Description

Torque distribution method and device, electronic device and storage medium Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of hybrid power system control, and in particular to a torque distribution method and device, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The series-parallel hybrid system consists of three power sources: an engine, a generator, and an electric motor. Its main hybrid driving modes include series and parallel modes. In order to ensure that the sum of the torque of the three power sources can meet the driver's needs and the system efficiency can be optimized.

[0003] To achieve optimal system efficiency and meet driving demands for wheel torque, the three power sources must be coordinated to deliver appropriate target torque or speed in different modes. However, in low-temperature scenarios, battery charge and discharge capacity is insufficient. When driver demands rapidly change, conventional energy management strategies for torque distribution calculations can easily lead to battery overcharge and overdischarge, poor drivability, and other issues. Therefore, in these scenarios, the torque and speed outputs of the engine, generator, and electric motor must be coordinated to ensure power balance within the powertrain, ultimately achieving the goals of ensuring component life, driver demands, and drivability.

[0004] Some related technologies fail to consider power generation tracking solutions at low temperatures, making it difficult to respond to the driver's needs in a timely manner during intense driving, which can lead to drivability issues. Others fail to consider charging power deviations caused by inaccurate engine torque at low temperatures, as well as safety issues caused by prolonged operation of the battery near its power limit.

[0081] The torque distribution method of the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a server, a terminal, or both. The torque distribution method of the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a terminal or a client installed thereon.

[0082] Taking the torque distribution method of this embodiment executed by a terminal as an example, FIG1 is a flow chart of a torque distribution method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the series-parallel hybrid power system shown in FIG2 , and includes the following steps:

[0083] Step S101 , obtaining the current battery temperature of a high-voltage battery operating in a low-temperature environment and the driver's required torque.

[0084] As an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, before obtaining the current battery temperature of the high-voltage battery operating in a low-temperature environment and the driver's required torque in step S101, the method further includes:

[0085] When the current ambient temperature is lower than or equal to the lower temperature limit indicated by the battery information of the high-voltage battery, it is determined that the high-voltage battery is operating in a low-temperature environment, and a jump operation is performed to obtain the current battery temperature of the high-voltage battery operating in a low-temperature environment and the driver's required torque.

[0086] For example, the battery type and / or battery brand of the high-voltage battery can be determined, and the battery information corresponding to the high-voltage battery can be determined (i.e., the battery information may include but is not limited to: battery type, battery brand, temperature range (i.e., optimal operating temperature range, for example: -25°C to

[0087] 40℃, -20℃ to 45℃, etc.)).

[0088] Then, after determining that the vehicle is operating in a low-temperature environment, the current battery temperature of the high-voltage battery and the driver's required torque can be determined; the current battery temperature can be detected by a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the high-voltage battery, and the driver's required torque can be obtained by obtaining relevant data on the driver's accelerator pedal.

[0089] According to the above technical means, it is possible to timely and accurately determine whether the high-voltage battery is operating in a low-temperature environment, and then enter the low-temperature operation mode in time, and ensure the continuous operation of the engine and high-voltage battery in this mode.

[0090] Step S102 : determining a target charge / discharge power of the high-voltage battery at the current battery temperature according to the current battery temperature and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery.

[0091] Generally, each battery has a corresponding battery charge, so the battery charge of the high-voltage battery can be determined in real time or in advance.

[0092] After determining the current battery temperature and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery, a target charge and discharge power for the high-voltage battery at the current battery temperature can be determined based on a first relationship between the battery temperature and the battery charge and discharge power, and a second relationship between the battery charge and the battery charge and discharge power. For example, the first relationship is a proportional relationship, and the second relationship is also a proportional relationship.

[0093] The target charge and discharge power may be the charge and discharge power that the high-voltage battery is expected to achieve.

[0094] Step S103 : determining the power generation required by the range extender system according to the target charge and discharge power and the actual power of the drive motor, wherein the actual power of the drive motor is obtained based on the torque required by the driver.

[0095] After the driver's demand torque is determined, the actual required power for driving the vehicle can be determined based on the driver's demand torque.

[0096] Therefore, the power generation required by the range extender system can be determined based on the target charging and discharging power and the actual power of the drive motor.

[0097] The range-extended system uses an internal combustion engine (ICE) range extender installed on the vehicle. However, this ICE does not directly drive the vehicle; it only generates electricity. This electricity not only directly powers the drive motor but also charges the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the ICE stops, allowing the battery to directly propel the motor forward.

[0098] Step S104 : determining the target engine speed and target engine torque of the engine, and the target generator speed and target generator torque of the generator according to the generated power and the optimal efficiency curve of the range extender system.

[0099] Different vehicle range extenders have corresponding optimal efficiency curves. This curve is calculated by taking the lowest fuel consumption points on the range extender's constant power curve, connecting these points, and analyzing the final results to determine the optimal operating route.

