In this embodiment, a start strategy is selected first, then a gear shifting type is determined according to a state of a vehicle and a target gear requirement, and an engine is controlled to start according to the gear shifting type, so that the purpose of coordinated gear shifting and engine start coordinated control is achieved, and therefore, the technical effects of improving smoothness, comfort and safety of the vehicle in the gear shifting process of the vehicle are achieved, and the technical problems of low smoothness and poor safety of vehicle driving caused by the fact that gear shifting and engine start cannot be coordinated control during gear shifting of the vehicle in the related art are solved.
The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the above-described respective implementation steps.
As an optional implementation manner of this embodiment, before the current vehicle enters the shift start mode, the method further includes: acquiring the engine start-stop condition of the current vehicle; judging whether to start the engine or not based on the engine starting and stopping conditions; judging whether the actual running gear of the transmission is consistent with the target gear or not under the condition that the engine is determined to be started under the engine starting and stopping conditions; in the case where the actual operating gear of the transmission and the target gear do not coincide, it is determined to enter a start-in-shift mode.
When a vehicle enters a gear-shifting start mode, because the engine needs to be started when the capacity of a high-voltage battery is insufficient or the torque required by a driver is increased in the running process of the vehicle, namely when a target gear selected by driving is different from an actual gear, or when the vehicle is a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle, and the capacity of the battery is insufficient, the engine can be started, the starting and stopping conditions of the engine of the current vehicle can be obtained, and when the starting and stopping conditions of the engine determine that the engine needs to be started, whether the actual running gear and the target gear of the transmission are consistent or not can be judged; in the case where the actual operating gear of the transmission and the target gear do not coincide, it is determined to enter a start-in-shift mode.
And step S101, selecting a target starting strategy under the condition that the current vehicle enters a starting mode in gear shifting.
Taking the P2 configuration hybrid vehicle (referring to a hybrid vehicle with an electric machine placed after the clutch and before the transmission) as an example, the start-up strategy may include two start modes, one with a low-pressure starter and one with a high-pressure electric machine. For starting the engine in the gear shifting process, in order to avoid worsening of the smoothness of the whole vehicle in the gear shifting process caused by the rapid change of torque and rotating speed in the engine dragging and ignition processes, the engine can be started by adopting a low-pressure starter, and because the separation clutch is in a separation state in the engine dragging and ignition processes, transient impact in the engine starting process can not be transmitted to a wheel end, so that the smoothness of the vehicle is ensured.
And S102, starting the current vehicle by adopting a target starting strategy, and acquiring the high-voltage motor state, the actual operation gear and the target gear of the current vehicle.
Optionally, the step of starting the current vehicle by using the target startup strategy includes: the low-pressure starter is adopted to drag the engine to rotate, when the rotating speed of the engine meets the oil injection ignition condition, the engine starts oil injection ignition, the rotating speed of the engine is controlled to be rushed up to the idling rotating speed, and the idling running state is kept; controlling the engine to regulate the speed to a target rotating speed, and simultaneously controlling the separation clutch to start oil filling; and after the rotating speed of the engine reaches the target rotating speed, controlling the separating clutch to start to be combined so as to synchronize the rotating speed of the engine and the rotating speed of the high-voltage motor.
In the process of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter, the control process can be divided into the following four processes:
a) the starting process of the engine comprises the following steps: the low-pressure starter drives the engine to rotate, when the rotating speed of the engine meets the oil injection ignition condition, the engine starts oil injection ignition, the rotating speed is increased to the idling rotating speed, and the idling running state is kept;
b) and (3) rotating speed synchronization process: the engine automatically adjusts the speed to the target speed set based on the high-voltage motor speed, and the separation clutch starts to charge oil to prepare for the clutch combination process in the next stage.
c) The process of separating the clutch is as follows: after the rotating speed of the engine reaches the target rotating speed, the separating clutch is combined at a certain speed, and finally the synchronization of the rotating speed of the engine and the rotating speed of the high-voltage motor is realized.
d) The power source torque switching process: a process of switching the output of power from the motor torque to the engine torque.
And step S103, determining a target gear shifting type based on the current high-voltage motor state, the actual operation gear and the target gear of the vehicle.
