Detailed Description

For example, when the controller 50 controls the clutch C1 to be disengaged, the engine 10 is disconnected from the wheel end, and the engine 10 does not directly output power to the wheel end, whereas when the controller 50 controls the clutch C1 to be engaged, the engine 10 is connected to the wheel end, and the engine 10 directly outputs power to the wheel end, so that the direct drive of the engine 10 is realized. Compared with the traditional pure extended range type hybrid electric vehicle, the structure has an engine direct-drive path, so that the energy conversion loss caused by the fact that the traditional pure extended range type hybrid electric vehicle is short of the engine direct-drive path and the engine is only capable of generating power through the generator and then providing the power to the driving motor to drive even if the engine is very efficient (the rotating speed and the torque of the engine are both efficient), and the energy conversion loss is further caused by the fact that the power battery can frequently work in a charging and discharging state, and the economical efficiency of the whole vehicle is effectively improved.

Optionally, the motor shafts of the driving motor 20 and the generator 30 are arranged in parallel, and compared with other arrangement modes, such as coaxial arrangement of the driving motor 20 and the generator 30, the parallel arrangement mode of the embodiment has low requirement on the design of the motor, so that the high-power generator is easier to arrange and has low cost.

The generator 30 may be a flat wire motor, the generator 30 is connected between the clutch C1 and the engine 10, the generator 30 is directly connected to the engine 10 through a gear, the controller 50 may drive the generator 30 to generate electricity by controlling the engine 10 to work, and the generated electricity may be controlled by the controller 50 to charge the power battery 40 or supply power to the driving motor 20.

Alternatively, as shown with reference to FIG. 1a, the hybrid powertrain may also include a transmission 70 and a final drive 80. Referring to fig. 1b, the transmission 70 may further include gears Z1, Z2, Z3, and Z4, wherein a central shaft of the gear Z1 is connected to one end of the clutch C1, a gear Z1 is engaged with the gear Z2, a gear Z2 is engaged with the gear Z3, a central shaft of the gear Z3 is connected to the driving motor 20, a central shaft of the gear Z2 is connected to a central shaft of the gear Z4, and a gear Z4 is engaged with a main reduction gear of the main reduction gear 80. Of course, the transmission 70 may take other configurations as well, and is not limited thereto.

The power battery 40 may be a blade battery, the power battery 40 is electrically connected to the driving motor 20 and the generator 30, respectively, and under the control of the controller 50, the power battery 40 may supply power to the driving motor 20, or convert ac output by the generator 30 or the driving motor 20 into dc and then charge the power battery 40, that is, the power battery 40 may be charged by the generator 30 or the driving motor 20.

The controller 50 is connected to the engine 10, the driving motor 20, the generator 30, the power battery 40 and the clutch C1, and the controller 50 can send control signals to the engine 10, the driving motor 20, the generator 30, the power battery 40 and the clutch C1 to control the engine 10, the driving motor 20, the generator 30, the power battery 40 and the clutch C1.

The controller 50 determines whether the power conservation function of the hybrid vehicle is turned on, for example, a power conservation function key such as SAVE key is provided on the vehicle, and when a user has a power conservation requirement (for example, the user has a clear target power conservation requirement which may be used for supplying power to the hybrid vehicle as a mobile energy storage power station after the hybrid vehicle arrives at a destination, etc.), the key can be pressed, and then the controller 50 determines that the power conservation function of the hybrid vehicle is turned on; for another example, the vehicle may automatically determine whether to start the power conservation function according to actual conditions (e.g., determine a congestion condition with a predictable long distance ahead through a map or navigation information, ensure that the vehicle travels in an EV mode on a congested road section ahead, etc.). That is, the power conservation function can be started manually or automatically.

When the power conservation function of the hybrid vehicle is turned on, which indicates that the SOC of the power battery needs to be quickly adjusted to the power conservation target SOC, that is, there is a demand for quick power generation, the controller 50 determines the power conservation target SOC of the hybrid vehicle. The power-saving target SOC may be set by a user according to actual requirements, or may be determined by the vehicle according to actual conditions, for example, a power-saving electric quantity setting port is provided on the vehicle, the user may set a target power-saving electric quantity through the port, and the controller 50 may determine the power-saving target SOC of the hybrid vehicle according to the target power-saving electric quantity set by the user; for another example, the vehicle may adjust the SOC balance point according to actual conditions and the like, where the SOC balance point is the power conservation target SOC, and for example, when the vehicle determines a congestion condition with a predictable long distance ahead through a map or navigation information, to ensure that the vehicle travels in an EV mode on a congested road section ahead, the SOC balance point may be increased at this time, and the power conservation target SOC is the increased SOC balance point. Therefore, interaction of the target power conservation quantity is realized.

