[0003] In a hybrid vehicle, the maximum capability of the power system in pure electric EV mode is mainly limited by the battery 10s permitted discharge capability and the P3 motor capability. In some special scenarios and working conditions, such as low SOC, high temperature, and low temperature, the permitted discharge power of the high-voltage battery 10s will be reduced, resulting in low pure electric EV power capability.

In the current hybrid control technology, the above-mentioned power is generally reserved in the form of reserving electric power, that is, reserving the driving electric power required for engine starting. However, the above-mentioned power reservation method, whether it is full-condition power reservation or scenario-identified early power reservation, will result in the early reservation of power in some normal scenarios, thereby causing complaints about the decline of pure electric EV capability.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the following will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0049] The main solution of the embodiments of the present application is: obtaining the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power sent by the battery control system in the vehicle to be controlled; when the permitted discharge power improvement working condition is activated, calculating the target permitted discharge power of the whole vehicle system according to the battery pack power, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power; and improving the actual discharge power of the battery based on the target permitted discharge power of the whole vehicle system, so as to improve the EV capability of the vehicle.

[0050] In a hybrid vehicle, the maximum power of the power system in pure electric EV mode is mainly limited by the discharge capacity permitted by the battery 10s and the power of the P3 motor. In some special scenarios and working conditions, such as low SOC, high temperature, and low temperature, the discharge power permitted by the high-voltage battery 10s will be reduced, resulting in low pure electric EV power. In the process of starting the engine in a sudden acceleration, the engine needs to be started by allocating driving power, and the power capability is greatly improved after starting, which causes the phenomenon of sudden acceleration and power unevenness. In the current hybrid control technology, the method of reserving electric power is generally used to process, that is, reserving the electric power required for starting the engine. However, the above-mentioned method of reserving electric power, whether reserving electric power in all working conditions or reserving electric power in advance in identified scenarios, will cause the pure electric EV capability to decrease in some normal scenarios due to the advance reservation of electric power, thereby causing complaints.

[0051] The application obtains the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power sent by the battery control system in the vehicle to be controlled. When the permitted discharge power improvement working condition is activated, the target permitted use discharge power of the vehicle system is calculated according to the battery pack power, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power, and the second permitted discharge power. Then, the actual use discharge power of the battery is improved based on the target permitted use discharge power of the vehicle system, so as to improve the EV capability of the vehicle. When the permitted discharge power improvement working condition is activated, the target permitted use discharge power of the vehicle system is improved for a short time. Compared with the existing method of reserving the electric power required for starting the engine, the application can improve the target permitted use discharge power of the vehicle system for a short time based on the first and second permitted discharge powers of the battery pack when the permitted discharge power improvement working condition is activated. Then, the actual use discharge power of the battery is improved based on the target permitted use discharge power of the vehicle system until the power improvement working condition is completed. Thus, the EV capability of the hybrid electric vehicle is improved for a short time, the problem of weak power and uneven driving is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

[0052] It should be noted that the execution subject of the application can be a vehicle power control system, which can include a vehicle control unit (VCU), a microcontroller unit (MCU), and the like.

[0053] Based on this, the application embodiment provides a vehicle EV capability improvement method. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of the vehicle EV capability improvement method of the application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the vehicle EV capability improvement method includes the following steps:

[0055] Step S10: obtaining the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power sent by a battery control system in the vehicle to be controlled.

[0056] It can be understood that the vehicle to be controlled refers to a hybrid vehicle that needs to improve EV capability, and the EV capability refers to power capability, which can be reflected by maximum torque and maximum power.

[0057] It should be understood that the battery control system can be a battery management system (BMS), and the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power can be calculated through the battery control system. Specifically, the battery control system can obtain the battery pack power and the battery pack temperature, and then obtain the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power through battery bench testing.

[0058] Further, in the embodiment, the first permitted discharge power is greater than the second permitted discharge power, and the battery pack discharge duration corresponding to the first permitted discharge power is lower than the battery pack discharge duration corresponding to the second permitted discharge power.

