[0044] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0045] In the related art, the electric air compressor is in constant speed mode with a fixed exhaust volume. Under the factory-planned rated total air tank volume and rated steady-state pressure conditions, the pumping time is a fixed value and cannot be adjusted.
[0046] During the research, the inventor found that the electric air compressor (air compressor) in the related technology is generally adapted to the motor, crankshaft, noise and other structural parts according to the displacement requirements of the whole vehicle. While meeting the displacement requirements of the whole vehicle, it also takes into account the cost, weight, motor power and noise requirements, matching the most cost-effective product and achieving the optimal rated speed and exhaust volume.
[0047] After actual bench testing, it was found that without upgrading the hardware, the motor could only maintain peak speed for a short period of time (for example, about 300 rpm higher than the rated speed). Long-term high-speed operation would cause motor erosion, crankshaft breakage, noise levels exceeding regulatory requirements, and reduce the service life of the air compressor, making it impossible to maintain high-speed operation for a long time.
[0048] If the electric air compressor is at a constant speed, when the vehicle frequently brakes on a congested road, it will lead to insufficient supply of brake air, further causing the braking force to decay, posing a driving safety hazard.
[0049] In addition, during frequent driving braking, if the air pressure of the electric air compressor is too low, causing the vehicle's low-pressure alarm, the driver needs to actively stop the car to pump air (pressurize) before continuing to drive, affecting the vehicle's operating efficiency.
[0050] In response to the above-mentioned defects, the air compressor control method for new energy commercial vehicles in the embodiment of the present application can shorten the pumping time when the air demand is high, while reducing energy consumption, thereby improving braking safety.
[0051] An air compressor, the core of an air source, converts the motor's mechanical energy into gas pressure energy and is a compressed air pressure generator. Air compressors serve as the brake air source for new energy commercial vehicles.
[0052] The following describes in detail the technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0053] The embodiment of the present application provides an air compressor control method for a new energy commercial vehicle, such as Figure 1 As shown, a flow chart of a method for controlling an air compressor of a new energy commercial vehicle in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The method includes at least the following steps S110 to S130:
[0054] Step S110 , obtaining the air supply parameter values of the entire vehicle system during the vehicle's driving in real time.
[0055] Based on the standard protocol of commercial vehicles, such as the J1939-71 standard, the required signal status can be obtained. The vehicle obtains the air supply reference value of the vehicle system in real time while driving.
[0056] For example, the real-time air pressure value of the front axle in the current state is identified according to the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAEXX, PNG: 65198) and Service Brake Circuit 1 Air Pressure (SPN: 1087).
[0057] Alternatively, identify the current rear axle real-time air pressure value based on the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAE17, PNG: 65198) and Service BrakeCircuit 2Air Pressure (SPN: 1088).
[0058] Of course, the real-time air pressure values of the front and rear axles in the current state can be identified at the same time. At the same time, a preset air supply threshold value needs to be pre-set, which can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application.
[0059] Step S120: determining a braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process.
[0060] Similarly, the braking parameter values of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process can be determined. The braking parameter values here include but are not limited to the number of braking times during the driving process, the time interval between each braking, the pressure reduction gradient value, etc.
[0061] It should be noted that determining the braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process and obtaining the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system during the driving process are performed simultaneously and are for the same driving process.
[0062] Step S130, when it is determined that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold value and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold value, a second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor, wherein the second speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the second preset control strategy is greater than the first speed of the air compressor obtained by controlling the air compressor in the first preset control strategy, and the first speed is the rated standard value.
[0063] From the perspective of reducing pneumatic energy consumption, when it is judged that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold, the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor.
[0064] Considering the scenario where the vehicle brakes frequently during driving, when it is determined that the vehicle system air supply parameter value at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold (exceeds the preset air supply threshold) and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold (high-frequency braking), the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor, such as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the vehicle controller controls the high-pressure auxiliary drive to output a high-speed request signal to the air compressor controller, so that the air compressor maintains a high-speed and high-displacement working state, and shortens the pumping time as much as possible under the condition of the same volume.
