[0020] A processing module, configured to determine the deviation value between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle;

[0021] An execution module, configured to determine whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value.

[0022] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic device, the electronic device includes:

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0036] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0037] Switching the valve lift can be understood as adjusting the size of the valve lift according to the working conditions of the vehicle. For example, when the speed of the vehicle is relatively low, the valve lift is switched to a small valve lift, and when the vehicle speed is relatively high, the valve lift is switched to a large valve lift. The purpose is to reduce vehicle emissions and fuel consumption and improve the performance of the vehicle.

[0038] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a valve lift switching system provided by the present invention. As Figure 1 described, the valve lift switching system includes: an electronic controller, a pin, a camshaft, a groove, a sliding sleeve, a first position sensor, and a second position sensor. Figure 1 The arrows in

[0039] Among them, the camshaft can drive the sliding sleeve to move. The groove is arranged on the sliding sleeve. Based on the telescopic situation of the pin and the position of the groove, the valve lift can be switched. The second position sensor is used to detect the extended position of the pin, the first position sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the camshaft, and the electronic controller is used to control the pin to extend or retract, and determine whether the valve lift is successfully switched according to the data detected by the two position sensors.

[0040] Unfolding the cylindrical surface of the sliding sleeve, the line of the groove relative to the camshaft rotation angle can be obtained. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the camshaft rotation angle and the groove line provided by the present invention. The numbers on the abscissa in the figure represent the rotation angle of the camshaft. As Figure 2 shown, the groove line can be divided into three stages: the pin extension section, the lift switching section, and the pin retraction section.

[0041] Currently, the method for judging valve lift switching is that when the electronic controller receives the valve lift switching instruction, it waits for the camshaft to rotate to the pin extension section; when the camshaft rotates to the pin extension section, it judges whether the pin is in the initial position (the initial position refers to the position where the pin does not extend) according to the signal collected by the second position sensor; if the pin is not in the initial position, it is considered that the valve lift switching is abnormal; if the pin is in the initial position, a pin extension instruction is issued, and the position information of the pin is collected regularly by the second position sensor, and it is judged whether the pin is in the extended position; if the pin is not in the extended position, it is considered that the valve lift switching is abnormal, if the pin is in the extended position, and it is determined through the information collected by the first acquisition device that the groove line is in the pin retraction section, it is considered that the valve lift switching is completed, and a pin retraction instruction is issued.

[0042] However, when the sliding sleeve thrust mechanism fails, the pin breaks, or the groove or the pin is excessively worn, the ECU can only control the telescopic movement of the pin and measure the position of the pin, and cannot infer the position of the sliding sleeve through the position and movement of the pin to judge whether the valve lift switching is successful.

[0043] The present application proposes a method for judging the valve lift switching action, aiming to accurately judge whether the valve lift is successfully switched. The method for judging the valve lift switching action proposed by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Figure 3FIG. 0 is a schematic flow chart of a method for judging the valve lift switching action provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations such as judging whether the valve lift is successfully switched. This method can be executed by the device for judging the valve lift switching action provided in the embodiments of the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated in an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated in the electronic device as an example. Refer to Figure 3 , the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] S101. Determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft based on the first acquisition device.

[0047] Among them, the first acquisition device can be understood as a device for detecting the rotation information of the camshaft, including a position sensor, an angle measurer, etc. The current rotation angle of the camshaft can be understood as the rotation degree of the camshaft, which is used to determine the stage where the groove line is located.

[0048] The advantage of such a setting is that the rotation angle of the camshaft can be detected in real time, and the stage where the groove line is located can be judged according to the rotation angle of the camshaft.

[0049] S102. When it is determined that the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, determine the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle based on the second acquisition device.

[0050] Among them, the preset angle threshold can be understood as the division angle value of the groove line stage, including the division angle value between the pin extension section and the lift switching section, the division angle value between the lift switching section and the pin retraction section, the division angle value between the pin retraction section and the pin extension section, etc.; the second acquisition device can be understood as a device for detecting the position information of the pin, including a position sensor, a distance sensor, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present invention, the position change of the pin in the pin retraction section is used to judge whether the valve lift is successfully switched. Therefore, the preset angle threshold can be understood as the division angle value between the lift switching section and the pin retraction section. Combined with Figure 2 To illustrate S102, assume that the preset angle value is 360°. The first acquisition device obtains the rotation angle of the camshaft at regular intervals (which can be set and adjusted according to the system performance). When the obtained rotation angle of the camshaft is greater than or equal to 360°, it can be known that the current stage is in the pin retraction section, and the depression degree of the groove on the sliding sleeve gradually becomes lower, and the groove can push the pin to gradually retract. When the rotation angle of the camshaft is greater than or equal to 360°, when the first acquisition device obtains the current rotation angle of the camshaft at regular intervals, determine the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle based on the second acquisition device.

