[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.
[0023] In order to solve the above problems, a first embodiment of the present invention proposes a heating control method for an axle half-axle disconnect device, which ensures that the axle half-axle disconnect device can work normally in a low temperature environment by heating the axle half-axle disconnect device.
[0024] Reference below Figure 1 A heating control method for an axle half-shaft disconnect device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The heating control method for an axle half-shaft disconnect device includes steps S1 to S2. The specific steps are as follows.
[0025] Step S1, determining the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device.
[0026] Specifically, in the related art, if the axle half-shaft disconnect device is in a low temperature environment, the axle half-shaft disconnect device may get stuck or fail to execute the action and cannot work normally. Therefore, the present application determines the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device to determine whether the axle half-shaft device cannot work normally.
[0027] Step S2, when the current operating temperature is lower than the lowest operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device, controlling the heating unit to heat the axle half-shaft disconnect device.
[0028] Specifically, when the current operating temperature is lower than the minimum operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device, the axle half-shaft disconnect device cannot work normally due to the low temperature, so the axle half-shaft disconnect device is heated by controlling the heating unit to reduce the oil viscosity and reduce the friction of the action, thereby solving the problem of failure of the axle half-shaft disconnect device in a low temperature environment. Among them, the minimum operating temperature can be obtained through experiments, for example, the minimum operating temperature is set to 9°C, 10°C, 11°C, etc., which can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.
[0029] According to the heating control method of the axle half-axle disconnect device in an embodiment of the present invention, it is determined whether there is a problem of too low temperature causing the axle half-axle disconnect device to fail to work normally through the current operating temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device. When the current operating temperature is lower than the minimum operating temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device, the heating unit is controlled to heat the axle half-axle disconnect device to solve the problem of failure of the axle half-axle disconnect device in a low temperature environment.
[0030] In some embodiments, the axle half-shaft disconnect device includes an electromagnetic coil for controlling the disconnection / engagement of the half-shaft, and determining the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device includes: determining the standard resistance of the electromagnetic coil at the target temperature; determining the input voltage, output voltage and current operating current of the electromagnetic coil when controlling the axle half-shaft disconnect device to perform the disconnection action / engagement action; determining the current resistance of the electromagnetic coil based on the input voltage, output voltage and current operating current; determining the current operating temperature based on the current resistance, target temperature and standard resistance.
[0031] Specifically, the axle half-axle disconnect device has a built-in electromagnetic coil that performs mechanical displacement actions, such as controlling the disconnection / engagement of the half-axle. Therefore, it is in an oil-lubricated environment, and the oil viscosity is greatly affected by temperature. For example, when the oil temperature is at -30°C and 40°C, respectively, the oil viscosity may differ by more than 20 times. When the oil temperature is low, the increase in oil viscosity may cause the driving force of the electromagnetic coil to be unable to overcome the friction resistance, and the half-axle disconnect device may get stuck or fail to execute the action. Based on this, the present application obtains the standard resistance of the electromagnetic coil at the target temperature, and determines the input voltage, output voltage and current operating current of the electromagnetic coil when controlling the axle half-axle disconnect device to perform the disconnection action / engagement action. The target temperature of the electromagnetic coil is calculated through the resistance and temperature characteristics of the electromagnetic coil as the current operating temperature, thereby determining the current operating temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device.
[0032] Among them, the resistance value of most metals in nature will also change with temperature. Based on this characteristic, referring to formula (1) and formula (2), the current operating temperature can be determined. is the solenoid coil input voltage; is the solenoid coil output voltage; is the current working current of the electromagnetic coil; R(T) is the current resistance of the electromagnetic coil; is the temperature coefficient of resistance; is the standard resistance value of the electromagnetic coil at the target temperature; T is the current operating temperature; T0 is the target temperature.
[0033] Formula (1) Formula (2) In some embodiments, the current operating temperature is determined based on the current resistance, target temperature and standard resistance, including: when the vehicle parking time is greater than or equal to a first preset time, obtaining a reference temperature collected by an existing temperature sensor in the vehicle; determining the coil detection temperature based on the current resistance, target temperature and standard resistance; determining the current operating temperature based on the reference temperature and the coil detection temperature.