Optionally, the step of determining the target shift type based on the current high-voltage motor state of the vehicle, the actual operating gear and the target gear includes: determining that the target gear shifting type is a power upshift starting machine under the condition that the high-voltage motor state indicates that the torque of the high-voltage motor is greater than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is greater than an actual operating gear; determining the target gear shifting type as a power downshift starting machine under the condition that the high-voltage motor state indicates that the torque of the high-voltage motor is larger than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is smaller than an actual operating gear; determining that the target gear shifting type is a sliding upshift starting machine under the condition that the high-voltage motor state indicates that the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is larger than an actual running gear; and under the condition that the high-voltage motor state indicates that the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is smaller than the actual running gear, determining that the target gear shifting type is the coasting downshift starting machine.
The starting control in which type of gear shifting is performed can be judged according to the state, the actual gear and the target gear of the high-voltage motor, and specifically, when the torque of the high-voltage motor is greater than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is greater than the actual gear, power is selected to be used for starting control in an up-shifting mode; when the torque of the high-voltage motor is larger than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is smaller than an actual gear, selecting power downshift starting control; when the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is larger than an actual gear, selecting sliding gear-up starting control; and selecting the sliding downshift starting control when the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than the first torque threshold and the target gear is smaller than the actual gear.
Optionally, in a case where the target shift type is a power upshift start or a coast downshift start, the step of controlling the current vehicle to start the engine during the shift using the target shift type includes: controlling oil filling of the shifting clutch under the target gear; a shift clutch that controls torque transmission of the transmission to be switched from the shift clutch of the actual operating gear to the target gear; controlling the rotating speed of the motor, or controlling the rotating speed of a motor and engine combination, and changing from the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual operating gear to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear; determining that the current vehicle completes power upshift gear shifting operation or coasting downshift gear shifting operation under the condition that the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear is reached; and controlling the engine to smoothly start in the process of finishing the power upshift gear shifting operation or the sliding downshift gear shifting operation of the current vehicle.
In the process of power gear-up and gear-shifting, the process can be divided into three steps, a), the gear-shifting clutch is filled with oil: filling oil to the gear shifting clutch of the target gear to prepare for clutch torque switching of the next stage; b) shifting clutch torque switching: the torque transmission of the transmission is switched from the gear shifting clutch of the actual gear to the target gear clutch, so that the speed ratio is switched; c) and (3) power source rotating speed regulation: the rotation speed of the motor (the separation clutch is in a separation state) or the rotation speed of the motor and engine combination (the separation clutch is in a combination state) is changed from the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear to the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear. When the rotating speed of the input shaft of the transmission corresponding to the target gear is reached, the fact that the current vehicle completes power upshift gear shifting operation is determined, and the engine can be controlled to smoothly start in the process that the current vehicle completes the power upshift gear shifting operation, namely the engine start control process in the process of power upshift gear shifting is carried out.
In the process of sliding, downshifting and shifting, the process of sliding, downshifting and shifting is also divided into three steps, a) the shifting clutch is filled with oil: filling oil to the gear shifting clutch of the target gear to prepare for clutch torque switching of the next stage; b) shifting clutch torque switching: the torque transmission of the transmission is switched from the gear shifting clutch of the actual gear to the target gear clutch, so that the speed ratio is switched; c) and (3) power source rotating speed regulation: the rotation speed of the motor (the separation clutch is in a separation state) or the rotation speed of the motor and engine combination (the separation clutch is in a combination state) is changed from the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear to the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear. When the speed of the input shaft of the transmission corresponding to the target gear is reached, the fact that the current vehicle completes the sliding downshift operation is determined, and the engine can be controlled to smoothly start in the process that the current vehicle completes the sliding downshift gear shifting operation, namely the engine start control process in the process of performing the sliding downshift gear shifting operation.
The recovery process functions as follows: and after the starting process is finished, the sliding friction rotating speed of the shifting clutch is recovered to the first rotating speed deviation from the second rotating speed deviation, and normal driving and shifting control are carried out.
The engine starting control process in the sliding downshift gear shifting process is the same as that in the sliding upshift gear shifting process, and the control content of each process is also the same.
