Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to managing power distribution between a traction motor and an engine in a hybrid vehicle.
- Hybrid electric vehicles include both engines and traction motors. In response to a driver power request, a controller allocates a portion of the driver power request to the engine and a portion of the driver power request to the traction motor.

- Referring to
FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) 10 is illustrated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.FIG. 1 illustrates representative relationships among the components. Physical placement and orientation of the components within the vehicle may vary. The HEV 10 includes apowertrain 12. Thepowertrain 12 includes anengine 14 that drives atransmission 16, which may be referred to as a modular hybrid transmission (MHT). As will be described in further detail below,transmission 16 includes an electric machine such as an electric motor/generator (M/G) 18, an associatedtraction battery 20, atorque converter 22, and a multiple step-ratio automatic transmission, orgearbox 24. - The
engine 14 and the M/G 18 are both drive sources for theHEV 10. Theengine 14 generally represents a power source that may include an internal combustion engine such as a gasoline, diesel, or natural gas powered engine, or a fuel cell. Theengine 14 generates an engine power and corresponding engine torque that is supplied to the M/G 18 when adisconnect clutch 26 between theengine 14 and the M/G 18 is at least partially engaged. The M/G 18 may be implemented by any one of a plurality of types of electric machines. For example, M/G 18 may be a permanent magnet synchronous motor.Power electronics 56 condition direct current (DC) power provided by thebattery 20 to the requirements of the M/G 18, as will be described below. For example, power electronics may provide three phase alternating current (AC) to the M/G 18. - When the
disconnect clutch 26 is at least partially engaged, power flow from theengine 14 to the M/G 18 or from the M/G 18 to theengine 14 is possible. For example, thedisconnect clutch 26 may be engaged and M/G 18 may operate as a generator to convert rotational energy provided by acrankshaft 28 and M/G shaft 30 into electrical energy to be stored in thebattery 20. Thedisconnect clutch 26 can also be disengaged to isolate theengine 14 from the remainder of thepowertrain 12 such that the M/G 18 can act as the sole drive source for theHEV 10.Shaft 30 extends through the M/G 18. The M/G 18 is continuously drivably connected to theshaft 30, whereas theengine 14 is drivably connected to theshaft 30 only when thedisconnect clutch 26 is at least partially engaged. When thedisconnect clutch 26 is engaged, a fixed speed relationship exists between the speed of theengine 14 and the speed of the M/G 18. - The M/
G 18 is connected to thetorque converter 22 viashaft 30. Thetorque converter 22 is therefore connected to theengine 14 when thedisconnect clutch 26 is at least partially engaged. Thetorque converter 22 includes an impeller fixed to M/G shaft 30 and a turbine fixed to a transmission input shaft 32. Thetorque converter 22 thus provides a hydraulic coupling betweenshaft 30 and transmission input shaft 32. Thetorque converter 22 transmits power from the impeller to the turbine when the impeller rotates faster than the turbine. The magnitude of the turbine torque and impeller torque generally depend upon the relative speeds. When the ratio of impeller speed to turbine speed is sufficiently high, the turbine torque is a multiple of the impeller torque. A torque converter bypass clutch 34 may also be provided that, when engaged, frictionally or mechanically couples the impeller and the turbine of thetorque converter 22, permitting more efficient power transfer. The torque converter bypass clutch 34 may be operated as a launch clutch to provide smooth vehicle launch. Alternatively, or in combination, a launch clutch similar to disconnect clutch 26 may be provided between the M/G 18 andgearbox 24 for applications that do not include atorque converter 22 or a torque converter bypass clutch 34. In some applications, disconnect clutch 26 is generally referred to as an upstream clutch and launch clutch 34 (which may be a torque converter bypass clutch) is generally referred to as a downstream clutch. - The
gearbox 24 may include gear sets (not shown) that are selectively placed in different gear ratios by selective engagement of friction elements such as clutches and brakes (not shown) to establish the desired multiple discrete or step drive ratios. The friction elements are controllable through a shift schedule that connects and disconnects certain elements of the gear sets to control the ratio between atransmission output shaft 36 and the transmission input shaft 32. Thegearbox 24 is automatically shifted from one ratio to another based on various vehicle and ambient operating conditions by an associated controller, such as a powertrain control unit (PCU) 50. Thegearbox 24 then provides powertrain output torque tooutput shaft 36. Thegearbox 24 may be understood to provide a selectable fixed speed relationship between the speed of M/G 18 and the speed ofvehicle traction wheels 42. - It should be understood that the hydraulically controlled
