[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of engine control, and in particular to an engine shutdown method and device, an electronic device, and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] During the engine shutdown process, the emission of hydrocarbons is significantly higher than several times during normal working conditions, which can cause excessive emission of pollutants.

[0003] At present, since the engine shutdown mode is to stop ignition, the first shutdown cycle of the engine is still affected by the last ignition cycle. The last ignition cycle causes the cylinder to store hot residual exhaust gas, i.e., the gas after combustion, which assists in volatilizing the residual fuel particles in the cylinder, resulting in a sharp increase in the emission of hydrocarbons, which adversely affects the environment. SUMMARY

[0004] Therefore, the present application aims to provide an engine shutdown method and device, an electronic device, and a vehicle to perform one more round of minimum fuel injection in each cylinder combustion chamber during engine shutdown, fully burn the residual fuel particles therein, and reduce the emission of hydrocarbons and environmental pollution.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application provides an engine shutdown method, which comprises the following steps.

[0006] When a shutdown signal is received, fuel is injected into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, and the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is ignited.

[0007] After the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is ignited once, fuel injection into each cylinder combustion chamber is stopped, and the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is stopped from igniting to reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present application also provides an engine shutdown device, which comprises the following modules.

[0009] A fuel injection and ignition module is configured to inject fuel into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine when a shutdown signal is received, and ignite the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber.

[0010] A shutdown processing module is configured to stop fuel injection into each cylinder combustion chamber after the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is ignited once, and stop the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber from igniting to reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.

[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the application further provides an electronic device, comprising a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor, wherein the processor implements the engine shutdown method provided by any one of the embodiments of the application when executing the program.

[0012] In order to achieve the above object, the application further provides a vehicle comprising the electronic device provided by any one of the embodiments of the application.

[0013] As can be seen from the above, the engine shutdown method provided by the application, in the case of receiving a shutdown signal, sprays oil into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum oil injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, and controls the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber to ignite, so as to make each cylinder combustion chamber be able to fully burn with the minimum amount of fuel, reduce the emission of fuel particulate matter, i.e. hydrocarbons, after the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is ignited once, stops spraying oil into each cylinder combustion chamber, and controls the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber to stop igniting, which realizes that when the engine is shut down, a round of minimum oil injection is further performed in each cylinder combustion chamber, the residual fuel particles therein are fully burned, the amount of hydrocarbon emission is reduced, and environmental pollution is further reduced.

[0019] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the application more clear, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings.

[0020] It should be noted that the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should be understood as the general meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of the present application belong, unless otherwise defined.

[0021] Figure 1 A flowchart of an engine shutdown method provided by the embodiments of the present application is mainly applicable to reducing hydrocarbon emissions when the engine is shut down. The method can be configured in an electronic device. As shown in the figure, the method can specifically include the following steps: Figure 1

[0022] S110, in the case of receiving a shutdown signal, according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, injecting fuel into each cylinder combustion chamber, and controlling the spark plug ignition in each cylinder combustion chamber.

[0023] The shutdown signal is a signal for indicating that the engine stops running, so that the engine stops running when receiving the shutdown signal. The engine can be a fuel engine or a hybrid engine. Hybrid generally refers to oil-electric hybrid, i.e. the mixture of fuel (gasoline, diesel, etc.) and electric energy. The cylinder combustion chamber is a device for generating high-temperature gas when fuel is burned, which is an important part of the engine. The spark plug is an important element for ignition, which can introduce high-voltage electricity into the cylinder combustion chamber and make it jump through the electrode gap to generate sparks, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder combustion chamber. The minimum fuel injection amount is to increase the fuel injection amount in the cylinder combustion chamber, so that the total fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber reaches the minimum ignition standard, i.e. the total fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber is just enough to be ignited by the spark plug.

[0024] ​Specifically, in the case of receiving the shutdown signal, the engine is about to stop running, but at this time, there are still fuel particles in each cylinder combustion chamber in the ignition cycle, that is, fuel remains, and directly stopping ignition and fuel injection will cause these fuel particles to be discharged with high-temperature gas, resulting in a large amount of hydrocarbons, which are actually small fuel particles that have not burned. Seriously affect the air, therefore, determine the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine. Further, when fuel is injected into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber, the total fuel amount in each cylinder combustion chamber reaches the minimum ignition standard, and the spark plug in the cylinder combustion chamber is ignited to ignite the fuel in the cylinder combustion chamber, so that it can be further burned, reducing the subsequent emission of small fuel particles.

[0025] On the basis of the above examples, fuel can be injected into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the following manner:

[0026] For each cylinder combustion chamber, determine the remaining fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber, and determine the difference between the pre-calibrated minimum combustion amount and the remaining fuel amount as the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to the cylinder combustion chamber.

[0027] According to the minimum fuel injection amount, fuel is injected into the cylinder combustion chamber.

[0028] Wherein, the remaining fuel amount is the part of the fuel amount remaining in the cylinder combustion chamber after the last combustion. The minimum combustion amount is the minimum amount of fuel that can be ignited in the cylinder combustion chamber, that is, the amount of fuel that can just be ignited.

