The invention enables a novel single-motor and double-
clutch type
hybrid electric vehicle to be a
study object and provides a control method of the process of utilizing a motor to start an engine during vehicle running. First a structure and a working mode of the
hybrid electric vehicle are analyzed, a
system dynamics model is established, a
working range of the
hybrid electric vehicle is divided, corresponding torque management strategies are formulated; then in the practical application process, whether the conditions for utilizing the motor to start the engine are achieved is judged by calculating demand torque, value of
state of charge (SOC) of a battery, a rotating speed of the motor; and when the conditions for utilizing the motor to start the engine are achieved, model switch is performed, a moment-limiting
clutch jointing instruction is sent out, and the
processing of utilizing the motor to start the engine is achieved by controlling
oil pressure of a moment-limiting
clutch hydraulic cylinder and utilizing the formulated torque coordination-control strategies to perform coordination control of
motor torque, engine torque and transmission torque of a moment-limiting clutch. By utilizing the
advantage that the motor responds fast and timely increasing or reducing the
motor torque according to the control strategies, the control method provides the demand torque for starting the engine during the vehicle running or compensates the insufficiency of the engine torque, reduces
impact degree in the switching process and improves ride comfort of the hybrid electric vehicle.