gearbox 24 used with atorque converter 22 is but one example of a gearbox or transmission arrangement; any multiple ratio gearbox that accepts input torque(s) from an engine and/or a motor and then provides torque to an output shaft at the different ratios is acceptable for use with embodiments of the present disclosure. For example,gearbox 24 may be implemented by an automated mechanical (or manual) transmission (AMT) that includes one or more servo motors to translate/rotate shift forks along a shift rail to select a desired gear ratio. As generally understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, an AMT may be used in applications with higher torque requirements, for example. - As shown in the representative embodiment of
FIG. 1 , theoutput shaft 36 is connected to a differential 40. The differential 40 drives a pair ofwheels 42 viarespective axles 44 connected to the differential 40. The differential transmits approximately equal torque to eachwheel 42 while permitting slight speed differences such as when the vehicle turns a corner. Different types of differentials or similar devices may be used to distribute torque from the powertrain to one or more wheels. In some applications, torque distribution may vary depending on the particular operating mode or condition, for example. - The
powertrain 12 further includes an associated powertrain control unit (PCU) 50. While illustrated as one controller, thePCU 50 may be part of a larger control system and may be controlled by various other controllers throughout thevehicle 10, such as a vehicle system controller (VSC). It should therefore be understood that thepowertrain control unit 50 and one or more other controllers can collectively be referred to as a “controller” that controls various actuators in response to signals from various sensors to control functions such as starting/stoppingengine 14, operating M/G 18 to provide wheel torque orcharge battery 20, select or schedule transmission shifts, etc.Controller 50 may include a microprocessor or central processing unit (CPU) in communication with various types of computer readable storage devices or media. Computer readable storage devices or media may include volatile and nonvolatile storage in read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), and keep-alive memory (KAM), for example. KAM is a persistent or non-volatile memory that may be used to store various operating variables while the CPU is powered down. Computer-readable storage devices or media may be implemented using any of a number of known memory devices such as PROMs (programmable read-only memory), EPROMs (electrically PROM), EEPROMs (electrically erasable PROM), flash memory, or any other electric, magnetic, optical, or combination memory devices capable of storing data, some of which represent executable instructions, used by the controller in controlling the engine or vehicle. - The controller communicates with various engine/vehicle sensors and actuators via an input/output (I/O) interface that may be implemented as a single integrated interface that provides various raw data or signal conditioning, processing, and/or conversion, short-circuit protection, and the like. Alternatively, one or more dedicated hardware or firmware chips may be used to condition and process particular signals before being supplied to the CPU. As generally illustrated in the representative embodiment of
FIG. 1 ,PCU 50 may communicate signals to and/or fromengine 14, disconnect clutch 26, M/G 18, launch clutch 34,transmission gearbox 24, andpower electronics 56. Although not explicitly illustrated, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize various functions or components that may be controlled byPCU 50 within each of the subsystems identified above. Representative examples of parameters, systems, and/or components that may be directly or indirectly actuated using control logic executed by the controller include fuel injection timing, rate, and duration, throttle valve position, spark plug ignition timing (for spark-ignition engines), intake/exhaust valve timing and duration, front-end accessory drive (FEAD) components such as an alternator, air conditioning compressor, battery charging, regenerative braking, M/G operation, clutch pressures for disconnect clutch 26, launch clutch 34, andtransmission gearbox 24, and the like. Sensors communicating input through the I/O interface may be used to indicate turbocharger boost pressure, crankshaft position (PIP), engine rotational speed (RPM), wheel speeds (WS1, WS2), vehicle speed (VSS), coolant temperature (ECT), intake manifold pressure (MAP), accelerator pedal position (PPS), ignition switch position (IGN), throttle valve position (TP), air temperature (TMP), exhaust gas oxygen (EGO) or other exhaust gas component concentration or presence, intake air flow (MAF), transmission gear, ratio, or mode, transmission oil temperature (TOT), transmission turbine speed (TS), torque converter bypass clutch 34 status (TCC), deceleration or shift mode (MDE), for example. - Control logic or functions performed by
