[0052] 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 reference to the embodiments of the present application and the 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0053] The embodiments of the present application provide an automatic gear heavy truck multi-mode engine brake control method, device and medium. By obtaining the whole vehicle information of the automatic gear heavy truck, it is determined whether the corresponding gear signal is upshift. Then, it is determined whether to enter the gear shift mode of the transmission according to the gear signal. In the case of no gear shift, it is further determined whether the engine meets the entering condition of the engine brake. On the basis of meeting the entering condition, the engine enters the corresponding engine brake mode according to the engine brake instruction sent by the driver. In this way, without relying on the whole vehicle retarder, only by cooperating the engine brake and the gear of the transmission, the braking demand of the automatic gear heavy truck when descending can be met. In the case of entering the engine brake mode of the driver or the automatic constant speed engine brake mode, the brake gear level matched with the brake power range is determined according to the target brake power percentage or the target vehicle speed. Then, the brake power is adjusted at the selected brake gear level, so that the engine always remains in a relatively reasonable speed range, the target brake power percentage or the target vehicle speed is maintained, the risk of overspeed is reduced, and the engine brake control of the automatic gear heavy truck is realized.

[0054] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0055] Figure 1 A flowchart of an automatic gear heavy truck multi-mode engine brake control method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure.Figure 1 As shown in the method for controlling the multi-mode engine brake of the automatic transmission heavy truck according to the embodiment of the application, the method comprises the following steps.

[0056] 101, receiving the vehicle information of the automatic transmission heavy truck, and determining whether the engine enters the gearbox shift mode in the multi-mode engine brake according to the gear signal in the vehicle information.

[0057] Specifically, in one embodiment of the application, the server receives the vehicle information corresponding to the automatic transmission heavy truck through the engine controller, and determines the gear signal in the vehicle information. It should be noted that the vehicle information in the embodiment of the application at least includes the vehicle signal, the slope signal, the vehicle weight value and the gear signal, and the vehicle signal includes the clutch signal, the brake signal, the neutral signal, the throttle signal and the vehicle speed signal.

[0058] In the case that the gear signal is the upshift process signal, the server determines that the engine enters the gearbox shift mode in the multi-mode engine brake, and obtains the current gear and the target gear of the engine, and then calculates the speed difference value corresponding to the upshift of the engine from the current gear to the target gear, and determines the number of brake gears to be called according to the speed difference value, and then the server calls the engine brake gear through the number of brake gears to be called, reduces the corresponding engine speed, and realizes the upshift of the engine.

[0059] It should be noted that in the gearbox shift mode, the greater the upshift speed difference, the more engine brake gears need to be called, and more brake gears will accelerate the decline of the engine speed, so that the speed difference is eliminated in a shorter time. Therefore, the server determines the number of brake gears based on the upshift signal required for the engine to reduce the speed difference from the current gear to the target gear.

[0060] Figure 2 The organizational architecture diagram of the automatic transmission heavy truck multi-mode engine brake control system provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown in the method for controlling the multi-mode engine brake of the automatic transmission heavy truck according to the embodiment of the application, the method comprises the following steps.

[0061] 102、In the case that the gear signal is non-shift, determine whether the engine meets the entering condition of engine brake, if yes, receive the engine brake instruction sent by the driver to control the engine to enter the corresponding engine brake mode.

[0062] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, in the case that the gear signal in the vehicle information is non-shift, and the engine controller ECU of the automatic transmission heavy truck does not receive the upshift or downshift instruction from the automatic transmission controller TCU, the engine brake is allowed to enter the driver engine brake mode or the automatic constant speed engine brake mode. The prerequisite for the engine to enter the driver engine brake mode or the automatic constant speed engine brake mode is that the driver does not step on the accelerator pedal (no acceleration demand), the transmission is not in neutral (transmission system connection state), the engine is not in the state of oil injection and is in the state of reverse drag (in the deceleration stage), and the engine speed is greater than n0 (to ensure the minimum effective brake power, the lower the engine speed, the lower the engine brake power). In the case that the above entering conditions are met, the server can enter the corresponding brake mode based on the click trigger of the driver pressing the engine brake activation switch.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, in the case that the engine meets the entering condition of engine brake, the server receives the engine brake instruction sent by the driver based on the click trigger of the driver, and determines the engine brake mode corresponding to the engine brake instruction. In the case that the engine brake mode is the driver engine brake mode, the engine is controlled to enter the driver engine brake mode, or in the case that the engine brake mode is the automatic constant speed engine brake mode, the engine is controlled to enter the automatic constant speed engine brake mode.

