[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0041] In the prior art, the design is mainly optimized from the perspective of the drive system architecture, reducing the gearbox to save the space occupied by the hybrid drive system, improving the coordination efficiency of the engine and the motor, and optimizing the layout of the drive motor, generator and transmission system to solve the problem of low transmission efficiency in the vehicle's hybrid mode, or solving the problem of low driving efficiency in the motor-assisted drive mode from the perspective of control methods; the vehicle drive system does not take into account the drive source efficiency and gear system efficiency under different temperature fields, and is unable to reduce the impact of temperature on the drive system efficiency, so the drive system efficiency cannot reach the optimal value.

[0042] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a thermal management method for a drive system, which can comprehensively consider the driving source efficiency and gear system efficiency of the drive system under the current temperature field, and adjust the cooling flow of the cooling system so that the temperature field is in the optimal efficiency range, thereby reducing the impact of temperature on the efficiency of the drive system and ensuring that the efficiency of the drive system is always at the optimal value.

[0043] Reference below Figure 1 A drive system thermal management method according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described. Figure 1 As shown, the method at least includes steps S1 to S3.

[0044] Step S1, obtaining the actual efficiency of the drive system in the current operation mode.

[0045] Specifically, when the vehicle is driving, the vehicle drive system is responsible for converting the electrical energy stored in the battery pack into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. The efficiency of the drive system is different in different operating modes. Therefore, after determining the operating mode, the actual efficiency of the drive system in the current operating mode is obtained. To ensure the accuracy of the actual efficiency obtained, it is necessary to ensure that the test equipment is accurate and select appropriate test methods for testing.

[0046] Step S2, obtaining the optimal efficiency of the drive system under the current temperature field.

[0047] The optimal efficiency is obtained according to the combined efficiency of multiple target components of the drive system under the current temperature field, and the multiple target components may include the same components or different components. For example, in some embodiments, the target components may be various drive sources of the drive system, such as motors, generators, etc., and may also include gear trains such as transmissions and clutches. For example, the combined efficiency includes an efficiency combination of the drive source efficiency and the gear train efficiency.

[0048] Specifically, temperature is one of the important factors affecting the efficiency of electric drive. The increase in temperature will lead to an increase in the coil resistance of the motor, an increase in dynamic friction, an increase in the magnetic resistance of the core, and a decrease in the cooling effect, all of which will reduce the efficiency of the electric drive. When obtaining the efficiency of the drive system, the influence of temperature must be considered. In order to obtain the optimal efficiency of the drive system under the current temperature field, it is first necessary to accurately monitor the changes in the temperature field. The current temperature can be obtained by arranging temperature sensors in the drive system. At the same time, the temperature field simulation technology can be used to predict and analyze the temperature distribution of the drive system.

[0049] The drive source efficiency usually refers to the efficiency of the motor (electric motor), which is the ratio of the motor to convert the input electrical energy into the output mechanical energy. The drive source efficiency value is affected by many factors, including the motor design, materials, operating temperature and control strategy. The gear train efficiency refers to the efficiency of the gear reduction device (transmission mechanism) in the drive system. The gear train efficiency value reflects the energy loss of the gear reduction device in the process of transmitting torque and speed.

[0050] When obtaining the optimal efficiency, the current drive source efficiency and gear system efficiency can be obtained by real-time monitoring of the working conditions of the motor and gear reduction device (such as temperature, speed, torque, etc.). By analyzing and processing the real-time monitored data, the optimal efficiency of the drive system under the current temperature field can be obtained.

[0051] Step S3, controlling the cooling flow of the cooling system of the drive system according to the optimal efficiency and the actual efficiency.

[0052] Specifically, controlling the cooling flow of the cooling system of the drive system according to the optimal efficiency and actual efficiency is a key measure to ensure the stable operation of the drive system under various working conditions and improve the efficiency. After obtaining the optimal efficiency based on the driving source efficiency and gear system efficiency of the drive system under the current temperature field, the actual efficiency and optimal efficiency of the drive system under the current operating mode are calculated and analyzed to obtain the cooling flow required for the drive system at the optimal efficiency, thereby controlling the cooling flow of the cooling system so that the actual efficiency of the drive system gradually approaches the optimal efficiency, ensuring that the drive system can maintain efficient and stable operation under various working conditions.

