[0042] In some embodiments, the driving state includes: an acceleration driving state, a turning driving state, an economy mode driving state, and an energy recovery driving state.

[0043] In the embodiment, after the driving state judgment module 3 receives the dynamic information of the vehicle, it judges the driving state of the vehicle according to the dynamic information of the vehicle, wherein the driving state includes acceleration driving state, turning driving state, economic mode driving state and energy recovery driving state. By determining the driving state of the vehicle, the vehicle can perform corresponding longitudinal torque distribution under different driving states, so that the vehicle can achieve the best driving effect under the current driving state.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal torque distribution module 4 includes: a first torque distribution unit 41 , a second torque distribution unit 42 , a third torque distribution unit 43 and a fourth torque distribution unit 44 .

[0045] The first torque distribution unit 41 is used to distribute the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to dynamic information when the vehicle is in an accelerating state; the second torque distribution unit 42 is used to distribute the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to dynamic information when the vehicle is in a turning state; the third torque distribution unit 43 is used to distribute the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to dynamic information when the vehicle is in an economic mode driving state; the fourth torque distribution unit 44 is used to distribute the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to dynamic information when the vehicle is in an energy recovery driving state.

[0046] In the embodiment, after the longitudinal torque distribution module 4 receives the dynamic information of the vehicle and the driving state of the vehicle, it distributes the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to the dynamic information under different driving states of the vehicle. When the vehicle is in an accelerating driving state, the first torque distribution unit 41 distributes the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to the dynamic information, so as to dynamically distribute the front axle torque and the rear axle torque of the vehicle, and control the front and rear axle torques of the vehicle in real time; when the vehicle is in a turning driving state, the second torque distribution unit 42 distributes the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to the dynamic information, so as to dynamically distribute the front axle torque and the rear axle torque of the vehicle, and control the front and rear axle torques of the vehicle in real time; when the vehicle is in an economic mode driving state, the third torque distribution unit 43 distributes the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to the dynamic information, so as to dynamically distribute the front axle torque and the rear axle torque of the vehicle, and control the front and rear axle torques of the vehicle in real time; when the vehicle is in an energy recovery driving state, the fourth torque distribution unit 44 distributes the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to the dynamic information, so as to dynamically distribute the front axle torque and the rear axle torque of the vehicle, and stabilize the vehicle body state by controlling the front and rear axle torques of the vehicle in real time, thereby improving the dynamic performance and limit capability of the vehicle.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the first torque distribution unit 41 is used to distribute the longitudinal torque of the vehicle according to dynamic information when the vehicle is in an accelerated driving state, specifically including: obtaining the front axle load and rear axle load of the vehicle; determining the front axle load ratio of the vehicle according to the front axle load and the rear axle load; and distributing torque to the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle according to the front axle load ratio. That is, a corresponding proportion of torque can be distributed to the front axle of the vehicle according to the front axle load ratio. The rear axle load ratio can be calculated according to the front axle load ratio, and then the corresponding proportion of torque can be distributed to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the rear axle load ratio.

[0048] Even if there is a load transfer between the front and rear axles of the vehicle, or the vehicle is affected by the passenger seating position, weight difference or loading position, resulting in changes in the front and rear axle loads, the vehicle can distribute torque according to the real-time front axle load ratio and rear axle load ratio. It can be understood that the greater the load on the front axle and / or rear axle, the greater the driving force required by the front axle and / or rear axle, and the greater the required torque. Therefore, by associating the front and rear axle torque distribution with the front and rear axle loads, the characteristics of the vehicle are better matched, and the adhesion of the road can be fully utilized to make the vehicle more dynamic and accelerating.

