A method for displaying battery life information and related equipment Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of smart vehicles, and in particular to a method for displaying battery life information and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] With rapid economic development and increasing pressure on energy security, energy conservation, and environmental protection, electric vehicles are gradually being promoted and popularized. However, due to the limited range of electric vehicles, they often run out of power before reaching their destination, affecting the driver's experience and reducing travel efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, electric vehicles have various endurance modes, and drivers can extend the range of electric vehicles by turning on the endurance mode.

[0004] However, the driver can only roughly estimate the extended range after turning on the endurance mode, and cannot clearly determine whether it can support the electric vehicle to reach the destination.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides a method for displaying endurance information and related equipment, which are used to provide a basis for the driver to select the endurance mode to be activated, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can reach the destination.

[0007] The first aspect of the present application provides a method for displaying battery life information:

[0008] The first vehicle-mounted device obtains target information, the target information including a target gap and a range gain of at least one range mode, the target gap being a first distance minus a second distance, where the first distance is the distance between the vehicle and the destination, the second distance is the range of the vehicle, and the range gain indicates how much the target gap can be reduced by applying the range mode. The first vehicle-mounted device displays the target information.

[0009] In this application, the first vehicle-mounted device displays target information so that the driver can choose the endurance mode to be activated based on the target information, which can not only take into account the driver's personalized needs, but also ensure that the vehicle can reach the destination.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the first vehicle-mounted device further instructs the vehicle to apply a target cruising mode among at least one cruising mode in response to an operation instruction of the driver.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the at least one endurance mode includes one or more of a power energy efficiency mode, an air conditioning energy efficiency mode, a kinetic energy recovery mode, an energy-saving route mode, and an energy-saving vehicle speed mode.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the power energy efficiency mode is to change the driving mode of the vehicle's drive system, the air-conditioning energy efficiency mode is to reduce the cooling capacity of the vehicle's thermal management system, the kinetic energy recovery mode is to convert the vehicle's mechanical energy into the vehicle's electrical energy, the energy-saving route mode is to switch the vehicle's route to the destination to an energy-saving route, and the energy-saving speed mode is to reduce the vehicle's speed.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the first vehicle-mounted device further updates the target gap according to the endurance gain of the target endurance mode.

[0014] In the present application, when the vehicle applies the endurance mode, the first vehicle-mounted device updates the target gap in real time, so that the driver can intuitively perceive the change in the target gap.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the first vehicle-mounted device further obtains the first distance and the second distance. If the first vehicle-mounted device determines that the first distance is greater than the second distance, the first vehicle-mounted device obtains the target information.

[0016] In the present application, the first vehicle-mounted device only obtains target information if the first distance is greater than the second distance, thereby avoiding unnecessary overhead.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the target information further includes impact information of at least one endurance mode, where the impact information is used to indicate the impact produced after the vehicle applies the endurance mode.

[0018] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for displaying battery life information:

The target gap is a first distance minus a second distance, where the first distance is the distance between the vehicle and the destination, and the second distance is the range of the vehicle. The range gain indicates how much the target gap can be reduced by applying the range mode. The second vehicle-mounted device sends the target information to the first vehicle-mounted device, causing the first vehicle-mounted device to display the target information.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the at least one endurance mode includes one or more of a power energy efficiency mode, an air conditioning energy efficiency mode, a kinetic energy recovery mode, an energy-saving route mode, and an energy-saving vehicle speed mode.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the processing unit is further configured to obtain the first distance and the second distance. The processing unit is specifically configured to obtain target information if it is determined that the first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0030] In a possible implementation, the target information further includes impact information of at least one endurance mode, where the impact information is used to indicate the impact produced after the vehicle applies the endurance mode.

[0049] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0050] The terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and in the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, e.g., a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0051] With the continuous development and popularization of electric vehicles, their shortcomings are also becoming increasingly apparent. Unlike traditional fuel-powered vehicles, electric vehicles cannot quickly replenish their range by refueling; instead, they can only gradually replenish their range over a long charging process. Therefore, when driving an electric vehicle, drivers must pay special attention to the vehicle's range to avoid running out of power mid-trip, which can cause psychological anxiety for the driver.

