Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of engine heat dissipation, and in particular relates to an engine heat dissipation system, a vehicle, a control method and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In the existing vehicle with hydraulic retarder structure, the engine has a reserved hydraulic retarder water inlet, and the coolant flows directly from the engine into the radiator of the hydraulic retarder, and then returns to the pipeline in front of the engine thermostat, and participates in the large or small circulation of the coolant according to the initial opening and full opening temperature settings of the thermostat. Because wax thermostats are currently used, the responsiveness is poor. When the hydraulic retarder is turned on or when the hydraulic retarder reaches instantaneous high temperature during operation, the thermostat has poor responsiveness and cannot be opened in time, the coolant cannot dissipate heat in time, and the water channel temperature is prone to peak, resulting in poor heat dissipation of the hydraulic retarder and greatly reduced braking power.

[0018] According to the water temperature of the engine being lower than the second water temperature preset value, the second liquid outlet end of the control valve is opened, and the first liquid outlet end of the control valve is closed, so that the coolant flows to the thermostat.

[0041] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the engine cooling system according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown schematically. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes an engine cooling system, a vehicle, a control method and a storage medium. The engine cooling system in the present invention includes an engine assembly, a hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and a whole vehicle radiator 30. The engine assembly includes an engine 21 and a thermostat 22. A control valve 211 is provided at the liquid outlet of the engine 21. The liquid inlet of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 is connected to the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211. The liquid inlet of the thermostat 22 is connected to the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211. The first liquid outlet of the thermostat 22 is connected to the engine 21. The liquid inlet of the whole vehicle radiator 30 is respectively connected to the liquid outlet of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and the second liquid outlet of the thermostat 22. The liquid outlet of the whole vehicle radiator 30 is connected to the engine 21.

[0042] By using the engine cooling system in the technical solution, a combination structure of an engine assembly, a hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and a vehicle radiator 30 is adopted, and a control valve 211 is provided at the liquid outlet of the engine 21, a first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is connected to the thermostat 22, and a second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is sequentially connected to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10, and by adjusting the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211, two flow directions of the engine coolant can be achieved. The first one is directly connected to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and the vehicle radiator 30 through the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211, so as to achieve a large circulation operation of the coolant, and the coolant can be quickly cooled, so as to ensure good heat dissipation of the hydraulic retarder, and improve the braking effect and reliability. The second one is to achieve a small circulation operation of the coolant through the thermostat 22, which is suitable for the case where the coolant temperature is not high. The engine cooling system of the present invention can better perform heat dissipation operation on the hydraulic retarder according to different situations, and improve the heat dissipation capacity and reliability.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the engine cooling system includes an electronic control unit 50, which is electrically connected to the control valve 211 and can control the on / off state of the first liquid outlet and / or the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211. In this embodiment, the electronic control unit 50 can control the switching between the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 in real time, that is, the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 can be closed while the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is opened, and the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 can be closed while the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is opened, so as to ensure the correct flow of the coolant of the engine cooling system.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the engine cooling system includes a driving pump 40, which is used to connect the engine 21 and the vehicle radiator 30. In this embodiment, the driving pump 40 can drive the coolant to flow, promote the circulation of the coolant of the entire engine cooling system, and improve reliability.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control valve 211 is a three-way solenoid valve. In this embodiment, the three-way solenoid valve can switch the coolant between the first liquid outlet and the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211, thereby controlling the flow direction of the coolant to ensure that the coolant can dissipate heat better. At the same time, since the control valve 211 is a solenoid valve, it can perform delayed action according to the control of the electronic control unit 50, which facilitates the implementation of delayed operation of the subsequent control method.

[0046] A second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle having the above-mentioned engine cooling system.

[0047] By using the vehicle in the technical solution, a combination structure of an engine assembly, a hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and a whole vehicle radiator 30 is adopted, and a control valve 211 is provided at the liquid outlet end of the engine 21, a first liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is connected to the thermostat 22, and a second liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is sequentially connected to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10, and by adjusting the first liquid outlet end and the second liquid outlet end of the control valve 211, two flow directions of the engine coolant can be realized. The first one is directly connected to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and the whole vehicle radiator 30 through the first liquid outlet end of the control valve 211, so as to realize a large circulation operation of the coolant, and the coolant can be quickly cooled down to ensure good heat dissipation of the hydraulic retarder, thereby improving the braking effect and reliability. The second one is to realize a small circulation operation of the coolant through the thermostat 22, which is suitable for the situation where the coolant temperature is not high. The engine cooling system of the present invention can better perform heat dissipation operation on the hydraulic retarder according to different situations, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity and reliability.

