[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] An internal combustion engine is a power machine that converts the heat energy released by burning fuel inside the machine into power. It demands higher power density, lower fuel consumption, and a higher exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate. However, due to turbocharger matching and operating condition limitations, it is difficult to achieve a high EGR rate under certain engine operating conditions. Therefore, asymmetric turbocharging technology is used to balance the relationship between high EGR rate and high fuel consumption. However, using an asymmetric turbocharging system to increase the EGR rate usually results in an increase in fuel consumption. Figure 1 A comparison diagram of the turbine inlet pressure and intake pressure of a certain engine in the prior art, provided for embodiments of this application, showing the external characteristics of a small / large flow channel engine. Figure 1 As can be seen from the comparison, when the engine speed is higher than 1700 r / min, the pressure in front of the large flow channel is higher than the intake pressure, resulting in large pumping losses and deteriorating fuel consumption.

[0036] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solution: by controlling the air supply volume of the air supply pipeline and the opening degree of the dual exhaust bypass valve, the intake volume of the engine can be adjusted to achieve a high EGR rate while simultaneously achieving low fuel consumption performance of the engine.

Figure 2 As shown, the engine air supply system provided in this embodiment includes: an electronic control unit 10, a turbocharger 20, an air supply line 30, and a dual exhaust gas bypass valve 40. The turbocharger 20 is connected to the intake line 501 of the engine 50 through the air supply line 30. The exhaust line of the turbocharger 20 is connected to the dual exhaust gas bypass valve 40.

[0038] The electronic control unit 10 can be any type of controller, such as a microcontroller or a single-chip microcomputer.

[0039] Under normal operating conditions, the electronic control unit 10 controls the supercharger 20 to adjust the compressed air supply, and controls the supercharger 20 to send compressed air into the intake manifold 501 of the engine 50 through the air supply line 30, and controls the opening of the dual exhaust bypass valve 40. Here, the electronic control unit 10 can adjust the compressed air supply by controlling the valve opening of the supercharger 20 and the opening of the dual exhaust bypass valve 40 according to the collected engine torque and speed.

[0040] Among them, the booster device 20 can be an asymmetric flow channel booster. Figure 2 Taking the asymmetric flow channel turbocharger as an example: the turbocharger 20 includes an asymmetric flow channel turbine 201 and a compressor 202.

[0041] The air inlet of turbine 201 is connected to the first exhaust pipe 502 of engine 50, and the air outlet of turbine 201 is connected to the aftertreatment system. Turbine 201 is driven by the exhaust gas discharged from the first exhaust pipe 502 of engine 50, which drives compressor 202 to compress air and delivers the compressed air into the intake pipe 501 of engine 50 through the main air supply pipe 30.

[0042] The working principle of an asymmetric flow channel turbocharger is as follows: the turbocharger vortex end has one large and one small flow channel. The small flow channel is used to drive the EGR, while the large flow channel ensures the turbocharger efficiency and provides the engine with a sufficient air-fuel ratio.

[0043] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the system architecture of an engine air supply system provided for another embodiment of this application. (See diagram below.) Figure 3 As shown, in Figure 2 Based on the embodiments, it is known that the supercharging device 20 includes an asymmetric flow turbine 201 and a compressor 202, and the turbine end of the asymmetric flow turbine 201 includes a small flow channel and a large flow channel. The engine air supply system provided in this embodiment includes: an EGR cooler 304, an EGR valve 305, and an intercooler 306; wherein the air inlet of the EGR cooler 304 is connected to the second exhaust pipe 503 of the engine, and the air outlet of the EGR cooler 304 is connected to the air inlet 501 of the engine through the EGR valve 305; the air inlet of the intercooler 306 is connected to the exhaust port of the supercharging device 20, and the air outlet of the intercooler 306 is connected to the exhaust pipe 501 of the engine; the air inlet of the EGR valve 305 is connected to the air inlet of the small flow channel; the EGR cooler and the EGR valve 305 form the first air supply pipe 301; the intercooler 306 forms the second air supply pipe 302.

[0044] The engine air supply system also includes: a first bleed valve 401 and a second bleed valve 402; wherein the inlet of the first bleed valve 401 is connected to the outlet pipe of the small flow channel of the asymmetric flow turbine 201, and the inlet of the second bleed valve 402 is connected to the outlet pipe of the large flow channel of the asymmetric flow turbine 201; the first bleed valve 401 and the second bleed valve 402 form a dual exhaust bypass valve 40.

[0045] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an engine air supply system control method according to an embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be... Figure 2 or Figure 3 The electronic control unit (ECU) in the illustrated embodiment. Under normal operating conditions, the ECU controls the supercharger to adjust the compressed air supply, and controls the supercharger to deliver compressed air into the engine's intake manifold through the supply line, and controls the opening degree of the dual exhaust bypass valves. In this embodiment, the method includes:

[0046] S201: Determine the current operating condition of the engine.

[0047] In this example, determining the current operating condition of the engine includes: acquiring the output power and torque of the transmitter; and determining the current operating condition of the transmitter based on the output power and torque.

[0048] Specifically, the output power and torque of an engine at different speeds can reflect its performance, and therefore the current operating condition of the engine can be determined based on the output power and torque.

[0049] S202: Obtain the EGR rate for the current operating condition.

[0050] In this embodiment, EGR refers to the process of reintroducing exhaust gas from the engine into the intake manifold to mix with fresh air before entering the combustion chamber for combustion. This effectively reduces NOx emissions from the engine. The EGR rate is defined as the ratio of the amount of recirculated exhaust gas to the total amount of intake air drawn into the cylinder. Proper control of the EGR rate is crucial for the purification effect of nitrogen oxides and overall engine emissions. Quantifying the EGR rate allows for the assessment of the impact of exhaust gas recirculation on engine performance. In this embodiment, the EGR rate of the engine under the current operating conditions is obtained, given that the engine's current operating conditions are determined.

