[0029] The first aspect of the present application provides a control method of vehicle range extender, which is applied to the new energy vehicle with range extender. The execution end of the method can be the related controller of the vehicle. Figure 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the control method of vehicle range extender provided by the present application, combined with Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0030] S101: If the front driving road of the vehicle is a preset slope section, and the vehicle needs to generate electricity in the first sub-slope section of the preset slope section, determine the first power generation power of the vehicle meeting the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard; wherein the length of the preset slope section is greater than the preset length, the first sub-slope section is the same as the starting point of the preset slope section, and the vehicle generates electricity when the remaining power is lower than the preset threshold power.

[0031] It should be understood that the determination method of the preset slope section can be set in advance. The preset slope section is an overall uphill section, and the overall slope value can be greater than a specific slope value, which can be 5°. In some application scenarios, the preset slope section can be a continuous slope section, that is, the flat road in the preset slope section is less than a specific length, for example, less than 50 meters. Moreover, the length of the preset slope section can be greater than the preset length, and the preset length can be a relatively long length, for example, 500 meters. In some application scenarios, continuous slope road can be identified through high-precision map or real-time terrain scanning (such as front-view camera + radar), and then it is judged whether the continuous slope section is the preset slope section.

[0032] In this embodiment, the preset slope section is divided into at least a first sub-slope section and a second sub-slope section. The first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section can be divided according to length. For example, the length of the first sub-slope section and the length of the second sub-slope section can be the same, or the length of the first sub-slope section can be less than the length of the second sub-slope section. In addition, the first sub-slope section is the same as the starting point of the preset slope section, and the first sub-slope section can be considered as the front section of the preset slope section. The preset slope section can also be divided according to the predicted driving time. For example, the driving time of the first sub-slope section and the driving time of the second sub-slope section are the same, or the driving time of the first sub-slope section can be shorter than the driving time of the second sub-slope section. The driving time of the first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section can be predicted by navigation information. The preset slope section can also be divided according to the continuity of the slope section. For example, the first sub-slope section is from the first climbing point to the first climbing end point, and the second sub-slope section is from the second climbing start point to the second climbing end point. At this time, the first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section are connected by a flat road. In some application scenarios, the slope difference of the average slope of the first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section can be less than a preset slope value. The preset slope value can be a small slope value, for example, 3°, 5°, etc. So that the first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section have similar driving conditions for the vehicle. The above division method of the slope section can meet this application scenario.

[0033] In some specific application scenarios, when the sub-slope section is divided according to length, the length of the first sub-slope section can be greater than or equal to 25% of the length of the entire preset slope section, but less than or equal to 60% of the entire preset slope section. In combination with the above example, assuming that the length of the preset slope section is 500 meters, then the length of the first sub-slope section can be greater than or equal to 125 meters, but less than or equal to 300 meters. Through this division method, the length of the first sub-slope section is relatively long, and the actual driving condition has a guiding effect on the related parameter adjustment of the second sub-slope section. The length of the first sub-slope section is not too long, so that the second sub-slope section is not too short, and the guiding effect of the parameter adjustment of the second sub-slope section has practical significance. In other specific application scenarios, when the sub-slope section is divided according to length, the length of the first sub-slope section can be greater than the first length and less than the second length. The first length can be greater than or equal to 100m, and the second length can be less than or equal to 350m. So that the actual driving condition of the first sub-slope section also has a guiding effect, and the guiding effect has practical significance.

[0034] The distance between the vehicle and the start point of the preset slope section is less than a preset distance, and the front driving section of the vehicle can be considered as the preset slope section. The preset distance can be a small distance. At this time, the remaining power of the vehicle when driving the first sub-slope section without generating electricity can be predicted, and whether the vehicle needs to generate electricity in the first sub-slope section can be predicted according to the relationship between the predicted remaining power and the preset threshold power. The preset threshold power can be set according to actual needs, and the preset threshold power can be 20%, 30%, etc., which is not limited here.

[0035] The NVH performance of the vehicle affects the driving experience of the driver and passenger. When the NVH performance is good, the driving experience is better. The working process of the range extender will generate vibration, noise, etc., which will affect the NVH performance of the vehicle. Generally speaking, the higher the power of the range extender, the worse the NVH performance of the vehicle. The vehicle generally sets some NVH standards. Under the set NVH standard, there is generally a highest power generation of the range extender. The corresponding relationship between the NVH standard and the highest power generation can be set in advance according to actual needs.

