Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an engine cooling system, control method, vehicle, and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements, engine thermal efficiency is continuously improving, placing higher demands on engine cooling systems. The system's water flow rate should meet the engine's cooling needs without being excessive, ensuring engine reliability while minimizing heat loss and water pump power loss caused by excessive flow. Components in the engine requiring cooling typically include the oil cooler, EGR cooler, cylinder head water jacket, engine block water jacket, EGR valve, air compressor, and turbocharger.
[0003] Currently, engine cooling systems generally use a single water pump to cool the various components that require cooling. These components are usually connected in series or parallel. However, since different components have different coolant flow requirements under different engine operating conditions, a single water pump has poor control flexibility, which can easily lead to heat loss and water pump power loss.
[0004] In response, related technologies propose using two water pumps in the engine cooling system to cool the aforementioned components that require cooling. When using two water pumps, the engine block water jacket, oil cooler, and EGR cooler, which have higher coolant flow requirements, are typically cooled by one water pump, while other components with lower coolant flow requirements, such as the cylinder head water jacket, are cooled by the other water pump. For example, the engine cooling system disclosed in the earlier patent application CN201610763725.5 includes a first water pump and a second water pump. In the water circulation of the first water pump, the oil cooler and engine block water jacket are connected in series and then in parallel with the EGR cooler. In the water circulation of the second water pump, the cylinder head water jacket and the heater are connected in series. Compared with an engine cooling system using a single water pump, the control flexibility of two water pumps is significantly improved. However, during cold starts, the coolant temperature in the first water pump's water circulation is raised by the heat from the engine block water jacket, while the coolant temperature in the second water pump's water circulation is raised by the cylinder head water body. The overall temperature increase efficiency of the coolant is low, and the oil cooler also hinders the rapid increase of coolant temperature in the first water pump's water circulation.
[0005] The information disclosed above in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of this background section, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0066] The present embodiment can be applied to the case of automatically controlling whether the vehicle is coasting, and the control method of the engine cooling system can be executed by an engine cooling system control device which can be realized by software and / or hardware and integrated in the vehicle.
[0067] The engine cooling system provided in the related art comprises a first water pump and a second water pump, wherein in the water circulation of the first water pump, an oil cooler and an engine block water jacket are connected in series, and then connected in parallel with an EGR cooler; in the water circulation of the second water pump, a cylinder head water jacket and a heater are connected in series; however, when the engine cooling system is started, the temperature of the coolant is raised by the heat of the engine block water jacket in the water circulation of the first water pump, and the temperature of the coolant is raised by the heat of the cylinder head water jacket in the water circulation of the second water pump, the temperature raising efficiency of the coolant as a whole is low, and the oil cooler in the water circulation of the first water pump also hinders the rapid raising of the temperature of the coolant.
[0068] To this end, the embodiment provides an engine cooling system to solve the above problems. The engine cooling system can be integrated in an engine to cool relevant parts during the operation of the engine.
[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The engine cooling system comprises a first cooling cycle and a second cooling cycle. The first cooling cycle comprises a first water pump 11, a first pipeline 12, a second pipeline 13, a first thermostat 14, an EGR cooler valve 15 and an EGR cooler 16 connected in series to the first pipeline 12, and an oil cooler valve 17 and an oil cooler 18 connected in series to the second pipeline 13. The input end of the first pipeline 12 and the input end of the second pipeline 13 are both in communication with the output end of the first water pump 11. The output end of the first pipeline 12 and the output end of the second pipeline 13 are both in communication with the input end of the first thermostat 14. The first thermostat 14 has a first outlet in communication with the input end of the first water pump 11. The second cooling cycle comprises a second water pump 21, a second thermostat 22, and a cylinder block water jacket 23 and a cylinder head water jacket 24 connected in series. The output end of the second water pump 21 is in communication with the input end of the cylinder block water jacket 23. The output end of the cylinder head water jacket 24 is in communication with the input end of the second thermostat 22. The second thermostat 22 has a first outlet in communication with the input end of the second water pump 21. The engine cooling system provided in the embodiment has the following advantages. The first water pump 11 only provides cooling liquid for the oil cooler 18 and the EGR cooler 16. The oil cooler 18 and the EGR cooler 16 are connected in parallel. The flow of the cooling liquid through the oil cooler 18 can be controlled by the oil cooler valve 17. The flow of the cooling liquid through the EGR cooler 16 can be controlled by the EGR cooler valve 15. The cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle can be controlled as a whole by adjusting the rotating speed of the first water pump 11. The control is flexible. The second water pump 21 provides cooling liquid for the cylinder block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24. When the engine is started, the cooling liquid in the second cooling cycle is sequentially exchanged with the cylinder block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24. The temperature of the cooling liquid can be quickly raised to meet the starting requirement in a cold environment. The cooling liquid in the second cooling cycle only accounts for a part of the whole cooling liquid. The temperature of the cooling liquid in the second cooling cycle can be further raised.
