[0024] The available assembled power of the power battery of an electric tractor (also referred to as a towing train in this article) is limited by the overall vehicle space layout. Relying solely on its own battery pack for power supply, the battery capacity is limited, and the cruising range is short, making it difficult to meet the requirements of medium- and long-distance trunk transportation. It may be necessary to charge frequently, resulting in low transportation efficiency. Moreover, in the face of heavy loads, climbing slopes, accelerating, etc., relying solely on the power system of the tractor itself may result in insufficient power output, causing the vehicle to travel slowly, have difficulty climbing slopes, and even affect the completion of normal transportation tasks. At the same time, the mechanical energy generated by the trailer of the tractor during braking or downhill cannot be effectively converted into electrical energy and stored, resulting in energy waste and reduced energy utilization efficiency. For traditional electric towing vehicles, the present application provides an electric tractor with a powered trailer. The electric tractor with a powered trailer includes a tractor (also referred to as the main vehicle in this article), a powered trailer (abbreviated as the trailer), and a cruising control system. The powered trailer is a trailer with a power battery system and an electric drive axle. The powered trailer is used to provide auxiliary power for the tractor.

[0031] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following further details the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a cruising range control system for a power-assisted trailer electric tractor is provided. The power-assisted trailer electric tractor includes a tractor and a power trailer, and the power trailer is used to provide auxiliary power for the tractor. The cruising range control system for the power-assisted trailer electric tractor includes:

[0034] A data acquisition module for acquiring target data. The target data includes the battery pack power Q1 of the tractor, the battery pack power Q2 of the power trailer, the total driving torque T0 required for the whole vehicle, and the driving conditions of the whole vehicle. The whole vehicle includes a tractor and a power trailer;

[0035] A control module for, when the ratio R of the battery pack power Q1 of the tractor to the battery pack power Q2 of the power trailer is within a set proportional range, determining the distribution ratio of the driving torque T1 of the tractor and the driving torque T2 of the power trailer according to the driving conditions of the whole vehicle, and determining the driving torque T1 of the tractor and the driving torque T2 of the power trailer according to the distribution ratio of the driving torque T1 of the tractor and the driving torque T2 of the power trailer and the total driving torque required for the whole vehicle. The lower limit of the set proportional range is less than 1, and the upper limit of the set proportional range is greater than 1;

[0036] When the ratio R of the battery pack power Q1 of the tractor to the battery pack power Q2 of the power trailer is greater than the upper limit of the set proportional range, reducing the driving torque T2 of the power trailer and increasing the driving torque T1 of the tractor;

[0037] And when the ratio R of the battery pack power Q1 of the tractor to the battery pack power Q2 of the power trailer is less than the lower limit of the set proportional range, increasing the driving torque T2 of the power trailer and reducing the driving torque T1 of the tractor.

[0038] The general principle of driving torque distribution is as follows:

[0039] 1) On the premise of ensuring driving safety, give priority to using the driving torque of the tractor and reduce the power output of the trailer.

[0040] 2) When the battery power of the tractor is low, gradually increase the power output of the trailer to balance the power consumption of the two.

[0041] 3) Under high-power demand conditions such as acceleration and climbing, make full use of the driving torques of both the tractor and the trailer at the same time.

[0042] Driving torque distribution under different working conditions:

[0043] Low-speed cruising condition: The tractor is the main driving source, and the trailer does not participate in driving or only provides a small driving torque.

[0044] Acceleration condition: The driving torques of both the tractor and the trailer are utilized simultaneously to ensure the acceleration performance of the whole vehicle.

[0045] Climbing condition: Increase the driving torque output of the trailer to improve the traction force of the whole vehicle.

[0046] Downhill or coasting condition: Reduce the energy consumption of the drive system, give priority to the power output of the tractor, and the trailer operates at low power or does not participate in driving.

[0047] Based on the above distribution strategy, as an alternative implementation, when the ratio R of the battery power Q1 of the tractor power battery pack and the battery power Q2 of the powered trailer battery pack is within the set proportional range, in terms of determining the distribution ratio of the driving torque T1 of the tractor and the driving torque T2 of the powered trailer according to the driving condition of the whole vehicle, the control module is used for:

[0048] When the driving condition of the whole vehicle is the low-speed cruising condition, the driving torques of the tractor and the powered trailer are respectively distributed as 90% and 10% of the driving torque T0 required by the whole vehicle.

