[0043] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure or the prior art, the accompanying drawings needed to be used in the embodiments or prior art description will be briefly introduced. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, other drawings can also be obtained from these drawings without creative labor.

[0044] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure, but the present disclosure can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all the embodiments.

[0045] In the related art, the power economy simulation of a vehicle is usually performed using Cruise software, and a hybrid vehicle model needs to use Simulink to add system logic and vehicle control strategy on the basis of the Cruise model, and joint simulation is performed using Simulink and Cruise. The joint simulation using two kinds of software needs to be debugged, and the models of different vehicles also need to be set up separately. The parameter settings of the two software are complex, the compatibility of the joint simulation of multiple software is not good, and the system is prone to errors during operation. In addition, the joint simulation operation is relatively complex, and it is difficult for an operator to master, which is not conducive to practical application.

[0046] To solve at least one of the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a hybrid vehicle power economy simulation model and simulation method based on AMESim, wherein simulation modeling is performed using AMESim. The obtained simulation model includes a parameter module, a control module, and an execution module, and the control module is connected with the parameter module and the execution module. The parameter module is used to set first type simulation parameters, the execution module is used to set second type simulation parameters, and the control module is used to set a control strategy. The simulation model executes the control strategy based on the first type simulation parameters and the second type simulation parameters, and obtains corresponding power economy simulation results. The control strategy does not need to be set using other software, joint debugging is not needed using multiple software, the strategy is convenient to modify and adjust, is not prone to errors, there is no compatibility problem caused by joint debugging, and the accuracy is high.

[0047] The hybrid vehicle power economy simulation model and simulation method based on AMESim provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Exemplarily, Figure 1 A structure diagram of a hybrid vehicle power economy simulation model based on AMESim provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in Figure 1 The hybrid vehicle power economy simulation model based on AMESim is simulated using AMESim. The simulation model includes a parameter module 10, a control module 20, and an execution module 30, and the control module 20 is connected with the parameter module 10 and the execution module 30.

[0049] The parameter module 10 is used to set first type simulation parameters, the first type simulation parameters include environment parameters, vehicle parameters, and driver parameters. The control module 20 is used to set a control strategy. The execution module 30 is used to set second type simulation parameters, and the second type simulation parameters include parameters of controlled terminals in a hybrid vehicle. The simulation model executes the control strategy based on the first type simulation parameters and the second type simulation parameters, and obtains corresponding power economy simulation results.

[0050] Exemplarily, the embodiment of the present disclosure utilizes AMESim to perform simulation modeling, and the simulation model obtained includes a parameter module 10, a control module 20 and an execution module 30, and the control module 20 is connected with the parameter module 10 and the execution module 30 respectively. The parameter module 10 is used to set the first type of simulation parameters, and the setting includes writing the first type of simulation parameters and modifying the first type of simulation parameters. For example, in the early stage of simulation, the parameter module 10 can directly write the first type of simulation parameters, and if the first type of simulation parameters need to be changed according to actual requirements during the simulation process, the parameter module 10 can also be used to modify the first type of simulation parameters for subsequent simulation operations. The first type of simulation parameters include environmental parameters, vehicle parameters and driver parameters. By setting the above parameters, the environment of the vehicle running, the objective parameters of the vehicle and the different running conditions corresponding to the driver controlling the vehicle can be simulated, so that the simulation effect is closer to the actual vehicle corresponding to the application scene.

[0051] The control module 20 is used to set the control strategy. Unlike the prior art which needs to use multiple software joint debugging to realize the input of the strategy, the embodiment of the present disclosure can directly write the control strategy through the control module 20, or modify the written control strategy according to actual requirements.

[0052] The execution module 30 is used to set the second type of simulation parameters, and the setting includes writing the second type of simulation parameters and modifying the second type of simulation parameters. For example, in the early stage of simulation, the execution module 30 directly writes the second type of simulation parameters, and if the second type of simulation parameters need to be modified during the simulation process, the execution module 30 can also be used to modify the operation for subsequent simulation operations. The second type of simulation parameters include the parameters of the controlled terminal in the hybrid vehicle, and the specific types are described in detail below.

