Abstract:

Distributed drive vehicles have attracted wide attention recently because of their advantages such as independently controllable drive torque of left and right wheels. The use of two-speed transmission can effectively improve the power and economy of this kind of electric vehicles. In this paper, a hub-motor two-speed transmission configuration for distributed drive vehicles is proposed, for which a shift control strategy without power interruption is designed based on feedforward and feedback control method to solve the problem of power interruption in the shif process of the two speed transmission. Then, for the problem of coordinated shift of left-right hub-motor two-gear transmission, a left-right coordinated shift control strategy based on logic threshold is proposed in this paper to avoid large abrupt lateral and longitudinal acceleration in the process of shifting. Finally, based on the Simulink-Simscape model, simulation is performed to verify the control strategies of power non-interruption shift and left-right coordinated shift. The simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively avoid the power interruption in the hub motor two-gear transmission shifting process, and can effectively reduce the abrupt acceleration change of the vehicle due to the left and right uncoordinated shift.

Key words: electric vehicles, distributed drive, hub motor with two-speed transmission, no power interruption, left-right coordinated shift