[0049] When the driving condition of the whole vehicle is the acceleration condition, the driving torques of the tractor and the powered trailer are respectively distributed as 70% and 30% of the driving torque T0 required by the whole vehicle.

[0050] When the driving condition of the whole vehicle is the climbing condition, the driving torques of the tractor and the powered trailer are respectively distributed as 60% and 40% of the driving torque T0 required by the whole vehicle.

[0051] And when the driving condition of the whole vehicle is the downhill condition or the coasting condition, the driving torques of the tractor and the powered trailer are respectively distributed as 95% and 5% of the driving torque T0 required by the whole vehicle.

[0052] In the above implementation, the determination method of the distribution ratio is a fixed distribution method, that is, the distribution ratio under different conditions remains unchanged.

[0053] The following provides an implementation of a non-fixed distribution method: The distribution ratio of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer includes an initial distribution ratio and a current distribution ratio; the initial distribution ratio is a preset distribution ratio used when the driving torques of the tractor and the powered trailer are first distributed under each driving condition of the whole vehicle; the current distribution ratio is a distribution ratio determined in real time as the vehicle runs under each driving condition of the whole vehicle.

[0054] Among them, the initial distribution ratio under each vehicle driving condition is determined by testing several distribution ratios under each vehicle driving condition.

[0055] The determination process of the current distribution ratio under each vehicle driving condition is as follows:

[0056] 1) According to several groups of historical performance parameters, optimization objectives, and constraint conditions under the vehicle driving condition, using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, a set of optimal performance parameters is obtained; the optimization objectives include an energy efficiency objective and a dynamic performance objective.

[0057] 2) According to a set of the optimal performance parameters, the current distribution ratio of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer is determined.

[0058] As an optional implementation manner, the specific process for determining the initial distribution ratio under each vehicle driving condition is as follows:

[0059] 1) Establish a test environment and a design objective mathematical model (vehicle dynamics model), and set several distribution ratios of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer within a certain range; among them, the design objective mathematical model is constructed according to the performance indicators (of the vehicle). The certain range can be determined based on engineering experience.

[0060] 2) In the test environment, test and obtain the set of performance indicators under each distribution ratio of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer.

[0061] 3) According to the design objective mathematical model, calculate the design objective values corresponding to the set of performance indicators under each distribution ratio of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer.

[0062] 4) Select the distribution ratio of the driving torque of the tractor and the driving torque of the powered trailer corresponding to the optimal design objective value.

[0063] The initial distribution ratio of the driving torque under each condition can be denoted as K0, and K0 is also called the basic distribution coefficient. That is to say, K0 is determined according to the design objectives (design objective mathematical model) of different conditions, vehicle performance, and engineering experience. It is mainly to calculate the vehicle performance indicators under different distribution ratios through the vehicle dynamics model, and determine the actual performance of different K0s through experiments or simulations. The process is as follows:

[0064] 1) On a test bench or in a real vehicle, test several driving torque distribution ratios (such as 85%:15%, 90%:10%, 95%:5%).

[0065] 2) Record key performance indicators: acceleration time, climbing ability, energy consumption, tire slip ratio, etc. Select the optimal ratio as K0 according to the design goal. The performance indicators describe the performance of the whole vehicle, and each performance indicator is determined by multiple parameters (performance parameters), which are collected by sensors.

[0066] During the operation of the tractor whole vehicle, the current distribution ratio of the driving torques of the prime mover and the trailer can be dynamically optimized using a multi-objective optimization algorithm according to the battery capacities of the prime mover and the trailer, vehicle body stability, vehicle driving states (starting, climbing), etc. At the same time, when the speed of the tractor-trailer exceeds 15 km / h, with the goal that the propulsion force of the trailer does not exceed that of the prime mover, dynamically adjust the driving forces of the prime mover and the trailer to avoid tire slippage.

[0067] The following further illustrates the dynamic optimization using a multi-objective optimization algorithm through an example:

[0068] 1) Key optimization objectives and their quantification indicators.

[0069] a. Energy efficiency objective (endurance objective): total energy consumption (battery consumption of the prime mover and the trailer), energy recovered by regenerative braking, ratio of power demand to battery capacity.

[0070] b. Dynamic performance objective (traction force objective): acceleration ability (such as 0 - 60 km / h time), ramp climbing ability, matching degree of driving torque and vehicle load.

[0071] 2) Constraint conditions, that is, the hard limits to be satisfied during the optimization process.

