Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engine control, and in particular to a control method, device and storage medium for an electronic main water pump of an engine. Background Art

[0002] The function of an engine's electronic main water pump is to control its flow rate or speed through closed-loop correction of the engine's target water temperature, precisely controlling the actual water temperature to track the target. To improve engine thermal efficiency, the Atkinson cycle, high compression ratio, and electronic main water pump technology are widely adopted. Compared to traditional mechanical water pumps, electronic main water pumps can provide appropriate cooling flow and intensity based on engine operating conditions, minimizing unnecessary energy loss. For engines using the high-compression Atkinson cycle, current electronic main water pump design and control strategies primarily ensure that full power and full flow are only required to meet cooling requirements under high-temperature, high-speed, and high-load operating conditions. In non-knock regions, the pump operates at the lowest possible power and flow rate to minimize unnecessary energy consumption. In the knock-prone regions of low speed, medium load, and high speed, medium load, the electronic main water pump is not operated at full power in these regions, primarily to minimize knock potential and power consumption.

[0003] CN110805487B provides a control method for an engine electronic main water pump. The method comprises: obtaining a target engine water outlet temperature and a base pump speed of the electronic main water pump; obtaining a PID control correction coefficient based on the target engine water outlet temperature and the measured engine water outlet temperature; obtaining an ambient temperature correction coefficient, and obtaining a target speed of the electronic main water pump based on the base pump speed, the PID control correction coefficient, and the ambient temperature correction coefficient; and controlling the engine electronic main water pump using the target speed of the electronic main water pump. The patent also provides a control system for an engine electronic main water pump. This patent implements a two-step control of the target speed of the electronic main water pump. The first step is to output the target speed of the electronic fan and the base pump speed to achieve pre-control and improve system responsiveness. The second step is to use the PID and ambient temperature to jointly correct the base pump speed to improve control accuracy.

[0004] CN106979061A discloses a method for controlling an electronic main water pump of an engine, comprising the following steps: after a vehicle is powered on, determining the current mode of the electronic main water pump by detecting a water temperature sensor and an engine speed; collecting data on the current vehicle speed, the current flow rate of the electronic main water pump, the engine load, and the engine speed in real time, and obtaining a heat evaluation parameter; obtaining a correction value for adjusting the electronic main water pump in a normal working mode or a fault mode; and obtaining an optimized adjustment time based on a changing trend of the heat evaluation parameter; and optimizing and adjusting the electronic main water pump based on the correction value and the optimized adjustment time.

[0005] In the aforementioned patents, the purpose of electronic main water pump control is to precisely control the actual engine water temperature to accurately track the target water temperature under different operating conditions. This target water temperature is measured on an engine test bench using a calibrated median engine. When this target water temperature is achieved and the engine is within the knock boundary, the engine achieves minimum fuel consumption (under non-external characteristic conditions) or maximum power (under external characteristic conditions). Therefore, the aforementioned invention patents fail to consider that in mass production applications, after a knock occurs in a knock-prone operating range, the remaining cooling capacity of the electronic main water pump can be used to increase engine coolant flow.

[0006] The bench calibration process for the target water temperature master control map of the electronic main water pump clearly accounts for the effects of knock and water temperature on the main water pump's operating power. However, for high-compression-ratio Atkinson-cycle engines, parameters influencing engine knock, such as deviations in the static compression ratio, intake and exhaust phases, variations in the flow resistance coefficient of the cylinder block and cylinder head water jacket, and deviations in the flow characteristics of the electronic main water pump, can cause knock in production engines that are not within the design tolerances. The existing engine management system (EMS) logic addresses engine knock after production only through knock diagnosis. Upon detection of knock, the ignition angle in the cylinder experiencing knock is retarded to reduce the knock tendency. For strong knock, a self-learning method is used to advance the ignition angle to prevent knock. Regardless of the method used, retarding the ignition angle reduces thermal efficiency and engine power. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an engine electronic main water pump control method, device and storage medium to solve the problem in the prior art that high compression ratio, Atkinson cycle engines are prone to knock, resulting in reduced power performance and reduced engine thermal efficiency;

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for controlling an electronic main water pump of an engine, comprising:

[0010] S1: Acquire a first parameter group and a knock compensation parameter of an engine in a vehicle, and determine whether an electronic main water pump in the vehicle can start closed-loop control based on a target water temperature based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter. If the determination is yes, proceed to S2;

[0011] S2: Determine whether a condition for enabling the knock compensation function is met based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter; if yes, proceed to S3; if no, proceed to S5;

[0012] S3: Determine whether to perform knock compensation based on the knock compensation control offset in the knock compensation parameter. If the knock compensation control offset is greater than a preset value, perform knock compensation and proceed to S4; otherwise, proceed to S5;

[0014] S5: starting a closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature, and controlling the operation of the electronic main water pump by using a second control parameter determined by the closed-loop control strategy to perform thermal management on the engine.

