Compared with other drive types, wheel hub drive has the advantages of more flexible control, simpler mechanical transmission structure and higher transmission efficiency, and is considered to have great potential in driving vehicles. Switched reluctance motor has the advantages of high cost-effectiveness, low starting current, high power density, large starting torque and high reliability, and has great application potential in the automotive industry.

[0003] However, unlike the traditional centralized drive, in the wheel hub drive system, the motor, brake and wheel hub are concentrated in one unit, which may increase the unsprung mass of the vehicle, resulting in vertical vibration of the vehicle.

The existing technologies mainly suppress the vertical vibration of the vehicle through motor drive system control technology and active suspension control technology respectively, and do not take into account the coupling characteristics between the suspension and the wheel hub motor under the vehicle feedback braking condition. Considering the vehicle braking condition, the switched reluctance wheel hub motor can be used as a generator to recover braking energy, thereby increasing the vehicle's cruising range.

[0044] Through the above steps, according to a vehicle electromechanical coupling control method that takes into account braking comfort and cruising range, the purpose of using the controller in this embodiment to improve the braking comfort and cruising range of a vehicle driven by a hub motor under braking conditions can be achieved.

[0045] Specifically, the present invention provides a vehicle electromechanical coupling control method that takes into account braking comfort and cruising range, including: establishing a braking force distribution controller for obtaining the total braking force of the vehicle and distributing it to the motor drive system and the mechanical braking system; establishing an active suspension optimization controller for obtaining the active suspension control force of the hub motor-suspension system, thereby achieving coupled control of the vehicle's braking vertical dynamics performance and cruising range; establishing a switched reluctance hub motor coordination controller for obtaining the motor drive system chopping signal, thereby achieving coordinated control of the vehicle's braking comfort and cruising range; establishing a motor angle optimization controller for obtaining the motor drive system switch angle signal, thereby achieving a comprehensive improvement in the vehicle's braking comfort and cruising range.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1 The braking force distribution controller shown in the figure combines the external characteristics of the motor and the ideal braking force distribution curve to establish a vehicle front and rear axle braking force distribution model based on braking intensity partitioning, realizes the distribution of the vehicle's front and rear axle braking force, considers the coupling characteristics of the vehicle's real-time driving parameters, formulates the vehicle's electromechanical braking force distribution coupling factor, realizes the vehicle's electromechanical braking force coupling distribution, and Figure 1 In the figure, GT refers to the control signal from the brake torque controller, which is used to follow the reference electric brake force distributed to the motor drive system by the brake force distribution controller; Gk refers to the control signal from the PWM generator, which is used to coordinate the vehicle's vertical comfort and cruising range; GA refers to the signal from the switch signal controller, which is used to further coordinate the vehicle's braking comfort and cruising range; G is a fusion signal, which is obtained by logical operation of GT, GA, and Gk, and is used to improve the vehicle's braking performance and cruising range.

[0047] The vehicle front and rear axle braking force distribution method based on braking intensity partitioning is defined as Figure 2 And formula (2), that is: when the vehicle's current braking intensity is between 0 and z 1, the vehicle braking force distribution follows the OA line; when the vehicle's current braking intensity is between z 1 and z 2, the vehicle braking force distribution follows the AB line; when the vehicle's current braking intensity is between z 2 and z 3, the vehicle braking force distribution follows the BC line; when the vehicle's current braking intensity is between z 3 and z 4, the vehicle braking force distribution follows the CD line; when the vehicle's current braking strength exceeds z At 4, the vehicle braking force distribution follows the I curve.

[0048] (2) in, m is the vehicle mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, z is the vehicle braking strength, F bf and F br is the braking force on the front and rear axles of the vehicle, z 1. z 2. z 3. And z 4 are the braking intensities corresponding to points A, B, C and D, βmax is the maximum front wheel braking force distribution coefficient, φ is the road adhesion coefficient, L is the vehicle wheelbase, b is the distance from the vehicle center of mass to the rear axle, and hg is the height of the vehicle center of mass. In fact, according to the proposed braking intensity partitioning vehicle front and rear axle braking force distribution model, as shown in Figure 2 And as shown in formula (2). According to formula (2), the sizes of z1, z2, z3 and z4 can be calculated as 0.15, 0.1621, 0.4482 and 0.6 respectively.