[0065] In some embodiments, the second speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the second preset control strategy is greater than the rated standard value of the first speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the first preset control strategy. That is, when the second preset control strategy is used, the air compressor is controlled to provide high-speed air supply (within a preset short time), thereby achieving a high exhaust volume working state. Under the condition of the same volume, the pumping time can be shortened as much as possible.
[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: obtaining a vehicle weight information parameter value of the vehicle; if the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than a preset vehicle load value, the vehicle's current load state is considered to be fully loaded; if the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than the preset vehicle load value, the vehicle's current load state is considered to be unloaded.
[0067] During specific implementation, it is necessary to consider the vehicle weight, that is, whether the vehicle is fully loaded or not, which will also affect the control strategy of the air compressor.
[0068] For example, the vehicle load status is identified based on the Gross Combination Vehicle Weight (SPN: 1760) in the CVW (ID: 00FE700B, PNG: 65136) vehicle weight information.
[0069] After obtaining the vehicle weight information parameter value, if it is determined that the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than a preset vehicle load value (e.g., 16T), the vehicle's current load state is considered to be fully loaded. Similarly, if the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than the preset vehicle load value, the vehicle's current load state is considered to be unloaded.
[0070] When considering the control strategy, it is necessary to consider the vehicle load state and distinguish different situations so that the air compressor provides low-speed air supply or high-speed air supply.
[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold value and the braking parameter value at the current moment is less than the preset braking frequency threshold value, the first preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor so that the speed of the air compressor reaches the rated standard value.
[0072] When implementing it specifically, Figure 2 As previously described, if the current vehicle system air supply parameter value is determined to be less than a preset air supply threshold and the current braking parameter value is less than a preset braking frequency threshold, a first preset control strategy is employed to control the air compressor so that the air compressor speed reaches a rated standard value. Specifically, the vehicle controller may control the high-voltage auxiliary drive to power the electric air compressor to supply air to the vehicle.
[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, the braking parameter value includes a braking frequency, which is determined based on the number of braking times and the braking interval. The judgment that the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold value includes: judging whether the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold value based on the braking frequency and the corresponding pressure reduction gradient value during each braking.
[0074] In practice, the vehicle controller monitors braking parameters, including braking frequency (number of brakes / braking interval) and the pressure drop gradient during each brake, to determine if the vehicle is experiencing high air consumption. The vehicle controller then controls the high-voltage auxiliary drive to output a high-speed request signal to the air compressor controller, maintaining the compressor's high speed and achieving a high-displacement operating state. This minimizes pumping time while maintaining the same volume.
[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, the real-time acquisition of the vehicle system air supply parameter value during driving includes: real-time acquisition of the real-time air pressure value of the front axle or the real-time air pressure value of the rear axle in the current state of the vehicle during driving; determining the braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process, including: acquiring the brake pedal stroke of the vehicle; acquiring the working status of the ABS module of the vehicle; and recording the corresponding duration when braking is performed.
[0076] During specific implementation, the real-time air pressure value of the front axle or the real-time air pressure value of the rear axle in the current state of the vehicle during driving is obtained in real time: according to the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAEXX, PNG: 65198), Service BrakeCircuit 1Air Pressure (SPN: 1087), the real-time air pressure value of the front axle in the current state is identified.
[0077] Based on the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAE17, PNG: 65198), Service Brake Circuit 2 Air Pressure (SPN: 1088), identify the real-time air pressure value of the rear axle in the current state.
[0078] Obtain the vehicle's brake pedal travel; obtain the vehicle's ABS module operating status; and record the duration of braking:
[0079] Identify the brake pedal stroke based on the Brake Pedal Position (SPN: 521) in the EBC1 (ID: 18F0010B, PNG: 61441) electronic brake controller.
[0080] According to Anti-lock Braking (ABS) Active (SPN: 563) in the EBC1 (ID: 18F0010B, PNG: 61441) electronic brake controller, the ABS operating status is identified.
[0081] The vehicle load status is identified based on the Gross Combination Vehicle Weight (SPN: 1760) in the CVW (ID: 00FE700B, PNG: 65136) vehicle weight information.
[0082] According to TD (ID: 18FEE6XX, PNG: (65254) time / date, Seconds (SPN: 959), the time information (unit: seconds) is recorded.