[0053] According to the thermal management method of the drive system of an embodiment of the present invention, when the drive system is working, the actual efficiency of the drive system is obtained in real time. At the same time, the combined efficiency of multiple target components of the drive system under the current temperature field is comprehensively considered, such as the combination of the drive source efficiency and the gear train efficiency, so as to obtain the optimal efficiency under the current temperature field. The cooling flow of the cooling system is adjusted according to the optimal efficiency and the actual efficiency, so that the temperature field is in the optimal efficiency range, the influence of temperature on the efficiency of the drive system is reduced, and the efficiency of the drive system is always at the optimal value.

[0054] In some embodiments, the optimal efficiency is the maximum efficiency value among multiple combined efficiencies under the current temperature field; the target component includes a drive source and / or a gear train. The combined efficiency is obtained according to the drive source efficiency corresponding to the target drive source temperature in the target temperature combination and / or the gear train efficiency corresponding to the target oil temperature in the target temperature combination.

[0055] Specifically, considering multiple combined efficiencies under the current temperature field, the maximum efficiency value among the multiple combined efficiencies is determined as the optimal efficiency. The target component of the drive system can be a drive source, the target component of the drive system can also be a gear train, or the target component of the drive system can also be a combination of a drive source and a gear train. Since the hybrid vehicle power system includes a drive system and an engine, the target temperature combination can be determined according to the currently detected temperature of the drive source (motor temperature and / or generator temperature) and the oil temperature, and the temperature combination is a combination of the drive source temperature and the oil temperature. For example, the motor temperature is 70 degrees and the oil temperature is 50 degrees; the target temperature combination can also be a motor temperature of 60 and an oil temperature of 40 degrees, or a motor temperature of 80 and an oil temperature of 60 degrees, or an oil temperature of 70 and a motor temperature of 60 degrees, or an oil temperature of 70 and a motor temperature of 60 degrees, or an oil temperature of 70 and a motor temperature of 50 degrees, etc. The efficiency is optimal when the motor temperature is around 70 degrees and the oil temperature is around 50 degrees. The target temperature combination is a combination of two temperatures near the currently detected drive source temperature and the oil temperature, but it should be noted that the motor temperature must be higher than the oil temperature because the motor is to be cooled by the oil temperature.

[0056] When the target component of the drive system is a combination of a drive source and a gear train, the combined efficiency is obtained according to the drive source efficiency corresponding to the drive source temperature and the gear train efficiency corresponding to the target oil temperature in the target temperature combination. Different temperature combinations correspond to different efficiency values. The maximum efficiency value is selected from multiple temperature combination efficiencies as the optimal efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the target temperature combination is a combination of a target drive source temperature and / or a target oil temperature, wherein the target drive source temperature is determined based on a current detected temperature of the drive source, and the target oil temperature is determined based on a current detected oil temperature.

[0058] Specifically, the target component can be a driving source, the target component can also be a gear train, or the target component can also be a combination of a driving source and a gear train. Accordingly, the target temperature combination can be a target driving source temperature, or a target temperature combination can be a combination of oil temperatures, or a target temperature combination can be a combination of a target driving source temperature and a target oil temperature; a target temperature combination is selected from multiple temperature combinations, and the selected target temperature combination is the temperature combination closest to the maximum efficiency value among multiple combination efficiencies; a sensor is used to monitor the current temperature of the driving source in real time, and the target driving source temperature is determined based on the monitored current temperature. Similarly, a sensor is used to monitor the current temperature of the oil in real time, and the target oil temperature is determined based on the monitored current temperature.