[0015] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional embodiments, the first parameter group includes the current vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, engine water temperature, knock identification flag and cylinder deignition angle caused by knock, and the knock compensation parameters include the knock compensation control module start flag and the knock compensation control offset.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional implementations, in step S4, the first control parameter is the sum of the latest output value obtained from the previous calculation cycle and closed-loop control stored in advance and the knock compensation control offset.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional implementations, in step S5, the second control parameter is the sum of the pre-control MAP value of the electronic main water pump and the target water temperature closed-loop adjustment PID.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in some optional implementations, the control of knock compensation includes the following steps:

[0019] A1: Based on the second parameter group and the engine operating condition setting range, determine the knock compensation effect area and determine whether to enable the knock compensation function. If so, enable the knock compensation function and proceed to A2. If not, the electronic main water pump speed compensation value caused by knock is equal to 0, the knock compensation function is not enabled, and proceed to A4.

[0020] A2: If knock is detected in at least one cylinder and the cylinder de-ignition angle caused by the knock exceeds the threshold, proceed to A3; if no knock is detected, the electronic main water pump compensation value caused by the knock is equal to the current value of the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating range, and proceed to A4;

[0022] A4: Compare the electronic main water pump compensation value obtained in A1 or A2 with the margin of the electronic main water pump under the current working condition, and select the minimum value as the final value output of the knock compensation function. The margin of the electronic main water pump under the current working condition is equal to the difference between the maximum speed or flow of the electronic main water pump and the required speed or flow of the electronic main water pump output by the main control module of the electronic main water pump.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional embodiments, the second parameter group includes engine water temperature, engine speed and engine load, and the engine operating condition setting range is: the engine water temperature is greater than the first temperature and less than the second temperature, and the water pump operating power in the main pulse spectrum of the electronic main water pump corresponding to the engine speed and engine load is less than the preset maximum power.

[0024] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional implementations, the self-learning offset is a preset water pump speed or a preset water pump flow.

[0025] In combination with the first aspect, in some optional implementations, in step A2, the threshold is set to a crankshaft angle of -3 to -6 degrees.

[0026] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an engine electronic main water pump control device, comprising:

[0027] A closed-loop control determination module is configured to obtain a first parameter group and a knock compensation parameter of an engine in a vehicle, and determine whether an electronic main water pump in the vehicle can start closed-loop control based on a target water temperature based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter;

[0030] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer storage medium, in which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is run on a computer, the engine electronic main water pump control method as described above can be executed.

[0031] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0032] This invention builds upon existing closed-loop control based on target water temperature by adding an auxiliary function that utilizes the excess cooling capacity of the electronic main water pump under existing operating conditions to suppress knock after it has already occurred. To achieve the goal of suppressing knock by utilizing this excess cooling capacity to lower the water temperature, this invention employs an open-loop strategy for engine water temperature control during periods of strong knock, while maintaining a closed-loop strategy when no knock occurs.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the various details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape, and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity, and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complex.

[0039] like Figure 1-2As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an engine electronic main water pump control method, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1: Acquire a first parameter group and a knock compensation parameter of an engine in a vehicle, and determine whether an electronic main water pump in the vehicle can start closed-loop control based on a target water temperature based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter. If the determination is yes, proceed to S2;

[0041] S2: Determine whether a condition for enabling the knock compensation function is met based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter; if yes, proceed to S3; if no, proceed to S5;

[0042] S3: Determine whether to perform knock compensation based on the knock compensation control offset in the knock compensation parameter. If the knock compensation control offset is greater than a preset value, perform knock compensation and proceed to S4; otherwise, proceed to S5;

[0043] S4: switching the closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature to an open-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature, and controlling the operation of the electronic main water pump according to a first control parameter determined by the open-loop control strategy to perform thermal management on the engine;

[0044] S5: starting a closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature, and controlling the operation of the electronic main water pump by using a second control parameter determined by the closed-loop control strategy to perform thermal management on the engine.