[0100] After determining the optimal curve of the generated power and the efficiency of the range extender system of the vehicle, analysis can be performed based on the generated power and the optimal efficiency curve to determine the target engine speed and target engine torque of the engine and the target generator speed and target generator torque of the generator.

[0101] According to the above technical means, since the target charge and discharge power is obtained based on the battery charge of the high-voltage battery and the current battery temperature, the impact of the battery charge and discharge power in a low-temperature environment can be effectively considered, and the power generation power required by the range extender system is determined based on the target charge and discharge power and the actual power of the drive motor, so that the power generation power can be adjusted according to the temperature, so that the battery does not need to work near the power limit for a long time, which can effectively improve the safety of the high-voltage battery; in addition, the actual power of the drive motor is obtained based on the driver's required torque, so that the power generation power can be obtained in response to the driver's needs, thereby improving drivability; finally, the above technical means also determines the engine target speed and engine target torque of the engine, and the generator target speed and generator target torque of the generator based on the power generation power and the optimal efficiency curve of the range extender system, so that the engine torque can be kept accurate even in a low-temperature environment, which can be used as an optional embodiment to ensure the accuracy of the charging power.

[0102] As shown in FIG3 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S102 determines the target charge and discharge power of the high-voltage battery based on the current battery temperature and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery, including the following steps:

[0103] Step S201, obtaining calibration information of the high-voltage battery, wherein the calibration information is used to indicate the battery temperature and the corresponding relationship between the battery charge and the battery charging and discharging power;

[0104] Step S202 : determining the target charge and discharge power according to the calibration information, the current battery temperature, and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery.

[0105] Optionally, the calibration information of the high-voltage battery can be obtained by analyzing other batteries of the same type as the high-voltage battery; to determine the correspondence between the battery temperature of the high-voltage battery and the battery charge and discharge power, and the correspondence can be represented by graphs, tables, functions, etc.

[0106] After the calibration information is determined, the calibration information can be matched according to the current battery temperature and the battery and power of the high-voltage battery, and the target charge and discharge power can be finally obtained.

[0107] According to the above technical means, by obtaining the calibration information of the high-voltage battery and then determining the target charge and discharge power, the efficiency of determining the target charge and discharge power can be effectively improved.

[0108] As shown in FIG4 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S202 determines the target charge and discharge power according to the calibration information, the current battery temperature, and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery, including the following steps:

[0109] Step S301, matching the original target charge and discharge power in the calibration information according to the current battery temperature and the battery charge of the high-voltage battery;

[0110] Step S302, determining the actual power of the high-voltage battery according to the actual voltage and actual current of the high-voltage battery;

[0111] Step S303, performing a first closed-loop control on the original target charge and discharge power based on the power deviation between the actual power and the original target charge and discharge power, obtaining the target charge and discharge power, and determining the target voltage and target current of the high-voltage battery;

[0112] Step S304: filtering the target voltage and target current.

[0113] Optionally, the battery can be charged according to the SOC HV and the current battery temperature T BattDetermine the original target charge and discharge power P of the battery Tar ; According to the actual voltage U of the high voltage battery HV and the actual current I HV Calculate the actual power of the high-voltage battery; P HV =U HV ×I HV , and perform closed-loop control on the target charge and discharge power of the battery based on this power; filter the battery target charge and discharge power calculated by the above method (i.e., filter the target voltage and target current) to ensure the stability of the power system.

[0114] As shown in FIG5 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S303 performs a first closed-loop control on the target charge and discharge power based on the power deviation between the actual power and the target charge and discharge power to obtain the target charge and discharge power, including the following steps:

[0115] Step S401: when the power deviation indicates that the original target charge and discharge power is less than the actual power, the original target charge and discharge power is increased to obtain the target charge and discharge power;

[0116] Step S402: When the power deviation indicates that the original target charge and discharge power is equal to the actual power, the original target charge and discharge power is used as the target charge and discharge power;

[0117] Step S403 : When the power deviation indicates that the original target charge and discharge power is greater than the actual power, the original target charge and discharge power is reduced to obtain the target charge and discharge power.

[0118] According to the technical means described in steps S401 to S403, the original target charge and discharge power can be adjusted in different situations to obtain a target charge and discharge power that is closest to the actual power.

[0119] According to the above technical means, the original target charge and discharge power is subjected to a first closed-loop control through the power deviation between the actual power and the original target charge and discharge power to obtain the target charge and discharge power, which can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of the charge and discharge of the high-voltage battery. In addition, filtering the target voltage and target current can be used as an optional embodiment to ensure the stability of the power system powered by the high-voltage battery.

[0120] As shown in FIG6 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S104 determines the target engine speed and target engine torque of the engine, and the target generator speed and target generator torque of the generator based on the generated power and the optimal efficiency curve of the range extender system, including the following steps:

[0121] Step S501 : determining an original target engine speed and an original target engine torque of the engine, and an original target generator speed and an original target generator torque of the generator according to the generated power and the optimal efficiency curve of the range extender system.

