[0002] With global environmental issues becoming increasingly prominent, clean energy vehicles are gradually becoming the mainstream development direction of the automotive industry. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, as a type of clean energy device, utilize the core technology of their fuel cells—a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the presence of a catalyst—to generate electricity. The fuel cell system is the key energy supply subsystem that controls this chemical reaction to provide power for the vehicle's operation. It plays a crucial role in the overall power system of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and its proper operation directly affects the normal operation of the entire vehicle.

[0003] Currently, existing fault detection methods for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can only identify whether the fuel cell system is operating normally or has stopped operating, but cannot determine the specific reason for the fuel cell system to stop operating. Furthermore, there are many reasons that can cause the fuel cell system to stop operating, which increases the difficulty of troubleshooting and requires a lot of time to investigate the cause of the shutdown, resulting in low efficiency in troubleshooting fuel cell system shutdown. Summary of the Invention

[0063] Existing fault detection methods for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can only identify whether the fuel cell system is operating normally or has stopped, but cannot determine the specific cause of the shutdown. Furthermore, there are many possible causes for fuel cell system shutdown, increasing the difficulty of troubleshooting and requiring a significant amount of time, resulting in low efficiency in identifying the cause of fuel cell system shutdowns. This invention provides a fault diagnosis method for fuel cell vehicles, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] 101. When the detection result of the fuel cell system operation is received as a shutdown state, obtain the condition trigger parameters of the vehicle control strategy and the fault information of the candidate associated objects.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, the fuel cell system is a subsystem within the fuel cell power system of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The scenario for testing the fuel cell system can be either a vehicle development and testing scenario or a normal usage scenario. The operating state of the fuel cell system is affected not only by the state of its own components but also by the vehicle's control strategy and the operating state of other related systems or components. For example, faults in the vehicle's power battery, motor, or power supply may cause the fuel cell system to shut down, and faults in other components may also cause the fuel cell system to reduce load and shut down. Therefore, the cause of fuel cell shutdown cannot be directly determined; it requires analysis based on relevant vehicle control parameters and fault information from other systems or components that may cause the fuel cell system to shut down to determine the specific cause. The vehicle control strategy includes multiple matching conditions that can trigger vehicle control. The triggering parameters are parameters corresponding to these matching conditions. For example, the state of charge (SOC) and temperature of the component are triggering parameters. When these parameters meet the matching conditions in the vehicle control strategy, the vehicle control system will issue a shutdown control command to the fuel cell system. Among them, the candidate associated objects are determined based on the relationship between systems and historical experience. Once they fail, they will cause the fuel cell system to shut down. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain the failure information of the candidate associated objects as the basis for cause analysis.

[0066] It should be noted that the conditional trigger parameters are used as the basis for judging the execution of vehicle control, rather than the shutdown control command sent by the vehicle controller. This is because during the vehicle development and testing phase, there may be cases where the vehicle control strategy is flawed. If the shutdown control command is used as the basis for judgment, the error in the vehicle control strategy cannot be detected. For example, a lithium battery failure may cause a shutdown, which should not trigger the vehicle control. However, due to the strategy error, the vehicle controller also issues a shutdown command. If the vehicle control situation is judged first in this case, the shutdown cause will be directly identified as a vehicle control shutdown, without finding the real shutdown cause - the lithium battery failure.

[0067] 102. Determine the shutdown diagnosis result of the fuel cell system based on the fault information and / or the matching result of the condition triggering parameters and the vehicle control strategy.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the shutdown diagnosis result includes at least one of the shutdown cause and the shutdown-related object. The shutdown cause includes vehicle control shutdown, fault shutdown, and other occasional shutdown. Since the main causes of fuel cell system shutdown include both vehicle control shutdown and fault shutdown, the specific cause is identified based on fault information and conditional triggering parameters. Specifically, if any of the candidate related objects fails, it indicates that the current fuel cell system shutdown state is caused by a fault, and the specific fault subject, i.e., the shutdown-related object, can be determined based on the candidate related objects corresponding to the fault information. If the conditional triggering parameters match the vehicle control strategy, it indicates that the vehicle controller's shutdown strategy for the fuel cell system was triggered before the fuel cell system shutdown, and the vehicle controller issued a shutdown command to the fuel cell system. It can be determined that the current shutdown cause is caused by the control of the vehicle controller, and the component that triggered the vehicle control strategy can be determined based on the data acquisition object corresponding to the conditional triggering parameters. If neither of the two reasons is met, it indicates that the current shutdown is not caused by a failure of the vehicle controller or the candidate associated object, but by an unconventional cause, such as an error in the control strategy during the development and testing phase, which is classified as an other occasional shutdown cause.