[0049] Specifically, when the front axle load ratio of the vehicle increases, the front axle torque can be increased, that is, a larger torque is allocated to the front axle, so that the driving force of the front axle is sufficient to avoid slipping of the wheels of the front axle; when the front axle load ratio of the vehicle decreases, the front axle torque can be reduced, that is, a smaller torque is allocated to the front axle, so that the driving force of the front axle is excessive, thereby avoiding idling of the wheels of the front axle; when the rear axle load ratio of the vehicle increases, the rear axle torque can be increased, that is, a larger torque is allocated to the rear axle, so that the driving force of the rear axle is sufficient to avoid slipping of the wheels of the rear axle; when the rear axle load ratio of the vehicle decreases, the rear axle torque can be reduced, that is, a smaller torque is allocated to the rear axle, so that the driving force of the rear axle is excessive, thereby avoiding idling of the wheels of the rear axle. In addition, the front axle torque ratio and the rear axle torque ratio can be coordinated in real time according to the changes in the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio, so that the front and rear axle torques can always be matched with the front and rear axle load ratios, so that the torque distribution is always reasonable and accurate, the vehicle can make full use of the adhesion of the ground, the vehicle has better driving dynamics, and at the same time can ensure the vehicle's driving stability.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, distributing torque to the front axle and rear axle of a vehicle according to the front axle load ratio includes: distributing torque to the front axle of the vehicle according to the front axle load ratio; determining the rear axle load ratio of the vehicle according to the front axle load ratio; distributing torque to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the rear axle load ratio. The front axle load ratio refers to the ratio of the front axle load to the sum of the front axle load and the rear axle load, and the rear axle load ratio refers to the ratio of the rear axle load to the sum of the front axle load and the rear axle load. Since the sum of the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio is 1, the rear axle load ratio is also equal to the difference between 1 and the front axle load ratio. In this way, a corresponding proportion of torque can be allocated to the front axle of the vehicle according to the proportion of the front axle load, and a corresponding proportion of torque can be allocated to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the proportion of the rear axle load. When the front axle load of the vehicle accounts for a large proportion, a larger torque can be allocated to the front axle, and when the rear axle load of the vehicle accounts for a large proportion, a larger torque can be allocated to the rear axle, thereby maintaining the front and rear axle torques and the front and rear axle load proportions, making the torque distribution more reasonable and accurate, which is conducive to improving the driving power and stability of the vehicle and reducing the probability of wheel slip or idling. Among them, the total torque of the vehicle can remain unchanged to ensure the driving power of the vehicle.

[0051] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, after determining the front axle load ratio of the vehicle, the method further includes: correcting the front axle load ratio to obtain a corrected front axle load ratio; and distributing torque to the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle according to the corrected front axle load ratio. In this way, after correcting the front axle load, the torque ratio of the front axle required by the vehicle in the current state can be obtained, thereby facilitating the distribution of torque to the front and rear axles according to the torque distribution ratio corresponding to the corrected load ratio, which is conducive to improving the robustness of the longitudinal torque distribution method of the present invention.

[0052] Further, the front axle load ratio is corrected, including: calling the pre-stored weight coefficient and empirical ratio value; correcting the front axle load ratio according to the weight coefficient and the empirical ratio value to obtain a corrected front axle load ratio, and the corrected front axle load ratio is more accurate than the uncorrected front axle load ratio, thereby facilitating the improvement of the accuracy of torque distribution. Among them, the weight coefficient and the empirical ratio value are pre-calibrated values, which can be obtained according to multiple experimental data and empirical rules summarized from experiments, and the weight coefficient and the empirical ratio value can be stored in the memory of the vehicle. The front axle load ratio, the weight coefficient and the empirical ratio value can be corrected by a weighted algorithm to obtain the torque ratio of the front axle required by the vehicle in the current state, thereby facilitating the distribution of the torque of the front and rear axles according to the torque distribution ratio corresponding to the corrected load ratio, further improving the accuracy and rationality of the distribution of the torque of the front and rear axles, and facilitating the improvement of the robustness of the longitudinal torque distribution method of the present invention.

[0053] Furthermore, the front axle load ratio is corrected according to the weight coefficient and the empirical ratio value, including: K f =C·K+(1-C)·K o ; Among them, K f To correct the front axle load ratio, C is the weight coefficient, K o is the empirical ratio value, and K is the front axle load ratio. Among them, the weight coefficient C and the empirical ratio value K o are pre-calibrated values, weight coefficient C, empirical ratio value K o and K f =C·K+(1-C)·K o The formulas can be stored in the vehicle's memory. After calculating the front axle load proportion K, the K f =C·K+(1-C)·K o Quickly calculate the corrected front axle load ratio K f In this way, the vehicle can distribute the torque of the front and rear axles according to the corrected front axle load ratio, so as to keep the front and rear axle torque matching the front and rear axle load ratio, and the torque distribution is more reasonable and accurate, the vehicle's driving dynamics is better, and the ground adhesion is fully utilized, and the driving force is stronger.