[0070] It should be noted that the first water pump 11 is an electronic water pump. The second water pump 21 can be an electronic water pump or a mechanical water pump according to actual requirements. Specifically, the second water pump 21 is a mechanical water pump in the embodiment. The first water pump 11 can work after the engine is started and can also work after the engine is stopped to avoid damage of the EGR cooler 16 and the oil cooler 18 due to excessive residual heat.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The engine cooling system further comprises a radiator 31, the first thermostat 14 further has a second outlet, the second thermostat 22 further has a second outlet, the second outlet and the second outlet are both in communication with an input end of the radiator 31, and an output end of the radiator 31 is in communication with the input end of the first water pump 11 and the input end of the second water pump 21 respectively. In this way, the first cooling cycle and the second cooling cycle share the radiator 31 simultaneously.
[0072] In other embodiments, the engine cooling system further comprises a first radiator and a second radiator, the first thermostat 14 further has a second outlet, the second thermostat 22 further has a second outlet, the second outlet is in communication with an input end of the first radiator, an output end of the first radiator is in communication with the input end of the first water pump 11, the second outlet is in communication with an input end of the second radiator, and an output end of the second radiator is in communication with the input end of the second water pump 21. In this way, the first cooling cycle uses the first radiator for heat dissipation, and the second cooling cycle uses the second radiator for heat dissipation.
[0073] When the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is lower than the set lower limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is low, and the heat dissipation needs of the oil cooler 18 and the EGR cooler 16 can be fully met, the first thermostat 14 is in the small cycle state, the input end of the first thermostat 14 is only in communication with the first outlet, so that the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle can directly flow back to the first water pump 11 without passing through the radiator 31; when the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is higher than the set lower limit temperature and does not exceed the set upper limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is moderate, and if the heat dissipation needs of the oil cooler 18 and the EGR cooler 16 are to be fully met, the cooling liquid needs to be cooled to a certain extent, at this time, the first thermostat 14 is in a state between the small cycle state and the large cycle state, the input end of the first thermostat 14 is in communication with the first outlet and the second outlet at the same time, so that part of the cooling liquid directly flows back to the first water pump 11, and another part of the cooling liquid needs to be cooled by the radiator 31 before flowing back to the first water pump 11; when the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is higher than the set upper limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the cooling liquid in the first cooling cycle is high, and if the heat dissipation needs of the oil cooler 18 and the EGR cooler 16 are to be fully met, the cooling liquid needs to be cooled to the maximum extent, the input end of the first thermostat 14 is only in communication with the second outlet, and the first thermostat 14 is in the large cycle state, so that the cooling liquid flows back to the first water pump 11 after being cooled by the radiator 31.
[0074] When the temperature in the second cooling cycle is lower than the set lower limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the coolant in the second cooling cycle is low and can fully meet the heat dissipation needs of the engine block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24 and other components, the second thermostat 22 is in a small cycle state, and the input end of the second thermostat 22 is only in communication with the first output port, so that the coolant in the second cooling cycle can directly flow back to the second water pump 21 without passing through the radiator 31; when the temperature of the coolant in the second cooling cycle is higher than the set lower limit temperature and does not exceed the set upper limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the coolant in the second cooling cycle is moderate, and if the heat dissipation needs of the engine block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24 and other components are to be fully met, the coolant also needs to be cooled to a certain extent, at this time the second thermostat 22 is in a state between the small cycle state and the large cycle state, the input end of the second thermostat 22 is in communication with the first output port and the second output port at the same time, so that part of the coolant directly flows back to the second water pump 21, and another part of the coolant needs to be cooled after passing through the radiator 31 and then flows back to the second water pump 21; when the temperature of the coolant in the second cooling cycle is higher than the set upper limit temperature, it indicates that the temperature of the coolant in the second cooling cycle is high, and if the heat dissipation needs of the engine block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24 are to be fully met, the coolant also needs to be cooled to the maximum extent, the input end of the second thermostat 22 is only in communication with the second output port, the second thermostat 22 is in a large cycle state, so that the coolant flows back to the second water pump 21 after being cooled by the radiator 31.
