DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Below, the exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application, and it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exemplary embodiments described here.

[0022] Figure 1 : is a structural diagram of a new energy trailer power system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the power system of the new energy trailer includes: a front electric drive bridge 1, a middle electric drive bridge 2 and a rear electric drive bridge 3 arranged in sequence along the length direction of the new energy trailer, and a power battery 4; wherein the power battery 4 is connected to the front electric drive bridge 1, the middle electric drive bridge 2 and the rear electric drive bridge 3, and is used to provide electric energy to the front electric drive bridge 1, the middle electric drive bridge 2 and the rear electric drive bridge 3.

[0023] The present application replaces the trailer axle with an electric drive axle, and utilizes the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 to realize the electric drive of the trailer, so that multiple power systems can be realized in conjunction with the tractor to drive new energy heavy trucks (including tractors and new energy trailers). The power battery 4 can be arranged in front of the front drive axle 1 and behind the traction pin between the tractor and the trailer. The power battery 4 is used to provide electric energy to the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 and store the electric energy recovered by braking of the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3. In the present application, the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 can be driven individually, or they can participate in the driving partially or completely. For example, one or more (one or two or three) electric drive axles can output positive torque (i.e., provide the driving torque required for the new energy heavy-duty truck to travel), and the remaining electric drive axles can output negative torque (i.e., provide torque opposite to the driving direction of the new energy heavy-duty truck to achieve braking recovery). One or more electric drive axles can output positive torque and the remaining electric drive axles can not work, one or more electric drive axles can output negative torque and the remaining electric drive axles can not work, or all electric drive axles can not work.

[0024] The present application provides a new energy trailer power system, which is achieved by sequentially arranging a front electric drive axle, a middle electric drive axle and a rear electric drive axle along the length direction of the new energy trailer, and arranging a power battery, wherein the power battery is connected to the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle to provide electrical energy to the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle; that is, the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle are sequentially arranged on the new energy trailer to provide driving force, and the power battery provides electrical energy, and on the basis of the existing trailer, the three load-bearing axles are replaced with three electric drive axles to reduce the difficulty of modification, and the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle can be used to realize the auxiliary drive of the new energy trailer in cooperation with the tractor to improve the power of the whole vehicle, and at the same time, the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle of the new energy trailer can also be used to realize braking energy recovery to improve economy.

[0025] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the front electric drive bridge 1 may include a first drive motor 5, a first clutch 6, and a first reducer 7 connected in sequence, the middle electric drive bridge 2 may include a second drive motor 8, a second clutch 9, and a second reducer 10 connected in sequence, and the rear electric drive bridge 3 may include a third drive motor 11, a third clutch 12, and a third reducer 13 connected in sequence.

[0026] The present application realizes the driving function of the front electric drive axle 1 by setting a first drive motor 5, a first clutch 6, and a first reducer 7 which are connected in sequence; similarly, a second drive motor 8, a second clutch 9, a second reducer 10 and a third drive motor 11, a third clutch 12, and a third reducer 13 are set to respectively realize the driving functions of the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear drive axle 3.

[0027] In one embodiment, the reduction ratio of the first reducer 7 is greater than the reduction ratio of the second reducer 10 and the reduction ratio of the third reducer 13 .

[0028] The present application can set the reduction ratio of the first reducer 7 to be greater than the reduction ratio of the second reducer 10 and the reduction ratio of the third reducer 13, so as to realize electric drive axles with different reduction ratios, so as to adapt to different working conditions. For example, the front drive axle 1 has a higher driving efficiency at low speed, so the front drive axle 1 is mainly responsible for providing a larger driving torque at the vehicle start and low-speed driving stage, and when the vehicle speed is high, the back electromotive force may affect the components of the front electric drive axle 1, so during high-speed driving, the first clutch 6 is disconnected to prevent the front drive axle 1 from intervening in the drive. Optionally, the present application can set the second reducer 10 and the third reducer 13 to the same reduction ratio to be responsible for the power output and brake energy recovery during high-speed driving of the vehicle. It should be understood that the present application can also set the reduction ratios of the second reducer 10 and the third reducer 13 to be different according to the needs of the actual application scenario, so as to further distinguish the power output and brake energy recovery under medium speed and high-speed working conditions, so as to further optimize the driving efficiency and brake recovery efficiency.

[0029] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned new energy trailer power system may also include: a trailer power controller 14, which is communicatively connected to the vehicle controller of the tractor, and is used to receive driving status information sent by the vehicle controller of the tractor, and generate control instructions for controlling the operation of the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 based on the driving status information.

The trailer power controller 14 determines the driver's posture intention and driving force demand according to the driving state information of the tractor, so as to better control the operation of the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 to cooperate with the tractor to realize the driving of the new energy heavy truck. It should be understood that the driving system of the tractor in the present application can be a fuel driving system (engine system), an electric driving system, or a hybrid driving system including both an engine system and an electric driving system. As long as the driving system of the tractor can read and provide driving force, the present application does not limit the driving system of the tractor.

