Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and particularly to a control method, device, equipment and readable storage medium for an electronically controlled silicone oil fan. Background Art

[0002] A silicone oil fan is a structure on a motor vehicle used to cool an intercooler in an engine system. The silicone oil fan is connected and rotated through an input shaft of an active structure to an engine crankshaft, and silicone oil is injected into a cavity between the active structure and a driven structure, and the high shear viscosity of the silicone oil is used to drive the driven structure and the heat dissipation blades connected to the driven structure to rotate. The silicone oil fan controls the magnitude of the shear viscosity provided by the silicone oil by using different amounts of silicone oil in the cavity, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotational speed of the heat dissipation blades.

[0003] During the operation of an electronically controlled silicone oil fan, when the target operating speed of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is greater than the maximum speed of the silicone oil fan corresponding to the current engine speed, since the actual speed of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan cannot reach the target operating speed, then the electronically controlled silicone oil fan will inject too much silicone oil into the cavity in order to increase the actual speed, resulting in the electronically controlled silicone oil fan entering the full engagement state. After entering the full engagement state, if the target operating speed of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is reduced at this time, then due to too much silicone oil in the cavity, it is difficult for the electronically controlled silicone oil fan to disengage and it is difficult to reduce the actual speed, resulting in a situation where the operating state of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is out of control. Since the torque required for the silicone oil fan to rotate at the maximum speed corresponding to the engine speed is relatively large, the full engagement state of the silicone oil fan will affect the fuel economy and power performance of the whole vehicle. In addition, the higher the rotational speed of the silicone oil fan, the greater the noise generated, so the full engagement state of the silicone oil fan will also affect the comfort of the user driving the motor vehicle.

[0053] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. However, the exemplary embodiments can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein; on the contrary, these embodiments make the present invention more comprehensive and complete, and convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art in an all-round way. The same reference numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar structures, so the repeated description thereof will be omitted. The words expressing positions and directions described in the present invention are all illustrated with the drawings as examples, but can be changed according to needs, and all changes made are included in the protection scope of the present invention. The drawings of the present invention are only used to illustrate the relative position relationship and do not represent the true proportion.

[0054] It should be noted that specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation manners disclosed below. The subsequent description of the specification is the preferred implementation manner for implementing the present application, but the description is for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the present application and is not used to limit the scope of the present application. The protection scope of the present application shall be defined by the appended claims.

[0055] The following specifically describes the electronic control silicone oil fan control method, device, equipment, and readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings.

[0056] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic control method for a silicone oil fan, as Figure 1 shown, including:

[0057] S110. Obtain the engine speed, the average engine load rate, and the coolant temperature in real time.

[0058] S120. Determine the input speed of the silicone oil fan according to the engine speed and the transmission speed ratio of the electronic control silicone oil fan.

[0059] S130. Determine a transmission correction factor according to the input speed, determine a load correction factor according to the average engine load rate, and determine a temperature correction factor according to the coolant temperature.

[0060] S140. Use the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor, and the temperature correction factor to determine the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio, and determine the full engagement critical speed according to the input speed and the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio.

[0061] In a specific implementation process, the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor, and the coolant temperature correction factor can respectively determine specific values through pre-calibrated corresponding relationships. That is, the transmission correction factor is determined according to the input speed by using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship between the input speed and the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor is determined according to the average engine load rate by using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship between the average engine load rate and the load correction factor, and the temperature correction factor is determined according to the coolant temperature by using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship between the coolant temperature and the temperature correction factor. Among them, the corresponding relationship between the input speed and the transmission correction factor satisfies the principle that when other parameters are the same, the greater the input speed, the greater the value of the transmission correction factor will make the full engagement critical speed. The corresponding relationship between the average engine load rate and the load correction factor satisfies the principle that when other parameters are the same, the greater the average engine load rate, the greater the value of the load correction factor will make the full engagement critical speed. The corresponding relationship between the engine coolant temperature and the temperature correction factor satisfies the principle that when other parameters are the same, the greater the relevant parameters of the coolant temperature, the greater the value of the temperature correction factor will make the full engagement critical speed.

[0062] S150. Determine the target speed according to the full engagement critical speed.

[0063] S160. Control the silicone oil injection amount of the electronic control silicone oil fan so that the electronic control silicone oil fan operates at the target speed.

