The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0057] The present invention provides a method, device and electronic equipment for calculating the output torque of a gas engine, which are respectively described below.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a method for calculating the output torque of a gas engine, comprising:

[0059] Step 110, obtaining an angle deviation between a required ignition angle and a basic ignition angle, and determining an actual ignition efficiency under a current working condition based on the angle deviation;

[0060] Step 120, obtaining an EGR (Exhaust Gas Re-circulation) rate, a correction coefficient corresponding to an air-fuel ratio, an engine speed, and an engine intake density, and determining an engine combustion efficiency based on the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed, the engine intake density, and a corresponding engine combustion mode;

[0061] Step 130, determining the actual indicated torque of the engine based on the engine combustion efficiency, the actual ignition efficiency, the engine intake density, the fuel gas calorific value, the air-fuel ratio, the engine single cylinder exhaust volume and the number of engine cylinders;

[0062] Step 140, obtaining a gas circuit pressure loss, a gas circuit torque loss, a pump pressure loss, and an intake manifold pressure, and determining a total engine pressure loss based on the gas circuit pressure loss, the gas circuit torque loss, the pump pressure loss, the intake manifold pressure, and the atmospheric pressure;

[0063] Step 150: Determine the engine output torque based on the engine indicated torque, the engine total pressure loss, the engine single cylinder exhaust volume and the engine cylinder number.

[0064] It can be understood that the engines in the present invention all refer to gas engines; 1) firstly obtain the required ignition angle θ output by the engine ignition control system under the current working condition from the electronic control unit (ECU) 1 Then, the basic ignition angle (MBT) table MAP1 is checked through the engine intake density ρ and the engine speed S to obtain the MBT ignition angle θ under this working condition. 2 , the basic ignition angle corresponds to the maximum torque at the same engine intake density and engine speed, and the ignition efficiency at this time is 1. Then calculate the required ignition angle θ 1 and MBT ignition angle θ 2 Deviation Δθ:

[0065] Δθ=θ 1 -θ 2 (1)

[0066] The actual ignition efficiency η under this condition can be obtained by looking up the torque efficiency correction table Table 1 through the deviation Δθ 1 .

[0067] 2) The combustion efficiency of a gas engine is not only related to the operating conditions (engine speed S, engine intake density ρ, EGR rate r, air-fuel ratio AFR), but also to the engine combustion mode. There are four main engine combustion modes that affect combustion efficiency: three-way catalyst (TWC) start-up mode, engine scavenging mode, engine torque limit mode, and engine normal combustion mode. The three-way catalyst start-up mode requires the engine to provide a large amount of heat in the original exhaust, so the engine needs to make the combustion in the cylinder worse, thereby affecting the combustion efficiency; the engine scavenging mode is to discharge the excess gas in the cylinder. At this time, the demand for work in the cylinder is not great, so the combustion efficiency will be adjusted; there are many torque restrictions in the engine torque path (smoke restriction, cruise restriction, auxiliary power output (PTO) restriction, maximum fuel limit, etc.). At this time, since the operating conditions have been determined, the torque restriction requirements can only be met by adjusting the combustion efficiency in the cylinder; other modes belong to the normal combustion mode of the engine.

[0068] In some embodiments, obtaining the angle deviation between the required ignition angle and the basic ignition angle includes:

[0069] The required ignition angle is obtained, and a preset basic ignition angle table is queried through the engine intake density and the engine speed to determine the basic ignition angle under the current working condition, and to determine the angle deviation between the required ignition angle and the basic ignition angle.

[0070] It can be understood that the preset basic ignition angle table is provided with values ​​of basic ignition angles under a plurality of different working conditions, and these values ​​can be actually measured in advance under different working conditions.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed and the engine intake density are first obtained, and then the angle deviation between the required ignition angle and the basic ignition angle is obtained. Then, after obtaining the deviation, the engine combustion efficiency is determined based on the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed, the engine intake density and the corresponding engine combustion mode.