[0048] The present invention also proposes a control method for an engine cooling system, which is implemented according to the above engine cooling system and includes:

[0049] According to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 being in an idle state (in this embodiment, the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 is in an idle state, which means that the hydraulic retarder is in an idle state), the water temperature of the engine 21 is obtained;

[0050] When the water temperature of the engine 21 is greater than or equal to the first water temperature preset value, the first liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is opened and the second liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is closed, so that the coolant flows to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and the vehicle radiator 30 in sequence.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the water temperature of the engine 21 exceeds the first water temperature preset value (which can be set to 95°C in this embodiment, and other embodiments require specific calculations based on specific circumstances), the control valve 211 will connect the first liquid outlet and the hydraulic retarder radiator 10, while blocking the connection between the second liquid outlet and the thermostat 22, so that the coolant flows through the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 (the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 has no heat at this time, and the coolant only flows through the hydraulic retarder radiator 10) and then directly enters the vehicle radiator 30 under the large circulation for cooling, which can reduce the high-speed operation time of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan, reduce the power consumption of accessories, and can also quickly cool the coolant, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, according to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 being in an idle state, obtaining the water temperature of the engine 21 further includes:

[0053] When the water temperature of the engine 21 is lower than the second water temperature preset value, the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is opened, and the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is closed, so that the coolant flows to the thermostat 22 .

[0054] In this embodiment, when the water temperature of the engine 21 is lower than the second water temperature preset value (which can be set to 90°C in this embodiment, and other embodiments require specific calculations based on specific circumstances), the control valve 211 will connect its own second liquid outlet and the thermostat 22, and at the same time block the connection between its own first liquid outlet and the hydraulic retarder radiator 10. Since the water temperature of the engine 21 is not high, there is no need to perform a specific rapid cooling operation through a large circulation, so that the coolant flows to the thermostat 22, and then the thermostat 22 determines whether to perform a small circulation (i.e., not flowing through the vehicle radiator 30) and a large circulation (i.e., flowing through the vehicle radiator 30) operation.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, according to the water temperature of the engine 21 being greater than or equal to the first water temperature preset value, after opening the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 and closing the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211, the method further includes:

[0056] According to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 being in an operating state (in this embodiment, the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 is in an operating state, which means that the hydraulic retarder is in an operating state), an opening signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 is obtained;

[0057] According to the opening signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10, the first liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is opened, and the second liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 is closed, so that the coolant flows to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 and the vehicle radiator 30 in sequence.

[0058] In the present embodiment, when the engine cooling system detects the opening signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 (this also indicates that the hydraulic retarder is turned on), it means that braking operation is required and the hydraulic retarder needs to generate a large amount of heat. At this time, the first liquid outlet end of the control valve 211 needs to be connected to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10, and at the same time, the liquid path between the second liquid outlet end and the thermostat 22 is blocked. In this way, when the hydraulic retarder is working, the coolant can take away the heat of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 of the hydraulic retarder in time, and flow directly to the vehicle radiator 30 through a large circulation operation, so as to achieve rapid cooling, reduce the problem of water path temperature peak when the hydraulic retarder is working, and improve the braking power of the hydraulic retarder.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, according to the water temperature of the engine 21 being greater than or equal to the first water temperature preset value, after opening the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 and closing the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211, the method further includes:

[0060] According to the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 being in an operating state, obtaining a closing signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10;

[0061] According to the closing signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 , the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is closed after a preset time delay, and the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is opened after a preset time delay, so that the coolant flows to the thermostat 22 .

[0062] In this embodiment, when the engine cooling system detects the closing signal of the hydraulic retarder radiator 10 (this also means that the closing signal of the hydraulic retarder is detected), it means that the braking operation is no longer needed. However, since the hydraulic retarder has just completed the operation and still has a certain amount of heat, the first liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is closed after a delay of a preset time, and the second liquid outlet of the control valve 211 is opened after a delay of the same preset time. This can prevent the problem of local overheating of the hydraulic retarder and cause failure. At the same time, it can also avoid the engine coolant temperature from being too low, thereby improving reliability. The preset time in this embodiment can be set to 30s, and other embodiments need to be specifically calculated according to specific circumstances.
