It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling fuel injection after vehicle startup, as provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the control of fuel injection after vehicle startup. This method can be executed by a fuel injection control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0033] S110. Obtain the first operating parameters after the vehicle starts. If the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions based on the first operating parameters, determine the vehicle idle roughness factor according to the second operating parameters of the vehicle.

[0034] The first operating parameter may include at least one of the following: start flag, accelerator pedal opening, gear position, engine speed, and vehicle speed. The preset activation condition can be understood as the activation condition for calculating the vehicle idle roughness factor. The vehicle idle roughness factor can be understood as the engine's idle roughness factor after the vehicle is started.

[0035] Specifically, based on the vehicle's own sensors acquiring operating parameters after startup, it is determined whether these parameters meet preset activation conditions. If they do, the vehicle's idle roughness factor is determined based on the vehicle's second operating parameter. If not, the vehicle's operating parameters after startup are continuously acquired and updated.

[0036] Optionally, the preset activation conditions include at least one of the following: after the start flag is reset for a preset time, the accelerator pedal opening is zero, the gear is park or neutral, the engine speed meets a preset speed, and the vehicle speed is zero.

[0037] The preset time can be pre-set based on experience (e.g., set to 3 seconds based on actual rotational speed performance), and this embodiment does not limit it. The preset rotational speed can be pre-set based on experience (e.g., 700 to 1300 revolutions per minute), and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0038] Understandably, after the vehicle enters the start-up control phase, there is a period of engine speed surge after start-up. During this process, engine roughness is relatively high, and the calculation of the idle roughness factor signal is inaccurate. Therefore, a preset delay is required, which means waiting for the vehicle start flag to reset for a preset time. For example, when the vehicle simultaneously meets the following conditions—start flag reset for 3 seconds, accelerator pedal opening is zero, gear is neutral, engine speed is 800 rpm, and vehicle speed is zero—the calculation of the vehicle idle roughness factor is activated. It is worth noting that the preset activation conditions can also be set manually by the user, including but not limited to deleting, adding, and changing them.

[0039] Optionally, the second operating parameter includes the rotation angle of the vehicle engine; determining the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the second operating parameter includes: determining the initial idle roughness factor of the vehicle based on the time taken for the engine to rotate a preset angle; and amplifying and filtering the absolute value of the initial idle roughness factor to obtain the vehicle idle roughness factor.

[0040] Specifically, the initial idle roughness factor of the vehicle is determined by acquiring the time taken for the transmitter to rotate a preset angle, and based on the difference between the time taken for the transmitter to rotate the preset angle. The initial idle roughness factor includes both positive and negative values. The absolute value of the initial idle roughness factor is amplified and low-pass filtered, and the processed absolute value of the initial idle roughness factor is used as the vehicle's idle roughness factor.

[0041] For example, when the vehicle starts and the engine is idling, the engine needs to calculate the torque required for its own operation to overcome its own frictional torque and the load torque of auxiliary components such as the transmission and water pump, so that the engine can run at a stable speed. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] Where M is the engine combustion torque, W is the engine resistance load torque, and θ is the moment of inertia. This is the angular acceleration at the flywheel end.

[0044] When the engine is at normal idling speed, the driving torque generated by the engine is equal to the resistance torque of the vehicle, and the angular acceleration is 0, satisfying the following relationship:

[0045]

[0046] As can be seen from the above formula, the negative angular acceleration caused by unstable engine combustion is directly proportional to the actual torque of the engine at that operating point. When the idle speed is unstable, the engine torque M suddenly drops, causing angular acceleration. The change in angular acceleration and the square difference n of the rotational speed. 2 (i)-n 2 (i+1) is proportional to, and also proportional to, the engine speed n and the reciprocal of the segmented time. They are directly proportional. Therefore, the inverse square difference of the piecewise time intervals can be used to represent the engine idle stability level, i.e., the vehicle idle roughness factor (EIRF), which satisfies the following relationship:

[0047]

[0048] Where t is the time it takes for the signal wheel to rotate 180 degrees in a four-cylinder engine, which is the crankshaft angle corresponding to the effective power output of one cylinder of the engine. The larger the positive value of the vehicle idle roughness factor EIRF, the more unstable the combustion in that cylinder.

