Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle technology, and specifically relates to a method, device, computer-readable medium, and electronic device for controlling a vehicle water valve. Background Technology

[0002] As automobiles have evolved from gasoline-powered vehicles to hybrids and pure electric vehicles, thermal management has become increasingly important. Water circulation serves as the heat source medium and heat source for thermal management. In hybrid vehicles, the heat generated by engine combustion needs to be dissipated, the heat generated by the electric drive system needs cooling, and the passenger compartment needs heat exchange. The balance between these heat sources and heat-requiring components requires water circulation to regulate and effectively utilize heat, reducing overall vehicle energy consumption and environmental pollution. The opening and connection of water circulation loops in vehicles are typically controlled by water valves. To reduce flow resistance, water valves controlling water circulation loops on the market are usually of a fixed interface type, meaning the interface cannot be changed. This means that the water passages connected by the valves are often fixed. To connect water passages that the valves cannot connect, additional valves are needed for adjustment, thus increasing control costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, device, computer-readable medium, and electronic device for controlling a vehicle water valve, so as to improve the flexibility of water circuit control and reduce the cost of water circuit control.

[0004] Other features and advantages of this application will become apparent from the following detailed description, or may be learned in part by practice of this application.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a method for controlling a vehicle water valve is provided, comprising:

[0006] The operating mode of the vehicle water valve is determined, wherein the operating mode of the water valve indicates the interface in the water valve that forms a passage, and the interface is used to connect to the water passage in the vehicle.

[0007] The target stroke position to which the valve core of the water valve needs to rotate is determined according to the operating mode.

[0008] When the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position, the rotation time corresponding to the valve core is calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position;

[0009] The valve core is rotated according to the rotation time so that the water valve operates in the operating mode.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, calculating the rotation time corresponding to the valve core based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position includes:

[0011] The rotation time of the valve core is obtained, where the rotation time represents the time required for the valve core to rotate to the maximum stroke position;

[0012] The rotation time of the valve core is calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position, as well as the rotation time.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, obtaining the rotation time of the valve core includes:

[0014] The first time taken for the valve core to rotate from the initial stroke position to the maximum stroke position and the second time taken for the valve core to rotate from the maximum stroke position to the initial stroke position are obtained;

[0015] The average of the first time and the second time is taken as the rotation time of the valve core.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, calculating the rotation time corresponding to the valve core based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position and the rotation time includes:

[0017] The percentage of the position to be rotated is calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position. The percentage of the position to be rotated represents the proportion of the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position in the rotatable stroke of the valve core.

[0018] The rotation time corresponding to the valve core is obtained by multiplying the preset time coefficient, the proportion of the position to be rotated, and the rotation time.

[0019] In one embodiment of this application, calculating the proportion of positions to be transferred based on the difference between the target travel position and the current travel position includes:

[0020] Calculate the first difference between the target travel position and the current travel position;

[0021] Calculate the second difference between the maximum position and the initial position of the valve core;

[0022] The ratio of the first difference to the second difference is taken as the proportion of the position to be rotated.

[0023] In one embodiment of this application, controlling the rotation of the valve core according to the rotation time includes:

[0024] The rotation stroke of the valve core is obtained by multiplying the rotation time and the rotation speed of the valve core.

[0025] The valve core is controlled to continue rotating from the current stroke position to the desired stroke.

[0026] In one embodiment of this application, controlling the valve core to continue rotating from the current stroke position to the desired rotation stroke includes:

[0027] When the rotation time is a positive number, the valve core is controlled to continue rotating the stroke to be rotated from the current stroke position in the forward direction.

[0028] When the rotation time is negative, the valve core is controlled to continue rotating in the reverse direction from the current stroke position.

[0029] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a control device for a vehicle water valve is provided, comprising:

[0030] A mode determination module is used to determine the operating mode of a vehicle water valve, wherein the operating mode of the water valve indicates the interface that forms a passage in the water valve, and the interface is used to connect to the water circuit in the vehicle.

[0031] The target position determination module is used to determine the target stroke position to which the valve core of the water valve needs to rotate according to the operating mode.

[0032] The rotation time calculation module is used to calculate the rotation time of the valve core based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position when the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position.

[0033] A rotation control module is used to control the rotation of the valve core according to the rotation time, so that the water valve operates in the operating mode.

[0034] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a computer-readable medium is provided having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the vehicle water valve control method as described in the above technical solutions.

[0035] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising: a processor; and a memory for storing executable instructions of the processor; wherein the processor executes the executable instructions to cause the electronic device to perform a vehicle water valve control method as described in the above technical solution.

