[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Figure 1 A flowchart of a driving method for a hybrid vehicle is provided for the first embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is applicable to the case of driving and controlling a hybrid vehicle. The method can be executed by a driving device of a hybrid vehicle. The driving device of the hybrid vehicle can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The driving device of the hybrid vehicle can be configured in an electronic device with data processing capabilities. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0032] S110: If a start signal of a hybrid vehicle is received and it is determined that the current ambient temperature is less than a first temperature threshold, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter a single driving mode.

[0033] Among them, the power source of the hybrid vehicle includes an engine and a motor. The start signal of the hybrid vehicle refers to a signal that activates the vehicle power system for vehicle driving; the start signal of the hybrid vehicle can be triggered by the driver. For example, if the driver steps on the brake pedal and clicks the start button (also known as the ignition button, one-button start button, etc.), the vehicle can receive the start signal. The first temperature threshold reflects the temperature threshold in a low temperature environment. The first temperature threshold can be determined according to actual conditions. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the first temperature threshold can be less than the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the power battery. The first temperature threshold can be a value such as 0°C, -10°C. The hybrid vehicle drives the vehicle through the engine in a single drive mode. The hybrid vehicle does not drive the motor in a single drive mode, nor does it charge and discharge the power battery.

[0034] Specifically, if a start signal of a hybrid vehicle is received, the current ambient temperature is obtained through a temperature sensor; if the current ambient temperature is less than a first temperature threshold, the engine of the hybrid vehicle is started through a low-voltage starter. In this case, the hybrid vehicle is driven by the engine while the hybrid vehicle is driving.

[0035] S120: If it is determined that the temperature of the engine coolant meets the heat exchange condition, a heat exchange request is sent to the heat exchange execution component of the hybrid vehicle so that the heat of the engine coolant is transferred to the power battery coolant through the heat exchanger, so that the power battery coolant transfers the heat to the power battery.

[0036] Among them, the heat exchange execution component can be a valve, water pump, etc. in the power battery coolant circuit. In the embodiment of the present application, the engine coolant circuit and the power battery coolant circuit are connected through a heat exchanger. The heat exchange execution component can control the flow of the power battery coolant to obtain the heat of the engine coolant at the heat exchanger.

[0037] Specifically, in a feasible solution, the temperature of the engine coolant is obtained. If the temperature is greater than the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the engine, a heat exchange request is sent to the heat exchange execution component of the hybrid vehicle to perform heat exchange between the engine coolant and the power battery coolant. It should be noted that the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the engine can be determined according to the specific parameters of the engine, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the engine can be 90°C, 100°C, etc.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application is configured such that after the engine is just started, the residual heat of the engine continues to support the temperature rise of the engine until the engine reaches the normal operating temperature range. The heat of the engine coolant is transferred to the power battery coolant through the heat exchanger, so that the power battery coolant can heat the power battery.

[0039] S130: If it is determined that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the second temperature, control the hybrid vehicle to enter a hybrid driving mode.

[0040] The second temperature reflects the temperature at which the power battery operates normally, and the second temperature can be determined according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the present embodiment. The hybrid vehicle can drive the vehicle or charge the power battery through the motor in the hybrid drive mode, and the hybrid vehicle can use the power battery and the motor in the hybrid drive mode.

[0041] Specifically, the temperature of the power battery is continuously obtained. If it is determined that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the second temperature, the power battery has reached a normal working temperature. In this case, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter a hybrid drive mode, that is, the hybrid vehicle can use the power battery.