After determining the power conservation target SOC of the hybrid vehicle, the controller 50 obtains the SOC of the power battery 40, and determines whether a difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery 40 is greater than a first preset value (for example, 10%), if so, it indicates that a difference between the SOC of the power battery 40 and the power conservation target SOC is large, at this time, the controller 50 controls the hybrid vehicle to enter a first series mode, which is also called a full-operating-condition series mode, in which the controller 50 controls the engine 10 to drive the generator 30 to generate electricity, and the generated electricity supplies electricity to the driving motor 20 to provide a required driving demand on one hand, and continuously charges the power battery 40 on the other hand, so that the SOC of the power battery 40 can rapidly reach the power conservation target SOC to meet the power conservation demand of a user.

It should be noted that, in the first series mode, the engine 10 always charges the power battery 40, the power battery 40 is only charged but not discharged, and the parallel mode is not entered at this time, because the parallel connection limits the power generation torque due to the external characteristic line of the engine 10, the output torque of the engine when operating on the economy line is small, the purpose of quickly supplementing power cannot be achieved, and the series mode and the parallel mode are frequently switched, the loss is large, and the power conservation of the power battery is not facilitated, so when the difference between the SOC of the power battery 40 and the power conservation target SOC is large, the purpose of quickly conserving power can be achieved by controlling the hybrid vehicle to be in the first series mode.

From this, when the power conservation function of hybrid vehicle was opened, confirm the power conservation target SOC of hybrid vehicle, and obtain power battery's SOC, and control hybrid vehicle and get into first series mode when the difference between power conservation target SOC and power battery's SOC is greater than first default, drive the generator through the engine and generate electricity, when giving driving motor power supply, continuously charge for power battery, can satisfy user's demand to energy management from two dimensions, not only can the interactive target power conservation electric quantity, can also the interactive speed that reaches the target electric quantity, promote the control of user management whole car energy and experience.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the hybrid vehicle is operating in the first series mode, the controller 50 is further configured to control the engine 10 to operate at a second economy line, and determine a second series generated limiting power according to the second economy line and a second rotational speed limiting curve of the engine 10, and determine a second constant power generated power according to the second constant power generation curve of the engine 10, and acquire the charging power of the power battery 40 and the drive required power of the hybrid vehicle, and determine the series generated power of the engine 10 according to the second series generated limiting power, the second constant power generated power, the charging power of the power battery 40, and the drive required power of the hybrid vehicle.

Further, the controller 50 is further configured to determine a sum of the charging power of the power battery 40 and the drive demand power of the hybrid vehicle, and determine a first larger value between the sum of the charging power of the power battery 40 and the drive demand power of the hybrid vehicle and the second constant-power generated power; and taking the smaller value between the first larger value and the second series power generation limiting power as the series power generation power of the engine.

The rotation speed limit curve is the maximum rotation speed curve that the engine 10 can allow in the entire vehicle speed range when NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) is satisfied. The series generated limited power refers to the maximum output power that the engine 10 can allow in the full vehicle speed range while operating on the economy line (the first economy line or the second economy line) and while satisfying NVH. The constant power generation curve is a power curve in which the engine 10 drives the generator 30 to generate power constantly under the premise of comprehensively considering the driving power demand and the economic demand at each vehicle speed. The constant power generation power refers to the constant power generation power of the generator 30 meeting the requirements of various vehicle speeds. The series generated power refers to the generated power of the engine 10 driving the generator 30 in the series mode.

It should be noted that the plurality of economy lines in the series mode of the engine 10 may include, for example, two economy lines, i.e., a first economy line and a second economy line, as shown in fig. 2, where the first economy line and the second economy line are respectively the operating curves with the best efficiency and the second economy line in the full speed range of the engine 10, and the output torque of the engine 10 operating in the second economy line at the same speed is equal to or greater than the output torque of the engine 10 operating in the first economy line. The number of the speed limiting curves of the engine 10 may include a plurality of curves, and taking fig. 3 as an example, two curves may be included, which are a first speed limiting curve and a second speed limiting curve, respectively, and the speed corresponding to the first speed limiting curve of the engine 10 is less than or equal to the speed corresponding to the second speed limiting curve of the engine 10 at the same speed. The constant power generation curve of the engine 10 may include a plurality of curves, for example, as shown in fig. 4, two curves may be included, which are a first constant power generation curve and a second constant power generation curve, respectively, and the constant power generation corresponding to the first constant power generation curve of the engine 10 is smaller than the constant power generation corresponding to the second constant power generation curve of the engine 10 at the same vehicle speed.