[0064] In this way, in the embodiment of the present invention, by comprehensively considering the requirements of the transmission efficiency between the electronically controlled silicone oil fan and the engine, the engine load, and the coolant temperature and other influencing factors on the coolant cooling efficiency, the fully engaged critical speed is obtained, and the final target speed is determined according to the given fully engaged critical speed, and the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is controlled to operate at the target speed, so as to reduce the probability of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan entering the fully engaged state, and further improve the performance of the motor vehicle in terms of power, economy, and noise control under most working conditions.

[0065] Further, as Figure 2 shown, S150, determining the target speed according to the fully engaged critical speed specifically includes:

[0066] S151. Judge whether the preset speed is less than the fully engaged critical speed.

[0067] If the result of step S151 is yes, execute step S152; if the result of step S151 is no, execute step S153.

[0068] S152. Determine the preset speed as the target speed.

[0069] S153. Judge whether the current coolant temperature is greater than the preset temperature.

[0070] If the result of step S153 is yes, execute step S154; if the result of step S153 is no, execute step S155.

[0071] S154. Determine the input speed as the target speed.

[0072] S155. Determine the fully engaged critical speed as the target speed.

[0073] In this way, in the process of determining the target speed, by selecting the smaller speed as the target speed according to the magnitude relationship between the fully engaged critical speed and the preset speed, the occurrence of the out-of-control situation where the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is difficult to disengage the silicone oil for deceleration due to being in the fully engaged state can be reduced. In addition, while considering the requirement of preventing full engagement, it is also taken into account whether the current coolant temperature is too high and needs to be cooled with the maximum efficiency, so as to cool the coolant as soon as possible when the coolant temperature is too high to ensure the working efficiency of the engine and avoid overheating failures.

[0074] Further, the temperature correction factor includes the current actual temperature correction factor and the temperature change correction factor.

[0075] The determining the temperature correction factor according to the coolant temperature includes:

[0076] Determining the current actual temperature correction factor according to the current coolant temperature;

[0077] Determine the current coolant temperature change rate based on the coolant temperature within a preset duration up to the current moment, and determine the temperature change correction factor according to the current coolant temperature change rate.

[0078] In the specific implementation process, the current actual temperature correction factor can be determined according to the current coolant temperature by using the pre-calibrated correspondence between the coolant temperature and the current actual temperature correction factor, and the temperature change correction factor can be determined according to the current coolant temperature change rate by using the pre-calibrated correspondence between the coolant temperature change rate and the temperature change correction factor. Among them, the correspondence between the coolant temperature and the current actual temperature correction factor satisfies the principle that, under the condition that other parameters are the same, the higher the coolant temperature, the larger the value of the current actual temperature correction factor makes the full engagement critical speed. The correspondence between the coolant temperature change rate and the temperature change correction factor satisfies the principle that, under the condition that other parameters are the same, the higher the coolant temperature change rate (the temperature change rate of temperature rise is recorded as a positive value, and the temperature change rate of temperature drop is recorded as a negative value), the larger the value of the temperature change correction factor makes the full engagement critical speed.

[0079] In this way, in the process of determining the full engagement critical speed according to the coolant temperature, in addition to considering the influence of the current temperature on the rotational speed requirement of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan, the influence of the change trend of the coolant temperature on the rotational speed requirement of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is also considered, so that a more reasonable full engagement critical speed can be given.

[0080] Further, the transmission correction factor includes the slip rate of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan and the offset correction factor;

[0081] The determining of the transmission correction factor according to the input rotational speed includes:

[0082] Determine the slip rate according to the input rotational speed by using the pre-calibrated slip rate change relationship of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan;

[0083] Determine the offset correction factor according to the input rotational speed by using the pre-calibrated full engagement critical speed offset change relationship.

[0084] Through calibration tests, generally, the slip rate change relationship satisfies the principle that, under the condition that other parameters are the same, the higher the input rotational speed, the larger the slip rate of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan. The full engagement critical speed offset change relationship can consider the phenomenon that the disengagement time of the full engagement state of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is longer at low input rotational speeds and shorter at higher input rotational speeds of the full engagement state. The calibrated full engagement critical speed offset change relationship satisfies the principle that, under the condition that other parameters are the same, the higher the input rotational speed, the larger the value of the offset correction factor makes the full engagement critical speed.

[0085] Further, to avoid the value of the full engagement critical speed being too large or too small, this problem can be avoided by setting the upper and lower limits of the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio. As Figure 3 shown, in the step S140, determining the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio by using the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor, and the temperature correction factor includes:

[0086] S141. Determine a first speed adjustment ratio of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan by using the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor, and the temperature correction factor.

