The Hydraulic Pump 7, high pressure accumulator 9, three-position three-way valve and the corresponding brake wheel cylinder that connect successively is included in high-pressure brake loop 21.Arrange pressure sensor 28 at the Near Pipelines of the output rear end of high pressure accumulator 9, the pipeline of three-position three-way valve input front end connects petrol storage tank 3 by by pass valve 36.
Three-position three-way valve 14,16,18,20 is wherein a kind of electromagnetism liquid feed valves, for controlling the selection of brake circuit, such as, when requiring conducting low pressure brake circuit 5, three-position three-way valve 14,16,18,20 is in left position, and during relative requirement conducting high-pressure brake loop 21, three-position three-way valve 14,16,18,20 is just in right position.
At four wheel wheel cylinder places, pressure sensor 30,31,32,33 is set respectively.Be provided with reducing valve 13,15,17,19 between each wheel wheel cylinder and petrol storage tank 3, between left and right wheel wheel cylinder, be provided with balance cock 22,23.
The Hydraulic Pump 8, low pressure accumulator 10, three-position three-way valve and the corresponding brake wheel cylinder that connect successively is included in low pressure brake circuit 5.Arrange pressure sensor 29 at the Near Pipelines of the output rear end of low pressure accumulator 10, the pipeline of three-position three-way valve input front end connects petrol storage tank 3 by by pass valve 11.
Alternate brake loop 12 includes the master brake cylinder 2, disconnecting valve, piston and the corresponding brake wheel cylinder that connect successively, master brake cylinder 2, disconnecting valve 26, piston 24 and corresponding brake wheel cylinder connect successively, and master brake cylinder 2, disconnecting valve 27, piston 25 and corresponding brake wheel cylinder connect successively.Pressure sensor 34 is set between master brake cylinder 2 and disconnecting valve.Disconnecting valve 26,27 is used for blocking when chaufeur steps on brake pedal 1, and the hydraulic pressure that the brake fluid pressure of master brake cylinder 2 and EHB system produce influences each other.
High pressure accumulator 9 energy reserve in high-pressure brake loop 21 of the present invention is comparatively large, and high pressure accumulator 9 can ensure under Hydraulic Pump 7 no longer supplies oil condition, can carry out repeatedly the braking of large intensity; Then need electrical motor 6 to drive Hydraulic Pump 8 to continue to provide braking liquid when being braked by low pressure brake circuit 5 in parallel, this just needs storage battery constantly to power to electrical motor 8, consumes the energy of storage battery.When storage battery SOC reaches near higher limit, common brake system can not restart brake energy recovering system.Electric control hydraulic braking system of the present invention is provided by low pressure brake system due to the energy of friction braking, can the energy of continuous battery consumption, now can start regenerating braking energy regenerative apparatus and carry out regenerative brake to battery charge; Namely, when the braking energy reclaimed when regeneration brake system is equal to or less than the energy of driving motor 6 battery consumption, the SOC value of storage battery maintains suitable value.Because the braking energy source of friction braking is from storage battery, belong to the consumption of energy, and regenerating braking energy is filled with in storage battery the recovery belonging to energy, shifting, so electric control hydraulic braking system of the present invention contributes to saving energy, increase electronlmobil continual mileage.The concrete control method of electric control hydraulic braking system of the present invention is as follows:
As shown in Figure 1, when automobile needs to slow down, chaufeur steps on brake pedal 1, and the generation brake-pressure of master brake cylinder 2 is gathered by brake-pressure sensor, and brake-pedal-travel sensor 4 gathers the stroke of brake pedal 1 and the acceleration/accel of brake pedal 1.The information collected is imported in electronic control unit by each sensor, brake pedal simulator is by chaufeur braking force size, the stroke of acceleration/accel and brake pedal 1 also inputs in electronic control unit, and electronic control unit judges whether to enter emergency brake modes according to the brake pedal acceleration/accel of input and the size information of braking force; Simultaneously according to brake-pedal travel---the brake-pressure curve being built in electronic control unit, calculate the rate of braking that chaufeur needs.
Judge to open which brake circuit according to the rate of braking that electronic control unit calculates.When the rate of braking that rate of braking can provide higher than low pressure brake circuit 5, open high-pressure brake loop 21, enter normal brake mode.When the rate of braking that low pressure brake circuit 5 can provide meets the rate of braking required for chaufeur, enable low pressure braking mode.
High tension loop braking mode: high pressure accumulator 9 top pressure in high-pressure brake loop 21 should be set to very large, can ensure under Hydraulic Pump 7 no longer supplies oil condition, carries out repeatedly the braking of large intensity continuously.In high-pressure brake loop 21, when pressure sensor 28 pressure is lower than predetermined value, control electrical motor 6 by electronic controller and drive Hydraulic Pump 7, pump into high-pressure brake loop 21 from petrol storage tank 3 inhalant liquid force feed, now, four three-position three-way valves 14,16,18,20 corresponding with four wheel wheel cylinders are all in high voltage conduction position, and the highly pressurised liquid of high pressure accumulator 9 just enters in each wheel wheel cylinder respectively and makes automobile brake after four three-position three-way valves.
For high-pressure brake loop 21, its main task ensures braking safety, can provide and repeatedly brake when requiring that it once pressurizes.For plug-in hybrid-power automobile or pure electric automobile, when being parked in garage at night, when utilizing national grid to battery charge, Hydraulic Pump 7 should from trend high-pressure brake loop 21 pump oil, now control electrical motor 6 to open and drive that Hydraulic Pump 7 is disposable is filled it up with by high pressure accumulator 9 energy in high tension loop 21, make high pressure accumulator 9 reach maximum energy accumulating state, the advantage that can make full use of national grid cost of electricity-generating low too increases continual mileage.The by pass valve 36 be connected with petrol storage tank 3 can prevent the oil pressure in high-pressure brake loop 21 from exceeding setting value.