Specifically, when the hybrid vehicle operates in the first series mode, the controller 50 controls the engine 10 to operate on the second economy line shown in fig. 2, and obtains the second series electric power generation limiting power P1_ C according to the second economy line and the second rotation speed limiting curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 3, specifically, the rotation speed of the engine 10 may be determined from the second rotation speed limiting curve in fig. 3 according to the vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle, the output torque of the engine may be determined from the second economy line in fig. 2 according to the rotation speed, and the second series electric power generation limiting power P1_ C of the engine 10 may be determined according to the rotation speed and the torque. Meanwhile, the second constant power generation power P2_ C is determined from the second constant power generation curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 4, and specifically, the second constant power generation power P2_ C may be determined from the second constant power generation curve shown in fig. 4 according to the vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle. Meanwhile, the driving required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle at this time is calculated according to the conditions of the accelerator and the vehicle speed, and the charging power P4 of the power battery 40 is obtained, specifically, the charging power P4 of the power battery 40 can be determined from the power generation curve of the power battery 40 shown in fig. 5 according to the vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle (it should be noted that, as shown in fig. 5, the charging power of the power battery 40 is in an ascending trend along with the increase of the vehicle speed, so as to meet the charging speed of the power battery at a high speed as much as possible, and ensure the energy requirement of the power battery at a high speed). Finally, the series generated power of the engine 10, i.e., the series generated power min [ P1_ C, max (P2_ C, P3+ P4) ], is determined based on the second series generated limiting power P1_ C, the second constant power generated power P2_ C, the charging power P4 of the power battery 40 and the driving required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle, that is, for the purpose of power conservation, the power of the series generated power first needs to satisfy P3, and the additional generated power, i.e., the charging power P4 of the power battery 40 is added, and when P3+ P4 is smaller than P2_ C, the P2_ C constant power generation is performed for power compensation while being limited to the series generated limiting power P1_ C. Therefore, the power generated in series is high, and the power-preserving capability of the whole vehicle is strong.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is greater than the second preset value and less than or equal to the first preset value, the controller 50 is further configured to acquire a vehicle speed and a wheel-end demand torque of the hybrid vehicle, and determine a first wheel-end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle enters the parallel mode and a second wheel-end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle exits the parallel mode according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed. When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset vehicle speed threshold value, and the wheel end required torque is greater than or equal to a first wheel end torque threshold value and less than or equal to a second wheel end torque threshold value, controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a first parallel mode; and controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a second series mode when the vehicle speed is less than a preset vehicle speed threshold, or when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset vehicle speed threshold and the wheel end required torque is less than a first wheel end torque threshold, or when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset vehicle speed threshold and the wheel end required torque is greater than a second wheel end torque threshold.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the hybrid vehicle is operated in the second series mode, the controller 50 is further configured to control the engine 10 to operate at the second economy line, and determine a second series generated limiting power based on the second economy line and a second rotational speed limiting curve of the engine 10, and determine a second constant power generated power based on the second constant power generated curve of the engine 10, and obtain the driving demand power of the hybrid vehicle, wherein a second larger value between the driving demand power of the hybrid vehicle and the second constant power generated power is determined, and a smaller value between the second larger value and the second series generated limiting power is taken as the series generated power of the engine 10.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the hybrid vehicle is operating in the first parallel mode, the controller 50 is further configured to control the engine 10 to operate in the second direct-drive economy line if the wheel-end required torque is equal to or less than a difference between the output torque when the engine 10 is operating in the first direct-drive economy line and the first torque threshold value, so that the engine 10 charges the power battery 40 with the output surplus torque through the drive motor 20; if the wheel end required torque is larger than the difference between the output torque when the engine 10 works on the first direct-drive economy line and the first torque threshold value and is smaller than the difference between the output torque when the engine 10 works on the second direct-drive economy line and the second torque threshold value, controlling the engine 10 to work on the economy line in the last state; if the wheel end required torque is larger than or equal to the difference between the output torque when the engine 10 works on the second direct-drive economy line and the second torque threshold value, controlling the engine 10 to work on the third direct-drive economy line so that the engine 10 can charge the power battery 40 with the output redundant torque through the driving motor 20; the first direct-drive economic line is an optimal economic line in a parallel mode, the third direct-drive economic line is basically overlapped with an external characteristic line of the engine, and the second direct-drive economic line is located between the first direct-drive economic line and the third direct-drive economic line.

