Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly, to a vehicle control method, a vehicle and a storage medium in the field of vehicles. Background Art

[0002] When a hybrid vehicle is driving and the high-voltage battery fails, the vehicle will enter limp mode to maintain basic driving functions. In limp mode, the high-voltage battery no longer outputs high-voltage electricity, and the vehicle relies on the engine or other backup power sources to continue driving. However, if the high-voltage battery failure is eliminated by itself during subsequent driving, it is usually not allowed to directly enable the high-voltage battery. Instead, the driver is required to stop and restart the vehicle to re-enable the high-voltage battery, which increases the burden and inconvenience of driving. Based on this, how to safely and conveniently enable the high-voltage battery in limp mode to switch to normal mode has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides a vehicle control method, a vehicle and a storage medium. The method can safely and conveniently enable a high-voltage battery to switch to a normal mode after an abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated in a limp mode.

[0004] In a first aspect, a vehicle control method is provided, the method comprising: during vehicle driving, if an abnormality is detected in a high-voltage battery, controlling the vehicle to enter a limp home mode; wherein, in the limp home mode, a main relay of the high-voltage battery is disconnected, the engine drives the vehicle to travel and the engine drives the motor to rotate and generate electricity; in the limp home mode, detecting whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated; if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, detecting whether the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than a preset voltage difference; in the case where the absolute value of the voltage difference is less than the preset voltage difference, controlling the main relay to close, and after the main relay is closed, controlling the motor to stop generating electricity, so that the vehicle switches from the limp home mode to the normal mode.

[0005] In the above technical solution, if an abnormality of the high-voltage battery is detected during the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle is controlled to enter the limp mode to ensure that the vehicle can continue to drive safely when the high-voltage battery fails, avoiding the vehicle from completely losing power due to power supply interruption. The engine drives the motor to rotate and generate electricity, ensuring the continuous operation of the basic functions of the vehicle. In the limp mode, it is detected whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, ensuring that the high-voltage battery will be reactivated only when the abnormality is indeed eliminated, thereby enhancing reliability. If the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the main relay will not be closed directly, but the main relay will be closed only when the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, avoiding the main relay burning problem that may occur when the main relay is directly closed due to excessive voltage difference, and the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay reflects the difference between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side. The absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, indicating that the difference between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side is small, ensuring that there will be no problem of high voltage attacking low voltage in the whole process, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the vehicle. After the main relay is closed, the motor is controlled to stop generating electricity, avoiding the problem of sudden high voltage drop of the whole vehicle, and realizing a smooth transition from limp mode to normal mode. At the same time, during the whole process, the driver does not need to stop the car, reducing unnecessary parking and restarting operations, and improving driving convenience and comfort.

[0006] In combination with the first aspect, in certain possible implementations, before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the method also includes: controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device of the vehicle to enter a step-down state; in the step-down state, controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to step down the generated voltage of the motor to power the low-voltage system of the vehicle.

[0007] In the above technical solution, before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the high-voltage battery cannot generate high-voltage electricity, and the high-voltage to low-voltage device is controlled to enter the voltage reduction state to meet the power supply demand of the vehicle's low-voltage system. In addition, the high-voltage to low-voltage device in the voltage reduction state can act as a load for the motor to restrict the rapid rise of the generated voltage, ensuring that the motor generated voltage is maintained within a safe and controllable range, and avoiding excessively high motor generated voltage.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect and the above-mentioned implementation methods, in certain possible implementation methods, in the limp mode, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor is a first target voltage, and the first target voltage is greater than or equal to the rated voltage of the high-voltage battery; the high-voltage to low-voltage device of the vehicle is controlled to enter a voltage reduction state, including: detecting the power generation voltage of the motor during the power generation process; if the power generation voltage is greater than a preset voltage threshold and less than a second target voltage, controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to start entering a voltage reduction state; wherein the second target voltage is less than or equal to the first target voltage.

[0009] The above technical solution, in limp mode, by setting a higher first target voltage, provides a longer voltage range for the high-voltage to low-voltage device to restrict the rapid rise of the motor's power generation voltage. When the power generation voltage is greater than the preset voltage threshold and less than the second target voltage, the high-voltage to low-voltage device is controlled to enter the step-down state, which is equivalent to avoiding the stage where the motor power generation voltage changes rapidly (the stage when power generation just begins and the stage when the maximum power generation voltage is about to be reached). If the power generation voltage changes too quickly, it may cause the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state, and it is difficult to restrict the rapidly rising motor power generation voltage. When the power generation voltage is between the preset voltage threshold and the second target voltage, the power generation voltage changes relatively slowly, so it is easier to control the power generation voltage by controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state during this period. Combined with the dynamic monitoring of the power generation voltage, timely control of the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state to power the low-voltage system not only avoids the risks that may be caused by the excessively high power generation voltage of the motor, but also ensures the stable power supply of the low-voltage system, effectively realizes the safe management of the motor power generation voltage, and also improves the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect and the above-mentioned implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is detected to be less than a preset voltage difference, including: if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the power generation voltage of the motor is adjusted to a third target voltage; wherein the third target voltage is the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs; after adjusting the power generation voltage to the third target voltage, detecting whether the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than a preset voltage difference.

