Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile power system optimization, and in particular to a method and system for improving continuous hill-climbing power feeding of an extended-range electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As a new energy vehicle type, extended-range electric vehicles have attracted much attention due to their low-carbon, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and high-efficiency characteristics. However, in actual use, especially under complex working conditions such as continuous climbing, the power feeding problem of extended-range electric vehicles has become one of the key factors restricting their performance. During continuous climbing, electric vehicles need to overcome the component of gravity along the slope, and are also affected by multiple resistances such as air resistance and friction between tires and the ground. These resistances will consume a lot of electrical energy, causing the battery power to drop rapidly. When the battery power is insufficient, the climbing performance of electric vehicles will drop significantly, and it may even be impossible to continue climbing. In addition, the power system state of the extended-range electric vehicle will also affect its climbing performance. For example, factors such as motor performance, battery performance, and transmission system efficiency are directly related to the amount of power that the electric vehicle can provide. If these factors are not reasonably optimized and adjusted, the electric vehicle may have insufficient power during the climbing process. At present, some solutions have been proposed to the problem of continuous climbing power feeding of extended-range electric vehicles. However, these methods often only optimize a specific factor without comprehensively considering the joint impact of multiple factors on climbing performance. Therefore, in practical applications, the effects of these methods are often limited and cannot fundamentally solve the power feeding problem of extended-range electric vehicles during continuous climbing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for improving continuous hill-climbing power feeding of an extended-range electric vehicle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a method for improving continuous hill-climbing power feeding of an extended-range electric vehicle comprises: Through advanced sensor technology and data acquisition systems, comprehensive real-time data on various factors that affect electric vehicles' climbing are obtained. These factors are mainly divided into two aspects. On the one hand, there are vehicle factors, including the vehicle's current power, battery performance status, motor power, vehicle weight, and transmission system efficiency. On the other hand, there are external environmental factors, covering the slope of the climbing section, road conditions, air resistance, and temperature.

[0030] Based on the rich and detailed factor data obtained, an algorithm is used to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the driving state of an electric vehicle that is climbing a slope. During the evaluation process, the vehicle's own power performance and the impact of the external environment on the vehicle's driving are comprehensively considered to determine whether the current driving state of the electric vehicle can meet the requirements of climbing. The current vehicle's output power is compared with the power required for climbing, and it is analyzed whether the battery power can support the vehicle's continuous climbing.

[0031] Generate a corresponding optimization strategy based on the above judgment results. If the judgment results show that the vehicle's driving state cannot meet the climbing requirements, then it is necessary to adjust the engine output power of the electric vehicle and increase the engine's power output to increase the vehicle's power. At the same time, adjust the power system state, optimize the motor's working mode, and adjust the battery's discharge strategy to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient power during the climbing process.

[0032] After the adjustment, the driving status of the electric vehicle is continuously monitored, and the sensors and data acquisition system are used again to obtain the real-time data of the vehicle, including vehicle speed, battery power changes, and engine operating status. The driving status of the electric vehicle is re-evaluated based on these data to ensure the effectiveness of the optimization strategy and provide a basis for further adjustments. If it is found that the adjusted driving status still cannot meet the climbing requirements, the strategy will continue to be optimized until the vehicle can climb the slope smoothly.

[0033] Obtaining real-time data on factors affecting electric vehicle climbing includes: 1. Vehicle’s own factor data The vehicle’s own factor data covers multiple aspects and has an important impact on the climbing performance of electric vehicles.

[0034] Motor performance data: Power: The power of a motor determines its output power. A high-power motor can provide stronger driving force when climbing a slope, ensuring that the vehicle can overcome gravity and resistance and climb the slope smoothly. Real-time power data can help the system accurately evaluate the current power output capacity of the motor.

[0035] Torque: Torque is the force that causes an object to rotate. Sufficient torque is crucial for electric vehicles to climb hills, providing strong traction when the vehicle starts and travels at low speeds. Real-time monitoring of torque can help understand the vehicle's ability to accelerate instantly and overcome resistance when climbing a hill.

