Description

Technical Field

[0002] A range extender generally refers to an electric vehicle component that can provide additional electrical energy, thereby increasing the mileage of an electric vehicle. Traditionally, a range extender refers to a combination of an engine and a generator. When the range extender is operating, the temperature of the range extender will gradually increase. The vehicle's water pump can be controlled accordingly based on the temperature of the range extender, allowing the range extender to operate within the optimal temperature range, thereby effectively reducing energy consumption and increasing the range extender's power generation efficiency. However, when the vehicle's water pump fails, the engine coolant in the range extender will not circulate, making it difficult to promptly remove the heat generated by the engine, which can easily cause engine damage. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly diagnose the water pump failure and take appropriate protective measures. Currently, the water pump stall failure is only diagnosed based on the water pump's speed, which is prone to misdiagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0019] The vehicle water pump fault diagnosis method provided in this application can be applied to electric vehicles, wherein the electric vehicle at least includes a battery management system (Electronic Battery Sensor, referred to as EBS), a power battery pack management system (Battery Management System, referred to as BMS), a DC converter (DC / DC), a vehicle control unit (VCU), a central control panel (ICU), a motor controller (MCU), a body control module (BCM) and a telematics box (T-BOX), wherein each module device is connected via a CAN bus or hard wire. The settings of the various module devices on the electric vehicle and the specific connection methods therebetween are set with reference to the existing technology or according to the actual production needs of the manufacturer, and are not specifically limited here.

[0020] Among them, the Internet of Vehicles module is mainly used to realize the communication connection between the electric vehicle and the outside world. For example, the Internet of Vehicles module can communicate with the user terminal corresponding to the user (such as a mobile phone APP) or the server side corresponding to the after-sales personnel (such as a backend server), so that the user can read the status information of the electric vehicle through the mobile phone APP and the after-sales personnel can read the status or fault information of the electric vehicle through the backend server.

[0021] It should be noted that the above does not constitute a limitation on the electric vehicle. In other embodiments, the electric vehicle may include fewer or more components than shown in the figure, or a combination of certain components, or a different arrangement of components.

[0022] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a vehicle water pump fault diagnosis method is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step 101: collecting the rotational speed information of the water pump and obtaining a fault prompt of the water pump according to the rotational speed information;

[0024] Step 102, collecting the engine coolant temperature and the rate of change of the coolant temperature within a first period of time according to the fault prompt;

[0025] Step 103: Compare the coolant temperature with the temperature threshold to obtain a first comparison result;

[0026] Step 104, comparing the rate of change of the coolant temperature with a temperature change rate threshold to obtain a second comparison result;

[0027] Step 105, determining whether a water pump stall fault occurs based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result, and obtaining a determination result;

[0028] Step 106: Control the range extender based on the judgment result.

[0029] In step 101, it is exemplified that the speed information of the water pump is collected, and a fault prompt of the water pump is obtained based on the speed information. For example, an electric vehicle includes a vehicle controller and a water pump connected to the vehicle controller via a hard line. The vehicle controller outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal to the water pump via a hard line to control the working state of the water pump. Generally, the vehicle water pump has its own independent controller, and fault diagnosis is also completed independently by it, and fault information, such as a flag or code, is sent to the electronic control unit (ECU) for fault diagnosis. In some implementation processes, the fault prompt is used to prompt that the water pump has a stall fault. First, the speed information of the water pump is collected and compared with a preset speed. When the speed information is less than the preset speed, the water pump sends a fault prompt to the ECU.

[0030] In step 102, the engine coolant temperature and the rate of change of the coolant temperature are collected over a first period of time based on the fault indication. For example, the water pump, a key engine component, can fail to circulate the engine coolant and dissipate the heat generated by the engine, leading to engine overheating or even damage. Therefore, upon receiving a water pump stall fault, the ECU will take actions such as reducing the load, limiting the torque, or even shutting down the engine to protect the engine. However, implementing these measures can create a negative user experience, so it is necessary to confirm that the stall fault is genuine and accurate. Therefore, after the water pump itself performs a fault diagnosis, the ECU reconfirms the fault to ensure the accuracy of the stall fault. In some implementations, within a driving cycle (i.e., the process from vehicle power-up to power-off), after the water pump first issues a fault indication, to ensure that the fault indication is not a false alarm, the ECU determines whether the water pump is truly stalled based on the current change in the engine coolant temperature.