[0011] The above technical solution, after detecting that the abnormality of the high-voltage battery has been eliminated, actively adjusts the power generation voltage of the motor to the voltage before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery occurred, that is, the third target voltage. This makes the voltage on the motor side basically equal to the voltage on the high-voltage battery side, and then makes the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay meet the condition of being less than the preset voltage difference, which is conducive to creating a safe environment for closing the clutch more quickly and speeding up the speed of switching the vehicle from limp mode to normal mode.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect and the above-mentioned implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, after controlling the vehicle to enter the limp home mode, the method further includes: setting the state of the compressor of the vehicle's air-conditioning system to a power-adjustable state, and controlling the power demand of the compressor to 0; or; setting the state of the compressor of the vehicle's air-conditioning system to a prohibited state; wherein, in the prohibited state, the compressor is prohibited from operating.

[0013] In the above technical solution, after the vehicle enters the limp home mode, the state of the compressor is set to the power adjustable state, and the power demand of the compressor is controlled to 0; or; the state of the compressor is set to the disabled state, which can save the electric energy generated by the motor for more critical driving functions, and avoid the compressor as a load on the motor, affecting the stable output of the motor's power generation voltage. Setting the compressor to the power adjustable state and ensuring that it has no power demand is actually an energy-saving measure achieved through flexible control logic. Even when power is limited, the compressor is still able to start at any time to cope with sudden temperature control needs.

[0014] In combination with the first aspect and the above-mentioned implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, after the vehicle switches from the limp mode to the normal mode, the method further includes: setting the state of the compressor to a power adjustable state and allowing the power demand of the compressor to be greater than 0; or; setting the state of the compressor to a normal state; wherein, in the normal state, the compressor is allowed to operate normally.

[0015] In the above technical solution, after the vehicle returns to normal mode, the high-voltage battery can work normally. Therefore, the state of the compressor is set to an adjustable power state, and the power demand of the compressor is allowed to be greater than 0, or the state of the compressor is set to a normal state, which is conducive to timely restoring the operation of the compressor to realize functions related to the compressor such as turning on the air conditioner and turning on the heater.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some possible implementations, after controlling the main relay to close and, after the main relay is closed, controlling the motor to stop generating electricity so that the vehicle switches from the limp home mode to the normal mode, the method further includes: if the current gear of the vehicle is a driving gear and the remaining power of the high-voltage battery is greater than a preset power threshold, activating a target flag; wherein the target flag indicates that the vehicle has switched to the normal mode;

[0017] When the target flag is activated, the high-voltage battery is allowed to supply power to high-voltage electrical equipment, and the motor is allowed to participate in driving the vehicle.

[0018] The above technical solution, by activating the target flag, can clearly inform each subsystem / controller that the high-voltage battery has restored normal power supply capacity and the motor has normal driving function. This not only avoids misjudgment or delayed response caused by information asynchrony, but also improves the overall efficiency and safety of the system, ensuring the consistency and reliability of the driving experience.

[0019] In combination with the first aspect and the above-mentioned implementation methods, in some possible implementation methods, when the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the method also includes: if the vehicle is not detected to switch from the limp mode to the normal mode within a preset time period, switching the vehicle back to the limp mode.

[0020] The above technical solution ensures that even if the high-voltage battery returns to normal but cannot switch to normal mode smoothly due to other reasons, the vehicle remains in a relatively safe state to avoid potential risks.

[0021] In a second aspect, a vehicle control device is provided, which includes: a first control module, used to control the vehicle to enter a limp home mode if an abnormality is detected in a high-voltage battery during vehicle driving; wherein, in the limp home mode, the main relay of the high-voltage battery is disconnected, the engine drives the vehicle to travel and the engine drives the motor to rotate and generate electricity; a first detection module, used to detect whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated in the limp home mode; a second detection module, used to detect whether the absolute value of the voltage difference between the two sides of the main relay is less than a preset voltage difference if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated; a second control module, used to control the main relay to close when the absolute value of the voltage difference is less than the preset voltage difference, and after the main relay is closed, control the motor to stop generating electricity, so that the vehicle switches from the limp home mode to the normal mode.

[0022] In a third aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising: a memory for storing executable program code; and a processor for calling and running the executable program code from the memory, so that the vehicle executes the method in the above-mentioned first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0023] In a fourth aspect, a computer program product is provided, comprising: a computer program code, which, when executed on a computer, enables the computer to execute the method in the first aspect or any possible implementation of the first aspect.

[0024] In a fifth aspect, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, which stores a computer program code. When the computer program code runs on a computer, the computer executes the method in the above-mentioned first aspect or any possible implementation manner of the first aspect.

