Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle fault diagnosis technology, and in particular to a fault diagnosis method, apparatus, computer equipment, storage medium and computer program product. Background Technology

[0002] A hydraulic retarder utilizes the damping effect of fluid flow to generate a counter-driving braking force opposite to the forward driving force, thereby slowing down the vehicle and providing auxiliary braking. The hydraulic retarder mainly consists of core components such as a stator, rotor, sensors, proportional valve, heat exchanger, check valve, and muffler. When the hydraulic retarder is activated, hydraulic fluid enters the working chamber formed by the stator and rotor. The fluid rotates and accelerates within the working chamber, impacting the rotor and generating a counter-driving force. Throughout this process, the hydraulic retarder converts the vehicle's mechanical energy into the internal energy of the fluid. After the fluid is heated, it exits the working chamber through the return channel into the oil sump. The check valve in the return channel connecting the working chamber and the oil sump plays a crucial role. It prevents backflow of fluid from the oil sump into the working chamber and also requires a certain opening pressure. If the check valve malfunctions during operation, the hydraulic retarder's braking torque cannot be properly established, and oil leakage between the working chamber and the oil sump can occur.

[0003] In traditional technology, the hydraulic retarder body can only be disassembled to check whether the check valve is in a faulty state when a malfunction is suspected.

[0004] However, this method can easily lead to the mistaken belief that the check valve is malfunctioning. Furthermore, disassembling the hydraulic retarder to check whether the check valve is faulty is cumbersome and time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0073] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0074] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fault diagnosis method is provided, applied to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a hydraulic retarder, a pressure sensor, and an instrument panel. The hydraulic retarder includes a one-way valve, a working chamber, and a return oil passage. The working chamber is connected to the one-way valve through the return oil passage. The pressure sensor is located between the working chamber and the one-way valve. The pressure sensor is used to detect the oil pressure value in the return oil passage. The instrument panel includes a fault display area. The method includes the following steps:

[0075] Step 102: If the hydraulic retarder is in the active working process at the current moment, obtain the current maximum pressure value, actual rise time, rated maximum pressure value, and theoretical rise time; the actual rise time is the time taken for the pressure value of the hydraulic retarder in the active working process to reach the current maximum pressure value; the theoretical rise time is the time taken for the pressure value of the hydraulic retarder in the active working process to reach the rated maximum pressure value.

[0076] The vehicle may include a hydraulic retarder, a pressure sensor, and an instrument panel. The hydraulic retarder may include a check valve, a working chamber, and a return oil passage. The working chamber is connected to the check valve via the return oil passage. The pressure sensor is located on the return oil passage between the working chamber and the check valve; the pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure value of the oil in the return oil passage. Specifically, refer to... Figure 2The diagram shows the structure of the pressure sensor, including: a check valve 1, a working chamber 2, a return oil channel 3, a pressure sensor 4, an oil sump 5, a rotor shaft 6, a hydraulic retarder inlet channel 7, a gas pressure sensor 8, and a proportional control valve 9.

[0077] The current maximum pressure value can be detected by the pressure sensor during the initial operation. The rated maximum pressure value can be a preset value, which can be obtained based on the current vehicle operating conditions.

[0078] The actual rise time is the time it takes for the pressure value during the hydraulic retarder's activation process to reach the current maximum pressure value. The theoretical rise time is the time it takes for the pressure value during the hydraulic retarder's activation process to reach the rated maximum pressure value.

[0079] In practice, a timer can be present in the vehicle, and a hydraulic retarder control unit is correspondingly present in the hydraulic retarder control unit. The timer is used to record the actual time taken from when the hydraulic retarder control unit receives a braking request until the pressure value of the hydraulic retarder's return oil passage reaches the current maximum pressure value.

[0080] For example, the current operating status of the hydraulic retarder is detected; if the hydraulic retarder is in the active operating process at the current moment, the current maximum pressure value, actual rise time, rated maximum pressure value, and theoretical rise time are obtained.

[0081] Step 104: Determine whether the check valve is in a fault state based on the current maximum pressure value, the actual rise time, the rated maximum pressure value, and the theoretical rise time.

[0082] For example, if the hydraulic retarder is in operation at the current moment, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state based on the current maximum pressure value, the actual rise time, the rated maximum pressure value, and the theoretical rise time.

