Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a braking energy recovery control method for a dual electric drive bridge, belonging to the technical field of electric vehicle control. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing global awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction, pure electric or hybrid vehicles have been widely promoted and used in the market due to their environmental protection and energy-saving characteristics. During the braking process, these new energy vehicles can effectively convert the kinetic energy generated by the vehicle during braking into electrical energy and store it in the vehicle's power battery through advanced motor energy recovery technology. This technology not only significantly increases the vehicle's cruising range, but also effectively improves the market competitiveness of the product. At present, new energy vehicles on the market generally use advanced anti-lock braking systems ABS, which can quickly adjust the braking force of the wheels in emergency braking situations to prevent wheel locking, thereby improving the braking stability and safety of the vehicle.

[0003] Although existing new energy vehicles are generally equipped with ABS systems, there are still obvious deficiencies in brake energy recovery. Traditional ABS system pedals mostly adopt a switch quantity design, that is, there are only two states: on and off. This design makes it impossible for the system to accurately sense the depth of the brake pedal, and thus cannot perform detailed energy recovery calculations based on changes in braking intensity. This limitation leads to low efficiency in brake energy recovery and inability to fully utilize the kinetic energy generated by the vehicle during braking. Therefore, how to overcome the deficiencies of existing ABS systems in brake energy recovery and achieve more accurate and efficient energy recovery has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the current development of new energy vehicle technology. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a braking energy recovery control method for a dual electric drive axle, comprising:

[0007] Use the vehicle controller to obtain real-time braking data when the brake pedal moves;

[0008] The braking data includes brake pedal opening, load and vehicle speed;

[0019] In the formula, Indicates the vehicle braking force, Indicates the rear axle braking force;

[0020] When the vehicle's braking mode is medium braking, the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force act together on the vehicle's braking force;

[0021] Wherein, the whole vehicle braking force is expressed as:

[0022] ;

[0023] In the formula, Indicates the front axle braking force;

[0024] When the vehicle's braking mode is emergency braking, the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force act together on the vehicle's braking force;

[0025] Wherein, the whole vehicle braking force is expressed as:

[0026] .

[0027] Furthermore, the front and rear axle braking force distribution system is used to calculate the required total braking force according to the braking data, and the braking force coefficients are distributed to the front axle and the rear axle to obtain the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force. The distribution coefficient is expressed as:

[0028] ;

[0029] In the formula, represents the distribution coefficient, represents the braking force coefficient, represents the correction factor, Indicates the front axle braking force, Indicates the rear axle braking force.

[0030] Furthermore, before converting the regenerative braking force into direct current through the power converter, the vehicle controller performs a pre-check, including:

[0032] Furthermore, when the vehicle's braking mode is slow braking, if the vehicle enters the upper high-pressure state, the current gear is the forward gear, the brake pedal opening is less than 30%, the motor speed is working normally, and the battery power SOC is less than 95%, the brake execution system enters the motor braking energy recovery mode and requests to collect the motor's recovery braking force;

[0042] The brake execution system collects wheel speed signals in real time to determine whether the vehicle's anti-lock brake execution system ABS is activated:

[0043] If ABS is activated, the brake execution system exits the motor brake energy recovery mode;

[0044] If ABS is not activated, the brake execution system continues to execute the motor braking energy recovery mode and uses the vehicle controller to calculate the recovery torque allowed by the power battery.

[0045] Furthermore, when the vehicle's braking mode is emergency braking, if the entire vehicle enters the upper high-pressure state, the current gear is the forward gear, the brake pedal opening is greater than 80%, the motor speed is working normally, and the battery power SOC is less than 95%, the brake execution system exits the motor braking energy recovery mode and distributes the front axle braking force and the rear axle mechanical braking force as the rear axle braking force.

[0046] Further, according to the different loads, the vehicle is adaptively adjusted to or The drive forms include:

[0047] When the load is within a preset threshold, the motor controller 1 exits the driving mode, the first electric drive axle is kept in an idling state, and the rear axle motor controller controls the rear axle motor and the rear axle gearbox to be engaged in a non-neutral gear to drive the vehicle;

[0049] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0050] 1. The present invention obtains the braking data when the brake pedal moves, including the brake pedal opening, load and vehicle speed, through the vehicle controller, and based on the braking data, calculates and dynamically distributes the braking force coefficients of the front and rear axles through the front and rear axle braking force distribution system, thereby realizing intelligent distribution of the braking force. The present invention innovatively utilizes the rear wheel brake distribution module to subdivide the rear axle braking force into mechanical braking force and recovery braking force according to the distribution coefficient, and efficiently converts the recovery braking force into direct current and charges it into the power battery by switching the rear axle motor controller to the power generation mode, which not only improves the recovery efficiency of the braking energy, but also can flexibly adjust the ratio of the mechanical braking force and the recovery braking force according to the actual braking demand, thereby maximizing the use of the kinetic energy generated by the vehicle during the braking process while ensuring braking safety, effectively extending the cruising range of new energy vehicles, and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the vehicle;

[0051] 2. The present invention divides the braking mode into three modes: slow braking, moderate braking and emergency braking by calculating the braking deceleration of the vehicle in real time. According to the braking intensity under different braking modes, the present invention can accurately distribute the braking force of the front axle and the rear axle, as well as the ratio of mechanical braking force to recovery braking force, which not only ensures the safety and stability of the braking process, but also maximizes the recovery efficiency of braking energy, effectively extending the cruising range of new energy vehicles;

[0052] 3. Before starting the braking energy recovery function, the present invention performs a strict pre-inspection through the vehicle controller, including confirming that the vehicle has entered a high-voltage state, the current gear position, the brake pedal opening, the motor speed, the battery power SOC, and the activation state of the anti-lock function of the brake execution system, which effectively avoids safety hazards caused by abnormal vehicle status and ensures the safety and reliability of the braking energy recovery process.