[0032] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of 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. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0033] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0034] When a hybrid vehicle is driving and the high-voltage battery fails, the vehicle will enter limp mode to maintain basic driving functions. In limp mode, the high-voltage battery no longer outputs high-voltage electricity, and the vehicle relies on the engine or other backup power sources to continue driving. However, if the high-voltage battery failure is eliminated by itself during subsequent driving, the vehicle cannot be switched to high-voltage battery drive because it is in driving, that is, the vehicle cannot be driven electrically. In other words, if the high-voltage battery failure is restored during driving in limp mode, the high-voltage battery power cannot be used to drive the motor, turn on the air conditioner, turn on the heater, etc. during driving.

[0035] The inventor of the present application has found through research that when the vehicle is driving, the high-voltage battery recovers from a faulty state to a normal state. If the high-voltage battery is directly activated, the following problems may occur:

[0036] High-voltage attack problem: When the high-voltage battery is in a faulty state, the engine drives the motor to generate high-voltage electricity. If the high-voltage battery returns to normal, the high-voltage battery is directly enabled to generate high-voltage electricity. When the high-voltage electricity generated by the motor and the high-voltage electricity generated by the high-voltage battery meet each other, the high-voltage side will attack the low-voltage side, affecting the safety of the vehicle.

[0037] High voltage stability of the whole vehicle: In order to avoid the problem of high voltage attacking low voltage, the motor can be controlled to stop generating electricity immediately after the high voltage battery returns to normal. However, doing so will cause the whole vehicle to suddenly drop high voltage, disrupting the normal high voltage function of the vehicle.

[0038] Main relay safety risk: After the high-voltage battery returns to normal, the main relay needs to be closed to enable the high-voltage battery. When the high-voltage battery returns to normal, there is a certain gap between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side, resulting in a large voltage difference between the two sides of the main relay. At this time, directly closing the main relay may burn the main relay, further affecting the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0039] Based on the above problems, in the prior art, in limp home mode, if the high-voltage battery recovers from a faulty state to a normal state, it is usually not allowed to directly enable the high-voltage battery. Instead, the driver is required to stop the vehicle and restart the vehicle before re-enabling the high-voltage battery. Although this approach ensures safety, it also brings the following inconveniences:

[0040] Complex operation: The driver needs to stop and restart the vehicle, which increases the driving burden and inconvenience.

[0041] Poor driving experience: Frequent parking and restarting operations reduce the driving experience, especially in emergency situations or on busy traffic roads, which may affect driving efficiency and safety.

[0042] Therefore, how to safely and conveniently enable the high-voltage battery in limp mode has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method, which is applied to hybrid vehicles, and can be specifically applied to the controller or control system of the vehicle. The method aims to achieve safe and convenient activation of the high-voltage battery after it recovers from an abnormality to a normal state. The method detects whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated in limp mode, and monitors the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay after the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated. When the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, the main relay is closed and the normal mode is entered to ensure a smooth voltage transition and avoid problems such as high voltage attacks and main relay burning, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle without affecting the driving experience.

[0043] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0044] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0045] Step 101: During vehicle driving, if an abnormality is detected in the high-voltage battery, the vehicle is controlled to enter a limp home mode; wherein, in the limp home mode, a main relay of the high-voltage battery is disconnected, the engine drives the vehicle to travel, and the engine drives the motor to rotate and generate electricity;

[0046] Step 102: In the limp home mode, detecting whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated;

[0047] Step 103: If the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, detecting whether the absolute value of the voltage difference between the two sides of the main relay is less than a preset voltage difference;

[0048] Step 104: When the absolute value of the voltage difference is less than the preset voltage difference, the main relay is controlled to close, and after the main relay is closed, the motor is controlled to stop generating electricity, so that the vehicle is switched from the limp mode to the normal mode.

[0049] exist Figure 1In the embodiment shown, during the driving process of the vehicle, if an abnormality of the high-voltage battery is detected, the vehicle is controlled to enter the limp mode to ensure that the vehicle can continue to drive safely when the high-voltage battery fails, avoiding the vehicle from completely losing power due to power supply interruption. The engine drives the motor to rotate and generate electricity, ensuring the continuous operation of the basic functions of the vehicle. In the limp mode, it is detected whether the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, ensuring that the high-voltage battery will be reactivated only when the abnormality is indeed eliminated, thereby enhancing reliability. If the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the main relay will not be closed directly, but the main relay will be closed only when the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, thereby avoiding the main relay burning problem that may occur when the main relay is directly closed due to excessive voltage difference, and the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay reflects the difference between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side. The absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, indicating that the difference between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side is small, ensuring that the problem of the high-voltage side attacking the low-voltage side will not occur during the whole process, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the vehicle. After the main relay is closed, the motor is controlled to stop generating electricity, avoiding the problem of sudden high voltage drop of the whole vehicle, and realizing a smooth transition from limp mode to normal mode. At the same time, during the whole process, the driver does not need to stop the car, reducing unnecessary parking and restarting operations, and improving driving convenience and comfort.