[0075] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The engine cooling system further comprises an exhaust gas temperature sensor 32 for detecting the temperature of the exhaust gas after passing through the EGR cooler 16. The temperature of the exhaust gas after passing through the EGR cooler 16 is detected by the exhaust gas temperature sensor 32. Specifically, when the temperature of the exhaust gas is too high, the cooling effect of the EGR cooler 16 needs to be enhanced, for example, the opening of the EGR cooler valve 15 is increased and / or the rotating speed of the first water pump 11 is increased; when the temperature of the exhaust gas is too low, the rotating speed of the first water pump 11 can be reduced to reduce the power loss of the first water pump 11 under the condition that the cooling effect of the oil cooler 18 meets the use needs.
[0076] In an alternative embodiment, referring to Figure 1The engine cooling system further comprises an oil temperature sensor 33 for detecting the temperature of the oil after passing through the oil cooler 18. By detecting the temperature of the oil after passing through the oil cooler 18 via the oil temperature sensor 33, when the temperature of the oil is too high, the cooling effect of the oil cooler 18 needs to be enhanced, for example, by increasing the opening of the oil cooler valve 17 and / or increasing the rotation speed of the first water pump 11; when the temperature of the oil is too low, the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 can be reduced to reduce the power loss of the first water pump 11, while ensuring that the cooling effect of the EGR cooler 16 meets the use requirements.
[0077] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The second cooling cycle further comprises a cylinder block water gallery 25 connected in series between the output end of the second water pump 21 and the input end of the cylinder block water jacket 23. In this way, the cylinder block water gallery 25 can also be cooled by the second cooling cycle. The cylinder block water gallery 25 is used to cool each cylinder of the engine.
[0078] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The second cooling cycle further comprises a heater 26 connected in series between the input end of the second thermostat 22 and the input end of the second water pump 21. In this way, the heater 26 can also be heated by the second cooling cycle to make full use of the heat. In addition, since the cooling liquid in the second cooling cycle only accounts for a part of all the cooling liquid, and sequentially flows through the cylinder block water gallery 25, the cylinder block water jacket 23 and the cylinder head water jacket 24 with high temperatures, the temperature of the cooling liquid can be quickly raised, which helps to quickly raise the temperature of the heater 26 after starting the engine in a low temperature environment.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 2 The second cooling cycle further comprises a cylinder head outlet pipe 27 connected in series between the output end of the cylinder head water jacket 24 and the input end of the second thermostat 22.
[0080] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the second cooling cycle further comprises an EGR valve 28 connected in parallel with the cylinder head water jacket 24 and in series between the output end of the engine block water jacket 23 and the input end of the second thermostat 22. Specifically, in this embodiment, the input end of the EGR valve 28 is in communication with the output end of the engine block water jacket 23, and the output end of the EGR valve 28 is in communication with the cylinder head water outlet pipe 27. In this way, a portion of the coolant flowing out of the engine block water jacket 23 flows to the cylinder head water jacket 24, and another portion of the coolant flows to the EGR valve 28 and cools the EGR valve 28, making full use of the characteristics that the flow demand of the engine block water jacket 23 for the coolant is greater than the flow demand of the cylinder head water jacket 24 for the coolant, and the flow demand of the engine block water jacket 23 for the coolant is greater than the flow demand of the EGR valve 28 for the coolant, to avoid power loss of the second water pump 21. In other embodiments, the input end of the EGR valve 28 is in communication with the output end of the engine block water jacket 23, and the output end of the EGR valve 28 is in communication with the input end of the second thermostat 22.
[0081] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the second cooling cycle further comprises an accessory 29 connected in parallel with the cylinder head water jacket 24 and in series between the output end of the engine block water jacket 23 and the input end of the second water pump 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the accessory 29 comprises a supercharger and an air compressor arranged in series or in parallel. In this way, the coolant flowing out of the engine block water jacket 23 is divided into three portions, the first portion of the coolant flows to the cylinder head water jacket 24 to cool the cylinder head water jacket 24, the second portion of the coolant flows to the EGR valve 28 and cools the EGR valve 28, and the third portion flows to the accessory 29 and cools the accessory 29, making full use of the characteristics that the flow demand of the engine block water jacket 23 for the coolant is not less than the sum of the flow demand of the cylinder head water jacket 24 for the coolant, the flow demand of the EGR valve 28 for the coolant, and the flow demand of the accessory 29 for the coolant, to further avoid power waste of the second water pump 21. In other embodiments of this embodiment, the accessory 29 can also be other components on the engine that need to be cooled by the coolant.
