Description

[0002] In recent years, in order to achieve low carbonization of energy-saving vehicles, traditional fuel vehicles are gradually developing into oil-electric hybrid models, among which series-parallel hybrid models are widely adopted because they take into account the advantages of both series hybrid and parallel hybrid vehicles. In the related technology, most of the clutches used for series-parallel hybrid control are hydraulic clutches, which are inherited from traditional clutches. The clutch closing torque transmission and the disengagement of the master and slave discs are realized through the hydraulic structure, and two-way torque transmission can be realized. The engagement and disengagement process of the master and slave discs of the hydraulic clutch must follow a strict timing control process. For example, during the clutch engagement process, the speed difference between the master and slave discs must be within the threshold range before the clutch can be requested to be pressed and closed, so as to avoid excessive speed difference causing wear, heating and even failure of the master and slave discs. The clutch disengagement process is similar. The clutch torque needs to be unloaded to zero before the clutch can be requested to open, otherwise the speed of the engine end will rise very quickly.

[0047] First, some technical terms in the present application are explained to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand the present application.

[0048] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for series-parallel switching of a hybrid vehicle.

[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for series-parallel switching of a hybrid vehicle of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method for series-parallel switching of a hybrid vehicle includes:

[0051] Step S10: determining a current driving mode of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the driving mode includes a series driving mode and a parallel driving mode;

[0052] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the switchable roller one-way clutch is in the disconnected state, the engine end and the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch are disconnected, and it is determined that the current hybrid vehicle is in the series drive mode. When the hybrid vehicle is in the series drive mode, the engine end and the wheel end are disconnected, and the engine cannot directly transmit torque to the wheel through the clutch to make the wheel rotate. At this time, the power source of the wheel is the motor, and the motor directly transmits torque to the wheel to make the wheel rotate. That is to say, when the vehicle is in the series drive mode, the power of the vehicle comes from the kinetic energy of the motor, not the kinetic energy of the engine.

[0053] When it is detected that the engine end and the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch are closed, it is determined that the current hybrid vehicle is in parallel drive mode. When the hybrid vehicle is in parallel drive mode, the engine end and the wheel end are closed, the engine can directly transmit torque to the wheel through the clutch to make the wheel rotate, and the motor also transmits torque to the wheel to make the wheel rotate, that is, when the vehicle is in parallel drive mode, the power of the vehicle comes from the kinetic energy of the motor and the kinetic energy of the engine at the same time.

[0054] The working principle of the switchable roller one-way clutch is as follows: when the hybrid vehicle switches from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode, the electromagnetic relay on the switchable roller one-way clutch is powered on and closed, and the roller in the clutch is pressed into the wide-area track. As the speed of the engine end increases, when it is increased to a speed greater than that of the wheel end, the roller is pushed to the narrow-area track, and then the roller is tightly clamped by the narrow-area track, thereby transmitting the torque of the engine end to the wheel end. When the hybrid vehicle switches from the parallel drive mode to the series drive mode, the electromagnetic relay on the switchable roller one-way clutch is de-energized. At this time, the clutch cannot be immediately bounced off by the spring sheet on the clutch because the roller is still stuck in the narrow-area track. When the speed of the engine end slowly decreases and drops below the preset threshold of the wheel end speed, the roller rolls to the wide-area track and will not be stuck by the track. In addition, at this time, due to the de-energization of the electromagnetic relay, the clutch loses its magnetic attraction, and the two ends of the clutch will be immediately bounced off by the spring sheet on it.

[0055] Step S20: if it is determined that the series drive mode needs to be switched to the parallel drive mode, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to be closed according to the obtained engine end speed and wheel end speed of the switchable roller one-way clutch, so as to complete the switching of the hybrid vehicle from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode;

[0056] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the vehicle needs to switch from series drive mode to parallel drive mode, and the speed of the engine end of the clutch is lower than the speed of the wheel end, the electromagnetic relay is directly controlled to energize and close it, and the roller in the clutch is pressed into the wide-area track. At this time, the switch from series mode to parallel mode is completed.