[0049] S120. Determine the target standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located.

[0050] The target standard limit can be understood as the standard value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor. The target standard limit can be preset based on experience, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0051] Specifically, historical vehicle operating parameters and / or environmental parameters of the vehicle's historical environment are obtained. Based on the target standard limits corresponding to these historical operating parameters and / or environmental parameters, the target standard limit for the current vehicle idle roughness factor is determined. Alternatively, based on different numerical ranges of vehicle operating parameters and / or environmental parameters, standard limits corresponding to different numerical ranges are determined empirically and stored in a database in the form of a table. The target standard limit for the current vehicle idle roughness factor is determined by looking up the table in the database based on the lookup result.

[0052] Optionally, determining the target standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located includes: determining a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located; and determining the target standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on at least one of the reference standard limit values.

[0053] The reference standard limit can be understood as a reference value for the idle roughness factor standard. The reference standard limit can be preset based on experience, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0054] Specifically, one or more reference standard limits corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor are determined based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the vehicle's environment. The standard limits corresponding to the idle roughness factor are then corrected based on these one or more reference standard limits. The corrected standard limits are then used as the target standard limits corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor.

[0055] Optionally, the third operating parameter includes at least one group of operating parameters, which includes at least one group of parameters such as starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature, engine speed and load, and injection frequency and rail pressure. The environmental parameters include, but are not limited to, altitude coefficient and ambient temperature.

[0056] Based on this, optionally, a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor is determined according to the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located, including at least one of the following operations:

[0057] Based on the vehicle's starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature, a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor is determined.

[0058] Based on the vehicle's engine speed and engine load, a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor is determined.

[0059] Based on the number of fuel injections and rail pressure of the vehicle, a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor is determined;

[0060] Based on the plateau coefficient and ambient temperature of the area where the vehicle is located, a reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle's idle roughness factor is determined.

[0061] Specifically, based on multiple sets of operating parameters, reference standard limits corresponding to different parameter sets are pre-determined and stored in a database in the form of a table. For example, based on experience, the reference standard limit value corresponding to a starting coolant temperature of -30℃ and an actual coolant temperature of -30℃ is set to 1, and the reference standard limit value corresponding to a starting coolant temperature of -30℃ and an actual coolant temperature of -20℃ is set to 0.5, etc. Specifically, after determining the reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor, at least one reference standard limit value corresponding to the interval in which the vehicle idle roughness factor is located is sequentially searched and obtained from the corresponding reference standard limit value table.

[0062] Optionally, determining the target standard limit corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on at least one of the reference standard limits includes: determining the reference standard limits corresponding to the vehicle's starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature as the primary standard limit; adjusting the primary standard limit based on the reference standard limits corresponding to engine speed and engine load, the reference standard limits corresponding to fuel injection and rail pressure, and the reference standard limits corresponding to altitude coefficient and ambient temperature, and using the adjusted primary standard limit as the target standard limit.

[0063] Specifically, if there is only one reference standard limit affecting the vehicle's idling roughness factor, then the target standard limit corresponding to the reference standard limit corresponding to the vehicle's idling roughness factor is directly applied. If there are multiple reference standard limits affecting the vehicle's idling roughness factor, then the reference standard limits corresponding to the vehicle's starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature are determined as the primary standard limit. The primary standard limit is adjusted based on the other reference standard limits, and the adjusted primary standard limit is used as the target standard limit.