[0029] Specifically, for each cylinder combustion chamber, the remaining fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber is determined by calculation or directly by a fuel detection device, etc. Further, the pre-calibrated minimum combustion amount is subtracted from the remaining fuel amount, and the obtained value can be understood as how much fuel needs to be supplemented to just ignite, that is, the obtained value is the minimum fuel injection amount. Fuel is injected into the cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount, so as to be ignited and burned by the spark plug subsequently.

[0030] On the basis of the above examples, the remaining fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber can be estimated by the number of ignitions in the current start cycle, and the remaining fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber can be determined in the following manner:

[0031] Obtain the number of ignitions in the current start cycle of the engine;

[0032] Determine the remaining fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber in the current start cycle according to the pre-calibrated ignition number and remaining fuel amount correlation and the number of ignitions.

[0033] The current start cycle is a cycle between a start signal corresponding to a current stop signal and the stop signal. The ignition number is a statistical number of ignitions of the combustion chamber in the current start cycle. The ignition number and the remaining fuel quantity correlation can indicate the change of the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber with the change of the ignition number. The correlation can be a nonlinear relationship obtained by experiment fitting.

[0034] Specifically, the ignition number is recorded when the current start cycle starts, and the ignition number in the current start cycle can be obtained until the stop signal is received. Further, the obtained ignition number is matched in the pre-calibrated ignition number and remaining fuel quantity correlation, and the matched remaining fuel quantity is taken as the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber in the current start cycle.

[0035] On the basis of the above example, the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber can be estimated by the start duration of the current start cycle, and the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber can be determined by the following method:

[0036] The start duration of the current start cycle of the engine is obtained.

[0037] According to the pre-calibrated start duration and remaining fuel quantity correlation and the start duration, the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber in the current start cycle is determined.

[0038] The start duration is the duration between the start signal and the stop signal in the current start cycle. The pre-calibrated start duration and remaining fuel quantity correlation can indicate the change of the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber with the change of the start duration. The correlation can be a nonlinear relationship obtained by experiment fitting.

[0039] Specifically, the start time is recorded when the current start cycle starts, and the stop time is recorded until the stop signal is received. The duration between the start time and the stop time can be taken as the start duration. Further, the obtained start duration is matched in the pre-calibrated start duration and remaining fuel quantity correlation, and the matched remaining fuel quantity is taken as the remaining fuel quantity in the combustion chamber in the current start cycle.

[0040] On the basis of the above example, after the difference between the pre-calibrated minimum combustion quantity and the remaining fuel quantity is determined as the minimum injection quantity corresponding to the combustion chamber, the calibration minimum quantity can be set to avoid the situation that the combustion chamber cannot be combusted due to the error in obtaining the minimum injection quantity. Specifically, it can be:

[0041] If the minimum injection quantity is less than the calibration minimum quantity, the minimum injection quantity is updated to the calibration minimum quantity.

[0042] The calibration minimum amount is the minimum fuel injection amount per fuel injection, which can be calculated according to the volume of different cylinder combustion chambers and other parameters, or obtained through tests, which will not be described herein.

[0043] Specifically, if the minimum fuel injection amount is less than the calibration minimum amount, the minimum fuel injection amount is updated to the calibration minimum amount, so as to avoid that the fuel cannot be effectively injected according to the original minimum fuel injection amount, or the fuel amount in the cylinder combustion chamber cannot be ignited and combusted, and therefore, the calibration minimum amount is used as the new minimum fuel injection amount. If the minimum fuel injection amount is not less than the calibration minimum amount, the minimum fuel injection amount remains unchanged.

[0044] S120, after the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers are ignited once, stop injecting fuel into all the cylinder combustion chambers, and control the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers to stop ignition, so as to reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.

[0045] Specifically, after the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers are ignited once, the remaining fuel particles in each cylinder combustion chamber before receiving the stop signal have been ignited and combusted sufficiently. In this case, it can be determined that the amount of remaining fuel particles in each cylinder combustion chamber is small, and therefore, fuel injection into all the cylinder combustion chambers is stopped, and the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers are controlled to stop ignition, so as to complete the stop of the engine and reduce the emission of hydrocarbons when the engine stops.

[0046] It should be noted that if the engine stop mode is to stop ignition, that is, the spark plug does not discharge, there are still fuel particles vaporized by the hot residual exhaust gas, and then the emission of hydrocarbons increases. Therefore, the engine stop mode of the embodiment of the present application is to stop fuel injection, and the fuel injection is stopped after one ignition cycle, so that in the first ignition cycle, the ignition energy can ignite the cylinder gas (the remaining fuel amount and the minimum fuel injection amount), which can help the fuel particles to combust sufficiently and reduce the content of hydrocarbons in the residual exhaust gas.

[0047] The engine stop method provided by the embodiment, in the case of receiving a stop signal, injects fuel into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, and controls the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber to ignite, so as to make each cylinder combustion chamber combust with the minimum fuel amount and reduce the emission of fuel particles, that is, hydrocarbons. After the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers are ignited once, stop injecting fuel into all the cylinder combustion chambers, and control the spark plugs in all the cylinder combustion chambers to stop ignition, so as to realize that one more minimum fuel injection is performed in each cylinder combustion chamber when the engine stops, the residual fuel particles are combusted sufficiently, the emission of hydrocarbons is reduced, and the environmental pollution is reduced.