[0045] In step S1, a first parameter set and knock compensation parameters for the vehicle's engine are acquired. Based on the first parameter set and the knock compensation parameters, a determination is made as to whether the vehicle's electronic main water pump can initiate closed-loop control based on the target water temperature. If the determination is yes, the process proceeds to step S2. The first parameter set includes parameters such as the current vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, engine water temperature, knock identification flag, and cylinder de-ignition angle caused by knock. Knock compensation parameters include parameters such as the knock compensation control module activation flag and the knock compensation control offset. Specifically, the engine-related information acquisition and determination module acquires parameters such as the current vehicle speed, engine speed, engine load, engine water temperature, knock identification flag, and cylinder de-ignition angles caused by knock, as well as parameters output by the knock compensation control module (including parameters such as the knock compensation control module activation flag and the knock compensation control offset). Based on this information, a determination is made as to whether the main water pump control can enter the closed-loop control function module based on the target water temperature. If the determination is yes, the process proceeds to step S2. Under certain vehicle conditions, such as during the engine warm-up process after a cold start, the engine water temperature is low and the electronic main water pump typically runs at the lowest safe speed to quickly warm the engine. During these conditions, the engine cooling system does not need and cannot enter closed-loop control based on the target water temperature. Closed-loop control based on the target water temperature is only possible after the engine warm-up is complete.

[0046] In step S2, a determination is made based on the first parameter set and the knock compensation parameters to determine whether the conditions for enabling the knock compensation function are met. If so, the process proceeds to S3; if not, the process proceeds to S5. The information acquisition and determination module, based on the aforementioned information, then determines whether the current state meets the conditions for enabling the electronic main water pump knock compensation function module. The determination process can be referenced in the electronic main water pump compensation control method, apparatus, system, vehicle, medium, and equipment disclosed in Application No. 202310120320.X, and will not be further described here. If so, the process proceeds to S3; if not, the process proceeds to S5.

[0047] In step S3, a determination is made as to whether knock compensation should be performed based on the knock compensation control offset in the knock compensation parameters. If the knock compensation control offset is greater than a preset value, knock compensation is performed and the process proceeds to S4; otherwise, the process proceeds to S5. In this application, the preset value is 0. The knock compensation control module determines whether knock compensation should be performed based on the current knock compensation control offset in the knock compensation control module. If the offset is greater than 0, indicating that knock compensation is necessary, the process proceeds to S4; if not, the process proceeds to S5.

[0048] In step S4, the closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature is switched to an open-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature. The electronic main water pump is controlled using a first control parameter determined by the open-loop control strategy to provide thermal management for the engine. The first control parameter is the sum of the latest output value from the previous stored calculation cycle and closed-loop control, plus the vibration compensation control offset. The first control parameter is the final output value required for electronic main water pump control.

[0049] In step S5, an open-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature is activated to increase engine cooling intensity and thermal efficiency. A closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature is also activated for the main water pump. The closed-loop strategy calculates an output value equal to the electronic main water pump pre-control MAP value + the target water temperature closed-loop control PID. The second control parameter type is the same as the first control parameter, both representing the final output value required for electronic main water pump control.

[0050] The present invention is based on the conventional control strategy of the existing electronic main water pump, and utilizes the electronic main water pump engine. In the small and medium load knock-sensitive area, the cooling capacity of the water pump has a certain surplus. When knock occurs, open-loop control is performed on the target water temperature under the current working conditions. The capacity margin of the main water pump is utilized to increase the cooling intensity under the knock condition, reduce the knock tendency, and improve the thermal efficiency of the engine.

[0051] It is worth noting that Figure 2 In step S3, the knock compensation control module implements the following strategy: First, each time the engine is powered off, the knock-induced electronic main water pump self-learning register is initialized to 0. This ensures that each time the engine is powered on, the register is initialized to 0. Then, after the engine is started, the following steps are executed:

[0052] A1: Based on the second parameter group and the engine operating condition setting range, determine the knock compensation effect area and determine whether to enable the knock compensation function. If so, enable the knock compensation function and proceed to A2. If not, the electronic main water pump speed compensation value caused by knock is equal to 0, the knock compensation function is not enabled, and proceed to A4.