[0059] In some embodiments, the target drive source temperature includes a drive source temperature whose temperature difference from the current detected temperature of the drive source is less than a first temperature value, and the target oil temperature includes an oil temperature whose temperature difference from the current oil detected temperature is less than a second temperature value.

[0060] Specifically, assuming that the motor temperature is around 70 degrees and the oil temperature is around 50 degrees, the drive system is at optimal efficiency. Therefore, the target drive source temperature and the target oil temperature in the target temperature combination should not deviate too much from the corresponding temperature values. The temperature difference of the current detected temperature of the drive source is less than the drive source temperature of the first temperature value. The first temperature value can be understood as the temperature value that deviates from the target drive source temperature. The temperature difference of the current oil detection temperature is less than the oil temperature of the second temperature value. The second temperature value can be understood as the temperature value that deviates from the target oil temperature. For example, the first temperature value and the second temperature value can be 5 degrees, or 10 degrees, so that the target drive source temperature is around 70 degrees and the target oil temperature is around 50 degrees.

[0061] In some embodiments, the driving source efficiency corresponding to the target driving source temperature is determined by searching a driving source efficiency Map according to the target driving source temperature.

[0062] Specifically, the drive source efficiency map is an efficiency distribution diagram of the drive source at a given speed and torque, which is used to intuitively display the efficiency performance of the drive source under different conditions. The drive source efficiency map is similar to a geographical contour map, which shows the efficiency of the drive source under different operating temperatures and load conditions. The drive source efficiency map is drawn based on experimental data or simulation results. When determining the drive source efficiency corresponding to the target drive source temperature, a sensor is used to monitor the current temperature of the drive source in real time. After that, in the drive source efficiency map of the drive source operable temperature domain, the area or point corresponding to the target drive source temperature is found, and the efficiency value corresponding to the location is read.

[0063] In some embodiments, the gear train efficiency corresponding to the target oil temperature is determined by searching a gear train efficiency map according to the target oil temperature.

[0064] Specifically, when determining the gear train efficiency corresponding to the target oil temperature, use a sensor to monitor the oil temperature in real time, find the area or point corresponding to the target oil temperature in the gear train efficiency map in the gear train's operating temperature domain, and find the position corresponding to the target oil temperature in the map, and then read the gear train efficiency value corresponding to that position.

[0065] In some embodiments, the actual efficiency is obtained based on the actual efficiency of the driving source of the driving system and / or the actual efficiency of the gear train; the actual efficiency of the driving source is determined based on the current detected temperature of the driving source under the current operating mode of the vehicle, and the actual efficiency of the gear train is determined based on the current oil detected temperature of the cooling system in the driving system.

[0066] Specifically, the actual efficiency is the overall performance of the drive system under the current operating state, which reflects the efficiency of the system's energy conversion and transmission. The actual efficiency can be obtained based on the actual efficiency of the drive source and / or the actual efficiency of the gear system of the drive system. If the drive system only includes the drive source, the actual efficiency is equal to the actual efficiency of the drive source. If the drive system only includes the gear system, the actual efficiency is equal to the actual efficiency of the gear system. If the drive system includes the drive source and the gear system, the actual efficiency is obtained based on the actual efficiency of the drive source and the actual efficiency of the gear system. For multiple efficiencies on the same power transmission path, the calculated efficiency can be the product of multiple efficiencies, actual efficiency = actual efficiency of the drive source * actual efficiency of the gear system. However, the efficiency belonging to different power transmission paths cannot be simply calculated by multiplication. The current operating mode of the vehicle refers to the current driving state of the vehicle. Different operating modes will produce different load and temperature requirements for the drive source. The current temperature of the drive source is monitored in real time using a sensor, and the actual efficiency of the drive source is determined based on the current operating mode and the current detection temperature; the current temperature of the oil in the cooling system is monitored in real time using a sensor, and the actual efficiency of the gear system is determined based on the current oil detection temperature.

[0067] In some embodiments, the actual efficiency of the driving source is determined by searching a driving source efficiency map according to the current detected temperature of the driving source.