[0059] It can be understood that the first permitted discharge power in the embodiment can be a 2s permitted discharge power, and the second permitted discharge power can be a 10s permitted discharge power. The 2s permitted discharge power is greater than the 10s permitted discharge power, for example, the 2s permitted discharge power is 150 kW, and the 10s permitted discharge power is 100 kW. Moreover, the battery pack discharge duration corresponding to the first permitted discharge power is lower than the battery pack discharge duration corresponding to the second permitted discharge power, i.e., 2s is lower than 10s.

[0060] Step S20: when the permitted discharge power improvement condition is activated, calculating the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power according to the battery pack power, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power, and the second permitted discharge power.

[0061] It should be understood that the permitted discharge power improvement condition refers to a condition in which the permitted discharge power needs to be improved. In a conventional case, the actual use discharge power of the battery is the 10s permitted discharge power. When the permitted discharge power improvement condition is activated, the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power can be calculated according to the battery pack power, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power, and the second permitted discharge power, and the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power is between the 2s permitted discharge power and the 10s permitted discharge power.

[0062] It can be understood that after the permission discharge power promotion working condition is activated, a short-term use of EV pure electric capacity is needed for transition, and a short-term permission discharge power function can be activated. After the short-term permission discharge power is activated, considering that the engine starting process or the EV shift process time will exceed 2s, if it is simply constrained within 2s, the driving will be interrupted due to the rapid exit of the short-term permission discharge power. However, if the permission discharge power is promoted for a long time, the high-voltage battery pack has a high-voltage under-voltage risk, so the activation time limit is matched with the maximum constraint of the vehicle power control system. Within the maximum activation time limit, after the engine starting is completed or the EV shift is completed (the target gear or the actual gear is not in EV), the permission discharge power is gradually exited and restored to the normal permission discharge power (10s permission discharge power).

[0063] In a specific implementation, in the case of 2s permission discharge power function activation, the battery 2s permission use power is used as the power system calculation boundary. In a normal case, the battery 2s permission discharge power is much higher than the 10s permission discharge power, and is higher than the maximum rated power of the battery matched by the assembly system. It is unnecessary to use the actual discharge power of the battery beyond the rated power, and in some extremely low temperature and extremely high temperature and extremely low SOC conditions, the battery 2s permission discharge power will not have a greater obvious promotion compared with the 10s permission discharge power. In order to reduce the under-voltage risk, it is unnecessary to use the 2s discharge power or to use the 2s discharge power at a reduced rate. Therefore, the actual 2s discharge power is constrained according to the 10s permission discharge power used in a normal manner, and thus the target permission use discharge power of the vehicle system needs to be calculated.

[0064] Further, in order to accurately determine whether to activate the permission discharge power promotion working condition, in the embodiment, before the step S20, the method further includes: determining an engine starting request corresponding request determination result and a current shift process; performing an EV shift demand judgment according to the current shift process to obtain a demand judgment result; and determining whether to activate the permission discharge power promotion working condition according to the request determination result and the demand judgment result.

[0065] It can be understood that the request determination result can include receiving an engine starting request and not receiving an engine starting request. The current shift process refers to the shift process of the vehicle to be controlled at the current time, for example, from 1st gear to 2nd gear, from 2nd gear to EV gear, etc. Then, the demand judgment result is obtained by performing an EV shift demand judgment according to the current shift process. The demand judgment result can include a gear passing through EV gear. Finally, whether to activate the permission discharge power promotion working condition is determined according to the request determination result and the demand judgment result.

[0066] Further, in order to accurately determine whether to perform the through-EV shift demand determination, in the embodiment, the step of determining whether to activate the discharge power permission promotion condition according to the request determination result and the demand determination result specifically includes: when the request determination result is that the engine start request is received, or the demand determination result is that the target gear of the vehicle to be controlled passes through the EV gear in the engine running state, it is determined that the discharge power permission promotion condition is activated.