[0053] 4. The present invention can adaptively adjust the driving mode of the vehicle according to the load condition of the vehicle. When the load is light, the mid-bridge motor controller driving mode is exited and only the rear-bridge motor controller is used to drive the vehicle, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve energy recovery efficiency. When the load is heavy, the mid-bridge motor controller and the rear-bridge motor controller are used to drive the vehicle at the same time to ensure the driving performance and power output of the vehicle. The adaptive driving mode not only optimizes the energy recovery efficiency of the vehicle, but also improves the overall performance and driving experience of the vehicle.

[0057] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present invention and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other unless there is a conflict.

[0058] The term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment introduces a braking energy recovery control method for a dual electric drive axle, including:

[0061] Step 1: Use the vehicle controller to obtain real-time braking data when the brake pedal moves.

[0062] The present invention uses the vehicle controller as the central nervous system of the vehicle, which is responsible for collecting and processing data from various sensors. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the brake pedal position sensor will detect the pedal opening in real time, that is, the depth of the pedal. The pedal opening directly reflects the braking intensity expected by the driver.

[0063] In the present invention, the braking data includes brake pedal opening, load and vehicle speed.

[0064] At the same time, the vehicle load sensor and speed sensor provide information about the vehicle's current load and speed, respectively. The current load and speed information are the basis for the subsequent calculation of the total braking force and distributed braking force required, ensuring that the braking energy recovery process can be intelligently adjusted according to actual driving conditions and needs.

[0065] Step 2: Utilize the front and rear axle braking force distribution system to calculate the required total braking force according to the braking data, and distribute braking force coefficients to the front axle and the rear axle to obtain the front axle braking force and the rear axle braking force.

[0066] In the present invention, the rear axle includes a first electric drive axle and a second electric drive axle. Figure 1 The motor controller 1 shown is the motor controller of the first electric drive bridge. Figure 1 The motor controller 2 shown is a motor controller for the second electric drive bridge.

[0067] The present invention calculates the total braking force required by the vehicle based on the braking data, and reasonably distributes the braking force to the front axle and the rear axle according to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle and the braking stability requirements. The braking force distribution system is used to dynamically adjust the braking force coefficients of the front axle and the rear axle according to the vehicle's load, speed and brake pedal opening information to ensure stability and safety during braking. This step is the key balance point between braking energy recovery and braking safety. In particular, the braking force distribution system mentioned in the present invention refers to the electronic braking force distribution system EBS.

[0068] Step 3: Based on the distribution coefficient, the rear axle braking force is distributed into mechanical braking force and regenerative braking force using the rear wheel brake distribution module.

[0069] After determining the total braking force required by the rear axle, the present invention uses the rear wheel brake distribution module to divide the ratio of mechanical braking force and recovery braking force according to a preset distribution coefficient. Among them, the mechanical braking force is used to directly decelerate the vehicle, while the recovery braking force is converted into electrical energy and stored by the motor. This step realizes efficient recovery of braking energy and ensures that the braking energy is recovered to the maximum extent without sacrificing braking performance.

[0070] Step 4: Switch the motor controller 1 and the motor controller 2 to the power generation mode, convert the regenerative braking force into direct current through the power converter, charge the power battery and collect the regenerative braking force of the motor.

[0071] The present invention switches the motor controller 1 and the motor controller 2 to the power generation mode. In the power generation mode, the motor is no longer a power source, but becomes a generator. It converts the recovery braking force, that is, the kinetic energy of the vehicle, into electrical energy, and converts the electrical energy into direct current suitable for storage in the power battery through a power converter, such as a DC / DC converter or an inverter. This step realizes the conversion and storage of braking energy, which is the key to extending the vehicle's cruising range.

[0072] Step 5: Distribute the front axle braking force, mechanical braking force and motor recovery braking force to the brake execution system.

[0073] The present invention applies the calculated braking force including the front axle braking force, the rear axle mechanical braking force and the recovery braking force to the brake execution system. The brake execution system includes components such as hydraulic brakes and electronic brake calipers, and the brake execution system brakes the vehicle according to the received braking force command. By reasonably distributing and applying different types of braking force to the wheels, it is ensured that the vehicle can achieve smooth and efficient braking and energy recovery under the premise of ensuring safety.

[0074] In summary, each step mentioned in the present invention is closely connected and together constitutes a complete process of the electric drive axle braking energy recovery control method. This process not only improves the efficiency of braking energy recovery, but also ensures the safety and stability of the braking process.

[0148] Before starting the brake energy recovery function, the present invention performs a strict pre-inspection through the vehicle controller, including confirming that the vehicle has entered a high-voltage state, the current gear position, the brake pedal opening, the motor speed, the battery power SOC, and the activation state of the anti-lock function of the brake execution system, thereby effectively avoiding safety hazards caused by abnormal vehicle status and ensuring the safety and reliability of the brake energy recovery process.

[0149] The present invention can adaptively adjust the driving mode of the vehicle according to the load condition of the vehicle. When the load is light, the mid-bridge motor controller driving mode is exited and only the rear-bridge motor controller is used to drive the vehicle, so as to reduce energy consumption and improve energy recovery efficiency. When the load is heavy, the mid-bridge motor controller and the rear-bridge motor controller are used to drive the vehicle at the same time to ensure the driving performance and power output of the vehicle. The adaptive driving mode not only optimizes the energy recovery efficiency of the vehicle, but also improves the overall performance and driving experience of the vehicle.