[0052] The advantage of such a setting is that it can accurately determine the relationship between the current rotation angle and the preset angle threshold, and more accurately judge whether the valve lift switching action is successful. When the current rotation angle of the camshaft is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, and then based on the second acquisition device to determine the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle, the workload of the second acquisition device can be reduced, and the system performance can be improved.

[0053] Further, Figure 2 In, the angle range of the pin extension section is 0° to 180°, the angle range of the lift switching section is 180° to 360°, and the angle range of the pin retraction section is 360° to 460°. However, the angle ranges of each stage are not fixed, and the specific values are related to the selection of the angle reference position and the engine speed, and can be corrected according to the engine speed.

[0054] Exemplarily, the higher the engine speed, the earlier the angle range. For example, at idle speed, the angle range of the pin extension section is 0° to 180°, and the angle range of the pin retraction section is 360° to 460°; when the engine speed is 2000 revolutions per minute, the angle range of the pin extension section is -10° to 170°, and the angle range of the pin retraction section is 350° to 450°.

[0055] Optionally, after the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle will be immediately determined based on the second acquisition device, which can reduce the phenomenon of excessive wear of the pin caused by excessive contact between the pin and the groove and the misjudgment caused by excessive wear of the pin.

[0056] S103. Determine the deviation value between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle.

[0057] Among them, the reference position of the pin can be understood as the calculated extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle. For example, the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle under ideal conditions, the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle calculated in combination with the pin wear condition, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0058] Specifically, the electronic controller stores the corresponding relationship between the camshaft rotation angle and the pin extended position. After determining the current rotation angle of the camshaft, the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle can be determined through the corresponding relationship between the camshaft rotation angle and the pin extended position. The deviation value can be understood as the absolute value of the difference between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin, which is used to measure whether the extended position of the pin is normal. The advantage of such a setting is that it can quantify the judgment basis for valve lift switching and determine the completion of the entire switching process according to the size of the deviation value.

[0059] S104. Determine whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value.

[0060] Considering that the contact between the groove and the pin will cause wear of the pin, resulting in a difference between the protruding position of the pin and the reference position. Therefore, a monitoring threshold is set in combination with the wear condition of the pin. When the deviation value is less than or equal to the monitoring threshold, it is considered that the protruding position and the reference position are equal, that is, the valve lift is successfully switched. When the deviation value is greater than the monitoring threshold, it is considered that there is a difference between the protruding position and the reference position, and situations such as the failure of the sliding sleeve thrust mechanism, pin fracture, excessive wear of the groove or pin may occur, that is, there is an abnormality in the valve lift switching.

[0061] Specifically, after the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, multiple groups of the current rotation angle and the protruding position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle can be determined, and whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched is determined according to the average value of the deviation values between the protruding positions of the pins and the reference position, improving the accuracy of judgment.

[0062] The advantage of such a setting is that it can quickly and accurately determine whether the valve lift is successfully switched according to the protruding position of the pin and the reference position, improving the judgment efficiency and speed.

[0063] After determining that the valve lift is successfully switched, control the pin to retract, which can reduce the contact time between the pin and the groove and reduce the wear of the pin.

[0064] The technical solution of this embodiment is to determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft based on the first acquisition device; when it is determined that the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, determine the protruding position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle based on the second acquisition device; determine the deviation value between the protruding position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle; determine whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value. The embodiment of the present invention can detect the rotation angle of the camshaft in real time. When the rotation angle of the camshaft is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, it is determined that the state of the pin is in the pin retraction section, and the pin is not retracted first, and the pin is kept in the protruding state, and the sliding sleeve pushes the pin back. By comparing the protruding position of the pin and the reference position, it is determined whether the valve lift is successfully switched. When the difference between the protruding position of the pin and the reference position is within the preset range, it is determined that the valve lift is successfully switched, so as to accurately determine whether the valve lift is successfully switched. It solves the problem that when the sliding sleeve thrust mechanism fails, the pin breaks, or the groove or pin is excessively worn, the ECU can only control the expansion and contraction of the pin and measure the position of the pin, and cannot infer the position of the sliding sleeve through the position and movement of the pin to determine whether the valve lift is successfully switched.

[0065] Embodiment Two

[0066] Figure 4FIG. 0 is a schematic flowchart of a method for judging the valve lift switching action provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations such as judging whether the valve lift is successfully switched. This method can be executed by the judging device for the valve lift switching action provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. In a specific embodiment, the device can be integrated in an electronic device. The following embodiments will be described by taking the device integrated in the electronic device as an example. Refer to Figure 4 , the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0067] S201. Obtain the reference angle of the camshaft; determine the rotation angle of the camshaft based on the first acquisition device; and determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft according to the rotation angle and the reference angle.

[0068] There is no absolute measurement standard for the rotation angle of the camshaft. Therefore, a reference angle needs to be set to measure the rotation of the camshaft during the valve lift switching process. Specifically, the reference angle can be understood as the position of the camshaft when the valve lift starts to switch. During the valve lift switching process, the camshaft rotates continuously. The first acquisition device can obtain the position of the camshaft in real time, determine the rotation angle of the camshaft, and determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft according to the difference between the rotation angle of the camshaft and the reference angle.

