Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electric vehicle control technology, and in particular to a wheel speed difference control method and system, a vehicle controller, an electric vehicle, and a medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, energy recovery technology has become a key means to improve vehicle range. When a vehicle is coasting or braking, the drive motor switches from electric to generator mode, producing a counter-draft torque in the opposite direction of wheel rotation, thereby converting the vehicle's kinetic energy into electrical energy and storing it in the battery. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The inventors discovered a significant problem with the wheel speed difference control strategy in related technologies: during the application or increase of anti-drag torque, unexpected wheel speed differences may arise between the drive wheels (usually the rear wheels) and the steering wheels (usually the front wheels) due to factors such as vehicle load transfer, changes in road surface adhesion coefficient, or excessively rapid torque request. When this wheel speed difference exceeds the preset threshold of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller, the ABS misinterprets it as wheel lock-up and slippage, thus activating. After activation, the ABS sends an activation signal to the vehicle control unit (VCU) via the CAN network. To ensure safety, the VCU immediately instructs the drive motor to clear or significantly reduce the anti-drag torque. This process in related technologies leads to the following technical problems: the energy recovery process is suddenly interrupted, significantly reducing the vehicle's energy recovery efficiency and shortening the driving range.

[0060] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit this disclosure or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0061] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0062] At the same time, it should be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the accompanying drawings are not drawn according to actual scale.

[0063] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0064] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0065] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0066] The inventors discovered through research that when the wheel speed difference exceeds the preset threshold of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) controller, the ABS misinterprets it as a lock-up slippage of the drive wheels and is thus activated. This process leads to two main computational problems: First, the energy recovery process is abruptly interrupted, significantly reducing the overall energy recovery efficiency of the vehicle and shortening the driving range. Second, the instantaneous loss of anti-drag torque causes a noticeable jerkiness in the vehicle, severely affecting the smoothness and comfort of the ride.

[0067] Related technologies typically focus on safety responses after ABS is triggered, or simply limit the maximum recovery torque, but lack preventative control mechanisms to proactively identify and suppress wheel speed differences before ABS is triggered, thus failing to balance recovery efficiency and comfort while ensuring safety.

[0068] The present disclosure will now be described through specific embodiments.

[0069] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of the wheel speed difference control method of this disclosure. Preferably, this embodiment can be executed by the vehicle controller of this disclosure, the electric vehicle of this disclosure, or the wheel speed difference control system of this disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 11 to 15.

[0070] In step 11, the current vehicle speed, the current wheel speed, and the current actual output torque of the motor are obtained.

[0071] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the current vehicle speed is the current speed of the electric vehicle.

[0072] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the current wheel speed is the wheel speed of all four wheels of the electric vehicle.

[0073] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the current actual output torque of the motor is the current actual output torque of the drive motor.

[0074] The present invention discloses an electric vehicle wheel speed difference control method designed in the above embodiments, which is executed by the vehicle controller (VCU), and its input signals include: vehicle speed, wheel speed of the four wheels, and the current actual output torque of the drive motor.

[0075] In step 12, the wheel speed difference between the drive wheel and the follower wheel is calculated based on the current wheel speed.

[0076] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 12 may include at least one of steps 121 to 123.

[0077] In step 121, the wheel speed of the drive wheel is determined based on the average wheel speed of the two drive wheels.

[0078] In step 122, the speed of the follower wheel is determined based on the average speed of the two follower wheels.

[0079] In step 123, the wheel speed difference is determined based on the difference between the speed of the driving wheel and the speed of the follower wheel.

[0080] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 12 may include: for a rear-wheel drive electric vehicle, the VCU calculates in real time the wheel speed difference (ΔV) between the drive wheel (the average speed of the left and right wheels of the rear axle) and the follower wheel (the average speed of the left and right wheels of the front axle).

[0081] In step 13, based on the current vehicle speed and the wheel speed difference, it is determined whether to activate the torque pull-back function.

[0082] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the torque pull-back function can be manifested through a torque pull-back signal.

[0083] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 13 may include at least one of steps 131 to 132.