[0036] Figure 2 is a feature map of the range extender. In combination with Figure 2 , the abscissa represents the speed of the range extender, and the ordinate represents the torque of the range extender. In Figure 2 , the point formed by the abscissa and the ordinate is the power generation point of the range extender (because the product of the speed and the torque of the range extender can obtain the power of the range extender).

[0037] wherein, Figure 2 different closed curves 11 are shown, the power points on each closed curve 11 have the same oil-electric conversion rate, and the power points in the same closed curve 11 have an oil-electric conversion rate higher than a certain oil-electric conversion rate. At this time, one closed curve 11 can represent one oil-electric conversion rate standard, and all power points in a specific closed curve 11 meet the oil-electric conversion rate standard corresponding to the specific closed curve 11. At this time, all power points in the same closed curve 11 will form a power range, so when the vehicle meets the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard, there will be a power range. As Figure 2 shown, a plurality of curves 12 represent power curves, the power points on the same curve 12 have the same power, and the power points in the closed curve 11 are between two specific curves 12, indicating that the power points corresponding to the closed curve 11 are located in a certain power range.

[0038] continue to combine Figure 2, curve 13 represents the NVH curve, the vibration noise decibel value of the range extender corresponding to the power point on the same curve 13 is equal, each curve 13 can represent the NVH standard of a vehicle. Therefore, the corresponding power range can be obtained through the specific NVH standard.

[0039] Of course, the above-mentioned manner is only one embodiment of determining the power range corresponding to the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard. In other application scenarios, the power range corresponding to each NVH standard and the power range corresponding to each oil-electric conversion rate standard can be directly preset according to the characteristics of the vehicle, and then the first power generation power can be finally determined.

[0040] In summary, based on the set first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard, the first power generation power of the vehicle meeting the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard can be determined. In some specific application scenarios, the power range corresponding to the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard can be determined respectively, and the intersection of the two power ranges is taken as the basic power generation power range. Of course, the power generation power of the vehicle when climbing needs to consider the influence of the demand power of the vehicle, and the power generation power generally needs to be greater than or equal to the demand power, and the demand power is mainly affected by the vehicle speed and the slope. Therefore, according to the demand power of the vehicle and the basic power generation power range, the first power generation power can be determined, and at this time the first power generation power can be a power range.

[0041] In some application scenarios, when the vehicle meets the first target NVH standard, the in-vehicle noise needs to be less than 55dB, and at this time there is a first power generation power range corresponding. When the vehicle meets the first oil-electric conversion rate standard, the oil-electric conversion rate needs to reach 3.2kWh / L, and at this time there is a second power generation power range corresponding. At this time, the intersection of the first power generation power range and the second power generation power range is taken as the basic power generation power range, and the first power generation power can be determined by further combining the demand power of the vehicle and some related factors.

[0042] S102: control the range extender of the vehicle to generate power at the first power generation power in the first sub-slope section, and determine the current remaining electric quantity of the vehicle after the vehicle travels through the first sub-slope section, and determine the electric quantity difference between the preset threshold electric quantity and the current remaining electric quantity when the current remaining electric quantity is lower than the preset threshold electric quantity.

[0043] After the first power generation is determined, the range extender of the vehicle can be controlled to generate power at the first power generation in the first sub-slope section. In combination with the above, if the first power generation is the power generation range, any power generation in the power generation range can be selected to generate power, or a preset selection rule can be set, and a certain power generation in the power generation range can be selected to generate power according to the preset selection rule. At this time, the NVH performance of the vehicle can meet the first target NVH standard with a high probability, and the oil-electricity conversion rate can meet the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard with a high probability.

[0044] After the vehicle travels through the first sub-slope section, the current residual amount of the vehicle is determined, and when the current residual amount is lower than the preset threshold amount, the amount difference between the preset threshold amount and the current residual amount is determined, so the amount difference is a positive value.

[0045] S103: Adjust the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard according to the amount difference to obtain a second target NVH standard and a second target oil-electricity conversion rate standard, determine a second power generation that meets the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electricity conversion rate standard, and control the range extender to generate power at the second power generation in a second sub-slope section of the preset slope section; wherein the second power generation is greater than the first power generation, the second sub-slope section starts at the end of the first sub-slope section, and the slope difference between the average slopes of the first sub-slope section and the second sub-slope section is less than a preset slope value.

