1. A control method of a bypass energy storage device for an electronically controlled hydraulic braking system, wherein the bypass energy storage device for the electronically controlled hydraulic braking system used in the control method comprises a brake master cylinder, wherein a first pipeline and a second pipeline are arranged at an outlet end of the brake master cylinder, one end of the first pipeline is connected with a fourth isolation valve for controlling an on-off of the first pipeline, and one end of the second pipeline is connected with a fifth isolation valve for controlling an on-off of the second pipeline; one end of the fourth isolation valve and one end of the fifth isolation valve are both communicated to an ABS/ESC;
the first pipeline is also connected with a first branch, one end of the first branch is communicated to an energy accumulator, and the first branch is connected with a first inlet valve for controlling an on-off of the first branch;
the second pipeline is also connected with a second branch, one end of the second branch is also communicated to the energy accumulator, and the second branch is connected with a second inlet valve for controlling an on-off of the second branch;
the energy accumulator is also communicated with a third branch, one end of the third branch is communicated to the first pipeline or the second pipeline, and the third branch is connected with a third return valve for controlling an on-off of the third branch;
a working condition of the bypass energy storage device also comprises a normal condition, wherein the normal condition is defined as: when an energy recovery function is switched off and when a driver steps on a brake pedal, all electromagnetic valves are kept in a power-off state, and a brake fluid directly enters the ABS/ESC through the brake master cylinder, the fourth isolation valve, and the fifth isolation valve;
the control method comprises the following steps:
step I: monitoring, by an electronically controlled hydraulic controller, whether the driver has a braking intention or not in real time, specifically comprising acquiring a signal of a displacement sensor of the brake pedal through AD, determining and calculating a depth and a speed of the driver for stepping on the brake pedal, and then obtaining a braking deceleration a required by a vehicle at the moment according to a vehicle braking characteristic matching parameter table;
step II: determining whether the driver is in an emergency braking or not according to an opening degree of the brake pedal and the speed of stepping on the brake pedal; if yes, closing the energy recovery function;
step III: when the energy recovery function is switched off, entering a working state under the normal condition, and directly performing a hydraulic braking;
when the energy recovery function is switched on, entering, by the bypass energy storage device, a working state during a pressurization process, and distributing an electric braking torque and an hydraulic braking torque; and
step VI: when the driver releases the brake pedal or is in a process of releasing, entering, by the bypass energy storage device, a pressure-relief process;
working states of the bypass energy storage device comprise the pressurization process and the pressure-relief process; wherein
the pressurization process is as follows: after the electronically controlled hydraulic controller detects the driver steps on the brake pedal and the vehicle simultaneously starts the energy recovery function, the first inlet valve and the second inlet valve are opened, the fourth isolation valve and the fifth isolation valve are closed, and the brake fluid enters the energy accumulator through the brake master cylinder, the first inlet valve and the second inlet valve;
braking forces on wheels are provided by back-dragging of a driving motor, the vehicle performs a braking energy recovery work, the electronically controlled hydraulic controller monitors the opening degree of the brake pedal at all times, and magnitudes of a total braking force request and a back-drag torque are determined;
when the back-drag torque is insufficient, the first inlet valve and the second inlet valve are closed, the fourth isolation valve and the fifth isolation valve are opened, and an insufficient braking force is supplemented with a hydraulic pressure; the back-dragging of the driving motor and a mechanical braking co-work in a serial mode to achieve a deceleration effect of the vehicle;
the pressure-relief process is as follows: in a pressure reduction stage, as the driver releases the brake pedal or is in the process of releasing, the first inlet valve and the second inlet valve are powered off and closed, the fourth isolation valve and the fifth isolation valve are powered off and opened, and the third return valve is powered on and opened according to pressures of the first and the second pipelines, as the brake pedal is not stepped on or a pressure of a main hydraulic circuit is small at the moment, a pressure of the brake master cylinder does not exist, and under an action of a pressure of the energy accumulator, the brake fluid in a low-pressure energy accumulator returns to the brake master cylinder through the third return valve under an action of an internal spring.
