[0047] The present application provides a shift control method and device for a double-electric-drive-bridge pure electric commercial vehicle, which are described below respectively.

[0048] As shown in Fig. 1, the present application provides a shift control method for a double-electric-drive-bridge pure electric commercial vehicle, which comprises:

[0049] S101, obtaining the current demand of the driver for the vehicle power, the driving map and the front vehicle data of the vehicle;

[0050] S102, in a case that the current demand of the driver is less than the target power threshold, the slope of the uphill and downhill in the driving map is less than the first target slope threshold, and it is determined based on the front vehicle data that there is no obstructive vehicle in front of the vehicle, one of the two electric drive axles is controlled to be in neutral, the transmission chain between the two electric drive axles is controlled to be disconnected, and the other electric drive axle is controlled to drive and recover energy;

[0051] S103, in a case that it is determined based on the driving map that there is an uphill in front of the vehicle and the slope of the uphill is greater than the second target slope threshold, the drive axle that has been controlled to be in neutral is controlled to be in the first target gear before the vehicle climbs the uphill.

[0052] It can be understood that the shift control method for a pure electric commercial vehicle with double electric drive axles provided by the application is suitable for a pure electric commercial vehicle with a double electric drive axle configuration, and specifically as follows:

[0053] When the current demand of the driver is small, and there is no obvious uphill and downhill in front of the vehicle based on the predictive map, and there is no slow vehicle to obstruct the normal driving of the vehicle, one of the drive axles is controlled to be in neutral, the transmission chain is disconnected, and the other drive axle is used to drive and recover energy, thereby improving the motor load rate and reducing a part of the oil stirring loss and motor loss.

[0054] When it is detected based on the map data that there is an uphill in front of the road and the slope is greater than a certain value, the drive axle that has been controlled to be in neutral is controlled to be in a suitable gear in advance to ensure that the vehicle has enough power when climbing the uphill.

[0055] When it is detected based on the map data that there is a downhill in front of the road or a slow vehicle is about to obstruct the normal driving of the vehicle, the drive axle that has been controlled to be in neutral is controlled to be in a suitable gear in advance to ensure that the vehicle has enough ability when regenerative braking.

[0056] The method provided by the application controls one of the two electric drive axles to be in neutral when the demand power of the vehicle is small, uses the other axle to drive, reduces the oil stirring loss and motor field weakening loss, and optimizes the economy of the whole vehicle. When it is identified that the vehicle will have a large power demand, such as driving power demand or regenerative braking energy recovery power demand, or when the vehicle is about to climb an uphill, the drive axle that has been controlled to be in neutral is controlled to be in a suitable gear in advance, so as to avoid affecting the power response of the whole vehicle. While not affecting the power response of the vehicle, the economy of the whole vehicle is improved.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first target slope threshold is determined based on the following steps:

[0058] The total mass of the vehicle, the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the total vehicle wind resistance coefficient, the total vehicle wind area, the current vehicle speed, and the first whole vehicle demand power of the vehicle driving on a road with a slope of the first target slope threshold are obtained.

[0059] obtaining a first target slope threshold based on the total mass of the vehicle, the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the total vehicle air resistance coefficient, the total vehicle frontal area, the current vehicle speed and the first total vehicle demand power.

[0060] It can be understood that a sensor for measuring the total mass of the vehicle is arranged on the vehicle, and the total mass of the vehicle is obtained through the sensor and uploaded to the CAN bus. The wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the total vehicle air resistance coefficient, the total vehicle frontal area and other parameters can be obtained in advance and then set. The vehicle speed can be detected based on the vehicle speed sensor.

[0061] In some embodiments, the calculation formula of the first target slope threshold is as follows: P1=(mgf+C D Au 2 / 21.15+mgi0)u / 3600

[0062] Wherein, m is the total mass of the vehicle, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, f is the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, C D is the total vehicle air resistance coefficient, A is the total vehicle frontal area, u is the current vehicle speed, i0 is the first target slope threshold, and P1 is the first total vehicle demand power.

[0063] It can be understood that the first target slope threshold i0 corresponds to the motor rated power, so as to calculate i0, when the slope i is less than i0, it can be judged that there is no obvious uphill or downhill in front.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second target slope threshold is determined based on the following steps:

[0065] obtaining the total mass of the vehicle, the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the total vehicle air resistance coefficient, the total vehicle frontal area, the current vehicle speed, and the second total vehicle demand power of the vehicle driving on the road with the second target slope threshold;

[0066] obtaining a second target slope threshold based on the total mass of the vehicle, the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the total vehicle air resistance coefficient, the total vehicle frontal area, the current vehicle speed and the second total vehicle demand power.