[0064] 103、In the case that the engine enters the driver engine brake mode, determine the target brake power percentage of the engine brake, and in the case that the engine enters the automatic constant speed engine brake mode, determine the target speed of the engine brake.

[0065] In the case that the engine wants to enter the driver engine brake mode, the server can activate the switch based on the click trigger of the driver on the driver engine brake mode, so as to enter the driver engine brake mode. After entering the driver engine brake mode, the default target brake power percentage can be determined. Then, the server can gradually adjust the size of the current brake power percentage by receiving the click trigger of the driver based on the "+" "-" button.

[0066] In the case that the engine wants to enter the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode, the server activates the switch based on the long press trigger of the driver on the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode for a preset time length, so that the engine enters the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode. The server determines the initial target speed in the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode based on the vehicle running speed when the driver long-presses the switch. In the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode, the server can also receive the driver's increase or decrease of the target speed value of the constant running through the "+" and "-" buttons, adjust the new target speed value, and restart the closed-loop control process of the vehicle speed based on the above process.

[0067] 104. Determine the braking gear level matched with the braking torque corresponding to the target braking power percentage or target speed in the braking power range corresponding to the plurality of braking gear levels, and adjust the braking power in the braking gear level.

[0068] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the server determines the current speed of the automatic transmission heavy truck and the current transmission gear ratio, and calculates the current speed of the engine according to the current speed and the current transmission gear ratio, and then determines the braking power that can be obtained by the engine at the current speed according to the current speed of the engine and the braking power corresponding to each braking gear level of the engine at the current speed, and calculates the required braking power percentage of the engine through PID and the obtainable braking power.

[0069] Then, the server also needs to determine the speed deviation between the current speed and the target speed, and determine the target braking gear level in the braking power range corresponding to the plurality of braking gear levels according to the speed deviation and the required braking power percentage. It should be noted that the target braking gear level in the embodiment of the present application is used to represent the braking gear level matched with the target braking power percentage of the driver in the engine braking mode, or the braking gear level matched with the braking torque corresponding to the target speed in the automatic constant engine braking mode.

[0070] Specifically, in an embodiment, in the case that the engine enters the driver engine braking mode, the server performs gear up or down operation on the transmission in the braking gear level based on the preset braking power interval gear, so as to adjust the required braking power percentage to the target braking power percentage, and in the case that the engine enters the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode, the server performs corresponding gear up or down operation on the transmission in the braking gear level based on the preset braking torque interval gear, so as to adjust the current speed to the target speed.

[0071] Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the shift-assisted braking power rapid adjustment provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows. Figure 3As shown, in the case of the engine entering the driver engine braking mode, the server takes 10% of the maximum braking power as an interval gear, adjusts the required braking power percentage step by step, and selects the actual braking gear closest to the requirement from the multiple gear braking that meets the braking power percentage according to the required braking power percentage (within the upper deviation P2 and the lower deviation P1 of the requirement), such as 30% of the required braking torque, and selects the 2-gear engine braking to meet 28% of the braking torque closest, and the remaining 2% deviation, and the transmission TCU performs the upshift or downshift of the gearbox to reduce or increase the actual braking torque percentage, and the selected upshift or downshift gear ensures that the engine speed after shifting is within the n1-n2 interval and the shifting time is less than t1.

[0072] In the case of the engine entering the automatic constant-speed engine braking mode, the server calculates the adjustment target value of the real-time required wheel-side braking torque based on the target vehicle speed and the current actual vehicle speed, and the system selects the actual braking gear closest to the requirement from the multiple gear braking that meets the braking torque percentage (within the upper deviation P2 and the lower deviation P1 of the requirement), such as 30% of the required braking torque, and selects the 2-gear engine braking to meet 28% of the braking torque closest, and the remaining 2% deviation, and the transmission TCU performs the upshift or downshift of the gearbox to reduce or increase the actual braking torque percentage, and the selected upshift or downshift gear ensures that the engine speed after shifting is within the n1-n2 interval and the shifting time is less than t1.

