Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive electronics technology, and in particular to an intake air filtration control method, device, electronic equipment, and medium for an engine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, cyclone filters are increasingly widely used in engine intake systems. A cyclone filter has a cyclone filter tube placed in front of the paper filter element. It uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone to remove larger particulate impurities from the intake air, thus improving filter element lifespan.

[0003] In related technologies, the filtration efficiency of cyclone filters is designed based on the rated flow rate. At low loads, the air velocity is low, resulting in poor impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an intake air filtration control method, device, electronic equipment, and medium for an engine, which can improve the efficiency of impurity separation in a cyclone filter and extend the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an intake air filtration control method for an engine, the engine including a cyclone filter; the cyclone filter includes a filter element and a plurality of cyclone filter tubes; the method includes:

[0006] The engine's operating parameters and design parameters are obtained; the design parameters include engine structural parameters and filter pipe design parameters; the operating parameters include engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0007] Based on the engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, determine the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter;

[0008] The target number of filter tubes is determined based on the target air intake flow rate and the filter tube design parameters.

[0009] Select the target number of cyclone filter tubes from the cyclone filter as the target cyclone filter tubes, and set the target cyclone filter tubes to the open state.

[0010] The above method acquires engine operating parameters and design parameters. The design parameters include engine structural parameters and filter tube design parameters. The operating parameters include engine speed and intake manifold pressure. Based on the engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter is determined. Based on the target intake airflow and filter tube design parameters, the target number of filter tubes is determined. Cyclone filter tubes of the target number are selected from the cyclone filter and set to an open state. This method can determine the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter during engine operation, determine the target number of filter tubes, select the target number of filter tubes, and set them to an open state. This increases the airflow velocity within the cyclone filter, thereby improving the impurity separation efficiency and extending the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the engine structural parameter information includes engine displacement; determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, the engine speed, and the intake manifold pressure includes:

[0012] The engine displacement, the engine speed and the intake manifold pressure are multiplied together, and the result of the product is used as the characteristic intake flow rate.

[0013] The target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter is determined based on the characteristic intake flow rate.

[0014] The above method, wherein the engine structural parameter information includes engine displacement; determining the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure includes: multiplying the engine displacement, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, and using the product as a characteristic intake flow rate; determining the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter based on the characteristic intake flow rate, can quickly and accurately determine the target intake flow rate, reduce the computational load of the engine's intake filtration control process, further improve the impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter, and increase the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the filter tube design parameter information includes the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity; determining the target number of filter tubes based on the target inlet air velocity and the filter tube design parameter information includes:

[0016] The target single-pipe flow rate is determined based on the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity.

[0017] The number of target filter tubes is determined based on the target intake flow rate and the target single-tube flow rate.

[0018] The above method, wherein the filter tube design parameter information includes the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target intake air velocity; the step of determining the target number of filter tubes based on the target intake air velocity and the filter tube design parameter information includes: determining the target single-tube flow rate based on the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target intake air velocity; and determining the target number of filter tubes based on the target intake air velocity and the target single-tube flow rate. In the above method, the target single-tube flow rate is determined based on the flow cross-sectional area and the target intake air velocity in the filter tube design parameter information. Different engines may have different flow cross-sectional areas, and even for the same engine, once the flow cross-sectional area is fixed, the target intake air velocity can be set differently, allowing for more flexible determination of the target number of filter tubes. This achieves a more efficient increase in the air velocity within the cyclone filter, thereby improving the impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter and extending the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0019] In one possible implementation, before determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, the engine speed, and the intake manifold pressure, the method further includes:

[0020] In response to the engine start command, all of the cyclone filter tubes are set to the open state;

[0021] Setting the target cyclone filter tube to the open state includes:

[0022] The target cyclone filter tube is set to the open state, while all non-target cyclone filter tubes are closed.

[0023] The above method, before determining the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, the engine speed, and the intake manifold pressure, further includes: in response to the engine start command, setting all the cyclone filter tubes to an open state; setting the target cyclone filter tube to an open state includes: setting the target cyclone filter tube among the cyclone filter tubes to an open state, so that all non-target cyclone filter tubes except the target cyclone filter tube are closed.

