model is fully considered, so that the simulation result is more accurate. At the same time, when building each component simulation sub-model, a benchmark judgment is performed to control the comparison error between the simulation data of the component simulation sub-model and the bench test data within a preset range, thereby further reducing the simulation error. At the same time, there is no need to rely on actual special road test data such as sand slope rushing and sand tip pushing blade to guide the development of thermal management performance. It can objectively evaluate whether the vehicle power thermal management system capabilities meet off-road requirements, and determine the key indicators of the vehicle thermal system from objective data, which is conducive to the evaluation and optimization of the vehicle's off-road capabilities.
