[0038] The exemplary embodiments are now described in a more comprehensive manner with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be understood as being limited to these examples; on the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make this application more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0039] In addition, the features, structures or characteristics described in the present application may be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, there are many specific details so that the embodiments of the present application can be fully understood. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that when implementing the technical scheme of the present application, all the detailed features in the embodiments may not be needed, one or more specific details may be omitted, or other methods, elements, devices, steps, etc. may be adopted.

[0040] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities may be implemented in software form, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0041] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only exemplary and do not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor must they be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be decomposed, and some operations / steps can be combined or partially combined, so the actual execution order may change according to actual conditions.

[0042] It should be noted that the "multiple" mentioned in this article refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0043] It is understandable that in the specific implementation of this application, related data such as target object information is involved. When the above embodiments of this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of relevant data need to comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards of relevant countries and regions.

[0044] In one embodiment, the method of the present application is applied to a hybrid power system based on a power split transmission. In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the principle of the power split transmission is explained. For the power split transmission, the transmission has different structures with a sun gear as input and a ring gear as output, and a planetary carrier as input and a ring gear as output. Since there is a certain speed ratio between the sun gear, the planetary gear, and the ring gear, no matter what structure, it will be affected by the speed fluctuation of the input shaft, which is amplified by the speed ratio, so that the ring gear and the output gear and the idle gear will knock. When the power SOC is not full, the engine outputs a certain torque at idle speed, the GCU has a power generation demand, and the GCU is in a negative torque state, which suppresses the torsional vibration fluctuation of the transmission system and is not easy to knock. When the battery SOC is fully charged, the GCU has no power generation demand. At this time, the GCU torque is low, close to 0Nm, and the engine speed fluctuation is affected by the combustion characteristics. It is inevitable. The speed fluctuation of the input shaft is amplified by the speed ratio of the planetary gear, and a certain section of the transmission system has no damping to limit the fluctuation of the transmission system, which will easily cause gear knocking.

[0045] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a control method for a hybrid power system, which includes: obtaining the vehicle speed; if the vehicle speed is lower than a speed threshold, obtaining the remaining power of the vehicle; if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, adjusting the engine's operating state according to the thermal management requirements in the vehicle; if the engine is in a starting state, controlling the generator to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0046] In this way, if the vehicle speed is less than the vehicle speed threshold, it is considered that the current vehicle is in a stationary state. When the vehicle is in a stationary state, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a fully charged state. If it is in a fully charged state, it is considered that no charging is required. Next, it is necessary to further determine whether the engine needs to be started to meet the thermal management requirements. If the engine needs to be started to meet the thermal management requirements, an engine start signal is sent to start the engine. When the engine is in the starting state, the engine enters the self-idling condition. Under this condition, the generator outputs a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque, thereby improving the torsional vibration of the transmission system. By reducing the speed fluctuation of the transmission system, the gear knocking noise phenomenon is improved, thereby improving the vehicle NVH performance under specific conditions.

[0047] The self-idling in this application refers to a state where the engine is started but the output torque is 0.

[0048] The implementation details of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application are described in detail below:

[0049] Figure 1 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the control method of the hybrid power system can be executed by a controller. Figure 1 As shown, the control method of the hybrid power system at least includes S101 to S104, which are described in detail as follows:

[0050] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, obtaining the vehicle speed can help determine whether the vehicle is in a stationary state or a moving state.

[0052] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the vehicle speed threshold can be set to 3km / h, for example. When the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the vehicle is in a stationary state, i.e., an idling state. When the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power (SOC) of the vehicle is obtained to monitor the SOC power state. By mastering the SOC power state, it is helpful to further determine whether the engine enters the self-idling stage, and then control the self-idling control logic to improve the gear knocking problem generated under the self-idling condition.

[0054] When the vehicle speed is higher than the speed threshold, it is considered that the vehicle has a driving demand. If the vehicle speed is higher than the speed threshold, the control logic is exited.

[0055] In S103, if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, the operating state of the engine is adjusted according to the thermal management requirements in the vehicle.

[0056] In some optional embodiments, the setting of the power threshold can be set to 90%, for example, or it can float within a range around 90%. As long as it is within the allowable error range, the conditions are met. Because in a low temperature environment, the engine needs to be started to meet the requirements of in-vehicle thermal management, the engine cannot be shut down in this case. When the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, it is considered that the power is fully charged. At this time, it may be necessary to start the engine to meet the thermal management requirements. Therefore, the working state of the engine needs to be adjusted according to the thermal management requirements of the vehicle. Among them, the working state of the engine includes engine starting and engine stopping.