[0082] The present embodiment also provides a control method of an engine cooling system, which is implemented by the engine cooling system in the above-mentioned solution. The control method is suitable for accurately controlling the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 and the oil cooler 18 in the engine cooling system, and can reduce the amount of coolant required, thereby avoiding heat loss and power loss of the first water pump 11. The control method of the engine cooling system can be executed by an engine cooling system control device, which can be realized by software and / or hardware and integrated in a vehicle.
[0083] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the control method of the engine cooling system comprises the following steps:
[0084] S100: acquiring the temperature T of the exhaust gas flowing through the EGR cooler 16 in real time 11 , and the temperature T of the engine oil flowing through the engine oil cooler 18 21 .
[0085] The temperature of the exhaust gas flowing through the EGR cooler 16 can be detected by the exhaust gas temperature sensor 32, and the temperature of the engine oil flowing through the engine oil cooler 18 can be detected by the engine oil temperature sensor 33.
[0086] In the embodiment, the step of acquiring the temperature T of the exhaust gas flowing through the EGR cooler 16 and the temperature T of the engine oil flowing through the engine oil cooler 18 is performed every unit time, and the unit time can be set according to actual needs, for example, 1 millisecond, etc., so that the value of T 11 acquired at different times and the value of T 21 are different.
[0087] S110: comparing the size of T 11 and T 12 , and the size of T 21 and T 22 .
[0088] In the embodiment, T 12 is the first set temperature, and T 22 is the second set temperature. The size of T 12 and T 22 can be set according to actual needs. It can be understood that T 12 is the upper limit temperature threshold of the recirculated exhaust gas when the engine is normally working; and T 22 is the upper limit temperature threshold of the engine oil when the engine is normally working. When T 11 does not exceed T 12 , it indicates that the EGR cooler 16 can sufficiently cool the exhaust gas flowing therethrough at this time, and the temperature of the exhaust gas meets the requirements; when T 11 exceeds T 12 , it indicates that the cooling effect of the EGR cooler 16 is insufficient at this time, and the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 needs to be further improved; when T 21 does not exceed T 22 , it indicates that the engine oil cooler 18 can sufficiently cool the engine oil flowing therethrough at this time, and the temperature of the engine oil meets the requirements; when T 21 exceeds T 22 , it indicates that the cooling effect of the engine oil cooler 18 is insufficient at this time, and the cooling capacity of the engine oil cooler 18 needs to be further improved.
[0089] If T 11 exceeds T 12 , the ECU 20 controls the EGR cooler 16 to increase the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16.11 ≤ T 12 and T 21 > T 22 ; then S120 is executed;
[0090] S120: fully open the oil cooler valve 17.
[0091] By executing step S120, the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the oil cooler 18 can reach the maximum flow rate at the current first water pump 11 rotation speed, so that the cooling capacity of the oil cooler 18 is maximized, thereby effectively reducing the value of T 21 .
[0092] S130: gradually increase the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 on the current basis, and until T 21 ≤ T 22 or the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed V of the first water pump 11.
[0093] Through step S130, on the basis of fully opening the oil cooler valve 17, the flow rate of the coolant flowing through the oil cooler 18 can continue to increase, thereby further improving the cooling capacity of the oil cooler 18, so that the temperature of the oil flowing through the oil cooler 18 is reduced as soon as possible.
[0094] Specifically, step S130 includes the following steps.
[0095] S1310: increase the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 by a first set rotation speed, and obtain the current rotation speed V1 of the first water pump 11.
[0096] The first set rotation speed can be set according to actual needs.
[0097] It should be noted that after the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is increased by the first set rotation speed, if the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 exceeds its maximum rotation speed V, the first water pump 11 operates at its maximum rotation speed V.
[0098] S1320: compare the size of T 21 and T 22 and the size of V1 and V.
[0099] If T 21 ≤ T 22 or V1 = V, then S140 is executed; if T 21 > T 22 and V1 < V, then return to step S1310.
[0100] S140: gradually reduce the opening degree of the EGR cooler valve 15, and until T 11 = T 12Or the opening of the EGR cooler valve 15 is equal to zero, then return to step S110.
