Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrogen internal combustion engines, and in particular to a scavenging control method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium for a hydrogen internal combustion engine. Background Art

[0002] A hydrogen internal combustion engine is an internal combustion engine that uses hydrogen as fuel. Hydrogen is a renewable fuel with high specific energy (energy per unit mass), fast combustion speed, and high combustion temperature, which may provide stronger power output. Using hydrogen as fuel helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas, thereby promoting the diversification and security of the energy structure. In addition, the main product of hydrogen combustion is water vapor, which has less negative impact on the atmospheric environment.

[0003] Since hydrogen is used as fuel, the main combustion product is water vapor, so the water content of the gas in a hydrogen internal combustion engine is significantly higher than that of other fuels. There is a temperature drop in the exhaust pipe of a hydrogen internal combustion engine. When the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust pipe drops to a certain level, the water in the exhaust gas will condense. Therefore, various components of the hydrogen internal combustion engine are affected by the high water content and are more likely to rust, affecting the working condition and service life of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that, unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted with idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as here.

[0041] Explanation of relevant terms:

[0042] Excess air coefficient: also known as "excess air coefficient", "excess air coefficient", commonly known as "residual air coefficient". It refers to the ratio of the actual amount of air supplied to fuel combustion to the theoretical amount of air. It is an important parameter reflecting the fuel-air ratio, and is usually represented by the symbol "λ". In the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, in order to make the fuel burn as completely as possible, the actual amount of air supplied must always be greater than the theoretical amount of air (the excess part is called "excess air"), that is, the excess air coefficient must be greater than 1. However, combustion theory and operating experience show that λ that is too large or too small (indicating too much or too little air supply) is not conducive to combustion, that is, different combustion equipment has its own optimal excess air coefficient value.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The graph shows the variation of water content in exhaust gas of three different fuels: hydrogen, natural gas and diesel. The water content in exhaust gas of hydrogen internal combustion engine is significantly higher than that of other fuels. The high water content in exhaust gas after hydrogen combustion in hydrogen internal combustion engine is one of the main reasons for rust of hydrogen internal combustion engine. In the related art, the high water content in the gas of hydrogen internal combustion engine causes various parts of hydrogen internal combustion engine to be affected by the high water content, resulting in a high probability of rust, which affects the working state and service life of hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0044] In view of the problems existing in the related art, the scavenging control method of the hydrogen internal combustion engine provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains a first gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine according to the hydrogen internal combustion engine being in a flameout state, and controls the hydrogen internal combustion engine to perform a first scavenging operation according to the first gas water content being greater than or equal to a first preset value, and in response to the duration of the first scavenging operation reaching the first preset duration, returns to the method of obtaining the first gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. In this way, the gas water content inside the hydrogen internal combustion gas can be reduced to a level that meets the rust prevention requirements through the scavenging operation, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rust, keeping the gas water content inside the hydrogen internal combustion engine at a low level, keeping the hydrogen internal combustion engine in a good working state, and extending the service life of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0045] The following describes a scavenging control method, device, electronic device and storage medium for a hydrogen internal combustion engine proposed according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] refer to Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present application provides a scavenging control method for a hydrogen internal combustion engine, which may include:

[0047] S10. According to the hydrogen internal combustion engine being in a flameout state, obtaining a first gas water content in an exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0048] The exhaust system is part of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and includes components such as the supercharger volute, exhaust manifold, and exhaust tail pipe. When a normally working hydrogen internal combustion engine receives a shutdown command, the hydrogen supply valve is first disconnected, and then the hydrogen rail pressure continues to decrease, the hydrogen injection valve cannot be opened, and the injection action in the cylinder cannot be completed, and the hydrogen internal combustion engine is shut down. At this time, the fuel in the hydrogen supply pipeline is consumed, thereby preventing the risk of fuel leakage.

[0049] Exemplarily, a first gas water content sensor for detecting the first gas water content is disposed inside the supercharger volute, inside the exhaust manifold and / or inside the exhaust tail pipe.