[0067] It should be understood that when the request determination result is that the engine start request is received, or the demand determination result is that the target gear of the vehicle to be controlled passes through the EV gear in the engine running state, the target gear refers to the gear to be switched by the vehicle to be controlled, for example, the gears corresponding to the vehicle to be controlled include 1st gear, 2nd gear, EV gear, 3rd gear, 4th gear, when the target gear is the 3rd gear, the gear changes from 1st gear-2nd gear-EV gear-3rd gear, at this time, the EV gear is passed, that is, the target gear passes through the EV gear; or the demand determination result is that the current gear of the vehicle to be controlled is the EV gear, that is, the gear of the vehicle to be controlled at the current time is the EV gear. In the above three cases, it is determined that the discharge power permission promotion condition can be activated.

[0068] Step S30: promoting the actual discharge power of the battery based on the target discharge power of the vehicle system to promote the EV capability of the vehicle.

[0069] It can be understood that the target discharge power of the vehicle system is between the 2s discharge power permission and the 10s discharge power permission, but the target discharge power of the vehicle system in a normal case is the 10s discharge power permission of the battery pack, therefore, adjusting the target discharge power of the vehicle system to the 2s discharge power permission, or between the two, can promote the discharge power permission of the vehicle system from the battery pack, and then promoting the actual discharge power of the battery based on the target discharge power of the vehicle system, thereby promoting the EV capability of the vehicle.

[0070] The embodiment obtains the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power sent by the battery control system in the vehicle to be controlled. When the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, the vehicle system target permitted use discharge power is calculated according to the battery pack electric quantity, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power. Then, the battery actual use discharge power is promoted based on the vehicle system target permitted use discharge power, so as to promote the EV capability of the vehicle. When the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, the battery actual use discharge power is promoted based on the vehicle system target permitted use discharge power in the application. Compared with the existing reserved engine starting use demand driven electric power, the embodiment can promote the vehicle system target permitted use discharge power for a short time when the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, and then promote the battery actual use discharge power based on the vehicle system target permitted use discharge power until the power promotion condition is completed. Therefore, the EV capability of the hybrid electric vehicle is promoted for a short time, the problem of weak power and uneven driving is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

[0071] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the vehicle EV capability promotion method.

[0072] Based on the first embodiment, in the embodiment, the step S20 comprises:

[0073] Step S201: When the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, the initial permitted discharge power is calculated according to the battery pack electric quantity, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power.

[0074] It can be understood that when the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, the initial permitted discharge power can be calculated according to the battery pack electric quantity, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power in the embodiment. The initial permitted discharge power refers to the initial permitted use battery actual use discharge power.

[0075] Further, in order to accurately obtain the initial permitted discharge power, in the embodiment, the step S201 comprises: when the permitted discharge power promotion condition is activated, the power difference between the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power is calculated; the power coefficient is determined according to the battery pack electric quantity and the battery pack temperature, and the power product between the power difference and the power coefficient is calculated; and the sum of the power product and the second permitted discharge power is taken as the initial permitted discharge power.

[0076] It should be understood that, referring to Figure 3, which is a logic diagram of calculating the target permitted discharge power of the vehicle system according to an embodiment of the vehicle EV capability enhancement method of this application, when the permitted discharge power enhancement condition is activated, the power difference between the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power can be calculated, that is, the difference P between the 2s permitted discharge power and the 10s permitted discharge power can be calculated. error .

[0077] Understandably, considering that batteries at extremely low or high temperatures may experience undervoltage due to high discharge power at extremely low SOC, a discharge power coefficient Kr is determined based on the battery pack temperature T and the battery pack SOC to avoid undervoltage caused by a short-term increase in discharge capacity. The Kr coefficient calibration table is shown in Table 1 below. The lower the battery pack SOC, and the lower the battery pack temperature (too high or too low), the lower the Kr coefficient.