[0072] a. Stability constraints, whose quantification indicators include dynamic parameters such as vehicle lateral slip ratio, yaw rate, centroid acceleration, tire adhesion coefficient utilization rate, etc. The influence of driving torque distribution on stability can be described by establishing a vehicle dynamics model (such as a single-track model, multi-body dynamics model).

[0073] b. Lower limit of battery SOC (for example, prime mover SOC ≥ 20%, trailer SOC ≥ 15%).

[0074] c. Range of driving torque distribution ratio (such as the prime mover's share [40%, 80%], to avoid unilateral overload caused by extreme distribution).

[0075] d. Tire adhesion coefficient limit (driving torque ≤ μ·N, where μ is the friction coefficient and N is the vertical load).

[0076] e. Battery life protection: balance of the state of charge (SOC) of the prime mover and trailer batteries, avoidance of overcharging / discharging, temperature control, etc.

[0077] f. Safety constraints: prevent tire skidding (e.g., longitudinal adhesion coefficient ≤ 1), prevent vehicle out-of-control (e.g., yaw rate does not exceed the threshold).

[0078] 3) Multi-objective optimization algorithms: SPEA2 (Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2), NSGA-II, etc. can be used.

[0079] 4) Dynamic optimization process.

[0080] a. Definition of objective function:

[0081] Define the objective function (the objective to be minimized or maximized) and the constraint conditions. Among them, each optimization objective corresponds to an objective function.

[0082] b. Real-time data (parameters) acquisition:

[0083] Obtain the current state parameters through sensors: power battery SOC, vehicle speed, slope, tire adhesion coefficient, acceleration, driving torque, etc.

[0084] c. Switch the weights of each optimization objective according to the driving state / operating conditions (starting, climbing, cruising, etc.).

[0085] Dynamic target adjustment: Adjust the priority of each optimization objective according to the real-time operating conditions (switch the weights of each optimization objective). For example:

[0086] Starting / acceleration stage: Traction is prioritized, and energy efficiency is sacrificed appropriately.

[0087] When climbing: Balance the traction and the limit of tire adhesion coefficient.

[0088] Flat road cruising: Aim at energy efficiency and maximize SOC balance.

[0089] Since the downhill operating condition or the coasting operating condition pays more attention to energy recovery and braking, the dynamic optimization of the driving torque distribution ratio is not carried out.

[0090] d. Multi-objective optimization: Based on multiple sets of historical parameters corresponding to the current operating conditions and each optimization objective, use multi-objective optimization algorithms such as NSGA-II to iteratively optimize and obtain a set of optimal parameters corresponding to the current operating conditions.

[0091] Generally, multiple sets of optimized parameters (solution sets) will be obtained through the multi-objective optimization algorithm. The optimal set can be selected through methods such as weighted summation method or rule base, that is, a set of optimal parameters corresponding to the current operating conditions is obtained.

[0092] Update the objective function and constraint conditions according to the latest data in each iteration to ensure dynamic adaptation to environmental changes.

[0093] e. Decision-making and control instruction output:

[0094] Based on a set of optimal parameters corresponding to the current working condition, determine the driving torque ratio (i.e., the current distribution ratio), and send it to the motor controllers of the tractor and the trailer.

[0095] f. Closed-loop feedback and continuous optimization:

[0096] Monitor the actual state after execution. If there is a deviation (such as the aggravation of SOC imbalance), that is, it does not meet the constraint conditions, then re-trigger the optimization process.

[0097] As an alternative implementation, the target data further includes the voltage of the power battery pack of the tractor and the voltage of the power battery pack of the powered trailer; when the ratio R of the power battery pack power Q1 of the tractor and the power battery pack power Q2 of the powered trailer is greater than the upper limit of the set ratio range, in terms of reducing the driving torque T2 of the powered trailer and increasing the driving torque T1 of the tractor, the control module is used for:

[0098] When the ratio of the power battery pack power of the tractor and the power battery pack power of the powered trailer is greater than the upper limit of the set ratio range, according to the first torque adjustment model: T1’ = T1×(1 + η1), adjust the driving torque of the tractor to increase the driving torque of the tractor; where, T1 is the driving torque of the tractor before adjustment, T1’ is the driving torque of the tractor after adjustment, η1 represents the tractor efficiency factor, η1 = V1×Q1 / (V1×Q1 + V2×Q2), V1 represents the voltage of the power battery pack of the tractor; Q1 represents the power battery pack power of the tractor; V2 represents the voltage of the power battery pack of the powered trailer; Q2 represents the power battery pack power of the powered trailer;

[0099] When the ratio of the power battery pack power of the tractor and the power battery pack power of the powered trailer is greater than the upper limit of the set ratio range, according to the second driving torque adjustment model: T2’ = T2×(1 - η2), adjust the driving torque of the powered trailer to reduce the driving torque of the powered trailer; where, T2 is the driving torque of the powered trailer before adjustment, T2’ is the driving torque of the powered trailer after adjustment, η2 represents the powered trailer efficiency factor, η2 = V2×Q2 / (V1×Q1 + V2×Q2).

