[0040] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0041] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0042] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the control method of the engine cooling system according to the embodiment of the present application.

[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the engine cooling system 10 comprises a water pump 1, an engine control unit ECU 2, a water temperature sensor 3, an electronic fan 4, a condenser fan 5, a condenser 6, an air conditioner compressor 7, a thermostat 9 connected to the engine 8, and a radiator 11 connected to the thermostat. Among them, the ECU 2 is connected to the water temperature sensor 3 for detecting the coolant temperature of the engine 8; the water temperature sensor 3 is installed at the engine outlet for detecting the coolant temperature of the engine 8; the condenser fan 5, the condenser 6, the radiator 11, and the electronic fan 4 are installed in turn at the front end of the vehicle; the condenser fan 5 and the electronic fan 4 are connected to the ECU 2 respectively, and the ECU 2 controls the start and stop of the condenser fan 5 and the electronic fan 4 according to the temperature value measured by the water temperature sensor 3; the air conditioner compressor 7 is connected to the ECU 2, and the ECU 2 controls the start and stop of the air conditioner compressor 7.

[0044] Among them, the coolant mainly has a cooling effect. When the engine is running, the coolant is driven to circulate by the engine water pump providing pressure, which will take away the heat of these parts, causing the coolant temperature to rise, and the radiator to cool down. After cooling, it participates in the circulation again.

[0045] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 , the control method of the engine cooling system according to the embodiment of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step S101, judge whether the air conditioner compressor of the current vehicle is in an open state.

[0047] It can be understood that if the driver has the demand to open the air conditioner and has opened the air conditioner, it is determined that the air conditioner compressor of the current vehicle is in an open state; if the driver has no demand to open the air conditioner (i.e. the air conditioner is not opened), it is determined that the air conditioner compressor of the current vehicle is not in an open state.

[0048] Step S102: If the air conditioning compressor is not turned on, obtain the current temperature of the engine coolant and determine whether the current temperature is lower than the first preset temperature.

[0049] The first preset temperature can be a threshold set by the user, a threshold obtained through a limited number of experiments, or a threshold obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. Preferably, the first preset temperature is set to 75°C.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the vehicle is in motion, if the air conditioning compressor is not turned on, the current temperature of the engine coolant is detected by the water temperature sensor, and it is determined whether the current temperature of the engine coolant is less than 75°C.

[0051] Step S103: If the current temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the thermostat, condenser fan and electric fan are all turned off; otherwise, the condenser fan and thermostat are turned on so that the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat to cool the coolant through the radiator.

[0052] Understandably, if the current temperature of the engine coolant is less than 75°C, the thermostat is closed, and the ECU controls the condenser fan and electric fan to shut down, so the radiator does not participate in cooling the coolant. When the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 75°C, the condenser fan and thermostat are turned on. At this time, the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat and is cooled by the radiator.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after turning on the condenser fan and the thermostat, the method further includes: determining whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than a first preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, then turning off the condenser fan and turning on the electric fan, and when the current temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature, simultaneously turning on the condenser fan and the electric fan.

[0054] The second preset temperature and the third preset temperature can be thresholds preset by the user, thresholds obtained through a limited number of experiments, or thresholds obtained through a limited number of computer simulations. Preferably, the second preset temperature is set to 100℃ and the third preset temperature is set to 115℃.

[0055] Specifically, if the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 100℃, the ECU controls the condensing fan to be closed and the electronic fan to be turned on, so as to increase the air supply and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator, so as to ensure that the engine water temperature is below 115℃; if the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 115℃, the ECU controls the condensing fan to be turned on and the electronic fan to be turned on, so that the condensing fan and the electronic fan work simultaneously, so as to increase the air supply and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator, so as to ensure that the engine water temperature is below 118℃.

[0056] Further, in some embodiments, after judging whether the air conditioner compressor of the current vehicle is in an open state, further comprising: if the air conditioner compressor is in an open state, turning on the condensing fan to cool the condenser and obtain the current temperature of the engine coolant; judging whether the current temperature is less than a first preset temperature; if the current temperature is less than the first preset temperature, maintaining the current state of the condensing fan and the electronic fan unchanged, otherwise, closing the condensing fan and turning on the electronic fan to cool the condenser, and simultaneously turning on the thermostat, so that the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat to cool the coolant through the radiator.

[0057] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4 when the air conditioner compressor is in an open state during vehicle driving, the air conditioner compressor is turned on when the driver has an air conditioning demand, the ECU controls the condensing fan to be turned on to cool the condenser, and simultaneously obtains the current temperature of the engine coolant.

[0058] If the current temperature of the engine coolant is less than 75℃ and the thermostat is in a closed state, the ECU controls the electronic fan to be closed, and the radiator does not participate in the cooling of the coolant; when the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 75℃, the ECU controls the condensing fan to be closed and the electronic fan to be turned on to cool the condenser, at this time, the thermostat is turned on, the coolant enters the radiator, and the radiator cools the coolant.

[0059] Further, in some embodiments, after the condensing fan is closed and the electronic fan is turned on to cool the condenser, further comprising: judging whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the condensing fan is turned on again.

[0060] It can be understood that if the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 100℃, the ECU controls the condensing fan to be turned on again, and simultaneously turns on the electronic fan, so as to increase the air supply and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator, so as to ensure that the engine water temperature is below 115℃.