[0054] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, distributing torque to the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle according to the corrected front axle load ratio includes: distributing torque to the front axle of the vehicle according to the corrected front axle load ratio; determining the corrected rear axle load ratio of the vehicle according to the corrected front axle load ratio; distributing torque to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the corrected rear axle load ratio. In other words, the corrected front axle load ratio obtained after correction can be used as the front axle torque ratio of the vehicle, and the corrected rear axle load ratio determined by the corrected front axle load ratio can be used as the rear axle torque ratio of the vehicle, so that the controller can directly distribute torque to the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle according to the corrected front axle load ratio and the corrected rear axle load ratio.

[0055] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the front axle load and rear axle load of the vehicle includes: obtaining the dynamic load of each wheel of the vehicle; obtaining the front axle load according to the sum of the dynamic loads of the front wheels, and obtaining the rear axle load according to the sum of the dynamic loads of the rear wheels. In this way, the front axle load of the vehicle can be obtained by the sum of the dynamic loads of each wheel of the front axle, and the rear axle load of the vehicle can be obtained by the sum of the dynamic loads of each wheel of the rear axle, and then the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio can be calculated according to the front axle load and the rear axle load, and the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle are respectively distributed according to the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio, so as to reasonably distribute the front and rear axle torques, and the torque distribution matches the load ratio, when the dynamic load of the front axle and the dynamic load of the rear axle change, the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio will also change in real time, and the torque distribution will also be adapted and adjusted accordingly, so as to ensure that the torque is always reasonably distributed with high accuracy. That is, by obtaining the dynamic load of each wheel, the real-time load of each wheel of the vehicle can be obtained. The load ratio of the front and rear axles can be calculated more accurately based on the real-time load of each wheel, which further improves the matching degree of the front and rear axle torque distribution and the front and rear axle load ratio, and the front and rear axle torque coordination is more reasonable and accurate.

[0056] In addition, it should be noted that when the number of motors of a vehicle is greater than two, that is, when a motor alone drives one wheel, torque can be distributed to the wheel based on the load ratio of the wheel.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the front axle load ratio of the vehicle is determined according to the front axle load and the rear axle load, including: calculating the sum of the front axle load and the rear axle load, and obtaining the front axle load ratio according to the ratio of the front axle load to the sum of the front axle load and the rear axle load. In this way, the total load of the vehicle can be obtained according to the sum of the dynamic loads of the wheels of the front axle and the dynamic loads of the wheels of the rear axle, and the front axle load ratio can be calculated according to the ratio of the dynamic load of the wheels of the front axle to the total load, and the rear axle load ratio can be calculated according to the ratio of the dynamic load of the wheels of the rear axle to the total load, or the rear axle load ratio can be calculated according to the relationship that the sum of the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio is 1, and then the torque of the front axle and rear axle of the vehicle can be distributed respectively according to the front axle load ratio and the rear axle load ratio, so as to reasonably distribute the front and rear axle torques.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the second torque distribution unit 42 is used to obtain a first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle based on yaw deviation, a second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient based on understeer, and a third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient based on adhesion utilization; determine a target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient; and distribute torque to the front and rear axles of the vehicle according to the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient.

[0059] Specifically, the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient based on yaw deviation can be determined according to the vehicle speed, actual yaw angular velocity and target yaw angular velocity, the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient based on understeering can be determined according to the vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration, and the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient based on adhesion utilization can be determined according to the target lateral acceleration and the calibrated limit lateral acceleration of the vehicle. The target front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be determined according to the sum of the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, so as to facilitate the subsequent accurate and reasonable torque distribution of the front and rear axles according to the target front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient. When any one or more of the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient change, the target front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient will also change accordingly, so that the torque distribution of the vehicle can match the driving characteristics of the vehicle at this time, which is conducive to improving the rationality and accuracy of the torque distribution of the front and rear axles of the vehicle, and the driving dynamics and stability of the vehicle are better.

[0060] In this way, during the driving process of the vehicle, for example, when the vehicle is turning, the vehicle can adjust the torque distribution of the front and rear axles of the vehicle according to the yaw deviation, understeer and adhesion utilization, so that the torque distribution of the front and rear axles can adapt to the difference between the actual yaw angular velocity and the target yaw angular velocity, and at the same time, the understeer of the vehicle can be optimized to make the steering performance of the vehicle better, and the front and rear torque distribution ratio can be adjusted to avoid the vehicle from skidding. Therefore, the present invention can determine the torque distribution ratio of the front and rear axles based on the yaw characteristics, understeer degree and adhesion utilization of the vehicle, so that the yaw characteristics of the vehicle during driving can be optimized by adjusting the torque distribution ratio of the front and rear axles in real time, which is beneficial to improving the stability and power of the vehicle.

