[0067] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an electric vehicle motor matching method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:

[0068] Step S110: Determine the target peak power of the required motor based on the power performance indicators of the electric vehicle. The power performance indicators include the maximum vehicle speed, the maximum gradeability, and the maximum instantaneous acceleration and maximum instantaneous speed during the acceleration period.

[0069] In this embodiment, acceleration time is used to describe the acceleration performance of an electric vehicle. Acceleration performance refers to the shortest time required for an electric vehicle to accelerate from speed V1 to speed V2. It typically includes acceleration time from 0 to 50 km / h (mainly reflecting the vehicle's initial acceleration performance), acceleration time from 0 to 100 km / h (mainly reflecting the vehicle's acceleration performance within its commonly used speed range), and acceleration time from 50 to 80 km / h (mainly reflecting the vehicle's acceleration performance during overtaking). The shorter the acceleration time, the better the vehicle's acceleration performance, and consequently, the better the overall vehicle power.

[0070] Optionally, step S110 includes:

[0071] The first required power for the electric vehicle at its maximum speed, the second required power at its maximum gradeability, and the third required power during short-term acceleration, within the acceleration time, are determined respectively.

[0072] The target peak power is determined by the largest of the three required power values: the first required power, the second required power, and the third required power.

[0073] In this embodiment, the continuous power of the power source (i.e., the first required power and the second required power) can be determined based on the extreme stability operating conditions of the electric vehicle. The peak power of the power source (i.e., the third required power) can be determined based on the acceleration time. Then, the power value with the larger value between the continuous power and the peak power is selected as the target peak power. The extreme stability operating conditions are constrained by the maximum vehicle speed and the maximum gradeability. The motor matching design process is carried out under multiple requirement constraints.

[0074] Optionally, each required power can be calculated according to the following formulas (1) to (3):

[0075] (1)

[0076] (2)

[0077] (3)

[0078] in, V is the first required power (kW) for the vehicle to operate at its maximum speed. max Where η is the maximum speed of the electric vehicle (km / h), η is the transmission efficiency of the power system, and C is the maximum speed of the electric vehicle (km / h). dWhere A is the air resistance coefficient and A is the vehicle's frontal area (m²). 2 m is the vehicle's curb weight (kg), and g is the acceleration due to gravity (m / s²). 2 f is the rolling resistance coefficient; V is the second required power (kW) for the vehicle to operate at its maximum climbing performance. α α represents the vehicle speed (km / h) corresponding to the uphill climb. max Maximum gradient angle (°); The maximum instantaneous power during acceleration, i.e., the third required power (kW), is V. t a is the maximum instantaneous vehicle speed (km / h) during the acceleration period. t The maximum instantaneous acceleration (m / s²) during the acceleration time. 2 ), This is the rotational mass conversion factor.

[0079] It should be noted that the aforementioned maximum speed and maximum gradeability were pre-set by the R&D personnel during the early stages of electric vehicle development and are fixed values. The maximum instantaneous acceleration and maximum instantaneous speed during the acceleration period, however, can be actual parameters obtained through experiments.

[0080] Step S120: Based on the energy consumption of electric vehicles under common operating conditions, determine the target vehicle speed and target driving force for the electric vehicle in the operating condition range with the highest energy consumption ratio.

[0081] Optionally, step S120 includes:

[0082] Obtain an energy consumption percentage map of electric vehicles under common operating conditions. The energy consumption percentage map is used to represent the energy consumption percentage of electric vehicles in each operating condition range corresponding to different vehicle speeds and driving forces. The energy consumption percentage is the ratio of the energy consumed by electric vehicles in each operating condition range to the total energy consumed by electric vehicles in the entire operating condition.

[0083] Based on the energy consumption percentage map, the vehicle speed and driving force corresponding to the operating condition range with the highest energy consumption percentage are determined as the target vehicle speed and target driving force.