[0046] It should be understood that the amount difference reflects the amount of the current residual amount, and the greater the amount difference, the lower the current residual amount. In this embodiment, different adjustment strategies can be used to adjust the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard to obtain the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electricity conversion rate standard when the current residual amount is in different ranges. Among them, adjusting the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electricity conversion rate can be adjusting any one or both of the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard, and when only one is adjusted, the other can be directly used as the second target NVH standard or the second target oil-electricity conversion rate standard.

[0047] After the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard are adjusted to obtain the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard, a second power generation power of the vehicle meeting the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard is determined, that is, a second power generation power of the vehicle meeting the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard in the second sub-slope section is determined, and the range extender is controlled to generate power in the second sub-slope section at the second power generation power. The determination of the second power generation power of the vehicle meeting the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard can refer to the description of the determination of the second power generation power of the vehicle meeting the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard. At this time, the second power generation power is greater than the first power generation power, which can make the power generation power of the vehicle in the second sub-slope section greater, and thus the vehicle can generate more electricity, and the power preservation performance of the vehicle is better. In combination with the above content, if the second power generation power is a power range, a power greater than the first power generation power can be determined from the power range as the second power generation power.

[0048] In summary, the power generation process on the slope simultaneously introduces the NVH standard and the oil-electric conversion rate standard, and the balance between the NVH and the oil-electric conversion rate can be achieved. Moreover, the adjustment of the NVH standard and / or the oil-electric conversion rate in the second sub-slope section is realized through the power generation in the first sub-slope section, which can take into account the NVH standard and the oil-electric conversion rate standard, and make the vehicle have better power preservation performance.

[0049] Figure 3 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the control method of the vehicle range extender provided in the present application.

[0050] In combination with Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, after the step of controlling the range extender to generate power in the second sub-slope section of the preset slope section at the second power generation power, that is, after the above step S103, the method further includes:

[0051] S201: determining the current remaining power of the vehicle and the average slope of the third sub-slope section of the preset slope section when the vehicle travels through the second sub-slope section; wherein the first sub-slope section, the second sub-slope section, and the third sub-slope section constitute the preset slope section.

[0052] The average slope difference of the first sub-slope section, the second sub-slope section, and the third sub-slope section can be less than the preset slope value described above. The lengths of the first sub-slope section, the second sub-slope section, and the third sub-slope section can be the same, or the length of the first sub-slope section can be set to be less than the lengths of the second sub-slope section and the third sub-slope section, but it is not limited thereto.

[0053] S202: If the current residual electric quantity is greater than or equal to the preset threshold electric quantity, and the average gradient of the third sub-slope section is less than the average gradient of the first sub-slope section, the basic power generation of the vehicle meeting the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard is determined, and the gradient compensation power is determined according to the average gradient of the third sub-slope section.

[0054] If the current residual electric quantity is greater than or equal to the preset threshold electric quantity, it means that the power generation of the range extender in the second sub-slope section is relatively large, and the electric quantity of the battery pack is not in a very low state. Moreover, the average gradient of the third sub-slope section is less than the average gradient of the first sub-slope section, so it is not necessary to generate power with a large power generation in the third sub-slope section. At this time, the basic power generation determined only meets the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard. However, in order to prevent the vehicle from having poor power preservation performance due to the low power generation caused by the basic power generation, the embodiment further compensates the power based on the average gradient of the third sub-slope section.

[0055] It should be understood that the determination manner of the basic power generation can be determined according to the existing power generation determination manner, and only the determination process needs to consider the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard, so that the basic power generation meets the two standards.

[0056] S203: Taking the power sum value of the basic power generation and the gradient compensation power as the target power generation, and controlling the range extender to generate power in the third sub-slope section with the target power generation.

[0057] After obtaining the basic power generation and the gradient compensation power, this step further takes the power sum value of the basic power generation and the gradient compensation power as the target power generation, and controls the range extender to generate power in the third sub-slope section with the target power generation, so that the vehicle can meet the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electricity conversion rate standard and has good power preservation performance.

[0058] Figure 4 is a flowchart of still another embodiment of the control method of the vehicle range extender provided in the present application.