[0061] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle based on the yaw deviation includes: obtaining the vehicle speed, the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate of the vehicle; determining the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the vehicle speed, the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate. That is, obtaining the current vehicle speed, the current actual yaw rate and the current target yaw rate, and determining the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the real-time vehicle speed, the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate. In this way, the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle can be adjusted in real time according to the vehicle speed, the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate, and the determination of the first front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is more accurate, and the target front-to-rear axle torque is also more accurate, which is conducive to improving the rationality and accuracy of torque distribution and improving the power performance and stability of the vehicle.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined according to the vehicle speed, the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate, including: calculating the first difference between the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate, and determining the first front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the first difference and the vehicle speed. For example, the first difference between the yaw rate and the target yaw rate, the corresponding relationship between the vehicle speed and the first front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be pre-calibrated, and can be obtained through multiple experimental measurements and summaries. Specifically, each first difference between the yaw rate and the target yaw rate and the vehicle speed corresponds to a first front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and the corresponding relationship between the first difference between the yaw rate and the target yaw rate, the vehicle speed and the first front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be counted as a first calibration table and stored in the vehicle's memory. When the vehicle is driving, the first difference between the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate is calculated according to the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate. After the first difference is obtained, the first difference and the vehicle speed can be directly compared with the data in the first calibration table, and then the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the current first difference and the vehicle speed can be quickly determined, so as to quickly obtain the current first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and determine the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient in combination with the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and then distribute the torque to the front and rear axles of the vehicle by the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, so that the detection of the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is more accurate, and then the accuracy and rationality of the front and rear axle torque distribution of the vehicle can be improved. In addition, the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the yaw angular velocity, that is, the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the yaw angular velocity, so that when distributing the front and rear axle torque of the vehicle, the yaw angular velocity factor will be combined, and then the front and rear axle torque can be distributed in combination with the yaw characteristics of the vehicle, so that the vehicle can be more stable.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle based on understeering includes: obtaining the vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle; and determining the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration. That is, obtaining the current vehicle speed, current front axle slip angle, current rear axle slip angle and current lateral acceleration, and determining the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the real-time vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration. In this way, the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle can be adjusted in real time according to the vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration, and the determination of the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is more accurate, and the target front-to-rear axle torque is also more accurate, which further improves the rationality and accuracy of torque distribution and makes the vehicle's power performance and stability better.

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined according to the vehicle speed, front axle slip angle, rear axle slip angle and actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle, including: calculating the second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, and determining the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the vehicle speed, the second difference and the actual lateral acceleration. For example, the correspondence between the second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the vehicle speed and the actual lateral acceleration and the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be pre-calibrated and can be obtained through multiple experimental measurement summaries. Specifically, each second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the vehicle speed and the actual lateral acceleration corresponds to a second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and the correspondence between the second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the vehicle speed and the actual lateral acceleration and the second front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be statistically calculated as a second calibration table and stored in the vehicle's memory. When the vehicle is traveling, after the second difference is calculated according to the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the second difference is calculated according to the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle. , the second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the vehicle speed and the actual lateral acceleration can be directly compared with the data in the second calibration table, and then the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the current second difference, the vehicle speed and the actual lateral acceleration can be quickly determined, so as to quickly obtain the current second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and determine the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient in combination with the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and then distribute torque to the front and rear axles of the vehicle through the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, so that the detection of the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy and rationality of the front and rear axle torque distribution of the vehicle. Furthermore, a second front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the front axle slip angle, the rear axle slip angle and the actual lateral acceleration, that is, the target front-rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle. In this way, the difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle is taken into consideration when distributing the front and rear axle torques of the vehicle. Furthermore, the front and rear axle torques can be distributed in combination with the steering characteristics of the vehicle, thereby improving the steering performance of the vehicle.