It should be noted that the operating region of the engine 10 includes an economy zone in which the engine can always operate at high efficiency, and the economy zone may include a plurality of direct drive economy lines, and the engine is operated specifically on the direct drive economy lines of the economy zone. Taking fig. 7 as an example, three direct-drive economic lines may be included, which are a first direct-drive economic line, a second direct-drive economic line and a third direct-drive economic line, respectively, where the first direct-drive economic line is an optimal economic line in a parallel mode, the third direct-drive economic line is substantially coincident with an external characteristic line of the engine, and the second direct-drive economic line is located between the first direct-drive economic line and the third direct-drive economic line.

Specifically, when the difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is greater than a second preset value (e.g., 5%) and less than or equal to a first preset value (e.g., 10%), indicating that there is a certain difference between the SOC of the power battery 40 and the power conservation target SOC, the controller 50 obtains the vehicle speed and the wheel-end required torque of the hybrid vehicle, and determines a first wheel-end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle enters the parallel mode and a second wheel-end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle exits the parallel mode by looking up a table according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed, as shown in fig. 6B, the first wheel-end torque threshold value T1_ C is smaller than the output torque T4_ C when the engine 10 operates in the third direct-drive economy line, and the second wheel-end torque threshold value T2_ C is equal to the output torque T4_ C when the engine 10 operates in the third direct-drive economy line (it can be understood that, when there is a certain difference between the SOC of the power battery 40 and the power conservation target SOC, it is desirable to generate as much power as possible without making the overall vehicle economy too low, so the first wheel end torque threshold T1_ C and the second wheel end torque threshold T2_ C may be determined with reference to the output torque T4_ C of the engine 10 operating in the third direct drive economy line). As shown in fig. 6B, when the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the preset vehicle speed threshold value, and the wheel end required torque is equal to or higher than the first wheel end torque threshold value T1_ C and equal to or lower than the second wheel end torque threshold value T2_ C, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the first parallel mode; and controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter the second series mode when the vehicle speed is less than a preset vehicle speed threshold, or when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset vehicle speed threshold and the wheel end required torque is less than the first wheel end torque threshold T1_ C, or when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to the preset vehicle speed threshold and the wheel end required torque is greater than the second wheel end torque threshold T2_ C. That is, when the difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is greater than the second preset value and equal to or less than the first preset value, the hybrid vehicle is prohibited from entering the EV mode, and is operated in the first parallel mode or the second series mode.

When the hybrid vehicle is operated in the second series mode, the controller 50 controls the engine 10 to operate at the second economy line shown in fig. 2, determines a second series generated limiting power P1_ C from the second economy line and the second rotational speed limiting curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 3, determines a second constant power generated power P2_ C from the second constant power generated curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 4, and obtains a driving required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle, and finally determines a series generated power of the engine 10, i.e., a series generated power of min [ P1_ C, max (P2_ C, P3) ] from the second series generated limiting power P1_ C, the second constant power generated power P2_ C, and the driving required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle, that is, to achieve the purpose of power conservation, the series generated power first needs to satisfy P3, when P3 is smaller than P2_ C, then P2_ C constant power generation is performed for power compensation while being limited by the series generated limiting power P1_ C. Therefore, the power limit of the series power generation is widened to a certain extent, the constant power of the series power generation is higher, and the power-preserving capability of the whole vehicle is strong. It should be noted that in the second series mode, the power battery 40 is not operated, and the power battery 40 can be charged if the engine 10 has excess energy, and only responds to the wheel-end demand if there is no excess energy.