[0068] Specifically, the current detected temperature is the actual working temperature of the driving source monitored in real time by the sensor. The working efficiency of the driving source is closely related to its working temperature. Within an appropriate temperature range, the driving source can maintain a high efficiency; at too high or too low a temperature, the driving source may decline; according to the currently detected driving source temperature, the corresponding area or point is found in the driving source efficiency map, and the position corresponding to the current temperature is found in the driving source efficiency map, and the efficiency value corresponding to the position can be read. This efficiency value represents the actual driving source efficiency under the current temperature conditions.

[0069] In some embodiments, the actual efficiency of the gear train is determined by looking up a gear train efficiency map according to the current detected oil temperature.

[0070] Specifically, the current oil detection temperature refers to the actual temperature of the oil monitored in real time by a sensor. Based on the currently detected oil temperature, the corresponding area or point is found in the gear train efficiency map. Once the position corresponding to the current oil temperature is found in the gear train efficiency map, the efficiency value corresponding to the position can be read. This efficiency value represents the actual gear train efficiency under the current oil temperature conditions.

[0071] In some embodiments, the current operating mode is a first operating mode, in which the driving source includes a motor; when the actual efficiency is less than the optimal efficiency, the cooling flow of the first cooling pump is controlled until the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, wherein the first cooling pump is used to cool the motor; or, when the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, the current state of the cooling system is maintained.

[0072] Specifically, the power system of a hybrid vehicle includes a drive system and an engine, and the power transmission path is as follows: engine-drive system-wheel end; the first operating mode is the EV (Electric Vehicle) mode. When the current operating mode is the first operating mode, the engine and the generator do not work, and only the motor works. Therefore, the drive source efficiency is only the efficiency of the motor, and the energy transmission path is: motor-transmission (secondary reduction)-half-axle-wheel end; in a hybrid vehicle, for multiple efficiencies on the same power transmission path, the calculated efficiency can be the product of multiple efficiencies (for example, motor efficiency and gear system efficiency in EV mode), but the efficiencies belonging to different power transmission paths cannot simply be calculated by multiplication.

[0073] In the first operating mode, the motor is working, and the engine and generator are not working. In an embodiment, the first cooling pump may include but is not limited to an electronic oil pump. In this first operating mode, the actual efficiency is calculated in real time, and at the same time, the optimal efficiency value is obtained. If the actual efficiency is lower than the optimal efficiency, the speed of the electronic oil pump in the cooling system is adjusted. The purpose of adjusting the speed of the electronic oil pump is to change the flow rate of the oil and the temperature of the motor to improve the actual efficiency. The controller will continue to adjust the speed of the electronic oil pump until the actual efficiency reaches or exceeds the optimal efficiency; if it is detected that the actual efficiency has reached or exceeded the optimal efficiency, the current state of the cooling system is kept unchanged, and the speed of the electronic oil pump is kept at a stable level. The speed of the electronic oil pump in the cooling system needs to be able to respond quickly to changes in the actual efficiency and adjust the speed in time.

[0074] In some embodiments, the driving source is a plurality of motors, and a first cooling pump is used for cooling the plurality of motors; when the actual efficiency is less than the optimal efficiency, the cooling flow of the first cooling pump is controlled until the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, wherein the first cooling pump is used for cooling at least one of the motors; or, when the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, the current state of the cooling system is maintained.

[0075] Specifically, the driving source can be multiple motors, and the first cooling pump cools at least one motor. In the first operating mode, the actual efficiency is calculated in real time, and the optimal efficiency value is obtained. If the actual efficiency is lower than the optimal efficiency, the speed of the cooling pump in the cooling system is adjusted. The purpose of adjusting the speed of the cooling pump is to change the flow rate of the oil and the temperature of the motor to improve the actual efficiency. The controller will continue to adjust the speed of the cooling pump until the actual efficiency reaches or exceeds the optimal efficiency. If it is detected that the actual efficiency has reached or exceeded the optimal efficiency, the current state of the cooling system is kept unchanged, and the speed of the cooling pump is maintained at a stable level to ensure that the first cooling pump cools multiple motors.

