Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly to a cylinder head temperature control method and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The cylinder head of an engine is an important component to ensure the normal operation of the engine. In a high-altitude environment, due to the thin air, the intake air volume of the engine decreases, causing an increase in the internal heat load of the cylinder, which easily leads to an excessively high temperature of the cylinder head, even exceeding the temperature resistance limit of the cylinder head, resulting in failures such as cracking of the cylinder head, presenting significant potential safety hazards. Moreover, in a plain environment, if the intake air temperature of the engine is too high, it may also cause an excessively high internal heat load of the cylinder, damaging the cylinder head. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature of the cylinder head within a reasonable range to ensure that the engine has excellent performance and avoid potential safety hazards. In the prior art, a wax thermostat and a radiator are used to cool the cooling water from the cylinder head. The stationary paraffin in the temperature-sensitive body of the wax thermostat melts as the temperature of the cooling water rises. When the temperature of the cooling water reaches the set temperature, the wax thermostat will open, guiding the cooling water from the cylinder head to the radiator for cooling. However, the opening condition of the wax thermostat is that when the temperature of the cooling water reaches a certain fixed temperature, and it is unable to change the timing of opening the thermostat according to the vehicle's environment and the actual operating conditions of the engine. There may be a situation of opening the thermostat too early or too late. Opening the thermostat too early will result in excessive fuel consumption, and opening the thermostat too late will cause the cylinder head to overheat and be damaged, presenting potential safety hazards.

[0045] Advantages of the present invention:

The cylinder head temperature control method obtains a cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value and a heating-up time limit value according to the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, actual engine intake air temperature, and cylinder head temperature resistance limit value. When the actual cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature is greater than or equal to the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value, and the duration during which the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, and actual engine intake air temperature remain stable and unchanged at this time is also greater than or equal to the heating-up time limit value, the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan are turned on to cool the cooling water, and the engine oil temperature at this time is recorded as the oil temperature record value. After the fan has been operating continuously for a set time, it is determined whether the actual cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature is less than the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value; if so, the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan are turned off, achieving the purpose of cooling the cylinder head; if not, it is determined whether the actual engine oil temperature is less than the oil temperature record value; if the actual engine oil temperature is not less than the oil temperature record value, the vehicle alarm protection strategy is executed. If the actual cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature is not less than the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value, and the actual engine oil temperature is not less than the oil temperature record value, it proves that the purpose of cooling the cylinder head has not been achieved, the cylinder head temperature may be continuously rising, there is a certain safety risk, and the vehicle alarm protection strategy needs to be executed.

Moreover, after the electronic thermostat and the fan have been turned on for a set time, if the actual cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature is still not less than the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value, it is determined whether the actual engine oil temperature is less than the oil temperature record value. If the actual engine oil temperature is not less than the oil temperature record value, the vehicle alarm protection strategy is executed. Adding the comparison between the actual engine oil temperature and the oil temperature record value can prevent misjudgment caused by damage to the cooling water temperature sensor for detecting the cooling water temperature, and improve the accuracy of cylinder head temperature control, the fuel economy of engine operation, and the safety of vehicle driving.

It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the present invention rather than all the structures are shown in the drawings.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0053] The present invention provides a cylinder head temperature control method, as Figure 1 shown, the cylinder head temperature control method includes:

[0054] S1: Real-time detect the ambient temperature and ambient pressure of the vehicle, as well as the actual engine speed, actual engine torque, actual engine intake temperature, and actual cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature.

[0055] S2: Obtain the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit value and the heating time limit value according to the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, actual engine intake temperature, and the cylinder head temperature resistance limit value.

[0056] Among them, the temperature resistance limit value of the cylinder head is determined according to the material of the cylinder head.