When the hybrid vehicle is operated in the first parallel mode, if the wheel-end required torque is less than or equal to the difference between the output torque T4_ a (obtainable by table lookup) when the engine 10 is operated in the first direct-drive economy line shown in fig. 7 and the first torque threshold, the engine 10 is controlled to operate in the second direct-drive economy line so that the engine 10 charges the power battery 40 with the output surplus torque through the driving motor 20, that is, to meet the power generation requirement, the engine 10 may be operated in the second direct-drive economy line in advance instead of continuing to operate in the first direct-drive economy line, so that the surplus torque may be used for parallel power generation by the driving generator 30 or the driving motor 20, thereby facilitating rapid power conservation, wherein the power generation power of the driving motor 20 is higher than the power generation power of the generator 30, and the idle loss of the driving motor 20 is greater than the idle loss of the generator 30, therefore, the driving motor 20 is preferably used for generating power to achieve the purpose of fast power supplement. If the wheel-end required torque is greater than the difference between the output torque T4_ a when the engine 10 operates in the first direct-drive economy line shown in fig. 7 and the first torque threshold value and is less than the difference between the output torque T4_ B (which can be obtained by table lookup) when the engine 10 operates in the second direct-drive economy line and the second torque threshold value, the engine 10 is controlled to operate in the economy line in the last state, so that frequent switching of the operating line of the engine 10 can be avoided. If the wheel end demand torque is equal to or greater than the difference between the output torque T4_ B when the engine 10 is operating in the second direct drive economy line and the second torque threshold, the engine 10 is controlled to operate in the third direct-drive economy line so that the engine 10 charges the power battery 40 with the output surplus torque through the driving motor 20, that is, to meet the power generation requirement, the engine 10 may be operated in the third direct-drive economy line in advance, rather than continuing to operate in the second direct drive economy line, so that the excess torque can be used for parallel power generation by driving either the generator 30 or the motor 20, thereby facilitating rapid power conservation, the generated power of the driving motor 20 is higher than the generated power of the driving generator 30, and the idle loss of the driving motor 20 is greater than the idle loss of the generator 30, so the driving motor 20 is preferably used to generate power to achieve the purpose of fast power compensation. Therefore, the condition of high torque economy switching is advanced during parallel power generation, and the working time and probability of parallel high torque are increased, so that the power retention capacity during parallel power generation in the first parallel mode is improved.

It should be noted that when the direct drive torque allocated to the engine 10 is smaller than the output torque of the economic line when the engine 10 operates in the economic zone, it is indicated that the direct drive non-high-efficiency zone of the engine 10 is entered, and at this time, the parallel mode exits, as shown in fig. 7, and when the direct drive torque allocated to the engine 10 is smaller than the output torque corresponding to the direct drive exit line, the parallel mode exits, so as to ensure that the engine is in the high-efficiency zone when the engine is in the operating state.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is greater than a third preset value and equal to or less than a second preset value, the controller 50 is further configured to obtain a vehicle speed and a wheel end demand torque of the hybrid vehicle, and determine a first wheel end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle enters the parallel mode and a second wheel end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle exits the parallel mode according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset vehicle speed threshold value, wherein the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the second parallel mode when the wheel end demand torque is greater than or equal to the first wheel end torque threshold value and equal to or less than the second wheel end torque threshold value; controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter the EV mode when the wheel end required torque is smaller than a first wheel end torque threshold value; controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter a third series mode when the wheel end required torque is greater than a second wheel end torque threshold; and the third preset value is smaller than the second preset value, and the second preset value is smaller than the first preset value.

In some embodiments of the invention, when the vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the controller 50 is further configured to determine a third wheel end torque threshold at which the hybrid vehicle enters the series mode according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed, wherein when the wheel end required torque is equal to or greater than the third wheel end torque threshold, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the third series mode; and controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter the EV mode when the wheel end required torque is smaller than the third wheel end torque threshold value.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the hybrid vehicle operates in the third series mode, the controller 50 is further configured to control the engine 10 to operate at the first economy line, and determine the first series generation limiting power from the first economy line and the first rotation speed limiting curve of the engine 10, and determine the first constant-power generation power from the first constant-power generation curve of the engine 10, and obtain the drive demand power of the hybrid vehicle, wherein a third value between the drive demand power of the hybrid vehicle and the first constant-power generation power is determined, and a smaller value between a third larger value and the first series generation limiting power is taken as the series generation power of the engine 10; the first economy line and the second economy line are the operating curves with the best efficiency and the second best efficiency in the full speed range of the engine 10, and the output torque of the engine 10 operating in the second economy line is equal to or greater than the output torque of the engine 10 operating in the first economy line at the same speed.

