Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobiles, and in particular, to an inefficient heating method, system and vehicle for an electric drive of an electric vehicle. Background Art

[0002] As the main energy source of current electric vehicles, the available power and charging and discharging power of lithium-ion power batteries are significantly reduced by low-temperature environments, and low-temperature charging will accelerate battery attenuation and aging due to lithium plating on the anode. To restore the lithium-ion battery to a normal or optimal state, the battery heating function is particularly important. Therefore, it is possible to consider heating the power battery to an appropriate temperature to improve the charging and discharging ability and battery life of the power battery.

[0003] Among the models with power battery heating, the method of laying external heating materials such as PTC (positive temperature coefficient thermistor) and heating films for the power battery is mainly adopted, which increases the cost of the whole vehicle and also increases the weight of the whole vehicle, reducing the cruising range. Based on this situation, a variety of heating technologies for power batteries through the electric drive system have emerged.

[0004] One of the existing technologies is to equivalent the power battery as a resistor, capacitor, and ideal voltage source in series and parallel, and the inverter as an ideal current source. The system forms an RL resonance circuit, and the control target is to make the effective value of the current flowing through the bus as large as possible to increase the internal resistance heating of the battery to achieve the purpose of heating the power battery. However, this scheme depends more on the matching of the vehicle's high-voltage power circuit system. The temperature rise of the bus capacitor is relatively fast and it is difficult to reach the thermal equilibrium steady state, and thermal failure is likely to occur. In addition, the switching frequency of the power device during operation is basically fixed and the noise is large. Another existing technology is to add components outside the controller of the electric drive assembly to control the battery discharge and use the discharge current to complete self-heating. However, this scheme has high requirements for the control components of the motor controller and is not conducive to cost control. Summary of the Invention

[0045] Embodiment 1

[0046] This embodiment provides an inefficient heating method for the electric drive of an electric vehicle, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0047] In a low-temperature environment, obtain the ambient temperature information T env , motor temperature information T mot , power battery temperature T bat , SOC value (state of charge of the battery), determine whether the preset heating condition is satisfied, and when the preset heating condition is satisfied, send a heating instruction to the vehicle controller, and the heating instruction is used to transfer the heating demand of the power battery. The sending of the instruction can be completed by the vehicle thermal management system. The following specifically describes the judgment process of the preferred preset heating condition, which is divided into the following steps:

[0048] In step A1, obtain and based on the ambient temperature information T env , motor temperature information T mot , power battery temperature T bat and SOC value to determine whether the vehicle is in an inefficient state; the inefficient state is T env ≤ -5°C, and T bat ≤ 10°C and the SOC value ≥ 20%;

[0049] In step A2, if it is recognized that the vehicle is in an inefficient state, start the comprehensive judgment timer, and after the vehicle continuously remains in the inefficient state for more than the preset time threshold, send a heating instruction to the vehicle controller. The setting range of the preset time threshold can be [120, 180] seconds, preferably 150 seconds, covering the battery thermal inertia period and reducing the probability of heating mis-triggering. It is determined that the battery temperature change lags behind the ambient temperature, and it is necessary to ensure stable temperature sampling;

[0050] Judge the vehicle running state according to the preset state judgment rule. The preset state judgment rule is: when the vehicle is in N gear or P gear and the motor speed is 0, it is determined to be in the parking state; when the vehicle is in D gear or R gear and the motor speed is not 0, it is determined to be in the driving state. Among them, N gear is the neutral gear, D gear is the forward gear, and R gear is the reverse gear. The judgment of the vehicle running state can be completed by the vehicle controller.

[0051] Depending on the different vehicle running states, this embodiment provides corresponding inefficient heating methods for the electric drive. The following specifically describes the inefficient heating method for the electric drive when the vehicle is in the parking state. When it is determined that the vehicle is in the parking state:

[0052] Send a parking inefficient heating instruction to the motor controller, and at the same time increase the vehicle water flow duty ratio to the preset parking water flow duty ratio;

[0053] The calculation formula for the preset parking water flow duty ratio is: D_parking = k1 * ΔT + b1, where:

[0054] D_parking is the preset parking water flow duty ratio, k1 refers to the sensitivity coefficient of ΔT to the water flow, and ΔT is the difference between the ambient temperature information T env and the temperature T of the power battery bat , and b1 refers to the basic duty ratio to ensure the minimum heat dissipation requirement. Through the bench test of the cooling system, adjust ΔT and the duty ratio D_parking, record the heat dissipation power, fit k1 and b1. The coefficient k1 is preferably 1.5 ± 0.2, and b1 is preferably 50 ± 5, which can ensure that for every 1°C increase in ΔT, the duty ratio increases by about 1.5%, and the basic heat dissipation capacity covers the working condition at -20°C;