[0084] In step 131, the torque pull-back function is activated when the current vehicle speed and the wheel speed difference meet the activation conditions. The activation conditions include either a first activation condition or a second activation condition. The first activation condition is that the current vehicle speed is less than a predetermined vehicle speed and the absolute value of the wheel speed difference is greater than a first predetermined wheel speed difference. The second activation condition is that the current vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a predetermined vehicle speed and the absolute value of the wheel speed difference is greater than a first predetermined proportion of the current vehicle speed. The first predetermined proportion is greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0085] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the predetermined vehicle speed may be 40 km / h.

[0086] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first predetermined wheel speed difference may be 2 km / h.

[0087] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first predetermined ratio may be 5%.

[0088] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first activation condition may be the current vehicle speed V < 40 km / h and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| > 2 km / h.

[0089] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second activation condition can be the current vehicle speed V≥40km / h and the wheel speed difference |ΔV|>V×5%.

[0090] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the activation condition may be: the torque pull-back function is activated if any of the following conditions are met.

[0091] 1. The current vehicle speed V < 40 km / h, and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| > 2 km / h.

[0092] 2. The current vehicle speed V≥40km / h, and the wheel speed difference |ΔV|>V×5%.

[0093] The embodiments disclosed above enhance the adaptability and reliability of the system, and can make judgments based on adaptive thresholds of vehicle speed, so that the strategy can maintain good control performance under various operating conditions at high and low speeds.

[0094] In step 132, if the current vehicle speed and the wheel speed difference do not meet the activation condition, the torque pull-back function is not activated.

[0095] In step 14, when the torque pullback function is activated, the target anti-drag torque is determined based on the motor's current actual output torque and the pullback coefficient K.

[0096] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 14 may include: when the torque pullback function is activated, determining the target anti-drag torque based on the product of the motor's current actual output torque and the pullback coefficient K.

[0097] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 14 may include: determining the target anti-drag torque according to formula (1) when the torque pull-back function is activated.

[0098] Target requested torque = motor current actual output torque × (pull-back coefficient K) (1)

[0099] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the pullback coefficient K is greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0100] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the pullback coefficient K = 0.7. In the above embodiments of this disclosure, the VCU requests the motor to pull back at 70% of the current output torque, that is, reduces the requested anti-drag torque instead of directly resetting it to zero, thereby achieving smooth intervention.

[0101] In step 15, the target anti-drag torque is requested from the motor controller.

[0102] The embodiments disclosed above design a feedback control logic based on wheel speed difference. When it is detected that the wheel speed difference is increasing to the point of triggering ABS, it actively intervenes and pulls back the current torque proportionally, so as to control the wheel speed difference within a certain safe range.

[0103] The present disclosure provides a method for controlling wheel speed difference in electric vehicles. This method monitors vehicle speed and wheel speed in real time, dynamically adjusts the gradient and magnitude of the anti-drag torque request for energy recovery, and actively suppresses the excessively rapid increase in the wheel speed difference between the drive wheels and the follower wheels. This effectively avoids false triggering of the ABS system and achieves a simultaneous improvement in energy recovery efficiency and driving comfort.

[0104] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of some other embodiments of the wheel speed difference control method of this disclosure. Preferably, this embodiment can be executed by the vehicle controller of this disclosure, the electric vehicle of this disclosure, or the wheel speed difference control system of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The method of the embodiment may include at least one of steps 10, 11 to 17. Figure 2 Steps 11 to 15 of the embodiment are respectively with Figure 1 Steps 11 to 15 of the embodiment are the same or similar.

[0105] In step 10, energy recovery begins.

[0106] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 10 may include: upon detecting an energy recovery start signal, determining the magnitude of the torque increase gradient based on the range of the target anti-drag torque; and increasing the target anti-drag torque based on the magnitude of the torque increase gradient, wherein the torque increase gradient is the magnitude of the target anti-drag torque increased within a predetermined time period.

[0107] The embodiments described above can determine different torque-increasing gradients based on different target anti-drag torques.

[0108] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the energy recovery activation signal may include at least one of an accelerator pedal release signal and a brake pedal light depress signal.