[0053] Therefore, the simulation model can be closer to the actual vehicle parameters based on the first type of simulation parameters and the second type of simulation parameters, and then the control strategy is executed to obtain the corresponding power economy simulation result. The power economy refers to the ability of the vehicle to economically travel with the least fuel consumption under the condition of ensuring the power, and is usually measured by the fuel consumption of the vehicle per 100 kilometers under a certain running condition or the mileage of the vehicle that can be traveled with a certain amount of fuel. Without using multiple software joint simulation, a single software can be directly used for simulation, and the control logic and parameters can be set. Different energy modes such as pure electric mode, hybrid mode, range extending mode or direct drive mode can also be simulated through a single model, which greatly improves the problem of poor compatibility, easy to report errors and complex operation in the existing scheme of multiple software joint simulation.

[0054] The simulation model provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can directly write the control strategy, does not need to use multiple software for joint debugging, and is convenient to modify and adjust the strategy, is not prone to errors, does not exist compatibility problems generated by joint debugging, and has high accuracy.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 2 Another structure schematic diagram of the AMESim-based hybrid vehicle power economy simulation model provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is provided, referring to Figure 2 The parameter module includes an environment parameter module 11, a vehicle parameter module 12, and a driver parameter module 13, and the environment parameter module 11, the vehicle parameter module 12, and the driver parameter module 13 are all communicatively connected to the control module 20.

[0056] The environment parameter module 11 is configured to set environment parameters, and the environment parameters at least include temperature, air pressure, road slope, and road adhesion coefficient.

[0057] The vehicle parameter module 12 is configured to set vehicle parameters, and the vehicle parameters at least include curb weight, test mass, wind resistance coefficient, windward area, tire width, rim diameter, tire flatness ratio, tire rolling resistance coefficient, and front-to-rear axle load ratio.

[0058] The driver parameter module 13 is configured to set driver parameters, and the driver parameters at least include test working conditions and throttle response parameters.

[0059] Exemplarily, the parameter module includes an environment parameter module 11 for setting environment parameters, such as at least temperature, air pressure, road slope and road adhesion coefficient. The environment parameters are used to reflect the environment in which the vehicle is located. The environment parameters can be written or modified by the environment parameter module 11, such as setting the corresponding temperature, air pressure, road slope and corresponding road adhesion coefficient of the environment in which the vehicle is located to simulate the corresponding environment when the vehicle is working, so as to more accurately perform simulation testing. The parameter module further includes a vehicle parameter module 12 for setting vehicle parameters, such as at least vehicle mass, test mass, wind resistance coefficient, wind area, tire width, rim diameter, tire flatness ratio, tire rolling resistance coefficient and front and rear axle load ratio. The vehicle parameters are used to reflect the objective parameters of the vehicle. The vehicle parameters can be written or modified by the vehicle parameter module 12, such as the vehicle parameters of different types of vehicles will be different, and the vehicle parameter module 12 can be adjusted during simulation, such as changing the vehicle mass, directly modifying the vehicle mass, and if the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle changes, modifying the wind resistance coefficient without the need to obtain a simulation model again. The parameter module further includes a driver parameter module 13 for setting driver parameters, such as at least test conditions and throttle response parameters, which are both boundary conditions of the vehicle. Among them, by setting the test conditions, the driving conditions of the vehicle can be simulated, such as accelerating driving at what time, decelerating driving at what time, and sudden acceleration or sudden deceleration at what time, etc., so as to obtain the endurance information of the vehicle. The above test conditions are all the conditions specified in the regulations. The throttle response can be adjusted by setting the throttle response.

[0060] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not make specific limitations on the types of parameters in the parameter module, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0061] In some embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 2 , the control module includes an electronic control unit 21 and a vehicle control unit 22; the electronic control unit 21 and the vehicle control unit 22 are both communicatively connected to the parameter module 10 and the execution module 20.

[0062] The electronic control unit 21 is used to set the control strategy of the engine, including controlling the start and stop of the engine.

[0063] The vehicle control unit 22 is used to set the vehicle control strategy, including controlling the energy recovery and the battery charge and discharge power.

