The application discloses a torque control method for a range-
extender of a range-extending vehicle during starting of the range-
extender, and relates to the technical field of
vehicle control. The torque control method comprises the following steps: S1, a pre-starting stage: a vehicle controller requests a generator to enter a torque control state, and sends a first torque to the generator to eliminate gear clearance of a
transmission system of the range-
extender; S2, a rotating speed dragging stage: the vehicle controller calculates a second torque which changes in real time according to a difference between a target starting rotating speed and an actual rotating speed of the engine, and sends the second torque to the generator to drag the engine to a first rotating speed; S3, a rotating speed maintaining stage: the vehicle controller controls the torque of the generator to gradually transit from the second torque to a third torque, and makes the rotating speed of the engine decrease from the first rotating speed to a second rotating speed, wherein the third torque is a negative torque; and S4, an ignition stage: after the torque of the generator reaches the third torque, the vehicle controller allows an
engine management system to perform
fuel injection and ignition, simultaneously requests the generator to switch from the torque
control mode to a rotating speed
control mode, and sends a torque request to the
engine management system. The torque control method for the range-extender of the range-extending vehicle during starting of the range-extender can precisely control the torque of the generator by dividing the starting process into four stages, and can improve vibration and knocking
noise of a transmission gear set caused by torque reversal of the generator and the engine. The application further discloses a vehicle.