PCU 50 may be represented by flow charts or similar diagrams in one or more figures. These figures provide representative control strategies and/or logic that may be implemented using one or more processing strategies such as event-driven, interrupt-driven, multi-tasking, multi-threading, and the like. As such, various steps or functions illustrated may be performed in the sequence illustrated, in parallel, or in some cases omitted. Although not always explicitly illustrated, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that one or more of the illustrated steps or functions may be repeatedly performed depending upon the particular processing strategy being used. Similarly, the order of processing is not necessarily required to achieve the features and advantages described herein, but is provided for ease of illustration and description. The control logic may be implemented primarily in software executed by a microprocessor-based vehicle, engine, and/or powertrain controller, such asPCU 50. Of course, the control logic may be implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware in one or more controllers depending upon the particular application. When implemented in software, the control logic may be provided in one or more computer-readable storage devices or media having stored data representing code or instructions executed by a computer to control the vehicle or its subsystems. The computer-readable storage devices or media may include one or more of a number of known physical devices which utilize electric, magnetic, and/or optical storage to keep executable instructions and associated calibration information, operating variables, and the like. - An
accelerator pedal 52 is used by the driver of the vehicle to provide a demanded torque, power, or drive command to propel the vehicle. In general, depressing and releasing thepedal 52 generates an accelerator pedal position signal that may be interpreted by thecontroller 50 as a demand for increased power or decreased power, respectively. Based at least upon input from the pedal, thecontroller 50 commands torque from theengine 14 and/or the M/G 18. Thecontroller 50 also controls the timing of gear shifts within thegearbox 24, as well as engagement or disengagement of thedisconnect clutch 26 and the torque converter bypass clutch 34. Like thedisconnect clutch 26, the torque converter bypass clutch 34 can be modulated across a range between the engaged and disengaged positions. This produces a variable slip in thetorque converter 22 in addition to the variable slip produced by the hydrodynamic coupling between the impeller and the turbine. Alternatively, the torque converter bypass clutch 34 may be operated as locked or open without using a modulated operating mode depending on the particular application. - To drive the vehicle with the
engine 14, thedisconnect clutch 26 is at least partially engaged to transfer at least a portion of the engine torque through the disconnect clutch 26 to the M/G 18, and then from the M/G 18 through thetorque converter 22 andgearbox 24. The M/G 18 may assist theengine 14 by providing additional power to turn theshaft 30. This operation mode may be referred to as a “hybrid mode” or an “electric assist mode.” - To drive the vehicle with the M/
G 18 as the sole power source, the power flow remains the same except the disconnect clutch 26 isolates theengine 14 from the remainder of thepowertrain 12. Combustion in theengine 14 may be disabled or otherwise OFF during this time to conserve fuel. Thetraction battery 20 transmits stored electrical energy throughwiring 54 topower electronics 56 that may include an inverter, for example. Thepower electronics 56 convert DC voltage from thebattery 20 into AC voltage to be used by the M/G 18. ThePCU 50 commands thepower electronics 56 to convert voltage from thebattery 20 to an AC voltage provided to the M/G 18 to provide positive or negative torque to theshaft 30. This operation mode may be referred to as an “electric only” operation mode. - In any mode of operation, the M/
G 18 may act as a motor and provide a driving force for thepowertrain 12. Alternatively, the M/G 18 may act as a generator and convert kinetic energy from thepowertrain 12 into electric energy to be stored in thebattery 20. The M/G 18 may act as a generator while theengine 14 is providing propulsion power for thevehicle 10, for example. The M/G 18 may additionally act as a generator during times of regenerative braking in which rotational energy from spinningwheels 42 is transferred back through thegearbox 24 and is converted into electrical energy for storage in thebattery 20. - It should be understood that the schematic illustrated in
FIG. 1 is merely exemplary and is not intended to be limited. Other configurations are contemplated that utilize selective engagement of both an engine and a motor to transmit through the transmission. For example, the M/G 18 may be offset from thecrankshaft 28, an additional motor may be provided to start theengine 14, and/or the M/G 18 may be provided between thetorque converter 22 and thegearbox 24. Other configurations are contemplated without deviating from the scope of the present disclosure. - When operating in hybrid mode,