[0036] Motor efficiency: Motor efficiency reflects the motor's ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. High-efficiency motors can output more power with the same electrical energy input, improving the vehicle's climbing performance. At the same time, motor efficiency is affected by temperature and load. Real-time acquisition of motor efficiency data can help the system optimize the motor's working state and improve energy efficiency.

[0037] Battery performance data: Battery capacity: Battery capacity determines the total amount of energy stored in an electric vehicle. When climbing a slope, the vehicle consumes a lot of energy to drive the motor, and the battery capacity directly affects the vehicle's range and climbing ability. Real-time acquisition of battery capacity data can help the system evaluate the vehicle's energy reserves when climbing a slope, so as to adjust the power output strategy in a timely manner.

[0038] Battery discharge characteristics: Battery discharge characteristics include discharge curve and discharge rate. Different discharge characteristics affect the output voltage and current of the battery under different loads, which in turn affects the motor power output. Real-time monitoring of battery discharge characteristics can help the system optimize battery usage, improve discharge efficiency, and extend service life.

[0039] Vehicle weight data: Vehicle weight is one of the important factors affecting gradeability. Heavier vehicles require more power to climb grades and consume more electricity. Real-time acquisition of vehicle weight data can help the system accurately assess the power requirements of the vehicle when climbing grades, so as to adjust the engine output power and power system status.

[0040] Drivetrain data: Gear ratio: The gear ratio is the ratio of the input shaft speed to the output shaft speed. A reasonable gear ratio allows the motor to perform at its best under different vehicle speeds and loads. When climbing a slope, a larger gear ratio can provide greater torque output, helping the vehicle overcome gravity and resistance. Real-time acquisition of gear ratio data can help the system adjust the drive system according to the current driving state and improve climbing performance.

[0041] Reducer efficiency: The reducer is an important part of the transmission system, and its efficiency directly affects the motor output power and vehicle climbing performance. An efficient reducer can reduce energy loss and increase motor output power. Real-time acquisition of reducer efficiency data can help the system evaluate the working status of the transmission system so that maintenance and adjustments can be made in a timely manner.

[0042] 2. External Environmental Factors Data External environmental factor data has a significant impact on the climbing performance of electric vehicles.

[0043] Slope angle data: Slope angle is one of the direct factors affecting the climbing performance of electric vehicles. A larger slope angle means that the vehicle needs to overcome a greater gravity component, which requires greater power output. Real-time acquisition of slope angle data can help the system accurately assess the power demand of the vehicle when climbing a slope, so as to adjust the engine output power and power system status.

[0044] Road condition data: Road surface smoothness: Road surface smoothness affects vehicle driving stability and power transmission efficiency. Uneven roads increase vehicle vibration and resistance, and reduce climbing performance. Real-time acquisition of road surface smoothness data can help the system adjust the vehicle suspension system and power output strategy to improve driving stability and climbing performance.

[0045] Road friction: Road friction is an important guarantee for vehicle driving, directly affecting the vehicle's traction and braking performance. When climbing a slope, sufficient road friction can ensure that the vehicle does not slip and improve climbing performance. Real-time acquisition of road friction data can help the system adjust the vehicle's power output and braking strategy to improve driving safety and climbing performance.

[0046] Climate conditions data: Temperature: Temperature affects battery performance and motor efficiency. At high temperatures, battery capacity decreases, motor efficiency decreases, and vehicle climbing performance is affected. At low temperatures, battery discharge capacity weakens, and motor starting performance is affected. Real-time acquisition of temperature data can help the system adjust battery usage and motor operating parameters to improve climbing performance.

[0047] Wind speed: Wind speed affects the vehicle's air resistance, which in turn affects power output and energy consumption. When driving against the wind, the vehicle needs to overcome greater air resistance, which requires greater power output. Real-time wind speed data can help the system adjust the vehicle's power output strategy to improve climbing performance and energy efficiency.