[0057] Specifically, according to the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, actual engine intake temperature, and the temperature resistance limit value of the cylinder head, the outlet water temperature limit value of the cylinder head cooling water is obtained through the first MAP group. Among them, the first MAP group includes the first plateau MAP and the first plain MAP; according to the ambient pressure, it is judged whether the vehicle is in a plateau or plain environment; if the vehicle is in a plateau environment, the outlet water temperature limit value of the cylinder head cooling water is obtained through the first plateau MAP; if the vehicle is in a plain environment, the outlet water temperature limit value of the cylinder head cooling water is obtained through the first plain MAP.

[0058] The first plateau MAP and the first plain MAP are obtained through the previous bench test of measuring the temperature of the cylinder head. When conducting the bench test of measuring the temperature of the cylinder head, the engine works at different speeds, different torques, and different intake temperatures under different ambient temperatures and different ambient pressures, and the corresponding outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water and the cylinder head temperature are recorded. Based on the temperature measurement results, a relationship diagram of the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, engine speed, engine torque, engine intake temperature, cylinder head temperature, and outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water can be obtained, that is, the first MAP group is obtained. The first plateau MAP is obtained by conducting the bench test of measuring the temperature of the cylinder head in a simulated plateau environment; the first plain MAP is obtained by conducting the bench test of measuring the temperature of the cylinder head in a simulated plain environment.

[0059] The outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water corresponding to when the cylinder head temperature reaches the temperature resistance limit value of the cylinder head is the outlet water temperature limit value of the cylinder head cooling water. Through the first MAP group, the outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water when the cylinder head temperature reaches the temperature resistance limit value of the cylinder head under different ambient temperatures, different ambient pressures, different engine speeds, different engine torques, and different engine intake temperatures can be obtained, that is, the outlet water temperature limit value of the cylinder head cooling water is obtained.

[0060] Specifically, according to the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, actual engine intake temperature, and the temperature resistance limit value of the cylinder head, the warm-up time limit value is obtained through the second MAP group. Among them, the second MAP group includes the second plateau MAP and the second plain MAP; according to the ambient pressure, it is judged whether the vehicle is in a plateau or plain environment; if the vehicle is in a plateau environment, the warm-up time limit value is obtained through the second plateau MAP; if the vehicle is in a plain environment, the warm-up time limit value is obtained through the second plain MAP.

[0061] The second plateau MAP and the second plain MAP are obtained through the previous bench cylinder head temperature measurement test. When conducting the cylinder head temperature measurement test, the engine operates at different speeds, different torques, and different intake temperatures under different ambient temperatures and different ambient pressures, and the cylinder head temperature is recorded corresponding to the increase in the engine operating time. Based on the temperature measurement results, a relationship diagram of ambient temperature, ambient pressure, engine speed, engine torque, engine intake temperature, engine operating time, and cylinder head temperature can be obtained, that is, the second MAP group is obtained. The second plateau MAP is obtained by conducting the cylinder head temperature measurement test in a simulated plateau environment; the second plain MAP is obtained by conducting the cylinder head temperature measurement test in a simulated plain environment.

[0062] The engine operating time corresponding to when the cylinder head temperature reaches the cylinder head temperature resistance limit is the heating time limit. That is, under a certain ambient temperature and a certain ambient pressure, when the engine operates at a certain speed, a certain torque, and a certain intake temperature, the cylinder head temperature will gradually increase. The engine operating time when the cylinder head temperature rises from 0°C to the cylinder head temperature resistance limit is the heating time limit. Thus, through the second MAP group, the engine operating time when the cylinder head temperature reaches the cylinder head temperature resistance limit under different ambient temperatures, different ambient pressures, different engine speeds, different engine torques, and different engine intake temperatures can be obtained, that is, the heating time limit is obtained.

[0063] S3: Determine whether the actual cooling water outlet temperature of the cylinder head is greater than or equal to the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit; if so, proceed to S4; if not, return to S1.