[0109] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 10 may include: when the driver releases the accelerator pedal or lightly presses the brake pedal to trigger energy recovery, the VCU requests a target anti-drag torque from the motor controller (MCU), the change of which follows a preset nonlinear gradient.

[0110] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 10, which involves determining the magnitude of the torque-increasing gradient based on the range of the target anti-drag torque and increasing the target anti-drag torque based on the magnitude of the torque-increasing gradient, may include at least one of steps 101 to 103.

[0111] In step 101, when the target anti-drag torque increases from 0 to a first predetermined torque, the magnitude of the torque increase gradient is determined to be a first torque increase gradient, and the target anti-drag torque is increased using the first torque increase gradient, wherein the first torque increase gradient is less than the predetermined torque increase gradient.

[0112] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 101 may be a first stage (initial gradual increase stage).

[0113] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first predetermined torque can be -50 Nm (the negative sign indicates braking torque).

[0114] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first torque gradient can be 100 Nm / s.

[0115] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 101 may include: a first stage (initial gradual increase stage): when the requested torque increases from 0 Nm to -50 Nm, the first torque increase gradient is 100 Nm / s. In the above embodiments of this disclosure, the torque in the first stage (initial stage, initial gradual increase stage) is relatively small, and the gradual increase can avoid impacting the transmission system and allow the tires sufficient time to establish stable ground adhesion.

[0116] In step 102, when the target anti-drag torque increases from the first predetermined torque to the second predetermined torque, the magnitude of the torque increase gradient is determined as the second torque increase gradient, and the target anti-drag torque is increased using the second torque increase gradient, wherein the second predetermined torque is greater than the first predetermined torque, and the second torque increase gradient is greater than the first torque increase gradient.

[0117] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 102 may be a second stage (rapid ascent stage).

[0118] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second predetermined torque can be -350 Nm (the negative sign indicates braking torque).

[0119] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second torque gradient can be 400 Nm / s.

[0120] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 102 may include: a second stage (rapid climb stage): when the requested torque increases from -50 Nm to -350 Nm, the torque increase gradient is 400 Nm / s. In the above embodiments of this disclosure, during the second stage (intermediate stage, rapid climb stage), the vehicle has sufficient kinetic energy, and the rapid torque increase can seize the efficient recovery window, improving the overall energy recovery efficiency.

[0121] In step 103, when the target anti-drag torque increases from the second predetermined torque, the magnitude of the torque increase gradient is determined to be the first torque increase gradient, and the target anti-drag torque is increased using the first torque increase gradient.

[0122] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 103 may be a third stage (terminal gradual increase stage).

[0123] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 103 may include: a third stage (end-stage gradual increase): when the requested torque exceeds -350 Nm, the torque increase gradient is restored to 100 Nm / s. In the above embodiments of this disclosure, the torque in the third stage (end-stage gradual increase) is already relatively large, close to the tire adhesion limit. Gradual increase can prevent sudden torque changes from causing a sharp increase in the slip ratio of the drive wheel, thus ensuring stability.

[0124] The embodiments disclosed above employ a nonlinear torque-increasing gradient strategy of "gradual increase followed by rapid increase followed by gradual increase," which smoothly changes torque during the periods of low and high torque, avoiding initial and final impacts.

[0125] In step 11, the current vehicle speed, the current wheel speed, and the current actual output torque of the motor are obtained.

[0126] In step 12, the wheel speed difference is calculated.

[0127] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 12 may include at least one of steps 121 to 123.

[0128] In step 13, it is determined whether the torque pull-back function is activated. If the torque pull-back function is activated, steps 14 and 16 are executed; otherwise, if the torque pull-back function is activated, step 17 is executed.

[0129] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 13 may include at least one of steps 131 to 132.

[0130] In step 14, with the torque pull-back function activated, the target pull-back torque is calculated. Then, step 15 is executed.

[0131] In some embodiments of this disclosure, when the torque pull-back function is activated, the target anti-drag torque is the pull-back target torque.

[0132] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 14 may include: when the torque pullback function is activated, determining the target anti-drag torque based on the motor's current actual output torque and the pullback coefficient K.

