TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of rail transit, in particular to a cooling fan rotating speed control method and device for an internal combustion power pack. BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, the power source of the existing internal combustion power rail transit vehicle is an internal combustion power pack, which is composed of a diesel engine, a generator, a cooling system and the like. The cooling system includes a cooling liquid radiator, a supercharged air radiator and a cooling fan.
[0003] The cooling fan in the existing internal combustion power pack has a relatively high rotating speed at the initial stage of starting, which produces a relatively large noise and affects the experience of passengers waiting for the vehicle. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a cooling fan rotating speed control method and device for an internal combustion power pack to solve the problem of the existing internal combustion power pack, i.e., the cooling fan has a relatively high rotating speed at the initial stage of starting, which produces a relatively large noise and affects the experience of passengers waiting for the vehicle.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions.
[0006] In one aspect, a cooling fan rotating speed control method for an internal combustion power pack is provided, which comprises:
[0007] When T < T1, the rotating speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is adjusted to V0;
[0008] When T1≤T < T2, the rotating speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is adjusted to V1;
[0009] When T2≤T < T3, the rotating speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is linearly adjusted according to the value of T;
[0010] When T≥T3, the rotating speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is adjusted to V m ;
[0011] Wherein, T is the measured value of the supercharged air temperature of the internal combustion power pack, T1 is the supercharged air temperature of the internal combustion power pack when the vehicle stops at a station, T3 is the highest intake air temperature of the diesel engine; V m is the rated rotating speed of the cooling fan, V1 is the preset rotating speed of the cooling fan when the vehicle stops at a station,
[0012] The inventor has found that in the existing power pack, the setting that the rotation speed of the cooling fan is not less than 1 / 3 of the rated rotation speed when the diesel engine is running at idle speed is based on the maximum heat dissipation requirement of the diesel engine when running at idle speed (i.e. when the rail vehicle stops at a station after running for a period of time), at which time the rail vehicle has been running for a period of time and the intake temperature of the diesel engine has already increased, so there is a certain amount of heat dissipation requirement. However, at the initial stage of starting of the rail vehicle, the intake temperature of the diesel engine is not high, and the cooling fan does not need such a high rotation speed to ensure its heat dissipation requirement.
[0013] Therefore, at the initial stage of starting of the rail vehicle, the temperature <T1 of the boost air of the internal combustion power pack is reduced by reducing the rotation speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack from V1 (the set rotation speed of the cooling fan of the existing internal combustion power pack) to V0, which reduces the noise caused by the cooling fan under the premise of ensuring the heat dissipation requirement of the power pack, thereby improving the experience of passengers when waiting for the vehicle. On the other hand, different rotation speeds of the cooling fan are set according to different temperature intervals, which further reduces the energy consumption under the premise of ensuring the heat dissipation requirement of the power pack.
[0014] In some embodiments, the rotation speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is linearly adjusted according to the value of T:
[0015] If ΔT1≤ΔT≤ΔT2, the rotation speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to the first curve;
[0016] If ΔT<ΔT1, the rotation speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to the second curve;
[0017] If ΔT>ΔT2, the rotation speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to the third curve; wherein ΔT is the measured value of the temperature rise rate of the boost air of the internal combustion power pack, ΔT1 is the first temperature rise rate threshold, and ΔT2 is the second temperature rise rate threshold; the expression of the first curve is y=k1*x, the expression of the second curve is y=k2*x, and the expression of the third curve is y=k3*x, y is the rotation speed of the cooling fan, x is the temperature of the boost air of the internal combustion power pack, and k2<k1<k3.
[0018] Through the above adjustment strategy, when the temperature rise rate of the boost air is fast, the speed-up rate of the cooling fan is also increased synchronously, and when the temperature rise rate of the boost air is slow, the speed-up rate of the cooling fan is also decreased synchronously, thereby realizing precise control of the rotation speed of the cooling fan and further reducing the energy consumption under the premise of ensuring the heat dissipation requirement of the power pack.
[0019] In order to realize the overheat protection of the internal combustion power pack, in some embodiments, when T≥T3, if the demand power of the vehicle for the internal combustion power pack continues to increase, the rotation speed of the cooling fan is kept at V m , the rotation speed of the internal combustion power pack is adjusted to idle speed.
[0020] In another aspect, provided is a cooling fan rotating speed control device for an internal combustion power pack, which is applied to a cooling device on the internal combustion power pack, the internal combustion power pack comprising a diesel engine, the cooling device comprising a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor and a cooling fan, the hydraulic pump being in driving connection with the diesel engine, the hydraulic motor being driven by the hydraulic pump, the cooling fan being driven by the hydraulic motor; further comprising an electric regulating valve and a controller,
[0021] The electric regulating valve is used to adjust the pressure of hydraulic oil input into the hydraulic motor to adjust the rotating speed of the cooling fan in response to the instruction of the controller;
[0022] The controller is used to:
[0023] adjust the rotating speed of the cooling fan to V0 when T < T1;
[0024] adjust the rotating speed of the cooling fan to V1 when T1≤T < T2;
[0025] linearly adjust the rotating speed of the cooling fan according to the value of T when T2≤T < T3;
[0026] adjust the rotating speed of the cooling fan to V m when T≥T3;
[0027] wherein T is the measured value of the charge air temperature of the internal combustion power pack, T1 is the charge air temperature of the internal combustion power pack when the vehicle is at a station, T3 is the highest intake air temperature when the diesel engine is running; V m is the rated rotating speed of the cooling fan, V1 is the preset rotating speed of the cooling fan when the vehicle is at a station,
[0028] In some embodiments, when the rotating speed of the cooling fan of the internal combustion power pack is linearly adjusted according to the value of T:
[0029] if ΔT1≤ΔT≤ΔT2, the rotating speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to a first curve;
[0030] if ΔT < ΔT1, the rotating speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to a second curve;
[0031] if ΔT > ΔT2, the rotating speed of the cooling fan is linearly adjusted according to a third curve;
[0032] Wherein, ΔT is the measured value of the temperature rise rate of the turbocharged air of the internal combustion power pack, ΔT1 is the first temperature rise rate threshold, and ΔT2 is the second temperature rise rate threshold; the expression of the first curve is y=k1*x, the expression of the second curve is y=k2*x, and the expression of the third curve is y=k3*x, y is the rotating speed of the cooling fan, x is the temperature of the turbocharged air of the internal combustion power pack, and k2<k1<k3.
[0033] In some embodiments, when T≥T3, if the demand power of the vehicle on the internal combustion power pack continues to increase, the rotating speed of the cooling fan is kept as V m , and the rotating speed of the internal combustion power pack is adjusted to idle speed.
[0034] The present application has at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0035] 1. Reducing the noise caused by the cooling fan under the premise of ensuring the heat dissipation demand of the power pack, thereby improving the experience of passengers waiting for the vehicle.