In the process of running car, only power to electrical motor 6 lower than just needing Vehicular accumulator cell during setting value at the pressure of high pressure accumulator 9, electrical motor 6 drives Hydraulic Pump 7 to pressurize to high pressure accumulator 9.
Low tension loop braking mode: in low pressure brake circuit 5, hydraulic pressure major part relies on Hydraulic Pump 8 to provide, ensures that situation about losing efficacy in high-pressure brake loop 21 still can provide certain rate of braking.The top pressure of the low pressure accumulator 10 on low pressure brake circuit 5 is lower, enables this low pressure brake circuit 5 brake when three-position three-way valve 14,16,18,20 is in left low pressure conducting position, position.During braking, control electrical motor 6 by electronic controller and drive Hydraulic Pump 8 to pump into low pressure accumulator 10 from petrol storage tank 3 inhalant liquid force feed, just enter in each wheel wheel cylinder after four three-position three-way valves 14,16,18,20 respectively and make automobile brake.The Hydraulic Pump 8 driven by electrical motor 6 needs continuously to low pressure brake circuit 5 fuel feeding, so just the energy of continuous battery consumption, and the existing energy of storage battery is set to
, enable brake energy recovering system to reclaim braking energy simultaneously
, when
time just can realize storage battery discharge and recharge balance, the situation particularly when the SOC value of storage battery is near higher limit.
The lock torque that on low pressure brake circuit 5, the top pressure of low pressure accumulator 10 provides is not more than the difference of electrical motor 6 torque rating torque corresponding to maximum speed.And the parameter of Hydraulic Pump 8 is selected with this, require that the lock torque that the hydraulic oil pressure provided is converted to also is no more than this scope.
On low pressure brake circuit 5, the top pressure of low pressure accumulator 10 is selected less, needs Hydraulic Pump 8 frequently to pressurize when braking, and Hydraulic Pump 8 drives by electrical motor 6.The object done like this is when storage battery SOC reaches near higher limit, can remain in chargeable scope by the energy of continuous battery consumption by the SOC value of storage battery, and this just provides condition for opening regenerative brake.When the Hydraulic Pump energy (direct motor drive) that electric control hydraulic braking (i.e. friction braking) consumes is more than or equal to regenerating braking energy, the SOC value of storage battery maintains in chargeable interval all the time, Here it is near storage battery SOC higher limit, opens the method for Brake energy recovery.Because drive hydraulic pressure pump motor by storage battery supply energy, fewer hydraulic braking is utilized also just to mean the consumption of saving storage battery energy, as long as brake energy recovering system is in mode of operation and just can reclaims braking energy from braking procedure simultaneously.
Back-up circuit braking mode: when EHB system jam adopts alternate brake loop 12, the hydraulic pressure of master brake cylinder 2 can be made to enter in wheel wheel cylinder and brake.Alternate brake loop 12 is also manual braking loop, and good reliability, also can provide certain brake efficiency.Therefore this Braking system safety performance is high.
Maximize control policy according to Brake energy recovery, in braking procedure, brake energy recovering system should be a direct-open, so in invariable power section along with the lock torque that the reduction electrical generator of rotor speed provides is constantly change.By the accurate control to low pressure brake circuit 5, the lock torque sum that low pressure brake circuit 5 and brake energy recovering system can be made to provide is stabilized in a definite value.Because low tension loop brake-pressure is lower, accurate control can be met, not need performance-oriented high-speed electromagnetic valve.
In the process of moving, electronic control unit collects the various information of vehicle condition by CAN, comprises automobile momentary velocity
, ground attaching coefficient
, the SOC state of storage battery, rotor rotating speed

for vehicle wheel roll radius.
Be the characteristic feature of motor of electric motor car as shown in Figure 2, during chaufeur braking, motor speed is
, now adopt regenerative brake, the regenerative braking moment that brake energy recovering system can provide is
.
When brake energy recovering system works, reduce at the rotating speed of invariable power section generator amature, and the lock torque that motor exports constantly increases, automobile does not change in order to the lock torque keeping constant deceleration/decel and just must control motor, and the generated output that electrical generator produces when lock torque is by controlling to diminish diminishes too.The lock torque that low pressure brake circuit 5 in the present invention provides brake fluid pressure to make automobile total maintains steady state value.
When
time, the moment that regenerative brake provides is greater than the lock torque of chaufeur needs, and axle drive shaft adopts the drg of regenerative brake and driven shaft not perform braking.At this moment the moment in order to make regenerative brake provide equals the total braking force square that chaufeur needs, and just must be reduced the regenerative braking moment that electrical generator provides by the mode reducing rotor field intensity.
When

when being less than threshold values, the lock torque namely required for chaufeur is greater than regenerative brake can be provided lock torque and be less than the threshold values entering emergency brake modes, and wherein threshold values equals rate of braking
time lock torque required for automobile emergency brake (wherein
value determine according to the supply capability of Hydraulic Pump 8).By the mode of piecewise fitting, the lock torque that the low pressure brake circuit 5 in the present invention is provided and regenerative braking moment
sum is stabilized in certain value.As shown in Fig. 2, by regenerative braking moment
transformation period is divided into limited section, and time length is