[0067] In some embodiments, the calculation formula of the second target slope threshold is as follows: P2=(mgf+C D Au 2 / 21.15+mgi1)u / 3600

[0068] Wherein, m is the total mass of the vehicle, g is the gravitational acceleration constant, f is the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, C DC d is the whole vehicle wind resistance coefficient, A is the whole vehicle wind area, u is the current vehicle speed, i1 is the second target slope threshold, P2 is the second whole vehicle demand power.

[0069] It can be understood that the value of P2 can be the rated power of the motor; when the slope i is detected to be greater than i1, the drive axle which has been engaged in the neutral gear is controlled to engage in the appropriate gear S in advance by a distance d3 before the first occurrence of i being greater than i1.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first target gear is obtained based on the following steps:

[0071] obtaining the current vehicle speed, the motor speed and the wheel radius of the vehicle;

[0072] determining the target gearbox speed ratio based on the product of the motor speed and the wheel radius being at the current vehicle speed;

[0073] determining the first target gear based on the target gearbox speed ratio.

[0074] In some embodiments, the gear shifting control method for the double electric drive axle pure electric commercial vehicle further comprises:

[0075] when it is determined based on the driving map that there is a downhill ahead of the vehicle or that there is an obstacle ahead of the vehicle, controlling the drive axle which has been engaged in the neutral gear to engage in the second target gear.

[0076] In some embodiments, determining based on the driving map that there is a downhill ahead of the vehicle comprises:

[0077] obtaining the slope within a first target distance ahead of the vehicle from the driving map;

[0078] determining the whole vehicle regenerative braking power required to maintain the current vehicle speed when the vehicle is driving on a downhill road;

[0079] determining the downhill target slope based on the whole vehicle regenerative braking power, the whole vehicle total mass, the gravitational acceleration constant, the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, the whole vehicle wind resistance coefficient, the whole vehicle wind area and the current vehicle speed;

[0080] when the slope within the first target distance ahead of the vehicle is greater than the downhill target slope, determining that there is a downhill ahead of the vehicle.

[0081] In some embodiments, determining based on the driving map that there is an obstacle ahead of the vehicle comprises:

[0082] obtaining the vehicle speed of the vehicle closest to the vehicle ahead of the vehicle from the driving map;

[0083] when it is determined that the vehicle speed of the vehicle closest to the vehicle ahead of the vehicle is less than a target vehicle speed threshold, determining that there is an obstacle ahead of the vehicle.

[0084] In some embodiments, the whole vehicle power currently required by the driver is obtained, comprising:

[0085] The current torque and current speed of the two motors of the dual motor drive axle are obtained;

[0086] The current power of the first motor of the two motors of the dual motor drive axle is determined based on the current torque and current speed of the first motor, and the current power of the second motor of the two motors of the dual motor drive axle is determined based on the current torque and current speed of the second motor;

[0087] The whole vehicle power currently required by the driver is obtained based on the sum of the current power of the first motor and the current power of the second motor.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the gear shifting control method of the dual motor drive axle pure electric commercial vehicle includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S201: When the current whole vehicle power Pr required by the driver is small, and there is no obvious uphill or downhill ahead based on the driving map, and there is no slow vehicle to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle, one of the drive axles is controlled to engage in neutral, the transmission chain is disconnected, and the other drive axle is used for driving and energy recovery, thereby improving the motor load rate and reducing a part of the oil stirring loss and motor loss;

[0090] Specifically, the whole vehicle power Pr required by the driver is:

[0091] Pr=Tm1*n m1 / 9550+Tm2*n m2 / 9550

[0092] In the formula, Tm1 is the current torque of the motor of the drive axle 1, n m1 is the current speed of the motor of the drive axle 1, Tm2 is the current torque of the motor of the drive axle 2, n m2 is the current speed of the motor of the drive axle 2, and the above data can be obtained in real time through the CAN bus; When the whole vehicle power Pr required by the driver is less than a certain value P0, the preferred P0 can be the rated power of the motor, and a certain time t0 is maintained, and the preferred t0 can be 3 seconds, that is, the whole vehicle power Pr required by the current driver is determined to be small;

[0093] Further, it is determined that there is no obvious uphill or downhill ahead based on the predictive map: the slope i within a distance d0 ahead is obtained from the map module, the preferred distance d0 can be 3 km, and it is determined whether the slope i is less than a certain value i0, wherein i0 can be initially selected by the following formula: P1=(mgf+C D Au 2 / 21.15+mgi0)u / 3600

[0094] wherein m is the total mass of the vehicle, g is the gravity acceleration constant, f is the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, C D is the total vehicle wind resistance coefficient, A is the total vehicle wind area, u is the current vehicle speed, i0 is the first target slope threshold, P1 is the first total vehicle demand power.