[0061] Further, in some embodiments, after the condenser fan is turned on again, further comprising: determining whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, turning off the air conditioner compressor, and maintaining the condenser fan and the electronic fan in the turned-on state.

[0062] It can be understood that, after the condenser fan is turned on again, if the current temperature of the engine coolant is greater than or equal to 115℃, at this time, the engine protection strategy is started, the ECU forcibly stops the air conditioner compressor, while maintaining the condenser fan and the electronic fan in the turned-on state, increasing the air supply, improving the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator, and ensuring that the engine water temperature is below 118℃.

[0063] Further, in some embodiments, the control method of the engine cooling system further comprises: after the condenser fan and the electronic fan are in the turned-on state, determining a duration that the current temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature; if the duration is greater than a preset duration, an alarm is given.

[0064] The preset duration can be a threshold value preset by the user, a threshold value obtained through a limited number of experiments, or a threshold value obtained through a limited number of computer simulations, and is not limited here.

[0065] It should be understood that, after the condenser fan and the electronic fan are controlled to be turned on, the current temperature of the engine coolant is obtained, and if the duration that the current temperature is greater than or equal to 115℃ is greater than a preset duration, the ECU can remind the driver through an acoustic device or an optical device in the vehicle.

[0066] It should be noted that the above control method of the engine cooling system is only an example application, and each temperature interval can be adjusted appropriately according to the engine performance and the vehicle demand, including precise control of the engine water pump by the electronic water pump and precise control of the thermostat by the temperature control module. In order to reduce redundancy, details are not described here.

[0067] In summary, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0068] (1) By unified control of the condenser fan and the electronic fan, energy consumption is reduced at low water temperature, and unified management of fan energy is achieved, avoiding the limitation that the condenser fan of a conventional vehicle only cools the condenser and the electronic fan only cools the radiator;

[0069] (2) The comprehensive utilization rate of the fan is improved, the heat dissipation capacity of the radiator is effectively improved, the torque limitation at high water temperature is avoided, and the driving performance and safety performance of the vehicle are improved;

[0071] According to the control method of the engine heat dissipation system provided by the embodiment of the present application, if the air conditioner compressor is in an unopened state, the current temperature of the engine coolant is obtained, and it is determined whether the current temperature is less than a first preset temperature. If the current temperature is less than the first preset temperature, the thermostat, the condensing fan and the electronic fan are all controlled to be in a closed state, otherwise, the condensing fan and the thermostat are opened, so that the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat to cool the coolant through the radiator. Thus, the problem that the engine is overheated during operation, which leads to poor heat dissipation of the engine, and further leads to rapid temperature rise of the internal accessories of the engine, poor heat dissipation of the oil, reduced lubricating capacity, part wear and failure is solved, the reliability and durability of the engine are ensured, and the safety and drivability of the vehicle are improved.

[0074] Further, in some embodiments, after the condensing fan and the thermostat are opened, the control module 300 is further used for: determining whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature, wherein the second preset temperature is greater than the first preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, the condensing fan is closed and the electronic fan is opened, and when the current temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature, the condensing fan and the electronic fan are simultaneously opened.

[0075] Further, in some embodiments, after determining whether the air-conditioning compressor of the current vehicle is in an open state, the control module 300 is further configured to: if the air-conditioning compressor is in the open state, turn on the condenser fan to dissipate heat for the condenser through the condenser fan, and obtain a current temperature of the engine coolant; determine whether the current temperature is less than a first preset temperature; if the current temperature is less than the first preset temperature, maintain the current state of the condenser fan and the electronic fan unchanged, otherwise, turn off the condenser fan and turn on the electronic fan to cool the condenser, and simultaneously turn on the thermostat so that the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat to cool the coolant through the radiator.

[0076] Further, in some embodiments, after turning off the condenser fan and turning on the electronic fan to cool the condenser, the control module 300 is further configured to: determine whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a second preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, turn on the condenser fan again.

[0077] Further, in some embodiments, after turning on the condenser fan again, the control module 300 is further configured to: determine whether the current temperature is greater than or equal to a third preset temperature; if the current temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, turn off the air-conditioning compressor and maintain the condenser fan and the electronic fan in the open state.

[0078] Further, in some embodiments, the control device 20 of the engine cooling system further comprises: a second determination module configured to determine a duration for which the current temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature after the condenser fan and the electronic fan are in the open state; and a reminding module configured to perform alarm reminding if the duration is greater than a preset duration.

[0079] It should be noted that the specific implementation of the control device of the engine cooling system according to the embodiments of the present application is similar to the specific implementation of the control method of the engine cooling system, and to reduce redundancy, details are not repeated here.

[0080] According to the control device of the engine cooling system, if the air-conditioning compressor is in the unopened state, the current temperature of the engine coolant is obtained, and it is determined whether the current temperature is less than the first preset temperature; if the current temperature is less than the first preset temperature, the thermostat, the condenser fan and the electronic fan are controlled to be in the closed state, otherwise, the condenser fan and the thermostat are turned on so that the engine coolant enters the radiator through the thermostat to cool the coolant through the radiator. Thus, the problem that the engine is overheated during operation, which leads to poor engine cooling, and further leads to rapid heating of the internal accessories of the engine, poor engine oil cooling, reduced lubricating ability, part wear and failure is solved, the reliability and durability of the engine are ensured, and the safety and drivability of the vehicle are improved.