[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, when it is judged that the air supply parameter value of the whole vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold value and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold value, the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor, including: if it is judged that the brake pedal stroke of the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and the corresponding time length when the braking is executed meets the preset time length, and it is judged that the real-time front axle real-time air pressure value or the rear axle real-time air pressure value in the current state of the vehicle during driving is not greater than the preset pressure threshold value, and the braking interval meets the preset interval, then the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor.
[0084] When implementing it specifically, Figure 4 As shown, if it is determined that the vehicle's brake pedal travel meets preset conditions, the duration corresponding to the braking action meets a preset duration, and the real-time front axle air pressure value or the real-time rear axle air pressure value obtained in real time during the vehicle's current driving state is not greater than a preset pressure threshold value, and the braking interval meets a preset interval, that is, if all of the above conditions are met, the second preset control strategy is used to control the air compressor. At this time, the vehicle's current load state is fully loaded.
[0085] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: determining whether the pressure drop parameter value after multiple braking is greater than a preset threshold value; if it is determined that the pressure drop parameter value after multiple braking is greater than the preset threshold value, then adopting a second preset control strategy to control the air compressor.
[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, in a specific implementation, when the current load state of the vehicle is no-load, at the same time,
[0087] If it is determined that the brake pedal stroke of the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and
[0088] The duration corresponding to the braking operation meets the preset duration, and
[0089] Determine whether the real-time air pressure value of the front axle or the real-time air pressure value of the rear axle obtained in real time during the current state of the vehicle is greater than a preset pressure threshold value, and
[0090] If the braking interval meets the preset interval, a second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor.
[0091] At this time, it is also necessary to consider whether the pressure drop parameter value after multiple braking (for example, whether the pressure drop is greater than 200kPa / 3 braking times) is greater than the preset threshold value; if it is judged that the pressure drop parameter value after multiple braking is greater than the preset threshold value, the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor to control the air compressor to provide high-speed air supply.
[0092] If the vehicle is currently fully loaded, there is no need to consider the above situation.
[0093] The embodiment of the present application also provides an air compressor control device 300 for a new energy commercial vehicle, such as Figure 3 As shown, a schematic structural diagram of an air compressor control device for a new energy commercial vehicle in an embodiment of the present application is provided. The air compressor control device 300 for a new energy commercial vehicle includes at least: an acquisition module 310, a determination module 320, and a control module 330, wherein:
[0094] In one embodiment of the present application, the acquisition module 310 is specifically used to obtain the air supply parameter value of the entire vehicle system in real time during the vehicle's driving process.
[0095] Based on the standard protocol of commercial vehicles, such as the J1939-71 standard, the required signal status can be obtained. The vehicle obtains the air supply reference value of the vehicle system in real time while driving.
[0096] For example, the real-time air pressure value of the front axle in the current state is identified according to the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAEXX, PNG: 65198) and Service Brake Circuit 1 Air Pressure (SPN: 1087).
[0097] Alternatively, identify the current rear axle real-time air pressure value based on the air supply pressure of AIR1 (ID: 18FEAE17, PNG: 65198) and Service BrakeCircuit 2Air Pressure (SPN: 1088).
[0098] Of course, the real-time air pressure values of the front and rear axles in the current state can be identified at the same time. At the same time, a preset air supply threshold value needs to be pre-set, which can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application.
[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, the determination module 320 is specifically used to determine a braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process.
[0100] Similarly, the braking parameter values of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process can be determined. The braking parameter values here include but are not limited to the number of braking times during the driving process, the time interval between each braking, the pressure reduction gradient value, etc.
[0101] It should be noted that determining the braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process and obtaining the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system during the driving process are performed simultaneously and are for the same driving process.
[0102] In one embodiment of the present application, the control module 330 is specifically used to: when it is determined that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold value and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold value, adopt a second preset control strategy to control the air compressor, wherein the second speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the second preset control strategy is greater than the first speed of the air compressor obtained by controlling the first preset control strategy, and the first speed is the rated standard value.
[0103] From the perspective of reducing pneumatic energy consumption, when it is judged that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold, the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor.