[0083] Step 106: When the hydraulic retarder is in the process of exiting operation at the current moment, acquire multiple first pressure values. The multiple first pressure values ​​are the pressure values ​​acquired by the pressure sensor during the process of the hydraulic retarder exiting operation.

[0084] The pressure sensor can be used to measure multiple first pressure values ​​during the disengagement process of the hydraulic retarder. For example, multiple first pressure values ​​can be recorded according to a preset sampling time. Specifically, the preset sampling time can be set according to actual conditions, and this invention does not limit it.

[0085] Step 108: Determine whether the one-way valve is in a fault state based on multiple first pressure values.

[0086] For example, if the hydraulic retarder is currently out of operation, multiple first pressure values ​​are acquired to determine whether the check valve is in a fault state based on the multiple first pressure values.

[0087] Step 110: If the check valve is in a faulty state, determine the fault condition of the check valve and display the fault condition of the check valve in the fault display area of ​​the instrument panel.

[0088] The malfunctions of the check valve can include a variety of conditions. The instrument panel can include a fault display area to show the user the malfunction status of the check valve.

[0089] For example, when the check valve is in a faulty state, the fault condition of the check valve is determined and displayed in the fault display area of ​​the instrument panel.

[0090] In the above fault diagnosis method, when the hydraulic retarder is currently in operation, the current maximum pressure value, actual rise time, rated maximum pressure value, and theoretical rise time are acquired; based on the current maximum pressure value, actual rise time, rated maximum pressure value, and theoretical rise time, it is determined whether the check valve is in a fault state; when the hydraulic retarder is currently out of operation, multiple first pressure values ​​are acquired, and based on the multiple first pressure values, it is determined whether the check valve is in a fault state; if the check valve is in a fault state, the fault condition of the check valve is determined, and the fault condition of the check valve is displayed on the instrument. Compared to traditional methods that require disassembling the hydraulic retarder to check for a suspected check valve malfunction, this method identifies check valve faults without disassembling the hydraulic retarder. This improves the safety of the hydraulic retarder during use, reduces troubleshooting and repair time, lowers maintenance costs, and displays the check valve malfunction in the instrument panel's fault display area, promptly alerting users to mitigate driving risks caused by check valve failure or performance degradation of the hydraulic retarder, thus enhancing driving safety.

[0091] In one embodiment, step 102 includes:

[0092] Step 1022: If the hydraulic retarder is in operation at the current moment, obtain the current maximum pressure value and the actual rise time.

[0093] The current maximum pressure value is the maximum pressure value detected by the pressure sensor during the start-up process of the hydraulic retarder. The actual rise time can be the time it takes for the pressure value during the start-up process of the hydraulic retarder to reach the current maximum pressure value.

[0094] Step 1024: Obtain the current speed of the first vehicle driveshaft and the percentage value of the first requested torque.

[0095] Step 1026: Obtain the rated maximum pressure value and theoretical rise time based on the rotational speed of the first vehicle driveshaft and the percentage value of the first requested torque.

[0096] For example, the current speed of the first vehicle driveshaft and the percentage value of the first requested torque can be obtained to determine the current operating condition of the vehicle. Then, using a pre-defined first mapping table, the corresponding rated maximum pressure value and theoretical rise time can be obtained. The first mapping table can store multiple sets of correspondences between the first vehicle driveshaft speed and the percentage value of the first requested torque and the rated maximum pressure value and theoretical rise time.

[0097] The first correspondence table can be pre-stored in the storage unit corresponding to the vehicle. Specifically, the first correspondence table can be a table constructed based on empirical values.

[0098] In practice, a vehicle may contain a gear shift lever and a speed sensor, and a hydraulic retarder control unit may be provided. The gear shift lever can be used to obtain the first requested torque percentage value when the hydraulic retarder is in operation; the speed sensor can be used to obtain the first vehicle driveshaft speed when the hydraulic retarder is in operation.

[0099] In the above embodiment, the rated maximum pressure value and theoretical rise time are obtained based on the rotational speed of the first vehicle drive shaft and the percentage value of the first requested torque. This speeds up the acquisition of the rated maximum pressure value and the theoretical rise pressure value by reading the table, thereby improving the fault diagnosis efficiency of the one-way valve.