[0051] S203: Determine whether the EGR rate of the current operating condition meets the preset EGR rate. If not, proceed to step S204.

[0052] S204: Obtains the engine's torque and speed, and controls the air supply volume of the air supply line and the opening of the dual exhaust bypass valves based on the engine's torque and speed to adjust the engine's intake air volume.

[0053] In this embodiment, the gas supply pipeline includes a first gas supply pipeline and a second gas supply pipeline, and the dual waste gas bypass valve includes a first vent valve and a second vent valve.

[0054] Specifically, the gas supply volume of the gas supply pipeline is controlled by controlling the gas supply volume of the first gas supply pipeline and the second gas supply pipeline, and the opening degree of the dual waste gas bypass valve is controlled by controlling the opening degree of the first vent valve and the second vent valve.

[0055] In summary, this embodiment determines the current operating condition of the engine and obtains the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) rate under the current operating condition. If the EGR rate under the current operating condition does not meet the preset EGR rate, the engine torque and speed are obtained, and the air supply volume of the air supply pipeline and the opening of the dual exhaust bypass valves are controlled according to the engine torque and speed to adjust the engine intake volume, thereby achieving a high EGR rate while achieving low fuel consumption performance of the engine.

[0056] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating an engine air supply system control method according to another embodiment of this application. The execution entity in this embodiment can be... Figure 2 or Figure 3 The electronic control unit in the illustrated embodiment. The supercharging device includes an asymmetric flow turbine, the turbine's vortex end including a small flow channel and a large flow channel. The engine air supply system includes: an EGR cooler, an EGR valve, and an intercooler; wherein the EGR cooler's inlet is connected to the engine's outlet pipe, and the EGR cooler's outlet is connected to the engine's inlet via the EGR valve; the intercooler's inlet is connected to the supercharging device's outlet, and the intercooler's outlet is connected to the engine's inlet pipe; the EGR valve's inlet is connected to the small flow channel's inlet; the EGR cooler and EGR valve form a first air supply line; the intercooler forms a second air supply line. The engine air supply system also includes: a first bleed valve and a second bleed valve; wherein the first bleed valve's inlet is connected to the outlet pipe of the small flow channel of the asymmetric flow turbine, and the second bleed valve's inlet is connected to the outlet pipe of the large flow channel of the asymmetric flow turbine; the first bleed valve and the second bleed valve form a dual exhaust bypass valve. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes:

[0057] S401: Obtain the engine speed.

[0058] S402: Determine whether the engine speed is lower than the minimum speed corresponding to the engine's maximum torque. If so, proceed to step S403.

[0059] In this embodiment, the maximum torque of the engine corresponds to a series of engine speeds at that torque. For example, when the maximum torque of the engine is 200, the engine speed range at that torque is 1200 to 1600. That is, the maximum engine speed corresponding to the maximum torque of 200 is 1600, and the minimum engine speed corresponding to the maximum torque of 200 is 1200.

[0060] S403: Controls the opening of the EGR valve and the closing of the dual exhaust bypass valve to reduce pumping pressure loss, thereby adjusting the engine's intake pressure and intake volume.

[0061] S404: Determine whether the engine speed is higher than the maximum speed corresponding to the engine's maximum torque. If yes, proceed to step S405; otherwise, proceed to step S407.

[0062] S405: Determine whether the EGR valve is fully open. If not, proceed to step S406.

[0063] In this embodiment, the opening degree of the EGR valve is divided into fully open and partially open states. If it is not fully open, it means that the opening degree of the EGR valve is not partially open.

[0064] S406: Controls the opening of the first bleed valve to increase, while simultaneously controlling the opening of the second bleed valve to decrease, in order to reduce pumping pressure loss and thereby adjust the engine's intake pressure and intake volume.

[0065] S407: Determine whether the engine speed is equal to the maximum speed corresponding to the engine's maximum torque. If so, proceed to step S408.

[0066] S408: The EGR valve opens, controlling the opening degree of the first and second bleed valves to increase, thereby reducing the turbine inlet pressure and adjusting the engine's intake pressure and intake volume.

[0067] In summary, this embodiment regulates the engine's intake air volume by coordinating the adjustment of the EGR valve, the first bleed valve, the second bleed valve, and the bleed valve, thereby achieving the goal of controlling the EGR rate while ensuring the engine's low fuel consumption performance.

The turbocharger is connected to the engine's intake pipeline via the air supply pipeline; the turbocharger's outlet pipeline is connected to the dual exhaust gas bypass valve. Under normal operating conditions, the ECU controls the turbocharger to adjust the compressed air supply volume, controls the turbocharger to deliver compressed air to the engine's intake pipeline via the air supply pipeline, and controls the opening degree of the dual exhaust gas bypass valve.

The control module 703 is specifically used to control the EGR valve to open and the dual exhaust gas bypass valve to close if the engine speed is lower than the minimum speed corresponding to the engine's maximum torque, thereby reducing pumping loss pressure and adjusting the engine's intake pressure and intake volume; if the engine speed is higher than the maximum speed corresponding to the engine's maximum torque, it determines whether the EGR valve is fully open; if the EGR valve is not fully open, it controls the opening of the first bleed valve to increase and simultaneously controls the opening of the second bleed valve to decrease, thereby reducing pumping loss pressure and adjusting the engine's intake pressure and intake volume.