[0104] Considering the scenario where the vehicle brakes frequently during driving, when it is determined that the vehicle system air supply parameter value at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold (exceeds the preset air supply threshold) and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold (high-frequency braking), the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor, such as Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the vehicle controller controls the high-pressure auxiliary drive to output a high-speed request signal to the air compressor controller, so that the air compressor maintains a high-speed and high-displacement working state, and shortens the pumping time as much as possible under the condition of the same volume.
[0105] In some embodiments, the second speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the second preset control strategy is greater than the rated standard value of the first speed of the air compressor obtained by adopting the first preset control strategy. That is, when the second preset control strategy is used, the air compressor is controlled to provide high-speed air supply (within a preset short time), thereby achieving a high exhaust volume working state. Under the condition of the same volume, the pumping time can be shortened as much as possible.
[0106] It can be understood that the air compressor control device of the above-mentioned new energy commercial vehicle can implement the various steps of the air compressor control method of the new energy commercial vehicle provided in the aforementioned embodiment. The relevant explanations on the air compressor control method of the new energy commercial vehicle are applicable to the air compressor control device of the new energy commercial vehicle and will not be repeated here.
[0107] like Figure 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the control strategy of the air compressor control method for a new energy commercial vehicle in an embodiment of the present application.
[0108] First, the vehicle weight information parameter value of the vehicle is obtained. If the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than the preset vehicle load value, the vehicle's current load state is considered to be fully loaded; if the vehicle weight information parameter value is greater than the preset vehicle load value, the vehicle's current load state is considered to be unloaded.
[0109] Then, the real-time acquisition of the vehicle system air supply parameter value during the vehicle driving process includes:
[0110] Real-time acquisition of a front axle real-time air pressure value or a rear axle real-time air pressure value in a current state of the vehicle during driving;
[0111] Determining a braking parameter value of the vehicle when braking occurs during the driving process includes:
[0112] Obtaining a brake pedal travel of the vehicle;
[0113] Obtaining the operating status of the ABS module of the vehicle;
[0114] Record the duration of braking.
[0115] Finally, when it is determined that the air supply parameter value of the vehicle system at the current moment is less than the preset air supply threshold and the braking parameter value at the current moment is greater than the preset braking frequency threshold, the second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor, including:
[0116] If it is determined that the brake pedal stroke of the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and
[0117] The duration corresponding to the braking operation meets the preset duration, and
[0118] Determine whether the real-time air pressure value of the front axle or the real-time air pressure value of the rear axle obtained in real time during the current state of the vehicle is greater than a preset pressure threshold value, and
[0119] If the braking interval meets the preset interval, a second preset control strategy is adopted to control the air compressor.
[0120] The air compressor control method for new energy commercial vehicles in the embodiment of the present application can shorten the pumping time when the air demand is high, while reducing energy consumption, thereby improving braking safety.
[0121] The specific principle is analyzed as follows: due to the variable speed control of the air compressor, the energy consumption is better.
[0122] Considering that discontinuous speed is controllable, it is only necessary to define the standard speed and the maximum speed that can be tolerated for a short period of time. The reasons are as follows:
[0123] After bench testing: under the same volume and the same voltage regulation state, the energy consumption at low speed is higher than that at high speed, so only the upper and lower limits need to be defined, and there is no need to pay attention to the speed continuity.
[0124] For identical air compressors, with the same total air reservoir volume and steady-state pressure, the energy consumption data corresponding to different speeds are shown in Table 1 below:
[0125] Table 1
[0126]
[0127] Bench test data shows that when the total volume of the air cylinder is the same and the steady-state pressure is the same, the higher the speed, the lower the energy consumption.
[0128] Due to the variable speed control of the air compressor, the secondary air supply time is shorter.
[0129] Specifically, if the air compressor's displacement at 1500rpm corresponds to 380L / min, and at 1800rpm the corresponding displacement can reach 430L / min, it will take less time to achieve the same air supply effect, and the secondary air supply can be completed more quickly in congested roads, thereby improving driving braking safety.
[0130] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5At the hardware level, the electronic device includes a processor and, optionally, an internal bus, a network interface, and memory. The memory may include internal memory, such as high-speed random-access memory (RAM), or non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk drive.
