Embodiment 1

[0052] In this embodiment, a vehicle fan control method is provided, such as figure 1 shown, including the following steps

[0053] S1: Determine the engine air volume requirement according to the engine water temperature, current vehicle speed and ambient temperature.

[0054] Firstly, the mapping relationship of the air volume demand corresponding to the vehicle speed, ambient temperature and engine water temperature is established in advance, and then the air volume demand under the current vehicle speed, current ambient temperature and current engine water temperature is obtained as the engine air volume demand by looking up the table.

[0055]When establishing the mapping relationship of the air volume demand corresponding to the vehicle speed, ambient temperature and engine water temperature, first divide the vehicle speed into multiple ranges; then establish the air volume demand duty cycle corresponding to the ambient temperature and engine temperature within each spee...

Embodiment 2

[0070] In this embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment 1, a specific implementation manner of fan speed control according to the maximum fan air volume requirement is further provided, including the following process:

[0071] S51: Determine the required fan speed according to the maximum fan air volume requirement, and correct the required fan speed according to the fan resonance noise speed to obtain a corrected speed.

[0072] S52: Obtain the required duty cycle of the fan according to the corrected rotational speed;

[0073] S53: after taking the larger required duty ratio of the fan and the required duty ratio of the air conditioner, correcting the battery voltage, and then processing the maximum and minimum rotational speed limits of the fan to obtain the final fan duty ratio;

[0074] S54: Send the final duty cycle of the fan to the controller of the fan to control the operation of the fan.

[0075] In this solution, the required fan speed is correct...

Embodiment 3

[0077] In this embodiment, a vehicle fan control method is provided, such as figure 2 As shown, the engine control unit ECU divides the fan air volume demand into three map level ranges according to the vehicle speed through the determination of the vehicle speed range, in which each map forms a table according to the engine water temperature and the ambient temperature, and the engine control unit ECU according to the map Find out the duty cycle at this engine speed, ambient temperature and engine water temperature. At the same time, the engine ECU calculates the maximum fan air volume duty cycle based on the four factors of TCU oil temperature alarm signal air volume demand, thermal energy management air volume demand, accessory air volume demand, and engine fan demand. The air volume duty ratio of the fan is then corrected according to the engine speed and ambient pressure. The correction here is verified by experiments. The corresponding speed is obtained through the fan ...

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle fan control method and system, which determines the air volume requirement of the transmitter according to the water temperature of the transmitter, the current vehicle speed, and the ambient temperature, and then combines the auxiliary air volume demand signal according to the air volume demand of the transmitter, such as the air volume demand of the transmission oil temperature signal , Thermal energy management air volume demand or accessory air volume demand, determine the maximum fan air volume demand, so as to obtain the required fan speed, and perform fan control. This solution uses vehicle speed, engine coolant temperature, and ambient temperature as the main factors for fan control. At the same time, it combines the gearbox Oil temperature, heat management or other accessories to precisely control the speed of the electric fan, keep the fan running at a low speed as much as possible, stabilize the water temperature of the engine, ensure that the engine runs at the best working temperature, and achieve the function of saving fuel and reducing emissions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automobiles, in particular to a method for controlling an electric fan used in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] In order for the vehicle to run normally, the engine needs to be cooled, and water cooling is generally used. This water-cooling method needs to set up a radiator, which is connected to the engine through a circulation pipe, and water is injected into the circulation pipe during operation, and the water is used to conduct heat. In order to ensure the heat dissipation effect, a fan needs to be provided to blow air on the surface of the radiator. At present, electronic fans are commonly used, also known as electric fans. This fan is characterized by a controller, which is usually a transmitter controller, also known as an ECU, which can receive water temperature signals and control them according to the water temperature signals. Electronic fan speed to achieve engine cooling balance, the fan spee...