[0036] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a computer program product or computer program is provided, which includes computer instructions stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A processor of a computer device reads the computer instructions from the computer-readable storage medium and executes the computer instructions, causing the computer device to perform the vehicle water valve control method as described in the above technical solution.

[0037] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the operating mode of the vehicle water valve is first determined. The operating mode of the water valve indicates the interface in the water valve that forms a passage, and the interface is used to connect the water circuit in the vehicle. Then, the target stroke position to which the valve core of the water valve needs to be rotated is determined according to the operating mode. When the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position, the rotation time corresponding to the valve core is calculated according to the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position. Then, the valve core is controlled to rotate according to the rotation time so that the water valve works in the operating mode. In this way, the operating mode of the water valve reflects the connection method of the water circuit in the vehicle. By changing the operating mode of the vehicle, the connection method of the water circuit can be changed, so that the water circuit in the vehicle can be flexibly switched without adding an additional valve, which improves the flexibility of water circuit control and reduces the cost of water circuit control.

[0063] The control method for the vehicle water valve provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0064] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating a vehicle water valve control method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. This method can be implemented by a vehicle water valve control device. The specific implementation process of this method will be described below using the vehicle water valve control device as the execution subject. Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle water valve control method provided in this application embodiment includes steps 210 to 240, as detailed below:

[0065] Step 210: Determine the operating mode of the vehicle water valve, wherein the operating mode of the water valve indicates the interface in the water valve that forms a passage, and the interface is used to connect the water circuit in the vehicle.

[0066] Specifically, the water valve in this embodiment is a six-way water valve, meaning it can form six passages, each corresponding to an interface. The interface connects to the water system in the vehicle. When different interfaces in the water valve form a connecting passage, the water system in the vehicle is switched by changing the connected interface. More specifically, an interface includes one inlet and one outlet; therefore, the water valve in this embodiment includes six inlets and six outlets.

[0067] In this embodiment, the water valve includes a valve body and a valve core. The valve body is equivalent to the outer shell of the water valve, and the valve core is equivalent to the inner core of the water valve. The valve body is an injection molded part, generally made of PA (Polyamide, nylon) series, a thin-shell cylindrical part. The valve body includes six interfaces, corresponding to six inlets and six outlets. For example, Figure 3A The diagram schematically illustrates the bottom of the valve housing provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3A As shown, there are 6 outlets at the bottom of the valve body, numbered 1-6; Figure 3B The diagram schematically illustrates the top view of the valve housing provided in an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3B As shown, the valve housing has six inlets on top, numbered the same as the corresponding outlets. In this embodiment, the valve core is an injection-molded part, typically made of PA series material. It has a two-layer structure, each layer with three baffles. Both ends of the valve core have caps; the lower cap has a wet film bearing, and the upper cap has a gear structure for connecting to the transmission gears of the valve controller VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) assembly. For example... Figure 3C A schematic diagram of the valve core provided in the embodiments of this application is shown.

[0068] In one embodiment of this application, a sealing gasket is further fitted inside the valve housing, for example, Figure 3DA schematic diagram of the sealing gasket provided in this application embodiment is shown. The sealing gasket is a thin, double-layered sheet. The inner layer is made of rubber, typically EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), used for sealing support; the outer layer is made of Teflon, used for lubrication and support. The sealing gasket has six through holes, three long holes and three short holes. During assembly, the sealing gasket is installed inside the valve housing, so that the inlet of the valve housing corresponds one-to-one with the through holes of the sealing gasket. After the sealing gasket is assembled, the valve core is installed inside the valve housing, so that the lower end cap of the valve core mates with the bottom of the valve housing. The valve core is wrapped by the sealing gasket, and the gear structure of the upper end cap of the valve core is exposed for connection with the valve controller VCU assembly. The valve controller VCU assembly is a water valve controller, which includes necessary circuits and transmission devices such as a motor, chip, transmission gears, and Hall sensors, and is encased in an injection-molded shell. Figure 3E A schematic diagram of the valve controller (VCU) assembly provided in this application embodiment is shown. During assembly, the valve controller (VCU) assembly is connected to the gear structure on the upper end cover of the valve core via bolts. After assembly, the valve core can rotate freely along the axis; the rotation of the valve core is limited by a limiting block on the valve housing to the maximum rotation angle, i.e., the maximum stroke position; the valve core presses against the sealing gasket, tightly against the valve housing, forming a certain pre-compression; when the motor of the valve controller (VCU) assembly rotates, it drives the valve core to rotate along the axis.

[0069] In one embodiment of this application, the operating mode of the water valve is controlled by the vehicle thermal management controller (VTCU). The VTCU can determine the operating mode of the water valve based on the current thermal management status of the vehicle. Different operating modes of the water valve refer to the connection of different interfaces within the water valve, in order to... Figure 3A Taking the interface number shown as an example, the operating mode and connection interface of the water valve are shown in Table 1 below.