[0050] Below Figure 1 The specific implementation method of each step in the embodiment shown is described as follows:

[0051] In step 101, the various parameters (such as voltage, current, temperature, etc.) of the high-voltage battery are monitored in real time through the battery management system (BMS) inside the vehicle. Once an abnormality (such as too low voltage, too large internal resistance, abnormal temperature increase, etc.) is detected, the vehicle is controlled to enter the limp mode. The way to control the vehicle to enter the limp mode may include: controlling the main relay to disconnect to cut off the connection between the high-voltage battery and the vehicle electrical system to ensure safety, controlling the engine to drive the vehicle to maintain the basic driving ability of the vehicle, and controlling the engine to drive the motor to rotate and generate electricity to maintain the basic power needs of the vehicle (such as lighting, dashboard, etc.).

[0052] Exemplarily, the states of the motor include: power generation state, torque control state, speed control state, standby state (STANDBY), initialization state and shutdown state. The power generation state means that the motor operates as a generator, and is driven to rotate by the engine to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The torque control state means that the motor is controlled according to the set torque value to accurately adjust the output torque of the motor. The speed control state means that the motor is controlled according to the set speed value to accurately adjust the speed of the motor. The standby state means that the motor is in a zero-power waiting state, at which time the motor rotates but does not generate electricity or output torque. The initialization state refers to the self-test and initialization process before the motor starts to ensure that all parameters are set correctly and are ready for normal operation. The shutdown state means that the motor stops working completely and all power supplies are cut off.

[0053] When the vehicle enters limp home mode, the control system controls the motor to jump to the power generation state. During the limp home mode, the motor can remain in the power generation state.

[0054] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a high-voltage system of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the high voltage system of the vehicle includes: a high voltage battery 201 , a main relay and a motor 206 , and the main relay includes a main positive relay 202 and a main negative relay 203 .

[0056] During the driving of the vehicle, if an abnormality is detected in the high-voltage battery 201, the main positive relay 202 and the main negative relay 203 are controlled to be disconnected, the engine is controlled to drive the vehicle to drive, and the engine is controlled to drive the motor 206 to rotate and generate electricity, so that the vehicle enters the limp home mode. That is, controlling the main relay to be disconnected in the above step 101 includes: controlling the main positive relay 202 and the main negative relay 203 to be disconnected.

[0057] In one possible implementation, after controlling the vehicle to enter the limp home mode, it also includes: setting the state of the compressor of the vehicle's air-conditioning system to a power-adjustable state, and controlling the power demand of the compressor to 0; or; setting the state of the compressor of the vehicle's air-conditioning system to a disabled state; wherein, in the disabled state, the compressor is prohibited from operating.

[0058] The compressor of the air conditioning system is a key component, and its working state directly affects the comfort and energy efficiency of the vehicle interior. According to different operating conditions and requirements, the compressor states include: prohibited state, power adjustable state and normal state. In the prohibited state, the compressor is prohibited from performing any form of work. The power adjustable state is a state that allows the compressor to work but limits its output power. In the normal state, the compressor works normally according to the requested power level to provide the required cooling or heating capacity.

[0059] After the vehicle enters limp home mode, the high-voltage battery cannot output high-voltage electricity. Although the motor can generate electricity, the vehicle's power resources become limited, and priority must be given to ensuring the power supply of key systems (such as steering, braking, etc.). The compressor of the air-conditioning system consumes a lot of power, especially in high or low temperature environments. Therefore, setting the compressor status to a power-adjustable state or a disabled state can save precious electricity for more critical driving functions.

[0060] During a high-voltage battery failure, the voltage and current generated by the motor may be unstable. As a high-power device, the compressor is sensitive to voltage fluctuations. In order to avoid damage to the compressor or other equipment due to voltage instability, limiting its power or prohibiting its operation is an effective protective measure. In addition, if the compressor is allowed to work, the compressor may become an interfering load for the motor in the power generation state, affecting the stable output of the motor power generation voltage. Therefore, in this embodiment, during a high-voltage battery failure, the vehicle is in limp mode, and the compressor is controlled to be in a prohibited state, or even if the compressor is controlled to be in a power adjustable state, the power demand of the compressor is also controlled to be 0 at the same time, that is, the compressor is controlled to have no power demand. Controlling the power demand of the compressor to be 0 can be understood as: controlling the power request value of the compressor to be 0, that is, limiting the power request value of the compressor to 0.

[0061] In the above implementation, after the vehicle enters the limp home mode, the state of the compressor is set to the power adjustable state, and the power demand of the compressor is controlled to 0; or; the state of the compressor is set to the disabled state, which can save the electric energy generated by the motor for more critical driving functions, and avoid the compressor as a load on the motor, affecting the stable output of the motor's power generation voltage. Setting the compressor to the power adjustable state and ensuring that it has no power demand is actually an energy-saving measure achieved through flexible control logic. Even when power is limited, the compressor is still able to start at any time to cope with sudden temperature control needs.