[0078] Table 1:

[0079] SOC1SOC2SOC3SOC4SOC5T1Kr11Kr12Kr13Kr14Kr15T2Kr21Kr22Kr23Kr24Kr25T3Kr31Kr32Kr33Kr34Kr35T4Kr41Kr42Kr44Kr44Kr45

[0080] In practical implementation, the power coefficient Kr can be obtained by referring to Table 1 based on the battery pack capacity and battery pack temperature, and the power difference P can be calculated. error The product of the power coefficient Kr is taken as the power product. The sum of the power product and the second permitted discharge power is taken as the initial permitted discharge power. That is, the sum of the power product and the 10s permitted discharge power is taken as the initial permitted discharge power P. BMS_inter .

[0081] Step S202: Determine the permissible electric assist power based on the battery pack capacity.

[0082] Understandably, this embodiment takes into account that if the battery pack capacity is low, excessive use of the actual discharge power of the battery would further reduce the battery pack capacity, thereby increasing the risk of the high-voltage system malfunctioning. To avoid extremely low battery pack capacity, the permissible electric assist power P is determined based on the battery pack capacity. e-boost Table 2 shows P e-boost The calibration table shows that the lower the battery pack charge, the lower the permissible electric assist power P. e-boost The smaller.

[0083] Table 2:

[0084] SOC1 SOC2 SOC3 SOC4 SOC5 Pe-boost1 Pe-boost2 Pe-boost3 Pe-boost4 Pe-boost5

[0085] Step S203: taking the minimum power between the initial permitted discharge power and the electric assist power as the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power.

[0086] It should be understood that the minimum power between the initial permitted discharge power P BMS_inter and the electric assist power P e-boost may be taken as the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power P allow . Through the above control logic, it can be seen that P allow is between the 10s permitted discharge power and the 2s permitted discharge power.

[0087] The embodiment calculates the initial permitted discharge power according to the battery pack electric quantity, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power when the permitted discharge power boosting condition is activated, then determines the permitted use electric assist power according to the battery pack electric quantity, and takes the minimum power between the initial permitted discharge power and the electric assist power as the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power. The embodiment calculates the initial permitted discharge power according to the battery pack electric quantity, the battery pack temperature, the first permitted discharge power and the second permitted discharge power when the permitted discharge power boosting condition is activated, and takes the minimum power between the initial permitted discharge power and the electric assist power as the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power, so that the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power can be automatically and accurately calculated.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the third embodiment of the vehicle EV capability boosting method.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, in the present embodiment, the step S30 comprises:

[0090] Step S301: boosting the battery actual use discharge power based on the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power until the permitted discharge power boosting condition is completed.

[0091] It can be understood that the present embodiment can boost the battery actual use discharge power based on the whole vehicle system target permitted use discharge power, and the battery actual use discharge power is boosted for a short time until the permitted discharge power boosting condition is completed.

[0092] Further, in order to effectively determine whether the permitted discharge power promotion condition is completed, in the embodiment, the step S301 comprises: promoting the actual discharge power of the battery based on the target permitted discharge power of the vehicle system until the engine starts, or when the target gear of the vehicle to be controlled is not in the EV gear and the current gear is not in the EV gear under the engine running state, determining that the permitted discharge power promotion condition is completed.

[0093] It should be understood that the actual discharge power of the battery can be promoted based on the target permitted discharge power of the vehicle system, and the promotion time length can be a preset time length which can be determined according to actual vehicle test and can be set to 2-3s. After the actual discharge power of the battery is promoted for the preset time length, or the engine starts, or when the target gear of the vehicle to be controlled is not in the EV gear and the current gear is not in the EV gear under the engine running state, that is, in the above three cases, it is determined that the permitted discharge power promotion condition is completed.

[0094] Step S302: After the permitted discharge power promotion condition is completed, the actual discharge power of the battery is controlled based on the second permitted discharge power to promote the EV capability of the vehicle.

[0095] It should be understood that after the permitted discharge power promotion condition is completed, the actual discharge power of the battery can be controlled based on the second permitted discharge power, that is, the actual discharge power of the battery is controlled to return to the conventional 10s permitted discharge power to promote the EV capability of the vehicle.