[0070] Table 1

[0071] Mode Introduction One to two One through one One to two One through one angle 0° 30° 60° 90° Path 1 [4,5,6] 1-4 [1,2,3] 1-5 Path 2 [1,2,3] 2-5 3-6 Path 3 3-6 3-4

[0072] In the table above, the angle corresponding to each mode represents the target stroke position of the valve core. When the water valve is operating in mode 1, the angle is 0°, and the valve core position at this time is generally recorded as the initial stroke position.

[0073] When the water valve operates in mode 1, the valve core structure is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the upper baffle of the valve core is located at interfaces 4, 5, and 6, while interfaces 1, 2, and 3 have no baffles and are open passageways. The lower baffle of the valve core is located at interfaces 1, 2, and 3, while interfaces 4, 5, and 6 have no baffles and are open passageways. This allows for one-to-two and two-to-one connectivity.

[0074] When the water valve is operating in mode 2, the valve core needs to be rotated to a 30° position. The valve core structure is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, interface 1 and interface 4 are connected, interface 2 and interface 5 are connected, and interface 3 and interface 6 are connected; the lower layer of the valve core is completely blocked.

[0075] When the water valve is operating in mode 3, the valve core needs to be rotated to a 60° position. The valve core structure is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the function of one-to-two or two-to-one can be achieved through interface 1, interface 2 and interface 3, and interfaces 4-6 are shorted and not connected; the lower part of the valve core is blocked.

[0076] When the water valve is operating in mode 4, the valve core needs to be rotated to a 90° position. The valve core structure is as follows: Figure 7 As shown, interface 1 and interface 5 are connected, interface 2 and interface 6 are connected, and interface 3 and interface 4 are connected; the lower part of the valve core is blocked.

[0077] Step 220: Determine the target stroke position to which the valve core of the water valve needs to rotate according to the operating mode.

[0078] Specifically, there is a certain mapping relationship between the operating mode of the water valve and the target stroke position that the valve core needs to rotate to, as shown in Table 1 above. The target stroke position that the valve core needs to rotate to can be determined by querying the mapping relationship. For example, if the operating mode is mode 2, then the target stroke position is 30°.

[0079] Step 230: When the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position, calculate the corresponding rotation time of the valve core based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position.

[0080] Specifically, when the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position, it means that the valve core has not rotated to the corresponding target stroke position, that is, the water valve is not working in the corresponding operating mode. At this time, the position of the valve core needs to be adjusted. The difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position is the angle that the valve core needs to continue to rotate. Calculate the rotation time required for this rotation angle, and then control the valve core to rotate the corresponding angle according to this rotation time.

[0081] In one embodiment of this application, when calculating the rotation time, the rotation time of the valve core is first obtained, and then the corresponding rotation time of the valve core is calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position, as well as the rotation time. Here, the rotation time represents the time required for the valve core to rotate to its maximum stroke position, and the maximum stroke position of the valve core represents the position corresponding to the maximum angle the valve core can rotate. The valve core rotating to its maximum stroke position can refer to the time required for the valve core to rotate from its initial stroke position to its maximum stroke position, or it can refer to the time required for the valve core to return from its maximum stroke position to its initial stroke position; for example, if the initial stroke position of the valve core is 0° and the maximum stroke position is 90°, then the rotation time represents the time required for the valve core to rotate from 0° to 90°, or it can refer to the time required for the valve core to return from 90° to 0°.

[0082] In one embodiment of this application, during the calculation of rotation time, the first time taken for the valve core to rotate from the initial stroke position to the maximum stroke position and the second time taken for the valve core to rotate from the maximum stroke position to the initial stroke position are first obtained. Then, the average of the first and second times is taken as the rotation time of the valve core. Specifically, the first time T1 taken for the valve core to rotate from the initial stroke position Pmin to the maximum stroke position Pmax is recorded, and the second time T2 taken for the valve core to rotate from the maximum stroke position Pmax to the initial stroke position Pmin is recorded. Then, the rotation time T = (T1 + T2) / 2. The rotation time from the initial stroke position Pmin to the maximum stroke position Pmax can be obtained through the vehicle's self-test when it is powered on.