[0064] Optionally, adjusting the main standard limits based on the reference standard limits corresponding to engine speed and engine load, the reference standard limits corresponding to fuel injection and rail pressure, and the reference standard limits corresponding to altitude coefficient and ambient temperature, and using the adjusted main standard limits as the target standard limits, includes: using the product of the main standard limits, the reference standard limits corresponding to engine speed and engine load, the reference standard limits corresponding to fuel injection and rail pressure, and the reference standard limits corresponding to altitude coefficient and ambient temperature as the target standard limits.

[0065] For example, if the reference standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle's starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature is A, and the reference standard limit values ​​corresponding to the vehicle are B (engine speed and engine load), C (fuel injection and rail pressure), and D (altitude coefficient and ambient temperature), then the primary standard limit value is determined to be D. The target standard limit value is the product of the primary standard limit value, the reference standard limit values ​​corresponding to engine speed and engine load, fuel injection and rail pressure, and altitude coefficient and ambient temperature, i.e., the target limit value T = D × AB × C. In an optional embodiment, A, B, and C can take values ​​between 0 and 1.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, by determining the standard limits corresponding to different sets of operating parameters and adjusting the main standard limits based on the reference standard limits, the accuracy of the target standard limits is improved.

[0067] S130. Determine the vehicle roughness difference based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit.

[0068] The vehicle roughness difference can be understood as the difference between the vehicle's idle roughness factor and the target standard limit. Specifically, the difference between the vehicle's idle roughness factor and the target standard limit is determined, and the vehicle roughness difference is determined based on this difference.

[0069] S140. Control the fuel injection after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference.

[0070] Specifically, based on the vehicle roughness difference, the amount of fuel injected for fuel injection control after vehicle start-up is determined.

[0071] The technical solution of this invention obtains the first operating parameters of the vehicle after starting, and determines the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the second operating parameters of the vehicle when the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions based on the first operating parameters. It establishes the correspondence between the first operating parameters and the preset activation conditions, and accurately calculates the vehicle idle roughness factor when the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions. Then, it determines the target standard limit corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the third operating parameters of the vehicle and / or the environmental parameters of the vehicle's environment. It can accurately determine the target standard limit corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor, and then determines the vehicle roughness difference based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit. It accurately determines the difference between the idle roughness factor and the target standard limit. Finally, it controls the fuel injection after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference, solving the problem of unstable idling after vehicle start-up leading to a lower driving experience for the user, and achieving the beneficial effect of effectively controlling fuel injection after vehicle start-up and maintaining vehicle idle stability.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] Figure 2a This is a flowchart of a method for controlling fuel injection after vehicle start-up according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment further refines the method for controlling fuel injection after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference described in the previous embodiments. Optionally, controlling fuel injection after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference includes: performing proportional-integral control based on the vehicle roughness difference; determining a target control coefficient based on the result of the proportional-integral control; determining the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine based on the target control coefficient and the current control coefficient of the vehicle; and performing fuel injection control according to the fuel injection control coefficient.

[0074] like Figure 2a As shown, the method includes:

[0075] S210. Obtain the first operating parameters after the vehicle starts. If the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions based on the first operating parameters, determine the vehicle idle roughness factor according to the second operating parameters of the vehicle.

[0076] Optionally, the calculation of the idle speed coarse factor can be exited if the vehicle meets the preset exit conditions based on the fourth operating parameter. The fourth operating parameter includes at least one of the following: engine accessory activation status, gear shift status, engine operating status, and carbon canister status.

[0077] Optionally, the preset exit conditions include at least one of the following: engine accessories working or activated, gear changing from parking or neutral to reverse or drive, engine operating status switching, carbon canister opening, and carbon canister diagnostic operation.

[0078] Specifically, the calculation of the idling rough factor can be terminated when the vehicle meets all preset termination conditions; or the calculation can be terminated when a preset number of preset termination conditions are met according to manual settings; or the calculation can be terminated when a certain preset termination condition is met according to manual settings; this embodiment does not limit these limitations.

[0079] S220. Determine the target standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located.