[0049] OA line: Point A is the intersection of OA line and AB line, and the corresponding braking intensity is 0.15. The vehicle braking intensity is relatively small, which can effectively ensure the braking safety performance. At this time, in order to maximize the vehicle energy recovery, the total braking force required by the vehicle is preferentially provided by the motor regenerative braking force.

[0050] AB line: As the braking intensity gradually increases, in order to ensure braking safety performance and meet ECE braking regulations, the rear wheels partially participate in the braking process, but the front wheel motor still bears most of the vehicle's braking force.

[0051] BC line: Point B is the intersection of AB line and BC line, and the corresponding braking intensity is 0.1621. As the braking intensity exceeds z2, the braking force distribution curve should meet the BC line in order to obtain more feedback braking energy with braking safety as the premise.

[0052] CD line: Point C is the intersection of the f line and the BC line when the road adhesion coefficient is 0.6, and the corresponding braking intensity is 0.4482. As the braking intensity exceeds z3, the vehicle's braking force can easily exceed the ground limit, and the front wheels may lock and slip. Therefore, in order to ensure braking safety, the vehicle's braking force is distributed according to the CD line at this time, allowing the rear wheels to bear more of the vehicle's braking force.

[0053] I curve: Point D is the intersection of line f and the ideal braking force curve when the road adhesion coefficient is 0.6. When the braking intensity is greater than 0.6, in order to ensure the braking performance of the vehicle, the front and rear wheel braking forces should be distributed along the ideal braking force distribution curve.

[0054] Specifically, the vehicle electromechanical braking force distribution coupling factor is defined as formula (3), that is: determine whether each coupling factor meets the restriction conditions: if at least one meets the restriction, the vehicle braking force is only provided by the mechanical braking system; otherwise, it will be provided by the mechanical braking system and the motor drive system. Further determine whether the braking force distributed to the drive wheel exceeds the maximum electric braking force it can generate. If not, the wheel braking force is only provided by the motor drive braking system; otherwise, the excess is provided by the mechanical braking system. Therefore, the regenerative braking torque actually generated by the motor T act It can be calculated as formula (4).

[0058] Specifically, according to Figure 3 The wheel hub motor-suspension system dynamics model is established, its mathematical model is established, and its spatial state equation is further established, as shown in Equations (5) and (6), respectively. Then, considering the balance between the vehicle vertical comfort and the suspension vibration energy loss, the cost function of the system is defined, as shown in Equation (7).

[0063] Specifically, considering the high nonlinear characteristics of the wheel hub motor-suspension system and the high cost of measuring the system state variables, the present invention uses a Kalman filter estimation algorithm to estimate the system state variables, discretizes equation (6), and obtains equation (9): (9) in, x k is the system state quantity, A cd is the discretized state matrix, B ud is the discretized control matrix, u k is the system control quantity, B ωd is the discretized disturbance matrix (process noise), ω k is the system disturbance, y k is the system measurement, v k is the system measurement noise.

The genetic algorithm optimization process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown: First, randomly create an initial individual population that satisfies the constraints, that is, q 1 、q 2 、q 3 、q 4 、q 5 and r ; Then, the LQR controller calculates and generates the active suspension control force to the wheel hub motor-suspension system model and outputs the system optimization index; then, the system comprehensive index is calculated through the adaptability function (multi-index optimization function) established by formula (16); then, it is determined whether the termination condition is met: if yes, it ends; if not, it continues to perform genetic operations and regenerates a new individual population.

The motor drive system control parameters including the opening angle and the closing angle are optimized by genetic algorithm to obtain the motor optimal switch angle signal based on vehicle braking condition adaptation. The calculation formula of the multi-index optimization function is shown in formula (1). The genetic algorithm optimization process can be described as follows: First, randomly create an initial individual population that meets the constraints, that is, θ on and θ off, acts on the motor drive system and outputs the optimization index; then, the system comprehensive index is calculated through the adaptive function (multi-index optimization function) established by formula (1); then, it is determined whether the termination condition is met: if yes, it ends; if not, it continues to perform genetic operations and regenerates a new individual population. This cycle is repeated until the individual adaptive function reaches the target value or the algorithm reaches the number of iterations.

[0072] Through the above steps, according to a vehicle electromechanical coupling control method that takes into account braking comfort and cruising range, the purpose of using the controller in this embodiment to improve the braking comfort and cruising range of a vehicle driven by a hub motor under braking conditions can be achieved.
