Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular to a fuel cell engine control method and device based on an inertial measurement sensor. Background Art
[0002] With the development of autonomous driving technology, driverless vehicles are becoming more and more common.
[0003] Inertial measurement sensors (IMUs) are commonly installed in current traditional vehicles to monitor the vehicle's position information offline and the vehicle's real-time status during operation, such as acceleration and deceleration, uphill and downhill driving, and turning.
[0004] When used in autonomous vehicles, fuel cell engines offer advantages such as high power generation efficiency, low environmental pollution, high specific energy, and low noise. However, these engines are sensitive to the vehicle's operating state, and varying vehicle operating conditions can have a certain degree of impact on system operation. Currently, there is no effective control solution for adjusting fuel cell engines based on real-time signals from inertial measurement sensors on the vehicle. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above analysis, the embodiments of the present invention aim to provide a fuel cell engine control method and device based on an inertial measurement sensor to solve the problem that the prior art does not consider the impact of the vehicle operating state on the fuel cell engine state, resulting in poor control accuracy.
[0006] In one aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides a fuel cell engine control method based on an inertial measurement sensor, comprising the following steps:
[0007] S1. Deploy an inertial measurement sensor on a vehicle equipped with a fuel cell engine;
[0008] S2 starts the fuel cell engine, obtains data collected by the inertial measurement sensor in the vehicle running state, and obtains the real-time operating status indicator of the vehicle;
[0009] S3 obtains the current state and control signal of the fuel cell engine, and optimizes the coupling of the control signal based on the real-time operating status of the vehicle in combination with the current state of the engine;
[0010] S4. Control the operating state of the fuel cell engine at the next moment according to the control signal after coupling optimization.
[0011] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: It proposes an optimized fuel cell engine control method that monitors the vehicle's real-time operating status by analyzing data from the vehicle's inertial measurement unit (IMU). This signal is then used to optimize the coupling of the fuel cell engine's control signals for more effective control, eliminating the impact of different vehicle operating conditions on the fuel cell engine, such as acceleration and deceleration, uphill and downhill driving, and cornering. Compared to existing control solutions, this method significantly improves the control accuracy and speed of the fuel cell engine, thereby effectively enhancing the user experience.
[0012] Based on a further improvement of the above method, in step S2, the data collected by the inertial measurement sensor includes at least one of the vehicle's three-axis attitude angle, angular rate, and acceleration; and
[0013] The real-time operating status indicator of the vehicle includes at least one of the vehicle's inclination, acceleration / deceleration, and load weight information.
[0014] Furthermore, in step S3, the current state of the fuel cell engine includes at least one of the flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the hydrogen gas and air entering the stack, and the stack temperature.
[0015] Further, the step S2 is refined as follows:
[0016] S21. Start the fuel cell engine and run the vehicle;
[0017] S22. When the vehicle is in operation, start the inertial measurement sensor and identify whether the inertial measurement sensor is working properly. If so, execute the next step; otherwise, turn off the inertial measurement sensor;
[0018] S23. Regularly obtain the CAN signal collected by the inertial measurement sensor, extract the vehicle's three-axis attitude angle, angular rate, acceleration contained in the signal, and obtain the vehicle's position coordinates and ambient temperature;
[0019] S24. Based on the above-mentioned three-axis attitude angle, angular rate, and acceleration of the whole vehicle, combined with the position coordinates and ambient temperature of the vehicle, the vehicle's inclination, acceleration and deceleration, and load weight information are obtained.
[0020] Further, the step S3 is refined as follows:
[0021] S31 obtains indicators representing the current state of the fuel cell engine, including the flow rate, temperature, pressure of hydrogen and air into the stack, and the stack temperature;
[0022] S32 obtains the fuel cell engine control signal, including the air compressor control signal, the hydrogen injection device control signal, the control valve control signal, and obtains the amplitude, frequency and duty cycle of each of the control signals;
[0023] S33. The vehicle's inclination, acceleration and deceleration, load weight information, indicators characterizing the current state of the fuel cell engine, and the amplitude, frequency, and duty cycle of each control signal are input into a pre-trained deep learning network to obtain the amplitude, frequency, and duty cycle of each control signal after coupling optimization.
[0024] Furthermore, the fuel cell engine control method based on the inertial measurement sensor further includes the following steps:
[0025] S5. Based on the current state of the fuel cell engine combined with the coupled optimized control signal, predict the state of the fuel cell engine at the next moment;
[0026] S6. Determine whether the state of the above-mentioned fuel cell engine at the next moment is within a preset range. If so, control the operating state of the fuel cell engine at the next moment according to the control signal after coupling optimization; otherwise, control the operating state of the fuel cell engine at the next moment according to the control signal before coupling optimization.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. The vehicle's real-time operating status is derived from signals collected by inertial measurement sensors throughout the vehicle. Data collected by inertial measurement sensors is unaffected by factors such as weather conditions, lighting, snow, or obscured landmarks. The data is more reliable because it does not require any connection or data exchange with any equipment outside the vehicle body, thus providing a more accurate indicator of the vehicle's real-time operating status.
[0029] 2. The vehicle's inclination, acceleration, deceleration, and load weight information are obtained through signals collected by the inertial measurement sensors on the entire vehicle, and then used to control the operating status of the fuel cell engine. This can effectively eliminate the impact of the vehicle's inclination, acceleration, deceleration, and load weight information on the operating status of the fuel cell engine, thereby improving the control accuracy of the fuel cell engine. It is suitable for various types of automatic unmanned vehicles and various climatic conditions.
[0030] 3. By predicting the state of the fuel cell engine at the next moment, the control strategy can be further optimized to prevent the fuel cell engine state from exceeding the preset range due to changes in the control strategy, thereby improving control safety.