The following describes in detail the steps of controlling the engine to start smoothly during the power upshift operation of the vehicle.
An alternative step of controlling a smooth engine start during a current vehicle power upshift operation, comprising: under the condition of receiving an engine starting request, starting to control a low-pressure starter to start an engine to finish the first-stage engine starting, wherein in the process of controlling the low-pressure starter to start the engine, the rotating speed of the motor is controlled to reach the target rotating speed by the closed-loop feedback torque of the motor; controlling the low-pressure starter, and completing the combination of the separating clutch from the engine starting of the first stage to the third stage; controlling a low-pressure starter, and completing power source torque switching from a third-stage separation clutch combination to a fourth stage, wherein after the third-stage separation clutch combination is completed, acquiring the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual operation gear plus a second rotation speed deviation, acquiring the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear plus the second rotation speed deviation, and acquiring the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual operation gear and the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear according to a preset transition curve plus the second rotation speed deviation; and controlling the current vehicle to be completed by switching the torque of the power source in the fourth stage until the target rotating speed of the motor is recovered to a normal state so as to smoothly start the engine, wherein the rotating speed of the input shaft of the transmission corresponding to the target gear is controlled to be added with the first rotating speed deviation in the process of recovering to the normal state.
The engine smoothly starts in the power upshift and gear shift process: the method can be used for starting four stages of a starting process of a low-pressure starter, namely a first-stage engine starting process, a second-stage rotating speed synchronization process, a third-stage separating clutch combination process and a fourth-stage power source torque switching process.
Specifically, the four control processes of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter selected according to the starting mode can be realized by specifically controlling the shift clutch, the rotating speed of the high-voltage motor and the rotating speed of the engine, fig. 6 is a flow chart of an optional control process of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter according to the embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 6, the control process of power upshift and shift starting can be specifically divided into four control stages, and the four control stages can be a pre-control process, a motor rotating speed control process, a rotating speed control process of the shift clutch and a recovery process. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the rotational speed and torque changes during an alternative power upshift startup control process according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the steps of controlling smooth engine startup during a current vehicle power upshift shift operation are described with reference to the rotational speed and torque changes during the power upshift startup control process of FIG. 7 for the four control phases of FIG. 6 and the four phases of the startup process of the low-pressure starter:
a) the pre-control process comprises the following steps: the engine starting is completed from the first stage of receiving the engine starting request to the starting of the engine by the low-pressure starter, and the actions of each part are as follows: an engine: the low-pressure starter drags the engine to rotate, when the rotating speed of the engine meets the oil injection ignition condition, the engine starts oil injection ignition, and after the rotating speed is up-rushed to the idling rotating speed, the idling running state is kept; a motor: outputting torque according to the driving request torque; a shifting clutch: the motor torque is used as a feedforward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value between the motor rotating speed and the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process, and the rotating speed of the motor is controlled to reach the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process, wherein the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process can specifically refer to the rotating speed of an input shaft of a transmission corresponding to an actual gear plus a first rotating speed deviation. The pre-control process has the following functions: the engine is started by the low-pressure starter, and because the separation clutch is in a separation state, the influence factors of the starting process of the engine cannot be transmitted to the 9-wheel end, so that the shifting clutch also keeps the control of the original shifting process.
b) The process of controlling the rotating speed of the motor: from the first stage of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter to the third stage of combining the separating clutch, the actions of each part are as follows: an engine: the engine carries out autonomous speed regulation control to enable the rotating speed of the engine to reach the target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor; a motor: controlling the motor rotating speed to reach the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process by taking the driving request torque as a feedforward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value between the motor rotating speed and the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process; a shifting clutch: open loop control is input as clutch engagement torque based on the driving request torque.
c) The process of controlling the rotating speed of the gear shifting clutch is as follows: from the completion of the combination of the separating clutch at the third stage of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter to the completion of the torque switching of the power source at the fourth stage, the actions of all the components are as follows: an engine: the engine torque increases to the driving request torque at the maximum rate achievable; a motor: the motor torque is equal to the driving request torque minus the engine torque; a shifting clutch: the motor speed is controlled to reach the motor target speed in the speed control process of the gear shifting clutch by taking the driving request torque as a feed-forward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value of the motor speed and the motor target speed in the speed control process of the gear shifting clutch.
d) And (3) recovery process: and recovering the target rotating speed of the motor to a normal state from the completion of the torque switching of the fourth section of the power source to the completion of the target rotating speed of the motor, wherein the target rotating speed of the motor in the recovery process is the sum of the rotating speed of the input shaft of the target transmission and the first rotating speed deviation in the speed regulation stage corresponding to the target gear.