[0072] In some embodiments, the engine combustion mode includes: normal combustion mode, three-way catalyst start-up mode, engine scavenging mode and engine torque limiting mode;

[0073] The determining of the engine combustion efficiency based on the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed, the engine intake density and the corresponding engine combustion mode includes:

[0074] Based on the engine speed and the engine intake density, a combustion efficiency table corresponding to the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is searched to obtain the initial combustion efficiency of the engine under the engine combustion mode of the current working condition;

[0075] In the case where the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the normal combustion mode, the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode is determined based on the EGR rate, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode, the combustion efficiency of the engine when the EGR is fully open in the normal combustion mode, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio; wherein the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode is the combustion efficiency of the engine when the EGR is fully closed in the normal combustion mode;

[0076] When the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the engine torque limiting mode, the target engine combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode is determined based on the EGR rate, the initial engine combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode, the engine combustion efficiency when the EGR is fully open in the engine torque limiting mode, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio; wherein the initial engine combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode is the engine combustion efficiency when the EGR is fully closed in the engine torque limiting mode;

[0077] When the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the three-way catalyst start-up mode, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode is corrected based on the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode;

[0078] When the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the engine scavenging mode, correcting the engine initial combustion efficiency in the engine scavenging mode based on the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the engine target combustion efficiency in the engine scavenging mode;

[0079] When the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the EGR full-open mode, the engine initial combustion efficiency in the EGR full-open mode is determined as the engine target combustion efficiency in the EGR full-open mode.

[0080] It is understandable that the combustion efficiency table corresponding to each mode can be obtained in advance through engine testing, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio can be used to characterize the influence of the air-fuel ratio on the engine output torque, which can be measured through engine testing. Specifically, multiple groups of air-fuel ratios and their corresponding engine output torques are measured, and the ratio of each engine output torque to the maximum air-fuel ratio therein is used as the engine output torque or the correction coefficient of the air-fuel ratio corresponding to the engine output torque.

[0081] Further, determining the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode based on the EGR rate, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode, the combustion efficiency of the engine when the EGR is fully open in the normal combustion mode, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio includes:

[0082] The difference between the engine combustion efficiency when the EGR is fully open in the normal combustion mode and the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode is multiplied by the EGR rate and then added to the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode to obtain a first value, and the first value is multiplied by the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the normal combustion mode;

[0083] In the case where the engine combustion mode of the current working condition is the engine torque limiting mode, determining the engine target combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode based on the EGR rate, the engine initial combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode, the engine combustion efficiency when the EGR is fully open in the engine torque limiting mode, and the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, includes:

[0084] The difference between the engine combustion efficiency when EGR is fully open in the engine torque limiting mode and the engine initial combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode is multiplied by the EGR rate and then added to the engine initial combustion efficiency in the engine torque limiting mode to obtain a second value. The second value is multiplied by the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the engine target combustion efficiency in the normal combustion mode.

[0085] Further, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode is corrected based on the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode, including:

[0086] Multiplying the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio by the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode;

[0087] The correcting the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode based on the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode includes:

[0088] The correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio is multiplied by the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode to obtain the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode.

[0089] It can be understood that the combustion efficiency table MAP2 under the normal combustion mode of the engine is obtained by looking up the engine speed S and the engine intake air density ρ to obtain the combustion efficiency ε under the normal combustion mode of the working condition. 1, that is, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine under normal combustion mode.

[0090] The combustion efficiency table MAP3 under the three-way catalyst ignition mode is obtained by looking up the engine speed S and the engine intake air density ρ to obtain the combustion efficiency ε under the TWC ignition mode under this working condition. 2 , that is, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst ignition mode.

[0091] The combustion efficiency table MAP4 under the engine scavenging mode is obtained by looking up the engine speed S and the engine intake air density ρ to obtain the combustion efficiency ε under the engine scavenging mode under this working condition. 3 , that is, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode.

[0092] The combustion efficiency table MAP5 under the engine torque limit mode is obtained by looking up the engine speed S and the engine intake density ρ to obtain the combustion efficiency ε under the engine torque limit mode under this working condition. 4 , that is, the initial combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine torque limited mode.

