[0002] Pneumatic braking is already very mature, but it still has the disadvantages of complex structure, high maintenance cost, poor braking accuracy and stability. With the in-depth transformation of wire control, reducing complex mechanical transmission mechanisms, pursuing lighter weight, less fuel consumption, lower cost, and more concise, fast and precise control has become a general trend. The electronic mechanical braking system (EMB) has emerged as the next generation of vehicle braking system due to its unique advantages such as simple structure, light weight, rapid response, precise and stable control, and has developed rapidly. At present, the electronic mechanical braking system provides limited braking force and cannot meet the high-intensity braking requirements of vehicles under emergency braking, so redundant design is required.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the flow control module includes: an upper passage 401 , a lower cut-off passage 402 , and a spring 403 .

[0055] Furthermore, the angle valve control module is used to control the on-off and opening degree of the gas path between the gas storage device and the flow control module.

[0056] Furthermore, the flow control module is used to control the on-off and opening degree of the air path between the angle valve control module and the brake air chamber.

[0057] Furthermore, the real-time status information of the whole vehicle includes the real-time status information of the whole vehicle power system, the real-time status information of the cockpit, and the real-time commands related to the vehicle intelligent driving system and the real-time control commands of the driver.

[0058] Furthermore, the vehicle control unit receives real-time status information of the entire vehicle, identifies the driver's operating intention based on the pedal sensor information in the angle valve control module, calculates the torque of the wheel-side command for vehicle dynamics control, completes the four-wheel torque distribution, and transmits the distribution information and the vehicle target motion command to the brake control unit.

[0059] Furthermore, the brake control unit receives the four-wheel torque distribution information from the vehicle control unit, calculates the target torque of the wheel according to the braking torque requirement, and transmits the distribution instruction to the pneumatic control module and the EMB control module. Among them, the electronic mechanical brake is given priority when distributing the torque, and the pneumatic brake is distributed when the braking torque provided by the electronic mechanical brake cannot meet the braking requirement.

The pneumatic brake module includes a brake chamber, a safety valve, and a pressure regulating module.

[0066] The pneumatic-electric hybrid vehicle braking system according to the embodiment of the present invention can give full play to the advantages of the integrated integration of the pneumatic braking system and the electronic mechanical braking system, and can realize the system failure safety redundant control function while having fast braking response speed, simple structure, low maintenance cost and guaranteed braking effect. It can realize redundant switching during emergency high-intensity braking or when the electronic mechanical braking system suddenly fails, thereby improving the driving safety of the car.

[0067] In order to implement the above embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a gas-electric hybrid vehicle braking control method, including:

[0068] S1, receives the real-time status information of the vehicle through the vehicle control unit, identifies the driver's operation intention according to the pedal sensor information in the angle valve control module, calculates the torque of the wheel side command of the vehicle dynamics control, completes the four-wheel torque distribution, and transmits the distribution information and the vehicle target motion command to the brake control unit;

[0069] S2, receiving the four-wheel torque distribution information from the vehicle control unit through the brake control unit, and performing electronic mechanical braking / pneumatic braking distribution calculation on the target torque of the wheel according to the braking torque requirement, so as to transmit different torque distribution instructions to the pneumatic control module and the EMB control module;

[0070] S3, calculating the current command of the EMB motor according to the corresponding torque distribution command received by the EMB control module, thereby realizing torque control of the electronic mechanical brake;

[0071] S4, the pneumatic control module calculates the corresponding opening state of the flow control module according to the corresponding torque distribution instruction received, thereby realizing the torque control of the pneumatic brake.

[0072] Specifically, the gas-electric hybrid vehicle braking control method of the present invention is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the process includes the following:

[0073] First, the vehicle control unit receives the real-time status information of the vehicle, calculates the torque of the wheel-side command for vehicle dynamics control according to the driver's operating intention, completes the four-wheel braking torque distribution, and transmits the distribution information and vehicle target motion instructions to the braking control unit.

[0074] Furthermore, the braking control unit receives the four-wheel torque distribution information and the vehicle target motion command from the vehicle control unit, performs electronic mechanical braking / pneumatic braking distribution calculations on the four-wheel braking torque according to the braking torque requirements, and transmits the distribution command to the pneumatic control module and the EMB control module.