[0050] Exemplarily, obtaining a first gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine may include: receiving a first gas water content detected by a first gas water content sensor, where the first gas water content sensor is disposed in the exhaust system.

[0051] Specifically, the first gas water content sensor can be arranged in the supercharger volute, the exhaust manifold and / or the exhaust tail pipe of the exhaust system, that is, the gas water content inside the supercharger volute, the exhaust manifold and / or the exhaust tail pipe can be obtained.

[0052] In another embodiment, a plurality of first gas water content sensors may be pre-set in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and after receiving the water content values ​​detected by the plurality of first gas water content sensors, the average value of each water content value is calculated, and the average value is used as the first gas water content. In this way, the obtained first gas water content can more accurately reflect the gas water content of the exhaust system.

[0053] The crankcase, cylinders and exhaust system are all part of a hydrogen internal combustion engine. The exhaust system includes components such as the turbocharger volute, exhaust manifold and exhaust tail pipe.

[0054] For example, multiple first gas moisture content sensors may be arranged on the inner side wall of the supercharger volute, the exhaust manifold and / or the exhaust tail pipe, and after receiving the moisture content values ​​detected by the multiple first gas moisture content sensors, the average value of each moisture content value is calculated, and the average value is used as the first gas moisture content. In this way, the obtained first gas moisture content can more accurately reflect the gas moisture content inside the exhaust system.

[0055] S20. When the water content of the first gas is greater than or equal to the first preset value, controlling the hydrogen internal combustion engine to perform a first scavenging operation.

[0056] The first preset value is a water content value that meets the rust prevention requirements, that is, when the first gas water content is greater than or equal to the first preset value, the probability of rust inside the hydrogen internal combustion engine, especially the exhaust system, is relatively high, and the rust prevention requirements are not met at this time. The first preset value can be pre-set based on empirical data or experimental data. If the first gas water content is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it means that the gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine does not meet the rust prevention requirements, and the gas water content in the exhaust system needs to be reduced, so a scavenging operation needs to be performed.

[0057] Specifically, the starter of the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be controlled to drive the hydrogen internal combustion engine to perform the first scavenging operation. When performing the scavenging operation, the starter of the internal combustion engine is controlled to be engaged with the flywheel ring gear of the internal combustion engine. At this time, the hydrogen injection valve is in a closed state and no hydrogen fuel is injected. The starter drags the crank connecting rod mechanism of the internal combustion engine to rotate, driving the piston to move upward, and the internal combustion engine enters the exhaust working mode to achieve the purpose of scavenging the high water content exhaust gas in the cylinder.

[0058] S30: In response to the duration of the first scavenging operation reaching a first preset duration, returning to the step of obtaining a first gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0059] In order to prevent the starter from working too long and generating too much heat, the dragging time is set not to exceed the first preset duration. The first preset duration can be preset based on empirical data or experimental data, for example, it can be 12 seconds or other durations. When the duration of the first scavenging operation reaches the first preset duration, a large part of the exhaust gas with a high water content in the exhaust system is discharged. At this time, the step of obtaining the first gas water content in the exhaust system of the hydrogen internal combustion engine is returned and executed in a loop until the first gas water content is less than the first preset value, and then subsequent operations are performed.

[0060] For example, the first preset time length may be pre-set according to the first gas moisture content δ in the exhaust system, wherein the relationship between the first preset time length t1 and the first gas moisture content δ is:

[0061] t1=-57δ 2 +72δ-9,

[0062] When 0<t1≤first threshold, the control makes the hydrogen internal combustion engine start and perform the first scavenging operation until the first preset duration is reached. The whole process only needs to start the hydrogen internal combustion engine once; when t1>first threshold, the control makes the hydrogen internal combustion engine start multiple times. The sum of the duration of the first scavenging operation after each start in the multiple starts is the first preset duration t1. The duration of the first scavenging operation after each start of the starter does not exceed the first threshold. This can avoid the starter from running too long for a single time, effectively avoid the starter from overheating due to a single running time being too long. The interval between two adjacent starts can be set according to actual application needs, for example, it can be set to 3s or other durations, so that the starter can be started again after cooling down. In addition, after each start of the starter, the sensor detection data can be called to perform a cleaning strategy test. If the test result shows that the current cleaning strategy is not suitable, the current cleaning strategy can be adjusted. The first threshold can be pre-set according to actual needs, for example, it can be set to 12s or other durations.