[0076] Reference below Figure 2 The control steps of the driving system in the first operation mode are described by way of example, and the specific contents are as follows: Step S4, first operating mode.

[0084] Step S12, adjusting the speed of the electronic oil pump to change the cooling flow rate.

[0085] Step S13: The assembly operates in the optimal efficiency temperature field.

[0086] Step S14, end.

[0087] For example, Figure 2As shown, the control logic of optimal control of the drive system efficiency in the first operating mode is: the motor temperature sensor detects the motor temperature A / the oil temperature sensor detects the oil temperature B, retrieves the motor efficiency Map of the full temperature domain / retrieves the gear train efficiency Map of the full temperature domain, and calculates the drive system efficiency C; retrieves the motor efficiency Map of the full temperature domain / retrieves the gear train efficiency Map of the full temperature domain, calculates the optimal efficiency D of the drive system, and determines the relationship between C and D. If C<D, adjust the speed of the electronic oil pump, change the cooling flow, and then return to detect the motor temperature A and the oil temperature B, recalculate the system efficiency C, and determine the relationship with D. It iterates in this way until C≥D, and the assembly operates in the optimal efficiency temperature field.

[0088] In some embodiments, the current operating mode is the second operating mode. In the second operating mode, the driving source includes a motor and a generator, and the driving source efficiency includes the efficiency of the motor and the efficiency of the generator; the second operating mode includes the participation of multiple power sources, for example, the motor works, the engine and the generator work in series; or, the motor and the engine work in parallel, and the generator works at the right time.

[0089] Specifically, when the current operation mode is the second operation mode, the driving source includes a motor and a generator, and the generator and the motor work together; for example, the energy transmission path can be: engine working-driving the generator to rotate and generate electricity-battery+motor, motor working-transmission (secondary reduction)-semi-axle-wheel end. Alternatively, the energy transmission path can be: clutch engagement, engine working-clutch engagement-gear set-wheel end; motor working-transmission (secondary reduction)-semi-axle-wheel end.

[0090] In some embodiments, the cooling flow of a cooling system of a drive system is controlled according to the optimal efficiency and the actual efficiency, including: in a second operating mode, the drive source may include a motor and a generator; when the actual efficiency is less than the optimal efficiency, the total cooling flow of the cooling system is controlled according to the cooling demand flow of the drive system and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump, the second cooling pump is used for cooling the motor and the generator, and when the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, the current state of the cooling system is maintained.

[0091] Specifically, in the second operating mode, the driving source may include a motor and a generator, and the second cooling pump may include but is not limited to a mechanical pump, which is used for cooling and driving the motor and the generator; the actual efficiency is calculated in real time, and at the same time, the optimal efficiency value is obtained, and the actual efficiency is compared with the optimal efficiency value; when the actual efficiency is less than the optimal efficiency, the cooling demand flow required for the drive system is calculated according to the deviation between the actual efficiency and the optimal efficiency, and the cooling flow of the mechanical pump is determined by taking into account the cooling demand of the mechanical pump itself and its cooling demand for the drive system, and the total cooling flow of the cooling system is adjusted according to the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the mechanical pump to ensure that the drive system can operate under the state of optimal efficiency; when the actual efficiency is equal to or greater than the optimal efficiency, there is no need to further adjust the state of the cooling system, and the current cooling flow is maintained to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0092] In some embodiments, the drive system thermal management method also includes obtaining the cooling demand flow of the drive system and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump of the cooling system, and then the total cooling flow of the cooling system can be controlled based on the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump of the drive system as described above.

[0093] In some embodiments, the total cooling flow of the cooling system is controlled according to the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump, including: when the cooling demand flow is less than or equal to the cooling flow of the second cooling pump, the total cooling flow of the cooling system is the cooling flow of the second cooling pump.