[0024] This method, in response to the engine start command, sets all the cyclone filter tubes to the open state. After determining the target cyclone filter tube, it sets only the target cyclone filter tube to the open state, while closing all other non-target cyclone filter tubes. This achieves the following: when the engine starts, all the cyclone filter tubes are opened; after determining the target cyclone filter tube, only the target cyclone filter tube is set to the open state, while closing all other non-target cyclone filter tubes. This allows for more precise opening of the target cyclone filter tube, more effectively increasing the airflow rate within the cyclone filter, further improving the impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter, and extending the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the operating parameter information further includes engine load rate; before determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, the engine speed, and the intake manifold pressure, the method further includes:

[0026] Based on the engine speed and the engine load rate, it is determined that the engine meets the preset stable state conditions; the stable state conditions indicate that the rate of change of engine speed does not exceed a preset first threshold and the rate of change of load rate does not exceed a preset second threshold.

[0027] The above method further includes engine load rate as an operating parameter information. Before determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, it further includes: determining that the engine meets preset stable state conditions based on the engine speed and engine load rate. The stable state conditions characterize that the rate of change of engine speed does not exceed a preset first threshold, and the rate of change of load rate does not exceed a preset second threshold. In this method, the ECU identifies engine speed and load rate. If the rate of change of speed and load rate over time is less than the corresponding threshold, the engine is considered to be in a stable state that meets the stable state conditions. Based on this, the valve opening can be controlled to avoid the target intake airflow when the engine speed and load change drastically in a short period of time. This reduces redundant control of the intake filter and avoids the adverse effects caused by executing the engine's intake filter control when the engine speed and load change drastically in a short period of time. It also more effectively improves the airflow velocity in the cyclone filter, which can further improve the efficiency of impurity separation in the cyclone filter and increase the filter element life of the cyclone filter.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0029] If the engine is determined to meet a preset intake demand surge condition based on the engine speed and the engine load rate, then all the cyclone filter tubes are set to the open state; the intake demand surge condition indicates that the engine speed change rate exceeds a preset third threshold, or the load rate change rate exceeds a preset fourth threshold.

[0030] The above method can also set all cyclone filter tubes to the open state when the engine meets a preset intake demand surge condition based on the engine speed and engine load rate. The intake demand surge condition indicates that the rate of change of engine speed exceeds a preset third threshold, or the rate of change of load rate exceeds a preset fourth threshold. This method can avoid setting only some cyclone filter tubes to open when the engine meets the preset intake demand surge condition, thereby ensuring sufficient intake air supply when the engine is in a state that meets the intake demand surge condition, more effectively increasing the airflow velocity in the cyclone filter, further improving the impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter, increasing the filter element life of the cyclone filter, improving the user experience of the engine intake filtration control process, and improving the overall vehicle performance stability.

[0041] The number of target filter tubes is determined based on the target intake flow rate and the target single-tube flow rate.

[0042] In one possible implementation, the device further includes a power-on filter tube control unit; the power-on filter tube control unit is configured to:

[0043] In response to the engine start command, all of the cyclone filter tubes are set to the open state;

[0044] The intake filter control unit is specifically used for:

[0045] After selecting the target number of cyclone filter tubes from the cyclone filter as the target cyclone filter tubes, the target cyclone filter tubes are set to the open state, while all non-target cyclone filter tubes are closed.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the operating parameter information further includes engine load rate; the target flow determination unit is further configured to:

[0047] Before determining the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, the engine is determined to meet preset stable state conditions based on the engine speed and engine load rate; the stable state conditions indicate that the engine speed change rate does not exceed a preset first threshold and the load rate change rate does not exceed a preset second threshold.

[0068] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Currently, cyclone filters are increasingly widely used in engine intake systems. A cyclone filter has a cyclone filter tube placed in front of the paper filter element. It uses the centrifugal force generated by the cyclone to remove larger particulate impurities from the intake air, thus improving filter element lifespan.

[0070] In related technologies, the filtration efficiency of cyclone filters is designed based on the rated flow rate. At low loads, the air velocity is low, resulting in poor impurity separation efficiency of the cyclone filter.

[0072] The preferred embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this application. Furthermore, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0073] The intake air filtration control method for an engine provided in this application will be further explained below. This application provides an intake air filtration control method for an engine, the engine including a cyclone filter; the cyclone filter includes a filter element and multiple cyclone filter tubes; as shown... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0074] S101, acquire engine operating parameter information and design parameter information; design parameter information includes engine structural parameter information and filter pipe design parameter information; operating parameter information includes engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0075] Specifically, during engine operation, the ECU acquires engine operating parameter information and design parameter information; the design parameter information includes engine structural parameter information and filter pipe design parameter information; the operating parameter information includes engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0076] For example, the engine's operating parameter information Run_Pa_info and design parameter information Des_Pa_info are obtained; the design parameter information Run_Pa_info includes engine structural parameter information E_co_Pa and filter tube design parameter information P_De_Pa; the operating parameter information Run_Pa_info includes engine speed speed_E and intake manifold pressure Pres_I.