[0087] S142. Determine whether the first speed adjustment ratio is greater than or equal to a second speed adjustment ratio and less than or equal to a third speed adjustment ratio. Wherein, the second speed adjustment ratio and the third speed adjustment ratio are preset speed adjustment ratios, and the second speed adjustment ratio is less than the third speed adjustment ratio.

[0088] If the first speed adjustment ratio is greater than or equal to the second speed adjustment ratio and less than or equal to the third speed adjustment ratio, execute step S143; if the first speed adjustment ratio is less than the second speed adjustment ratio, execute step S144; if the first speed adjustment ratio is greater than the third speed adjustment ratio, execute step S145.

[0089] S143. Determine the first speed adjustment ratio as the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio.

[0090] S144. Determine the second speed adjustment ratio as the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio.

[0091] S145. Determine the third speed adjustment ratio as the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio.

[0092] The following gives an example to illustrate the above solution with the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio being the ratio of the difference between the input speed and the full engagement critical speed to the input speed.

[0093] As Figure 4 shown, after obtaining the engine speed, the engine average load rate, and the coolant temperature in real time, the target speed is specifically determined through the following steps:

[0094] ① Multiply the engine speed by the transmission speed ratio of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan to obtain the input speed of the silicone oil fan.

[0095] ② Determine the slip rate according to the input speed by using the pre-calibrated slip rate change relationship CUR1 of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan.

[0096] Wherein, the corresponding relationship CUR1 satisfies the rule that the higher the input speed, the greater the slip rate.

[0097] ③Determine the offset correction factor according to the input rotational speed using the pre-calibrated full-engagement critical rotational speed offset change relationship CUR2.

[0098] Among them, in order to match the change relationship of the slip ratio, the corresponding relationship CUR2 can be calibrated to satisfy the law that the higher the input rotational speed, the smaller the offset correction factor under the condition that other parameters are the same. The value range of the offset correction factor is set to [0, 100%].

[0099] ④Subtract the offset correction factor from the slip ratio to obtain the first calculated correction factor.

[0100] ⑤Determine the load correction factor according to the average engine load rate using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship CUR3 between the average engine load rate and the load correction factor.

[0101] Among them, the corresponding relationship CUR3 satisfies the law that the higher the average engine load rate, the smaller the load correction factor. The value range of the load correction factor is set to [0, 100%].

[0102] ⑥Multiply the first calculated correction factor by the load correction factor to obtain the second calculated correction factor.

[0103] ⑦Determine the current actual temperature correction factor according to the current coolant temperature using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship CUR4 between the coolant temperature and the current actual temperature correction factor.

[0104] Among them, the corresponding relationship CUR4 satisfies the law that the higher the coolant temperature, the smaller the current actual temperature correction factor. The value range of the current actual temperature correction factor is set to [0, 100%].

[0105] ⑧Determine the current coolant temperature change rate according to the coolant temperature within the preset duration up to the current moment, and determine the temperature change correction factor according to the current coolant temperature change rate using the pre-calibrated corresponding relationship CUR5 between the coolant temperature change rate and the temperature change correction factor.

[0106] Among them, the corresponding relationship CUR5 satisfies the law that the higher the coolant temperature change rate, the smaller the temperature change correction factor. The value range of the temperature change correction factor is set to [0, 100%].

[0107] ⑨Multiply the current actual temperature correction factor by the temperature change correction factor to obtain the third calculated correction factor.

[0108] ⑩Multiply the second correction factor by the third calculated correction factor to obtain the first rotational speed adjustment ratio.

[0109] ⑪ Determine whether the first rotational speed adjustment ratio is greater than or equal to the second rotational speed adjustment ratio and less than or equal to the third rotational speed adjustment ratio: If the first rotational speed adjustment ratio is greater than or equal to the second rotational speed adjustment ratio and less than or equal to the third rotational speed adjustment ratio, output the first rotational speed adjustment ratio; if the first rotational speed adjustment ratio is less than the second rotational speed adjustment ratio, output the second rotational speed adjustment ratio; if the first rotational speed adjustment ratio is greater than the third rotational speed adjustment ratio, output the third rotational speed adjustment ratio.

[0110] ⑫ Subtract the output adjustment ratio from 100% to obtain the full engagement critical speed ratio.

[0111] ⑬ Multiply the input rotational speed by the full engagement critical speed ratio to obtain the full engagement critical speed.

