Abstract

A regenerative braking control system and a regenerative braking control method using a paddle shift of a hybrid vehicle, include a paddle switch including a first paddle shift for a down shift and a second paddle shift for an up shift, a first controller electrically connected to the paddle switch and configured to determine a deceleration control amount of regenerative braking for stopping the vehicle as a hold operation of the first paddle shift is input, and a second controller electrically connected to the first controller and configured to control a motor torque for the regenerative braking according to the deceleration control amount determined from the first controller and to control hydraulic braking of the vehicle to be executed when reaching a stop state of the vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A regenerative braking control system using a paddle shift of a vehicle, the regenerative braking control system comprising:
a paddle switch including a first paddle shift for down shifting and a second paddle shift for up shifting;
a first controller electrically connected to the paddle switch and configured to determine a deceleration control amount of regenerative braking for stopping the vehicle as a hold operation of the first paddle shift is input; and
a second controller electrically connected to the first controller and configured to control a motor torque for the regenerative braking according to the deceleration control amount determined from the first controller and to control hydraulic braking of the vehicle to be executed when the second controller determines that a stop state of the vehicle has been maintained for a predetermined time period in a state in which a press of the first paddle shift is maintained for a predetermined time period,
wherein the second controller is further configured to selectively control an amount of the hydraulic braking according to inclination conditions of the vehicle when the hydraulic braking has been executed, yet to control the motor torque for regenerative braking to be remained in a reduced state,
wherein the second controller is further configured to control in the executing of the hydraulic braking, when an operation of the first paddle shift is input, among a plurality of preset deceleration steps according to deceleration due to control, an initial first step is performed on the regenerative braking, and when the hold operation of the first paddle shift is performed, the control is changed to a final step for stopping the vehicle, and
wherein, in determining of whether the hold operation of the first paddle shift has been performed, when the hold operation of the first paddle shift is released and the operation of the first paddle shift is released, a deceleration step is controlled upward to apply a regenerative braking torque which is greater than a regenerative braking torque before the first paddle shift is released.

2. The regenerative braking control system of claim 1 , wherein the second controller is further configured to control the hydraulic braking to be selectively released depending on whether an accelerator pedal operation detected from an accelerator position sensor (APS) is executed in response to an accelerator pedal operation when the vehicle has been stopped by the execution of the hydraulic braking.

3. The regenerative braking control system of claim 2 , wherein the second controller is further configured to perform an acceleration traveling in response to an input of an APS detection signal.

4. A regenerative braking control method using a paddle shift of a vehicle, the regenerative braking control method comprising:
determining, by a first controller, whether a hold operation of a first paddle shift has been performed in response to an input of an operation of the first paddle shift for a down shift in a regenerative braking condition of the vehicle;
performing, by a second controller electrically connected to the first controller, regenerative braking when the second controller determines that the hold operation of the first paddle shift is performed for a predetermined time period in the determining of whether the hold operation of the first paddle shift has been performed, achieving a stop state of the vehicle; and
executing, by the second controller, hydraulic braking when the second controller determines that the stop state of the vehicle has been maintained for a predetermined time period in a state in which a press of the first paddle shift is maintained for a predetermined time period,
wherein, in the executing of the hydraulic braking, an amount of the hydraulic braking is selectively controlled according to an inclination condition of the vehicle in a state in which the hydraulic braking is executed, yet to control the motor torque for regenerative braking to be remained in a reduced state,
wherein, in the executing of the hydraulic braking, when an operation of the first paddle shift is input, among a plurality of preset deceleration steps according to deceleration due to control by the second controller, an initial first step is performed on the regenerative braking, and when the hold operation of the first paddle shift is performed, the control is changed to a final step for stopping the vehicle, and
wherein, in the determining of whether the hold operation of the first paddle shift has been performed, when the hold operation of the first paddle shift is released and the operation of the first paddle shift is released, a deceleration step is controlled upward to apply a regenerative braking torque which is greater than a regenerative braking torque before the first paddle shift is released.

5. The regenerative braking control method of claim 4 , further including:
determining, by the second controller, whether an accelerator pedal operation detected from an APS is executed with respect to the vehicle in the stop state due to the execution of the hydraulic braking.

6. The regenerative braking control method of claim 5 , further including:
selectively releasing, by the second controller, the hydraulic braking in response to an input of an APS detection signal and performing an acceleration traveling in response to the input of the APS detection signal.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which a program for performing the regenerative braking control method of claim 4 is recorded.
