Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of diesel engine fuel system control technology, and in particular to a self-learning method, device and storage medium for the flow characteristics of a fuel metering valve. Background Technology

[0002] In modern diesel engines, the flow characteristics of the high-pressure fuel pump's fuel metering valve have a significant impact on the performance of the entire fuel supply system, directly affecting the rail pressure control quality of the high-pressure common rail system. Current technology for controlling the fuel metering valve involves calculating the required pumping flow rate of the high-pressure fuel pump based on the rail pressure deviation using a feedforward closed-loop control function. Then, based on the engine speed, the required drive current of the metering valve is calculated from a fuel metering valve flow characteristic table. Finally, this current is converted into a drive duty cycle and control frequency, which is then passed to the lower-level drive unit to operate the metering valve. Simultaneously, the lower-level unit feeds back the measured actual drive current of the metering valve to the application layer, where closed-loop control of the current is implemented.

[0003] The existing solution does not take into account the product consistency and wear issues of the fuel metering valve, resulting in inaccurate drive current calculated from the flow characteristics. This requires subsequent rail pressure closed-loop control to readjust the rail pressure, which can easily cause system oscillation. Summary of the Invention

[0084] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0085] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0086] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the embodiments of this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a technical feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0087] Figure 1 One of the method flowcharts for an embodiment of the self-learning method for the flow characteristics of a fuel metering valve provided by the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the self-learning method for the flow characteristics of the fuel metering valve includes:

[0088] S101. Convert the basic flow rate of the fuel metering valve into a first drive setting current and the corrected flow rate into a second drive setting current by using the flow characteristics of the fuel metering valve.

[0090] S103. When the vehicle meets the second preset condition, perform a second-stage self-learning on the fuel metering valve flow characteristics after the first-stage self-learning based on the difference.

[0091] Compared with the prior art, the fuel metering valve flow characteristic self-learning method provided in this embodiment of the invention converts the basic flow of the fuel metering valve into a first drive setting current and the corrected flow into a second drive setting current through the fuel metering valve flow characteristics. The difference between the first drive setting current and the second drive setting current is used as the flow characteristic current correction value that needs to be self-learned. Since the operating conditions of diesel engines are complex, by judging whether the vehicle meets the first preset condition or the second preset condition, the vehicle can perform two stages of self-learning under specific operating conditions. This solves the problem of rail pressure control deterioration caused by the inconsistency of metering valve production and aging, improves the accuracy of the drive current converted from the flow characteristics, and thus improves the stability and responsiveness of rail pressure control.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, before converting the base flow rate into a first drive setting current through the flow characteristics of the fuel metering valve, and before converting the corrected flow rate into a second drive setting current, the method further includes:

[0093] The base flow rate is determined based on the fuel injection quantity and leakage of the fuel injector;

[0094] The corrected flow rate is determined based on the rail pressure deviation.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, the step of performing a one-stage self-learning of the fuel metering valve flow characteristics based on the difference between the first drive setting current and the second drive setting current when the vehicle meets the first preset condition includes:

[0096] Based on the difference between the first drive setting current and the second drive setting current, a flow characteristic current correction value is determined;

[0097] Based on the current correction value of the flow characteristic, the flow characteristic of the fuel metering valve is subjected to a one-stage self-learning process.

[0098] The feedforward flow rate, or base flow rate, is calculated by summing the fuel injection volume and leakage volume of the injector.

[0099] At the same time, the correction flow is calculated through PID closed-loop based on the rail pressure deviation, that is, the rail pressure closed-loop control correction flow, and our goal is to eliminate the correction flow.

[0100] The basic flow rate and the corrected flow rate are converted into the drive setting current through the flow characteristics of the metering valve, respectively. The difference between the two is the flow characteristic current correction value that needs to be self-learned. This value is stored and used for subsequent corrections.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first preset condition includes:

[0102] The engine is idling.

[0103] PTO function is not enabled;

[0104] Cruise control is not enabled;

[0116] The crankshaft speed sensor has no current fault.