[0052] Some current electric vehicles can calculate the range of the electric vehicle based on road conditions after the driver selects a route. Electric vehicles also have various range modes, and when the driver activates the range mode, the range of the electric vehicle can be extended to a certain extent. In a typical scenario, a driver needs to travel from point A to point B. The original route between points A and B is 200 kilometers long, and the electric vehicle calculates that the range along the original route is only 190 kilometers. In this case, the driver can choose to charge the vehicle along the way, but the long charging process will seriously affect the efficiency of the trip. Alternatively, the driver can choose to activate the range mode, which can extend the range of the electric vehicle by reducing the cooling capacity of the electric vehicle or reducing the driving speed. However, the driver cannot accurately calculate the range that can be extended by activating the range mode, which cannot alleviate the driver's psychological anxiety and may even disrupt the driver's travel plans.

[0053] The present application provides a method for displaying endurance information and related equipment, which are used to provide a basis for the driver to select the endurance mode to be activated, thereby ensuring that the vehicle can reach the destination.

[0054] The present application can be applied to the vehicle architecture shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the vehicle in the present application is an electric vehicle, including an intelligent cockpit, a thermal management system, a drive system, an intelligent driving system and a vehicle controller.

[0055] Among them, the smart cockpit is a device designed to integrate multiple Internet technologies and artificial intelligence technologies to create a new integrated digital platform in the car, provide drivers with an intelligent experience, and promote driving safety. The smart cockpit also has a display screen, which is the core component for interaction between the vehicle and the driver.

[0056] The vehicle controller is the central control unit of the vehicle, equivalent to the brain of the vehicle. It is used to ensure that the vehicle can operate normally and stably with good power, high economy and reliability. It can communicate with the smart cockpit, thermal management system, drive system and intelligent driving system.

[0057] The thermal management system is used to regulate the temperature throughout the vehicle to provide the driver with a cool driving experience.

[0058] The drive system mainly includes a traction motor, a motor controller, a mechanical transmission device and wheels. The energy storage power source of the drive system is a battery pack. The motor controller can receive signals from the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and control handle, and then control the rotation of the traction motor, and further drive the rotation of the wheels through the reducer, drive shaft, differential, and other mechanical transmission mechanisms. When the vehicle decelerates, the traction motor can also act as a generator to charge the battery pack based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

[0059] An intelligent driving system is a system that achieves unmanned driving through an on-board computer. The intelligent driving system relies on the collaboration of artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar, monitoring devices and global positioning systems to ensure the safe driving of the vehicle without a driver.

[0060] In the present application, the first vehicle-mounted device may be, for example, the smart cockpit shown in FIG. 1 , and the second vehicle-mounted device may be, for example, the vehicle controller shown in FIG. 1 .

[0061] Please refer to FIG2 . The following describes a process of the vehicle endurance method in this application, wherein the vehicle controller is described as an example of the second vehicle-mounted device:

[0062] 201. A first vehicle-mounted device obtains target information, the target information including a target gap and a cruising range gain of at least one cruising range mode, the target gap being a first distance minus a second distance, where the first distance is the distance between the vehicle and the destination, the second distance is the cruising range of the vehicle, and the cruising range gain indicating how much the target gap can be reduced by applying the cruising range mode;

[0063] After getting on the vehicle, the driver can set the destination in the smart cockpit and select the original route to the destination. The smart cockpit sends the total length of the original route and the road condition information of the original route to the vehicle controller. The road condition information includes but is not limited to congestion, traffic light conditions and speed limits. The vehicle controller calculates the vehicle's cruising range on the original route based on the road condition information of the original route and the remaining power of the vehicle, and compares the cruising range with the total length of the original route. If the cruising range is less than the total length of the original route, it means that if the vehicle continues to travel on the original route in its current state, it will not be able to reach the destination. For example, the vehicle controller calculates that the vehicle's cruising range on the above-mentioned original route is 130 kilometers, while the total length of the original route is 140 kilometers.

