Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic circuit design, and specifically to an engine brake valve drive circuit and a shutdown implementation method, device, and medium. Background Art

[0002] Existing engine brake valve drive circuits generally use an MCU (Microcontroller Unit) to control a pre-driver chip to drive a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). Four groups of engine brake valves share a high-side control, and the low-side is independently controlled.

[0003] The existing engine brake valve drive circuit has a single shutdown path. When the engine brake valve needs to be shut off, the MCU sends a shutdown command, which then shuts off the MOSFET through the pre-driver chip. If any component in the engine brake valve drive circuit (such as the main control chip or pre-driver chip) fails and becomes uncontrolled, the engine brake valve may not be shut off, causing unintended vehicle deceleration, violating vehicle functional safety principles, and posing a potential risk of injury to the driver and road users.

[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the implementation methods of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] On the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an engine brake valve drive circuit, which ensures that when any component in the engine brake valve drive circuit fails and becomes uncontrolled through multi-layer shutdown path design with different priorities, the injection system will not be without drive through different levels of shutdown methods, and different pre-driver chips are used on the high and low sides to ensure that the system will not suffer common cause failure.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the engine brake valve drive circuit of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the engine brake valve drive circuit includes a pre-drive chip, a main control chip, and a power supply chip.

[0043] The pre-driver chip includes a first pre-driver chip for connecting to the master MOSFET on the engine brake valve, and a second pre-driver chip connected to the corresponding sub-MOSFETs of each engine brake valve. There are multiple engine brake valves, each connected to a corresponding sub-MOSFET. All sub-MOSFETs are connected to the second pre-driver chip, and all engine brake valves are connected to the first pre-driver chip. The master MOSFET corresponds to high-side control, while the sub-MOSFETs correspond to low-side control.

[0044] The main control chip includes a safety core and a functional core that are both connected to the first pre-driver chip to achieve high-side control, and a logic judgment component is provided between the safety core and the functional core and the first pre-driver chip, and the functional core is also connected to the second pre-driver chip to achieve low-side control. That is, for the logic judgment component, one end is connected to the safety core and the functional core, and the other end is connected to the first pre-driver chip. At the same time, the functional core is also connected to the second pre-driver chip. That is, the present application adopts a multi-layer shutdown path design with different priorities through high-side control design, low-side control design, and high-side power supply control design to ensure that when any component in the engine brake valve drive circuit fails and is uncontrolled, the injection system can be ensured to be undriven through different levels of shutdown methods, thereby avoiding unexpected deceleration of the vehicle and effectively ensuring vehicle driving safety. Different pre-driver chips are used for the high and low sides to ensure that the system will not suffer common cause failures.

[0045] The power chip and the safety core are both connected to the main power switch corresponding to the main MOSFET to achieve on / off control of the main power switch. In other words, both the power chip and the safety core can send control signals to the main power switch, thereby achieving on / off control of the main power switch.

[0046] Specifically, one end of the logic judgment component is connected to the safety core and the functional core, and the other end is connected to the total MOSFET on the engine brake valve; the logic judgment component is used to judge the consistency of the control signals output by the safety core and the functional core, and when they are consistent, the control signal is sent to the first pre-driver chip to drive the first pre-driver chip.

[0047] That is, the safety core and functional core of the main control chip work together to achieve high-side control. The main control chip outputs a signal through the safety core and functional core respectively to the AND logic judgment component. After the "AND" logic judgment, the signal is input to the first pre-driver chip for control. In the AND logic judgment component, if the control signals of the safety core and the functional core are inconsistent, the control signal will not send a drive instruction to the first pre-driver chip. This effectively prevents the uncontrolled sending of drive instructions to the first pre-driver chip when the main control chip's functional core experiences an abnormality.

[0048] Furthermore, the power chip includes a safety management unit, which is electrically connected to the main power switch to enable on / off control of the main power switch. The engine brake valve drive circuit also includes a power supply, which is connected to both the power chip and the main MOSFET. The main power switch is positioned between the power supply and the main MOSFET. In actual applications, the power supply is a 24V power supply. One end of the main power switch is connected to the power supply, and the other end is connected to the main MOSFET, thereby enabling the power supply to supply the main MOSFET. The power supply is also connected to the power chip to provide power to the power chip.