[0063] The relationship between the first preset time t1 and the first gas moisture content δ can be obtained by fitting historical data. In an example, the fitting curve of the relationship is as follows: Figure 3 shown.

[0064] In some embodiments, when the first gas moisture content is less than the first preset value, the gas moisture content of the exhaust system meets the rust prevention requirement, and the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be powered off, and the starter of the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be powered off.

[0065] The execution subject of the scavenging control method of the hydrogen internal combustion engine in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the automobile electronic control unit ECU.

[0066] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in other embodiments, in order to further reduce the water content of the gas inside the hydrogen internal combustion engine, the control method may also include:

[0067] S40. According to the first gas water content being less than a first preset value, obtaining a second gas water content in a first component of the hydrogen internal combustion engine.

[0068] The hydrogen internal combustion engine includes multiple components such as an exhaust system, a crankcase and a cylinder. The first component is a component of the hydrogen internal combustion engine other than the exhaust system. For example, the first component may include a crankcase or a cylinder or other components. Taking the crankcase as an example, the second gas water content in the crankcase of the hydrogen internal combustion engine is obtained to facilitate the subsequent further reduction of the gas water content in the crankcase.

[0069] In some embodiments, obtaining the water content of the second gas in the first component of the hydrogen internal combustion engine may be obtaining the water content of the second gas in the crankcase, or may be obtaining the water content of the second gas in the cylinder. The pressure and temperature in the crankcase are relatively low, and compared with arranging the sensor in the cylinder, arranging the sensor in the crankcase helps to extend the service life of the sensor.

[0070] In some embodiments, obtaining the second gas water content in the first component of the hydrogen internal combustion engine may include: receiving the second gas water content detected by a second gas water content sensor, wherein the second gas water content sensor is disposed in the first component. For example, if the first component is a crankcase, the second gas water content sensor is disposed in the crankcase.

[0071] In another embodiment, a plurality of second gas water content sensors may be pre-installed in the crankcase of the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and after receiving the water content values ​​detected by the plurality of second gas water content sensors, the average of the water content values ​​is calculated, and the average is used as the second gas water content. In this way, the obtained second gas water content can more accurately reflect the gas water content in the crankcase.

[0072] Exemplarily, a first gas water content in the exhaust system is first acquired, and then when the first gas water content is less than a first preset value, a second gas water content in the crankcase is acquired.

[0073] S50. When the water content of the second gas is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, control the hydrogen internal combustion engine to perform a second scavenging operation.

[0074] Taking the crankcase as the first component as an example, the second gas moisture content is the gas moisture content of the crankcase. If the second gas moisture content is greater than or equal to the second preset threshold, it means that the gas moisture content in the crankcase is too high, which makes the crankcase prone to rust, so a second scavenging operation needs to be performed. Specifically, the starter of the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be controlled to drive the hydrogen internal combustion engine to perform the second scavenging operation.

[0075] S60: In response to the duration of the second scavenging operation reaching a second preset duration, returning to the step of obtaining a second gas moisture content in the first component.

[0076] The second preset duration may be equal to or different from the first preset duration. The second preset duration is also set to prevent the starter from overheating due to long working time. Taking the crankcase as the first component, when the duration of the second scavenging operation reaches the second preset duration, a large part of the exhaust gas with a high water content in the hydrogen internal combustion engine is discharged again. At this time, the step of obtaining the second gas water content in the crankcase of the hydrogen internal combustion engine is returned and executed in a loop until the second gas water content is less than the second preset value, and then subsequent operations are performed.

