Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automotive electronic technology, and specifically to a vehicle electronic and electrical architecture and a fusion control method based on new energy domain control. Background Art

[0002] The design of electronic and electrical architecture belongs to the top-level design. The quality of the architecture directly determines the basic performance, function and safety of the vehicle. The electronic and electrical architecture of most existing new energy commercial vehicles is still in the distributed architecture stage. The whole vehicle is mainly divided into two network segments: power CAN (Controller Area Network) and body CAN. The controllers attached to each CAN bus are independent controllers. New energy related controllers BMS (Battery Management System), ATS (Temperature Control Cooling System), TMS (Thermal Management System), TCU (Transmission Controller), MCU (Motor Control Unit) are all attached to PCAN (Power Control Bus), all-in-one is attached to BCAN (Body Control Bus), and HCU (Vehicle Controller) is connected across PCAN and BCAN. A small number of new energy commercial vehicles with wire control functions adopt a multi-segment architecture with an independent gateway. The whole vehicle is divided into power CAN, body CAN, chassis CAN, intelligent CAN, etc., and the controllers attached to the relevant network segments are also independent controllers.

[0003] New energy vehicles that use dual-segment architecture all use BCM (Body Control Module) or instrument integrated gateway, and the signal interaction between the two segments is completed by BCM or instrument. Models that use independent gateways use the gateway to realize signal interaction between different segments.

[0004] With the development of the automotive industry, the integration of automotive electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing in new energy vehicles, the existing new energy architecture generally has problems such as high controller cost, high bus load rate and latency, and the network architecture is in urgent need of upgrading.

[0005] The costs of new energy related independent controllers HCU, BMS, ATS, TMS, TCU, MCU, and all-in-one are generally high, resulting in a significant increase in the cost of new energy commercial vehicles compared to fuel vehicles. New energy controllers are hung on the same network segment, and there are signal interactions between related controllers, resulting in a high network segment load rate. Taking new energy commercial vehicles with wire control functions as an example, the PCAN load rate is close to 50%, and there are potential risks in the reliability of vehicle communication. At the same time, with the use of independent controllers, each ECU (Electronic Control Unit) has its own independent communication, the high and low voltage wiring harnesses are complex, and the reliability of the vehicle is reduced. In addition, the use of independent controllers will also lead to complex vehicle assembly processes and extended vehicle development cycles and debugging time, which is inappropriate at the moment when new energy vehicles are rapidly iterating. Therefore, how to integrate new energy related controllers has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