controller 50 allocates a portion of driver power requests toengine 14 and a portion to M/G 18. In other hybrid vehicle configurations, motor speed and engine speed may be controlled independently to allocate the driver power request among a motor and engine. In such configurations, a controller varies motor torque, motor speed, engine torque, and engine speed to accommodate the driver power request. In the configuration shown inFIG. 1 , when disconnect clutch 26 is engaged for operation inhybrid mode crankshaft 28 and M/G shaft 30 rotate at a common speed. Consequently known methods for allocating the driver power request betweenengine 14 and M/G 18 may not be used. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , control logic for controlling an engine and a traction motor is illustrated. A driver torque request τd is received as indicated at 58. The driver torque request τd is equivalent to a driver power request divided by a current vehicle speed. A current engine speed ωe is also received as indicated at 60. An optimum engine torque τopt at current engine speed ωe is obtained atoperation 62.Operation 62 includes a desiredcharacteristic curve 64 calibrated to provide an optimum engine torque τopt for the desired characteristic at a given engine speed ωe. The desired characteristic may be, for example, peak system efficiency. The desired characteristic could also include reduced emissions, other characteristics, or a combination of characteristics. For explanatory purposes,operation 62 is represented as a chart illustrating operating zones of the engine including a plurality ofsystem efficiency contours 66 bounded by a maximumengine torque curve 68. The desired characteristic curves and contours may be calibrated through vehicle testing, computer simulation, or other methods as appropriate. If the desired characteristic is system efficiency, the efficiency curves and contours will depend on an engine brake specific fuel consumption, motor efficiency map, battery state of charge, powertrain efficiency, and other factors. The operation may be embodied in a lookup table, algorithm, or other methods. The optimum engine torque τopt is then provided tooperation 70. Atoperation 70, the optimum engine torque τopt is subtracted from the driver torque request τd. The resulting difference is the desired motor torque τm des. The engine will be commanded to provide a desired engine torque τe des equal to τopt, and the motor will be commanded to provide a torque equal to τm des. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , another embodiment of control logic for controlling an engine and a traction motor is illustrated in flowchart form. A driver torque request is received, as illustrated atblock 72. An engine torque corresponding with a desired performance characteristic at a current engine speed is then determined, as illustrated atblock 74. As an example, this may include using a lookup table calibrated for peak system efficiency, as illustrated atblock 76. The engine is then commanded to provide the engine torque determined inblock 74, as illustrated atblock 78. The commanded engine torque may additionally be scaled in response to a battery state of charge, as illustrated atblock 80. For example, if the battery state of charge is above a first threshold, the commanded engine torque may be reduced, while if the battery state of charge is below a second threshold, the commanded engine torque may be increased. The motor is then commanded to provide a torque to compensate the difference between the driver torque request and the commanded engine torque, as illustrated atblock 82. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , an alternative embodiment of control logic for controlling an engine and a traction motor is illustrated in flowchart form. A driver torque request is received, as illustrated atblock 84. A motor torque corresponding with a desired performance characteristic at the current engine speed and the driver torque request is then determined, as illustrated atblock 86. As an example, this may include using a three dimensional lookup table calibrated for peak system efficiency, as illustrated atblock 88. A motor torque scale factor is then determined based on a traction battery state of charge and current vehicle power, as illustrated atblock 90. This may include using a second three-dimensional lookup table, as illustrated atblock 92. Such a lookup table may be calibrated to reduce the scale factor as the traction battery state of charge drops or increase the scale factor as a driver torque request increases. The motor torque fromblock 86 is multiplied by the scale factor fromblock 90, and the motor is commanded to provide the scaled motor torque, as illustrated atblock 94. The engine is then commanded to provide a torque to compensate the difference between the driver torque request and the motor torque commanded inblock 94, as illustrated inblock 96. Such an embodiment provides various advantages including limiting the motor torque as battery state of charge drops to sustain battery power. Additionally, such an embodiment enables a manufacturer to balance various desirable characteristics including system efficiency and maintaining battery charge by calibrating at least one lookup table. - As can be seen from the various embodiments, the present invention provides a system and method for allocating power between a traction motor and an engine in a hybrid vehicle having a common rotational speed for an engine crankshaft and traction motor rotor. The system and method allocate power to optimize powertrain efficiency or other desirable powertrain performance characteristics.
- While exemplary embodiments are described above, it is not intended that these embodiments describe all possible forms of the invention. Rather, the words used in the specification are words of description rather than limitation, and it is understood that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Additionally, the features of various implementing embodiments may be combined to form further embodiments of the invention.
