Technical Field

[0004] The engine of a hybrid vehicle powers the drive motor and the power battery. The engine's power generation can be adjusted to meet the vehicle's driving needs in different driving scenarios.

However, in some driving scenarios, such as when the vehicle is traveling on a congested, winding, or uneven road, the driver may frequently step on the accelerator, causing the engine's power generation to fluctuate frequently and resulting in unstable engine operation.

[0068] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0069] First, we will introduce the application scenarios of this disclosure, specifically, adjusting the power generated by a hybrid vehicle engine. The hybrid vehicle engine can power both the drive motor and the power battery. In different driving scenarios, the engine power can be adjusted to meet the driving needs of the hybrid vehicle. The engine power can be correlated with the throttle position: a wide throttle opening results in a high power output, while a narrow throttle opening results in a low power output.

[0070] In related technologies, when a hybrid vehicle is driving, if the driver steps on the accelerator, the vehicle's engine determines the corresponding power generation, allowing the vehicle to travel at that power. However, in some driving scenarios, such as when the vehicle is traveling on a congested, winding, or uneven road, the driver may frequently step on the accelerator, causing the engine's power generation to fluctuate frequently and resulting in unstable engine operation.

[0071] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a vehicle control method, storage medium, electronic device and vehicle, which are applied to hybrid vehicles; when the hybrid vehicle is in series mode, a target load level is determined; and a target demand level is determined; wherein, the target load level is a level determined from at least two load levels; the target demand level is a level determined from at least two demand levels; according to the target load level and the target demand level, a target power generation power is determined; according to the target power generation power, the engine operation of the hybrid vehicle is controlled; through the above technical solution, the target power generation power of the engine can be determined according to the target load level and the target demand level; so that the power generation power can simultaneously meet the driving requirements of the vehicle and the control requirements of the charge state of the vehicle battery, thereby improving the flexibility of vehicle control; and, since the target power generation power can be a fixed range or a fixed value, controlling the engine based on the target power generation power can make the engine output stably over a period of time, avoid frequent changes in the output power of the engine, extend the service life of the engine, reduce the production cost of the engine, and improve the working efficiency of the engine.

[0072] Several embodiments of the above-mentioned vehicle control method are described below.

[0073] Example 1:

[0074] As shown in FIG1 , it is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment, wherein the method can be applied to a vehicle and can include the following steps.

[0075] S101 : When the hybrid vehicle is in a series mode, determine a target load level; and determine a target demand level.

[0076] The target load level is a level determined from at least two load levels; and the target demand level is a level determined from at least two demand levels.

[0077] For example, the series mode may refer to a mode in which the engine of the hybrid vehicle is connected in series with the drive motor and the power battery, and the power generated by the engine can supply power to the drive motor and the power battery to operate the drive motor and the power battery. The demand level may be an SOC (State of Charge) demand level.

[0078] For example, the load level may be a load range; the demand level may be an SOC demand range.

[0079] S102: Determine a target power generation capacity according to the target load level and the target demand level.

[0080] S103: Control the operation of the engine of the hybrid vehicle according to the target generated power.

[0081] Through the above technical solution, the target power generation power of the engine can be determined according to the target load level and the target demand level; so that the power generation power can simultaneously meet the driving needs of the vehicle and the control needs of the charge state of the vehicle battery, thereby improving the flexibility of vehicle control; and, since the target power generation power can be a fixed range or a fixed value, controlling the engine based on the target power generation power can make the engine output stably over a period of time, avoiding frequent changes in the output power of the engine, extending the service life of the engine, reducing the production cost of the engine, and improving the working efficiency of the engine.

[0082] Example 2:

[0083] As shown in FIG2 , it is a flow chart of a vehicle control method according to the exemplary embodiment of FIG1 . Determining the target load level in the above S101 may include:

[0084] S1011. Obtain average driving load.

[0085] S1012. Determine a target interval from at least one load interval based on the average driving load; wherein each load interval corresponds to a load level; and the target interval is: the average driving load falls within the target interval.

[0086] S1013. Use the load level corresponding to the target interval as the target load level.

[0087] In some embodiments, the target interval may be determined from at least one load interval according to the average driving load and a preset load threshold.

[0088] For example, the preset load threshold may include a first preset load threshold, a second preset load threshold, and a third preset load threshold; the target interval may include a first load interval, a second load interval, a third load interval, and a fourth load interval. If it is determined that the average driving load is less than or equal to the first preset load threshold, the target interval may be determined to be the first load interval; if it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the first preset load threshold and less than the second preset load threshold, the target interval may be determined to be the second load interval; if it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the second preset load threshold and less than the third preset load threshold, the target interval may be determined to be the third load interval; and if it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the third preset load threshold, the target interval may be determined to be the fourth load interval.