[0100] In one embodiment, step 104 includes:

[0101] Step 1042: If the first ratio of the current maximum pressure value to the rated maximum pressure value is greater than a first preset value, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state.

[0102] Step 1044: If the second ratio of the actual rise time to the theoretical rise time is greater than a second preset value, the one-way valve is determined to be in a fault state.

[0103] For example, if the hydraulic retarder is currently in operation and the first ratio of the current maximum pressure value to the rated maximum pressure value is greater than a first preset value, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state. If the hydraulic retarder is currently in operation and the first ratio of the current maximum pressure value to the rated maximum pressure value is not greater than the first preset value, the check valve is determined not to be in a fault state.

[0104] If the second ratio of the actual rise time to the theoretical rise time is greater than the second preset value, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state; if the second ratio of the actual rise time to the theoretical rise time is not greater than the second preset value, the check valve is determined to be not in a fault state.

[0105] Specifically, the magnitudes of the first preset value and the second preset value can be set based on empirical values, and this invention does not limit them here.

[0106] In the above embodiments, when it is identified that the hydraulic retarder is in the open working process at the current moment, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state by the first ratio of the current maximum pressure value to the rated maximum pressure value and the second ratio of the actual rise time to the theoretical rise time, thereby realizing a more comprehensive fault diagnosis of the check valve.

[0107] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for obtaining theoretical jump time and rated jump pressure value is shown. Step 108 includes:

[0108] Step 302: Based on multiple first pressure values, determine whether there is an actual jump pressure value; the actual jump pressure value is the pressure value that the pressure sensor experiences during the instantaneous jump pressure value when the hydraulic retarder exits operation.

[0109] Among these, the multiple first pressure values ​​can be the pressure values ​​acquired by the pressure sensor during the process of the hydraulic retarder disengaging. Specifically, multiple first pressure values ​​can be recorded according to a preset sampling time.

[0110] The actual jump pressure value is the instantaneous pressure value that occurs when the pressure sensor jumps during the process of the hydraulic retarder disengaging. Specifically, the actual jump pressure value is the instantaneous rise in oil pressure that occurs when the hydraulic retarder disengages and the oil pressure decreases due to the closure of the fluid passage.

[0111] Step 304: If the actual jump pressure value does not exist, determine that the one-way valve is in a fault state.

[0112] Step 306: If the actual jump pressure value exists, obtain the actual jump time; the actual jump time is the time taken from the pressure value at which the hydraulic retarder exits the working process to the actual jump pressure value.

[0113] Step 308: Obtain the current speed of the second vehicle driveshaft and the percentage value of the second requested torque.

[0114] Step 310: Based on the second vehicle drive shaft speed and the second requested torque percentage value, obtain the theoretical jump time and the rated jump pressure value; the theoretical jump time is the time taken for the hydraulic retarder to reach the rated jump pressure value from the pressure value during the process of exiting operation.

[0115] In practice, a vehicle may contain a timer, a gear shift lever, and a speed sensor. A hydraulic retarder control unit is also present. The timer records the actual time taken from when the hydraulic retarder control unit receives a brake disengagement request until the pressure in the retarder's return oil passage reaches the actual jump pressure value. The speed sensor can be used to obtain the vehicle's driveshaft speed when the hydraulic retarder is not in the disengagement process; the gear shift lever can be used to obtain the second requested torque percentage value when the hydraulic retarder is not in the disengagement process.

[0116] Step 312: If the third ratio of the actual transition time to the theoretical transition time is greater than a third preset value, the check valve is determined to be in a fault state.

[0117] For example, if no actual jump pressure value exists, the check valve is determined to be in a faulty state. If an actual jump pressure value exists, the actual jump duration and the theoretical jump duration are obtained. If a third ratio of the actual jump duration to the theoretical jump duration is greater than a third preset value, the check valve is determined to be in a faulty state. If the third ratio of the actual jump duration to the theoretical jump duration is not greater than the third preset value, the check valve is determined not to be in a faulty state.