[0064] Therefore, the vehicle controller calculates the target gap and the cruising range gain of at least one cruising mode. The target gap can be understood as a parameter, specifically the first distance minus the second distance, where the first distance is the distance between the vehicle and the destination, and the second distance is the cruising range of the vehicle. Taking the above data as an example, the first distance at this time is the total length of the original route, and the second distance at this time is the cruising range of the vehicle on the original route, so the target gap at this time is 10 kilometers. The cruising range mode enables the vehicle to increase the cruising range by sacrificing certain performance. Exemplarily, the at least one cruising range mode includes a power efficiency mode, an air conditioning efficiency mode, a kinetic energy recovery mode, an energy-saving route mode, and an energy-saving vehicle speed mode.

[0065] Among them, the power energy efficiency mode is to change the driving mode of the vehicle's drive system, such as changing the torque of the traction motor, thereby increasing the cruising range by sacrificing certain power performance.

[0066] The air conditioning energy efficiency mode reduces the cooling capacity of the vehicle's thermal management system, thereby reducing the amount of electricity consumed.

[0067] The kinetic energy recovery mode converts the vehicle's mechanical energy into the vehicle's electrical energy. Specifically, when braking, the traction motor of the drive system will act as a generator to charge the battery pack based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

[0068] The energy-saving route mode is a route in which the vehicle travels to the destination from the original route to an energy-saving route. The energy-saving route is, for example, a route with fewer traffic lights or less congestion.

[0069] The energy-saving speed mode reduces the vehicle speed.

[0070] The vehicle controller calculates the reduction in target gap after the vehicle applies each endurance mode, which is also known as the endurance gain:

[0071] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range can be extended by 4 kilometers by applying only the power efficiency mode, thereby reducing the target gap by 4 kilometers. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range gain of the power efficiency mode is 4 kilometers.

[0072] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, applying only the air conditioning energy efficiency mode can extend the cruising range by 2 kilometers, thereby reducing the target gap by 2 kilometers. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range gain of the air conditioning energy efficiency mode is 2 kilometers.

[0073] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range can be extended by 2 kilometers after applying only the kinetic energy recovery mode, thereby reducing the target gap by 2 kilometers. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range gain of the kinetic energy recovery mode is 2 kilometers.

[0074] For example, if a vehicle only uses the Energy Saving Route mode, and the total length of the Energy Saving Route is 145 kilometers, the vehicle controller, combined with the road condition information of the Energy Saving Route, calculates that the vehicle's range on the Energy Saving Route is 137 kilometers. In other words, the first distance is the aforementioned 145 kilometers, and the second distance is the aforementioned 137 kilometers, so the target distance is now 8 kilometers. 8 kilometers is 2 kilometers less than the aforementioned 10 kilometers, so it can be assumed that the vehicle can reduce the target distance by 2 kilometers after using the Energy Saving Route mode, resulting in a range gain of 2 kilometers.

[0075] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range can be extended by 2 kilometers by applying only the energy-saving speed mode, thereby reducing the target gap by 2 kilometers. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination, the cruising range gain of the energy-saving speed mode is 2 kilometers.

[0076] In addition, for the case where the vehicle uses the energy-saving route mode, that is, driving along the energy-saving route to the destination, the vehicle controller also performs the following calculations:

[0077] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range can be extended by 4 kilometers by applying only the power efficiency mode. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range gain of the power efficiency mode is 4 kilometers.

[0078] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range can be extended by 2 kilometers by applying only the air-conditioning energy-efficiency mode. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range gain of the air-conditioning energy-efficiency mode is 2 kilometers.

[0079] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range can be extended by 1 kilometer by applying only the kinetic energy recovery mode. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to its destination, the cruising range gain of the kinetic energy recovery mode is 1 kilometer.