[0031] In steps 103 to 104, it is exemplarily explained that the coolant temperature is compared with the temperature threshold to obtain a first comparison result, and the rate of change of the coolant temperature is compared with the temperature change rate threshold to obtain a second comparison result. For example, the rate of change of the coolant temperature can be determined by the change in the coolant temperature within a unit time range, and the temperature change rate threshold can be determined by the engine speed and load.

[0032] In step 105, it is exemplarily explained that whether the water pump has a stall fault is determined based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result, and a judgment result is obtained. For example, when the coolant temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, and the rate of change of the coolant temperature is greater than the temperature change rate threshold, it can be considered that the water pump fault prompt is a false alarm; when the rate of change of the coolant temperature is less than the temperature change rate threshold, it can be considered that the water pump has a stall fault, thereby triggering the range extender protection.

[0033] In step 106, it is exemplified that the range extender is controlled according to the judgment result. For example, when it is confirmed that the water pump is blocked, the protection of the range extender is triggered, which specifically includes sequentially executing operations such as reducing engine performance, returning the vehicle to idle state, and shutting down the vehicle.

[0034] In the above-mentioned vehicle water pump fault diagnosis method, the water pump fault prompt is obtained by collecting the water pump speed information, which triggers the collection of the engine coolant temperature and the coolant temperature change rate, so as to make a secondary judgment on the water pump jam fault based on the coolant temperature and the coolant temperature change, thereby improving the accuracy of the jam fault judgment.

[0035] As a specific implementation method of the above embodiment, whether the water pump has a stall fault is determined based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result, and a judgment result is obtained, including: if the coolant temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, and the rate of change of the coolant temperature is greater than the temperature change rate threshold, then the water pump fault prompt is a false alarm.

[0036] As a specific implementation method of the above embodiment, if the coolant temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, and the rate of change of the coolant temperature is greater than the temperature change rate threshold, then the water pump fault prompt is a false alarm, it also includes: obtaining a request to limit the water pump signal output, limiting the water pump signal output according to the request, and clearing the water pump jam fault within a second time period, wherein the second time period is the time period for limiting the water pump signal output.

[0037] It should be noted that to further improve the accuracy of stall fault diagnosis, after the coolant temperature and the coolant temperature change rate determine that the fault prompt is a false alarm, the stall fault can be cleared and the stall fault diagnosis can be repeated. In some implementations, the ECU can send a 0 duty cycle request to limit the water pump signal output. After a second delay, the water pump's normal duty cycle control is restored. The second delay is obtained by default and can be set to 25 seconds. At the same time, during the second delay, the water pump controller clears the fault and re-diagnoses the stall fault. When the ECU receives relevant information about the second fault prompt within a driving cycle, it determines that the water pump has a stall fault and triggers protection for the range extender.

[0038] As a specific implementation method of the above embodiment, after obtaining a request to limit the water pump signal output, the water pump signal output is limited according to the request, and the water pump jam fault is cleared within a second time period, wherein the second time period is after the time period for limiting the water pump signal output, and also includes: if the water pump fault prompt is obtained again, the water pump has a jam fault.

[0039] As a specific implementation of the above embodiment, whether the water pump has a stall fault is determined based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result, and a judgment result is obtained, including: if the coolant temperature change rate is less than the temperature change rate threshold, the water pump has a stall fault.

[0040] As a specific implementation of the above embodiment, the range extender is controlled according to the judgment result, including: if the water pump is blocked, the range extender is protected, the engine performance is reduced, and the vehicle is put into an idle state.

[0041] As a specific implementation of the above embodiment, the temperature change rate threshold is determined according to the speed information and load of the engine.

Unless otherwise specified in this document, there is no strict order restriction for the execution of these steps, and these steps can be executed in other orders.