[0053] A2: If knock is detected in at least one cylinder and the cylinder de-ignition angle caused by the knock exceeds the threshold, proceed to A3; if no knock is detected, the electronic main water pump compensation value caused by the knock is equal to the current value of the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating range, and proceed to A4;

[0054] A3: Update the self-learning value of the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current working condition area. The updated register learning value is equal to the sum of the old register value and the self-learning offset, and then enter A4;

[0055] A4: Compare the electronic main water pump compensation value obtained in A1 or A2 with the margin of the electronic main water pump under the current working conditions, and select the minimum value as the final value output of the knock compensation function.

[0056] In step A1, based on the second parameter set and the engine operating condition setting range, the knock compensation range is determined and whether to enable the knock compensation function is determined. If so, the knock compensation function is enabled and the process proceeds to step A2. If not, the knock-induced electronic main water pump speed compensation value is set to 0, the knock compensation function is disabled, and the process proceeds to step A4. If the engine water temperature under the current operating condition is less than a threshold value T, or the engine speed under the current operating condition does not fall within the set range, or the engine load under the current operating condition does not fall within the set range, the knock-induced electronic main water pump speed compensation value is set to 0, and the process proceeds to step A4. If the current engine water temperature is greater than T, and the engine speed and load under the current operating condition fall within the set range, the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation function is enabled, and the process proceeds to step A2. The operating range determined by the engine speed and load is generally determined by the standard that the water pump operating power in the main pulse spectrum of the electronic main water pump is less than 0.9 times the maximum power. The engine water temperature threshold T is generally greater than a first temperature and less than a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is 60°C and the second temperature is 80°C.

[0057] In step A2, if knock is detected in at least one cylinder and the cylinder deignition angle caused by knock exceeds the threshold, the process proceeds to A3. If no knock is detected, the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation value is equal to the current value of the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating range, and the process proceeds to A4. If the knock diagnosis flag for one or more cylinders is set and the average deignition angle caused by knock in each cylinder exceeds threshold A, the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation function flag is set, and the process proceeds to A3. If the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation function flag is not set, the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation value is equal to the old value of the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation self-learning register. If no knock is detected in the current operating condition, the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation value is equal to the current value of the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating range, and the process proceeds to A4. The deignition angle threshold A is generally set between -3 and -6 crankshaft angle degrees.

[0058] In step A3, the self-learning value update is performed on the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating condition area, where the updated register learning value is equal to the sum of the old register value and the self-learning offset, and then enters A4. Specifically, under the current operating condition, if it is detected that at least one cylinder has knocked and the deignition angle caused by the knock exceeds the threshold A, the electronic main water pump self-learning register corresponding to the current operating condition area will perform a self-learning value update - the register update value is equal to the old register value plus the self-learning offset, and then enters execution A4. The main water pump compensation self-learning register is divided into areas at fixed intervals according to the speed and load range determined by A1, and is named in a certain order according to certain rules. Each register corresponds to a divided operating condition area. The register self-learning offset is the preset water pump speed or the preset water pump flow. The register self-learning offset is generally set to 0.1 times the maximum speed of the electronic main water pump or 0.1 times the maximum flow.

[0059] In step A4, the electronic main water pump compensation value obtained in step A1 or A2 is compared with the electronic main water pump margin under the current operating condition, and the minimum value is selected as the final output value for the knock compensation function. The knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation value obtained after executing the first three steps is compared with the electronic main water pump margin under the current operating condition. The smaller value is then output to the electronic main water pump main control module as the knock-induced electronic main water pump compensation value for this function under the current operating condition. The electronic main water pump margin under the current operating condition is equal to the difference between the maximum speed or flow rate of the electronic main water pump and the required speed or flow rate output by the electronic main water pump main control module.

[0063] The compensation condition determination module 20 determines whether a condition for enabling the knock compensation function is met based on the first parameter group and the knock compensation parameter if the closed-loop control determination module 10 determines yes.

[0064] Knock compensation determination module 30: If the closed-loop control determination module 20 determines as yes, it determines whether to perform knock compensation based on the knock compensation control offset in the knock compensation parameter; if the closed-loop control determination module 20 determines as no, it starts the closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature; if the output offset of the electronic main water pump is greater than the preset value, knock compensation is performed, and the closed-loop control based on the target water temperature is switched to the open-loop control based on the target water temperature; if the knock compensation control offset is less than or equal to the preset value, the closed-loop control strategy based on the target water temperature is started.
