Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of fault diagnosis of flying car power systems, and in particular to a method and system for diagnosing cross-coupling faults in hybrid propulsion systems. Background Technology

[0002] Flying cars, representing the future of transportation, combine the characteristics of automobiles and aircraft, effectively alleviating ground traffic congestion. With technological advancements and electrification, hybrid propulsion systems are increasingly being applied to the flying car field, playing a crucial role. In flying car hybrid propulsion systems, there is a significant coupling between the motion states in the air and on the ground, and complex coupling exists between the functions of various actuators in the propulsion system (such as turboshaft engines and electric motors). How to fully consider these cross-coupling relationships and effectively apply them to system fault prediction has become a pressing technical challenge for the industry. Currently, research on fault diagnosis for flying car hybrid propulsion systems is not yet comprehensive, but some existing related technical solutions can provide some reference for research in this field. For example, Chinese invention patent application number CN202310030052.2, entitled "A Flying Car Drive-by-Wire Chassis Control System," mentions that flying cars should be suitable for both land and air use; therefore, the chassis system structure should have redundancy characteristics to function in fault diagnosis and special circumstances. The fault diagnosis module of its drive-by-wire chassis system considers the coupling relationship between the air and the ground. It obtains the expected data input through signal reception and processing, acquires real-time data input through the detection system, and performs fault diagnosis after preprocessing. Chinese invention patent application number CN 202210917909.8, entitled "Self-testing method, device and computer-readable storage medium for flying car", proposes to divide the flying car system into a flight system and a land system. Each of the two systems contains multiple subsystems. The parameters of each subsystem are diagnosed separately to form a target control strategy. Chinese invention patent application number CN 202410916533.8, entitled "Diagnostic method, device and medium for hybrid vehicle", proposes to use the coupling of the engine and drive motor and the separate coupling of the processor to perform fault diagnosis of vehicle components, engine components and drive motor components.

[0003] However, while these existing technologies have addressed the fault diagnosis problem in hybrid propulsion systems to some extent, they still have two main shortcomings: First, in terms of fault prediction, existing technologies mostly focus on fault prediction for a single actuator or under specific operating conditions, neglecting the functional coupling between different actuators and the interactive effects during air-to-ground transitions. Because they fail to fully utilize the coupling characteristics within and outside the system, these solutions often cannot accurately predict fault occurrences in complex operating conditions. Second, in the design of fault diagnosis methods, existing technologies typically perform fault diagnosis on a single component or under a single operating condition, failing to fully consider the functional cross-coupling between actuators within the system. This approach ignores the possibility of maintaining the overall system function by utilizing the functional coupling of other actuators when some system functions fail, resulting in lower reliability of diagnostic results under complex operating conditions.

[0004] Therefore, developing a fault diagnosis method that can comprehensively utilize the coupling characteristics between actuators and between air and ground conditions in a hybrid propulsion system has become an important issue for improving the reliability and safety of hybrid propulsion systems. This invention aims to provide a fault diagnosis method for hybrid propulsion systems based on cross-coupling characteristics. Through in-depth analysis of the system's coupling characteristics, it improves the accuracy of fault prediction and diagnosis, ensuring efficient operation and stability of the system under complex conditions.