[0034] Specifically, in a low temperature environment, the resistance value of the electromagnetic coil has a relatively concentrated variation range, that is, within the low temperature range, the resistance values at different temperatures are not much different. Therefore, in a low temperature environment, a comprehensive judgment should be made in combination with the temperature detected by the existing temperature sensor in the vehicle, so as to more accurately determine the current operating temperature. In this application, when the vehicle parking time is greater than or equal to the first preset time, that is, when the vehicle is started for the first time after being parked for a long time, refer to formula (1) to determine the coil detection temperature according to the current resistance and the standard resistance, and then determine the final current operating temperature by the coil detection temperature and the target temperature. For example, the minimum value between the coil detection temperature and the target temperature can be taken as the current operating temperature, or the average value between the coil detection temperature and the target temperature can be taken as the current operating temperature, and so on. There is no restriction on this. In this way, the existing temperature sensor on the vehicle is used to assist in the judgment of the temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device, so that the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device can be accurately determined without adding an additional sensor, thereby reducing the vehicle cost.
[0035] The temperature sensor in the vehicle may be a vehicle ambient temperature sensor, an NTC temperature sensor for detecting the motor operating temperature, or a battery temperature sensor, etc., without limitation. The first preset time length may be set according to actual conditions, for example, the first preset time length may be set to 18 minutes, 19 minutes, 20 minutes, etc., without limitation.
[0036] In some embodiments, determining the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device includes: when the vehicle is in a powered-on state, determining the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device with a second preset time period as a period.
[0037] Specifically, when the vehicle is powered on, in order to ensure that the electromagnetic coil can always respond to the signal of the half-axle disconnection or connection to execute the half-axle disconnection or connection action, that is, the axle half-axle disconnection device is always in normal working condition, the working temperature of the axle half-axle disconnection device is detected every second preset time period to ensure that the current working temperature of the two adjacent monitoring points is not lower than the minimum working temperature. At the same time, it is also convenient to heat the device in time when the temperature is low, so as to ensure that the current working temperature of the axle half-axle disconnection device can always be within the safe working temperature range, thereby ensuring that the axle half-axle disconnection device can always respond and execute the disconnection action / connection action in time, effectively avoiding the problem of failure. Among them, the second preset time period can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the second preset time period is set to 2min, 4min, 5min, 6min, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here. Among them, the safe working temperature range can be set according to actual conditions, for example, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the safe operating temperature range is set to 20~60℃, and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0038] In some embodiments, the heating unit may be a separately provided unit to achieve the heating function of the axle half-shaft disconnect device, or the heating function of the axle half-shaft disconnect device may be achieved using existing equipment on the vehicle, without limitation.
[0039] For example, the heating unit is an electromagnetic coil in the axle half-axle disconnect device, and controlling the heating unit to heat the axle half-axle disconnect device includes: controlling the electromagnetic coil to be energized to heat the axle half-axle disconnect device. In other words, the disconnect device is heated to a safe operating temperature range by energizing the electromagnetic coil of the device itself, thereby reducing the viscosity of the oil, reducing the friction resistance of the electromagnet action, and saving costs. Specifically, the heat generation of the electromagnetic coil can be adjusted by controlling the working current of the electromagnetic coil and / or the duration of energization and heating, thereby realizing the heating function of the device.
[0040] In some embodiments, when controlling the power supply of the electromagnetic coil, it includes: controlling the power supply of the electromagnetic coil with the maximum allowable working current of the electromagnetic coil; determining the heating limit condition; determining the target heating time of the electromagnetic coil according to the heating limit condition and the maximum allowable working current; and controlling the electromagnetic coil according to the target heating time.
