AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When a hybrid vehicle switches from pure electric rear-wheel drive mode to power split mode, it needs to control multiple components, resulting in a slow switching speed and affecting power response performance and driving experience.

Method used

By controlling the clutch engagement and using the first motor to drive the engine sequentially through the power splitting mechanism and the clutch, the engine can be started quickly. Torque adjustment is performed on the engine and motor to ensure rapid switching of the synchronizer and achieve rapid and stable switching of vehicle modes.

Benefits of technology

The mode switching speed has been improved, enhancing power response performance and the user driving experience, and ensuring a smooth switching process.

Abstract

This application provides a vehicle mode switching method, apparatus, system, and vehicle, belonging to the field of vehicle technology. The embodiments of this application, when the vehicle meets the mode switching conditions from pure electric rear-wheel drive mode to power-split mode, control the clutch to close, and utilize a first motor to sequentially drive the engine through the power-split mechanism and the clutch. This enables rapid engine start-up. Furthermore, by adjusting the torque of the engine and the first motor, rapid closure of the first and second synchronizers can be achieved while ensuring safe gear shifting. This effectively improves the mode switching speed while ensuring smooth switching, achieving faster power response and enhancing the user's driving experience.