[0093] By checking the EGR full-open combustion efficiency table MAP6 through the engine speed S and the engine intake density ρ, the engine combustion efficiency ε when the EGR is fully open in the normal combustion mode is obtained. 5 , engine combustion efficiency ε when EGR is fully open in engine torque limit mode 5 '. In general, EGR is only turned on in the normal combustion mode of the engine and the engine torque limit mode, so the combustion efficiency after correction in the normal combustion mode of the engine ε 6 、Combustion efficiency after correction in engine torque limit mode ε 7 :

[0094] ε 6 =ε 1 +r×(ε 5 -ε 1 ) (2)

[0095] ε 7 =ε 4 +r×(ε 5 '-ε 4 ) (3)

[0096] Wherein, r represents the EGR rate.

[0097] The air-fuel ratio also affects the combustion efficiency. Tests show that the combustion efficiency is best when AFR is around 13.5. Figure 2 As shown, the correction coefficient will be obtained by looking up the combustion efficiency correction Table 2 according to the air-fuel ratio AFR

[0098] In summary, after selecting the engine combustion mode and combining the correction coefficient, the engine combustion efficiency ε under this working condition can be obtained:

[0099]

[0100] More specifically, the target combustion efficiency of the engine in the three-way catalyst start-up mode is The target combustion efficiency of the engine in the engine scavenging mode is The target combustion efficiency of the engine in normal combustion mode is The target combustion efficiency of the engine in the torque-limited mode is

[0101] In some embodiments, the calculation formula corresponding to the actual indicated torque of the engine is:

[0102]

[0103] Among them, η 1 is the actual ignition efficiency, ε is the engine combustion efficiency, C is the fuel gas calorific value, ρ is the engine intake density, AFR is the air-fuel ratio, V is the exhaust volume of a single cylinder of the engine, and m is the number of engine cylinders.

[0104] In some embodiments, determining the total engine pressure loss based on the gas circuit pressure loss, the gas circuit torque loss, the pumping pressure loss, the intake manifold pressure and the atmospheric pressure includes:

[0105] The difference between the intake manifold pressure and the atmospheric pressure is summed with the gas circuit pressure loss, the gas circuit torque loss and the pump gas pressure loss to obtain the total pressure loss of the engine.

[0106] It can be understood that the air path pressure loss P can be obtained by looking up the air path friction loss table MAP7 through the engine speed S and the engine intake air density ρ. 1 , the gas circuit torque loss P is obtained by checking the oil circuit friction loss table MAP8 through the engine speed S and the engine oil temperature t 2 ; Check the pump air loss table MAP9 through the speed S and engine intake air density ρ to get the pump air pressure loss P 3 ; By comparing the atmospheric pressure P amb and intake manifold pressure P in Get the exhaust loss pressure P 4 The total pressure loss ΔP is:

[0107] ΔP=P 1 +P 2 +P 3 +(P in -P amb) (6)

[0108] In some embodiments, the calculation formula of the gas engine output torque is:

[0109]

[0110] Among them, T 1 is the indicated torque of the engine, V is the exhaust volume of a single cylinder of the engine, m is the number of cylinders of the engine, ΔP is the total pressure loss of the engine, T 2 A torque is output for the engine.

[0111] In summary, the method for calculating the output torque of a gas engine provided by the present invention includes: obtaining the angle deviation between the required ignition angle and the basic ignition angle, and determining the actual ignition efficiency under the current working condition based on the angle deviation; obtaining the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed and the engine intake density, and determining the engine combustion efficiency based on the EGR rate, the correction coefficient corresponding to the air-fuel ratio, the engine speed, the engine intake density and the corresponding engine combustion mode; determining the actual indicated torque of the engine based on the engine combustion efficiency, the actual ignition efficiency, the engine intake density, the calorific value of the gas, the air-fuel ratio, the exhaust volume of a single cylinder of the engine and the number of cylinders of the engine; obtaining the air path pressure loss, the air path torque loss, the pumping pressure loss and the intake manifold pressure, and determining the total pressure loss of the engine based on the air path pressure loss, the air path torque loss, the pumping pressure loss, the intake manifold pressure and the atmospheric pressure; and determining the engine output torque based on the engine indicated torque, the total pressure loss of the engine, the exhaust volume of a single cylinder of the engine and the number of cylinders of the engine.