[0133] In step 16, if the torque pull-back function is activated, determine whether to disable the torque pull-back function. If the torque pull-back function is disabled, proceed to step 17; otherwise, if the torque pull-back function is not disabled, proceed to step 14.

[0134] In the embodiments described above, when the pull-back signal is turned off, the VCU will resume normal calculation (calculated in accordance with at least one of steps 101 to 103) of the target requested torque, gradually increasing from the current torque value to the target value.

[0135] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 16 may include: when the torque pull-back function is activated, determining whether to disable the torque pull-back function based on the current vehicle speed and wheel speed difference.

[0136] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 16, the step of determining whether to turn off the torque pull-back function, may include at least one of steps 161 to 162.

[0137] In step 161, if the current vehicle speed and the wheel speed difference meet the closing conditions, the torque pull-back function is turned off. The closing conditions include either a first closing condition or a second closing condition. The first closing condition is that the current vehicle speed is less than a predetermined vehicle speed and the absolute value of the wheel speed difference is less than a second predetermined wheel speed difference. The second closing condition is that the current vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the predetermined vehicle speed and the absolute value of the wheel speed difference is less than a second predetermined proportion of the current vehicle speed. The second predetermined proportion is greater than 0 and less than 1.

[0138] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second predetermined wheel speed difference is less than the first predetermined wheel speed difference.

[0139] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second predetermined ratio is less than the first predetermined ratio.

[0140] The above embodiments of this disclosure set the threshold of the shutdown condition to be lower than the activation threshold, forming a hysteresis function, thereby preventing torque jitter caused by frequent signal jumps near the critical point.

[0141] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second constant wheel speed difference can be 1.5 km / h.

[0142] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second predetermined ratio may be 3%.

[0143] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the first shut-off condition may be the current vehicle speed V < 40 km / h and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| < 1.5 km / h.

[0144] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the second shut-off condition can be the current vehicle speed V ≥ 40 km / h, and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| <V×3%。

[0145] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the shutdown condition may be: the torque pull-back function is shut down if any of the following conditions are met.

[0146] 1. The current vehicle speed V < 40 km / h, and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| < 1.5 km / h.

[0147] 2. The current vehicle speed V ≥ 40 km / h, and the wheel speed difference |ΔV| <V×3%。

[0148] The embodiments disclosed above enhance the adaptability and reliability of the system, and can make judgments based on adaptive thresholds of vehicle speed, so that the strategy can maintain good control performance under various operating conditions at high and low speeds.

[0149] In step 162, if the current vehicle speed and the wheel speed difference do not meet the closing condition, the torque pull-back function is not turned off.

[0150] In step 17, if the torque pull-back function is not activated, calculate the target torque. Then proceed to step 15.

[0151] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the target torque may be a target anti-drag torque.

[0152] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 17 may include: when the torque pull-back function is not activated, performing the step of determining the magnitude of the torque increase gradient based on the range of the target anti-drag torque, and increasing the target anti-drag torque based on the magnitude of the torque increase gradient.

[0153] In some embodiments of this disclosure, step 17 may include: calculating the target anti-drag torque in the manner of at least one of steps 101 to 103 if the torque pull-back function is not activated.

[0154] In the above embodiments of this disclosure, when the pull-back signal is not activated or is turned off, the VCU will resume the normally calculated target requested torque (calculated according to steps 101 to 103), gradually increasing from the current torque value to the target value.

[0155] Steps 14 and 17 of the above embodiments of this disclosure are based on dynamic torque adjustment of the pull-back signal.

[0156] According to the above embodiments of this disclosure, based on whether the pullback signal calculated in steps 13 and 16 is activated, steps 14 and 17 are used to calculate the final requested torque sent to the MCU.

[0157] In step 15, the target anti-drag torque is requested from the motor controller.

[0158] The embodiments disclosed above design a feedback control logic based on wheel speed difference. When it is detected that the wheel speed difference is increasing to the point of triggering ABS, it actively intervenes and proportionally pulls back the current torque to control the wheel speed difference within a certain safe range.

