[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the term "multiple" means two or more than two, and other quantifiers similar thereto should be understood as such. The preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application, and the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] To further illustrate the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the following will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. Although the embodiments of the present application provide the method operation steps as described in the following embodiments or shown in the drawings, more or less operation steps can be included in the method based on conventional or non-creative labor. The execution order of the steps is not limited to the execution order provided by the embodiments of the present application in the logical sense. The method can be executed in sequence or in parallel when the method is executed in actual processing or by a control device.

[0036] In view of the related art, when the pressure difference between the two ends of the MAF sensor changes, the measured intake air flow of the MAF is inaccurate, especially when there is foreign matter in the filter screen in the steady flow pipe, the pressure difference changes greatly, and the measured intake air flow is more inaccurate, causing the vehicle to appear black smoke, power shortage and other problems. The present application provides an intake air flow control method and device, and an electronic device, which can ensure normal operation of the engine.

[0037] Other features and advantages of the present application will be described in the following specification, and some will become apparent from the specification, or will be understood by those skilled in the art. The purpose and other advantages of the present application can be achieved and obtained by the structure specifically pointed out in the written specification, claims, and drawings.

[0038] The terms involved in the present application are explained as follows:

[0039] MAF sensor: generally arranged behind the engine air filter. The MAF sensor is a hot film type intake air flow sensor. It generates a temperature gradient on the sensor chip according to the different heat carried by the gas flowing through the sensor at different flow rates, and converts the temperature gradient into a frequency signal through the internal circuit; the vehicle controller receives the frequency signal, and through the data calibrated frequency and flow characteristic curve, obtains the corresponding intake air flow value.

[0040] Steady flow pipe: a section of the engine intake pipe, used to install the MAF sensor, which can stabilize the airflow.

[0041] The intake flow control device and method in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 , a schematic diagram of an intake flow control device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0043] As Figure 1 indicated, the intake flow control device of the present application comprises:

[0044] A steady flow pipe 1 and a filter screen 2 arranged at the intake port of the steady flow pipe;

[0045] An air flow sensor 3 arranged on the pipe body of the steady flow pipe 1 for measuring the intake air flow;

[0046] A differential pressure sensor 4 arranged on the filter screen 2 for measuring the differential pressure before and after the filter screen, the bleed air pipe upstream of the filter screen 2 is connected to the high pressure end of the differential pressure sensor 4, and the bleed air pipe downstream of the filter screen 2 is connected to the low pressure end of the differential pressure sensor 4.

[0047] Specifically, in the present application, a differential pressure sensor 4 is additionally arranged before and after the filter screen 2 of the steady flow pipe 1, and the device further comprises a vehicle controller connected to the differential pressure sensor 4, which is used to control the differential pressure value monitored by the differential pressure sensor 4 and control the intake air flow through the control logic. The differential pressure sensor is used to detect the differential pressure value between the two ends of the filter screen 2 in real time, for example, the pressure of the bleed air pipe upstream of the filter screen 2 connected to the high pressure end of the differential pressure sensor 4 is P2, and the pressure of the bleed air pipe downstream of the filter screen 2 connected to the low pressure end of the differential pressure sensor 4 is P1, then the filter screen differential pressure PC of the steady flow pipe 1 is P2-P1.

[0048] In the present application, a differential pressure sensor is added before and after the filter screen, which can monitor the differential pressure between the two ends of the filter screen in real time, take necessary cleaning measures in real time, ensure that the intake air flow remains unobstructed, and the engine can work normally.

[0049] Figure 2 A flowchart of an intake flow control method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, comprising:

[0050] Step 201: Real-time monitoring of air flow by the air flow sensor and real-time monitoring of the pressure difference before and after the filter screen by the differential pressure sensor.

[0051] Real-time acquisition of the air flow monitored by the air flow sensor flowing through the steady flow pipe, and real-time acquisition of the pressure difference before and after the filter screen measured by the differential pressure sensor.

[0052] Step 202: Based on the first corresponding relationship of the preset air flow and pressure difference threshold value, determine the pressure difference threshold value corresponding to the current air flow.

[0053] Specifically, the first corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship between the pre-recorded pressure difference threshold value corresponding to each air flow of the steady flow pipe and the air flow. Based on the first corresponding relationship and the current air flow, the current pressure difference threshold value is determined.

[0054] Step 203: When the current pressure difference corresponding to the current air flow is less than or equal to the pressure difference threshold value, determine the first flow compensation value corresponding to the current pressure difference based on the second corresponding relationship of the preset pressure difference and flow compensation value, and compensate the current air flow based on the first flow compensation value.

[0055] By comparing the current pressure difference with the pressure difference threshold value, the state of the current filter screen is determined, specifically:

[0056] 1) When the current pressure difference corresponding to the current air flow is less than or equal to the pressure difference threshold value;

[0057] It is proved that the clogging degree of the current filter screen is within a normal range, and the filter screen does not need to be cleaned, only the current air flow needs to be compensated.

[0058] The second corresponding relationship is that the corresponding flow compensation values under different pressure differences are verified by bench test.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, the second corresponding relationship is established by the following method:

[0060] Determine the flow difference between the ideal air flow corresponding to different pressure differences and the actual air flow measured by the air flow sensor; based on the flow difference, determine the flow compensation value corresponding to different pressure differences, and establish the second corresponding relationship of the pressure difference and the flow compensation value.

[0061] Specifically, the flow compensation value is used to compensate the actual air flow to reach the ideal air flow, that is, if the filter screen is clogged but not yet to the point where it needs to be cleaned, the actual air flow is compensated and corrected by the flow compensation value.

[0062] The second corresponding relationship is a corresponding relationship between a pressure difference and a flow compensation value, and a flow difference between an actual flow and an ideal air flow corresponding to different pressure differences is determined in advance, and the flow difference is the flow compensation value, that is, the actual air flow is compensated according to the flow difference.

[0063] 2) when the current pressure difference corresponding to the current air flow is greater than the pressure difference threshold value;

[0064] It is proved that the filter screen is seriously blocked by foreign matters, and the filter screen must be cleaned.

[0065] As an optional implementation, when the current pressure difference corresponding to the current air flow is greater than the pressure difference threshold value, a request for cleaning the filter screen is sent out.

[0066] When the filter screen needs to be cleaned, a state signal corresponding to the request for cleaning the filter screen is transmitted to the vehicle controller. As an optional implementation, if the filter screen needs to be cleaned, an indicator lamp associated with the filter screen is set to a preset color.

[0067] Specifically, different lighting modes of the indicator lamp represent different conditions of the filter screen of the steady flow pipe, and when the indicator lamp associated with the filter screen is red, the filter screen needs to be cleaned due to blockage of foreign matters.

[0068] The application can accurately and timely control the intake flow, timely remind the driver, quickly locate the fault cause for maintenance, and timely correct the flow compensation value through the pre-set flow compensation value, so as to ensure that the air flow sensor accurately measures the intake amount and ensures the normal performance of the engine.