[0089] The load level may include a first load level, a second load level, a third load level, and a fourth load level; the first load level may correspond to the first load interval; the second load level may correspond to the second load interval; the third load level may correspond to the third load interval; and the fourth load level may correspond to the fourth load interval. Therefore, when it is determined that the average driving load is less than or equal to the first preset load threshold, the target load level may be determined to be the first load level; when it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the first preset load threshold and less than the second preset load threshold, the target load level may be determined to be the second load level; when it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the second preset load threshold and less than the third preset load threshold, the target load level may be determined to be the third load level; and when it is determined that the average driving load is greater than or equal to the third preset load threshold, the target load level may be determined to be the fourth load level.

[0090] For example, assuming that the average driving load is T; the first preset load threshold is D1, the second preset load threshold is D2, and the third preset load threshold is D3; the first load level is δ1, the second load level is δ2, the third load level is δ3, and the fourth load level is δ4; the target load level can be determined from at least two load levels through the corresponding relationship in Table 1 below.

[0091] Table 1:

[0092] In some embodiments, the target load level corresponding to the average driving load can be determined from at least two load levels using a preset load correspondence relationship. The preset load correspondence relationship can be a correspondence relationship between the average driving load and the load level, with each average driving load corresponding to a load level.

[0093] In some embodiments, the above S1021 may include: obtaining multiple driving loads within a preset time period; the preset time period refers to a time period before the current moment; the average driving load is: an average value of the multiple driving loads.

[0094] For example, the preset time period can be a pre-set time period, and the time range of the preset time period can be set by the user and is not limited herein. For example, the preset time period can be the time period between the current time and the start time of the hybrid vehicle, or the time period between the current time and a period of time (e.g., half an hour, an hour, or two hours) prior to the current time. In this way, by setting different time period ranges, different average driving loads can be determined, the time range can be flexibly adjusted, and the response speed of the device is improved.

[0095] For example, the running load may include an initial load, which may be the running load at the start of the hybrid vehicle. For example, the initial load may be a load value or a load range, which is not limited here.

[0096] In some embodiments, determining the target demand level in the above S101 may include: determining the target demand level according to preset charge demand information, remaining driving time and charging-related information.

[0097] In other embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the target demand level based on preset charge requirement information, remaining driving time and charging-related information may include: obtaining a driving route; determining the remaining driving time and the charging-related information based on the driving route; and determining the target demand level based on the preset charge requirement information, the remaining driving time and the charging-related information.

[0098] For example, the driving route may include a departure location and a destination location, and the remaining driving time may be determined based on the departure location, the destination location, and the current location of the vehicle in combination with preset map information.

[0099] In other embodiments, the charging-related information can be determined based on the destination location and the preset map information. For example, the preset map information can be built-in map information of the vehicle. In this way, the remaining driving time and charging-related information of the vehicle can be accurately determined by combining the preset map information, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0100] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the target demand level based on preset charge demand information, remaining driving time and charging-related information includes: determining a charge state interval based on the preset charge demand information; determining a driving time interval based on the remaining driving time; determining a charging information interval based on the charging-related information; and determining the target demand level based on the charge state interval, in combination with the driving time interval and the charging information interval.

[0101] In other embodiments, determining the SOC interval according to the preset charge requirement information may include: determining the SOC interval from at least two preset SOC intervals according to the preset charge requirement information.

[0102] For example, the preset SOC interval may include a first preset SOC interval and a second preset SOC interval; the SOC interval may be determined as follows: if it is determined that the preset charge requirement information is greater than or equal to a preset SOC threshold, the SOC interval is determined to be the first preset SOC interval; or, if it is determined that the preset charge requirement information is less than the preset SOC threshold, the SOC interval is determined to be the second preset SOC interval. The first preset SOC interval has a greater impact on the generated power than the second preset SOC interval. For example, the preset SOC threshold may be set by the user based on the vehicle's operating conditions, which is not limited here.

[0103] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, determining the SOC range based on the preset charge requirement information may include determining the SOC range based on the SOC information and the preset charge requirement information. For example, the SOC information may be the current SOC information of the hybrid vehicle.

[0104] In other embodiments, determining the driving duration interval based on the remaining driving time may include: determining the driving duration interval from at least two preset driving duration intervals based on the remaining driving time.

[0105] For example, the preset driving duration interval may include a first preset driving duration interval and a second preset driving duration interval. The driving duration interval may be determined in the following manner: if it is determined that the remaining driving time is less than a preset time threshold, the driving duration interval is determined to be the first preset driving duration interval; or, if it is determined that the remaining driving time is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, the driving duration interval is determined to be the second preset driving duration interval. The first preset driving duration interval has a greater impact on the generated power than the second preset driving duration interval. For example, the preset time threshold may be set by the user based on the vehicle's operating conditions and is not limited here.

[0106] In other embodiments, determining the charging information interval according to the charging-related information may include: determining the charging information interval from at least two preset charging information intervals according to the charging-related information.

[0107] For example, the charging-related information may include the number of charging times; determining the charging information interval based on the charging-related information may include: if a charging pile is determined to be present in the surrounding environment of the destination location of the driving route, determining the number of times the vehicle has been charged at the charging pile; and determining the charging information interval based on the charging number. The determination of whether a charging pile is present in the surrounding environment of the destination location may be based on the destination location and preset map information.

