[0049] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electric power take-off control device provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. This application provides an electric power take-off (EPO) control method and apparatus, which relates to the field of vehicle technology. The above are merely examples and do not limit the application field of the method and apparatus provided in this application.

[0051] With the rapid development of intelligent connected vehicle technology, intelligent and networked control of vehicles has become an important direction for future automotive technology. As a key component of the vehicle's power transmission system, the electric power take-off (EPT) directly affects the vehicle's power output and operating efficiency. However, traditional EPT control methods mainly rely on local control, lacking real-time monitoring and remote management capabilities, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern intelligent transportation systems.

[0052] In existing technologies, the operating status of electric power take-offs is usually monitored locally through on-board diagnostics (OBD) systems or simple sensors. This makes it impossible to achieve seamless connection with vehicle networking platforms or remote control via mobile terminals such as smartphones. When a fault occurs or parameters need to be adjusted, on-site operation by technicians is usually required, resulting in low maintenance efficiency of electric power take-offs.

[0053] The inventors, through research, proposed the technical solution of this application. First, they collect the operating status data of the electric power take-off (PTO). Then, they upload this data to a smart central gateway. Next, through the smart central gateway, the operating status data is uploaded to a cloud server, allowing the user terminal to receive the data. Finally, in response to user control operations on the PTO based on the operating status data, a control command is generated to control the PTO. In this way, through the smart central gateway and the cloud server, the operating status data of the PTO can be uploaded to the user terminal. Users can then issue control commands to the PTO based on this data, achieving remote control and thus improving the maintenance efficiency of the PTO.

[0054] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.

[0055] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of an electric power take-off (EPO) control method provided in this application embodiment includes:

[0056] S101: Collects operating status data of the electric power take-off.

[0057] The electric power take-off (EPT) is equipped with multiple sensors to collect its operating status data, including but not limited to speed, operating current, operating voltage, temperature, load status, and running time. This operating status data is in CAN or LIN format.

[0058] S102: Upload the operating status data to the intelligent central gateway.

[0059] After multiple sensors integrated on the electric power take-off (EPT) collect the EPT's motion status data, the data is uploaded to the intelligent central gateway. This intelligent central gateway supports various network communication protocols, such as cellular, Bluetooth, and CAN communication. It receives and parses remote control commands, and simultaneously collects and processes the EPT's operating status data, transmitting it via wireless network to a cloud server to achieve data transmission between the EPT and the user terminal.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, intelligent decision-making and optimization can be performed using a smart central gateway. Specifically, based on collected operational status data, the data processing module in the smart central gateway can perform real-time analysis. Employing fuzzy control algorithms, PID control algorithms, multi-objective optimization algorithms, etc., combined with preset control logic and optimization algorithms, it automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the electric power take-off (EPTO) to achieve efficient and safe operation. Fuzzy input variables are constructed based on sensor data (such as temperature, speed, and load). A fuzzy rule base is established based on the motor efficiency map. For example, if the load is high and the temperature is high, the speed is reduced to decrease energy consumption; if the speed is low and the load is stable, the torque output is increased to optimize efficiency. The data processing module generates optimization control commands, such as speed adjustment amounts and torque values, and sends these commands to the EPTO to adjust its operating status in real time.

[0061] S103: Uploads operational status data to the cloud server via the intelligent central gateway.

[0062] Through the intelligent central gateway, the operational status data is uploaded to the cloud server. This cloud server is a cloud computing-based server that can be remotely accessed and managed via the Internet. At the same time, the cloud server can also provide a variety of services, including website hosting, database management, application deployment, etc., to meet various user needs.

[0063] S104: In response to the user's control operation on the electric power take-off based on the operating status data on the user terminal, generate control commands.

[0064] By utilizing a cloud server, operational status data can be uploaded to the user terminal in real time. This allows users to view the operating status of the electric power take-off (EPO) and remotely adjust its operating parameters through the platform interface. These parameters include, but are not limited to, load limits and running time. The user terminal's functions include: displaying EPO operational data in graphical or textual form; pushing fault warnings and providing preliminary fault solutions; and allowing users to adjust the EPO's operating parameters as needed. Users can control the EPO based on the operational status data on the user terminal, generating control commands, including start / stop and time adjustment commands, which are used to control the EPO.

[0065] The specific control method of the electric power take-off (EPO) using control commands is as follows: The user terminal uploads the control commands to the cloud server so that the intelligent central gateway receives the control commands and sends them to the ETO through the intelligent control gateway, so that the ETO adjusts its operating parameters based on the control commands.

[0066] In the embodiments provided in this application, the operating status data of the electric power take-off (EPO) is first collected, then uploaded to a smart central gateway. Next, the smart central gateway uploads the operating status data to a cloud server, enabling the user terminal to receive the data. Finally, in response to the user's control operation on the ETO based on the operating status data, a control command is generated to control the ETO. In this way, through the smart central gateway and the cloud server, the operating status data of the ETO can be uploaded to the user terminal, allowing the user to issue control commands to the ETO remotely, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the ETO.