[0042] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application includes: if a start signal of a hybrid vehicle is received and it is determined that the current ambient temperature is less than a first temperature threshold, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter a single drive mode; the hybrid vehicle drives the vehicle through the engine in the single drive mode; if it is determined that the temperature of the engine coolant meets the heat exchange condition, a heat exchange request is sent to the heat exchange execution component of the hybrid vehicle, so that the heat of the engine coolant is transferred to the power battery coolant through the heat exchanger, so that the power battery coolant transfers the heat to the power battery; if it is determined that the temperature of the power battery is greater than a second temperature, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter a hybrid drive mode; the hybrid vehicle can drive the vehicle through a motor or charge the power battery in the hybrid drive mode. In this technical solution, when the vehicle is cold-started, only the engine is started, and the power battery is heated by the residual heat of the engine, which reduces the energy consumption of the power battery during use, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the whole vehicle.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of a driving method for a hybrid vehicle provided in the second embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application is optimized based on the above embodiment.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] S210: If a start signal of the hybrid vehicle is received and it is determined that the current ambient temperature is less than a first temperature threshold, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter a single driving mode.

[0047] The hybrid vehicle is driven only by the engine in the single driving mode, but not by the motor, and the power battery is not charged or discharged.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, if a start signal of a hybrid vehicle is received and it is determined that the current ambient temperature is less than a first temperature threshold, the engine is started by a starter, thereby controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a single drive mode.

[0049] It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, there are two ways to start a hybrid vehicle. One is to start the engine through a starter, which is a low-voltage starter, usually a 12V low-voltage starter. The other is to start the engine by dragging the engine crankshaft with a motor. The embodiment of the present application uses a low-voltage starter to start the engine. This arrangement makes it unnecessary to use a motor and a power battery when starting a hybrid vehicle, thus avoiding the problem of battery loss and high energy consumption caused by using a power battery in a low-temperature environment.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, before controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a single drive mode, the method also includes (i.e., a process of starting the engine by a starter): sending a clutch disconnect command to a controller for controlling clutch separation; if clutch disconnect information is received as feedback from the controller for controlling clutch separation, controlling the starter to start the engine.

[0051] Specifically, when starting the engine through the starter, it is necessary to disconnect the engine from the transmission system to reduce the starting load, that is, disconnect the clutch. In this case, a clutch disconnection command can be sent to a controller for controlling clutch separation through the vehicle controller; if the clutch disconnection information is fed back from the controller for controlling clutch separation, the starter is controlled to start the engine.

[0052] For example, Figure 3It is a flow chart of starting the engine through the starter, where HCU is the vehicle controller, TCU is the transmission controller, and ECU is the engine controller. Specifically, after the ON gear is activated and the HCU is awakened, if it is detected that the user steps on the brake pedal and clicks the START control, the vehicle can be started. At this time, the HCU obtains the ambient temperature and determines whether the temperature is less than the first temperature threshold. If it is less, the engine is started through the starter; then the HCU sends a signal to start the engine through the starter and a clutch target state separation signal to the HCU, so that the TCU knows that this start is started by the starter and the clutch needs to be disconnected. If the TCU determines that the clutch separation condition has been met, it will feedback this information to the HCU, and then the HCU controls the starter to start the engine. If the HCU receives the engine start information fed back by the ECU, the start is completed.

[0053] For example, the control system diagram of the hybrid vehicle of the present application embodiment can be referred to Figure 4 ,exist Figure 4 In the embodiment, the vehicle controller is communicatively connected with the transmission controller, the engine controller, the power battery controller, the motor controller, the brake system controller, the sensor, the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal. The control system can execute the driving method of the hybrid vehicle described in the embodiment of the present application.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the engine coolant pipeline of the hybrid vehicle is connected to the power battery coolant pipeline via a heat exchanger; and the power system of the hybrid vehicle is a P2 configuration.

[0055] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the connection between the engine coolant pipeline and the power battery coolant pipeline. Figure 5 In the embodiment, the engine coolant line flows through the engine and the heat exchanger, and the power battery coolant line flows through the battery and the heat exchanger. The power system of the hybrid vehicle is a P2 configuration, which can be called a P2 hybrid configuration. The hybrid vehicle can be a heavy-duty commercial vehicle, a heavy-duty truck, etc. The P2 configuration refers to the motor (motor / generator) installed between the output shaft of the engine and the input shaft of the gearbox, and the power coupling or decoupling is usually achieved through one or more clutches. Clutch action: By controlling the clutch, the engine and the motor can work independently or in coordination: The clutch is disconnected: the motor drives the wheels alone (pure electric mode). The clutch is closed: the engine and the motor drive the wheels together (parallel mode), or the engine drives alone.