[0065] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle based on the adhesion utilization rate includes: obtaining the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration of the vehicle; determining the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient according to the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration of the vehicle. Wherein, the limit lateral acceleration can be a pre-calibrated value, and the limit lateral acceleration can be determined according to the adhesion utilization rate of the road surface. Different road adhesion utilization rates can determine different limit lateral accelerations, and the calibration value of the limit lateral acceleration is stored in the memory of the vehicle. For example, the correspondence between the target lateral acceleration, the limit lateral acceleration and the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be pre-calibrated, and can be obtained through multiple experimental measurement summaries. Specifically, each target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration corresponds to a third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and the correspondence between the target lateral acceleration, the limit lateral acceleration and the third front-to-rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be statistically calculated as a third calibration table and stored in the memory of the vehicle. When the vehicle is driving, after obtaining the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration, the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration can be directly calculated. The limit lateral acceleration is compared with the data in the third calibration table, and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the current target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration can be quickly determined, so as to quickly obtain the current third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and determine the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient in combination with the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, and then distribute the torque to the front and rear axles of the vehicle by the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, so that the detection of the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is more accurate, and the accuracy and rationality of the front and rear axle torque distribution of the vehicle can be improved. In addition, the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration, that is, the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined based on the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration, so that when distributing the front and rear axle torque of the vehicle, the factors of the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration are combined, and the front and rear axle torque can be distributed in combination with the adhesion utilization rate when the vehicle is driving, so that the vehicle turns more stably and avoids the vehicle tail swing caused by large lateral acceleration.

[0066] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the target lateral acceleration of the vehicle includes: obtaining the vehicle speed and target yaw rate of the vehicle, and calculating the target lateral acceleration according to the vehicle speed and the target yaw rate. Specifically, the controller can directly obtain the vehicle speed and target yaw rate of the vehicle, and can calculate the current target lateral acceleration according to the product of the vehicle speed and the target yaw rate. In this way, the target lateral acceleration can be determined according to the real-time vehicle speed and the target yaw rate, and the target lateral acceleration has a higher matching degree with the current state of the vehicle, that is, it can more accurately reflect the current driving state of the vehicle, and then the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be determined more accurately, further improving the accuracy of the distribution of the front and rear axle torque of the vehicle.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient is determined according to the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, including: taking the sum of the first front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient, the second front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient and the third front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient as the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient. Thus, the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be determined based on yaw angle deviation, understeering and adhesion utilization, that is, the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be determined based on vehicle speed, the first difference between the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate, the second difference between the front axle slip angle and the rear axle slip angle, the actual lateral acceleration, the target lateral acceleration and the limit lateral acceleration, and thus the target front and rear axle torque distribution coefficient can be determined more accurately, so that the vehicle travels more stably, the steering performance is better, and the vehicle is prevented from drifting, and the user driving experience is better.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, the third torque distribution unit 43 is used to: determine whether the vehicle meets the economical driving conditions; if so, determine that the vehicle is in the economic mode driving state, then calculate the front axle target demand torque of the vehicle; and control the operating state of the front axle according to the front axle target demand torque.

[0069] Among them, the economic driving condition is that the vehicle mode meets the driver's driving demand for economic driving, for example, the driver's driving intention is to extend the vehicle's cruising range as much as possible. It is understandable that the economic driving condition will change according to the different driving modes of the vehicle. In the embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving state of the vehicle can be obtained to determine whether the current driving state of the vehicle meets the economic driving condition, that is, whether the driver's driving intention is to extend the cruising range as much as possible. By determining whether the economic driving condition is met according to the current driving state of the vehicle, when the driving state of the vehicle meets the economic driving condition, the corresponding front axle target demand torque can be determined, and then the vehicle is controlled to control the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle according to the front axle target demand torque, such as controlling the front axle to disconnect the torque path or keep the torque path, that is, controlling the front axle of the vehicle not to output torque or output torque. Among them, the front axle target demand torque is the current optimal torque distribution request for the front axle of the vehicle. By determining the front axle target demand torque of the vehicle, it can be ensured that the front axle target demand torque required by the vehicle at different times of driving will not be too small or too large, thereby providing data support for controlling the front axle torque of the vehicle.

[0070] In an embodiment, when the vehicle meets the economical driving conditions, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the vehicle's driving data, such as the required torque of the whole vehicle, the wheel-end speed corresponding to the front axle, and the wheel-end speed corresponding to the rear axle, can be obtained. According to the above parameters and in combination with the economic operation range of the motor, the target required torque of the front axle of the vehicle is calculated. By determining the target required torque of the front axle of the vehicle, the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle is controlled, so that the motor always runs efficiently, thereby improving the economy and efficiency of the vehicle operation.

