[0024] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-described drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily indicate a specific order or a chronological sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0025] In order to realize the detection and control of the real-time working state of the engine, the rotational speed sensor is mostly used to monitor the rotational speed of the supercharger. However, there is no standard device in the prior art for calibrating the rotational speed sensor of the supercharger of the diesel engine, so that the reliability of the detection data of the rotational speed of the supercharger of the engine cannot be guaranteed on the basis that the rotational speed sensor of the supercharger cannot be calibrated.
[0026] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides an engine cooling control method, the engine comprising an electronically controlled ball valve thermostat, the electronically controlled ball valve thermostat comprising an inlet connected with a cooling water jacket and an oil cooler respectively, and further comprising a large circulation ball valve outlet connected with a water pump through a radiator and a small circulation ball valve outlet directly connected with the water pump; the engine cooling control method comprising:
[0027] S1 obtaining a plurality of engine working conditions, a plurality of actual cooling liquid temperatures corresponding to the plurality of engine working conditions respectively, and a plurality of engine target cooling liquid temperatures;
[0028] S2 determining a relationship MAP between a large circulation ball valve opening degree, a small circulation ball valve opening degree and an engine working condition according to the plurality of engine working conditions and the plurality of engine target cooling liquid temperatures;
[0029] S3 determines the opening degree of the large circulation ball valve and the opening degree of the small circulation ball valve based on the difference between the actual coolant temperature and the target coolant temperature, as well as the relationship between the opening degree of the large circulation ball valve, the opening degree of the small circulation ball valve and the engine operating conditions (MAP).
[0030] A method was established to determine the large and small circulation openings of the electronically controlled ball valve in the cooling system based on the target engine coolant temperature. Determining the MAP (Maximum Aspect Ratio) of the large and small circulation openings of the electronically controlled ball valve facilitates more accurate control of the coolant temperature to reach the target temperature. This more accurate coolant temperature control contributes to reduced fuel consumption. Furthermore, determining the MAP of the large and small circulation openings of the electronically controlled ball valve using this method saves time on testing and calibration, reducing product development costs.
[0031] The target engine coolant temperature can be obtained according to the following specific embodiments:
[0032] Under thermal equilibrium conditions, the parameters that can be directly obtained include the engine outlet water temperature and the radiator fan speed. The engine outlet water temperature is the actual coolant temperature.
[0033] First, the heat carried away by the coolant is related to engine speed, load rate, target coolant flow rate of the water pump, engine inlet water temperature, and outlet water temperature:
[0034]
[0035] Where: H C Let Q be the heat carried away by the coolant, n be the engine speed, ε be the engine load rate, and Q be the engine load factor. p T represents the target coolant flow rate of the water pump. C-out T is the engine's outlet water temperature. c-in This represents the engine's inlet water temperature. The coefficients C1, k1, k2, k3, and k4 can be determined using experimental data.
[0036] The engine inlet water temperature is related to the heat carried away by the coolant, the target coolant flow rate of the water pump, and the engine outlet water temperature.
[0037]
[0038] In the formula C c1 This refers to the average specific heat capacity of the engine coolant.
[0039] Under thermal equilibrium, the heat carried away by the coolant equals the heat dissipated by the radiator:
[0040] H C =H r (1.3)
[0041] The heat dissipation of the radiator is related to the target coolant flow of the water pump, the air speed flowing through the radiator, and the liquid-gas temperature difference, which is the difference between the engine outlet water temperature and the atmospheric temperature:
[0042] H r = C2·Q p δ1 ·v r δ2 ·(T C-out -T a ) δ3 (1.4)
[0043] In the formula, H r is the heat dissipation of the radiator, v r is the air speed flowing through the radiator, T a is the atmospheric temperature, and the coefficients c2, δ1, δ2, and δ3 are determined through test data.
[0044] The outlet water temperature of the radiator is related to the heat dissipation of the radiator, the target flow of the radiator, and the engine outlet water temperature:
[0045]
[0046] In the formula, T r-out is the outlet water temperature of the radiator, C C2 is the average specific heat capacity of the radiator coolant, and Q r is the target flow of the radiator.
[0047] The sum of the target flow of the radiator and the coolant flow of the small cycle is equal to the target coolant flow of the water pump:
[0048] Q r +Q d =Q p (1.6)
[0049] In the formula, Q d is the target flow of the ball valve small cycle.
[0050] The product of the engine outlet water temperature and the coolant flow and specific heat capacity of the small cycle, the product of the outlet water temperature of the radiator and the target flow and specific heat capacity of the radiator, and the product of the engine inlet water temperature and the target coolant flow and specific heat capacity of the water pump are equal to the sum of the first and second products:
[0051] C C3 ·Q d ·T C-out +C C4 ·Q r ·T r-out = C C5 ·Q p ·T c-in(1.7)
[0052] In the formula C C3 C is the specific heat capacity of the small-circulation coolant. C4 C represents the specific heat capacity of the water outlet from the radiator. C5 This refers to the specific heat capacity of water entering the engine.
[0053] Therefore, at a certain engine speed, load, and target coolant temperature, the target coolant flow rate of the water pump, the target flow rate of the radiator, and the target flow rate of the ball valve small circulation can be obtained.