[0057] After the switch from series mode to parallel mode is completed, the engine speed is controlled to increase slowly. When the engine speed is detected to be higher than the wheel speed, the roller is pushed into the narrow track and is tightly stuck, and the torque of the engine is transmitted to the wheel through the roller. When the engine speed is detected to be higher than the wheel speed, the GCU and the engine are controlled to reduce the engine speed together until it drops below the wheel speed, and the electromagnetic relay is energized to close it, and then the control process after the above closing is carried out.

[0058] Step S30: If it is determined that the parallel drive mode needs to be switched to the series drive mode, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to be disconnected according to the obtained speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch to complete the switching of the hybrid vehicle from the parallel drive mode to the series drive mode.

[0059] For example, when it is detected that the vehicle is in parallel drive mode and needs to be switched to series drive mode, the electromagnetic relay is controlled to be de-energized to eliminate the magnetic attraction between the two ends of the clutch, and the torque transmitted from the engine end to the wheel end is eliminated, and then the speed of the engine end is reduced to generate a speed difference between the two ends of the clutch. When it is determined that a speed difference occurs between the two ends of the clutch, the roller will roll from the narrow track to the wide track, and the roller will no longer be tightly stuck by the narrow track. The two ends of the clutch will be automatically bounced open by the spring sheets therein, thereby completing the disconnection of the clutch, that is, completing the switch from the parallel drive mode to the series drive mode.

[0060] In this embodiment, by determining the current driving mode of the hybrid vehicle, wherein the driving mode includes a series driving mode and a parallel driving mode; if the driving mode is the series driving mode, then according to the obtained rotational speed of the engine end and the rotational speed of the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to be closed, so as to complete the switching of the hybrid vehicle from the series driving mode to the parallel driving mode; if the driving mode is the parallel driving mode, then according to the obtained rotational speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to be disconnected, so as to complete the switching of the hybrid vehicle from the parallel driving mode to the series driving mode, thereby solving the technical problems that the price cost of the hydraulic clutch used in the related art is high, the control process of the series-parallel switching of the hybrid vehicle must be strictly carried out according to the steps, and the control is not flexible enough. This embodiment can make the control process of the series-parallel switching of the hybrid vehicle lower in cost, simpler and more flexible.

[0061] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 For this application Figure 1 Detailed flow chart of step S20 in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the control of closing the switchable roller one-way clutch according to the acquired engine end speed and wheel end speed of the switchable roller one-way clutch comprises:

[0062] Step S21: determining a first target speed of the engine end according to the actual speed of the wheel end obtained;

[0063] Exemplarily, the engine speed is obtained, and the obtained engine speed minus the preset threshold is used as the first target engine speed. The first target speed needs to be lower than the preset threshold of the actual speed of the wheel end, so that the engine speed and the wheel end speed form a deviation. This deviation is not only a hardware characteristic requirement for clutch engagement, but also a smoothness control from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode through this deviation space.

[0064] Specifically, determining the first target speed of the engine end according to the acquired actual speed of the wheel end includes: subtracting a first preset threshold from the actual speed of the wheel end as the first target speed.

[0065] For example, if the actual speed of the wheel end is 3000rpm, the first target speed of the engine end can be set to 2900rpm. At this time, the speed deviation between the engine end and the wheel end is 100rpm, and the speed difference between the two ends of the clutch is 100rpm. The electromagnetic relay is energized to close it, and the roller in the clutch is pressed into the wide-area track. Then, the speed difference is reduced to zero at a preset speed, so that the roller rolls toward the narrow-area track at a steady speed, so that the roller and the track do not generate a large collision force, thereby damaging the clutch.

[0066] Step S22: determining the magnitude relationship between the acquired rotation speed of the engine end and the first target rotation speed;

[0067] For example, the obtained engine end speed is 2500 rpm, and the first target speed is 2600 rpm. At this time, the engine end speed is less than the first target speed. For another example, the obtained engine end speed is 2700 rpm, and the first target speed is 2800 rpm. At this time, the generator end speed is higher than the first target speed.

[0068] Step S23: If it is determined that the rotation speed of the engine end is less than the first target rotation speed, the electromagnetic relay on the switchable roller one-way clutch is immediately energized and closed to drive the switchable roller one-way clutch to close.

