Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle control technology, and in particular to a transmission gear control method, a transmission controller and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mainstream solution of electric drive system is to integrate the motor controller, motor and single-speed reducer into a three-in-one design. The single-speed reducer is a fixed speed ratio reducer. The single-speed ratio used in the electric drive system is mostly between 8 and 14. However, because the fixed speed ratio reducer has only one gear, the electric drive system is often in the non-optimal efficiency area, resulting in a waste of electricity and reducing the driving range of electric vehicles. In addition, the requirements for the drive motor are increased. The drive motor equipped with only a single-speed reducer must provide a higher torque in the constant torque area and a higher operating speed in the constant power area to meet the overall performance requirements of the vehicle such as acceleration, climbing, and high-speed driving. Therefore, the use of two-speed gearboxes in electric vehicles has gradually entered the public's field of vision. The characteristics of the two-speed reducer can solve the above contradictions, and the automatic shifting device is combined with the two-speed gearbox to realize the automatic shifting.

[0003] Compared with the electric drive system with a single-speed reducer, the electric drive system equipped with a two-speed gearbox should pursue the optimal vehicle power and economy. Usually, when the accelerator pedal is opened to the maximum, the car has the strongest power, but it also increases the power consumption of the whole vehicle. When the accelerator is opened to the minimum, the power consumption of the whole vehicle can be reduced, but the power of the whole vehicle is insufficient at this time. At present, the control strategy for the electric drive system equipped with a two-speed gearbox is relatively simple. For example, it is driven by 1st gear in the whole vehicle sports mode and by 2nd gear in the whole vehicle economic mode. This strategy does not fully realize the reasonable allocation of the 1st and 2nd gear working points. The overall efficiency of the electric bridge system is not at the optimal working point, and there is a certain room for improvement in energy consumption. Therefore, in response to the above problems, a more intelligent control strategy needs to be developed.

[0004] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background technology section of the invention is only intended to deepen the understanding of the general background technology of the invention, and should not be regarded as an admission or suggestion in any form that the information constitutes prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0039] The core idea of ​​the present invention is to provide a transmission gear control method, a transmission controller and a readable storage medium, which can optimize the energy consumption of the entire vehicle, thereby helping to improve the cruising range, reduce energy consumption, and be environmentally friendly.

[0040] It should be noted that the transmission gear position control method provided by the present invention can be applied to the transmission controller provided by the present invention, wherein the transmission controller can be a hardware device with various operating systems. The transmission gear position control method provided by the present invention can be applied to pure electric vehicles, including sports utility vehicles (SUVs), buses, trucks, and passenger vehicles including various commercial vehicles.

[0041] To realize the above idea, the present invention provides a gearbox gear control method, wherein the gearbox has at least two gears. Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of a transmission gear position control method provided by one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the gearbox gear control method comprises the following steps:

[0042] Step S100: acquiring real-time traffic information, and acquiring predicted operating condition information of the electric drive system based on the real-time traffic information.

[0043] Step S200, obtaining the operating condition energy loss information and the gear shifting energy loss information of the electric drive system under different gear positions according to the pre-acquired energy loss distribution information of the electric drive system under different gear positions and the predicted operating condition information.

[0044] Step S300: determining a target gearbox gear according to the operating energy loss information of the electric drive system under different gearbox gears and the gear shifting energy loss information.

[0045] It can be seen that the transmission control method provided by the present invention can optimize the energy consumption of the whole vehicle, thereby helping to improve the cruising range, reduce energy consumption, and be environmentally friendly. In addition, the transmission gear control method provided by the present invention can intelligently predict the operating conditions of the vehicle (i.e., the operating conditions of the electric drive system) and make gear planning in advance. It can select a transmission gear with less loss for operation according to the upcoming uphill, downhill or congested area to ensure that the vehicle is in a suitable transmission gear, thereby optimizing the performance and energy consumption of the whole vehicle, and then effectively improving the driving experience of the whole vehicle.