[0069] It should be noted that the process of confirming fault information and the process of confirming the matching results between the conditional trigger parameters and the vehicle control strategy are not sequentially related, and only one of them needs to be confirmed. For example, if a fault shutdown is confirmed first, the matching of conditional trigger parameters and the vehicle control strategy can be skipped, and the shutdown cause can be directly confirmed as a fault shutdown. Alternatively, if a vehicle control shutdown is confirmed first, the fault information can be confirmed without further confirmation, and the shutdown cause can be directly confirmed as a vehicle control shutdown. Alternatively, the fault information can be further confirmed; if it is a fault shutdown, then it can be confirmed as a fault shutdown. The strategy for confirming the shutdown cause can be set according to specific application requirements, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations. By matching the fault information of candidate associated objects and the conditional trigger parameters with the vehicle control strategy, the specific cause of the fuel cell system shutdown can be distinguished, and the specific shutdown associated object leading to the fault shutdown can be identified, thereby providing an accurate reference for subsequent maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0070] 103. Generate a prompt message indicating the type of shutdown fault based on the shutdown diagnosis results, and send the prompt message to the target terminal.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, after confirming the shutdown diagnosis result, to further improve the efficiency of troubleshooting, the matching shutdown fault category for the current shutdown is determined based on the shutdown diagnosis result. For example, a vehicle control shutdown may not require personnel to repair specific components, only requiring vehicle restart operations, so the shutdown fault category can be set to a lower level category; a fault shutdown, on the other hand, is highly likely to require professional personnel to repair specific components, so the shutdown fault category can be set to a higher level category, and a prompt message is sent to the target terminal. The target terminal can be the in-vehicle display terminal, the owner's mobile terminal, or a vehicle-linked maintenance personnel or a vehicle development test terminal, etc., and this embodiment of the invention does not make specific limitations. The prompt message may include not only the shutdown fault category, but also comprehensive information such as the shutdown cause and fault location, for example, "A fault in the fuel cell system itself caused the fuel cell system to shut down, the fault name is: A, and the shutdown fault category is the second shutdown fault category," and this embodiment of the invention does not make specific limitations.

[0072] It should be noted that by classifying downtime faults, more accurate response suggestions can be provided to vehicle drivers and maintenance personnel, making the direction of troubleshooting clearer, reducing troubleshooting time, and thus effectively improving the efficiency of troubleshooting fuel cell system downtime causes.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further illustration and limitation, such as Figure 2As shown, the steps for determining the shutdown diagnostic result of the fuel cell system based on the fault information and / or the matching result of the conditional triggering parameters with the vehicle control strategy include:

[0074] 201. Based on the fault information, determine the first investigation result. If the first investigation result contains a shutdown-related object, then determine the shutdown cause of the shutdown diagnosis result as a fault shutdown.

[0075] 202. If the first investigation result does not contain a shutdown-related object, then the second investigation result is determined based on the matching result of the condition triggering parameter and the vehicle control strategy. If the second investigation result indicates that the shutdown reason is a vehicle control shutdown, then the shutdown reason of the shutdown diagnosis result is determined to be a vehicle control shutdown.

[0076] 203. If the second investigation result indicates that the shutdown cause is a non-vehicle control shutdown, then the shutdown diagnosis result is determined to be a shutdown caused by other occasional reasons.

[0077] In this embodiment of the invention, fault information is determined first. If the first investigation result includes a shutdown-related object, it indicates that there is an object among the candidate related objects that caused the fuel cell system to shut down due to a fault, and the shutdown cause is determined to be a fault shutdown. If the first investigation result does not include a shutdown-related object, the obtained conditional triggering parameters are further matched with the matching conditions in the vehicle control strategy. If the matching result indicates that the conditional triggering parameters triggered the vehicle controller's control action on the fuel cell, the shutdown cause is determined to be a vehicle control shutdown. If the matching result indicates that the conditional triggering parameters did not trigger the vehicle controller's control action on the fuel cell, it indicates that the shutdown cause is neither a fault shutdown nor a vehicle control shutdown, and the shutdown cause is determined to be a shutdown caused by other occasional reasons.