[0117] The deviation between the engine speed and the target idle speed is less than the first preset threshold.

[0118] The throttle opening is less than the second preset threshold.

[0119] The vehicle speed is less than the third preset threshold;

[0120] The fuel injection quantity is within the first preset range;

[0121] Coolant temperature is within the second preset range;

[0122] The fuel temperature is within the third preset range;

[0123] The first phase of self-study did not exceed the allotted time.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second preset condition includes:

[0125] The engine is idling.

[0126] PTO function is not enabled;

[0127] Cruise control is not enabled;

[0128] The air conditioner is off;

[0129] The starter motor is in the off position;

[0130] The vehicle is in neutral, and the neutral switch is working properly.

[0131] Assisted braking function is not activated;

[0137] The fuel metering valve has no current fault.

[0138] The vehicle speed sensor has no current fault.

[0139] The crankshaft speed sensor has no current fault.

[0140] The deviation between the engine speed and the target idle speed is less than the fourth preset threshold.

[0141] The engine speed is within the fourth preset range;

[0142] The throttle opening is less than the fifth preset threshold.

[0143] The vehicle speed is less than the sixth preset threshold;

[0144] The fuel injection quantity is within the fifth preset range;

[0145] The rail pressure deviation is less than the seventh preset threshold.

[0146] The coolant temperature is within the sixth preset range;

[0147] The fuel temperature is within the seventh preset range;

[0148] The battery voltage is within the eighth preset range;

[0149] Phase one of self-study has been completed;

[0150] The second phase of self-study time did not exceed the limit.

[0151] Due to the complex operating conditions of diesel engines, real-time self-learning is not the most effective method. Therefore, it is necessary to set stable operating conditions suitable for self-learning.

[0152] In addition, for optimization-type self-learning, the control level of the previous stage will have a certain impact on the self-learning quality of the next stage. To this end, the present invention designs a two-stage self-learning working condition, and the working condition constraints include a first preset condition and a second preset condition.

[0153] When all the first preset conditions are met, the system enters the first stage of self-learning, which is temporary self-learning; when all the second preset conditions are met, the system enters the second stage of self-learning, which is enhanced self-learning.

[0154] Understandably, the second preset condition is more stringent than the first preset condition, that is: the fourth preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold, the fifth preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold, the sixth preset threshold is less than the third preset threshold, the fifth preset range is less than the first preset range, the sixth preset range is less than the second preset range, and the seventh preset range is less than the third preset range.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present invention, before converting the base flow rate into a first drive setting current through the flow characteristics of the metering valve, and converting the corrected flow rate into a second drive setting current, the method further includes:

[0157] The base flow rate and the modified flow rate are respectively subjected to average value filtering to obtain the processed flow rate.

[0158] Applying average values ​​to the base flow and the corrected flow can smooth the data and reduce noise, resulting in a processed flow that reduces interference caused by noise and improves the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0159] The self-learning method for the flow characteristics of fuel metering valves provided by this invention adds a self-learning function for the flow characteristics of fuel metering valves compared to existing technical solutions. Figure 2 The diagram below illustrates the self-learning functional architecture of the metering valve flow characteristics provided by this invention. Figure 2 As shown, the software calculates the feedforward flow (i.e., the base flow) by summing the fuel injection quantity and leakage quantity of the injector. At the same time, it calculates the correction flow (i.e., the rail pressure closed-loop control correction flow) based on the rail pressure deviation through PID closed-loop. Our goal is to eliminate this correction flow. The solution is to convert the base flow and the correction flow into the drive set current through the flow characteristics of the metering valve, respectively. The difference between the two is the flow characteristic current correction value that needs to be self-learned. This value is stored and used for subsequent corrections.

[0160] Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the self-learning method for the flow characteristics of the metering valve provided by the present invention. Due to the complex operating conditions of diesel engines, real-time self-learning is not the most effective method. Therefore, a stable operating condition suitable for self-learning needs to be established.
