Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for vehicle driving control using belt-driven starter generators (BSG) result in slow vehicle starting speeds and low control degrees due to power hysteresis issues during the engine starting process.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for vehicle driving control that utilizes a BSG motor to provide a preset driving torque to start the engine without actually starting the engine, thereby avoiding power hysteresis and improving starting speed and control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the engine is started using traditional oil injection and ignition processes, then the vehicle can be started, but power hysteresis occurs causing slow starting speed and low control degree

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevehicle starting speedVSAvoidstarting time delay
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the problematic oil injection and ignition processes from the starting sequence. By using the BSG motor to directly drive the engine crankshaft without these traditional starting processes, the power hysteresis is eliminated and starting speed is improved.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The BSG motor performs preliminary action by pre-spinning the engine crankshaft to a predetermined speed before actual engine combustion begins. This preliminary rotation prepares the engine for efficient combustion and eliminates the delay associated with traditional starting processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the BSG motor is controlled to start the engine with traditional processes, then the vehicle starts, but the control degree during starting is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol degree during startingVSAvoidstarting control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control of the BSG motor during the starting process, continuously adjusting the motor speed and torque based on real-time engine parameters. This dynamic adjustment enhances control degree and allows for optimized starting performance under different conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The control system incorporates feedback mechanisms that monitor engine parameters during starting and adjust BSG motor output accordingly. This closed-loop control improves the control degree by responding to actual engine conditions rather than following a fixed starting sequence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