In some embodiments of the present invention, when the hybrid vehicle is operating in the second parallel mode, the controller 50 is further configured to control the engine 10 to operate in the second direct-drive economy line if the wheel-end required torque is equal to or less than a difference between the output torque when the engine 10 is operating in the first direct-drive economy line and the third torque threshold value, so that the engine 10 charges the power battery 40 with the output surplus torque through the driving motor 20 or the generator 30; if the wheel end required torque is larger than the difference between the output torque of the engine 10 when the engine 10 works on the first direct-drive economic line and the third torque threshold value and is smaller than the difference between the output torque of the engine 10 when the engine 10 works on the second direct-drive economic line and the fourth torque threshold value, controlling the engine 10 to work on the corresponding direct-drive economic line according to the requirement of the engine 10; if the wheel end required torque is larger than or equal to the difference between the output torque of the engine working in the second direct-drive economy line and the fourth torque threshold value, controlling the engine 10 to work in the third direct-drive economy line, so that the engine 10 can charge the power battery 40 with the output redundant torque through the driving motor 20; the first direct-drive economic line is an optimal economic line in a parallel mode, the third direct-drive economic line is basically overlapped with an external characteristic line of the engine, and the second direct-drive economic line is located between the first direct-drive economic line and the third direct-drive economic line.

Specifically, when the difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is greater than a third preset value (e.g., -5%) and less than or equal to a second preset value (e.g., 5%), which indicates that the SOC of the power battery 40 is relatively close to the power conservation target SOC, the controller 50 obtains the vehicle speed and the wheel end required torque of the hybrid vehicle, and determines a first wheel end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle enters the parallel mode and a second wheel end torque threshold value at which the hybrid vehicle exits the parallel mode by looking up a table according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed when the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset vehicle speed threshold value, as shown in fig. 6A, the first wheel end torque threshold value T1_ a is smaller than the output torque T4_ B when the engine 10 operates in the second direct-drive economy line, the second wheel end torque threshold value T2_ a is larger than the output torque T4_ B when the engine 10 operates in the second direct-drive economy line (it can be understood that, when the SOC of the power battery 40 is relatively close to the power conservation target SOC, the economy is improved as much as possible while ensuring power generation, and therefore the first wheel end torque threshold T1_ a and the second wheel end torque threshold T2_ a may be determined with reference to the output torque T4_ B when the engine 10 operates in the second direct drive economy line). Also, as shown in fig. 6A, when the wheel end required torque is equal to or greater than the first wheel end torque threshold T1_ a and equal to or less than the second wheel end torque threshold T2_ a, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the second parallel mode; controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter the EV mode when the wheel end required torque is smaller than a first wheel end torque threshold value T1_ A; when the wheel end required torque is greater than the second wheel end torque threshold T2_ a, the hybrid vehicle is controlled to enter the third series mode. When the vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the controller 50 determines a third wheel end torque threshold T3_ a of the hybrid vehicle entering the series mode through a table lookup according to the SOC of the power battery 40 and the vehicle speed, and controls the hybrid vehicle to enter the third series mode when the wheel end required torque is greater than or equal to the third wheel end torque threshold T3_ a, as shown in fig. 6A; and controlling the hybrid vehicle to enter the EV mode when the wheel end required torque is smaller than a third wheel end torque threshold value T3_ A.

That is to say, when the vehicle speed is less than the preset vehicle speed threshold, the actual working mode is only the EV mode and the third series mode, the third wheel end torque threshold entering the third series mode is determined according to the SOC and the vehicle speed condition, if the wheel end required torque is less than the third wheel end torque threshold, the EV mode is entered, otherwise, the third series mode is entered. When the vehicle speed is greater than or equal to a preset vehicle speed threshold value, the actual working modes comprise an EV mode, a third series mode and a second parallel mode, a first wheel end torque threshold value entering the second parallel mode and a second wheel end torque threshold value exiting the parallel mode are judged according to the SOC and the vehicle speed condition, and if the wheel end required torque is smaller than the first wheel end torque threshold value, the EV mode is entered; if the wheel end required torque is larger than the second wheel end torque threshold value, entering a third series mode; and if the first wheel end torque threshold value is smaller than or equal to the wheel end required torque and smaller than or equal to the second wheel end torque threshold value, entering a second parallel mode. And in the second parallel mode state, if the wheel end required torque is larger than the output torque T4_ B of the engine working on the second direct-drive economy line, the engine works in the parallel power-assisted state, otherwise, the engine works in the parallel power generation state.

When the hybrid vehicle is operating in the EV mode, all of the wheel-end required torque is provided by the drive motor 20 driven by the power battery 40.

