[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] It is to be understood that the terms "first", "second", and the like, used in the description and the claims of the present application as well as the above description of the drawings merely refer to structure which is different, and not necessarily to a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that the terms so used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are capable of operation in other sequences than those explicitly described or otherwise specifically referred to herein. Moreover, the terms "include", "have", and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or units are not necessarily limited to those steps or units specifically listed, but can include additional steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a method for fault positioning of engine starting failure is provided, comprising: a starting abnormality preliminary inspection stage, a fault identification stage, a processing and alarm stage, and a preventive self-inspection stage; the fault identification stage comprises:

[0022] S1 determining a fault cylinder according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value;

[0023] S2 judging whether the current fault is a valve timing fault according to the abnormal noise signal of the fault cylinder.

[0024] By setting the starting abnormality preliminary inspection stage, the fault identification stage, the processing and alarm stage, and the preventive self-inspection stage, the engine cylinder fault can be accurately judged. At the same time, the fault identification stage comprises determining a fault cylinder according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value, and judging whether the current fault is a valve timing fault according to the abnormal noise signal of the fault cylinder, which can further accurately judge whether there is a valve timing fault in the cylinder, and improve the judgment accuracy.

[0025] The preset pressure value can be set as the pressure when the engine starts normally under a preset working condition, for example, the normal pressure of the cylinder under a certain engine speed; in addition, a burst pressure sensor can be provided to obtain the pressure value.

[0026] For example, when the engine valve timing phase deviates, there can be several cases: the compression stroke valve is opened, at this time the cylinder pressure will be lower than the calibration value. The working stroke valve is opened, at this time the cylinder pressure will be lower than the calibration value. The exhaust stroke valve is closed, at this time the cylinder pressure will rise, but will still be lower than the calibration value, and the cylinder pressure curve should be a pressure drop end, which may become an ascending end. The intake stroke valve is closed, at this time the cylinder pressure is lower than the calibration value.

[0027] As an optional implementation, the determining the fault cylinder according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value comprises: calculating the difference between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value; and marking the cylinder with a difference greater than a preset proportion of the preset pressure value as the fault cylinder.

[0028] Specifically, the preset proportion can be 5%-15%, which can be selected according to actual requirements. By comparing the difference between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value, the accuracy of fault positioning can be further improved.

[0029] As an optional implementation, the determining the fault cylinder according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value comprises: calculating the difference between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value; and marking the cylinder with a difference greater than a preset proportion of the preset pressure value as the fault cylinder.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the starting abnormality preliminary detection stage comprises: if the engine fails to start for three times in succession, acquiring the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the abnormal noise signal, and automatically entering the fault identification stage.

[0031] As an optional implementation, the acquiring the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the abnormal noise signal comprises: acquiring the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the abnormal noise signal at an engine drag speed, wherein the engine drag speed is less than an engine ignition speed.

[0032] As an optional implementation, the prevention self-detection stage comprises: performing a drag detection for a preset time length after the vehicle is turned off, and determining whether each cylinder has a fault according to the actual pressure value in each cylinder.

[0033] As an optional implementation, the determining whether each cylinder has a fault according to the actual pressure value in each cylinder comprises: acquiring the actual pressure value in each cylinder multiple times within the preset time length; comparing the multiple actual pressure values in each cylinder with pressure baseline data of each cylinder; and determining whether each cylinder has a fault according to the comparison result of the multiple actual pressure values in each cylinder and the pressure baseline data of each cylinder.

[0034] Similarly, the drag detection can be automatically performed within 5-10 seconds after each time of extinguishing, and the actual pressure value is compared with the pressure baseline data of each cylinder, and the fault cylinder can be determined according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value: the actual pressure value in each cylinder is subtracted from the preset pressure value; the cylinder whose difference between the actual pressure value and the preset pressure value is greater than a preset proportion of the preset pressure value is marked as the fault cylinder.

[0035] As an optional implementation, the processing and alarming stage comprises: if the current fault is the valve timing fault, cutting off the fuel supply of the fault cylinder, adjusting the ignition sequence to skip the fault cylinder; and the instrument panel outputs a signal for representing the valve timing fault.

[0036] For example, for the air leakage fault: turning on the yellow warning light of the instrument panel, and the display screen prompts "X cylinder sealing abnormality"; for the phase error: activating the red warning light, and the buzzer emits a sharp alarm sound with an interval of 0.5 seconds; and performing the safety measure: automatically cutting off the fuel supply of the fault cylinder, and adjusting the ignition sequence to skip the fault cylinder.

[0037] According to still another aspect of the present application, there is provided an engine start failure fault positioning system, comprising: a fault cylinder determination module, configured to determine the fault cylinder according to the size relationship between the actual pressure value in each cylinder and the preset pressure value; and a fault judgment module, configured to judge whether the current fault is the valve timing fault according to the abnormal noise signal of the fault cylinder.
