And determining corresponding control information according to different combinations of the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, the operation condition and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, and sending the corresponding control information to the generator.
It is worth to say that the electric quantity of the whole vehicle obtained by the ECU is the state of charge (SOC) of the whole vehicle storage battery. The electricity consumption interval, the sufficient interval and the surplus interval of the electric quantity of the whole vehicle can be set according to experience or requirements, for example, the 0-60% interval of the electric quantity of the storage battery can be set as the electricity consumption interval, the 61-80% interval of the electric quantity is set as the sufficient interval, and the 81-100% interval of the electric quantity is set as the surplus interval. The speed of the whole vehicle can be monitored through a vehicle speed sensor and then sent to the ECU, and the ECU judges that the whole vehicle is currently in an acceleration running working condition, a uniform running working condition or a deceleration running working condition. The interval of the whole vehicle electricity consumption can also be set according to experience or specific requirements.
Specifically, the determining corresponding control information according to different combinations of the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, the operation condition and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, and sending the corresponding control information to the generator specifically includes the following steps:
When the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in the power shortage interval, the ECU determines to send control information for improving the output voltage to the generator so as to improve the output voltage of the generator and rapidly charge the storage battery to ensure the electric quantity of the storage battery no matter the running working condition of the whole vehicle and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle. Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a medium electric quantity interval and the whole vehicle is in a deceleration running working condition, the ECU determines to send control information for improving the output voltage to the generator no matter how the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is. Because the whole vehicle runs at a reduced speed, the load of the whole vehicle engine is smaller, so that the output voltage of the generator can be increased to charge the storage battery.

Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a sufficient interval and the whole vehicle is in a uniform-speed running working condition, the ECU determines to send control information of normal output voltage to the generator no matter what interval the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in. Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in an excess interval, the whole vehicle is in a deceleration running working condition, and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a medium electric quantity interval or a high electric quantity interval, determining control information for sending normal output voltage to the generator.
Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a sufficient interval, the whole vehicle is in an acceleration working condition, and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a medium electric quantity interval or a low electric quantity interval, the ECU determines to send control information for reducing the output voltage to the generator so as to control the generator to reduce the output voltage. Because the electric quantity of the storage battery is sufficient, the electricity consumption is in a medium electricity consumption interval or a low electricity consumption interval, the electric quantity of the current storage battery can meet the running requirement of the vehicle, and the whole vehicle is in an acceleration working condition, so that the load of the current generator is larger, the generator is controlled to reduce the output voltage, the load of the engine is reduced, the power consumption of the engine is reduced, and the effects of energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved. Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in an excess region, the whole vehicle is in a uniform-speed running working condition, and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a high-power-consumption region and a medium-power-consumption region, determining to send control information for reducing output voltage to the generator.
And when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in an excessive interval and the whole vehicle is under an acceleration running working condition, determining to send control information of stopping output voltage to the generator no matter what interval the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in, so as to control the generator to stop generating. Or when the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in an excess interval, the whole vehicle is in a uniform-speed running working condition, and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle is in a low-power-consumption interval, determining to send control information for stopping outputting voltage to the generator.
The voltage of the generator is controlled according to the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, the operation condition and the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, so that the voltage of the generator is controlled under the condition of meeting the electric quantity of the whole vehicle, the generator is used for accurately charging the storage battery, the load of the engine is reduced, the power consumption of the engine is reduced, and the effects of energy conservation and emission reduction are achieved.

The regulator changes the output voltage of the generator by regulating the exciting current after receiving the control information of the ECU.
In some embodiments, the following steps are also performed:
And if the acquired ambient temperature exceeds a set temperature threshold, sending the stopping output control information to the engine so as to control the generator to stop outputting.
Specifically, the ECU obtains the temperature of the whole vehicle electrical equipment and mechanical equipment through a temperature sensor, and if the obtained temperature exceeds a set temperature threshold value, the ECU sends control information for stopping outputting voltage to the regulator so as to enable the machine adjusting control generator to cut off exciting current, the generator does not generate electricity, and the generator is prevented from being invalid due to high temperature.
In some embodiments, response time control information is sent to the generator to control the power generation response time of the generator according to the acquired operating state of the engine.
Specifically, if the rotational speed of the engine is less than the set rotational speed, response time control information is sent to the generator to extend the response time of the excitation terminal of the generator. When the engine is in low-rotation-speed and heavy-load, the load response time is improved, the generator is delayed to generate electricity, the engine shake is reduced, and the comfort is improved.
In some embodiments, the ECU sensor is further configured to obtain road condition information, determine whether to control the generator to generate electricity or delay generating electricity according to different road conditions, for example, when the whole vehicle runs on a climbing road condition, the load of the generator is large, and cut off the magnetic field circuit, so that the generator does not generate electricity, and the torque load of the whole vehicle is reduced.
In some embodiments, the ECU further performs the steps of:
and receiving actual output voltage information of the generator and rotating speed information of the generator returned by the regulator, and determining whether the generator operates according to the control information.

And the data verification section is used for verifying the information returned by the dispatching machine so as to determine whether the generator operates according to the control information and output target voltage.
The ECU sends control information to the regulator according to the running condition of the whole vehicle to control the regulator to complete the following functions:
Regulating voltage to a set value, wherein the voltage set value is in the interval of 22V-31V, controlling the Load Response (LRC) time of the generator, wherein the time interval is 0-15S, controlling the Load Response (LRC) cut-off speed of the generator, wherein the speed interval is 2400RPM-8000RPM, controlling the exciting current of the generator, wherein the exciting current interval is 0A-15A, and controlling the generator to stop working when the temperature exceeds a temperature threshold value so as to perform high-temperature cut-off protection.
As shown in fig. 6, the ECU transmits control information to change the output voltage of the generator in such a manner that the output voltage of the generator is determined by the exciting current, and the larger the exciting current is, the larger the output voltage of the generator is.