[0069] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the speed at the engine end is less than the first target speed, that is, the speed at the engine end is less than the actual speed preset threshold at the wheel end, the electromagnetic relay on the clutch is energized to close it, and the roller in the clutch will be pressed into the wide-area track in the clutch, completing the switch from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode.

[0070] Step S24: If the speed of the engine end is greater than or equal to the first target speed, the speed of the engine end is reduced to below the first target speed; if it is determined that the speed of the engine end is less than the first target speed, the electromagnetic relay on the switchable roller one-way clutch is immediately energized and closed to drive the switchable roller one-way clutch to close.

[0071] Exemplarily, the engine torque is controlled to be reduced to the second target torque requirement. The second target torque requirement can be based on the first target speed combined with the engine's universal characteristic curve to find a torque that makes the fuel efficiency the highest as the second target torque requirement of the engine, so as to reduce the engine speed to below the target speed. At the same time, the GCU is controlled to output a torque to the engine, which can control the engine speed to be reduced to below the first target speed more quickly and stably.

[0072] According to the first target speed and the preset engine universal characteristic curve, the second target required torque of the engine is obtained. For example, if the first target speed is 2900rpm, this value is found on the horizontal axis of the engine universal characteristic curve, and then the contour with the largest value in the fuel efficiency contour is found, such as the contour with the largest value of 45% fuel efficiency, and the intersection of the vertical line where 2900rpm is located and the contour with the highest fuel efficiency is found. An intersection matching the power or load of the vehicle is selected as the target intersection among multiple intersections, and then the torque corresponding to the target intersection is found on the vertical axis as the second target required torque of the engine, and then the torque output to the wheel by the engine is controlled to be reduced to the target required torque at the preset speed. The control GCU will adjust the speed to the second target speed, and the first target speed minus the preset threshold is used as the second target speed of the GCU, which can prevent the engine speed from exceeding the first target speed when the speed fluctuates; when it is detected that the speed of the GCU reaches the second target speed and the torque of the engine reaches the second target required torque, the speed of the engine end will be controlled to be lowered to below the first target speed.

[0073] When it is determined that the clutch is in a fully closed state, the speed of the GCU is controlled to be maintained at the second target speed for the first preset time, that is, the speed difference between the two ends of the clutch is controlled to be maintained within the preset speed difference range for the first preset time, and then the torque transmitted to the engine by the GCU is controlled to be reduced. At this time, the negative torque received by the engine will slowly decrease, and its speed will slowly increase until it is consistent with the speed of the wheel end. In this process, the rollers in the clutch slowly roll from the wide-area track to the narrow-area track and fit closely with the track. Then the engine end starts to transmit torque to the wheel end, that is, the engine starts to drive the wheels to rotate, and then the torque transmitted to the engine by the GCU is controlled to be reduced to zero at a very fast speed.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first target speed of the engine end is determined according to the actual speed of the wheel end obtained; the relationship between the speed of the engine end obtained and the first target speed is determined; if it is determined that the speed of the engine end is less than the first target speed, the electromagnetic relay on the switchable roller one-way clutch is immediately energized and closed to drive the switchable roller one-way clutch to close, thereby solving the technical problem that the control process of switching from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode in the related art is not flexible enough and has high cost. This embodiment can make the control process of switching from the series drive mode to the parallel drive mode simpler, more flexible and more economical.

[0075] Further, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 For this application Figure 1 Detailed flow chart of step S30 in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the control of disconnecting the switchable roller one-way clutch according to the acquired speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end of the switchable roller one-way clutch comprises:

[0076] Step S31: determining the speed control target value of the engine end according to the acquired speed of the wheel end and the preset standard speed difference;

[0077] Exemplarily, the speed at the wheel end is subtracted from a preset standard speed difference, and then subtracted from a second preset threshold value as the speed control target value at the engine end.

[0078] Specifically, determining the first target speed of the engine end based on the actual speed of the wheel end includes: obtaining the actual speed of the wheel end and a first preset threshold; determining the first target speed of the engine end based on a first preset formula, the actual speed of the wheel end and the first preset threshold.