[0078] It should be noted that, since malfunctions and vehicle control issues may occur simultaneously—for example, a hydrogen system malfunction might cause the hydrogen system controller to send a malfunction report to the vehicle, and the vehicle controller, based on the received malfunction report, to send a shutdown control command to the fuel cell system—although the fuel cell system's shutdown action is based on the vehicle control command, the root cause is still the malfunction. Therefore, prioritizing malfunction troubleshooting will further improve the accuracy of malfunction diagnosis.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the step of determining the second screening result based on the matching result of the conditional triggering parameters and the vehicle control strategy includes:

[0080] If the first condition triggering parameter matches any of the matching conditions in the fault and parameter mutation control strategy, a second investigation result is generated to characterize the vehicle control shutdown caused by parameter mutation.

[0081] If the second condition triggering parameter matches any of the matching conditions in the energy control strategy, a second investigation result is generated to characterize the energy strategy causing the vehicle control to stop.

[0082] In this embodiment of the invention, the vehicle control strategy includes an energy control strategy and a fault and parameter mutation control strategy. The condition triggering parameters include a first condition triggering parameter and a second condition triggering parameter, wherein the generation time of the first condition triggering parameter is earlier than the generation time of the second condition triggering parameter. That is, if the generation time of the second condition triggering parameter is time T, then the generation time of the first condition triggering parameter is time T-1. Since parameter mutations are sporadic events, such as rechargeable current and maximum hydrogen leakage, they may suddenly change or be lost in an instant. However, this state is not continuous and may recover after the fuel cell system shuts down. The state of the parameters that the energy control strategy needs to match will persist for a period of time. Therefore, the parameters used for matching the energy control strategy can be collected at the time of fuel cell shutdown or a time close to the shutdown time, i.e., the second condition triggering parameter. The parameters for the parameter mutation strategy need to be matched with the parameters generated before shutdown, i.e., the first condition triggering parameter, and the matching conditions in the fault and parameter mutation control strategy.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the step of determining the first investigation result based on the fault information includes:

[0084] For the system object, if the fault level in the fault information is greater than a preset level threshold, the system object is identified as a shutdown-related object, and a first investigation result is generated based on the fault information of the system object.

[0085] For the component object, if the fault type of the component object matches the shutdown-related fault type, then the component object is identified as a shutdown-related object, and a first investigation result is generated based on the fault information of the component object.

[0086] In this embodiment of the invention, candidate shutdown-related objects include system objects and component objects. Fault information includes fault level and fault type. For systemic faults, the fault information will correspond to a specific fault level; only higher-level faults will cause the fuel cell system to shut down. For example, the fault levels of hydrogen systems and fuel cell systems are divided into Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, with severity increasing sequentially. When a Level 2 or Level 3 fault occurs in a hydrogen system or fuel cell system, it will cause the fuel cell system to shut down, but a Level 1 fault will not. Therefore, for system-type faults, the presence of a fault does not automatically determine its connection to a fuel cell system shutdown; rather, the fault level must be considered. For component faults, not all component faults will cause a shutdown. For example, faults in lithium batteries with little correlation to energy supply performance will not cause a fuel cell system shutdown. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the specific type of fault to see if the fault type is related to the fuel cell system shutdown, thereby determining whether the shutdown was caused by a component fault.

[0087] In one embodiment of the invention, for further explanation and limitation, before determining the shutdown diagnostic result of the fuel cell system based on the fault level and / or fault type, the matching result of the condition triggering parameters and the vehicle control strategy, the method further includes:

[0088] Obtain historical downtime and maintenance data of the fuel cell system, and extract component object maintenance data from the historical downtime and maintenance data;

[0089] Configure the component object fault corresponding to the component object maintenance data as a downtime associated fault type.

