Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a method for controlling a vehicle engine, a computer-readable storage medium, and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Turbocharging technology is currently the main application measure to improve engine performance. When the turbocharged engine installed in a passenger car is working, the speed of the turbocharger is very high. When the vehicle decelerates, especially when the vehicle decelerates suddenly, the engine throttle needs to be closed quickly, otherwise the engine speed will suddenly increase or the vehicle will be unable to decelerate. When the throttle is closed, the turbocharger will still rotate at high speed due to the inertia of rotation, and continue to compress the fresh air and compress it in the direction of the throttle. However, since the throttle is already closed, the pressure ratio of the supercharger will increase instantly, causing the supercharger to surge, resulting in damage or destruction of the supercharger. Therefore, corresponding devices or measures are needed to avoid excessive pressure and surge.

[0003] In current technology, intake pressure relief valves are commonly used to deal with this working condition to avoid damage to the supercharger. The working principle of the pressure relief valve is to add a conducting pipeline before and after the compressor of the supercharger, and install a pressure relief valve that can be controlled to open and close on the pipeline. When the engine is working normally, the pressure relief valve is closed to ensure that the compressor can smoothly press fresh air into the cylinder. When the throttle of the engine is closed during rapid deceleration, the pressure relief valve is opened to allow the high-pressure air behind the compressor to quickly return to the front of the compressor, reducing the boost pressure to avoid damage. However, this method requires the addition of a pressure relief valve and corresponding connecting pipelines and wiring harnesses on the vehicle, resulting in an increase in the cost of the entire vehicle. In actual use, there are often problems such as abnormal noise when the pressure relief valve is opened and insufficient power caused by the premature opening of the pressure relief valve.

[0043] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, according to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle engine control method is proposed, comprising:

[0045] Step 101: When the vehicle is in a deceleration condition, obtain exhaust pressure information of the supercharger.

[0046] Step 102: When the exhaust pressure information is greater than or equal to a first threshold, the output end of the engine is controlled to be connected to the generator of the vehicle to consume the power of the engine and reduce the exhaust pressure of the supercharger.

[0047] The control method of the vehicle engine provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the exhaust pressure information of the supercharger when the vehicle is in a deceleration condition. If the exhaust pressure information is greater than a first threshold value, it is possible that the boost pressure is too high and may cause surge. In this case, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to control the motor connected to the generator of the vehicle. The work done by the engine can be used to drive the generator to generate electricity and charge the vehicle's power battery. At the same time, the engine's power generation power is gradually reduced until the boost pressure is reduced to a level where surge does not occur, thereby preventing the occurrence of surge.

[0048] The vehicle engine control method provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account that the fundamental reason for surging caused by excessive pressure is the sudden drop in vehicle speed, which causes the engine throttle to close quickly. In this solution, starting from a hybrid vehicle model equipped with a turbocharged engine, strategy optimization is performed to avoid the sudden closing of the throttle under conditions such as a sudden drop in vehicle speed, thereby achieving pressure relief of the control strategy and avoiding surging caused by excessive boost pressure.

[0049] Considering that the vehicle may include: a turbocharged engine, a P1 engine directly connected to the engine or a P2 generator connected to the engine through a clutch, a power battery, and other related structures; under normal working conditions, the engine drives the generator to generate electricity or the engine directly drives the wheels, and the driving force of the vehicle suddenly decreases under deceleration conditions. At this time, the present invention controls the engine through a control strategy to still maintain the working state before deceleration, but the work done by the engine at this time will drive the generator to generate electricity and charge the power battery of the hybrid vehicle, while gradually reducing the engine's power generation power until the boost pressure is reduced to a level where no surging occurs.

[0050] The control method for a vehicle engine provided by the embodiment of the present application suppresses or eliminates the surging phenomenon, and has at least the following technical effects:

[0051] 1. It can reduce the cost of parts: using software control strategy to replace the pressure relief valve, eliminating the pressure relief valve and its corresponding pipeline, can achieve a material cost of about 100 yuan;

[0052] 2. Improved interface quality: Eliminating the pressure relief valve and its corresponding pipelines can reduce more than 8 hardware interfaces, preventing the risk of leakage and incorrect installation;

[0053] 3. NVH improvement: remove the pressure relief valve, reduce the knocking sound of the pressure relief valve, and improve user experience;

[0054] 4. Reduce weight: This plan can reduce weight by at least 1KG, achieving the weight reduction plan

[0055] 5. Improvement of aesthetics in layout: This solution eliminates the hardware pressure relief valve and its pipeline, which is more conducive to improving the aesthetics of the layout.

[0056] In a feasible implementation, the vehicle engine control method further includes: collecting the vehicle's travel speed information, and determining that the vehicle is in a deceleration condition when the travel speed information drops below a second threshold within a preset period.