[0056] S220: If it is determined that the temperature of the engine coolant is greater than the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the engine, a heat exchange request is sent to a heat exchange execution component of the hybrid vehicle.

[0057] Exemplarily, if the heat exchange execution component is a water pump, that is, the water pump is used to control the flow of power battery coolant; in this case, if it is detected that the temperature of the engine coolant is greater than the lower limit of the normal operating temperature range of the engine, a heat exchange request is sent to the water pump of the hybrid vehicle, and the flow of the power battery coolant is controlled by the water pump, so that the power battery coolant transfers the heat at the heat exchanger to the power battery.

[0058] S230: If it is determined that the temperature of the power battery is greater than the second temperature and less than the third temperature, control the hybrid vehicle to enter a hybrid driving mode.

[0059] For example, under normal circumstances, the normal operating temperature range of the power battery is between 20°C and 40°C (it should be noted that the normal operating temperature ranges of different types of batteries are different, and this application is only a specific example here). In this case, the second temperature is 20°C and the third temperature is 40°C; if it is determined that the temperature of the power battery is greater than 20°C and less than 40°C, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the hybrid drive mode. This scheme is set up in this way, so that the temperature of the power battery is always in a reasonable temperature range during use, which improves the efficiency of electric energy utilization and protects the battery.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, optionally, the hybrid drive mode includes: a pure electric mode, an engine and motor parallel drive mode, a power battery charging mode or an engine direct drive mode.

[0061] Specifically, in hybrid drive mode, the hybrid vehicle can drive the vehicle based on the control logic at normal temperature, for example, controlling the motor to intervene when high torque is required, and charging the power battery when the power battery has a low power level.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, optionally, the method also includes: if it is detected that the current ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature, adjusting the first discharge lower limit threshold of the hybrid vehicle to the second discharge lower limit threshold, and adjusting the third charging upper limit threshold of the hybrid vehicle to the fourth charging upper limit threshold, so that after the hybrid vehicle is started next time, the discharge lower limit threshold of the power battery is the second discharge lower limit threshold, and the charging upper limit threshold is the fourth charging upper limit threshold; the first discharge lower limit threshold is lower than the second discharge lower limit threshold, and the third charging upper limit threshold is greater than the fourth charging upper limit threshold.

[0063] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, since the application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is a low temperature environment, in this case, the hybrid vehicle does not charge the power battery after starting and before the vehicle enters the hybrid drive mode. In this case, after entering the hybrid drive mode, under conditions requiring a large amount of electricity, if the power battery is low, there may be insufficient power supply. Therefore, after determining that the temperature is lower than the first temperature, the embodiment of the present application adjusts the first discharge lower limit threshold of the hybrid vehicle to the second discharge lower limit threshold, so that the remaining power in the power battery is greater than the second discharge lower limit threshold, so that after the hybrid vehicle is started next time, the power in the power battery can support the vehicle's large power demand and better protect the battery.

[0064] For example, in a low temperature environment, the SOC threshold of the power battery charge and discharge is increased to avoid the problem that the power battery discharge rate is low and cannot meet the power demand of the whole vehicle. When the power battery is charged, the SOC is reduced to SOCmax*Kmax (Kmax<1); when the power battery is discharged, the SOC is increased to SOCmin*Kmin (Kmin>1).

[0065] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is that after the vehicle is turned off and started, if the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature, the vehicle is driven by the engine until the heat of the engine coolant is transferred to the power battery and the power battery meets the temperature requirement, and then the hybrid vehicle is hybrid-driven, that is, the hybrid vehicle can charge and discharge the power battery normally, and the embodiment of the present application increases the lower limit threshold of the power battery discharge in this case, so that the remaining power in the power battery can be greater than the second lower limit threshold of the discharge, and after the vehicle enters the hybrid drive mode, if the vehicle urgently needs a large amount of electricity, there can be sufficient power to support it, which greatly improves the user experience.