[0118] In the above embodiments, when an actual jump pressure value exists, the theoretical jump time and rated jump pressure value are obtained based on the percentage value of the second vehicle drive shaft speed and the second requested torque. By reading the table, the speed of obtaining the theoretical jump time and rated jump pressure value is accelerated, thereby improving the fault diagnosis efficiency of the one-way valve.

[0119] To better understand the fault diagnosis process, an example is provided for reference.

[0169] In this embodiment, when the hydraulic retarder is currently in operation, the current maximum pressure value, actual rise time, rated maximum pressure value, and theoretical rise time are acquired. Based on these values, it is determined whether the check valve is in a faulty state. When the hydraulic retarder is currently out of operation, multiple first pressure values ​​are acquired, and based on these values, it is determined whether the check valve is in a faulty state. If the check valve is in a faulty state, the fault condition is determined, and the fault condition is displayed on the instrument panel. Compared to traditional techniques that require disassembling the hydraulic retarder body to check for a suspected check valve malfunction, this method identifies check valve faults without disassembling the hydraulic retarder. This improves the safety of the hydraulic retarder during use, reduces troubleshooting and repair time, lowers maintenance costs, and displays the check valve malfunction in the instrument panel's fault display area, promptly alerting users to reduce driving risks caused by check valve failure leading to hydraulic retarder malfunction or performance degradation, thus enhancing driving safety.

The actual rise time is the time taken for the pressure value of the hydraulic retarder to reach the current maximum pressure value during the initiation of operation. The theoretical rise time is the time taken for the pressure value of the hydraulic retarder to reach the rated maximum pressure value during the initiation of operation. The first fault judgment module is used to determine whether the one-way valve is in a fault state based on the current maximum pressure value, the actual rise time, the rated maximum pressure value and the theoretical rise time. The first pressure value acquisition module is used to acquire multiple first pressure values ​​when the hydraulic retarder is in the process of exiting operation at the current moment. The multiple first pressure values ​​are the pressure values ​​acquired by the pressure sensor during the process of the hydraulic retarder exiting operation. The second fault determination module is used to determine whether the one-way valve is in a fault state based on multiple first pressure values. The fault condition determination module is used to determine the fault condition of the check valve when the check valve is in a fault state, and to display the fault condition of the check valve in the fault display area of ​​the instrument panel. The module for acquiring the maximum pressure value and duration includes: The actual maximum pressure value and duration acquisition unit is used to acquire the current maximum pressure value and the actual rise time when the hydraulic retarder is in the active working process at the current moment. The first speed and torque acquisition unit is used to acquire the current speed of the first vehicle driveshaft and the percentage value of the first requested torque. The theoretical maximum pressure value and duration acquisition unit is used to acquire the rated maximum pressure value and the theoretical rise time based on the first vehicle drive shaft speed and the first requested torque percentage value; The first fault diagnosis module includes: The first fault determination unit is used to determine that the one-way valve is in a fault state when the first ratio of the current maximum pressure value to the rated maximum pressure value is greater than a first preset value. The second fault determination unit is used to determine that the one-way valve is in a fault state when the second ratio of the actual rising time to the theoretical rising time is greater than a second preset value. The second fault diagnosis module includes: The actual jump pressure value determination unit is used to determine whether there is an actual jump pressure value based on multiple first pressure values; the actual jump pressure value is the pressure value that the pressure sensor experiences during the instantaneous jump in pressure value when the hydraulic retarder exits operation. The third fault determination unit is used to determine that the one-way valve is in a fault state when the actual jump pressure value does not exist. The actual jump time acquisition unit is used to acquire the actual jump time when the actual jump pressure value exists; the actual jump time is the time taken from the pressure value at which the hydraulic retarder exits the working process to the actual jump pressure value. The second speed and torque acquisition unit is used to acquire the percentage value of the second vehicle drive shaft speed and the second requested torque at the current moment; The theoretical jump pressure value and duration acquisition unit is used to acquire the theoretical jump duration and rated jump pressure value based on the percentage value of the second vehicle drive shaft speed and the second requested torque; the theoretical jump duration is the time taken for the pressure value during the hydraulic retarder's exit from operation to reach the rated jump pressure value; The fourth fault determination unit is used to determine that the one-way valve is in a fault state when the third ratio of the actual jump duration to the theoretical jump duration is greater than a third preset value.