[0100] As an alternative implementation, the target data further includes the voltage of the power battery pack of the tractor and the voltage of the power battery pack of the powered trailer; when the ratio R of the power battery pack power Q1 of the tractor and the power battery pack power Q2 of the powered trailer is less than the lower limit of the set ratio range, in terms of increasing the driving torque T2 of the powered trailer and reducing the driving torque T1 of the tractor, the control module is used for:

[0101] When the ratio of the power of the traction vehicle's power battery pack to the power of the powered trailer's power battery pack is less than the lower limit of the set ratio range, according to the third driving torque adjustment model: T1’ = T1×(1 - η1), the driving torque of the traction vehicle is adjusted to reduce the driving torque of the traction vehicle; where T1 is the driving torque of the traction vehicle before adjustment, T1’ is the driving torque of the traction vehicle after adjustment, η1 represents the efficiency factor of the traction vehicle, η1 = V1×Q1 / (V1×Q1 + V2×Q2), V1 represents the voltage of the traction vehicle's power battery pack; Q1 represents the power of the traction vehicle's power battery pack; V2 represents the voltage of the powered trailer's power battery pack; Q2 represents the power of the powered trailer's power battery pack;

[0102] When the ratio of the power of the traction vehicle's power battery pack to the power of the powered trailer's power battery pack is less than the lower limit of the set ratio range, according to the fourth driving torque adjustment model: T2’ = T2×(1 + η2), the driving torque of the powered trailer is adjusted to increase the driving torque of the powered trailer; where T2 is the driving torque of the powered trailer before adjustment, T2’ is the driving torque of the powered trailer after adjustment, η2 represents the efficiency factor of the powered trailer, η2 = V2×Q2 / (V1×Q1 + V2×Q2).

[0103] As an optional implementation, the lower limit of the set ratio range is 0.6, and the upper limit of the set ratio range is 1.5.

[0104] That is to say, in this embodiment, in order to balance the power consumption of the traction vehicle and the trailer and avoid excessive discharge caused by a relatively low battery voltage, it is necessary to combine the real-time monitored battery powers Q1 and Q2 and battery system voltages V1 and V2 to dynamically adjust the actual output driving torques of the traction vehicle and the trailer under the above various working conditions. Specifically, according to the ratio of their remaining capacities: R = Q1 / Q2; when 0.6 ≤ R ≤ 1.5, the output torque of the traction vehicle is T1 and the output torque of the trailer is T2 as the target for adjustment (that is, according to the allocation method corresponding to when the ratio of the power of the traction vehicle's power battery pack to the power of the powered trailer's power battery pack is within the set ratio range); when R > 1.5, the driving torque output of the trailer is reduced, and the actual output torque is adjusted with the driving torque of the traction vehicle = T1×(1 + η1) and the driving torque of the trailer = T2×(1 - η2) as the target; when R < 0.6, the driving torque output of the trailer is increased, and the actual output torque is adjusted with the driving torque of the traction vehicle = T1×(1 - η1) and the driving torque of the trailer = T2×(1 + η2) as the target.

[0105] In another exemplary embodiment, the target data further includes the working power P1 of the traction vehicle motor, the maximum discharge power P1max of the traction vehicle power battery pack, the working power P2 of the powered trailer motor, and the maximum discharge power P2max of the powered trailer power battery pack, and the control module is further configured to:

[0106] When the ratio of the power Q1 of the traction vehicle's power battery pack to the power Q2 of the powered trailer's power battery pack is greater than the upper limit of the set ratio range, or when the working power P1 of the traction vehicle's motor is less than the maximum discharge power P1max of the traction vehicle's power battery pack and the working power P2 of the powered trailer's motor is greater than the maximum discharge power P2max of the powered trailer's power battery pack, output a first DCDC converter (bidirectional DCDC) control instruction, and the first DCDC converter control instruction is used to control the DCDC converter to transfer the power of the traction vehicle's power battery pack to the powered trailer;

[0107] And when the ratio of the power Q2 of the powered trailer's power battery pack to the power Q1 of the traction vehicle's power battery pack is greater than the upper limit of the set ratio range, or when the working power P2 of the powered trailer's motor is less than the maximum discharge power P2max of the powered trailer's power battery pack and the working power P1 of the traction vehicle's motor is greater than the maximum discharge power P1max of the traction vehicle's power battery pack, output a second DCDC converter control instruction, and the second DCDC converter control instruction is used to control the DCDC converter to transfer the power of the powered trailer's power battery pack to the traction vehicle.