[0059] In combination Figure 4 In some specific embodiments, after the steps of determining the current residual electric quantity of the vehicle and the average gradient of the third sub-slope section of the preset slope section when the vehicle travels through the second sub-slope section, i.e., after the above step S201, the method comprises:

[0060] S301: If the current residual electric quantity is less than the preset threshold electric quantity, and the average gradient of the third sub-slope section is greater than the average gradient of the second sub-slope section, the current driving style of the vehicle and the current power of the accessories of the vehicle are determined; wherein the driving style of the vehicle includes a preset gentle driving style and a preset intense driving style.

[0061] If the current residual electric quantity is less than the preset threshold electric quantity, it indicates that even if the power generation power is increased in the second sub-road section, the power generation quantity is still not much surplus, and the residual electric quantity of the vehicle is still small. Moreover, the average slope of the third sub-slope section is greater than the average slope of the second sub-slope section, and the power generation power required by the third sub-slope section should be higher.

[0062] The driving style of the vehicle includes a preset gentle driving style and a preset fierce driving style, which can be obtained by analyzing the driving behavior of the driver and is preset with a specific analysis method. The accessory of the vehicle can be a high-voltage accessory of the vehicle, for example, a compressor, a PTC heater and the like.

[0063] S302: If the current driving style is the preset fierce driving style, and the current power of the accessory is greater than the preset power, the current power of the accessory is controlled to be reduced.

[0064] In combination with the above, the current residual electric quantity of the vehicle is less than the preset threshold electric quantity, and the average slope of the third sub-slope section is greater than the average slope of the second sub-slope section, so that the power generation power of the vehicle in the third sub-slope section needs to be higher. Moreover, when the current driving style of the vehicle is the preset fierce driving style, the power consumption is higher than that in the preset gentle driving style. The preset power can be a relatively large power, and when the current power of the accessory is greater than the preset power, the current power of the accessory is relatively high.

[0065] Therefore, in the above case, the embodiment will control the current power of the accessory to be reduced, thereby reducing the power demand of the vehicle, and improving the power preservation performance of the vehicle.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, the step of adjusting the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard to obtain the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard according to the electric quantity difference includes: if the electric quantity difference is less than a preset electric quantity difference, reducing the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard to obtain the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard, and taking the first target NVH standard as the second target NVH standard.

[0067] It should be understood that when the electric quantity difference is less than the preset electric quantity difference, it indicates that although the current residual electric quantity is low, the current residual electric quantity will not be too low, at this time, only the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard is adjusted, and the first target NVH standard is not adjusted. In combination with the above, the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard is reduced to obtain the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard, and the first target NVH standard is taken as the second target NVH standard. Figure 2The innermost closed curve 11 represents the highest oil-electric conversion rate standard, and the outer closed curve 11 represents the oil-electric conversion rate standard gradually decreasing outward. Therefore, the power range corresponding to the lower oil-electric conversion rate standard is greater than and includes the power range corresponding to the higher oil-electric conversion rate standard, so the power range corresponding to the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard obtained after adjustment will be larger. At this time, the power range meeting the second target oil-electric conversion rate and the second target NVH standard will be larger, and then the second power generation power greater than the first power generation power can be obtained in the range.

[0068] In some embodiments, the step of adjusting the first target NVH standard and / or the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard to obtain the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard according to the power difference value includes: if the power difference value is greater than or equal to a preset power difference value, reducing the first target NVH standard to obtain the second target NVH standard, and taking the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard as the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard; or, if the power difference value is greater than or equal to the preset power difference value, reducing the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard to obtain the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard, respectively.

[0069] It should be understood that if the power difference value is greater than or equal to the preset power difference value, it means that the current remaining power is low, and at this time it is urgent to increase the power generation power of the range extender, so as to ensure that the remaining power of the vehicle is not too low. In this embodiment, the first target NVH standard is adjusted to obtain the second target NVH standard, and after adjusting the NVH standard, the power range corresponding to the NVH standard will change greatly, so that the power range determined by the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard will be larger, and then a larger second power generation power can be determined in the range, so that the range extender can generate more power to ensure the power preservation performance of the vehicle. In this embodiment, in addition to adjusting the first target NVH standard alone, the first target NVH standard and the first target oil-electric conversion rate standard can also be adjusted simultaneously.