[0064] Exemplarily, the control module includes an electronic control unit 21, which is the core of the vehicle engine control system, and in the simulation model, the electronic control unit 21 is used to set the control strategy of the engine, without using other software to set the control strategy of the engine, and the setting of the control strategy of the engine can be completed by using the AMESim software. After setting the control strategy of the engine by using the electronic control unit 21, the start and stop of the engine can be controlled based on the control strategy of the engine, so as to simulate the start and stop of the engine in the actual operation process of the vehicle. For example, different commands can be sent to the injectors, relays, valves, servo motors and other actuators of the vehicle, so as to control different functions and systems in the vehicle, and the fuel injection rate can also be adjusted according to the engine load and speed. The control module further includes a vehicle control unit 22, which is used to set the vehicle control strategy, and the setting of the vehicle control strategy can also be completed by using the AMESim software without using other software. After setting the vehicle control strategy by using the vehicle control unit 22, the energy recovery and the battery charging and discharging power can be controlled based on the vehicle control strategy. The setting mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure also includes writing and modifying the corresponding control strategy, which can be set by using the AMESim software in the simulation model, so as to avoid the problems of poor compatibility, complex operation and easy error caused by multi-software joint debugging.

[0065] In some embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 2 , the execution module at least includes an engine module 301; the engine module 301 is used to set the external characteristics, fuel consumption spectrum and friction work of the engine.

[0066] Exemplarily, the execution module further comprises an engine module 301, which is configured to set parameters of the engine, such as writing or modifying parameters of external characteristics, fuel consumption spectrum, and friction work, etc. When the external characteristics are set by the engine module 301, the shape and distribution of the specific fuel consumption curve and the specific power curve can be changed by adjusting parameters such as the intake amount, the fuel injection amount, and the ignition timing of the engine, so that the performance of the engine in the entire working range is optimized. For example, the engine is in a low fuel consumption and high power state under normal working conditions to meet the power and economy requirements of the vehicle. The fuel consumption spectrum reflects the fuel economy of the engine under various working conditions such as speed and load, and the engine module 301 sets the fuel consumption spectrum according to the design target and actual use demand of the engine to determine the fuel injection amount and injection timing of the engine under different working conditions, thereby optimizing the fuel consumption of the engine. In addition, the engine module 301 can also set the friction work, for example, by controlling the pressure and flow of lubricating oil to ensure good lubrication between moving parts and reduce friction loss. Reducing the friction work can improve the mechanical efficiency of the engine, reduce energy loss, and thus improve the overall performance and fuel economy of the engine. The type of engine parameters set by the embodiments of the present disclosure is not specifically limited, but is only exemplified.

[0067] In some embodiments, with continued reference to Figure 2 , the execution module further comprises a power battery module 302 and a generator module 303, the power battery module 302 is in communication connection with the engine module 301 and the generator module 303, the power battery module 302 is further in electrical connection with the generator module 303, and the generator module 303 is further in mechanical connection with the engine module 301; the power battery module 302 is configured to set parameters of the power battery, and the parameters of the power battery at least include the single cell voltage, the series and parallel connection number, and the internal resistance of the battery; and the generator module 303 is configured to set the external characteristics and the power generation efficiency spectrum of the generator.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the execution module further comprises a power battery module 302 and a generator module 303, wherein the power battery module 302 is in communication connection with the engine module 301 and the generator module 303, for example, data interaction can be performed through a CAN bus or a LIN bus, etc., so that the three modules communicate and work cooperatively to realize switching of different working modes in the hybrid electric vehicle. The power battery module 302 is further in electrical connection with the generator module 303, and the generator module 303 is further in mechanical connection with the engine module 301. The generator module 303 can charge the power battery module 302 under the drive of the engine module 301, and the power battery module 302 can provide electric energy for various electric loads and driving motors of the vehicle. The engine module 301 can also provide power for the vehicle to determine the driving of the vehicle.

[0069] The power battery module 302 can manage and control the power battery, and various parameters of the power battery can be set through the module to meet different needs of the vehicle. For example, the power battery parameters at least include the single cell voltage of the power battery, the series and parallel number, and the battery internal resistance. The power battery is composed of a plurality of single cell batteries, and the single cell voltage refers to the voltage value of each single cell battery, and the voltage of different types of single cell batteries is different. The power battery module 302 can adjust the single cell voltage according to the actual needs to meet the voltage demand of the current working condition.

[0070] In addition, each single cell battery in the power battery needs to be combined in series and parallel to meet the needs of the vehicle for different voltages, currents and capacities. For example, series connection can increase the total voltage of the power battery, and parallel connection can increase the total capacity and output current of the power battery. Therefore, the power battery module 302 can set the series and parallel number of the power battery according to the running condition of the vehicle, optimize the performance of the power battery, and meet the power demand of the vehicle.