When the hybrid vehicle is operated in the third series mode, the controller 50 controls the engine 10 to operate at the first economy shown in fig. 2, determines the first series electric power generation limiting power P1_ a from the first economy and the first rotation speed limiting curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 3, determines the first constant electric power generation power P2_ a from the first constant electric power generation curve of the engine 10 shown in fig. 4, and obtains the drive required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle, and finally determines the series electric power generation power of the engine 10, i.e., the series electric power generation power is min [ P1_ a, max (P2_ a, P3) ] from the first series electric power generation limiting power P1_ a, the first constant electric power generation power P2_ a, and the drive required power P3 of the hybrid vehicle, that is, for the purpose of conserving power, the series electric power first needs to satisfy P3, when P3 is smaller than P2_ a, then P2_ a constant power generation is performed for power compensation while being limited by the series generated limit power P1_ a. Therefore, the power limit of the series power generation is widened to a certain extent, the constant power of the series power generation is higher, and the power-preserving capability of the whole vehicle is strong.

When the hybrid vehicle operates in the second parallel mode, if the wheel-end required torque is less than or equal to the difference between the output torque T4_ a when the engine 10 operates in the first direct-drive economy line and a third torque threshold (the third torque threshold is less than the first torque threshold), controlling the engine 10 to operate in the second direct-drive economy line, so that the engine 10 charges the power battery 40 with the output redundant torque through the driving motor 20 or the generator 30, that is, to meet the power generation requirement, the engine 10 can be operated in the second direct-drive economy line in advance, and the redundant torque is used for parallel power generation through the driving generator 30 or the driving motor 20; if the wheel-end required torque is greater than the difference between the output torque T4_ a and the third torque threshold when the engine 10 operates on the first direct-drive economy line and is less than the difference between the output torque T4_ B and the fourth torque threshold (the fourth torque threshold is less than the second torque threshold) when the engine 10 operates on the second direct-drive economy line, controlling the engine 10 to operate on the corresponding direct-drive economy line according to the requirement of the engine 10, for example, controlling the engine 10 to operate on the economy line in the previous state, so that frequent switching of the operating line of the engine 10 can be avoided; if the wheel end required torque is larger than or equal to the difference between the output torque T4_ B when the engine works on the second direct-drive economy line and the fourth torque threshold value, the engine 10 is controlled to work on the third direct-drive economy line, so that the engine 10 can charge the power battery 40 with the output redundant torque through the driving motor 20, namely, in order to meet the power generation requirement, the engine 10 can work on the third direct-drive economy line in advance, and the redundant torque is used for carrying out parallel power generation through the driving generator 30 or the driving motor 20. Therefore, the condition of high torque economy switching is advanced during parallel power generation, and the working time and probability of parallel high torque are increased, so that the power retention capacity during parallel power generation is improved.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller 50 is further configured to obtain driving parameters of the hybrid vehicle when a difference between the power conservation target SOC and the SOC of the power battery is less than or equal to a third preset value, and control the engine 10, the driving motor 20 and the generator 30 according to the driving parameters, so as to operate the engine 10 in the economy zone by performing charge-discharge control on the power battery 40, and select an operation mode with the lowest equivalent fuel consumption as the current operation mode of the hybrid vehicle by comparing equivalent fuel consumption of the hybrid vehicle in a series mode, a parallel mode and an EV mode, wherein the driving parameters include at least one of a wheel end required torque, the SOC of the power battery 40 and a vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle.

The equivalent fuel consumption is the sum of the oil consumed by the engine 10 itself and the electrically equivalent oil consumed by the power battery 40, wherein the electric quantity consumed by the power battery 40 can be converted into oil according to an empirical value to obtain the electrically equivalent oil consumed by the power battery 40, the electrically equivalent oil consumed by the power battery 40 is a negative value when the power battery 40 is charged, and the electrically equivalent oil consumed by the power battery 40 is a positive value when the power battery 40 is discharged. That is to say, the controller 50 may comprehensively determine driving parameters of the hybrid vehicle, such as the wheel end required torque, the SOC of the power battery 40, the vehicle speed of the hybrid vehicle, and the equivalent fuel consumption of the hybrid vehicle in different operating modes, so that the hybrid vehicle is in the operating mode with the lowest equivalent fuel consumption under the condition of meeting the power requirement and NVH, and the hybrid vehicle has higher economy.