The recovery process functions as follows: and after the starting process is finished, the sliding friction rotating speed of the shifting clutch is recovered to the first rotating speed deviation from the second rotating speed deviation, and normal driving and shifting control are carried out.
Optionally, the step of controlling the low-pressure starter to complete the engagement of the disconnect clutch from the first stage of engine cranking to the third stage comprises: after the low-pressure starter is controlled to finish the starting of the engine in the first stage, the low-pressure starter is controlled to start the engine to enter the engine synchronization stage in the second stage, and the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the sum of the rotating speed of the motor and the preset rotating speed deviation; and controlling the target rotating speed of the engine to reach the target rotating speed of the motor in the rotating speed control process when the low-pressure starter starts the engine and enters a separating clutch combination stage of a third stage, and connecting the engine serving as a power input source to a power transmission system.
The target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor specifically refers to the rotating speed synchronization stage of the engine in the second stage of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter, and the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the rotating speed of the motor plus a third rotating speed deviation in the rotating speed control process of the motor; in the clutch separating and combining stage of the third stage of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter, the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the target rotating speed of the motor in the rotating speed controlling process of the motor.
Optionally, the step of controlling the low-pressure starter to complete the power source torque shift from the third stage of the disconnect clutch to the fourth stage includes: controlling the engine torque to increase to the driving request torque at a maximum rate after the off-clutch engagement of the third stage completes the off-clutch engagement of the third stage; determining a closed-loop feedback torque based on the driving request torque and the motor target rotating speed in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch, and controlling the rotating speed of the motor to reach the motor target rotating speed in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch by combining the closed-loop feedback torque, wherein the calculating step of the motor target rotating speed in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch comprises the following steps of: acquiring the rotation speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual operation gear plus a second rotation speed deviation; acquiring the rotation speed of the input shaft of the transmission corresponding to the target gear plus a second rotation speed deviation; and acquiring the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual operating gear and the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear, and adding a second rotating speed deviation according to a preset transition curve.
The above process is explained with reference to the components of the driving vehicle, from the completion of the clutch disengagement at the third stage of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter to the completion of the torque switching of the power source at the fourth stage, the actions of the components are as follows: an engine: the engine torque increases to the driving request torque at the maximum rate achievable; a motor: the motor torque is equal to the driving request torque minus the engine torque; a shifting clutch: the motor rotating speed is controlled to reach the motor target rotating speed in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch by taking the driving request torque as the feedforward torque and the closed loop feedback torque of the difference value of the motor rotating speed and the motor target rotating speed in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch, namely the motor rotating speed is controlled to reach the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process by taking the driving request torque as the feedforward torque and the closed loop feedback torque of the difference value of the motor rotating speed and the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process.
The target rotating speed of the motor in the rotating speed control process of the gear shifting clutch can be specifically defined as that before the rotating speed regulating process of the power source in the third stage of power upshift is started, the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear is added with a second rotating speed deviation; after the power source rotating speed regulating process in the third power gear-up stage is finished, the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear is added with a second rotating speed deviation; in the process of regulating the rotating speed of the power source in the third stage of power upshift; and adding a second rotating speed deviation to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear and the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear according to a preset transition curve.
The function of the gear shifting clutch in the process of controlling the rotating speed is as follows: after the clutch is engaged, the torque of the power source is switched. Because the torque response characteristics of the engine and the motor are different, the condition of unsmooth output torque may exist in the power source torque switching process, and the smoothness of the vehicle can be ensured by still keeping the large speed difference of the input shafts of the power source and the transmission rotating speed and the mode that the torque of the gear shifting clutch adopts the driving required torque as the feedforward torque. And the rotational inertia of the power source is determined again because the separating clutch is combined, and the rotating speed of the motor can be controlled to reach the target rotating speed through the shifting clutch so as to prepare for the shifting process to be recovered to the normal state.