[0055] When the motor controller receives the parking low-efficiency heating instruction, it controls the motor oil pump to enter the first state of the oil pump, increases the rotational speed output, and the rotational speed of the motor oil pump is between 2500 - 3500 rpm;

[0056] Input the ambient temperature information, the motor controller controls the quadrature axis current of the motor to be 0, and controls the corresponding direct axis current output according to the ambient temperature information;

[0057] According to the parking heating start rule, the electric drive system enters the parking heating mode, including parking heating mode one and parking heating mode two, and the heating power of different parking heating modes is different. The parking heating start rule is: when the motor controller receives the parking low-efficiency heating instruction, and judges that the motor speed does not exceed the preset parking heating speed threshold, and the power device is in the on state, then enter the corresponding parking heating mode according to the ambient temperature information.

[0058] Specifically, according to different ambient temperature information, when the ambient temperature information is in the low range, for example, in the range of (-20°C, -10°C), the motor controller only outputs the direct axis voltage U d1 when generating waves, and does not output the quadrature axis voltage U q , only the excitation current I is generated inside the motor d1 , and the torque current I is not generated q , making the motor in a stationary state. According to the mathematical model (formula one) of the traditional permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), no torque is output. At this time, the parking heating power P11 is output, and enter parking heating mode one. When the ambient temperature information is in the high range, for example, in the range of (-10°C, 10°C), the motor controller only outputs Ud2 when generating waves, does not output Uq, only the excitation current Id2 is generated inside the motor, and the torque current Iq is not generated. At this time, the parking heating power P12 is output, and enter parking heating mode two. The parking heating power P12 is less than the parking heating power P11.

[0059] Formula one:

[0060]

[0061] In Equation (1), u d and u q are the voltages on the d-axis and q-axis respectively, i d , i q are the currents on the d-axis and q-axis respectively, R s is the stator resistance, L d , L q are the inductances on the d-axis and q-axis respectively, ω is the electrical angular velocity of the motor, ψ is the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet, T e is the electromagnetic torque, and P is the number of pole pairs of the motor.

[0062] Furthermore, for the electric drive system of the oil-cooled motor, after entering Parking Heating Mode 1, the motor controller controls the electric oil pump to operate at a speed of n1, and after entering Parking Heating Mode 2, the motor controller controls the electric oil pump to operate at a speed of n2, and n1 > n2.

[0063] The following specifically describes the electric drive low-efficiency heating method when the vehicle is in the driving state. When it is determined that the vehicle is in the driving state:

[0064] Send a driving low-efficiency heating command to the motor controller, and at the same time increase the vehicle water flow duty ratio to the preset driving water flow duty ratio;

[0065] The calculation method of the preset driving water flow duty ratio is as follows: when the vehicle speed is within the preset low-speed period (e.g., the vehicle speed is less than 50 km / h), D_driving = k2 * ΔT + b2 + α * v; when the vehicle speed is within the preset high-speed period (e.g., the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to 50 km / h), D_driving = min(Dmax, k3 * ln(ΔT) + b3); where D_driving is the preset driving water flow duty ratio, k2 and k3 are the sensitivity coefficients of ΔT to the water flow, ΔT is the difference between the ambient temperature information T env and the temperature T bat of the power battery, b2 and b3 are the basic duty ratios to ensure the minimum heat dissipation requirement, and α is the vehicle speed gain value;

[0066] After receiving the driving low-efficiency heating command from the vehicle controller, the motor controller controls the motor oil pump to enter the second state of the oil pump, specifically:

[0067] When T env ≤ 0°C, n_driving = n_base + β * (T mot - 60); when T envWhen the temperature is above 0°C, the rotational speed of the oil pump during driving \(n_{driving}=n_{base}(1 - \gamma\times v / 100)\); where \(n_{base}\) is the base rotational speed, which is 2800 rpm; \(\beta\) is the motor temperature gain value, preferably \(\beta = 20\) rpm / °C; \(\gamma\) is the attenuation coefficient of the vehicle speed on the rotational speed of the oil pump, representing the proportion by which the rotational speed of the oil pump decreases when the vehicle speed increases by 100 km / h, preferably \(\gamma = 0.3\); \(v\) is the vehicle speed; \(T\) mot is the motor temperature information;