[0101] Specifically, step S140 includes the following steps.
[0102] S1410: Reduce the opening of the EGR cooler valve 15 by a first set opening, and obtain the current opening N1 of the EGR cooler valve 15.
[0103] Wherein, the first set opening can be set according to actual needs.
[0104] S1420: Compare the size of T 11 and T 12 , and the size of N1 and 0.
[0105] If T 11 =T 12 or N1=0, return to step S110; if T 11 <T 12 and N1≠0, return to step S1410.
[0106] Through step S140, the EGR cooler 16 can reduce the flow rate through the EGR cooler 16 while maintaining effective cooling of the exhaust gas flowing therethrough, and if the rotational speed of the first water pump 11 reaches its maximum rotational speed V in step S130, more coolant can flow through the oil cooler 18, thereby further improving the cooling effect of the oil cooler 18 on the oil. If T 21 ≤T 22 in step S130, the subsequent steps S180 to S210 can be entered in the next cycle to reduce the rotational speed of the first water pump 11 and reduce power loss (see below for details).
[0107] The control method of the engine cooling system provided by the embodiment acquires the temperature T 11 of the exhaust gas after flowing through the EGR cooler 16, and the temperature T 21 of the oil after flowing through the oil cooler 18 in real time, then compares the size of T 11 and T 12 , and the size of T 21 and T 22 , when T 11 ≤T 12 and T 21 >T 22 , the oil cooler valve 17 is fully opened, and then the rotational speed of the first water pump 11 is gradually increased on the current basis, and until T 21 ≤T 22or the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11, then the opening of the EGR cooler valve 15 is gradually reduced, and until T 11 =T 21 or the opening of the EGR cooler valve 15 is equal to zero, the cooling capacity of the oil cooler 18 can be enhanced, and the cooling liquid flow through the EGR cooler 16 is reduced under the condition that the cooling effect of the EGR cooler 16 meets the demand, and through the next cycle, more cooling liquid flows through the oil cooler 18 to further enhance the cooling capacity of the oil cooler 18 under the condition that the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 reaches its maximum rotation speed. The control method of the engine cooling system realizes flexible control of the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 and the oil cooler 18, and can realize accurate distribution of the cooling liquid between the EGR cooler 16 and the oil cooler 18, reduce the demand for the amount of cooling liquid, avoid heat loss and waste of power of the first water pump 11, and ensure the thermal efficiency of the engine.
[0108] In an optional embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in step S110, if T 11 >T 12 and T 21 ≤T 22 , S150 is executed.
[0109] S150: fully open the EGR cooler valve 15.
[0110] By executing step S150, the flow of cooling liquid through the EGR cooler 16 can reach the maximum flow under the current rotation speed of the first water pump 11, so that the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 can be enhanced to the maximum, thereby effectively reducing the value of T 11 .
[0111] S160: gradually increase the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 on the current basis, and until T 11 ≤T 12 or the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11.
[0112] Through step S160, on the basis of fully opening the EGR cooler valve 15, the flow of cooling liquid through the EGR cooler 16 can continue to increase, thereby further enhancing the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 to quickly reduce the temperature of the oil flowing through the EGR cooler 16.
[0113] Specifically, step S160 includes the following steps.
[0114] S1610: increase the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 by a second set rotation speed, and obtain the current rotation speed V1 of the first water pump 11.
[0115] The second set rotation speed can be set according to actual needs.
[0116] It should be noted that if the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is increased by the second set rotation speed and the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 exceeds its maximum rotation speed V, the first water pump 11 operates at its maximum rotation speed V.
[0117] S1620: Compare T 11 and T 12 , and compare V1 and V.
[0118] If T 11 =T 12 or V1=V, execute S170; if T 11 >T 12 and V1
[0119] S170: Gradually reduce the opening of the oil cooler valve 17 until T 21 =T 22 or the opening of the oil cooler valve 17 is equal to zero, and then return to step S110.
[0120] Specifically, step S170 includes the following steps.
[0121] S1710: Reduce the opening of the oil cooler valve 17 by a second set opening, and obtain the current opening N2 of the oil cooler valve 17.
[0122] The second set opening can be set according to actual needs.
[0123] S1720: Compare T 21 and T 22 , and compare N2 and 0.
[0124] If T 21 =T 22 or N2=0, return to step S110; if T 21 22 and N2≠0, return to step S1710.