[0094] Specifically, the cooling demand flow is determined based on the current working state of the drive system (including the motor and the generator). The second cooling pump, such as a mechanical pump, is a component in the cooling system for providing coolant circulation. The cooling flow is controlled by the mechanical pump. When the cooling demand flow is less than or equal to the mechanical pump cooling flow, the mechanical pump is fully capable of meeting the cooling needs of the drive system. Therefore, the total cooling flow of the cooling system will be set to the cooling flow of the mechanical pump.

[0095] In some embodiments, the total cooling flow of the cooling system is controlled according to the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump, including: when the cooling demand flow is greater than the cooling flow of the second cooling pump, the total cooling flow is the cooling flow of the second cooling pump and the cooling flow of the first cooling pump of the cooling system, and the cooling flow of the first cooling pump is adjusted by controlling the speed of the first cooling pump according to the flow difference between the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump.

[0096] For example, specifically, under working conditions, the cooling demand of the drive system may exceed the maximum cooling flow that the mechanical pump can provide, so the first cooling pump is introduced. When the cooling flow of the second cooling pump is insufficient to meet the demand, the first cooling pump can be activated and used to provide additional coolant flow. The speed of the first cooling pump is controlled according to the flow difference between the cooling demand flow and the cooling flow of the second cooling pump. The additional cooling flow is obtained by calculation, and then the speed of the first cooling pump is adjusted according to the calculation result to provide the required additional coolant flow. The total cooling flow of the cooling system is the sum of the cooling flow of the second cooling pump and the cooling flow of the first cooling pump. The second cooling pump and the first cooling pump work together to meet the cooling demand of the drive system.

[0097] Reference below Figure 3 The control steps of the driving system in the second operation mode are described by way of example, and the specific contents are as follows: Step S15, second operation mode.

[0098] Step S16, calculating the mechanical pump cooling flow G according to the engine speed and pressure.

[0099] Step S17: the motor temperature sensor detects the motor A.

[0100] Step S18: The engine temperature sensor detects the engine temperature B.

[0101] Step S19, the oil temperature sensor monitors the oil temperature C.

[0102] Step S20, retrieve the full temperature range driving / generating motor efficiency Map.

[0103] Step S21, retrieve the full temperature range gear train efficiency Map.

[0104] Step S22, calculating the system efficiency D.

[0105] Step S23, calculating the optimal efficiency E of the system.

[0106] Step S24, determine the relationship between D and E, if D<E, execute step S25, if D≥E, execute step S26.

[0107] Step S25, calculating the cooling demand flow rate F.

[0108] Step S26: The assembly operates in the optimal efficiency temperature field.

[0109] Step S27, determine the relationship between flow rate H and D, H=FG, if H≤D, execute step S28, if H>D, execute step S29.

[0110] Step S28, output according to the flow rate of the mechanical pump.

[0111] Step S29, based on the flow output of the mechanical pump and according to the flow H requirement, adjust the speed of the electronic oil pump.

[0112] Step S30, end.

[0113] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the optimal control logic of the drive system efficiency in the second operation mode is as follows: the motor temperature sensor detects the motor temperature A / the generator temperature sensor detects the generator temperature B / the oil temperature sensor detects the oil temperature C, retrieves the full temperature domain motor efficiency Map / retrieves the full temperature domain gear system efficiency Map, and calculates the drive system efficiency D; retrieves the full temperature domain motor efficiency Map / retrieves the full temperature domain gear system efficiency Map, and calculates the drive system optimal efficiency E. Determine the relationship between D and E. If D < E, calculate the cooling demand flow F, calculate the mechanical pump cooling flow G according to the engine speed and pressure, calculate and determine the H value, H = FG: If H ≤ 0, return to detect A / B / C according to the mechanical pump flow output, recalculate D, and determine the relationship between D and E, and repeat this cycle; If H > 0, based on the mechanical pump flow output, adjust the speed of the electronic oil pump according to the flow H demand, and return to detect A / B / C again, recalculate D, and determine the relationship between D and E, and repeat this cycle; When D ≥ E, the assembly works in the optimal efficiency temperature field.