[0080] For example, the vehicle controller calculates that when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to a destination, the cruising range can be extended by 1 kilometer by applying only the energy-saving speed mode. Therefore, when the vehicle travels from an energy-saving route to a destination, the cruising range gain of the energy-saving speed mode is 1 kilometer.

[0081] The vehicle controller also determines whether the vehicle can reduce the target gap to less than or equal to 0 by applying the endurance gain of each endurance mode based on the endurance gain of each endurance mode. There are two cases, which are described below:

[0082] Case 1: The vehicle controller sums the range gains of the power energy efficiency mode, air conditioning energy efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode, and energy-saving speed mode when the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination. If the sum is greater than or equal to the aforementioned target gap of 10 kilometers, the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle can reduce the target gap to less than or equal to 0 by applying the range mode.

[0083] Case 2: The vehicle controller sums the range gains of the power efficiency mode, air conditioning efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode, and energy-saving speed mode when the vehicle travels from the energy-saving route to the destination, and adds the range gain of the energy-saving route mode. If the resulting value is greater than or equal to the aforementioned target gap of 10 kilometers, the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle can reduce the target gap to less than or equal to 0 by applying the range mode.

[0084] If the vehicle controller determines that the vehicle can reduce the target gap to less than or equal to 0 by applying the endurance mode, the vehicle controller sends the aforementioned target gap and the endurance gain of each endurance mode to the smart cockpit.

[0085] 202. The vehicle-mounted device displays target information.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 3. The intelligent cockpit displays the range gains of each endurance mode. The range gains of the power efficiency mode, air conditioning efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode, and energy-saving speed mode shown in Figure 3 all correspond to the situation where the vehicle travels from the original route to the destination. Optionally, each endurance mode has a switch option, which allows the driver to control whether the vehicle uses the endurance mode. Of course, the content shown in Figure 3 is only for reference. In actual implementation, it can also be displayed in other arrangements, which are not shown here one by one.

[0087] As shown in Figure 3, the driver learns that the target gap is 10 kilometers, that the range gain from Power Efficiency Mode is 4 kilometers, that from Air Conditioning Efficiency Mode is 2 kilometers, that from Regenerative Mode is 2 kilometers, that from Energy Efficient Route Mode is 2 kilometers, and that from Energy Efficient Speed ​​Mode is 2 kilometers. In one example, the driver can turn on Power Efficiency Mode, Air Conditioning Efficiency Mode, Regenerative Mode, and Energy Efficient Speed ​​Mode in the smart cockpit to reduce the target gap to zero.

[0088] Optionally, each time the driver turns on a range mode, the smart cockpit updates the target distance based on the range gain of that range mode. For example, referring to Figure 4, after the driver turns on the power efficiency mode, the smart cockpit updates the target distance to 6 kilometers because the range gain of power efficiency mode is 4 kilometers. After the driver turns on the power efficiency mode, air conditioning efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode, and energy-saving speed mode, the target distance is updated to 0, ensuring that the driver can reach the destination.

[0089] If the driver turns on the Energy Efficiency Route mode switch, the Smart Cockpit also updates the range gains for Power Efficiency Mode, Air Conditioning Efficiency Mode, Kinetic Energy Recovery Mode, and Energy Efficiency Speed ​​Mode to reflect the vehicle's journey from the Energy Efficiency Route to the destination. For example, if the driver first turns on the Energy Efficiency Route mode switch, the Smart Cockpit updates the target distance to 8 kilometers and updates the range gains for Power Efficiency Mode, Air Conditioning Efficiency Mode, Kinetic Energy Recovery Mode, and Energy Efficiency Speed ​​Mode to reflect the vehicle's journey from the Energy Efficiency Route to the destination.

[0090] In a special case, if the driver turns on the switch options of power efficiency mode, air conditioning efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode and energy-saving speed mode, it is not enough to reduce the target gap to less than or equal to 0. Only by turning on the switch option of energy-saving route mode and then turning on the switch options of one or more endurance modes among power efficiency mode, air conditioning efficiency mode, kinetic energy recovery mode and energy-saving speed mode can the target gap be reduced to less than or equal to 0. In this case, the smart cockpit can display the energy-saving route mode specially, such as in bold or in color font.