[0064] S4: Calculate the duration during which the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, and actual engine intake temperature remain stable and unchanged at this time. That is, calculate the duration during which the ambient temperature, ambient pressure, actual engine speed, actual engine torque, and actual engine intake temperature remain stable and unchanged when the actual cooling water outlet temperature of the cylinder head is greater than or equal to the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature limit.

[0065] S5: Determine whether the duration is greater than or equal to the heating time limit; if so, record the engine oil temperature at this time as the oil temperature record value, and proceed to S6; if not, return to S1.

[0066] S6: Turn on the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan, and the fan operates continuously for a set time. When the duration is greater than or equal to the heating time limit, record the engine oil temperature, and turn on the electronic thermostat and the fan to allow the cooling water to pass through the radiator. After the fan cools the cooling water, the cooling water returns to the cylinder head cooling water channel to achieve the purpose of reducing the cylinder head temperature.

[0067] S7: Determine whether the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water is less than the limit value of the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature; if so, close the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan; if not, proceed to S8. After the set time for turning on the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan, compare the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head with the limit value of the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature again for closed-loop control. When the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head is less than the limit value of the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature, close the electronic thermostat and the radiator fan.

[0068] S8: Determine whether the actual engine oil temperature is less than the recorded oil temperature value; if not, execute the vehicle alarm protection strategy.

[0069] Specifically, the vehicle alarm protection strategy includes: giving an alarm for abnormal cylinder head temperature; controlling the actual engine speed to be less than or equal to the set speed, and the actual engine torque to be less than or equal to the set torque. When the radiator is damaged or the engine is in an extreme environment and the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water cannot be lowered and continues to rise, in order to avoid damage to the cylinder head, after turning on the electronic thermostat and the fan, when the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water is not less than the limit value of the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature and the actual engine oil temperature is not less than the recorded oil temperature value, give an alarm for abnormal cylinder head temperature on the vehicle dashboard to remind the driver to pay attention. At the same time, limit the actual engine speed not to be greater than the set speed and the actual engine torque not to be greater than the set torque to ensure the safety of vehicle driving.

[0070] Optionally, if the actual engine oil temperature is less than the recorded oil temperature value, give an alarm for abnormal cooling water temperature sensor. To prevent misjudgment caused by damage to the cooling water temperature sensor, when the actual outlet water temperature of the cylinder head cooling water is not less than the limit value of the cylinder head cooling water outlet temperature and the actual engine oil temperature is less than the recorded oil temperature value, give an alarm for abnormal cooling water temperature sensor to remind the driver to check in time.

[0071] Specifically, the engine is equipped with an oil temperature sensor, and the actual engine oil temperature is detected by the oil temperature sensor.

[0072] The present invention also provides a vehicle that adopts the above cylinder head temperature control method. The vehicle includes an engine, a radiator, an electronic thermostat, and a water pump. The engine is provided with a cylinder head cooling water channel and a cylinder block cooling water channel. The outlet of the cylinder block cooling water channel is communicated with the inlet of the cylinder head cooling water channel. The radiator includes a radiator water tank and a fan, and the fan is used to cool the cooling water in the radiator water tank. The electronic thermostat has a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port is communicated with the outlet of the cylinder head cooling water channel, the second port is communicated with the input end of the water pump, and the third port is communicated with the inlet of the radiator water tank. The first port can be communicated with the second port or the third port. The outlet of the radiator water tank is communicated with the input end of the water pump, and the output end of the water pump is communicated with the inlet of the cylinder block cooling water channel.

[0073] When the electronic thermostat is opened, the first port and the third port are connected, and the cooling water returns to the cylinder head cooling water passage after passing through the electronic thermostat, the radiator, the water pump and the cylinder block cooling water passage from the cylinder head cooling water passage.

[0074] When the electronic thermostat is closed, the first port and the second port are connected, and the cooling water returns to the cylinder head cooling water passage after passing through the electronic thermostat, the water pump and the cylinder block cooling water passage from the cylinder head cooling water passage.

[0075] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention.