[0062] In one possible implementation, in limp home mode, before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, it also includes: controlling the vehicle's high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter a step-down state; in the step-down state, controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to step down the generated voltage of the motor to power the vehicle's low-voltage system.

[0063] Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of another high-voltage system of a vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0064] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the high voltage system includes: a high voltage battery 201, a main positive relay 202, a main negative relay 203, a pre-charge relay 204, a pre-charge resistor 205, a motor 206, a high voltage to low voltage device 207 and a low voltage system 208. The high voltage to low voltage device 207 can be a DC-DC converter (DC-DC Converter, DC-DC), and the low voltage system 208 can be a 12V system.

[0065] When the high-voltage-to-low-voltage device 207 is in a voltage-reducing state, the control system controls the high-voltage-to-low-voltage device 207 to "propose a demand" with a constant value of "the minimum 12V power required for the whole vehicle", or the control system requires the motor 206 to supply constant power to the high-voltage-to-low-voltage device 207, so that the high-voltage-to-low-voltage device 207 can supply power to the low-voltage system 208. This constant power supply mechanism enables the high-voltage-to-low-voltage device 207 to continuously provide stable low-voltage power, while preventing the power generation voltage of the motor 206 from rising too quickly.

[0066] The states of the high-voltage to low-voltage device include: step-down state, standby state, initialization state and shutdown state. The step-down state means that the high-voltage to low-voltage device steps down the power generation voltage of the motor to meet the power supply requirements of the vehicle's low-voltage system (such as 12V battery and various low-voltage electrical appliances). The standby state means that the high-voltage to low-voltage device is in a zero-power waiting state, ready to receive a start command at any time, and maintains a communication connection with the control system. The initialization state means the self-check and initialization process before the high-voltage to low-voltage device starts, ensuring that all parameters are set correctly and ready to work normally. The shutdown state means that the high-voltage to low-voltage device completely stops working, cuts off all power supply, and does not perform any operation. In limp mode, before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the control system controls the vehicle's high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state from the standby state.

[0067] In addition, the inventor of the present application discovered through research that in order to make the high-voltage to low-voltage device enter the step-down state, it is easier to suppress the increase in the motor's power generation voltage, so it is chosen to let the motor generate electricity for a while, and then control the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state.

[0068] In one possible implementation, in limp home mode, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor is a first target voltage, and the first target voltage is greater than or equal to the rated voltage of the high-voltage battery; the above-mentioned high-voltage to low-voltage device that controls the vehicle to enter a voltage reduction state includes: detecting the power generation voltage of the motor during power generation; if the power generation voltage is greater than a preset voltage threshold and less than a second target voltage, controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to start entering a voltage reduction state; wherein the second target voltage is less than or equal to the first target voltage.

[0069] In this implementation, in the limp home mode, when the engine is controlled to drive the motor 206 to rotate and generate electricity, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor 206 is set to the first target voltage. Assuming that the rated voltage of the high-voltage battery 201 is 400V, the first target voltage may be greater than or equal to 400V.

[0070] It is understandable that after the motor 206 starts to generate electricity, it will take some time for its actual power generation voltage to rise to the first target voltage. During this process, the power generation voltage of the motor 206 during the power generation process is detected. If the power generation voltage is greater than the preset voltage threshold and less than the second target voltage, the high-voltage to low-voltage device 207 is controlled to enter the step-down state to step down the power generation voltage of the motor 206 to power the vehicle's low-voltage system 208. At the same time, the high-voltage to low-voltage device 207 entering the step-down state can serve as a load for the motor 206 to restrict the rapid rise of the power generation voltage of the motor 206.

[0071] Considering that the maximum power generation voltage of the motor is designed based on the rated voltage of the high-voltage battery, if the power generation voltage of the motor is too high, it may damage the electrical equipment; and if the power generation voltage is too low, it is difficult to effectively control the state of the motor in the initial power generation. Based on this, the vehicle control system requires the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state at the right time, with the purpose of restricting the rapid rise of the power generation voltage by using it as a load before the motor generates voltage and reaches the second target voltage, ensuring that the motor power generation voltage is maintained within a safe and controllable range to avoid excessive motor power generation voltage. In addition, the high-voltage to low-voltage device will not enter the step-down state at the initial power generation of the motor to avoid the uncontrollable state of the motor in the initial power generation. At the same time, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor is set to be greater than or equal to the rated voltage of the high-voltage battery, which provides a longer voltage range for the high-voltage to low-voltage device to restrict the rapid rise of the motor voltage, making it easier for the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the step-down state at the right time to control the power generation voltage of the motor.