[0069] Specifically, the first acquisition device includes a camshaft position sensor, a crankshaft position sensor, etc. The camshaft position sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the camshaft, and the crankshaft position sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the crankshaft. There is a certain corresponding relationship between the rotation of the camshaft and the rotation of the crankshaft. For example, when the camshaft rotates one circle, the crankshaft rotates two circles. The rotation angle of the camshaft can also be obtained by measuring the rotation angle of the crankshaft.

[0070] S202. When it is determined that the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, determine the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle based on the second acquisition device.

[0071] Specifically, the second acquisition device includes a pin position sensor, and the pin position sensor is used to detect the extended position of the pin.

[0072] S203. Determine the deviation value between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle.

[0073] Specifically, before determining the deviation value between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle, it further includes: matching the current rotation angle in the correspondence table of the camshaft angle and the pin position, and determining the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle according to the matching result.

[0074] Among them, the correspondence table between the camshaft angle and the pin position can be understood as the extended position of the pin corresponding to the calculated camshaft angle. For example, the extended position of the pin corresponding to the camshaft angle under ideal conditions, the extended position of the pin corresponding to the camshaft angle calculated in combination with the pin wear condition, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0075] Exemplarily, after determining the current rotation angle of the camshaft, by looking up the correspondence table between the camshaft angle and the pin position, the pin position corresponding to the current rotation angle in the correspondence table can be obtained, and the found pin position is the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle.

[0076] S204. Determine whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value.

[0077] Optionally, determining whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value includes: when the deviation value is less than or equal to a preset threshold, determining that the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched; when the deviation value is greater than the preset threshold, determining that the valve lift of the electronic device is switched fail.

[0078] Among them, the preset threshold can be understood as a standard for measuring whether the deviation value is within the acceptable range of the system. When the deviation value is within the acceptable range of the system, it is considered that the deviation between the extended position of the pin and the reference position is acceptable to the system, that is, the extended position of the pin is correct, and it is determined that the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched; when the deviation value is not within the acceptable range of the system, it is considered that the extended position of the pin is unreasonable and there is an abnormality, and it is determined that the valve lift of the electronic device is switched fail.

[0079] When it is determined that the valve lift of the electronic device is switched fail, it further includes: sending a reminder that the valve lift is switched fail.

[0080] Optionally, after sending the reminder that the valve lift is switched fail, it further includes: determining the number of times of the reminder that the valve lift is switched fail; when the number is greater than the abnormal threshold, determining that the electronic device has a fault, retracting the pin, and sending a fault prompt message.

[0081] Among them, the electronic device can be understood as a device including a valve lift switching system, such as an automobile, etc.; the abnormal threshold can be understood as a basis for determining whether the valve lift switching system fails. When the valve lift is continuously switched fail and the number of failures is greater than the abnormal threshold, it is considered that there is a fault in the valve lift switching system of the electronic device and it needs to be repaired.

[0082] In order to more accurately determine whether the electronic device has a fault, when the valve lift is successfully switched, the number of times of the reminder that the valve lift is switched fail will be cleared. Only when the valve lift is continuously switched fail and the number of failures is greater than the abnormal threshold, will it be considered that the electronic device has a fault.

[0083] Specifically, after the valve lift switching failure reminder is issued, the pin remains in the extended state, and the valve lift switching system can continue to execute the next switching task. If the next switching task is successful, the pin retracts. If it fails, the pin continues to be in the extended state until the valve lift switching is successful or it is determined that the electronic device has a fault, and then the control pin retracts.

[0084] The technical solution of this embodiment is to obtain the reference angle of the camshaft; determine the rotation angle of the camshaft based on the first acquisition device; determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft according to the rotation angle and the reference angle; when it is determined that the current rotation angle is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, determine the extended position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle based on the second acquisition device; determine the deviation value between the extended position of the pin and the reference position of the pin corresponding to the current rotation angle; and determine whether the valve lift of the electronic device is successfully switched according to the deviation value. The embodiment of the present invention can detect the rotation angle of the camshaft in real time, determine the current rotation angle of the camshaft according to the rotation angle of the camshaft and the reference angle of the camshaft. When the current rotation angle of the camshaft is greater than or equal to the preset angle threshold, it is determined that the state of the pin is in the pin retraction section, and the pin is not retracted first, and the extended state of the pin is maintained. The sliding sleeve pushes the pin back, and by comparing the extended position of the pin and the reference position, it is determined whether the valve lift is successfully switched. When the difference between the extended position of the pin and the reference position is within the preset range, it is determined that the valve lift switching is successful, so as to accurately judge whether the valve lift switching is successful. It solves the problem that when the sliding sleeve thrust mechanism fails, the pin breaks, the groove or the pin is excessively worn, the ECU can only control the expansion and contraction of the pin and measure the position of the pin, and cannot infer the position of the sliding sleeve through the position and movement of the pin to judge whether the valve lift switching is successful.