[0068] Input the ambient temperature information. The motor controller controls the reduction of the motor efficiency, and controls the output of the corresponding quadrature-axis current and direct-axis current according to the ambient temperature information and the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed is in the first speed range, the quadrature-axis to direct-axis current ratio is adjusted according to the ambient temperature. When the vehicle speed rises to the second speed range, the quadrature-axis to direct-axis current ratio is adjusted according to the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed further rises to the third range, the heating mode is exited; More specifically, the quadrature-axis to direct-axis current ratio should satisfy the following equivalent relationship:

[0069] When the vehicle speed is in the first speed range (such as less than 30 km / h), \(I_d / I_q = 1.2 + 0.05\times(T\) env + 20); When the vehicle speed is in the second speed range (such as between 30 - 80 km / h), \(I_d / I_q = 0.8 - 0.03\times v\); When the vehicle speed is in the third speed range (such as greater than 80 km / h), the heating mode is directly exited; where \(I_d\) is the direct-axis current, \(I_q\) is the quadrature-axis current, and \(T\) env is the ambient temperature;

[0070] According to the driving heating start rule, the electric drive system enters the driving heating mode, including driving heating mode one and driving heating mode two, and there are differences in the heating power of different driving heating modes. The driving heating start rule is: The motor controller receives the driving low-efficiency heating instruction, and judges that the motor speed is in the preset driving heating speed range, and the power device is in the on state, and enters the corresponding driving heating mode according to the ambient temperature information. Similar to the parking heating start rule, according to the ambient temperature information, it enters driving heating mode one or driving heating mode two. When the ambient temperature information is in the low range, it enters driving heating mode one and outputs the driving heating power \(P_{21}\); When the ambient temperature information is in the high range, it enters driving heating mode two and outputs the driving heating power \(P_{22}\) which is less than the driving heating power \(P_{21}\).

[0071] Furthermore, in the driving heating mode, the control loop of the normal operation mode can be reused, and the current output is controlled through the driving heating look-up table data. Only the look-up table (LUT) data needs to be replaced with the driving heating look-up table data, without additional hardware, and it can be flexibly controlled.

[0072] Whether the vehicle is in the parking state or the driving state, after the electric drive system enters the parking heating mode or the driving heating mode, heat is transferred to the battery pack through the lubricating oil and the coolant, playing a role in heating the battery pack. Specifically, the heat includes heat losses, such as the heat loss of the motor controller and the heat loss of the motor.

[0073] This embodiment may further include the judgment of the heating mode exit condition, that is: when it is recognized that the motor temperature and the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) junction temperature exceed the preset exit threshold, an exit heating instruction is sent to the vehicle controller to exit the heating mode.

[0074] This embodiment utilizes the heat generated by the component losses of the electric drive assembly, transfers the heat through the cooling system to supply heat for the power battery to heat, and controls the drive motor to operate in a low-efficiency range to increase the heating power. The purpose is to take into account the function implementation environment temperature, the cooling system intervenes to maximize the heating power, and at the same time there is no modification to the vehicle power system circuit, while having high thermal stability of the vehicle and enabling the power battery to meet the temperature rise requirements in the shortest time.

[0075] The present invention grades the heating mode according to the ambient temperature. While ensuring the thermal balance and thermal safety of the vehicle, it achieves the power battery temperature rise target at a faster rate, and at the same time reduces the energy consumption in the low-efficiency mode to the greatest extent, increasing the vehicle's endurance. There is no need to modify the vehicle's high-voltage circuit, nor does it affect the vehicle control module. There is no need for peripheral components such as heating films, and it realizes the power battery temperature rise requirement in a low-temperature environment with high cost performance, reducing the vehicle cost.

[0076] This embodiment effectively avoids heating mis-triggering by adding multi-parameter coupling to judge the heating conditions, considering factors including ambient temperature, battery pack temperature, SOC, and temperature difference duration, and comprehensively considering the temperature difference between the battery pack's own temperature and the ambient temperature. In addition, this embodiment also greatly improves the control accuracy through a special vehicle water flow duty ratio calculation formula and an oil pump speed calculation function, through dynamic coupling logic. Finally, in the driving state, this embodiment also dynamically correlates the vehicle speed and the current ratio to solve the risk of motor demagnetization and thermal runaway that may occur in the continuous low-efficiency heating under high-speed conditions, which is not involved in the speed adaptability control in the prior art.