[0072] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the power generation voltage and time after a motor starts generating power, provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4In the example, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor is 400V, U1 is the preset voltage threshold, U2 is the second target voltage, U1 is greater than 0, and U2 is less than 400V. For example, U1 = 130V, U2 = 360V, when the power generation voltage is between U1 and U2, the high-voltage to low-voltage device is controlled to enter the step-down state, which has a better control effect on the power generation voltage of the motor. Figure 4 It can be seen that when the power generation voltage is between U1 and U2, the high-voltage to low-voltage device is allowed to intervene and enter the voltage reduction state, which is equivalent to avoiding the stage where the motor power generation voltage changes rapidly (the stage when power generation just starts, and the stage when the maximum power generation voltage is about to be reached). If the power generation voltage changes too quickly, it may cause the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the voltage reduction state, and it is difficult to control the rapidly rising motor power generation voltage. When the power generation voltage is between U1 and U2, the power generation voltage changes relatively slowly, so it is easier to control the power generation voltage by controlling the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the voltage reduction state when the power generation voltage is between U1 and U2.

[0073] In the above technical solution, in limp mode, by setting a higher first target voltage, a longer voltage range is provided for the high-voltage to low-voltage device to restrict the rapid rise of the motor's power generation voltage, so that it can enter the voltage reduction state at the right time, thereby realizing effective control of the motor's power generation voltage. Combined with dynamic monitoring of the power generation voltage, timely control of the high-voltage to low-voltage device to enter the voltage reduction state to power the low-voltage system not only avoids the risks that may be caused by excessive motor power generation voltage, but also ensures the stable power supply of the low-voltage system, effectively realizes the safe management of the motor's power generation voltage, and also improves the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

[0074] In step 102, it is considered that the abnormality of the high-voltage battery may be eliminated by itself during the driving process of the vehicle. For example, at noon in the hot summer, after the high-voltage battery overheats and reports an abnormality, the main relay is disconnected and the high-voltage battery stops working. At this time, the engine is controlled to drive the vehicle to continue driving. When the high-voltage battery cools down half an hour later, the abnormality of the high-voltage battery overheating is eliminated. Based on this, in limp mode, the BMS can continue to monitor the high-voltage battery in real time to check whether its various parameters have returned to normal. For example, a series of diagnostic standards are set (such as voltage returns to the normal range, temperature is stable, etc.), and when various parameters return to normal, it is determined that the abnormality of the high-voltage battery has been eliminated.

[0075] In step 103, if it is detected that the abnormality of the high-voltage battery has been eliminated, the voltage difference across the main relay is monitored. The voltage difference across the main positive relay is substantially the same as the voltage difference across the main negative relay. Figure 2 The voltage difference across the main positive relay 202 is shown as an example for explanation.

[0076] See also Figure 2 , the voltage difference between the two sides of the main positive relay 202 is: the voltage difference between the high-voltage battery side voltage and the motor side voltage. The high-voltage battery side voltage is Figure 2 The voltage between the positive electrode of the high-voltage battery 201 and the first end of the main positive relay 202 is the voltage between point a and point b in the figure. The motor side voltage is Figure 2 The voltage between one side of the motor 206 and the second end of the main positive relay 202, such as the voltage between point c and point d in the figure.

[0077] In a specific implementation, a voltage sensor can be used to measure the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side respectively, and the voltage difference between the voltage on the high-voltage battery side and the voltage on the motor side can be calculated by the control system, and its absolute value is taken as the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay in step 103. Then, it is determined whether the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference. The preset voltage difference can be a pre-calibrated safety voltage difference threshold, which is intended to measure whether the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is close enough, so close that even if the voltage difference exists, it will not affect the safe closing of the main relay. For example, if the voltage on the motor side is equal to 100% ±5% of the voltage on the high-voltage battery side, it can be determined whether the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference. The ±5% can be pre-calibrated, or it can be calibrated to ±2% or ±10%, etc. This embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the implementation of step 103 includes: if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, adjusting the power generation voltage of the motor to a third target voltage; wherein the third target voltage is the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs; after adjusting the power generation voltage to the third target voltage, detecting whether the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than a preset voltage difference.

[0079] If the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, in order to more quickly detect that the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference, so as to create a safe environment for closing the clutch, in this implementation method, after the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the power generation voltage of the motor is actively adjusted to the voltage before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery occurs, that is, the third target voltage, so that the voltage on the motor side can be basically equal to the voltage on the high-voltage battery side, and then the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay satisfies the condition of being less than the preset voltage difference.

[0080] See also Figure 2 or Figure 3 The voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs can be: the high-voltage battery side voltage collected at the last moment before the abnormality occurs, or it can be: the average value of the high-voltage battery side voltage collected at multiple moments before the abnormality occurs. This implementation does not make specific limitations on this.

[0081] For example, to further ensure safety, it can be determined whether the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs is within the working voltage range that the high-voltage battery should have. If it is not within the working voltage range that the high-voltage battery should have, it means that the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs is an abnormal voltage, and an error reporting process can be performed. If it is within the working voltage range that the high-voltage battery should have, it means that the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs is a normal voltage. At this time, the power generation voltage is adjusted to the third target voltage to ensure that the high-voltage battery can work normally after the main relay is closed.