[0048] The method for obtaining real-time data on factors affecting electric vehicle climbing is: The data of the motor controller is read through the on-board sensor to obtain the real-time output power and torque value of the motor. The output power and torque value of the motor are crucial to evaluate the power output capacity of the vehicle during climbing; The power sensor is used to monitor the input power and output power of the motor, and the motor efficiency is calculated. The motor efficiency reflects the motor's ability to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, and has an important impact on the vehicle's climbing performance. The calculation formula for the motor efficiency is:

[0049] In the formula, represents the motor efficiency, Indicates the output power, Indicates input power; The remaining battery capacity is calculated by integrating the battery discharge current. The battery capacity determines the total amount of electric energy that the electric vehicle can store. During the climbing process, the remaining battery capacity directly affects the vehicle's range and climbing ability. The formula for calculating the remaining battery capacity is:

[0050] In the formula, Indicates the remaining battery capacity. Indicates the initial battery capacity, represents the real-time discharge current, and t represents the time; The battery discharge characteristics are obtained by monitoring the battery voltage changes. The battery discharge characteristics include discharge curve and discharge rate. Different discharge characteristics will affect the output voltage and current of the battery under different loads, and thus affect the power output of the motor. The calculation formula of the battery discharge characteristics is:

[0051] Where R represents the internal resistance of the battery. It represents the voltage difference of the battery before and after the load changes, and I represents the discharge current; The weight of the vehicle is directly measured by the load cell installed on the vehicle chassis. The weight of the vehicle is one of the important factors affecting the climbing performance. A heavier vehicle requires more power to climb the slope and also consumes more electricity. The transmission ratio is calculated by measuring the ratio of the motor speed to the wheel speed. The transmission ratio is the ratio of the input shaft speed to the output shaft speed. A reasonable transmission ratio can enable the motor to perform at its best under different vehicle speeds and loads. During climbing, a larger transmission ratio can provide greater torque output to help the vehicle overcome gravity and resistance. The transmission ratio calculation formula is:

[0052] In the formula, Indicates the motor speed, Indicates wheel speed; The efficiency is calculated by measuring the input power and output power of the reducer. The reducer is an important part of the transmission system. Its efficiency directly affects the output power of the motor and the climbing performance of the vehicle. An efficient reducer can reduce energy loss and increase the output power of the motor. The calculation formula for the reducer efficiency is:

[0053] In the formula, represents the reducer efficiency, Indicates the reducer output power, Indicates the reducer input power; The slope angle is determined by measuring the angle between the vehicle and the horizontal plane through the tilt sensor. The slope angle is one of the most direct factors affecting the climbing performance of electric vehicles. A larger slope angle means that the vehicle needs to overcome a greater gravity component, thus requiring greater power output.

[0054] Acceleration sensors are installed on the chassis of the vehicle to monitor the vibration of the vehicle during driving, so as to judge the smoothness of the road surface. The smoothness of the road surface will affect the driving stability and power transmission efficiency of the vehicle. Uneven roads will increase the vibration and resistance of the vehicle and reduce the climbing performance of the vehicle.

[0055] The friction coefficient sensor is installed near the wheel to measure the friction coefficient between the tire and the road. Road friction is an important guarantee for vehicle driving and directly affects the vehicle's traction and braking performance. During the climbing process, sufficient road friction can ensure that the vehicle will not slip and improve the vehicle's climbing performance.

[0056] Use temperature sensors to monitor ambient temperature and vehicle component temperatures. Temperature affects battery performance and motor efficiency. In high temperature environments, battery capacity decreases and motor efficiency decreases, which affects the vehicle's climbing performance. In low temperature environments, the battery's discharge capacity weakens and the motor's starting performance is affected.

[0057] Use the wind speed sensor on the vehicle to obtain wind speed information at the current location. Wind speed affects the vehicle's air resistance, which in turn affects the vehicle's power output and energy consumption. When driving against the wind, the vehicle needs to overcome greater air resistance, which requires greater power output.

[0058] The use process of the present invention is: obtaining climbing factor data, evaluating the climbing driving state according to the factor data, judging whether the climbing demand is met, generating an optimization strategy according to the judgment result, adjusting the engine output power and the power system state, and continuously monitoring and re-evaluating the driving state.

[0059] To sum up, the advantages of the present invention are: through real-time monitoring and adjustment, it is ensured that the climbing power is sufficient to meet the needs, the optimization strategy extends the battery life and reduces power feeding, accurate evaluation and dynamic adjustment reduce safety risks and improve safety, and intelligent adaptation to road conditions and vehicle status improves driving experience.
