Solution Overview

Problem

Existing vehicle torque control methods cause persistent vehicle vibration due to fluctuations in wheel speed when actual output torque approaches or exceeds the limited torque value, leading to compromised driving smoothness.

Innovation Solution

A vehicle torque control method that adjusts actual output torque based on a torque adjustment gradient value, determined by calculating differences between actual and limited torque values, and applying differentiated gradient limits for torque increases and decreases to suppress wheel speed fluctuations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a single torque filtering coefficient is applied to reduce the demanded driving torque when the actual output torque approaches or exceeds the limited torque value, then the torque is reduced to meet the limit, but the wheel speed fluctuates and causes persistent vehicle vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetorque limit complianceVSAvoidvehicle vibration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamic gradient adjustment by determining different torque adjustment gradient values based on the sign of the difference between actual and limited torque. When actual torque exceeds limited torque, a negative gradient is applied; when it's below, a positive gradient is applied. This dynamic adjustment stabilizes wheel speed and eliminates persistent vehicle vibration while maintaining torque limit compliance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of torque adjustment gradient from a single fixed value to multiple values based on the torque difference sign. By searching for gradient values corresponding to different difference ranges in a preset gradient value list, the system adapts the torque adjustment strategy to the current operating condition, resolving the contradiction between torque limiting and vibration suppression.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the demanded driving torque is reduced to meet the limited torque value, then the torque limit is satisfied, but the wheel speed fluctuates downward or upward causing persistent vibration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetorque limit complianceVSAvoidwheel speed stability
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback control by calculating the difference between actual and limited torque, determining the sign of this difference, and using it to select appropriate torque adjustment gradient values. This feedback mechanism continuously adjusts the torque to maintain wheel speed stability and prevent persistent vibration while satisfying torque limits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the torque gradient based on real-time torque difference sign, switching between positive and negative gradient values to stabilize wheel speed fluctuations. This dynamic response prevents the persistent vibration caused by static torque filtering approaches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