[0057] When the remaining power is lower than the power threshold, it means that the battery needs to be charged, the engine will not idle, and the control logic will exit.

[0058] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0059] In some optional embodiments, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque, and by controlling the generator to output a balancing torque, the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque is reduced, thereby improving the torsional vibration of the transmission system. By reducing the speed fluctuation of the transmission system, the gear knocking noise phenomenon is improved.

[0060] Specifically, for controlling the generator output balancing torque, the VCU sends instructions to the I PU (Integrated Power Unit) to apply a certain positive torque to the GCU. The GCU torque can be set to +3Nm. In this way, by applying a certain positive torque to the GCU, the battery can be actively discharged to make the battery SOC lower than the set threshold as soon as possible. In addition, the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque can be reduced to achieve the purpose of reducing the torsional vibration of the transmission system. In addition, the load can be increased to suppress the torsional vibration fluctuation of the transmission system.

[0061] In the technical solutions provided in some embodiments of the present application, if the vehicle speed is less than the vehicle speed threshold, it is considered that the current vehicle is in a stationary state. When the vehicle is in a stationary state, it is determined whether the vehicle is in a fully charged state. If it is in a fully charged state, it is considered that no charging is required. Next, it is necessary to further determine whether the engine needs to be started to meet the thermal management requirements. If the engine needs to be started to meet the thermal management requirements, an engine start signal is sent to start the engine. When the engine is in the starting state, the engine enters the self-idling condition. Under this condition, the generator outputs a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque, thereby improving the torsional vibration of the transmission system. By reducing the speed fluctuation of the transmission system, the gear knocking noise phenomenon is improved, thereby improving the NVH performance of the vehicle under specific conditions.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0063] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0064] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0065] The specific processing process and related instructions of S101-S102 can refer to the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0066] In S201 , if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, an air conditioning signal is acquired.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, when the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, the vehicle is considered to be in a fully charged state. The air conditioning signal is obtained to determine whether the in-vehicle thermal management requirements need to be met, and then to determine whether to start the engine. The air conditioning signal includes a heating signal and a non-heating signal. If the air conditioning signal is 1, it is a heating signal, and if the air conditioning signal is 0, it is a non-heating state.

[0068] If the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, a control signal is sent to the motor controller to control the generator control unit to be at a set power.

[0069] In S202, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the working state of the engine is adjusted according to the ambient temperature.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, if the air conditioning signal is an air conditioning signal, it is considered that the thermal management requirement needs to be met, and the working state of the engine needs to be adjusted according to the ambient temperature.

[0071] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0072] The specific processing process and related instructions of this step can refer to the technical solution of the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0073] In this way, if the remaining power is higher than the battery threshold, the air conditioning signal is obtained, and the air conditioning signal is used to determine whether the thermal management needs of the vehicle need to be met. When the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, it is considered that the thermal management needs need to be met, and at this time, it is necessary to further determine whether the engine needs to be started based on the ambient temperature.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0075] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0076] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0077] In S201 , if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, an air conditioning signal is acquired.

[0078] The specific processing process and related instructions of S101-S201 can refer to the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0079] In S301, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the ambient temperature is obtained.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, it is considered that there is a thermal management demand at this time, and then the ambient temperature needs to be obtained to further determine whether the engine needs to be started, that is, to determine whether there is a strong heating demand based on the ambient temperature.

[0081] If the air conditioning signal is not a heating signal, an engine shutdown signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a shutdown state.

[0082] In S302, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a start state.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the temperature threshold setting can be set to -15°C, for example. When the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, it is considered that the temperature is low. In order to meet thermal management requirements, the engine needs to be started. At this time, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to start the engine.

[0084] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0085] The specific processing process and related instructions of this step can refer to the technical solution of the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0086] Thus, when the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, it is considered that the temperature is low and there is a strong heating demand. In order to meet the thermal management demand, the engine needs to be started, and an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to start the engine.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0088] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0089] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0090] In S201 , if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, an air conditioning signal is acquired.

[0091] In S301, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the ambient temperature is obtained.

[0092] In S302, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a start state.

[0093] The specific processing process and related instructions of S101-S201 can refer to the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0094] In S401, if the ambient temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, it is determined whether PTC power exists.

[0095] In S402, the working state of the engine is adjusted according to the PTC power.