[0108] For example, the charging information interval may include a first preset charging information interval or a second preset charging information interval; determining the charging information interval based on the number of charging times may include: if the number of charging times is determined to be greater than or equal to a preset number threshold, determining the charging information interval to be the first preset charging information interval; or if the number of charging times is determined to be less than the preset number threshold, determining the charging information interval to be the second preset charging information interval. The first preset charging information interval has a greater impact on the generated power than the second preset charging information interval. For example, the preset number threshold may be set by the user and is not limited herein.

[0109] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the target demand level based on the state of charge interval, the driving time interval and the charging information interval includes: taking the demand level corresponding to the state of charge interval, the driving time interval and the charging information interval among at least two of the demand levels as the target demand level.

[0110] For example, the demand level may include a first demand level range and a second demand level range; the above-mentioned use of the demand level corresponding to the state of charge interval, the driving time interval and the charging information interval among the at least two demand levels as the target demand level may include: when it is determined that the preset state of charge interval is the first preset state of charge interval, the target demand level is determined from the first demand level range according to the driving time interval and the charging information interval; when it is determined that the preset state of charge interval is the second preset state of charge interval, the target demand level is determined from the second demand level range according to the driving time interval and the charging information interval.

[0111] The first demand level range includes multiple demand levels, and the second demand level range includes multiple demand levels. The number and type of demand levels in the first demand level range may not be exactly the same as the number and type of demand levels in the second demand level range.

[0112] For example, assuming that the first preset state of charge interval is a1, and the second preset state of charge interval is a2; the first preset driving time interval is b1, and the second preset driving time interval is b2; the first preset charging information interval is c1, and the second preset charging information interval is c2; the demand levels include the first demand level Δ1, the second demand level Δ2, the third demand level Δ3 and the fourth demand level Δ4; the first demand level range can include the first demand level Δ1 and the second demand level Δ2; the second demand level range can include the first demand level Δ1, the second demand level Δ2, the third demand level Δ3 and the fourth demand level Δ4.

[0113] When the preset state of charge interval is a1, the target demand level can be determined from the first demand level range according to the corresponding relationship in Table 2 below.

[0114] Table 2:

[0115] When the preset state of charge interval is a2, the target demand level can be determined from the second demand level range according to the corresponding relationship in Table 3 below.

[0116] Table 3:

[0117] In other embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the target power generation power based on the target load level and the target demand level may include: determining the target power generation power corresponding to the target load level and the target demand level through a preset corresponding relationship; the preset corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship between the load level, demand level and power generation power.

[0118] For example, assuming that the load levels may include a first load level δ1, a second load level δ2, a third load level δ3 and a fourth load level δ4; the demand levels include a first demand level Δ1, a second demand level Δ2, a third demand level Δ3 and a fourth demand level Δ4; the power generation may include a first power generation P1, a second power generation P2, a third power generation P3, a fourth power generation P4, a fifth power generation P5 and a sixth power generation P6; the target power generation may be determined through the corresponding relationship in Table 4 below.

[0119] Table 4:

[0120] Example 3:

[0121] Fig. 3 is a flow chart of another vehicle control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3 , the method can be applied to a hybrid vehicle, which can be in a series mode. The method can include the following steps.

[0122] S301. Acquire multiple driving loads within a preset time period.

[0123] S302: Calculate the average value of the multiple driving loads as the average driving load.

[0124] S303 : Determine a target interval from at least one load interval according to the average driving load.

[0125] S304: The load level corresponding to the target interval is used as the target load level.

[0126] S305: Obtain the driving route.

[0127] S306: Determine the remaining driving time and charging-related information based on the driving route.

[0128] S307: Determine a target demand level according to the preset charge demand information, the remaining driving time, and the charging-related information.

[0129] S308: Determine the target power generation corresponding to the target load level and the target demand level through a preset corresponding relationship.

[0130] The preset corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship among the load level, demand level and power generation.

[0131] S309: Control the operation of the engine of the hybrid vehicle according to the target generated power.

[0132] It should be noted that the execution method shown in the flowchart of the vehicle control method in FIG3 is only one of multiple execution methods. In the present disclosure, S301-S304 and S305-S307 may be executed simultaneously; or S301-S304 may be executed first, then S305-S307; or S305-S307 may be executed first, then S301-S304, without limitation herein.

[0133] Through the above technical solution, the target power generation power of the engine can be determined according to the target load level and the target demand level; so that the power generation power can simultaneously meet the driving needs of the vehicle and the control needs of the charge state of the vehicle battery, thereby improving the flexibility of vehicle control; and, since the target power generation power can be a fixed range or a fixed value, controlling the engine based on the target power generation power can make the engine output stably over a period of time, avoiding frequent changes in the output power of the engine, extending the service life of the engine, reducing the production cost of the engine, and improving the working efficiency of the engine.