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, during rotation time, the percentage of the position to be rotated is first calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position. Then, the rotation time corresponding to the valve core is obtained by multiplying the preset time coefficient, the percentage of the position to be rotated, and the rotation time. The percentage of the position to be rotated represents the proportion of the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position in the rotatable stroke of the valve core. The rotatable stroke of the valve core represents the range of angles the valve core can rotate, generally the difference between the maximum stroke position and the initial stroke position. Therefore, the percentage of the position to be rotated can be calculated as follows: calculate the first difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position; calculate the second difference between the maximum position and the initial position of the valve core; and use the ratio of the first difference and the second difference as the percentage of the position to be rotated. Specifically, the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position is dP = Pt - Pp, where Pt represents the target stroke position of the valve core, and Pp represents the current stroke position of the valve core. Therefore, dP / (Pmax - Pmin) represents the percentage of the position to be rotated. Finally, the rotation time Tm = a*dP / (Pmax-Pmin)*T, where a represents the preset time coefficient, which can be taken in the range of 0.1-0.5; T is the rotation time of the valve core calculated above.

[0084] Step 240: Control the valve core rotation according to the rotation time so that the water valve works in the operating mode.

[0085] Specifically, the rotation time refers to the duration for which the valve core continues to rotate. The specified duration for which the valve core continues to rotate ensures that the valve core is finally positioned at the target stroke position, thereby enabling the water valve to operate in the selected operating mode and achieve the corresponding water circuit connection.

[0086] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, the operating mode of the vehicle water valve is first determined. The operating mode of the water valve indicates the interface in the water valve that forms a passage, and the interface is used to connect the water circuit in the vehicle. Then, the target stroke position to which the valve core of the water valve needs to be rotated is determined according to the operating mode. When the current stroke position of the valve core is inconsistent with the target stroke position, the rotation time corresponding to the valve core is calculated according to the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position. Then, the valve core is controlled to rotate according to the rotation time so that the water valve works in the operating mode. In this way, the operating mode of the water valve reflects the connection method of the water circuit in the vehicle. By changing the operating mode of the vehicle, the connection method of the water circuit can be changed, so that the water circuit in the vehicle can be flexibly switched without adding an additional valve, which improves the flexibility of water circuit control and reduces the cost of water circuit control.

[0087] In one embodiment of this application, the rotation time of the valve core is calculated based on the difference between the target stroke position and the current stroke position. The target stroke position may be greater than or less than the current stroke position. When the target stroke position is greater than the current stroke position, the difference is positive. In this case, the valve core is controlled to rotate forward for the duration corresponding to the specific value of the rotation time, causing the water valve to operate in the corresponding operating mode. When the target stroke position is less than the current stroke position, the difference is negative. In this case, the valve core is controlled to rotate backward for the duration corresponding to the specific value of the rotation time, causing the water valve to operate in the corresponding operating mode. For example, if the rotation time is 5 seconds, the valve core is controlled to rotate forward for 5 seconds. If the rotation time is -5 seconds, the valve core is controlled to rotate backward for 5 seconds.

[0088] In one embodiment of this application, during the rotation of the valve core, the product of the valve core's rotation speed and the rotation time is the valve core's stroke to be rotated. The valve core is then controlled to continue rotating from its current stroke position by the angle corresponding to this stroke, thus enabling the valve core to operate in the corresponding operating mode. Since the rotation time can be positive or negative, and the corresponding stroke to be rotated can also be positive or negative, generally, the sign of the stroke to be rotated is the same as the sign of the rotation time. Therefore, the rotation direction of the valve core can be determined based on either the rotation time or the sign of the stroke to be rotated. For example, with rotation time: when the rotation time is positive, the valve core is controlled to continue rotating in the forward direction from its current stroke position; when the rotation time is negative, the valve core is controlled to continue rotating in the reverse direction from its current stroke position. It can be understood that after determining the rotation direction, when the valve core rotates according to the stroke to be rotated, it only needs to rotate according to the specific value represented by the stroke to be rotated, without needing to consider the sign of the stroke to be rotated. It should be noted that although the steps of the method in this application are described in a specific order in the accompanying drawings, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that specific order, or that all the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired result. Additional or alternative steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into one step, and / or one step may be broken down into multiple steps.

[0089] In the technical solution provided in this application embodiment, by selecting the operating mode of the water valve and adjusting the rotation position of the valve core, any two flow channels in the water valve can be connected, that is, any two interfaces in the water valve can be connected, thereby realizing arbitrary switching of the water circuit and improving the flexibility of water circuit switching and adjustment in the vehicle. At the same time, the valve core is designed with a two-layer structure, and by adjusting the upper and lower layers of the valve core, the proportional adjustment function of the water circuit can also be realized. The water valve control of the technical solution in this embodiment does not require the introduction of an additional control valve, thereby reducing the overall vehicle operating cost.

[0090] The following describes an embodiment of the apparatus of this application, which can be used to execute the vehicle water valve control method in the above embodiments of this application.