[0096] In some optional embodiments, when the ambient temperature is greater than a temperature threshold, it is determined whether a PTC exists, thereby facilitating thermal management control.

[0097] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0098] The specific processing process and related instructions of this step can refer to the technical solution of the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0099] In this way, when the ambient temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, it is determined whether PTC exists, which is beneficial for thermal management control.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0101] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0102] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0103] In S201 , if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, an air conditioning signal is acquired.

[0104] In S301, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the ambient temperature is obtained.

[0105] In S302, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a start state.

[0106] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0107] In S401, if the ambient temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, it is determined whether PTC power exists.

[0108] The specific processing process and related instructions of S101-S401 can refer to the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0109] In S501, if there is PTC power, after the PTC heating setting time is performed, an engine stop signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a stop state.

[0110] In some optional embodiments, if there is PTC, then directly use PTC to heat, and do not need to start the engine.At this moment, send engine shutdown signal to the engine management system, so that the engine is in shutdown state.

[0111] Like this, if there is PTC, then directly use PTC to carry out heating, and do not need to start the engine.At this moment, send engine shutdown signal to engine management system, so that the engine is in shutdown state.

[0112] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 6 , Figure 6 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0113] In S101 , the vehicle speed is acquired.

[0114] In S102, if the vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed threshold, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained.

[0115] In S201 , if the remaining power is higher than the power threshold, an air conditioning signal is acquired.

[0116] In S301, if the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the ambient temperature is obtained.

[0117] In S302, if the ambient temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a start state.

[0118] In S401, if the ambient temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, it is determined whether there is PTC power;

[0119] In S501, if there is PTC power, after the PTC heating setting time is performed, an engine stop signal is sent to the engine management system to put the engine in a stop state.

[0120] The specific processing process and related instructions of S101-S501 can refer to the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0121] In S601 , if there is no PTC power, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system so that the engine is in a start state.

[0122] In some optional embodiments, if the PTC power is not present, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system so that the engine is in a start state to meet the thermal management requirements.

[0123] In S104, if the engine is in the starting state, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque to reduce the difference between the engine output torque and the load torque.

[0124] The specific processing process and related instructions of this step can refer to the technical solution of the aforementioned embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0125] In this way, if there is no PTC power, an engine start signal is sent to the engine management system so that the engine is in a start state to meet the thermal management requirements.

[0126] In one embodiment of the present application, before controlling the generator to output a balancing torque, the method further includes:

[0127] Determine whether the catalyst heating conditions are met when the engine is started;

[0128] If the catalyst heating conditions are met, the engine management system is controlled to heat the catalyst;

[0129] After the catalyst is heated up, the generator is controlled to output a balancing torque.

[0130] In this way, by judging whether the catalyst heating conditions are met when the engine is started, it is further helpful to judge whether to control the generator to output a balanced torque.

[0131] In order to understand the technical solution of this application as a whole, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 A flow chart of a control method of a hybrid power system according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The control method of the hybrid power system includes:

[0132] Get the vehicle speed;

[0133] If the vehicle speed is lower than 3km / h, the remaining power of the vehicle is obtained; if the vehicle speed is higher than 3km / h, the control logic is exited;

[0134] If the remaining power is greater than or equal to 90%, the VCU allocates GCU power generation to zero and obtains the air conditioning signal; if the remaining power is less than 90%, the control logic is exited;

[0135] If the air conditioning signal is a heating signal, the ambient temperature is obtained; if the air conditioning signal is a non-heating signal, the VCU sends an engine shutdown signal;

[0136] If the ambient temperature is less than or equal to -15°C, the VCU sends an engine shutdown signal;

[0137] If the ambient temperature is greater than -15°C, determine whether PTC power exists;

[0138] If PTC power exists, the VCU sends an engine shutdown signal after the PTC heating setting time;

[0139] If there is no PTC power, the VCU sends an engine shutdown signal;

[0140] If the engine is in the starting state, determine whether the catalyst heating conditions are met when the engine is started;

[0141] If the catalyst heating conditions are met, the engine management system is controlled to heat the catalyst;

[0142] After the catalyst heating is completed, the engine enters the self-idle control logic, and the VCU sends the GCU+3Nm torque.

[0143] In this way, by optimizing the VCU control strategy, the torque of the GCU is increased, the torsional vibration of the transmission system is reduced, the gear knocking phenomenon of the transmission is improved, and the NVH level of the hybrid vehicle and plug-in hybrid vehicle under self-idling conditions is improved.