[0073] 105, obtain the vehicle speed and engine speed within a preset time interval, and in the case that the rising rate of the vehicle speed within the preset time interval exceeds a first preset threshold or the rising rate of the engine speed within the preset time interval exceeds a second preset threshold, determine that the engine has an overspeed risk.

[0074] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present application, the server monitors the vehicle speed and the engine speed of the automatic-gear heavy truck through the engine controller, and determines the rising rate of the vehicle speed and the rising rate of the engine speed within a preset time interval, and then compares the rising rate of the vehicle speed with a first preset threshold and compares the rising rate of the engine speed with a second preset threshold, in the case that the rising rate of the vehicle speed is greater than the first preset threshold or the rising rate of the engine speed is greater than the second preset threshold, determines that the engine has an overspeed risk, and sends an overspeed warning to the cab instrument display.

[0075] In one embodiment, during the operation of the automatic transmission heavy truck, if the engine controller ECU monitors that the vehicle speed rising rate is greater than a first preset threshold A, or the engine speed rising rate is greater than a second preset threshold B, and the duration exceeds a certain time interval t2, the server determines that there is a reliability risk of reverse drag overspeed of the engine, and the engine controller ECU sends an audible and light alarm to the cab instrument display through the bus message CAN to inform the driver of the overspeed risk.

[0076] 106、In the case of overspeed risk, the automatic transmission heavy truck enters the emergency full braking mode, and the emergency braking mechanism of the engine is started to realize multi-mode engine braking control of the automatic transmission heavy truck.

[0077] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present application, the server enters the automatic transmission heavy truck into the emergency full braking mode in the case of overspeed risk, and starts the emergency braking mechanism of the engine to reduce the engine speed, and also turns on the brake tail light of the automatic transmission heavy truck to remind the rear vehicle, realizing multi-mode engine braking control of the automatic transmission heavy truck.

[0078] In one embodiment, in the case of overspeed risk, the server interrupts the fixed braking power percentage in the original driver engine braking mode or the fixed target vehicle speed in the automatic constant speed engine braking mode, and adjusts the engine braking to the maximum braking power to delay the engine speed rising, and turns on the vehicle brake tail light after braking to prevent sudden braking from increasing the rear vehicle.

[0079] The above is the method embodiment of the present application. Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides an automatic transmission heavy truck multi-mode engine braking control device, the structure of which is shown in Figure 4 .

[0081] at least one processor;

[0082] and a memory in communication connection with the at least one processor;

[0088] obtaining a vehicle speed and an engine speed in a preset time interval, and determining that the engine has an overspeed risk in the case that an ascending rate of the vehicle speed in the preset time interval exceeds a first preset threshold or an ascending rate of the engine speed in the preset time interval exceeds a second preset threshold;

[0089] entering the automatic transmission heavy truck into an emergency full braking mode and starting an emergency braking mechanism of the engine to realize multi-mode engine braking control of the automatic transmission heavy truck in the case that the overspeed risk exists.

[0090] The embodiment of the application further provides a nonvolatile computer storage medium, which stores computer executable instructions, and the computer executable instructions are configured to:

[0091] receiving whole vehicle information of the automatic transmission heavy truck, and determining whether the engine enters a gearbox shifting mode in multi-mode engine braking according to a gear signal in the whole vehicle information;

[0093] determining a target braking power percentage of the engine braking in the case that the engine enters the driver engine braking mode, and determining a target vehicle speed of the engine braking in the case that the engine enters the automatic constant speed engine braking mode;

[0094] According to the brake power range corresponding to the plurality of brake gears, a brake gear that matches the brake torque corresponding to the target brake power percentage or the target vehicle speed in the brake power range is determined, and the brake power is adjusted under the brake gear;

[0095] The vehicle speed and the engine speed in a preset time interval are acquired, and in a case where the rising rate of the vehicle speed in the preset time interval exceeds a first preset threshold or the rising rate of the engine speed in the preset time interval exceeds a second preset threshold, it is determined that the engine has an overspeed risk;

[0096] In a case where the engine has the overspeed risk, the automatic transmission heavy-duty truck is brought into an emergency full-braking mode, and an emergency braking mechanism of the engine is started to realize multi-mode engine braking control of the automatic transmission heavy-duty truck.