[0057] In this technical solution, a specific method for determining the deceleration condition is further provided, and the vehicle's travel speed can be collected in real time. If the travel speed drops by a second threshold within a preset period, it can be said that the vehicle has performed an emergency brake within a certain period of time. In this case, surge is particularly prone to occur. Therefore, this condition is used as a deceleration condition, and the exhaust pressure information is collected.

[0058] It is understandable that the second threshold value may be set by the user, or may be directly set in the vehicle controller during the vehicle's factory process.

[0059] In a feasible implementation manner, when the exhaust pressure information is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, the output end of the engine is controlled to be connected to the generator of the vehicle to consume the power of the engine, and the step of reducing the exhaust pressure of the supercharger includes: when the exhaust pressure information is greater than the first threshold value, obtaining the current maximum charging power information of the battery of the vehicle and the current power of the engine; based on the current power and the maximum charging power information, controlling the operating mode of the engine and the battery.

[0060] In this technical solution, a specific method of controlling the connection between the engine and the generator is further provided, in which the current power of the engine can be obtained, and the current power is the maximum power required to reduce surge. Based on the current power that the engine needs to output and the maximum charging power that can be consumed during the charging process of the vehicle battery, the operation mode of the engine and the battery is controlled, which can accurately consume the peak supply of the engine and suppress the surge phenomenon more effectively.

[0061] In a feasible implementation, based on the current power and the maximum charging power information, the steps of controlling the operating mode of the engine and the battery include: when the current power is less than or equal to the maximum charging power information, controlling the output end of the engine to be connected to the generator of the vehicle to charge the battery; when the current power is greater than the maximum charging power information, controlling the output end of the engine to be connected to the generator of the vehicle to charge the battery, and controlling the generator to consume electrical energy.

[0062] In this technical solution, a mode of controlling the operation of the engine and the battery is further provided. When the current power is less than or equal to the maximum charging power information, it means that the current power required to be consumed by the engine can be consumed by the generator to charge the battery. In this case, the engine can be directly controlled to be connected to the generator. When the current power is greater than the maximum charging power information, it means that the current power of the engine cannot be consumed only by the generator and the battery under the current circumstances. In this case, while controlling the engine to be connected to the generator, it is also necessary to control the battery power generation and generator consumption so that the battery can take over the current power output by the engine.

[0063] In one possible embodiment, the step of controlling the generator to consume electrical energy includes the steps of: controlling the generator to supply power to a heating device on the vehicle; and / or controlling the generator to self-heat to convert electrical energy into thermal energy; wherein the heating device includes at least one of a battery heater, a window heater, and a seat heater.

[0064] In this technical solution, specific steps for the generator to consume electrical energy are further provided. When the current power is less than or equal to the maximum charging power information, the generator can be controlled to supply power to the electric heater on the vehicle to consume the battery's electrical energy. In this case, the maximum charging power of the battery can be increased so that the battery can take on the current power output by the engine.

[0065] In this technical solution, when the current power is less than or equal to the maximum charging power information, the generator can also be controlled to self-heat to convert the electrical energy generated by the generator into heat energy and consume the electrical energy so that the battery can take on the current power output by the engine.

[0066] It is understandable that the vehicle may be equipped with auxiliary heating devices, which are heating devices, including but not limited to battery heaters, window heaters and seat heaters.

[0067] In a feasible implementation, the step of controlling the battery to supply power to a heating device on the vehicle includes: obtaining the difference between the current power and the maximum charging power information, and using the difference as the power to be consumed; when the power to be consumed is less than a third threshold, only supplying power to the heating device on the vehicle; when the power to be consumed is greater than the third threshold, supplying power to the heating device on the vehicle and controlling the generator to self-heat.

[0068] In this technical solution, in the process of controlling the battery to supply power to the battery device on the vehicle, the difference between the current power and the maximum charging power information can be further identified, and the difference is the power to be consumed that the battery cannot consume in the current state; the power to be consumed is further compared with the third threshold value. If the power to be consumed is less than or equal to the third threshold value, in this case, the heating device on the vehicle is given priority to supply power, rather than controlling the self-heating of the generator. This setting ensures that the current power of the engine can be consumed while trying to make the operating temperature of the generator close to balance, so that the utilization rate of the engine kinetic energy is higher, more energy-saving, and the service life of the engine can be increased. When the power to be consumed is greater than the third threshold value, it means that the power to be consumed cannot be consumed only by the heating device on the vehicle. In this case, it is necessary to supply power to the heating device on the vehicle and control the generator to self-heat to ensure the suppression effect of the surge phenomenon.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the first threshold is determined based on the exhaust temperature, exhaust pressure and intake pressure of the supercharger.

[0070] In this technical solution, the method for taking the value of the first threshold is further determined. The first threshold is determined based on the exhaust temperature, exhaust pressure and intake pressure of the supercharger, so that the value of the first threshold can be adapted to different operating conditions of the vehicle, and the surge suppression can be adapted to the driving state of the vehicle, which can further improve the surge suppression effect.

[0071] In a feasible implementation, the vehicle engine control method further includes: when the exhaust pressure information is less than a first threshold, controlling the engine as a power source of the vehicle to drive the vehicle.