[0082] As described in the above embodiment, in limp mode, the maximum power generation voltage of the motor can be the above first target voltage. On this basis, the implementation of the above step 103 can include: if the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the power generation voltage of the motor is adjusted from the first target voltage to the third target voltage; after the power generation voltage is adjusted from the first target voltage to the third target voltage, it is detected whether the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay is less than the preset voltage difference. For example, the voltage of the high-voltage battery before the abnormality occurs is 360V, then when the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the power generation voltage of the motor is adjusted down from the rated voltage (such as 400V) to 360V, and then the voltage on both sides of the main relay is basically the same, and the main relay can be safely closed.

[0083] In the above implementation, after detecting that the abnormality of the high-voltage battery has been eliminated, the power generation voltage of the motor is actively adjusted to the voltage before the abnormality of the high-voltage battery occurred, that is, the third target voltage. This makes the voltage on the motor side basically equal to the voltage on the high-voltage battery side, and then makes the absolute value of the voltage difference on both sides of the main relay meet the condition of being less than the preset voltage difference, which is conducive to creating a safe environment for closing the clutch more quickly and speeding up the speed of switching the vehicle from limp mode to normal mode.

[0084] In step 104, when it is detected that the absolute value of the voltage difference is less than the preset voltage difference, the control system issues a main relay closing instruction to close the main relay and re-establish the connection between the high-voltage battery and the electrical system. It can be understood that the relays of the high-voltage battery include: a main positive relay, a main negative relay and a pre-charge relay. In order to re-establish the connection between the high-voltage battery and the electrical system, the main positive relay and the main negative relay need to be closed.

[0085] See also Figure 3In order to further improve the safety of closing the main relay, the pre-charge relay 204 can be controlled to close first. The pre-charge relay 204 is connected in series with a pre-charge resistor 205. When the pre-charge relay 204 is closed, the current passes through the pre-charge resistor 205 to pre-charge the capacitor in the motor 206 or the capacitor in the motor controller. When the pre-charge is completed, the control system issues an instruction to close the main positive relay 202 and the main negative relay 203. At this time, since the pre-charge has been completed, closing the main positive relay 202 will not cause a large current shock. After closing the main positive relay 202 and the main negative relay 203, the high-voltage battery can work normally, and then the pre-charge relay 204 is controlled to be disconnected.

[0086] In a specific implementation, the main negative relay 203 and the pre-charging relay 204 may be closed first, and after the pre-charging is completed, the main positive relay 202 may be closed to establish the connection between the high-voltage battery and the electrical system. After the main positive relay 202 is closed, the pre-charging relay 204 is controlled to be disconnected.

[0087] After the main positive relay 202 and the main negative relay 203 are closed, the control system controls the motor 206 to stop generating electricity, and the high-voltage battery 201 provides the required power. After completing the above operations, the vehicle automatically switches from the limp mode to the normal mode and restores all electrical functions (such as air conditioning, heating, etc.). In the normal mode, the vehicle is provided with high voltage electricity by the high-voltage battery.

[0088] In a possible implementation, when switching the vehicle from the limp mode to the normal mode, the vehicle speed may also be considered, and when the vehicle speed is lower than a preset speed threshold, the vehicle is switched from the limp mode to the normal mode, so as to improve the safety of the mode switching to a certain extent. The preset speed threshold may be pre-calibrated, for example, may be set to 130 km / h or 60 km / h, but this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0089] In the above implementation, after the vehicle enters the limp mode, the compressor is controlled to be in a power-adjustable state or a prohibited state with no power demand. After the vehicle returns to the normal mode, the high-voltage battery can work normally, so the working state of the compressor can be restored. Based on this, in a possible implementation, after the vehicle switches from the limp mode to the normal mode, the state of the compressor is set to a power-adjustable state, and the power demand of the compressor is allowed to be greater than 0; or; the state of the compressor is set to a normal state; wherein, in the normal state, the compressor is allowed to work normally.

[0090] Among them, allowing the power demand of the compressor to be greater than 0 can be understood as: the control system allows the power request value of the compressor to be greater than 0, and will apply a rotational torque to it according to the power request value of the compressor. In other words, the control system dynamically adjusts the power output of the compressor by adjusting the rotational torque of the compressor motor according to the actual power demand to meet the required cooling or heating needs. Since the state of the compressor is a power adjustable state at this time, although the compressor has a power demand, the compressor will still be controlled to operate at limited power, that is, the control system will still limit the maximum operating power of the compressor to prevent the actual operating power of the compressor from exceeding the maximum operating power.

[0091] If the state of the compressor is set to the normal state, the control system can control the compressor according to the power request of the compressor without limiting its power.

[0092] In the above implementation, after the vehicle returns to normal mode, the high-voltage battery can work normally, so the state of the compressor is set to an adjustable power state, and the power demand of the compressor is allowed to be greater than 0, or the state of the compressor is set to a normal state, which is conducive to timely restoration of the operation of the compressor to realize functions related to the compressor such as turning on the air conditioner and turning on the heater.