[0084] In this field, electric vehicles are typically tested under four operating cycles: NEDC, FTP75, WLTP, and CLTC. These different cycles significantly impact the driving range of electric vehicles. The NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) is the European standard for driving range testing, comprising four urban cycles and one suburban cycle. The urban cycle lasts 780 seconds with a maximum speed of 50 km / h, while the suburban cycle lasts 400 seconds with a maximum speed of 120 km / h. FTP75 (Federal Test Procedure) is a standard issued by the U.S. Department of Energy for testing the fuel economy and emissions of passenger vehicles in urban driving conditions, used to evaluate the emissions and fuel economy of light-duty vehicles and light-duty trucks. The complete FTP75 test cycle takes 1874 seconds, with a theoretical driving distance of 11.04 miles (17.77 km), an average speed of 21.2 mph (34.12 km / h), and a maximum speed of 56.7 mph (91.25 km / h). It includes three parts: cold start transient, steady-state, and hot start transient. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is an international standard developed by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe for testing the emissions and fuel economy of conventional gasoline and hybrid vehicles, as well as the driving range of pure electric vehicles. It consists of two main parts: the WLTC cycle (test curve) and the test procedure. The WLTP standard test cycle more closely resembles real-world driving conditions. Its complete test cycle consists of four stages: low speed, medium speed, high speed, and ultra-high speed, lasting a total of 1800 seconds. This includes 235 seconds of idling, a distance of 23266 meters, an average speed of 46.5 km / h, and a maximum speed of 131.3 km / h. The CLTC (China Light-Duty Vehicles Test Cycle) is a standard for light-duty vehicles developed by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center (CATARC) under the commission of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. It is applicable to Chinese road traffic conditions and driving habits, and was released in October 2019 and implemented in May 2020. This standard is subdivided into the China Passenger Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC-P) and the China Light Commercial Vehicle Test Cycle (CLTC-C). The passenger car test cycle CLTC-P (China light-duty vehicle test cycle-passenger car) includes three speed ranges: low speed, medium speed, and high speed. The total duration is 1800 seconds, the total distance is 14480 meters, the maximum speed is 114 km / h, and the average speed is 28.96 km / h.The CLTC-C (China light-duty vehicle test cycle-commercial car) test cycle for light commercial vehicles includes three speed ranges: low speed, medium speed, and high speed. The total test cycle duration is 1800 seconds, with the low speed range accounting for 40.8% of the time, the medium speed range accounting for 34.2%, and the high speed range accounting for 25.0%. The average vehicle speed is 32.9 km / h, the maximum vehicle speed is 92.0 km / h, and the idle speed percentage is 20.3%.

[0085] In this embodiment, the two-dimensional coordinates of vehicle speed V and longitudinal force F can be obtained by converting the actual common operating conditions map of electric vehicles. Then, the energy consumption ratio corresponding to each operating condition interval is calculated according to the following formulas (4) and (5), thereby generating an energy consumption ratio map of electric vehicles under common operating conditions.

[0086] The total energy consumed by the electric vehicle under all operating conditions is calculated using the following formula (4):

[0087] (4)

[0088] in, Let M be the total number of sampling points, ∆t be the time interval, and F be the total number of sampling points. j V is the longitudinal force at time j. j Let j be the vehicle speed at time j.

[0089] The energy consumption ratio of electric vehicles in each operating condition range is calculated according to the following formula (5):

[0090] (5)

[0091] Where X represents the energy consumption percentage of an electric vehicle within a certain operating range Q, and m Q E represents the number of sampling points within the operating condition interval Q. Q Q represents the energy consumed by the electric vehicle in the operating range.

[0092] Taking the NEDC driving cycle as an example, Figure 2 is an energy consumption percentage map provided by an embodiment of the present invention under the NEDC driving cycle. As shown in Figure 2, the horizontal axis represents vehicle speed (km / h), the left vertical axis represents driving force (N), and the right vertical axis represents energy consumption percentage (%). When the electric vehicle is under the NEDC driving cycle, the energy consumption percentage is highest in the driving cycle interval located in region I. The driving cycle interval corresponding to region I is the high energy consumption percentage driving cycle interval. At this time, the corresponding target vehicle speed is V03~V04 km / h, and the target driving force is F03~F04 N.

[0093] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2, in one implementation of this embodiment, a working condition interval is defined every ΔV (km / h) for vehicle speed and every ΔF (N) for driving force. In other implementations, the working condition intervals can be divided with other interval sizes, and this invention does not limit this.

[0094] Step S130: Based on the target vehicle speed and target driving force, determine the target speed and target torque of the required motor.

[0095] The electric vehicle motor matching method provided in this embodiment of the invention can be applied to two-wheel drive, three-wheel drive or four-wheel drive electric vehicles.

