[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be described below in detail with specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 A flow diagram of a clutch fan control method based on road information provided by one or more embodiments of the present application. The flow can be executed by a corresponding control computing device of the clutch, and some input parameters or intermediate results in the flow allow manual intervention adjustment to help improve accuracy.

[0024] The implementation of the analysis method related to the embodiments of the present application can be a terminal device or a server, and the present application does not make special limitations thereon. For the convenience of understanding and description, the following embodiments are described in detail with the server as an example.

[0025] It should be noted that the server can be a separate device or a system composed of multiple devices, i.e. a distributed server, and the present application does not make specific limitations thereon.

[0026] In the existing fan control strategy, the speed of the fan is determined according to the size of the water temperature. Since the maximum bearing temperature of the engine has a certain allowable value, in some scenarios, the fan can be temporarily suspended, such as when the current water temperature reaches 95 degrees, but the road ahead is a large downhill, the engine will reduce or stop power output, and it can be predicted that the water temperature will not rise or fall much (will not reach the maximum bearing temperature), at this time the fan can be controlled not to run at the speed corresponding to 95 degrees, to save fuel consumption.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 The embodiments of the present application provide a clutch fan control method based on road information, which comprises:

[0028] S101: Obtain vehicle information of the target vehicle and road slope information of the unexplored road section; vehicle information includes at least water temperature information and total vehicle weight information.

[0029] First, it is necessary to obtain the vehicle information of the target vehicle and the road slope information corresponding to the uncharted road section to be entered. It should be noted that the vehicle information here should at least include the coolant temperature and the vehicle's total weight. The coolant temperature refers to the temperature of the coolant in the clutch, and the road slope information includes the curvature, coefficient of friction, and gradient of the road.

[0030] In one embodiment, when acquiring road slope information, the expected driving route of the target vehicle is first determined based on the navigation path of the target vehicle, and then the road slope information within a preset range of the target vehicle is acquired within the expected driving route.

[0031] S102: Obtain downhill section information of unused road sections based on road slope information.

[0032] By obtaining the road slope information, it is determined that the target vehicle will be traversing a downhill section. At this point, it is necessary to obtain the downhill section information. It should be noted that this downhill section information should include the corresponding road slope information and the length of the downhill section.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, when obtaining downhill road information, it is necessary to obtain the initial road slope of the untouched road segment at each road segment point; and reconstruct the road slope using the slope value of the target vehicle at the current time, that is, set the road slope at the current time to zero, and appropriately adjust the road slope corresponding to other untouched road segments to obtain the reconstructed road slope; based on the preset road slope judgment threshold, the untouched road segment is divided into multiple sub-segments so that the reconstructed road slope of each road segment point in a single sub-segment is within the preset road slope judgment threshold.

[0034] S103: Based on downhill road information and vehicle total weight information, determine the expected torque of the target vehicle when it passes through unexplored road sections.

[0035] After determining the downhill section information and the vehicle's total weight, it is necessary to calculate the expected torque required for the target vehicle to traverse this downhill section. The expected torque here refers to the torque required to pass through this downhill section.

[0036] In one embodiment, in determining the expected torque required for the target vehicle to drive through the untraveled section, current vehicle speed data and current gear data of the target vehicle are required; then the road slope and road friction coefficient corresponding to the downhill section are determined based on the downhill section information. Then, based on the road slope, road friction coefficient, and current vehicle speed data and current gear data, the expected torque of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled section is determined.

[0037] S104: Determine the water temperature rise value at the expected torque under the condition that the fan stops rotating.

[0038] After the expected torque is determined, the water temperature rise value corresponding to the expected torque is determined if the fan stops rotating according to the expected torque.

[0039] In one embodiment, in determining the water temperature rise value, the expected torque and instantaneous vehicle speed of the target vehicle at each time point are required, and then the water temperature instantaneous rise rate of the target vehicle at each time point is determined based on a preset water temperature rise rate table; the water temperature instantaneous rise rate at each time point is integrated to obtain the water temperature rise value. Figure 3 A water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table, wherein the x-axis is the expected torque, the y-axis is the current vehicle speed, and the values in the table are the water temperature rise rates corresponding to the current torque and vehicle speed. In the calculation, the driving time is calculated by the road section length and the driving speed, and then the instantaneous rise rate is integrated to obtain the water temperature rise value when driving to the starting point of the downhill.