[0046] Specifically, the energy loss distribution information of the electric drive system under different gearbox gears can be obtained by actual vehicle calibration. Further, for each gearbox gear, the energy loss (in W) under different voltages, different oil temperatures, and different working conditions can be calculated according to the pre-created vehicle energy consumption model to obtain the energy loss distribution information of the electric drive system under the gearbox gear. Further, based on the energy loss distribution information of the electric drive system under different gearbox gears, the additional energy loss generated when switching from the current gearbox gear to any other gearbox gear (any gearbox gear other than the current gearbox gear) under the predicted working condition (predicted operating condition), the current vehicle oil temperature, and the current vehicle working voltage can be evaluated, thereby obtaining the gear shift energy loss information. It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, for each gearbox gear, the working condition energy loss information of the electric drive system under the gearbox gear can be determined based on the current vehicle oil temperature, the current vehicle working voltage, and the predicted working condition (predicted operating condition), and combined with the energy loss distribution information of the electric drive system under the gearbox gear.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, acquiring predicted operating condition information of the electric drive system according to the real-time road condition information includes:

[0048] Acquiring vehicle speed prediction information according to the real-time road condition information;

[0049] According to the vehicle speed prediction information, the predicted operating condition information of the electric drive system is obtained.

[0050] Specifically, real-time traffic information (such as road types, traffic flow and weather information provided by satellite navigation systems, etc.) can be obtained through the Internet of Vehicles. The road conditions ahead can be predicted through real-time traffic information, so that the possible vehicle speed can be calculated (i.e., vehicle speed prediction information is obtained). Furthermore, the operating point of the electric drive system can be calculated based on the calculated vehicle speed in combination with the vehicle dynamics equation (i.e., the predicted operating condition information of the electric drive system is obtained).

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, determining the target gearbox gear according to the operating condition energy loss information and the gear shifting energy loss information of the electric drive system at different gearbox gears includes:

[0052] Determining energy loss information corresponding to the current gearbox gear according to the working condition energy loss information of the electric drive system under the current gearbox gear;

[0053] For each other gearbox gear position except the current gearbox gear position, determine the energy loss information corresponding to the other gearbox gear position according to the operating condition energy loss information of the electric drive system in the other gearbox gear position and the gear shift energy loss information when switching from the current gearbox gear position to the other gearbox gear position;

[0054] The target gearbox gear is determined according to the energy loss information corresponding to each gearbox gear.

[0055] Specifically, for the current transmission gear, the corresponding energy loss is the operating condition energy loss under the gear; for any other transmission gear other than the current transmission gear, since additional energy loss will be generated when switching from the current transmission gear to the other transmission gear, the sum of the operating condition energy loss under the other transmission gear and the gear shifting energy loss when switching from the current transmission gear to the other transmission gear is taken as the energy loss corresponding to the other transmission gear.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, the target gearbox gear is determined according to the energy loss information corresponding to each gearbox gear, and the target gearbox gear is determined, including:

[0057] If there is at least one other gearbox gear position whose energy loss is smaller than the energy loss corresponding to the current gearbox gear position, and the absolute value of the difference between the two is larger than the preset gear shift threshold, then the other gearbox gear position with the smallest energy loss is used as the target gearbox gear position;

[0058] Otherwise, the current gearbox gear is used as the target gearbox gear.

[0059] Thus, the gear shifting operation is performed only when switching from the current gearbox gear to another gearbox gear can bring energy savings exceeding the preset gear shifting threshold, so that the vehicle can run with minimized energy consumption, thereby effectively improving the vehicle's driving efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art can understand, the preset shifting threshold can be determined based on actual test data and statistical methods. It should also be noted that, as those skilled in the art can understand, if there is no other gearbox gear corresponding to an energy loss that is less than the energy loss corresponding to the current gearbox gear, and the absolute value of the difference between the two is less than the preset shifting threshold, no shifting operation is performed, that is, the current gearbox gear is still used as the target gearbox gear.

[0061] Specifically, take the gearbox having two gears, 1st gear and 2nd gear, as an example, wherein 1st gear is a high-speed ratio gear and 2nd gear is a low-speed ratio gear. Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of the gearbox shifting principle provided by one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, when the vehicle is driven in economy mode (eco mode), such as when driving the WLTC (World Light Vehicle Test Procedure), the system will preset the 2nd gear as the starting gear, and based on the goal of optimal energy consumption, solve the energy consumption values ​​under different gears, and comprehensively consider the gear shifting energy consumption value and the gear shifting threshold. According to the actual driving conditions and the results of dynamic loss evaluation, if the gear is reduced from 2nd gear to 1st gear, the total energy consumption can be reduced, and the gear shifting energy loss can be considered in time, the system will also choose to shift gears to maximize the overall efficiency of the system.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, determining the target gearbox gear according to the energy loss information corresponding to each gearbox gear includes:

[0063] According to the energy loss information, power response information and driving comfort information corresponding to each gearbox gear, the gearbox gear that meets the preset multi-objective optimization conditions is used as the target gearbox gear.