[0048] Figure 2 The flowchart of another engine shutdown method provided by the embodiments of the present application, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, optionally, the way of injecting fuel into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine is exemplarily described. Wherein, the explanation of the same or corresponding terms as the above-mentioned embodiments will not be repeated here. As shown in the above-mentioned embodiments, the method can specifically include the following steps: Figure 2

[0049] S210, in the case of receiving the shutdown signal, respectively determine the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, and according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber, inject fuel into each cylinder combustion chamber in turn, starting from the next cylinder combustion chamber of the cylinder combustion chamber that is working at the time of receiving the shutdown signal, and control the spark plug ignition in each cylinder combustion chamber.

[0050] Wherein, the cylinder working sequence is the sequence of each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine to generate power by injecting fuel ignition when the engine starts. At present, the engine is mostly a four-cylinder engine, and there are also engines with other numbers. Exemplarily, the working sequence of a four-cylinder engine can be 1-3-2-4, wherein the numbers represent the numbers of different cylinder combustion chambers.

[0051] Specifically, in the case of receiving the shutdown signal, the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine is determined. Further, according to the engine cylinder working sequence, the next cylinder combustion chamber of the cylinder combustion chamber that is working at the time of receiving the shutdown signal is determined, and starting from the determined next cylinder combustion chamber, according to the engine cylinder working sequence, to the cylinder combustion chamber that is working at the time of receiving the shutdown signal, that is, each cylinder combustion chamber in turn performs the following operation: according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to the cylinder combustion chamber, inject fuel into the cylinder combustion chamber, and control the spark plug ignition in the cylinder combustion chamber. Through the above operation, the last time fuel injection and ignition before shutdown can be performed in each cylinder combustion chamber according to the cylinder working sequence, so as to fully burn the fuel particles in the cylinder combustion chamber.

[0052] It should be noted that the multiple fuel injection of each cylinder combustion chamber according to the working sequence will not affect the user's perception of the engine shutdown time. Exemplarily, the idle speed of a certain engine is 750r / min, and the engine crankshaft completes a working cycle every two revolutions of the four cylinders, that is, only delays 0.16 seconds to shut down, and the user is basically in a state of no perception.

[0053] On the basis of the above-mentioned example, before injecting fuel into the cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum fuel injection amount corresponding to each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, the following operation can also be performed:

[0054] Obtain the current water temperature of the cooling water of the engine, and judge whether the current water temperature is greater than the starting water temperature.​

[0055] The starting water temperature is a pre-set water temperature of the cooling water for starting the engine stop method of the application, for example, it can be 80℃, and the specific temperature can be set according to the attachment of the fuel particles.

[0056] Specifically, the current water temperature of the cooling water of the engine can be obtained by a temperature sensor, and it is determined whether the current water temperature is greater than the starting water temperature. If the current water temperature is not greater than the starting water temperature, it indicates that the fuel particles in the combustion chamber of each cylinder of the engine will not easily vaporize, most of which are attached to the cylinder wall and will not be discharged with the exhaust gas, so the engine stop method in the embodiments of the application does not need to be executed, and the engine can be directly stopped. If the current water temperature is greater than the starting water temperature, it indicates that the fuel particles in the combustion chamber of each cylinder of the engine will vaporize and be discharged with the exhaust gas, resulting in an increase in the amount of hydrocarbon emissions, so the engine stop method in the embodiments of the application is executed, specifically, the step of injecting oil into the combustion chamber of each cylinder according to the minimum injection amount of the combustion chamber of each cylinder in the engine.

[0057] S220, after the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber is ignited once, stop injecting oil into each cylinder combustion chamber, and control the spark plug in each cylinder combustion chamber to stop ignition to reduce the emission of hydrocarbons.

[0058] The engine stop method provided in the embodiments can effectively distinguish the injection amount in different cylinder combustion chambers by determining the minimum injection amount of each cylinder combustion chamber in the engine, avoiding the influence of the difference between the cylinder combustion chambers on the subsequent combustion process, and then, according to the order of the engine cylinder work, starting from the next cylinder combustion chamber of the cylinder combustion chamber that is working when the stop signal is received, injecting oil into each cylinder combustion chamber according to the minimum injection amount of each cylinder combustion chamber, so that only the normal ignition combustion in the cylinder can be achieved by delaying the injection of the working cycle and stopping the injection and ignition, thereby fully reducing the residual fuel particles in each cylinder combustion chamber and reducing the emission of hydrocarbons.

[0059] It should be noted that the method of the embodiments of the application can be executed by a single device, such as a computer or a server, etc. The method of the embodiments of the application can also be applied to a distributed scenario, and completed by multiple devices cooperating with each other. In this distributed scenario, one of the multiple devices can only execute one or more steps in the method of the embodiments of the application, and the multiple devices can interact with each other to complete the method.

[0060] It should be noted that the above description describes some embodiments of this application. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims.

Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific or sequential order to achieve the desired result.