[0080] S230. Determine the vehicle roughness difference based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit;

[0081] S240. Based on the vehicle roughness difference, determine the target control coefficient based on the results of proportional-integral control.

[0082] Proportional-integral control can be understood as fuel injection-gas injection control. The target control coefficient can be understood as the fuel injection control coefficient for the next vehicle start-up.

[0083] Specifically, proportional control is achieved through a regulator, using the vehicle roughness difference as input. This is processed by an integrator and outputs a target control coefficient after passing through maximum and minimum limits. For example, the target control coefficient is related to the quality of the vehicle's fuel, determined by the fuel quality (e.g., volatility). When the vehicle uses a lower-quality fuel (vapor pressure around 40 kPa), fuel vapor pressure is a crucial indicator of gasoline evaporation performance, related to the vehicle's cold-start performance and evaporative emissions. Good fuel volatility ensures easy engine starting under various conditions; the better the fuel's volatility, the easier it is to vaporize, resulting in smoother engine starting and normal operation under cold or low-temperature conditions. Conversely, poor fuel volatility leads to incomplete vaporization of gasoline components, causing unstable engine operation, incomplete combustion, and ultimately increased fuel consumption and emissions. Using data calibrated with standard fuel quality, when the engine speed fluctuates after starting due to fuel quality (air-fuel ratio lean to above 1.15), and the vehicle idle roughness factor exceeds the target standard limit, counting begins. When the vehicle roughness difference exceeds the preset threshold, proportional-integral control outputs the target control coefficient to enrich the fuel, restoring the air-fuel ratio to 0.9-1. The vehicle roughness difference gradually returns to near 0, the engine combustion becomes stable, and the target control coefficient gradually becomes 0.

[0084] S250. Determine the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine based on the target control coefficient and the current control coefficient of the vehicle, and perform fuel injection control according to the fuel injection control coefficient.

[0085] Specifically, the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine is determined based on the relationship between the target control coefficient and the current control coefficient of the vehicle.

[0086] Optionally, determining the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine based on the target control coefficient and the current control coefficient of the vehicle, and performing fuel injection control according to the fuel injection control coefficient, includes: if the target control coefficient is greater than the current control coefficient of the vehicle, then determining the target control coefficient as the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine.

[0087] For example, if the target control coefficient for the vehicle's engine during the current cylinder combustion is 1.2 and the current control coefficient is 1, then the fuel injection control coefficient for the next cylinder combustion is determined to be 1.2, which is 0.2 more than the current control coefficient. This means that the vehicle will inject 20% more fuel during the next cylinder combustion. 1.2 is used as the current control coefficient for the next cylinder combustion, and the fuel injection control coefficient for the third cylinder combustion is then determined based on the target control coefficient and the current control coefficient.

[0088] Optionally, determining the fuel injection control coefficient for the next combustion of the engine based on the target control coefficient and the reference control coefficient includes: if the current control coefficient of the vehicle reaches a preset fuel injection control threshold, then stopping the output of the fuel injection control coefficient.

[0089] The preset fuel injection control threshold can be set in advance based on experience, and this embodiment does not limit it.

[0090] It is understandable that during the fuel injection process after vehicle start-up, engine malfunctions can cause the fuel injection control coefficient to be too high, resulting in excessive fuel injection beyond the reasonable fuel injection control threshold. This can lead to more serious negative consequences, such as unstable engine combustion due to excessive fuel injection. For example, if the preset fuel injection control threshold is between 0-30%, and the calculated fuel injection control coefficient is 1.4 while the current control coefficient is 1, then 40% more fuel needs to be injected in the next combustion cycle, exceeding the preset fuel injection control threshold. In this case, it can be determined that an engine malfunction is causing unstable combustion, and the output of the fuel injection control coefficient will be stopped.