[0071] The battery internal resistance will affect the charging and discharging efficiency, output power and heating of the power battery. Generally, the smaller the battery internal resistance, the better the performance of the battery, the greater the output power, and the smaller the energy loss in the charging and discharging process. Therefore, the power battery module 302 can also monitor the change of the battery internal resistance, and adjust the working state of the power battery through the control strategy to reduce the influence of the internal resistance on the performance of the battery.

[0072] In some embodiments, the execution module 30 further comprises a direct current conversion power supply module 304, a high-voltage load module 305 and a low-voltage load module 306, the high-voltage load module 305 and the direct current conversion power supply module 304 are electrically connected with the power battery module 302, and the low-voltage load module 306 is electrically connected with the direct current conversion power supply module 304; the direct current conversion power supply module 304 is used to set the efficiency of high-low voltage conversion; the high-voltage load module 305 is used to set the load of high-voltage electrical devices; and the low-voltage load module 306 is used to set the load of low-voltage electrical devices.

[0073] For example, the execution module 30 further comprises a direct current conversion power supply module 304, such as a module for conversion between high voltage and low voltage. The high-voltage load module 305 and the direct current conversion power supply module 304 are electrically connected with the power battery module 302, and the high voltage output by the power battery module 302 can power the high-voltage load module 305. The direct current conversion power supply module 304 is electrically connected with the low-voltage load 306, and the direct current conversion power supply module 304 can convert high voltage to low voltage, and then provide low voltage to the low-voltage load module 306.

[0074] The DC conversion power module 304 is used to set the efficiency of high-low voltage conversion to reduce energy loss and improve the ratio of output useful electrical energy to input electrical energy. For example, the DC conversion power module 304 can write or modify control algorithms, reduce energy loss, or set parameters of various devices in the circuit structure, etc. The high-voltage load module 305 is used to set the load of high-voltage electrical devices, which are electrical devices that work in a high-voltage environment, such as air compressors, PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient, heater), etc. By setting the load of high-voltage electrical devices through the high-voltage load module 305, the safety of high-voltage electrical devices can be protected, and damage or performance degradation caused by excessive or insufficient load during operation can be prevented. For example, the parameters of resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc. can be set through the high-voltage load module 305, or the connection mode of the load can be changed to achieve the purpose of changing the voltage, current and power of the high-voltage electrical devices. Similarly, the low-voltage load module 306 is used to set the load of low-voltage electrical devices, which are electrical devices that work at relatively low voltage, such as small electronic devices, lighting devices, etc. By setting the load of low-voltage electrical devices through the low-voltage load module 306, the low-voltage electrical devices can be ensured to operate stably under different working conditions, and abnormal problems caused by mismatched load can be avoided. For example, the parameters of resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc. can be set through the low-voltage load module 306, or the connection mode of the load can be changed to achieve the purpose of changing the voltage, current and power of the low-voltage electrical devices.

[0075] In some embodiments, the execution module 30 further includes a first drive motor module 307 and a reducer module 308; the first drive motor module 307 is electrically connected with the power battery module 302, and the reducer module 308 is mechanically connected with the first drive motor module 307.

[0076] The first drive motor module 307 is used to set the external characteristics and efficiency spectrum of the first drive motor.

[0077] The reducer module 308 is used to set the efficiency of the reduction mechanism.

[0078] Exemplarily, the execution module 30 further includes a first drive motor module 307 and a reducer module 308, the power battery module 302 is electrically connected with the first drive motor module 307 to provide the required electrical energy for the first drive motor. The reducer module 308 is mechanically connected with the first drive motor module 307, because the demand for power of the vehicle is different under different driving speeds and road conditions, the reducer module 308 can cooperate with the first drive motor module 307 to make the vehicle obtain appropriate power output under various working conditions, and ensure the acceleration performance, maximum speed and other power of the vehicle.

[0079] The first driving motor module 307 is configured to set the external characteristics and efficiency spectrum of the first driving motor. Setting the external characteristics can be understood as writing or modifying the operating parameter relationship of the first driving motor under different rotating speeds and loads. For example, the first driving motor can be configured to output appropriate torque within a specific rotating speed range according to the design requirements of the vehicle, so as to meet the requirements of different driving conditions such as vehicle starting, acceleration and cruising, and to ensure that the motor is well matched with the transmission system, driving resistance and other conditions of the vehicle under various operating conditions, thereby ensuring the power performance and driving experience of the vehicle. Setting the efficiency spectrum is to write or modify the efficiency distribution of the motor under different working conditions (such as different rotating speeds, torques, loads, etc.), so as to optimize the energy conversion efficiency of the first driving motor under different operating conditions. For example, in the urban traffic jam, the vehicle drives at low speed, and the first driving motor module 307 can adjust the operating state of the first driving motor, so that it also has good efficiency at low rotating speed and low load; when cruising at high speed, the first driving motor can maintain high efficiency at high rotating speed and appropriate load, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the vehicle and prolonging the cruising range.