[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, since component failure does not necessarily lead to fuel cell system shutdown, it is necessary to pre-classify and organize the component failure types that could cause fuel cell system shutdown based on historical shutdown maintenance data, and summarize these failure types in a fault list. Fault types include different fault names, such as temperature faults and charging faults, as well as different fault degrees corresponding to the same fault name. Taking lithium batteries as an example, in the energy flow of the entire vehicle, the electricity generated by the fuel cell system can supply the vehicle and also be used to charge the lithium batteries. If the lithium battery fails, the fuel cell system may need to be shut down. However, to determine which specific types of faults and what degree of fault will lead to shutdown, more accurate data needs to be extracted from historical maintenance data to accurately determine whether the fuel cell system shutdown is caused by a component.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the step of generating prompt information indicating the type of shutdown fault based on the shutdown diagnosis results includes:

[0092] If the shutdown diagnosis result indicates a vehicle control shutdown, and the shutdown diagnosis result does not contain a shutdown-related object, then a prompt message indicating that the shutdown fault category is the first shutdown fault category is generated.

[0093] If the shutdown diagnosis result indicates a fault, a prompt message indicating that the shutdown fault category is the second shutdown fault category is generated.

[0094] In this embodiment of the invention, the first shutdown fault category represents non-repair-related recovery, and the second shutdown fault category represents repair-related recovery. When a fuel cell system shuts down, it may be due to a fault requiring repair, such as a fault in the fuel cell system, hydrogen system, or lithium battery, or it may be due to a fault that does not require repair intervention, such as a fault that can be resolved by injecting hydrogen or restarting the vehicle. Therefore, the recovery method can be categorized based on whether the vehicle currently has a fault. By classifying situations that require repair intervention and those that do not, vehicle drivers or troubleshooters can quickly identify the recovery method, thereby reducing troubleshooting time and improving efficiency.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the method further includes:

[0096] If the shutdown reason is other occasional reasons, then obtain the global fault information at the current moment;

[0097] The global fault information is sorted according to the association level between the fault subject and the fuel cell system to obtain a candidate fault sequence;

[0098] Based on the candidate fault sequence, a prompt message for the third shutdown fault category is generated.

[0099] In this embodiment of the invention, if the shutdown is due to other unforeseen causes, it indicates that the cause of the shutdown cannot be determined based solely on the fault information of the candidate associated objects. In this case, global fault information reported by various vehicle detection systems can be obtained to ensure the comprehensiveness of fault diagnosis. For ease of fault viewing, when there is a large amount of fault information, it can be sorted from largest to smallest according to the correlation between the fault location and the fuel cell system to obtain a candidate fault sequence. Among them, the third shutdown fault category is used to characterize key repair categories that require professional maintenance personnel to analyze and recover. If a shutdown-related object is identified from the candidate fault sequence after analysis, the candidate associated objects can be updated based on the shutdown-related object.

[0100] This invention provides a fault diagnosis method for fuel cell vehicles. In this embodiment, when the detection result of the fuel cell system operation is a shutdown state, at least one of the following is obtained: conditional trigger parameters of the vehicle control strategy and fault information of candidate associated objects. Based on the fault information and / or the matching result of the conditional trigger parameters with the vehicle control strategy, a shutdown diagnosis result of the fuel cell system is determined. The shutdown diagnosis result includes at least one of a shutdown cause and a shutdown associated object. The shutdown cause includes vehicle control shutdown, fault shutdown, and shutdown due to other occasional reasons. Based on the shutdown diagnosis result, a prompt message indicating the shutdown fault type is generated and sent to a target terminal. This significantly reduces the time and difficulty of troubleshooting fuel cell system shutdown causes while ensuring the accuracy of the troubleshooting, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of fuel cell system shutdown cause troubleshooting.

[0101] Furthermore, as a response to the above Figure 1 The implementation of the method shown in this invention provides a fault diagnosis device for fuel cell vehicles, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device includes:

[0102] The acquisition module 31 is used to acquire the conditional trigger parameters of the vehicle control strategy and the fault information of the candidate associated objects when the detection result of the fuel cell system operation is a shutdown state.

[0103] The determination module 32 is used to determine the shutdown diagnosis result of the fuel cell system based on the fault information and / or the matching result of the condition triggering parameters and the vehicle control strategy. The shutdown diagnosis result includes at least one of the shutdown cause and the shutdown associated object. The shutdown cause includes vehicle control shutdown, fault shutdown, and other occasional shutdown.