[0040] Further, in addition to determining the expected water temperature corresponding to the untraveled section and then determining the fan control time, the fan control time can also be determined according to the real-time water temperature of the target vehicle. Specifically, the current water temperature information of the target vehicle is required, and the real-time water temperature information of the target vehicle on the untraveled section is determined according to the current water temperature information and the water temperature rise value; then the fan control time of the target vehicle is determined based on the real-time water temperature information and the engine allowable temperature; at the fan control time, the fan is controlled through the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table.

[0041] S105: Determine the expected water temperature of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled section based on the water temperature rise value and the water temperature information.

[0042] According to the existing water temperature information of the target vehicle and the water temperature rise value, the expected water temperature corresponding to the untraveled section of the target vehicle can be determined.

[0043] S106: If the expected water temperature is lower than the engine allowable temperature, the fan is controlled to stop rotating by the automobile electronic control unit.

[0044] If the expected water temperature is lower than the engine allowable temperature corresponding to the target vehicle, the fan can be controlled to stop by the automobile electronic control unit to save energy.

[0045] In one embodiment, if it can be determined based on the road slope information that the untraveled road of the target vehicle is an uphill road, or the expected water temperature of the target vehicle after traveling on a downhill road is higher than the engine allowable temperature, the current water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table of the target vehicle is obtained, and the fan is controlled according to the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table, that is, the fan speed is controlled in the existing manner.

[0046] In one embodiment, if there is only an uphill road in the untraveled section of the target vehicle, or the road section is complex and uphill and downhill roads alternate, the control time of the target vehicle can be determined based on the real-time water temperature information predicted by the target vehicle. Specifically, the real-time water temperature information of the target vehicle in the uphill road section needs to be determined; the fan control time of the target vehicle is determined based on the real-time water temperature information and the engine allowable temperature; the fan is controlled to stop by the automobile electronic control unit before the fan control time; and the fan is controlled by the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table at the fan control time.

[0047] The engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table can be pre-stored in the storage device of the computer device. When the fan speed needs to be controlled, the computer device can select the engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table from the storage device. Of course, the computer device can also obtain the engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table from other external devices. For example, the engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table are stored in the cloud. When the fan speed needs to be controlled, the computer device can obtain the engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table from the cloud. The embodiment does not limit the acquisition method of the engine allowable temperature, the preset water temperature rising rate table, the water temperature, torque and vehicle speed table.

[0048] As shown in Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application also provides a clutch fan control device based on road information, which comprises at least one processor and a memory in communication connection with the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to:

[0049] Obtain vehicle information of the target vehicle and road slope information of the untraveled road section; the vehicle information at least includes water temperature information and vehicle gross weight information; obtain downhill road section information of the untraveled road section based on the road slope information; determine expected torque of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled road section based on the downhill road section information and the vehicle gross weight information; determine water temperature rise value under the expected torque under the condition that the fan stops rotating; determine expected water temperature of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled road section based on the water temperature rise value and the water temperature information; and control the fan to stop rotating by the automobile electronic control unit if the expected water temperature is lower than the engine allowable temperature.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application further provides a nonvolatile computer storage medium, which stores computer executable instructions, and the computer executable instructions are configured as follows:

[0051] Obtain vehicle information of the target vehicle and road slope information of the untraveled road section; the vehicle information at least includes water temperature information and vehicle gross weight information; obtain downhill road section information of the untraveled road section based on the road slope information; determine expected torque of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled road section based on the downhill road section information and the vehicle gross weight information; determine water temperature rise value under the expected torque under the condition that the fan stops rotating; determine expected water temperature of the target vehicle driving through the untraveled road section based on the water temperature rise value and the water temperature information; and control the fan to stop rotating by the automobile electronic control unit if the expected water temperature is lower than the engine allowable temperature.