[0125] Through step S170, the oil cooler 18 can reduce the flow rate through the oil cooler 18 while maintaining effective cooling of the oil flowing therethrough. If the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 reaches its maximum rotation speed V in step S160, more coolant can flow through the EGR cooler 16, thereby further improving the cooling effect of the EGR cooler 16 on the EGR. If T 11 =T 12 Then, in the next cycle, the subsequent steps S180 to S210 can be entered to reduce the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 and reduce the power loss (see below for details).
[0126] The control method of the engine cooling system provided by the embodiment can obtain the temperature T 11 of the exhaust gas flowing through the EGR cooler 16 and the temperature T 21 of the engine oil flowing through the engine oil cooler 18 in real time 11 , compare the size of T 12 and T 21 , and compare the size of T 22 and T 11 . When T 12 > T 21 and T 22 ≤ T 11 , the EGR cooler valve 15 is fully opened, and then the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is gradually increased on the basis of the current rotation speed and is increased until T 12 ≤ T 21 or the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11, and then the opening degree of the engine oil cooler valve 17 is gradually reduced and is reduced until T 22 = T 11 or the opening degree of the engine oil cooler valve 17 is equal to zero. In this way, the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 can be enhanced, and the cooling liquid flow rate through the engine oil cooler 18 can be reduced under the condition that the cooling effect of the engine oil cooler 18 meets the demand. When the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 reaches the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11, more cooling liquid flows through the EGR cooler 16 through the next cycle, so as to further improve the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16. The control method of the engine cooling system can flexibly control the cooling capacity of the EGR cooler 16 and the engine oil cooler 18, accurately distribute the cooling liquid between the EGR cooler 16 and the engine oil cooler 18, reduce the demand for the amount of cooling liquid, avoid heat loss and power loss of the first water pump 11, and ensure the thermal efficiency of the engine.
[0127] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 , in step S110, if T 11 ≤ T 12 and T 21 ≤ T 22 , S180 is executed.
[0128] S180: The EGR cooler valve 15 is fully opened, and the engine oil cooler valve 17 is fully opened.
[0129] Through step S180, the cooling liquid pumped by the first water pump 11 can flow through the EGR cooler 16 and the engine oil cooler 18 in the maximum amount.
[0130] S190: determining whether the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is zero.
[0131] If yes, S200 is executed; if no, S210 is executed.
[0132] S200: keeping the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 unchanged, and then returning to step S110.
[0133] When the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is zero, it indicates that the engine is in the process of warming up, and the temperature of the engine is relatively low. By setting the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 to zero, the temperature of the engine oil can be quickly raised to ensure the normal operation of the engine. For example, in the case of low ambient temperature, the actual temperature of the engine oil is far lower than the temperature required for the normal operation of the engine. By setting the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 to zero, the temperature of the engine oil can be quickly raised to the level required for the normal operation of the engine.
[0134] S210: reducing the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 by a first preset value, and then returning to step S110.
[0135] The first preset value can be set according to actual needs.
[0136] When the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is not reduced to zero, by repeating steps S180 to S210, the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 can be reduced to the minimum under the condition that T 11 ≤ T 12 and T 21 ≤ T 22 , thereby reducing the power loss.
[0137] In an optional embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 In step S110, if T 11 > T 12 and T 21 > T 22 , S220 is executed.
[0138] S220: fully opening the EGR cooler valve 15 and fully opening the engine oil cooler valve 17.
[0139] S230: determining whether the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11.
[0140] If yes, S240 is executed; if no, S250 is executed.
[0141] S240: keeping the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 unchanged, and then returning to step S110.
[0142] When the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is equal to the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11, it indicates that the engine overall temperature is too high at this time, and the first water pump 11 should be maintained to run at the maximum rotation speed.
[0143] S250: increase the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 by a second preset value, and then return to step S110.
[0144] The second preset value can be set according to actual needs.
[0145] When the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 is less than the maximum rotation speed of the first water pump 11, it indicates that the current rotation speed of the first water pump 11 cannot match the demand of the engine oil and exhaust gas for refrigeration, and the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 should be continuously increased. Through the circulation of steps S220 to S250, the rotation speed of the first water pump 11 can be gradually increased until T 11 >T 12 and T 21 >T 22 , and the cooling of the exhaust gas and the oil can meet the demand of the engine. 11 ≤T 12 and T 21 ≤T 22 .