[0041] Specifically, by controlling the current passing through the electromagnetic coil to be set to the maximum allowable operating current, the resistance of the electromagnetic coil is used to generate heat to heat the axle axle disconnect device, thereby quickly reducing the viscosity of the oil, solving the problem of action jamming, and increasing the heating rate. Among them, the maximum allowable operating current can be set according to the type of electromagnetic coil, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here. In addition, if the axle axle disconnect device is heated to 100°C, it may fail. Therefore, in order to save energy and avoid the problem of failure of the axle axle disconnect device due to excessive temperature caused by long-term heating, therefore, comprehensive consideration is taken during heating, and the heating time of the heating unit should be limited to prevent overheating and failure.
[0042] In some embodiments, the heating restriction condition is that the operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device reaches a target heating temperature, wherein, at the target heating temperature, the temperature maintenance time of the axle half-shaft disconnect device after stopping heating is greater than a third preset time, wherein the temperature maintenance time is the maintenance time of the current operating temperature of the axle half-shaft disconnect device being greater than or equal to the minimum operating temperature.
[0043] Specifically, after the heating unit stops heating, taking into account both energy conservation and avoiding excessive temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device, it should be ensured that after the axle half-axle disconnect device stops heating after reaching the target heating temperature, under natural cooling, the temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device is greater than or equal to the minimum operating temperature and is maintained for a period of time greater than the third preset time, wherein the third preset time can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the third preset time can be set to 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 6 minutes, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0044] In some embodiments, the target heating temperature can be pre-set through a calibration test. For example, after the test axle half-axle disconnect device is heated to 40°C in a -30°C environment, the temperature can be maintained not lower than the minimum operating temperature within a third preset time period, such as 5 minutes, during natural cooling, so the target heating temperature can be set to 40°C.
[0045] In some embodiments, the target heating temperature can also be calculated in real time based on the actual heating conditions in the following manner, specifically including: determining the heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer area, equivalent heat capacity and equivalent mass of the axle half-axle disconnect device; determining the target heating temperature based on the heat transfer coefficient, heat transfer area, equivalent heat capacity, equivalent mass, a third preset time, the external ambient temperature and the minimum operating temperature.
[0046] And, determining the target heating time of the electromagnetic coil according to the heating restriction conditions includes: determining the required heating power according to the target heating temperature and the current operating temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device before heating; determining the heat transfer coefficient and heat transfer area of the axle half-axle disconnect device; determining the current resistance of the electromagnetic coil; determining the target heating time according to the maximum allowable operating current, the current resistance, the required heating power, the target heating temperature, the external ambient temperature, the heat transfer coefficient, the heat transfer area and the third preset time.
[0047] Specifically, the target heating temperature is determined according to formula (3), where T3 is the minimum operating temperature, is the third preset duration; is the equivalent heat capacity of the axle half-shaft disconnect device; is the equivalent mass of the axle half-axle disconnect device; t1 is the target heating time; h is the heat exchange coefficient between the device and the external environment; a is the heat exchange area between the device and the external environment; T amb is the ambient temperature; T1 is the target heating temperature. It should be noted that, when the vehicle is parked for a period greater than or equal to the first preset period, the minimum value between the coil detection temperature and the target temperature can be used as the current operating temperature; and when the vehicle is powered on, the current operating temperature of the axle half-axle disconnect device is determined with the second preset period as a period.
[0048] Formula (3) Referring to formula (6), the required heating power is first determined, and then the target heating time t1 of the electromagnetic coil is determined by combining formula (4) and formula (5). Wherein, t2=t1+third preset time t3; Q in is the temperature rise required for the axle half-shaft disconnect device; is the heat dissipation of the axle half-axle disconnect device within the third preset time; where (Qin-Qloss) is the required heating power. in is the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil during time t1, under which, after the device stops heating, the axle half-axle disconnect device can be kept at a temperature not lower than the minimum operating temperature during the third preset time under natural cooling, is the maximum allowable operating current, Q loss It is the heat dissipation of natural cooling within the third preset time period after heating to the target operating temperature and stopping heating.

[0052] According to the vehicle 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the problem of failure of the axle half-axle disconnect device in a low temperature environment can be solved by executing the heating control method of the above embodiment through the controller.