Optionally, in the case that the target shift type is a power downshift start or a coast upshift start, the step of controlling the current vehicle to start the engine during the shift process by using the target shift type includes: controlling the rotating speed of a motor or the rotating speed of a combination of the motor and an engine, changing the rotating speed of an input shaft of a transmission corresponding to an actual operating gear to the rotating speed of the input shaft of the transmission corresponding to a target gear, and controlling the oil charge of a shifting clutch of the target gear; and controlling the torque transmission of the transmission to be switched from the gear shifting clutch of the actual running gear to the target gear clutch, so that the current vehicle finishes the power downshift gear shifting operation or the sliding upshift gear shifting operation, and further controlling the engine to smoothly start.
In the power downshift gear shifting process, the method is divided into two steps: a) and (3) power source rotating speed regulation: the rotating speed of the motor (the separation clutch is in a separation state) or the rotating speed of the motor and engine assembly (the separation clutch is in a combination state) is changed from the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear; meanwhile, the gear shifting clutch of the target gear is filled with oil to prepare for the torque switching of the clutch at the next stage; b) shifting clutch torque switching: the torque transmission of the transmission is switched from the gear shifting clutch of the actual gear to the target gear clutch, so that the speed ratio is switched. The engine starting control process in the power downshift gear shifting process is the same as the engine starting process in the power upshift gear shifting process, and the control content of each process is also the same.
In the process of sliding gear-up and gear-shifting, the process of sliding gear-up and gear-shifting is divided into two steps, a) power source rotating speed regulation: the rotating speed of the motor (the separation clutch is in a separation state) or the rotating speed of the motor and engine assembly (the separation clutch is in a combination state) is changed from the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear; meanwhile, the gear shifting clutch of the target gear is filled with oil to prepare for the torque switching of the clutch at the next stage; b)
shifting clutch torque switching: the torque transmission of the transmission is switched from the gear shifting clutch of the actual gear to the target gear clutch, so that the speed ratio is switched.
And starting the engine in the process of sliding up-shifting and shifting gears. The engine starting control process in the coasting upshift and gear shifting process is the same as that in the power upshift and gear shifting process, but the calculation of the target rotating speed in the control content is different, and the difference details are as follows: a) the difference of the pre-control process is as follows: in the engine starting control process in the sliding gear-up and gear-shifting process, the target rotating speed of a motor in the process is pre-controlled, specifically, the target rotating speed is obtained by subtracting a first rotating speed deviation from the rotating speed of an input shaft of a transmission corresponding to an actual gear. b) The difference of the motor speed control process is as follows: in the engine starting control process in the sliding gear-up and gear-shifting process, the target rotating speed of the motor is controlled by the motor in the rotating speed control process, specifically, the target rotating speed is obtained by subtracting a second rotating speed deviation from the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear.
The target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor specifically refers to the engine synchronization stage of the second stage when the low-voltage starter starts the engine, and the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the rotating speed of the motor minus the third rotating speed deviation in the rotating speed control process of the motor. In the clutch separating and combining stage of the third stage of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter, the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the target rotating speed of the motor in the motor pre-control process in the rotating speed control process of the motor;
the motor control rotating speed process has the following functions: the engine speed synchronization and clutch combination process is to connect the engine as the power input source into the power transmission system, in order to avoid the influence on the wheel end of the vehicle, the torque transmission direction is ensured by the target speed control mode that the engine speed < the motor speed < the transmission input shaft speed, and the torque of the gear shifting clutch is ensured to be stable only by the open loop control mode that the driving request torque is used as the input, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the vehicle.
And step S104, controlling the current vehicle to realize the engine starting in the gear shifting process by adopting the target gear shifting type.