[0071] In an embodiment, after determining the target torque required for the front axle, the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle is controlled according to the target torque required for the front axle. For example, the magnitude relationship between the target torque required for the front axle and the preset disconnection threshold is determined, and whether to disconnect the torque path of the front axle of the vehicle is determined according to the relationship between the two. When the target torque required for the front axle is less than the preset disconnection threshold, it means that the target torque required for the front axle is small, and the power required for the front axle is small and can be ignored. Then, the torque path of the front axle of the vehicle is directly disconnected, that is, the front axle is disconnected, no torque is output, and only the rear axle outputs torque. At this time, the vehicle is in a two-wheel drive mode (i.e., a rear-wheel drive mode) to reduce useless power output, so that the vehicle can continue to operate in an economical and efficient manner, improve the vehicle's cruising range, and improve the vehicle's economic performance.

[0072] In some embodiments, the operation state of the front axle is controlled according to the front axle target demand torque, including: when the front axle target demand torque is greater than or equal to the preset disconnection threshold value, the front axle is controlled to output a corresponding torque according to the front axle target demand torque. In an embodiment, the magnitude relationship between the front axle target demand torque and the preset disconnection threshold value is judged. When the front axle target demand torque is greater than or equal to the preset disconnection threshold value, it is considered that the front axle target demand torque is large, the power required by the front axle is large and cannot be ignored, and the front axle is controlled to output a corresponding torque according to the front axle target demand torque, and the vehicle is running in four-wheel drive mode.

[0073] In some embodiments, the operation state of the front axle is controlled according to the front axle target demand torque, and further includes: when the front axle target demand torque is less than the preset disconnection threshold value, the front axle is controlled to disconnect the torque path. In the embodiment, the magnitude relationship between the front axle target demand torque and the preset disconnection threshold value is judged. When the front axle target demand torque is less than the preset disconnection threshold value, it means that the front axle target demand torque is small, and the power required by the front axle is small and can be ignored. Then the torque path of the front axle is directly disconnected, that is, the front axle is disconnected, no torque is output, and only the rear axle outputs torque. At this time, the vehicle is in two-wheel drive mode (i.e., rear-wheel drive mode) to reduce useless power output, so that the vehicle can continue to operate in an economical and efficient manner, improve the vehicle's cruising range, and improve the vehicle's economic performance.

[0074] In some embodiments, calculating the target required torque of the front axle of the vehicle includes: obtaining the required torque of the whole vehicle and the front axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle; obtaining the target required torque of the front axle according to the required torque of the whole vehicle and the front axle torque distribution coefficient. In an embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving data of the vehicle can be obtained, such as the required torque of the whole vehicle and the front axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle. After obtaining the above parameters, the target required torque of the front axle of the vehicle is calculated according to the above parameters and in combination with the economic operation range of the motor. By determining the target required torque of the front axle of the vehicle, the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle is controlled, so that the motor always operates efficiently, thereby improving the economy and efficiency of the vehicle operation.

[0075] In some embodiments, obtaining the front axle torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle includes: obtaining the wheel end speed corresponding to the front axle; querying a preset wheel end speed-torque distribution coefficient correspondence calibration table according to the wheel end speed corresponding to the front axle to obtain the torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle. In an embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving data of the vehicle can be obtained, such as the wheel end speed corresponding to the front axle of the vehicle. After obtaining the wheel end speed corresponding to the front axle, querying a preset wheel end speed-torque distribution coefficient correspondence calibration table according to the wheel end speed corresponding to the front axle to obtain the torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle. By determining the torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the front axle, the corresponding front axle target demand torque can be determined, so as to control the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle according to the front axle target demand torque.

[0076] In some embodiments, the torque control method further includes: determining the target torque required for the rear axle of the vehicle according to the target torque required for the front axle; and distributing torque to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the target torque required for the rear axle. In an embodiment, after determining the target torque required for the front axle, the target torque required for the rear axle of the corresponding vehicle is determined according to the target torque required for the front axle, so as to distribute torque to the rear axle of the vehicle according to the target torque required for the rear axle, thereby distributing torque to the rear axle of the vehicle reasonably. Thus, when the front axle is disconnected, the vehicle is in rear-wheel drive mode, and when the front axle is not disconnected, the vehicle is in four-wheel drive mode.