[0093] In some implementations, after step 104, it also includes: if the current gear of the vehicle is a driving gear and the remaining power of the high-voltage battery is greater than a preset power threshold, activating a target flag; wherein the target flag indicates that the vehicle has switched to normal mode; when the target flag is activated, the high-voltage battery is allowed to supply power to high-voltage electrical equipment, and the motor is allowed to participate in driving the vehicle.

[0094] Among them, the current gear of the vehicle is the driving gear, which means that the vehicle is currently in the driving process. The remaining power of the high-voltage battery is greater than the preset power threshold, which means that the current remaining power of the high-voltage battery is sufficient to meet the power supply demand of the high-voltage system. At this time, the target flag is activated. Each subsystem in the vehicle can monitor the message of the activation of the target flag to make it clear that the high-voltage battery is currently allowed to power high-voltage electrical equipment and the motor is allowed to participate in the driving of the vehicle. When the target flag is activated, the control system allows the high-voltage battery to power high-voltage electrical equipment (such as air-conditioning compressors, heaters, high-voltage to low-voltage devices, etc.) and allows the motor to participate in the driving of the vehicle. This means that the vehicle can make full use of the energy of the high-voltage battery and restore normal working performance. The driver can immediately feel the full function of the vehicle restored to normal mode without worrying about any potential functional limitations or delays. The above preset power threshold can be pre-calibrated to measure whether the remaining power of the high-voltage battery pack is sufficient.

[0095] It is understandable that although the vehicle has been restored from limp mode to normal mode, the various controllers (such as motor controller, vehicle controller, etc.) / subsystems (such as power management system, air conditioning system, etc.) in the vehicle may not have received notification of this change. If no action is taken, these controllers may mistakenly believe that the high-voltage battery has not yet returned to normal or that the motor cannot drive the vehicle normally, resulting in unnecessary restrictions or erroneous operations. By activating the target flag, the control system can clearly send a signal to each controller / subsystem of the vehicle to inform them that the high-voltage battery has restored normal power supply capacity and the motor has normal driving function. This helps to ensure that each controller / subsystem can update its working status in a timely manner to avoid misjudgment or delayed response due to information asynchrony. In particular, it helps the motor controller know that the motor can currently drive the vehicle, so that the motor controller can normally control the motor to output the driving torque based on the received driving torque request.

[0096] The introduction of the target flag enhances the coordination between vehicle controllers. As a global status identifier, the target flag enables each subsystem to reach a consistent understanding at the same time, ensuring that all controllers can obtain the latest status information in a timely manner, avoiding operational errors or resource waste caused by information asymmetry, and significantly improving the safety and stability of the entire system. Each subsystem can make the most appropriate response based on the latest status information, improving the vehicle's ability to cope with emergencies.

[0097] Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the principle of activating the target flag bit in this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, if the current gear of the vehicle is the driving gear, the voltage of the high-voltage battery is within the normal voltage range, the remaining power of the high-voltage battery is greater than the preset power threshold, the main positive relay is closed, the main negative relay is closed, and the high-voltage battery has no faults, then the target flag can be activated. The activation of the target flag also means that the high-voltage battery has been switched to power the vehicle. After the target flag is activated, the control system can achieve a step-by-step torque increase for the torque demand of the motor so that the motor can participate in the driving of the vehicle. At the same time, the high-voltage battery can simultaneously power the high-voltage to low-voltage device, compressor and other high-voltage electrical equipment.

[0098] The above technical solution, by activating the target flag, can clearly inform each subsystem that the high-voltage battery has restored normal power supply capacity and the motor has normal driving function. This not only avoids misjudgment or delayed response caused by information asynchrony, but also improves the overall efficiency and safety of the system, ensuring the consistency and reliability of the driving experience.

[0099] In some implementations, when the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, if the vehicle is not detected to switch from the limp home mode to the normal mode within a preset time period, the vehicle is switched back to the limp home mode.

[0100] After the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated, the vehicle should theoretically switch from limp mode to normal mode. However, due to the possibility of other unforeseen problems (such as leakage, poor grounding, loose connection, etc.), the vehicle failed to complete this switch within the expected time. Based on this, a reasonable preset duration is defined in this embodiment, which is based on the maximum time required for the vehicle to switch from limp mode to normal mode under normal circumstances after the abnormality of the high-voltage battery is eliminated. For example, if the switching process should not exceed 30 seconds under normal circumstances, the preset duration can be set to 45 seconds to leave a certain buffer time. If the control system fails to detect that the vehicle has successfully switched from limp mode to normal mode within the above preset duration, the system will automatically switch the vehicle back to limp mode. Through this mechanism, it is ensured that even if the high-voltage battery returns to normal, but cannot be smoothly switched to normal mode due to other reasons, the vehicle is still in a relatively safe state to avoid potential risks.

[0101] In summary, in this embodiment, when the hybrid vehicle is in limp mode, after the high-voltage battery recovers from abnormality, it automatically switches to the normal high-voltage battery supply state during driving, which ensures the safety of the vehicle without affecting the driving experience. This not only improves the reliability and user-friendliness of the vehicle, but also enhances the adaptability of the vehicle under different working conditions.