[0079] For example, if the acquired rotation speed of the wheel end is 3000 rpm, the preset standard rotation speed difference is 50 rpm, and the first preset threshold value is 10 rpm, then the speed control target value of the engine end is 3000 rpm-50 rpm-10 rpm=2940 rpm.

[0080] Step S32: regulating the speed of the engine end according to the speed regulation target value of the engine end;

[0081] Demonstratively, the engine speed is controlled to drop to the speed target value. For example, if the speed target value obtained is 2940rpm, the engine speed is controlled to be adjusted to 2940rpm. The specific process is: find the speed target value 2940rpm on the horizontal axis of the engine universal characteristic curve, and then find the contour line with the largest value in the fuel efficiency contour line, such as 45% fuel efficiency is the contour line with the largest value. Find the intersection of the vertical line where 2900rpm is located and the contour line with the highest fuel efficiency, and select an intersection that matches the power or load of the vehicle from multiple intersections as the target intersection, and then find the torque corresponding to the target intersection on the vertical axis as 100N·m, as the first target required torque of the engine. After determining that the first target required torque is 100N·m, the torque output by the engine to the wheels will be reduced to 100N·m at a preset speed. The feedforward demand torque of GCU is obtained according to the actual torque of the engine. For example, if the actual torque of the engine is 180N·m, it is necessary to control GCU to output a torque of -80N·m to the engine to control the engine torque of 180N·m to 100N·m, and -80N·m is the feedforward demand torque of GCU. When the torque of GCU is controlled to reach the feedforward demand torque of -80N·m, the engine speed target value of 2900rpm is used as the third speed target value of GCU at this time. The target torque of GCU is obtained according to the third target speed of GCU. VCU obtains the speed difference between the actual speed of GCU and the third speed target value of GCU in real time, and the PID controller calculates the target torque of GCU according to the speed difference. When the torque of the engine is controlled to drop to the target demand torque, and the torque of GCU reaches the sum of the feedforward demand torque and the target torque, the speed of the engine will reach the speed target value.

[0082] Step S33: when it is detected that the speed of the engine end drops to the speed regulation target value, obtaining the speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end;

[0083] Exemplarily, when the speed of the detected engine end drops to a target value, the speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end may fluctuate in real time, and the speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end needs to be acquired in real time.

[0084] Step S34: comparing the acquired speed difference with the preset standard speed difference, and when the speed difference is greater than the preset standard speed difference, controlling the switchable roller one-way clutch to automatically disconnect.

[0085] Exemplarily, when it is detected that the speed difference is greater than the preset standard speed difference, the roller in the clutch is driven by the engine end to roll into the wide-area track, and the roller is no longer squeezed by the narrow-area track, so that it can be automatically bounced open by the spring sheet in the clutch, that is, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to automatically disconnect.

[0086] Specifically, before controlling the switchable roller one-way clutch to automatically disconnect, it also includes: determining whether the switchable roller one-way clutch is currently in a disconnected state; when it is determined that the switchable roller one-way clutch is not disconnected, powering off the electromagnetic relay to eliminate the magnetic attraction between the electromagnetic relays.

[0087] Exemplarily, when it is determined to start controlling the switchable roller one-way clutch to automatically disconnect, it is necessary to control the electromagnetic relay to be de-energized in advance to eliminate the influence of the residual current of the electromagnetic relay, so that the magnetic attraction between the electromagnetic relays disappears before the clutch needs to be disconnected.

[0088] In the present embodiment, the speed control target value of the engine end is determined according to the obtained rotational speed of the wheel end and the preset standard rotational speed difference; the rotational speed of the engine end is controlled according to the speed control target value of the engine end; when it is detected that the rotational speed of the engine end drops to the speed control target value, the rotational speed difference between the engine end and the wheel end is obtained; the obtained rotational speed difference is compared with the preset standard rotational speed difference, and when the rotational speed difference is greater than the preset standard rotational speed difference, the switchable roller one-way clutch is controlled to automatically disconnect, thereby solving the technical problem that the control process of switching from the parallel drive mode to the series drive mode in the related art is not flexible enough and has high cost.