[0108] That is, the electric traction vehicle with a powered trailer further includes a DCDC converter. Functions of the DCDC converter: 1) Realize the energy flow between the traction vehicle and the trailer's power battery packs, and improve the dynamic performance of the traction train. 2) When the power of the traction vehicle or the trailer's power battery is low, transfer energy through the DCDC converter to balance the power consumption of both, and improve the endurance of the traction train.

[0109] When the upper limit of the set ratio range is 1.5, that is, when Q1>1.5Q2 or Q2>1.5Q1, the DCDC converter will be started.

[0110] As an optional implementation manner, the main control module is further configured to output a DCDC converter control instruction and control the DCDC converter to stop working when the absolute value (|▽Q|) of the difference between the power Q1 of the traction vehicle's power battery pack and the power Q2 of the powered trailer's power battery pack is less than the second set ratio threshold with respect to the sum (Q1 + Q2) of the power Q1 of the traction vehicle's power battery pack and the power Q2 of the powered trailer's power battery pack.

[0111] As an optional implementation manner, the second set ratio threshold is 0.2.

[0112] That is to say, the balance target of the DCDC converter's dynamic balance strategy is to keep the difference in power between the traction vehicle and the trailer's power batteries within a reasonable range: |▽Q| ≤ 0.2(Q1 + Q2).

[0113] In addition, in some embodiments, the output power of the DCDC converter is adjusted according to the magnitude of ▽Q: Pd = k▽Q, where k is a proportionality coefficient used to regulate the energy transfer rate. Direction control: When Q1 > Q2, the tractor outputs energy to the trailer; when Q2 > Q1, the trailer outputs energy to the tractor.

[0114] By monitoring the voltage and power between the tractor and the trailer in real time, it is ensured that the power output of the DCDC converter should be as small as possible to reduce energy loss and the required rated power of the DCDC converter, thereby reducing costs.

[0115] Power limit of the DCDC converter The maximum power of the DCDC converter is P max, and exceeding this limit should be avoided during actual operation. In some embodiments, when the power difference is large, a phased energy transfer strategy is adopted:

[0116] Stage 1: Pd = P max;

[0117] Stage 2: When the power difference decreases to a certain extent, Pd is gradually reduced, that is, it operates according to Pd = k▽Q.

[0133] Embodiment 3

[0134] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In another exemplary embodiment, a powered trailer electric tractor is provided. The powered trailer electric tractor includes a tractor, a powered trailer, and a range control system of the powered trailer electric tractor described in Embodiment 2; the powered trailer is used to provide auxiliary power for the tractor.

[0135] The range control system is built into the microcontroller of the main control module.

[0136] As Figure 3 shown, the two positive terminals of the DCDC converter are respectively connected to the positive pole of the main vehicle power battery pack and the positive pole of the trailer power battery pack, and the two negative terminals of the DCDC converter are respectively connected to the negative pole of the main vehicle power battery pack and the negative pole of the trailer power battery pack. And, the two positive terminals of the DCDC converter are also respectively connected to the integrated controller 1 and the integrated controller 2. Relays are provided in the integrated controller 1 and the integrated controller 2 to control the disconnection and connection of the positive power supply terminals of the load devices (excluding the drive motor) of the main vehicle and the trailer from the positive pole of the power battery pack.

[0137] Figure 4 In, the battery management system 1 is mainly responsible for monitoring the battery voltage, current and temperature, SOC1, and battery charge Q1 of the main vehicle power battery system, determining the maximum discharge power P1max of the main vehicle battery, and communicating with the battery management system 3. At the same time (according to the instructions sent by the main control module), it controls the closed state of the high-voltage circuit through the negative relay 1. In Figure 4 The arrow lines in indicate the communication relationship. The single arrow indicates one-way communication, and the double arrow indicates two-way communication.