[0077] For example, the second preset time length for the starter to perform the second scavenging operation is determined according to the second gas water content η in the crankcase detected by the sensor, wherein the relationship between the second preset time length t2 and the second gas water content η is:

[0078] t2=-136η 2 +114η-11,

[0079] When 0<t2≤the first threshold, the control makes the hydrogen internal combustion engine start and perform the second scavenging operation until the second preset duration is reached. The whole process only needs to start the hydrogen internal combustion engine once; when t2>the first threshold, the control makes the hydrogen internal combustion engine start multiple times. The sum of the duration of the first scavenging operation after each start in the multiple starts is the second preset duration t2. The duration of the first scavenging operation after each start does not exceed the first threshold, which can avoid the starter from running too long for a single time, and effectively avoid the starter from overheating due to a single running time being too long. The interval between two adjacent starts can be set according to actual application needs, for example, it can be set to a duration of 3s, so that the starter can be started again after cooling down. The first threshold can be pre-set according to actual needs, for example, a duration of 12s. In addition, after each start of the starter, the sensor detection data can be called to perform a cleaning strategy test. If the test result shows that the current cleaning strategy is not suitable, the current cleaning strategy can be adjusted.

[0080] The relationship between the second preset time t2 and the second gas moisture content η can be obtained by fitting historical data. In an example, the fitting curve of the relationship is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0081] The strategy of first detecting the gas moisture content in the exhaust system and then detecting the gas moisture content in the crankcase can shorten the discharge time of the high-water-content gas in the cylinder and reduce the number of starts and working time of the starter.

[0082] In some implementations, the control method may further include:

[0083] S70: Controlling the hydrogen internal combustion engine to power off according to the water content of the second gas being less than a second preset threshold.

[0084] Since the first gas water content is detected before each detection of the second gas water content and the first gas water content is less than the first preset value, when the second gas water content is less than the second preset threshold, the first gas water content is also less than the first preset value, which means that after the scavenging operation, the internal gas water content of the hydrogen internal combustion engine has reached the rust prevention requirement, that is, the starter can be controlled to shut down, the hydrogen internal combustion engine can be controlled to power off, and the entire vehicle can be powered off.

[0085] In some embodiments, the gas moisture content detection can continue to be performed on other parts inside the hydrogen internal combustion engine, and a scavenging operation can be performed when the gas moisture content does not meet the rust prevention requirements, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] The above description of various embodiments tends to emphasize the differences between the various embodiments. The same or similar aspects can be referenced to each other, and for the sake of brevity, they will not be repeated herein.

[0087] refer to Figure 6 As shown, a specific example of a scavenging control method, the specific process may include the following steps:

[0088] 1) Multiple gas water content sensors are arranged in the crankcase of the hydrogen internal combustion engine and in the turbocharger volute, exhaust manifold and exhaust tail pipe of the exhaust system.

[0089] 2) When a normally operating hydrogen internal combustion engine receives a stop command, the hydrogen supply valve is closed.

[0090] 3) After the hydrogen rail pressure continues to decrease, the hydrogen injection valve cannot be opened, the in-cylinder injection action cannot be completed, and the internal combustion engine is shut down. At this time, the fuel in the hydrogen supply pipeline is consumed, preventing the risk of leakage in the later stage.

[0091] 4) After the internal combustion engine is turned off, the water content δ of the gas in the exhaust system is detected.

[0092] a) If the gas moisture content δ<A, continue to execute the next work instruction.

[0093] The value of A may be, for example, 0.05, 0.03, 0.04, 0.06, 0.07, etc., and may be specifically selected according to the type of hydrogen internal combustion engine, differences in material technology, etc.

[0094] b) If the gas water content δ≥A, the starter of the internal combustion engine is controlled to start. The starter is meshed with the flywheel ring gear of the internal combustion engine. At this time, the hydrogen injection valve is in a closed state and no hydrogen fuel is injected. The starter drags the crank-connecting rod mechanism of the internal combustion engine to rotate, and the piston moves upward to enter the exhaust working cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of clearing the high water content exhaust gas in the cylinder. In order to prevent the starter from overheating, the dragging time is set not to exceed the preset time.

[0095] The preset time length may be set according to experimental data or empirical data. A specific example of the preset time length may be 12 seconds.