[0064] Therefore, by considering energy loss, power response and driving comfort in the shift decision, and establishing a multi-objective optimization framework, the best balance can be found between these different objectives (minimum energy loss, optimal power response, and optimal driving comfort). Specifically, in the vehicle sports mode, the power is given priority, and the power response is mainly considered to achieve the strongest power performance of the electric drive system. For example, when the road ahead is predicted to be uphill, the upshift is delayed to ensure the power; in the vehicle economic mode, energy loss is given priority. For example, if the traffic congestion ahead is predicted based on the real-time road condition information, the gear with a lower speed ratio is preferred. In summary, by using the gearbox gear that meets the preset multi-objective optimization conditions as the target gearbox gear, not only the economy and power performance of the car can be optimized, but also the overall driving experience can be improved. At the same time, while ensuring that the vehicle has good economy, the driving habits of the owner and the changes in real-time working conditions are comprehensively considered to achieve the best balance between power and economy.

[0065] It should be noted that, as can be understood by those skilled in the art, for each gearbox gear, the driving comfort information corresponding to the gearbox gear can be determined according to the rate of change of the acceleration of the wheel at the gearbox gear.

[0066] In some exemplary implementations, for each gearbox gear, the power response information corresponding to the gearbox gear is determined based on an external characteristic curve of the electric drive system at the gearbox gear.

[0067] Specifically, for each gearbox gear, the power response information corresponding to the gearbox gear is determined according to the maximum envelope of the external characteristic curve of the electric drive system at the gearbox gear, so as to achieve the strongest power performance of the electric drive system.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, the transmission gear control method provided by the present invention further includes:

[0069] Real-time vehicle status information is acquired, and an optimal gear shifting timing is determined based on the real-time vehicle status information and the predicted operating condition information.

[0070] Therefore, by acquiring real-time vehicle status information and determining the optimal gear shifting timing based on the real-time vehicle status information and the predicted operating condition information, it can not only ensure a smooth transition when changing speed, reduce energy loss and improve ride comfort, but also help reduce mechanical wear caused by unnecessary gear shifting operations, thereby helping to extend the service life of the vehicle.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, the vehicle status information includes vehicle speed information, acceleration information, and accelerator pedal position information.

[0072] Therefore, by determining the best gear shifting time based on real-time vehicle speed information, acceleration information and accelerator pedal position information, it is possible to further effectively ensure a smooth transition during gear shifting, reduce energy loss and improve ride comfort.

[0073] In some exemplary embodiments, determining the optimal shift timing according to the real-time vehicle state information and the predicted operating condition information includes:

[0074] The real-time vehicle status information and the predicted operating condition information are input into a pre-trained gear shift prediction model to determine whether the current time is the best time to shift gears.

[0075] By using a pre-trained gear shift prediction model to determine the optimal gear shift timing, it can help achieve efficient gear switching logic, further ensuring smooth transition when changing speed, reducing energy loss and improving ride comfort.

[0076] It should be noted that, as those skilled in the art can understand, the gear shift prediction model can be any machine learning model. Specifically, for the specific content of how to obtain a trained gear shift prediction model, reference can be made to the relevant content in the field of machine learning known to those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated here. It should also be noted that, as those skilled in the art can understand, if the real-time vehicle status information (including vehicle speed, acceleration, accelerator pedal position and other information) and the predicted operating condition information match the vehicle status information and operating condition information corresponding to the optimal shift point determined in the historical data, it indicates that the current time is the best time to shift gears.

[0077] In some exemplary embodiments, the transmission gear control method provided by the present invention further includes:

[0078] The network parameters of the gear shift prediction model are updated in real time according to the vehicle state information and the operating condition information when the gear shift operation is performed.

[0079] Therefore, by updating the network parameters of the shift prediction model in real time according to the vehicle status information and operating condition information when performing the shift operation, the shift points can be continuously learned and optimized to adapt to the driver's driving behavior and the specific response of the vehicle, thereby helping to achieve optimal energy efficiency and power performance.

Since the readable storage medium provided by the present invention and the transmission gear position control method provided by the present invention belong to the same inventive concept, the readable storage medium provided by the present invention at least has all the beneficial effects of the transmission gear position control method provided by the present invention. For details, reference can be made to the relevant contents above regarding the beneficial effects of the transmission gear position control method provided by the present invention, so the beneficial effects of the readable storage medium provided by the present invention will not be described one by one here.

[0085] Specifically, the readable storage medium provided by the present invention can adopt any combination of one or more computer-readable media. The readable medium can be a computer-readable signal medium or a computer-readable storage medium.