[0077] S102 determines the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure.

[0078] In practice, the ECU determines the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure.

[0079] In some embodiments, the engine structural parameter information includes engine displacement; in step S102, the process of determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on the engine structural parameter information, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure can be implemented through the following steps:

[0080] A01 is the product of engine displacement, engine speed and intake manifold pressure, and the result of the product is used as the characteristic intake flow rate.

[0081] Engine displacement refers to the total displacement of the vehicle's engines.

[0082] For example, the engine structural parameter information E_co_Pa includes the engine displacement Swept; the engine displacement Swept, engine speed speed_E, and intake manifold pressure Pres_I are multiplied, and the result of the product is used as the characteristic intake flow rate charac_q. That is, the characteristic intake flow rate charac_q can be calculated by the following formula:

[0083] charac_q=Swept×speed_E×Pres_I,

[0084] Where charac_q represents the characteristic intake flow rate;

[0085] Swept indicates engine displacement;

[0086] speed_E represents the engine speed;

[0087] Pres_I represents the intake manifold pressure.

[0088] A02, based on the characteristic intake flow rate, determine the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter.

[0089] In one possible embodiment, determining the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter based on the characteristic intake flow rate is done by directly using the characteristic intake flow rate as the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter.

[0090] In some embodiments, the target intake airflow can be obtained by the following formula:

[0091] q0 = charac_q,

[0092] in,

[0093] q0 represents the target intake airflow;

[0094] charac_q represents the characteristic intake airflow rate.

[0095] In some other embodiments, the target airflow through the cyclone filter is determined based on the characteristic airflow. Alternatively, the characteristic airflow can be multiplied by a preset coefficient greater than 1, and the result of the multiplication can be used as the target airflow through the cyclone filter.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, the preset coefficients can be obtained by calibrating the engine through bench testing.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the operating parameter information also includes engine load rate; before determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on engine structural parameter information, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, it also includes:

[0098] Based on engine speed and engine load rate, the engine is determined to meet preset steady-state conditions; the steady-state conditions characterize that the rate of change of engine speed does not exceed a preset first threshold and the rate of change of load rate does not exceed a preset second threshold.

[0099] In the embodiments of this application, the first threshold and the second threshold may be the same or different, and this application does not make specific limitations on this.

[0100] In practice, the operating parameter information also includes engine load rate; the ECU determines that the engine meets the preset stable state conditions based on engine speed and engine load rate; the stable state conditions indicate that the rate of change of engine speed does not exceed the preset first threshold and the rate of change of load rate does not exceed the preset second threshold; if the engine meets the preset stable state conditions, the target intake flow rate through the cyclone filter is determined based on the engine structural parameter information, engine speed and intake manifold pressure.

[0101] For example, the values ​​of both the first threshold and the second threshold can be set to 0.05.

[0102] S103, determine the target number of filter tubes based on the target intake flow rate and filter tube design parameters.

[0103] In one possible implementation, the filter tube design parameters include the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity; in step S103, the target number of filter tubes is determined based on the target inlet air flow rate and the filter tube design parameters, such as... Figure 2 As shown, this can be achieved through the following steps:

[0104] S201, determine the target single-pipe flow rate based on the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity.

[0105] Specifically, the ECU determines the target single-pipe flow rate based on the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target intake air velocity.

[0106] In one possible implementation, the target single-pipe flow rate is determined based on the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity by multiplying the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube and the target inlet air velocity, and the result of the multiplication is taken as the target single-pipe flow rate.

[0107] The target single-pipe flow rate can be calculated using the following formula:

[0108] q_s = v × s,

[0109] in,

[0110] q_s represents the target single-pipe flow rate;

[0111] v represents the target inlet airflow velocity of the cyclone filter tube;

[0112] s represents the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter tube.

[0113] S202, determine the target number of filter tubes based on the target intake flow rate and the target single-tube flow rate.

[0114] Specifically, the target number of filter tubes is determined based on the target intake flow rate and the target single-tube flow rate.