According to the control method for starting the engine in the vehicle gear shifting process, the engine starting request occurs in the gear shifting process, firstly, a proper starting mode is selected, secondly, the engine rotating speed, the motor rotating speed and the transmission input shaft rotating speed are taken as control targets, different control strategies are formulated according to different gear shifting types, and coordinated control of engine starting in the gear shifting process is achieved. The smoothness of the whole vehicle when the engine is started in the gear shifting process is improved, and the dynamic comfort of the whole vehicle is further improved.
The invention is described below in connection with an alternative embodiment.
Example two
In the embodiment of the present invention, an alternative vehicle gear shifting method is described with reference to a schematic hybrid vehicle architecture, which can perform start control during gear shifting, that is, start control of an engine during gear shifting, fig. 2 is a flowchart of an alternative gear shifting start control method according to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the gear shifting start control process is as follows:
(1) and (3) judging the starting working condition in gear shifting: whether a start control mode in gear shifting is started can be judged according to the actual gear, the target gear and the start request;
(2) selecting a starting mode: selecting a specific starting mode after entering a starting control mode in gear shifting;
(3) after the start-up mode is determined, determining a gear shifting type: and judging which type of gear shifting is to be performed in a starting control process according to the state, the actual gear and the target gear of the high-voltage motor, wherein the gear shifting type can be power upshifting gear shifting, power downshifting gear shifting, sliding upshifting gear shifting and sliding downshifting gear shifting.
(4) According to the gear shifting type, entering a start control process corresponding to the gear shifting type: the starting control mode can be power upshift starting control, power downshift starting control, sliding upshift starting control and sliding downshift starting control, wherein,
controlling power gear-up starting: the engine starting control process can be the engine starting control process in the power upshift and gear shifting process;
controlling power gear reduction and starting: the engine starting control process can be used in the power downshift gear shifting process;
and (3) sliding gear-up starting control: the engine starting control process can be the engine starting control process in the sliding gear-up and gear-shifting process;
controlling sliding, gear-down and starting: the engine starting control process in the coasting downshift gear shifting process can be adopted.
The embodiment provides an engine starting control method in a vehicle shifting process, which can be used for a hybrid vehicle in a P2 configuration, and can also be used for other types of hybrid vehicles or electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles in other configurations, and fig. 3 is a structural diagram of an alternative hybrid vehicle shifting system in a P2 configuration according to an embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3:
first, the numerals in the drawings and structural meanings corresponding to the numerals will be explained:
in the figure: 1-a low-voltage starter; 2-an engine; 3-disengaging the clutch; 4-a high voltage motor; 5-a shifting clutch; 6-transmission input shaft; 7-a transmission; 8-a transmission output shaft; 9-vehicle wheels.
The shifting clutch is a clutch mechanism between the transmission and the power input source, and does not mean a specific clutch. For example: for a DCT Transmission (Dual-clutch Transmission), the shifting clutches represent both odd-and even-numbered clutches; for an AT Transmission (Automatic Transmission), a shifting clutch represents a combination of a clutch and a brake of a planetary gear mechanism for realizing different speed ratios, a torque converter and a lockup clutch thereof; for an AMT (Automated Manual Transmission), the shifting clutch represents a single clutch in the Transmission; in a CVT Transmission (Continuously Variable Transmission), a shift clutch represents a hydraulic torque converter and a lockup clutch thereof.
The transmission input shaft is a transmission input shaft calculated by the transmission according to the rotating speed of an output shaft and a gear speed ratio, and does not represent a specific real shaft. For example: the rotating speed of the target gear input shaft of the transmission is equal to the rotating speed of the output shaft of the transmission multiplied by the speed ratio of the target gear; the actual transmission gear input shaft speed is equal to the transmission output shaft speed multiplied by the actual gear ratio.
The P2 configuration hybrid power has two main starting modes: one is started by a low-voltage starter, and the other is started by a high-voltage motor. For starting the engine in the gear shifting process, in order to avoid worsening of the smoothness of the whole vehicle in the gear shifting process caused by the rapid change of torque and rotating speed in the dragging and igniting processes of the engine, the engine is started by adopting a low-pressure starter, and because a separation clutch is in a separation state in the dragging and igniting processes of the engine, transient impact in the starting process of the engine cannot be transmitted to a wheel end, so that the smoothness of the vehicle is ensured.