[0054] As an optional implementation, determining the relationship MAP between the large circulation ball valve opening, the small circulation ball valve opening, and the engine operating conditions based on the engine operating conditions and the target engine coolant temperature includes: determining the target flow rate at the outlet of the large circulation ball valve and the target flow rate at the outlet of the small circulation ball valve; determining the target pressure drop at the outlet of the large circulation ball valve and the target pressure drop at the outlet of the small circulation ball valve; and determining the relationship MAP between the large circulation ball valve opening, the small circulation ball valve opening, and the engine operating conditions based on the target flow rate at the outlet of the large circulation ball valve, the target flow rate at the outlet of the small circulation ball valve, the target pressure drop at the outlet of the large circulation ball valve, and the target pressure drop at the outlet of the small circulation ball valve.
[0055] Specifically, the flow rate and pressure drop curves of the cooling water jacket, the oil cooler, and the radiator can be obtained through experimental testing or CFD simulation; according to the cooling water flow rate and pressure drop relationship formula ΔP=kρQ 2 / (2A 2 In the formula, ΔP is the pressure drop of the coolant, k is the drag coefficient, ρ is the density of the coolant, Q is the volumetric flow rate of the coolant, and A is the cross-sectional area. kρ / (2A) 2 ΔP is defined as the drag characteristic coefficient, denoted as C, therefore ΔP = CQ 2 Based on the flow rate and pressure drop curve of the cooling water jacket, the resistance characteristic coefficient C of the cooling water jacket can be calculated. WJ Based on the flow rate and pressure drop curve of the oil cooler, the resistance characteristic coefficient C of the oil cooler can be calculated. OC Because the oil cooler is connected in parallel with the cooling water jacket, the cooling pressure drop of the oil cooler is ΔP. OC Equal to the pressure drop ΔP of the cooling water jacket WJ That is, ΔP OC =ΔP WJ And ΔP OC =C OC Q OC 2 ΔP WJ =C WJ Q WJ 2 Therefore, C OC QOC 2 =C WJ Q WJ 2 Q OC +Q WJ =Q P Target coolant flow rate Q of water pump P The flow rate Q of the cooling water jacket can be calculated using the seven relationships derived in step 1. WJ and the coolant flow rate Q of the oil cooler OC The pressure drop of the cooling water jacket is obtained from the flow rate and pressure drop curve of the cooling water jacket; the target cooling pressure drop of the radiator is obtained from the coolant flow rate and pressure drop curve of the radiator and the target coolant flow rate of the radiator, where the target coolant flow rate of the radiator has been calculated.
[0056] Based on the engine speed and the known pulley speed ratio of the mechanical water pump, the water pump speed is obtained. Using the water pump speed and target coolant flow rate, and through tests of water pump components to measure the speed, flow rate, and head data, the target water pump head is determined. Based on the target water pump head H, the target pressure rise ΔP is calculated. cp , where ΔP cp =ρgH, where ρ is the density of the coolant, and the target pressure rise ΔP of the water pump is... cp Equal to the pressure drop ΔP of the cooling water jacket WJ Adding the target cooling hydraulic pressure drop ΔP in the large circulation of the ball valve BVR The target cooling hydraulic pressure drop ΔP of the radiator R That is, ΔP cp =ΔP WJ +ΔP BVR +ΔP R Therefore, the target coolant pressure drop in the ball valve's main circulation can be calculated. The target coolant flow rate in the ball valve's main circulation is equal to the target coolant flow rate in the radiator, where the target coolant flow rate has already been determined. Thus, the target coolant flow rate and pressure drop data for the ball valve's main circulation are obtained. By collecting the inlet coolant pressure and outlet coolant pressure and flow rate of the ball valve's main circulation, the actual coolant flow rate and pressure drop data for the ball valve's main circulation are obtained. According to the formula ΔP = CQ, the coolant pressure drop and flow rate relationship is calculated. 2 By comparing the target coolant flow rate and pressure drop data with the actual coolant flow rate and pressure drop data of the ball valve's large circulation loop, the target resistance characteristic coefficient and the actual resistance characteristic coefficient of the ball valve's large circulation loop are calculated. The opening of the ball valve's large circulation loop is then adjusted until the actual resistance characteristic coefficient equals the target resistance characteristic coefficient. Thus, the opening of the ball valve's large circulation loop at a certain engine speed and load is obtained. This can be further extended to obtain the MAP of the ball valve's large circulation loop opening at various engine speeds and loads.
[0057] The target pressure rise ΔP of the water pump cpAt the same time equal to the target pressure drop ΔP of the cooling water jacket WJ Plus the target cooling liquid pressure drop ΔP of the ball valve small circulation BVD , ΔP cp = ΔP WJ + ΔP BVD , so the target cooling liquid pressure drop of the ball valve small circulation can be obtained, and thus the target cooling liquid flow data and the pressure drop data of the ball valve small circulation are obtained. By collecting the inlet cooling liquid pressure of the ball valve and the outlet cooling liquid pressure and flow of the ball valve small circulation, the actual cooling liquid flow data and the pressure drop data of the ball valve small circulation are obtained. According to the cooling liquid pressure drop flow relationship formula ΔP = CQ 2 , the target cooling liquid flow data and the pressure drop data of the ball valve small circulation and the actual cooling liquid flow data and the pressure drop data are obtained, the target resistance characteristic coefficient and the actual resistance characteristic coefficient of the ball valve small circulation are obtained, the opening of the ball valve small circulation is adjusted until the actual resistance characteristic coefficient of the ball valve small circulation is equal to the target resistance characteristic coefficient, and thus the opening of the ball valve small circulation under a certain speed and load of the engine is obtained, and the opening MAP of the ball valve small circulation under each speed and load of the engine is further expanded.