[0072] In this technical solution, if the exhaust pressure information is less than the first threshold, it means that the probability of vehicle surge is low. In this case, the engine can be controlled as the power source of the vehicle to drive the vehicle, so as to minimize the change in the engine kinetic energy output mode, improve the safety factor of the vehicle operation, and ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle.

[0073] In some examples, the control method provided by the embodiments of the present application may include the following steps:

[0074] Step 1: Monitor vehicle acceleration. Once the vehicle enters a deceleration condition and the boost pressure reaches the surge threshold, the pressure relief control strategy is activated.

[0075] Step 2: According to the current working conditions of the engine, mainly the engine speed and the boost pressure, determine the current power that the engine needs to generate when entering the pressure relief strategy, that is, ① in the logic diagram;

[0076] Step 3: According to the current working state of the vehicle's power battery, determine the maximum power that the current generator can consume; the main factors that determine the upper limit of the battery charging power are the temperature and power of the power battery. Since the power battery has a certain limit on the allowable charging power under conditions of low or high temperature and high power, it is necessary to determine the maximum allowable charging power, which is ② in the logic diagram;

[0077] Step 4: Compare ① and ②. If ② is greater than or equal to ①, the pressure relief control strategy consumes the engine power by charging the power battery to achieve the purpose of gradually reducing the boost pressure.

[0078] Step 5: If ① is greater than ②, in addition to consuming the engine power by charging the power battery, it is also necessary to consume the engine power by dissipating heat from the generator itself, so as to gradually reduce the boost pressure;

[0079] Step 6: After the boost pressure drops below the surge pressure limit through step 5 or step 6 above, the pressure relief control strategy is completed and exited, returning to the normal engine control logic.

[0080] like Figure 2 As shown, according to the second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a computer-readable storage medium 201 is proposed, on which a computer program 202 is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, a vehicle engine control method as described in any of the above technical solutions is implemented.

[0081] The computer-readable storage medium 201 provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains exhaust pressure information of the supercharger when the vehicle is in a deceleration condition. If the exhaust pressure information is greater than a first threshold value, it is possible that the boost pressure is too high and may cause surge. In this case, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to control the motor connected to the generator of the vehicle, so that the work done by the engine can be used to drive the generator to generate electricity and charge the vehicle's power battery. At the same time, the engine's power generation power is gradually reduced until the boost pressure is reduced to a level where surge does not occur, thereby preventing the occurrence of surge.

[0082] The computer-readable storage medium 201 provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account that the fundamental reason for surging due to excessive pressure is the sudden drop in vehicle speed, which causes the engine throttle to close quickly. In this solution, starting from a hybrid vehicle model equipped with a turbocharged engine, strategy optimization is performed to avoid the sudden closing of the throttle under conditions such as a sudden drop in vehicle speed, thereby achieving pressure relief of the control strategy and avoiding surging due to excessive boost pressure.

[0083] The computer-readable storage medium provided in the embodiment of the present application suppresses or eliminates the surge phenomenon, which has at least the following technical effects:

[0084] 1. It can reduce the cost of parts: using software control strategy to replace the pressure relief valve, eliminating the pressure relief valve and its corresponding pipeline, can achieve a material cost of about 100 yuan;

[0085] 2. Improved interface quality: Eliminating the pressure relief valve and its corresponding pipelines can reduce more than 8 hardware interfaces, preventing the risk of leakage and incorrect installation;

[0086] 3. NVH improvement: remove the pressure relief valve, reduce the knocking sound of the pressure relief valve, and improve user experience;

[0087] 4. Reduce weight: This plan can reduce weight by at least 1KG, achieving the weight reduction plan

[0088] 5. Improvement of aesthetics in layout: This solution eliminates the hardware pressure relief valve and its pipeline, which is more conducive to improving the aesthetics of the layout.

[0090] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application executes a computer program through the control device 310 to obtain the exhaust pressure information of the supercharger when the vehicle is in a deceleration condition. If the exhaust pressure information is greater than the first threshold, the boost pressure may be too high and may cause surge. In this case, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to control the motor connected to the generator of the vehicle. The work done by the engine can be used to drive the generator to generate electricity and charge the vehicle's power battery. At the same time, the engine's power generation power is gradually reduced until the boost pressure is reduced to a level where surge does not occur, thereby preventing the occurrence of surge.

[0091] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application takes into account that the fundamental reason for surging caused by excessive pressure is the sudden drop in vehicle speed, which causes the engine throttle to close quickly. In this solution, starting from a hybrid vehicle model equipped with a turbocharged engine, strategy optimization is performed to avoid the sudden closing of the throttle under conditions such as a sudden drop in vehicle speed, thereby achieving pressure relief with a control strategy and avoiding surging caused by excessive boost pressure.

[0096] 4. Weight reduction: This plan reduces weight by at least 1KG, achieving the weight reduction plan;