[0070] Figure 5 is a flow diagram of another embodiment of the control method of the vehicle range extender provided by the present application.

[0071] In combination with Figure 5 In some embodiments, the step of controlling the range extender to generate power at the second power generation power in the second sub-slope section of the preset slope section includes:

[0072] S401: If the second power generation power is the target power range, control the range extender to generate power at the median power of the target power range in the second sub-slope section of the preset slope section in the first preset time period, and obtain the remaining power of the vehicle every preset time interval; wherein the power generation process of the second sub-slope section includes a plurality of preset time periods, and the preset time period includes a plurality of preset time intervals.

[0073] In combination with the above, when the second power meeting the second target NVH standard and the second target oil-electric conversion rate standard is within the target power range, a power within the target power range is selected to control the range extender to generate power. In this embodiment, the range extender generates power at the median power of the target power range in the first preset time period in the power generation process, and the residual power of the vehicle is obtained at intervals of a preset time length in the power generation process of the second sub-slope section.

[0074] S402: Determine the residual power change curve in the first preset time period based on the residual power, and predict the residual power change trend in the next preset time period based on the residual power change curve.

[0075] It should be understood that a plurality of combinations of residual power and time will be obtained in the first preset time period of the power generation process of the second sub-slope section, and the residual power change curve can be established according to these combinations. The residual power change curve shows the residual power change trend in the preset time period, which can actually predict the residual power change trend in the next preset time period. For example, if the residual power is gradually decreasing according to the residual power change curve, then the residual power change trend in the next preset time period can be a decreasing trend.

[0076] S403: When the residual power change trend is a decreasing trend, control the range extender to generate power at a power greater than the median power in the target power range in the subsequent preset time period.

[0077] When the residual power change trend is a decreasing trend, it means that if the current power generation power continues to be used for power generation, the residual power will gradually decrease in the subsequent stage. Based on this situation, in order to make the vehicle have good power preservation performance, the range extender is controlled to generate power at a power greater than the median power in the target power range in the subsequent preset time period in the power generation process of the second sub-slope section, thereby improving the power generation amount.

[0078] Figure 6 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the control method of the vehicle range extender provided by the present application.

[0079] In combination with the above, Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, the step of controlling the range extender of the vehicle to generate power at the first power in the first sub-slope section includes:

[0080] S501: If the first power is within the power generation power range, obtain the average slope of the first sub-slope section.

[0081] In combination with the above, the first power generation power satisfying the first target NVH standard and the first oil-electric conversion rate standard can be a power generation power range, and the specific power generation power is selected in the power generation power range by introducing the slope section factor.

[0082] S502: If the average slope of the first sub-slope section is greater than the preset slope, controlling the range extender of the vehicle to generate power at the maximum power generation power in the power generation power range.

[0083] When the average slope of the first sub-slope section is greater than the preset slope, it indicates that the average slope of the first sub-slope section is large, and at this time the vehicle needs to generate power at a higher power generation power, and at this time the range extender of the vehicle is controlled to generate power at the maximum power generation power in the power generation power range.

[0084] Figure 7 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the control method of the vehicle range extender provided in the present application.

[0086] S601: If the front driving road of the vehicle is a preset slope section, determining the predicted power consumption of the vehicle in the first sub-slope section and the current residual power of the vehicle.

[0087] Specifically, assuming that the vehicle is at the starting point of the preset slope section, the length of the first sub-slope section, the slope section, and the configuration of the vehicle can be obtained, and then the predicted power consumption of the vehicle in the first sub-slope section can be predicted according to these information, and the current residual power of the vehicle can be directly obtained.

[0088] S602: According to the current residual power and the predicted power consumption, predicting the predicted residual power of the vehicle after driving through the first sub-slope section.

[0089] By subtracting the predicted power consumption from the current residual power, the predicted residual power of the vehicle after driving through the first sub-slope section can be directly obtained.

[0090] S603: If the predicted residual power is less than a preset threshold power, it is determined that the first sub-slope section of the preset slope section of the vehicle needs to generate power.

[0091] If the predicted residual power is less than the preset threshold power, it indicates that the vehicle will reach the starting power of the range extender in the first sub-slope section, and the range extender needs to start power generation, and then it is determined that the first sub-slope section of the preset slope section of the vehicle needs to generate power.