[0096] (1) When the electric vehicle is two-wheel drive, including front and rear motors:

[0097] Step S130 may include:

[0098] Calculate the target speed and target torque for each required motor using the following formulas:

[0099] ;

[0100] ;

[0101] ;

[0102] ;

[0103] ;

[0104] ;

For front axle drive force, For rear axle drive force, For the target torque required by the front motor, For the target torque of the required rear motor, This is the reduction ratio of the front axle motor. This refers to the reduction ratio of the rear axle motor. The front wheel rolling radius, The rear wheel rolling radius, For the target vehicle speed, To achieve the target speed of the front motor, The target speed of the rear motor is required.

[0106] (2) When the electric vehicle is a three-wheel drive system, consisting of one front motor and two rear motors:

[0107] Step S130 may include:

[0108] Calculate the target speed and target torque for each required motor using the following formulas:

[0109] ;

[0110] ;

[0111] ;

[0112] ;

[0113] ;

[0114] ;

[0115] Where x is the front-to-rear axle drive force distribution ratio, and F is the target drive force. For front axle drive force, For rear axle drive force, For the target torque required by the front motor, For the target torque required by the left rear motor, For the target torque required by the right rear motor, This is the reduction ratio of the front axle motor. This refers to the reduction ratio of the rear axle motor. The front wheel rolling radius, The rear wheel rolling radius, For the target vehicle speed, To achieve the target speed of the front motor, To achieve the target speed for the left rear motor, The target speed for the right rear motor is required.

[0116] (3) When the electric vehicle is a four-wheel drive vehicle, including two front motors and two rear motors:

[0117] Step S130 may include:

[0118] Calculate the target speed and target torque for each required motor using the following formulas:

[0119] ;

[0120] ;

[0121] ;

[0122] ;

[0123] ;

[0124] ;

[0125] Where x is the front-to-rear axle drive force distribution ratio, and F is the target drive force. For front axle drive force, For rear axle drive force, For the target torque required by the left front motor, For the target torque required by the right front motor, For the target torque required by the left rear motor, For the target torque required by the right rear motor, This is the reduction ratio of the front axle motor.

The front wheel rolling radius, The rear wheel rolling radius, For the target vehicle speed, To achieve the target speed for the left front motor, To achieve the target speed for the right front motor, To achieve the target speed for the left rear motor, The target speed for the right rear motor is required.

[0126] Step S140: Select the motor whose parameters meet the set requirements from the candidate motors as the required motor. The set requirements include: peak power greater than or equal to the target peak power, and when the motor is working at the target speed and target torque, the motor's working efficiency is greater than the set high efficiency threshold.

[0127] In this embodiment, motors with peak power greater than or equal to the target peak power can be selected as pre-selected motors from the candidate motors. Then, motor efficiency maps corresponding to each pre-selected motor are obtained. Based on the motor efficiency maps corresponding to each pre-selected motor, it is determined whether the motor's operating efficiency is greater than the set high-efficiency threshold at the target speed and target torque corresponding to the operating condition range with the highest energy consumption ratio, i.e., whether the motor is in the high-efficiency zone.

[0128] Figure 3 is a motor efficiency map provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, region I represents the target speed and target torque region corresponding to the motor's highest energy consumption ratio under NEDC conditions, and region II represents the target speed and target torque region corresponding to the motor's highest energy consumption ratio under FTP conditions. Assuming the set high efficiency threshold is 85%, meaning the motor's efficiency is greater than 85%, it is considered to be in the high-efficiency zone. Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, when the electric vehicle is under NEDC conditions, the motor's efficiency is approximately 92%, greater than 85%, thus the motor is in the high-efficiency zone. In this case, the pre-selected motor meets the set requirements and can be used as the required motor. Similarly, when the electric vehicle is under FTP conditions, the motor's efficiency is between 90% and 92%, greater than 85%, therefore the motor is in the high-efficiency zone, and the pre-selected motor meets the set requirements and can be used as the required motor.

[0129] The electric vehicle motor matching method provided in this invention can classify common operating conditions and take the operating condition range with the highest energy consumption as the target range. As long as the operating condition range with the highest energy consumption of the matched motor corresponds to the high efficiency range of the motor, the motor parameters can be matched. The matching process is simple and can achieve comprehensive optimization of the vehicle's power and economy.