[0077] In some embodiments, determining whether the vehicle meets the economical driving condition includes: when the vehicle is in at least one of a deceleration state, a gliding state, a cruise control driving mode or an energy-saving driving mode, determining that the vehicle meets the economical driving condition. In an embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving state of the vehicle can be obtained. For example, when the vehicle is in a deceleration state, or the vehicle is in a gliding state, the vehicle is in a cruise control mode, or the vehicle is in an energy-saving driving mode, namely, an ECO (Ecology, Conservation, Optimization) mode, it is considered that the driver's driving intention is to hope for as long a range as possible, then the current driving state of the vehicle meets the economical driving condition, thereby determining the corresponding front axle target demand torque, and then controlling the vehicle to control the operating state of the front axle of the vehicle according to the front axle target demand torque, such as controlling the front axle to disconnect the torque path or maintain the torque path, that is, controlling the front axle of the vehicle not to output torque or output torque.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, the fourth torque distribution unit 44 is used for: step S1, determining that the vehicle is in an energy driving state, such as when energy recovery is required under vehicle braking or coasting conditions, obtaining the vehicle's required torque and the torque distribution coefficient of the vehicle's target drive shaft, and distributing torque to the target drive shaft according to the vehicle's required torque and the torque distribution coefficient.

[0079] In an embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving state of the vehicle can be obtained to determine whether the current driving state of the vehicle can perform energy recovery. For example, when the vehicle is braking or coasting, it is determined that the vehicle is in an energy recovery driving state. Among them, the vehicle demand torque is the driver's demand torque request for the motor, and the target drive shaft includes: the front axle and / or the rear axle. That is, the target drive shaft is the front axle, or the target drive shaft is the rear axle, or the target drive shaft includes the front axle and the rear axle. Thus, the torque distribution coefficient of the front axle, or the torque distribution coefficient of the rear axle, or the torque distribution coefficient of each of the front axle and the rear axle can be obtained. The torque distribution coefficient is the torque request for the whole vehicle demand torque to be distributed to the target drive shaft. By determining the above parameters, data support can be provided for the reasonable distribution of the torque of the target drive shaft of the vehicle, and the real-time monitoring of the vehicle itself and the adaptive distribution of the target drive shaft torque can be realized, so that when the vehicle recovers energy, it is ensured that the vehicle can use the torque more effectively, thereby improving the efficiency of the vehicle torque distribution. In an embodiment, when the vehicle is in an energy recovery driving state, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time, and the driving data of the vehicle can be obtained, such as the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient of the target drive shaft of the vehicle. After obtaining the above parameters, the target drive shaft of the vehicle is reasonably distributed with respect to the above parameters, so that the motor always runs in an efficient recovery range, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can use the torque more effectively. In an embodiment, after obtaining the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient, the target drive shaft of the vehicle is reasonably distributed with respect to the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient, that is, the front axle of the vehicle is distributed with respect to the torque, and / or the rear axle of the vehicle is distributed with respect to the torque, so that the motor always runs in an efficient recovery range, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can use the torque more effectively, and the excess torque is recovered.

[0080] In some embodiments, torque is distributed to the target drive shaft according to the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient, including: obtaining the target output torque of the target drive shaft according to the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient; and distributing torque to the target drive shaft of the vehicle according to the target output torque. In an embodiment, after obtaining the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient, the target output torque of the target drive shaft is jointly determined according to the required torque of the whole vehicle and the torque distribution coefficient, so as to reasonably distribute torque to the target drive shaft of the vehicle according to the target output torque of the target drive shaft, that is, to distribute torque to the front axle of the vehicle, and / or to distribute torque to the rear axle of the vehicle, so that the motor always runs in the high-efficiency recovery range, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can use torque more effectively and recover energy from excess torque.

[0081] In some embodiments, obtaining the torque distribution coefficient of the target drive shaft of the vehicle includes: obtaining the wheel end speed corresponding to the target drive shaft; querying a preset wheel end speed-torque distribution coefficient correspondence calibration table according to the wheel end speed corresponding to the target drive shaft to obtain the torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the target drive shaft. In an embodiment, the driving state of the vehicle under different driving conditions can be monitored in real time through relevant sensors or controllers on the vehicle, and the driving data of the vehicle can be obtained, such as the wheel end speed corresponding to the target drive shaft. After obtaining the wheel end speed corresponding to the target drive shaft, querying a preset wheel end speed-torque distribution coefficient correspondence calibration table according to the wheel end speed corresponding to the target drive shaft to obtain the torque distribution coefficient corresponding to the target drive shaft.