[0095] The total vehicle demand power P1 corresponding to the slope i0 can take the rated power of the motor, so as to calculate i0, when the slope i is less than i0, it can be judged that there is no obvious uphill and downhill in front.

[0096] Further, it is judged that there is no slow vehicle in front to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle: the speed u1 of the vehicle closest to the front within a certain distance d1 is obtained from the map module, preferably, d1 can be taken as 500m, whether the speed u1 is less than a certain speed u0 is judged, preferably, u0 can take the speed limit speed u max minus 10, the speed limit speed u max can be obtained through the map module, when the speed u1 is not less than u0, it can be judged that there is no slow vehicle in front to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle; one of the drive axles is engaged into neutral, the transmission chain is disconnected, and the other drive axle is used for driving and energy recovery; preferably, in order to make the two drive axles wear evenly, the above one drive axle can be drive axle 1, and the other axle is drive axle 2, after the vehicle drives a certain mileage, preferably, for example, after driving 100km, the above one drive axle can be switched to drive axle 2, and the other axle is switched to drive axle 1, and the switching is repeated.

[0097] Step S202: when it is detected based on the map data that there is an uphill in front of the road, and the slope i is greater than a certain value i1, the drive axle engaged into neutral is controlled to engage into the appropriate gear in advance to ensure that the vehicle has enough power when climbing uphill;

[0098] Specifically, the slope i1 within a distance d2 in front is obtained from the map module, preferably, the distance d1 can be taken as 3km, whether the slope i is less than a certain value i1 is judged, wherein i1 can be calculated by the following formula: P2=(mgf+C D Au 2 / 21.15+mgi1)u / 3600

[0099] wherein m is the total mass of the vehicle, g is the gravity acceleration constant, f is the wheel rolling resistance coefficient, C D is the total vehicle wind resistance coefficient, A is the total vehicle wind area, u is the current vehicle speed, i1 is the second target slope threshold, P2 is the second total vehicle demand power.

[0100] The value of P2 can be the rated power of the motor; when the slope i is detected to be greater than i1, the drive axle that has been engaged in the neutral gear is controlled to be engaged in the appropriate gear S a distance d3 before the first time i is greater than i1.

[0101] Preferably, the distance d3 can be 200 m, and the appropriate gear S can be calculated by the following formula: Ra=0.377rn1 / u

[0102] In the formula, Ra is the gear ratio corresponding to the gear S, r is the wheel radius, and n1 is the motor speed. Taking the electric drive axle matched with the 2AMT as an example, the gearbox has two gears, 1st gear and 2nd gear, and the corresponding gear ratios are 45.5 and 15.5, respectively. By substituting Ra equal to 45.5 and 15.5 into the above formula, two values of the motor speed n1 are calculated, and it is determined which of the two values is located in the speed interval n L and n H Preferably, the speed interval n L and n H can be determined according to the high-efficiency interval of the motor system efficiency map, for example, n L is 3000 rpm, and n H is 7500 rpm.

[0103] Step S203: When it is detected based on the map data that there is a downhill in front of the road or a slow vehicle is about to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle, the drive axle that has been engaged in the neutral gear is controlled to be engaged in the appropriate gear in advance to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient ability when regenerative braking.

[0104] Specifically, whether there is a downhill in front of the road is detected based on the map data: the slope i within a distance d4 in front is obtained from the map module, and the distance d4 is preferably 3 km. It is determined whether the slope i is greater than a certain value i2, wherein i2 can be initially selected by solving and calculating the following formula: P3=(mgi2-mgf-CDAu2 / 21.15)u / 3600

[0105] In the formula, P3 is the whole vehicle regenerative braking power required to maintain the current vehicle speed u on the slope with the slope i2, and P3 can be the rated power of the motor. When the slope i is greater than i2, it is determined that there is a downhill demand in front of the road.

[0106] Further, it is judged whether a slow vehicle is about to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle: the vehicle speed u2 of the vehicle closest to the vehicle within a distance d5 in front of the vehicle is obtained from the map module, preferably, d5 can be 200 m, and it is judged whether the vehicle speed u2 is less than a certain vehicle speed u0, when the vehicle speed u2 is less than u0, it is judged that a slow vehicle is about to hinder the normal driving of the vehicle in front; before i is greater than i2 or u2 is less than u0 for the first time, the judgment condition closer to the current vehicle position is taken, and the drive axle with engaged neutral is controlled to engage the appropriate gear S in advance by a distance d2, so as to ensure that the vehicle has enough ability when regenerative braking.

[0107] As shown in Fig. 3, the application also provides a shift control device 300 of a double electric drive axle pure electric commercial vehicle, comprising:

[0108] A data acquisition module 301 is configured to acquire the current demand of the driver for the vehicle power, a driving map and front vehicle data of the vehicle;