The following is a detailed description of each step of the start-up control process in shifting.
1. And judging the starting working condition in gear shifting.
And in the process of starting the engine in the gear shifting, judging whether to enter a starting control mode in the gear shifting according to the actual gear, the target gear and the starting request, specifically, judging whether the actual gear and the target gear of the transmission are consistent when the whole vehicle control unit judges and determines to start the engine according to the starting and stopping conditions of the engine, and if not, entering the starting control mode in the gear shifting.
2. And selecting a starting mode.
In the starting mode selection, a specific starting mode is selected, and specifically, the starting mode can be a starting mode in which a low-pressure starter is selected to start the engine. Fig. 4 is a flowchart of an alternative starting procedure of a low-pressure starter starting mode according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the control procedure of the starting procedure of the low-pressure starter starting engine is divided into the following four procedures, as shown in fig. 4:
1) the starting process of the engine comprises the following steps: the low-pressure starter drives the engine to rotate, when the rotating speed of the engine meets the oil injection ignition condition, the engine starts oil injection ignition, the rotating speed is increased to the idling rotating speed, and the idling running state is kept;
2) and (3) rotating speed synchronization process: the engine automatically adjusts the speed to the target speed set based on the high-voltage motor speed, and the separation clutch starts to charge oil to prepare for the clutch combination process in the next stage.
3) The process of separating the clutch is as follows: after the rotating speed of the engine reaches the target rotating speed, the separating clutch is combined at a certain speed, and finally the synchronization of the rotating speed of the engine and the rotating speed of the high-voltage motor is realized.
4) The power source torque switching process: a process of switching the output of power from the motor torque to the engine torque.
3. And determining the type of gear shifting.
In the gear shifting type determination, judging which type of gear shifting is to be started for controlling according to the state of the high-voltage motor, the actual gear and the target gear, specifically, selecting power to upshift and start when the torque of the high-voltage motor is greater than a first torque threshold and the target gear is greater than the actual gear; when the torque of the high-voltage motor is larger than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is smaller than an actual gear, selecting power downshift starting control; when the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than a first torque threshold value and the target gear is larger than an actual gear, selecting sliding gear-up starting control; and selecting the sliding downshift starting control when the torque of the high-voltage motor is smaller than the first torque threshold and the target gear is smaller than the actual gear.
4. And starting the control process of the entered gear shifting type according to the determined gear shifting type in the gear shifting type determination.
The shift-in-shift start control for each shift type is described in detail below.
4.1 power gear-up starting control.
1) And (5) a power upshift gear shifting process. Fig. 5 is a flow chart of an alternative power upshift process according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, the power upshift process, divided into three steps,

The four control phases in fig. 6 are described below in connection with the speed and torque changes during the power upshift startup control of fig. 7:
a) the pre-control process comprises the following steps:
the engine starting is completed from the first stage of receiving the engine starting request to the starting of the engine by the low-pressure starter, and the actions of each part are as follows:
an engine: the low-pressure starter drags the engine to rotate, when the rotating speed of the engine meets the oil injection ignition condition, the engine starts oil injection ignition, and after the rotating speed is increased to be higher than the idling rotating speed, the idling running state is kept;
a motor: outputting torque according to the driving request torque;
a shifting clutch: the motor torque is used as a feedforward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value between the motor rotating speed and the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process, and the rotating speed of the motor is controlled to reach the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process, wherein the target rotating speed of the motor in the pre-control process can specifically refer to the rotating speed of an input shaft of a transmission corresponding to an actual gear plus a first rotating speed deviation.
The pre-control process has the following functions: the engine is started through the low-pressure starter, and because the separation clutch is in a separation state, influence factors of the starting process of the engine cannot be transmitted to the wheel end, and therefore the shifting clutch still keeps control of the original shifting process.
b) And controlling the rotating speed of the motor.
From the first stage of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter to the third stage of combining the separating clutch, the actions of each part are as follows:
an engine: the engine carries out autonomous speed regulation control to enable the rotating speed of the engine to reach the target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor;
a motor: controlling the motor rotating speed to reach the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process by taking the driving request torque as a feedforward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value between the motor rotating speed and the motor target rotating speed in the motor control rotating speed process;
a shifting clutch: inputting open-loop control as clutch combination torque according to the driving request torque;
and in the process of controlling the rotating speed of the motor, the target rotating speed of the motor specifically refers to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear plus a second rotating speed deviation, and the numerical value of the second rotating speed deviation is greater than the first rotating speed deviation.