[0159] The above embodiments of this disclosure provide an active preventive wheel speed difference control method for electric vehicles, which is a method for optimizing wheel speed difference control during energy recovery.

[0160] The embodiments of this disclosure present a preventative wheel speed difference control method for electric vehicles, executed by the vehicle control unit (VCU). The input signals include vehicle speed, wheel speeds of the four wheels, and the current actual output torque of the drive motor. These embodiments employ a nonlinear anti-drag torque request gradient of "slow-fast-slow," setting different torque increase rates in different torque ranges to achieve smooth torque increase. The embodiments also feature adaptive wheel speed difference threshold management based on vehicle speed, combined with hysteresis comparison logic, ensuring precise and stable intervention. Furthermore, the embodiments utilize a proportional pull-back torque intervention mechanism, smoothly adjusting based on the motor's current actual output torque, ensuring continuous energy recovery, improving vehicle range, and guaranteeing driving comfort.

[0161] The embodiments of this disclosure introduce a method to actively prevent ABS triggering by judging wheel speed differences. The wheel speed difference judgment in the embodiments of this disclosure can more accurately determine whether ABS is about to be triggered. The embodiments of this disclosure do not require complex algorithms, and the pull-back torque is not noticeable to the driver, eliminating the feeling of sudden acceleration due to a sudden stop in braking, thus having a wider range of application scenarios.

[0162] The embodiments of this disclosure present a dual control architecture employing "feedforward + feedback". The feedforward control of the embodiments of this disclosure uses a nonlinear torque request gradient of "slow-fast-slow" to actively and gradually change the torque at the initial and final stages of torque application, thereby suppressing the generation of wheel speed difference from the source. The feedback control of the embodiments of this disclosure monitors the wheel speed difference in real time and uses an adaptive hysteresis threshold based on vehicle speed for judgment. Once the wheel speed difference approaches the danger threshold, a proportional pullback mechanism based on the current actual torque is triggered, achieving smooth and gradual torque intervention.

[0163] The energy recovery method of this disclosure will be described below through specific embodiments.

[0164] Suppose a rear-wheel-drive electric vehicle is coasting at a certain speed and entering energy recovery mode.

[0165] At a certain moment, due to a slight decrease in road surface adhesion, the wheel speed difference |ΔV| calculated by the VCU does not yet meet the activation condition of step 13, so the torque pull-back function remains off, and the motor torque continues to increase according to the strategy in step 10.

[0166] Subsequently, when the wheel speed difference increases to the point that the activation condition in step 13 is met due to the increased torque, the VCU immediately activates the torque pullback function. Assuming the actual output torque of the motor is -200 Nm at this time, and the pullback coefficient K = 0.7, then the final requested torque sent by the VCU to the MCU is -200 Nm × 0.7 = -140 Nm.

[0167] As the reverse torque decreases, rear wheel slippage is suppressed. When the wheel speed difference begins to decrease to meet the closing condition of step 16, the torque pull-back function is released, the VCU's requested torque returns to normal, and the motor torque continues to increase according to the strategy in step 10.

[0168] Through this dynamic adjustment, the wheel speed difference in the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure is always suppressed below the ABS trigger threshold throughout the entire process. The ABS is not activated, the energy recovery process is not interrupted, and the torque change is gradual, thus ensuring the stability and comfort of vehicle driving.

[0169] The embodiments disclosed above, based on the field of pure electric vehicle controllers, develop an active torque management strategy to prevent ABS false triggering. Key features of the embodiments disclosed above include: 1. Employing a "slow-fast-slow" nonlinear anti-drag torque request gradient, setting different torque increase rates in different torque ranges to achieve smooth torque increase; 2. Adaptive wheel speed difference threshold management based on vehicle speed, combined with hysteresis comparison logic, to ensure precise and stable intervention; 3. Employing a proportional pull-back torque intervention mechanism, using the current actual output torque of the motor as a benchmark for smooth adjustment, ensuring continuous energy recovery, improving vehicle range, and guaranteeing driving comfort.

[0211] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure innovatively introduce an active preventive wheel speed difference control mechanism.