[0075] Furthermore, the EMB control module calculates the current command of the EMB motor according to the received torque distribution command, thereby realizing torque control of the electronic mechanical brake.

[0076] Furthermore, the pneumatic control module calculates the corresponding opening state of the flow control module according to the received torque distribution instruction, thereby realizing the torque control of the pneumatic brake.

[0077] Furthermore, when the driver does not step on the pedal, the angle valve control module is located at the lower cut-off position. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the angle valve control module connects the upper passage, and the air path between the air storage device and the flow control module is connected. The brake pedal can control the opening of the upper passage of the angle valve. The greater the pedal stroke, the greater the opening. When the driver withdraws the pedal force, the angle valve control module returns to the lower cut-off position under the action of the spring, and the air path between the air storage device and the flow control module is disconnected.

[0078] Furthermore, when the system is powered on, the flow control module overcomes the spring force and remains in the lower cut-off position. When the flow control module receives instructions from the pneumatic control module, it turns from the lower cut-off position to the upper passage position, and at the same time adjusts the opening of the passage according to the torque allocated by the pneumatic control module. When the system is powered off, the flow control module maintains the maximum opening position of the upper passage under the action of the spring force.

[0079] Furthermore, setting T limit is the maximum threshold value of the motor braking torque. When the vehicle is powered on normally and the driver steps on the brake pedal, the vehicle is in the braking state. The angle valve control module connects the upper passage, and the air path between the air storage device and the flow control module is connected, but the flow control module is still in the lower cut-off position, and the air pressure brake does not work. The vehicle control unit determines the actual braking torque T required for the vehicle according to the pedal feel sensor in the angle valve control module. The vehicle control unit determines that the actual required braking torque T < T limit When the vehicle control unit determines that it is the normal braking mode, it only sends instructions to the EMB control module. The EMB control module completes the EMB braking force distribution of the four wheels according to the instructions and controls the EMB motor to generate braking force. At this time, the air brake still does not work. When the vehicle control unit determines that the actual required braking torque T>T limit , it is the emergency braking mode. The vehicle control unit completes the distribution of four-wheel braking torque and EMB / pneumatic braking torque according to the brake pedal opening feedback by the pedal feel sensor. The EMB control module completes the EMB braking force distribution of the four wheels according to the instructions and controls the EMB motor to generate braking torque. At the same time, the pneumatic control module sends an instruction to the flow control module. The flow control module overcomes the spring force and turns from the lower cut-off path to the upper passage position. At this time, the air path between the air storage device and the brake air chamber is connected, the pneumatic brake works, and the passage opening is adjusted according to the torque allocated by the pneumatic control module to adjust the pneumatic braking torque.

[0080] Furthermore, when the driver releases the brake pedal, the angle valve control module first returns to the lower cut-off position from the upper passage, and the flow control module remains in its original position. At this time, the air storage device and the brake air chamber are connected to the atmosphere through the pressure relief port, and the air pressure in the brake air chamber returns to atmospheric pressure, and the pneumatic braking stops. Subsequently, the pneumatic control module sends an instruction to the flow control module, and the flow control module turns from the upper passage to the lower cut-off position, the air path between the air storage device and the brake air chamber is disconnected, and the pneumatic braking returns to the non-working state.

[0081] Furthermore, when the vehicle loses power due to an accident or component failure, the pneumatic control module and the EMB control module cannot work normally. At this time, the flow control module is turned from the lower cut-off circuit to the maximum opening position of the upper passage under the action of spring force. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the angle valve control module is turned from the lower cut-off circuit to the upper passage position. At this time, the air path between the air storage device and the brake air chamber is connected, and the passage opening of the angle valve control module can be adjusted in real time according to the pedal stroke stepped on by the driver. The vehicle can also achieve pneumatic braking with different torque sizes when the power is off.

[0082] The pneumatic-electric hybrid vehicle braking control method according to the embodiment of the present invention can give full play to the advantages of the integrated integration of the pneumatic braking system and the electronic mechanical braking system, and can realize the system failure safety redundant control function while having fast braking response speed, simple structure, low maintenance cost and guaranteed braking effect. It can realize redundant switching during emergency high-intensity braking or when the electronic mechanical braking system suddenly fails, thereby improving the driving safety of the car.
