Among them, the motor reverse drag starting method refers to the motor as a power source to drive the engine to start, and the driving reverse drag starting method refers to using the vehicle's driving inertia to reverse the engine and inject fuel to start. And under most vehicle driving conditions, the starter is often used to start the engine; however, due to the limited life of the starter, frequent starting and stopping will greatly reduce the service life of the starter and increase the cost of vehicle use, while the motor reverse drag starting method requires the gearbox to be in a neutral state. The conditions are harsh and difficult to achieve. At the same time, the driving reverse drag has the problem of poor comfort due to the control accuracy of the pneumatic clutch and the motor torque compensation. Summary of the invention

[0020] Figure 1 It is a flow chart of an optional engine start control method for a P2 architecture hybrid vehicle provided according to an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an engine start control method for a P2 architecture hybrid vehicle, comprising: when the vehicle has a start demand:

[0024] S1 determines whether the vehicle has a tendency to shift gears based on the vehicle operating conditions;

[0025] S2 determines whether the vehicle meets the preset conditions for reverse motor starting according to the vehicle operating conditions;

[0026] S3: If the vehicle has a tendency to shift gears and the vehicle meets the preset conditions for starting the engine by reverse dragging of the motor, the start command is suppressed until the vehicle shifts gears and the transmission is disengaged, and the start command is controlled to be issued so that the motor reverse drags the engine to start.

[0027] Specifically, when the vehicle needs to start, that is, when the vehicle needs the participation of the engine, for example, when a higher power output is required, such as high-speed driving, climbing or accelerating, the engine needs to be started to provide additional power to ensure vehicle performance; in a low temperature environment, the engine may need to be started to warm up, improve the fluidity of the lubricating oil, and protect the internal parts of the engine; or when the vehicle's air conditioning system or other auxiliary equipment powered by the engine is started, especially in electric mode, the engine may need to be started for mechanical accessories to work. Then at this time, it is determined whether the vehicle has a shifting trend. If the vehicle has a shifting trend, then in a short time, the transmission will shift and be unloaded. At the unloading moment, the motor is decoupled from the vehicle wheel end, and the engine can be reversely started. Therefore, the motor can be used to reversely start the engine. Therefore, when the vehicle has a need to start and it is identified that the vehicle has a shifting trend, the issuance of the start command can be suppressed first, waiting for the vehicle to shift, and the start command is sent after the transmission is unloaded to realize the reverse start of the motor. Among them, the start command refers to the command signal used to control the start of the engine.

[0028] In addition, in order to realize the reverse start of the engine by the motor, the vehicle needs to meet the preset conditions of the motor reverse start. The preset conditions, i.e., the minimum conditions that the motor can reverse start the engine, are not further limited in this application and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0029] This control method can greatly increase the number of times the engine is started by reverse dragging with an electric motor, thereby reducing the number of times the starter is used, and can greatly extend the service life of the starter, thereby reducing the use cost of the vehicle.

[0030] In addition, it should be noted that a preset inhibition time can also be set, that is, if the vehicle has a tendency to shift gears and the vehicle meets the preset conditions for the motor to reverse start, after the start instruction is issued, if the transmission has not shifted gears within the preset time, the start instruction will be directly issued without waiting for the shifting moment. However, this application does not limit the preset inhibition time, which can be determined according to the selection and working conditions of the whole vehicle.

[0031] As an optional implementation, judging whether the vehicle has a gear shifting tendency according to the vehicle operating condition includes: judging whether the acceleration of the whole vehicle is a positive value.

[0032] Specifically, whether the vehicle is accelerating can be used as a condition to characterize whether the vehicle has an accelerating gear shifting tendency. It is judged whether the vehicle is accelerating, that is, whether there is a gear shifting tendency. If the vehicle has a gear shifting tendency, the start command is suppressed until the transmission gear is disengaged. At this time, the engine is started by reverse dragging using the motor.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the preset conditions for the motor reverse starter include: the vehicle high-voltage system is normal, the motor is enabled normally, and the remaining power of the power battery reaches a preset power.

[0034] Specifically, when the vehicle's high-voltage system is normal, the motor is enabled normally, and the remaining power of the power battery reaches a preset power level, the motor can reversely start the engine when the vehicle is unloaded, ensuring stable starting of the engine and improving the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0035] As an optional implementation, it also includes: if the vehicle has no tendency to shift gears, and / or the vehicle does not meet the preset conditions for motor reverse starting, controlling the start command to be issued directly.

[0036] As an optional implementation, after the control of directly issuing the start command, it also includes: obtaining the current vehicle speed; and determining the engine starting method according to the current vehicle speed.

[0037] As an optional implementation, determining the engine starting method according to the current vehicle speed includes: judging whether the current vehicle speed is greater than a preset vehicle speed value; if the current vehicle speed is greater than the preset vehicle speed value, controlling the vehicle to reverse and start the engine.

[0038] As an optional implementation, determining the engine starting method based on the current vehicle speed includes: judging whether the current vehicle speed is greater than a preset vehicle speed value; if the current vehicle speed is less than or equal to the preset vehicle speed value, controlling the starter to start the engine.

[0039] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an engine starting control system for a P2 architecture hybrid vehicle is provided, including: a shifting trend acquisition module, used to determine whether the vehicle has a shifting trend according to the vehicle operating condition when the whole vehicle has a starting demand; a preset condition judgment module, used to determine whether the vehicle meets the preset conditions for reverse motor starting according to the vehicle operating condition; an engine starting control module, used to suppress the issuance of a starting command when the vehicle has a shifting trend and the vehicle meets the preset conditions for reverse motor starting, until the vehicle shifts gears and the transmission is disengaged, and then control the issuance of the starting command to start the engine by reverse motor starting.

[0040] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device is provided, comprising a processor, a communication interface, a memory and a communication bus, wherein the processor, the communication interface and the memory communicate with each other via the communication bus, and the memory is used to store a computer program; and the processor is used to execute the steps of the engine start control method for a P2 architecture hybrid vehicle by running the computer program stored in the memory.