[0112] ⑭ Determine whether the preset rotational speed is less than the full engagement critical speed. If so, output the preset rotational speed; if not, output the full engagement critical speed.

[0113] ⑮ Determine whether the current coolant temperature is greater than the preset temperature. If so, output the input rotational speed; if not, output the full engagement critical speed. Take the finally output result as the target rotational speed.

[0114] It should be noted that the above example is only a feasible implementation method. It is also possible to appropriately change the operation relationship of the correction factors in the calculation process, and then the corresponding change relationship of the values of each correction factor is also changed accordingly. For example, if the full engagement critical speed adjustment ratio is set as the ratio of the full engagement critical speed to the input rotational speed, then step ⑫ is not required in the above process, and the law of each corresponding relationship CUR is also opposite to the content described above.

[0115] When the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is matched with a motor vehicle, due to the different performance parameters of the transmission structures of different vehicle models, when the engine rotational speed is the same, the input shaft rotational speed of the clutch will be different due to the different speed ratios used in the transmission systems of different vehicle models, and the same clutch cannot use the same data. Therefore, it is particularly important to accurately identify the speed ratio and calculate the input shaft rotational speed based on the non-slip condition. Optionally, as Figure 5 shown, the transmission speed ratio of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan is determined by the following method:

[0116] S210. Determine whether the engine is in a cold start state.

[0117] If the result of step S210 is yes, execute step S220; if the result of step S210 is no, continue to wait until the result is yes.

[0118] In the specific implementation process, after obtaining the engine start signal, engine operating condition parameters can be obtained and it can be determined whether the engine is in a cold start state according to the operating condition parameters. The operating condition parameters can specifically include the ambient temperature, oil temperature, coolant temperature, engine speed, etc. during engine operation, which can be collected by various sensors inside the engine.

[0119] S220. Determine whether the cumulative cold start times of the engine are less than a preset threshold.

[0120] If the result of step S220 is yes, execute step S230; if the result of step S220 is no, execute step S250.

[0121] S230. Obtain the engine speed and the silicon oil fan speed.

[0122] S240. Determine the measured transmission speed ratio according to the engine speed and the electronically controlled silicon oil fan speed. After the cold start state of the engine ends, return to step S210.

[0123] S250. Determine the transmission speed ratio according to each of the measured transmission speed ratios.

[0124] In the specific implementation process, in step S250, some mathematical processing can be performed on the measured transmission speed ratio determined during each cold start of the engine to determine the result of the final transmission speed ratio, such as taking the average value, taking the average value after removing the maximum and minimum values, taking the median value, adding a preset empirical value for correction, taking an approximate value, etc. After calculating the transmission speed ratio once, the calculated value can be saved non-volatile (for example, saved to an Erasable Read-Only Memory (EROM)), so that it is not necessary to calculate again when the engine starts again.

[0125] Further, as Figure 6 shown, step S160, controlling the silicon oil injection amount of the electronically controlled silicon oil fan so that the electronically controlled silicon oil fan operates at the target speed, includes:

[0126] S161. Determine whether the current speed of the electronically controlled silicon oil fan is less than or equal to the target speed.

[0127] If the result of step S161 is yes, execute step S162; if the result of step S161 is no, execute step S163.

[0128] S162. Open the silicon oil valve of the electronically controlled silicon oil fan to inject silicon oil into the electronically controlled silicon oil fan to increase the speed of the electronically controlled silicon oil fan.

[0129] S163. Close the silicone oil valve of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan, so that silicone oil cannot be injected into the electronically controlled silicone oil fan to reduce the rotational speed of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan.

[0130] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronically controlled silicone oil fan control device, as Figure 7 shown, including:

[0131] A data acquisition module M1, configured to acquire the engine speed, the average engine load rate, and the coolant temperature in real time;

[0132] A rotational speed calculation module M2, which determines the input rotational speed of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan according to the engine speed and the transmission speed ratio of the electronically controlled silicone oil fan; determines a transmission correction factor according to the input rotational speed, determines a load correction factor according to the average engine load rate, and determines a temperature correction factor according to the coolant temperature; determines a full engagement critical rotational speed adjustment ratio by using the transmission correction factor, the load correction factor, and the temperature correction factor, determines the full engagement critical rotational speed according to the input rotational speed and the full engagement critical rotational speed adjustment ratio; and determines the target rotational speed according to the full engagement critical rotational speed;