[0122] That is to say, based on the power generation power and the optimal efficiency curve of the range extender system, the following may need to be further adjusted: the original target speed and original target torque of the engine, and the original target speed and original target torque of the generator.

[0123] Step S502 , when the engine is running according to the generated power, the original target torque of the engine is subjected to a second closed-loop control based on the deviation between the actual engine speed and the original target engine speed to obtain the target engine torque.

[0124] This method can solve the problem of obtaining system fluctuation information, energy transfer efficiency and system error information affecting power generation; system fluctuation information can be, for example, fluctuation information caused by external vibrations and switching air conditioners.

[0125] Energy transfer efficiency can be used to indicate the proportion of losses that occur during energy transfer.

[0126] System error information may include, but is not limited to, errors in the energy transfer process or the power monitoring process.

[0127] That is to say, through the deviation between the actual engine speed and the original target engine speed, the engine original target torque is subjected to a second closed-loop control to obtain the engine target torque. This can meet the requirements of the engine operating according to the power generation power in the presence of system fluctuation information, energy transfer efficiency and system error information.

[0128] Step S503 : Based on the engine target torque, the engine target speed, the generator target speed, and the generator target torque are obtained.

[0129] After obtaining system fluctuation information, energy transfer efficiency and system error information, the target torque of the engine can be closed-loop controlled according to the actual engine speed, further ensuring the safety of the high-voltage battery and the stability of the system.

[0130] The original target engine speed may be the target torque of the engine determined before the second closed-loop control is performed on the original target engine torque.

[0131] After the engine target torque is determined, since the engine torque is respectively related to the engine speed, the generator speed and the generator torque, the engine target speed, the generator target speed and the generator target torque can be determined based on the engine target torque.

[0132] According to the above technical means, combined with system fluctuation information, energy transfer efficiency and system error information, the accuracy of engine torque can be effectively improved, thereby avoiding charging power deviation caused by inaccurate engine torque.

[0133] As shown in FIG7 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S502, when the engine is operating according to the generated power, performs a second closed-loop control on the original target engine torque based on the deviation between the actual engine speed and the original target engine speed to obtain the engine target torque, including the following steps:

[0134] Step S601: when the original target engine speed is less than the actual engine speed, the original target engine torque is increased to obtain the target engine torque;

[0135] Step S602: When the original target engine speed is equal to the actual engine speed, the original target engine torque is used as the target engine torque;

[0136] Step S603: When the original target engine speed is greater than the actual engine speed, the original target engine torque is reduced to obtain the engine target torque.

[0137] Optionally, the target engine speed may be determined according to the above method, that is, the actual engine speed is adjusted according to the original target engine speed.

[0138] When the latest engine target speed is the same as the actual engine speed or is within the preset error, the engine target speed will no longer be adjusted. Instead, the engine target torque will be used as the original engine target torque, and the engine target speed will be used as the original engine target speed, and will be adjusted again according to the method described in the above steps S601 to S603.

[0139] In this embodiment, the actual speed of the engine is directly proportional to the actual speed of the generator.

[0140] According to the above technical means, the original target torque of the engine can be adjusted in different situations to obtain the target torque of the engine that can meet the target speed of the generator when the generator operates according to the target power generation.

[0141] As shown in FIG8 , as an optional embodiment, as in the aforementioned torque distribution method, step S103 of determining the power generation required by the range extender system based on the target charge and discharge power and the actual power of the drive motor includes the following steps:

[0142] Step S701, determining the power consumption of the high-voltage accessories of the vehicle where the high-voltage battery is located;

[0143] The power consumption of high-voltage accessories may include, but is not limited to, the power consumption of an air conditioner, the power consumption of audio-visual equipment, etc. Optionally, it may be determined in real time based on the operating status of the high-voltage accessories.

[0144] Step S702: determining the actual power of the driving motor in the vehicle.

[0145] As an optional embodiment, the aforementioned torque distribution method for determining the actual power of the vehicle's drive motors includes: assigning the driver's requested torque to the drive torque demand of the drive motors; transmitting the drive torque demand to a dual-motor controller; and controlling the drive motors via the dual-motor controller to determine the actual power of the drive motors. This technical approach allows the dual-motor controller to be controlled according to the driver's requested torque, thereby enabling timely response to the driver's demands.

[0146] Step S703: Determine the generated power based on the sum of the target charge and discharge power, the power consumed by the high-voltage accessories, and the actual power.

[0147] After determining the target charge and discharge power, high-voltage accessory power consumption and actual power of the drive motor, the required power generation power can be determined by adding the target charge and discharge power, high-voltage accessory power consumption and actual power.

[0148] According to the above technical means, by determining the generated power based on the sum of the target charging and discharging power, the high-voltage accessory power consumption and the actual power, it can be used as an optional embodiment to ensure the safety of the high-voltage battery and the stability of the system.