[0096] For example, the starter operation time t1 can be determined according to the gas moisture content δ in the exhaust system, wherein the relationship between the starter engine scavenging time t1 and the gas moisture content δ is:

[0097] t1=-57δ 2 +72δ-9,

[0098] When 0<t1≤first threshold, the starter only needs to be started once; when t1>first threshold, it needs to be started multiple times, and the running time of the starter after each start does not exceed the first threshold. The interval between two adjacent starts can be set according to actual application needs, for example, it can be set to 3s. In addition, after each start of the starter, the sensor detection data can be called to test the cleaning strategy. If the test result shows that the current cleaning strategy is not suitable, the current cleaning strategy can be adjusted.

[0099] After the starter completes the scavenging in the cylinder of one working cycle, the water content δ is continuously detected by the gas water content sensor in the exhaust system and the process is executed cyclically until the condition of δ<A is reached and the next working step is entered.

[0100] 5) If the water content of the gas in the exhaust system δ<A, the water content η in the crankcase is detected.

[0101] a) If the gas moisture content η<B, continue to execute the next work instruction.

[0102] When detecting the water content of the gas in the crankcase, different B values ​​are taken according to the differences in the model and material process of the hydrogen internal combustion engine. For example, B can be 0.10, 0.08, 0.2, 0.3, etc.

[0103] b) If the gas water content η ≥ B, the starter of the internal combustion engine is started, and the starter is meshed with the flywheel gear ring of the internal combustion engine. At this time, the hydrogen injection valve is in a closed state and will not inject hydrogen fuel, dragging the crank-connecting rod mechanism of the internal combustion engine to rotate, and the piston moves upward to enter the exhaust working cycle, so as to achieve the purpose of sweeping the high water content exhaust gas in the cylinder. To prevent the starter from overheating, the dragging time is set not to exceed the preset time. A specific example of the preset time is, for example, 12s. After the scavenging operation of a working cycle of the starter is completed, the gas water content sensor arranged in the crankcase continues to detect the gas water content η, and executes it cyclically until the condition of η<B is met to enter the next working stage.

[0104] The working time of the starter is determined according to the gas moisture content η detected by the sensor in the crankcase, where the relationship between the starter drag engine scavenging time t2 and the gas moisture content η is:

[0105] t2=-136η 2 +114η-11,

[0106] When 0<t1≤first threshold, the starter only needs to be started once; when t1>first threshold, it needs to be started multiple times, and the running time of the starter after each start does not exceed the first threshold. The interval between two adjacent starts can be set according to actual application needs, for example, it can be set to 3s or other time. The first threshold is, for example, 12s. In addition, the sensor detection data can be called after each starter is started, and the cleaning strategy is tested according to the called sensor detection data. If the test result shows that the current cleaning strategy is not suitable, the current cleaning strategy can be adjusted.

[0107] 6) When the gas moisture content η in the crankcase is less than B, the gas moisture content in the crankcase is within the anti-corrosion safety limit, the internal combustion engine is powered off, and the shutdown command is completed.

[0108] In the above text, A represents the gas moisture content threshold for rust risk control in the exhaust system, and B represents the gas moisture content threshold for rust risk control in the crankcase, which are obtained through reliability tests. Different materials and anti-rust coatings will have different thresholds.

[0109] Hydrogen internal combustion engines are important zero-carbon power sources. In order to solve the problem of high water content in the exhaust system and crankcase of hydrogen internal combustion engines, which leads to easy rust, this example uses scavenging to reduce the water content of the gas in the exhaust system and crankcase to reduce the incidence of rust. The scavenging control method of this example discharges the high-water content exhaust gas, and reduces the water content of the gas in the exhaust system and crankcase by scavenging, thereby greatly reducing the probability of rust in the hydrogen internal combustion engine. In this example, the strategy of first detecting the water content of the gas in the exhaust system and then detecting the water content of the gas in the crankcase is adopted, which can shorten the discharge time of the high-water content gas in the cylinder and reduce the number of starts and working time of the starter.