[0049] Furthermore, the engine brake valves include multiple valves, each of which has one end connected to a master MOSFET and the other end connected to a sub-MOSFET. Each of the sub-MOSFETs is connected to a second pre-driver chip. In actual applications, there may be four engine brake valves. For each engine brake valve, one end is connected to the master MOSFET and the other end is connected to its corresponding sub-MOSFET.

[0050] The functional core in this application can realize low-side control by acting alone. The main control chip sends instructions to the second pre-driver chip through the functional core to perform low-side control, thereby driving the low-side MOSFET of each engine brake valve.

[0051] The safety management unit or safety core in this application can realize high-side power supply control alone. The safety management unit in the power chip and the safety core of the main control chip each lead out a signal line to the main power switch. Both the safety management unit and the safety core can turn off the main power switch. When the other shutdown paths are unable to turn off the engine brake valve, the system's 24V high-side power supply can be cut off through these two signal lines, causing the engine brake valve to stop working.

[0052] Therefore, for the engine brake valve drive circuit of the present application, when a fault occurs in the engine brake valve drive circuit, its shut-off path includes:

[0053] 1. Shutdown at the actuator level. When a safety-related fault is detected, the main control chip controls the pre-driver chip to shut down the safety-related actuator, putting the system into a safe state without violating the safety goal of the engine braking system to avoid unexpected deceleration;

[0054] 2. Directly cut off the 24V power supply through the main control chip or power chip, shut down the power supply to all actuators, and put the system into a safe state without violating the safety goal of the engine braking system to avoid unexpected deceleration.

[0055] The specific shutdown implementation steps are divided into three layers. The higher priority shutdown method is used first. When the higher priority shutdown method cannot be effectively shut down, the lower priority shutdown path is used for shutdown. The priority classification of the shutdown method is shown in Table 1 below.

[0056] Table 1

[0057]

[0058] Specifically, when the engine brake valve needs to be shut down, the functional core of the main control chip outputs a shut-down instruction to the second pre-driver chip, and the second pre-driver chip selectively shuts down the low side of the corresponding engine brake valve according to the shut-down instruction;

[0059] When the functional core controls the second pre-driver chip to realize the low-side shutdown of the corresponding engine brake valve, if the engine brake valve is not successfully closed, the main control chip outputs a low level through the safety core, causing the AND logic judgment component to output a low level to control the first pre-driver chip to shut down the high side of the engine brake valve;

[0060] When the safety core controls the first pre-driver chip to realize high-side shutdown of the engine brake valve, if the engine brake valve is not closed successfully, the power chip or the safety core inputs a control signal to turn off the main power switch.

[0061] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for implementing the shutdown of an engine brake valve drive circuit, which is used to perform shutdown control on the engine brake valve drive circuit described above.

[0062] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the method for shutting down the engine brake valve drive circuit of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the method for shutting down the engine brake valve drive circuit includes:

[0063] S1: Real-time detection of the engine brake valve operating status to determine whether the engine brake valve needs to be shut off. If yes, go to S2; if not, go to S3;

[0064] S2: execute shutdown control logic;

[0065] S3: no treatment;

[0066] Among them, the shutdown control logic is to control the second pre-driver chip based on the functional core to realize the low-side shutdown of the corresponding engine brake valve, or to control the first pre-driver chip based on the safety core to realize the high-side shutdown of the engine brake valve, or to control the shutdown of the main power switch based on the power chip or the safety core.

[0067] It should be noted that the engine brake valve drive circuit in the second aspect includes a pre-driver chip, a main control chip, and a power supply chip. The pre-driver chip includes a first pre-driver chip for connecting to the main MOSFET on the engine brake valve, and a second pre-driver chip connected to the sub-MOSFET corresponding to each engine brake valve. There are multiple engine brake valves, and each engine brake valve is connected to a sub-MOSFET. All sub-MOSFETs are connected to the second pre-driver chip, and all engine brake valves are connected to the first pre-driver chip. For the main MOSFET, it corresponds to high-side control, and for the sub-MOSFET, it corresponds to low-side control.

[0068] The main control chip includes a safety core and a functional core, both connected to the first pre-driver chip for high-side control. A logic judgment component is provided between the safety core and the functional core and the first pre-driver chip, and the functional core is also connected to the second pre-driver chip for low-side control. That is, the logic judgment component has one end connected to the safety core and the functional core, and the other end connected to the first pre-driver chip. The functional core is also connected to the second pre-driver chip. The power chip and the safety core are both connected to the main power switch corresponding to the main MOSFET to achieve on-off control of the main power switch. In other words, both the power chip and the safety core can send control signals to the main power switch, thereby achieving on-off control of the main power switch.