[0080] In some embodiments, the execution module 30 further comprises a clutch mechanism module 309, a gearbox module 310 and a second driving motor module 311; the second driving motor module 311 is electrically connected with the power battery module 302, the clutch mechanism module 309 is mechanically connected with the engine module 301, the generator module 303 and the gearbox module 310, and the gearbox module 310 is mechanically connected with the second driving motor module 311; the clutch mechanism module 309 is configured to control the connection between the engine and the gearbox. The gearbox module 310 is configured to set at least gear ratio. The second driving motor module 311 is configured to set the external characteristics and efficiency spectrum of the second driving motor.

[0081] Exemplarily, in the execution module 30, the second driving motor module 311 is electrically connected with the power battery module 302, and the power battery module 302 provides the second driving motor with required electric energy. The clutch mechanism module 309 is mechanically connected with the engine module 301, the generator module 303 and the gearbox module 310, and based on this structure, the clutch mechanism module 309 is used to control the disconnection and coupling of the connection between the engine and the gearbox, thereby controlling whether the power of the engine is transmitted to the gearbox. For example, when the clutch pedal is depressed, the mechanism inside the clutch mechanism module 309 will act, at this time, the power of the engine cannot be transmitted to the input shaft of the gearbox through the clutch, thereby disconnecting the power transmission between the engine and the gearbox. It is usually used in the case of gear shifting before the vehicle starts, gear shifting operation and emergency power cut-off (such as emergency braking). When the clutch pedal is released, the power of the engine can be transmitted to the input shaft of the gearbox through the friction of the clutch, and then transmitted to the entire gearbox and the wheels, realizing the power coupling between the engine and the gearbox, so that the vehicle can obtain power to drive. During normal driving of the vehicle, the clutch is in the coupling state, and the power of the engine is continuously and stably transmitted to the gearbox to maintain the movement of the vehicle.

[0082] The gearbox module 310 is used to set the speed ratio, that is, the transmission ratio between different gear sets in the gearbox can be adjusted and set according to the driving state of the vehicle and the operation of the driver and other factors to meet the needs of the vehicle in different working conditions.

[0083] The second driving motor module 311 is used to set the external characteristics and efficiency spectrum of the second driving motor. Similarly, setting the external characteristics can be understood as writing or modifying the operating parameter relationship of the second driving motor under different speeds and loads, so that the second driving motor outputs appropriate torque according to the design requirements of the vehicle to meet the requirements of the vehicle in different driving conditions such as starting, accelerating and cruising. The second driving motor can be well matched with the transmission system and driving resistance of the vehicle under various operating conditions, and the power performance and driving experience of the vehicle are ensured. And setting the efficiency spectrum is to write or modify the efficiency distribution of the motor under different working conditions (such as different speeds, torques, loads, etc.), so as to optimize the energy conversion efficiency of the second driving motor under different working conditions.

[0084] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 2 The simulation model further includes a front axle 41 and a rear axle 42; the front axle 41 is mechanically connected with the second driving motor module 311, and the rear axle 42 is mechanically connected with the first driving motor module 307.

[0085] Exemplarily, the front axle 41 is mechanically connected with the second driving motor module 311, and the power generated by the second driving motor module 311 is transmitted to the front axle 41 through a mechanical transmission device, so as to drive the front wheels of the vehicle to rotate. Similarly, the rear axle 42 is mechanically connected with the first driving motor module 307, and the power generated by the first driving motor module 307 is transmitted to the rear axle 42 through a mechanical transmission device, so as to drive the rear wheels of the vehicle to rotate. In different driving conditions, the output torque and rotating speed of the first driving motor module 307 and the second driving motor module 311 can be accurately adjusted according to actual requirements, so as to realize reasonable distribution of the power of the front and rear axles. Moreover, the first driving motor module 307 and the second driving motor module 311 respectively drive the front and rear axles, the power output is stronger, and the operation stability is also improved.