The target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor is specifically in the second stage of engine synchronization stage (corresponding to rotating speed synchronization in fig. 7) when the low-voltage starter starts the engine, and the target rotating speed of the engine in the rotating speed control process of the motor is equal to the rotating speed of the motor plus a third rotating speed deviation; in the clutch separating and combining stage of the third stage of starting the engine by the low-voltage starter, the target rotating speed of the engine is equal to the target rotating speed of the motor in the rotating speed controlling process of the motor.
The motor control rotating speed process has the following functions: the engine speed synchronization and clutch combination process is to connect the engine as the power input source into the power transmission system, in order to avoid the influence on the wheel end of the vehicle, the torque transmission direction is ensured by the target speed control mode of the engine speed, the motor speed and the transmission input shaft speed, and the torque of the gear shifting clutch is ensured to be stable only by the open loop control mode of taking the driving request torque as the input, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the vehicle.
c) The process of controlling the rotating speed of the gear shifting clutch is as follows:
from the completion of the combination of the separating clutch at the third stage of starting the engine by the low-pressure starter to the completion of the torque switching of the power source at the fourth stage, the actions of all the components are as follows:
an engine: the engine torque increases to the driving request torque at the maximum rate achievable;
a motor: the motor torque is equal to the driving request torque minus the engine torque;
a shifting clutch: the motor speed is controlled to reach the motor target speed in the speed control process of the gear shifting clutch by taking the driving request torque as a feed-forward torque and a closed loop feedback torque of a difference value of the motor speed and the motor target speed in the speed control process of the gear shifting clutch. The method comprises the following steps that a gear shifting clutch controls the target rotating speed of a motor in the rotating speed process, and specifically, before the rotating speed regulating process of a power source in the third stage of power upshift begins, the rotating speed of an input shaft of a transmission corresponding to an actual gear is added with a second rotating speed deviation; after the power source rotating speed regulating process is finished in the third stage of power upshift, the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear is added with a second rotating speed deviation; in the process of regulating the rotating speed of the power source in the third stage of power upshift; and adding a second rotating speed deviation to the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the actual gear and the rotating speed of the transmission input shaft corresponding to the target gear according to a preset transition curve.
The function of the gear shifting clutch in the process of controlling the rotating speed is as follows: after the clutch is engaged, the torque of the power source is switched. Because the torque response characteristics of the engine and the motor are different, the condition of unsmooth output torque may exist in the power source torque switching process, and the smoothness of the vehicle can be ensured by still keeping the large speed difference of the input shafts of the power source and the transmission rotating speed and the mode that the torque of the gear shifting clutch adopts the driving required torque as the feedforward torque. And the rotational inertia of the power source is determined again because the separating clutch is combined, and the rotating speed of the motor can be controlled to reach the target rotating speed through the shifting clutch so as to prepare for the shifting process to be recovered to the normal state.
d) And (3) recovery process: and (3) from the completion of the torque switching of the fourth section of power source to the restoration of the target rotating speed of the motor to the normal state, the actions of all the parts are as follows:
an engine: the engine torque requests output torque according to a hybrid strategy;
a motor: the motor torque requests to output torque according to a hybrid strategy;
a shifting clutch: the method comprises the steps of controlling the rotating speed of a motor to reach a target rotating speed of the motor in a recovery process by using a driving request torque as a feedforward torque and a closed-loop feedback torque of a difference value of the target rotating speed of the motor in the recovery process, wherein the target rotating speed of the motor in the recovery process is specifically the rotating speed of an input shaft of a target transmission plus a first rotating speed deviation in a speed regulation stage corresponding to a target gear.
The recovery process functions as follows: and after the starting process is finished, the sliding friction rotating speed of the shifting clutch is recovered to the first rotating speed deviation from the second rotating speed deviation, and normal driving and shifting control are carried out.