[0091] In addition, the smart cockpit can also display the impact information of each endurance mode, which is used to indicate the impact after the vehicle applies the endurance mode. For example, the impact information of the power efficiency mode is that the vehicle's power performance will be weakened, the impact information of the air conditioning efficiency mode is that the temperature inside the car will increase, the impact information of the kinetic energy recovery mode is that passengers will be more likely to feel motion sickness, the impact information of the energy-saving route mode is that there are more toll stations on the energy-saving route, and the impact information of the energy-saving speed mode is that the vehicle speed will be lower. Please refer to Figure 6. The smart cockpit can also display an extended logo for each endurance mode. When the driver touches the extended logo of a endurance mode, the smart cockpit will display the impact information of the endurance mode. Of course, the smart cockpit can also display the option of "one-button full opening". When the driver touches this option, the switch options of all endurance modes can be directly turned on.

[0092] Whenever the driver turns on the Endurance Mode switch, the smart cockpit sends an activation message to the vehicle controller, indicating the aforementioned Endurance Mode. Upon receiving the activation message, the vehicle controller controls the intelligent driving system, thermal management system, or drive system to perform the corresponding function based on the activation message. For example, if the driver turns on the Power Efficiency Mode switch, the vehicle controller controls the drive system to change the driving mode; if the driver turns on the Air Conditioning Efficiency Mode switch, the vehicle controller controls the thermal management system to change the temperature throughout the vehicle; if the driver turns on the Kinetic Energy Recovery Mode switch, the vehicle controller controls the drive system's traction motor to act as a generator when the vehicle decelerates, thereby charging the battery pack; if the driver turns on the Energy Saving Route Mode switch, the vehicle controller controls the intelligent driving system to drive along an energy-saving route to the destination; and if the driver turns on the Energy Saving Speed ​​Mode switch, the vehicle controller controls the intelligent driving system to reduce the vehicle speed.

[0093] Of course, the aforementioned at least one endurance mode may also include one or more of a power efficiency mode, an air conditioning efficiency mode, a kinetic energy recovery mode, an energy-saving route mode, and an energy-saving speed mode. Those skilled in the art can make flexible settings in actual applications based on actual needs and the aforementioned introduction. If the vehicle is not equipped with an intelligent driving system or the driver has not turned on the intelligent driving system, the smart cockpit can also display the speed corresponding to the energy-saving speed mode, so that the driver can drive at that speed. The vehicle controller can also recalculate the vehicle's endurance distance based on the endurance mode applied by the vehicle, and send the endurance distance to the smart cockpit for display by the smart cockpit. Of course, the aforementioned calculations performed by the vehicle controller can also be performed by the smart cockpit. The vehicle controller only needs to control the intelligent driving system, thermal management system or drive system to perform corresponding functions according to the activation information of the smart cockpit.

[0094] In this application, the first vehicle-mounted device displays the target gap and the endurance gain of each endurance mode, allowing the driver to choose the endurance mode to be turned on based on the above information, which can not only take into account the driver's personalized needs, but also ensure that the vehicle can reach the destination.

[0095] The method for displaying battery life information in the present application is introduced above. The embodiment of the present application also provides a device for implementing any of the above methods. For example, a device is provided including a unit (or means) for implementing each step performed by the first vehicle-mounted device in any of the above methods. For another example, another device is also provided, including a unit (or means) for implementing each step performed by the second vehicle-mounted device in any of the above methods.

[0097] Processing unit 701 is configured to obtain target information, including a target gap and a cruising range gain for at least one cruising mode. The target gap is calculated by subtracting a second distance from a first distance, where the first distance is the distance between the vehicle and the destination, and the second distance is the cruising range of the vehicle. The cruising range gain indicates the reduction in the target gap that can be achieved by applying the cruising mode. A display unit is configured to display the target information.