[0115] In one possible implementation, the target number of filter tubes is determined based on the target intake flow rate and the target single-tube flow rate. Specifically, the target intake flow rate is divided by the target single-tube flow rate; the result of the division is rounded according to a preset rule, and the rounded result is used as the target number of filter tubes.

[0116] In some embodiments of this application, the specific number of target filter tubes can be calculated using the following formula:

[0117] N = TR(q0 / q_s),

[0118] Where N represents the target number of filter tubes;

[0119] q0 represents the target intake airflow;

[0120] q_s represents the target single-pipe flow rate;

[0121] / indicates a division operation;

[0122] TR() indicates that the integer part is being rounded down.

[0123] S104: Select the target number of cyclone filter tubes from the cyclone filter, use them as target cyclone filter tubes, and set the target cyclone filter tubes to the open state.

[0124] In practice, the ECU selects the target number of cyclone filter tubes from the cyclone filter as the target cyclone filter tubes and sets the target cyclone filter tubes to the open state.

[0125] For example, assume the engine includes a cyclone filter; the cyclone filter includes a filter and M cyclone filter tubes; after determining the target number of filter tubes N, the ECU selects N cyclone filter tubes from the M cyclone filters as target cyclone filter tubes and sets the target cyclone filter tubes to the open state. Here, N is less than or equal to M.

[0126] In some embodiments of this application, each cyclone filter tube is equipped with a corresponding valve, which is used to control the opening and closing of the corresponding cyclone filter tube.

[0127] In one possible implementation, before determining the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter based on engine structural parameter information, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure in step S102, the following is also performed:

[0128] In response to the engine start command, all cyclone filter tubes are set to the open state;

[0129] Step S104, the process of setting the target cyclone filter tube to the open state, specifically involves:

[0130] Set the target cyclone filter tube in the cyclone filter tube to the open state, so that all non-target cyclone filter tubes are closed.

[0131] In one possible implementation, the engine intake air filtration control method further includes:

[0132] If the engine speed and engine load rate determine that the engine meets the preset intake demand surge condition, then all cyclone filter pipes are set to the open state; the intake demand surge condition indicates that the engine speed change rate exceeds the preset third threshold, or the load rate change rate exceeds the preset fourth threshold.

[0133] In the embodiments of this application, the third threshold and the fourth threshold may be the same or different; the values ​​of the first threshold, the second threshold, the third threshold and the fourth threshold may be exactly the same, different from each other, or partially the same; this application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0134] In practice, the third threshold is usually greater than or equal to the first threshold, and the fourth threshold is greater than or equal to the second threshold.

[0135] In some embodiments of this application, the third threshold and the fourth threshold can both be set to a value between 0.03 and 0.1.

[0136] In one embodiment of this application, the third threshold is the same as the first threshold, and the fourth threshold is the same as the second threshold. This embodiment enables precise and efficient state control of the cyclone filter tube.

[0137] The above Figure 1The engine intake air filtration control method shown involves acquiring engine operating parameters and design parameters during engine operation. The design parameters include engine structural parameters and filter tube design parameters. The operating parameters include engine speed and intake manifold pressure. Based on the engine structural parameters, engine speed, and intake manifold pressure, the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter is determined. Based on the target intake airflow and filter tube design parameters, the target number of filter tubes is determined. Cyclone filter tubes of the target number are selected from the cyclone filter and set to an open state. This method can determine the target intake airflow through the cyclone filter during engine operation, determine the target number of filter tubes, select the target number of filter tubes, and set them to an open state. This increases the airflow velocity within the cyclone filter, thereby improving the efficiency of impurity separation and extending the filter element life.

[0138] The following describes another intake air filtration control method for an engine provided by an embodiment of this application. The engine includes a cyclone filter; the cyclone filter includes a filter element and multiple cyclone filter tubes; the intake air filtration control method for this engine, as follows... Figure 3 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0139] S301, in response to the engine start command, sets all cyclone filter tubes to the open state.

[0140] S302, obtains engine operating parameter information and design parameter information.

[0141] The design parameters include engine structural parameters and filter pipe design parameters; the operating parameters include engine speed, intake manifold pressure, and engine load rate; and the filter pipe design parameters include the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the cyclone filter pipe and the target intake air velocity.

[0143] In one embodiment of this application, based on engine speed and engine load rate, it is determined whether the engine meets preset stable state conditions. If yes, steps S304 to S308 are executed based on the acquired engine operating parameter information and design parameter information; if no, steps S304 to S308 are not executed based on the acquired engine operating parameter information and design parameter information.