[0031] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned new energy trailer power system may also include: a battery management system 15, the battery management system 15 is connected to the power battery 4 and the trailer power controller 14, and is used to monitor the state parameters of the power battery 4 and send the state parameters of the power battery 4 to the trailer power controller 14.

[0032] The present application sets up a battery management system 15 to monitor the status parameters of the power battery 4 in real time. The specific status parameters include the SOC, output voltage or input voltage, output current or input current, etc. of the power battery 4. The present application monitors the status parameters of the power battery 4 and sends the status parameters of the power battery 4 to the trailer power controller 14, so that the trailer power controller 14 can better control the operation of the front electric drive axle 1, the middle electric drive axle 2 and the rear electric drive axle 3 in combination with the status parameters of the power battery 4, and effectively maintain the use status and effect of the power battery 4 while ensuring the driving efficiency.

[0033] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned new energy trailer power system may also include: a motor controller 16, the motor controller 16 is connected to the trailer power controller 14 and the drive motor (including the first drive motor 5, the second drive motor 8, and the third drive motor 11), the motor controller 16 receives the control instruction of the trailer power controller 14, and controls the operation of the corresponding drive motor based on the control instruction. It should be understood that the present application may set independent motor controllers for the first drive motor 5, the second drive motor 8, and the third drive motor 11, respectively, or may use one motor controller to control the first drive motor 5, the second drive motor 8, and the third drive motor 11 at the same time.

[0034] Figure 2: is a flow chart of a control method of a new energy trailer power system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The control method of the new energy trailer power system is applied to any of the above-mentioned new energy trailer power systems, and specifically, can be applied to the above-mentioned trailer power controller, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control method of the new energy trailer power system includes the following steps: Step 210: Acquire driving status information of the tractor connected to the new energy trailer.

[0035] The driving state information is obtained from the vehicle controller of the tractor connected to the new energy trailer. The present application obtains the driving state information of the tractor from the vehicle controller of the tractor through wired (such as CAN bus) or wireless communication to obtain the driver's current driving intention and the driving torque required by the current driving intention.

[0036] Step 220: Obtain state parameters of the power battery.

[0037] The present application obtains the status parameters of the power battery in real time through the battery management system, and sends the status parameters of the power battery to the trailer power controller in real time, thereby achieving the acquisition of the status parameters of the power battery.

[0038] Step 230: Obtain road operation information of the new energy trailer.

[0039] The road operation information is collected by the vehicle-mounted sensors and / or the vehicle-mounted navigation system. The trailer power controller of the present application obtains the road operation information from the vehicle-mounted sensors and the vehicle-mounted navigation system by means of CAN bus, etc. The specific road operation information includes navigation information, vehicle speed information, slope information, etc.

[0040] Step 240: Based on the driving state information, the state parameters of the power battery and the road operation information, the operation of the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle is controlled.

[0041] After obtaining the driving status information of the tractor, the status parameters of the power battery and the road operation information, the present application determines the optimal driving scheme based on the driving status information, the status parameters of the power battery and the road operation information, and controls the operation of the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle based on the driving scheme.

[0042] The present application provides a control method for a power system of a new energy trailer, which comprises the following steps: sequentially arranging a front electric drive axle, a middle electric drive axle and a rear electric drive axle along the length direction of the new energy trailer, and arranging a power battery, wherein the power battery is connected to the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle to provide electric energy to the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle, and obtaining driving state information of the tractor, state parameters of the power battery and road operation information, and determining an optimal driving scheme based on the driving state information, the state parameters of the power battery and the road operation information.

On the basis of the existing trailer, the three load-bearing axles are replaced with three electric drive axles to reduce the difficulty of modification, and the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle can be used to realize the auxiliary drive of the new energy trailer and the tractor to improve the power of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle of the new energy trailer can also be used to realize braking energy recovery to improve economy.

[0043] In one embodiment, the specific implementation method of the above step 240 can be: based on the driving state information, the state parameters of the power battery and the road operation information, control the partial or complete operation of the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle.

[0044] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the present application can select part or all of the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle to operate according to the actual operating conditions to achieve multiple driving modes. While improving driving efficiency and energy-saving effects, it can also take into account the performance of the power battery and driving comfort.

[0045] In one embodiment, the control method of the new energy trailer power system may further include: obtaining parameter information of the driving system of the tractor; obtaining road surface information of the operating scenario roads of the new energy trailer; and generating operation control strategies for the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle based on the parameter information of the driving system of the tractor and the road surface information of the operating scenario roads of the new energy trailer.

[0046] When the tractor and trailer are connected for the first time, the tractor opens the information port to the trailer so that the trailer power controller can obtain the parameter information of the tractor's drive system: engine and gearbox power parameters, such as engine external characteristic curve, engine fuel consumption universal characteristic diagram, gearbox gear and speed ratio, etc. This application obtains the parameter information of the tractor's drive system and the vehicle operation scene road information set (including time, vehicle speed, slope, etc.) to support the trailer power controller to optimize the offline strategy.

This set of control strategies can be remotely updated to the trailer power controller through Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) to control the partial or complete operation of the front electric drive axle, the middle electric drive axle and the rear electric drive axle according to the driving state information and road operation information of the tractor during actual operation.