[0069] Furthermore, one end of the logic judgment component is connected to the safety core and the functional core, and the other end is connected to the main MOSFET on the engine brake valve; the logic judgment component is used to judge the consistency of the control signals output by the safety core and the functional core, and when consistent, the control signal is sent to the first pre-driver chip to drive the first pre-driver chip. The power chip includes a safety management unit; the safety management unit is electrically connected to the main power switch to achieve on-off control of the main power switch. The engine brake valve drive circuit also includes a power supply, which is connected to both the power chip and the main MOSFET; the main power switch is arranged between the power supply and the main MOSFET. The engine brake valve includes multiple, and one end of each of the multiple engine brake valves is connected to the main MOSFET, and the other end is respectively connected to a sub-MOSFET, and the sub-MOSFETs are all connected to the second pre-driver chip.

[0070] In this application, the execution priority of controlling the second pre-driver chip based on the functional core to realize the low-side shutdown of the corresponding engine brake valve is greater than that of controlling the first pre-driver chip based on the safety core to realize the high-side shutdown of the engine brake valve;

[0071] The execution priority of the high-side shutdown of the engine brake valve achieved by controlling the first pre-driver chip based on the safety core is higher than the shutdown of the main power switch based on the power chip or the safety core.

[0072] In this application, the specific execution logic for the shutdown control logic is:

[0073] When the engine brake valve needs to be shut down, the functional core of the main control chip outputs a shut-down instruction to the second pre-driver chip, and the second pre-driver chip selectively shuts down the low side of the corresponding engine brake valve according to the shut-down instruction;

[0074] When the functional core controls the second pre-driver chip to realize the low-side shutdown of the corresponding engine brake valve, if the engine brake valve is not successfully closed, the main control chip outputs a low level through the safety core, causing the AND logic judgment component to output a low level to control the first pre-driver chip to shut down the high side of the engine brake valve;

[0075] When the safety core controls the first pre-driver chip to realize high-side shutdown of the engine brake valve, if the engine brake valve is not closed successfully, the power chip or the safety core inputs a control signal to turn off the main power switch.

[0076] Regarding the above description, specifically, when a fault occurs in the engine brake valve drive circuit, it is shut down at the actuator level. When a safety-related fault is monitored, the main control chip controls the pre-driver chip to shut down the safety-related actuator, so that the system enters a safe state, without violating the safety goal of the engine braking system to avoid unexpected deceleration; or the main control chip or power chip directly cuts off the power supply of the 24V power supply, shuts off the power supply of all actuators, and puts the system into a safe state, without violating the safety goal of the engine braking system to avoid unexpected deceleration.

[0077] The following is a detailed description of the execution process of the method for shutting down the engine brake valve drive circuit of the present application.

[0078] When it is detected that the engine brake valve has malfunctioned and the engine brake valve needs to be shut down, the functional core of the main control chip first outputs a shutdown instruction to the second pre-driver chip. The second pre-driver chip selectively shuts off the low side of the corresponding engine brake valve according to the shutdown instruction. After the shutdown instruction is executed, if no malfunction of the engine brake valve is detected, the process ends. If malfunction of the engine brake valve is still detected, the main control chip outputs a low level through the safety core, causing the logic judgment component to output a low level to control the first pre-driver chip to shut off the high side of the engine brake valve. At this time, all engine brake valves are controlled to be shut down at the same time. After the control is executed, if no malfunction of the engine brake valve is detected, the process ends. If malfunction of the engine brake valve is still detected, the power chip or the safety core inputs a control signal to shut off the main power switch, cutting off all drive outputs.

[0079] The method for implementing the shutdown of the engine brake valve drive circuit in the embodiment of the present application adopts a multi-layer shutdown path design with different priorities through high-side control design, low-side control design, and high-side power supply control design to ensure that when any component in the engine brake valve drive circuit fails and is uncontrolled, different levels of shutdown methods can be used to ensure that the injection system will not be without drive, avoid unexpected deceleration of the vehicle, and effectively ensure vehicle driving safety. Different pre-driver chips are used for the high and low sides to ensure that the system will not suffer common cause failures.