[0091] In this embodiment of the invention, the fuel injection coefficient for the next engine combustion is determined by calculating the target control coefficient and the vehicle's current control coefficient, thereby adjusting the fuel injection quantity for the next engine combustion. Furthermore, when the fuel injection quantity exceeds a preset threshold, engine abnormalities are detected promptly, thus preventing unstable engine combustion due to excessive fuel injection and improving engine combustion stability.

[0092] The technical solution of this embodiment uses proportional-integral (PI) control based on vehicle roughness difference to determine a target control coefficient. It accurately determines the target control coefficient required for adjustment under the current engine combustion conditions. Then, based on the target control coefficient and the vehicle's current control coefficient, it determines the fuel injection control coefficient for the next engine combustion cycle and performs fuel injection control accordingly. This allows for accurate adjustment of the fuel injection quantity based on the fuel injection control coefficient during the next engine combustion cycle, improving the stability of engine combustion.

[0093] Figure 2b A flowchart is provided as an optional example of a fuel injection control method after vehicle start-up. For example... Figure 2b As shown, the fuel injection control method after the vehicle starts specifically includes the following steps:

[0094] Step 1: Obtain the first operating parameters of the vehicle after it starts.

[0095] Step 2: Determine whether the preset activation conditions of the idle roughness factor are met.

[0096] The preset activation conditions include at least one of the following: after the start flag is reset for a preset time, the accelerator pedal opening is zero, the gear is park or neutral, the engine speed meets a preset speed, and the vehicle speed is zero.

[0097] Step 3: If the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions based on the first operating parameters, determine the vehicle idle roughness factor according to the vehicle's second operating parameters.

[0098] Step 4: Determine the target standard limit value corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the vehicle's third operating parameters and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located.

[0099] Step 5: Determine the vehicle roughness difference based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit.

[0100] Figure 2c A flowchart illustrating the calculation of vehicle roughness difference is provided as an optional example of a fuel injection control method after vehicle start-up. (Example:) Figure 2c As shown, the initial idle roughness factor of the vehicle is determined based on the time taken for the engine to rotate a preset angle. The absolute value of the initial idle roughness factor is amplified and filtered to obtain the vehicle idle roughness factor. Reference standard limits are determined for the starting coolant temperature and actual coolant temperature, engine speed and load, injection frequency and rail pressure, and plateau coefficient and ambient temperature. Based on the reference standard limits for engine speed and engine load, injection frequency and rail pressure, and plateau coefficient and ambient temperature, the main standard limits are adjusted, and the adjusted main standard limits are used as the target standard limits. The vehicle roughness difference is determined based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit.

[0101] Step 6: Control fuel injection after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference.

[0102] The technical solution of this embodiment calculates the vehicle idle roughness factor under preset activation conditions that meet the idle roughness factor, and determines the target standard limit based on a preset reference standard limit. The vehicle roughness difference is determined based on the vehicle idle roughness factor and the target standard limit; the difference between the idle roughness factor and the target standard limit is accurately determined; and finally, fuel injection is controlled after vehicle start-up based on the vehicle roughness difference. This solves the problem of unstable idling speed after vehicle start-up leading to a lower driving experience for the user, achieving the beneficial effect of effectively controlling fuel injection after vehicle start-up and maintaining vehicle idle stability.

[0103] Example 3

[0104] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a control device for fuel injection after vehicle start-up, provided in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Figure 3As shown, the device includes: an idle roughness factor determination module 310, an idle roughness factor determination module 320, a roughness difference determination module 330, and a fuel injection control module 340.

[0105] The system includes: an idle roughness factor determination module 310, which acquires the first operating parameters after vehicle startup; and a second operating parameter of the vehicle, which determines the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the second operating parameters of the vehicle, after detecting that the vehicle meets the preset activation conditions based on the first operating parameters. A target standard limit determination module 320 is used to determine the target standard limit corresponding to the vehicle idle roughness factor based on the third operating parameters of the vehicle and / or the environmental parameters of the environment in which the vehicle is located.
